Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1616 The Transformation of the Eastern Star Mystic Sea
Eastern part of the Southern Lunar Sea.

The headquarters of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect in the center of the Qingyuan Sea.

Inside the ancient, blue-green council hall, a beautiful woman dressed in an elegant blue-green dress sat at the head of the table. Her aura was calm and peaceful, but her delicate brows occasionally revealed a touch of dignified and noble majesty.

"Sect Master Mu, our Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce's other three branches have now firmly established themselves in the Northern, Western, and Southern Regions of the Southern Moon Sea, and are gradually beginning to achieve full coverage."

As one of the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, the patriarch of the Qin family, who holds a prominent position, is currently reporting on the recent situation of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce in a humble manner.

"In addition, the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce has also begun to accelerate its expansion into the Inner Star Sea. Not long ago, Ancestor Qin Hua went to the Inner Star Sea and reached new cooperation agreements with some powerful families and sects."

As he spoke, the Qin family patriarch could not hide his excitement.

In just a few decades, the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, which was already a behemoth, has once again ushered in a leapfrog development and prosperity. It has not only begun to dominate the resource and spiritual item trading behind the scenes of the entire Southern Moon Sea, but has even achieved a goal that was once out of reach - to enter the Inner Star Sea World.

As the head of the Qin family, who controlled the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, he naturally knew that the root of all this lay with the person behind the beautiful woman in the blue dress in front of him, the master of the cultivation world in the eastern part of the Southern Moon Sea - the Qingxuan Ancestor.

If it weren't for that person's prestigious reputation, not only would entering the Inner Star Sea be difficult, but even expansion into the other three regions would face numerous challenges.

Thinking of that Qingxuan Ancestor, the Qin family patriarch's eyes revealed deep awe.

The experiences that Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce encountered while accelerating its expansion into the Inner Star Sea made him realize even more how terrifying that person was. Even those peak forces that stood in the Inner Star Sea and had Great Cultivator-level beings in charge were deeply afraid of that person, not to mention the other ancient forces.

After learning about the special relationship between Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce and Qingxuan Ancestor, those forces with conflicts of interest with Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce began to take the initiative to back down. No one dared to openly make things difficult for Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce; at most, they would try to obstruct it in secret.

"Patriarch Qin, there's no need for you to explain things to me in such detail!"

Mu Ziyu smiled and shook her head: "The development of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce depends entirely on your three families, so I naturally won't say anything more!"

"I believe my husband thinks the same way and won't interfere in your family affairs."

She was well aware of her husband's far-sighted vision; he would never care about the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce. In his eyes, the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce was nothing more than a pawn used to gather information and help him control the world.

Since her lifespan was extended, Mu Ziyu's mind has become more and more clear, and her former desire to hold great power has gradually faded.

Although she still holds the position of sect leader, she has begun to delegate more authority, leaving more decisions to Jin Kanyuan and Zong Jia.

"What about the new chamber of commerce's interests and some of its positions?"

The Qin family head asked cautiously.

"Please trouble Patriarch Qin to discuss these specific matters with Nephew Zongjia. I will not participate further!"

As they spoke, Mu Ziyu took the initiative to ask about the situation her husband was most concerned about: "Has there been any new changes in the Inner Star Sea in recent years?"

"In recent years, more and more major events have occurred one after another!" Patriarch Qin said solemnly, "Among the confirmed cases alone, many are related to the descent of ancient alien races into this world."

"The trend of various ancient alien races descending upon this realm is becoming increasingly apparent. According to the predictions of the elders within the Chamber of Commerce, it is feared that the Inner Star Sea will gradually descend into complete chaos."

"Before he went into seclusion, my husband said that he hoped the Chamber of Commerce could increase its efforts in information gathering, rather than simply pursuing profit."

At the last moment, Mu Ziyu reiterated her stance to prevent the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce from getting caught up in short-term gains and affecting her husband's cultivation plans.

"Sect Master Mu, rest assured, I will definitely report this matter to the elders of the Chamber of Commerce after I return."

"My husband has been gone for nearly thirty years. Although the cultivation world in the eastern sea is thriving and prosperous, the outside world seems to be becoming increasingly chaotic!"

Mu Ziyu slowly stood up, a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes.

According to the information she currently possesses, in addition to the Southern Moon Sea, not only is the Inner Star Sea about to descend into chaos, but the other three outer seas are also becoming increasingly chaotic.

