>Most of the sects that currently exist on the Near Sea Islands were founded after the Battle of the Seas. Before that, almost all sea-faring sects were destroyed by attacks from the sea races. Only one sect was an exception…
"No, to be precise, there are two."
"Which two" Jiang Wang asked.
One is Yanggu, and the other is Dianghai Building.
"Yanggu"
Fishing Pavilion's Jiang Wang has already known, and the name "Yanggu," truly makes people unable to avoid associations.
In mythology, the place where the sun rises is known as "Yanggu".
>
Once the overlord who unified the Eastern regions, also known as "Yang" for its country name.
To the northwest, it stretched to endless sands. To the southwest, it bordered on Sword Peak Mountain in the Xia Kingdom. Marching westward into the Middle Territory, it vied for supremacy with the Jing Kingdom. At that time, the country of Yang was at its peak, rising like the sun; it truly deserved to be called the "Land of Dawn".
Strictly speaking, the current near-sea islands were once part of the territory of the Yang Kingdom.
“The reason my view of this sect has changed is that, as a sect, it was indeed founded after the battle where cultivators from all over the world went to sea. However, its history of guarding the sea border goes far beyond these years.”

Zhong Xuan Sheng took a serious attitude and said, "Its predecessor was an army of the Yangguo guarding the sea. Its history of garrisoning the sea frontier is almost as long as that of the Yangguo. But when the Yangguo was on the verge of extinction, the last king of Yangguo made a frantic withdrawal of troops, staging his final frenzy. This one unit alone refused to return to the capital."
“Because they believed, compared to the brilliance of Yang Guo, they had something more worthy of protection, which was the peace of the human sea border!”
"It was precisely because of this army, the Dailing Lou, and the steadfast defense of those early-stage sects on the nearby islands that later cultivators from across the land were able to join the fight at sea. Only then could they drive the Sea Race back into the Myriad Realms.”

"But after that battle ended and the sea borders regained peace, the commander of that army committed suicide with his sword. For the country of Yang had perished, the royal bloodline was extinguished, and as a general of Yang, he felt guilty for failing his country. After his death, the remaining soldiers inherited his will and continued to guard the sea borders. They were all Yang people, but their country was destroyed, so they established themselves under the name 'Yanggu', meaning to forever stand watch in the land of sunrise, as a coffin bearer! To show that they never forgot their homeland."
Jiang Wang sighed deeply: "It's truly touching!"
"As for the Diaohailou..." Chongxu Sheng said, "Their history is even more ancient. It is said that during the cataclysm of the ancient times, the sea tribes surged back. The ancestor of the Diaohailou sat in Tianya Stage. Firmly guarding the coastal frontier, one person with one rod, fishing the dragon at Tianya! Therefore, the world acknowledges the Diaohailou's rights to the islands near the coast, even when later the Yang Kingdom dominated the East Region and cast its covetous gaze upon the world, they did not expel the Diaohailou."
One person, one pole, fishing for dragons at the end of the world!
What grandeur, what magnificence!
"It's so enchanting, I wish I could see it in person!" Jiang Wang sighed.
Of course, this is just a legend about the Diaohailou and there is no historical evidence to confirm its authenticity. But over the centuries, Diaohailou has undoubtedly made an indelible contribution in resisting the sea tribes.
Zhong Xuan lightly patted his head, seeming to feel a headache as well: "In short, the Fishing Sea Tower has a glorious history, made great contributions, possesses formidable strength, and has unparalleled influence in the nearby island chain. The possibility of shaking their already established Sea Festival is virtually nonexistent."
"My uncle does indeed operate on the near-sea islands, but firstly, we are not close, and secondly, my family's influence at sea is simply insufficient. Even Chongjia Island was only recently acquired from the Tian family and only has a ten-year development right. I wouldn't even be able to stand at the same gambling table as Diaolou on the near-sea islands, even if I bet everything I have."
Zhong Xuan Sheng's uncle, Zhong Xuan Minghe, was the fourth son of the old Marquis Zhong Xuan Yunbo. He spent most of his time developing overseas and rarely returned to Linzi.
He felt complicated emotions towards Chong Xuan Sheng, the son of his second brother Chong Xuan Tu, because Chong Xuan Tu bore a large part of the responsibility for the death of his third brother in battle on Zhenxuan Mountain. Over these years he had neither made things difficult for Chong Xuan Sheng nor been close to him.
The last time the two of them got in touch was also because of Jiang Wang's matter. Chong Xuan Sheng, when he was collecting information on Hai Zongming, specifically asked him for help. At that time, he hadn't refused.
But this time was different. A Hai Zongming, and being far from the coastal islands, Chong Xuan Minghe perhaps wouldn't mind, he would simply handle it with a wave of his hand. Involving the entire Dianhai Tower, if he had the heart, he might be powerless, or maybe he didn't even have the heart.
Given He Xuan's family background and intelligence, it is almost impossible for this to happen.
That means saving Bamboo Biqiong would indeed be a tremendously difficult task.
Jiang Wang believed in Chongxuan Sheng's wisdom more than anyone else, firmly believing in his judgment.

But he held his sword with both hands, its blade resting across his knees, and said only, "Zhú Bì Qióng suffered punishment for me. Without news of her, I couldn't have possibly slain Hǎi Zōngmíng back then."
His voice was calm, and that calmness made it seem even more resolute: "Even if there's no possibility, I must do everything I can."

Zhong Xuan Sheng remained silent for a long time before saying, “It’s futile for an ant to shake a tree. To topple a mighty tree, one needs the gale-force winds.”
He wasn't eager to say these things. He didn't want Jiang Wang to do too much for a Zhu Biqiong, but he also didn't want to watch Jiang Wang risk himself in vain.

After all, it was precisely this kind of Jiang Wang, this Jiang Wang who was always true to his word and emphasized loyalty and righteousness, that earned his trust back then. And he truly accompanied him all the way to the present day.
So he finally gave his advice: “Changgu has been fighting too hard in the Labyrinth Realm, and its power has always been difficult to develop. The other sects lack depth and prestige. Today, in the Near Sea Islands, there is actually only the voice of my great Qi that can compare with the Fishing Sea Tower. But the voice of Great Qi is not your voice or mine. You and I both represent Great Qi far too little.”

So who better represents the State of Qi

Given Jiang Wang's current status, he doesn't yet have the qualifications to meet the emperor at any time. The most representative person of Da Qi's imperial court is the Emperor himself; they wouldn't even consider anyone else. The other titles like Great Marshal of the State, or Grand Chancellor of Da Qi, are all the same.
He could only reach the princes and princesses of the Jiang family.
Like Prince Jiang Wuyang who had absolutely no hope, that wouldn't work.

Those who were qualified to speak on behalf of Da Qi to some extent were those few "Palace Masters."
But to align with the prince who coveted the Dragon Throne would be a dangerous loss of points for the Chongxuan family. The Chongxuan family's own foundation of strength didn't require them to rely on the dragon throne.
So, he could only ask for himself. He would use his own name to make the request. Chong Xuan Sheng and the Chong Xuan family behind him wouldn't play any role in this matter.
That is when his personal value is witnessed.
Or perhaps, it is witnessing his value in the hearts of the people of Qi. That value may not be entirely equal to Jiang Wang himself, but it is undoubtedly more recognized and persuasive.
For Jiang Wang's promise, who would like to make a bid
