Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1509 A Special Fate
Amidst the howling, cold winds sweeping across the heavens and earth.

A young figure in cyan appeared in the icy plains.

Looking at the vast white expanse around him, an interesting look appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

I never expected to find myself in this harsh and cold place again today.

The icy plains were the very place where he attained the Nascent Soul stage.

Back then, Baili Luo gave him an ice-type array that could be used to fight against the inner demon tribulation, so he came here specifically to form his Nascent Soul.

"Since we're already here, why not take another look at the place where we formed our Nascent Souls!"

Li Qing moved slightly, transforming into a streak of azure light that instantly pierced the sky.

What once seemed like a long and arduous journey was completed in just a moment.

Majestic ice peaks came into view.

This place was the very spot where he formed his nascent soul.

Time flies, and nearly three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three hundred years ago, he was just a Golden Core cultivator who was struggling to achieve the Nascent Soul Dao. Three hundred years later, he has already entered the late Nascent Soul stage and become one of the strongest cultivators below the Great Cultivator in this world.

However, the long period of time that brought about his dramatic change left no trace on this land; everything remained exactly as it was when he first arrived.

"Heaven and earth have no end, but human life is as fleeting as morning frost!"

Just then, Li Qing suddenly looked into the distance with a strange expression.

But all that could be seen in the distance was a majestic ice peak whose tip had been shaved off by an invisible force, leaving the entire peak riddled with cracks and incompleteness.

That was the ice peak where he formed his nascent soul back then, but now it has become a ruined mess.

"Could it be the work of some demonic beast?"

When I left, the entire ice peak, though struck by lightning, was still relatively intact.

"That's possible, because when I advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, the Great Dao rules fed back to me, and some of the power of creation remained in this ice peak."
-
After revisiting his old haunts, Li Qing traversed towering ice peaks and arrived deep within the icy plains.

Two figures had already appeared and were waiting.

"Brother Baili, it's been a long time!"

Li Qing's figure slowly descended.

"Yes, it's been two hundred and seventy years since we last met!"

Looking at his old friend's unchanged figure in his green robe, Baili Luo's face showed a touch of emotion.

The only change is that this old friend is now more composed and serene.

The other party has long since grown from the initial Nascent Soul stage to the renowned Azure Profound True Monarch.

"Upon reflection, I couldn't help but recall the promise I made with Brother Qing to meet at the summit back then," Baili Luo gently shook his head. "To my shame, Brother Qing is now approaching the pinnacle of this world, while I have somewhat stagnated!"

Li Qing smiled slightly: "Brother Baili, there's no need for such modesty."

"On the long road ahead, speed is not important; what matters is walking step by step. Although I may walk a little faster, I am not necessarily the first to reach the destination than Brother Baili!"

"Plants and trees do not compete to be tall; they compete to live on and thrive!"

"Since Brother Baili has chosen the path of accumulating strength before unleashing it, why would he care about his current cultivation level?"

To be honest, he was quite surprised when he saw that Baili Luo was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Given his natural talent and the support of the Baili family, it would be normal for him to reach the late Nascent Soul stage before him.

But this also proves Baili Luo's extraordinary qualities.

He didn't believe that the entire Baili family would personally negotiate with the Heavenly Demon Sect for the sake of a clansman with no potential.

This Brother Baili must have been very cunning, otherwise he might have been stuck at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"Even so, seeing Brother Qing's current power and prestige, I can't help but feel envious."

After exchanging pleasantries, Baili Luo took the initiative to introduce, "This is Elder Ming, a master of array formations in our family!"

"Greetings, Elder Ming!"

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

"No, please!" Elder Ming repeatedly bowed, "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, you may simply call me by my name - Baili Ming!"

Baili Luo and he were from the same family and had some seniority, but to outsiders and fellow Daoists of the same level, he could not bear such a title, let alone the one that was already famous throughout the world, the Azure Profound True Monarch.

Not to mention him, even if the Grand Elder of the Baili family himself came, they could only address each other as "fellow Daoist".

"Very well, greetings to Fellow Daoist Baili Ming."

Then Baili Luo bluntly explained the current situation in detail.

"I never expected that on our first meeting as friends, I would be helping Brother Baili," Li Qing joked.

"That ancient ice bear demon is incredibly powerful. Unless the family sends a late-stage peak expert in person, there's really no way to deal with it!" Baili Luo said helplessly, "We can only trouble Brother Qing!"

"It's such a trivial matter, why should Brother Baili need to use his family connections again!"

Li Qing waved his hand dismissively.

For him, the ancient Ice Bear Demon was no match for the current Ice Bear Demon; he simply did it as a matter of convenience.

"Why don't we kill this ancient demon first, and then catch up?"

