A two-thousand-year history is already considered to be a very ancient treasure.

Beyond that, either it has no records, is lost without a trace, or is in the hands of the most formidable experts, making it extremely difficult to find.

Moreover, among the Blue Star Captains of the Legendary Ship level, time-binding artifacts with a two-thousand-year history are already considered the most exceptional.

Even the time-binding artifact anchored by Wang Yun has a history of only seventeen hundred years.

It’s said that Wang Yun obtained guidance to acquire this relatively ancient item.

An ordinary Blue Star Captain would be extremely lucky to find a time-binding artifact with a history of a thousand years.

The existing Blue Star Captains of the Legendary Ship level mostly anchor their time-binding artifacts to a few hundred years, with some exhausting their resources to purchase one that is exactly a century old.

Hundred-year-old treasures are actually quite abundant.

However, a hundred years is far too low for Fang Yu.

At this moment, Fang Yu turned his gaze to Luu Yuan and directly asked, without wasting time, "Luu Yuan, just tell me the specific age of the oldest treasure you’ve found."

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Luu Yuan quickly flipped the documents to the last page and then spoke to Fang Yu, "Captain, currently the oldest treasure identified is thirty-seven hundred years old, but it’s collected by the ancient aristocrats of the Long Wind Sea Country, and acquiring it may not be easy."

"Thirty-seven hundred years..."

Fang Yu murmured, displaying some disappointment in his eyes.

Even though a thirty-seven-hundred-year-old Secret Treasure is ancient enough, it still isn’t significant enough for Fang Yu.

With thirty-seven hundred years of accumulated time, it simply isn’t a match for the Fisherman.

After pondering, Fang Yu still patted Luu Yuan’s shoulder and softly said, "You’ve worked hard, I’ll try to think of another way."

Luu Yuan opened his mouth but eventually had to nod.

Yet after a while, Luu Yuan couldn’t help but show a hesitant expression.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing this, Fang Yu felt a glimmer of hope internally and curiously asked.

However, Fang Yu was disappointed once more, as Luu Yuan didn’t wish to discuss the time-binding artifact, but rather about the West Qinghai Sea Region.

"Captain, recently in the West Qinghai Sea Region, everyone rested for a few days after a victory. Although there hasn’t been much happening during these days, but..."

"After gradually recovering, now everyone seems to have some ideas about the ownership of the West Cyan Continent."

"Hmm?"

Fang Yu shifted his gaze to Luu Yuan, his eyes slightly moving.

"The members of the Sea Race believe that, due to your promises, the seas surrounding the West Cyan Continent should be occupied by them. Currently, a group of Sea Race members is preparing to migrate their population from the Far Deep Sea."

"Meanwhile, Blue Star Captains appear to be quietly plotting something, with recent posts vaguely circulating on forums about forming a Blue Star Sea Country, with some wanting to make the West Cyan Continent a foothold for Blue Star Captains and develop it into the Blue Star Sea Country."

Luu Yuan pointed reluctantly towards the distance, "Well, with both sides thinking this way, the indigenous Spiritualists of this continent naturally aren’t very willing. To the Spiritualists, this continent has always been their homeland, how could they easily give their territory to others."

"In general, the situation on the West Cyan Continent has become quite complicated recently. While nothing appears on the surface, there’s mutual dissent in secret among all parties."

Luu Yuan looked at Fang Yu hopefully with a face full of worry.

Hearing Luu Yuan’s words, Fang Yu rubbed his head, also sensing a headache.

This matter is truly tricky.

The Spiritualists, being the indigenous people of this continent, see it as rightfully theirs, and this is indisputable.

But for the other two forces, considering the effort they put into conquering and defending the continent from the Era Army, where many brothers died, they believe a piece of the land should be rightfully given to them.

Each of the three sides holds their own standpoint and demands, none of which are excessive.

But when opposed to each other, friction is inevitable.

Fang Yu does not want the West Cyan Continent to fall into chaos, particularly as the Lanyun Sea Country is restless, preparing for an attack on the Duorong Federation.

