Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1497 Ancient Demon Summoning Array
Li Qing stood quietly in mid-air.

The insights gained from the vastness of the water and the heavy path kept surging within me.

After sixty years of seclusion, he finally pushed his understanding of the Dao of Water to a new level and began to approach perfection. Only by cultivating the Dao of Water to perfection can he step into the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

"However, the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to comprehend the Great Dao!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

This sixty-year seclusion was undoubtedly the longest he had ever experienced, but for his future path of cultivation, it may only be the beginning.

The comprehension of the Great Dao is not as direct as a simple improvement in cultivation. Every slight improvement requires a catalyst, and the only way to find that catalyst is to continuously comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Following the special path I have chosen, I will not only perfect the Path of Heavy Water, but also the Path of Pure Water, and may even need to open up a third Sea of ​​Wheels in the future."

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but show a look of emotion.

Even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator can only perfect two paths, while he wants to push all four water-based Great Daos to perfection. The difficulty of this is unimaginable.

The unimaginable time consumption alone would be unbearable for any cultivator.

Even though he is not yet five hundred years old, compared to those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the outside world, he still has a much longer lifespan, but he may still find it difficult to withstand the long years of comprehending the Great Dao.

"Luckily, we have the Sea-Suppressing Pearl!"

Without the Zhenhai Pearl as his foundation, no matter how extraordinary his talent, he would have found it difficult to traverse this incredibly arduous path.

"In recent years, Zhenhai Pearl has begun to show unusual signs, so its revival is not far off!"

A hint of anticipation slowly appeared on Li Qing's face.

He originally planned to wait until Zhenhaizhu evolved and recovered before leaving seclusion.

However, there was something even more important for him to do, which forced him to end his seclusion ahead of schedule.

"His demonic transformation is imminent, and to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I must personally protect him. Moreover, the path of advancement he has chosen this time is fraught with risks."

Roar!Roar!
A long, blood-red dragon descended from the sky, its enormous head bowed low.

"Let's go!"

Li Qing smiled faintly, landed on the dragon's head, and then the Blood Spirit Dragon roared to the sky and rushed into the depths of the sea.
-
On the vast, azure sea.

A black figure stood in mid-air, with strands of pitch-black demonic light slowly flowing around it, exuding an ancient and primal demonic aura that bewitched people.

Roar!Roar!
The Blood Spirit Dragon carried Li Qing as it soared down from the sky, appearing between heaven and earth.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

The demonic form smiled and stepped forward to bow: "Congratulations on my great increase in strength!"

"A surge?"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "My further understanding of the Dao of Water has undoubtedly enhanced my foundation, but it hasn't led to a significant increase in my strength!"

Even for someone at the late Nascent Soul stage, it would be difficult to make any further rapid progress in strength unless there was some kind of heaven-defying opportunity, such as the revival of the Zhenhai Pearl that he had been waiting for.

However, there is one thing: at this moment, he is in his most perfect state since entering the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

These sixty years of seclusion not only allowed him to fully heal his previous physical injuries, but also, with his comprehension of the Dao of Water Purification, his Pure Water Wheel Sea has come to a great degree of mastery. In addition, his further mastery of the other two great Earth-rank secret arts - Heavenly Water Wings and Sea of ​​Annihilation - has given him an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

Simply put, it wasn't just a simple improvement in strength, but a comprehensive sublimation.

"It's still a little short of being truly perfect!"

Because he had been in seclusion, he had not yet had time to refine his other natal magic weapon, the Pure Water Wheel. This could be considered the last remaining flaw.

The next moment, Li Qing smiled faintly.

This shortcoming didn't have much of an impact on him.

At least it has no impact on subsequent actions.

Have you chosen your target?

"The choice is made!"

A smile crept across the demon's lips: "The Kun King lineage of the Sea Clan is currently waging a new war, seeking to expand further while the Yin Corpse Sect is still consolidating its position. The Heavenly Demon Sect has also entered the fray. The forces of both sides are converging on the battlefield, leaving the Sea Clan vulnerable."

"My target is the Cangting tribe!"

"This is indeed a good opportunity!"

Li Qing nodded slightly.

This is another major event that has occurred in Taiyuan since he went into seclusion - the relocation of the Fuling Island sect and the exchange of spheres of influence with the Yinshi Sect.

"It is highly likely that it is closely related to that ancient star relic!"

Not long after he went into seclusion, a tremendous change occurred in the Fuyue Islands. Countless sea veins collapsed, and countless spiritual veins collapsed as a result, which is said to have directly affected the foundation of Fuling Island.

