Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1370 Promotion Ceremony
Luozhu Island.

This ordinary sea area, located in a corner of the central sea, has now become the focus of global attention.

Representatives from numerous powerful sects and families rapidly converged on Luozhu Island.

In an instant, the vast torrent of light from the spirit boat nearly filled the entire world.

The reason for this grand scene is, of course, an upcoming promotion ceremony.

At this moment, the vast central area of ​​the island.

Several sacred peaks were leveled, revealing a vast plaza paved with ancient green jade between heaven and earth.

Rows of white jade tables are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner across the entire Qingyu Square.

Looking down.

Outside the Jade Plaza, figures radiating immense power began to appear, with almost every jade table representing a formidable and powerful force.

At this level of promotion ceremony.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are no longer qualified to enter Qingyu Square.

Congratulations to your sect's Qingxuan Ancestor on his successful advancement!

"Welcome, fellow Daoists."

Above the sky, Lü Ziming, Yan Yingjun, and the others each received the massive figures of light that kept descending.

at the same time.

Inside the main hall deep within the forbidden area of ​​Luozhu Island.

A discussion that could determine the future landscape of the vast eastern sea area of ​​the Southern Moon Sea is underway.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, on advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage."

The Earth Barbarian True Lord, representing the Desolate Ancestor Hall, and the two Grand Elders of the Evergreen Valley Howling Sky Sect offered their brief congratulations.

Their attitude was naturally not as enthusiastic as that of the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, after all, they were representing the three top forces in the Central Sea Region behind them.

at the same time.

All three of them also sensed a peculiar atmosphere.

Besides the three of them, there were also three figures from the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce outside the main hall.

The Earth Barbarian True Lord gazed ahead.

The main character in the hall was dressed in a simple blue Taoist robe and sat at the head of the table. His young and calm face revealed a hint of indifference.

Although the other party had just been promoted, they already had the qualifications to be on equal footing with the three of them.

Even in terms of prestige, the name of True Lord Qingxuan is above the three of them.

For some unknown reason, a sense of melancholy arose in the heart of the Earth Barbarian True Lord.

Thinking back to their first meeting, the other party was just a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had just caught his eye. Although he was quite talented, he was not yet worthy of his attention.

In just over thirty years, everything has undergone earth-shattering changes.

This Qingxuan True Lord is now a true late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

This scene gave him a sense of the vicissitudes of life.

For a cultivator of his level, thirty years was nothing more than a simple period of secluded meditation.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan specially invited me and the two elders to come here. Could it be that there is something important to discuss?"

As the Earth Barbarian True Lord took the initiative to speak.

Elder Yunqing of Changqing Valley also looked at Li Qing with an indifferent expression.

Although there had been some friction between the two sides in the past, the person in front of him was now in a different position, so he ultimately chose to come in person.

"To be honest, my reason for inviting you three to come early is because of an important matter!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and directly stated his purpose.

"After all, I come from the Eastern Sea Region, and I cannot stand idly by and watch the people of that land suffer. Therefore, I wish to do my part!"

Upon hearing this, the three Earth Barbarian True Lords looked slightly surprised, but did not show much emotional fluctuation.

"So Fellow Daoist Qingxuan wants to join the battlefield!"

Earth Barbarian True Monarch chuckled first, then said with a hint of deeper meaning, "First of all, this is naturally a great thing for the entire battlefield. With Fellow Daoist Qingxuan's abilities, it will definitely be a great help!"

"However, as you should already know, the current battlefield situation means that neither of the two battlefield defense lines has the strength to launch a counterattack in the short term!"

Elder Yunqing of Changqing Valley and Elder Fengyuan of Xiaotian Sect sat quietly in their original positions without saying a word.

The meaning of the Earth Barbarian True Lord couldn't be clearer.

Whether or not a counterattack will occur depends on the attitudes of the three most powerful forces.

Now, they are already in secret contact with the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, hoping to reach a new peace agreement through negotiations. Naturally, they cannot launch a counterattack rashly at this time.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Di Man, I am perfectly aware of the situation in the Eastern World!"

Li Qing smiled and nodded.

