Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1421 Seclusion, Submission

Lakeside Residence.

In the central courtyard of the misty Linghu Lake.

Li Qing lay leisurely on the jade chair, listening to Shan Lingyi's gentle whispers.

"After I returned to Taiyuan Realm, I have been cultivating in seclusion at the Lakeside Residence. With the help of information gathered by the Chamber of Commerce, I learned that in the decades since my return, the entire Taiyuan Realm has been in turmoil."

Shan Lingyi recounted all the news she had gathered over the years in great detail.

Looking at the scene ahead.

A strange feeling arose in Shan Nuan's heart as she stood to the side.

This soft-spoken, gentle-faced aunt is no longer the decisive and exceptionally wise Linglong Zhenjun of the past; her every move exudes the demeanor of a delicate woman.

Perhaps only someone as powerful as her uncle could make a renowned female Nascent Soul True Monarch willingly become a gentle woman by his side.

At this moment.

An elderly man with white hair walked into the courtyard.

"Luo Jing from Linghai Pavilion has come to pay his respects!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Shan Lingyi smiled gently and said, "My husband's grand-disciple has arrived!"

"Hehe, let him in!"

Li Qing sat up with a smile.

"Luo Jing pays respects to the Pavilion Master and to the True Lord Master."

Upon seeing that familiar young figure in the green robe, Luo Jing became extremely excited.

Unexpectedly, just before he was about to reach the end of his lifespan, he saw the master who had changed his fate again.

"Luo Jing, son of Luo Yu, pays respects to his master!"

Looking at the white-haired old man who kept kowtowing, Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Get up!"

"I have just returned to Linghai Pavilion when I heard that your time is coming to an end. Is there any wish you have not yet fulfilled?"

This is why Shan Lingyi arranged for Luo Jing to come; this meeting would be their last.

"I dare not trouble my master. I have no regrets, only that my own talent is inferior, and I have failed to live up to my master's kindness."

Because of this master, over the years, the former Pavilion Master Shan Quan, who had passed away, had always entrusted him with important responsibilities. Within the entire Linghai Pavilion, his status was no less than that of the Golden Core elders.

"That's fine!"

A hint of appreciation appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

This grand-disciple, like his mortal father Luo Yu, possessed a pure heart and was humble and kind.

With Luo Jing's passing, the karma he left behind when he entered the mortal world to suppress his inner demons was completely dissipated.

"You can rest assured, Shan Nuan will make proper arrangements for your descendants."

"Many thanks to Master for your kindness. The entire Luo family will serve the Linghai Pavilion wholeheartedly and will never betray you."

Watching Luo Jing's departing figure.

Shan Lingyi couldn't help but recall all the things she had experienced in Black Stone Village.

At that time, she and her husband became an ordinary couple, living the simplest life as ordinary people, with the husband farming and the wife weaving.

Even now, that memory is still deeply etched in her heart.

"Speaking of which, I have been to Black Stone Village once before," Shan Lingyi said softly.

"how?"

Li Qing smiled slightly.

"The Black Stone Village where my husband and I lived is long gone, transformed into the rolling river."

A hint of regret appeared in Shan Lingyi's beautiful eyes.

"The world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields!"

Li Qing looked around at the vast spiritual lake: "Don't even mention Black Stone Village, how long can this world before us exist?"

"Only one's own cultivation is the only true measure!"

"Your soul has already broken through, so you're probably not far from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

Shan Lingyi nodded gently: "I have also begun to sense the bottleneck in my breakthrough!"

"So good!"

Li Qing smiled and said, "With your current abilities, your strength will undoubtedly increase further after breaking through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

"If there are no other important matters, we can hand over Linghai Pavilion to Nuannuan. This will also allow her to gain some experience."

"I, as your husband, also need to meditate for a while to prepare for the upcoming opportunities in the Demonfall Space."

After arranging things properly.

Li Qing left the Lakeside Residence to Shan Lingyi, and then transformed into a long blue rainbow, descending towards a spiritual peak in the distance of the spiritual lake.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several beams of blue light shot into the sky and merged into the depths of heaven and earth.

A vast expanse of restrictive spiritual mist then spread out.

At the summit of Lingfeng.

Li Qing sat quietly cross-legged.

The opening time of the Demonfall Space is still uncertain. It may be in the next few decades, or it may be longer. He can take this opportunity to go into seclusion.

Since entering the late Nascent Soul stage, he has been caught up in the full-scale invasion by the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect. He has not been able to properly seclude himself until now. Now that he has entered the Taiyuan stage, he naturally does not need to worry about the sudden opening of the Demon Fall Space. He can take this opportunity to go into seclusion and cultivate, exert his sensitivity to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth at the late Nascent Soul stage, deepen his understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and solidify his foundation.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the divine soul slowly began to operate.