Under Baili Luo's leadership.

The three of them returned to the deep, icy valley where a great battle had recently taken place.

“Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, would you please wait a moment? I will set up the formation first and cooperate with you,” Elder Ming said, bowing slightly.

"No need!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head, his figure turning into a blur as he fell towards the icy plain below.

call!call!
The Tian Shui Lun Hai Dao Jing then began to operate.

"Perfect opportunity to verify the power of the Celestial Wheel Realm!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three streaks of spiritual light shone forth.

The Heavenly Water Dao Disc erupted, and endless blue dark patterns condensed and spread towards the depths of the ice field. The Heavy Water Dharma Wheel and the Pure Water Dharma Wheel slowly rotated at the same time, and two completely different vast pressures swept down.

Streams of black, heavy water cascaded down, like massive, heavy pillars crashing into the depths of the icy plains. Countless milky-white rays of light fell, radiating a holy purifying power, and the originally frigid world instantly dissipated as if greeted by warm sunshine.

"As expected of the legendary Azure Mystic True Monarch!"

A hint of emotion appeared in Old Ming's eyes.

That person's move was extraordinary from the start. Although he appeared to be at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his power was in no way inferior to those at the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm outside.

Born into the Baili family, he naturally possessed extraordinary knowledge. Each of those three magical treasures revealed a unique Dao essence, far surpassing that of ordinary high-grade magical treasures.

In fact, both the Heavy Water Dharma Wheel and the Pure Water Dharma Wheel are nurtured by the power of the innate spiritual water source, so their power is naturally extraordinary.

As Li Qing's cultivation continues to advance, both Dharma Wheels will continue to grow stronger by absorbing the power of the innate spiritual water source.

Roar!Roar!
A furious, earth-shattering roar echoed once more from the depths of the icy valley.

Seemingly sensing that the enemy was formidable, the ancient ice bear demon did not continue to hide and charged out of the valley in its true form once again.

boom! boom! boom!
The towering, majestic demon body, nearly a thousand feet tall, suddenly rose, its two enormous palms slamming down upon the black torrent of heavy water and streaks of milky white light. The heavy black river of water was instantly severed, but it did not dissipate; instead, it quickly split into chains of heavy water that coiled around the ancient ice bear beast, with streaks of milky white light following closely behind.

Roar!Roar!
The next moment, the endless thick fur on the Ice Bear Ancient Beast's massive and majestic body stood upright, like endless steel needles, and its vast and ancient demonic power erupted, breaking free from the chains.

"In terms of power alone, it is almost equivalent to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Li Qing then began to make hand seals.

The Heavy Water Wheel Sea and the Pure Water Wheel Sea opened simultaneously, and two vast torrents of magical power, one black and one white, poured into the two natal magic treasures, while the even purer torrent of magical power from the Dantian Sea poured into the Heavenly Water Dao Disc.

"The Celestial Wheel Realm!"

The Heavenly Water Dao Disc descended instantly, carrying a vast expanse of blue light. Countless thick rainbows intertwined, instantly enveloping the entire Ice Valley and transforming it into a blue spiritual realm.

The heavy water Dharma wheel and the pure water Dharma wheel continued to rise and transform into two great suns, one black and one white, hanging high in the sky.

Black and white patterns intertwined with endless blue patterns, and the entire blue miniature world instantly took shape.

At this moment, the ancient ice bear beast, possessing only simple sentience, seemed to sense the danger, yet it did not launch an attack. Instead, it charged straight towards the icy valley cave behind it.

"Leave!"

Li Qing gave a cold shout.

The two natal Dharma wheels then spun, and the blue miniature world instantly turned into black and white.

The immense pressure of the black world poured down, shattering the thick, icy ground below into white ice crystals. The milky-white world shimmered continuously, purifying all the icy power.

Streams of heavy water light and milky white light intertwined and descended instantly, sealing off the Ice Bear Beast's retreat route.

Roar!Roar!Roar!
This action seemed to completely enrage the Ice Bear Ancient Beast, whose snow-white demonic eyes instantly turned blood red, and it went completely berserk.

A blood-red hue began to emanate from the depths of a pair of enormous, snow-white demonic eyes, filled with madness.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The enormous demonic body, as massive as a snow-capped peak, strode forward, crashing into the seal behind it like a collapsing mountain. Boom! Boom! Boom! The sheer force caused the ever-strengthening seal to begin to crumble, and at that moment, the two great suns hanging high above erupted completely.

The entire blue miniature world shrank rapidly, and the Heavy Water Wheel, like a world-destroying millstone, spun down at an accelerated speed, carrying immense pressure that ground cracks into the space itself. As the Pure Water Wheel descended, countless milky-white rays purified the vast, icy demonic power, instantly entangling the Ice Bear Ancient Beast.

