Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 810 Disciples of the Wangyue Sect

Nine years later.

In the southeastern part of the Five Spirits Sea, there is a special marshland called Jinshui Marsh, which covers an area of ​​thousands of miles.

It is special because the Golden Water Marsh is formed by the fusion of two spiritual abysses: the Metal Spiritual Abyss and the Water Spiritual Abyss.

In the Five Spirit Sea, although there are nearly a hundred different spirit abysses, they are basically mutually repulsive and far apart. Each spirit abyss is surrounded by only a single elemental attribute.

The two spiritual abysses in Jinshuize not only appeared at almost the same time, but were also close to each other.

After the two spiritual abysses were reborn, they began to interact violently with each other.

More than a hundred years later, the two spiritual abysses merged directly into one, forming this vast Golden Water Marsh.

This place is truly a treasure trove, containing not only numerous spiritual veins of both metal and water attributes, but also many precious spiritual objects of both attributes. It is a land of abundant resources and natural wonders.

In the heart of Jinshuize lies a sacred mountain—Jinshui Mountain.

This mountain can be said to gather the essence of Jinshuize, and every once in a while it produces some extremely precious spiritual liquid, called Jinling Xuan Liquid.

This kind of spiritual liquid is priceless for cultivators with both metal and water spiritual roots.

Even simply absorbing this spiritual liquid can greatly improve one's cultivation level. Furthermore, if a cultivator below the Core Formation stage takes it, it can have an extraordinary effect of enhancing their cultivation aptitude.

This spiritual liquid can also be used as the main ingredient to refine some legendary elixirs and medicines, with endless uses.

This precious land was naturally under the direct control of the Tianyan Sect, the overlord of the Five Spirit Sea, before this.

However, about three hundred years ago, the Tianyan Sect ceded this Jinshui Marshland to several other sects.

Firstly, because Jinshuize has existed for thousands of years, and its high-level resources have been almost fully developed.

Secondly, because these major sects had made great contributions in the fight against the sea race and the demon race on the front lines, the Tianyan Sect used this as a reward.

The front line refers to the southern edge of the Five Spirit Sea, which is also the area where the Spirit Abyss is most densely distributed, and where the Tianyan Sect and several powerful tribes of the Sea Clan and Demon Clan are most fiercely fighting.

The Tianyan Sect even built a colossal city there—Tianque City—that was famous throughout the entire Nine Dragons Sea, to counter the two sides.

These three major sects are Sword Cauldron Sect, Sea Cloud Sect, and Heavenly Water Sect.

They are all Nascent Soul sects, and none of them are ordinary Nascent Soul sects supported by only one Nascent Soul cultivator.

Each of these three major sects has a number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Sword Cauldron Sect, in particular, is a sect dedicated to sword cultivators.

Not only are there four Nascent Soul cultivators, but the strength of Nascent Soul sword cultivators is also above that of other cultivators of the same level, so the overall strength of this sect can be said to be extremely strong.

Even so, in the Five Spirit Sea, the Sword Cauldron Sect can only be considered as the second tier.

There are at least ten other sects in the Five Spirit Sea whose strength far surpasses that of the Sword Cauldron Sect.

Of course, the Heavenly Evolution Sect, the overlord of the Five Spirit Sea, is in a league of its own.

This is naturally due to the unique advantages of the Five Spirit Sea, which results in an exaggerated proportion of new cultivators with excellent spiritual roots in the Five Spirit Sea.

Therefore, although the total number of cultivators in the Five Spirit Seas is less than that in the other eight sea regions, the number of high-level cultivators, such as Nascent Soul cultivators, is actually greater.

The three major sects of Jinshuize have always stood together and were very united. Together, they constitute a force to be reckoned with in the entire Five Spirits Sea.

Especially eight years ago, Jinshui Marsh welcomed the addition of another Nascent Soul force.

This force is the Wangyue Sect, and its predecessor was the Wangyue Trading Company of Leiminghai.

Within a year of the end of the conflict between Qiyuan Island and the Jinglin Tribe over the Golden Abyss, the Wangyue Trading Company quickly moved from Qiyuan Island to Jinshui Marsh, becoming the fourth Nascent Soul sect in the area.

The other three major sects reportedly agreed because the Wangyue Trading Company somehow persuaded the Tianyan Sect and obtained their approval.

Secondly, it is said that Wangyue Trading Company also paid a huge price for these three major sects, so the three major sects all agreed to allocate another area in Jinshui Marsh to Wangyue Trading Company.

Subsequently, the Wangyue Trading Company established its own sect and renamed itself the Wangyue Sect.

Of course, his business was not abandoned either, but the focus of his operations was moved from Leiming Sea to Wuling Sea.

It is said that the three major sects, including the Sword Cauldron Sect, also have shares, which is an important reason why they were able to agree.

However, the relocation of the Wangyue Sect did not come without a price.

The Feng and Tang families, who co-founded the Wangyue Trading Company, did not agree to the company's relocation, so they chose to stay on Qiyuan Island and jointly established another trading company.

These two companies are not to be underestimated; together they have three Nascent Soul cultivators and a large number of Core Formation cultivators.

Even with the split, the Wangyue Sect was still quite powerful, with three Nascent Soul cultivators remaining.

Previously, Cangya Zhenjun, one of the three strongest figures on Qiyuan Island, along with his son Mingguang Zhenjun, and another Nascent Soul guest elder from the merchant guild.

There are also dozens of Core Formation cultivators.

However, compared to the other three major sects, the Wangyue Sect is still slightly weaker overall.

