Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1611 The Real Opportunity
Beyond the Blue Abyss.

Countless figures filled every corner of the sea, and as far as the eye could see, they all exuded the pressure of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Meanwhile, countless Nascent Soul cultivators waiting on the outskirts were all staring intently at the direction of the dissipating blue abyss.

Although the competition for opportunities in the South China Sea Immortal Palace has come to an end and the major powerhouses have begun to withdraw, countless Nascent Soul cultivators on the periphery have not only not retreated voluntarily, but have instead become even more excited.

The only opportunities are the scraps that the major powers look down on.

In one corner, a blue spirit boat with golden patterns floated silently.

"I hope this trip will be fruitful!"

On the spirit boat, a tall, young man at the head spoke in a deep voice.

"Rest assured, Peak Master. Based on our understanding, whenever the South Sea Immortal Palace appears in the world, countless spiritual treasures are scattered in various corners, among which there may be undiscovered extraordinary opportunities."

An elder in the mid-Nascent Soul stage whispered, "However, Peak Master, you still need to be careful. Although the major powerhouses have all retreated, there may still be hidden experts around!"

"It's alright!"

The tall figure waved his hand, his tone revealing a hint of confidence: "Those powerful beings have already left one after another. In the remaining battle for opportunities, at most, there will be no more than a peak mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. I know what I'm doing."

Upon hearing this, the other two Nascent Soul stage elders also fell silent.

They knew this newly appointed peak master quite well. Although he appeared to be only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his methods were quite remarkable, and he was highly regarded by the Grand Elder. Even if a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul expert harbored ill intentions, it would be difficult for him to easily threaten the other party.

"That must be the legendary Baili family, the number one holy clan in the Xuan Yi Realm of array formations, right?"

Just then, the tall, young man at the head of the group looked into the distance.

But then, a white spirit boat bearing endless array patterns emerged from the vanished blue abyss, radiating immense pressure.

Looking at the two characters 'Bai Li' engraved on the spirit boat, the tall young cultivator showed a look of awe.

That is one of the most terrifying forces in the Xuan Yi Realm and even the entire Xuan Nan Continent cultivation world. It is the leading force in the Dao of Arrays, and the sacred clan of the Dao of Arrays that countless cultivators of the Dao of Arrays worship.

Let alone the fact that the sect has now fallen from its peak and fled to the Xuan Nan Sea to survive, even if the sect were at its peak and that ancestor were still alive, it would still be difficult to compare with that array-based holy clan.

As if he had thought of something, a trace of sorrow flashed in the tall young cultivator's eyes.

"I wonder how long this low-key existence will last, and when the sect will finally reveal itself to the world."

In his heart, he knew that it might never be possible.

The sect may never have another chance to join the ranks of the top powers.

Although his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, as a key rising star cultivated by the sect, he already knew the truth about the sect's relocation and escape back then.

Without the means to sustain one's cultivation, even if the Grand Elder reaches the late-stage peak realm, he will have no chance to break through to the Great Cultivator realm.

"That force seems to have its eye on the sect. If the Grand Elder and that Supreme Elder fail to advance their advancements, I fear the sect may face a new crisis."

At that very moment.

The once tranquil sea suddenly became turbulent.

"It's him!"

"It's the legendary Azure Mystic True Lord who has emerged."

Countless Nascent Soul cultivators in the surrounding seas looked towards the distance.

Under the gaze of countless curious, shocked and other complex eyes, a young figure in a green robe stepped out of the rapidly dissipating blue abyss and appeared in the sky.

"It is said that this True Monarch Qingxuan recently encountered an ancient alien race descending upon the Xuan Yi realm. He then single-handedly forced the ancient alien race to flee in panic and even killed one of the ancient alien race's powerful members."

The surrounding chatter caused the three people inside the golden-patterned spirit boat to widen their eyes in disbelief once again.

"Is this the legendary Azure Profound True Monarch, the terrifying powerhouse who changed the world order of the Ancient Profound Realm with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation?"

"The other side was actually able to force the ancient alien race that descended to the realm to flee?"

Although they had heard of the name of this Azure Mystic True Lord, they were still unaware of the great event of the ancient alien race descending upon the Xuan Yi territory.

As Nascent Soul elders of a once-powerful force, the three of them naturally understood the matter of the ancient alien races descending upon the world.

Every ancient alien race qualified to descend to the realm must have a powerful cultivator at the level of a great master overseeing them.