Under his guidance, the once lofty and unattainable Great Dao of Heaven and Earth began to slowly descend from the depths of the world.

Faced with that eternal and indestructible power of the Great Dao, Li Qing once again felt his own insignificance.

A mere grain of sand in the vast ocean!
As his soul became more deeply aligned with the Great Dao of Water, the vast power of the Water system surged forth like a tidal wave.

Although he still has two water-based Dao Source Stones that he obtained within the Sealed Heaven Realm, he does not intend to use them at the moment.

Li Qing has only recently entered the late Nascent Soul stage and still has a lot of room for improvement. That kind of Dao Source Stone is most suitable to play a role when entering a bottleneck period.

call!call!
The Tian Shui Lun Hai Dao Jing slowly began to rotate. A vast, pure, and boundless blue light permeated the heavens and earth.
-
Time flies like an arrow; the sun shines brightly like a rabbit in flight.

Three years later.

The northern region of Yunliang Kingdom, the Mirror Lake Plain.

A vast expanse of misty water, like the center of a spiritual lake in a clear, green realm.

Under the influence of an unknown force of nature, the massive islands merged together, transforming into a small landmass.

Surrounded by layers of dark, demonic clouds, towering, towering demonic peaks stand majestically.

Looking down, rows of black palaces loomed in and out of the depths of the demonic clouds, resembling a demonic lair.

At this moment.

Countless black beams of light shot up from the depths of the mountain peaks and then knelt in the air.

"Welcome, Holy Son!"

"Welcome, Elder Ouyang!"

With a deafening roar, two beams of black demonic light stepped out from the depths of the forbidden area, one after the other.

Countless admiring and fervent gazes converged on the young figure in black robes at the head of the group.

For all the disciples of the Yellow Springs Sect, the Holy Son is their spiritual totem, not to mention the Holy Son who has returned to the sect and has now become the third Nascent Soul stage expert after the sect master and the Crimson Fiend Elder.

"Get up!"

As Li Xuan nodded calmly, countless kneeling figures around him rose at the same time.

Ouyang Lan then spoke up, "The Sect Master and several Supreme Elders are already leading the sect's army on their way. Let's wait here!"

As time goes by.

The clear sky surrounding Mirror Lake suddenly turned dark. Deep within the rolling torrent of demonic clouds, a massive fleet of black demonic ships swept across the heavens and earth, approaching the center of Mirror Lake.

"Welcome to you, Lord Sect Master!"

"Welcome to the Supreme Elder!"

Five figures radiating immense power descended from the sky. The leader was none other than the Yellow Spring Demon Lord, who had now reached the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"Meet the sect master!"

Li Xuan and Ouyang Lan stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

Looking at the young man in black robes at the head, the Yellow Spring Demon Lord and the four Supreme Elders of the Yellow Spring Sect all had complex expressions in their eyes.

From this day forward, this former holy son of the Yellow Springs Sect will become an existence that surpasses the entire Yellow Springs Sect.

"Holy Son, there's no need for such formalities!"

The Demon Lord of the Underworld forced a smile onto his face.

"Leave the miscellaneous matters to the elders; we have important matters to discuss!"

"As ordered!"

The three newly appointed peak masters of the Yellow Springs Sect, along with several elders in power, bowed in unison.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

The Demon Lord of the Underworld, accompanied by five Supreme Elders and the Holy Son who had reappeared in the sect, descended into the forbidden area deep within the Underworld Sect's territory.

After being concealed by layers of demonic cloud restrictions.

The team, originally led by the Demon Lord of the Underworld, changed instantly.

"Meet the Holy Son!"

Apart from the young man in black robes who remained standing quietly, the other six people stopped and knelt down to pay their respects.

Even the high and mighty Yellow Spring Demon Lord bowed his head deeply at this moment.

If this scene were witnessed by countless disciples and elders of the Yellow Springs Sect outside, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Although the Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect holds a high position, how could he possibly make several Supreme Elders kneel and pay their respects, let alone the leader, who is the true ruler of the entire Yellow Springs Sect and the lofty Sect Master?

The outside world was naturally unaware of what had happened deep within the forbidden area, and even less aware that while both were titled "Holy Son," they were actually two completely different levels of identity.

One is a holy son within the Yellow Springs Sect, and the other is the true son of the Holy Sect.

"Have you thought about it?"

Li Xuan said calmly.

"The Yellow Springs Sect has always been a vassal of the Holy Sect, so we should naturally serve the Holy Son wholeheartedly!"

In fact, he had imagined this scene countless times, but he never expected it to come so soon.

As the sect leader of the Yellow Springs Sect, he naturally understood what the inheritance of the Holy Sect meant.

In ancient times, any successor of a holy lineage was a great figure who looked down upon all living beings.

