Chapter 277 Secrets of the Sea
"My senior master summoned me here, presumably for the coronation ceremony of the Holy Son?" Bai Ke guessed.
Ning Fengyi nodded, then affectionately pulled Bai Ke in front of her and asked:
"You should be familiar with the customs of the Holy Son Ceremony, right?"
"Of course I know. At that time, Huangya Mountain and Qianfo Temple will send a delegation to attend the ceremony, and they will also send their current generation of sect successors to accompany the delegation and have a 'friendly exchange' with me."
“That’s right. The successors of the Desolate Cliff Mountain and the Thousand Buddha Temple were both born five years ago. The Holy Son of my Tian Ce Palace appeared later, so you are a bit younger than them. Are you confident that you can ‘communicate’ with them?”
"When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it. For the sake of Tian Ce Palace's reputation, I will never back down."
Ning Fengyi nodded in satisfaction, gently patted Bai Ke's shoulder, and said in a slightly strange tone:
"However, this situation is somewhat special. Envoys and successors from the sea will also be sent to my Tian Ce Palace to observe the ceremony."
"The Sea Region? Which sect is sending an envoy and their successor here?" Bai Ke asked curiously. In his memory, the Sea Region had always been a chaotic place where various warlords fought for control.
There has never been a truly dominant sect there, so no sect has ever been able to achieve the grand feat of unifying the sea.
Ning Fengyi noticed Bai Ke's confusion and gave him an enigmatic smile, saying, "It's the Tide Gate. You've probably never heard of it. But now that you've ascended to the position of Holy Son, you should know something about the sea."
Then, Ning Fengyi began to tell Bai Ke the secrets of the sea...
The sea is vast and boundless, containing thirty-six large islands and countless smaller ones. Its area and the number of sects are the largest in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and its cultivators are renowned for their array formations.
The sea has always been perceived as a place of warring factions and constant conflict. Various sects in the sea have fought fiercely over the ownership of the thirty-six islands, which has led to a constant change of island lords.
But in reality, there are thirty-seven large islands in the sea. And on that unknown thirty-seventh island, an ancient and powerful sect has been hiding! They are the true behind-the-scenes overlords of the sea.
The Tide Gate had dominated the entire sea area long before the Nirvana Era, but due to some unavoidable reasons, they had to use a heaven-defying formation to forcibly move the largest island in the center of the thirty-seven islands to the seabed.
From then on, the Tide Sect went into complete seclusion.
At this point, Ning Fengyi fell silent, calmly awaiting Bai Ke's reaction.
After hearing the story, Bai Ke showed a hint of surprise. However, he still had deep doubts—if the Tide Sect had already gone into seclusion, why would they send an envoy and their successor to Tian Ce Palace to attend the ceremony this time?
"Are you wondering why the Tide Sect, which has always been in seclusion, would suddenly come to our sect to attend the ceremony?" Ning Fengyi asked with a smile.
Bai Ke nodded, looking like he was listening attentively.
"Well, the reason for this involves a higher level. This is a secret that only the Supreme Elders and above in the leading sects of the four regions of Heavenly Desolation and Earthly Sea are qualified to know! Do you want to know?"
After asking her question, Ning Fengyi turned her gaze to Bai Yan. Bai Yan, who had previously remained indifferent, was now moved. He said to Ning Fengyi in a deep voice:
"Senior brother, my son is still young, inexperienced, and naive. It's probably not appropriate for him to know these things so early!"
"My junior nephew Bai Ke has reached the Nascent Soul Realm at the young age of eighteen, and has easily ascended to the position of Holy Son with his superb skills. Such talent is extremely rare even in the Mountain and Sea Realm. I think he is now qualified to know those things."
After Ning Fengyi finished speaking, she looked at Bai Ke with great interest and asked softly, "What do you think?"
Faced with Ning Fengyi's blatant probing, Bai Ke's mind began to race.
Is the ultimate plot of this world finally about to unfold? Ha, I've just overcome one hurdle, and now I'm about to face another test...
"I think the sect leader is right! Father, I've grown up. I want to know more things. I don't want to disgrace the title of Holy Son of Tian Ce. I want to share the burden of the sect!" Bai Ke replied with righteous indignation.
Are you kidding me! If I stay holed up in my sect, dealing with these small fry every day, how am I supposed to quickly improve my strength? How am I supposed to dominate the Mountain and Sea Realm? How am I supposed to achieve my goal of sleeping with a thousand women every night?!
Hmph, only by knowing more information can a more magnificent new story unfold, and only then can I have the opportunity to leave Tian Ce Palace and go to a wider world to make my mark.
Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly!
What kind of so-called destined protagonist is this? Bring it on, I'll wipe them all out with one kick each!
Legendary beauties of heaven are throwing themselves at me, but I'll take them all in one hand!
Under the protection of Tian Ce Palace, I have overcome my initial period of weakness and have already gained some strength. Now, only by escaping this "newbie village" can I begin my adventure and leveling-up journey!
"Good! My nephew has such lofty ambitions, I admire you!" Ning Fengyi patted Bai Ke on the back and praised him loudly.
Even with Bai Ke's powerful physique, which could withstand attacks from the Nascent Soul Realm, he was still forced to cough by the force of the blow.
"Ahem, thank you... thank you for the praise, Master Uncle. Please tell me the secret quickly! Ahem."
"Haha, I'm sorry, junior disciple. I was just too happy and didn't control my strength. Please forgive me."
Ning Fengyi laughed loudly. In fact, he was also secretly shocked: What kind of body-refining technique did this kid cultivate? How come his physical body is so tough? My physical body, which was tempered by two calamities and seven tribulations in the late stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm, was actually shaken painfully by the spontaneous counter-force of his physical body.
He then naturally pulled the hand that had been slapping him back and rubbed it, enduring the pain while maintaining a smile as he said:
"Then I'll begin, hiss..."
As Ning Fengyi was speaking, she suddenly felt a burning pain erupt from the hand that was already aching behind her, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
But in his heart, he was cursing: "Damn! This kid is too weird. His physical recoil has a layer of hidden force in it?"
"Senior brother, what's wrong? Why are you yelling?" Bai Yan asked bluntly.
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. My throat is just a little dry, I'm just calling out to moisten it," Ning Fengyi explained with a forced smile.
Bai Ke, standing to the side, noticed something amiss and realized that this must be his own doing, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Ning Fengyi, unaware of what was happening, continued to speak of the secret.
To understand why the Tide Gate suddenly appeared, we must go back to a very, very long time ago…
