Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1418 The Yu Family, the Spirit Alliance

Luonan Kingdom.

A majestic and continuous spiritual vein lies dormant between heaven and earth, like a giant dragon lying horizontally.

In the central region of the spiritual vein, a unique, thick white jade crystal pillar stands tall, reaching towards the sky. Looking down, the pillar is clearly an enlarged jade flute, with countless patterns of rare beasts and birds engraved on it.

At that moment, an old man in white robes was sitting cross-legged on the Jade Flute.

The immense pressure of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm swept across the heavens and earth, continuously expanding.

Outside the spiritual vein, streaks of light, radiating immense power, descended from the sky.

"Congratulations, Patriarch Yu!"

"Congratulations to True Monarch Yu Ming on advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage."

Nascent Soul True Monarchs from this cultivation world appeared one after another, surrounding the Yu family's Nascent Soul True Monarchs and offering their congratulations.

With the Yu family patriarch advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, this cultivation world finally welcomed an absolute overlord – the Yu family, a top-tier Nascent Soul power family.

Every Nascent Soul True Lord who came to offer their congratulations was genuinely overjoyed.

Although the advancement of the Yu family patriarch made the Yu family completely superior to these Nascent Soul forces, from another perspective, these Nascent Soul forces finally had someone to rely on.

Especially now that the situation in the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, the advancement of the Yu family patriarch will bring a new order and balance to this cultivation world.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

As things stand right now, the advancement of the Yu family patriarch is definitely more beneficial than harmful to their many Nascent Soul forces.

Moreover, the Yu family is one of the leaders in the cultivation world of this land, and their style of doing things has always been fair and honest, which has won them many people's hearts.

"Thank you all for coming to witness the grand event of our Yu family patriarch's ascension!"

A middle-aged man with a refined appearance said with a smile, "Once our ancestor has completed his advancement, our Yu family will hold a celebration and invite all fellow Daoists to join us."

"This is something our entire cultivation world should celebrate with a toast!"

"With the leadership of True Monarch Yuming, our cultivation world will surely become more stable and usher in a new era of prosperity."

The voice of one of the elderly men in red robes drew many voices of agreement.

Now, the Yu family can naturally unite their various forces to jointly resist the increasingly unstable external environment.

It should be noted that before this, many sects and forces had already perished due to chaotic struggles.

The advancement of the Yu family patriarch was like a shot in the arm for their chaotic cultivation world. With the Yu family patriarch around, even other top Nascent Soul forces outside dared not act recklessly against them.

While everyone was exchanging pleasantries and congratulations.

Streaks of silver light have appeared at the edge of heaven and earth.

Countless eyes instantly turned to the distance.

But all they saw was the vast, snowy, and frigid winter horizon covered by a sky full of starlight, and a mighty torrent of pure starlight was sweeping toward their direction.

"A mid-stage fourth-tier demon king!"

Gazing at the enormous, silvery-white tortoise emanating an ancient, pure, and imposing aura amidst the torrent of starlight, the group exchanged bewildered glances.

Although they could see that the demon king with the star attribute was powerful, this was the Yu family's territory, and how could a mere mid-stage fourth-order demon king act so recklessly?

"There's someone on the demon king's back!"

As the silver-white giant tortoise demon king approached, everyone finally saw a young figure in a green robe standing on the tortoise shell.

Before the surrounding Nascent Soul True Monarchs could speak...

The head of the Yu family, a refined middle-aged man, led several Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Yu family and flew out on his own initiative.

"May I ask which fellow Daoist you are?"

"I am Yu Chen, the head of the Yu family!" The refined middle-aged man stepped forward to bow, a hint of surprise appearing in his heart.

Only after getting close did he truly realize the extraordinary nature of this enormous, silver-white giant tortoise demon king.

It should be noted that he was also at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and was even approaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but even so, he still felt a tremendous sense of pressure.

