Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1505 Deal, Reconciliation

Yunliang Kingdom.

The vast world that fell into the demon realm with the emergence of the Yin Corpse Sect has now returned to the sphere of influence of the cultivation world.

After taking control of Fuling Island, it brought new prosperity and order to this desolate land.

Countless sects and families that were once rooted in the South China Sea are now following in the footsteps of Fuling Island and entering Yunliang Kingdom.

The South China Sea has now been completely transformed into a new demonic realm, leaving no room for any other forces to survive.

The new core world of Yunliang Kingdom - Fuling Mountain Range.

After the extensive transformation of Fuling Island.

At the center of the mountain range where all the spiritual veins converge, a vast, azure spiritual lake has long since been transformed, resembling an inland sea, with a huge spiritual island nestled within it.

Although the sect moved to the mainland, Fuling Island still retained its original layout.

The outer perimeter of the Fuling Mountains.

A figure in cyan slowly descended.

"Fu Ling Hai!"

Looking at the vast blue ocean surrounded by the continuous mountain range in the distance, an interesting glint flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

Unexpectedly, in order to preserve the sect's reputation, Fuling Island created an artificial sea and continued to use the island as the sect's base.

However, this artificial sea, named Fuling Sea, is not merely superficial. The vast ocean exudes an immense pressure, clearly indicating that it possesses deeper layers of power.

The existence of the Fuling Sea also isolates Fuling Island from the outside sects and forces. Only disciples of Fuling Island can freely enter the entire Fuling Sea, and the surrounding mountain ranges and spiritual peaks have become new prosperous trading areas.

Black Spirit Market.

It is the largest and most prosperous trading place in the outer mountains of Fulinghai.

Amidst the surging crowds around him, Li Qing slowly arrived at the heart of the market, at the top floor of the Immortal Appreciation Pavilion atop a spiritual peak.

"Fellow Daoist Qing!"

Two figures stood up one after the other and bowed respectfully.

It was Li Qing's old acquaintances on Fuling Island: Huo Rong Zhenjun and Jiang Yue'er, father and daughter.

"Sorry to have kept you two waiting!"

Li Qing smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Countless powerful figures across the entire Xuan Nan Continent now yearn to meet Fellow Daoist Shang Qing, and my daughter and I are truly honored."

Faced with Huo Rong Zhenjun's pleasantries and compliments, Jiang Yue'er felt a deep sense of agreement.

The influence of the battle for the opportunity in the Demon Fall Space had already spread to the ears of all the major powers in the Xuan Nan Continent. Father's words were no exaggeration. Which powerful figure was not curious about whether there were any remnants after that opportunity was destroyed by the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?

After all, this Fellow Daoist Qingxuan escaped unscathed from the destruction caused by such unimaginable power.

"see me?"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "They're just trying to find an opportunity within me!"

"Fellow Daoist Qing, you are mistaken!"

Fire Melting True Monarch shook his head with a sigh: "Most of them are just curious. Looking around this world, how many people dare to say they can snatch opportunities from you, fellow Daoist!"

Even though the person in front of me seems to be only at the late Nascent Soul stage, his terrifying strength has already been proven in the battle for the opportunity of creation in the past. He is definitely one of the strongest below the Great Cultivator.

Moreover, even the self-destruction of such a fortuitous opportunity that directly confronts the power of defying the rules of heaven and earth failed to pose a life threat to this Fellow Daoist Qing, which proves that the other party definitely has even more unimaginable trump cards and methods.

Let alone these top-tier forces, even the lowest-level cultivators can make this judgment.

"The world is vast, and there are countless powerful beings. Fellow Daoist Huo Rong is too kind in his praise."

Although he knew this was what Huo Rong Zhenjun was thinking, Li Qing naturally wouldn't accept such a compliment.

Only when he reaches the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage will he truly be able to bear the weight behind those words.

"However, I still want to congratulate Fellow Daoist Huo Rong on finding the object to which you can entrust your Dao. Given time, you will surely be able to stand at the pinnacle of this world!"

"Thank you for your blessings, Fellow Daoist Qing!"

Huo Rong Zhenjun gave a wry smile, but did not offer any further explanation.

Although he had reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and had the good fortune to obtain a fire-type Dao artifact through his journey through the Demon Fall Space, he also deeply understood that possessing a fire-type Dao artifact was merely a qualification to break through to the Great Cultivator realm.

There is still a long way to go before we truly reach that level.

Since there was no experience in advancing to the Great Cultivator level through the Fire Path on Fuling Island, he would have to explore his cultivation path alone.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Qing got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"I have come to pay my respects to Fellow Daoist Huo Rong in person, and also to exchange some water-based spiritual treasures with your sect."

Fire Melting True Monarch took the jade slip, examined it carefully, and then nodded.

