Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1543 Heaven and Earth Celebration (Part 1)

Deep within a magnificent hall.

“Fellow Daoists are almost here, and I must go out to greet them. You can rest inside the hall for a moment and examine this ancient ice-type power first.”

"In any case, I still hope that Fellow Daoist Bingying can successfully enter the late Nascent Soul stage. Only in this way will she have the opportunity to wait for the unsealing of heaven and earth, and thus enter that more vast and boundless true spirit world to continue pursuing the Great Dao of Immortality."

Bingying Zhenjun stood still, her cold and beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at the young man in green robes who was gradually leaving.

At this moment, the words of her grandmother before her passing could not help but resurface in her mind.

"Ying'er, that True Monarch Qingxuan may seem ruthless, but he is not heartless. That special connection may become a great guarantee for your future cultivation path."

Bingying Zhenjun slowly lowered her head, her gaze complex as she looked at the storage bag in her hand.

Everything before my eyes confirms my grandmother's foresight.

This is the body of a terrifying ancient demon that is almost at the peak of the late fourth stage. Its body is imprinted with the unique ice-type Dao mark of its lineage. Its value is unimaginable. If it were placed in the outside world, it would be enough to drive any powerful ice-type Dao expert crazy.

Such a precious item, and the other party gave it to her so easily.

They even gave her two ancient demon cubs that were about to be born.

"With this ancient ice bear demon body, I can more directly comprehend the ice-elemental Dao within it, thereby further strengthening my Dao foundation."

Bingying Zhenjun gently put away the storage bag and beast spirit bag in her hand, and then a faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although the man did not explicitly define their relationship, he clearly considered her one of his own.

Otherwise, given the other party's current status and position, why would they take the initiative to summon a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like her and present her with such a generous gift?

At that very moment.

A grand announcement came from outside.

"The Grand Elder of the Desolate Ancestor Hall, the Grand Elder of Evergreen Valley, and the Grand Elder of the Howling Sky Sect have arrived."
-
Above the central Crystal Jade Plaza on Crystal Spirit Island.

"Greetings to the three Grand Elders! Greetings to the three Elders!"

As numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the periphery bowed in respect.

The six figures, radiating immense power, appeared simultaneously in the sky and slowly descended.

The leader was a short, stout old man with white hair, dressed in a simple gray robe. His seemingly small body exuded a sense of heaviness and majesty like a mountain. He was none other than Elder Chenhuang of the Desolate Ancestor Hall.

On either side of him were Elder Yunqing of Changqing Valley and Elder Fengyuan of Xiaotian Sect.

As for the other three, they were none other than the three Earth Barbarian True Monarchs who had recently participated in the great battle of the Ghost King Sect.

"I never expected that the three elders would come in person!"

Li Qing, along with the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce and Ancestor Xu Hai and others, rose to greet them.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qing!"

Elder Chenhuang, who was at the head of the group, looked at the young man in front of him with emotion: "Congratulations to all fellow Daoists!"

"Fellow Daoists, together with the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea, you have dealt a heavy blow to the ambitions of the Ghost King Sect and the Golden Demon Kingdom, and reclaimed lost territory. On behalf of the Central Sea, I also congratulate the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea on your perfect victory."

Elder Feng Yuan of the Xiaotian Sect, who was standing to the side, also smiled and offered his congratulations. Even Elder Yun Qing, who had been "forced" to come, had to suppress his complicated feelings and express the attitude on behalf of Changqing Valley.

After this battle, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect have lost their momentum, and a new world order has been formed and is unbreakable.

"On behalf of the cultivation community in the Eastern Seas, I would also like to thank the three Grand Elders and the Central Seas for their support of the cultivation community in the Eastern Seas!"

Li Qing greeted them with a smile, saying, "Without the help from the Central Sea, it would have been impossible to achieve such a great victory in this battle."

"It is truly a great honor for the cultivation world of the Eastern Seas that the three Grand Elders have personally come. Please, Grand Elders."

Behind the jade table in the center of Crystal Jade Plaza.

Li Qing and Elder Chenhuang sat in the middle, chatting and laughing freely among themselves.

"This is the second time they've openly shown themselves!"

Sensing the ever-converging gazes from all around, Elder Chenhuang of the Desolate Ancestor Hall secretly shook his head.

As the Grand Elder of the Desolate Ancestor Hall, the only super sect in the Southern Moon Sea, he sits behind the scenes, controlling the central sea area and even the entire Southern Moon Sea. He has almost never appeared in public. Unexpectedly, in the past one or two hundred years, he has had to personally appear to represent the Desolate Ancestor Hall.

