Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1369 Returning to the Clan
South Moon and Earth Sea.

Just as news of the great war in the Eastern World was stirring up this vast world.

Another equally shocking piece of news spread like wildfire from the central sea area.

Qingxuan Zhenjun, once hailed as the strongest prodigy and chosen one of destiny in the Southern Moon Sea, has advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and is about to hold his advancement ceremony.

In an instant, the entire vast world of the Southern Moon Sea was shaken, even briefly overshadowing the great war in the Eastern World.

These messages also spread rapidly throughout the entire Star Sea world at an unimaginable speed.

Although the seventy-two prodigies on the Earthly Fiends Ranking are hailed as the future of the Starry Sea human race, and everyone understands that the so-called late-stage Nascent Soul realm is merely a natural progression for those seventy-two individuals.

But no one could have predicted that someone would be promoted in such a short time.

It should be noted that only a few short years have passed since the end of the Heaven-Sealing Realm.

Moreover, that True Monarch Qingxuan can be said to have taken the lead, becoming the first person on the Earthly Fiends List to publicly advance to the late Nascent Soul stage. Such power makes his name shine even brighter.

at the same time.

The once obscure Falling Pearl Islands in the central waters of the South Moon Sea have suddenly become one of the most bustling areas in the entire South Moon Sea due to a grand promotion ceremony.

Just as the heated discussions outside the outside world were intensifying.

The new headquarters of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect is located deep within the forbidden area of ​​Falling Pearl Island.

In the meeting hall.

All the core members of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect gathered together.

"This time, the number of people is unprecedented!"

Li Qing smiled and looked at the people in the hall.

At this moment, all the core members of the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect were gathered together. Lu Ziming, who had a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, Zi Ling, Zong Jia, and Wu Ye, who had an early-Nascent Soul cultivation, and even the elusive Yan Yingjun, had all returned to the sect.

The remaining three were his two disciples – Guan Ming, He Yang, and Mu Ziyu.

"How could I, your junior brother, be absent from such an important event as Senior Brother's promotion ceremony!"

An awkward expression appeared on Yan Yingjun's plump face.

Although he has joined the sect, he rarely stays in the sect. He was even absent from the last major event of the sect's relocation.

"Having heard about the sect's relocation, Junior Brother was planning to return, but he was trapped in a restriction and thus couldn't return in time."

Seemingly to show Li Qing his attitude, Yan Yingjun quickly continued, "However, I have gained some insights from my travels over the years!"

In an instant, storage bags flew out and poured down into the main hall.

In an instant, all sorts of dazzling spiritual light filled the hall.

Seeing this, Lu Ziming and the others all showed surprise. Mu Ziyu's beautiful eyes lit up. As for the rare and precious items she recognized, almost every one of them had its own wonderful uses and could be considered a rare item.

Although the value of each individual natural treasure is limited, when combined, they constitute a vast resource.
"Senior brother, please look. This is a special spiritual substance called Qingzi Yuanye!"

Yan Yingjun proudly pointed to a blue jade pot treasure floating at the top.

Strands of cyan liquid, resembling the grain of ancient trees, flowed out from the jade pot.

"Although this item is of no benefit to our cultivation, it is an extremely rare spiritual treasure for Core Formation. Just one pot is enough to satisfy the needs of the sect's disciples for Core Formation for the next ten years, especially for disciples with wood-type spiritual roots, it can increase their success rate of Core Formation by as much as 30% to 40%."

"And this Heart of the Official Moon Fishman, once diluted, can not only purify the physical bodies of disciples within the sect, but also has other wonderful uses for disciples with water-elemental roots."

When talking about the many treasures floating inside the main hall, Yan Yingjun couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

"Senior brother, you may not know this, but when I travel, I always keep the sect in mind. If I hear of any treasures that are beneficial to the cultivation of the disciples, I will dig them up from the major sects even if it means digging three feet into the ground!"

Just as Yan Yingjun was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt several strange gazes, and then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Slip of the tongue!"

"It's a trade!"

"Because of this, Junior Brother has faced many assassination attempts!" As if remembering something, Yan Yingjun waved his hands repeatedly: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I've always kept my identity hidden when I'm out in public. I haven't been exposed, and I certainly won't tarnish your noble image."

