Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1631 The Opportunity of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame
Qingyun Island.

Deep within a massive, crimson peak radiating an aura of intense heat.

Squeak! Squeak!
With a sharp and excited cry, a powerful and ferocious aura swept out.

A streak of crimson light shot into the sky and quickly descended towards Li Qing's shoulder.

Suddenly, the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede that had just appeared stopped hissing, and its three pairs of thin wings spread out instantly, assuming a fighting stance, and began to stare intently at the Sky-Splitting Sparrow on Li Qing's left shoulder.

"Is this the opportunity that Master has given to Jiutian?"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow stared at the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede with equal excitement, its demonic eyes filled with greed.

"My master is so kind, preparing such excellent tonics for me!"

Fire-type spirit insects have always been the favorite food of the Sky-Splitter Sparrow lineage. Not only can they enhance strength, but they can also purify the bloodline within the body.

"Although this fire-type spirit insect with its extraordinary bloodline is only at the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth rank, it seems to contain another special kind of spiritual flame power within its body. That power seems to be very compatible with my own sacred beast bloodline."

Looking at the chattering and excited Sky Sparrow, Li Qing shattered its beautiful fantasy: "You're overthinking it!"

"The Purple-Winged Flame Centipede isn't meant for you to devour!"

Although the Purple Winged Flame Centipede has long become dispensable to him now, it has been with him since he was weak and has gone through life-and-death battles with him in the early stages of his cultivation, solving many problems for him during that time.

He was reluctant to hand over the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede to the Sky-Splitting Sparrow to devour.

Moreover, Li Qing had expended considerable resources to cultivate the Purple Winged Flame Centipede, and it was neither reasonable nor emotional for him to easily give it up.

"Aren't you going to give me any?"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow instantly became anxious: "Master, there is a spiritual flame power within it that is very compatible with mine. It might be able to help me complete my bloodline revival faster!"

"Only if Jiutian can reach the late-stage peak of the fourth rank as soon as possible can he better serve his master. This item is only at the mid-stage peak of the fourth rank, and can be said to be of no help to his master."

Although the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede was mindless, it could clearly sense the 'malice' emanating from the Sky-Splitter Sparrow and kept emitting warning hisses.

Strands of purple spirit flames intertwined, and on a pair of thin black wings, a cluster of black spirit flames burned, causing the surrounding space to subtly distort.

"What kind of spirit flame is that?"

The Sky-Splitter stared intently at the cluster of black spiritual flames, its demonic eyes gleaming with greed and excitement.

"Spatial attribute? That spiritual flame actually contains some kind of spatial attribute?"

"Such spiritual flame power is perfectly compatible with me."

Li Qing, no longer wanting to argue, said directly, "The opportunity I promised you back then is inside the Purple Winged Flame Centipede!"

The next moment, the Purple-winged Flame Centipede, having received the command, instantly quieted down and then opened its mouth to spit out a reddish-black bead.

call!call!
The moment the dark red orb appeared, the surrounding world instantly became scorching hot.

Even with layers of mysterious seals, the immense power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame's origin began to penetrate the seals, releasing a unique pressure.

This item is the very Void Spirit Heavenly Flame that he and True Lord Huo Rong took away together back then. After True Lord Huo Rong destroyed its spirituality, he split the original power of that Void Spirit Heavenly Flame in two. This crimson-black bead contains half of the original power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame.

"This item is called the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame, a special kind of spiritual fire born in the endless void, which has a restraining effect on the Dao of Space."

In fact, Li Qing had already thought of the opportunity presented by the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame after he subdued the Sky-Splitting Sparrow.

This Heavenly Flame is both a fire-type spiritual flame and contains the Dao of Space, making it extremely compatible with the attributes of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow.

However, at that time he had just subdued the Sky-Splitter Sparrow and did not know much about it. In addition, he had to rush to the Xuan Nan Continent to meet up with Baili Luo, so he did not immediately hand over the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame to the Sky-Splitter Sparrow.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Sky-Splitter jumped excitedly on Li Qing's shoulder.

It could clearly sense the immense fire elemental power contained within the crimson-black orb in front of it, coupled with its compatibility with its own sacred beast bloodline, making it an absolute great opportunity.

"Nine Heavens will never let its master down. With this Void Spirit Heavenly Flame, I can reach the late-stage peak realm much faster."

"I'll pass this opportunity on to you!"

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow couldn't wait to rush out and swallow the crimson-black bead in one gulp.

call!call!
The Sky-Splitter let out a cry, and a continuous stream of black spiritual flames poured out from its body, as if it wanted to completely melt it.

