Free Web NovelChapter 568: Chapter 287: Isle Master Azure waves, Master of Divine Techniques (Part 2)
As the most ruthless head of a Great Pirate Gang, he suddenly defected to join the ranks of Azure waves Island, becoming part of its outer circle of influence. This move is truly intriguing.
"Damn it, love at first sight, willingly defecting..."
Many people’s faces twitched upon hearing this, gritting their teeth.
Since when did Core Formation Cultivators become so worthless?
Just a glance and you become someone else’s subordinate?
"Why don’t you just say the Isle Master Azure waves is an unparalleled beauty, and Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng was smitten at first sight, falling in love, and kneeling at her skirt would be more reasonable..."
Many others only felt their teeth aching, desperate to vent in their hearts.
A number of astute individuals faintly sensed that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, perhaps the ’Double-headed Flood Dragon’ Zhong Sheng had pledged allegiance to this mysterious Isle Master Azure waves long ago.
Otherwise, today’s bizarre events could not be explained.
It couldn’t possibly be that Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng suddenly realized he didn’t want to be a pirate and suddenly decided to be someone else’s dog.
From this speculation, it can be seen that this Isle Master Azure waves is truly extraordinary, undoubtedly a Top-Grade Golden Core Cultivator.
The ability to subdue the notorious old pirate head, the infamous Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, is proof enough of the underlying strength.
...
After experiencing the event with Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, the entire Azure waves Island undoubtedly became even more bustling.
In the days that followed, a large number of pirate gangs and commerce associations sent delegates to extend their congratulations, turning the surrounding sea regions into extremely lively areas.
It is apparent that, no matter where, strength is always the most important means of earning others’ respect.
The Core Formation celebration was naturally very lively.
Spanning both righteous and demonic factions.
Aside from important members of the Thirty-Six Islands.
Numerous high-ranking figures from pirate gangs and commerce associations also came to pay their respects to the Isle Master Azure waves.
For a time, Azure waves Island had many more allies and partners.
...
Initially, Zheng Yi only intended to use ’Double-headed Flood Dragon’ Zhong Sheng as a covert piece on the chessboard.
However, after he stepped into the Ninth Grade Golden Core,
his mindset shifted partly.
Great power belongs to oneself.
The Heavenly Dao acts without mercy, treating all things as straw dogs.
Upper Three Grades Golden Core Cultivators are fundamentally different from other Core Formation Cultivators.
Not only in combat strength but also in their understanding of the Rules of Heaven and Earth.
Especially the elusive Ninth Grade Golden Core throughout history, even more so.
Only when Zheng Yi completely entered the Ninth Grade Golden Core did he truly understand that saying.
Swallow a Golden Core, and my fate is mine, not heaven’s.
From then on, his Dao was free and unrestrained, the heavens couldn’t block his vision, and the earth couldn’t bury his heart. Everything would manifest according to his desires, and the Daoist Techniques were natural.
Azure waves Island’s reputation was still too low.
Therefore, Zheng Yi directly presented this trump card to intimidate other forces.
And to demonstrate to the outside world the current strength and foundation of Azure waves Island, making many future matters easier, and reducing much trouble invisibly at the same time.
After all, in this vast Sea Realm, becoming a founder of a major force gives one the qualification to step onto the chessboard and become a true player.
As for relations with the Sunset Commerce Association, they were kept concealed.
After all, compared to pirate groups.
Zheng Yi prized the interests on the commerce association’s routes more.
In this sea region,
besides pirate groups, the Thirty Islands, and some Independent Cultivator Islands,
the most crucial neutral force is the major commerce associations.
Sunset Commerce Association is the stake Zheng Yi planted in the Neutral Region.
No one knows when it will play a crucial role.
Now, the relationship between Azure waves Island and the Sunset Commerce Association just needs to be maintained privately, there’s no need to announce it publicly; it can completely be reserved as a trump card.
At this Core Formation Conference on Azure waves Island, they officially subdued the renowned pirate Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, and the displayed strength was already quite formidable.
A duo Core Formation.
Although Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng is a Lower Three Grades Void Core Cultivator, he’s an old-timer Core Formation Cultivator who has traversed the vast seas for many years.
Ruthless methods, uncommon combat strength.
This mysterious Isle Master Azure waves, Zheng Yi, in the eyes of the public, is even more enigmatic and unfathomable.
