Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1467 Genius Project, Demonization

call!call!
The completely collapsed Azure Mist Spirit Realm transformed into a raging torrent that swept down from the top of the hills, vast and unstoppable.

The two, Li Minghua and his companion, who were still fighting each other, had no time to dodge and were quickly swept up in the fray.

At this moment, all six people on Fuling Island looked desperate.

That kind of destructive and violent power tore apart the surrounding world; how could they, with their Golden Core cultivation, possibly stop it?

"Do not!!"

Suddenly, Senior Brother Zhou unleashed a Azure Scale Ancient Talisman, and the sturdy, finely detailed phantom scales rapidly transformed into layers of defense around him. Boom! Boom! The first wave of attack alone rendered his last life-saving Azure Scale Ancient Talisman obliterated.

Under Li Minghua's terrified gaze, the genius from a prominent family, who possessed a life-saving trump card at the Nascent Soul level, vanished instantly, disappearing into thin air.

As it drew nearer, the vast, raging torrent of azure water crashed towards him.

Faced with such absolute power, Li Minghua had no more hope, only unprecedented despair and resentment.

He once boasted that he was a reclusive genius with unlimited potential, and that given time he would surely break through to the Nascent Soul realm and continue to pursue the even higher path of immortality.

At this point, the confidence and pride of the past are no longer of any significance.

"I never imagined that I, Li Minghua, would perish here!"

Just when he was in complete despair.

A slightly surprised voice rang in his ear: "I didn't expect to see you here!"

"who?"

Li Minghua subconsciously looked ahead, only to see that the originally turbulent blue torrent had become incredibly calm as if it had been tamed, and then directly branched out to flow towards the outer area.

"My lord! It's that lord!"

Once Li Minghua had recovered from her shock, she suddenly showed excitement.

Unexpectedly, the same person who had entered the Demonfall Space appeared here and saved his life once again.

"Could it be that the reason that Azure Mist Spirit Realm collapsed was because of that lord?"

Li Minghua instantly understood the fundamental reason for the dramatic change.

"It seems we really do have some kind of connection. In that case, come over here!"

In an instant, a clear road appeared deep within the raging, blue torrent, leading directly to the core area at the top of the hill.

Li Minghua bowed deeply in excitement and prepared to rush towards the passage.

But just as he was leaving, he discovered that, apart from him, the four members of the Wood Element lineage from Fuling Island who had been tricked and left behind had also survived by sheer luck.

As if remembering something, a hint of hesitation flashed in Li Minghua's eyes, then he bowed deeply toward the end of the passage and asked, "May I ask, sir, what should be done with those four?"

"They survived because of you, so you don't need to ask me what to do with them!"

Upon hearing that calm response, the hesitation in Li Minghua's eyes gradually transformed into a resolute indifference.

Normally, he might have been kind-hearted, but things are different now.

These four people already knew the greatest secret of his cultivation - the Wood-Eating Spirit Body.

Even if one manages to bypass them, it will inevitably sow the seeds of future trouble on one's path of cultivation.

"Since they live because of me, let's pretend none of this ever happened."

The top of a verdant hill.

A vast depression lies within it.

Various rare ancient spirit trees can be seen everywhere, most of which are top-tier fourth-order spirit trees.

At that moment, a large blue magical hand continued to descend, sweeping up one rare spirit tree after another.

"Is this a coincidence, or is it fate?"

Li Qing stood in mid-air, quietly looking down at the world below.

This area was once the treasure land used by the Tianshui Dao Sect to cultivate spirit trees. He originally planned to take it away and then go to the next location, but unexpectedly he encountered that junior from back then.

The vast depression has become empty and desolate. All kinds of rare ancient spiritual trees have long since disappeared, leaving only a black demon tree standing alone in the same place.

Upon closer inspection, the entire demon tree was only about ten feet tall, with nine vertical black branches that resembled nine giant black swords, exuding a strange and malevolent aura.

Just then, Li Qing took in the scene unfolding down the mountain.

The other four disciples of Fuling Island have all been killed by that junior.

"Wood-Devouring Spirit Body, Devouring Essence Sword Wood!"

A strange look appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

Just then, a streak of azure light appeared swiftly.

"Junior Li Minghua greets Your Excellency!"

"Thank you so much for saving me once again, sir. I will forever remember this kindness."

