In the near-ancient era, a hundred schools of thought contended.

Successively, the mythical era, the immortal era, and so on, were born, and then gradually destroyed.

At the end of the near-ancient era, the world was in great chaos. The places of unrest were not only at the sea borders.

The Diaolong Ke displayed terrifying power, approaching transcendence. Alone, with a single rod, he fished for dragons at the edge of the sky, successively killing two Dragon Clan imperial lords and blocking the sea clan’s large-scale invasion. For the human race, he re-solidified the sea borders, winning time.

This is an indelible splendor on the page of the sea borders in the great chapter of the entire near-ancient era’s end.

His legend did not end with the near-ancient era, but in the Dao Calendar that began afterward, it continued for nearly a hundred years.

In the period when the Dao Calendar was just beginning, the Diaolong Ke always sat fishing at the Tianya Tai, one rod, one line, one hook, specifically fishing for the Dragon Clan. With no transcendent beings emerging, he had no rivals to contend with! He killed to the point that in these nearly hundred years, the Dragon Clan dared not enter the Mijie.

It wasn’t until the ninety-seventh year of the Dao Calendar that Haiyan Fuhai, the sea clan’s legendary wise teacher from the East of the Cang Hai, came to engage him in a life-and-death struggle. Only then did the battle become smoke and clouds.

But the curtain of legend in the eyes of others was just the storybook he himself wrote.

The details of that battle were known only to the Diaolong Ke himself and the already dead and vanished Fuhai — if he didn’t have the strength to kill Fuhai, how could he dare to fish dragons year after year, forcing Fuhai to come out? And why did Fuhai wait ninety-seven years, waiting until he thought he had made full preparations before acting?

Fuhai fundamentally did not step forward for the great righteousness of the sea clan, to fight to the death with him, the strongest under transcendence, in an era where transcendent beings were inactive. Instead, he was forced out by his day-after-day dragon fishing, having no choice but to appear!

For nearly a hundred years, the Dragon Clan dared not enter the Mijie. The Dragon Clan hiding in the Suopo Longyu and Donghai Longgong also dared not come out. If this continued further, the Dragon Clan’s status in the sea clan would be difficult to guarantee.

Of course, Fuhai was undoubtedly a strong figure, similarly an existence approaching transcendence.

Although he forced him out for a life-and-death battle, he did not completely achieve victory. After killing Fuhai, he himself also suffered heavy injuries. His Dao body was unstable, and his Dao path was obstructed. He simply faked death to escape, slowly plotting the possibility of transcendence.

The world all thought he had died, but actually he had not.

He transformed into stone, healing himself, waiting for an opportunity for transcendence. He waited for three thousand eight hundred twenty-five years.

In this world, there are inevitably some smart people.

For example, when Yangguo perished and Qiguo rose, the reason why this ambitious Qi Tiandi did not forcibly unify the nearby seas, and always retained some flexibility in the oppression against Diaohailou, was not without apprehension towards him, the ancestor of Diaohailou. He was apprehensive about the possibility of him not being dead, and this was confirmed before this Mijie great war.

For example, Wanzu, who suppressed the Yongye Xuanwo, still had to specifically let Taiyong personally come to Huaidao after eliminating all hidden dangers, to do the final confirmation. For supporting the race’s leap and proving transcendence in one go, Wanzu can be said to have calculated everything known.

And the importance of Wanzu to the sea clan was clearly indicated when the Haihuang’s true form first evolved towards the divine soul level. This is an existence no less than that year’s Fuhai, even somewhat surpassing him.

If he could fish out this Dragon Monarch, one reason is to fulfill his self-obsession and satisfy the title of ‘Diaolong’, which is also a form of cultivation. The second is to cut off the sea clan’s possibility of leaping, and also as a rich resource, capable of helping him towards transcendence.

This is the first time the Diaolong Ke has made a move after three thousand eight hundred twenty-five years.

But this is actually not his first time trying to fish Wanzu.

Wei Xun twice set up schemes, wanting to lure Wanzu into a trap. The Diaolong Ke observed from the side both times.