The power of the ethereal heavenly flames caused the surrounding space to become increasingly distorted.

However, at this moment, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow suddenly spread its wings, and its crimson demonic feathers shone even brighter, like giant mouths, frantically devouring the power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame.

Over the years, although the Purple Winged Flame Centipede has been cultivating with the help of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame, its strength is insufficient. It has never taken the initiative to break the seal and release the vast original power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame that has been sealed layer by layer. The Sky-Splitting Sparrow is different. It not only has a powerful and ancient sacred beast bloodline, but has also entered the late stage of the fourth rank. It is fully qualified to forcibly refine the power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame.

"Unbeknownst to us, the forces under our command have grown considerably!"

A smile appeared on Li Qing's lips.

Once the Sky-Splitter Sparrow masters the power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame, its formidable strength will be further enhanced, giving it combat power comparable to the peak level of the late stage.

It should be noted that back then, True Monarch Huo Rong of Fuling Island also achieved his final breakthrough and entered the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage by relying on the other half of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame's original power. This is enough to prove the vast power contained in the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame.

Besides the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, the Blood Spirit Flood Dragon also possesses peak combat power in the later stages due to its unique cursed dragon bloodline, a naturally occurring species.

The remaining weakest, the Heavenly Star Turtle and the Purple Winged Flame Centipede, are both at the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth rank.

Even without his personal intervention, his beast pets alone are enough to contend with the top forces in the outside world.

Not to mention, within the Eastern Star Profound Sea, there is also the Ghost King Hei Ming, who is about to break through to the peak of the late fourth stage.

"If it weren't for the rapid changes in the world, I'm afraid I would be able to enjoy a peaceful retirement in due time."

At that very moment.

In the distance, a thick, silver river of starlight power cleaved through the heavens and earth.

"Owner!"

The Heavenly Star Turtle also awoke from its slumber and came to pay its respects.

I have some good news to tell you!

Looking at the Heavenly Star Turtle that had accompanied him since childhood, Li Qing chuckled softly, "That Star Lord promised to let you go to that ancient star world to cultivate when you break through to the late stage of the fourth rank."

After helping Xinggong resolve the crisis back then, the patriarch of the Xinghao Tianma lineage, the Star Lord, personally made a promise to express his gratitude.

In this way, the opportunity for the Heavenly Star Turtle to advance to the later stage has appeared ahead of schedule.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

The Heavenly Star Turtle also seemed very excited.

It was the star beast bloodline that was revived in that small star world back then, so it naturally understands that there are extraordinary opportunities hidden in that small world.

"Little guy, you'll probably have to rely on your own efforts!"

Looking at the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede that had returned to calm on his shoulder, Li Qing chuckled.

Logically speaking, given the current foundation of the Purple Winged Flame Centipede, it should also be qualified to break through to the later stage, but it is estimated that it will take a relatively long time.

The cultivation speed of the Spirit Insect lineage is inherently slow. It was only because the Purple Winged Flame Centipede devoured numerous opportunities that it was able to reach the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth rank so quickly.

Squeak! Squeak!
The Purple-winged Flame Centipede responded with a hiss.

"Master, have you forgotten your disciple?" He Yang smiled and said, "Once I reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I will be able to further awaken the auspicious beast bloodline within me, and then I can help them refine their bloodlines."

"I almost forgot about Yang'er's innate supernatural ability!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head: "With Yang'er around, these guys' future promotions will probably be as easy as divine intervention."

"After all, that's the bloodline of a mythical beast that even the Nine Heavens Demon Sea was willing to pay the price for early."

The three then left behind the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, which was refining the power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame, and instead landed in a courtyard on the mountainside of the distant Spirit Peak.

"Husband, did you gain anything from your trip to the Xuan Nan Continent?"

Li Qing lay leisurely in the rocking chair, while Mu Ziyu gently massaged him with her jade-like hands, asking curiously.

"It was just a modest gain!"

"It's just three items for attaching to the Dao and two pseudo-spiritual treasures," Li Qing said casually, waving his hand.

"Three items for conveying the Dao?"

Mu Ziyu's small mouth opened slightly, and her beautiful eyes widened a bit.

He Yang, standing to the side, was equally astonished. He hadn't expected that his master would not only advance in rank during his trip to the Xuan Nan Continent, but also gain such an extraordinary amount of wealth.

That is the rarest opportunity in this world – a treasure for the Dao.

"A pseudo-spiritual treasure?" He Yang couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Master, what is a pseudo-spiritual treasure?"

"It is actually at the level of a true spiritual treasure, but it has not been nourished by the Great Dao of a Nascent Soul True Venerable, and therefore cannot develop spirituality."

