Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1648 Invitation

Dongxing Xuanhai.

Northern Demon Realm.

Since the defeat of the demonic faction in the battle decades ago, the Northern Demon Realm has become more peaceful than ever before, completely withdrawing from the western sea region and even abandoning all the spheres of influence that it had cultivated for a long time, and obediently retreating to the Northern Demon Realm.

In response to the Northern Demon Realm's show of weakness and retreat, the Eastern Star Profound Sea cultivation world, led by the Yuanji Palace, did not choose to press further, tacitly allowing the demonic faction to continue occupying the Northern Sea.

After all, although the entire demonic faction lost a peak late-stage Nascent Soul expert, it still retained considerable strength and was not a pushover that they could easily manipulate.

The remaining three Grand Elders at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and that demonic prodigy, Xuan Shi Demon Lord, alone constitute a terrifying force that cannot be ignored.

If we really push the Four Symbols Demon Sect to the brink, it might lead to even greater unforeseen events.

That's one of the legendary, infamous ancient demonic sects; they probably have other terrifying trump cards up their sleeves.

The current situation in the Eastern Star Profound Sea is a result that both sides have tacitly agreed to.

Headquarters of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

The pitch-black demonic light descended from the depths of the sky, like layers of barriers sealing and enveloping a black demonic island.

Meanwhile, deep within the Demon Island...

An unprecedented surge of primal, dark magic light erupted like a raging tide.

A young figure in black robes sat cross-legged, unmoved by the surging tide of primal demonic light.

A deep, dark aura of demonic energy slowly flowed from his body.

In an instant, the surrounding world seemed to twist, and a vast, primal demonic energy seeped into every tiny corner of space, resembling a demonic realm in a state of utter depravity.

Click! Click!
A faint chirping sound emanated from this all-consuming dark demon realm.

But all that could be seen was that on the handsome face of the young man in black robes who was sitting cross-legged, ancient and pure black demonic scales slowly grew. The dense demonic scales covered his face and accelerated their growth and spread to the surrounding area.

In the blink of an eye, the young figure in black robes had vanished, leaving behind only a black-scaled monster.

From afar, the seated black demonic scale body seemed to be a holy spirit born from the path of demons, exuding a noble and awe-inspiring aura that transcended heaven and earth. Each demonic scale seemed to contain endless demonic nature, making it impossible to look directly at.

A palm-sized black magic core flickered slightly, like a beating demonic heart. With each flicker, it would unleash a vast, pure, and ancient demonic power, like a heavy hammer, constantly forging the entire body of the Dark Demon Scale.

"As expected of the Celestial Demon Crystal!"

The dark, demonic scales slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of deep, black demonic pupils.

Since obtaining the Celestial Magic Crystal, Li Xuancai has finally fully refined it.

The Celestial Demon Flower, which condensed from the power of the vast and ancient Demonic Path, was of immense value to him.

As the seed of the legendary sacred flower of the demonic path, the Heavenly Crystal also nurtures another, even more boundless demonic power, which is the true opportunity for the primordial demonic core.

After this refinement, Li Xuan could clearly feel that the inner strength of the primordial demon core was becoming stronger, allowing him to further approach the peak of the late stage.

"If I were to encounter another opportunity of this caliber, it would allow me to directly advance to the peak of the late stage!"

A slight smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

Of course, he also knew that this was unlikely.

Such an opportunity to obtain the Heavenly Demon Flower seed is rare and hard to come by; it must be the Four Symbols Demon Sect's trump card.

The Four Symbols Demonic Sect may seem to occupy the name of an ancient demonic sect, but in reality it is just a branch that cultivates the Four Symbols Demonic Sect's inheritance. It is not the true ancient Four Symbols Demonic Sect and cannot possess unlimited trump cards.

"No matter what, we still need to find a way to get our hands on that Demon Summoning Ancient Melody passed down from the Primordial Demon Sect!"

"With the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect in hand, I can use its power to summon the power of the Demonic Dao from the depths of heaven and earth, helping me to reach the peak of the late stage more quickly."

Just then, a peculiar smile suddenly appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

"You've come to request an audience on your own initiative?"

"It seems that this fellow Daoist from the Burial Spring is about to take his leave and begin his attempt to break through to the peak of the late stage!"

The next moment, Li Xuan transformed into a black demonic rainbow and soared into the sky, heading towards the outer Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce meeting hall.

Inside the council hall.

Beside him, in a grey Taoist robe, the deathly-faced Zang Quan had been waiting quietly.

