Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1564 Choice, Mutation

Haoming Sea Area.

The Qingtian Sect, which once held sway over the central core of the world, has now been transformed into an ancient, primordial sea.

The vast and wondrous spiritual islands are no longer the exclusive domain of cultivators, but have become paradises for countless mortals. The once magnificent palace complexes have disappeared, replaced by countless simple and rustic courtyards. Furthermore, countless villages have taken root along the endless spiritual veins. These mortals, who were originally at the lowest level of the world, now enjoy blessed lands far beyond what ordinary cultivators can possess.

This sea and land have long since returned to their original state, and the traces of cultivators are gradually disappearing. One by one, the witch tribes have become the new guardians of this world.

A corner of the sea.

At the center of a massive spirit island, beneath a towering statue of a young figure in black robes.

Led by an elderly sorcerer in black robes, countless children knelt and bowed before the young statue in black robes.

"The Black Witch Clan - Scale Origin Tribe is embarking on a new era of seeking enlightenment, and we humbly request the High Priest's favor."

The old man in the black robe kept reciting ancient and complicated prayers.

The next moment, the black-robed young statue, as tall as a mountain, slowly lit up, and a large swath of black light shone down, enveloping the countless kneeling children.

"The way of heaven and earth begins with water; water gathers to form scales, protecting heaven and earth."

The next moment, the old man in black robes began to explain the Wu clan heritage of the Lin Yuan tribe, helping countless children below to awaken their Wu clan talents.

The old man's deep voice was like the sound of heaven and earth, quickly bringing the countless children, who originally had different expressions, into the right state of mind.

Many of the children began to sit cross-legged, trying to sense the power of the water system between heaven and earth.

Under the shadow of the black-robed young sculpture, many children quickly sensed the power of the water element in the world.

But all that could be seen was a large amount of weak water-based spiritual energy condensing into black scale-like phantoms around the children.

"Although the Lin Yuan tribe has only been established for a short time, I believe that one day it will become the most powerful shield under the High Priest!"

As he watched more and more children below sense the power of water, the old man in black robes revealed a kind smile.

He was ordered by the high priest to establish the Lin Yuan tribe here using the ancient Lin Yuan witch clan tradition, with the aim of carrying forward and promoting this ancient witch clan tradition.

Moreover, although the Lin Yuan tribe is weak now, it does occupy an entire core spirit island, which shows how much the high priest values ​​this witch clan heritage.

"I must not disappoint the High Priest's expectations and will dedicate my life to the entire Blacklight Witch Clan."

"If it weren't for the High Priest, how could we occupy such a central spiritual realm?"

Since migrating to the Haoming Sea, they now have a new identity - the Black Ming Witch Clan.

The high priest dispersed the original witch tribes and bestowed upon them numerous witch inheritances, allowing them to branch out and expand the newly formed Blacklight Witch Clan as much as possible.

"That child was born with a powerful soul, and has a real chance to switch to the path of sacrificial cultivation!"

The old man in black robes suddenly looked into the distance with a look of surprise.

Among the many children, a gaunt boy was surrounded by surging black currents.

Above the azure sea.

Three enormous spiritual islands sit within, radiating a vast and profound aura of heaven and earth.

This place is the core of the entire Haoming Sea, possessing a fourth-grade superior Cangmang spiritual vein that suppresses heaven and earth. Now it also has a new name - Black Bright Island.

Looking down, one could only see the central sea area surrounded by three enormous spirit islands.

A vast expanse of dark light suddenly shot into the sky, illuminating heaven and earth. In an instant, a pure and empty dark domain was formed, swallowing up all the surrounding light.

Within the realm of darkness.

A mysterious figure floated within, with wisps of even deeper, dark light flowing around it, emanating an ancient, dark aura.

The next moment, strands of dark light converged in one place, transforming into a dark area no bigger than the palm of a hand, from which endless mysterious patterns emerged, and an ancient Daoist charm flowed out.

What appears to be a small, dark place is actually a vast, endless abyss of darkness, devouring everything.

"I never expected to sense the aura of advancement!"

In an instant, the surrounding darkness seemed to melt away and vanished.

Light returned to the world, leaving only a young figure in black robes standing silently between heaven and earth, emanating a deep, dark aura.

Guan Ming slowly opened his eyes, and his dark pupils, which had been like the depths of an abyss, regained their clarity.

"I never expected that the opportunity I had at the Dao Crossroads last time would help me to deepen my understanding of the Dark Witch Clan's Dao in such a short time, and even sense the opportunity for a breakthrough ahead of time!"

