Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1399 A New World, Li Minghua
"Homeowner!"

"The patriarch is alright!"

Just as Li Qing and his companions left Snake Island, they encountered two elders of the Li family who were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Looking at Li Jun, who was unharmed, the two old men were extremely excited.

The patriarch is the pillar of the entire Li family lineage on Qinghu Island, and the only Golden Core cultivator.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you two elders!"

Li Jun, also moved, stepped forward and bowed.

The fact that these two elders came in person shows that they have put their lives on the line.

"We were ordered by the Grand Elder to intercept those two brats, but we didn't expect them to run away so fast, which is why we are late."

"Who is this?"

At this moment, the two old men also noticed Li Qing standing to the side.

"This is Fellow Daoist Qingxuan. It's an unexpected reunion!"

Li Jun quickly found a new excuse: "Fortunately, this fellow Daoist came to my aid, which is why we were able to kill that snake king!"

"Did you get the snake gall?"

The two elderly men appeared even more excited.

"That's right, Hua'er can be saved."

Watching the conversation among the group, Li Qing couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the Li family of Qinghu Island whom I met by chance is a pretty good family, but judging from their behavior just now, they are very united and determined.

"Next, as long as we find a suitable alchemist, we can refine that antidote pill to help the young master resolve the crisis!"

"Yes, after returning this time, I personally went to the market to find a suitable alchemy master to assist me."

Li Qing chuckled softly from the side.

"That's not necessary!"

"It just so happens that I now have some knowledge of alchemy, so I can be of help."

Upon hearing this, the two Foundation Establishment elders, who had initially seemed quite excited, exchanged glances and fell silent.

Alchemy, as one of the most popular cultivation arts in the world of immortal cultivation, is equally complex.

Although this powerful outsider was stronger than the family head, the two of them did not believe that this young expert was also a master alchemist.

The refining of this antidote pill is crucial to the prosperity of the entire Li family lineage on Qinghu Island.

For the sake of this Serpent King's Gallbladder alone, all the powerful members of their family were mobilized.

They dared not entrust such an important matter to others.

"Elders, there is no need to worry. Fellow Daoist Qingxuan is far superior to me in both strength and methods. Since Fellow Daoist Qingxuan has said this, there is naturally no need to worry about this matter anymore!"

Looking at the two elders who still seemed somewhat skeptical, Li Jun had no time to explain; his eyes were filled with excitement.

With his mysterious and terrifyingly powerful methods, refining a mere third-tier pill would be a piece of cake.

After a while.

The group reunited with the other elders of the Li family who had been hiding in the outside world, and then boarded the cyan spirit boat together, heading towards the depths of the sea.

On the azure spirit boat.

Li Qing stood at the bow of the ship, quietly listening to the excited discussions of the Li family members behind him, while gazing at the endless sea in the distance.

At present, the Demon Meteor Space has not yet been opened.

He could also take the opportunity to revisit this familiar place and temper his mind.

The opportunity in the Demon Fall Space will be another huge boost to his strength. Such a rapid and continuous increase in strength and cultivation will inevitably lead to an unstable state of mind.

After entering the late Nascent Soul stage, cultivators are more severely affected by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, thus requiring an even stronger state of mind.

For example, the former Grand Master of the Water Emperor Sect - Ancestor Cangyu.

Even beings like him choose to integrate into the mortal world and use humanity to resist the loss of the Great Dao, let alone him.

That is why he chose to return with the Li family behind him.

This is a perfect opportunity to appreciate the unique scenery of this land and temper one's mind.

"The Thousand Rings Islands!"

A smile appeared on Li Qing's lips.

This world was also one of his goals during his journey through the Demon Fall Space.

It should be known that on this trip to the Xuan Nan Continent, he not only brought his demonic body, but also his three great beast pets: the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon, the Heavenly Star Turtle, and the Purple Winged Flame Centipede.

Besides his own opportunities for advancement in his demonic form.

The opportunities for advancement of the three major beast pets also lie within this world.

The cyan spirit boat continued its voyage across the sea.

A new world of cultivation slowly appeared at the edge of the sea.

Just like the normal layout of the world in the cultivation world, there are many beautiful and spiritual islands scattered on the blue sea, and various spirit boats travel between heaven and earth.

the difference is.

In that prosperous world unique to the cultivation realm, there are towering, majestic blue peaks that seem to lean towards the sky, each supporting a small blue world atop them.

That power, clearly different from that of cultivators, enveloped the sky above that cultivation realm.

at the same time.

Li Jun wisely ordered the members of the Li family to return to their cabins to avoid disturbing Li Qing, and then slowly walked towards the bow of the ship.

"Reporting to Senior, that world is none other than the cultivation realm now ruled by the sea race!"

