Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1561 Thirty Years

Time flies like an arrow; life is fleeting.

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The frozen sea.

In the vast white expanse of heaven and earth, howling winds swept across the land, and endless ice crystals merged into it, transforming into sharp blades that tore apart everything in the world.

On the thick, unfathomable ice layer, deep ravines were cut open, like naked wounds on this frigid world.

And in the center of this icy plain.

Deep within the icy valley surrounded by majestic ice peaks, torrents of ancient ice crystals shaped like snowflakes surged into the sky, intensifying the already bone-chilling cold. Countless tiny cracking sounds rose and fell, even freezing the howling, mighty winds.

The next moment, the torrent of snowflake-shaped ice crystals suddenly dissipated, falling all over the sky. Each snowflake ice crystal was deeply embedded in the sky, as if taking root and sprouting, growing endless ice patterns that intertwined and covered the heavens and the earth.

An even harsher ice prison then appeared, where everything inside was being rapidly frozen.

Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a white palace gown emerged gracefully from the depths of the icy valley. With each step she took, large snowflake-shaped ice patterns appeared beneath her feet.

"It's time for a promotion!"

Gazing at the icy world outside, a few ripples appeared in the depths of Bingying Zhenjun's clear and cold eyes.

Even when faced with the opportunity to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage, she could not remain completely unmoved.

In this vast ocean world, the late Nascent Soul stage is undoubtedly a huge watershed. Before that, everyone is an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, but once you enter the late Nascent Soul stage, it means that you have completely broken free from the many constraints of the world and become a powerful figure who looks down on the world.

Even the most powerful forces that rule this world would not easily offend a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator unless there is a direct conflict of interest.

This is not only an improvement in strength, but also a huge leap in status and position.

"Finally, I can fulfill the last wishes of several palace masters and my grandmother, and make the Ice Palace a truly top-tier Nascent Soul power!"

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the ice-patterned net that had enveloped the heavens and earth dissipated.

Roar!Roar!
As soon as the giant net of ice patterns spread out, a tremendous roar quickly came from the outer edge of the ice valley.

Boom!Boom!
Two enormous ice bears, each tens of feet tall and covered in long, snow-white fur, charged into the icy valley.

"These two little guys have actually reached the Great Perfection of the Third Tier!"

A gentle smile slowly appeared on Bingying Zhenjun's cold, jade-like face.

As expected of the descendants of that terrifying ancient ice bear demon, the two ice bear demon cubs, only twenty or thirty years old, are already approaching the level of a fourth-order demon king, demonstrating the strength of their bloodline.

Woohoo! Woohoo!
Two enormous ice bears, exuding an ancient, savage, and ferocious aura, circled around Bingying Zhenjun like two cubs, emitting ingratiating whimpers.

"You greedy little rascal!"

Bingying Zhenjun chuckled softly, flicked her jade hand, and two blood-red, icy streams of light fell towards the two ice bear cubs.

Roar!Roar!
After swallowing the two ice bear cubs, they let out excited roars.

That was a blood pill refined using the bloodline power of a fallen ancient ice bear demon, making it perfect for nurturing two ice bear cubs.

"Perhaps by the time I emerge from seclusion after my advancement, both little ones will have already reached the fourth rank!"

Looking at the two ice bear cubs rapidly refining the power of the blood pill, she couldn't help but think of their original owner.

This was the gift the other party had given her, especially the fallen body of that powerful ancient ice bear demon, which greatly helped her, allowing her to finally reach the pinnacle of her ice-elemental freezing cultivation.

"Although I missed that opportunity in the Daoist Path, at least I didn't waste this period of arduous cultivation!"

Thinking of the cyan communication token on his body, Bingying Zhenjun felt a strange feeling.

To this day, she has long since accepted that 'ill-fated relationship' from the beginning. Although the two of them are not officially called Daoist partners, their relationship has transcended that of ordinary Daoist friends.

Whether it was the opportunity presented by the Ice Bear Ancient Demon or the opportunity in the Dao Crack that the person actively led him to, both are the best proof.

"Ying'er!"

Just then, the beautiful woman with the cold moon led several figures and quickly descended towards the ice valley.

"Congratulations, Palace Master!"

Several Nascent Soul female cultivators from the Ice Palace were all extremely excited.

Before long, Palace Master Bingying will be able to break the curse that has been passed down through the Ice Palace and become a true late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse.

"I will have to trouble my martial uncle and the elders to protect me!"

"Good! Good!"

The beautiful woman nodded repeatedly.

The next moment, as if she had thought of something, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes: "Should Ying'er inform that person?"

