Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1658 Action
Inside the council hall of the Qianshui Yuling Sect.

The three elders from the three major families of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, including Xue Ming, looked respectfully at the young figure in green robes sitting quietly in front of them.

"I have a task for you three fellow Daoists to perform!"

"Please give your orders, True Lord!"

Xue Ming and the other two stood up and bowed.

"I need to understand all the information and situation inside Tianbohai. The Chamber of Commerce will then increase its efforts to establish a presence in that sea area and gather intelligence on all the hidden forces surrounding it."

"Tianhua Island and Boguizong?"

"Including these two top-tier forces!"

Li Qing nodded calmly.

Tianhua Island and Bogui Sect are the two top powers that dominate the Tianbo Sea area, and are the controllers of the cultivation world in that sea area.

While the probability of the innate spiritual water being hidden within these two top-tier forces is the highest, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. After all, most forces in the Inner Star Sea have ancient backgrounds and foundations, so it is not impossible for them to possess innate spiritual water.

"understand!"

Ancestor Xue Ming nodded: "After the three of us return, we will immediately begin arrangements to concentrate all the resources of the Chamber of Commerce to station in Tianbo Sea and investigate the hidden secrets of the major forces in that sea area."

Throughout the entire operation, none of the three took the initiative to inquire about the reasons behind it.

As Li Qing's strength continued to increase, everything unfolded as he had imagined. The two sides had evolved from their original cooperative alliance into a new subordinate relationship, with the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce becoming a subservient follower.

Strength is the root of everything.

"This operation is related to my important future cultivation path, so it should not be easily revealed to the outside world for the time being!"

Li Qing did not bring up the matter of the innate spiritual water.

There are still many uncertainties surrounding everything, so it would be pointless to let the three of them know.

A moment later, the three patriarchs, Xue Ming and his companions, took their leave and began to arrange the follow-up actions of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Inside the council hall.

Li Qing sat quietly in the first seat, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Although the location of the innate spiritual water opportunity has been roughly determined, this is only the beginning.

The first thing to do is to determine which force possesses the innate spiritual water. If it belongs to an ancient sect or family, then it is naturally very simple, and with his current strength, he can easily obtain it.

However, the situation would be completely different if it were in the hands of those two top powers.

The value of innate spiritual water far surpasses that of ordinary fifth-order Dao-attribute items. Even in a fair trade, he would find it difficult to offer enough bargaining chips, not to mention that the other party might not be willing to trade.

Although he possesses formidable strength and methods, enough to disregard all risks below the level of a Grand Master, he clearly lacks the power to directly challenge a top-tier force with a Grand Master in charge.

Let's wait and see!

Li Qing's mind gradually calmed down.

Although the opportunity for innate spiritual water is urgent, it's not something to rush.

Before he has perfected the Way of Water Purification, he will not fall into a predicament of stagnation in his cultivation.

All that's left is to wait patiently.

Wait until the exact location of the innate spiritual water is determined before considering how to proceed.

Furthermore, he also needs to wait for the revival of Zhenhai Pearl, which will be the foundation for his subsequent actions.

"If the worst-case scenario ultimately occurs, I fear I will need to consider confronting powerful cultivators head-on ahead of time."

Dongxing Xuanhai.

The Northern Demon Realm, the headquarters of the Xuan Shi Merchant Guild.

Streaks of black demonic light shot into the sky, and the leader was dressed in a pure black Taoist robe. He had a young and handsome face, and his pupils were as black as ink, as if they were teeming with endless demonic power.

Just then, at the far end of the sea, a prestigious demon ship broke through the air and landed towards the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

"Welcome, Elder Shiming!"

As Heishan Yunqi's voice rang out, many demon lords from the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce knelt down and paid their respects.

"I'm so grateful for the Grand Elder's personal visit!"

Li Xuan, accompanied by Hei Ming, took the initiative to step forward to greet them.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi, you're too kind!"

The Grand Elder of the Underworld appeared to be smiling, but in reality, he was somewhat speechless.

The reason he was forced to come in person was that this person was unwilling to go to the Four Symbols Demon Sect to receive the inheritance of the ancient demon-summoning melody.

But looking at the increasingly profound young figure in black robes before him and the powerful ancient ghost spirit with a 'ferocious' grin beside him, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is no longer something that the Four Symbols Demonic Sect can suppress at will.

"Elder, please come in."

The three of them descended towards the Dark Demon Palace that had been prepared in advance.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi, this is the inheritance of the Ancient Demon Summoning Melody that the Sect Master specially instructed me to pass on to you!"

