Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1429 Meeting, Crisis

boom! boom! boom!
Vast beams of divine light descended upon the world like divine punishment.

The vast expanse of emerald green sky and earth came to a complete boil, like a turbulent ocean, constantly surging and churning.

And below this emerald green world.

A figure exuding an ancient and profound aura stood in mid-air, silently watching the tremendous changes in the sky and earth.

Liu Ying's cold, vertical pupils constantly shifted between madness and calm.

The emerald green scales on his refined face also cycled between condensing and dissipating.

An undeniable, deep, and malevolent aura emanated from the depths of his body, growing ever more terrifying.

At this moment.

A flicker of emotion finally appeared on Liu Ying's cold and ruthless face, revealing a gentle smile.

The savagery and madness deep within his vertical pupils were forcibly suppressed.

call!call!
But then, in the distance, in a corner of the emerald green landscape, a passage appeared.

A massive green serpent demon king rushed out of the passage, and on its enormous head stood a young figure in a green robe.

"Fellow Daoist Qing!"

"Liu Daoyou!"

Two old friends, who were once very close, have now reunited at the place where they last worked together before parting ways.

At this moment, both Li Qing and Liu Ying wore warm smiles.

Perhaps compared to so-called friends in the cultivation world, the two did not have much interaction over a long period of time, but this did not hinder their deep friendship.

Both of them were solitary individuals, each pursuing their own path. Their seemingly short-lived acquaintance had already made them the most familiar old friends to each other.

During the more than one hundred years that Li Qing cultivated in the Taiyuan Realm, he had very few close friends, and Liu Ying was one of them.

This was especially true for Liu Ying, who spent many years cultivating his Dao heart in the mortal world, dispelling the resentment deep within his bloodline, and had very little contact with cultivators outside the world. Among them, the only one with whom he had close cooperation was Li Qing.

Of course, this deep friendship also stems from their mutual appreciation for each other.

"More than two hundred years have passed, I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Liu would have reached this point!"

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

Even Jiang Yue'er, that proud daughter of heaven who has the entire Fuling Island to rely on, has only recently broken through to the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, while this fellow Daoist Liu Ying has already begun preparing to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Such a rapid improvement in cultivation is truly astonishing. It should be noted that he was able to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm only because of numerous fortunate opportunities.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, please don't make fun of me!"

Liu Ying regained his former refined demeanor, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"How could I be the kind of person who chases rapid advancement in cultivation? Such advancement is not what I want. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in my current predicament!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

What others could only dream of was rejected by this fellow Daoist Liu.

You should know that even he went to great lengths to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage back then.

Of course, he also understood that Liu Ying was not being hypocritical when she said that.

How could someone who willingly entered the mortal world to teach for a thousand years be the kind of person who is impatient, reckless, and single-mindedly pursues cultivation improvement?

"To be honest, my current predicament is entirely my own doing!"

Liu Ying looked helpless: "Fellow Daoist Qing, do you remember when we both obtained the bodies of those ancient Teng Snake descendants?"

"Of course I remember!"

Li Qing nodded.

"Back then, I thought I understood the bloodline of the serpent race of heaven and earth enough, and I foolishly thought that I could break through to the fourth level by refining the ancient serpent bloodline within that ancient Teng serpent!"

"Who would have thought that the existence of such an ancient Teng Snake was far beyond our comprehension?"

Liu Ying then recounted everything that had befallen him.

It turns out that after Liu Ying completed his advancement through the bloodline of the ancient Teng Snake, he discovered that the power of that bloodline was not something he could refine. Instead, he suffered a misfortune because of his good fortune, which caused the snake bloodline of the demon cultivator he had cultivated to be devoured, leading to a complete loss of control.

Most importantly, that ancient Teng Snake bloodline was originally an incomplete bloodline, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not control it.

"Later, when I was in dire straits, that ancient and mysterious being whom Fellow Daoist Qing had also met took the initiative to find me!" Liu Ying's face became more thoughtful: "He and I reached a new agreement!"

"He will help me completely transform my bloodline into the ancient Teng Snake bloodline. In exchange, he asked me to continue guarding the Pang Snake Mountain Range in his place. What happened later was what Fellow Daoist Qing saw. Since I completely transformed into the ancient Teng Snake bloodline, my cultivation has been increasing rapidly and uncontrollably."

After hearing the whole story, Li Qing couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

No wonder this Fellow Daoist Liu's cultivation improved so quickly; it turns out he received help from that ancient and mysterious being.

"That one?"

Li Qing looked at Liu Ying again.

