Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1562 Action, Development

Inside the Demon Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanshi, do you still remember the matter we discussed when we first met?"

A smile appeared on the plump face of the Grand Elder of the Underworld.

"Of course I remember!"

Li Xuan smiled slightly: "To be honest, I have been looking forward to this for a long time."

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xuanshi to be even more impatient than us!"

The thin, elderly man in the blood-red robe said calmly.

"Elder Qiongxue, you are mistaken!" Li Xuan said solemnly, "I am not worried for myself, but for the entire demonic path."

"The trend of the unsealing of heaven and earth continues to intensify, and forces from all sides are constantly emerging. However, we can only eke out a living in such a remote corner. How long will it take for the demonic path to be revived?"

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the hall became somewhat eerie.

Elder Sen Gu from the Demon Bone Sect and Elder Xu Xiang from the Demon Skin Sect exchanged a glance, a strange light flashing in their demonic eyes.

Unexpectedly, this Xuan Shi Demon Lord was even more powerful than imagined, daring to openly defy Fellow Daoist Qiong Xue's words here.

"You think you can revive the entire demonic path?"

A mocking glint flashed in Elder Qiongxue's blood-red eyes.

Even their Four Symbols Demonic Sect had never considered such a grand vision from beginning to end, but they never expected that a mere late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator would utter such arrogant words.

"Although my personal strength is meager, I am willing to give my all for this!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan appeared calm and sincere.

The revival of the demonic path is naturally what he desires, as it would bring forth greater opportunities for the demonic path. However, as things stand, the momentum of the revival of the demonic path is still coming too slowly.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi for his ambition!"

The Elder of the Underworld, who was standing to the side, took the initiative to smooth things over and defuse the tense atmosphere in the hall.

The Four Symbols Demon Sect still desperately needs the other party's assistance, as this is a peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, which is crucial for the future battle.

At least until powerful cultivators at the Grand Master level can no longer openly appear, the other party is definitely a top priority for the Four Symbols Demon Sect to win over.

"To be honest, the reason I invited Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi here today is precisely for this matter!"

The Grand Elder of the Devouring Netherworld spoke in a deep voice, his face solemn: “Our four great demonic sects intend to expand towards the western region of the Eastern Star Profound Sea, to completely connect it with the northern demonic domain, and to build a truly vast demonic domain that can accommodate us.”

"What is Fellow Daoist Xuanshi's opinion?"

"The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce and I will certainly do our utmost!"

Li Xuan stated his position very decisively.

"it is good!"

The three elders of the Divine Netherworld in the hall all smiled at the same time, and even the Elder of the Blood of the Sky flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, this person was truly sincere and didn't even mention any conditions.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi, rest assured, our four great demonic sects will certainly not treat you unfairly. The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce will definitely share in the profits!"

"Thank you, Elder."

Faced with such a promise, Li Xuan was completely unconvinced.

To him, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce was merely a tool. He didn't expect it to develop into a behemoth that directly helped his combat power, which was obviously difficult to achieve. His strength improvement was beyond the reach of those below him.

He merely wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate his strength once again, so that the Four Symbols Demon Sect would trust him more, and even rely on him more, so that he could plan for future opportunities.

"What do the four elders intend to do?"

"I intend to first rally the demonic forces below and have them actively enter the Western Regions to encroach upon that land, thus testing the attitudes of all parties!"

The Grand Elder of the Devouring Netherworld said meaningfully, "A mere ancient sect is naturally not a concern. What is important is the reaction of the three top powers in the Central Sea."

Elder Sengu nodded: "In the past, we were able to occupy the Northern Region smoothly because the three top powers in the Central Sea were wary of our strength, and also because of orders from above."

"However, if we continue to encroach on the western sea area, the situation will be quite different. The top forces of the Eastern Star Profound Sea will probably not compromise easily."

"We're determined to fight!"

Elder Qiongxue said coldly.

"We'll each use our own methods. As long as we can force them to retreat, the Heavenly Vein Sect will have no choice but to withdraw!"

Elder Shiming looked at Li Xuan again: "We have made arrangements in advance, and we hope that Fellow Daoist Xuanshi can lend us a hand at that time."

"Rest assured, elders, I will be waiting quietly at the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce."

"."

After some discussion, Li Xuan also understood the plans and obstacles of the Four Symbols Demonic Sect.

