Chapter 1985

Inside Whale Fishing Boat, Xia clan’s Gu Immortals are furious and helpless. One mourns the sacrifice of Xia Ying and the others. Wu Shuai’s side is splitting up their fortune. First supreme elder Xia Rui Zhi vows to get help from Eastern Sea’s righteous path. He says the copy they kept of the battle scene is the best evidence against the variant humans. ^{ch. 1985}

Xia clan lies in the easternmost area of Eastern Sea. The Merman Imperial Court is to its west, Tang clan to the southeast and Xie clan to the northeast. They rule out all three, since the court’s mermen are variant humans and the other two clans are in conflict with them in normal times. They instead carefully pass the court in Whale Fishing Boat to seek help from Shen clan, further west, on a much longer journey. ^{ch. 1985}

Meanwhile the news that Gu Immortals of the two heavens invaded Xia clan spreads like wildfire in treasure yellow heaven. Shen clan has already received the letter requesting help. Its first supreme elder, Shen Cong Sheng, calls all the Gu Immortals to a meeting. ^{ch. 1985}

Some argue that Shen clan should not face such a strong foe alone, since Wu Shuai has Dragon Palace, Di Zang Sheng and a relationship with Fang Yuan. Others say that refusing would draw accusations of inaction. Shen Cong Sheng agrees with both views and shows no change of expression, having secretly cooperated with Fang Yuan during the blue dragon whale trip. He adds that even with Ancestor Shen Shang the clan could not resist, and Shen Shang went missing after going insane, the clan’s search for him unsuccessful. Shen clan must help, yet it feels very wary against the allied forces of two heavens. ^{ch. 1985}

Ren Xiu Ping, the external supreme elder, proposes a plan. He says Wu Shuai has very high strength, but Eastern Sea has another ancestor capable of resisting the Evil Dragon, Qi Sea Ancestor. Shen Cong Sheng decides on the spot to follow it. When Xia clan arrives, he says Shen clan has too little strength, and he suggests that they ask Qi Sea Ancestor to uphold justice. Shen Cong Sheng copies Xia clan’s pressure tactic, publishing the news in treasure yellow heaven before the request is made, so the whole world turns its attention to qi sea. ^{ch. 1985}

Human Gu Immortals hope Qi Sea Ancestor will lead them as the senior rank eight who resisted Duke Long on equal footing. Many are pessimistic, since he is a secluded cultivator who once worked with Fang Yuan. His response is rapid. He announces in treasure yellow heaven that variant humans with ulterior motives will not bear roots on human soil, after Primordial Origin and now Qi Sea. The world resounds with praise, hailing him as truly incredible. ^{ch. 1985}