They found it hard to believe that a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could force an ancient alien race with a powerful cultivator in charge to flee in panic. Such a thing was truly beyond their imagination.

"It's unbelievable!"

One of the elders exclaimed in shock, "To think that someone with only a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation could possess such terrifying strength, no wonder they became a partner of the Baili Sacred Clan!"

"It's quite a coincidence that before I left, a monstrous genius named Qingxuan Zhenjun also topped the Inner Star Sea's Earthly Fiend Ranking."

the other side.

Just as Li Qing was saying goodbye to the Baili family and preparing to leave, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"What a coincidence!"

The next moment, amidst countless astonished gazes, the terrifying young figure in a green robe, renowned for his formidable reputation and considered nearly invincible below the level of a Great Cultivator, did not depart directly like the other top forces. Instead, he transformed into a green afterimage and descended towards the outer sea area.

"What does that person want to do?"

The three people on the blue spirit boat with golden patterns looked at each other, puzzled.

Most of the people in the outer sea area are ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators with no powerful background or origin. Otherwise, they wouldn't be waiting so long in the outer sea area, preparing to seize any remaining opportunities and spiritual treasures.

Just then, the three of them suddenly widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

But then the azure afterimage appeared as if it had emerged from the depths of space, instantly appearing in front of the spirit boat.

call!call!
As if a gentle breeze had blown, the restrictions around the golden-patterned spirit boat automatically dissipated, and the young figure in the green robe gracefully landed and stood in front of the three of them.

"Greetings, Lord Qingxuan!"

The three, realizing what had happened, looked terrified and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

At that moment, a force gently lifted the three of them up.

Where are you from?

Upon hearing this, the three of them tensed up at the same time. The tall, young cultivator at the head of the group regained his senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Reporting to Lord Qingxuan, the three of us are elders of the Water Control Sect. We have come here only to witness the legendary birth of the South Sea Immortal Palace!"

"Shui Yuzong?"

A profound meaning flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

It seems his intuition was correct after all. Although the name has changed, how could the lineage he cultivated be easily altered?

"I happen to be planning to travel to the Xuan Nan Sea, so why don't I pay a visit to your sect?"

"Visiting our sect?" The three tall, young cultivators looked on incredulously.

Their Water Control Sect is currently not well-known and is seen by outsiders as just an ordinary top-tier Nascent Soul sect. What qualifications do they have to receive the legendary Azure Profound True Monarch in person?

The tall, young cultivator at the head of the group was the first to react, a wave of fear washing over him. He then forced himself to remain calm and bowed repeatedly, saying, "My lord, you are unaware that our Water Control Sect's Grand Elder and others are currently in seclusion, and I'm afraid they are unable to personally receive you."

Li Qing waved his hand gently: "Just contact Elder Zhilang and say that you are an old friend from the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect who has come to pay your respects!"

"Elder!"

The three could no longer remain calm, never expecting that the legendary Qingxuan True Lord would know the name of the Grand Elder.

"How could that be? The Grand Elder has never shown his face in public, much less revealed his true name."

The three tall, young cultivators were filled with fear.

If the other party knows the title of the Grand Elder, doesn't that mean they also know everything about the sect's past?

"Just keep in touch!"

Li Qing did not continue to explain, but stood quietly in place and waited.

As he appeared and prepared to leave, he immediately sensed a familiar aura, which was the water-based inheritance he had diligently studied back then - the Imperial Water Scripture.

The tall, young cultivator before me is the one who cultivates the Imperial Water Scripture.

The so-called Water Imperial Sect is actually the Water Emperor Sect that escaped from the Inner Star Sea back then.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Unexpectedly, this trip to the South China Sea to compete for the opportunity to enter the South China Sea Immortal Palace led to an encounter with an old friend of the Water Emperor Sect who had disappeared years ago.

Upon closer examination, it does seem somewhat normal.

Ancestor Cangyu participated in the war against the heavens back then. As a price, there was no place for the Water Emperor Sect to stay in the Inner Star Sea or even the entire Star Sea. The only way to save the sect was to flee to the Xuan Nan Continent. And looking at the entire Xuan Nan Continent, only the South Sea was the most suitable place for the Water Emperor Sect to take root.

Firstly, this sea area is vast and boundless, making it easy to hide. Secondly, this sea area's environment is most similar to the cultivation environment of the Inner Star Sea.

