Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1503 Meeting
Linnan Sea area.

On the battlefield where the two major demonic sects clashed head-on with the sea race.

Layer upon layer of giant waves piled up, constructing a vast ocean world in the sky. Countless sea creature armies were ready to go, and powerful sea creature figures with imposing auras stood guard above the surging waves.

On the other side of the battlefield, rows of enormous black magic towers stood atop a series of islands, forming a demonic defense line.

In contrast to the sea creatures' covetous gaze, the atmosphere within the two major demonic sects was extremely heavy.

This defensive line is the last core line of defense for the two major demonic sects. If it is breached by the sea race again, the two major demonic sects will likely suffer a complete defeat.

Compared to the sea race faction of the Kun King lineage, the two major demonic sects have far fewer powerful individuals, especially in terms of mid-level Nascent Soul combat strength, which is vastly inferior to that of the sea race.

After all, both the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect have only recently appeared in the world, and even with their strong foundations, they still need time to develop.

However, just as the atmosphere on the entire battlefield was becoming increasingly tense.

call!call!
Amidst the shocked gazes of countless demonic cultivators.

But then they saw the sea creatures, who had been standing in neat rows and ready to launch a war, suddenly begin a full retreat.

The towering waves that met the sky dispersed completely.

"what happened?"

Seeing this scene, not only were the ordinary disciples of the Demonic Sect completely puzzled, but even the several late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who were stationed on the battlefield were all astonished.

"Everyone stay alert and be ready to activate the great formation at any time!"

The leading expert of the Heavenly Demon Sect quickly issued a new order.

This bizarre scene only fueled everyone's growing anxiety, fearing it might be some kind of conspiracy by the sea creatures.

However, as time passed and the various demon lords who had gone on their investigations returned, the worries in everyone's hearts were finally dispelled.

The sea creatures really retreated, and they even retreated directly back to their original sphere of influence.

"What exactly happened? Why would the sea creatures, who held a complete advantage, retreat on their own initiative?"

"Could it be that some powerful figure has intervened, creating a deterrent effect on the sea creatures?"

As time goes by.

A new message has been circulating.

Just as the two armies were locked in battle, a powerful tribe within the sea race was suddenly destroyed. Three late-stage fourth-tier sea race experts who returned to provide support perished simultaneously, along with the sea race expert who was stationed within the tribe. This meant that the sea race instantly lost four late-stage fourth-tier powerhouses.

While the retreat of the sea creatures was still being hotly debated in the South China Sea,

The mastermind behind the annihilation of the Cangting tribe has quietly departed from the South China Sea.
-
Luonan Kingdom.

Haizhu Mountain Range.

This is a long mountain range that borders the South China Sea and the Xuannan Continent. It stands tall and majestic, like a natural barrier that keeps out the hurricanes and torrents from the depths of the sea.

At the same time, due to the impact of hurricanes and ocean currents, spiritual creatures from the depths of the South China Sea have emerged continuously, making the area around the Haizhu Mountain range exceptionally prosperous.

And at this moment, a corner of the Haizhu Mountain Range.

Inside a deep underground cave, a white rainbow shot out first, followed closely by two other beams of light.

"Leave!"

A burst of spiritual light suddenly erupted from behind, and a large golden net descended from the sky, instantly forcing the white rainbow to a stop.

"Are you two planning to kill me and steal my treasure?"

As the white light faded, a beautiful woman with delicate features, dressed in a white palace gown, appeared.

Roar!Roar!
A nearly hundred-foot-tall gray stone ape then appeared and suddenly soared into the sky, crashing down towards the falling golden net.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, two beams of light descended simultaneously from behind, surrounding the woman in the white dress from the left and right.

At this moment, however, neither of them made a move immediately, and both of them showed a look of fear in their eyes.

The two sides had already clashed once deep inside the cave. This woman, who appeared to be only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was actually protected by two powerful early-stage fourth-tier spirit puppets. Even when the two joined forces, they were at a disadvantage.

"This place was first discovered by our Golden Peak Sect, and the treasures inside naturally belong to our sect!"

One of the silver-haired elders coldly said, "Fellow Daoist, if you want to take away the treasures in the cave directly, aren't you just indulging in wishful thinking!"

"If you are sensible enough to hand over that treasure, our Golden Peak Sect will not make things difficult for you."

"Jinfeng Sect?"

The beautiful woman in the white dress revealed a cold smile in her eyes.

Even if the rule of first come, first served applies, she arrived first.

Of course, she didn't say much. It was obvious that the two from Jinfeng Sect had become greedy, and no matter how she explained, they wouldn't let her leave.

