Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1586 Cooperation
Deep in the rolling mountains.

A streak of multicolored light streaked across the sky, eventually falling towards the summit of a colossal, towering peak below.

As the light faded, an old man with a pale face, wearing a five-colored Taoist robe, slowly appeared.

At this moment, he did not rush to sit down and meditate to recover from his injuries. Instead, he stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something.

"Who exactly intervened in the shadows to help me escape?"

Thinking back to the critical moment on the battlefield, Wuxia Patriarch felt a lingering fear.

If it weren't for the secret assistance of that mysterious expert, he might have truly faced the danger of death, and even if he had managed to escape, he would have been severely injured.

"Those terrifying blue spears were able to pierce through the Earth-Subduing Heaven-Melting Shield head-on, demonstrating their terrifying power. Moreover, that being never revealed its form from beginning to end shows that its strength is unfathomable."

The Five-Colored Ancestor became increasingly confused.

There were no Nascent Soul stage experts in the Water Path among the Ten Great Holy Sects, but apart from the Ten Great Holy Sects Alliance, he really couldn't think of anyone who would risk offending the Yellow Dragon Kingdom to help him escape.

"Could it be a powerful reinforcement that a fellow cultivator has invited from outside?"

"That's somewhat possible. After all, the combined strength of our ten major sects is still insufficient to take action against the Huang clan."

While he was secretly speculating.

But then a faint blue light appeared in the previously empty sky, and a young figure in a green robe appeared and slowly descended.

"Congratulations on your escape, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wuxia instantly understood the identity of the newcomer and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

"Even if I don't make a move, I'm afraid the two of them will have a hard time stopping you!"

Li Qing smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me," said Ancestor Wuxia with a wry smile. "The power of that Earthly Furong Heavenly Cover is immense. Even if there were a chance to escape, I would probably be seriously injured. Without your help, it would be impossible to leave unscathed!"

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

"Daoist name - Qingxuan!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Five Clouds Ancestor.

Not only is there no such name in Huanglong Kingdom, but even in the entire Nanming Domain, it seems that no one has ever heard of the origin of this mysterious powerhouse.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, are you reinforcements invited by one of our Ten Great Holy Sects?"

"Reinforcements?"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "Not at all. I just happened to be passing through Huanglong Kingdom and saw that you were trapped, so I secretly helped you."

The Five Clouds Elder was initially surprised, but then quickly spoke up, saying, "No matter what, fellow Daoist has saved my life!"

"I am the patriarch of the Five Clouds Sect, one of the ten great sects of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom. I wonder what our Five Clouds Sect can do for you, fellow Daoist?"

"As long as you ask, I will do my best to fulfill your request!"

At this moment, he understood that this mysterious expert would not have helped him escape for no reason; there must be another reason.

"Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony with you, fellow Daoist!"

Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "Having just arrived in your esteemed land, I am quite interested in the Yellow Dragon Kingdom, and therefore would like to learn some secrets of this world from you, fellow Daoist."

"I've heard that the ruler of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom possesses an extraordinary lineage and is further blessed by the Dao of Destiny."

Upon hearing this, the Five Clouds Ancestor felt at ease.

It was a great thing that the other party could state their purpose so frankly, saving him from worrying about whether this mysterious expert had other schemes.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I will tell you everything I know about the Yellow Dragon Kingdom!"

The next moment, the Five Clouds Ancestor quickly imprinted the many hidden information in his mind onto a jade slip, and then handed the jade slip to Li Qing.

"The Spirit of the Yellow Dragon!"

After examining the jade slip, Li Qing finally found the information that interested him.

According to the information recorded in the jade slip, there is also a special Yellow Dragon Spirit within the Huang clan, possessing terrifying and extraordinary power.

"No wonder the Yellow Dragon Kingdom enjoys such a prestigious reputation throughout the entire Southern Ming Domain. That Yellow Dragon Spirit is equivalent to the peak late-stage combat power. Coupled with the formidable strength of the king himself and the numerous hidden resources of the Huang clan, the entire royal palace is as solid as a rock."

Just then, Ancestor Wuxia continued, "The information I gave you, fellow Daoist, has been accurately verified!"

"However, based on our investigation and deduction of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom by the Ten Great Holy Sects, that Yellow Dragon Spirit not only possesses strength comparable to the late-stage peak level, but is also equivalent to a spirit of destiny. It was formed by the Huang Clan through their control of this world, seizing the destiny nurtured by this world."

