Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1607 Treasure Hunt (Part 1)

Within the devastating blue abyss.

A blue celestial palace, radiating an ancient and imposing aura, slowly rotated, becoming increasingly dazzling. Even though it was covered in cracks and wounds, it still exuded a vast and boundless aura that surpassed heaven and earth.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
As the South China Sea Celestial Palace continued to shine, torrents of spiritual light continuously erupted from within it, piercing through the layers of blue abyss surrounding it.

Among them, the two streams of spiritual light, one red and one yellow, were the most eye-catching, simply because they each emitted a unique Daoist charm belonging to fifth-order heaven and earth spiritual objects.

"Two artifacts that symbolize the Dao have appeared!"

Amidst the excited gazes of the crowd, the two fifth-order Dao-transferring artifacts approached. The yellow Dao-spirited torrent rushed towards the two ancient forces closer to the Yuanmie Sect, while the crimson Dao-spirited torrent went straight towards the Baili family and their group.

Just then, the legendary Daoist Huahai, who had long since passed away, suddenly shouted, and his three avatars simultaneously assumed a cross-legged posture. Whoosh! Whoosh! The three auras were in unison, yet each exuded a vast and powerful magic that emanated the perfect true meaning of the Great Dao, instantly condensing into a blue spiritual flower.

A huge blue spiritual flower bloomed instantly, and three long blue lotus leaves, as if formed from the convergence of a vast ocean, stretched out, each bearing the figure of a tall old man sitting cross-legged.

The next moment, three elders, each emanating a different perfect water-element Dao essence, simultaneously formed hand seals. The enormous blue spiritual flower instantly merged, transforming into a thick blue rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, instantly passing over Li Qing and the Baili family who were accelerating forward, and rushing towards the crimson torrent of Dao essence.

Upon seeing this, Li Qing frowned slightly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

He wasn't about to give up so easily.

Although the fifth-order Dao-possessing artifact within that crimson torrent of Dao essence did not match the Dao he cultivated, it was still a legendary fifth-order spiritual object of heaven and earth, and its value was self-evident. Even in the true spirit world, it would be a remarkable item for trade.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, you need not worry about us!"

Baili Guansha immediately spoke up in a deep voice: "Now that you have led us into the core area and fulfilled your promise, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan can go all out in the upcoming battle for opportunities!"

Even if the Baili family cannot obtain that opportunity to acquire the Dao, they do not want it to fall into the hands of Daoist Huahai.

"Fellow Daoists, please take care!"

The next moment, Li Qing no longer hesitated and directly broke away from the Seven Stars Breaking Heaven Formation, accelerating towards the crimson torrent of Dao essence.

During the journey, information about the mysterious Taoist priest in the sea of ​​flowers resurfaced in my mind.

Hua Hai Dao Ren, formerly the number one rogue cultivator in Xuan Nan Hai, was renowned for his extraordinary strength and mastery of escape techniques, making him feared by the major powers in the surrounding areas.

According to the records of the Baili family, when the South Sea Immortal Palace was last created, this Flower Sea Daoist single-handedly seized various rare treasures from the hands of the major powers and calmly left in the face of being surrounded and attacked.

He even attacked an elder of the Baili family, showing that he acted recklessly.

However, when the South Sea Immortal Palace appeared last time, no object for conveying the Dao appeared, and the Flower Sea Daoist eventually left on his own initiative.

According to the Baili family's speculation, when Daoist Huahai made his move hundreds of years ago, he was already facing the end of his lifespan. They never expected that he would live to this day and that his strength would become even more terrifying.

Looking at the massive blue beam of light accelerating towards the crimson torrent of Dao essence, a strange light flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

"The Three Realms!"

This was the first time he had ever witnessed a cultivator within the sealed land who could simultaneously cultivate three branches of the Great Dao to perfection, which was enough to prove just how extraordinary this legendary number one rogue cultivator in the South China Sea was.

That was the path of the Great Dao he pursued. The difference was that Li Qing was pursuing the perfection of four branches of the Great Dao of the Water System, including the branches of the Water System corresponding to the three Great Seas of Wheels and the Water Abyss Dao. He would then use four kinds of objects to receive and carry the power of the Great Dao, thereby breaking through to the realm of a Great Cultivator.

"This person's true strength is probably comparable to that demonized Great Dao Tree back then, and he is only one step away from becoming a Great Cultivator!"

Looking at the opponents Li Qing has faced in the past, the strongest are undoubtedly the former Demonized Great Dao Tree and the former incarnation of the Sea Clan King Kun. King Kun needs no introduction; his true strength is absolutely formidable even among Great Cultivators. As for the Demonized Great Dao Tree, although it has not yet reached the fourth-order Great Perfection, its foundation is undoubtedly terrifying. If the Zhenhai Pearl had not devoured the water-based Great Dao origin within it, it would probably have already reached the fourth-order Great Perfection level.

