Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1398 The Taiyuan Incident
In the vast, murky, and colorful world.

The endless dark space rift tore through the heavens and earth, like countless gaping maws of an abyss, swallowing up all the accumulated chaotic and mixed power of the past.

As time passed, the cracks in the space between heaven and earth healed, and the chaotic world returned to its former pure blue color.

The blurry blue-robed phantom standing in the sky became increasingly real.

"That's not fake!"

"That was an unimaginably terrifyingly powerful expert!!"

The tall, middle-aged man on Snake Island had an incredulous look in his eyes.

At this moment, the figure in the green robe did not emit any aura, but the condensation of the surrounding world did not dissipate, as if an invisible force had taken over the world.

He instinctively looked ahead.

But the ferocious mid-stage third-tier serpent king was even more pathetic. Its demonic body, covered in solid green scales, trembled incessantly, and its ferocious demonic eyes were filled with nothing but boundless fear.

Clearly, the instincts deep within its demonic bloodline allow it to better sense the power above the heavens.

While the tall man was still in a state of utter shock.

A young voice began to ring in his ears.

Where is this place?

The tall, middle-aged man subconsciously looked up, only to see that the blurry blue figure from before had now truly revealed its true form.

He was a young monk dressed in a simple blue Taoist robe.

A pair of calm eyes are like a vast, tranquil ocean, undisturbed yet encompassing all things.

"Reporting to Senior, this place is the Thousand Rings Islands in the South China Sea!"

The tall, middle-aged man instinctively tried to bow, but found himself unable to move an inch, and could only manage a labored reply.

"The Thousand Illusion Islands!"

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

It's truly a coincidence that he appeared in the Thousand Illusion Islands.

He was naturally familiar with this sea area; in fact, he was extremely familiar with it.

When he first came to the cultivation world of Xuannan Continent, he arrived in this corner of the South China Sea through the immortal passage.

It can be said that this world was truly the starting point of his cultivation journey.

It was in this very place that he completed the formation of his core and entered the realm of the Golden Core.

The next moment, a flood of memories rushed into my mind.

"Thousand Illusion Islands, Five Flame Island, Wang Family, Qin Family"

A hint of emotion flickered in Li Qing's eyes.

In less than two hundred years, this once-famous place has undergone tremendous changes.

It’s normal to think about it.

Not to mention the Thousand Illusion Islands, the entire South China Sea region, and even the vast world deep within the Taiyuan Realm continent, have all undergone earth-shattering changes.

According to the message sent by Shan Lingyi.

In this vast world that was once jointly ruled by five top powers, including Fuling Island, countless changes have begun to occur.

The first thing to be affected was the Demon Fall Space Incident of that year, in which a large number of ancient alien races descended to this world. Some of these ancient alien races began to quietly develop and grow stronger, using this world as their foundation.

Among the ancient alien races that descended to the realm, there was a terrifying being at the level of a great cultivator personally overseeing the situation.

That means that every ancient alien race was a top-tier power, and a hidden one at that.

Besides.

The Yin Corpse Sect, which had fought Li Qing in the Demon Fall Space back then, has also reappeared in the world. It is also a terrifying demonic sect with a powerful cultivator at the level of a Grand Master in charge.

As if remembering something, an amusement appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

Upon closer examination, the current Taiyuan Realm bears a resemblance to the prototype of the ancient spirit realm.

Cultivators, demonic sects, sea creatures, and some ancient alien races have all gathered in this world.

"This is quite interesting!"

A faint smile appeared on Li Qing's lips.

It's easy to imagine that this trip to the Demonfall Space will not be peaceful.

The last opening of the Demon Meteor Space revealed the attitudes of all parties. Whether it was the five major forces, including Fuling Island, or the Yin Corpse Sect, they certainly wouldn't give up the opportunity of the Demon Meteor Space's dissipation. Even those ancient alien races might participate.

"Do you have a jade slip detailing the current state of this world?"

Li Qing looked down at the tall, middle-aged man who was also dressed in a blue robe.

"Yes, senior!"

