Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1079 Discussion, Zheng Family's Conditions (Long Chapter)
Luoyun sea area.

Virtual flow around the island.

Above the blue sea.

A number of mysterious islands of various sizes and with fascinating auras are located on the vast ocean.

All the islands vaguely form a circle, encircling the deep blue sea in the central area.

This place is the well-known Xuliu Island in Luoyun Sea, and the headquarters of Xuhai Palace, one of the two top forces in Luoyun Sea.

Among them, the Xuhai Palace is located in the central sea area around the island.

Because of the Xuhai Palace, the surrounding islands are extremely prosperous and it is a popular trading place in the Luoyun Sea.

On this day, on the surrounding islands, many figures stopped and looked up at the sky.

From time to time, figures flashed through the air, and the overwhelming pressure of the Nascent Soul made everyone tremble.

The Yuanying Zhenjun, who was rarely seen in the past, has appeared frequently in recent days.

Even though most cultivators didn't know what was going on, they knew that something big was about to happen in Xuhai Palace.

Amid countless gazes looking up.

A black spirit boat flashed by.

Inside the spirit boat, Li Qing and Lu Ziming looked towards the depths of the island at the same time.

From afar, magnificent blue palaces are floating above the sea. The densely packed palaces seem to form another small world.

Under the influence of the formation, a thick layer of blue crystals formed on the surface of the sea.

Unlike other sects and forces, the Xuhai Palace’s headquarters does not have a real island. It can be said that the entire headquarters is supported by a large formation.

"According to rumors, the Xuhai Palace's protective formation is based on the surrounding twenty-seven large islands and one hundred and six small islands. It seems to be worthy of its reputation."

Looking at the special scene ahead, Li Qing exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes, the Xuhai Palace has been passed down for ten thousand years. The strength of the formation around it alone is so strong that it can withstand the attack of a powerful Yuanying late stage cultivator."

Lu Ziming showed emotion.

The inheritance of ten thousand years has special significance in the world of immortal cultivation and represents the heritage of Xuhai Palace.

I don't know what he thought of, Lu Ziming smiled and said: "I'm afraid that our sect's future defense methods will not be inferior to this formation."

Li Qing smiled and nodded.

The Water Witch Tribe is indeed the last trump card to protect the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

Once Guan Ming obtains the inheritance of the Yuding tribe, he can mobilize the hidden power within the Water Witch tribe through the inheritance tower, which is also enough to compete with the powerful forces in the late Nascent Soul stage.

A moment later, the two of them appeared on the outskirts of an area consisting of countless large blue palaces.

As the spirit boat disappeared, Li Qing and the other person appeared at the same time.

At this moment, a familiar figure quickly flew out from the Xuhai Palace headquarters.

"Haha, welcome fellow Daoist Qingxuan to our Xuhai Palace."

Master Fu Yun stepped forward and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Meet Fellow Daoist Fu Yun"

Li Qing smiled and nodded.

"Speaking of which, this should be the first time that Brother Qingxuan comes to visit our Xuhai Palace," said Zhenjun Fu Yun with a smile.

"Haha, I have longed for this, but was delayed by some trivial matters. This time I will take this opportunity to come and visit your clan in person."

"Haha, there's no need to be polite between us. Great Elder Yun Gu has already been waiting in the hall. Please follow me."

Just as the two of them followed Master Fu Yun towards the Xuhai Palace headquarters.

Countless eyes fell on Li Qing's figure.

Those people were exactly the disciples of Xuhai Palace.

"Is that the True Lord Qingxuan who is famous throughout the Luoyun Sea?"

"It must be him, otherwise why would Grand Elder Fu Yun come here in person to pick him up?"

"I have also heard Master mention this True Lord Qingxuan. It is said that he is the number one person below the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is terrifyingly powerful and his methods are unfathomable."

"Yes, more importantly, this person is only at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. This kind of person is what we are chasing after. Even at the Nascent Soul stage, he can still have terrifying combat power that transcends levels."

Waves of discussion spread among the many Xuhai Palace disciples.