"Let's see what the so-called perfected Three Paths Realm is all about!"

Li Qing felt a growing curiosity.

This is also a good opportunity to learn how this realm differs from that of a typical late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, thus providing some guidance for him when he enters this level in the future.

call!call!
The Heavenly Water Wheel Sea Dao Scripture circulated wildly, and the Kunpeng Secret Technique was activated instantly.
A pale blue phantom with two wings instantly took shape, radiating a vast and ancient pressure. Then, it suddenly spread its wings, tearing through the blue abyss in front of it, and transformed into a blue phantom that rushed straight towards Daoist Huahai.

The phantom of the Kunpeng, like a streak of azure lightning, instantly closed in.

"What kind of skill is this!"

The enormous blue spiritual flower, which had been accelerating forward, suddenly stopped, and then bloomed simultaneously.

On three lotus leaves that resembled a vast ocean, three tall, elderly men sat cross-legged, their faces solemn.

"No wonder he has such a reputation despite only being at the late Nascent Soul stage, and even directly influences the world order within the Ancient Profound Realm!"

In an instant, the three avatars of Daoist Huahai simultaneously made hand seals.

Three enormous lotus leaves erupted and swayed simultaneously, transforming into three massive, ethereal blue fan-shaped phantoms that swept down towards the approaching azure lightning. Whoosh! Whoosh! Within each ethereal blue fan-shaped phantom, vast blue torrents rapidly generated, crisscrossing along unique trajectories and evolving into a perfect divine charm.

As he watched the vast, relentless onslaught, Li Qing's Heavenly Water Wheel Sea Dao Scripture circulated wildly within his body, unleashing an even more vigorous Kunpeng power. Boom! Boom! The Kunpeng phantom continued to erupt, its wings unfurling, directly dispersing the blue torrents.

The three illusory lotus leaves that fell one after another were like three different water systems, each bursting out with different Dao intents, some to imprison, some to suppress, firmly blocking the approach of the Kunpeng illusory image.

"Truly remarkable!"

After a direct confrontation, Li Qing immediately sensed the difference.

Although this Daoist Huahai has not yet entered the realm of a great cultivator, his control over power has reached a new level.

Unlike the Demonized Great Dao Tree of yesteryear, which possessed almost inexhaustible power due to its unparalleled foundation and thus could unleash such a level of strength, this Flower Sea Daoist, with his profound understanding of the Great Dao of Water, maximized the power he could utilize.

In a sense, this person represents the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm, since a great cultivator has, strictly speaking, transcended the Nascent Soul realm and mastered the power of the Great Dao.

"The Kunpeng Secret Technique alone is really insufficient!" The next moment, Li Qing also began to use his true trump card - the Zhenhai Pearl.

A massive surge of divine soul power instantly flooded into the inner world of the Zhenhai Pearl, and an even more magnificent source of the water system's power flowed out, resembling long blue rivers hanging down from above.

The immense power of the Kunpeng accelerated its formation, and the originally illusory Kunpeng phantom began to be reborn as if it had been reborn from the ashes, becoming more condensed and real, as if the real ancient Kunpeng had descended to earth.

Whoosh!!

The solidified phantom of the Kunpeng stretched its wings even further, and the vast power of the Kunpeng transformed into a gigantic blue blade that swept horizontally across the heavens and earth with a deafening roar! The three phantom lotus leaves of heaven and earth were instantly annihilated.

"This is bad! This person actually had hidden strength!"

Faced with that overwhelming pressure, as if an ancient behemoth had been reborn, even Daoist Huahai's expression changed drastically.

The strength his opponent had just displayed was already enough to pose a threat to him, let alone now.

The next moment, Hua Hai Dao Ren made a new choice.

One of its avatars, carrying a blue lotus leaf, automatically detached and continued rushing towards the crimson torrent of Dao essence, while the other two avatars continued to control the entire enormous blue spiritual flower and actively rushed towards Li Qing.

Clearly, the other party intended to stall Li Qing in order to quickly seize the fifth-tier Dao-transferring item.

Before Li Qing could break free of the encirclement, the enormous blue spiritual flower had already turned upside down, as if to seal the entire world. The two avatars erupted simultaneously, each offering a blue jade tablet. Countless thick blue mystic patterns intertwined and merged with the enormous blue spiritual flower that had turned upside down, making it even more real.

Just as Li Qing was engaged in a fierce battle with Hua Hai Dao Ren, the two ancient forces of Yuan Mie Zong also clashed head-on. Neither side was willing to give up the Dao-entrusting item in front of them.

