The series of strange phenomena that had appeared one after another had already drawn the attention of the entire Martial Cultivation World and all the powerful factions within it.
Even some powerful beings who had no desire to be known by the outside world were now watching the situation unfolding over the Immortal Sea Star River.
If the earlier moving white light and the red lotus that had bloomed from the Immortal Sea Star River had been astonishing enough, then when this new phenomenon appeared over the Immortal Sea Star River, the previous two were nothing but appetizers.
The sheer scale of this phenomenon was vast — it didn't merely cover the Immortal Sea Star River.
The Immortal Sea Star River, though formed from the convergence of countless worlds, had the shape of a river. But this new phenomenon took the form of an ocean of light that swallowed the entire Immortal Sea Star River within it.
This phenomenon was so enormous that one didn't even need special means to see it — merely gazing up at the starry sky with the naked eye was enough.
It shook the hearts of all who witnessed it.
People could even hear the roaring of crashing waves across the vast expanse of stars, as if a true, boundless ocean had descended into the endless starry void.
Except what surged within that ocean wasn't small fish and shrimp — it was world after world.
"Wow, this phenomenon is just too absurd."
"Chu Feng — it must be that little girl Xiao Yu'er, right?"
"Isn't it?"
Eggy asked Chu Feng, because even she couldn't be certain. Xiao Yu'er had triggered phenomena before, but they had been different from what was happening now.
"It's hard to say, but I hope it's Yu'er," Chu Feng said.
At the same time, within the Formation World above the Immortal Star Domain, all of the experts were staring intently at the phenomenon.
"The Immortal Sea Fish Clan," Jie Tianran blurted out, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Hall Master of the Seven Realms, is this a phenomenon triggered by the Immortal Sea Fish Clan?"
"Could the rumors be true?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Kongxu and the group of experts from the Prison Sect all turned to look at Jie Tianran. They had all heard some of the rumors concerning the Immortal Sea Fish Clan as well.
The position of overlord among the various Star Rivers had been contested throughout history in one form or another — with the sole exception of the Immortal Sea Star River, where the Immortal Sea Fish Clan had firmly held dominion since the very dawn of the era.
It was rumored that the Immortal Sea Fish Clan was a demon clan that had existed since ancient times, though in bygone ages they had been nothing more than an obscure, insignificant race — and naturally, they hadn't been called by their current name.
In the early days of the era, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan had encountered an extraordinarily miraculous golden sea within the Immortal Sea Star River. It was said that the golden sea was breathtakingly radiant, as though something that had fallen from the realm of the gods — a cultivation holy ground rarely seen in all the world.
That golden sea was known as the Immortal Sea.
The Immortal Sea Fish Clan cultivated within it, refining every last drop of the Immortal Sea's power until the sea had completely dried up.
But in the process, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan underwent a bloodline transformation and gained tremendous power.
In gratitude for this extraordinary fortune, they not only designated the site of the Immortal Sea as their ancestral land and sealed it off permanently, they also renamed themselves the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.
From that point on, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan began their long dominion over the Immortal Sea Star River. Generation after generation of powerful experts rose to prominence — figures whose names echoed throughout the history of the Martial Cultivation World, too many to count.
Though they had never claimed the title of the strongest in the entire Martial Cultivation World, they had never once been weak, either.
But it was precisely because of this legend that so many people harbored deep longing for the ancestral land of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan. Countless individuals had attempted to breach it over the years, and while most had failed — many losing their lives in the process — there had always been those who succeeded.
Yet the news that emerged from those who had made it in was deeply disappointing. The ancestral land of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan turned out to be nothing more than an endless, barren pit — not a trace of residual power remained.
Now, all the experts from the Prison Sect were looking at Jie Tianran because of a particular rumor: the Seven Realms Sacred Palace was said to be one of the factions that had successfully entered the ancestral land of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.
"It must be the Immortal Sea Fish Clan."
