Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1598 The Gift
Deep within the core market town of the Yuanhuang Plain.

A colossal silver-patterned ship soared into the sky, its thick silver patterns intertwining and transforming into a pair of enormous silver wings that spread out before vanishing into the horizon.

On the spirit boat, a lean, black-haired old man exuding the aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was giving his final instructions.

"You must remember the experience and lessons learned from the Yuanhuang Plain Array Dao Association that we are about to give you for the array competition to be held at the Giant God Mountain Array Dao Academy!"

"There will be array geniuses from all around participating, making the competition extremely fierce and brutal. Only the top ten can join the inner sect of the Array Dao Academy."

As he spoke, Vice President Zhenming turned to look at Tong Guang, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

“You are different from them. After you go to Mount Giant God, you can directly join the Array Dao Academy. Although you will be an outer disciple, with your talent in array formation, as long as you successfully form your core, you can directly enter the inner sect and become a member of the Array Dao Academy!”

"Thank you for your teachings, President. I will keep them in mind and diligently cultivate myself!" Tong Guang said respectfully.

At this moment, several array cultivators standing nearby all showed expressions of envy.

Although they are all at the Golden Core stage and have begun to show their initial fame in the art of array formation, they are not qualified to join the Array Formation Academy directly. Only by passing the more difficult Array Formation Competition and entering the top ten can they become a member of the Array Formation Academy. They are not even absolutely certain that they can enter the top ten this time, because their opponents are all formidable.

Joining the Array Dao Academy is the path to heaven that all array Dao cultivators dream of. Joining the Array Dao Academy also means joining the Hundred Mile Array Dao Holy Clan. As long as you perform outstandingly, you will have inexhaustible status and resources.

Looking across the entire Xuan Yi Realm, and even the entire Xuan Nan Continent, the Baili Array Dao Saint Clan is undoubtedly one of the strongest forces and one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of this world.

"Looking across this world, only by joining the inner sect of the Array Dao Academy can you have the opportunity to go further on the path of arrays!" Vice President Zhenming's eyes revealed a hint of complexity: "As long as you perform outstandingly within the Array Dao Academy, you will receive cultivation from the Holy Clan, thereby obtaining a more ancient and complete inheritance of arrays."

Although he had already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he had reached the end of the arduous path of array formation and had no further hope of advancement.

His failure to join the Array Dao Academy back then was also a great regret for him.

"Once you reach the Golden Core realm and enter the inner sect, our Yuanhuang Plain Array Dao Association will personally come to congratulate you."

Just as Vice President Zhenming continued to paint a picture of the wonderful fantasy of joining the Array Dao Academy for everyone.

Unbeknownst to them, the massive silver-patterned flying boat entered a vast sea of ​​clouds, and two hidden figures simultaneously emerged from the depths of the clouds.

The two figures that appeared were both wearing ancient black masks and each held a gray chain, surrounding the silver-patterned giant ship.

"who?"

Vice President Zhenming's expression changed slightly at this moment, and he immediately activated the spirit boat.

Thousands of thick array patterns were revealed, transforming into layers of thick silver patterned barriers that firmly protected the entire massive spirit ship.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Just then, two gray chains descended like two massive pythons, attempting to strangle the entire silver-patterned spirit boat. Boom! Boom! As the layers of array pattern barriers collided with the two gray chains, large swaths of annihilating gray light flowed out, and the array pattern barriers rapidly collapsed.

"not good!"

Inside the spirit boat, Vice President Zhenming's expression suddenly changed.

Those two gray chain magic weapons were clearly very effective at suppressing the power of the array.

"I am the Vice President of the Yuanhuang Plain Array Dao Association. Who are you?"

However, the two figures wearing ancient gray masks did not respond and continued to launch a new and powerful offensive.

"I'll see you off first!"

Looking at the fearful faces of the people inside the spirit boat, Vice President Zhenming gave a low shout.

The continuous array patterns intertwined to form a ball of light that enveloped Tong Guang and the others. The entire Silver Pattern Spirit Boat erupted once more, first throwing the entire Silver Pattern Light Ball away from the battlefield.

These people were only at the Golden Core stage, and were of no use in the overall battle.

However, at this very moment...

But from the depths of the vast clouds and mist, golden jade butterflies soared into the sky, instantly forming a large array that surrounded everyone.

"Golden Disc Transformation Formation!"

Vice President Zhenming looked frightened: "What exactly do you want to do?"

The other side was clearly well-prepared and had been planning this for a long time, intending to leave all of them behind, not even sparing these array geniuses who were only at the Golden Core stage.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Since joining the Yuanhuang Plain Array Dao Association, he has rarely interacted with major external forces, let alone participated in those conflicts of interest. In theory, he has not offended anyone.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The new roar completely interrupted Vice President Zhenming's chaotic thoughts, and the entire silver-patterned spirit boat began to struggle against the onslaught, developing large cracks.

