Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1354 Seclusion, Choice
On an unknown, dark blue sea.

Thick, dark clouds rose in layers, forming an endless, heavy barrier of darkness that enveloped the heavens and the earth.

Rumble!
With a deafening roar, thick bolts of purple lightning, like spears piercing the heavens and earth, instantly tore through the layers of dark clouds.

Purple lightning illuminated the dark world below.

Through the collapsed barrier of dark clouds, one could vaguely see a young figure in a green robe slowly descending above several narrow islands in that dark world.

"I never expected that I would actually arrive at the Inner Star Sea - Yin Star Sea region through that spatial passage!"

Looking at the peculiar gray aura emanating from the surrounding world, a special map automatically appeared in Li Qing's mind - the Sea of ​​Dark Clouds.

This is a special sea area located in the Yin Star Sea, where the entire world is shrouded in dark clouds all year round, with continuous thunderstorms and the annihilation of all things.

"This place is quite suitable!"

Li Qing glanced around and nodded slightly.

This sea area is a place rarely visited by humans, remote and desolate, which is just right as his secluded cultivation place to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

"The Ji family patriarch has already perished, and the Ji family must have already completed their retreat before he took action!"

Thinking of this, a thoughtful look appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

As the people from the Sealed Heaven Realm departed, news of the War Against Heaven would quickly spread throughout the entire Star Sea world.

Without a doubt, a massive upheaval is about to occur.

For example, the vast sea areas previously occupied by the Water Emperor Sect, Yuan Yi Sword Tomb, Han Tian Sect, and Wuji Sect have all fallen into a state of being without a master. Such a huge sphere of influence will inevitably attract many top forces to participate in the struggle.

The same is true for the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea.

It could be even more brutal.

Neither the Golden Demon Kingdom nor the Ghost King Sect would give up this great opportunity for expansion.

As for the top Nascent Soul forces that originally held sway over various sea areas, they had only one option – to retreat.

Without the Ji family's presence to deter the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, the late-stage Nascent Soul experts behind those top Nascent Soul forces are completely unqualified to protect that vast sea area.

The great changes in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea are now a foregone conclusion.

That's why he never intended to go back.

With his current strength, he is not qualified to participate in that upheaval and conflict.

Only when he breaks through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm will he be qualified to plan everything that follows.

"Now it all depends on the attitude of the major powers in the Southern Moon Sea!"

Although the Ji family has retreated, it will certainly not be an easy task for the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect to completely annex the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea.

It depends more on the attitude of the other major powers, such as the super sect power - the Desolate Ancestor Palace - which is based in the central sea area, or the top powers in the Eastern Star Profound Sea.

The Golden Demon Kingdom needs no introduction; it is the pinnacle of the demon race. The Ghost King Sect, as a pinnacle of the demonic path, is not accepted by the orthodox cultivation world.

If these two top powers were to control the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea, it would directly pose a threat to the cultivation world in the central sea area and the Eastern Star Profound Sea.

"Now it's up to the various parties to play their games!"

A calm expression appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

He had already arranged everything when he made his escape.

The order was given to the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect to withdraw from the Bianyu Sea Area and head to the Central Sea Area. With the help of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, finding a suitable place to stay was a piece of cake.

In this way, the subsequent disputes can be completely avoided.

As for the subsequent arrangements, a decision will be made after he is promoted.

"It's not that there's no chance!"

A strange look appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

After the Ji family withdrew, the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea became a completely unclaimed land.

Once he reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, he will have enough confidence to participate in the power struggle over the division of the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea.

Although the Sea Lord has activated the sealing array eye of heaven and earth, the changes in heaven and earth cannot be completed in a short time.

The breaking of the seal between heaven and earth is also a long process.

For the time being, powerful cultivators at the Grand Master level will still be subject to various restrictions imposed by the rules of heaven and earth, which is undoubtedly good news for him.

He still has plenty of time to prepare for an even more brutal future landscape.

next moment.

Li Qing sat up cross-legged.

Each white jade banner, shaped like a feather fan, soared into the sky and fell in all directions. Whoosh! Whoosh! A sea of ​​clouds, resembling condensed white jade crystals, gathered and emerged.

This was an ordinary mid-grade fourth-order array in his possession, used only as a warning.

After setting up the formation, Li Qing began to carefully assess his own condition.

He has now reached the point of perfection in the Dao of Water Abyss. In addition, he has mastered six other branches of the power of the Great Dao of Water, which has undoubtedly deepened his understanding of the Great Dao of Water.

In addition, his powerful soul at the late Nascent Soul stage already gives him the confidence to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

The Tian Shui Lun Hai Dao Jing slowly turned around.