"That's why I want to take this opportunity to contribute and help the cultivation world in the Eastern Realm turn the tide and thwart the ambitions of the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

In an instant, the three Earth Barbarian True Monarchs looked at Li Qing again, their eyes revealing a peculiar expression.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan intends to reverse the defeat on both battlefields with a single blow?"

Elder Yunqing asked in a cold tone.

"Not so!" Li Qing shook his head with a smile, completely unconcerned. "Besides myself, fellow Daoists Xue Guang and others also couldn't bear to see the catastrophe in the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven and were willing to lend a helping hand!"

At this moment, the three members of the Earth Barbarian True Monarch's group finally lost their composure.

They never expected that this True Monarch Qingxuan would secretly win over the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

"Are you fellow cultivators also willing to participate?"

Elder Feng Yuan of the Xiaotian Sect looked astonished.

Among the three top powers, Xiaotian Sect has the closest relationship with Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally knows the three families very well.

Under the control of the three major families, the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce has always been developing and growing steadily.

Unexpectedly, the attitude of the three major families suddenly changed dramatically, and they took the initiative to participate in the conflicts of that level, which was clearly inconsistent with the usual style of the three major families.

"Indeed, the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce is willing to stand with Fellow Daoist Qingxuan through thick and thin!"

As Elder Xue Guang took the initiative to express his opinion, the three members of the Earth Barbarian True Monarch were simultaneously shocked.

Only then did they realize that they had greatly underestimated the abilities of this True Monarch Qingxuan. They never expected that this person, who had just been promoted, had already secretly won over the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

In particular, the phrase "advance and retreat together" directly reveals the attitude and choices of the three major families.

"Impressive!"

The Earth Barbarian True Lord was secretly shocked.

It should be noted that the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce alone has ten late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, not including some late-stage Nascent Soul experts who have close cooperation with the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce or even become its worshippers.

Without a doubt, the combined power of the Azure Profound True Monarch and the Dao Source Chamber of Commerce alone is enough to influence or even change the course of the Eastern World War.

"What price did this person pay to make the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce willingly take such a huge risk to join the battlefield?"

Just as the Earth Barbarian True Lord was lost in thought.

Li Qing's calm voice rang out again.

"The Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect are still harboring evil intentions, and they dream of swallowing up the entire cultivation world in the Eastern Heaven. I and the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce are willing to join forces to stop their ambitions!"

"The purpose of inviting these three fellow Daoists here is to gain the support of your sect!"

"Leave the major battles to us!"

At this moment, the three members of the Earth Barbarian True Monarch finally realized what was happening.

The purpose of this True Monarch Qingxuan is to fight against the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect alone, and even excludes these three top forces.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan has great ambitions!"

Elder Yunqing of Changqing Valley suddenly focused his gaze, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

How dare a mere junior try to interfere with the decisions of the three top powers? This is simply a provocation against the three top powers.

Elder Feng Yuan of the Xiaotian Sect, who was standing to the side, also had a cold expression on his face.

He naturally saw through the scheme of this True Monarch Qingxuan, who wanted to take the opportunity to kick out the three top forces and control the Eastern Heaven and Earth Immortal Cultivation World alone with the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Logically speaking, even if a new peace agreement is reached based on their bottom line in negotiations with the Ghost King Sect of the Golden Demon Kingdom, the remaining benefits in the Eastern World will be minimal, and the benefits that the three sects can share will be even less.

The three top powers wouldn't care too much about this part of the benefits.

But right now, the most crucial thing is not profit, but face.

How could a junior interfere with the arrangements made by the three top powers?

The atmosphere inside the hall immediately became solemn.

Seeing the reactions of the two elders from Xiaotian Sect and Changqing Valley, the three of them, including Elder Xue Guang, also looked grave. The situation did not seem to be going as smoothly as they had imagined.

The next moment, the three of them couldn't help but look ahead.

But the young cultivator in the green robe remained calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face, seemingly oblivious to the changes around him.

Seeing this, the three of them felt a little more at ease.