The first time, Wei Xun first casually used the human race prodigy Jiang Wang as a move, wanting to attract Wanzu’s attention, but Wanzu remained silent. Wei Xun then relied on divination and occasional divine abilities, making the sea clan prodigy take risks, but Wanzu was still silent. Finally, using the safety of the Xuewang as a lure, Wanzu remained silent, and the Xuewang Yuxin Zhou saw the situation was not good and escaped in time.

The second time, Wei Xun still started with the ‘wind rises from the end of green duckweed’ layout, finding Wanzu’s position. He invited several Zhenjun and jointly ventured deep into the Cang Hai, cutting off Wanzu’s dragon horn and leaving. But Wanzu did not pursue, still lying at the bottom of the sea, not moving. Wei Xun chopped off a section of dragon horn and only obtained a section of dragon horn.

Until this time, the sea clan’s overall leap came to the most critical moment. Wanzu…

Indeed, he would only act truly when he was sure of success. The Diaolong Ke also waited until this moment to cast the hook.

In Gao Ji’s terrifying scale eye, the vertical pupil represented by the crossing red lines was precisely pierced at the crossing point by a crescent line.

Having plotted for a long time, the Diaolong Ke knew Gao Ji’s terror very well. But as the saying goes, if Gao Ji was not strong enough, not terrifying enough, how could he help him leap out of the absolute peak and step into transcendence?

‘Wherever there is water flow, Gao Ji knows everything, and with full knowledge comes full ability.’

Whatever Gao Ji sees, he can discern the truth. Whoever sees Gao Ji must recognize Gao Ji’s Dao.

His power, on one hand, is in the ‘full knowledge’ from the inside out, and on the other hand, in the ‘full belief’ from the outside in.

This belief is believing, recognizing. Recognizing can produce power; this kind of power is akin to faith power.

Recognizing Gao Ji’s Dao will bring power to Gao Ji.

Buddhas still need to preach, revered gods still need incense, while Gao Ji’s terrifying ability only needs to be seen.

Whether it is ‘full knowledge’ or ‘full belief,’ grasping one makes one a top strong figure. Gao Ji grasps both, making him ancient and modern hard to find. It is no wonder he can have the ambition to support the race’s leap and even push it step by step to success.

Of course, Gao Ji’s ‘full knowledge’ is not complete.

The so-called ‘full knowledge’ is a great power. One could even say, among the great powers, it is one of the top two.

But in this world, how can true ‘full knowledge’ exist? The past has infinite secrets, and the future has infinite possibilities.

Even beings as great as transcendent ones have existences sitting at the same chess table playing against them.

How can transcendent beings, who can even know everything about themselves, fully know another transcendent being?

Gao Ji’s power, a more accurate description, should be… ‘broad hearing’!

It is a power ‘approaching full knowledge,’ ‘striving to approach full knowledge.’

To understand Gao Ji’s greatness, one can start from the three hearings of the three Buddhas’ faith, the broad hearing bell. If the Diaolong Ke has not judged wrong, the current high priest of Muguo, Tu Hu, also walks this path.

With the vision of the Diaolong Ke, who was the strongest under transcendence three thousand eight hundred years ago, he naturally understood that contending with Gao Ji meant he could not hold steady.

So he probed multiple times, but absolutely did not move lightly.

So when he didn’t act, he didn’t act, but once he succeeded, he fundamentally did not hold back, directly lifting the rod!

Thousands of years of waiting, only striving for one instant. What he seeks for transcendence is in this instant.

He sat at the Tianya Tai with blood rain floating, holding the fishing rod without reservation.

At this moment, the bright moon was like a hook, pulling up Gao Ji’s terrifying true body. Wei Xun’s death-formed fishing line was pulled straight in the terrifying confrontation.

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

Continuously snapping and continuously connecting. Rumbling, rumbling!

The foundation of the great mountain range stretching ten thousand li at the bottom of the sea was shaken.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

The Yongye Xuanwo, long suppressed by Gao Ji, instantly! As soon as Gao Ji’s dragon body lifted a gap, the terrifying suction was released towards the entire sea domain.