In their hearts, even the name of True Lord Qingxuan is more prestigious than those terrifying strong men at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage. After all, in comparison, the deeds of True Lord Qingxuan are more representative.

He himself is extremely talented. When the sect was in danger, he returned to the sect with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, and finally led the sect to expel the powerful enemy.

Such inspiring deeds are exactly the scenes imagined by countless talented monks.

Inside the Xuhai Palace headquarters.

A huge palace is floating in the air.

The next moment, three figures fell from the hall.

After entering the hall, Li Qing discovered that this event was far more lively than he had imagined.

Looking around, one could see the figures of Yuanying Zhenjun sitting in the hall.

Some of them are faces that Li Qing is familiar with.

They were all people who had gone to Qianshui Yuling Sect to participate in the grand ceremony that year.

As far as the eye can see, all the Nascent Soul forces of the Xuhai Palace camp have gathered together.

At the front of the hall was the great elder Yun Gu from Xuhai Hall, whom Li Qing had met twice. On both sides of his jade desk, there were three figures with even more majestic auras.

Those three people also had the cultivation level of the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

One of the old men wearing gray-black armor was the strongest man of Tianjia Sect - Patriarch Jialuo. The other tall man wearing a khaki Taoist robe was the master of Jinsha Cave - Sha Ming.

In addition, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman in a white palace dress, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

A strange look flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

This beautiful lady of ice should be the one from the famous Bingji Palace in Luoyun Sea.

The Bingji Palace is a force with a special reputation in the Luoyun Sea. All of its disciples have ice-type spiritual roots, and they are all female.

Although there are not many monks in the Bingji Palace, their strength is extremely strong.

The Bingji Palace has two female Zhenjuns at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, in addition to four female Zhenjuns who are Nascent Soul cultivators.

The proportion of its strong ones is extremely exaggerated.

In the Xu Hai Palace camp, Bing Ji Palace is undoubtedly the strongest force besides Xu Hai Palace.

However, this sect has always been relatively closed and rarely interacts with other forces.

Even the three factions that are part of the Xuhai Palace camp have no connection with it.

"Daoyou Qingxuan actually came here in person"

After seeing Li Qing appear, all the Yuanying Zhenjuns around him bowed and saluted with a smile.

"Hello, fellow Taoists."

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

In an instant, Li Qing once again became the focus of the hall.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ziming on the side smiled.

Looking at the entire Luoyun Sea area, apart from this senior brother, there is no other Nascent Soul cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage who has such power.

At this moment, the elder of the Yungu Assembly in the front of the hall also stood up with a smile.

"It is a great honor for our Xuhai Palace that Fellow Daoist Qing can come here this time. It is not easy to invite Fellow Daoist Qing to come here."

Faced with the teasing words of Great Elder Yun Gu, Li Qing could only smile and shake his head.

"This is also the first time I've met Daoist Fellow Qingxuan. He is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Master Sha Ming of Jinsha Cave smiled and bowed.

"Haha, when it comes to reputation, Daoist Qingxuan is even more famous than us. Not only in our Luoyun Sea, but also in the cultivation worlds of several other seas, Daoist Qingxuan's reputation is also spread."

Tianjiao Sect's Jia Luo Patriarch said with a smile.

Although he has reached the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, he still needs to treat the legendary True Lord Qingxuan as an equal.

As Nascent Soul cultivators, everyone could naturally understand what a Nascent Soul early stage peak cultivator who was over 200 years old meant.

What's more, the current strength of True Lord Qingxuan is already close to that of a strong man at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Once he enters the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his strength will be even more terrifying.

In terms of potential alone, no one in the hall can match them.

"You are too polite, my friend. That is just an empty title. I am only at the initial stage of Nascent Soul."

Li Qing smiled and returned the greetings one by one.

Because all the forces in the hall belong to the Xuhai Palace camp, they share common interests and are naturally harmonious with each other.