Therefore, since its founding, the Wangyue Sect has been recruiting disciples extensively.

Although it is a newly established sect with insufficient foundation and its strength is not comparable to the other three.

However, since the Wangyue Sect originated from a merchant guild and has accumulated extremely rich resources, the treatment it provides to its disciples is actually among the best of the four major sects.

Therefore, whenever the Wangyue Sect recruits disciples, many rogue cultivators flock to it. On this day, the Wangyue Sect's three-day disciple recruitment ended once again.

Of the hundreds of rogue cultivators who came to try their luck, more than twenty became new disciples of the Wangyue Sect.

After a process of allocation, these disciples were assigned to various peaks and halls.

A streak of yellow light flew out from Huanxing Peak, where the Wangyue Sect's administrative hall was located, and slowly headed towards Jinshui Marsh.

At this time, the mountain gate of the Wangyue Sect was located in the northeast of the entire Jinshui Marsh, surrounded by more than a dozen continuous spiritual mountains.

The Wangyue Sect spent a huge amount of money to integrate the spiritual veins of these sacred mountains, greatly improving the quality of the spiritual veins. The best spiritual veins even reached the middle grade of the fourth rank.

"Junior Nephew Li, congratulations on joining our Wangyue Sect. Perform well in the future and strive to become an inner disciple of our sect as soon as possible."

Within this yellow light was a yellow, round, bowl-shaped magical artifact, several meters in size, upon which stood two male cultivators.

Both were dressed in light blue standard robes, with a full moon pattern rising high on the sea on their right chest.

One of them was about thirty years old, with a fair complexion and a faint smile; he was a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

The other was a young man in his early twenties, with slightly dark skin and unremarkable appearance, who was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Upon hearing this, the dark-faced youth immediately looked flattered and hurriedly said, "Then thank you very much for your kind words, Uncle Liu."

The fair-skinned cultivator smiled and said, "Nephew Li, you don't need to belittle yourself."

Although you only have three spiritual roots, and your spiritual root aptitude is relatively weak compared to other disciples with the same three spiritual roots, your spiritual plant cultivation technique is outstanding, even earning high praise from Senior Brother Gao.

That's why I went to great lengths to get you to take it over, hoping you can take good care of that medicinal herb garden and not disappoint me.

Moreover, although tending the spirit herb garden is hard work, if you perform well, you'll definitely earn a lot of sect contribution points, which might help you advance to an inner disciple sooner.

Upon hearing this, the young cultivator nodded vigorously, his face filled with longing.

The fair-skinned cultivator smiled slightly and said no more.

The dark-faced youth looked down at the beautiful swamp below, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

This dark-faced young man was none other than Ning Fa.

He used the alias Li Yan, a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, to infiltrate the Wangyue Sect and become a disciple once again.

Having used all three of Yi Ling's masks, he was now using another advanced disguise technique he had obtained from the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor.

With his powerful divine sense, he easily disguised himself as a cultivator with three spiritual roots.

In the Cangyuan cultivation world, having three spiritual roots would be considered a very good medium-level spiritual root.

However, in the Five Spirit Sea, three spiritual roots can only be considered ordinary spiritual roots, while four spiritual roots and pseudo-spiritual roots are even rarer.

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Ning Fa's eyes.

Nine years have passed since he left Qiyuan Island.

Back then, he and Su Wanwan spent more than half a year crossing the desolate sea between the Thunder Sea and the Five Spirits Sea without any major incidents, and finally arrived at the Five Spirits Sea.

Then, with Su Wanwan's help, Ning Fa began searching for the Fire Spirit Pearl.

The process was far more arduous than Ningfa had originally anticipated.

Unexpectedly, the two places Su Wanwan knew that might have yielded the Fire Spirit Pearl no longer contained this treasure.

Left with no other choice, Su Wanwan took Ning Fa to a treacherous place called the Melting Yuan Fire Cave.

This place is similar to the Thunder Abyss near Qiyuan Island, a place that is dangerous even for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Deep within this fiery abyss, Ningfa finally obtained a portion of the Heavenly Flame Essence.

Although it is not a Fire Spirit Pearl, it still meets the requirements for constructing the Transformation Thunder Pool.

The process was incredibly perilous. The two encountered a powerful Flame Demon comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, and even faced formidable innate restrictions.

Thanks to Ning Fa's astonishing strength, coupled with Su Wanwan's endless stream of treasures, they were able to overcome the difficulties one by one.

It took Ningfa nearly five years to emerge from the fiery pit and, together with the two places he had explored before, to complete the journey.

In this way, Ningfa's last missing pure elemental spiritual object was completed.

Su Wanwan originally wanted to continue following Ning Fa until he achieved Nascent Soul stage.

However, Ningfa did not want anyone to follow him during his Nascent Soul formation process, so he temporarily parted ways with her.

Ningfa made a promise to her that he would go to a place in the Five Spirit Sea to find her after he formed his Nascent Soul.

Then Ning Fa spent more than three years traveling to various areas of the Five Spirit Seas, and finally collected all the auxiliary materials he needed to build the Transformation Thunder Pool.

With everything prepared, he arrived at Jinshui Marsh.

The reason I came here is because the Silver Thunder Orchid that the Demon Lord mentioned was hidden in this Golden Water Marsh.

After all, Ningfa had made a deal with the Demon Lord to help him nurture that Silver Thunder Orchid.

Ningfa agreed in the first place because the Demon Lord said there were two Silver Thunder Orchids in that place.