Tweet!
A loud cry rang out.

Another black-winged, golden-clawed demon king puppet appeared, transforming into a bolt of black lightning and swooping down on one of them.

"Stop him! Senior Brother is on his way!"

The silver-haired elder shouted, "That ten-thousand-year-old Earth Core Tree belongs to our Golden Peak Sect!"

Two golden flying swords instantly shot out, transforming into two golden rainbows that slashed towards the oncoming Black-Winged Golden Claw Demon King.

A major battle was about to break out.

Although the two from Jinfeng Sect were both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they were also quite powerful, managing to hold back the two early-stage fourth-tier demon king puppets.

At this moment.

But then a beautiful woman in white palace attire descended towards the silver-haired old man.

"cut!"

A golden flying sword magic weapon suddenly trembled in the air, splitting into several huge golden sword energies, which slashed down towards the beauty in white palace attire.

"Is this what she is?"

The next moment, the silver-haired old man suddenly showed shock.

However, facing the golden sword energy falling head-on, the woman in the white dress did not use any defensive measures, letting the sword energy fall.

What happened next left him speechless with disbelief.

boom!boom!
A fair and delicate hand slapped down directly at the golden sword energy, instantly obliterating it.

"Physical training?"

"But the opponent is clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator specializing in puppetry, so how could he possess such a powerful physical body?"

However, before the shock in his heart could dissipate...

But then he saw that fair, jade-like hand gently tap towards him, and streaks of white jade-like sharp light shot out instantly.

boom!boom!
The silver-haired old man's defensive golden round shield was instantly pierced, and then a stream of light, like sharp white jade spikes, fell again.

A scream echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Several bloody holes appeared on the silver-haired old man's body.

A golden streak of light shot out instantly.

Before his nascent soul could even prepare to escape, wisps of illusory black threads had already intertwined, and the golden nascent soul was instantly controlled by these black threads, like a puppet on strings.

"Senior Brother Bai!"

The middle-aged man in the early Nascent Soul stage also changed his expression drastically, and then began to flee frantically in great fear.

However, by then, it was all too late.

Chirp! Chirp!
A black-winged, golden-clawed demon king puppet has landed face-to-face.

"The strongest expert in the Golden Peak Sect seems to be only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage!"

Looking at the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Golden Peak Sect who had been blasted into a bloody mist by a single punch from the gray stone ape puppet in the distance, the woman in the white dress showed no emotion whatsoever.

The two puppets quickly returned with all the spoils of war.

Just as the woman in the white dress was about to take stock of her spoils, she suddenly giggled and looked up at the sky: "My husband arrived a long time ago, without even telling me!" A figure in cyan slowly appeared and descended.

Li Qing chuckled: "I originally wanted to see the strength of your puppet clone, but I didn't expect those two to be so weak."

Shan Lingyi, in her puppet form, stepped forward and gently took Li Qing's arm, smiling softly, "Although this puppet form of mine was only recently crafted, its body was meticulously forged from ten-thousand-year-old white jade. Even its physical defenses would probably only be penetrated by the power of a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Congratulations on your successful completion of the seclusion, my husband."

Just as the two were talking and laughing.

"Junior brother!"

A roar came.

In an instant, two long rainbows arrived one after the other.

The leader was a slender middle-aged man, and judging from the patterns on his golden Taoist robe, he was probably the senior brother who had fallen at the hands of the two.

"How dare you two openly kill and rob within the Yu family's sphere of influence?"

Despite his immense anger, the lean middle-aged man in the golden robe still maintained some composure, instantly changing his story and pulling the mid-stage Nascent Soul elder of the Yu family behind him along.

The fact that these two were able to kill their two junior brothers so quickly suggests that they must be quite powerful.

But he alone would probably find it difficult to contend with them.

Fortunately, behind him was an elder of the Yu family. The Yu family was also a top Nascent Soul family that controlled this world, with a powerful expert at the level of a great being in charge.

"Yu family?"

Li Qing casually glanced at the black-haired old man behind the slender man in the golden robe.

Meanwhile, the black-haired old man, whom the slender man in the golden robe considered his source of confidence, was already standing there in shock.

"Isn't that the mysterious powerhouse who appeared at the Ancestor's Ascension Ceremony?!"

In an instant, the elder of the Yu family bowed and greeted, "Junior Yu Zhi greets senior!"

As for the slender man in the golden robe, he was already stunned and at a loss for what to do.

The elder of the Yu family behind him was not only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but was a direct descendant of the Yu family's patriarch, holding a high position and great power within the Yu family.