The tall, middle-aged man seemed to recall his current predicament, and a pleading look appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly felt the solidified world around him loosen up.

Seeing this, the tall man did not hesitate and immediately took out several jade slips from his storage bag.

"It seems that the current situation in the South China Sea is even more serious than the information Lingyi gathered!"

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

Nowadays, not only have the Thousand Illusion Islands become the territory of the sea, but the other major island groups that were once close to the sea have also fallen.

Fuling Island, which was originally located in the center and controlled the South China Sea, has become the outermost island, directly bordering the sea tribes.

"The overwhelming force of heaven and earth descending in panic is even more vividly manifested within the Taiyuan territory!"

In the present-day Taiyuan Realm, the former order and rules have long since collapsed, and it is now in complete chaos. Under the pressure of the overwhelming external forces, the territories of the five major forces, including Fuling Island, which were once controlled by the Taiyuan Realm, have begun to shrink across the board.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the division within the cultivation world of this realm.

"So, you all live under the rule of the sea creatures?"

A look of surprise appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

Back then, he personally participated in the fierce battle between the five top powers and the sea race; the two sides were irreconcilable enemies.

However, judging from the information on the jade slip of the person in front of them, there are still many sects and human cultivators in this fallen sea cultivation world, but they are now under the control of the sea race.

"Exactly!"

The tall, middle-aged man quickly bowed and said, "Reporting to senior, I come from the Li family of Qinghu Island. That area belongs to the Blue Horn Sea Clan's sphere of influence."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing smiled faintly.

He was surprised to find that it was his family's surname, which piqued his interest even more.

He was quite eager to see what was different about the cultivation world under the rule of the sea race.

"You seem to have come here because of this great demon?"

Li Qing's figure slowly descended.

"Exactly!"

A look of horror flashed in Li Jun's eyes.

The young cultivator in the green robe, who seemed to descend gracefully, appeared before him as if he had crossed space.

"I am Li Jun, the head of the Li family of Qinghu Island. I am here to slay this great demon and obtain its snake gall to refine elixirs."

Although he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, he had witnessed the lofty and aloof Nascent Soul True Monarchs. However, even those beings he had seen were far less terrifying and powerful than the young cultivator in the green robe before him.

"Who exactly is this person? He seems to know nothing about this world. Could he be a terrifyingly powerful outsider?"

Thinking of the image deeply etched in his mind, he became even more convinced of his conjecture.

That terrifying and vast power that could shatter space itself is something that ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs could not possess.

"In that case, I can lend you a hand!"

Li Qing smiled slightly: "In return, I need you to show me this special world of cultivation."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" Li Jun quickly bowed.

The next moment, under his horrified gaze.

But then the powerful serpent king, who was at the mid-stage of the Three Realms, suddenly began to tremble even more violently, and then, without warning, it exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist that rose into the air.

Only a bright green snake gall and a huge demon core, protected by an unknown force, slowly flew out.

Throughout the entire process, he did not even feel the slightest fluctuation of power.

"Consider this your payment!"

Looking at the snake gall and demon core in front of him, Li Jun felt a profound sense of insignificance for the first time.

Once upon a time, when he entered the Golden Core realm, he enjoyed countless compliments and words of admiration. But now, in front of this unknown and mysterious powerhouse, he felt as weak as an ant.

"Never mind, meeting is fate, especially since we're from the same clan!"

Li Qing smiled slightly, then waved gently.

A dreamlike blue light instantly enveloped the entire Snake Island.

Under Li Jun's shocked gaze,

The once ferocious Jade Serpent swarm vanished instantly under the blue light, leaving not even a trace of blood mist.

The vast Snake Island was completely empty.

If it weren't for the dense snake holes below and the snake gall demon cores floating in the air, probably no one would believe that this was once a dangerous snake-infested island.

Countless snake gallbladders and demon cores of varying sizes rained down on Li Jun, like a continuous downpour.

However, this was a rain of wondrous, unexpected gifts.

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"

Li Jun's excitement was beyond words.

