Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1459 The Demon Meteor Space Opens

Lakeside Residence.

After bowing respectfully several times, the two members of the Cui family from the Lingbao Sect took their leave.

As they took off, in their final moments of farewell, Choi Ri made sure to express his gratitude once again.

"Thank you for the opportunity to form the Nascent Soul stage, sir. I will live up to your kindness and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

He was seriously injured in a fierce battle he inadvertently participated in back then. Although he was lucky enough to survive, it damaged his foundation.

Even though he worked hard to cultivate later, he ultimately missed his peak state, and to this day he has only barely reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm.

He was well aware of his situation.

As his physical body gradually aged, he could clearly feel his condition continuously declining, and his hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage was extremely slim.

If the Cui family were as powerful as it was back then, he would also be qualified to obtain the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul from the family.

However, the reality is that the Cui family has already declined, and all the family's resources need to be used to cultivate the next generation of geniuses within the Cui family. The opportunity to form a Nascent Soul is simply not available to him.

After all, from the family's perspective, they should use the remaining family resources to cultivate a truly talented family member who can lead the Cui family to prosperity, rather than entrusting it to someone who is about to reach the end of their lifespan.

"Who could have imagined that a rogue cultivator I met by chance back then would bring new hope to my path of cultivation, which was in dire straits!"

The value of a spot to enter the Demonfall Space is so high that it's enough to drive Nascent Soul cultivators crazy.

Even a small portion of the proceeds from this auction would be enough to give him excellent opportunities for promotion.

"My lord, we shall take our leave now!"

Inside the courtyard, watching the two departing figures, Li Qing slowly withdrew his gaze.

As he said, when he first arrived, Choi Ri did indeed use his family connections to bring him considerable convenience.

His decision just now can be seen as a token of his goodwill.

Whether this old friend can successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage depends on his own destiny.

"But this is a win-win situation!"

The auction for the Demon Meteor Space slots is bound to be a grand affair. If it were held in Yunhuan Immortal City, it would be easy for outsiders to discover the relationship between Shan Lingyi and him. Handing it over to the Lingbao Sect would be the best choice.

He didn't want his whereabouts to become widely known.

"To have met my husband back then, this must be considered Fellow Daoist Cui's good fortune!"

Shan Lingyi smiled gently and said, "He probably never imagined back then that a chance encounter would bring him and the entire Cui family new hope today!"

"A single, casual remark from my husband was enough to change their fate!"

"There is a predetermined fate in the universe!"

As he spoke, Li Qing looked in another direction.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in white robes with a refined and scholarly demeanor has arrived above the Lakeside Residence.

"It can be said that I met this fellow Daoist Liu Ying when we were both weak!"

Looking at Liu Ying, who had now reached the late stage of the fourth tier, Li Qing couldn't help but smile faintly.

When they first met, both of them were only at the ordinary Golden Core stage. They probably couldn't have imagined that they would join forces again after they both reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qing!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shan!" Liu Ying greeted him politely as he appeared, like a true gentleman.

If this were outside the world, probably no one would imagine that such a refined man, who exudes a strong scholarly air, is actually a demon cultivator known for his ferocity and tyranny.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu, on your progress in cultivation!"

Li Qing stepped forward and smiled.

It can be seen from his aura that this Fellow Daoist Liu has now completely taken control of the ancient and ferocious Tengshe bloodline within him, which is why he has been able to regain his former temperament.

"I've only barely managed to stabilize my own power!"

Liu Ying sighed and said, "How can my meager improvement in cultivation compare to Fellow Daoist Qing's!"

If he hadn't accidentally learned this information after emerging from seclusion, he would never have imagined that this fellow Daoist Qingxuan would once again become famous throughout the world during the short few decades of his seclusion, and even be called one of the strongest people below the great cultivators of this world.

No wonder this Fellow Daoist Qing was not flustered at all when facing threats from two late-stage Nascent Soul experts from the Lingbao Sect and the Hehuan Sect at the same time. It turns out he never took them seriously.

"Let's not flatter each other!"

Li Qing smiled and waved his hand.

Ever since Liu Ying willingly opened her soul and allowed him to plant a soul imprint on her, the relationship between the two has long transcended the superficial friendship and can be described as a bond of life and death.

