Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1435 How to break the situation
Lakeside Residence.

The misty rain and the vast, ethereal fog enveloped the world like a veil.

On a majestic sacred peak, shrouded by layers of restrictions.

A young figure dressed in a green robe, holding a jade tablet, stood quietly between heaven and earth.

A hint of sadness appeared deep in Li Qing's calm eyes.

Unexpectedly, just as he emerged from seclusion, he received news of the passing of an old friend.

The message from Jiang Yue'er clearly explained the causes and consequences of Wang Yan and his family's destruction.

A powerful member of the Soul Clan suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the Fuyue Islands, leading to the destruction of the Wang family. After rushing to his family, Wang Yan fought fiercely with the Soul Clan expert, ultimately perishing together with him.

Jiang Yue'er also conveyed two other messages.

Firstly, the reason Wang Yan was able to perish together with a mid-stage fourth-tier Soul Clan member was because of the three Annihilation Pearls from the treasure vault of Fuling Island. Those three pearls were obtained by exchanging the body of a Ziyang Yun Clan expert that Li Qing had given to Wang Yan.

Secondly, the entire island of Fuling is engaged in a massive invasion by the Sea Clan, the Ziyang Cloud Clan, and the Soul Clan. As Huo Rong Zhenjun is in seclusion, Jiang Yue'er, as the backbone of their faction, is too busy to spare the time to accompany Wang Yan back to the family.

Seemingly worried about displeasing Li Qing, Jiang Yue'er still expressed deep remorse in the second message.

"Life is unpredictable, like clouds turning into grey dogs!"

Li Qing recalled the scene of their first meeting.

At that time, Wang Yan was the family's prodigy, on whom the entire Wang family placed high hopes, and he was full of vigor and ambition.

He is sincere and energetic, and he takes the initiative to challenge various geniuses to hone his skills and cultivate the heart of a strong warrior.

It was during that challenge that the two began to admire each other.

Later, he also accelerated his cultivation path in the Taiyuan Realm by leveraging Wang Yan's network of connections.

"Success and failure both stem from family!"

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh softly.

If it weren't for the deep ties with his family, with Wang Yan's strong will and his powerful talent in possessing a fire-type spiritual body, he would have had a chance to go much further on the path of cultivation and wouldn't have been trapped in the early Nascent Soul stage.

The family that Wang Yan once protected with all his might was also wiped out along with him.

"From this day forward, we will lose another old friend!"

Since he began his spiritual practice, there have been very few people he could call old friends, and now one less has been lost.

He didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yue'er's final expression of apology.

As the other party said, Fuling Island is already in a precarious situation. As one of the core members of Fuling Island, Jiang Yue'er cannot be distracted by Wang Yan's family affairs. It is estimated that the other party did not expect that Wang Yan would unexpectedly perish at the hands of the Soul Clan.

Li Qing stood atop the mountain peak, gazing into the distance at the misty sea of ​​clouds.

The howling wind kept blowing against his face.

For some reason, as his cultivation level improved step by step, he cherished the friendship of the past even more than before.

Perhaps the existence of these old friends of Wang Yan was the anchor point for the somewhat diluted humanity in his heart.

Now that he has reached his current level of cultivation and status, it is very difficult for him to make true friends and friendships.

As he continuously comprehends the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, he himself is also being eroded and influenced by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. His inner emotions can no longer be as abundant as they were when he was at the bottom of the cultivation world; they will only become increasingly faint.

Therefore, the friendship of the past becomes all the more precious.

A long time has passed.

The sadness in his heart began to slowly dissipate.

Information about the new and tremendous changes in the Taiyuan Realm also began to surface rapidly in his mind.

In the present-day South China Sea, under the combined attack of the sea tribes and two ancient alien races, Fuling Island has begun to suffer repeated defeats.

A new world order has emerged, even surpassing the past.

Most importantly, it will be difficult for him to remain a bystander this time.

The crisis on Fuling Island is different from the catastrophe caused by the emergence of the Yin Corpse Sect in the past. The latter was only related to the interests of a few major sects, while the former is closely related to his own interests.

The moment the Demonfall Space showed signs of emerging, the Sea Clan and two ancient alien races launched an invasion, their purpose being self-evident.

The three forces joining forces must be aiming to seize the sea area in the Demon Meteor Space Descending Realm.

And the current news confirms his judgment.

The combined invasion of the sea race and the two ancient alien races focused on the direction of the Demon Meteor Space Descending within the Fuyue Islands.

