Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1614 Water-type Divine Coral
The Sea of ​​Xuannan.

The chaos caused by the emergence of the South China Sea Immortal Palace had just subsided when a new piece of news once again shook the entire vast sea and world.

The Zhou family of Juleihai was wiped out!
As an ancient family with strength second only to the top forces, the Zhou family is renowned in the South China Sea region and is the most prestigious force in the Thunder Path.

No one expected that the Zhou family, with its terrifying strength and foundation, would suddenly be destroyed, and even the Zhou family patriarch, who was at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, could not escape the fate of falling.

For a time, the hearts of all forces in the South China Sea were stirred and filled with unease.

Many forces have begun to secretly observe the attitude of the other top power.

Most forces in the South China Sea region knew that the Zhou family had a close relationship with that top power. However, what no one expected was that after the news of the Zhou family's destruction spread, the top power with which they had a close relationship made no statement, as if they had never heard of it.

Such a seemingly silent attitude, in a sense, is also a form of expression.

For a time, the Thunder Gathering Sea became a forbidden area in the eyes of all forces.

Even top-tier forces don't want to get involved, so naturally, other forces wouldn't dare to provoke them.

The fact that he was able to kill the Zhou family's patriarch is enough to prove the terrifying strength and background of the new master of the Thunder Gathering Sea.

At the same time, speculations about the inside story of the Zhou family patriarch's demise and the identity of the new master of the Thunder Gathering Sea began to spread.

The outer perimeter of Fangdao Island.

Within a spirit island shrouded in a vast, misty atmosphere.

At the summit of the majestic Lingfeng Peak, a young figure in a green robe sat quietly cross-legged. A gentle breeze blew, causing the elegant green robe to sway lightly, revealing a sense of leisure and tranquility.

After killing the Zhou family patriarch, Li Qing withdrew voluntarily, without even entering the Thunder Gathering Sea, leaving everything else to Elder Lei Huan.

Even when he left, he handed over the spoils of war from the Zhou family patriarch to Elder Lei Huan. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, the Water Emperor Sect would have a new foundation.

For him now, most of the opportunities and inheritances in this world have long lost their meaning.

Even though the Zhou family possessed remarkable hidden opportunities, he didn't care. He considered it a way of repaying the Water Emperor Sect's kindness in supporting him years ago.

"It's time to refine the two last remaining opportunities left by the South Sea Immortal Palace!"

Li Qing gazed at the shimmering sea in the distance, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He had already developed a certain spiritual sense, and perhaps he could seize this opportunity to sense the chance to advance to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two beams of spiritual light, one blue and one red, rose up.

As the seal dissipated, two powerful auras emanating from the Dao erupted simultaneously, with crimson radiance and cyan halo engulfing the heavens and earth, splitting the azure sky in two.

call!call!
A vast expanse of crimson flames surged and transformed into a sea of ​​fire that scorched the heavens and the earth. A crimson moonstone, the size of a head and full of holes, rose from the center of the sea of ​​fire like a crimson sun. Streams of azure light descended like thousands of branches, swaying gently and emitting boundless and majestic wood-elemental light. A small azure tree, several feet tall, took root and sprouted from it.

These were the two great opportunities for spiritual possessions he gained during his trip to the Immortal Palace in the South China Sea.

A massive surge of divine soul power erupted instantly, enveloping the two fifth-tier spiritual artifacts. It sensed the power of the two Dao-possessed objects while simultaneously investigating their true origins.

"Red Heart Moonstone, Heavenly Pattern Willow Wood!"

After a moment, Li Qing nodded slightly.

These two opportunities, like the Earth Spirit Saint Crystal, are pure fifth-order spiritual objects of heaven and earth, true objects for embodying the Dao.

"In this way, I now possess three complete Dao-entrusting artifacts!"

Before his trip to the South Sea Immortal Palace, his only most precious trophy was a wood-type artifact obtained from the Sealed Heaven Realm, but it was incomplete and was later used by him to help Mu Ziyu prolong her life.

"It's a pity that these three items of the Dao are useless to me; they can only be used as tokens of exchange!"

Although he thought this way, he also knew in his heart that the possibility of directly trading for the two great opportunities he needed—the innate spiritual water and the Dao-related items of the Water Abyss—was extremely slim.

The rarity of innate spiritual water far surpasses that of ordinary fifth-order Dao-attribute items. As for Dao-attribute items that resonate with the Dao of the Water Abyss, they are even rarer.

