Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1371 Arrangement
Luozhu Island.

A highly anticipated promotion ceremony has come to a close.

But news of everything that happened during the promotion ceremony spread like wildfire.

The entire southern lunar land and sea trembled.

A celebration for advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage has attracted all the top forces in the Southern Moon Sea to gather and offer their congratulations.

Of course, what truly shocked the world was another piece of news.

As the protagonist of the ascension ceremony, Qingxuan Zhenjun openly decided to return to the turbulent Eastern World to turn the tide.

Meanwhile, the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, which has a far-reaching influence throughout the entire Southern Moon Sea, announced that Qingxuan Zhenjun was one of the eight pavilion masters of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the entire Chamber of Commerce would fully support Qingxuan Zhenjun's decision.

As for the three top powers in the central sea area, they all expressed their support.

This news was like a thunderclap, exploding throughout the entire Southern Moon Sea and sparking endless heated discussions.

No one expected that the newly promoted True Monarch Qingxuan would possess such courage, choosing to risk his life in the face of such a life-or-death crisis in the Eastern Heaven and Earth Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, it received full support from the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, which has always been a neutral force.

In an instant, the Eastern World once again became the focus of attention in the Southern Moon Sea World, and even attracted the attention of countless powerful sects in the Inner Star Sea.

Besides wanting to witness the final outcome of the cultivation world in the Eastern Realm, they also wanted to understand what gave the newly promoted Azure Profound True Monarch the confidence and strength to choose to confront the Ghost King Sect of the Golden Demon Kingdom head-on.

Unlike other sea areas and lands.

The cultivation world in the Eastern Realm was in an unprecedented uproar and excitement.

The decision announced by the Qingxuan Ancestor injected a powerful boost into the chaotic and panicked Eastern World.

Compared to the outside world, the cultivation world in the Eastern Realm has a deeper understanding of the prestige and methods of Ancestor Qingxuan.

During the last ten-year catastrophe, Qingxuan Zhenjun, who was only in the mid-Nascent Soul stage at the time, made great contributions and left behind countless dazzling achievements.

Not to mention that the current Qingxuan True Monarch has become the Qingxuan Ancestor, entered the late Nascent Soul stage, and has also received full support from the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

While the entire Southern Moon Sea was still buzzing with discussions about the promotion ceremony.

Deep within the headquarters of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

A massive black spirit boat, its aura completely concealed and merging into the void, soared into the sky through layers of restrictions.

Inside the spirit boat, several figures exuding immense power sat quietly.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please take a look!"

Ancestor Xue Guang waved his hand.

A colorful disc exuding an ancient and timeless aura slowly emerged.

"This is the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce's most prized treasure - the Great Five Elements Heaven-Slaying Formation!"

"Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our three families, this grand formation has reached the pinnacle of the fourth-tier formation level."

Seeing the confident smiles on the faces of the Xue family patriarch and the others, Li Qing also looked towards the five-colored disc.

On the disc, there were five sides, each corresponding to one of the five elements.

In the center of the cyan area is a light cyan spirit pearl. Upon closer inspection, the spirit pearl seems to be nurturing a real wood-type world, with an unimaginable ancient spirit wood forest growing wildly inside.

Even though the seal around the pale blue spirit orb has not yet been broken, one can still faintly sense that it contains almost endless wood-elemental power.

Within the central earthen-yellow area, within the spirit pearl, lies an endless, desolate ancient mountain range. Within the golden spirit pearl, there is a colossal golden peak formed from countless golden weapons of various shapes.

"The three major families truly live up to their reputation as the controllers of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce; the resources they have accumulated are terrifying!"

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

Although he had not cultivated the art of array formations, he could still sense the power of this great array.

The power contained within the five spirit orbs that form the core of the formation is unimaginable.

"Once the Grand Five Elements Trapping Heaven Formation is set up and activated, it can evolve into five worlds of the five elements, connecting heaven and earth. Once living beings in heaven and earth are trapped within it, they will be obliterated by the endless power of the five elements."

Ancestor Xue Guang confidently stated, "Although that number one swordsman of the demonic path is incredibly powerful and has comprehended the Sword Soul Realm, it's wishful thinking for him to break through the great formation!"