Shortly after that incident, Fuling Island announced the relocation of its sect.

Whether the Yin Corpse Sect is willing or not is irrelevant, because they have no choice.

The four top powers of the Hehuan Sect, together with Fuling Island, put pressure on the Yinshi Sect. If the sect did not agree to relocate, they would launch a new war to wipe it out. The Yinshi Sect alone was not enough to contend with the five top powers. Soon after, the sect moved directly to the original Fuling Island territory.

The current situation in Taiyuan Realm is quite simple: five top powers are stationed in the mainland's sphere of influence, while the entire outer sea has become the sphere of influence of two major demonic sects.

The relocation of the sect to Fuling Island perfectly aligned with the interests of the four most powerful forces within the Hehuan Sect.

In this way, they no longer need to worry about threats from the sea race; the two major demonic sects have essentially added a barrier between them and the sea race.

Furthermore, with the five top powers now simultaneously ruling over the vast continent, their combined efforts have begun to restore order to the previously chaotic world.

"Let's go!"

Li Qing put away the Blood Spirit Dragon, and streaks of hidden blue light instantly enveloped him and his demonic body. Then, he transformed into a blur and traveled into the interior of the sea tribe.

On the way to escape.

A flicker of excitement occasionally flashed in Li Xuan's demonic form.

The significance of the late Nascent Soul stage for him is self-evident.

After his promotion, he will participate in the grand event of the unsealing of heaven and earth as a new controller.

As the irreversible trend of the revival of the demonic path erupts, he will further integrate into it, reclaim the opportunities of creation from heaven and earth, and strengthen his own foundation.

"How sure are you?"

"At least 60%!"

Li Xuan, in his demonic form, said in a deep voice, "I am of the ancient demonic body, naturally resonating with the Great Dao of Demons. In addition, with the blood sacrifice method and the perfected techniques inherited from the Primordial Demon Scripture, I should be able to do it!"

That's why he took the initiative to contact the real person.

Logically speaking, after obtaining the True Demon Essence, he should have been qualified to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage long ago. There was no need for him to wait until now, nor for him to take the initiative to venture into the territory of the Sea Clan to advance.

But that resounding cry of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth changed his decision.

Since the Heavenly Lord who was in charge of the Xuan Nan Continent took the initiative to unseal the heavens and earth, he made a new discovery: the ancient demon body could faintly sense the existence of the Great Dao of Demons. This was a situation that had never occurred before, which led him to have even bolder ideas.

"If I can truly summon the Great Dao of Demons for blessing, I can not only advance to the late Nascent Soul stage, but also take this opportunity to truly push my Ancient Demon Body to its perfection!" Excitement appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

If all goes well, he will undoubtedly have a stronger foundation after his promotion, and challenging opponents of higher levels will no longer be a problem.

"Even if we fail, there will be no loss; at most, we'll just complete the promotion through the normal channels."

As for the risk of sacrificing the entire sea tribe, it might have been a problem for him before, but with the main body personally overseeing it, this problem naturally no longer exists.

"That's definitely worth a try!"

Li Qing nodded deeply.

Once the Demon Body Project succeeds, even if he has just entered the late Nascent Soul stage, his strength will be comparable to that of a peak late Nascent Soul expert.

It should be noted that after his promotion, he was able to contend with the number one Venerable of the Golden Demon Kingdom only by relying on the Kunpeng Secret Technique and the blessing of the Zhenhai Pearl, rather than relying entirely on his own strength.

As if he had thought of something, Li Qing couldn't help but smile slightly.

He had been waiting for an opportunity to join forces with the demon body to fight against the enemy, but now it seems that he will have to wait until the world is completely unsealed and powerful cultivators can openly appear in the world.

Before this, neither he nor his demonic form would face any further threats.

"It's getting faster and faster!"

The fact that the demonic body can sense traces of the Great Dao of Demons also means that the dissolution of the seal of heaven and earth is accelerating.
-
gradually.

At the edge of the sea, a black area of ​​water began to appear.

It wasn't that the sea surface had changed, but rather that a deep abyss was hidden deep beneath the seabed, which made the entire vast sea appear dark.

Looking out, countless lights and shadows travel through the depths of the sea.

This place is precisely
This place is the Cangting tribe of the sea people, one of the few powerful tribes under King Kun.

"Based on previous information, the Cangting tribe possesses two late-stage fourth-tier sea race experts. However, with the frontline battles currently underway, it is highly likely that only one late-stage fourth-tier sea race expert remains in command."