"Promotion is a serious matter, and we must not make the slightest mistake."

Even if that person cannot come in person, given their status and position as the Lord of the Eastern Sea, it would be easy for them to arrange for a late-stage Nascent Soul expert to come and protect them.

"Uncle-Master, you're overthinking it!"

Bingying Zhenjun smiled faintly: "In this world, who would dare to act presumptuously?"

"Too!"

The beautiful woman under the cold moon smiled silently.

This is the Qingyuan Sea Region, the core central world personally overseen by that person. Not to mention the people of the Southern Moon Sea, even the powerful figures from the outer seas or even the inner star seas wouldn't dare to make a move here casually.

Even though the outside world is unaware of the special relationship between Ying'er and that person, it is common knowledge that the Ice Palace has a close relationship with the Thousand Water Spirit Sect.

"Besides, this promotion shouldn't take too long; I've already grasped that crucial moment of perfection."

call!call!
The beautiful woman, Hanyue, led several Nascent Soul elders from the Ice Palace to descend onto the giant peaks surrounding the Ice Valley and began to jointly activate the grand formation.

A vast and powerful torrent of pure, icy energy, like countless resurrected ice dragons, began to converge frantically into the interior of the ice valley—
The Northern Demon Realm of the Eastern Star Mystic Sea.

Luoxing Islands.

Inside a magnificent black demon palace deep within the forbidden area of ​​the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

Li Xuan held an ancient black token in his hand, a peculiar smile appearing on his lips.

Since the end of the negotiations with the Grand Elder of the Demon Food Sect, the two sides have had no further contact. The Demon Food Sect has never interfered with the expansion of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, but it has never taken the initiative to express its support, which further highlights the special independent status of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

Now, after waiting for thirty years, they have finally received a message from the Grand Elder.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be making a move against the Western Regions of the Eastern Star Profound Sea!"

In just thirty years, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce has already extended its reach to every corner of the Northern Demon Realm, using its special status to secretly monitor all the movements of the entire Northern Demon Realm.

Prior to this, Heishan Yunqi had already sent word that the Demon Food Sect had secretly dispatched many elders to the Western Regions to investigate the situation in that cultivation world, and now it was clear that they were ready.

"I should be able to meet the other three Grand Elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect on this trip!" Li Xuan tapped lightly on the black throne with his right hand, a profound look appearing in his eyes.

Even now, apart from the Demon Devouring Sect, the other three peak ancient demonic sects have not yet made their public appearance, clearly indicating that they have even greater ambitions.

After all, how could the four major demonic sects, working together, be content with merely hiding in the northern demonic realm?

This was undoubtedly an opportunity for him, a chance to truly integrate into the Four Symbols Demonic Sect.

Only in this way could he gradually understand the secrets and opportunities behind the Four Symbols Demon Sect.

There must be a powerful figure from beyond the realm behind the Four Symbols Demonic Sect; that is their true purpose.

Of course, all of this was simply a natural progression.

The reason is simple: if the Four Symbols Demon Sect has ambitions, it will definitely need his help.

"As the world continues to unseal, perhaps the powerful force from beyond the realm behind the Four Symbols Demonic Sect will also bestow opportunities upon us."

Several days later.

A streak of black demonic light flashed and disappeared from the depths of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's forbidden area.

The Sea of ​​Devouring Demons.

The Central Sea Region, once the domain of the most powerful cultivation forces in the northern seas, now belongs to the Demon Food Sect.

Looking down from above.

On the vast sea, black demonic islands are scattered. Strangely, on each demonic island stands an ancient demonic statue with its huge mouth open as if it wants to devour the world. That is the demon god worshipped by the Demon Food Sect.

Meanwhile, deep within the Demon Eater Sect's territory...

A jet-black, demonic rainbow descended from the sky.

The demonic light dissipated, revealing a young figure dressed in a pure black Taoist robe.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi!"

The four enormous black demon-patterned flesh mountains were already waiting in place, and took the initiative to step forward and pay their respects.

"Fellow Daoists, you're too kind!"

Li Xuan's gaze swept over the four black demonic-patterned flesh mountains in front of him, one of whom was the Food Pool Palace Master whom he had personally suppressed back then.

The identities of these four people are self-evident; they are the four Demon Palace Masters who are in charge of the entire Demon Food Sect.

"Its foundation is truly unmatched by the Ghost King Sect!"

The massive black demonic mountain of flesh at the head of the group exuded a vast and heavy demonic aura. Its cultivation was only one step away from the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. The Lord of the Food Pool Palace was also approaching the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining two Palace Lords were also powerful figures in the late Nascent Soul stage.