Within his dantian, an incomparably powerful and pure torrent of magical power surged forth. Under the wash of that vast power of the Great Dao, every strand of magical power appeared incredibly agile, faintly radiating an ancient water-based Dao essence.

"Under such a fortuitous opportunity, the Zhenhai Pearl did not react at all!"

As if remembering something, Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

Whether it was because of the Sea Lord, or because the Sealed Heaven Realm was the key to sealing the entire world, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl remained completely quiet throughout the entire process of him comprehending the power of the vast water system.

He initially thought that under such circumstances, Zhenhai Pearl would be unable to resist devouring the power of the water system of heaven and earth, but that scene did not occur.

Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

If the Zhenhai Pearl had truly forcibly absorbed the vast power of the Great Dao when the Heavenly Array Eye was unsealed, it might have attracted even more unpredictable dangers.

That Sea Lord has been keeping a close eye on the changes among the people in the Sealed Heaven Realm.

Once he attracts the other party's attention, he will be powerless to resist.

The Sea Lord lineage is different after all. As a lineage of enforcers left behind by the extraterrestrial human race, the Sea Lord must know more about the secrets of heaven and earth.

For this reason, he did not feel any regret.

Every drink and every bite is preordained.

He never focused solely on immediate improvements; compared to his future path, the temporary enhancement of the Zhenhai Pearl seemed less important.

"This is a perfect opportunity to revisit and reflect on what I've learned so far!"

Li Qing slowly closed his eyes.

He is still one opportunity away from his final promotion, which he needs to wait for.

The true meaning of the Way of the Vast Water Abyss was revealed once again, and a dark, deep abyss of water was revealed.
-
Bianyu Sea Area.

Deep within the forbidden area of ​​Thousand Domain Island.

Streaks of light, radiating immense pressure, shot into the sky.

In the core area of ​​the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect, streaks of light also rushed out rapidly, heading towards the council hall within the forbidden area.

What major event occurred today?

"Several patriarchs who had been in seclusion emerged one after another, and all the major peak masters also headed to the council hall within the forbidden area."

Within Thousand Domains Island, countless disciples of the Thousand Water Spirit Control Sect gazed towards the forbidden area.

At this moment, everyone looked shocked and puzzled.

Such a scene is extremely rare.

"Could it be that the Qingxuan Ancestor has returned to his sect?"

The news of the Earthly Fiends Ranking had already spread throughout the entire sect. All the disciples of the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect knew of the miracle of Ancestor Qingxuan, who defeated the Spirit Child of the Dao Spirit Sect and seized a spot on the Earthly Fiends Ranking. While countless disciples of the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect were secretly speculating...

In the meeting hall.

The entire core leadership of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect has been assembled.

Wearing a noble purple dress, Mu Ziyu stepped forward and looked at everyone with a solemn expression.

"My husband has ordered that the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect immediately withdraw from the Bianyu Sea!"

In an instant, all the core Golden Core elders of the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect were stunned, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

At this moment, Mu Ziyu's words continued.

"The Ji family patriarch has fallen, and the entire eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea is about to undergo a tremendous change. The Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect are bound to launch a full-scale counterattack."

The entire hall was dead silent.

Both Zong Jia and the other man, who had entered the Nascent Soul realm, looked horrified.

Having already entered the Nascent Soul realm, they naturally understood even better what level the Ji family patriarch was. He was not only a great cultivator, but also one of the most terrifying great cultivators in the entire Star Sea.

It is utterly unbelievable that such a being could perish.

But at this point, even faced with such shocking news, everyone had no choice but to accept it.

Because this is news from that Qingxuan Ancestor.

No one dared to, nor needed to, have any doubts.

"Time is of the essence, so I will not explain further to the elders for now!"

Mu Ziyu's attitude was decisive and firm: "One day!"

"Immediately notify all disciples of the sect to withdraw completely in one day. At least all disciples within the sect's headquarters must leave first."

"One day?"

The core elders looked on incredulously.

It should be noted that the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect now controls the core world of the entire Bianyu Sea Region, and there are many disciples stationed outside the sect. In just one day, let alone evacuating all the disciples, there is not even enough time to collect resources from the various spiritual lands.

"This matter needs no further discussion!"

Mu Ziyu's domineering attitude left no room for refusal.

"Within a single day, we will gather resources from all the valuable locations, discarding anything that cannot be collected."

It should be noted that the Bianyu Sea borders the Golden Demon Kingdom. Once the news of the Ji family patriarch's death spreads, the Golden Demon Kingdom will definitely mobilize all its forces, and at that time the entire Bianyu Sea will become a sitting duck.

The scene of the fall of the Bianyu Sea at the beginning of the ten-year catastrophe is still vivid in my mind, and the entire vast sea and sky have been completely turned into nothingness.

