Chapter 1302
Huge Chaos
Three years passed in a flash.
This day.
Deep in the Star Island.
A cave hall somewhere.
There were two people sitting at a tea table drinking tea and chatting.
"Brother Wang, I have been in seclusion on the island in recent years. I wonder what the situation is like in the immortal cultivation world in the Boundless Sea?"
After a moment, Ling Pengyun asked curiously.
"not too good."
"Three years ago, the Yuanying righteous forces in the Boundless Sea Cultivation World joined forces to attack the Demon Sea Demon Realm. This was like a fuse that directly ignited the powder keg of the Boundless Sea Cultivation World."
"At the beginning, although the righteous path had some advantages and even almost destroyed the entire Demon Sea Demon Realm, the powerful demons of the Boundless Demon Sea suddenly came to support the Demon Sea Demon Realm."
“Of course, our fellow disciples who were wandering around the Boundless Sea Immortal Cultivation World responded in time and rushed to the Demon Sea Demon Realm in time to support the righteous path there, so that the righteous path did not suffer much loss when the demons and monsters joined forces to fight against the enemy. However, this move caused the situation in the entire Boundless Sea Immortal Cultivation World to escalate comprehensively.”
“After all, all the forces above the Nascent Soul stage in the Boundless Sea Cultivation World have gathered there.”
"Plus, for some reason, my Xinghai Pavilion is unwilling to retreat and has been fighting against the two demon forces."
"The demons knew that if they retreated, the Demon Sea would be lost. For this reason, the two sides fought countless fierce battles in the Demon Sea."
"Even the void of most of the land in the Demon Sea Demon Realm was shattered by the aftermath of the fight between Yuanying-level peers, and turned into a land of strong winds, with no vitality at all."
"Also, I heard that many people died in this battle."
"Eight Yuanyings died, three of whom were from our side, and the other five were from the demons and monsters."
"Although it seems that I have the upper hand."
“But this situation is really not good.”
"After all, if the situation continues to develop, I'm afraid it won't be long before the world-destroying chaos in our Boundless Sea Immortal Cultivation World will enter the final battle period. By then, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous. There's even a possibility that even we... may die."
After Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although the decisive battle of the Destruction Rebellion will come sooner or later, who would want it to happen so soon? Being able to come one day later is equivalent to being one day safer.
By then, there may be other opportunities.
In addition, Wang Qiuyang had actually been arranged by the sect to participate in that battle before, and he had made considerable contributions, having killed a demon king in the early Nascent Soul stage. But it was also because of this that he received special "care" from both the demon and monster sides in that battle, resulting in extremely serious injuries.
Afterwards, considering that the battlefield in the Demon Sea and the Magic Realm was extremely unstable, the sect arranged for Wang Qiuyang to return to the Xinghai Island base in the desolate sea area far between the Thirty-six Seas of the Righteous Path and the Boundless Sea to recuperate.
When Ling Pengyun heard this, he naturally understood Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang. His eyes trembled slightly and he said secretly in his heart.
"The reason why the sect sent those righteous Yuanying forces from the Boundless Sea Cultivation Realm to invade the Demon Sea Demon Realm was indeed to deliberately speed up the process of the world-destroying chaos."
At this moment, Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang spoke again.
"By the way, it is rumored that the progress of the world-destroying chaos experienced by other immortal cultivation worlds has accelerated a lot recently due to various events."
After saying this, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of curiosity and worry.
"It's really a coincidence."
"The most crucial thing is that, although the acceleration of the situation in the major battlefields of the World Destruction Chaos was the work of the righteous path, those demonic forces all accepted the challenge."
“Therefore, I always feel that no matter whether it is the major righteous forces or the demonic and divine forces, they all seem to be hiding something and want to solve the big problem of the world-destroying chaos as soon as possible.”
Ling Pengyun's brows jumped and he murmured in his heart.
"In this case, the sect can be sure that it was for the mysterious opportunity to become a god more than forty years later that it took the initiative to cause trouble for the demonic forces in the immortal cultivation world of the Boundless Sea."
"After all, according to what Xinghai Patriarch said, the mysterious opportunity to become a god is related to strength. Under such circumstances, the one who can get that opportunity must not be the Xinghai Pavilion's force."
“And judging from the chaos and destruction in the immortal cultivation worlds in various places, I’m afraid that both the righteous and demonic forces in those places are aware of the mysterious opportunity to become a god forty years from now.”
"In this case, the opportunity to become a god may be more dangerous than I imagined."
"But it is also true that the opportunity to become a God is something you can only encounter by chance. Even a very old and incomparable God force like Xinghai Pavilion cannot guarantee that there will be a God in charge for generations. Under such circumstances, it is a bit abnormal that the opportunity to become a God is so easy to come by."
After clearing his mind, Ling Pengyun continued chatting with Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang.
And through this casual chat, Ling Pengyun could probably confirm from his tone that Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang should not know about the opportunity to achieve Divine Transformation more than forty years later.
“Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang is the direct disciple of Master Yunqian and has entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage at an early stage. Logically speaking, he should have been considered a member of the management of Xinghai Pavilion. Even if he is not very capable, he should be able to participate in any important event within the pavilion.”
"But under such circumstances, how could he not know about the opportunity to become a god?"
"It seems that this opportunity is a secret. It is even possible that only the Dao Lords of the various major forces know about it."
"But why is this?"
Ling Pengyun secretly became suspicious.
"Could it be that he is trying to avoid cause and effect? Is he afraid that the opportunity to become a god will be foreseen in advance through some special method?"