"What a coincidence! The very things Fellow Daoist Qing needs are all in the sect's treasure vault," True Monarch Huorong paused, "but we cannot complete the transaction with Fellow Daoist Qing!"

"Oh!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Li Qing's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Those top-tier aquatic spiritual treasures are not only extremely rare, but each has its own unique uses. It's understandable that Fuling Island, as a sect that primarily inherits the Dao of the Water System, is unwilling to trade them.

"Fellow Daoist Huo Rong, rest assured, the item I'm using for the transaction is also a top-tier water-type spiritual treasure!"

As he spoke, Li Qing waved his hand gently.

Streaks of blue light instantly floated in the air, and various spiritual lights shone continuously, covering the entire pavilion.

"These are also top-tier aquatic spiritual treasures; Fellow Daoist Huo Rong, please feel free to choose."

As he watched the various precious lights flashing in the sky, True Lord Fire Melting couldn't help but show a hint of emotion on his face.

As the Grand Elder of Fuling Island, he naturally understood the value of these top-tier spiritual treasures in the sky, especially their unimaginable value to Fuling Island.

"It seems that this Fellow Daoist Qingxuan not only obtained the inheritance of that ancient Dao sect, but also its accumulated foundation!"

The next moment, True Monarch Huorong suppressed his inner turmoil and said solemnly, "The reason why those top-tier water-type spiritual treasures cannot be traded with Fellow Daoist Qing is because our Fuling Island wants to present them to Fellow Daoist Qing as a gift!"

"Give it to me?"

A hint of amusement crept into Li Qing's eyes.

In the past, he would not have refused such a free gift, but now his wealth is vastly different, and there is no need for him to owe favors to the Spirit Island.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay since ancient times.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, please don't misunderstand!"

True Monarch Huorong spoke again, explaining, "Our Fuling Island is not acting out of any scheme, but rather seeking to take this opportunity to reconcile with Fellow Daoist Qing."

"During the struggle for the opportunities in the Demon Fall Space, Elder Ziyang took the initiative to attack Fellow Daoist Qing for the sake of the opportunity. Later, after the Ancestor learned of this, he entrusted me to convey his apologies to Fellow Daoist Qing. These few spiritual treasures are our apology from Fuling Island."

Watching her tall father, the Grand Elder of Fuling Island, bowing respectfully, Jiang Yue'er felt a complex mix of emotions once again.

You should know that not only has my father reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, but he has also obtained a fire-type Dao-entrusting item, giving him a real chance to break through to the Great Cultivator realm. Even so, my father still took the initiative to bow to that young man in a green robe who was in the late Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, Jiang Yue'er recalled her memories from that year once again.

When the two first met, the other was just an insignificant mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, while she was already one of the strongest geniuses in the Taiyuan Realm cultivation world. Now, the difference in strength and status between the two is like heaven and earth.

The key point is that she remains one of the leading figures of the younger generation in this Taiyuan Realm cultivation world, and has never fallen behind. It can only be said that she is simply too monstrous.

"In that case, I shall accept your offer!"

Li Qing gladly accepted the settlement and apology.

"We are all cultivators, and we are defying the heavens by nature. The struggle for opportunities has nothing to do with our stance!"

"What happened back then is long gone, and besides, I am willing to befriend your clan."

This is actually a principle that Li Qing has always adhered to.

In the world of cultivation, everything is based on strength, and the strong prey on the weak.

Therefore, he saw through the so-called fighting for treasures, seeing it as having nothing to do with good or evil, but simply about interests.

He has come this way over the years.

Moreover, his relationship with Fuling Island is quite complicated, and there is no truly hostile stance between them.

Jiang Yue'er, who was standing next to him, was his old friend. Back when they were cultivating in the South China Sea, he had relied on Jiang Yue'er's background to rise rapidly.

Furthermore, the conflict over the Demonfall Space has ended, and there is no longer any conflict of interest between him and Fuling Island. The relationship between the two sides has been restored, which is entirely beneficial to him.

"Being on good terms with Fellow Daoist Qing is also the expectation of the Ancestor and the entire Fuling Island!"

Fire Melting True Lord had a smile on his face.

Compared to being able to reconcile with this True Lord Qingxuan, a few water-based spiritual treasures are nothing. Even if the other party makes more demanding conditions, Fuling Island will do its best to meet them.

Who would want to offend a future great cultivator, even if the other party is only at the late Nascent Soul stage?

However, ever since the struggle for the opportunity of creation in the Demon Fall Space, all sides have long tacitly agreed that this True Monarch Qingxuan will definitely become one of the great cultivators who will stand at the peak of the Sealed Land in the future, and he is even more likely to be a great cultivator than an ordinary one.

There are also different levels among the great cultivators. As the world continues to be unsealed in the future, great cultivators will personally participate in the final struggle for the creation of this world. At that time, great cultivators will no longer be in a superior position.