It's true that life is unpredictable.

However, he had no choice but to appear in person in order to represent the Desolate Ancestor Palace in expressing respect for the Azure Mystery True Lord before him.

Looking across the entire Star Sea, perhaps only this Azure Profound True Monarch possesses such power, prompting the three top elders of their respective forces to personally attend and offer their congratulations twice in a row.

"It's probably not just that; those fellow cultivators who are stationed in other sea areas are also on their way."

Thinking of this, Elder Chenhuang of the Desolate Ancestor Hall felt a surge of emotion once again.

Perhaps this is a concrete manifestation of the great changes in the world.

The major powers that once held sway behind the scenes and controlled the operation of the entire world are now beginning to feel an unprecedented change – loss of control.

Before this, the major powers were like an invisible giant hand of heaven and earth, firmly holding the entire world in their grip and allowing their will to dictate the course of events. But now, the world is like a resurrected beast, about to break free from their control.

"Fellow Daoist Qing fought against four opponents in this battle, slaying an ancient ghost spirit at the peak of the late fourth stage of the Ghost King Sect. He has once again made a name for himself and shaken the world!"

Elder Feng Yuan, standing to the side, smiled and flattered, "Nowadays, Fellow Daoist Qing's reputation has already resounded throughout every corner of the vast Star Sea world!"

"Elder Feng Yuan is too kind. The entire Star Sea world is vast and boundless, teeming with powerful individuals. I merely possess some visible achievements."

While Li Qing was exchanging pleasantries with the other two elders...

Elder Yunqing, who represented Changqing Valley, remained seated in the same spot, expressionless and silent.

Only the occasional flash of complex emotions in his eyes revealed the inner struggle he was going through.

He naturally understood why this True Monarch Qingxuan had specifically requested and invited him to come.

The conflict between Changqing Valley and the other party can no longer be resolved by simple agreement and pleasantries; it is a conflict concerning core interests.

At that very moment.

A new, majestic voice interrupted the pleasantries among the group.

"Elder Master Meng of the Mengyun Sect has arrived."

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Two ethereal figures descended, one of whom was none other than the Dream Cloud Sect's Earthly Fiend Ranking's Lady of Fortune - True Monarch Qimeng.

The other figure was that of a hunched, thin old man.

He appeared, holding a black snake-head cane, his face gaunt, like that of an old man, supported by the Dream Master.

"Fellow Daoist Guan Meng has arrived as well!"

Elder Chenhuang of the Desolate Ancestor Hall stood up, while Elder Yunqing of the Evergreen Valley and Elder Fengyuan of the Howling Sky Sect also stood up with serious expressions, implicitly showing their stance. At the same time, Li Qing had already led everyone to stand up again and step forward to greet them.

"I didn't expect the Grand Elder to come in person!"

Li Qing smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I have long heard of the Grand Elder's illustrious reputation, and today I am finally fortunate to meet you."

"I am but an old man in my twilight years, I cannot accept such praise from Fellow Daoist Qing!"

Elder Guanmeng chuckled. The endless mist that had been churning in the depths of his old and cloudy eyes instantly became clearer than ever before. Upon closer inspection, strange white lines were etched deep within his pupils, as if trying to see through the illusion of the world.

"When Fellow Daoist Qing went to the Dream Cloud Sect back then, I was busy nurturing the little remaining life force in my body, so I was unable to personally welcome you. I hope Fellow Daoist Qing will not take offense!"

"Elder, you flatter me. I visited your sect quite abruptly back then."

During the exchange of pleasantries, Li Qing once again took a good look at the seemingly ordinary, hunched, and short old man in front of him.

Although one could clearly sense the aura of decline emanating from the other party, it was as if a phantom world was being nurtured within their body, making it impossible to see through.

That last sentence was not just a simple greeting; he had heard of the Grand Elder Guanmeng before him.

If Li Qing is currently the most dazzling late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Southern Moon Sea, then the last person who was equally famous in the Southern Moon Sea was this seemingly old and hunched-over man.

Nearly a thousand years ago, this Elder Guanmeng once wreaked havoc in an ancient ruin in the Inner Star Sea. He also escaped unscathed from the encirclement of two powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, thus establishing his dominance over that ancient Inner Star Sea.

In comparison, he is the real 'rising star'.

Unfortunately, this once renowned Elder Guanmeng was trapped and died at the late Nascent Soul stage, and has yet to reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

"I heard from my junior sister Qimeng that Fellow Daoist Qing is only a little over five hundred years old?"

Looking at the dashing young figure in the green robe before him, Elder Guanmeng felt a pang of regret.