The two mysterious cultivators wearing gray masks were both incredibly powerful, approaching the peak of the mid-stage realm.

Without the prior arrangement of a grand formation to enhance their abilities, array cultivators generally have limited combat power, let alone when facing two such powerful adversaries simultaneously.

The next moment, Vice President Zhenming gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

The entire silver-patterned spirit boat accelerated toward the two mysterious masked cultivators, and then self-destructed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Vice President Zhenming suddenly raised his hand and summoned a special silver ancient talisman that exuded immense pressure.

Every array cultivator possesses a wealth far surpassing that of their peers. Knowing their direct strength is relatively weak, most array cultivators have multiple trump cards to protect themselves, and he is no exception.

call!call!
The silver ancient runes erupted simultaneously, and Vice President Zhenming transformed into a giant silver ancient spear that shot into the sky. Boom! Boom! The golden discs were instantly shattered, forcibly piercing through the great formation and escaping.

"Do not!!"

Just as Vice President Zhenming escaped from the great formation, he saw thousands of blood-red flying needles descending simultaneously with terrifying power that could pierce through everything.

However, outside the great formation, there was a mysterious cultivator with a mask on his head who exuded the pressure of the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm and had been waiting for a long time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Moments later, the battle ended, and Vice President Zhenming perished amidst despair and confusion.

"Leave no one alive except that little guy!"

A figure in a blood-red robe with a gray, ancient mask on his head slowly descended.

Screams rang out again.

In the blink of an eye, two masked cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage landed with Tong Guang, while the array geniuses were also killed on the spot.

"Who exactly are you people?" Tong Guang asked, his face filled with fear.

At this moment, he naturally understood that these three mysterious and terrifying Nascent Soul True Monarchs were clearly coming for him. Whether it was the fallen vice president or the others, they all died because of him.

Could it be...?

Tong Guang instantly remembered the secret within his body.

Aside from this reason, he really couldn't think of any reason why he, with his mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, would be qualified to have three powerful Nascent Soul experts come to capture him personally.

"I am already the champion of the True Understanding of Array Dao competition, and I am a member of the Array Dao Academy under the command of the Hundred Mile Array Dao Sacred Clan!"

In a moment of crisis, he began to reveal his newly acquired identity.

"The Hundred-Li Sacred Clan!"

The three ruthless Nascent Soul experts, all wearing ancient gray masks, simultaneously showed a hint of apprehension in their eyes: "Hmph, you've only just obtained your outer sect status, and you haven't even truly joined the Array Dao Academy yet!"

This is why the three of them personally took action. If they didn't act now, and this little thing actually joined the Array Dao Academy, they would have to be very careful when trying to abduct him.

"Let's go. The elders in the guild have been eagerly anticipating the secret of this little one's bloodline for a long time."

Just as the three masked, mysterious monks were about to leave with the terrified Tong Guang, they were about to leave.

call!call!
But then, a massive crimson phantom instantly cleaved the entire sea of ​​clouds, then tore through space itself, falling towards the three masked cultivators. "What is that?"

Now it was the turn of the three mysterious masked monks to show expressions of fear and horror.

The crimson phantom was so fast that it seemed to traverse space, leaving the three of them no chance to react.

Streaks of spiritual light shot into the sky, and the two gray chains that had just displayed their power also rushed towards the huge crimson phantom like giant pythons. Bang! Bang! Fragments of magical treasures fell all over the sky, and the vast and fierce aura of the late fourth-stage cultivator descended at the same time.

boom! boom! boom!
The three mysterious and powerful masked Nascent Soul cultivators transformed into three clouds of blood mist that slowly rose, without even having a chance to let out a scream.

"This is?"

The sudden and drastic change left Tong Guang stunned and at a loss.

Those were three Nascent Soul experts, and the mysterious masked expert leading them was a terrifying expert at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Even the powerful vice president was easily killed by him.

At this moment, such a powerful being perished on the spot, utterly powerless to resist.

"Just what kind of terrifying being is that?"

Tong Guang subconsciously looked up slowly.

The crimson aura emanating a vast and oppressive aura dissipated, and a colossal crimson demon bird was now watching him intently.

"Little thing, I am the Nine Heavens Rift, hurry up and thank me for saving your life!"

That arrogant voice instantly brought Tong Guang back to his senses.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir!"

Tong Guang bowed repeatedly, his heart filled with shock: "It's actually a late-stage fourth-order demon king!"