"If Fuling Island is defeated, and the Demon Fall Space Realm falls into the hands of the Sea Clan and the two ancient alien races, it will be extremely detrimental to my future plans!"

Although there is a conflict between him and Fuling Island in the struggle for the Demonfall Space due to their respective interests, this is not an absolute hostile position. There is still some room for maneuver. However, if the world near the Demonfall Space is lost, he will have to face the threat of the sea race and many powerful beings from the two ancient alien races when he acts alone.

Various thoughts and ideas surged rapidly in Li Qing's mind.

Even if it's for his own benefit, he needs to find a way to help Fuling Island avert this great calamity.

Right now, even if he goes all out, he alone cannot turn the tide.

Whether it's the sea race or those two ancient alien races, there are many powerful individuals. The Ziyang Cloud Clan and the Soul Clan have even descended from the outer realm, so they must possess mysterious and powerful trump cards from outside the realm.

"Although the four top powers, including the Hehuan Sect, have announced their support for Fuling Island, it is likely that it will still be difficult to change the current situation. These four powers are unable to exert their full strength!"

Li Qing looked thoughtful.

The existence of the Yin Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect is like a sharp blade buried deep underground, which may be drawn at any time and slash at the four peak forces from behind. Under such circumstances, how could the four peak forces of the Hehuan Sect not be on guard?

"Unless both sides can temporarily set aside their grudges and join forces to deal with the threat posed by the sea creatures and the two ancient alien races."
-
Not long after, Lakeside Residence welcomed another familiar guest.

A streak of black, illusory light pierced through layers of restrictions and landed atop the spiritual peak.

"Elder Qing has never taken the initiative to seek me out!"

Qin Wanqing slowly appeared with a light smile on her face.

"The world is in constant flux, and Wanqing, as the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, is at a time when she is very busy. How could I possibly disturb her without cause!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and said, "The reason I invited Wan Qing here is because of the current situation in the world!"

"Is it about the South China Sea?"

Qin Wanqing's face also turned serious.

"Not bad!"

Li Qing nodded: "What are your two sects' views on the current situation in the Linan Sea?"

"Stand aside and watch!"

Qin Wanqing's seemingly joking tone revealed the attitudes of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect.

"Elder Qing also knows that the four top powers, including the Hehuan Sect, are still at war with our two sects. The changes in the Linnan Sea region have invisibly reduced the pressure on us!"

"If Fuling Island continues to retreat and cower, the Demonfall Space will fall completely into the hands of the sea race and the two ancient alien races!"

Li Qing gazed intently at Qin Wanqing: "The celestial opportunities arising from the dissipation of the Demon Fall Space are something both your sects seek, so in this respect, there is still a common interest between you." Qin Wanqing replied with a hint of helplessness, "Elder Qing's words are not untrue!"

"Especially those two ancient alien races, who descended from this realm, must have unfathomable methods. If they succeed, the opportunities in the Demonfall Space might undergo new changes!"

"However, the current situation is complex. We are not enemies in the usual sense, but a battle between good and evil!"

Li Qing nodded slightly.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Qin Wanqing's words.

The Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect represent the path of demonic cultivation, while the five top forces, including Fuling Island, represent the lineage of immortal cultivators. The two sides are also locked in an irreconcilable conflict.

"But I actually see this as an opportunity for both of you!"

"Oh?"

A hint of interest appeared in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes: "What opportunity?"

"A chance to completely integrate into the Taiyuan Realm!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "Right now, the five top powers, including Fuling Island, are facing enormous pressure. If your two sects are willing to join forces with them at this time to fight against the threat of the sea race and the two ancient alien races, they will definitely acquiesce to your existence!"

"Moreover, the Demonfall Space is not only related to the interests of the five sects, but also to the interests of your two sects. Isn't this a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?"

Li Qing continued meaningfully, "Especially for the Heavenly Demon Sect, this is a rare opportunity!"

"If the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect want to continue to grow, the mere Yunliang Kingdom is clearly not enough to accommodate them. The Heavenly Demon Sect must find a new place to live!"

"Elder Qing, are you referring to the South China Sea?"

Qin Wanqing said slowly.

"Not bad!"

Li Qing nodded: "The South China Sea is vast and boundless. Even the area that has been explored so far is no less than that of the Taiyuan Realm continent. Looking at the entire Taiyuan Realm, there is probably no place more suitable for the development of the Heavenly Demon Sect than the South China Sea."