"It's truly a difference in levels. Even our three great families wouldn't dare to negotiate face-to-face with the three top powers like this." Ancestor Xue Guang's admiration deepened.

at the same time.

Li Qing ignored Changqing Valley and Xiaotian Sect, and instead turned his gaze to Diman Zhenjun.

"What is your opinion, Fellow Daoist Di Man?"

"Logically speaking, this should be a great thing, and our three major sects no longer need to get involved!"

Earth Barbarian True Monarch continued to look intently at Li Qing and asked, "However, I am quite curious about Fellow Daoist Qingxuan's confidence."

"The Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect are not as simple as they seem on the surface. On the surface, the Golden Demon Kingdom has a powerful late-stage fourth-order demon king, and the Ghost King Sect probably has hidden methods as well."

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, are you truly so confident?"

In an instant, Elder Yunqing and Elder Li Qing also reacted at the same time, their eyes fixed on Li Qing.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Di Man!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "Since I have made such a decision, I have naturally made full preparations."

"As long as the three elders and your sect are willing to publicly support us, we will take responsibility for everything that follows!"

Looking at Li Qing's calmness and confidence at this moment.

The three members of the Earth Barbarian True Lord were simultaneously overwhelmed with emotion.

Although nothing was explicitly stated, it was quite clear to them that this True Monarch Qingxuan and the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce had the confidence to face both the late-stage Nascent Soul experts from the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom.

"Moreover, this is entirely beneficial to your clan!"

Li Qing smiled slowly and said, "Even if our operation ultimately fails, it will weaken the strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, preventing them from growing rapidly!"

"If we are victorious, it will be an even greater benefit to your sect. Not only will we be able to preserve the cultivation world in the Eastern Realm, but we will also be able to greatly suppress the rise of the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom."

"The Eastern Realm lacks a powerful cultivator to oversee it, and we will need your sect's support in the future!"

Silence returned to the main hall.

Elder Yunqing, who had previously displayed a cold and stern expression, had now fallen silent, though his constantly shifting gaze revealed that his heart was far from calm.

As the other party said, this operation is definitely a great thing for the three top powers in the Central Sea. The three sects took the initiative to support the cultivation world in the Eastern Heaven and Earth from the beginning because they were worried that the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom would threaten the Central Sea in the future.

Now, if the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce and this Qingxuan True Monarch personally intervene, regardless of victory or defeat, it will be a huge drain on the strength of the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

As for the original issue of saving face, that issue no longer exists at all.

The reason is simple: this True Monarch Qingxuan has the confidence to deal with two terrifyingly powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time.

The source of this confidence is self-evident.

Without a powerful cultivator in charge, it can be said that apart from the Desolate Ancestor Palace, even their Xiaotian Sect and Changqing Valley would be unable to withstand the power behind this Qingxuan True Monarch and the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

"Unbeknownst to us, this person has actually grown to this level!"

Elder Yunqing felt an unprecedented sense of dread.

Although the sealing of heaven and earth is accelerating, it is still far from the time when great cultivators can act recklessly. If the patriarch of Changqing Valley is unwilling to take action, the entire Changqing Valley will be unable to contend with him.

Thinking of this, Elder Yunqing felt a chill run down his spine.

The other party may seem to have just been promoted, but in reality, they already possess the strength to transcend the rules and order of heaven and earth.

"What do you three think of this suggestion?"

Li Qing spoke slowly with a faint smile.

"Since it's a win-win situation, our Desolate Ancestral Hall has no reason to refuse!"

Earth Barbarian True Lord continued with a sigh, "I hope Fellow Daoist Qingxuan will have smooth sailing in the future and lead the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven and Earth to restore peace as soon as possible."

If the negotiation plan of the three major forces is followed, the best outcome would be if the Eastern World could retain at most three major sea areas.

Unexpectedly, the situation has suddenly changed, and this Qingxuan True Monarch has single-handedly ruined the plans of the three top forces.

"The Earthly Fiend Ranking! Truly, the new generation surpasses the old."

at the same time.

"Evergreen Valley agrees as well."