Faced with the promotion opportunity that was within reach, Guan Ming did not show much surprise, but instead a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Since obtaining the Dark Ancestral Mark left behind by that ancient Dark Witch Clan powerhouse, thanks to his extraordinary comprehension, he has been able to progress smoothly on his path of cultivating the Dark Witch Path, encountering almost no obstacles. Now, he has even directly sensed an opportunity for advancement.

If he so chooses, it won't be long before he can directly advance to the late stage of the fourth tier and become a powerful expert in the eyes of the outside world.

Strangely, as his promotion was imminent, he felt a strange sense of emptiness, as if he would lose something once he was promoted.

It's a kind of innate spiritual awareness.

What exactly is the reason?

Guan Ming pondered repeatedly in his mind, and his calm heart began to stir.

At that very moment.

A black torrent suddenly erupted from the depths of the distant island, shooting into the sky.

The layers of restrictive spiritual clouds on the outside were quickly annihilated, and then, under his gaze, the black torrent transformed into a sky full of black clouds, eroding the heavens and earth.

"Elder Zhan Yuan is about to advance to the fourth rank!"

Gazing at the black clouds that kept erupting in the distance, Guan Ming felt a strange unease.

"Could it be that my deepest hesitation is related to it?!"

The next moment, Guan Ming transformed into a black afterimage and instantly appeared above the distant spirit island.

Looking down, a middle-aged man dressed in a black Taoist robe was sitting cross-legged atop the spiritual peak.

Above its head, the phantom of a giant black cauldron gradually took shape.

He was naturally familiar with this scene, as the witchcraft he practiced was the sacrificial way of the Yu Ding tribe.

After relocating to the Haoming Sea area.

He used the numerous Dark Witch Clan inheritances left behind by that ancient Dark Witch Clan powerhouse, along with many Witch Clan inheritances he obtained from Fellow Daoist Huang Lun of the Sea Palace, to create a new Witch Clan—the Black Bright Witch Clan—and thus became the High Priest of the entire Witch Clan.

However, most of the high-level combat power within the Black Witch Clan comes from those who once cultivated the Yu Ding Tribe's legacy.

After all, those who cultivated the Yu Ding tribe's heritage back then have long since grown up, such as Elder Zhan Yuan below.

Guan Ming's gaze was fixed intently on the promotions below.

"But the legacy of the Yu Ding tribe shouldn't be a factor influencing me. Compared to the legacy left by that ancient dark witch clan powerhouse, the Yu Ding tribe's legacy is clearly several levels lower."

This is also why he chose to switch to the path of the Dark Witch Clan back then. Not to mention that the ancient Dark Witch Clan powerhouse left behind Dark Ancestral Runes of unimaginable value.

"What exactly is the reason?"

Just as he was deep in thought.

Elder Zhan Yuan below, however, had already begun the crucial moment of his advancement.

Deep within the vast, dark clouds, black droplets gradually took shape, each droplet nurturing countless curse-corrupting runes. Bang! Bang! Countless black droplets suddenly scattered, and the dark water-based curse runes instantly interconnected.

The vast water-based spiritual energy flowing between heaven and earth began to converge wildly towards Elder Zhan Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged.

A powerful fourth-order pressure erupted simultaneously.

At this moment, Guan Ming seemed to sense something, and stretched out his palm deeply, quietly feeling the vast water-based spiritual power flowing through his palm.

"Water system!"

The next moment, Guan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

His sense of emptiness did not stem solely from the legacy of the Yu Ding tribe that he had abandoned, but from another way of the water-based witchcraft.

In an instant, my previously complicated thoughts became incredibly clear.

"The Water-based Witch Clan's Way is the most suitable starting point for my cultivation path!"

"Back then, I chose to switch to the path of the Dark Witch Clan because the Dark Witch Clan's inheritance was more complete and powerful, and because of that ancient dark ancestral rune. However, although my cultivation has been smooth sailing, I have lost the path that was most compatible with me in the first place."

"Even if I choose to cultivate along the complete lineage left behind by that ancient Dark Witch Clan powerhouse, I am ultimately walking on his path. All my insights into the Dark Witch Clan's way come from what he left behind, not from my own understanding."

Guan Ming instantly felt clear-headed and his mind became bright, and the emptiness in his heart was filled.

This instinctive change in perception also confirmed his idea.