Looking down at Yan Yingjun, who was talking non-stop, Li Qing couldn't help but shake his head with a light laugh.

After this promotion, he could clearly feel that even his fellow disciples, Lü Ziming and Mu Ziyu, had subtly changed their attitudes towards him, showing more respect.

But Yan Yingjun's attitude remained unchanged, which was truly amusing.

Thinking of the special bond between the two, Li Qing's smile deepened.

"I understand your sincerity, Junior Brother, but the path you have chosen is somewhat special. If you cause trouble in the future, just don't mention it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yingjun chuckled.

"Don't worry, senior brother. I would never reveal your identity unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing smiled and shook his head again.

In fact, his expectations for Yan Yingjun were higher than those for Lü Ziming and others. After all, the method he cultivated was ancient and powerful, and it was different from the traditional cultivation path in the world of immortals. His future potential was quite remarkable.

At this moment, he also noticed the aura emanating from Yan Yingjun. In just a few decades, he had approached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. If nothing unexpected happened, Yan Yingjun would be the second peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect.

"There is another important matter that I have summoned you here for."

Looking at everyone in the hall, Li Qing directly explained the follow-up plans one by one, which naturally included the matter of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

All of a sudden.

The once bustling hall became as if frozen in time, falling into complete silence.

The news came like a thunderbolt, leaving them all somewhat stunned.

Li Qing sat at the top, calmly observing the people in the hall.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already approached the pinnacle of this world, while the Thousand Water Spirit Control Sect, apart from him, could only be barely considered a powerful Nascent Soul force, a huge gap indeed.

The development of a sect often takes a long time. Even if he is willing to give his full support, it is difficult to enable the Thousand Water Spirit Sect to have the foundation of a truly top-notch Nascent Soul power in a short period of time.

Given his strength and status, the power he can mobilize is beyond what most people can imagine.

For him, the greatest significance of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect now lies in his identity.

For example, in the current Eastern Battlefield, he is participating in the battle of heaven and earth as a sect leader. No matter how weak the Thousand Water Spirit Sect is, it can openly control a region of heaven and earth for him.

If he were all alone, he would naturally not be able to openly monopolize a vast sea area.

"This time, the main force behind the operation is the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce and several other top-tier powers such as the Xuhai Palace. The Qianshui Yuling Sect only needs to participate through a trial."

"Junior brothers and sisters, and your two junior disciples, may make preparations in advance."

After giving his instructions, Li Qing told Lü Ziming and the others to go back and start making preparations.

Only Guan Ming and He Yang remained in the main hall.

"I haven't had a chance to congratulate Ming'er on advancing to the fourth-tier High Priest realm yet!"

Li Qing smiled as he looked at his eldest disciple.

At this moment, Guan Ming was dressed in a simple black robe, his aura was ethereal and concealed, and he blended into the surrounding space, appearing very low-key, which was quite in line with his own style.

While he was trying to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, Guan Ming successfully entered the fourth tier.

"It is all thanks to Master's guidance that I was able to successfully advance to the fourth-tier High Priest realm!"

Guan Ming bowed respectfully.

"I'm rather incompetent as a master," Li Qing said with a smile, shaking his head.

To be honest, since he took Guan Ming under his wing, he has only personally given him a handful of lectures, let alone devoted himself to cultivating him.

Of course, this was mainly because the path Guan Ming cultivated was the nearly extinct lineage of the Wu clan, a path completely different from his own, and he really couldn't give Guan Ming any guidance.

In addition, Guan Ming is very likely a reincarnator in the legend, and is naturally in sync with the way of the witch clan, so there is no need for him to deliberately guide him.

"Without my master's favor, I would still be just an ordinary sect disciple, how could I have reached this point? Besides, my master's wife has also put in a lot of effort for my cultivation."

Mu Ziyu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and said, "You two, master and disciple, don't be so modest with each other!"

"My husband and Ming'er have both advanced at the same time, which can be described as a double blessing. It would be a great story to see two people from the same family reach the Nascent Soul stage."

at the same time.

A hint of helplessness appeared on He Yang's handsome and flawless face: "Now only this disciple has disgraced Master's reputation."