"No wonder those three masked Nascent Soul experts were powerless to fight back."

Just then, a new, calm voice interrupted Tong Guang's continuous bowing.

Do you know about the Ancient Blood Society?

Li Qing examined the three blood-red tokens in his hand and asked a question.

"Ancient Blood Society?"

Tong Guang subconsciously shook his head, and then immediately noticed the difference.

The new voice was clearly that of a powerful human.

"Could it be?"

Tong Guang looked past the enormous demonic bird in front of him and up at its body, where he discovered a figure in a green robe sitting cross-legged.

"This terrifying demon king is actually its mount."

Just as Tong Guang was once again overwhelmed with shock.

At this moment, Li Qing casually put away the three blood-red tokens.

That was the blood-red token found on the three fallen individuals. It was engraved with the three ancient characters 'Ancient Blood Society', clearly their identity tokens.

However, he had never heard of the Ancient Blood Society before, and guessed it was one of the forces hidden in the shadows.

"It wouldn't be right for us to visit the Baili family empty-handed!"

The next moment, a smile appeared on Li Qing's lips, and his gaze returned to the tall young man in front of him who possessed a special ancient bloodline.

"If I hadn't intervened, I'm afraid such a talented individual would have missed out on the Baili family. Let's consider him a gift."

As early as in the market, he received news from Baili Luo that the South Sea Immortal Palace showed signs of opening ahead of schedule, and the Baili family's Grand Elder intended to invite him to discuss the matter.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to end his travels and head to the Baili family, he happened to encounter this genius with a special bloodline who had been kidnapped.

In an instant, a blue light lifted Tong Guang up and brought him back to the back of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow.

"It just so happens that I also need to visit the Baili family; you may come with me."

call!call!
Upon receiving the command, the Sky-Splitter Sparrow spread its wings once more and vanished into the distance.

"Tong Guang greets Your Excellency!"

"Thank you for saving my life, sir."

While bowing respectfully, Tong Guang kept recalling the words of the mysterious green-robed expert in front of him.

Since this lord is going to visit the Baili family, he can accompany him and safely join the Array Dao Academy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

Since his bloodline awakened, he had been planning to join the Array Dao Academy in order to find a powerful backer. Looking at the entire Xuan Yi Realm, there was naturally no backer as powerful as the Baili Array Dao Saint Clan. Moreover, before his bloodline was awakened, he had been cultivating the array Dao method, which can be described as a perfect match.

"No need for formalities, I happen to be interested in the bloodline within you!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "Just focus on activating your bloodline!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Tong Guang immediately began to fully activate the special bloodline that had awakened within him.

In the presence of such a powerful figure, all he could do was respectfully obey orders in order to have a chance to save his life. As for whether this person would harm him because of his bloodline power, that was no longer something he could consider; he could only leave it to fate.

Actually, he still harbored some wishful thinking.

This lord just said he was going to visit the Hundred Mile Array Dao Sacred Clan, and he is now considered a member of the Array Dao Academy under the Hundred Mile Array Dao Sacred Clan. This lord might spare his life.

At least compared to being taken away by those three mysterious masked cultivators, the probability of survival has increased now.

Under Li Qing's watchful gaze.

Tong Guang also began to unleash the full power of his bloodline without any restraint. The hideous scars on his face softened and, upon closer inspection, appeared to be endless strange patterns interwoven with strands of scarlet blood light surrounding Tong Guang. However, unlike the others, the scarlet blood light did not reveal any ferocity; instead, it was incredibly gentle and pure.

"That's interesting!"

Li Qing flicked his finger, and streams of blue light instantly entered Tong Guang's body.

A moment later.

"Alright, disperse your bloodline power!"

Tong Guang obediently withdrew the power of his bloodline, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Does Your Excellency know the origin of the bloodline within me?"

"I don't know!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "The vastness of heaven and earth is boundless. Even within our human race, there are various special bloodlines. How can human beings fully comprehend them?"

"However, there is one thing: the bloodline that has awakened within you is not human. That kind of bloodline power is all-encompassing, gentle, and pure; it is quite remarkable."

At this moment, he gradually understood why Huang Longjing reacted to Tong Guang.

Tong Guangming is clearly at the Foundation Establishment stage, but the bloodline power awakening within him is extremely strong. If fully activated, it would be comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, demonstrating his immense future potential.

More importantly, that kind of bloodline power is not some kind of domineering bloodline that will expel dissidents and forcibly bind Tong Guang to a certain path. On the contrary, as verified just now, that special bloodline is very inclusive and can quickly adapt to various powers. This means that Tong Guang can completely choose his own path of cultivation.

"It does resemble the legendary Body of All Laws, naturally encompassing the power of all things."
