Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1570 Departure
On the vast and boundless azure sea.

A crimson phantom streaked across the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"Master, please change my name. I am a descendant of a sacred beast; how can I use the name of a sparrow?"

"If word gets out, wouldn't it make us a laughingstock and damage our master's reputation!"

Why doesn't the master speak?

"."

The Sky Sparrow seems to have fully adapted to its current role as a mount.

In contrast, Li Qing now feels rather uncomfortable.

He had always preferred tranquility, and never expected to take in a talkative descendant of a sacred beast as his mount.

The Sky Sparrow chattered incessantly throughout the journey.

"Change it!"

Li Qing shook his head helplessly.

"Thank you for your permission, Master!"

"The name 'Splitter of the Nine Heavens' is my own creation. Only such a name can be worthy of my noble sacred beast bloodline. In the future, I will surely tear apart the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and become the strongest of the Splitter Sky Sparrow clan."

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow said happily, "Master, please call me Palace Master Sky-Splitter or Nine Heavens Demon Lord from now on."

"Nine Heavens Demon Lord?"

"Oh, Jiutian is fine. Master, you can just call me Jiutian."

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow's soul trembled slightly involuntarily, and it hurriedly spoke.

It sensed that if it continued, the soul imprint would likely be activated again.

"Alright, now that the name has been changed, let's be quiet!"

"Yes, Master, rest assured, Jiutian will certainly not disturb your cultivation any further."

Li Qing sat cross-legged atop the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Although the crisis in the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea has been resolved, he still chose to hide his tracks and once again used the ancient teleportation array of the Dream Cloud Sect to leave.

"It's time to plan ahead for our trip to the Xuan Nan Continent!"

Even if Baili Luo didn't contact him, Li Qing intended to visit the Baili family in the Xuan Nan Continent after completing his advancement.

The purpose, of course, is to find the next trace of innate spiritual water.

With the Dao of Water Weight nearing completion and having broken through to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, his next focus of cultivation will be on the Dao of Water Purification.

This also means that the opening of the third Wheel Sea must be put on the agenda.

The arduous path he was to take involved perfecting all the branches of the water-based Dao corresponding to the three major cycles of the Dao, plus the Dao of the Water Abyss, which he had mastered first. He aimed to reach the four perfected realms and break through to become a Great Cultivator, thereby laying the most profound foundation for his Dao.

Just as Elder Shuiwa once said, he should take advantage of this prison of heaven and earth to accumulate as much foundation as possible. Only in this way can he still be qualified to pursue the path of immortality after entering the true spirit world.

"There are three major challenges in breaking through to the Great Cultivator realm: favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships."

"As the heavens and earth continue to unblock, the opportunities for advancement through favorable terrain will become increasingly easier to obtain!"

"As for human resources, I have already broken through to the Great Cultivator realm from the fourth level of the Dao realm. Looking across the entire world, I'm afraid it's difficult to find a second person like me. The only thing left is the possessions of the Dao."

The next moment, Li Qing frowned slightly, and then gently shook his head.

While innate spiritual water can certainly serve as a vessel for the Dao, it still lacks one more element – ​​the vessel corresponding to the Dao of the Water Abyss.

"In order to perfect the Dao Foundation, we must find a fifth-order spiritual object of heaven and earth that is most compatible with the Dao of the Water Abyss!"

"This is no simple matter either. Fifth-order spiritual objects are already extremely rare, let alone those that are compatible with the Dao of the Water Abyss."

Normally, any fifth-order spiritual object of the same attribute can be used as a vessel for the Dao. However, if the power of the Great Dao contained within it is different from the perfected Dao cultivated by the cultivator, it will firstly affect the difficulty of breaking through to the Great Cultivator realm, and secondly, even if the cultivator is lucky enough to succeed in advancing, it will affect the strength of the cultivator.

In the past, the difference in strength was not important, because great cultivators could not openly appear between heaven and earth.

But things are different now. As the world continues to unseal, those hidden great cultivators will gradually step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight. The battle between great cultivators will eventually take place.

"Primordial spiritual water, a fifth-order celestial artifact of the Water Abyss Dao!"

These two goals will also become the main direction of his future actions.

"Let's see if we can find any relevant information through the Baili family's connections."

At that very moment.

A cautious voice rang out again: "Master, what brings you to the Dream Cloud Sect?"

"Leave this sea and land, and enter the Xuan Nan Continent!"

"Master, are you going to enter that other vast continent?" The Sky-Splitter's voice was filled with excitement.

"I've heard that the Nine Heavens are a much more interesting place, far from being just a vast ocean like here."