"Since we've met, we should at least see each other!"

In a sense, the Water Emperor Sect can also be considered his original sect, since the Thousand Water Spirit Control Sect is one of the branches left behind by the Water Emperor Sect, and the Water Emperor Sect did indeed cultivate him back then.

Back then, after he reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, the Water Emperor Sect took the initiative to summon him and then began to cultivate him without any conditions, using the sect's resources. Even the Cangyu Ancestor personally answered his questions and guided his cultivation path.

Both morally and logically, he must repay the favors he owed back then.

Just then, the tall young cultivator beside him seemed to receive some news, and the panic on his face began to turn into confusion and bewilderment.

"Reporting to Lord Qingxuan, the Grand Elder has instructed the three of us to personally accompany you to the sect's headquarters!"

"Let's go!"

Li Qing nodded slightly and sat up cross-legged. Seeing this, the other three also wisely retreated to the depths of the spirit boat, not daring to disturb him any further.

It's perfectly normal that these three people didn't recognize him.

Back then, to protect him from being implicated, he entered the Water Emperor Sect to cultivate under the identity of Wei Xia, a descendant of Elder Zhilang.

On the surface, he had no connection with the Water Emperor Sect.

"I wonder what the current situation is like for Elder Zhilang and Elder Leihuan!"

More than two hundred years have passed since the Water Emperor Sect left. At that time, he was only at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while Elder Zhilang and Elder Leihuan were both at the late-Nascent Soul stage.

"However, when we met back then, Elder Lei Huan, a descendant of Ancestor Cang Yu, was already close to the peak of the late stage and might even have successfully broken through."

Amidst countless shocked and bewildered gazes.

The blue spirit boat with golden patterns retreated on its own and sailed into the depths of the sea.

On the spirit boat.

Li Qing remained seated quietly in the same spot.

He was not in a hurry to travel, but let the three of them lead him towards the current location of the Water Emperor Sect.

The next moment, Li Qing composed himself and stopped thinking about the Water Emperor Sect. Everything would become clear after they met.

Taking this opportunity, he also began to seriously review the gains from his trip to the South China Sea Fairy Palace.

Including the Earth Spirit Saint Crystal he obtained from the Divine Pattern Clan's descent, he now possesses three Dao-entrusting opportunities, the other two being fire-elemental and wood-elemental Dao-entrusting items.

Although he did not obtain the item that could be used to transport him to the water system, it was not important to him.

He only needs innate spiritual water and items that resonate with the Dao of the Water Abyss. Even if he obtains water-based items, they will be useless to him and can only be spoils of war.

Of course, compared to the three opportunities that led to his enlightenment, the last two major gains were the opportunities that could truly be of great help to him.

The mysterious blue coral of the Water Path is a treasure of the soul, and the blue spear is also a supreme treasure of the Water Path at the pseudo-spiritual treasure level.

"Even if I reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage soon, these two opportunities should be of great help to me!"

As for the details of those two opportunities, we can only find out after refining them one by one.

The next moment, the image of his final escape from the endless dark void resurfaced in Li Qing's mind.

"What level of existence is that?"

Is it some kind of hidden treasure? Or some other special creature?

The power contained in that small blue world far exceeded his imagination; its level was so high that it even surpassed the prototype of the innate spiritual treasure he had obtained.

"It can't be some special entity!"

Even though the seal of heaven and earth is gradually dissipating, the rules of the Great Dao still exist and will certainly not allow such powerful beings to appear.

Thinking of this, Li Qing felt a surge of emotions.

"It's highly likely to be an unimaginable treasure. Could it be the Dao Source Item that the patriarch of the Baili family mentioned?"

His conversation with the patriarch of the Baili family resurfaced in his mind.

The Dao Source objects nurtured within the Heaven and Earth Sealing Array also have different levels. Even normally, they are at the level of innate spiritual treasures, or even the legendary level of heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. This is why they attract the covetousness and madness of various forces outside the realm, who spare no expense to descend into the realm in order to find the hiding place of such Dao Source objects in advance.

"A Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!"

Li Qing couldn't help but tremble.

Such treasures are legendary items that only near-immortal beings can possess. Even in the vast spiritual realm, they would be considered true treasures of heaven and earth, or even the most precious treasures of a clan.

"If it's true, then that would be the greatest opportunity I've gained on this trip. Compared to that, the three Dao-entrusting artifacts and the other two great treasures combined are nothing."