With the two elders of Xiaotian Sect and Changqing Valley expressing their views one after another, this discussion, which was about to change the landscape of the cultivation world in the East, finally came to an end with an outcome that exceeded the plans of the three top forces.

"Thank you for the support of the three fellow Daoists and your esteemed sect. We will still need to rely on your sect's prestige in the future."

"Since it is my promotion ceremony, why don't the three elders accompany me?"
-
In the center of Luozhu Island.

Behind the pristine white jade tables surrounding the ancient, simple, and expansive square, powerful Nascent Soul cultivators from all directions were already seated.

Looking around, most of them are mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators at their peak.

"Welcome, Ancestor Qingxuan!"

The disciples of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect stationed in various corners of the island knelt down and paid their respects.

Voices filled with pride and excitement converged into a torrent that surged between heaven and earth.

From this day forward, the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect will be a top-tier Nascent Soul power.

The advancement of the sect's level is undoubtedly closely related to every disciple of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect.

Every disciple of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect yearns for a new and limitless future, and they have no doubt that under the leadership of Ancestor Qingxuan, the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect will reach new heights of glory.

at the same time.

All the Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the Jade Square rose and bowed simultaneously.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Li Qing, the Earth Barbarian True Lord, and two others appeared simultaneously in the heavens and earth.

"Is that the Grand Elder of Evergreen Valley? And the Grand Elder of Howling Sky Sect?"

Even the Desolate Ancestor Palace, the only super sect in the Southern Moon Sea, has sent that Earth Barbarian True Monarch.

"Aren't those three behind the patriarchs of the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce?"

For a moment, many Nascent Soul True Monarchs were shocked.

The major Nascent Soul forces, especially those in the Central Sea, were deeply shocked.

As the core sea area of ​​the Southern Moon Sea, the Central Sea has seen many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators advance, but such a scene has never occurred before.

The de facto controllers of the three top powers in the central sea area all made a personal appearance.

Although that Earth Barbarian True Lord was not the Grand Elder of the Desolate Ancestor Hall, he was the new ruler within the Desolate Ancestor Hall.

"Is this the formidable reputation of True Monarch Qingxuan?"

"Looking across the entire Southern Moon Sea, who else possesses such power and prestige?"

At this moment, the young figure in the green robe standing in mid-air resembled a towering mountain, bringing boundless awe to everyone.

Meanwhile, the Earth Barbarian True Lord and others fell onto the central, noble jade table.

Those who came to participate in the promotion celebration discovered that everything was just beginning.

"Second Elder Cangmeng of Yunmeng Sect has arrived!"

Wisps of mist and dreamlike waves descended from the sky, then slowly dissipated.

An elderly man in white robes, accompanied by another woman in a white dress who had once traveled with Li Qing into the Sealed Heaven Realm, gracefully descended.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, on advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you two to come in person!"

Li Qing stepped forward with a smile to return the greeting.

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

Qimeng Zhenjun bowed slightly, as if he were a junior.

"Fellow Daoist Qimeng, there's no need to be so polite!"

Li Qing waved his hand gently, and a vast aura lifted True Monarch Qimeng up: "With Fellow Daoist Qimeng's talent, it will probably be long before you complete your advancement. We are both fellow Daoists on the Earthly Fiend Ranking, why bother with this!"

Elder Cangmeng exclaimed with admiration, "I never expected that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan would have already advanced just a few years after the Sealed Heaven Realm opportunity ended. This shows that Fellow Daoist's foundation far surpasses that of Qimeng!"

Qi Meng Zhenjun, standing to the side, appeared rather calm at this moment.

She had personally witnessed the performance of the person in front of her after entering the Sealed Heaven Realm. Unlike most of the people on the Earthly Fiend Ranking, this person dared to directly enter the core world of the Sealed Heaven Realm and compete with various Nascent Soul stage experts for opportunities.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan is now the first person on the Earthly Fiends Ranking to reach the late Nascent Soul stage."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two from Mengyun Sect landed in Qingyu Square.

After a while.

"Elder Zhiyue of the Chaoyue Sect has arrived."

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

The other three peak forces in the Southern Moon Sea, all late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, appeared one after another.