"Greetings, Chairman!"

As Li Xuan appeared and landed, Zang Quan took the initiative to bow and pay his respects.

"Fellow Daoist Zangquan, are you taking your leave?"

Li Xuan smiled faintly.

"Not bad!"

Zang Quan nodded frankly: "Thanks to the opportunity from the last great battle, I have now sensed an opportunity for advancement."

"I've come to bid farewell to the guild leader, intending to go into seclusion to break through to the peak of the late stage."

After receiving the promise from the alliance leader, he directly paid a visit to the Grand Elder of Yuanji Hall and others in his public capacity as a member of the Diyang Alliance. As expected, when the Grand Elders learned that it was the alliance leader's intention, they allowed him to enter and leave the battlefield on his own.

Even though he knew that he also practiced the Way of Death and was so similar to that person in the demonic faction, he never asked him anything.

It was precisely by taking advantage of the vast death power born in that battlefield of heaven and earth that he pushed his foundation to perfection in one fell swoop, thus sensing the opportunity to advance to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

"In that case, I must congratulate Fellow Daoist Burial Spring in advance!"

Li Xuan smiled and congratulated him, saying, "With your abilities, it won't be long before our guild produces its second peak Nascent Soul stage expert."

"Second place?"

Zang Quan was surprised at first, then nodded.

Indeed, given the unfathomable methods of this guild leader, who would dare to regard him as a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator?

Even the cultivation world of Dongxing Xuanhai had long regarded this president as a huge threat. In fact, the Grand Elder of Yuanji Palace ignored the Grand Elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect and chose to personally deal with this president, wanting to keep him on that battlefield.

"However, if Fellow Daoist Zangquan is not in a hurry, you might as well wait a few more days!"

Li Xuanfu said meaningfully, "A celebration will be held soon, and I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Zangquan will need to show up."

"celebration?"

Zang Quan made no attempt to hide the surprise on his face.

As the Supreme Elder of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, he naturally kept abreast of the Chamber's intelligence and had never heard of any major events that would occur in the near future.

"Could it be that another late-stage peak expert has emerged within the Four Symbols Demon Sect?"

Just as Zang Quan was secretly speculating in his heart.

Li Xuan smiled slightly and gently pointed into the distance: "They've already arrived!"

call!call!
But from a forbidden demonic island in the distance, an unimaginable eerie mist erupted, and a vast, chilling power instantly enveloped the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, the immense pressure unique to the late-stage peak of the fourth rank instantly manifested between heaven and earth.

"Peak late-stage Nascent Soul?"

Zang Quan's eyes widened slightly in an instant.

"How did a powerful expert at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage suddenly appear in the Chamber of Commerce?"

This scene was completely beyond his expectations.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce only recently gained one or two powerful Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators who came to seek refuge. How could a powerful being who has advanced to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage suddenly appear?

In an instant, Zang Quan seemed to realize what was happening, his gaze instantly shifting to the young man in black robes beside him, who wore a calm smile. "So the so-called celebration refers to this suddenly appearing late-stage Nascent Soul peak expert!"

At this moment, he naturally realized that the so-called recent advancement was probably just for show, and that the peak Nascent Soul stage expert must have secretly completed the advancement long ago.

No wonder this person just said that he is the second peak Nascent Soul stage expert to emerge from the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

"This person has been hiding their true abilities quite well!"

A complex emotion flickered deep within Zang Quan's gray pupils.

This heaven-defying demon from the demonic path is unfathomable in both strength and methods, and has secretly mastered a peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

He had personally witnessed the true power of this guild leader; the way he transformed into an ancient, demonic monster was unimaginable.

Not to mention the cultivation world of Dongxing Xuanhai, even the Four Symbols Demon Sect probably doesn't know the true terrifying strength of this person.

His actions on the battlefield were only a part of his true strength.

call!call!
The billowing ghostly mist transformed into a passage, descending from the sky, revealing a tall, mysterious ghostly figure.

"Greetings, President! Greetings, Fellow Daoist of Burial Spring!"

Now with a brand new identity, Hei Ming makes his first public appearance between heaven and earth.

"From this day forward, Fellow Daoist Hei Ming will also join the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce as a revered elder."

This is Li Xuan's latest scheme.

By having Hei Ming become a member of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce as a worshipper, he can both intimidate the Four Symbols Demon Sect and prevent the Four Symbols Demon Sect from being completely afraid to harm him.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Heiming!"

The burial spring was clasped in respect.