On the sea surface, a vortex with a radius of several thousand zhang had already appeared and was still continuously expanding. It ground the seawater, including everything within it, without mercy.

The ‘Anying Haicheng,’ which had been calm for nearly a thousand years, had its sea level suddenly drop by more than ten zhang!

Before Gao Ji moved his body here, this was one of the most adverse sea domains in the Cang Hai. After Gao Ji moved his body here, it became an extremely rare treasure land in the Cang Hai. Over the span of a thousand years, it was always calm, even widely named ‘Anying’ by the sea clan.

How many mothers struggled to come to this domain, just to let their children be born here.

Now, fishing dragons at Tianya Tai, now the sea domain will overturn!

As one of the most prosperous sea domains in the Cang Hai today, if ‘Anying Haicheng’ overturns, the casualties are fundamentally incalculable.

But at this moment, Gao Ji fundamentally could not attend to the Anying Haicheng anymore. Every scale eye of his was hooked. At this moment, he just realized that while he watched every sea clan, and through these sea clans watched all sea domains, there was also someone through these sea clans, silently

watching him!

This person has an incomparable understanding of the Dragon Clan, this person has an extreme obsession with ‘fishing dragons’, and this person also possesses the strongest strength!

Huaidao is broken, and Diaohailou will collapse. The deaths of countless sect cultivators from Diaohailou, from Zhenjun Wei Xun downwards… all were endured unexpectedly, all were in this fishing.

Then, being fished up himself, he truly had no complaint.

This was a contest unfair from the beginning. He schemed for the entire leap of the sea clan, while the Diaolong Ke schemed for him, Gao Ji. Although he was at the bottom of the sea, he was in the open. The Diaolong Ke sat alone on the high platform, yet was in the dark.

Ultimately, a single move differed!

The great leap involving the entire sea clan just pauses at this moment. Those sea clan members who were only one step away from breaking through the barrier remain static in the state of ‘only one step away’. Gurgle, gurgle.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Shuiying Dizang looked up at the high vault moon, feeling an indescribable fear. Even with the power of a Zhenwang and the heart of a Zhenwang, it was hard to bear.

The Diaolong Ke actually used a single bright moon as the ‘heaven’ for the entire Mijie, temporarily setting the chaotic domain!

Thus, there were up and down, thus, directions were divided. Thus, rules began to clarify…

This was a power he fundamentally could not imagine! And the leap involving the entire race was actually abruptly stopped!

He did not have the ability to penetrate the Mijie and watch the Anying Haicheng, but it was not hard to guess a little of what was happening from the Dao principle fishing line hanging down from that curved moon.

Could it be that an existence as great as His Majesty Gao Ji would actually be intercepted before that key step?

And at this moment, he still heard water sounds.

Where did the water sounds come from?

This domain outside the Donghai Longgong was clearly empty!

Shuiying Dizang’s heart was unsettled. He suddenly thought of that sunken ship. He then forcibly withdrew his gaze from that curved moon and in an instant scanned the entire domain. Indeed, he saw the wreckage of the warship, already completely disassembled and drifting in different directions.

Among them, a part of the fragmented ship boards, still carrying some blessing aura, indeed fell into a transverse river. The water sounds came from there.

This river was extremely clear; one could see through from one side to the other, with no secrets in between.

Shuiying Dizang let out a breath… but immediately was shocked again! What about that armor?

What about Qi Xiao’s corpse!?

He should be lying on the deck, that smile imprinted in blood and dirt, appeared in his mind again.

There was no time to think more. The feathers behind his spine suddenly unfolded, and his form turned into an afterimage. In an extremely short time, he walked through the entire domain, and what he saw was empty!

With Shuiying Dizang’s eyesight, he was actually completely unable to find any traces.

He was certain that even if Qi Xiao was not thoroughly dead, even if that auspicious armor still had some profound mystery, with his state, he absolutely could not have escaped far. Now, chasing would certainly catch up!