"Our ancestor once said that he hoped Fellow Daoist Qing could visit us someday."

"sure!"

"I will personally return to the sect to retrieve those rare treasures. My daughter will accompany Fellow Daoist Qing to wait here for a while."

In a short while, only Jiang Yue'er and Li Qing remained in the pavilion.

"I haven't even had a chance to congratulate Fellow Daoist Jiang yet, it seems you're not far from breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage."

Li Qing chuckled and said, "Perhaps next time we meet, we'll be true kindred spirits!"

"Even if I have broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, how can I compare with Fellow Daoist Qing?" Jiang Yue'er said helplessly.

She knew perfectly well that her father had not lied at all.

The matter of reconciling with the other party was personally instructed by that ancestor.

Such a thing is probably rare to see in the entire Xuannan Continent.

How could a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator make a powerful cultivator, who stands at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, take the initiative to seek peace?

Moreover, Ancestor Fuhai specifically instructed her father to use her connection to strengthen the relationship between Fuling Island and this fellow Daoist Qing.

"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Jiang is still young, and he has a long road ahead of him!"

Looking at Jiang Yue'er, who had returned to her girlish appearance, Li Qing chuckled and teased her.

"I remember Fellow Daoist Qing is not even as old as me!"

Jiang Yue'er, with her delicate features, slightly pursed her lips.

"I'm curious, Fellow Daoist Jiang, how far do you need to cultivate before you no longer need to undergo physical transformations?"

Looking at Li Qing's curious gaze, Jiang Yue'er's young face showed a hint of helplessness: "Great cultivator!"

Although it concerned the concealment of her cultivation path, she still told the truth.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Jiang will remain young for a very, very long time!"

Li Qing smiled wryly.

Even though Jiang Yue'er is exceptional in both talent and the lineage she has cultivated, it might not be so easy for her to even glimpse the realm of a great cultivator.

"Girl, young girl, and the real self—even the body changes between these three states; it's truly unique."

"Fellow Daoist Qing, perhaps we should change the subject?"

Compared to Huo Rong Zhenjun's attitude, Jiang Yue'er, whose cultivation level was lower, was more casual. After all, the two had known each other since they were weak and had worked together to fight enemies many times.

"Was your clan's decision to relocate before because of that ancient ruin?"

Li Qing seized the opportunity to shift the topic to one of the purposes of his trip.

"Not bad!"

Jiang Yue'er didn't hide anything: "After that ancient star relic collapsed, it affected the entire Fuyue Islands' sea veins, and also had a great impact on our Fuling Island. In addition, the sea races were eyeing us covetously, so our ancestor made the decision to relocate the sect."

"Fellow Daoist Qing, you're probably heading to the Star Palace next, right?"

"How do you know this, Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

A sense of surprise arose in Li Qing's heart.

The reason he came in person was that trading water-related spiritual treasures was only one of his purposes.

"Now that the Star Palace wants to be bound to Fellow Daoist Qing in every way, it will definitely share some of the gains from the ancient star relics with Fellow Daoist Qing!"

Seemingly anticipating Li Qing's curiosity, Jiang Yue'er continued, "I cannot reveal what exactly happened, as it concerns a major secret of the Star Palace. You will know everything when Fellow Daoist Qing arrives."

These words aroused even more curiosity in Li Qing.

When he emerged from seclusion, he received a letter from the Star Palace inviting him to visit, saying it concerned the advancement of the Heavenly Star Turtle.

Therefore, it is clear that the Star Palace must have gained a great deal from that ancient star relic.

"Now it seems that no place name came about out of thin air!"

Jiang Yue'er shook her head: "The Fuyue Islands were formerly known as the Lanyue Islands. Later, our Fuling Island renamed them the Fuyue Islands. They were originally the dojo of a powerful star cultivator in ancient times. That ancient star relic is the core of the entire Fuyue Islands, which is why our Fuling Island's foundation was damaged."

Although she didn't specify the exact secrets, Jiang Yue'er still took the initiative to reveal some inside information.

After a while.

Fire Melting True Monarch returned with several top-tier water-based spiritual treasures.

"If Fellow Daoist Qing wishes to travel to the Star Palace, you may wish to use the teleportation array on our Fuling Island. There is also a teleportation array that has been set up in advance deep within the outer market."

This is also a tacit understanding between the two parties.

Just as the Old Ancestor Fuhai invited him to visit, Li Qing would certainly not go to the core area of ​​the Fuling Island sect without absolute confidence in his own safety.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Even if Fuling Island talks about how to befriend them, Li Qing is not going to gamble on the complexities of human nature.

After all, he and that Ancestor Fuhai both belonged to the Water Path, which meant that the opportunities he had were ready-made fortunes for the other party.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Huo Rong."