Without a doubt, this will be a game of fate that will determine the future of the entire Eastern Star Profound Sea.

On the surface, the Four Symbols Demon Sect is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, but behind them lies the shadow of a powerful demon from beyond the realm, which is also a crucial and decisive factor.

"It all depends on the Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world's response: will they abandon the Western Regions, or choose to fight the Four Symbols Demonic Sect with all their might?"

In any case, this is destined to be a relatively long tug-of-war.

"Perhaps the super sect that's based in the central sea area of ​​the Eastern Star Profound Sea also has a background from outside the realm."
-
Just as the Eastern Star Profound Sea was about to face an unprecedented catastrophe.

The adjacent Southern Moon Sea, however, appeared remarkably calm.

Especially in the cultivation world of the eastern sea, despite being surrounded by a top-tier demon race and a top-tier demon sect, it is like a pure land. Not to mention any major upheavals, even large-scale battles are extremely rare. The entire cultivation world of the sea is well-ordered and develops rapidly in an orderly manner.

The biggest external factors causing instability are the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect, which are now holed up in their own territory and dare not make the slightest move.

Internally, due to the severe losses suffered by all parties in the previous calamities, the original uneven distribution of resources has disappeared. The major forces no longer need to fight and kill each other. Now, they are all cherishing the current peace and rapidly developing the strength of their respective sects and families.

Of course, all of this is based on the existence of one person.

Furthermore, since the establishment of the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect's trial grounds, the solutions to the conflicts between various forces have all been placed in these two trial battlefields, with the distribution of benefits determined by the contribution points earned from killing demons and demonic cultivators.

The core sea area of ​​Bianyu Sea.

The former residence of the Zheng family, then the residence of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect, has now once again become the territory of the half-demon race.

On the vast blue sea, a huge spiritual island, resembling a small landmass, sits between heaven and earth.

Deep within the majestic and continuous spiritual veins, a vast expanse of demonic energy crisscrosses, possessing less ferocity and more purity. Strange and bizarre streaks of light traverse these veins, some with human faces and animal bodies, others with animal faces and human bodies, and still others that are half-demon and half-human.

The difference is that the half-demon race of today no longer suffers from the decline and ruin of the past; instead, it presents a thriving scene. Looking down, the vast island is divided in two by a sculpture of a gentle figure in white robes carved from a mountain, which represents the two major factions of the half-demon race today: the demon cultivation lineage and the immortal cultivation lineage.

On the left, a vast island is dotted with various caves, forming primitive tribes. In contrast, on the right, various ancient palaces and pavilions are scattered in every corner of the island, resembling a complete ancient sect's residence.

Deep within one of the spiritual veins, at the bottom of a valley, grows a vast expanse of lush and verdant medicinal herbs.

A half-demon with azure wings flew across the spirit herb field, its wings flapping continuously, causing large swaths of azure mist to fall, and azure spiritual rain fell over the vast spirit herb field, nourishing each spirit herb as it grew vigorously.

Just then, another old man in a green robe descended into the valley.

On its serene, rosy face were several crescent-shaped markings made of interwoven blue scales.

"Elder!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the blue-winged half-demon in the sky quickly turned back and landed, revealing a handsome young man's face.

"Not bad!"

Looking down at the lush, thriving field of spiritual herbs, the old man with green scales smiled with satisfaction: "I never expected that Peng'er's wood-type bloodline could perfectly utilize the ancient wood-type inheritance brought by the Holy Lord."

"You have maintained this field of medicinal herbs very well!"

"Thank you for the praise, Elder. Peng'er only did what he should have done. In the end, it is the Holy Lord who bestowed upon me the powerful and extraordinary inheritance!"

The half-demon boy with blue wings on his back smiled brightly.

"Very well, your bloodline is naturally gentle, and you can easily sense the medicinal power of different spiritual herbs. Then come with me into the Alchemy Hall and begin to learn the art of alchemy!"

The old man with the green scales said with a warm smile, "With your talent, as your strength continues to improve, coupled with the blessing of your awakened bloodline, you will definitely be able to master the art of alchemy like a fish in water."

"Can Peng'er also refine pills now?"

The half-demon boy's wings trembled, and he was extremely excited.

Under the Holy Lord's arrangement, the cultivators of the half-demon race adopted the structure of human sects, and alchemy became the key development path for the entire half-demon race. Once they joined the Alchemy Hall, they would become true alchemists, not only possessing a remarkable status but also receiving key training from the tribe.