Among the three boundary rivers, he chose the most likely direction. Turning his feet, he had already stepped out of the boundary river—

But suddenly, his eyes went black! No.

Not only did his eyes go black, he fell into a completely lightless environment!

Feathers swelled like hanging clouds, claws curved like iron hooks. Flowing wind like arrows, his exhaled breath was cold.

He instantly manifested the Haihuang’s true form, and was sinking in a piece of void…

Into whose trap!?

Zhong Xi originally thought he had imprisoned the Jiyou boundary domain as a prison, using an entire boundary domain as a trap to temporarily seal Cao Ji and the other human race experts who had derived their Dao, and the great army they commanded. In fact, this was for clearing away hidden dangers for His Majesty Gao Ji, and simultaneously encircling the main force of the human race in this great war.

Wait until the sea clan’s overall leap was complete, and His Majesty Gao Ji took that key step, then he could naturally leisurely catch these turtles in the trap!

Even if this was a new era where the myriad races had covenanted and transcendent beings could not act, before completing the covenant, even before truly achieving transcendence, it was enough time for His Majesty Gao Ji to do many things.

For example, pinch several Zhenjun to death, for example, wipe out the entire Jiyou boundary domain…

The wounds suffered by the Suopo Longyu could be completely

wiped flat in one step.

So even with the death of Taiyong, the defeat of the Tianfo Si, and the disadvantage of the Suopo Longzhang against the Chaocang Wujian, this war could still yield huge victory fruits.

This was exactly why they, several imperial lords, were willing to shed their original Dao principles and exhaust their lives here!

But this perfect victory fruit had one most crucial step, entrusted in His Majesty Gao Ji’s key step.

But His Majesty Gao Ji’s key step was actually delayed, not stepped out!

Zhong Xi’s huge Dao body almost propped up the Suopo Longyu, and he looked up at the Dao principle fishing line of that curved moon, seeing the terrifying power entangled on it—

The Diaolong Ke was colliding with His Majesty Gao Ji!

The unfortunately hooked His Majesty Gao Ji was being fished out of the Cang Hai by this curved moon!

He understood very clearly that the Diaolong Ke fundamentally did not need to fish Gao Ji’s dragon body to the Tianya Tai; he just needed to fish him out of the Cang Hai.

Once His Majesty Gao Ji left the water, life and death would immediately be decided!

“Break the fishing line!” He accelerated the burning of original Dao principles, roaring with fear and anger.

There was no need for him to speak.

The Hongmei Huangzhu Xiyang had already liberated his own power, escaped from that sky curtain, and was directly crashing the curved moon with his fierce sun, personally meeting the hook!

A single rod of iron spear instantly swelled to become a pillar propping up the heavens, incomparably firmly crashing into the heaven and earth seal prison. Yuejie, in his old armor, boldly entered the heavenly river, going straight towards the boundary outside!

In Yu Liyang’s spring wind, white fireworks quietly bloomed, like pear blossoms blooming everywhere. Originally, under that purple fate grid killing technique, the spring wind had already declined, but at this moment it greatly flourished!

Zhu Sui lifted his lamp to the high heavens, and Yu Liyang also surged towards the boundary river.

And Cao Ji, who had been idle for a long time, signaling to let the sea clan have ‘grand ambitions empty,’ had already swayed and stood at the top of Taiyi Shan, standing side by side with Pengchong Jian, watching the indifferent eyes of the Xuan Shen Huangzhu, who represented the highest divine spirit of this boundary, and clashed with Dao principles on the spot!

If they didn’t move, they didn’t move, but once they moved, they fought with their lives!

Now was the most critical moment, and the great army also began to act.

“Marquis Wu An, you take command of the army!”

As soon as Cao Ji’s order was given, Jiang Wang immediately stepped forward, shouldering the responsibility, turned back, and said: “Whole army—”

At this moment, he just discovered that Zhu Biqiong, who had always been following at his side, had a pale face, shaking all over like chaff, as if seriously ill, and both her eyes were blank and spiritless, actually falling backward!

“Biqiong!?”