Judging solely from the overwhelming and ancient pure stellar power, it can be concluded that this silver-white giant tortoise must possess some kind of ancient stellar bloodline and possess considerable strength.

It is conceivable that the young man in the green robe must be even more powerful.

"I was merely passing through this place when I happened to encounter a fellow Daoist from afar who had advanced in cultivation, so I came here specifically to offer my congratulations!"

That calm and indifferent voice sent a jolt through Yu Chen's heart.

"He's actually a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"

The fact that the newcomer dared to address the Yu family patriarch, who had just advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, as a fellow Daoist speaks volumes about his strength.

"Greetings, senior!"

The refined middle-aged man quickly led several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yu family to bow respectfully.

"On behalf of the Yu family, Yu Chen welcomes you, senior, as our guest!"

As if he had thought of something, Yu Chen became somewhat cautious. "However, the Ancestor has not yet awakened. I hope that Senior can wait a moment!"

He dared not gamble on whether this mysterious expert harbored ill intentions; if he allowed him into the Yu family's territory, it would pose a direct threat to his ancestor.

After all, the ancestor had only recently advanced, while the mysterious expert before them was clearly a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had been advanced for a long time.

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and did not continue to approach, but instead looked at the Yu family patriarch in the distance.

It's probably because he just advanced in cultivation. The immense pressure emanating from the Yu family patriarch in the distance hasn't subsided yet; in fact, it's intensifying. He must be taking this opportunity to consolidate his cultivation.

At this moment.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
A melodious and high-pitched flute sound soared into the sky, like the sound of heaven and earth, transcending spatial barriers and spreading to every corner of the world.

At the same time, the long flute-shaped crystal pillar that stood tall in the distance lit up, its warm white jade radiance illuminating the world.

An even more magnificent and grand flute sound emanated from the crystal pillar flute.

The flute's melody, sometimes soaring and sometimes melodious, composed a heavenly tune.

Thousands of ancient birds and beasts emerged and soared into the sky, dancing and fluttering to the sound of flutes. At the same time, magnificent fairy pavilions and strange phenomena appeared in the distance, like a scroll of an ancient fairyland slowly unfolding.

Li Qing also stood still, listening quietly.

Just hearing a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, a master of music, perform personally is enough to make the trip worthwhile.

As the flute music continued, the distant celestial phenomena became increasingly realistic, as if a true ancient fairyland had reappeared, inspiring longing in all who beheld it.

That is the ultimate goal pursued by countless cultivators - to become an immortal.

Exceptional to the rules of heaven and earth, eternally indestructible.

Just as countless cultivators around, including a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, began to immerse themselves in it.

The old patriarch of the Yu family slowly stood up.

A genuine, ancient jade flute slowly fell to the ground.

The patriarch of the Yu family began to play the jade flute himself.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
As a deep, resonant flute melody rang out, the extraordinary phenomena of the ancient fairyland vanished like bubbles in an instant, and the world suddenly darkened.

The flute music grew deeper and deeper, beginning to emanate an invisible power of the Great Dao, drawing everyone into it.

Li Qing deliberately relaxed his mind and restrained his own power, allowing the special flute music to guide his mind.

At that moment, he felt as if he had entered a dark and desolate realm, accompanied by the deep sound of the flute, where there was no sound, no ripples, and everything was nothingness.

At first, he could still feel the passage of time, but later even time seemed to lose its meaning, and life fell into silence, leaving only loneliness and darkness.

The originally low flute melody quietly grew deeper, like an invisible giant that, even bearing the boundless darkness and silence, never stopped crawling forward.

That invisible will to persevere also began to shine in Li Qing's mind, encouraging him to continue to hold on and not give up.

Li Qing slowly opened his eyes and looked around at the world.

The scene before them undoubtedly proved the extraordinary nature of the path cultivated by this patriarch of the Yu family.

As far as the eye could see, everyone in this world, including a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, was completely immersed in the artistic conception woven by the Yu family patriarch using the Dao of Music. Even the Heavenly Star Turtle was unable to extricate itself from it.

