Even if Han Fei and the others were together, they didn’t disturb each other in cultivation.
Han Fei pretended to enter a cultivation state, but in fact, he was immersed in his thoughts. After sealing his soul, he asked the old turtle, “Okay, tell me what you want to say!”
The old turtle immediately said, “I know a little about the East Sea Divine Realm. My original body is sealed in the Godfiend Sea, not far from the Chaotic Wasteland.”
Han Fei said, “The Godfiend Sea? It doesn’t sound like a good place. It’s probably no better than the Chaotic Wasteland. Tell me, how far is the Godfiend Sea from the Chaotic Wasteland?”
The old turtle said, “Not far, not far. The Godfiend Sea and the Chaotic Wasteland are adjacent. No wonder I was summoned there by you. It turns out that we are next door.”!!
Han Fei was lost for words. “Who’s next door to you? We’re separated by the entire Chaotic Wasteland. However, since your sealed place is next to the Chaotic Wasteland, you should know the surrounding environment, right? The first thing I’ll do is not to find your original body. You’ve waited for so many years. Why don’t you wait a few more years? Wait for me to settle down in this Chaotic Wasteland first.”
“Huh? You want to settle down in the Chaotic Wasteland? This is not a good place. The border of the East Sea Divine Realm, the Chaotic Wasteland, the Godfiend Sea, and the Infinite Mining Area are all better than this place. My suggestion is that you can go directly to the Divine Capital Dynasty that is the most prosperous.”
Han Fei said leisurely, “If I don’t solve the An family and protect the Raging Sea first, how can I go to the Divine Capital Dynasty?”
The old turtle said, “You want to solve the An family? It’s a big family with Monarchs. If the An family is a power in the Chaotic Wasteland and has at least two Monarchs, it must be one of the three major cities. It’s very likely to be a city lord. Although I don’t know much about the situation in the Chaotic Wasteland, I know that a city lord-level powerhouse is not someone you can fight easily.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. “Why? You lived next to the Chaotic Wasteland, but you don’t even know the situation in the Chaotic Wasteland?”
Han Fei now understood that Old Yuan was actually only at the level of a small lord. He used to think that Old Yuan was very strong, but now it seemed that Old Yuan’s status wasn’t very high.
Old Yuan even said that he had a great opportunity for him. What great opportunity could a small lord have? Even if he wanted to go to the Godfiend Sea, he couldn’t rush in without knowing anything. Instead, he should understand that place first before entering it.
Old Yuan’s voice was excited. “We turtles usually don’t move. Before the Godfiend Sea was sealed, we rarely came to the Chaotic Wasteland. This place is very strange. You should take that tide wave seriously. In fact, this thing wasn’t caused by the war of gods. And the Chaotic Wasteland isn’t a place that appeared after the war of gods.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.”
Han Fei was immediately interested. This was different from what Ye Lan said. However, Ye Lan was only in the Venerable realm. She didn’t know much. What she knew was either what others wanted them to know or hearsay. It was impossible for her to compare to a native of the Sea Realm like Old Yuan.
Old Yuan said, “The Chaotic Wasteland has existed for millions of years. The history of the tide wave is as long as the Chaotic Wasteland. However, the frequency of the tide wave outbreak was very low in the past. Later, strong masters chased in to find the source of the tide wave. As far as I know, in the depths of the Chaotic Wasteland, the source of the tide wave should be extremely terrifying. This is why a god battle broke out here. Of course, the so-called god battle is not the battle where the gods died. That battle is not here at all, nor can it be here. Otherwise, the entire East Sea Divine Realm would have been destroyed.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Are you serious? This Chaotic Wasteland is not small. How vast is the territory of a main city? Can it be destroyed?”
Old Yuan said, “It can afford a war of gods, but it’s definitely not enough to afford a war with so many creatures involved. Anyway, just listen to me. If you’re not strong enough, don’t trace the source of the tide wave. Look at the three big cities in the Chaotic Wasteland now, even the Monarchs can’t solve the tide wave. You know how terrifying the source of this thing is.”
Han Fei nodded slightly. He believed the old turtle’s hint. If the Chaotic Wasteland had such a long history, it would be a decent history. And what Ye Lan said was that after the war of gods, the Origin Ground that had been explored formed primitive tombs and fell here. That didn’t seem right.
After all, it was said that the Origin Grounds were in the Sea of Stars, so the Chaotic Wasteland should be a strange space that could connect to the Sea of Stars. This place should be more like a teleportation door. However, for some reason, this space was invaded and enveloped by tide waves, which resulted in its current appearance.
Of course, this was just Han Fei’s own guess. The real answer might not be clear even to the old turtle, but the history of the Chaotic Wasteland that the old turtle mentioned was definitely more accurate than Ye Lan’s.