As he spoke, Li Jun's eyes were filled with a complex expression.

As a cultivator, he has human blood flowing through his veins, and naturally he always thinks about the dignity and honor of his race.

But faced with that inescapable and cruel reality, he didn't even have the right to resist.

"Back then, a cataclysmic change occurred in the South China Sea. The sea race's defenses collapsed completely, and the entire world fell into their hands. Countless sects, families, and forces fled to the inner sea."

"At that time, the Li family was just a clan on Qinghu Island, with only one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan. The Li family had neither the time nor the right to escape this world, and could only be forced to stay and wait for fate to take its course."

"Fortunately, this invasion by the sea race is different from the previous ones. They did not carry out a large-scale massacre of the human race. Instead, they began to actively restore the order of heaven and earth, and deliberately supported the growth of some families and sects, taking control of this world on their behalf."

Li Jun's eyes were filled with sighs.

At that time, the entire Li family was in complete despair, just waiting for the executioner's blade hanging over their heads to fall.

Unexpectedly, the final result was that the entire Li family lineage ushered in a tremendous opportunity.

The Golden Core sect that had previously been stationed on Qinghu Island fled in panic, and the Li family became the biggest beneficiary.

"In return, our families and sects are responsible for mining local resources and spiritual objects to hand over to the sea race in exchange for the chance to continue to survive."

Li Qing slowly said, "So, those small blue worlds floating in the sky are the various settlements of the sea race?"

"That's exactly right!" Li Jun said with a wry smile.

"Yet another new prison!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

Although the cultivation world under the rule of the sea race seemed to have restored peace, it also completely blocked the path to advancement for the cultivation world in this realm.

If one is merely seeking ordinary survival, that may be acceptable, but if one wishes to continue pursuing the Great Dao, the hope is undoubtedly slim in this world.

He didn't believe that the sea race would allow new powerful beings to continue to emerge within this cultivation world.

"The world is vast, but where is not a prison?"

Li Jun's eyes revealed a look of helplessness.

They had no other choice.

Ultimately, these people were those who had been eliminated from the original cultivation world. As for the powerful Nascent Soul forces and even most of the Golden Core sects and families, they had already fled to the Inner Sea.

"Too!"

A touch of emotion appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

On a larger scale, the entire sealed land is a true prison of heaven and earth, not to mention this cultivation world.

Perhaps one day, when he enters the true, vast spirit realm, he will gradually discover that it is nothing more than a new prison.

This is the complex relationship between all living beings and heaven and earth.

The world has given birth to all living beings, but all living beings strive to transcend the world, and the path of cultivation is no exception. "Senior, when we return, we may encounter powerful sea creatures on patrol. If they discover that your identity is unknown, they may question you!" Li Jun said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Qing smiled faintly.

He had already seen a sea creature army rushing towards the spirit ship at the edge of the sea.

A moment later, a group of sea creatures, several meters tall, covered in black scales and topped with a huge blue horn, approached the azure spirit boat.

"senior!"

Just as Li Jun was about to speak again, he discovered that the figure in the green robe standing in front of him was beginning to distort and become illusory, as if it did not exist. He could only vaguely see it, but could not sense it at all.

Faced with the approaching sea creature patrol team, Li Jun didn't have time to think. He rushed out of the spirit boat and bowed in salute.

"Li Jun, head of the Li family of Qinghu Island, greets everyone!"

"Qinghu Island!"

The leader of the mid-stage third-tier sea creatures looked coldly down at him and said in a condescending tone, "Show everyone immediately for inspection!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jun felt a renewed sense of humiliation.

But thinking of his family, he nodded earnestly and then began to gather his family members.

The contemptuous gazes of the third-tier sea race swept over the Li family members one by one. During this time, Li Jun was initially a little worried, but when he thought of the terrifying appearance of that senior, he instantly calmed down.

What was a powerful mid-stage third-tier sea race expert to him was like an ant in the eyes of that senior. It was even more impossible for him to discover that senior who was deliberately hiding his figure.

After a thorough examination, the mid-stage third-tier sea creature seemed still uneasy. He deliberately shrunk his size and entered the spirit boat to investigate carefully before finally letting everyone leave.

"The level of scrutiny we're seeing today is unprecedented!"

After getting away from the sea creature garrison, Li Jun finally spoke up about his doubts.

"Yes, the sea creatures stationed here have always been arrogant and aloof, and they rarely even see us. I didn't expect that there would be a third-tier sea creature patrolling here today!"

Several elders of the Li family also began to discuss it.

"That real person?"

Just as one of the Li family elders couldn't help but ask a question, Li Qing slowly reappeared from beside the crowd.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the Li family elders were instantly filled with shock.

Unexpectedly, this person did not hide at all, but stood quietly among the crowd, thus avoiding the detection of that sea race expert.