"Then what is the master's purpose in going there?"

"."

Why doesn't the master speak?

"."

Amidst the Sky-Splitting Sparrow's incessant monologue, the human and the demon finally arrived at the Dream Cloud Sect's headquarters.

Deep within the vast, dreamlike, and ethereal clouds and mist.

Two figures slowly appeared.

The person in the lead was none other than the Grand Elder of the Dream Cloud Sect, Guanmeng.

Beside him stood Elder Cangmeng of the Mengyun Sect.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Qing!"

Elder Guanmeng held a black snake-head cane, a smile appearing on his withered and aged face.

"I have disturbed the Elder's cultivation again. I am truly ashamed!"

Li Qing smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "But unfortunately there are still some things to deal with on the Xuan Nan Continent, so we can only continue to borrow your sect's ancient teleportation array."

Before Elder Guanmeng and Elder Guanmeng could even exchange pleasantries...

An untimely voice rang out at the same time: "This old man doesn't have much time left!"

Only then did Elder Guanmeng notice that this fellow Daoist Qing had a small, red bird perched on his shoulder, its pair of large, sharp claws quite striking.

"Shut up!"

Li Qing let out a cold shout, and the soul imprint was activated once again.

The Sky-Splitter was struck as if by lightning, and instantly plummeted straight down.

"It's actually a powerful demon beast at the late stage of the fourth tier!"

Elder Cangmeng, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although he had seen the other party just now, he couldn't determine the strength of the crimson bird because of the aura surrounding the Azure Profound True Monarch. He never expected that it was actually a powerful demon king.

"Elder, please forgive me. This demon has only recently submitted to me and is still ignorant of etiquette. It is my fault for failing to teach him properly!"

Li Qing took the initiative to cup his hands in greeting.

"hehe!"

Elder Guanmeng smiled and waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Qing, there's no need for that. What this demon clan fellow said is just the truth."

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan and this fellow Daoist from the demon race, please!" "I, Rift Nine Heavens!"

After recovering from the severe blow to his soul, the Sky-Splitter Sparrow did not forget to introduce himself.

Finally, it encountered an outsider who also called himself "this one." How could it easily miss such an opportunity?

"Fellow Daoist Lie Jiutian, please!"

Elder Guanmeng smiled warmly: "By the way, I also want to congratulate Fellow Daoist Qing on gaining another powerful ally!"

“This demon possesses the bloodline of a sacred beast, and its strength is quite considerable!” Li Qing frankly admitted.

Looking outwards, among the many Nascent Soul peak forces, the Dream Cloud Sect has the closest relationship with him now, so he will naturally take the initiative to show some goodwill.

"Oh!"

The old elder Guanmeng gazed once more intently at the seemingly small red bird.

The fact that this fellow Daoist Qingxuan took the initiative to say "not bad" is enough to show that this demon king's strength is extraordinary.

After a while.

The group once again arrived at the ancient teleportation array deep within the forbidden area of ​​the Dream Cloud Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Qing and Fellow Daoist Lie Jiutian, please. I wish Fellow Daoist Qing a successful journey and a speedy advancement."

After a few brief pleasantries, Elder Guanmeng lightly tapped his cane in all directions.

All the hidden nodes of the ancient teleportation array were activated simultaneously.

A vast torrent of spatial power surged forth, instantly piercing through the heavens and earth. A figure in azure flashed through the spatial passage.

"Elder, you mean?"

Seeing that figure leave again, Elder Cangmeng turned his head to look at the side with a shocked expression.

"Although my lifespan is coming to an end, my cultivation has not yet dissipated. Have you forgotten the path I have cultivated?"

Elder Guanmeng smiled and shook his head: "If my senses are not mistaken, that person is probably already approaching the peak of the late stage."

"If his actions have led to some extraordinary opportunity in the Xuan Nan Continent, he might become a true late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator when we meet again in the future!"

"Peak late-stage Nascent Soul?"

Elder Cangmeng couldn't help but speak up: "But it is said that this person has only been in the late Nascent Soul stage for a little over two hundred years!"

"How is this possible? Over two hundred years, he endured the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth to cultivate another Great Dao to perfection?"

"What's impossible? Have you forgotten that battle back then?"

"In that battle back then, perhaps this person should have already reached that level; time is meaningless to him."

"."

"If it weren't for the difficulty of returning after leaving, I would really like to go to that realm and inquire about this person's reputation there. Before he left, he had only recently entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but when he returned, he had already established a reputation that was almost invincible in the world. He fought against four opponents and even killed a terrifying ghost spirit at the peak of the late stage of the fourth rank."