"Seeing how confident you fellow Daoists are, I feel relieved!"

Li Qing nodded and then spoke again, reminding them, "However, the Ghost King Sect may have a Ghost Spirit expert at the peak of the late fourth stage. Fellow Daoists, you still need to be careful!"

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, rest assured, we were prepared!"

"To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we have invited three fellow Daoists with the five elements attributes to assist us through the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce. Together with the seven members from our three major families, it can be said that each array core has two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the same attribute presiding over it, which can maximize the power of this great array."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but chuckle.

Only now did he understand the source of the confidence of Elder Xue Guang and the others.

This grand formation is an ancient, top-tier fourth-order formation, and it is controlled by ten Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators of the same attribute. Even if a peak fourth-order late-stage ghost spirit appears within the Ghost King Sect, it would be difficult to deal with them.

At this moment, Li Qing also sensed the vast network of relationships behind the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

It should be noted that this operation involves confronting a top-tier power with a Grand Master-level expert in charge. Under such a dangerous situation, the fact that the three major families were able to invite three Nascent Soul stage cultivators with five elemental attributes from outside demonstrates the strength of the entire Chamber of Commerce.

"In addition, all branches of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce have begun to simultaneously dispatch a large number of Five Elements spiritual resources to converge in the Shuangyang Sea. A large number of array masters are also on their way to continue to bless each array eye."

As it turned out, Li Qing's reminder was somewhat unnecessary.

The three major families were far more cautious than he had anticipated.

In order to enhance the power of the grand formation, they spared no expense, using countless spiritual objects of the five elements to forcibly build an even thicker foundation for the grand formation.

"With the meticulous arrangements of these fellow Daoists, the Ghost King Sect's ambitions are likely to remain mere wishful thinking!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "Furthermore, fellow Daoists do not need to worry about achieving great results. Just hold off the Ghost King Sect's offensive, and leave the rest to me!"

As long as the three major families held off the Ghost King Sect's offensive, he would have no worries on the battlefield of the Golden Demon Kingdom.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, you can rest assured!"

Ancestor Xue Guang revealed a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "As long as that Ghost King Sect Grandmaster doesn't personally take action, what do our three great families have to fear!"

Even though they had already made their choice, the three families would naturally no longer hesitate or shrink back.

"Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan might consider transferring Fellow Daoist Junmu and Fellow Daoist Qingyang to the battlefield of the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

Ancestor Xue Guang said solemnly, "Furthermore, the three fellow Daoists from the Gu, Wang, and Ming families within the Chamber of Commerce will also accompany you to the battlefield of the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

"In this way, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan will also have ten late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators under his command, so even if they face the Golden Demon Kingdom head-on, they will not be at a disadvantage."

"As for the Ghost King Sect battlefield, we three great families can take charge of it. Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please feel free to act."

Qin Hua and the others nodded solemnly at the same time.

They all understood that the one who truly determined the final outcome of the Eastern Heaven and Earth War was not them, but the Azure Mystic True Lord before them.

Even if the Ghost King Sect had two or three more late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators on the battlefield, it would be to no avail; they would not be able to launch a counterattack against the Ghost King Sect.

Ultimately, the grand formation only allows them to hold onto one side of the territory.

Only the Azure Mystic True Lord before us is the sole leader of the entire Eastern Battlefield.

Faced with the sincere attitude of the three major families, Li Qing slowly stood up and bowed to them: "Fellow Daoists, rest assured, the final victor in this great battle will surely be us!"

"We naturally trust Fellow Daoist Qingxuan."
-
Shuangyang Sea Area.

With the collapse of the Haoming Sea Defense Line, the entire sea area was plunged into unprecedented turmoil.

Countless sects and families migrated to the rear of Shuangyang Sea in search of protection.

Perhaps because the Ghost King Sect is currently preoccupied with the complete occupation of the Haoming Sea and has no time to spare, or perhaps because it is secretly negotiating with the three top forces in the Central Sea, the Ghost King Sect has not launched a full-scale invasion of the Shuangyang Sea.

Luocan Islands.

Because of its proximity to the Haoming Sea, this once bustling place is now filled with deathly silence.

The major sects and countless cultivators, fearing the threat of invasion from the Ghost King Sect, have long since disappeared.

This day.

