The thirty-second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace.

When Ye Chen stepped into the passage and set foot on this level with Jiang Yao, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After nearly eight months, he had braved layer after layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, passed through numerous checkpoints, and survived crisis after crisis, finally reaching this thirty-second layer, the penultimate of the entire thirty-three layers of the Undersea Divine Palace.

It was the most special layer that possessed the "Eye of the Divine Sea"!

At this moment, there were only four months left before the end of the one-year search for the "Eye of Creation" and the "Eye of the Divine Sea" prior to the Great Cleansing Calamity, which would bring about the annihilation of all martial artists in four months' time.

If he could find the "Eye of the Divine Sea" hidden within this layer in these four months, he would be able to ensure that countless martial artists would survive this calamity!

This, of course, made Ye Chen feel both nervous and excited.

After taking a deep breath, Ye Chen suppressed his nervous and excited emotions and, together with Jiang Yao, looked towards the new world of the thirty-second layer they had just entered.

This layer was a world with swamps, lakes, and mountains, but Ye Chen and Jiang Yao did not immediately see the ocean known as the "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords," which was rumored to conceal the "Eye of the Divine Sea."

"It seems our teleportation drop-off isn't on the edge of the 'Sea of Ten Thousand Swords.' We'll need to search thoroughly through this land to find that 'Sea of Ten Thousand Swords'!" Ye Chen said to Jiang Yao, "Yao'er, let's go. Let's use the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact Vessel to thoroughly search this land and see if there's an ocean!"

"Mhm."

Jiang Yao nodded, and together with Ye Chen, they entered the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact Vessel.

Whoosh!

Next, the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact Vessel began to fly through this vast land at an extremely fast speed.

The vessel traversed vast expanses of land and mountains and even flew over numerous lakes that dotted the land.

When they had thoroughly searched the southern part of this land and saw no hint of the ocean, the vessel continued its flight towards the north.

Eventually, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao finally saw a vast and boundless ocean at the northernmost tip of this land.

"Sea of Ten Thousand Swords!"

Upon seeing this ocean, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao both exclaimed in surprise.

The reason they recognized this ocean as the "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords" they were seeking was that looking towards the vastness of the ocean, they could see sword lights soaring from the ocean into the sky. Even without stepping into the ocean, they could feel the marvel of the countless sword lights soaring skyward.

Among these numerous soaring sword lights, they saw the strongest beam of sword light, towering and spanning the ocean, as if it were a colossal pillar stabilizing the sea, incredibly vast.

Atop this beam of sword light, three characters shone brightly—"Sea of Ten Thousand Swords"!

Seeing the characters "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords" on the strongest beam of sword light towering into the heavens, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao knew for certain that they had come to the right place!

This ocean is entirely a sea of sword lights. It's hard to imagine what lies within to create so many sword lights," Jiang Yao exclaimed as she looked at the Sea of Ten Thousand Swords ahead.

Ye Chen smiled, "Let's go in and find out!"

They took the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact Vessel and headed straight into the "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords."

To find the "Eye of the Divine Sea" hidden within the "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords," they must brave through it, even if it were a field of blades or a sea of flames!

As Ye Chen and Jiang Yao rode the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact Vessel into the region of the "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords" and entered among the soaring sword lights, they discovered that the seawater, which looked quite normal from the outside, formed a straight passageway to the ocean floor once they were inside.

This water channel seemed to be guiding them towards something.

And as Ye Chen and Jiang Yao flew along this water channel for nearly half an hour, they found that the endless sea had vanished, and they had come directly into a special space hidden within the Sea of Ten Thousand Swords.

While they had prepared to thoroughly search the Sea of Ten Thousand Swords, they never expected to come directly into a special space following the water channel, which certainly left Ye Chen and Jiang Yao immensely shocked.

And what shocked them even more was that within this special space, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao saw countless people—or more accurately, countless Sword Cultivators!

At least tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators had gathered within this not so large special space, and strikingly, every one of these Sword Cultivators was someone Ye Chen had encountered on the first floor of the Undersea Divine Palace from the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm.