At this moment, even the elders of the Li family, who were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, seemed to have realized what was happening.

Such a silent and stealthy method is not something an ordinary Golden Core cultivator could possess.

"Could it be that the powerful figure who saved the patriarch is a legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

Before the many elders of the Li family could think further, Li Jun sent everyone back to the cabin, while he stayed behind to continue explaining the various aspects of this special world of cultivation.

"Although the sea tribe is stationed here, they rarely have contact with us cultivators. Only in places like market towns are the sea tribe personally in charge. They also rarely participate in the open and covert struggles between the major cultivation forces."

Throughout the journey, Li Jun provided a continuous stream of introductions.

Li Qing also gained a deeper understanding of this place.

In fact, for these lower-level cultivator families and sects, their living conditions in this world are not much different from those in the previous cultivation world; it's just that there's a different ruler.

In fact, due to the departure of countless powerful sects and families, the intensity of the battles and killings in this world has significantly decreased, making it somewhat safer.

Of course, they will also pay a huge price for this – a future that is almost completely blocked.

The azure spirit boat continued to travel between heaven and earth, heading towards Qinghu Island.
-
Above the azure sea.

The lush and verdant Shenxiu Lingdao Island sits between heaven and earth.

A vast, emerald-green lake sits in the center of the island, with a misty haze spreading outwards from its depths, enveloping the entire island and creating a mystical and enchanting atmosphere.

Inside a majestic, azure-green peak deep behind Qinghu Island.

The massive mountain has been almost hollowed out, with dark golden pillars embedded within, transforming it into a cruel prison.

"What is the young master trying to do?"

"Young Master, spare my life!!"

Inside one of the sealed-off cells, vines tightly bound a middle-aged man, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Young Master, I only stole a few spirit ores. I have already agreed to serve the nobles for ten years. I beg you to forgive me this time."

The middle-aged man struggled desperately, his eyes filled with fear and unease as he looked at the young figure ahead.

The other party is approaching step by step.

The blue-patterned Taoist robe with its plant and tree designs became increasingly clear before him. What terrified him even more was the coldness and ruthlessness emanating from the pale-faced young cultivator beneath the robe.

The next moment, strands of cyan light, like tentacles, flowed out from the other party's body, and then those cyan lights pounced on it like wild beasts that had spotted their prey.

"no, do not want!"

The middle-aged man felt as if each ray of blue light was a giant maw, frantically devouring the life force within his body.

at the same time.

A rosy hue slowly appeared on the pale face of the young man in front of him.

"No! Help!!"

With screams of agony, the middle-aged man seemed to have been drained dry, quickly turning into a withered skeleton.

"It's still not enough!"

A fierce glint appeared in Li Minghua's eyes.

The prisoners in the clan's cages were mostly Qi Refining cultivators. Even though he had devoured dozens of people, he still couldn't suppress the deadly poison within his body.

"Who exactly is it?!"

"Who exactly leaked my whereabouts?!"

Li Minghua let out a roar that was almost like that of a wild beast.

He is not willing!

He was unwilling to perish like this. There was a boundless path laid out before him, yet he could not take another step forward.

After his trip to Five Flame Island, he could have successfully broken through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and then attempted to reach the Golden Core realm. However, he was severely injured due to the siege by the Li family's hostile forces.

Originally, once he reached the Golden Core realm, he could have joined Fuling Island with the help of the Wang family patriarch, thus leading his entire family to escape this prison.

At that time, with his awakened special spiritual body and the backing of Fuling Island, he will be like a dragon emerging from the abyss.

But now, all his painstaking plans have been ruined.

Besides.

To save his life, his father almost led the entire family to risk their lives to kill the third-tier snake king.

Thinking of this, Li Minghua felt his heart tremble.

If an accident occurs, the father and the entire family's wealth could be lost in that ominous place.

Just as he was about to walk into the next cage with a fierce look in his eyes.

Suddenly, an incredibly excited voice came from outside.

"Young Master!"

"The patriarch and the elders have returned, and none of them were injured."

A burly young figure rushed in.

"Did Father and the others successfully hunt down the Snake King?"

Li Minghua's eyes also lit up with wild joy, but he quickly regained his senses: "Impossible! With Father and the others' strength, it's impossible for them to kill that snake king without getting hurt!"

"Immediately deal with these people and tell the outside world that they refused to submit and fed the family's blood vines!"

After saying that, Li Minghua quickly walked outside.

The tall, young man who had been excited suddenly showed deep fear in his eyes after seeing the skeletons.

Of the entire family, only he knew how ruthless this seemingly gentle young master was in reality.

at the same time.

They landed in the azure spirit boat above Qinghu Island.

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

"The aura of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame? How could there be the aura of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame within Qinghu Island?"