Silently subdued the great pirate head at Core Formation Stage, then united the Seven Great Pirate Groups, binding them into a cohesive unit, presiding over the Azure wave Sea Region, completing a reshuffle process.
Even began to charge navigation fees.
This isn’t just washing clear and coming ashore; it’s thoroughly establishing a maritime empire.
Generally, only such top-tier conglomerates, possessing formidable deterrent power to ensure the safety of maritime routes, have the possibility of charging navigation fees—a privilege that usually belongs to the Ocean Empire.
With the current territorial range of Azure waves Island, it’s enough to intimidate most pirate gangs, urging them to avoid the Azure waves Island sea region, ensuring the safety of Zhang Yi’s territorial waters.
An Upper Three Grades Golden Core Cultivator indeed has this formidable deterrent power.
Moreover, outsiders fundamentally couldn’t figure out what grade of Golden Core Zheng Yi possessed.
But at the time of that world-shaking Tribulation Crossing Thunder event, the tribulation aura spread nearly a thousand miles in range, under the shroud of Celestial Tribulation energy, outsiders, even with Qi Observation Skill and such Secret Techniques, couldn’t discern the true visage within.
Yet that terrifying fluctuation still spread sensationally.
Rumors had even spread in the outside world.
The tribulation Zheng Yi crossed was not a Seventh Grade Golden Core but an Eighth Grade Golden Core Tribulation, unseen for five hundred years in the East Origin Sea Region.
This naturally shrouded Zheng Yi, the Isle Master of Azure waves, with an even more profound aura of mystery.
An Eighth Grade Golden Core, with transcendent reach.
Let alone the Nascent Soul Realm; even the legendary Divinity Transformation Stage might carry a sliver of hope.
The higher the Golden Core Grade, the stronger the power.
Measuring with just Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage of Core Formation becomes too simplistic.
Without Zheng Yi personally taking action, no one knows his depths.
But the ease with which he subdued the unruly, old-timer Core Formation great pirate head, Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, speaks volumes of his deep plans and strong methods.
Zheng Yi also enjoys people’s speculations, placing himself on equal footing without having to reveal everything.
Otherwise, if the power is showcased too strongly, it may draw the wariness from other Great Pirate Gangs and the Thirty-Six Islands both.
At that time, if both sides isolate Azure waves Island, it would not be conducive to development.
Moreover, though his methods are strong, it’s only been a year since he crossed the Golden Core Tribulation, Zheng Yi also needs more time to stabilize his own realm, not needing to stir the sun and moon in the Sea Realm for so-called false reputation.
The days ahead are long, gradually accumulating the foundation.
Gather grain extensively, build strong walls, proclaim kingship slowly.
This nine-word maxim is a prudent strategy.
...
The Azure waves Island Core Formation celebration concluded amidst the clamor.
All matters subsequently settled down.
Taking this opportunity to secure the territorial range and thoroughly establish the name.
Even after the Core Formation Ceremony, a supposed slogan began to circulate.
Isle Master Azure waves, long life and prosperity.
Life as long as the heavens, vast divine techniques.
Azure waves Island seized the entire sea regions originally belonging to the Seven Great Pirate Gangs, along with forces from three to four pirate gangs previously obliterated, all encompassed in, occupying a vast area.
Completely becoming the uncontested overlord in this newly named Azure wave Sea Region.
...
The external situation gradually calmed, but the sea regions around Azure waves Island became even more lively.
The laws that Zheng Yi had implemented originally, have been running smoothly in this sea area.
Now, under the Azure waves Island’s command, pirate groups are less than thirty percent of what they were at their peak, the rest having become provisions for Zheng Yi crossing the Heart Demon Tribulation, but in turn, they have all become elite troops.
These people, after undergoing the baptism of Zheng Yi’s Celestial Demon Seed, are utterly loyal to Zheng Yi, the Master of Celestial Demons, and are uniformly classified as his own people.
Nowadays, there are no blatant pirates in the Azure waves Island sea region, only the official organization of Azure waves Island.
Azure waves Island marine patrol and Law Enforcement Team.
Under the strong orders of Azure waves Island and the brutal and bloody suppression, no other pirate groups dared to defy laws and come to this sea region to raid.
Most merchant ships, due to this newly developed maritime route, have been considerably more stabilized.
They are also warmly welcomed.