Just then, Li Qing suddenly noticed an incredibly intense gaze fixed on the Crimson Heart Moonstone.

Looking from afar, one could only see the Sky-Splitting Sparrow constantly flying over the distant island, its demonic eyes never leaving this fifth-order spiritual creature.

Seemingly worried about disturbing Li Qing's cultivation, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow was very well-behaved and did not actively reveal its power. However, its constant movement proved that it was excited at the moment.

Seeing this, Li Qing smiled.

It seems that because he rejected it last time, the Sky Sparrow did not take the initiative to ask for it this time, which is quite unusual.

"You want this fifth-tier spiritual treasure?"

The enormous demonic body of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow in the distance suddenly stopped, its demonic eyes widening in disbelief: "Master is willing to hand this over to me to devour?"

It naturally understood what such a serendipitous opportunity meant; it was one of the most valuable treasures in the entire sealed land.

"Of course not!"

Li Qing gently shook his head: "At least not now!"

In an instant, the Sky-Splitter hung its head in dejection and looked extremely listless.

"Master, do you really want to wait until my bloodline is revived and I fail the challenge before you are willing to train me?" Faced with such an opportunity, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow seemed to regain its senses and suddenly said very solemnly, "If Master is willing to train me, the challenge agreement from back then can be voided, and I am willing to follow Master in cultivation forever!"

In truth, it knew that the duel they made back then was no longer important.

Everything that has happened over the years has proven just how terrifying its master is. Even if its bloodline were to revive, it would probably have no chance of winning. So it would be better to submit sooner rather than later, so that it could be cultivated by its master.

"It seems you've learned that discretion is the better part of valor!"

Li Qing smiled and said, "There's no need for that. The duel we made back then still stands. If I don't even have the strength to defeat you, what right do I have to be your master!"

"As for this fifth-tier spiritual artifact, don't even think about it for now. Wait until you reach the late-stage peak of the fourth tier. With your current cultivation level, you simply can't refine such a treasure. Giving it to you now would just be a waste."

If it were a water-based artifact, he might consider keeping it. However, he didn't care too much about this fifth-tier Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, the Crimson Moonstone. If the Sky-Splitting Sparrow could realize its value, he would naturally be generous with it.

Throughout his cultivation, Li Qing has never been a petty person, especially towards his own people.

The Heavenly Star Turtle and the Purple Winged Flame Centipede are the best examples.

Although the strength boost from the two beast pets was meaningless to him, he did not give up on nurturing the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede and the Heavenly Star Turtle. The value of the opportunities and spiritual objects they devoured far exceeded their own strength.

"You don't need to worry, I will find suitable opportunities for you to help you grow faster."

Li Qing smiled and made his promise.

In fact, he had already made up his mind about the cultivation of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow. There was an opportunity within the sect that perfectly matched the Sky-Splitting Sparrow's cultivation path.

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and break through to the peak of the late fourth stage as soon as possible!" After receiving the promise, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow excitedly flew up and down.

Once it reaches the peak of its late-stage cultivation, the opportunity that belonged to its master will be itss.

"Let's practice in peace."

After dealing with the Sky-Splitter Sparrow, Li Qing began to encounter the opportunity he valued most.

call!call!
A blue spear-shaped light cluster appeared first. Even though it was shrouded in layers of seals, its vast and sharp aura of shattering energy began to erupt continuously, and the outer layers of seals began to collapse automatically.

In a short while, a blue spear about ten feet long began to reveal its true form.

The spear's shaft was a deep, dark blue, while the spearhead appeared to be carved from a blue crystal. It seemed rough, but every scratch revealed a flawless quality. Deep within, it exuded a broken, sharp aura, covered with countless tiny cracks.

laugh!laugh!
The space around the spearhead shattered automatically, as if it could not withstand such a vast and sharp edge.

Li Qing's heart stirred slightly.

The Heavenly Water Wheel Sea Dao Dao was operating wildly, and a vast and pure torrent of magical power began to emerge, covering the blue spear.

At the same time, a massive surge of divine soul power erupted, beginning to refine this pseudo-spiritual treasure, which came from one of the greatest opportunities of the South Sea Immortal Palace.

puff!puff!
The blue spear trembled incessantly, each burst causing the surrounding ocean of magical power to collapse, endless cracks slicing the entire ocean of magical power apart.

At the same time, Li Qing's spiritual power also began to encounter enormous resistance.

