After coming down from the Vast Ocean Divine Palace, Long Chen had officially entered the Vast Ocean Imperial Palace. This time, the Vast Ocean Imperial Palace had held such a grand ceremony to welcome Long Chen. Regardless of their motives, they had at least announced it to the world.
After the ceremony, all the martialists of the Vast Ocean Imperial Palace dispersed. Long Chen and Chen Xingyao walked towards the depths of the Vast Ocean Imperial Palace.
This was how it was in the Vast Ocean Imperial Palace. The higher one's strength and status, the further one could go. Generally, the martialists of the Samsara Realm could only stay in the periphery of the Vast Ocean Imperial Palace.
Along the way, Long Chen saw many colorful martialists. There were even more martialists of the Sea Race than the Demon Race, and they were even more mystical. Lingxi was momentarily dazzled.
Long Chen chatted with Chen Xingyao as he walked.
It turned out that Chen Xingyao was a martialist of the Dragon Devouring City. He had been with the Sea Race for thousands of years. When he first came here, he had not yet reached the Demigod Body. Now that he had reached the late Demigod Body, even if he returned to the Human Race, he would be a top figure.
"Although it's a little presumptuous, I can't help but ask. Since you are a human, why did you stay with the Sea Race for so long? With your strength, even if you returned to the Human Race, you would be treated well and have a good status. Now, your status in the Sea Race doesn't seem to be high."
From the situation along the way, the martialists of the Sea Race did not seem to like Chen Xingyao very much. Along the way, no one greeted him.
Previously, when he welcomed Long Chen, it seemed like it was Chen Xingyao's first time entering the Vast Ocean Divine Palace. In the territory of the Sea Race, it was impossible for a human like him to have a high status.
Chen Xingyao smiled faintly and was very calm. He said, "It's been many years. You should be surprised to hear this. I grew up with Chen Ting. When I was still in the Six Paths of Samsara Realm, my cultivation was similar to his. I was one of the top geniuses of the Dragon Devouring City at that time. Most of the time, it was basically the two of us competing. Once, due to some matters, we became enemies and lost. So, I left the Dragon God Domain and escaped here. The Sea Race took me in."
Long Chen did not expect him to be related to the Black Hell Emperor.
Now, he had casually explained what had happened in the past, but he had no choice but to flee to the Sea Race. It seemed that the matter was quite big. Long Chen wasn't sure which side Chen Xingyao was on, so he was more cautious. Maybe he was sent by the six Sea Emperors to investigate him.
"After spending so many years here, I'm used to it. Plus, the Black Hell Emperor is still in the Devouring Dragon City and is stronger than me, so I didn't go back. Later on, I even got married here. Although the Black Hell Emperor is gone, I don't think I'll go back."
Chen Xingyao narrowed his eyes and said in a very calm tone.
Although he was a middle-aged man, his tone was that of an old man.
Long Chen originally wanted to ask him about the location of the Sacred Stone of Karma and the Sacred Stone of Three Lives. However, after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly asked about this matter. If he were to reveal this matter to the six Sea Emperors, he might reveal his motive in advance.
Chen Xingyao still couldn't be fully trusted.
"As for you, why would the 15 Dragon Emperors want to build a good relationship with the Sea Race? To me, this is really unimaginable."
Chen Xingyao changed the topic, as if he was trying to get information from Long Chen.
Long Chen said seriously, "The Sea Race is the most suitable. It hasn't been peaceful recently, and there will definitely be more things happening in the future. For example, the Primeval Troll on the Devil Star. That's why I came here. It's not easy to communicate with the Sea Race. You're still a human, so I guess I'll need your help during this period."
He took it as the truth. Anyway, he couldn't trust this guy now.
Who knew what kind of changes he had gone through in the thousands of years he had been with the Sea Race.
Hearing this, Chen Xingyao suddenly shook his head and said, "Long Chen, you don't have to trick me. I know the 15 Dragon Emperors. They look down on the Sea Race. They are people who think highly of themselves. Even if they die in battle, they won't ask for help from the Sea Race that they despise."
He was very sure of what he said.
"But I am not. Furthermore, my thoughts can influence the decisions of fifteen Dragon Emperors. Do you believe that?" Long Chen stopped in his tracks and stared at the other party as he spoke word by word. "That's right.
If Chen Xingyao had finished speaking just now, he would have been seen through by Long Chen if he wasn't firm enough. Every time a conversation or a confrontation was about to reach a deadlock, Long Chen would choose to use his own strong method to break through the opponent's defense.
Just like this time, Chen Xingyao was speechless.
Obviously, he really wanted to know if Long Chen had other motives. However, Long Chen directly used his own method to tell him that he didn't.
"We're here."
