Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1422 Decision, Test

Deep in the northern regions.

Surrounded by peaks, a towering black demonic peak seems to stretch across the heavens and earth, suppressing everything.

Thick, black demonic energy descended from the sky, transforming into a mysterious demonic realm, where all sorts of strange phenomena of demons running rampant automatically emerged.

And at this time.

Streaks of black light, radiating immense power, continuously pierced the heavens and earth, descending towards the demon palace atop the giant peak.

Around the Demon Palace stood a black sculpture, but strangely, none of the statues had a specific image. Endless black demonic patterns constantly intertwined and transformed into thousands of different faces, including ferocious ghost heads, saviors of the world, and so on, filled with the unknown and bewilderment.

The entire quiet, black demon palace was like an invisible and formless abyss of demons, eerie and mysterious.

Meanwhile, deep within the Demon Palace...

The eight strongest demonic sects from the Heavenly Demon Sect camp have gathered together.

Sixteen figures stood in neat rows, led by a hunched old man with black hair. Against the backdrop of a vast and menacing aura, the old man resembled an ancient beast ready to awaken at any moment, devouring everything in its path.

At this moment, the Yin Sha Sect Master, who was the only Nascent Soul stage expert among the crowd, did not attract much attention. Almost all eyes were on a young figure in black robes at the back of the main hall.

Even the old man who was the sect leader of the Yin Sha Sect would occasionally glance at the young figure in black robes behind him.

The constant sweeping glances revealed an undisguised shock.

"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Huangquan Demon Lord was hiding his abilities so well!"

A short, middle-aged man in a blood-red Taoist robe had a complex expression on his face.

"I knew it! How could such a heaven-defying prodigy with a demonic holy body suddenly disappear? It turns out that all of this was orchestrated by you, fellow Daoist!"

As the only publicly known Demonic Saint Body in the Heavenly Demon Sect, Li Xuan's mysterious disappearance back then caused a sensation not only within the Yellow Springs Sect but also sparked much discussion among various demonic sects.

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

The middle-aged man from the Blood Soul Sect couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of shock.

In less than two hundred years, this once mysteriously vanished Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect has grown into a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert. Such a cultivation speed is truly too heaven-defying.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. This was all the Holy Son's own decision!"

The Demon Lord of the Underworld felt a sense of helplessness, guessing that everyone around him thought that the disappearance of the Holy Son was his doing.

Little did they know the truth behind all this: his master-servant relationship with this holy son had long since been reversed.

"The Holy Son of Xuan Shi truly lives up to his reputation as the Holy Body of the Demonic Path. Such a rapid increase in his cultivation level truly puts us to shame!"

The elder from the Sha Po Sect, who was at the late Nascent Soul stage, also took the initiative to praise it.

"Sect Master Yin Sha is too kind. Xuan Shi is merely progressing a little faster than other disciples of the same level. It's nothing to boast about!"

Li Xuan stood up to respond to the continuous congratulations from everyone.

"A little too fast!"

In particular, the three sect leaders of the Blood Soul Sect among the eight major demonic sects secretly smiled bitterly. Back then, when they were only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, this Holy Son of the Yellow Spring Sect was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Now, the three of them are still at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but this Holy Son of the Yellow Spring Sect has already broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Compared to this holy son of the Yellow Springs Sect, the three of them have wasted nearly two hundred years of their lives.

"Congratulations, Sect Master Huangquan! With the Holy Son of Xuan Shi overseeing you, your sect's future is limitless."

Under the continuous compliments from everyone, the Demon Lord of the Underworld could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

Among the eight major sects, the Yellow Springs Sect's strength is only average. As the sect leader of the Yellow Springs Sect, has he ever received any flattery from the other sect leaders? Not to mention that even the usually aloof sect leader of the Yin Sha Sect took the initiative to exchange a few pleasantries with him.

It should be noted that the Yin Sha Sect Master, a powerful figure at the late Nascent Soul stage, has always maintained a high and mighty demeanor.

At this moment.

A tall, slender figure in black walked into the front of the Demon Palace.

Her simple black dress could not conceal the noble and mysterious aura emanating from the beautiful woman.

Those seemingly gentle footsteps carried a special mystery, as if stepping on everyone's hearts, instantly stirring up the calm minds of the Nascent Soul Demon Lords around them.

"I've seen the saint!"

Everyone, including the elder from the Yin Sha Sect, stood up and bowed deeply.

