Chapter 696 – Ocean Palace’s Secret

Zi Ji looked at Yun Che’s reaction and slowly continued, “It is completely normal that you have not heard of this name Even if it is the other three Sacred Grounds aside from Supreme Ocean Palace, there are very few people who know about it”

“Then where is it? Senior Zi mentioned just now that it is not located in Profound Sky Continent, what does that htened his eyebrows and asked

Zi Ji extended his finger and pointed directly to the south, “It is located to the south of Profound Sky Continent, above the endless Southern Ocean”

“Southern Ocean?” Yun Che looked surprised

“Have you ever been to Supreme Ocean Palace?” asked Zi Ji

“No,” Yun Che said “”But I know that Supreme Ocean Palace is located one thousand five hundred kiloe of Profound Sky Continent, above the Southern Ocean” That here the nahter Devil Nest that Senior Zi said be related to Suprehtly “Everyone spread the news and all knew that the Four Great Sacred Grounds each have their guardian responsibility They guarded the safety of the Profound Sky Continent for tens of thousands of years, thus being bestoith the divine name of ‘Sacred Grounds’ However, out of the Four Great Sacred Grounds, only Supreuardian hter Devil Nest’ is the place that Supreenerations?” Yun Che asked

Zi Ji nodded his head once again “Supreme Ocean Palace is one thousand five hundred kiloe of the continent Not only do they need to be prepared for oceanic disasters all the time, there are also a lot of inconveniences everyday But Supreme Ocean Palace has existed for tens of thousands of years and have never hter Devil Nest”

“What kind of existence is the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest exactly? Why would Supreme Ocean Palace do whatever it takes to stay at Southern Ocean and guard it? And this name…” As he listened to Zi Ji’s description, more and more questions piled up in Yun Che’s hts, and continued to say, “I can only give you the sihter Devil Nest About o, when seven ancestors of Supre Southern Ocean, they suddenly found a large area of ocean water that was dyed black The pitch-black ocean region was very wide, and there were countless corpses of oceanic beasts of the same color After that, they found the center of this pitch-black ocean region… which was an island that was completely dyed black

“That island released an extree ocean region such as that becaion After that, the ancestors of Ocean Palace cae cave on the island That terrifying yin energy came from within that dark cave When they entered the cave, the deeper they went, the heavier the yin energy becareatly suppressed In the deepest recesses of this cave, they encountered an inco dark profound beast”

“Dark profound beast?” Yun Che felt more bizarre the more he heard about it

“That dark profound beast called itself the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign It hates light and is especially afraid of theis known about it The strength and aura of that dark profound beast isn’t very strong; it should be around the early stage Tyrant Profound Realth of all seven of Suprehts Each of then Profound Realm and stood at the summit However, within that cavern’s depths, their profound strength had been suppressed down to the Ehter Devil Sovereign, they could not retaliate at all Out of the seven ancestors, only one escaped The other six ancestors had all lost their lives in the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest

“After the sole survivor escaped out of the cave, the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign didn’t give chase It was afraid of the daylight’s radiance and the night’s n would perhaps never leave its nest However, the dark yin energy the nest released was endless, and when that Ocean Palace ancestor finally et out, he personally heard the roars of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign It said, ‘The tied in darkness is the day when it would con… such a htened If it wasn’t Zi Ji telling him this personally, he would’ve just treated it as some story a random person fabricated “After that, did the Ocean Palace ancestor use soy fro?”

“Hehe, that is correct” Zi Ji looked at Yun Che with adinated fro unknown source that exists deep within the nest However, if it continually spread without anything keeping it in check, there would be a day when it would reach the Profound Sky Continent, and the consequences would be unthinkable The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign’s roar also never allowed that Ocean Palace ancestor to be at ease Thus, he combined the power of all the experts of the Ocean Palace and unhesitantly sacrificed est profound artifacts and a large amount of Purple Veined Divine Crystals to construct an enorhter Devil Nest, coy

“Because the barrier consuy, every three years they need at least a dozen Monarchs to input profound energy to maintain it Because of this, the ancestors of the Ocean Palace ed their name to the ‘Supreme Ocean Palace’”

“…I see”

Because of his hostility towards Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and how much he despised Sun Moon Divine Hall, Yun Che already didn’t have any good feelings towards the Four Great Sacred Grounds and even thought of the Zi Ji’s description of Supreme Ocean Palace made hihty Heavenly Sword Region and Sun Moon Divine Hall, a

Supreme Ocean Palace like this really didn’t tarnish the reputation of the “Sacred Grounds”

Thinking back to that Ji Qianrou froly deht In the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament, he was the first person who had spoken up for him, a person he had never spoke to before He ruthlessly , and because of a shan in the Primordial Profound Ark It could’ve even been said that he had saved his and Feng Xue’er’s lives

“Senior Zi mentioned just now that that place can only be entered once every five hundred years It was discovered one thousand three hundred years ago and could still be found there… Could it be that the barrier was deliberately left behind in a place where one could enter?” Yun Che asked

“This hat I was about to say next,” Zi Ji s had been revealed, he didn’t really have any worries left “The Ocean Palace ancestor guessed that the dark yin energy can, and no matter hoerful a profound beast, it would still one day reach the end of its lifespan In that case, upon the death of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, the dark yin energy in the sealed Moon Slaughter Devil Nest would naturally disperse The guardian mission would then thereby be accomplished, and Supreme Ocean Palace could break away from the Southern Ocean from then on

“In order to easily confirn was dead or alive, the Ocean Palace ancestor left a gap on the barrier, but set it so that it would open once every five hundred years Moreover, in order to prevent the leakage of the y, he also restricted the time it could be opened: only a hundred breaths! Since then, every five hundred years, Supreme Ocean Palace would dispatch disciples of the worst aptitude to enter and confirn Since the start of six thousand and five hundred years ago, the disciples that entered had all cahter Devil Sovereign is already dead now”

“Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign is already dead, yet Supreuard… This n has died, the dark yin energy is still spreading… The dark yin energy isn’t actually fron?” Yun Che said with sunken brows

“Correct,” Zi Ji heavily nodded “If the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign leaves the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, that isThe true terror is the endless yin energy which is co from an unknown source Supre that area and maintain that barrier once every three years And to this day, it has already been a full ten thousand years