How similar he was to this junior back then! Both were prodigies, both renowned throughout the world. However, time has passed and he has been trapped in the late Nascent Soul stage for nearly a thousand years, until his lifespan is about to run out, and he is unable to advance any further.

"Exactly!"

Li Qing nodded.

"Truly the prime of life!"

Elder Guanmeng sighed, "Even with the support of the Ancestor, I was only able to barely reach the late Nascent Soul stage at over six hundred years old!"

For a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage with a long lifespan, five hundred years is naturally considered young.

As he spoke, Elder Guanmeng smiled and shook his head: "Of course, I am naturally no match for Fellow Daoist Qing."

"However, it is truly a great fortune to have the opportunity to witness someone like Fellow Daoist Qing emerge from the Southern Moon Sea in the remaining time."

At his peak, he could at most escape from two late-stage Nascent Soul experts with ease, but he could never have achieved the remarkable feat of fighting four late-stage Nascent Soul experts at the same time while still managing to kill them.

A complex expression appeared in the eyes of the True Monarch Qimeng standing to the side.

How could the outside world know what the Grand Elder had gone through?

Given the overwhelming strength of the Grand Elder's foundation in the Dao he displayed back then, he shouldn't have been trapped in the late stage. It was only because he was forced to choose another path that was almost impossible to succeed that he was unable to advance any further even after exhausting his entire life.

Ultimately, the Grand Elder's goal back then was not just to reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, but to become a great cultivator standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth. However, there was no other suitable Dao-entrusting artifact within the Dream Cloud Sect, which forced the Grand Elder to switch to cultivating another special Dream Path that only existed in legends.

"Elder, you're too kind."

"Elder Guanghua of the Jinhua Sect has arrived."

As the new, magnificent sound faded away.

The Grand Elder of the Jin Hua Sect, another major power in the Southern Moon Sea and Northern Region, appeared in the sky at the same time.

However, this is not the end of the story.

"Elder Po Jun of the Heavenly Halberd Sect has arrived."

"Fellow Daoist Qing, please go and greet those two fellow Daoists first. There's no need for us to stand on ceremony!"

Elder Guanmeng smiled and nodded, then led True Monarch Qimeng to sit down at the central jade table.

at the same time.

Li Qing continued to lead a group of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Seas to welcome the newly arrived elders of the two top forces.

"On behalf of the Jinhua Sect, I congratulate Fellow Daoist Qing and also the cultivation community of the Eastern Seas on their great victory."

But a tall, imposing old man in a golden robe landed first, accompanied by another middle-aged man in a golden robe.

"Thank you, Elder, for traveling such a long way to visit us."

the other side.

The entire area surrounding Crystal Jade Plaza was filled with Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Sea region, all of whom were shocked.

"The Golden Flower Sect, one of the two top powers in the Northern Region, has also arrived, and it was that Grand Elder who came in person. Also present was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Halberd Sect, who is stationed in the Western Region of the Southern Moon Sea."

"Of the seven top powers in the entire Southern Moon Sea, six have appeared, and all of them are the true controllers of their respective top powers—the Grand Elders!"

"Such a magnificent scene is truly unprecedented."

Countless shocked gazes once again turned to the young figure in green robes representing the cultivation world of the eastern sea region.

At this moment, the other party was wearing a calm smile, exchanging pleasantries with the two newly appeared elders of the two top forces.

Looking across the entire Southern Moon Sea, or even the entire vast Star Sea world, there is probably no one who, with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, could command the personal presence of the Grand Elders of the six top powers to offer their congratulations.

"Ancestor Qingxuan!"

"I'm afraid only Ancestor Qingxuan could possess such power!"

Just as countless eyes were filled with shock.

A new, magnificent sound rang out once more.

"Elder Zhenyang of the Duanyang Sect has arrived."

Thus, the seven supreme elders of the seven peak forces, who were the controllers behind the vast world of the Southern Moon Sea, appeared simultaneously in the cultivation world of the Southern Moon Sea and gathered together.

"The Grand Elder of the Duanyang Sect, who is in charge of the vast sea area of ​​the Southern Region, has also appeared!"

A corner of the outer Jingyu Plaza.

Even the stunningly beautiful and aloof woman dressed in a white palace gown couldn't help but be filled with shock in her eyes.

Although she had also heard that the scale of this Eastern Immortal Cultivation World Celebration would be unprecedented.

But when this scene appeared.

Even Bingying Zhenjun was deeply shocked.

"Because of him alone, the leaders of the seven top powers in the vast Southern Moon Sea all appeared."