The Primordial Demon Sect is known as the source of all demons.

This is a terrifying demonic sect that controls the entire demonic cultivation camp with its own power, and is also one of the masterminds behind the ancient events that influenced the entire spirit world in the great war between good and evil.

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

"From a child with no cultivation to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it took less than two hundred years!"

Thinking of this, the Yellow Spring Demon Lord was once again filled with shock.

It is likely that only a successor of the Holy Sect could possess such a speed of advancement that breaks the rules of heaven and earth.

"Only by following the Holy Son can the Yellow Springs Sect achieve new prosperity!"

A look of awe appeared in the eyes of the Yellow Spring Demon Lord.

Although he was at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the difference in cultivation level was meaningless in front of this mysterious and terrifying Holy Son.

Not to mention, this person now also possesses a terrifying late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit.

"In that case, from now on you will work under me!"

Li Xuan nodded calmly.

Although the Yellow Springs Sect was not weak, it was not particularly important to him. It only had the Yellow Springs Demon Lord, who was at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In comparison, what he needed was the identity of the Yellow Springs Sect's Holy Son, which would make it easier for him to act later.

Of course, it's a good thing that the Yellow Springs Sect is willing to submit.

His identity naturally poses a deterrent to the Yellow Springs Sect, and there is no need to worry about the Yellow Springs Sect betraying him in the future. Compared with other forces, the Yellow Springs Sect is at least worth cultivating.

"Thank you, Holy Son!"

The Demon Lord of the Underworld once again led the five Supreme Elders in bowing: "From now on, the Underworld Sect will obey the Holy Son's arrangements in everything and become a sharp blade under the Holy Son's command!"

"Let's go into the main hall first!"

Then the group descended together toward the council hall in the distance.

in the hall.

Li Xuan sat in the head seat, while Huang Quan Demon Lord and others stood to the side.

"Has the Heavenly Demon Sect already made a move?"

"Reporting to the Holy Son!"

The Yellow Spring Demon Lord bowed and said, "Along with the Yellow Spring Sect and other demonic sects, under the arrangement of the Heavenly Demon Sect, we have begun to fully advance into the Yunliang Kingdom!"

"Judging from the current situation, the reappearance of the Yin Corpse Sect is probably not far off."

"interesting!"

A smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

"This is a rare opportunity!"

"Once the Yin Corpse Sect appears, the four top powers—Hehuan Sect, Shangqing Sect, Lingbao Sect, and Huadan Sect—will inevitably make a big move. Even if Fuling Island cannot intervene due to the pressure from the sea race, the combined strength of these four top powers alone could trigger an unprecedented war."

"As per the instructions of the Heavenly Demon Sect, all our sects must go all out to help the Yin Corpse Sect resolve this crisis!"

As they spoke, the Yellow Spring Demon Lord and the five Supreme Elders also smiled.

It’s different in the past.

The Yellow Springs Sect was deeply worried about this. A battle of this level would inevitably be extremely dangerous. Apart from the sect leader, the Yellow Springs Sect only had one Crimson Demon Lord at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while the other four were only at the early-Nascent Soul stage.

Such strength is extremely weak on the entire battlefield.

But now the Yellow Springs Sect has the Holy Son personally overseeing it, not to mention that the Holy Son also has a terrifying late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirit under his command.

This war, which the Yellow Springs Sect considered its greatest crisis, has now become a new opportunity for the sect.

"Your strength is still too weak, and the sect needs to develop more rapidly!"

Li Xuan glanced at the group and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan Demon Lord and the others showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

To be honest, the current Yellow Springs Sect is indeed somewhat inadequate compared to the Holy Son, who already has terrifying ghost spirits at the late stage of the fourth rank.

But there's really nothing we can do about it.

The development of a sect takes time, and the Yellow Springs Sect is no exception. Moreover, the Yellow Springs Sect has been growing rapidly in recent years and has gained two more Nascent Soul Grand Elders.

However, compared to the improvement of this holy son, it is undoubtedly too insignificant.

"Let's be more aggressive going forward and seize this opportunity. With me personally overseeing things, there's no need to be too conservative!"

"I will obey the Holy Son's arrangements!"

The Demon Lord of the Underworld and the others nodded excitedly.

Then, the Demon Lord of the Underworld reported on the changes in the sect over the years.

"There is one more matter that I need to report to the Holy Son!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Xuan looked towards the Yellow Springs Demon Lord.

"The identity of the Holy Son has not yet been made public, and we have not reported it to the Heavenly Demon Sect. Soon the Heavenly Demon Sect will convene all parties to discuss the subsequent action plan. What are the Holy Son's plans?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Xuan said calmly, "Then let's make this public!"

"I will also participate in the subsequent major battles."
