Chapter 753 - 431: Sovereign of the World! The Great Venerable atop Purple Mist Cliff
As the afterglow of Phoenix Cry Island and Flood Dragon Demon Court completely dissipated, stepping over the ruins of two top forces, Zheng Yi, a new True Cultivator of the East Origin Sea Region, ascended the stage of history.
He was like an ancient beast overshadowing the sun, moon, and stars, casting everything under its shadow. Until his ultimate purpose and nature were clear, all the forces in the East Origin Sea Region trembled in fear beneath his shadow.
Zheng Yi returned again, directly disrupting the fragile balance of the entire East Origin Sea Region. His purpose in hosting the Divinity Transformation celebration was, on one hand, to proclaim his presence to the whole world.
The might of the Human Emperor, commanding the entire East Sea, was now beyond question.
Even the ancient beings of the Divinity Transformation Tier must either submit to his rule or flee, minimizing their presence as much as possible.
On the other hand, what Zheng Yi intended to do next was such that even several Gold-devouring Beasts wouldn’t suffice. By hosting the Divinity Transformation celebration, he could also seize the opportunity to reap substantial profits.
As the affairs of the world go, once Zheng Yi eradicated the two strongest forces one by one, the strength he displayed was already dominating the entire East Sea, exerting influence throughout the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm. Every word and deed of his became a truth everyone must heed.
Three months later, the Divinity Transformation celebration opened.
Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage, gathering in the East Sea to celebrate Zheng Yi achieved a perfect effect, while Zheng Yi made a huge fortune from it.
A year later, Suspended Island returned to its original territory, and Zheng Yi immediately used Divine Power to pull up the seabed, forming a three-thousand-meter-high mountain where Suspended Island settled, named "Purple Mist Cliff"!
This Purple Mist Cliff undoubtedly became the core of the entire East Origin Sea Region. Leaders from various major forces, as well as the strongest beings of the region, flocked here to pay homage.
No need for Zheng Yi to plot much, his strength reached a level where even Divinity Transformation Powerhouses had to join him. Even if he didn’t intend to reign over the East Sea, countless forces and powerhouses would push for this to happen behind the scenes.
After all, his prestige had reached its peak, representing not only his personal glory but the collective of interests of numerous forces under his command.
The so-called Yellow Robe Ascension was by no means a mere pipe dream.
Countless powerhouses bowed at Zheng Yi’s feet, rapidly forming alliances and consolidating forces under the banner of Azure waves Island, gradually consuming the entire power structure of the East Sea.
This was an unimaginable force, enough to astonish the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
Even large forces like the Sea God Alliance were only small parts of it, with the Human Race Spirit Island forces led by Carefree Island, Outer Sea forces dominated by the Sea God Alliance, and communities formed by ancient races. These major forces checked and balanced each other while jointly developing new potentials, becoming the main advancing force under Zheng Yi’s Azure waves Island.
Zheng Yi was content with this, for he cared little about the power struggles below. Cultivators defy the heavens, seizing the creations of heaven and earth to nurture themselves, gathering Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth within one body, the strength always lies with the individual.
No matter how much those below gain, he, as the Master of the East Sea, is undoubtedly the greatest beneficiary.
Undoubtedly, wanting or not wanting, East Sea’s Purple Mist Cliff and Azure waves Island had already become names renowned throughout the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
Representing the highest peak of Path of Cultivation in the East Origin Sea Region.
And he, Isle Master Azure waves Zheng Yi, sat securely as the absolute king perched upon the highest summit.
The most esteemed Supreme Great Venerable.
...
Zheng Yi never had major demands or thoughts concerning power; no absolute authority can compare to the gathering of rules of the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth within one body.
How could a Divine Dragon soaring above the Nine Heavens ever compete for power with earthworms and loaches in the water below?!
Both look at different skies, naturally their pursuits differ.
His reason for reconstructing Azure waves Island primarily was to manage the manpower of the East Origin Sea Region, using the vast potentials of major forces to drive this gigantic machine forward, hoping to obtain abundant resources through the power of many.
Since stepping onto the Cultivation path, Zheng Yi had consistently pursued the supreme level, seeking a stronger independent existence.
If still a mortal, one would endure life, death, suffering, and disease; however, the Path of Cultivation is the only path to evolve the body from an ant into a Divine Dragon.
Ephemerals cannot know heaven and earth; summer insects cannot speak of ice. Only by breaking one’s limitations can one leap beyond the frog-in-a-well perspective, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, even to four-dimensional, leap to higher dimensions, roam the Cosmos, and live as long as heaven and earth.
This is the ultimate path Zheng Yi seeks.
In a sense, he is truly the kind of Seeker wholeheartedly dedicated to the dao.
The difficulty of Immortal Dao, is to seek above and below.
"The East Origin Sea Region, as one of the nine Great Spirit Realms of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, with the oldest origin, its historical source is absolutely no less than the Central Spirit Realm. Moreover, the ocean is a treasure, its level far exceeds that of the Doomsday World; the resources it nurtures are naturally more precious and abundant."
At this moment, while everyone outside revered him, the Purple Mist Cliff Azure waves Island Lord Zheng Yi, whose head but not tail could be seen, sat cross-legged in the great hall, counting those important resources one by one, finding indeed many good things among them.
Especially the things brought back from the treasure vaults of Phoenix Cry Island and Flood Dragon Demon Court, among which were several Top Grade items even Zheng Yi with his high standards had only heard of, never seen before.