After all, there are still many top human forces in the Inner Star Sea, as well as the mysterious Sea Lord's lineage suppressing the situation, so the overall situation is still under control.

However, the other three outer seas are completely different. The major powers that once controlled the order of heaven and earth have gradually lost control. For example, the ancient alien races that descended to the world each have powerful alien races at the level of great cultivators in charge, and they are not afraid of the major powers that once controlled the outer seas.

It can be said that if any mysterious force wants to stir up trouble, the best target is the four outer seas.

Just then, a burly figure in an earth-yellow Taoist robe landed outside the council hall.

"Disciple Jin Kanyuan greets Sect Master!"

"Nephew Jin, no need for formalities, please come in!"

Jin Kanyuan entered the main hall and respectfully bowed, saying, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the area bordering the Eastern Star Profound Sea has been fully prepared!"

"The various forces that were originally stationed there have begun to relocate to other major sea areas, mainly the Bianyu Sea Area and the Haoming Sea Area, freeing up many empty sea areas."

"You've worked hard, junior apprentice!"

Mu Ziyu nodded slightly: "The Eastern Star Profound Sea is in turmoil, and I'm afraid more and more sects and families will choose to flee. If we can bring some of these forces into our Eastern Sea cultivation world, it will inject new power into the development of this world!"

Although the cultivation world in the Eastern Sea is now thriving, the great calamities suffered by the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect have severely damaged the foundation of this cultivation world. It will undoubtedly take a relatively long time to fully recover. If we can absorb the power from the Eastern Star Profound Sea, it would be the best course of action.

"Sect Master, you flatter me. This is simply my duty!"

Jin Kanyuan's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Since receiving the promise from that patriarch, his status within the sect has risen steadily, and now he has almost begun to take full control of the sect's affairs together with that senior brother Zongjia.

Looking across the entire cultivation world, there are very few who possess such power with only a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation level, and he is one of them.

Moreover, the so-called power is not an empty concept. The Thousand Waters Spirit Sect controls the cultivation world in the eastern sea area, and the resources and spiritual lands it possesses are immeasurable. In a sense, all of these belong to its control.

"It seems that a new and great change is about to occur in the Eastern Star Profound Sea. My junior nephew must lead the Offering Hall to prepare!"

Mu Ziyu continued, "We must guard against the constant killing and fighting that will occur after the major powers enter."

"A huge change is about to happen!"

Jin Kanyuan's expression changed slightly.

He had previously thought that all the actions were the sect leader's foresight, but now it seems that the sect leader had probably already obtained detailed information.

"Sect Master, rest assured, this disciple will lead most of the Hall of Offerings to the border region to take command."

"Yes, besides these matters, niece, please don't let them interfere with your cultivation. Your husband's expectations for you go far beyond that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. You should make good use of the resources at your disposal and cultivate diligently."

After giving his final instructions, Jin Kanyuan left the council hall with great excitement.

For every disciple and elder of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect, gaining the favor of that ancestor is the greatest opportunity that surpasses everything else.

"The ambition of that demonic force is probably to devour the entire Eastern Star Profound Sea!"

Thinking of the message from that junior sister Yu Ling, Mu Ziyu couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

The demonic forces that once controlled the northern region of the Eastern Star Profound Sea have begun a full-scale invasion of the western sea region, and a new round of calamity is about to erupt.

"I wonder what the relationship is between the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce and my husband. That mysterious president of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is now infamous and his demonic power is widespread, second only to the Demon Food Sect." Just then, Mu Ziyu's eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

"Lingyi is also starting to work on breaking through to the peak of the mid-stage realm."

Eastern Star Xuanhai Northern Territory.

Headquarters of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

Beneath the sea shrouded in layers of demonic clouds, within a massive demonic island, countless jet-black demonic lights illuminate the heavens and earth, resembling dark tentacles from the abyss twisting the world and radiating primal demonic power.

"Is it finally coming?!"

In the floating hall at the center of the Demon Island, a young figure in black robes, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. The endless interwoven demonic patterns deep within his jet-black pupils gradually faded away.

"It seems the Four Symbols Demonic Sect has made ample preparations!"

A smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

In fact, he had been waiting for the Four Symbols Demon Sect to erupt.

Relying on long-term arduous training to improve his cultivation level is still too slow for him. Although his cultivation level has improved compared to before, he is still some distance away from the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. After all, he has only entered the late Nascent Soul stage for a little over a hundred years.