"Esteemed sect leaders and elders, there's no need for such formalities!"

The beautiful woman in the black dress appeared before the crowd, revealing a perfect face that seemed to have been created by the very essence of heaven and earth, requiring no alteration whatsoever.

Her calm, beautiful eyes seemed to hold endless changes within them, making them impossible to fathom.

At this moment, however, no one in the hall dared to look at it for long.

Compared to this Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, even the Holy Son of the Yellow Spring Sect, who had previously shocked everyone, seemed ordinary.

This is because the cultivation level of this Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect is already close to the late Nascent Soul stage.

All of this was accomplished in less than two hundred years.

While everyone bowed their heads.

Only Li Xuan did not deliberately adopt a respectful attitude; instead, he looked at the confidante heading towards the true self with a hint of curiosity.

"Such rapid improvement in cultivation! This person's cultivation is probably only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage!"

When he was cultivating at the Yellow Springs Sect, Qin Wanqing had already seen through his identity, so there was no need for him to continue pretending now.

When Qin Wanqing, who was standing in front of the main hall, saw Li Xuan, her beautiful eyes also flickered slightly.

"Please have a seat, everyone!"

As Qin Wanqing took her seat, everyone else followed suit.

"The purpose of inviting all the sect leaders and elders here today is to discuss the follow-up plans and arrangements!"

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

The eight major demonic sects spoke in unison.

"The Sect Master specifically instructed me to explain the current state of the world to all the Sect Masters and Elders!"

Qin Wanqing did not continue with polite pleasantries. Compared with the Heavenly Demon Sect, the eight major demon sects below were too insignificant and had no right to disobey the Heavenly Demon Sect's orders.

"In fact, as you all know to some extent, the reason we have traveled so far to gather in Yunliang Kingdom is to help the Yin Corpse Sect resolve the crisis and conflicts that have arisen in the world!"

"But what you may not know is that this operation is not only for the benefit of the Yin Corpse Sect, but also for our future plans."

The group of Nascent Soul Demon Lords immediately became serious, indicating that there was clearly something else going on in this operation.

"After this battle, the Yin Corpse Sect will hand over the southern region of Yunliang Kingdom to us as a foothold. At that time, our Heavenly Demon Sect and all the other demon sects will have to relocate to this land."

"Relocate the clan!"

Everyone, including the old man from the Yin Sha Sect, had a drastic change in expression.

You have to understand that they finally managed to gain a foothold in the cultivation world of the Yuanhuang Domain, and they were just entering a stage of full-scale development. Unexpectedly, under these circumstances, the Heavenly Demon Sect actually wants to move into the Taiyuan territory.

With their strength and status, they naturally already knew just how cruel the interior of the Taiyuan Realm was.

With five supreme powers dominating the world, numerous ancient alien races lurking behind the scenes awaiting their chance to emerge, and even more terrifying sea creatures eyeing the outer ocean with predatory intent. In such a harsh environment, how could the Yuanhuang Domain possibly be more peaceful?

"I am aware of the doubts of the sect leaders and elders!"

Qin Wanqing calmly continued, "However, this is the sect leader's decision!"

"Although the Yuanhuang Domain is more stable, it is not suitable for our future development. Neither the Tianling Realm nor the Guxuan Realm, the two great cultivation worlds, will allow us to expand endlessly. In comparison, although the Taiyuan Realm is chaotic and cruel, it is more suitable for our rise."

A strange light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

Things are definitely not that simple.

Although development in the Yuanhuang Domain will face pressure from the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the Ancient Profound Realm, it is sufficient to meet the development and expansion needs of the Heavenly Demon Sect and a number of other demonic sects in the short term.

Unless something major happens, the Heavenly Demon Sect has no reason to choose to relocate to this increasingly cruel Taiyuan Realm at this time.

Although the Heavenly Demon Sect is terrifyingly powerful, it is not strong enough to sweep away all threats within the Taiyuan territory.

"The Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, it turns out the reason they cooperated was to jointly deal with future threats."

While Li Xuan was pondering this in secret.

Qin Wanqing has begun to announce the subsequent action plan on behalf of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"The Yin Corpse Sect will publicly announce its emergence in a year, at which time it will launch a full-scale offensive against the southern region of Yunliang Kingdom. Judging from the current situation, the four top powers—Hehuan Sect, Shangqing Sect, Lingbao Sect, and Huadan Sect—will not choose to stand idly by and will inevitably launch a full-scale offensive."