After all, if he hadn't voluntarily given up the soul imprint, Liu Ying's life and death would have been completely in his hands.

"Although the Demonfall Space has not yet opened, strange phenomena have begun to appear in that area. To avoid any accidents, we should probably head there ahead of time!"

Li Qing took the initiative to express her thoughts.

He didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain the upper hand.

Arrive as early as possible so you can make the best choice as soon as possible.

"I have already made preparations. Fellow Daoist Qing, you may arrange my actions as you see fit for this trip."

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries...

The two of them simultaneously soared into the sky from the depths of the lakeside residence, speeding towards the South China Sea.

"After this journey, in this world where great cultivators live in seclusion, my husband will become an almost invincible being, and nothing will be able to threaten him anymore!"

Gazing at the fleeting blue figure, Shan Lingyi's beautiful eyes were filled with infatuation and adoration.

Just like that fellow Daoist Cui, being able to meet her husband was undoubtedly the greatest fortune of her life.

"I can use the Soul Pearl bestowed by my husband to further strengthen my divine soul. If my divine soul can reach the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage ahead of schedule, I will be able to control more powerful spirit puppets."
-
"So this is the true world of the vast ocean!"

On the way to the Fuyue Islands, Liu Ying admired the scenery of the surrounding sea and sky, and kept praising it.

This scene made Li Qing's expression turn strange: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you haven't actually been to the Linan Sea before, have you?"

"Never!"

Liu Ying shook his head frankly, then slowly smiled and said, "Although I seem to have lived several times longer than Fellow Daoist Qing, the scenery I have seen is probably less than one percent of what Fellow Daoist Qing has seen!"

"I have spent most of my life in the mortal world, and the rest of my time in seclusion for cultivation. Not to mention the South China Sea, in the entire Taiyuan Realm of the five kingdoms, apart from Luo Nan Kingdom, I have only ever entered Yun Liang Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing did not make any sarcastic remarks; instead, a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

What unwavering resolve this is!

All things in the universe have desires. In addition to the instinct to constantly become stronger, the path of cultivation is often accompanied by another pursuit - to observe the universe.

Each increase in strength brings with it a deeper understanding of the world.

Watching the world change and transform, one is often associated with the name of an immortal.

Even Li Qing couldn't avoid this.

He also longed for many unseen realms, such as the truly vast and boundless spirit world.

"This may be one of the reasons why this Fellow Daoist Liu Ying is able to control the path of demon cultivation!"

"No greed!"

"I am neither greedy for the rapid improvement of my cultivation, nor for the beautiful scenery of the outside world!"

Thinking of this, Li Qing exclaimed in admiration, "Fellow Daoist Liu Ying has been able to stay true to his original aspirations all the way, which I greatly admire!"

"Fellow Daoist Qing, you flatter me!" Liu Ying smiled and shook his head: "Our paths of cultivation are not the same!"

"Fellow Daoist Qing is like a shining star, destined to have an incomparably glorious path, while I, who am walking the path of demon cultivation, am shrouded in chaos, destined to be cautious with every step I take."

"But that radiant path is not what I seek!"

A hint of helplessness appeared on Li Qing's face.

He is naturally low-key and has no intention of seeking fame, but nowadays, every step he takes inevitably attracts a lot of attention.

Of course, he also understood the reasons behind this.

It all boils down to the word 'competition'.

He never easily gives up any opportunity, which has led to his current empty reputation.

This is also the difference between the two.

They each have their own distinct paths of spiritual practice.

"It's difficult to conceal the essence of something!"

"The principles of heaven and earth are all different, but they are in harmony."

During their discussion.

Unbeknownst to them, a special world had already emerged at the edge of the sea.

Looking from afar.

In that sea area located in a corner of the Fuyue Islands, the world was already shrouded in a vast expanse of clouds and spiritual light, with endless restrictive power constantly evolving within it, revealing a pressure that suppressed heaven and earth.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Qing's reputation, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to get close to this world!"

Liu Ying nodded and smiled.

Just as the two approached.

But from the depths of the ancient forbidden spiritual sea in the distance, an endless roar suddenly resounded, and a channel of spiritual light, woven from countless tiny threads, was formed simultaneously.

Two familiar figures flew out on their own initiative.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan!"

The powerful Zhuhai Zhenjun from Fuling Island, who had fought alongside Li Qing in the past, appeared with Jiang Yue'er.