Although this blue spear had developed sentience, it still possessed its own spirituality, and its hazy blue Daoist radiance continuously erupted, blocking his divine soul power from entering.

"Crystal of Heavenly Curse!"

Without hesitation, Li Qing activated his divine soul trump card.

The endless curse runes evolved into a vast black mist that rapidly descended, constantly eroding the resistance from the blue spear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surrounding world resembled a shattered round mirror, riddled with cracks. Sharp, shattering energy continuously tore apart the majestic spiritual peaks below, causing them to collapse instantly.

As time passed, the world gradually returned to peace.

However, the once majestic sacred peak has long since vanished, turning into endless rubble that fills the deep valley below.

At this moment, only a young figure in a green robe, sitting cross-legged, and a blue spear about ten feet long remained silently suspended in the world.

"Mystic Crystal Sea-Shattering Spear!"

Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, a smile he could hardly suppress appearing on his lips.

Just as he had anticipated, this treasure had reached the level of a spiritual treasure.

"It happens to be a treasure for killing. With this, even if I face a powerful cultivator in the future, it will be enough to become a trump card in my hand!"

Although he can no longer fully realize the treasure's potential, it is enough for him.

He was not a true deity after all, and it was impossible for him to nurture it into a true spiritual treasure.

The next moment, Li Qing waved his hand gently.

The Mystic Crystal Shattering Spear suddenly fell from the sky. It seemed tiny, but it instantly triggered endless tremors. Looking around, the entire world shattered inch by inch.

After briefly verifying the power of the Mystic Crystal Shattering Sea Spear, Li Qing nodded in satisfaction.

The value of this item is naturally far above that of ordinary fifth-order spiritual objects, since it takes more than one type of fifth-order spiritual object to forge such a treasure.

"Will the remaining treasure bring me a new surprise?"

Li Qing's anticipation grew stronger.

Even compared to the Mystic Crystal Shattering Sea Spear, the other Soul Treasure was more important to him.

At any time, among treasures of the same level, those containing divine souls are always more precious.

In an instant, another blue spiritual cluster slowly emerged.

A hazy, indistinct halo of light burst forth automatically, causing Li Qing's mind to momentarily become disoriented once again.

The Heavenly Curse Crystal had already been activated again, firmly protecting his soul.

call!call!
A vast expanse of blue mist spread out, revealing a mysterious blue coral the size of a palm. At first glance, it seemed no different from corals in the deep sea, but it did indeed exude a different kind of special and magnificent divine power, as if it were a noble object between heaven and earth.

Eight feather-like tentacles, like its skeleton, sway gently, causing one's soul to tremble.

Compared to refining the Mystic Crystal Shattered Sea Spear, Li Qing was noticeably more cautious at this moment.

He had personally experienced the power of this extraordinary treasure.

call!call!
The layers of dark mist formed by the vast curse runes firmly protected his divine soul power, and then he actively fell towards the mysterious coral. The blue coral lit up on its own, and every wisp of hazy blue light began to burst forth with an unbearable divine power.

The familiar scene began to unfold again, but this time Li Qing was fully prepared.

The mysterious blue coral phantom that suddenly took root and grew from the depths of the soul was completely eroded by the vast curse runes before it could even mature.

Even so, Li Qing still encountered enormous difficulties.

Ultimately, he was still only at the late Nascent Soul stage. Although his combat power was formidable, his soul was still at the late Nascent Soul stage, making it particularly difficult for him to forcibly refine this soul treasure.

"open!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

His entire divine soul erupted once more, frantically urging the Heavenly Curse Crystal. The immense power of his divine soul was instantly swallowed up, and waves of weakness emanated from him.

Endless curse runes emerged once more, intertwining to form strands of black chains that began to forcefully break through the obstruction of the mysterious coral treasure.

As the soul grew weaker, the layers of light surrounding the mysterious blue coral finally began to dissipate.

Boom! Boom!
A booming sound came from the depths of one's soul.

The mysterious blue coral treasure suddenly lit up, and its feather-like tentacles swayed faster. However, at this moment, it began to exude a different kind of divine soul aura unique to Li Qing.

"Water-phase divine coral!"

"Forged from the spirit of a 100,000-year-old coral, it merges with the divine soul to transform into a coral statue. The spirit of the seed soul devours the power of the divine soul to condense the statue, thus annihilating the divine soul."

Various pieces of information related to this divine treasure quickly surfaced in Li Qing's mind.