"Junior brother, don't be impatient. You have the bloodline of an auspicious beast, so your cultivation will be smooth sailing from now on. You've just switched to cultivating the human race's inherited techniques, so you just need to get used to it," Guan Ming comforted him with a smile.

Li Qing smiled slightly: "You should know that back then, even I, your master, barely managed to form my core at the age of fifty-nine!" "Now, Yang'er has only been cultivating human cultivation techniques for a little over twenty years, and to be able to enter the Golden Core realm is already a rapid improvement."

In terms of cultivation speed, his two disciples far surpassed his own back then.

"Afterwards, you two might as well stay in the Central Sea with Ziyu. This great battle has a significant impact and is far more powerful than before. It just so happens that you have just advanced in rank and need time to cultivate."

Before Li Qing could finish speaking, Guan Ming took the initiative to bow and said, "Reporting to Master, this disciple also wishes to participate in this great battle!"

"Although my cultivation has been smooth so far, I have had very little contact with the outside world and have experienced very few battles. In the long run, this may not be conducive to my future cultivation!"

"Moreover, the way of the Witch Clan is to comprehend the heavens and earth. The methods cultivated by all living beings in the heavens and earth are all part of the heavens and earth. If the disciple can participate in them to the fullest, it will help to deepen his understanding of the heavens and earth!"

Just as Mu Ziyu was about to offer some words of comfort, Li Qing gently waved his hand and then slowly smiled and said, "Only by entering the world can one transcend it."

"This is indeed a rare opportunity, and you will surely reap great rewards if you participate!"

"However, before that, you need to consider one thing: if you are pursued by an enemy at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, can you survive?"

At this moment, Guan Ming smiled slightly and said, "Master, don't worry!"

"Although the Way of the Witch Clan is no longer the mainstream in this world, they still have many methods of fighting and killing. This disciple is confident!"

"In that case, do it your way!"

Seeing Li Qing nod, Guan Ming's smile widened: "This disciple also plans to take this opportunity to bring some of the tribe's witch warriors along to participate, so they can also gain some experience."

Just as Li Qing continued his conversation with his two disciples.

Lu Ziming reappeared in the main hall.

"Senior brother, the Grand Elders of the major powers in the Eastern Sea have all appeared, representing their respective sects to congratulate you on your promotion!"

Li Qing smiled slightly.

The so-called congratulations were just a pretense; the real purpose was probably to test his attitude.

"Let those elders in; it'll be a good opportunity to find out their thoughts."

As Mu Ziyu left with Guan Mingheyang.

After a while.

Led by Lü Ziming, the six figures slowly entered the main hall.

"Greetings, Ancestor Qingxuan!"

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Elder Yun Gu of the Void Sea Palace and Elder Liu Mu of the Azure Sky Sect, who were closest to Li Qing, stood at the head of the table and bowed to the others along with the other four.

At this moment, the elders of the top Nascent Soul forces, who once each controlled their own territory, all looked respectful. As for the complex emotions in their hearts, only they themselves knew.

In particular, Elder Yun Gu had personally witnessed the rise of the Qingxuan Ancestor to the point where he now had to look up to him.

"We're all old friends, no need to be so polite, please sit down!"

Looking at the familiar face of the six paths, Li Qing smiled and waved his hand.

"Ancestor Xuhai needs to stay at the front line and has specially entrusted me to convey his congratulations to the Ancestor!"

Elder Yun Gu held up his hands, and a special spiritual pearl shaped like a water droplet slowly emerged.

"This item is the essence of the desolate water treasured by the Void Sea Palace. It is the best top-tier water-based spiritual material in the world for refining water-based magic treasures. I hope the Ancestor will accept it!"

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xu Hai and the Grand Elder!"

Li Qing smiled and nodded, while Lü Ziming stepped forward to accept the gift.

at the same time.

Elder Liu Mu and others also began to convey their congratulations to their respective ancestors, as well as the rare and top-tier water-based spiritual treasures they had specially prepared as gifts.

"It seems that after this promotion celebration, all the treasures for reforging the Heavenly Water Dao Disc and the Heavy Water Law Theory will be collected!"

Li Qing smiled inwardly.