Therefore, if he wants to advance to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, he can only rely on external opportunities, and the Four Symbols Demon Sect, which has an extraterrestrial background, is his best target.

"The Western Seas may seem to be dominated by only the Heavenly Vein Sect, but the Central Seas' stance is now very clear, almost openly supporting the Heavenly Vein Sect. Once a full-scale war breaks out, that super sect in the Central Seas will inevitably intervene personally. The Four Symbols Demon Sect knows this, yet still wants to launch a full-scale expansion, clearly indicating that they have prepared a countermeasure."

This also means that the Four Symbols Demonic Sect is likely to use some powerful demonic means or external forces.

"It would be best to force the Four Symbols Demonic Sect to draw upon some powerful force!"

Li Xuan's smile widened.

For him, the Four Symbols Demonic Sect was where his opportunity lay.

"Now that I have begun to advance to the late-stage peak, once I emerge from seclusion, my strength will be unparalleled in the world. At that time, with my help from within and without, we will be able to sweep away the Four Symbols Demon Sect."

Of course, that's just the worst option.

In a sense, he didn't want the Four Symbols Demon Sect to collapse, as that would hinder his future plans. It would be better to severely damage it, forcing the Four Symbols Demon Sect to continue relying on the power from outside the realm, thus bringing him a continuous stream of opportunities.

"Let this war rage on!"

After a while.

Outside the Demon Island, a pale-faced, expressionless figure in a gray robe slowly appeared.

"Elder Zangquan, please come in!"

Layers of demonic cloud restrictions surged automatically, condensing into a black passage. Without the slightest hesitation, the Burial Spring fell directly into the island.

Inside the main hall.

"Greetings, Chairman!"

Zang Quan seems to have long since adapted to his current identity.

"It seems Elder Zangquan has made considerable progress over the years!"

Looking at the only Supreme Elder of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce who clearly cultivated the Way of Death but disliked killing, Li Xuan's eyes revealed an interesting glint.

This was the first time the two had officially met since inviting each other to join the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

However, judging from his aura, he is clearly even more extraordinary, and it is estimated that he has already approached the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"I have to thank the president for letting me join the chamber of commerce!"

Zang Quan unusually took the initiative to bow, saying, "Over the years, I have indeed gained a lot by utilizing the Chamber of Commerce's information channels and my current identity!"

It can be said that these few decades have saved him at least a century of arduous cultivation.

He is now beginning to hit a plateau in his career advancement.

"Did the president summon me here today because he needs my help?"

A sense of curiosity arose in Zang Quan's heart.

Having integrated himself into the demonic faction over the years, he had gained a thorough understanding of the person before him.

Since his rise from the Vast Yuan Demon Realm, the opponent has committed countless killings, with ruthless methods and a fearsome reputation. However, unlike those unscrupulous demons who slaughter the weak, the opponent has always acted according to his own principles.

This can be gleaned from his situation after joining the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

Since joining the Chamber of Commerce, the other party has always kept the agreement from back then, never taking the initiative to give him orders or contact him. Instead, they let him use the resources of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce without interfering.

"It's not necessary for Elder Zangquan to take action!"

Li Xuan smiled slightly: "Instead, we will act together."

"I believe this is an opportunity that Elder Zangquan has been looking forward to!"

"Is a full-scale war about to begin?"

A ripple of emotion suddenly appeared deep within Zang Quan's pair of gray, lifeless pupils.

An even more excited voice emanated from within him: "It's finally here! These demonic cultivators can't hold back any longer!"

"Hahaha!"

"My dear master, your opportunity for advancement is about to arrive."

Ignoring the constant shouts in his mind, Zang Quan calmly asked, "What does the guild leader need me to do?"

"Just as promised back then!"

Li Xuan smiled faintly: "At the crucial moment, you only need to cooperate with me!"

This was also his purpose in inviting Zang Quan to join the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, so that they could cooperate with his actions.

He couldn't reveal his true strength in front of the Four Symbols Demon Sect, which would inevitably cause him some inconvenience. With the addition of Zang Quan, he was spared some trouble.

Although the opponent has not yet broken through to the late-stage peak realm, his true strength is no less than that of a typical late-stage peak Nascent Soul expert.

"I believe Elder Zangquan will be able to obtain everything he desires on that battlefield."