No matter what, Ye Chen had never imagined that he and Jiang Yao would encounter so many martial artists on the thirty-second floor of the Undersea Divine Palace.

Could it be that all these people had successfully broken into the thirty-second floor of the Undersea Divine Palace?

But that's impossible!

On his way here, Ye Chen had not seen so many people descending further down, as practically all the martial artists were blocked within the first fourteen floors.

Moreover, many of these martial artists were of the Heavenly Saint Realm, and even among those in the True God Realm, many were considered low-tier True Gods.

Their strength was simply not enough to support them entering this place.

Even the old clan leaders of the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan, both Nine Tribulations True Gods, were killed by Ye Chen on the twenty-first floor; it was impossible for so many martial artists to have successfully reached the thirty-second floor.

What's more, these tens of thousands of martial artists were all Sword Cultivators.

This was even stranger.

Clearly, there must be some astounding secret hidden in the depths of the Sea of Ten Thousand Swords within this special space!

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also noticed that in this rather small special space, aside from the tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators, there was only a colossal sword that stood a thousand zhang high in the center of the special space.

All the Sword Cultivators were sitting in meditation around this thousand-zhang colossal sword.

Obviously, it was very likely that this colossal sword was the key to this special space.

While Ye Chen was amazed at encountering so many Sword Cultivators suddenly in the "Sea of Ten Thousand Swords" on the thirty-second floor, the tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators sitting around the colossal sword also noticed Ye Chen.

Among them, two Sword Cultivators flew over to Ye Chen in astonishment after recognizing him straight away.

These two Sword Cultivators turned out to be the Three-Eyed Skeleton and Qing Shuang True God, the blue-robed sword-bearing woman from the Northern Dark Clan who accompanied Huo Mei'er in the Five Elements Mountain, both of whom Ye Chen knew very well from his escapades there.

By this time, the Three-Eyed Skeleton had already returned to the Four Tribulations True God level, which was somewhat surprising to Ye Chen.

And Qing Shuang True God, who was a Four Tribulations True God initially, had even stepped into the realm of the Five Tribulations True God!

Both had made progress in their realms, to the surprise of Ye Chen, but what surprised him even more was that, even with their improved states, it seemed unlikely for them to have broken into this thirty-second floor at the levels of Four or Five Tribulations True Gods!

In the midst of Ye Chen's surprise, the Three-Eyed Skeleton and Qing Shuang True God had already flown to his side.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl Jiang Yao beside Ye Chen, they said to Ye Chen as their opening line, "Ye Chen, how did you also end up here? Don't tell me, after being unable to continue in the Undersea Divine Palace, you too were mysteriously brought here?"

"Unable to continue in the Undersea Divine Palace? Mysteriously brought here? Are you saying, Three-Eyed Skeleton Senior and Qing Shuang Senior, that you did not find this place by yourselves?" Ye Chen asked the Three-Eyed Skeleton and Qing Shuang True God.

At the same time, he added, "Jiang Yao and I came in from outside, we weren't brought here."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" the tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators seated in meditation all stood up in shock, staring at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao in disbelief.

"Made it here?"

"Are you two youngsters saying that you fought your way through the Undersea Divine Palace, floor by floor, until you arrived at this thirty-second floor?"

The tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators couldn't believe it.

The Three-Eyed Skeleton and Qing Shuang True God also couldn't believe it, and with a wry smile, they said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, all of us here were trapped within the first dozen or so floors and didn't dare to proceed further. In the end, we were all taken here from various realms by some inexplicable force."

"Most of these tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators are from our Northern Dark Clan and the Blood God Clan, and the remainder are also from the thirty-three continents. However, without exception, all had previously failed to make it through the Undersea Divine Palace and didn't continue, choosing a realm to settle down before being brought here."

"Ye Chen, the fact that you two could find this place on your own is truly unbelievable!" At the end, the Three-Eyed Skeleton and Qing Shuang True God looked at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao with immense astonishment.