An unprecedented roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Streams of light, radiating immense pressure, traversed the heavens and earth, moving mountains and overturning seas, constantly relocating scattered spirit islands to one place.

The towering waves surged and churned, as if they were about to devour the heavens and the earth.

The entire landscape is undergoing a rapid and dramatic transformation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Above the sky.

"Such a scene is unprecedented!"

Even the powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, Ancestor Junmu, looked around in shock. Those array masters who held high positions in the cultivation world were now just like ordinary cultivators, appearing everywhere.

Each of the many array masters had their own division of labor, responsible for the transformation of a region, laying the foundation for the subsequent deployment of large arrays.

The next moment, Ancestor Junmu couldn't help but look towards the outer reaches of the world.

Countless enormous spirit ships and warships nearly blotted out the sky, silently hovering between heaven and earth.

Even with the restrictions concealing it, he could clearly sense that each of the massive spirit ships was piled high with all sorts of spiritual treasures.

This truly demonstrates the strength and status of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

As the leading merchant guild radiating throughout the entire Southern Moon Sea, the Daoyuan Merchant Guild possesses an incredibly formidable foundation and a vast network of connections, enabling it to easily mobilize unimaginable resources.

"Fellow Daoist Junmu, you flatter me!"

Old Ancestor Xue Guang spoke modestly, but a hint of pride was also evident in his eyes.

The strength of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce is not simply its apparent combat power; its long-cultivated network of relationships is another kind of hidden strength.

Li Qing also stood aside, quietly observing the changes in the surrounding world.

Those array masters used the power of arrays to continuously connect the entire origin of heaven and earth with the array eyes in various places.

He could even clearly feel the entire world becoming more cohesive and heavier.

The next moment, Li Qing slowly looked at Ancestor Junmu and Ancestor Qingyang.

"If you two fellow Daoists are at ease, then the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce can personally oversee the Ghost King Sect's battlefield operations from now on!"

"In comparison, the Golden Demon Kingdom's battlefield needs your help even more!"

Elder Xue Guang chimed in, "From now on, we are all on the same side. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. You two can rest assured!"

The ancestor of Junmu was slightly taken aback, but then said directly and decisively, "I am willing to follow Fellow Daoist Qing's arrangements!"

Ancestor Qingyang paused for a moment before finally nodding slowly.

Deep down, he naturally wanted to join the Ghost King Sect's battlefield to avenge his severely injured and sleeping Daoist partner. However, the current situation no longer allowed him to consider personal grudges. With the withdrawal of the three top forces in the Central Sea, this great battle would be the last stand for the cultivation world in the Eastern World.

Moreover, this is not a matter for discussion, but rather an order.

With the arrival of Qingxuan Zhenjun and the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern World Battlefield, there is now only one leader in the Eastern World cultivation world, and that is Qingxuan Zhenjun in front of us.

From now on, all plans and arrangements in the Eastern World will be subject to the orders of these top Nascent Soul forces.

As time goes by.

The vast sea and sky around them gradually divided into five worlds of different colors. Each world was independent, but they also influenced each other.

The vast army of spirit ships descended towards different worlds.

"Fellow Daoists, please make your own arrangements and head to the Golden Demon Kingdom battlefield as soon as possible!"

After Li Qing nodded to Xue Guang and the others, he left first.
-
A corner where Shuangyang Sea Area and Haoming Sea Area meet.

Above the azure sea.

Scattered throughout are numerous beautiful and spiritual islands, resembling a serene and picturesque landscape painting.

This spiritual land, which would normally be fought over by various cultivation forces, is now desolate and empty.

The highest peak of the sacred mountain on Half Moon Island in the central region.

A figure in cyan sat quietly cross-legged, overlooking the world.

At this moment.

A faint black rainbow descended from the sky.

As the demonic light dissipated, a handsome young man dressed in a black Taoist robe slowly descended. His deep, dark eyes seemed to harbor endless demonic power, drawing people into their descent.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Li Xuan landed on the mountaintop with a bright smile on his face.

"Congratulations on reaching the late Nascent Soul stage! You are one step closer to the peak of this sealed land!"

Seeing the eager look in the demon's eyes, Li Qing couldn't help but smile faintly.

