Chapter 1573: Chapter 1572: Watch Closely—Don’t Miss This!

[Seeking rewards!]

Boundless and endless Sea Domain!

There stands an Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture, enduring countless ages, eternally untarnished, unwavering. This Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture stretches tens of thousands of meters long and stands as tall. It is a nest of the Roc, a place where part of the Roc’s bloodline has awakened, a nest likely holding a shocking world inheritance.

Nine stone pillars rise into the sky, standing resolutely in this Sea Domain, encircling the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture. Ye Tianchen sits cross-legged on the tallest of these pillars. When his Divine achieved a mystical realm, he beheld a figure, a figure that shocked him profoundly, even causing his Soul to tremble — the figure of a shocking world roc!

When the figure of this shocking world roc landed on the shortest stone pillar, it did not transform into human form but slowly evolved a Divine Skill. Ye Tianchen could not discern what kind of Divine Skill it was; he only felt that each movement of the roc carried an earth-shattering Taoist Rhythm, as if its actions were intertwined with Taoism!

Ye Tianchen was astounded, experiencing such a shocking feeling for the first time. He understood well that this roc figure was not substantial; perhaps it was the imprint left by a roc when it practiced Martial Arts, comprehended Taoist Rhythm, and created Martial Arts Divine Skill here. Now, only with his Divine at a mystical state could Ye Tianchen see the rocs’ past imprints. However, what baffled Ye Tianchen was why, given its power to dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and swallow the universe’s Heavenly Vault, it did not take human form. Instead, it used the roc’s body to evolve a Taoist Rhythm on the shortest stone pillar. This indeed made Ye Tianchen feel strange and surprised!

Who would have known!

Even as Ye Tianchen bore enormous pressure, feeling his very being about to shatter, even his Divine was greatly disturbed, he wanted to muster all his strength to keep watching, to see what kind of Divine Skill the roc was evolving, hoping to receive some guidance, thereby understanding the roc’s Divine Arts. This would be an immense opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Ye Tianchen was determined to persist and was surely going to watch the roc’s movements on the pillar until the end.

Unexpectedly, just as the roc was evolving its movements on the shortest pillar, it suddenly turned, its eyes meeting Ye Tianchen’s gaze. At once, Ye Tianchen felt his blood and energy surging uncontrollably within him, his Divine severely damaged, and he passed out!

Unaware of the passage of time, when Ye Tianchen slowly opened his eyes, he had already awoken from that mystical state. Looking around, there was still no sign of any other creatures; all that remained was the calm, ripple-less ocean, which left Ye Tianchen momentarily stunned. What had happened?

Recalling the events, Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. He remembered the roc figure he had seen in that mystical state, the moment it turned its gaze toward him, its eyes seemingly piercing the Heavenly Vault, seeing through everything. Under the scrutiny of the roc’s eyes, nothing could hide. It was this gaze that caused Ye Tianchen to faint and awaken from that mystical state!

”Such a powerful aura; it’s a pity I fainted under the roc’s gaze...”

Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but talk to himself. He felt deep regret, thinking that if he could persist and clearly see what kind of divine skills this Roc was evolving, perhaps even seize a fragment of the Taoist rhythm of the Roc’s evolution, the harvest would be unimaginable. After all, this was a Roc that had awakened the bloodline of the Immortal Roc; its every movement could potentially be linked to the mysteries of the Immortal Domain, causing anyone who saw it to be overwhelmingly excited!

”This Roc is too powerful, not even real, but just in that strange state, I saw an imprint of its figure left behind from the past. It looked towards my direction just now, not at me, but at the highest stone pillar, and I merely came into the periphery of its sight, causing me to faint. It’s too strong, so strong that it’s almost difficult to even look up to!” Ye Tianchen mused internally.

Having regained his senses, Ye Tianchen was both surprised and shaken, yet he was also firmly resolved that he must once again enter that wonderful state, to see clearly what exactly this Roc had left on these nine stone pillars in the past, and what kind of divine skills it had evolved. This could be something he reaps benefits from for a lifetime. As one can imagine, the Roc’s silhouette that Ye Tianchen saw was merely a manifestation of the Roc that had once lingered on these stone pillars or perhaps evolved some divine skills. This was just a spectral illusion, yet it caused Ye Tianchen substantial harm; if this Roc were to actually appear in the world, even if it wasn’t the Great Dominator of the Martial Arts World, it would definitely not be subordinate to any man!

