Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1643 Choice
A corner of the Qingyuan sea area.

Endless streams of fire erupted from the depths of the sea, transforming into a true world of lava.

The raging flames, like a raging beast, surged into the sky, wreaking havoc on the heavens and earth.

Deep within the karst ocean, a massive, crimson, fiery island sits.

Boom! Boom!
With a series of booming sounds, the mountain peaks began to collapse.

However, several enormous demon kings of various shapes were seen traversing the island, launching continuous attacks and destroying the unique Spirit Peak Mountain Range.

A crimson, crystalline, earth dragon-shaped demon king, two to three hundred feet tall, opened its massive maw and unleashed a torrent of demonic flames that cleared away the scattered boulders.

The vast crimson spirit island is being rapidly transformed by several demon kings.

"These guys are really too weak!"

In the sky, a crimson demon sparrow perched in the air, its demonic eyes casually sweeping downwards.

"How could such a weak Heaven-Splitting Demon Palace be worthy of my noble sacred beast bloodline!"

As if it had thought of something, the Sky-Splitter's demonic eyes suddenly lit up, and then it opened its mouth and spat out a pale blue token.

"I am now the strongest under my master's command. If I waste time searching for a demon king to make a move, wouldn't that damage my master's reputation?"

After using up the token.

The Sky-Splitter once again commanded the five demon kings in the distance: "Speed ​​up!"

"After the island's environment is restored, then a palace will be built for me. If you delay my cultivation, you will face my wrath."

Several demon kings in the distance trembled with fear, their massive bodies shaking uncontrollably. They dared not be negligent in the slightest and began to fight desperately.

Boom! Boom!
A crimson tiger-shaped demon king directly rammed its massive demonic body into a spirit peak that needed to be cleared. The spirit peak instantly collapsed and crumbled.

The other demon kings also began to use their powerful physical strength to cleanse the spirit island.

Deep in the sea.

A massive, majestic blue spirit ship was constantly traversing the sea.

Inside the spirit boat, three figures were seated.

The leader was dressed in an earth-yellow Taoist robe, was slightly plump, and had a faint smile on his face.

"Elders, I have received orders from the Sect Master to proceed to the Firemelt Islands immediately!"

Jin Kanyuan smiled amiably and said, "If you two have nothing urgent to attend to, why don't you come with me?"

"Of course, it's entirely up to Master Jin to make the arrangements!"

The two elders at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm beside him nodded repeatedly with smiles on their faces.

Although the Golden Hall Master in front of them was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the two of them still showed awe in their every move.

As members of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect's Offering Hall, the two were naturally aware of the status of the person in front of them within the sect. He was recognized as one of the leading figures among the second-generation disciples, holding a prominent position.

Nowadays, apart from the lofty sect leader, the main people in charge of all affairs in the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect are the Golden Hall Master and another True Monarch.

These two second-generation disciples, one inside and one outside, wielded immense power.

For example, the person in front of us is mainly responsible for the external affairs of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect and serves as the deputy head of the Offering Hall.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble the two elders!"

Jin Kanyuan nodded with a 'warm' expression.

"Master Jin, you're too kind. This is simply our duty."

The two men dared not be presumptuous and repeatedly cupped their hands in greeting.

They had witnessed the methods of this person before their eyes. Although he seemed kind and often had a smile on his face, his methods were extremely ruthless. Countless sects and families had been destroyed by him. Moreover, whenever he appeared, he would wipe them out without leaving a trace. He had a fearsome reputation.

Besides their apparent status, this person, although seemingly only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, also possesses peak mid-stage combat strength, in no way inferior to the other two.

"The mount under the Ancestor's command - the Demon King!"

Thinking about the purpose of this trip, Jin Kanyuan couldn't help but feel a bit more curious.

He was originally leading two people from the Offering Hall through this sea area on business, but unexpectedly, the sect leader took the initiative to contact him and asked him to go ahead and pay respects to the powerful demon king under the old ancestor.

"Given the Ancestor's strength, this demon king's mount must also be of extraordinary power!"

As if he had thought of something, a deep sense of awe flashed in Jin Kanyuan's eyes.

The war that recently took place in the Eastern Star Profound Sea has already resounded throughout the world. The Ancestor single-handedly helped the cultivation world of the Eastern Star Profound Sea defeat the invasion of the demonic camp. It is said that he also killed a demon with unimaginable strength.

"Although the sect may not seem to have any great cultivators overseeing it now, in a sense, its power has already far surpassed that of most top-tier forces. All of this is because of our ancestor!"

Before even great cultivators could publicly reveal themselves, the Ancestor was the number one person in the world.

This has long been a consensus between heaven and earth.