Meanwhile, only the Baili family did not participate in the competition for the two Dao-binding items; instead, they took the initiative to rush towards the other rare and precious spiritual treasures.

For the Baili family, the array formation they cultivate does not place as much importance on the items that are attached to the Dao. If they can seize some of the other rare and precious spiritual objects, their value to the Baili family is no less than that of the items that are attached to the Dao.

Some array formations often require the blessing of rare and precious spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

Furthermore, the Baili family actually had no other choice.

The Dao-infused artifacts within the crimson torrent belong to that Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, and they should not get involved. As for the other two ancient forces of the Yuanmie Sect, their direct strength is clearly superior to that of the Baili family. Within this destructive blue abyss, array techniques are inherently restrained.

Just as all sides began to descend into chaos.

Unbeknownst to anyone, inside the South Sea Immortal Palace, which exuded an ancient and imposing aura and slowly rotated, the cracks were becoming increasingly pronounced and deepening, and even the outer perimeter of the palace began to crumble on its own.

In one of the core battlefields.

Within the spiritual realm evolved from a massive blue spiritual flower, countless torrents, like thousands of dragons, emerged from the sky and swooped down upon a pale blue fish with wings on its back.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The phantom of Kunpeng was like a world-destroying behemoth, constantly erupting. Each attack caused the entire blue spiritual flower seal to tremble, and the vast blue torrents continuously collapsed.

As he watched the avatar of the Flower Sea Daoist approach the crimson torrent of Dao essence in the distance, Li Qing once again activated the power of the Kunpeng, suddenly spreading his wings and soaring into the sky, directly obliterating all obstacles.

Just as he was about to break free and pursue the avatar of Daoist Huahai, the other two avatars, as if they had gone mad, took the initiative to block the Kunpeng phantom with their physical bodies.

"court death!"

The phantom of the Kunpeng instantly closed its wings, and the mighty power of the Kunpeng transformed into a massive blue blade that slashed down from the sky.

A bizarre scene then unfolded.

Hua Hai Dao Ren's two avatars remained undeterred, and instead of resorting to any special methods, they chose to join hands and proactively meet the attack.

The two avatars soared into the sky, each erupting with ancient mystic runes, and suddenly merged back together, transforming once more into an ancient blue crystal pillar. Boom! Boom! The colossal blue blade formed from the power of the Kunpeng descended, blasting the blue crystal pillar away head-on, but it did not sever it directly, leaving only a deep mark.

"This is!"

The sudden turn of events startled Li Qing.

He quickly realized that the Flower Sea Taoist probably no longer had a physical body, but had chosen to merge his entire being with that mysterious blue crystal pillar, which was why he had managed to prolong his lifespan even when it was nearing its end.

Seeing this, Li Qing stopped engaging with the two avatars and began to unleash the greatest advantage of the Kunpeng Secret Technique – speed.

The next moment, the Kunpeng phantom suddenly erupted, its wings flashing, and it accelerated, tearing through the heavens and earth and disappearing. In an instant, it chased after the Flower Sea Daoist clone at the front. As for the two Flower Sea Daoist avatars behind it, no matter how hard they tried to catch up, they were still firmly left behind and had no choice but to give up.

Although Li Qing has been using the Kunpeng Secret Technique to fight head-on for years, the Kunpeng Secret Technique's original name is "Netherworld Falling Nine Heavens," and its true strength lies in speed. That is the key to Li Qing's journey from his weak days to where he is today.

In the blink of an eye, the Kunpeng phantom caught up with the Huahai Daoist avatar at the forefront, and a massive blue blade slashed down once more.

"not good!"

Hua Hai Dao Ren roared in anger and had no choice but to reveal his special treasure - the Crystal Pillar Body - to withstand the attack.

Meanwhile, Li Qing had already accelerated his way to the front of the crimson torrent of Dao essence.

Boom! Boom!
The layers of crimson Dao essence seals were cleaved open by the Kunpeng's wings, revealing a crimson moonstone the size of a head, riddled with holes, radiating a deep and intense Dao essence aura.

Li Qing rushed forward instantly and collected the fifth-tier fire-elemental artifact.

Although it was a fifth-order fire-elemental artifact, it was still extremely precious to him.

After successfully acquiring a new Dao-entrusting artifact, Li Qing turned his head to look back at the South China Sea's number one rogue cultivator, Hua Hai Dao Ren, who was currently in a special state.

However, just as he was considering whether or not to make another move.

Not far away, the South Sea Immortal Palace underwent another change. It once again erupted with an eternal radiance that pierced the heavens, and new torrents surged into the sky. Among them, two more torrents emitted the unique Dao essence belonging to fifth-order Dao-possessing objects.