The Five Clouds Ancestor continued in a deep voice, "The spirit of the Yellow Dragon is also equivalent to a symbol of the Huang clan's destiny!"

"The fact that the Huang family has produced many talented and promising members over the years is probably related to the blessing of the spirit of the Yellow Dragon."

Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

The claim that the royal palace of the Huang family was impregnable was only true to outsiders; it held no special significance for him.

To be honest, the mysterious tradition of the Way of Destiny still held some appeal for him.

For him, any opportunity to improve his own qualities will be his goal.

As for the potential consequences, he wouldn't care at all.

With his current strength, he no longer needs to be bound by external rules.

Moreover, this place is the Xuannan Continent, not his old lair.

"May I ask if you are interested in the hidden inheritance of fortune within the Huang family lineage?"

A profound meaning appeared in the eyes of the Five Clouds Ancestor.

He had personally witnessed the methods of this mysterious expert before him; his strength was unfathomable and far beyond what ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators could match.

The fact that they were able to remain hidden despite using such a powerful technique that directly pierced through the Earth-Subduing Heaven-Melting Barrier proves everything.

"If we can really win this person over and have them join forces with our Ten Great Holy Sects to deal with the Huang Clan, it will at least increase our chances of success!"

Thinking of this, the Five Clouds Ancestor felt a surge of excitement.

"What, could it be that you, fellow Daoist, also possess such abilities?"

Li Qing smiled faintly.

In fact, when the other party spoke, he had already vaguely guessed their purpose.

As expected, the next moment, the Five Clouds Ancestor said in a deep voice: "To be honest, our Ten Great Holy Sects are planning to unite with all parties to resist the Huang Clan!"

"Over the years, the Huang clan has slaughtered countless sects and forces to satisfy their own selfish interests, committing endless atrocities. Now that Huang Qian is approaching the end of his lifespan and his strength is weakening, we will naturally not let go of this opportunity to resist!"

"His lifespan is coming to an end?" Li Qing looked surprised.

"Not bad!"

Ancestor Wuxia nodded solemnly: "Huang Qian has begun to enter a period of decline in strength, and even that Yellow Dragon Spirit has weakened along with him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"If you are willing to join our camp, after we destroy the Huang family lineage, you may read their legacy at will."

"But as far as I know, none of the Ten Great Holy Sects you belong to have any experts at the late-stage peak level. So how are you going to deal with that terrifying Yellow Dragon Spirit?"

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist. Since we have decided to go all out, we must have made full preparations!" Ancestor Wuxia revealed a hint of confidence in his eyes: "Not to mention that the spirit of the Yellow Dragon is also weakening as Huang Qian's lifespan comes to an end, even if it has its full combat power, it is ultimately just an inanimate object!"

"Our Ten Great Holy Sects also have a long and ancient lineage, and we have our own methods for dealing with this."

"So when do you plan to take action?"

A profound meaning flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

If he could hide behind the scenes and use the power of the Ten Great Holy Sects to destroy the Huang Clan, it would be a great thing for him. He wouldn't have to expose himself, and he could also obtain the Huang Clan's hidden fortune inheritance.

"To be honest, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for very long!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Clouds Ancestor was overjoyed.

This is practically equivalent to stating one's position.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, all ten of our Holy Sects have already secretly relocated their sect headquarters. Soon we will unite with various forces to launch a counterattack against the Yellow Dragon Kingdom. It certainly won't be long."

To gain Li Qing's trust, the Five Clouds Ancestor quickly added, "The reason I was willing to expose myself to help the Painting Heaven Sect escape was precisely to gather forces from all sides!"

"With your participation, we will have the confidence to launch a counterattack even faster."

Deep within the vast and endless mountain range.

A vast, boundless plain lies nestled within, gathering the power of the boundless heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the center of the plain is firmly occupied by another magnificent and ancient palace complex, which acts like a pillar of stability, suppressing the surrounding world.

"That is the capital of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom!"

On the outskirts of the plain, a blue phantom slowly appeared; it was Li Qing, who had traveled all the way here.

Although he eventually agreed to the cooperation request from the Five Clouds Ancestor, he did not leave with him. Instead, he chose to come to this royal capital alone, intending to first learn about the mysterious Yellow Dragon Kingdom's ruler.

Moreover, even if the ten great sects launch a counterattack, they will eventually gather in this world.

"It really is just like the capital of a real mortal country, only magnified countless times!"

