Chapter 237 The Origin of the Endless Sea

Elder Yu looked sad, with tears in his eyes.

Du Fang was very surprised. He didn't understand why the old man was so sad at his age. He just asked:

"Elder, why are there tear marks in your eyes?"

Bai Zhi immediately pulled his hand and signaled him not to ask.

Elder Yu's face was filled with sadness:

"They are all dead. My son is dead, my grandson is dead, and I am the only one left. Living in this world is so boring!"

Du Fang bit his lip, hating himself for saying that:

There were more than a thousand disciples in the Iron Fan Sect, most of whom were surnamed Yu. Now only one in ten is left. This old man had a son, and his grandson was killed by Yuan Ying, a powerful ghost clan member.

When a loved one passes away, it is natural to feel sad.

Du Fang did not dare to respond, fearing that a word would bring up his sorrow again. To see a loved one die is the most tragic thing in the world.

Asking one more question would just add salt to his wounds.

Elder Yu lamented again, "It's a pity that as an elder of the Iron Fan Sect, I have no choice but to bear this heavy burden as the disciples of the sect are dwindling!"

Du Fang said silently:

"Don't worry, Elder. The disaster was caused by me. Lingxiao disciple Du Fang will definitely not stand idly by. I will definitely avenge this blood feud. The ghost clan's Nine Realms Yuanying escaped today because my sword was not strong enough. Wait until I retrieve the Chengying Divine Sword, enter the Realm Sea, kill the ghost clan's powerful one, and bring back the Iron Fan Sect's young master!"

Elder Yu bowed:

"On behalf of the deceased heroic spirit, I would like to express my gratitude to you, sir!"

Du Fang hurriedly helped him up, and Elder Yu put away his grief.

"Now, only one in ten of the Iron Fan Sect members have been killed. Less than a hundred are still alive. The highest-ranking person still alive is me!"

"Yu'er is the Sect Master's only beloved son. If he hadn't died, he would have naturally taken over the position of the Iron Fan Sect Master. Alas, he was captured and taken to the Sea of ​​Realms. For thousands of years, even the peak Nine Realms experts have gone there and never returned."

He kept shaking his head. This matter seemed extremely slim. Even though Du Fang had shown that he was an immortal with magical powers, the old man did not believe that he alone could bring people back from the sea.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Is Jinghai... really that terrifying?"

Elder Yu gave a bitter laugh and said, "You two have come all the way from Nancangzhou, so naturally you don't know what's going on. The Iron Fan Sect and the Spirit Ghost Clan have been battling for over seven hundred years, and in the end, they had to build this Great Wall of Steel for defense."

"You two don't know the origin of this endless sea!"

"I don't know!"

Elder Yu looked towards the north and stared for a long time, as if recalling the past:

"This period of history must be very long ago. Ever since the Great Desolation was shattered, the world was divided into nine divine continents. This Endless Sea was formed at that time, bordering Zhengyang Continent, Taiyuan Continent, and Qinglu Continent."

Du Fang asked doubtfully:

"How can the three great divine continents, surrounded by each other, have no edge and be called the Endless Sea?"

"Because to the west of this sea, there is no land, only emptiness. The three great divine continents only surround a small half of it. The Realm Sea is in the very center of this endless sea."

Baizhi and Du Fang opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg, as if they had heard a fairy tale.

"Can there be another sea within the sea?"

"Is there another sea within the seabed?"

Elder Yu, however, seemed quite calm and didn't look surprised at all.

"Yes, the Endless Sea is also called the Boundless Sea. They, the Spirit and Ghost tribes, call the sea surface a mirror. The areas with waves, unlike lenses, they call the areas without mirrors, also called the Boundless Sea. The forbidden area in the center is called the Boundary Sea..."

"When you reach the center of the sea, you'll see a patch of calm water without any waves. That's the Daojing Sea, where the spirit and ghost tribes live."

"How big is this sea?"

Du Fang asked immediately, he was very concerned about this place.

"I don't know!" Elder Yu shook his head and immediately said, "No one knows. Those who knew are already dead."

Du Fang bit his lip and lowered his head in thought. It seemed that at the moment, he could only look for it himself.

He was completely clueless about the spirit and ghost tribes, and knew nothing about them. Before going, he had to find out their strengths:

"Then how well do you know the strength of the Spirit and Ghost tribes, Elder? How many people are there like Yuan Ying?"

Elder Yu smiled:

"How could there be so many masters of this level? The legendary twin pillars of the sea, Guimie and Yuanying. Guimie is a person who has truly reached the pinnacle of the ninth realm. And who knows how many others are at the peak of the eighth realm, at the same level as the sect master!"

"What about the spirit race? This race seems to be very small, and they are usually mentioned together with the ghost race?"

Du Fang had seen the powerful spirits.

The two sisters named Xiangxiang are almost at the peak of the eighth realm. What's more terrifying is that in the lake of Quzhou City, the women of the spirit race are offering sacrifices to some god, and how terrifying the god's power is. He doesn't know, but what kind of messenger is there who came to take the offerings?

The majestic and vast power emanating at that time was more terrifying than any powerful person he had ever seen.

Even though Du Fang has reached the ninth realm now, his heart trembles just thinking of that aura.

Unexpectedly, Elder Yu suddenly shook his head:

"This race is indeed very small, and we don't know their strength. There is no record of them in the ancient books of the Iron Fan Sect!"

"Has the Iron Fan Sect been fighting the ghost clan for the past seven hundred years?" Du Fang was very confused. Logically, after fighting for hundreds of years, they should be very clear about it.

A trace of fear suddenly appeared on Elder Yu's face, and after a long while he said:

"Among the powerful warriors who came to the Iron Fan Gate today, there is a Ringwraith, a powerful warrior from the Eldar race. We can't see him, but I can smell his breath."

Hearing this, Du Fang suddenly thought of that woman again, the woman who was collecting bone jade and summoning the Pillar of Creation at the edge of Quzhou City.

When I was following that woman, she was like this, disappearing and hiding.

"What are the Ringwraiths?"

"do not know!"

Elder Yu still shook his head: "I have smelled the breath of the Ringwraiths, but I have never seen them take action. Moreover, when the Sect Master was here, he once said that there are very few people in the Spirit Clan, but every one of them is born to be able to rival the eighth level of human cultivators!"

Bai Zhi suddenly took a breath of cold air:

"how is this possible?"

Elder Yu smiled bitterly:

"When I first heard this news, I also thought it was impossible. However, the Sect Master had fought against the Ringwraiths before and knew many of the Eldar's secrets. Unfortunately... he... died for his sect..."

"This secret is absolutely secret!"

Bai Zhi suddenly asked the difficult question that troubled her:

"In the legends of our Nancang Continent, this sea of ​​​​realms has always been inhabited by the three tribes of spirits, ghosts, and demons. Why did the elders never mention the demon tribe?"

Du Fang immediately thought of the five-clawed golden dragon.

They, mother and son, are powerful beings of the demon race.

"The demon clan's great demon, the Ancestral Witch, is located east of the Boundary Sea. Deep within the Endless Sea lies a ten-thousand-foot-deep rift that splits the Boundary Sea in two. They aren't very close to the Spirit and Ghost clans. Furthermore, east of the Boundary Sea lies the territory of the Tiannan Sword Sect and the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and have virtually no connection to the Iron Fan Sect!"
