Chapter 2643: The Land of Tiannan

"S-senior... just now... I was rude earlier." Huang Haoyan said, his face pale.

The combat prowess Ye Yuan had displayed filled him with terror.

Thinking back on how they had acted arrogantly in front of him, he felt as if they had been courting death.

Ye Yuan naturally couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He said indifferently, "Where is this place?"

Huang Haoyan quickly replied, "This is the Jihan Sea."

Ye Yuan frowned. "The Jihan Sea? How far is it from the Five Radiance Heavenly Domain?"

He had never heard this name before. Ye Yuan only knew that the Yuqing Continent was vast, and the five heavenly domains did not cover it entirely.

The edge of the Yuqing Continent was an endless sea.

These seas were forbidden zones for the continent's powerhouses.

For in the sea, there were countless powerful beings!

Even a Saint Emperor Heaven could not cross the sea by individual strength alone.

Because within the sea, there existed beings comparable to Saint Emperor Heaven, or even more terrifying.

He had never expected that, by a twist of fate, he had ended up on the sea!

He just didn't know where this sea was located relative to the Five Radiance Heavenly Domain, nor how far it was.

Ye Yuan was deeply concerned about the situation in the Five Radiance Heavenly Domain. Although he knew that Feng Xuanyi and the black-robed elder had little chance of survival, he wouldn't give up until he had news.

But on this vast sea, where could he go to inquire?

"Five Radiance Heavenly Domain? That's the Central Plains, at least decades of travel from here! Moreover, there's the Myriad Demon Mountain in between! Senior, are you really from the Five Radiance Heavenly Domain?" Huang Haoyan asked in surprise.

The Myriad Demon Mountain was home to countless great demons!

There were plenty of true spirits at the Jade Emperor Heaven level.

Huang Haoyan found it hard to imagine how Ye Yuan had come from the Five Radiance Heavenly Domain to here.

Although he had single-handedly repelled the fish-man army, he couldn't possibly be a match for a Non-ultimate Heaven, let alone a true spirit at the Jade Emperor Heaven level.

Ye Yuan became even more mysterious in their eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan felt his head swell.

Decades of travel—that was too far!

At his current pace, covering over a hundred thousand li a day was routine.

Decades of travel meant distances in the billions!

Without answering Huang Haoyan's question, Ye Yuan continued, "Judging by your clothes, you don't look like fishermen. Could it be that the land you live on doesn't belong to the five heavenly domains?"

Huang Haoyan nodded. "The five heavenly domains occupy eighty percent of the Yuqing Continent, but our Tiannan Land happens to be part of the remaining twenty percent. Oh, I heard from my father that you people call our Tiannan Land the Southern Barbarian Land. We are all from Dingnan City, the southernmost city of Tiannan."

Mentioning the Southern Barbarian Land, Ye Yuan did have some recollection.

While at the Wuding Heavenly Sect, he had naturally read many classics, including records of the Southern Barbarian Land.

There was even a legend that Zhuo Bufan's disappearance was because he had set out to sea from the Southern Barbarian Land and never returned!

However, this claim seemed untenable to many.

After all, there were far too many powerhouses in the sea.

Nevertheless, the five heavenly domains were separated from here by the Myriad Demon Mountain, so records were scarce.

Ye Yuan knew of the Myriad Demon Mountain.

Within that mountain, there were countless true spirits; true spirits at the Jade Emperor Heaven level were probably more numerous than humans.

It was said that there were even true spirits at the Saint Emperor Heaven level.

Thus, no force dared to attack the Myriad Demon Mountain.

Even Jade Emperor Heaven powerhouses dared not easily cross the Myriad Demon Mountain.

Only those who had reached the Saint Emperor Heaven level could suppress the great demons there.

He hadn't expected that drifting through the void would send him so far, directly dropping him onto the sea.

Coming here wasn't entirely bad.

At least, he wouldn't be hunted by the Alchemy Alliance.

But the problem was, he wanted revenge, yet he couldn't go back for now.

With his current strength, he simply couldn't cross the Myriad Demon Mountain.

Would he really have to cultivate to the Saint Emperor Heaven level before he could return?

By then, he wouldn't fear the Alchemy Alliance, but how much longer would that take?

While drifting through the void, Ye Yuan had thought of many ways to take revenge.

He firmly believed that if he stayed in the shadows, he could inflict heavy losses on the Alchemy Alliance!

But now, none of that was useful.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression shift, with anger flickering in his eyes, Huang Haoyan dared not even breathe.

Finally, Ye Yuan let out a long sigh. "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. Take me to Dingnan City!"

Huang Haoyan was taken aback. "Senior wants to go to Dingnan City?"

"What, is there a problem?" Ye Yuan countered.

Huang Haoyan quickly shook his head. "No, no, of course not! If Senior wants to go, we naturally welcome you."

He couldn't afford to offend Ye Yuan, so he hastily agreed.

Along the way, Ye Yuan asked many more questions about the situation in Tiannan Land.

Dingnan City was a major city in the south, with considerable strength.

Because the Celestial powerhouses here often encountered invasions from true spirit sea tribes.

Here, there was no distinction between ascendants and local forces.

As long as one was strong enough, one could survive; no one discriminated against you for being an ascendant.

Ye Yuan understood this.

Because the sea tribes were too powerful!

The number of true spirit sea tribes was astronomical.

Even if they used sheer numbers, the pressure on the land races was immense.

Both local forces and ascendants had to face the threat of the sea tribes, so they had to unite against a common enemy.

Although the sea was rich in resources, living conditions were not as good as on land.

Thus, during every tide, the true spirit sea tribes would ride the currents and attack cities.

Their purpose was nothing more than to plunder human resources and treasures.

Moreover, the true spirit sea tribes were bloodthirsty, slaughtering wherever they went.

Therefore, the Celestial powerhouses of the land races were irreconcilably opposed to the sea tribes.

Still, the vast sea was an excellent place for training.

Thus, powerhouses from various races often formed teams to venture into the sea, both to seek treasures and to train.

Huang Haoyan's group had come precisely for training.

They just hadn't expected to stir up such a big commotion.

"Logically, since you only stole some treasures, the fish-man tribe shouldn't have been so relentless in pursuing you. Did you steal something extraordinary?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.

Huang Haoyan shook his head. "There were many good things, but nothing too amazing!"

Ye Yuan said, "Let me see!"

Huang Haoyan dared not disobey. They brought out all the treasures they had obtained, covering nearly half the deck.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

These guys really knew how to cause trouble!

Having stolen so many treasures, it was no wonder the other party had gone berserk!

Fortunately, the fish-man tribe wasn't very strong; he could barely handle them.

If a Non-ultimate Heaven powerhouse had come, Ye Yuan would have fled on his own.

After inspecting them, Ye Yuan didn't find anything particularly unusual.

However, there were a few items he found quite remarkable.

Among them, a conch-like object caught his attention.