Inside the main hall, Elder Shiming got straight to the point and handed over the special inheritance that should have belonged to the Shimo Sect.

A special black magic stone, shaped like an open mouth, fell automatically towards Li Qing.

"Thank you, Holy Sect Master, and thank you, Grand Elder!"

Looking at the Demon Summoning Ancient Melody he had finally obtained, Li Xuan smiled slightly.

With the blessing of this cultivation aid from the Primordial Demon Sect, he is now a few steps closer to reaching the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Especially now that he is in the Land of Demon Origin, the power of this ancient demon-summoning melody will become even more prominent.

He was naturally aware that the Four Symbols Demon Sect was somewhat dissatisfied with him, after all, he had directly rejected their invitation.

But Li Xuan didn't really care.

After all, a wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall.

He couldn't possibly put himself in danger just to save face for the Four Symbols Demonic Sect.

Although on the surface the Four Symbols Demon Sect needs his help, no one can guarantee that the Four Symbols Demon Sect will not take the opportunity to attack him. Moreover, the extraterrestrial force behind the Four Symbols Demon Sect may be the Primordial Demon Sect. If his cultivation secrets are discovered, it will definitely bring many dangers.

"The sect leader personally instructed me to convey his message: He hopes that you, young friend, will soon reach the peak of the late stage and join hands with our Four Symbols Demonic Sect to restore the glory of the demonic path!"

"Thank you for your high regard, Sect Master. The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce will certainly do its utmost to assist the Holy Sect in strengthening the entire demonic path."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Elder Shiming took the initiative to speak with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xuanshi, are you aware of the major events that have recently occurred in the Star Sea?"

"Does the Grand Elder mean the Feathered Clan descending to the realm?"

Even without news of the original owner, given the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce's powerful network of connections, they would naturally be the first to know about the major events happening in this world.

"Exactly!"

The Grand Elder of the Devouring Netherworld nodded: "The sealing of heaven and earth is progressing at an increasingly rapid pace, and forces from outside the realm have begun to frequently intrude into the sealed land."

"The great chaos is rapidly approaching, and that will be a golden opportunity for our demonic faction to rise up."

After another statement, Li Qing and Hei Ming saw off Elder Shi Ming as he departed.

"Congratulations, Master! With the blessing of this inheritance, I believe you will soon reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Hei Ming turned around and began to flatter him.

"It won't be that fast!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly: "Although the bottleneck of the late-stage peak is not a big obstacle for me, I have only been in the late-stage realm for a short time, and I am afraid I still need some time to quietly hone my cultivation."

"However, this time certainly won't be too long!"

As if remembering something, Li Xuan's lips curled up slightly.

Once he reaches the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, with the blessing of the Ancient Demon Body, his strength will likely rival that of the original body. At that time, if they join forces, they will be able to sweep away everything.

"Challenging a Grand Cultivator? It's not impossible."

After Li Xuanling withdrew from Heiming, he descended alone towards the Demon Island deep within the forbidden area in the distance.

Inside the magnificent and imposing Demon Palace.

A black magic stone, resembling a gaping maw, kept lighting up.

Ancient, enchanting sounds rang out.

call!call!
The demonic power emanating from the entire world seemed to be summoned by some force, and began to accelerate its convergence towards the Demon Palace.

Li Xuan sat up cross-legged and continued to comprehend the ancient demon-summoning melody that was flowing into his soul.

As expected, when he was comprehending this special inheritance that originally belonged to the Primordial Demon Sect, he encountered almost no obscurity or obstacles, and everything went so smoothly.

The ancient, demonic sounds grew louder and louder, as if they could pierce through layers of spatial barriers and begin to summon the demonic power hidden deep within heaven and earth.

The vast darkness and demonic light grew ever deeper, converging into a torrent that descended from the heavens and gathered within the demonic palace.

The inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect is operating rapidly.

A vast expanse of demonic light, imbued with primal demonic power, shone forth, staining the entire island and transforming it into a dark, demonic realm.

the other side.

After arranging the actions of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, Li Qing also began to go into seclusion to meditate, comprehending the Dao of Water Purification while quietly waiting for the Zhenhai Pearl to revive.

Zhu Yuan Haiyu (a sea area).

On the vast, boundless blue sea, several large islands dot the landscape. From a distance, each island appears desolate, with bare mountains and ravines.

However, the continuous stream of spiritual light and rainbows has already proven the value of these islands.

These islands are renowned high-level spiritual mineral deposits within the Zhuyuan Sea.