Qin Wanqing looked thoughtful.

From the moment the Heavenly Demon Sect moved its headquarters, it had already determined its future expansion plans. The mere southern region of Yunliang Kingdom was naturally insufficient to satisfy the Heavenly Demon Sect's ambitions.

It must be said that the South China Sea is indeed a wonderful place.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect can use this opportunity to negotiate with sects like Fuling Island, thereby gaining permanent control of the Linnan Sea!"

Will Fuling Island agree?

Qin Wanqing continued to ask.

"Of course they'll agree. Maybe the other four sects will be happy to see the Heavenly Demon Sect enter the Linnan Sea!"

A confident glint appeared in Li Qing's eyes: "Fuling Island is currently facing various threats. The sea race alone is enough to pose a huge threat to Fuling Island, not to mention the two ancient alien races. Although the Heavenly Demon Sect's entry into the South China Sea will inevitably lead to a conflict with Fuling Island, it can also help Fuling Island draw fire!"

"In particular, the hatred that the ancient alien race harbors for demonic cultivators might be even greater!"

Li Qing chuckled softly again: "For the four sects including the Joyful Union Sect, once the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Corpse Sect separate, the pressure they face will be instantly reduced, which is naturally something they would like to see."

"While your two sects can preserve the opportunities within the Demonfall Space, the Yin Corpse Sect can monopolize the Yunliang Kingdom, and you can openly appear in the Lin'nan Sea."

After hearing this meticulous analysis, Qin Wanqing's face showed a hint of interest.

She naturally understood that once the Heavenly Demon Sect relocated, it would inevitably face the same threats from the sea race and the ancient alien races.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

This is indeed a fantastic opportunity.

If we can use this opportunity to cooperate with the five top powers of Fuling Island, it will be considered as gaining their recognition and completely integrating into this world.

"Although I agree with Elder Qing's suggestion, this matter still needs to be reported to the Sect Master for a decision!"

Qin Wanqing looked intently at Li Qing: "The sect leader is already aware of the changes in the South China Sea, but he has not given a clear answer. I cannot guarantee that the sect leader will agree to this matter!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Qing smiled faintly and said, "Wanqing only needs to report the pros and cons of this matter!"

"There's another point. If your two sects continue to stand by and watch, once Fuling Island is completely defeated, not only will the opportunities in the Demonfall Space fall entirely into the hands of the Sea Clan and the two ancient alien races, but another hidden danger will also emerge!"

"If Fuling Island truly cannot withstand the pressure, it's not impossible that it might choose to relocate. Once Fuling Island enters the mainland region, your two sects will face an even greater threat."

Upon hearing this final reminder, Qin Wanqing's expression hardened slightly.

She hadn't considered this potential problem beforehand.

And this is by no means impossible.

Once Fuling Island makes that decision, the two major demonic sects will face a combined attack from the five top powers.

The next moment, Qin Wanqing gazed intently at the young face beside her, her beautiful eyes flashing repeatedly: "As expected of Elder Qing, you see much further than I do!"

Such a long-term vision and meticulous thinking are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It can only be said that he is indeed the man she values.

"These are just my perspectives from an outsider's point of view. Wanqing has much more to consider than I do!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head.

All of these ideas are merely projections of reality; actually pushing this forward will likely be no easy task.

Each faction has its own interests to consider.

The so-called alliances and counter-alliances are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

All he can do is push things forward, to move in the direction he envisions, and, when the time is right, act as a go-between.

Specific negotiations regarding interests can only be conducted by the parties involved individually.

In any case, the Demonfall Space is also a matter of vital interest to him.

Because the matter was of great importance, Qin Wanqing quickly left after a brief exchange of pleasantries. She needed to report the matter to the sect leader as soon as possible to prevent any further drastic changes in the situation in the Linnan Sea region.

At the summit of Lingfeng.

Watching Qin Wanqing's departing figure.

A thoughtful look appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

"Regardless of the attitudes of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect, I must begin preparations to enter the Linnan Sea!"

Aside from the opportunity presented by the Demon Meteor Space.

He had another goal – the Blood Spirit Dragon.

Before entering the Taiyuan Realm, he placed his hopes for the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon's advancement on the ancient dragon whale within the sea race.

I was planning to consider this matter after dealing with the Demonfall Space issue.

But the sudden attack by the sea creatures gave him a new opportunity.