"Of course! The Holy Lord has praised your awakened bloodline highly. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to become the first Pill Saint in our Alchemy Hall in the future!"

"Thank you, Elder!"

"You should thank the Holy Lord. Everything we half-demons have comes from the Holy Lord's grace."

Just as the two continued to speak.

A crimson light descended from the sky.

"Greetings, Holy Lord!"

The half-demon boy and the old man with green scales knelt down and bowed at the same time.

As the light faded, a handsome figure dressed in a simple white robe and with a gentle demeanor appeared.

"No need for such formalities!"

He Yang turned and smiled at the blue-winged half-demon boy in front of him: "Have you fully mastered the bloodline power that has awakened within you?"

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, Peng'er has recently completed the complete refinement of his own bloodline power!"

The half-demon boy knelt down and bowed.

"Not bad!"

He Yang smiled and nodded.

The half-demon youth before them appeared to have just entered the second stage of Foundation Establishment, but the bloodline he had awakened was extremely rare—the Ancient Wood Yuan Peng Bird, whose potential far surpassed that of ordinary half-demons.

"May I ask if Your Majesty has come with any instructions?"

The old man with green scales standing to the side spoke up respectfully.

"That's right, I was just about to have you gather Mu Peng and the others!"

He Yang then explained his purpose: "These individuals are all the most promising geniuses in the clan, and I intend to arrange for them to enter the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect for cultivation."

"Since you have chosen the path of cultivation, you cannot work in isolation. Only by actively integrating into the cultivation world can you lay a foundation for your future cultivation."

He had also concealed his identity back then, cultivating step by step from an ordinary disciple of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect, so he naturally understood the mysteries involved.

Although the competition within the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect is fierce and brutal, that is precisely the essence of the path of cultivation.

"Yes, sir!"

The old man with green scales quickly bowed and said.

"I hope you will cultivate diligently within the Thousand Waters Spirit Control Sect, condense your Golden Core as soon as possible, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving our half-demon race in the future."

After giving a few brief instructions, He Yang transformed into a streak of crimson light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the heavens and earth.

"I'll go and check on the current situation of the market!"

He Yang left the half-demon clan's territory and continued speeding towards the depths of the sea. After a while, several beautiful islands came into view, with a large number of streaks of light passing through them.

That was the market town he ordered the half-demon cultivators to build, and it was also the window through which the half-demon race integrated into the cultivation world.

Although the Bianyu Sea is under the control of the half-demon clan, the entire half-demon clan is still weak and it is impossible for them to control this vast sea area on their own. Therefore, they only occupy the core spiritual land, while the rest of the sea area is handed over to the other top Nascent Soul forces for management.

Under the management of those top Nascent Soul forces, the cultivation world in the Bianyu Sea has gradually become prosperous.

Heyang arrived above the market and looked down.

However, all that could be seen within the Divine Beauty Market Island were numerous figures of half-demons moving about. Some of them wore the robes of alchemists, others wore the robes of spiritual plant cultivators, and so on. They each had their own identities within the market, and some shops were even built by the half-demons themselves. At the entrances of some shops, there were also many half-demons personally soliciting customers.

Meanwhile, the numerous cultivators coming and going had long been accustomed to the situation on the island and paid no attention to the strangely shaped half-demons.

"Although the strength of the half-demon race has not yet made a leap forward, it has begun to develop along the right path, and one day it will regain its former glory!"

A hint of confidence flashed in He Yang's eyes.

Since the half-demon race migrated to the Bianyu Sea, it has been like a fish leaping out of the ocean, and everything has undergone fundamental changes.

More and more geniuses began to emerge within the clan, and the number of young clansmen who awakened extraordinary bloodlines, such as Mu Peng, continued to increase. As time went by, these geniuses would gradually become the foundation for the rise of the half-demon clan.

"I don't know if it's because of my auspicious beast bloodline, but in the last ten years or so, the bloodline inheritance awakened by my clansmen has become more and more remarkable."

Although such mysterious fortune could not be verified, the speed at which the half-demon race was recovering was even beyond his expectations.

"Master once said that auspicious beasts are born blessed by heaven and earth, and are naturally endowed with good fortune."

Just then, He Yang suddenly looked down at a corner of the island.

But deep within that spiritual vein, a half-demon who had entered the Foundation Establishment realm was also awakening new bloodline power.