“That person has already left the Snake Mountain Range to seek his own opportunities!” Liu Ying said slowly.

Although he made a pact with that ancient being, he knew very little about that being.

Boom! !

Just then, a deafening roar interrupted their reminiscing.

A magnificent pink spear nearly pierced through the poisonous sky above, causing peach blossoms to bloom automatically. Each peach blossom phantom was spinning rapidly, tearing the heavens and earth apart.

"What does Fellow Daoist Liu intend for me to do?"

Li Qing calmly gazed at the dramatic changes in the sky: "With my current abilities, I am barely able to protect your advancement!"

Faced with such a sincere promise, Liu Ying's face was full of gratitude.

He had no doubt about this fellow Daoist Qing's methods and strength.

Even if the enemies outside were two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hehuan Sect and the Lingbao Sect, he would not doubt the authenticity of this promise.

"Originally, my chances of winning against this calamity were at most fifty-fifty!"

A hint of confidence flashed in Liu Ying's eyes: "However, with Fellow Daoist Qing's help, we can increase our chances of winning by another 20%!"

"Then I should congratulate Fellow Daoist Liu in advance!"

Li Qing smiled.

In fact, he still had great confidence in this fellow Daoist Liu.

When faced with a life-or-death situation, the key factor that truly plays a decisive role lies within oneself.

He firmly believed that with this fellow Daoist Liu's strong Dao heart, he could overcome this tribulation.

"Just tell me what you need me to do!"

Liu Ying didn't hesitate and directly expressed her thoughts.

"This great calamity has two parts!"

"Firstly, when I advance in my cultivation, I will lose control of the Poisonous Land of Death, and powerful figures from the Joyful Union Sect and the Spirit Treasure Sect will seize the opportunity to enter."

"Originally, I wanted to hide deep underground in the cave where that ancient being used to cultivate and break through. Although this would shield me from external interference, once I advanced, the power of the ancient Teng Snake hidden deep in the earth's veins would also rapidly converge on me, increasing the risk of losing control. But now that Fellow Daoist Qing is here, this calamity can be resolved!"

"The second tribulation is the one that will truly be fatal for me!"

Liu Ying's face was full of seriousness: "Although the ancient Teng Snake bloodline is terrifyingly powerful, it has exceeded the range that I can control!"

"On the path of demon cultivators, the greatest risk is losing control and being corrupted by the bloodline of those ancient Teng Snakes, turning one into a monster that only knows how to kill."

"Before I break through to the next level, I want to acknowledge Fellow Daoist Qing as my master!"

"Accept me as your master?"

Li Qing couldn't help but show surprise.

At this moment, Liu Ying nodded without hesitation. He naturally understood what this choice meant.

Given the methods of this fellow Daoist Qing, once he acknowledges Qing as his master, even if he is fortunate enough to break through to the late stage of the fourth rank, it will be difficult for him to forcibly break free from Qing's control.

In other words, his choice was nothing short of a huge gamble.

He was gambling his future spiritual path on the other person's character.

He was betting that the other party would voluntarily give up the divine soul imprint he had planted after his advancement.

Perhaps in the entire Sealed Land, few people would be willing to give up a late-stage Nascent Soul combatant they had acquired, but he still believed in his choice.

This Seido-youkai is one of those very few people.

"I want to use the soul imprint planted by Fellow Daoist Qing to suppress the erosion of the ancient Teng Snake bloodline and keep some clarity in the depths of my soul."

As he spoke, Liu Ying smiled frankly: "If I cannot survive this calamity, I can ask Fellow Daoist Qing to kill me, so that my remaining body will not harm the world."

"At that time, that body will be the last gift I give to you, fellow Daoist!"

Li Qing slowly looked at Liu Ying: "Fellow Daoist Liu, do you truly trust me so much?"

"Are you willing to entrust your future path to my single thought?"

"Of course I believe in Fellow Daoist Qing!" Liu Ying smiled frankly.

"In that case, I will not let Fellow Daoist Liu down!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and nodded.

next moment.

Liu Ying instantly transformed into a bizarre figure covered in emerald green scales, and her cold and tyrannical vertical pupils reappeared.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, let's make our move!"

The moment Liu Ying activated her inner power, her voice trembled slightly, a testament to the great calamity she was facing.

Li Qing did not hesitate.

A massive surge of divine soul power erupted instantly, and countless invisible fluctuations rapidly condensed in the air, eventually transforming into a heart-shaped black divine soul mark that fell toward Liu Ying's head.

In an instant, Li Qing deeply felt the immense pressure that Liu Ying was facing.