Han Fei said, “I won’t care about the tide wave for the time being, and I don’t have the ability to explore the secrets of its source. However, I’m not in a hurry to go to the Godfiend Sea. Although the Chaotic Wasteland is not suitable for survival, it’s only relative. The tide wave only comes once every hundred years. It’s coming soon. After this time, I’ll be like a fish in water here. Even if the ominous creatures’ strength exceeds mine, it’s nothing to me. Perhaps this place is more suitable for me.”
Knowing that he couldn’t convince Han Fei for the time being, the old turtle reminded him in the end, “In that case, you have to be careful not to provoke a Monarch. That’s a realm that neither of us has experienced. The means of a Monarch might exceed our imagination.”
Han Fei said, “I’m not stupid. Don’t you know anything else about the Chaotic Wasteland? For example, about the human race…”
When Han Fei asked this question, his heart suddenly stirred. Someone came from outside.
…
“Where is the leader of the Little Sea Village, Zhao Jing?”
Outside Little Sea Village, three Sea Establishers descended with a dignified look. On closer inspection, these three people were covered in dark green scales, including their faces, but the scales on their faces were more exquisite. These three people also had tails. There was no telling what they evolved from. Their tails looked a bit like dragon tails. Han Fei suspected that they had dragon bloodline.
In short, one could see with the naked eye that their bodies contained extremely terrifying energy. They must be members of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Their characteristics completely matched the description of the Ten Thousand Scale Race in the historical records of Little Sea Village.

Zhao Jing stepped to the entrance of Little Sea Village and said respectfully, “Zhao Jing greets the three envoys. Clean Stones have been prepared. Please take a look.”
At this moment, Han Fei and the others stopped cultivating and looked at the three powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Scale Race with interest.
Because Han Fei and the others were of a high level, the three of them couldn’t discover them at all.
At the entrance of the village, Zhou Hai and the others’ eyes turned red when they saw Zhao Jing take out a huge amount of Clean Stones. They dug them out day after day, but half of them were taken away in one go. Anyway, every time the Tax Envoys came, they would be depressed for a while.
Zhao Jing didn’t look like a king at all. With her personally mining, they finally dug enough Clean Stones.
However, when the three Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses saw the Clean Stones given by Zhao Jing, they couldn’t help but frown.
The leader shouted, “Why is there still 30% of the original ores? Are you trying to trick me?”
Zhao Jing hurriedly said, “I dare not, Master Tax Envoy. Although there are 30% of the original ores, after refining them, the number will definitely not be reduced at all. Please make an exception, Master Tax Envoy. Many strong masters of our village died in the last tide wave, which reduced our mining speed. Besides, the cultivation of the villagers of Little Sea Village also needs…”
“That’s enough! I don’t want to listen to your explanation. Anyway, the original ores just won’t do. Either bring me the refined Clean Stone, or Little Sea Village will pay 10% more tax this time.”
“What? Ten percent more?”
Zhou Hai’s expression changed drastically. “Master Tax Envoy, the tide wave is coming. We haven’t had the time to temper our own original ores. If you tax us additionally, our Little Sea Village will be doomed!”
The Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouse’s eyes turned cold. “That’s just your excuse. Every village said so to me, but which of you is really destroyed? Also, don’t challenge my decision again. Otherwise, 70%…”
Zhou Hai was furious and was about to say something when Zhao Jing shouted, “Zhou Hai, shut up.”
Zhao Jing’s pupils were constricted. After a few seconds of silence, she ordered the entire village, “Everyone, bring out all the Clear Stones you have, as well as the energy crystals.”
The Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouse said indifferently, “You only have half an hour. After collecting your tax, I have to go to the next village. There’s still at least half a month before the next tide wave. You still have time to dig.”
Zhao Jing gritted her teeth and shouted again, “Hurry up, give them all to me within half an hour.”
Zhou Hai was furious and almost went crazy. Zhao Jing was gambling with the lives of the entire village! Even if they didn’t sleep or rest, they might not be able to make it in half a month.
At this moment, the Ten-Thousand Scale Race tax envoy looked at Zhou Hai. “Are you very angry? I felt killing intent. You lowly human, how dare you have killing intent on me?”
With that, the man punched horizontally, and the entrance of Little Sea Village instantly exploded and was flattened. Zhou Hai was shocked and his Qi and blood erupted. He only dared to resist but didn’t dare to fight back.
Bang!
His figure flew thousands of kilometers away in an instant, and blood splashed across the sky. During the whole process, although Zhao Jing wanted to attack, she held it back. Otherwise, if the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s Tax Envoys asked for more taxes, it would be over.
The Ten Thousand Scale Race’s Tax Envoy snorted coldly. “This is the result of offending me.”
Just as the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s tax envoy stopped, a voice sounded leisurely.
“Hey! What did you just say? Lowly human? Say it again.”