Compared to the common inheritances in the cultivation world, that kind of musical method leans more towards intangible means such as the soul, thus making it easier to influence the cultivator's soul. From the scene before them, it was also clear that the Yu family patriarch was a kind person.

Having just advanced, he used the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that he had just comprehended to present everyone with a great gift. The artistic conception of heaven and earth constructed with the Dao of Music was precisely to help everyone strengthen their Dao hearts.

At this moment, the Yu family patriarch had already taken the initiative to arrive by stepping into the air.

"Yu Ming greets fellow Daoist!"

"I am Qingxuan, congratulations Fellow Daoist Yu on reaching the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "It is truly an eye-opening experience to witness your performance today!"

"This is but a trivial trick; I've made a fool of myself in front of you, fellow Daoist!"

The Yu family patriarch smiled and shook his head.

He said this without the slightest hint of modesty.

Having cultivated the Way of Music, he naturally possessed a powerful divine soul and a spiritual sense that surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level. Yet, even though he had already entered the late Nascent Soul stage, he still could not sense the aura within the young cultivator in the green robe before him.

Beneath that simple blue robe lay a vast, abyss-like expanse, constantly swallowing up all external sensations.

To be honest, if they met in the outside world, he probably wouldn't be able to tell that the other party was a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Is this your first time visiting Luo Nan Kingdom, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in the eyes of the Yu family patriarch.

Although he had just been promoted, the Yu family had been rooted in Luo Nan for over a thousand years and had its own vast network of connections. He had never heard of a late-stage Nascent Soul expert with the Daoist name Qingxuan in Taiyuan.

"No!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "I once cultivated in Luonan for some time, and this time I can be considered to have returned to my old home!"

"I see!"

The Yu family patriarch smiled and nodded, his doubts dissipating.

He didn't dwell on finding out the identity of the mysterious expert in front of him. After all, the Taiyuan Realm was so vast and boundless that there were always some unknown experts hiding in the shadows, cultivating alone.

"I have just been fortunate enough to be promoted, and then I met you, fellow Daoist, who came here for a visit. It is truly a matter of fate!"

"If you have no other plans, why not visit our Yu family?"

"Of course!"

Immediately, Li Qing put away the Heavenly Star Turtle and, together with the Yu family patriarch, descended towards the center of the distant spiritual vein.

Inside a magnificent white jade palace.

The Yu family patriarch offered Li Qing a cup of the Yu family's unique spiritual tea - Wanyin Tea.

This can be considered a common way of treating guests in the cultivation world.

Most long-established sects and families cultivate several types of spirit tea trees that align with their family traditions, as special offerings for guests.

Upon taking the first sip, Li Qing felt as if the spirit tea water was echoing in his ears with clear, melodious flute music.

After praising him, Li Qing smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"

"When I first came to Luo Nan Kingdom, I met a member of the nobility. Now that I have come again, it just so happens that you have advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

When he first entered Luo Nan Kingdom, it was from that member of the Yu family that he first obtained the jade slip containing the map of Luo Nan Kingdom.

"Oh?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in the eyes of the Yu family patriarch: "May I ask, fellow Daoist, which member of our Yu family was fortunate enough to have met you?"

"He is a young genius named Yu Mingyi!"

"Mingyi!"

Upon hearing this name, the Yu family patriarch gave a wry smile: "So it's my great-great-grandson!"

Seeing the reaction of the Yu family patriarch, Li Qing also understood the current situation of the Yu family member he had met before.

"Mingtian's talent was quite good, but unfortunately he didn't have the luck to meet you, fellow Daoist. He perished unexpectedly in a battle decades ago!"

"What a pity for such a young genius!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

"To be honest, I really envy fellow Daoist who is a lone traveler on the path of the Great Dao, free and unburdened, single-mindedly pursuing the path of the Great Dao!"

The old patriarch of the Yu family sighed, “Not to mention my great-grandson, even among my grandchildren, only one or two out of ten are still alive.”

