Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1547 Subjugation
Inside the main hall.

"Venerable Burning Wind!"

Looking down at the old ape bound by white chains and covered in orange-red fur, Li Qing couldn't help but find it amusing.

This old ape was none other than the Burning Heaven Venerable who had chased after him during the trade in the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

This demon belongs to the Burning Heaven Wind Ape bloodline and is born with control over the two paths of wind and fire, possessing considerable strength.

However, at this moment, the once fierce and tyrannical Venerable Burning Wind was weak, his demonic eyes were closed, and his soul had been severely injured and sealed.

"After hearing that he had offended Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, the Grand Elder personally took action to severely injure and seal him!"

The old demon clan member Hu Ming bowed again and said, "Although he nominally belongs to our Nine Heavens Demon Sea, he has never been under the command of our Qingqiu lineage. He offended Fellow Daoist Qingxuan back then because of his own ferocity. I hope Fellow Daoist Qingxuan will forgive him!"

"Excellent, I really like this gift from the nobleman!"

Li Qing nodded with a smile.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, let bygones be bygones. However, I still want to give Elder Hu Ming a word of advice!"

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please speak!"

The old demon clan elder, Hu Ming, immediately bowed and said.

"Yang'er is my second disciple. Since the Qingqiu lineage has already reached a cooperation agreement with him, I will no longer interfere. He will fulfill his promise in the future. However, I still hope that you will not harbor any disloyal thoughts!"

Hearing the warning subtly revealed beneath that calm tone, the elder of the demon clan, Hu Ming, quickly nodded: "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, rest assured, our Qingqiu lineage will definitely keep our promise and do our best to help Young Master Heyang and the half-demon clan grow. We will never be half-hearted, and we would never dare to harbor any disloyalty towards Young Master Heyang."

"That's for the best. Whether they are demons or other races, they are ultimately seeking their own path to immortality. Since there is no conflict of interest, they can still cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

After some warning, the old demon clan member Hu Ming, representing the Nine Heavens Demon Sea lineage, took his leave in fear and trepidation.

in the hall.

"Master, rest assured, even if the Qingqiu lineage imprisons me, they will find it difficult to utilize the power of my bloodline!"

Feeling the concern from his master, He Yang bowed deeply with gratitude.

"Of course I'm not worried about the present!"

Li Qing gently shook his head: "However, with the intervention of forces from outside the realm, no one can know whether the Qingqiu lineage will also receive help from outside the realm."

"The strength and methods of those powerful beings from beyond the realm are unpredictable. No one knows whether they can master the means of utilizing the bloodline of auspicious beasts. It would be best to be cautious when dealing with the Nine Heavens Demon Sea lineage in the future."

"Disciple understands. I am sorry to have troubled Master with your concern!"

next moment.

Li Qing waved gently.

Streaks of blue light instantly descended upon the sealed Venerable Burning Wind within the hall. Bang! Bang! Bang! The white demonic seals shattered instantly.

call!call!
In an instant, a mighty demonic wind swept through the hall, from which bursts of demonic flames were born. Fueled by the wind, the fire intensified.

However, as a vast expanse of blue light shone once more, the raging storm of demonic winds and flames was instantly extinguished.

at the same time.

Venerable Burning Wind also slowly opened his eyes.

The once ferocious demonic eyes now revealed fear and terror. Only when it clearly saw the familiar young figure in green robes sitting quietly in front of it did its last hope shatter completely, leaving only despair in its demonic eyes.

"Damn the Nine Heavens Demon Sea, damn the Qingqiu lineage, they betrayed the entire demon race!"

"In order to quell the anger of a human cultivator, they forcibly injured and sealed me, and even regarded me as an apology."

Although it is born with ferocity and tyranny deep in its bloodline, that does not mean it is a fool.

On the contrary, the first thing it does after each awakening is to gather all kinds of information and observe the major changes in the world.

It was only after the Earthly Fiends Ranking was announced that it learned that the human cultivator who had escaped from its grasp had now become a member of the Earthly Fiends Ranking.

Since then, it fled the territory of the Nine Heavens Demon Sea and found a new hidden lair, fearing that the other party would come to retaliate. However, in the end, it still could not escape this calamity.

Not long ago, it emerged from seclusion again, intending to go to the City of Ten Thousand Demons to find some spiritual items. However, after seeing the latest shocking news that stunned the entire Inner Star Sea world, it was so frightened that it retreated back to its lair.

And the message clearly stated the thing it cared about most.

Qingxuan Zhenjun, a cultivator from the Eastern Sea, fought against four powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, killing one of them.

"How the damned Qingqiu clan knew where I was hiding?"