As a member of the Thousand Waters Spirit Sect, and now one of the undisputed leaders of the second-generation disciples, he can be said to have achieved great success, with all kinds of opportunities and treasures seemingly inexhaustible.

"Our ancestor had the world in his heart. Not only did he never inquire about the opportunities I had, but he also entrusted me with important responsibilities!"

Thinking of that sect patriarch, Jin Kanyuan felt nothing but boundless gratitude.

Although that ancestor was once his junior brother, that is all in the past.

Even with the blessing of a mysterious opportunity, he dared not look at the path his ancestor had once walked; the two were worlds apart.

He is currently only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while that ancestor is already an invincible being in the world.

"But it'll be soon. The statue's power is reviving, and I'm not far from breaking through to the peak of the mid-stage realm."

Deep within the crimson, fiery sea.

"Disciple Jin Kanyuan, accompanied by two elders of the sect, has come to pay respects to the Heaven-Splitting Demon Lord!"

call!call!
A massive crimson phantom glided from the ends of the earth, dyeing the world red, its unimaginable heat almost distorting space itself.

"You are Jin Kanyuan's nephew?"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow instantly appeared in front of Jin Kanyuan and his two companions.

"This disciple is indeed Jin Kanyuan!"

Jin Kanyuan bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple has come on the orders of the sect leader!"

As he bowed, his gaze occasionally drifted to the busy scene of several demon kings on the island not far away, and a few thoughts began to surface in his mind.

"I have summoned you here today because there are some things I need you to do!"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow commanded without any politeness, "I now wish to construct a palace, but alas, I have no capable demons under my command."

"really!"

Jin Kanyuan nodded secretly; the result was exactly as he had guessed.

Just as he was about to take the initiative to express his opinion.

The next sentence left him frozen in place.

"Go and find two powerful late-stage cultivators for me, and have them capture some demon kings for me. The Rift Heaven Demon Palace needs to be rebuilt, so naturally it needs some demon kings to make an appearance."

"Me?" Jin Kanyuan was silent for a moment.

Although he holds some position, he is not yet qualified to mobilize two powerful figures.

Moreover, apart from the patriarch, there are no other late-stage Nascent Soul experts in the sect. There are only patriarchs and others who are in charge of the top Nascent Soul forces in various sea areas. He is not qualified to mobilize those people unless ordered by the patriarch.

"You can't even do this?"

The Sky Sparrow looked slightly surprised.

Two mere late-stage cultivators are nothing to mention, given the master's current power.

"Demon Lord, you are unaware!"

Jin Kanyuan instantly understood why the sect leader had sent him in person.

The powerful demon king's mount under the ancestor's command is clearly not a docile creature.

"Currently, apart from the patriarch, there are no other Nascent Soul stage experts in the sect. Although the Eastern Heaven and Earth cultivation world has a few powerful experts, they are all responsible for guarding various sea areas to prevent chaos from occurring."

Jin Kanyuan had no choice but to use his own cunning to 'politely refuse' the demon lord's order.

"So weak? Not even a single usable person?"

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow looked down at him and said, "You are truly blessed to be able to follow your master!"

"There is one more matter that needs to be reported to the Demon Lord!"

Jin Kanyuan quickly said, "There are very few demon kings hidden in the Qingyuan Sea. Most of them have been eliminated long ago. If the Demon Lord wants to expand the Demon Palace, it will be difficult to find many demon kings in a short period of time."

"What should I do?"

"Currently, only the outermost sea areas have more traces of demon king activity, such as the Bianyu Sea Area, because it is close to the Golden Demon Kingdom, and demon kings often appear there."

"Golden Demon Kingdom!"

As if it had thought of something, the Sky-Splitter Sparrow's crimson demonic eyes suddenly showed a hint of interest.

"Is it the demon kingdom that Master mentioned, with the Golden Sun Dragon Lord in charge?"

"That's right. The Golden Demon Kingdom has many powerful demons with dragon bloodlines. Besides the Golden Sun Dragon Lord, who is at the level of a great cultivator, there are also powerful figures like the First Venerable, who is at the peak of the late fourth stage."

After learning a brief overview of the Golden Demon Kingdom...

The Sky-Splitter Sparrow immediately changed its mind and became excited: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if I went directly to the outer sea to establish the Sky-Splitter Demon Palace!"

"Then it's impossible for the Golden Sun Dragon Lord to personally attack me."

If it can continuously annex the demon kings within the Golden Demon Kingdom, the Rift Heaven Demon Palace will definitely grow rapidly. With its master supporting it from behind, the Rift Heaven Demon Palace might even be able to replace the Golden Demon Kingdom in the future.