"It should be 'shared joy,' for we are one, sharing the same realm!"

In some ways, compared to his aloof personality, his demonic form appears to have a more vibrant personality and emotions, which are, of course, a richer emotional expression of the path of demonic cultivation.

"I will now focus more of my energy on the battlefield of the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

Li Qing continued with a smile, "If we can take this opportunity to help the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon complete its advancement, it will be a huge boost. For now, you'll have to rely on yourself on the Ghost King Sect battlefield!"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan smiled wickedly: "I've already taken the opportunity to scout out a few targets!"

"The Ghost King Sect is currently unaware of the Dao Yuan Chamber of Commerce's arrival. Once they launch an attack, they will surely be routed. I will seize the opportunity to strike."

"However, Hei Ming is now approaching the late stage of the fourth rank. If he wants to advance further, he needs a soul at the late stage of the fourth rank. I can only trouble myself with this!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan waved his hand.

A billowing ghostly mist spread out, and a twisted, pitch-black ghostly figure stepped out from it.

"Greetings, masters!"

Only after the distorted ghostly figure knelt down did its true form become apparent.

Li Qing looked at the current Black Netherworld.

Its towering, almost solidified ghostly body was covered with countless fine, jet-black scales, and unique ghostly patterns, like serpentine snakes, crisscrossed its body.

Compared to before, the Black Nether Ghost Body is now much thinner, resembling a gaunt cultivator, and it no longer possesses the violent killing aura of before, becoming more ancient and pure.

As the two locked eyes, Li Qing naturally saw the boundless longing emanating from the depths of Hei Ming's pupils.

Seeing this, Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I will collect the late-stage fourth-order divine soul for you to help you advance quickly!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Hei Ming was so excited that he knelt down and bowed repeatedly.

next moment.

Several enormous giant spirit puppets appeared simultaneously.

"This is the Five Elements Spirit Puppet I obtained before. When activated, it can unleash the power of the late Nascent Soul realm. Now that I have already entered the late Nascent Soul realm, this item is of little use to me, so I'll leave it to you for self-defense."

Upon hearing this, the demonic Li Xuan chuckled: "Thank you for this treasure, Venerable One. With the Five Elements Spirit Puppet, perhaps I can find new opportunities!"

"This earth-shaking change is indeed a golden opportunity for us!"

Li Qing slowly rose, a smile on his face as he looked towards the horizon: "Not only can we take this opportunity to control the eastern world, but we can also use this opportunity to quickly accumulate new resources!"

"If Black Nether and Blood Spirit Flood Dragon complete their advancements simultaneously, they will be able to move more freely in the future."

The demonic Li Xuan then revealed a hint of regret: "It's a pity that my cultivation is still insufficient, otherwise I could have taken this opportunity to accumulate even more!"

"Not urgent!"

Li Qing smiled slightly: "This great battle will not end so quickly. The Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect will probably not give up easily either. So far, neither side has used the power of the late-stage peak Nascent Soul level!"

"Too!"

The demonic Li Xuan then laughed and said, "The natal spirit of that Ghost King Sect Master is most likely a ghost spirit at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!"

"It should be so!"

Li Qing nodded.

According to the news from that year, the reason why the Ghost King Sect Master suddenly advanced to the level of a Great Cultivator was probably because he received help from the forces outside the realm. It was precisely because of this that his strength had obvious and huge flaws. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the Thousand Water Spirit Control Sect and other major sects to relocate away because he was worried about the threat from Ancestor Jianyi.

Judging from the Ji family's attitude back then, it seems that the Ji family did not take the Ghost King Sect seriously.

All of this led Li Qing to believe that the Ghost King Sect Master's natal spirit could not possibly have reached the peak of the fourth rank of a great cultivator.

"Let nature take its course. Your future opportunities won't be limited to the Ghost King Sect; there are also opportunities for you within the Demon Fall Space."

The azure light vanished in an instant, disappearing into the ends of the earth.

"The Demonfall Space is a small world corrupted by demonic power; it might hold a huge surprise!"

Seemingly having thought of something, Li Xuan licked his lips and gazed intently at Hei Ming: "Do you think if the two of us went all out, along with the Five Elements Spirit Puppet, we'd have a chance to hunt down a severely injured late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit?"