In fact, in addition to the Bingji Palace, forces including the Jinsha Cave and the Tianjia Sect have now established dealings with the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, there is no need to introduce these two to you. As for this one, he is Fellow Daoist Hanyue from Bingji Palace."

After Great Elder Yun Gu finished speaking, Li Qing smiled and bowed to the beautiful woman: "Greetings, Daoist Fellow Han Yue."

"Meet fellow Daoist Qingxuan"

The beautiful woman returned the greeting calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please take a seat. All of you fellow Daoists are now present."

Great Elder Yun Gu pointed to an empty jade table in front of him.

The positions of everyone are naturally arranged according to the strength of the major Nascent Soul forces.

Apart from the Great Elder Yun Gu who sat in the first position, the four jade tables below were obviously more noble.

The other three jade tables are the Jinsha Cave, Tianjia Sect and Bingji Palace, which are guarded by the peak middle-stage Nascent Soul masters.

Inside the hall, some Nascent Soul True Lords had a strange look in their eyes at the same time.

Xu Hai Palace’s attitude is self-evident.

This is to regard the alliance of three factions represented by True Lord Qingxuan as being of equal status with the other three powerful Nascent Soul forces.

Of course, none of them were dissatisfied.

In terms of surface strength alone, the alliance of three factions that monopolizes the Lingze area now has five Yuanying Zhenjuns in charge, in addition to two fourth-level demon kings and a Yuanying Zhenjun who has recently joined the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

The combat power of the eight Yuanying level people is second only to Xuhai Palace among all the Yuanying forces in the hall.

What's more, there is Qingxuan Zhenjun, who has unlimited potential.

"Alright"

Li Qing smiled faintly, then took Lu Ziming towards the jade table.

With his current strength, he doesn't really care about attracting attention.

After everyone was seated, Great Elder Yun Gu finally spoke.

"Fellow Daoists, you have spared no effort to come to our Xuhai Palace. On behalf of Xuhai Palace, I would like to express my gratitude."

"I invited you all here this time to discuss an important matter."

Elder Yun Gu smiled and continued, "I guess everyone has heard that the Bianyu Sea is now plagued by a tide of beasts, and the newly emerged Golden Demon Nation is coming with great force."

"Although the Bianyu Sea Region is far away from our forces, we, the Xuhai Palace, are unwilling to sit idly by and watch the Bianyu Sea Region's cultivation world suffer a heavy blow. In addition, the Zheng family of the Bianyu Sea Region has actually secretly reached a cooperative alliance with our Xuhai Palace. In this case, we certainly cannot sit idly by."

Everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Especially when Great Elder Yun Gu said that they had reached an alliance with the Zheng family, everyone couldn't help but think of the current situation in the Luoyun Sea.

Faced with the aggressiveness of Yuanli Palace, Xuhai Palace chose to form an alliance with the Zheng family. Such news can be said to have invisibly relieved the pressure in everyone's hearts.

As for going to support the Bianyu Sea Area, everyone has their own ideas.

The strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom is also impressive, otherwise the Zheng family would not have asked for help.

Although going there would give us a chance to surround and kill the demon king, it would also be somewhat dangerous.

After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator has already died in the Bianyu Sea Area.

"I know what you are thinking. Although we from Xuhai Palace are going to provide support this time, our efforts are not in vain," said the great elder Yungu with a faint smile.

In essence, the Xu Hai Palace camp is a combination of interests, and the Xu Hai Palace will not make a choice that goes against the interests of a number of Nascent Soul forces.

Just as everyone turned their eyes to Elder Yun Gu.

But I only saw the Great Elder Yun Gu slowly stand up and bow towards the back of the hall. "Fellow Daoist Zheng Jun, please show up in person and explain this matter clearly."

In an instant, a tall old man wearing a black robe with cloud patterns and with a dignified face slowly walked out from behind the hall.

"Greetings to all the fellow Taoists from Luoyun Sea Area. I am Zheng Jun, the great elder of the Zheng Family."

After the Zheng family's eldest elder appeared, he took the initiative to nod towards Li Qing with a smile on his face.