Deep within its consciousness, it was already shrouded by another ancient and malevolent will, which, needless to say, must be the bloodline of that ancient Teng Snake.

Even with his powerful soul imprint at the late Nascent Soul stage, he was unable to break through the obstruction of that ancient will for a time.

He was also unable to forcibly activate the soul imprint, lest he damage Liu Ying's sea of ​​consciousness.

Fortunately, Liu Ying cooperated fully and used her own divine soul power to forcefully suppress that ancient will.

A moment later, Li Qing felt a powerful sensation deep within his soul.

If he wanted, he could easily cause Liu Ying's soul to break down.

"I hope that Fellow Daoist Qing can continuously disturb that soul imprint when I am about to lose control, so that I can retain some clarity!"

Liu Ying bowed deeply.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, you can rest assured, I will handle the threats from outside!"

Li Qing smiled calmly.

Although he was unwilling to make enemies with the Hehuan Sect and the Lingbao Sect for no reason, he felt that this price was worth it in order to protect Liu Ying's path of cultivation.

In contrast, he valued Liu Ying's future more.

This old friend who is a demon cultivator will surely be one of the most dazzling figures after this sealed land is unsealed.

That was the legacy of demon cultivators that had vanished in ancient times. The fact that Liu Ying was able to obtain it and reach this point is enough to show the fortune of heaven and earth that he possesses.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, there's no need to feel too much pressure!"

Liu Ying chuckled, rapidly forming hand seals. Streaks of green light quickly condensed, eventually transforming into a wing-shaped mark that fell towards Li Qing.

"This is the mark of the ancient Teng Snake, which can help Fellow Daoist Qing control the ancient Teng poison power in the outer area. Combined with Fellow Daoist Qing's own abilities, it should be sufficient."

After making the final arrangements.

Liu Ying bowed deeply once more: "I trouble you, fellow Daoist, to protect me!"

"Congratulations in advance on your successful advancement!"

After returning the greeting, Li Qing transformed into a blur and soared into the sky.

at the same time.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
Liu Ying no longer suppressed the growing power within her body and let out an ancient murmur.

Its entire body was once again covered by dense green scales.

A vast, ancient, malevolent aura poured forth.

The green poisonous fog also surged forth. Whoosh! Whoosh! A pair of dark green phantom wings, obscuring the sky, stretched out from the depths of the vast poisonous fog. The phantom of the ancient Teng Snake reappeared in the world.
-
"No wonder it concerns such a legendary secret about the demon saint!"

A tall, black-haired old man held a giant black hammer magic weapon, his cold gaze fixed on the emerald green world below.

Even if this place is not related to the secrets of the Demon Saint, it must be the place where an ancient powerhouse with the bloodline of the Teng Snake fell.

Even after countless years, it still contains such terrifying power.

"Fellow Daoist Tao Huan, go all out!"

The black-haired old man looked into the distance at the tall, thin middle-aged man who had revealed his true form, wearing a pink Taoist robe.

"Very well, it's time for this world to reveal itself to the world!"

Tao Huan Zhenjun chuckled softly.

call!call!
The immense and overwhelming pressure intensified once again.

The surging pink clouds quickly condensed, transforming into a vast ocean as if it were solid, from which hundreds of peach blossoms, hundreds of feet tall, emerged.

On the other side, the black-haired old man was surrounded by a burst of spiritual light, and the black giant hammer in his hand seemed to have come back to life, radiating endless golden ancient patterns.

at the same time.

A group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the two top forces, the Hehuan Sect and the Lingbao Sect, were also looking into the distance with excited expressions.

If there are truly hidden opportunities within that world, they will undoubtedly be the first to benefit.

Boom! !

Just as the two late-stage Nascent Soul experts were about to unleash their full power in an attack,

But then, the emerald green world below began to operate consciously.

The endless emerald green poisonous mist transformed into a massive vortex, blocking the way towards the vast expanse of pink peach blossoms.

A massive black sun shot into the sky from another direction.

A vast and heavy oppressive force enveloped the heavens and earth.

Streams of black, heavy water intertwined and surged toward the black-haired elder of the Lingbao Sect.

"how is this possible?"

Looking at the dramatic changes below, both True Monarch Tao Huan and the other black-haired elder were shocked.

Both sects have always regarded the Land of Destruction of Poison as their own opportunity.

Unexpectedly, someone had taken the lead over the two major sects and seized the opportunity within the Tengdu Death Land.

"Who are you?"

The black-haired old man stared intently down at them.

But from within the vast torrent of black, heavy water, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe stepped out.