Moreover, the situation within the Duorong Federation is turbulent already, long filled with undercurrents.

Fang Yu even suspects his father’s intentions, hinting at making the South Island Continent the main body of Duorong, perhaps even supporting Kong Huaao to reach the position of Sovereign of the Sea Country.

With such chaotic circumstances, if the West Cyan Continent also descends into turmoil, it might become a target for exploitation as the softest point, being the first to be squeezed.

Nevertheless, Fang Yu presently lacks efficient means to integrate the different thoughts of the three parties.

At this moment, the problem occupying his mind is how to find a deeply rooted time-binding artifact to advance to the Legendary Ship level.

After all, his three paths of power have already, aided by significant resources acquired by Fang Yu followed by several days of rest, reached the fourth stage.

Enough to challenge the Legendary Ship level.

Yet he must carefully weigh his choice of time-binding artifacts.

Considering this, Fang Yu couldn’t help but step away from his sea vessel.

He planned to chat with Chongyuan.

As one of the ancient beings still around from the Spiritualist era, and with manifestations throughout the Ocean World, Chongyuan might know of a sufficiently ancient time-binding artifact.

...

Meanwhile, as the West Cyan Continent entered a rest phase.

In a certain region above the sea, three figures suddenly appeared, swiftly distancing themselves from one another, with one of them looking warily at the other two.

"Hehe... I didn’t expect you two to band together, truly a surprise."

"However, old man, if you think rescuing me makes me heed your orders, you’d be gravely mistaken!"

This figure was defiant, with a fierce scar on his face, shockingly Beastified, he’s a Yuanqi claimed by the Fisherman.

The two opposing figures standing across from him were naturally the Fisherman and the Sea Beast King.

Currently Yuanqi looked warily at the Fisherman, with a cold and sly smile at the corners of his mouth, his heart surged with murderous intent, but he simply could not confidently defeat the Fisherman.

The opponent was far too ancient, far too powerful, with the accumulation of years, even with Yuanqi possessing the legacy of Master of the Times and forty-five Sky Dome Patterns, he’s certainly not a match for the Fisherman.

Yuanqi was both vigilant and fanatical within.

His eyes bubbled with murderous intent, not showing any gratitude to the Fisherman for saving him.

Since Yuanqi knew, it was entirely due to the Fisherman that he fell into the besieged predicament, and nearly died.

If not for his curse power erupting at a critical moment, he might have had a chance to escape the array with his life, avoiding such a dire situation.

And the core culprit behind his curse power was none other than the serene-faced Fisherman before him.

This person both detonated the curse within him and pretended to save him.

Merely trying to make him submit with the guise of a savior?

In his dreams!

Yuanqi, with explosive temper, absolutely did not want to be subordinate to anyone.

He couldn’t help but sneer and immediately planned to leave.

But just then, the Fisherman’s voice echoed from behind Yuanqi, "Do you want to advance to the later stage of the Sky Dome Realm? I can help you!"

"Hmm?"

Yuanqi hesitated, his gaze involuntarily returning to the Fisherman.

After a while, he sneered, "What new wicked idea do you have?"

"You old guys who’ve lived too long, none of you are any good. Cooperating with you is akin to seeking skin with a tiger!"

Upon hearing Yuanqi’s words, a stiff smile broke upon the Fisherman’s dried visage, then he spoke quietly:

"I know where Chongyuan’s body was relocated."

"If you agree to one thing, not only can I eliminate your curse power, freeing you from worries, but I’ll also disclose Chongyuan’s body’s location."

"Finding Chongyuan’s body, you can not only take revenge on those who besieged you, but you can also devour Chongyuan, using his accumulated energy to advance to the later stage of Sky Dome Realm."

"In the early stage, with forty-five Sky Dome Patterns, if you rise to the later stage, even I might not stand against you..."

The Fisherman’s voice whispered like a devil’s, each phrase quickened Yuanqi’s heartbeat...