The ancient ice bear beast, comparable to a mountain, now seemed to be carrying an unimaginable weight, its movements becoming stiff. The light of countless pure water forces instantly pierced through its fur and armor, tearing open huge wounds, and demonic blood gushed out.

Seeing that the Ice Bear Ancient Beast was unable to resist under the suppression of the Heavenly Wheel Realm, Li Qing took the initiative to descend into the depths of the Ice Valley.

His curiosity was piqued by the strange behavior of the ancient ice bear beast; it seemed that this ancient demon was guarding something.

at the same time.

The moment Li Qing landed in the Ice Valley, the Ice Bear Ancient Beast went completely berserk. Ignoring its massive physical injuries and the onslaught of the two Dharma Wheels, it recklessly continued to charge towards the seal behind it, its two giant paws pounding wildly.

Seeing this, Li Qing became even more curious about what it was that made this ancient beast risk its life to protect it.

Roar! !

A deafening roar rang out.

Seeing that it was unable to break free from the surrounding confinement, the ancient ice bear roared to the sky, and a large amount of blood-red light gathered in its mouth. Strangely, each wisp of blood-red light seemed to contain the icy power that could freeze the heavens and the earth.

That was the ancient cold bloodline within the Ice Bear Ancient Beast, and it began to stop Li Qing at all costs, sacrificing its own bloodline power.

boom! boom!
Blood-red light rained down, instantly enveloping both the Heavy Water Dharma Wheel and the Pure Water Dharma Wheel in crimson hue, freezing them in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ice Bear Ancient Beast once again recklessly crashed into the seal. Rumble!! The entire blue miniature world shook violently, and the seal was actually smashed open by it.

"Water Spirit Flows Splendor!"

Li Qing remained expressionless and waved his hand.

The ancient ice bear beast, which had just escaped half a step, was once again enveloped in a blue glow, and streams of tangible, dark blue light transformed into thousands of chains, sealing it back into place.

"The Gate of Mysterious Water!"

A hazy blue light shone out, and the Gate of Mysterious Water, carrying the suppressive power of the vast天地 (heaven and earth), blasted it away. At the same time, the Heavy Water Wheel and the Pure Water Wheel simultaneously broke the seal on the Frosty Bloodline, erupting once more to firmly reseal the Ice Bear Ancient Beast.

Roar!Roar!
The ancient Ice Bear Beast seemed to have fully realized the enemy's strength, which was far beyond its ability to contend with. Its roar was no longer filled with rage, but with boundless sorrow.

"No wonder!"

Only after seeing the scene deep within the icy valley did Li Qing truly understand the meaning behind the roar of the ancient ice bear beast.

It's an innate maternal instinct.

Deep within the icy valley, two hundred-foot-long clumps of black ice were piled up, sealing within them two enormous demon beast eggs.

Just then, a look of surprise appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

Beneath the two demon beast eggs and the mysterious ice, each sat a hollowed-out stone base, and within them emanated a faint aura that was extremely familiar to him.

"So the ice peak where I ascended was destroyed by the ancient ice bear beast from the outside world!"

A hint of amusement appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

It seems that these two soon-to-be-born little ones are indeed somewhat destined for him.

Because the lineage of ancient beasts is also suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth, it is equally difficult for them to emerge into the world.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the power of the rules of heaven and earth that he left behind when he ascended to immortality that these two little ones were able to be born smoothly.

The next moment, Li Qing reached out and waved his hand.

The two ice blocks that sealed the monster eggs fell into the Heavenly Wheel Realm along with him.

At this moment, the Ice Bear Ancient Beast's resistance was becoming increasingly weak, and a section of its back collapsed, with large amounts of demonic blood gushing out continuously. This was the injury caused to it by the Xuan Shui Gate.

No wonder he was puzzled at first as to why this powerful ice-type ancient demon hadn't used its innate divine power. Now it seems that it was probably weakening its bloodline in order to nurture its offspring.

"Surrender or die!"

Li Qing's gaze was fixed on the ancient ice bear beast, which was once again imprisoned by torrents of black, heavy water.

What happened next was exactly what he expected: the Ice Bear Ancient Beast unleashed another frenzied attack.

Ancient beasts are born with weak minds, and even such a powerful ice-type ancient beast is no exception; it might not even be able to understand his meaning.

Of course, even if they understand, these ancient beasts probably won't submit, and the lineage of ancient beasts needs to be nurtured from childhood.

"I'll take care of these two little ones!"

Li Qing waved his hand lightly, and the Heavy Water Dharma Wheel and the Pure Water Dharma Wheel erupted simultaneously, crashing down once more.