Jin Kanyuan, standing to the side, immediately felt a sense of unease.

This restless demon lord actually wanted to go to the outer sea alone to confront the Golden Demon Kingdom head-on, and also wanted to seize the Demon King to establish the Sky-Splitting Demon Palace.

"I hope the patriarch won't blame me."

In an instant, Jin Kanyuan hurriedly said, "Demon Lord, you should still be cautious. The Golden Demon Kingdom is terrifyingly powerful, with many strong individuals within its borders. I'm afraid the Demon Lord alone might not be able to overcome them."

"You underestimate me?"

The Sky-Splittering Sparrow proudly raised its head: "I possess the noble bloodline of a sacred beast, far surpassing the bloodlines of those trashy and filthy dragons."

"Furthermore, what can a mere First Venerable do to me?"

Seeing this situation, Jin Kanyuan could only shake his head inwardly.

He also realized that he was not qualified to persuade this demon lord to act, and could only report to the sect leader immediately.

"Alright, I will now discuss this matter with my master."

Haoming Sea Area.

As a sea area bordering the Haoyuan Demon Realm, it was originally within the territory of the Qingtian Sect, later fell into the hands of the Ghost King Sect, and now it has become a very special sea area in the entire Star Sea World.

The ways of the Witch Clan, which should have long since disappeared, are now gradually spreading throughout the Haoming Sea.

Especially in the central sea area.

The traces of cultivators are gradually disappearing, and one after another, witch tribes are becoming the new guardians of this world.

As the core area of ​​the Black Ming Witch Clan.

The Wu Clan's tradition has long since replaced the cultivation of immortality, becoming the absolute mainstream.

In the vast ocean, on almost every island where mortals gather, there are witch tribes. Black-robed young statues, comparable to mountains, are scattered between heaven and earth, receiving the worship of countless witches.

Deep in the azure sea, massive islands cluster together, resembling a small land world.

This place is the ancestral home of the Black Ming Witch Clan.

It is located in a sacred valley surrounded by majestic sacred peaks.

An infinite dark aura emanated a profound, all-consuming power, enveloping the entire Spirit Valley.

call!call!
Just then, the sound of flowing water began to emanate from the deep, silent darkness.

"The Way of Water Shamans!"

A calm voice, seemingly containing endless nothingness, slowly rang out.

Deep within the vast black aura, a slender young figure in a black robe sat quietly cross-legged, slowly opening his eyes.

Back then, he was able to break through to the late stage of the fourth tier using the Dark Witch Clan's Path, but at the last moment he chose to give up and return to cultivate the Water Witch Path, wasting decades of his life. Now, with his amazing comprehension, he has finally comprehended the Water Witch Path in one fell swoop.

"The moment of promotion has finally arrived!"

A smile appeared on Guan Ming's lips.

Only now do I realize that his choice was not wrong.

"Back then, because the Dark Witch Clan's inheritance was more complete and powerful, and because of that ancient dark ancestral rune, I ultimately chose to switch to cultivating the Dark Witch Clan's path, almost losing the Water Witch Clan's path, which was most compatible with me!"

The two lineages of the witch clan differ greatly in their foundations. The Dark Witch Path originated from an ancient witch clan powerhouse, while the Water Witch Path was left behind by the Yu Ding tribe and is quite ordinary.

However, it was only after he rebuilt the path of water sorcery that he felt the meaning of his own foundation being perfected.

"Moreover, there is no separation between the path of the Dark Witch Clan and the path of the Water Witch Clan!"

Guan Ming's smile widened; this was the greatest gain he had made from this period of seclusion.

As he rediscovered the Way of the Water Witch, he gradually began to realize that the Way of the Dark Witch Clan was perfectly compatible with the legacy left by the Yu Ding Tribe. As he continued to practice by comparing the two Witch Clan Ways, he also began to become more and more adept at it.

The next moment, Guan Ming gently waved his hand.

A long river automatically coalesced and took shape, encircling the entire valley like a dragon.

call!call!
In an instant, the boundless darkness that had enveloped the valley seemed to liquefy, rapidly converging towards the long river. Endless darkness filled every tiny drop of water.

A long river radiating endless darkness began to flow through the valley.

In the area it passed through, everything was rapidly turning into nothingness, and even space itself seemed to be constantly eroded, becoming increasingly thin.

"Everything within the Dark Witch Clan's heritage comes from that powerful figure. If I continue to cultivate along that path, I'll merely be picking up scraps from someone else's work. Now, with the blessing of the Water Witch Clan's heritage, I can forge a different path."

boom!boom!
The entire dark river suddenly collapsed, turning into endless black droplets scattered throughout the valley. An unprecedented darkness began to flow automatically.
