Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1596 Travels
North of the Southern Ming territory.

Amidst the boundless mountains and rivers, howling hurricanes surge like a raging tide, obliterating everything.

The mountain range is now completely barren, with large sections of the mountainside exposed and scarred.

Just then, a colossal crimson phantom tore through the heavens and earth, appearing and instantly refining the approaching hurricane with its boundless heat, creating a vast vacuum.

Looking from afar, one could see that a young figure in a green robe was standing atop the head of the crimson demon bird.

"Master should have released me long ago. That great battle would have been the perfect opportunity for me to display my divine power!"

The newly released Sky Sparrows chattered incessantly.

"If I had shown myself sooner, I might have been able to slay even more ancient alien races."

"Can you withstand the combined attack of those three ancient alien races?" Li Qing asked.

Although the strength of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow was close to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, it was still not qualified to participate in that great battle.

Not to mention that behind the Divine Pattern Clan, there are two ancient alien powerhouses at the Great Cultivator level. If they were to forcefully attack, Li Qing alone would still have a way to deal with it, but the Sky-Splitting Sparrow would probably perish on the spot.

"But isn't our master personally overseeing things?" the Sky-Splitter Sparrow said sheepishly. "I can go and hunt down those ordinary ancient alien races!"

"However, it's a pity that Master let that ancient fire-type alien go. If we could have kept it, perhaps I could have devoured and refined it to accelerate my cultivation."

"Even if we keep him, I'm afraid we can't use him to train you!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

Why?

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow's demonic eyes widened instantly: "I am my master's most loyal subordinate, a noble sacred beast with the bloodline of a holy beast. It is in my master's best interest to train me!"

"What if your bloodline fully revives ahead of schedule? Wouldn't I be defeated by you?"

"Defeated by me?"

In an instant, the Sky-Splitter fell silent.

Since the battle in the Ancient Profound Realm, it has realized that it was too hasty in agreeing to the agreement back then.

This master is truly too abnormal. Even if its sacred beast bloodline is fully revived in the future, it is probably no match for it. Even though it prides itself on having a noble sacred beast bloodline, it has long lost confidence.

"What if the master wins in the end?"

"After we win, we'll give you special attention and support!"

The Sky-Splitter was speechless for a moment.

Once its sacred beast bloodline is fully revived, there will be no need for further nurturing; by then, it will be too late.

"Master's vision is too narrow. If I could truly defeat you and regain my freedom, I would still be able to continue serving you. I, Lie Jiutian, have always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and I will definitely repay you for your cultivation."

"Master, rest assured, while I, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, hold grudges, I also remember kindness. Moreover, I possess the bloodline of a sacred beast, with immense potential; this investment is absolutely worthwhile."

"Furthermore, if my master wins and then focuses on training me, it will be too late. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with my master's pace and won't be able to provide any assistance."

"."

Just as the Sky Sparrow was earnestly advising its master to be magnanimous...

call!call!
But all that could be seen were a few blurry streaks of light appearing at the far end of the world.

Seeing this, Li Qing immediately put away the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, and peace and quiet returned to his ears.

"According to the map of the Southern Ming Domain, this place doesn't seem to have anything special about it. How could such an extraordinary hurricane suddenly appear!"

Filled with doubt, Li Qing took the initiative to meet the retreating streaks of light.

the other side.

The several streaks of light that had retreated from the hurricane suddenly stopped and revealed themselves.

"Greetings, senior!"

Upon seeing the figure in green robes suddenly descend from the sky, the group quickly bowed in respect.

What exactly happened here?

Li Qing slowly descended.

"Reporting to Senior, a rift in the heavens and earth has appeared deep within the Dongguan Mountains, which is why this calamity has occurred."

After understanding the cause and effect, Li Qing took the initiative to flee into the depths of the Yan Mian Mountain range.

Since the South Sea Immortal Palace has not yet opened, he is not in a hurry to travel. He can take the opportunity to travel to the Baili family in a leisurely manner.

A moment later.

The root cause behind the hurricane came into view.

But all that could be seen above the vast, collapsed mountain range in the distance were several huge spatial rifts, and a torrent of powerful winds, accompanied by chaotic and violent spatial forces, kept blowing out of the depths of the spatial rifts and into the sky.

Meanwhile, below the rift between heaven and earth, there were still figures of Nascent Soul cultivators emanating immense power, lingering there, unwilling to leave. Clearly, they were willing but powerless, yearning for the extraordinary opportunities hidden behind the spatial rift, yet lacking the strength to enter and explore it.