Chen Xingyao smiled and made arrangements for Long Chen. Then, he gave Long Chen a star talisman and said, "If you need anything, you can contact me at any time. I'm not far from here. Also, let me remind you that the Sea Race's Imperial City is heavily guarded. The Sea Race's people are rude and unreasonable, and they like to cause trouble. If you want to move around, it's best to call me along, lest some blind people provoke you. The six Sea Emperors should also come to visit you personally or summon you. The Sea Sacrifice Ceremony will be held in half a month. If you can attend, it will be a signal to the outside world that the Human Race and the Sea Race are on good terms."
"No problem."
Long Chen said with a smile.
The Sea Race's buildings had a different flavor. They were in the deep sea, and the walls were like azure glass. It was as if the entire Imperial City was a huge dao treasure that was stable and hard to destroy. There were pearls, gems, agates, shells, and other beautiful decorations in the surroundings. Apart from the faint smell of blood in the air, this was indeed a good place.
After Chen Xingyao left, Long Chen and Lingxi stayed here with peace of mind. Of course, he had to finish inheriting the essence blood within these 15 days.
Of course, the six Sea Emperors would definitely be on guard against him. They might even use other methods to test Long Chen. After all, to them, Long Chen was like a time bomb that could explode at any time.
… …..
Chen Xingyao walked towards the Devil Blue Palace.
The Devil Blue Palace was the largest palace after the six Sea Emperors' palaces. It was the seventh largest palace in Imperial City.
The two words "Devil Blue" came from the Sea Race's Blue Devil Clan.
Among the Sea Race, the Sea Snake Clan had tens of thousands of species. Their overall strength was ranked in the top five among the Sea Race. They were very tyrannical. The top two bloodlines were the Xi Yao Clan, where the fifth Sea Emperor, Xi Yao Clan, and the other was the Devil Blue Clan.
The Blue Devil clan was slightly inferior to the Xiyao clan's bloodline. It wasn't considered one of the six peak bloodlines, but in fact, it wasn't far from the six peak bloodlines. Even the Blue Devil clan's terrifying lethality was more terrifying than the Xiyao clan's, making the entire Sea Clan tremble with fear.
Of course, whether it was the six peak bloodlines or the Blue Devil Clan, they were very few in number. Each of the six peak bloodlines only had a few dozen, some even had a dozen. Of course, only one could truly grow to the Sea Emperor level.
The reason why the Devil Blue Clan was famous was because of the Devil Blue Palace's master. She was a famous character in the Sea Race. Her fame wasn't inferior to Xi Yao Clan's. She was already the seventh Sea Emperor.
There were even people who called her the Devil Blue Emperor in private.
Of course, in terms of strength, she wasn't at the Sea Emperor level, but she had already passed the Nine Palace Tribulation. However, she had a huge advantage. She was much younger than Xi Yao Clan. She was in the same generation as Long Chen's father, Long Qinglan.
With Long Qinglan's generation, other than himself, there were probably only two or three people in the Eternal Sacred Realm who had passed the Nine Palace Tribulation. The Spirit Race and the Demon Race might have one, but the Human Race and the Witch Race didn't have one. The only one that could be confirmed was the Devil Blue Emperor.
From this, it could be seen that in the entire Eternal Sacred Realm, if there was no Eternal Dragon Emperor, this Devil Blue Emperor would be the strongest person in the current era. She was stronger than people like the Blue Fire Emperor, Xue Chi, and Chen Xingyao.
Moreover, this Devil Blue Emperor was a woman.
Of course, for the Sea Snake Race, it was normal for females to be more attractive than males.
The Devil Blue Race was a rare snake of pain. They had hundreds of rare poisons and all kinds of poison effects. They had hundreds of ways to poison their opponents to death. The Devil Blue Race's poison was mixed into their attacks and power. They had thousands of ways to use it. They were truly poisonous creatures. Their poison could even defeat opponents several times stronger than them. For example, the Devil Blue Emperor's poison could probably scare the six Sea Emperors and the fifteen Dragon Emperor.
Chen Xingyao stepped into the Devil Blue Palace.
The Devil Blue Palace was pitch-black. Chen Xingyao moved forward carefully. Finally, he reached a black sea. When he got close, his skin turned pale. He had to use reincarnation power to protect himself.
He took out something from the God Nation. It was thousands of blue crystals. They were filled with great power. Light flowed, and there seemed to be a sea beast swimming in them.
These were the blue crystals of the Sea Race.
Every Sea Race member had a blue crystal. It was the core of their life. Once the blue crystal was taken, they would die.
"Madam, the blue crystals are here."
As soon as he said that, the depths of the black sea region rumbled. The seawater surged, sending Chen Xingyao flying. In that instant, a huge black snake head emerged from the seawater and swallowed the thousands of blue crystals in one gulp.
Chen Xingyao retreated a distance and looked inside worriedly.
"Impudent!"