This immense opportunity presented by fate was a chance that could change the destiny of him and even the entire Li family of Qinghu Island.

At this moment.

"Father!!"

Several near-mad shouts came from afar.

Two young figures were seen rushing madly toward Snake Island.

The next moment, the two of them suddenly stopped and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The scene of life and death they had imagined did not appear. On the contrary, their usually serious father was now like an innocent child, waving his arms and legs and constantly catching the countless demon cores that fell from the sky.

At this moment, Li Jun finally finished collecting all the demon cores and snake gallbladders.

Looking at the two brothers still in shock in the distance, Li Jun quickly bowed and said, "Reporting to Senior, those are my two sons!"

"Hmm, no need to reveal my identity!"

Li Qing nodded slightly.

"Then how should I address you, senior?"

"Qingxuan, you can address me as fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow?"

A look of fear flashed in Li Jun's eyes.

What merit or ability does he possess to be qualified to address this mysterious and terrifyingly powerful senior as a fellow Daoist?

Seemingly noticing Li Jun's reaction, Li Qing smiled faintly: "It's alright, just address me as fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

Li Jun finally managed to utter this sentence with great difficulty.

"Let's go, your family members are still on their way from the outer perimeter."

Li Qing and his companion landed on the two young men who were standing there dumbfounded.

"Remember, do not mention what just happened to anyone, not even the clan's elders!"

Li Jun gave the two brothers a serious order.

The Li family of Qinghu Island is now just a small Golden Core family, with only one Golden Core cultivator. Not only will the news leak out, but it will also attract countless eyes.

Even if the news hadn't leaked out, such a serendipitous opportunity would have instantly torn apart a once united family for the sake of profit.

We can share hardship, but not prosperity.

"Yes, father!"

The two brothers seemed to have thought of something as well, and nodded repeatedly.

"This is Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

"Greetings, True Person Qingxuan!"

The two brothers quickly bowed again.

The two brothers had just witnessed their father's attitude towards this Senior Qingxuan, and there was no doubt that this person was a much more powerful being than their father.

"Real person!"

Li Qing smiled gently.

Seeing that Li Qing had no further reaction, Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

"These two lads are really out of their minds. How can someone who doesn't react at all to such an opportunity be a Golden Core cultivator!"

But he also knew in his heart that the two brothers had obviously witnessed the shocking scene just now and hadn't recovered yet.

"Now I am finally qualified to support all three of you brothers at the same time!"

As if he had thought of something, Li Jun's eyes became slightly moist.

Because the eldest brother is exceptionally talented and has awakened a mysterious spiritual body, he is the hope of the entire Li family. As a result, all the family's cultivation resources are concentrated on him, which means that the two brothers, who are also quite talented in the family, can only rely on their own efforts to cultivate most of the time.

What pleased him most was that even with such an unequal distribution of benefits, it did not affect the relationship between his family.

The sight of the two brothers risking their lives to come to him just now warmed his heart even more.

"Upon returning to the family, you two must immediately enter the ancestral hall and kneel down to reflect on your mistakes!"

Li Jun feigned anger: "You two made a huge mistake by risking your lives to come here!"

"If they continue to act so irrationally, they will go even further in the future."

The two brothers, realizing their mistake, both lowered their heads at the same time.

"We were also worried about our father's well-being!"

Upon hearing these heartfelt words, Li Jun, who had originally intended to continue his reprimanding words to the two brothers, ultimately swallowed them back.

"Forget it, we can settle this with you two brothers when we get back."

After Li Qing and his group of four left.

A deep black demonic light began to emanate from the once desolate Snake Island.

at the same time.

A young figure in a black robe slowly stepped out.

"Tianhu Mountain Range - Ming Family!"

A cold smile appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

Unexpectedly, he already had something new to do as soon as he arrived in this place.

"However, according to my opinion, the world within that continent is undoubtedly more interesting, and the Yin Corpse Sect is currently hidden within that world!"

"After dealing with the Ming family's affairs, we could take this opportunity to make contact with the Yin Corpse Sect; perhaps we'll gain some unexpected benefits."