Li Qing did not offer any explanation.

On the surface, he is not a solitary cultivator, as he has the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect and others behind him. However, in reality, he has always been a lone traveler on the path of the Great Dao. The Thousand Waters Spirit Sect is only a part of him, but he does not belong to the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect.

The Qian Shui Yu Ling Zong and others were merely seeds he casually planted, watered and nurtured along the way; they would not hinder his pursuit of the Great Dao.

For him, everything is under the Great Dao.

"Now that you have entered the late Nascent Soul stage, the Yu family will become a top-tier Nascent Soul power and will no longer have to face the predicaments of the past!"

Faced with Li Qing's words of comfort.

The Yu family patriarch showed no relief whatsoever, instead shaking his head again: "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan is new to this world and is unaware of the inside story!"

"In the past, with me in charge, the Yu family could barely maintain some peace. But now things are very different. The world is undergoing tremendous changes and chaos is descending. What is a mere top-tier Nascent Soul power compared to this? Not long ago, a top-tier Nascent Soul family—the Ming family—was completely wiped out."

When the Ming family was mentioned, the Yu family patriarch's face became more somber.

Since the Ming family in the Tianhu Mountains was wiped out, all factions in Luonan Kingdom have been living in fear.

After all, who can know whether that mysterious demonic cultivator will reappear?

"The Lingbao Sect has now notified all parties that it has decided to form the Ling Alliance to guard against possible future upheavals. If even the Lingbao Sect is reacting this way to the face of future upheavals, what about our Yu family?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

He wasn't surprised that the Ming family's affairs were the work of a demon, but he was learning about the Spirit Alliance for the first time from the Yu family patriarch.

Behind Lingbao Sect's actions, however, lies a different, more unusual meaning.

The purpose of forming the Spirit Alliance is definitely to concentrate all affiliated forces in order to deal with major events that may occur in the future.

Once the Spirit Alliance is established, it means that the Spirit Treasure Sect will gain even greater control over the major Nascent Soul forces.

"Could it be for the Yin Corpse Sect?"

Li Qing's heart stirred slightly.

Not long ago, the demonic body learned from the Supreme Elder of the Yellow Springs Sect about the schemes behind the appearance of the Yin Corpse Sect.

The Heavenly Demon Sect has reached some kind of cooperation with the Yin Corpse Sect.

The Yellow Springs Sect and other demonic sects within the Heavenly Demon Sect's camp traveled thousands of miles to settle in the northern region of Yunliang Kingdom, precisely to assist the Yin Corpse Sect in its momentous event of reappearing in the world.

"interesting!"

"It seems that the Wulingbao Sect and other top forces have already begun preparations for the emergence of the Yin Corpse Sect!"

As the apparent controllers of the Taiyuan Realm, the four top powers, including the Lingbao Sect, will inevitably prevent the Yin Corpse Sect from appearing in the world; this is an inevitable trend.

The public appearance of the Yin Corpse Sect signifies the complete loss of absolute control over the Taiyuan Realm by top forces such as the Lingbao Sect.

At least on the surface, top powers like the Lingbao Sect would absolutely not agree.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

The Demon Body has now completely subdued the Yellow Springs Sect with its own strength and the existence of the Black Netherworld, thus gaining a suitable identity.

Once the Yin Corpse Sect appears, the demonic faction will inevitably clash with the four top forces, including the Spirit Treasure Sect. Undoubtedly, this will be a catastrophe within the Taiyuan territory, and the demonic body can participate in it.

This chaotic and disordered state of the world perfectly suited the growth of the demonic body.

Moreover, after Black Nether's advancement, his own safety as a demon was guaranteed, and he also had the confidence to plan for more opportunities.

"I can stay out of this chaos and calamity. It's a good opportunity for me to meditate and wait for the Demonfall Space to open!"

In the main hall.

After chatting with the Yu family patriarch for a while, Li Qing took his leave.