According to the fish monster, there are only three days left before the Immortal Roc Nest Array here will start to show cracks and signs of opening. However, another day and night have passed with only two days and nights remaining, and Ye Tianchen still hasn’t found any being appearing in this sea domain. The entire sea domain seems immensely quiet, which makes him frown and also startled. The more peaceful it is now, the more he feels that when this Immortal Roc Nest Array becomes unstable after three days, there could be unimaginable storms, and countless powerful beings will appear. Merely within this sea domain, countless powerful species will arrive, and even some powerful inheritances from the three major Ancient Martial Worlds are eyeing eagerly, ready to use their resources to escort their powerful inheritors here to compete for the Immortal Roc Inheritance!

The Son of Sea God is the first name Ye Tianchen heard in this sea domain. As for how powerful the Son of Sea God is, Ye Tianchen isn’t clear, but he certainly doesn’t underestimate it. From the two fish monsters, Ye Tianchen imagined that even if the Son of Sea God isn’t the most powerful being in this sea domain, he is close to it. To have defeated Wang Luanxiang, who was holding the ”Red Cloud Treasure Mirror,” in three moves, almost taking Wang Luanxiang’s life, can one say the Son of Sea God isn’t strong enough? And according to what the released fish monster finally said, the Son of Sea God ingested an inner core left by the Sea God and is in seclusion refining it. What does this indicate? It indicates that the Son of Sea God is determined to acquire the Immortal Roc Nest’s inheritance and wants to become even stronger before the Immortal Roc Nest opens, ensuring he captures the Immortal Roc Inheritance without fail.

It’s easy to imagine that in this vast sea domain, larger than the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, there wouldn’t be only the Son of Sea God’s species. Clearly impossible, there must be numerous powerful species in the sea domain, with even more powerful beings, possibly even more than the three major Ancient Martial Worlds. It’s just that in different fields, few are aware. Since the Son of Sea God wishes to enhance his strength before the Immortal Roc Nest Array opens to outmatch all contenders for the Immortal Roc Inheritance, couldn’t the other powerful species in the sea domain think of this? Many will think of it and are poised to act!

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Tianchen perched upon the highest stone pillar. To say there is no pressure would be impossible. The calmer it is now, the more he feels that a storm is imminent, breaking this calm sea domain. For Ye Tianchen, this is both a trial and an opportunity. With such an opportunity before him, there’s no reason not to fight for it!

”Only two days left. I must see what kind of divine skills the Roc evolved on these nine stone pillars!”

Ye Tianchen solidified his resolve, ignoring his injuries, slowly allowing his divine essence to sink into a wondrous state once more. After an unknown amount of time, he gradually saw the Roc’s silhouette on the stone pillar again, still evolving a divine skill on the shortest stone pillar. However, its movements were very slow, every gesture extremely calm, showing no slightest force fluctuation, as if moving mysteriously without any undulation of power. Yet, Ye Tianchen did not underestimate this because what his eyes saw was not just the superficial power but a kind of Taoist rhythm. This Roc’s every action carried an immensely powerful Taoist rhythm, which left him deeply shaken.

It’s known that the cultivation of martial artists focuses on the ”Tao”, and the ultimate in martial arts is to cultivate this ”Tao” to its peak, reaching the Martial Arts Peak, truly touching the ”Great Tao”. The higher the cultivation realm of a martial artist, the more profound the Taoist rhythm they can feel, with their mental realm and everything they perceive being completely different, a realm that makes people look up to. However, to be like this Roc, where each gesture is connected with a ”Taoist rhythm”, integrating its body and mind with the ”Great Tao”, such manifestation transcends simple force description; it signifies a supreme realm!

Buzz!

The Roc turned its head again, looking towards Ye Tianchen. That glance from the Roc’s divine eyes swept over Ye Tianchen, making him feel a jolt within his soul, with a sensation of spurting blood and fainting. He immediately mobilized the martial arts true power within him, igniting this force in determination, for if he faints again and again without ever seeing the Roc’s divine skill evolution on the nine stone pillars, it would all be for naught!