"The path of the Witch Clan differs from that of the Immortal Cultivators, and it is common for them to cultivate multiple Witch Clan paths simultaneously!"

"I have absolutely no need to completely abandon the path of water-based witchcraft. Besides, the legacy of the Yu Ding tribe is somewhat related to the path of the Dark Witch Clan."

Guan Ming's gaze hardened.

He already had the answer in his heart.

He gave up his current promotion opportunity and picked up the water-based witch path he had abandoned, thus integrating the two witch paths and embarking on a witch path that was more in line with his own.

Only in this way can one achieve a more perfect state and advance to the late stage of the fourth tier, and eventually reach the great perfection of the fourth tier.

"There's no need to rush. Even if I were to reach the late stage of the fourth tier first, it wouldn't make much difference. With my master overseeing this world now, there's no need for my power at all!"

"Only by following the path of the witch clan that suits oneself can one unleash one's power in the future."

At that very moment.

Elder Zhan Yuan, who had already completed his promotion, quickly soared into the sky.

"Greetings, High Priest"
-
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as the cultivation world was developing rapidly in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea, a new upheaval was beginning to occur in the vast depths of the southernmost part of the Southern Moon Sea.

A corner of the southern sea.

On the vast sea.

A fleet of massive spirit ships sailed into the depths of the sea.

On the leading, imposing black spirit ship.

"Elder Qin Yuan, we have already entered the territory of the Zi Fu Sect!"

A young cultivator in blue robes stepped forward and bowed respectfully to an elderly man in black robes.

"Nephew Mu Fang, did you gain anything from accompanying me on this trip?"

Looking at the genius disciple from the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect before him, Elder Qin Yuan smiled faintly.

"Reporting to the Elder, Mu Fang has gained a great deal from this trip!"

Mu Fang said respectfully, "Participating in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce has allowed me to appreciate the vastness of this world, and I am no longer as narrow-minded as I was back then!"

"Indeed, you are different from others after all. Participating in the Chamber of Commerce is just a training experience for you!"

Elder Qin Yuan chuckled and said, "After this trip, you should return to the sect to consider the subsequent matters of Nascent Soul formation."

Although the other party is only at the peak of the late Golden Core stage, he is not only the newly emerging prodigy within the Thousand Water Spirit Control Sect, but also comes from the Mu family. Once he successfully forms his Nascent Soul, his future status is self-evident.

That's why he, as an elder of the Qin family, had this attitude.

Over the years, many disciples and elders of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect have begun to participate deeply in the affairs of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect are now closely connected, almost like a single entity.

Of course, this is exactly what the three major families wanted to see.

Only in this way can the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce truly be bound to that person.

As time goes by.

A dazzling purple world appeared at the edge of the sea, with a vast purple sea of ​​clouds floating within it.

"Forget it, let's not go inside the Purple Support Sect and just complete the transaction on the outside!"

As if he had thought of something, a hint of apprehension flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes.

Looking into the distance, one can even clearly feel the intense spatial fluctuations emanating from the depths of that purple expanse.

This is precisely the important reason why Zifu Sect took the initiative to seek help from Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

A moment later, streaks of purple rainbows, seemingly in a hurry, rapidly descended.

"Elder Qin Yuan, have all the special ancient Yuan Stones for sealing the space been prepared?"

The purple-robed elder at the head of the group didn't even have time for pleasantries, his face showing urgency.

"On the spirit boat behind us are the ancient Yuan Stones that your sect needs. With the help of the power of that great formation, it should be able to help your sect suppress that space that is rapidly shattering."

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A series of purple storage bags rapidly descended towards Qin Yuan, followed by several Nascent Soul elders from the Zi Fu Sect rushing towards the spirit boats carrying the ancient Yuan Stones.

"I'm sorry to trouble Elder Qin Yuan to come in person, but given the current special circumstances, I will not invite you all to be my guests!"

The next moment, several Nascent Soul elders of the Purple Support Sect unleashed their power simultaneously, and the vast purple clouds instantly lifted the enormous spirit boats, which then sped towards the distant purple sea of ​​clouds.

"It seems that the crisis facing the Zi Fu Sect is getting more and more serious!"

A look of seriousness appeared in Qin Yuan's eyes.

If it weren't for an emergency, Zi Fuzong wouldn't have acted this way, completing the transaction so quickly without even a simple greeting.

However, just as the Zi Fu Sect group was hurrying back to their sect.

Rumble!!!
But then, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the purple sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and then a large area of ​​space shattered.