If we don't retreat in time, that scene will surely repeat itself.

"But! Sect Master, where should we retreat to?"

One of the elders, who was in charge of the lineage, couldn't help but speak up.

"My husband has made all the arrangements. We are evacuating towards the central sea area, and the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce has prepared a place for us to stay."

"Elder Qin, after collecting the accumulated opportunities at the Purple Wood Spiritual Land, need not return to the sect. Immediately lead the garrisoned disciples to retreat towards the Central Sea."

Without pausing for a moment, Mu Ziyu quickly and methodically arranged the entire sect's retreat plan.

After a while.

The core Golden Core elders didn't even have time for pleasantries before rushing out of the council hall to arrange the sect's evacuation.

Only Mu Ziyu, Lü Ziming, and a few other Nascent Soul True Monarchs remained in the main hall.

"May I ask, Sect Master, what major event has occurred? How could someone as powerful as the Ji family's patriarch have fallen so mysteriously?"

Zongjia couldn't help but ask.

"An unprecedented war against the heavens has erupted within the territory of the Sealed Heaven!"

"The Ji family patriarch led five great cultivators in a fierce battle against the Nascent Soul True Venerable—the Sea Lord—who was stationed in the Star Sea. In the end, the battle against the heavens was lost, and the Ji family patriarch and several other great cultivators all perished."

Mu Ziyu then revealed all the major events that had occurred.

Lu Ziming and the others all looked horrified.

No one expected that such a momentous event would occur at the place where that extraordinary opportunity was created.

After a moment, barely suppressing his inner turmoil, Lü Ziming took the initiative to speak: "Junior Sister, should we inform the Void Sea Palace and the Ice Extreme Palace of this news?"

After all, the two major sects and the Thousand Water Spirit Sect are blood allies, and their relationship is extraordinary.

"My husband has personally notified both major sects!"

Mu Ziyu nodded and said, "The news of the Ji family patriarch's death has not yet spread, so the top Nascent Soul forces still have plenty of time to react!"

"As for what choice they will make, that's up to them."

"Junior Sister, is there anything else that requires our personal attention?"

"Indeed, there are still a few remarkable treasure troves with a large amount of resources that have not yet been handed over to the sect. We need you senior brothers to go there and then lead them away."

The once thriving Thousand Domains Island suddenly underwent a tremendous change.

The order to retreat has been delivered to every disciple of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect.

Although countless disciples of the Thousand Water Spirit Control Sect are still unaware of the truth, all they can do is follow orders.

The empty skies above Thousand Domain Island.

Enormous spirit ships floated silently, an unprecedented atmosphere of tension enveloping the heavens and earth.
-
Luoyun Sea Area.

Within the forbidden area of ​​the Void Sea Palace.

A crimson rainbow radiating immense pressure descended directly into the depths of the forbidden area of ​​the Void Sea Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Hai, is this true?"

The old ancestor Huo Li, who had come in person, disregarded formalities and asked directly.

"Of course it's true!"

Ancestor Xuhai said with a solemn expression, "This is a message personally sent by Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, instructing us to prepare in advance!"

"That person actually perished?"

Even after it was confirmed again, Huo Li Ancestor still showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"In the war against the heavens, that person's opponent was a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Ancestor Xuhai shook his head: "It turns out our perception was correct. According to the information from that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, the Sea Lord took the initiative to activate the array eye of the Heaven-Sealing Realm, accelerating the unsealing of heaven and earth."

After a moment, the Fire Ancestor, who had already accepted the fact, spoke again: "What are the opinions of those fellow Daoists?"

"If we retreat now, we will preserve our strength, but we will completely lose the foundation of our sect, and we will probably have no chance to develop again. The competition in other worlds is just as fierce."

Ancestor Xu Hai also looked hesitant at this moment.

"The two fellow Daoists from Shuangyang Palace mean that we should immediately contact the three top powers in the Central Sea, mainly to see the attitude of the Desolate Ancestor Palace!"

"Currently, only a few major powers can stop the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect from annexing this land."

At this moment, Ancestor Huo Li also regained his composure.

"Very well, if the powerful forces like the Desolate Ancestor Palace are unwilling to intervene, we will have no choice but to give up and retreat!"

"Both the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect are quite far from our Luo Yun Sea Area. Even if they launch an attack rashly, both sides will have time to react."

"."

Soon, Ancestor Xuhai and Ancestor Huoli reached an agreement, agreeing with the Shuangyang Palace's proposal to immediately contact the Desolate Ancestor Palace to seek a new backer and resolve the crisis in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea.

"There's no time to lose, let's immediately inform those fellow cultivators."