"I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Zangquan," Hei Ming grinned and returned the greeting. "I was able to advance because of the Guild Master's kindness. I'm afraid I will be working with Fellow Daoist Zangquan from now on."

"Fellow Daoist Hei Ming, you're too kind."

Li Xuan interrupted Hei Ming's hypocritical words with a smile: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Hei Ming on your advancement and joining our Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce."

"To celebrate this momentous occasion, I have ordered my subordinates to extend invitations to all directions to participate in the advancement celebration, and I have personally invited several Grand Elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect."

Several days later.

A piece of news shook the long-silent Northern Demon Realm.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, which already had two Nascent Soul late-stage peak level combatants, has once again produced a true Nascent Soul late-stage peak level expert.

The news was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of all the major demonic sects.

Even the Four Symbols Demon Sect, which is recognized as the master of the Northern Demon Realm, was plunged into unprecedented shock.

In this way, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is almost equivalent to the Four Symbols Demon Sect in terms of power. Except for the lack of a Grand Master, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is almost no less than any other top power.

It should be noted that since the fall of Elder Xu Xiang, the Four Symbols Demon Sect now only has three peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Besides the Northern Demon Realm, the news that the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce had once again produced a peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator also caused a huge sensation in the cultivation world of the Eastern Star Profound Sea.

The greatest victory of that battle decades ago was the killing of a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic expert.

Now, another peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged from the Demonic Path camp, restoring its strength to its former glory.

Just as the entire world of Dongxing Xuanhai was plunged into shock.

The headquarters of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce once again ushered in unprecedented prosperity.

Countless powerful figures from various demonic sects began to converge on the headquarters of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

Above the azure sea, a black demon island sits, its majestic demonic peaks all leveled, supporting a black jade plaza that blots out the sky.

Streams of demonic light, radiating immense power, appeared from every corner of the world and converged on the Black Jade Plaza.

In the center of Black Jade Square.

Three figures sat quietly, receiving the homage from representatives of various demonic sects.

The person in the center wore a pure black demonic robe, with a calm and serene expression.

On the left is Black Nether, who has now made a public appearance, while on the right is Burial Spring, who is still wearing a mask to disguise his identity.

"The Demonic Glow Bloodlight Sect has come to congratulate Elder Black Nether on his advancement to the peak of the late fourth stage!"

"The Blood Pattern Sect has come to offer their congratulations."

"."

Rare magical treasures were casually displayed as gifts on the outer perimeter.

Hei Ming seemed to thoroughly enjoy the continuous stream of worship and congratulations, grinning from ear to ear.

It possesses a powerful mind and naturally desires to appear in public and display its prestige.

Now it can finally step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight.

At that very moment.

A massive black magic ship sailed from the edge of the sea and landed at the Black Jade Plaza celebration.

"The Grand Elders of the Four Symbols Demonic Sect have arrived!"

Countless representatives of the Demonic Sect rose and bowed.

Li Qing, along with Hei Ming and Zang Quan, slowly rose to their feet.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Heiming, on your advancement to the late-stage peak realm!"

All three Grand Elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect who had been promoted appeared.

The moment the three of them saw Hei Ming's true form, a look of surprise flashed across their eyes simultaneously.

Unexpectedly, this late-stage Nascent Soul peak expert who suddenly joined the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce was actually a powerful ghost spirit.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi as well!"

The Grand Elder of the Devouring Underworld forced a smile: "Now your Chamber of Commerce's reputation resounds even more throughout the world!"

"Elder, you flatter me!"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Currently, the Chamber of Commerce only has one peak Nascent Soul stage expert, Fellow Daoist Hei Ming."

The faces of the three elders of the Devouring Underworld twitched slightly.

Is realm important? Of course it is, but the real key lies in strength.

The person before them appeared to be only at the late Nascent Soul stage, but his true strength was probably several times greater than that of a typical late Nascent Soul peak cultivator. As for the other mysterious gray-robed cultivator, he had also displayed the methods and power of a late Nascent Soul peak level cultivator.

It can be said that the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is now practically equivalent to having three peak late-stage Nascent Soul experts in charge.

"The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is too modest!"

Elder Shiming felt helpless, but could only continue to flatter him, saying, "Who doesn't know Fellow Daoist Xuanshi's reputation? There's no doubt about it."

"From now on, we will work together to take control of the Northern Demon Realm and jointly promote the revival of the demonic path."

At that very moment.

A new voice interrupted the group's pleasantries.

"The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department of the Ghost King Sect has arrived."