Inside the grand hall deep within the massive central spirit island.

"Has the evidence been confirmed?"

Jin Kanyuan sat in the head seat, his seemingly gentle face concealing a coldness in his small eyes.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, the three Golden Core elders of the Huang family have been severely injured and killed!"

Upon hearing the words of the two Golden Core elders below, Jin Kanyuan subconsciously licked his lips, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

The promotion opportunity he had been waiting for finally arrived.

As long as he seizes the special heirloom of the Huang family, he can allow his mysterious beast sculpture to once again master a powerful and ancient earth-type demonic beast bloodline, thus helping him break through to the peak of the mid-stage realm.

"In the end, I couldn't resist my greed!"

Jin Kanyuan sneered inwardly.

He had been planning this for years, gradually luring the Huang family into the trap.

The Huang family probably doesn't know yet that the rogue cultivator they silenced back then was actually someone he had arranged long ago. The so-called hidden high-level spirit mine was also something he deliberately leaked to the Huang family through that rogue cultivator.

In recent years, he has intentionally arranged for his subordinates to avoid investigating that area, in order to leave the Huang family with an opportunity to make a move.

Now the opportunity has finally arrived—a chance to wipe out the Huang family in one fell swoop.

All the spiritual mineral veins in this sea area belong to the Thousand Waters Spiritual Sect, and anyone who steals them will be killed.

"You all must remain silent. I will personally lead the team to arrange the follow-up actions."

After letting the two Golden Core elders leave.

Jin Kanyuan's eyes flashed as he quickly went through the meticulous plan in his mind to ensure that nothing was overlooked.

The Huang family is also a powerful Nascent Soul family in the Zhuyuan Sea, with a peak mid-Nascent Soul expert and three Nascent Soul cultivators in charge. Once they make a move, they will quickly eliminate the threat and leave no chance for the other party.

The biggest hidden danger in this operation is not the Huang family itself, but Jintong Island, which is based in the Zhuyuan Sea.

As the master of this sea area, Jintong Island also has a powerful expert in the late Nascent Soul stage in charge. Moreover, the relationship between the Huang family and Jintong Island is extraordinary. It is possible that Jintong Island will intervene. Although the other party does not dare to openly disobey the orders of Qianshui Yuling Sect, it is not impossible that Jintong Island will take the initiative to report to the sect master or even the ancestor, trying to protect the Huang family.

"We cannot give Jintong Island a chance to intervene. We must wipe out the Huang family in one fell swoop before Jintong Island arrives!"

Jin Kanyuan's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

He didn't want to alarm the sect's Qingxuan Patriarch because of this matter.

Although based on his understanding of his ancestor, that ancestor would most likely support his actions, if this matter escalated, it would only prove that he was incompetent.

"Since they rejected my trade request back then, I'll just have to go get it myself."

A shrine token lit up quickly.

Jin Kanyuan began contacting several Nascent Soul experts from the Offering Hall, urging them to come and join him as soon as possible.

Although he is now the deputy head of the Offering Hall, Uncle Lü, as the head of the hall, rarely appears unless there is a major event. It can be said that he is the true power holder of the entire Offering Hall.

This is also why he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

He was worried that this would disappoint the old ancestor.

After all, the patriarch had personally appointed him as the leader of the sect's dark side. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could he have the face to continue to shoulder such an important responsibility?

After arranging everything, Jin Kanyuan sat in the main hall, a sense of excitement occasionally flashing through his mind.

"Junior Brother Zongjia is still a long way from the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. If I can break through first, I will become the third peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect, second only to Uncle-Master Lü and that Uncle-Master Yan!"

Thinking of this, countless ripples stirred in his heart.

Only by reaching the peak of the mid-stage can he become the number one among the third-generation disciples, and only then will he be qualified to get closer to that ancestor.

He knew perfectly well that the power and status he currently possessed were insignificant compared to the favor he had gained from that patriarch.

That ancestor is now a being who looks down upon the vast world of the Star Sea.

If he could gain that person's attention, it would be a great blessing for his future cultivation.

"Our ancestor is now almost invincible in the world. It will only be a natural progression for him to enter the realm of a great cultivator in the future."

"By then, with the Ancestor's strength, it will be even more unimaginable. If he intends to cultivate his subordinates, I can then catch his eye."

This is where Jin Kanyuan's true ambition lies.

Since the mysterious sculpture was revived, he has already set his sights on something much higher and farther.

"The late Nascent Soul stage is nothing; what I truly yearn for is to be a great cultivator who stands at the pinnacle of the world."