Seeing this, Li Qing ignored it and instantly transformed into a streak of azure light, rushing into the depths of that spatial rift.

In the vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth).

A colossal crimson phantom pierced the heavens and earth, soaring through the sky.

"Master, was my performance just now satisfactory?"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow spoke excitedly, with a hint of boasting.

"That chaotic spatial barrier posed no threat to me. Although I gained nothing from this trip, it proved that I am absolutely worthy of nurturing the noble Sky-Splitting Sparrow clan. Their pair of Sky-Splitting Giant Claws are naturally able to counter the Dao of Space."

Li Qing sat quietly on the layers of crimson demonic feathers, ignoring them.

Once he opens his mouth, the Sky-Splitter will inevitably continue chattering incessantly.

However, when exploring that spatial rift earlier, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow fully demonstrated its powerful sacred beast bloodline, especially its remarkable ability to control spatial power, which saved him some effort.

"Even within the Xuan Yi Realm, where the heavens and earth are so vast and profound, such strange phenomena are beginning to appear, which shows that the seal of heaven and earth is indeed dissolving at an accelerated pace!"

The result of my observation just now is that it is merely a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth, and there is no opportunity for it to appear in the world.

"Great chaos is about to descend!"

Li Qing gently shook his head.

The earth-shattering changes that once circulated in the cultivation world are no longer just legends, but have gradually become a tangible reality.

Based solely on what has happened in Huanglong Kingdom, one can foresee just how chaotic the sealed land will become in the future.

Once the world continues to be unsealed, powerful cultivators at the Grand Master level will be able to openly appear, leading to unprecedented battles and conflicts. Furthermore, if the forces from outside the realm can indeed send the Dao-carrying artifacts into the sealed land, there will likely be even more powerful cultivators in the future.

The number of powerful cultivators in the sealed land is determined not by human strength, but by the objects that embody the Dao.

"Heading to the Southern Fir Region, there are several special places there; let's take a look around!"

Li Qing's heart stirred slightly, and he inputted all the information, including the map of the entire Xuan Yi Realm, into the Rift Sky Sparrow's divine soul.

"I didn't expect there to be a special fire-type place!"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow exclaimed excitedly, "We should investigate this thoroughly; it might contain an object of destiny that belongs to me."

"Master, rest assured, no matter what the outcome of the duel, I will repay your kindness and guidance."

Yellow sand filled the sky and covered the earth.

Deep within the vast desert, a colossal crimson demonic bird carried a figure in a green robe across the sky, experiencing a landscape completely different from the sea.

"The Xuannan Continent and that sea world are indeed very different!"

Although no opportunity was found, the Sky Sparrow still seemed very interested.

Exploring the unknown is an instinct of all living things.

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow was no exception.

Born in the world of Starry Sea, it was also full of curiosity about the unknown world of Xuannan Continent.

"Master, beneath the towering yellow sands, a demon is fleeing!"

The next moment, before Li Qing could even nod, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow suddenly spewed out demonic flames, instantly turning the vast yellow sand below into a sea of ​​fire.

The vast yellow sand was melted away, turning into countless pure, fine crystalline particles. Streaks of demonic flame, like thick, fiery pythons, burrowed into the depths of the sand sea, and after a short while, imprisoned a massive sand worm-like demon dragon, hundreds of feet long.

"too weak!"

Upon seeing the sand worm, whose strength was approaching the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth rank, appear, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow instantly lost interest and once again spewed demonic flames to burn it to ashes.

"Master, it seems there's a big battle going on over there. Maybe some treasure will appear!"

call!call!
The Sky-Splitter Sparrow spread its wings once more, carrying Li Qing as it rushed into the depths of the desert.

In the vast mountains and the sky.

A vast, red river meanders and twists, almost encircling the entire mountain range.

Looking down, the so-called crimson river is actually a real river of flames, with a vast and endless stream of fire flowing through it, filling the entire boundless world with a fiery aura.

The Endless Flaming River is the most special place in the Southern Fir Region, and a treasure land that countless fire-element cultivators yearn for.

This vast world is not only filled with endless fire-type spiritual creatures, but also nurtures countless violent fire-type demons. It is a sacred fire-type land where danger and opportunity coexist, and death and rebirth are intertwined.

"This place is truly perfect for my cultivation!"

In the outer region of the Endless Flaming River, amidst the horrified gazes of numerous cultivators, a colossal crimson phantom pierced the heavens and earth, vanishing in a flash, leaving behind only that ancient and desolate, fierce and oppressive aura.

"Quickly inform the elders! A terrifying late-stage fourth-tier demon has entered the depths of the Endless Flame River!"