He had originally planned to have the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce help him collect them, but now it seems he doesn't need them at all.

The rare and precious items that major powers can offer are naturally not ordinary.

After a series of gifts and compliments.

Elder Yun Gu and the others remained silent, but their gazes were far from calm, clearly indicating that they were hesitant to speak directly.

Seeing this, Li Qing smiled faintly: "I already know the purpose of the elders' visit!"

"As a member of the Eastern Seas, I will naturally not stand idly by and watch the creatures of the Eastern Seas suffer; I will also do my part."

For a moment, Elder Yun Gu and the others were stunned, and then their faces showed excitement.

They never expected to receive an answer so quickly, and such an ideal answer at that.

This Qingxuan Ancestor was actually willing to take the risk and participate in the cataclysm in the Eastern World.

Before they came, not only did they themselves not have much hope, but even the elders behind them did not hold out much hope.

After all, the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect has already relocated, actively avoiding the catastrophe in the Eastern World. With the advancement of this Qingxuan Ancestor, with his current status and strength, he can easily obtain a cultivation treasure land in any world, without having to wade into the muddy waters of the Eastern World.

Unexpectedly, this person was actually willing to risk his life.

"What is the attitude of you fellow Daoists now?"

Li Qing spoke up first.

"Reporting to Ancestor Qingxuan, Ancestor Xuhai and the others do not intend to give up easily!"

Elder Yun Gu smiled bitterly as he spoke: "However, the current situation is not very good. It seems that the Desolate Ancestor Palace wants to take the initiative to negotiate with the Golden Demon Kingdom. The elders can only wait and see what attitude the Desolate Ancestor Palace will take!"

"However, if the Ancestor joins, the situation will definitely be different!"

An excited look appeared in the eyes of the Grand Elder of Yun Gu: "With the Ancestor's methods and strength, plus the power of the Desolate Ancestor Hall and the four sea regions, we can definitely turn the tide of the battlefield in the Bianyu Sea Region. Even if we have to negotiate, we will be able to take the initiative!"

He genuinely believed in the methods of the person before him.

Even though this Qingxuan Ancestor has just been promoted, he is far beyond the reach of ordinary demon kings. He is a top performer on the Earthly Fiend Ranking and is recognized as the strongest prodigy and chosen one of destiny in the Southern Moon Sea.

Moreover, when the last ten-year catastrophe broke out, he had just advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but this did not prevent this ancestor from killing countless demon kings, fighting against top-tier demon king powerhouses, and ultimately becoming the lord of the Bianyu Sea Region.

On the other side, Li Qing turned his gaze to Elder Liu Mu.

"The Azure Sky Sect and the Twin Yang Palace are already..."

Elder Liu Mu glanced at the Elder of Shuangyang Palace, and seeing that the other did not speak, he continued in a heavy tone: "However, the attitudes of Xiaotian Sect and Changqing Valley are even more ambiguous. Not only have they abandoned Haoming Sea Area, but they are also not very interested in continuing to establish a defensive line in Shuangyang Sea Area!"

"Moreover, the Qingyang Ancestor's partner has already suffered severe injuries and is no longer capable of fighting!"

The group of people, who had been excited, all turned serious at the same time.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of Shuangyang Palace stated resolutely, "As long as we have the strength to fight, Shuangyang Palace will not back down. This is also the intention of Ancestor Qingyang!"

After hearing their statements, Li Qing nodded deeply.

It seems that Ancestor Xuhai and the others are still very determined and will not back down or give up because of the current setbacks.

Clearly, they had made thorough preparations before taking action.

Now, only the final step remains.

"With the elders' attitude, I feel relieved!"

Li Qing then smiled slightly and said, "Elders, why don't you stay a little longer? Perhaps you'll see some new surprises at the later parts of the celebration."

"surprise?"

Elder Yun Gu and the others stared intently at Li Qing.

"Could it be that this Ancestor Qingxuan has a new ally?"

"It's not impossible. Although this person has only recently been promoted, his reputation far surpasses that of the patriarch and others."

In an instant, the group's faces lit up with excitement once again.

Given the status of this Qingxuan Ancestor, how could he easily utter such words?

"Junior Brother Lü, please take the elders to settle down and rest."