The next moment, Li Qing's heart stirred slightly, and his own torrent of magical power instantly returned to the depths of his dantian, where it was sealed layer by layer, revealing only a few traces of the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A cyan token hung at his waist.

Any cultivator from the Yellow Dragon Kingdom who wishes to freely cultivate in this world must proactively register at the Yellow Court and obtain an identity token.

This was the disguise he had prepared in advance.

A moment later, a steady, azure streak of light approached the capital of the Yellow Dragon Kingdom. During this time, more and more streaks of light appeared around it, including some figures of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The royal city not only gathers the strongest forces in the entire Yellow Dragon Kingdom, but is also the most prosperous cultivation and trading center.

Outside the magnificent and imposing city gate.

"Pang Yun, a rogue cultivator from the Thousand Armor Mountains, has come to the capital to seek cultivation materials!"

Li Qing handed his identity token to the leading Golden Core cultivator with yellow armor.

"A rogue cultivator?"

The yellow-armored cultivator gave Li Qing a cold, sharp look.

Within Huanglong Kingdom, all cultivators either belong to Huangting or come from various sects or families; independent cultivators are extremely rare.

But when his powerful divine sense carefully swept over Li Qing and found that he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was relieved.

"Go in."

As the surging crowds around him gathered, Li Qing officially entered the capital city, a place that instilled fear in countless sects and forces within the Yellow Dragon Kingdom.

The entire capital city is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The inner city is accessible only to those within the Yellow Court, while the outer city is a prosperous and sacred place for cultivation open to the public.

However, as soon as he entered the outer city, Li Qing immediately sensed something was amiss.

The seemingly ancient and towering city walls on the outer perimeter acted as a thick seal between heaven and earth, isolating the entire capital from the world and creating a separate world of its own.

Looking up, a vast yellow sea of ​​clouds replaced the original sky, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura that seemed to reign supreme over heaven and earth.

at the same time.

A kind of ethereal and concealed probing power descended automatically from the sky, enveloping Li Qing.

"You do have some skill!"

Li Qing gazed quietly into the depths of the yellow sea of ​​clouds above.

Within that, there seemed to be a special will that looked down upon all living beings and monitored all things, and anyone who entered the capital would be automatically examined by it.

Such detection methods are extremely advanced; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to evade them without special techniques.

The probing power dissipated automatically.

Li Qing followed the flow of people and continued walking deeper into the outer city.

Although the surrounding area was becoming increasingly prosperous, he had long lost interest and had no intention of continuing to visit the various shops to see the rare and precious items.

In contrast, he was even more curious about that inner city area.

In a short while.

The situation in the inner city also came into Li Qing's view.

Looking into the distance, a hazy yellow expanse of sky and earth lies deep within the royal city, with boundless spiritual energy gathering above it, resembling a vast spiritual sea. Four city gates, comparable to mountains, stand on the four sides, serving as the four passages to and from the inner city.

Compared to the chaotic scene outside the city, everyone entering and exiting the four city gates was dressed in armor that symbolized their respective identities.

"Instead of waiting idly for news from the Ten Great Holy Sects, we should investigate first!"

Li Qing's heart stirred slightly. As he took another step and landed, his entire body instantly turned into nothingness and disappeared from the spot.

Strands of spatial power continuously distorted the surrounding space, making him appear as if he were hidden deep within a crack in the heavens and earth, with no trace of his presence remaining.

Just then.

Six figures clad in gold-patterned black armor descended from the sky simultaneously, then swiftly passed through the ancient gray city gate in front.

hum!hum!
The six Nascent Soul commanders of the Zhen Tian Army who had just entered the inner city suddenly changed their expressions slightly.

But then, a huge, earth-yellow round moon appeared in the sky above the inner city, and beams of earth-yellow light burst forth, enveloping the six people.

"what's the situation?"

"How could the Heavenly Observation Realm suddenly erupt?"

One of the leaders, a fierce and tall figure, seemed to remember something. A black jade bracelet on his wrist flashed rapidly, and a bloodied cultivator figure, pierced and sealed by black chains, fell to the ground.

"It seems that the aura emanating from that remnant of the Jia Yun Sect has disturbed the Heavenly Surveillance Realm!"

Just then, the streaks of earthy yellow light that had descended upon the six people instantly dissipated, and the enormous earthy yellow full moon automatically disappeared into the depths of the sky.

"Hurry up and hand this man over to the magistrate immediately. Find out where the Ten Great Holy Sects are hiding."