When Li Minghua knelt down to pay his respects, his expression remained unchanged, as if the incident of fratricide had never happened.

He was certainly not worried that his actions would displease the adult.

The words of guidance from back then are still vivid in my mind. This person can be said to be the one who understands him best, besides himself, and is also clear about his path of cultivation.

"Since we have met again, it must be fate. I will give you a chance!"

Li Qing gently raised his hand and pointed to the black demon tree below.

"This thing is called Devouring Yuan Sword Wood. It is a special evil tree with nine branches, which are also nine swords. Only by nourishing it with its own life can it unleash its full power."

Li Minghua, who had been looking confused, suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that there really was something in this world that perfectly matched him.

The Wood-Eating Spirit Body allows him to devour the life essence of all things to strengthen himself, but due to his own realm and other factors, as well as the guidance from this senior, he has always firmly restrained his body's instinctive desire to devour, so as to avoid being too affected by it.

However, this Devouring Essence Sword Wood perfectly met his needs. He could use more of his chaotic life force to cultivate this evil wood. In this way, he not only solved the Devouring Spirit's instinct to devour, but also gained a powerful means.

"Xie Mu!"

Only then did he suddenly realize what was happening.

This person is now one of the most terrifying figures in the entire world. Given his strength and status, he is called "Evil Wood," which shows his evil nature.

"May I ask, sir, what is this evil wood?"

"The Devouring Essence Sword Wood is a naturally occurring treasure, requiring the refinement of magical artifacts. Rooted in your physical body, it merges with your soul and grows stronger with each passing year. The darkness and chaos contained within it will gradually influence you as well."

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages; it can bring you great power, but it can also bring you just as much trouble.

Li Minghua remained silent, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

The scene that had just happened resurfaced vividly in his mind once again.

The helplessness and despair in the face of that raging blue torrent were already deeply etched in his heart.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

"In reply to your question, sir, this junior naturally desires this item immensely!"

He would not give up something from heaven and earth that was so perfectly suited to him.

"This item originally belonged to me. If you want to obtain this opportunity, you must also bear the consequences of my actions!"

Li Qing said calmly.

"My requirements are very simple: you need to make a solemn oath that if I ever need you in the future, you will serve me!"

"This is what I'd love to have!"

Li Minghua did not hesitate at all; in fact, he felt a surge of joy. To be able to make contact with this important figure was an opportunity that countless people would desperately seek.

It should be noted that this person is already hailed as one of the strongest below the Great Cultivator level, and it is only natural that he will eventually reach the Great Cultivator level. For such an important figure to value him is certainly a stroke of good fortune.

"Junior Li Minghua swears by his own Dao."

Looking at Li Minghua, who had made a solemn vow, a profound meaning appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

He didn't value Li Minghua's current strength. Even if Li Minghua were only at the Golden Core stage, or even if he were to reach the Nascent Soul or late Nascent Soul stage in the future, it wouldn't mean much to him.
What truly concerns him is the unknown and the future.

A more distant future that may exist, perhaps after the world has been sealed and returned to the true spirit realm.

If Li Minghua, with his Wood-Eating Spirit Body, wasn't enough to earn his favor, then with the Devouring Essence Sword Wood, he was now qualified.

According to the records left by the Tianshui Dao Sect, some truly powerful individuals once emerged among the evil cultivators who possessed the Devouring Yuan Sword Wood.

in a sense.

Although his decision to train Li Minghua was made casually, it is one of his future plans.

Now that he knew that after the seal on heaven and earth was restored, all living beings in heaven and earth would receive the blessings of the Great Dao's rules, he also needed to broaden his horizons further.

If he could recruit some of the rising talents from the sealed lands, it could be considered as planting some seeds for his path after entering the Spirit Realm.

Whether they will achieve success in the future depends on their individual destinies.

These things won't hinder his path of cultivation.

However, one thing is certain: special geniuses from the sealed lands, such as Li Minghua, will at least have considerable potential for future development.

They were originally the chosen ones of the human race in this world, and if they were to receive further support from the Great Dao rules in the future, their potential would be enormous.

Li Qing may be able to surpass them at this moment, but the future is uncertain.

Everything in the universe has its own destiny and its own laws.

Once you enter that vast and boundless true spiritual realm, everyone's fate will undergo a tremendous change.