At that very moment.

A slightly mocking voice rang in its ears.

"Your Excellency should still remember me, shouldn't you?"

The old ape of the Burning Wind stared intently at the familiar figure in the green robe ahead.

My despair grew stronger.

It would naturally not forget the other party. Even without the matter of the Earthly Fiends Ranking, the fact that the ancient Kunpeng power was so powerful that it could hardly exist back then was enough for it to remember it.

"The chosen one of humanity's destiny for two hundred years!"

It has been less than two hundred years since the other party escaped from its grasp.

Two hundred years is perhaps just a long period of slumber for it.

However, in just two hundred years, the other party rose from the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm to become the Qingxuan True Monarch, who is now famous throughout the entire Star Sea World and is almost invincible.

"I accept my defeat!"

Looking at the other party's ambiguous smile, the Burning Wind Old Ape felt his blood boil again, and his demonic eyes regained their fierce and unwilling look.

"Not bad!"

Li Qing smiled slightly: "Would Venerable Burning Wind be willing to become the Soul Lamp in this hall?"

"Soul Lamp?"

Thinking of the human race's method of refining the soul into soul threads for eternal burning, the Burning Wind Old Ape felt his soul tremble, and the violence in his heart instantly dissipated, leaving only endless coldness.

"True Lord, could you spare my life?"

"Spare your life?"

Li Qing retorted, "What benefit would it bring me to spare your life?"

"I am willing to offer up my entire fortune, including all the spiritual treasures I have accumulated within the demon's lair."

"What spiritual treasures of heaven and earth do you think I lack?"

In an instant, the old ape of the Burning Wind fell silent again.

For the Nine Heavens Demon Sea to disregard its pride, severely injure and seal it, and personally deliver it to this Azure Profound True Lord as an apology, how could the other party, with his current status and position, possibly care about its wealth?

"Are you willing to serve me?"

Li Qing said calmly, "Accept the Soul Restriction and join my ranks, and I might spare your life!"

This demon possesses the bloodline of the Heavenly Wind Ape, making it incredibly powerful. It is far more valuable than simply killing it.

"impossible!"

The old ape's demonic eyes instantly turned blood-red and ferocious.

Implanting a soul restriction means being a slave for life. Not to mention a powerful demon, even ordinary demon kings below would find it hard to accept the fate of being a slave to humans.

"Since that's the case, then let's enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible!"

The hall instantly transformed into endless blue light, and thick blue chains emerged like thousands of tentacles, while others descended upon the Burning Wind Ape with immense pressure.

call!call!
A surge of raging demonic energy erupted, sweeping across the sky with demonic flames and transforming into a hurricane of raging fire. However, with the endless blue light falling, this hurricane of demonic fire was extinguished in an instant.

Even the powerful Burning Wind Ape, a peak-level force, was merely struggling in the face of Li Qing. Moreover, it had already been severely injured and was completely powerless to fight back.

Roar!Roar!
With a series of shrill roars, blue chains pierced through the body of the Burning Wind Old Ape Demon in an instant, and the gushing blood turned into a blood mist that rose up.

"no no!"

Sensing the other party's merciless killing intent, the ferocity in the old ape's eyes vanished once more; the approaching death filled it with fear. "I am willing to serve you, my lord!"

"Don't you want to enter the cycle of reincarnation again?" Li Qing said calmly.

The blue chains that were about to tear the Burning Wind Old Ape Demon's body to pieces stopped at this moment.

For him personally, adding another late-stage fourth-tier combatant wouldn't make much difference; it was only for He Yang's sake that he changed his mind.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been killed long ago.

He is not a magnanimous person.

Not to mention that this distant figure once chased after him.

"I am willing to serve you, sir!"

The old ape of the Burning Wind lowered its head in pain, staring at the blue chains piercing through its flesh.

Only when the other party actually made a move did it realize that the legendary reputation was not false at all.

After the seal was broken, it had no chance to struggle or resist.

"This person is undoubtedly a future great cultivator of the human race, with unfathomable potential. Serving him is nothing. Besides, I hunted him down back then, so this is now a matter of karma."

"Furthermore, following this person might allow me to further improve my strength in the future."

Just as it was forcibly using reason to convince the rebellious nature deep within its bloodline.

Wisps of black mist intertwined above his head, transforming into a deep mark resembling a sharp claw, before slowly descending.

"We cannot be slaves! We cannot be slaves!"

Just as the resistance deep within the bloodline of the Burning Wind Old Ape re-emerged.

"Accept or die!"

A cold, indifferent voice fell once more.