Li Qing also returned the greeting with a smile.

The two had met each other during the Bian Yu Sea Area trip that year, and even the information about the Golden Demon Kingdom was revealed to the Zheng family by Li Qing.

He also didn't expect that the Zheng family's great elder would come in person.

"My fellow Taoists, I believe you all know what happened in the Bianyu Sea. To be honest, the Golden Demon Nation is coming with such a fierce force that our Zheng family did not expect it."

"This time there are many demon kings scattered in the Bianyu Sea area, killing people wantonly. It is difficult for our Zheng family to organize forces to surround and kill them all at once. We can only choose to ask for help from you."

Zheng Jun continued solemnly, "However, since most of the demon kings are scattered, this is also a good opportunity for you to surround and kill the demon kings. In addition, our Zheng family will also show sufficient sincerity."

"All the areas occupied by the monster army will belong to your forces for free distribution after the threat of the monster tide is resolved."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Yuanying Zhenjuns in the hall were shocked.

Even Li Qing couldn't help but be surprised by the Zheng family's generosity.

The defense line of the Bianyu Sea against the beast tide has collapsed, and a large area of ​​precious land outside its immortal cultivation world has been occupied by the Golden Demon Kingdom.

This is a very large sphere of influence.

For a moment, many Yuanying Zhenjuns, who originally had their own thoughts, all showed excited expressions.

Nowadays, with the Xuhai Palace and Yuanli Palace in charge of the Luoyun Sea, the internal territorial division has long been stable, and it is very difficult for many Nascent Soul forces to expand.

The Zheng family's conditions were undoubtedly a huge temptation for them.

Even though the Bianyu Sea is far away from the Luoyun Sea, everyone can arrange for disciples to go there to manage it.

Looking at the reactions of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall, Li Qing couldn't help but nodded secretly.

The Zheng family's reaction was decisive. They probably discovered that the Golden Demon Kingdom was quite powerful. For this reason, the Zheng family was even willing to cede territory and tie their interests together with those of a group of Nascent Soul forces.

Even if they successfully repel the Golden Demon Kingdom in the future, the territories acquired by the Nascent Soul forces will be adjacent to the Golden Demon Kingdom.

In this way, if the Golden Demon Kingdom continues to launch an offensive, these Nascent Soul forces that occupy territory in the Bianyu Sea will have to continue to participate.

Although the Zheng family gave up some of their interests, what they gained in return was the ability to sit in the rear more safely.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. Since Fellow Daoist Zheng and I have formed an alliance, we will definitely not sit idly by and watch such things happen."

Inside the hall, a man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage took the initiative to speak with a smile.

At the same time, several Nascent Soul cultivators expressed their attitudes directly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely warm.

The Zheng family's Great Elder and the Yun Gu Great Elder also had smiles on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing felt calmer.

In fact, he could understand everyone's thoughts. Everyone in the hall was a Yuanying Zhenjun, so naturally some people had seen through the Zheng family's plan.

The reason why everyone agreed so readily was mainly due to the attitude of Xuhai Palace.

Since Xu Hai Palace is willing to take action personally, they as the Xu Hai Palace camp also need to act together. Now with the Zheng family's promise of greater benefits, everyone is naturally more tempted.

It’s a pity that everyone underestimated the strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom, and the Xuhai Palace that everyone trusted also underestimated the strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom.

Although the Zheng family remained somewhat sober, they would never have thought that the Golden Demon Kingdom was likely to have a terrifying existence at the Nascent Soul level.

"Now it depends on the attitude of the Golden Demon Nation. Will it continue to maintain the current situation and let the battle line fall into a stalemate, or will it be more resolute and decisive and send out the fourth-stage powerful demon king."

Li Qing secretly shook his head.

If the Golden Demon Kingdom really launches an all-out attack, I'm afraid that the Nascent Soul cultivators who go deep into the front lines will also be in great danger.

It's a pity that he couldn't speak clearly about this matter.