According to the information he had, the entire Demon Food Sect openly possessed ten powerful demonic cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage, making it a formidable force.

It should be noted that these powerful figures from the Demon Devouring Sect are far superior to the late-stage fourth-tier ghost spirits of the Ghost King Sect, both in terms of potential and combat strength.

"The other three ancient demonic sects should have foundations not much different from the Demonic Devouring Sect. The fact that the Four Symbols Demonic Sect has secretly developed such a terrifying force clearly indicates that it has received support from a mysterious force from outside the realm."

Just then, the massive black demonic-patterned mountain of flesh at the head of the group took the initiative to cup his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi, the Grand Elder is already waiting in the council hall."

"Thank you for your help!"

The next moment, the group sped towards the depths of the Demon Food Sect's forbidden area.

During this time, Li Xuan's gaze would occasionally fall on the Demon Food Sect's encampment below, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

The Demon Eater Sect's headquarters was like an ancient demon sect magnified countless times. Every palace, pavilion, and building was extremely grand. Inside, massive black mountains of flesh traversed the area, giving him the feeling of entering an ancient tribe of giants.

It was especially comical to see a group of small, black-patterned flesh mountains gathered together, bowing to each other.

In the blink of an eye, the council hall appeared in front of them.

The majestic, towering black demonic peak was cut in half, and an incomparably magnificent and enormous black demonic palace almost completely occupied the empty space, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi!"

The four vast demonic figures that had been sitting quietly in the hall slowly stood up, and the one in the lead was none other than the Demon Devouring Sect's Grand Elder, Devouring the Underworld.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Li Xuan feigned surprise as he looked at the other three figures.

He already knew two of them; they were the Demon Bone Sect's Grand Elder and the Demon Skin Sect's Grand Elder who had escaped from his grasp. However, he was seeing the blood-robed, gaunt figure for the first time.

From afar, he appeared as a stern-faced, black-haired old man, with only his blood-red eyes standing out prominently.

Strangely, the other party's seemingly emaciated body seemed to flow like liquid inside the blood-stained robe, and a deep, bloody aura emanated from the surroundings.

Without a doubt, it must be that Grand Elder from the Demon Blood Sect.

The Four Symbols Demonic Sects each have their own unique traditions, among which the Demon Blood Sect is undoubtedly the most bizarre and mysterious. It is said that when one cultivates to a certain depth, one becomes immortal and indestructible, able to be reborn from a drop of blood, similar to the ultimate body cultivators of ancient times.

"Let me introduce you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi. These three are the Grand Elders of the Demon Bone Sect, the Demon Skin Sect, and the Demon Blood Sect."

The Grand Elder of the Devouring Netherworld made no attempt to conceal his identity and introduced the other three powerful demonic cultivators who were at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage in a very straightforward manner.

The purpose of the four of them appearing at the same time is self-evident.

Since we will still need to cooperate with this Xuan Shi Demon Lord in the future, there is no need to hide it.

"Greetings, Three Elders!"

Li Xuan continued to feign surprise as he bowed repeatedly.

The other three elders were also scrutinizing Li Xuan with varying expressions.

Their words just now weren't entirely polite. After all, as the first peak demonic sect to openly emerge, the Four Symbols Demonic Sect had long been secretly well aware of the Ghost King Sect. And Li Xuan, as a notorious demonic prodigy within the Ghost King Sect's camp, had naturally already caught their attention.

The difference is that before this, their understanding of Li Xuan was limited to that of a demonic prodigy with unlimited potential, but now he has suddenly become one of the strongest demonic cultivators on par with them.

"I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi's reputation, and seeing him today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved!"

The Grand Elder of the Demon Bone Sect spoke with a touch of politeness.

Although the other party is only at the late Nascent Soul stage on the surface, it doesn't matter. The demonic path has always respected strength, and the other party has already proven his strength and is fully qualified to sit with them.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi!"

The Demon Skin Sect's Grand Elder, who still sported the handsome face of a young man, smiled and nodded as well.

The battle of that year was deeply etched into his soul.

Even someone at the late Nascent Soul stage can still possess terrifying combat power.

The Qingxuan True Monarch, who was stationed in the cultivation world of the eastern sea, was the best example. He fought against four of them, who were at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, all by himself, and even killed the natal spirit ghost of the Ghost King Sect Master, who was the most terrifying one. He was truly defying the heavens.

Whenever he recalls that battle, he can't help but feel a lingering fear. If the enemy's target hadn't been someone else, one of them would probably have perished on that battlefield.

"Elder Sengu is too kind. My humble name is nothing compared to the three elders."