Moreover, the Burning Wind Old Ape knew very well that once it resisted, the other party would probably not show any mercy. The scene just now was the best proof that its value was dispensable to that person.

The black claw mark instantly entered the depths of the Burning Wind Old Ape's consciousness, fiercely stabbing towards his soul.

Roar!Roar!Roar!
Painful wails echoed through the main hall.

"Congratulations, Master!"

He Yang smiled and stepped forward to bow.

"Congratulations to me?"

Li Qing chuckled lightly: "Consider this demon a gift from your master. Let it follow you in your cultivation!"

He no longer needs the support of a late-stage fourth-tier demon king.

He Yang's cultivation level is still relatively weak, but with a powerful late-stage fourth-tier demon king protecting him, his safety can be guaranteed.

Moreover, unlike them, He Yang is of auspicious beast bloodline and is born with the favor of heaven and earth, so he does not need to undergo life-and-death trials like they do.

"Thank you for the reward, Master!"

He Yang looked pleasantly surprised.

This was a true late-stage fourth-tier demon king, and I never expected my master to bestow it upon me directly.

On the other side, the Burning Sky Old Ape, who had just relieved the pain from his soul, stood there blankly.

Serving this True Monarch Qingxuan was acceptable to him originally, but now he has to follow a weak cultivator.

"My lord, I wish to follow you!"

The old ape of the Burning Wind quickly spoke up.

"Are you qualified to participate in my battle?" Li Qing said calmly.

The old ape of the Burning Wind fell silent again.

This creature can even kill beings at the peak of the late fourth-tier level, so it is indeed not qualified to participate in the opponent's battle.

"Although Yang'er's cultivation level is low, he possesses the bloodline of an auspicious beast and is favored by heaven and earth. You should take good care of his cultivation. In time, Yang'er will be able to help you break through to the peak of the late stage."

After imprinting the Soul Restriction, Li Qing became more tolerant of the old ape, since it was now one of his own.

"Auspicious Beast Bloodline!"

The old ape with the burning wind beside him had already widened its demonic eyes in disbelief.

"Elder Fenfeng, we will need your continued assistance in the future!"

He Yang smiled very amiably and took the initiative to cup his hands in greeting to the old ape of the Burning Wind.

"When I reach the late Nascent Soul stage, I can use the auspicious beast bloodline within me to refine your demonic body and help you accelerate your cultivation!"

"Young Master, you're too kind!"

The old ape with the burning wind quickly bowed in respect.

At this moment, it no longer dared to underestimate the other party because of its cultivation level.

As a member of the demon race, it naturally understood the value of the auspicious beast bloodline.

Legend has it that an ancient auspicious beast descended, nurturing all things in heaven and earth, and was even revered as a holy spirit by the demon race.

"With Elder Fenfeng here, you no longer need to worry about dangers from the Golden Demon Kingdom!"

A faint smile appeared on Li Qing's face.

After all, having gained a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is a cause for celebration.

At that very moment.

Several figures began to walk in from outside the hall.

"Then this disciple will take my leave with Elder Fenfeng."

A moment later, Ancestor Xuhai and others also came to say goodbye.

The celebration of the immortal cultivation world in the eastern sea area has all ended.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, our three major families plan to fully develop our branch associations in various locations and attempt to open a route into the Inner Star Sea."

Elder Xue Ming and others from the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce began to proactively report on the future development of the Chamber.

Unbeknownst to them, the once equal cooperative relationship between the two parties has undergone a fundamental change.

"That's good. Even if we can't obtain sufficient benefits, we can still keep track of the changes in the Inner Star Sea at any time!"

Li Qing nodded.

This is naturally advantageous to him.

The tremendous changes brought about by the unsealing of heaven and earth will undoubtedly be concentrated in the most ancient realm of the inner star sea.

Although he is in the Southern Moon Sea, his focus will remain on the Inner Star Sea.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, rest assured, our three great families will definitely establish a firm foothold in the Inner Star Sea as soon as possible and keep abreast of the changes in that world!"

Old Ancestor Xue Ming and the others quickly reassured him.

They all knew very well that the greater future benefits for the three major families would come from this Fellow Daoist Qingxuan.

If it can help the other person in their spiritual practice, then that is where the real benefit lies.

The stronger this Fellow Daoist Qingxuan is, the more stable the foundation of their Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce will be.

At that very moment.

Ancestor Xue Ming and the others exchanged glances, then spoke again: "There is one more thing!"

"Our three major families intend to discuss with Sect Master Mu the possibility of involving the disciples and elders of the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect in the operations of the Dao Origin Chamber of Commerce, thereby sharing some of the profits with the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect."
