Wu Shattered Star River

Although Zulong Sea is called a sea, it is not large, only about ten ice lakes in size, roughly occupying a ten thousand mile radius.

Zulong Sea is very deep, with the deepest part being tens of thousands of miles deep. At its deepest point, there is a huge opening from which the demonic creatures emerge.

The Central Region does not seal this opening because sealing it is of little use. The demonic creatures constantly bombard it, and the seal would quickly be broken.

The Central Region seals the entire Zulong Sea and has built many large formations within it. For example, a massive seal was constructed, sealing the entire Zulong Sea.

Another example is the construction of an ice-cold formation, where emerging demonic creatures are assailed by the cold, greatly reducing their speed. A water dragon formation was also built, where the seawater of Zulong Sea constantly transforms into water dragons to attack, ensuring that the emerging demonic creatures are perpetually under assault.

Although many large formations have been built, the Central Region needs to station a large army and powerful individuals here year-round. When the demonic creatures within Zulong Sea gather in excess, the Grand Elder personally leads a team to clear them out, preventing the seal from being broken.

To suppress Zulong Sea, the Central Region sees countless cultivators die in battle each year, and maintaining the formations requires massive resources.

Therefore, for so many years, the Central Region has been unable to unify the four regions because Zulong Sea has tied down too many troops and consumed too many resources and powerful individuals.

Of course!

Because of the existence of Zulong Sea, the Central Region constantly organizes cultivators to clear it out. This is the most dangerous training ground. As long as one can survive inside, the Central Region will provide a large amount of resources for cultivation, and combat strength will be greatly improved.

So, because of Zulong Sea, the Central Region has produced many strong individuals, many of whom possess extremely powerful killing abilities, so it can be considered to have both advantages and disadvantages.

A large city called Zulong City has been built on the northern side of Zulong Sea.

The buildings in this city are all military camps, with only a few palaces. This place was originally a military camp, but later, due to the large number of troops and powerful individuals stationed here year-round, it gradually became a large city.

Tens of millions of troops are stationed here year-round, and the troops that can be stationed here are not ordinary soldiers but soldiers with a certain level of cultivation and combat power.

These soldiers may not be able to defeat the demonic creatures one-on-one, but three or four of them working together can contend with a demonic creature.

The Great Emperor of the Central Region, Cang Ri Tian, is currently residing in the most luxurious palace in the city. The Grand Elder and Second Elder are not in the palace but are above Zulong Sea, observing the operation of that super formation.

This super formation was built by Cang Ri Tian over several years. The entire formation is built on the sea and in the central area.

This formation constantly shines with light. Each time, the formation lights up with beams of light that soar into the sky, and any demonic creatures that approach are teleported away.

Naturally, Cang Ri Tian did not dare to be careless with such an important formation, so he had the Grand Elder and Second Elder stationed next to the formation, guarding it at all times to prevent it from being attacked and destroyed by powerful enemies.

"Shasha shasha!"

Outside the palace, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and then five elders rushed in. The Fourth Elder of the Tianlin Clan shouted at Cang Ri Tian as soon as he entered: "Your Majesty, something has happened! Feng Hua and Rui Yangming have rebelled. Ten Dao Ancestor Realm experts from the two clans, along with hundreds of Saint Sovereigns, are currently attacking Tianlin Mountain. The Third Elder has activated the Lin Tian Formation and is urgently requesting our assistance."

Upon hearing the news, Cang Ri Tian's expression did not change at all.

He appears to be middle-aged, wearing a black emperor's robe, with icy cold eyes. He is not tall, but sitting there, he resembles a coiled dragon, making people's hearts tremble at a single glance.

"What madness has possessed Feng Hua and Rui Yangming?"

Cang Ri Tian did not rush to mobilize experts to provide support but instead asked: "Has anything happened to their clans recently? Have you ever bullied their clans?"

The five elders exchanged glances, and in the end, they dared not hide anything, as Cang Ri Tian could easily investigate.

The Fourth Elder bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a matter. More than two years ago, a few unfilial disciples went out to play and happened to encounter some descendants of Feng Hua and Rui Yangming."

"They probably took a fancy to some princesses from their clans, causing some disputes, and in the end, they killed several grandsons and princesses of the Feng and Rui clans..."

"Hmm?"

Cang Ri Tian's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, and his body exuded a strong chill. He angrily said: "Why was such a big matter not reported?"

Cang Ri Tian's anger caused the temperature of the entire palace to drop by dozens of degrees. The five elders were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The Fourth Elder gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, at that time, you were deploying formations at a critical moment, so we did not disturb you."

"We reported to the Grand Elder at the time, and the Grand Elder severely punished those unfilial descendants, even killing one of them. The Third Elder personally went to appease the two clans. We didn't expect that the two clans still harbored dissatisfaction and actually rebelled directly. This is simply outrageous!"

Cang Ri Tian's eyes flickered, and he asked: "Are those unfilial descendants descendants of mine? Did they rape and kill the princesses of the Feng and Rui clans?"

The Fourth Elder said with a wry smile: "It was two imperial grandsons leading a few princes. They... did indeed go a bit too far. However, the Grand Elder has already severely punished them, imprisoning them all for ten thousand years and sending a large amount of resources to the two clans."

"Bang!"

Cang Ri Tian was furious and slapped a nearby table, instantly turning the entire table into powder.

Under his great anger, the five elders could no longer withstand it and knelt down, shouting: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"How many times have I said it!"

Cang Ri Tian said angrily: "Everything in excess is as bad as being deficient. Extremes beget reversals. I told you to strictly discipline the disciples of the clan. Is this how you discipline them?"

"Such indulgence will only make the descendants of the clan more and more unrestrained and will eventually force all the major clans in the Central Region to rebel!"

"Your Majesty!"

The Fourth Elder bowed and said: "In the future, we will definitely strictly discipline them. Now, Feng Hua and Rui Yangming are attacking Tianqi Mountain, and many of our clansmen are being slaughtered. Please order to suppress the rebellion and rescue our clansmen."

"Hmph!"

Cang Ri Tian snorted coldly and said: "Let Cang Huang lead the team with ten Dao Ancestor Realm experts. Since the Feng and Rui clans dare to rebel, then there is no need to be polite. All the clansmen of the two clans must be annihilated as a warning to others."

"Yes, sir!"

The Fourth Elder quickly accepted the order and left with the other elders.

Cang Ri Tian's eyes flickered, with a hint of surprise, and he muttered: "Feng Hua and Rui Yangming are rebelling at this time? What is the point of their rebellion? Apart from slaughtering some ordinary civilians, how much impact can it have? This matter... is strange!"

"Cang Lu!"

Cang Ri Tian shouted, and a Saint Sovereign flashed out, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty!"

Cang Ri Tian ordered: "Let the Intelligence Division move and monitor the entire Central Region, focusing on investigating the vicinity of Zulong Sea. Also, send a message to the Grand Elder and tell him to be vigilant. If there is any disturbance, protect the formation first. Also... send a message to Tong Shan, tell him to stop playing dead and come to Zulong Sea!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Saint Sovereign flashed away. Cang Ri Tian looked outside with a gloomy gaze and said: "Hmph, Yao Ao... I hope you are not behind this, otherwise, I will make you regret it!"