"To facilitate future battle plans, all sect leaders and elders will henceforth follow the instructions of the Yin Sha Sect Master and work together with the Yin Corpse Sect to deal with any possible offensives."

Qin Wanqing slowly stood up.

All the Nascent Soul Demon Lords in the main hall stood up at the same time.

"From now on, the southern region of Yunliang Kingdom will be our new base. Together with the Yin Corpse Sect, we will fight against external crises from the south and the north. I hope you will all make preparations after you return."

Inside the Demon Palace.

The eight demonic sects and their followers, each with a different expression, withdrew.

In particular, the announcement of the relocation of the Heavenly Demon Sect caught them all off guard.

One can imagine how intense and brutal the Taiyuan Realm will be in the future.

They found it hard to understand why they would abandon the Yuanhuang Domain, which they had worked so hard to cultivate, and instead move their entire clan into this cruel world.

As everyone left, only two quiet figures remained in the main hall.

"I've seen the saint!"

Li Xuan was naturally aware of the other party's purpose in keeping him here.

"Elder Qing is also in the Taiyuan Realm?"

Qin Wanqing smiled and slowly walked towards Li Xuan.

"A period of quiet meditation in the southern lands!"

There's no need to hide this matter, especially since the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect is my confidante. Even from a purely self-interested perspective, there's no conflict between us.

"It seems Elder Qing is already planning for the opportunities in the Demonfall Space!"

Qin Wanqing couldn't help but smile.

Elder Qing is not one to act without a reason; he plans things out before he acts. His visit this time must be to prepare for the opening of the Demonfall Space.

"I wonder what Elder Qing's current cultivation level is?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes.

"Late Nascent Soul stage!"

"Late Nascent Soul stage?"

Qin Wanqing, who had been calm, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face. Then, her beautiful face blossomed into a smile again: "As expected of the man I value, he actually broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage before me. If it weren't for waiting for the Demon Fall Space, I would have already started my own advancement."

Looking across this sealed land, there are not many people she cannot see through, and Elder Qing is undoubtedly the most mysterious among them.

Such a rapid advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage might seem astonishing to others, but it was perfectly normal for Elder Qing.

at the same time.

Li Xuan was also carefully observing the woman who was his true love.

In terms of talent, this Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect is definitely an outstanding figure in this sealed land, far surpassing those in the Taiyuan Realm.

Although he didn't know much about the Heavenly Demon Body, he did know a bit about the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Among the ancient demonic factions, apart from the Primordial Demonic Sect, the Heavenly Demonic Sect is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying demonic sects in the entire demonic faction, with an unimaginable ancient heritage.

Even more mysterious than the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Even though he possessed the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect, he dared not underestimate this Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He only received the inheritance of the Initial Demon Sect's techniques, while the person in front of him possessed all the resources and support of the Heavenly Demon Sect, making his future potential unimaginable.

"I did consider your background at one time!"

Qin Wanqing suddenly smiled and looked at Li Xuan: "Now it seems that everything is self-evident."

"Elder Qing brought you here to help you seize the demonic opportunities within the Demon Fall Space, right?"

"For Elder Qing, a man of iron will and a single-minded pursuit of the Dao, to go to such lengths and schemes for someone, it could not be an outsider."

Li Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that this intelligent Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect has already guessed his true relationship with the original.

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

Qin Wanqing chuckled and shook her head: "My beloved Elder Qing is truly remarkable!"

Even with her current understanding of this world, she could hardly imagine it.

The first inheritance of the demonic path, not to mention being placed in the sealed land, was the goal pursued by countless powerful demonic cultivators throughout their lives, even in ancient times.

Every demonic cultivator would want to join that demonic sect.

But now, the opportunity that countless demonic cultivators have been longing for has been easily obtained by a cultivator. Such a stroke of luck is truly unimaginable.

As the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, she naturally knew about the core inheritance within the Beginning Demon Sect—the Dao Seed Demon Embryo.

That was a legacy that struck fear into the hearts of countless races and forces.

After all, no one knows whether the person next to them is an incarnation of the Primordial Demon Sect.

Rumor has it that many renowned experts were eventually discovered to be incarnations of powerful figures from the Primordial Demon Sect.

"Rest assured, only I know about this!"

Qin Wanqing smiled gently and said, "My relationship with Elder Qing is far greater than any external interests!"

"Since he is currently in seclusion, please convey my message: I will personally go to see him once I have settled the current affairs."