"It's likely that a similarly earth-shattering event occurred in that very place."

"."
-
Dongxing Xuanhai.

In the vast sea area where the Northern Regions and the Western Regions meet.

A massive circular island sits atop the azure sea, while various magical lights rise and fall in the sky.

These forces originally belonged to a powerful Nascent Soul sect, but were later secretly ordered to be destroyed by the Demon Devouring Sect, and have now fallen into the hands of the Demon Realm.

Since ten years ago, the demonic forces, which were originally content in the Northern Region, have begun to invade the Western Region in an endless stream.

Today, the outer sea area of ​​the Western Regions, bordering the Northern Demon Realm, has been transformed into a paradise for demonic cultivators, with the original sects and families of the cultivation world either dead or having fled.
In the central area of ​​the island, a magnificent and imposing five-story demon palace sits.

The stone tablet standing in front of the Demon Palace is clearly engraved with the two characters "Xuan Shi".

Looking across the entire island, this demonic palace is the most bustling, with all sorts of demonic cultivators coming and going in an endless stream.

Since slaying the Blood Beast Island patriarch and publicly suppressing the two leaders of the Demon Food Sect, the Xuan Shi Demon Lord's reputation has already resounded throughout the vast northern demon realm.

at the same time.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce also experienced explosive expansion, with various powerful figures from the demonic path joining its Hall of Worship.

In just over a decade, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce has become the most prestigious chamber of commerce in the entire Northern Demon Realm, and has quickly taken root in every corner of the Northern Demon Realm. It can be said that wherever demon cultivators gather, there is a stronghold of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

This is also why Li Xuan didn't care about the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's own strength improvement; as long as he was there, no one would dare to attack the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

All he wanted was for the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce to integrate into the entire demonic path camp, thereby providing him with information to control the trend of demonic revival.

The fourth floor of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's Demon Palace.

"May I ask if you, sir, wish to purchase any demonic treasures?"

As a figure in a grey robe entered discreetly, the Golden Core steward of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, who had been waiting quietly, quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"I don't need to purchase treasures; I want to gather some information!"

"Rest assured, sir. Our Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce also specializes in selling information. What kind of information do you wish to obtain?"

"Have you seen any recent movements from the major demonic sects, such as targeting a certain sect in the Western Regions?"

"Yes, sir, please come with me."

In a secluded compartment nearby, the gray-robed figure quickly obtained the information he wanted and then left the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's stronghold.

at the same time.

The Golden Core steward beside him quickly headed towards the fifth floor.

"Greetings, Elder! The mysterious person who used to buy information from our Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce on multiple occasions has reappeared!"

"Oh!"

The old man, who also possessed the Golden Core cultivation level, revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "What kind of information did he purchase?"

"It's news about the Black Jade Demon Sect and others secretly planning a sneak attack on a sect in the Western Regions!"

"Alright, I understand. You may leave now. Remember, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone!"

After dismissing the Golden Core cultivator, the old man, who was in charge of this stronghold, looked excited: "I never thought my chance to make a contribution would come!"

"The vice president personally ordered a secret investigation into this person's identity and background, clearly indicating that he values ​​him highly."

the other side.

After leaving the Xuan Shi Merchant Guild's stronghold, the gray-robed cultivator quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared.

The outer perimeter of the island.

A gray phantom moved through the sky, and although there were many demonic cultivators below, none of them could detect its presence.

"Indeed, the land of demonic cultivators is still the most suitable place for my cultivation!"

A smile couldn't help but appear on Zang Quan's usually expressionless face. In the years he had been in the Demon Realm, he had indeed gained a great deal.

Here, he can collect a continuous stream of death power without lifting a finger.

Moreover, the Northern Demon Realm is currently experiencing unrest, and it is about to take action against the entire Western Regions cultivation world. During this period, fierce battles are occurring almost constantly, all of which involve fresh and promising forces.

"Fool, listen to me. Your individual strength is ultimately limited. Why not secretly establish a demonic sect and have it stationed on various battlefields to collect the power of death it generates?"
-
Northern Demon Realm, Headquarters of the Xuan Shi Merchant Guild.

Inside a black demonic palace, Heishan Yunqi held a token, deep in thought: "The person who bought the information must be a hidden powerhouse. Every time he takes the information, strange things happen at the scene!"

"It's not too late to investigate this matter thoroughly before reporting it to the chairman."

The next moment, Heishan Yunqi quickly passed through the offering hall, summoned two mid-Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators, and ordered them to immediately go to the location with the latest news to secretly investigate the situation.