After returning the greeting with a smile, Li Qing stated the purpose of his trip frankly.

"The opening of the Demonfall Space is of utmost importance. I plan to enter first with Fellow Daoist Liu Ying and await the final opening moment!"

"Fellow Daoist Qing can make her own arrangements. Since Junior Nephew Jiang is also here, let her take the two fellow Daoists with her."

The three of them passed through layers of restrictions and entered the inner sea area.

In an instant, a series of tearing roars could be heard.

Looking out, one sees the distant sea stretching into the sky, like a shattered mirror, with numerous spatial cracks crisscrossing it, and the power of the vast void surging back and forth within that space.

"This is a token for the restrictive array jointly set up by our five major forces!"

Jiang Yue'er took out two ancient tokens with the patterns of the five major forces printed on them.

"With this token, the two of you can pass freely and also mobilize the power of the great formation."

Seemingly sensing the deep thoughts beneath Jiang Yue'er's delicate face, Li Qing took the initiative to ask, "Fellow Daoist Huo Rong, have you not yet emerged from seclusion?"

"no!"

Jiang Yue'er's face showed bitterness: "Since the last time Father went into seclusion, there has been no news from him!"

"I also asked the Grand Elder about this, and there was nothing unusual about it."

Li Qing comforted him, saying, "No news at this moment is the best news!"

According to the ambition and plan of that Fire Melting True Monarch, the reason why he rushed to break through to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage was to participate in the Great Dao competition after the Demon Fall Space dissipated, in order to seek the opportunity of becoming a great cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, there's no need for you to accompany us. We can make our own arrangements."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yue'er.

Li Qing and his companion descended directly towards the raging inferno in the center of the sea.

"Does Fellow Daoist Qing have any plans that require my advance preparation?"

Liu Ying took the initiative to speak.

"It's too early to say anything like that!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

The countless blue lights seemed to converge instantly like layers of light curtains, resembling a blue eye of heaven and earth, deeply embedded in a corner of the shattered space in the center.

Liu Ying immediately understood.

Because he was going to participate in the Demonfall Space, he naturally did his research in advance. Back then, when he was at the Golden Core stage, he used the methods left behind by the Heavenly Water Dao Sect to directly break through the void and go there.

It is obvious that there must still be some methods and trump cards left behind by the Heavenly Water Dao Sect inside the Demon Fall Space.

"On this trip, Fellow Daoist Liu, you don't need to make everything your way. You should act according to circumstances and seize the opportunity to find a suitable opportunity. If there is any need, I will certainly let you know."

As time goes by.

Within and around the world restricted by the grand formation, a large number of spiritual figures have begun to gather.

The majority of them are cultivators at the late Golden Core stage and the early Nascent Soul stage.

Those are the people who will participate in the opportunity to open the Demonfall Space next.

According to the speculation of the five major forces, the Demon Fall Space is far more damaged than before, and may no longer be able to accommodate mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

A few months later.

A deafening roar completely obliterated the shattered spacetime in the center of the sea.

An unprecedented dark void began to descend.

A vast torrent of spatial power swept out simultaneously, rushing towards every corner of the world.

The power of the outer array was activated simultaneously.

The endless layers of defense, interwoven with the aura of the restrictions, erupted forth.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone.

But from the depths of the dark and desolate void, a gray light began to emerge. The shattered void of heaven and earth seemed to be blocked, and the raging torrent of space began to dissipate. A heavy and oppressive pressure began to descend.

The Demonfall Space has appeared, replacing the original boundless black hole.

The layers of gray spatial barriers surged like turbulent waves, erupting with a continuous roar.

"Everyone, immediately enter the Demonfall Space, remember the strange phenomenon of the world shattering, and then evacuate!"

After issuing another warning.

A large number of early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators soared into the sky, rapidly heading towards the Demon Fall Space. Several spatial passages simultaneously opened, forcibly breaking through the gray spatial barrier to escort the late-stage Golden Core cultivators inside.

Just as the five major powers had predicted, the several mid-Nascent Soul cultivators who had gone ahead to investigate quickly withdrew from the Demon Fall Space.

at the same time.

The dark blue world that was originally deeply embedded in the outer edge of the Demon Meteor Space Descendant Realm slowly dispersed.