Li Qing waved gently.

A beam of blue light shot out instantly – the Mystic Crystal Shattering Sea Spear.

He Yang stared intently at the ancient blue spear, which was only about ten feet long. The spearhead looked like a piece of mysterious blue crystal that had been roughly carved, and upon closer inspection, it contained countless cracks.

Although the blue spear did not emit any aura, the space at its tip was constantly tearing apart.

A look of shock appeared on He Yang's face. With his powerful innate spiritual sense, he could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the blue spear.

This treasure comes from the Celestial Palace of the South Sea.

At that moment, Li Qing also shared the affairs of the Xuan Nan Continent with Mu Ziyu and He Yang.

"I never imagined that my master would encounter an ancient alien race descending upon this realm!"

He Yang's face grew more serious: "In recent years, the descents of ancient alien races into our realm have become increasingly frequent. In addition to the Inner Star Sea, the other two outer seas have also experienced such descents."

"Given time, those forces from outside the realm will be the source of chaos in the sealed land!"

Li Qing nodded slightly.

"As the seal continues to dissipate, if the world can accommodate the public appearance of great cultivators, the entire human cultivation world will likely find it difficult to maintain its absolute dominance."

This is also a question he has been thinking about.

Judging from the current situation, even among those at the same level of great cultivators, there are differences in strength. Those great cultivators from other races who descended to this world representing ancient alien races are definitely the best among them. The reason is simple: they are from outside the world and have long since comprehended a more complete understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and strive to share Master's burdens and difficulties as soon as possible!"

Feeling the urgency, He Yang expressed his stance.

"It's alright!"

Li Qing smiled faintly: "You and Ming'er don't need to be reckless. Just proceed steadily along your own path of cultivation."

"I have my own solution!"

He wouldn't place his hopes on his two disciples, even though they were both quite capable, they were still a long way from being able to contend with a powerful cultivator at the Grand Master level.

"Besides, that moment is still far off. Although I have entered the late-stage peak realm, I will not stop here. There is still plenty of time."

To outsiders, the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage might seem like the limit of strength and realm, but for him, it was not.

He still has enormous room for improvement. His cultivation of the Heavenly Water Dao Scripture has not yet reached its limit, the final cycle of the Sea of ​​Wheels has not yet been opened, and the Water Purification Dao represented by the Pure Spirit Holy Water has not yet been perfected.

With the Zhenhai Pearl as his support, challenging opponents of higher levels is not difficult for him.

While the master and disciple continued to discuss the situation of heaven and earth.

Chirp!

A scream came from outside.

"Master, spare me! I dare not do it again!"

The Sky-Splitter appeared, swaying as it begged for mercy.

"Now that you have joined my ranks, you must abide by the rules and not even think of killing your fellow disciples!"

Looking at the disheveled Sky Sparrow, Li Qing said calmly.

"Rest assured, Master, Jiutian will never again dare to harbor greedy thoughts towards that insect."

Seeing this, Li Qing slowly dispelled the mark that had been activated to activate his soul.

Just now, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, true to its nature, had barely begun to refine the power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame when it immediately began to covet the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede.

After all, fire-type spirit insects are extremely tempting to the Sky-Splitting Sparrow lineage; it's an instinct etched deep into their bloodline.

"Master, you can rest assured that Jiutian will take good care of that insect from now on and will absolutely not have any further improper thoughts."

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow, filled with fear, repeatedly assured them.

"take care of?"

Li Qing curled his lips slightly: "You'd better stay away from the Purple-winged Flame Centipede."

Although the Sky-Splitter can obey his orders for now, there's no guarantee that one day it might suddenly regain its bloodline, lose its mind, and swallow the Purple-Winged Flame Centipede whole.

"Now that you have absorbed the power of the Void Spirit Heavenly Flame, find a place to cultivate and refine it completely as soon as possible."

"Can I leave this place and cultivate on my own?"

The Sky-Splitter instantly forgot the pain in its soul and began to get excited.

"Whatever!"

Li Qing didn't actually intend for the Sky-Splitting Sparrow to stay in the sect to cultivate.

This demon's nature is not yet extinguished; once his restraint is gone, he might cause some trouble.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Master!"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow excitedly said, "Nine Heavens plans to find another cave dwelling to rebuild the Sky-Splitter Demon Palace, ready to answer the master's call at any time."

Li Qing waved his hand gently.

A token fell towards the Sky-Splitting Sparrow.

"You must not disturb the cultivation world at will. This is your identity token. Ziyu will clear out the sea area around your cave dwelling later."

"Thank you, Master; thank you, Mistress."