He finally got to know this news because he escaped from the powerful fourth-stage late-stage demon king. If he told this matter, he would naturally be unable to explain it.

All Li Qing could do was watch this unpredictable battle unfold.

"What do the four Taoist friends think?"

Great Elder Yun Gu slowly looked towards Li Qing and the other three.

After all, the four Nascent Soul forces are the most powerful.

"I have no objection. It is only logical and reasonable that we should go and support you."

Patriarch Jialuo laughed and nodded.

It was obvious that he was also moved by the Zheng family's promise.

Sha Ming from Jinsha Cave nearby also smiled and nodded.

Before Li Qing could speak, the beautiful woman from the Ice Pole Palace said calmly, "We at the Ice Pole Palace are not interested in the promise of the Great Elder, but since the Great Elder has spoken, the Ice Pole Palace will naturally arrange for a Nascent Soul Elder to go."

"Haha, it's okay. It all depends on your wishes."

Faced with the Bingji Palace's attitude, the Zheng family's eldest elder smiled slightly, but did not show any dissatisfaction.

He had naturally heard of the Bingji Palace before, and the other party's style of doing things was just like that.

Every cultivator in the Bingji Palace is cold and arrogant, and doesn't like to talk much.

"I naturally have no objection."

Li Qing also smiled and nodded.

As a member of the Xuhai Palace camp, the Three Factions Alliance certainly cannot simply refuse to participate.

In addition, his plan was the same as that of the Bingji Palace, and he would only arrange for one Yuanying Zhenjun to go there to make a show.

"Okay, on behalf of the Zheng family, I would like to thank you all for your support. We will certainly repay you in the future."

Seeing that this matter went unexpectedly smoothly, the Zheng family's eldest elder couldn't help but look overjoyed.

After a while.

The atmosphere in the hall was joyous, and everyone was toasting and greeting each other.

As the Zheng family's great elder took the initiative to leave the hall, the other Yuanying Zhenjuns also began to take the initiative to say goodbye. Everyone was happily preparing for the next battle.

According to the Zheng family's promise, the stronger the strength entering the battlefield, the more territory they will occupy in the future.

Seeing that the many Nascent Soul forces in the hall began to disperse, Li Qing slowly stood up.

"Fellow Daoist Qing is leaving too?"

Great Elder Yun Gu said with a smile.

"That's right. Besides, I have something else I need to discuss with the Great Elder," Li Qing said with a smile.

"Oh? Daoist Qingxuan, please go ahead."

The Great Elder of Yungu looked surprised.

"It's mainly about supporting the Bianyu Sea Area this time."

"The Great Elder also knows the situation of our Qianshui Yuling Sect. Senior Brother Jingshui is in a difficult situation now and it is inconvenient for him to take action. Junior Brother Lu has just been promoted and his strength is still weak. Now I am the only one who is suitable. It's a pity that I have gained some enlightenment now and plan to go into seclusion. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to leave the sect in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Yun Gu couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

However, he also knew that what Fellow Daoist Qing said was true. Fellow Daoist Jingshui was approaching the end of his life, so he would naturally not act rashly, not to mention the newly joined guest supreme elder.

"The Lingze Region is now large enough for our three factions to develop their alliance, and we have no other ideas. So I would like to arrange for a Nascent Soul cultivator to accompany us, just like Fellow Daoist Han Yue from Bingji Palace."

After Li Qing finished speaking, Great Elder Yun Gu smiled and nodded: "This matter is not mandatory, Daoist Fellow Qing can arrange it on his own."

"Then I would like to congratulate Brother Qing. This retreat may bring you one step closer to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

Great Elder Yun Gu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This person's talent is truly terrifying, and he has even gained some insights.

"I have just entered the peak stage of the early Nascent Soul stage. I am afraid it will be difficult to make new breakthroughs in a short period of time."

After some greetings, Li Qing took Lu Ziming and left.

After leaving Xuhai Palace.

Lu Ziming couldn't help but ask, "Brother, did you find anything?"

In fact, he couldn't help but be moved before.