Li Qing nodded: "To avoid attracting the attention of that King Kun, I will not show myself until the very last moment. But with the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon, the demonic corpse in your hand, and Black Netherworld in charge, that should be enough!"

Although the King of Kun's power cannot threaten him, it may affect the important matter of his demonic advancement.

Therefore, he cannot make a public appearance at this moment.

Gazing at the abyss below the sea, the demon's eyes revealed a cold smile: "Having slaughtered countless members of my race, collecting some interest first shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

call!call!
A thick, ghostly mist poured out, instantly enveloping the sky.

"Owner!"

A distorted black phantom instantly descended and knelt in reverence.

"Not bad!"

Looking at the space around the massive black ghost body that was constantly distorting, Li Qing smiled and nodded.

The current Hei Ming is vastly different from when he first advanced. His aura has become increasingly powerful, and coupled with his strong racial talent, even a powerhouse at the peak of the late fourth tier would not dare to underestimate him.

During the great war launched by the Sea Clan in alliance with two ancient alien races, the late-stage fourth-tier divine souls he killed were all given to Black Nether to devour.

"Speaking of which, I do have quite a lot of connections with the Dao of Space!"

The Heavenly Ghost lineage of the Black Netherworld is skilled in the Dao of Space, and the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon can also activate the power of space with the help of that True Dragon Horn. In addition, the Kunpeng Secret Technique he cultivates is even more so, allowing him to control the technique of traveling ten thousand miles in an instant, which is only available to great cultivators, even at the late Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, Li Qing once again recalled the innate spiritual treasure origin within the Zhenhai Pearl, which was also an innate spiritual treasure combining the Dao of Water and the Dao of Space.

"Will the revitalization of Zhenhai Pearl bring me the same surprise?"

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is vast and boundless, each with its own mysteries.

However, among those countless Great Daos, there are naturally differences in strength, and the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space are generally recognized as the strongest.

It is precisely because of these two great principles that the universe, all living things, and everything else came into being.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but have some daydreams.

No living being can resist the allure of the Great Dao of Time and Space, and he was no exception.

At this moment.

"Who dares to offend our Cangting tribe?!"

A series of neatly arranged blue rainbows soared into the sky from the deep sea.

In addition, several powerful fourth-order auras also appeared simultaneously.

However, the next moment, all the sea creatures who rushed out of the tribe simultaneously revealed unprecedented fear and panic.

A vast, eerie fog replaced the once azure sky, shrouding the entire Cangting tribe.

The vast and ancient pressure of the late fourth-tier realm enveloped every sea creature that appeared.

"Demonic cultivator!"

"Enemy attack! A powerful demonic cultivator has invaded!"

The neatly arranged Cangting tribe guards were instantly thrown into chaos, rushing towards the tribe's territory.

"Go!"

Li Xuan, in his demonic form, waved his hand lightly.

"It's the master!"

A sinister smile appeared on Hei Ming's face, which was covered in twisted ghostly markings.

call!call!
The ever-swirling, vast ghostly fog poured down onto the sea below.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Black demonic banners fell rapidly like shooting stars, enveloping the entire Cangting tribe.

The already dim world was instantly plunged into an unprecedented deathly silence and darkness.

Woo! Woo! Woo!
The ancient demons began to chant in low voices.

Within each dark demon banner rooted deep in space, various demonic illusions emerged, with endless black demonic light constantly illuminating and enveloping the Cangting tribe below.

A true demon realm is rapidly taking shape.

This is precisely the method the demonic body prepared in advance – the Ancient Demon Summoning Array.

To refine this ancient demonic array from the Scripture of Beginning Demons, he expended tremendous energy, not only squandering the accumulated resources of the Yellow Springs Sect but also consuming most of the various demonic treasures he possessed. He traded countless demonic treasures from various demonic sects, and with Qin Wanqing's secret assistance, he was finally able to successfully refine it.

Looking down, the sea creatures inside the magic array who were frantically trying to escape back to their tribes were instantly enveloped by the surging demonic light.

One after another, primal demonic energy was forcibly injected into their bodies.

what!what!
Countless agonizing cries followed, and their once-strongest defense, the blue scales, gradually turned pitch black. Many sea creatures, including several fourth-tier sea race experts, were instantly corrupted by demonic energy.

The blue pupils are no longer bright; they have been corrupted by darkness and demonic power!

The countless demonized figures began to charge towards the surrounding array of demon banners.

The black demon banners, constantly coalescing into monstrous demonic phenomena, resembled gaping maws of abyss, swallowing all the demonized sea creatures.