However, this core elder of the Yu family actually took the initiative to bow to the mysterious young man in the green robe and even addressed him as a senior.

"You recognize me?"

"I had the honor of witnessing you, senior, conversing happily with the ancestor at his ascension ceremony."

The slender man in the golden robe already looked terrified.

The fact that he could have such a pleasant conversation with the Yu family patriarch means that this young cultivator in green robes is likely also a legendary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Junior Jin Li, on behalf of Jin Fengzong, pays respects to Senior!"

"My two junior brothers unintentionally offended you, senior. They deserved their punishment, and we hope you will forgive them."

The slender man in the golden robe no longer cared about saving face and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy.

"Is the Golden Peak Sect also under the Yu family's control?"

Li Qing said calmly.

"Reporting to Senior, the Golden Peak Sect is indeed a Nascent Soul sect under our Yu family!"

The elder of the Yu family quickly bowed and said, "However, since they have offended you, senior, everything should be handled by you!"

"If that's the case, then forget it!"

Li Qing waved his hand gently.

When he first returned to Luonan Kingdom, he happened to witness the advancement of the Yu family patriarch. They had a pleasant conversation and it was no longer appropriate for him to bully the weak.

Moreover, the two who attacked earlier have already perished at Lingyi's hands.

It's perfectly normal for cultivators to fight each other for profit.

"Thank you so much for sparing my life, senior! Thank you so much for sparing my life, senior!"

The slender man in the golden robe kept kneeling and begging for mercy.

Li Qing, along with Shan Lingyi's spirit puppet avatar, transformed into a streak of blue light and vanished instantly.

Between heaven and earth, vast and boundless.

A huge blue spirit ship traveled through the air, heading deep into the land of Luonan.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Qing took in the magnificent scenery of the world.

To be honest, he really preferred the cultivation world on the mainland to the desolate sea.

That unique sense of grandeur, so distinct from the heavens and earth, is something that the cultivation world of the sea cannot possess.

"So, you mean your main body has been cultivating in seclusion in the Poisonous Wasteland, while you've sent out two spirit puppet clones to travel around?"

Li Qing looked at the puppet clone, which was almost identical in appearance and aura to Shan Lingyi, with great interest.

It would be difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator to tell that this is a puppet.

This can be considered Shan Lingyi's unique path of cultivation.

With her exceptional intelligence, Shan Lingyi not only split her soul into two powerful puppet avatars, but also, with the blessing of the Puppet Silk Myriad Thoughts Technique, these puppet avatars could once again control the puppets.

Furthermore, the fact that the two puppet avatars were traveling abroad was essentially equivalent to her traveling abroad herself.

Even if the puppet avatars perish, her true self remains perfectly safe, though she will suffer some backlash.

"Not bad!"

A bright smile appeared on the face of Shan Lingyi's puppet avatar.

Only by observing closely can one discern a subtle stiffness in his expression.

"Fellow Daoist Liu Ying was worried that the spying her husband attracted during his trip to the Demon Fall Space would affect her, so she brought her back to the Tengdu Death Land to cultivate long ago."

Seemingly sensing the curiosity in Li Qing's eyes, Shan Lingyi's puppet avatar chuckled, "Would my husband like to experience being personally served by this avatar of mine?"

Li Qing chuckled: "How come Lingyi is starting to say such bold things?"

"I learned all of these from Sister Ziyu back then, why doesn't my husband like them?"

Feeling the warmth emanating from the puppet avatar, Li Qing chuckled softly, "Perhaps we will soon meet Ziyu!"

"Is my husband going back to the Southern Moon Sea?"

Shan Lingyi also showed a look of surprise.

Since her brother left, she has no more obsessions.

Compared to this world, the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect naturally felt more familiar and welcoming to her.

"almost!"

Li Qing nodded slightly.

Upon closer examination, Mu Ziyu is a little older than him, now nearly five hundred years old, approaching the end of her lifespan.

Although with the help of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, extending his lifespan by more than a hundred years is not out of the question, he still needs to make plans as soon as possible.

Once the Zhenhai Pearl evolves, it will be time for him to return to the Southern Moon Sea.

As for Mu Ziyu's method of prolonging life, he had already made up his mind.

"So many years have passed, I wonder how Ziyu and the others are doing!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

Because the distance between the two worlds is too great, they can only travel between each other through ancient teleportation arrays, making simple communication methods completely useless.

He also has no way of knowing the current situation of the Southern Moon Sea.

"It's been over a hundred years since I left the Southern Moon Sea. Ming'er and Yang'er should have greatly improved their strength by now."