Lu Ziming practiced the art of puppetry, and just happened to need to collect the bodies of fourth-order demon kings to refine fourth-order spirit puppets, not to mention the opportunity to gain more territories.

On the black spirit boat, Li Qing's face was calm.

"The Golden Demon Country is not simple. According to my guess, the Golden Demon Country is far beyond the Zheng family's ability to contend with. This operation may be dangerous."

Lu Ziming's eyes moved slightly: "Brother, what you mean is that even if Xuhai Palace and the Zheng family join forces, it will be difficult to defeat the Golden Demon Kingdom?"

Li Qing nodded slightly.

In fact, he also knew that there were many opportunities in that battlefield now, and even those fourth-level demon kings were very attractive to Li Qing.

However, he doesn't really want to get involved in it for the time being.

Unless the situation becomes clear, or until his cultivation reaches the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

After he is promoted, with his cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and the secret technique of Kunpeng, he will be safe enough as long as he does not encounter any terrifying existence at the level of a great cultivator.

Even when facing a powerful fourth-order late-stage demon king, he could retreat calmly.

What's more, there is still the Water Witch Tribe's affairs to deal with.

"Brother, what are your plans for the follow-up?" Lu Ziming said seriously.

"When the time comes, our three factions can take turns arranging Nascent Soul cultivators to follow. Even if it's just for show, the three faction alliance should at least make its position clear."

"We don't need to fight for the illusory territory, nor do we need to go deep into the front battlefield to risk killing the demon king. We just need to stay in the rear, so that we can evacuate safely when we encounter danger."
-
Qianshui Yuling Sect.

After Li Qing and the others returned, the Yuan Beast Ancestor and the Fire Rock Ancestor also rushed to the Qianshui Yuling Sect at the same time.

In a meeting hall.

Li Qing sat in the first seat and told everyone what happened in Xuhai Palace.

“This is a good opportunity.”

The Yuan Beast Ancestor’s eyes lit up.

"With the joining of Xuhai Palace, the Golden Demon Nation will certainly be unable to resist. We can also take the opportunity to attack and kill the fourth-level demon king."

Even the old man Huoyan standing by seemed very excited.

“I have already declined this matter.”

Li Qing said calmly.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the two Yuan Beast Ancestors, Li Qing spoke again: "According to my guess, the Golden Demon Nation is quite powerful. Even if the Xuhai Palace and the Zheng Family join forces, it will be difficult to win."

The Yuan Beast Ancestor and the Huoyan Ancestor looked at each other.

A suddenly emerging Golden Demon Kingdom is even more terrifying than the Xuhai Palace and the Zheng family combined.

Even the two of them found it hard to believe such news.

However, they did not say anything more. Given the methods of this fellow Daoist Qing, it was obviously impossible to make a rash judgment.

"So what arrangements do you plan to make, Brother Qing?"

The Yuanying Patriarch said cautiously.

"Just keep going, but just follow and stay at the rear. If you encounter danger, you can leave calmly."

"Okay, we two will follow Brother Qing's arrangements."

The Origin Beast Ancestor nodded.

Anyway, I am not bringing any disciples with me on this trip, so it would be more convenient for me to go alone.

Knowing that Li Qing needed to go into seclusion, the Yuan Beast Ancestor volunteered to be the first to go to the Bianyu Sea.

After all, the remaining Lu Ziming and Old Ancestor Huoyan are both in the early Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation is higher.

In the Luoyun Sea area, the wind and clouds were agitated for a while.

An operation of such a large scale cannot be concealed.

Moreover, Xuhai Palace did not deliberately conceal the fact, but instead directly announced its alliance with the Zheng family.

All Nascent Soul forces knew that this was a demonstration by Xu Hai Palace. Even if Yuan Li Palace produced another powerful late Nascent Soul master in the future, Xu Hai Palace would have external support.

In the Xuhai Palace camp, a huge army of cultivators began to march towards the Bianyu Sea.

Two chapters in one, (I still owe three chapters, I can only make up for it when I am in a better state)