In an instant, all the top forces in the entire Southern Moon Sea gathered together.

This scene once again shocked the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the periphery.

Only now did they truly understand the status of Qingxuan Zhenjun, who was previously hailed as the number one prodigy and chosen one of destiny in the Southern Moon Sea.

Not long after, Li Qing began to receive two special guests.

"Greetings, Ancestor Qingxuan. Yuanxu is currently in seclusion and unable to come in person, so he specifically asked me to come and offer my congratulations."

"Senior Brother Tuze is also in seclusion."

Within the Earth Yang Alliance, Jiang Yuanxu and Tu Ze, who were closest to Li Qing, arranged for Nascent Soul cultivators from their respective families and sects to personally come from the Inner Star Sea.

Besides, among the other eight members of the Earthly Yang Alliance, apart from the ever-silent and unassuming Burial Spring True Lord, the others, including Yuanzhao True Lord, also proactively congratulated Li Qing on his promotion through their respective communication talismans.

After a while.

With the arrival of several top Nascent Soul cultivators from the Central Sea Region, the originally spacious Jade Square now appeared somewhat crowded.

But just as the final ascension hall was about to open.

Another guest appeared, which surprised Li Qing somewhat.

"The Astrological Palace's Star Child Chenyan has come specifically to congratulate Fellow Daoist Qingxuan on his advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

A mysterious starlight descended from the sky.

Chen Yan appeared, dressed in an ancient silver star-patterned Taoist robe.

at the same time.

Chen Yan's appearance attracted countless gazes, and even a group of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators showed expressions of curiosity.

The reputation of the Astrological Palace is quite unique in the vast world of the starry sea.

At this moment, only the Earth Barbarian True Monarch's eyes flickered slightly on the Jade Plaza.

"According to the Two Ancestors, the Astrological Palace is extremely mysterious and would never easily contact the outside world. Could it be that this Star Child has other plans?"

the other side.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Chen Yan to come in person!"

A strange light flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

He couldn't help but recall his past interactions with this astrologer.

This person took the initiative to befriend him and even revealed that the astrological palace controlled many secrets of heaven and earth.

"For such an important event as Fellow Daoist Qingxuan's advancement, how could Chen Yan not be present in person!"

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Now that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan has entered the late Nascent Soul stage, with your outstanding talent, the Great Cultivator stage shouldn't be too far away. We should still keep in touch more often in the future."

Faced with Chen Yan's pointed remark, Li Qing smiled and nodded: "That's only right!"

Two hours later.

As Mu Ziyu walked into Qingyu Square, the promotion ceremony officially began.

"Thank you to all fellow Daoists, elders, and ancestors for attending the ascension ceremony of Ancestor Qingxuan of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect. Ancestor Qingxuan returned to the sect during its time of crisis, leading the entire sect to continuous glory."

Then, another unusual scene began to unfold.

"The Desolate Ancestor Palace congratulates True Monarch Qingxuan on his advancement, presenting two ten-thousand-year-old Pure Jade Bamboos as a gift. The Howling Sky Sect's gift—Meteorite Frost Crystal."

"A Gift from the Xue Family of Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce - Heart of Water Ripples"

The appearance of each treasure caused a great deal of astonishment among the Nascent Soul cultivators.

In particular, the gifts from the top powers were enough to make any Nascent Soul stage expert tempted.

"I never expected that the Desolate Ancestral Hall would contain such a ten-thousand-year-old Pure Jade Bamboo!"

Li Qing was also all smiles at this moment.

Once one's strength and status reach a certain level, all sorts of rare and precious treasures will naturally come to them.

Amidst a joyous and enthusiastic atmosphere, the promotion ceremony gradually came to a close.

At this moment.

Amidst the attention of the crowd, the figure in the green robe, seated at the very center of Qingyu Square as the protagonist of the ascension ceremony, slowly rose and walked into the center of Qingyu Square.

The two elders of the three top forces in the central sea area, who had been sitting quietly, and the Earth Barbarian True Monarch also stood up.

"Since all of you fellow Daoists are here, I would also like to take this opportunity to announce something."