The next moment, Li Qing waved his hand gently.

A jade slip fell towards Li Minghua.

"This is the method of refining. I have other things to do. Once you have finished refining it, leave the Demonfall Space as soon as possible!"

"Thank you for bestowing this method upon me, sir!"

As if remembering something, Li Qing spoke again: "When you came in, did you collect any special jade slips to record the special areas inside the Demon Fall Space?"

"Yes! This is information I specifically gathered in order to enter the Demonfall Space."
-
In the vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth).

A streak of azure light sped past.

The treasure map from Elder Shuiwa was recorded at some places of opportunity left behind by the Tianshui Dao Sect. However, as one of the ancient battlefields, the opportunities in the Lunhai Small World are naturally not limited to these.

Moreover, because the entire small world was severely shattered, Elder Shuiwa was also unable to perceive the specific opportunities in the outer world.

Within the special area recorded in the jade slip, there might be a special opportunity left behind.

After a while.

Li Qing once again returned to the battlefield where he had clashed head-on with the strongest geniuses of the five major forces.

as far as the eye can see.

It is a colorful ocean formed by the convergence of various spiritual energies.

Meanwhile, within that spiritual sea, fierce battles were unfolding.

Many people are hunting spirit monsters to obtain pure spiritual energy.

Li Qing's gaze instantly fell upon the gray world in the center of the spiritual sea.

The Tree of the Great Way!

That was the place where he once obtained the Enlightenment Leaf.

If given the chance, Li Qing would naturally want to take that Great Dao Tree with him.

That was one of the important opportunities left behind by the Tianshui Dao Sect.

In a short while, amidst the shocked gazes of many who recognized his identity, he was immediately recognized.

Li Qing quickly passed through the spiritual sea.

Seeing that the number of people around him was becoming increasingly rare, he felt a little surprised.

They happened to encounter a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage from Fuling Island who was evacuating.

Why are there so few people here vying for opportunities?

Li Qing waved to interrupt the man's bow.

"Reporting to Senior!"

The man from Fuling Island gave a wry smile: "The opportunity of the Enlightenment Leaf is impossible to get close to. Several of the strongest geniuses from our five major sects have already retreated on their own initiative, and others dare not try it lightly!"

"Oh!"

A profound meaning flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and he once again moved closer to the gray small world where the Great Dao Tree was located.

"When we entered back then, the Tree of the Great Dao had already begun to be eroded by demonic power, and now it seems that the situation is getting worse!"

The changes to the Tree of the Great Dao were known to the five major powers long ago, and they would certainly have made full preparations for the geniuses within their sects. Yet, even so, they could not get close, which shows that the changes were significant.

Just as he was getting closer and closer to that small gray world.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Strange, demonic vines shot up from the depths of the spiritual sea, enveloping Li Qing.

A vast expanse of blue light instantly emerged, obliterating all the demonic vines.

What happened next confirmed his guess.

The demonized roots of the Great Dao Tree launched an increasingly ferocious attack, far surpassing the level of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. Not to mention the genius disciples of the five major powers, even the Nascent Soul elders of the five major powers themselves would probably be unable to enter this place.

As we get closer to the gray little world.

Li Qing couldn't help but show surprise.

The world, which was originally formed by the convergence of the power of the Five Elements and the Great Dao, has long lost its original charm. The depths of the gray world seem to have given birth to a dark abyss, revealing pure demonic power.

When he finally arrived above the gray little world.

I have just seen that the Great Tree of the Great Dao has been completely corrupted by demons.

The once vibrant, multicolored canopy of the tree has long since turned into pure black.

The endless, densely intertwined roots move about as if a horde of demons were dancing wildly.

Boom! !

Before he could make a move...

The Great Tree below, now corrupted by demonic energy, was the first to attack.

Endless black demonic roots simultaneously soared into the sky, enveloping him, their power no less than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Seeing this, Li Qing once again released the seal within his body.

The Heavenly Water Wheel Sea Scripture began to operate rapidly, unleashing a vast amount of magical power.

"Water Spirit Flows Splendor!"

A sky filled with faint blue light replaced the original sky.

At this moment.

The Great Tree seemed to be fully revived, with endless dark demonic energy surging from the depths of the earth, and the power of the demonized Great Tree continued to grow stronger.