"Immediately notify the sect leader and the others."

at the same time.

The Sky-Splitter had already excitedly plunged into the depths of the Endless Flaming River, beginning its search for its own fire-type opportunity.

"A swarm of nine-segmented fireflies was hidden at the bottom of that fire peak!"

With the powerful senses of its sacred beast bloodline, the Sky-Splitter quickly discovered a group of food.

Rumble!!

The majestic crimson fiery peak was directly severed by a massive crimson demonic wing, and streaks of crimson light shot into the sky, frantically fleeing.

The Sky-Splittered Sparrow cackled, flapping its wings and engulfing everything in billowing demonic flames, sending it hurtling backward toward its gaping maw.

"It is your honor to become my food!"

On the other side, Li Qing remained seated cross-legged on the back of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, as still as a mountain, quietly observing this special world.

"This boundless land of fire is truly a natural creation of heaven and earth, beyond human capability!"

Just then, after enjoying its meal, the Sky-Splitter Sparrow spread its wings again and sped off into the depths of the Endless Flaming River.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has quietly passed.

The man and the bird finally left the Southern Six Regions and truly entered the Central Region.

The vast majority of this time was spent in the Endless Blazing River.

With Li Qing in charge, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow became unrestrained, searching for fire-type spiritual objects and hunting down ancient fire-type monsters lurking deep within the Endless Flaming River, reaping a bountiful harvest.

If it weren't for Li Qing's orders, the Sky-Splitter Sparrow would probably still be reluctant to leave that perfect hunting ground.

Central region, Yuanhuang Plain.

The largest market town in the core area.

As countless figures streaked through the air, a figure in a green robe descended towards the outer edge of a vast expanse of palaces and pavilions.

"There are cultivators everywhere, what's there to see!"

On Li Qing's shoulder, a delicate little red bird kept hopping around, chirping and complaining incessantly.

"Compared to that land of endless scorching rivers, this place is nothing special!"

After leaving the Endless Flame River, this phrase almost became the Sky Sparrow's mantra. Whenever he entered a new place, he would first compare it with the Endless Flame River.

"Those warm, fiery places are the best treasures, rarely visited by people, unlike this noisy place."

Li Qing, who had never paid any attention to the chattering of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, nodded with a hint of agreement.

Since entering the Central Region, the biggest feeling I have had is that it is crowded.

In this most prosperous and ancient world, the number of cultivators is truly terrifying, with countless sects and families scattered throughout. It is almost impossible to find such remote places as the outside world.

For example, looking at this market town, the flow of people is like that of a capital city in the mortal world, with crowds surging and never-ending.

In addition, he discovered another interesting place.

After entering the Central Region, the mortal world and the cultivation world are completely integrated, with no clear boundary separating them.

Even in the heart of this market town, one can see the figures of many ordinary people.

"My lords, the first second-tier Spirit Escape Talisman that my master has successfully crafted is fresh off the press. It's an absolute gem, an essential for survival."

Many shops have ordinary people standing outside, hawking their wares.

"The newly brewed 'Beauty's Intoxication,' once drunk, will amplify desire, making one the perfect match for beautiful women and fairies."

Just then, Li Qing slowly stopped.

"Is Your Excellency interested in the Beauty's Intoxication?"

The young servant in blue who had been hawking his wares immediately broke into a beaming smile: "Rest assured, sir, this product is absolutely genuine. My master has personally invited many immortals and beauties to taste it, and its effects are truly remarkable."

"How many beauties does your master currently have by his side?"

Li Qing chuckled and joked.

"To be frank, my master is only at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he has two Golden Core cultivators as his partners. This is enough to prove one thing."

At this moment, Li Qing's gaze had already fallen upon a young man in a white robe with flowing hair who walked out of a nearby shop.

"Why is the character 'Bai Li' printed on this person's Taoist robe?"

Li Qing took the initiative to ask the servant in blue robes beside him.

"Could he be a member of the Baili family?"

"My lord, please don't joke. Why would someone from the Holy Clan come here!" The servant in blue waved his hands repeatedly. "The Taoist robe he is wearing is a standard Taoist robe. Anyone participating in the Array Formation True Understanding Competition held by the Hundred Mile Holy Clan can wear such a Taoist robe!"

"Only those who win first place in the competition are qualified to join the outer sect of the Array Dao Academy under the Baili family!"

Li Qing waved his hand, and a high-grade spirit stone fell towards the servant in blue. Then, he walked towards the departing young man with disheveled hair.

"How interesting, the Yellow Dragon Mirror actually reacted."