After thinking for a while but still having no clue, he came back to his senses and continued chatting with Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and after Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang glanced at Ling Pengyun, he made a suggestion.
"Junior brother, it has been nearly a year since I came back from the Demon Sea, and during this time, I have recovered from my injuries. In addition, the sect has often told me recently that the front line is in a tight spot. I plan to earn some military merits through this battle to exchange for spiritual resources. Therefore, after recuperating for a few days, I plan to return to the front line of the Demon Sea."
"I wonder if Junior Brother is interested in this?"
Taking into account that he still wanted to accumulate military merit, Ling Pengyun got Nascent Soul spiritual objects for his son Ling Chengxia and the Black-armored Turtle from the sect's Military Merit Hall. He also planned to buy a quasi-fifth-level spiritual object to recast his own spiritual treasure, the River of Treasures, which was based on the foundation of the Incarnation of the Gods. This was the time when he needed military merit.
And judging from the current chaotic situation of world destruction, if we don’t seize the opportunity to earn military merits, we may miss this battle in the future.
In addition, he had been staying in the Xinghai Pavilion to avoid the limelight of killing the Holy Demon Old Man of the Holy Demon Sect. Three years ago, the Demonic Gu Taoist Master who was behind the Holy Demon Old Man had already been scared away by the Xinghai Ancestor.
As a result, Ling Pengyun nodded and agreed to Wang Qiuyang's invitation.
Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang was overjoyed when he heard this. "That's good now. With my junior brother on the front line of the Demon Sea, the cultivators of my Yun Qian lineage will be protected there. We won't be deployed to the most dangerous place by people from other Xinghai Pavilion factions!"
Ling Pengyun frowned when he heard this.
"Is there anything else going on?"
Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang nodded helplessly.
"Of course. After all, every battlefield has some places that are particularly dangerous, and some places that are relatively safe."
“And these places are bound to need manpower.”
"Under such circumstances, all the major factions naturally want to station in a safer place."
"And ordinary people can't defend dangerous places. Indirectly, those places fell into the hands of our branch faction, which has a strong foundation and no Yuanying Perfect or Yuanying Late Stage strongmen stationed on the frontline battlefield."
"Of course, we can defend those places, but the casualties will be greater."
"After careful calculation, since the focus of the war shifted to the Demon Sea Demon Realm in the past three years, my Yun Qian lineage has lost tens of thousands of Qi training cultivators, hundreds of foundation building cultivators, and even nearly ten Jindan cultivators."
"As for me and the other two sect masters, although our lives are not in danger, we have all suffered some serious injuries."
After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If only my master and your master, Uncle Yunxiong, were here on the battlefield before the situation changed."
As one of the nine branches of Xinghai Pavilion, the Yun Qian lineage is naturally not a vegetarian. Not only does it have the old True Lord Yun Qian, a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator who has reached perfection, but it also has the powerful True Lord Yun Xiong, a late Nascent Soul physical cultivator.
However, because the affiliated forces of Yun Qian's lineage were focused on the Northern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world, and that immortal cultivation world was established too recently, it was difficult for it to face the world-destroying chaos launched by the demons alone.
For this reason, long before the world-destroying chaos began, True Lord Yun Qianlao and True Lord Yun Xiong had already brought some Nascent Souls from the main lineages of the sects to rush to that place of immortal cultivation to provide support.
After listening to what Wang Qiuyang said, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but frowned even more.
After all, the Yun Qian lineage had been very kind to him, and when he left his family and rushed here, Old True Lord Yun Qian and his master, True Lord Yun Xiong, both asked them to take good care of the Yun Qian lineage.
In return, he also asked the two senior masters to help take care of the family.
Under such circumstances, the Yun Qian lineage suffered heavy losses, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to explain to the old True Lord Yun Qian and the True Lord Yun Xiong in the future.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me this before?"
Senior Brother Wang Qiuyang said with a somewhat wry smile.
"I saw that you had been in seclusion before, so I guessed that you must have reached a bottleneck in your cultivation, and I was afraid to disturb your cultivation!"
Ling Pengyun said decisively.
"My meridians have suffered heavy casualties. Compared to this, my cultivation is nothing."
"If I encounter such a major event again in the future, please remember to remind me. Otherwise, even if I survive the turmoil of the world destruction, I will not be able to face Uncle Yun Qian and others."
"Oh, Senior Brother, since the disciples of my Yun Qian lineage who are at the frontline of the Demon Sea Demon Realm are in dire straits, I will not wait for you and will rush over there to support them first. Otherwise, who knows, all the disciples of my lineage may be trapped and killed."
After saying this, his figure disappeared from here.
Wang Qiuyang looked at this scene, and a hint of approval appeared on his face.
"It seems that although Junior Brother Pengyun rarely stays in my Yunqian lineage, his heart is always with my Yunqian lineage. No wonder Master has always intended to hand over the Yunqian lineage to Junior Brother Pengyun."
Although Ling Pengyun is extremely powerful and has a high level of cultivation, and will surely enter the realm of Nascent Soul Perfection in the future, Ling Pengyun can strictly speaking be considered only half of the Yun Qian lineage. After all, he only joined the Yun Qian lineage midway and was not a cultivator cultivated by the Yun Qian lineage since childhood.
And there is also a Ling family behind it.
For this reason, if it were someone else, Master Yun Qian would most likely not pass on the throne to him just because of his high level of cultivation, so as to avoid the Yun Qian lineage's heritage flowing into the Ling family.
Wang Qiuyang put aside his distracting thoughts and slowly withdrew his gaze.
"My injuries have delayed my recovery for more than a year. If I continue to delay, I'm afraid I'll lose some merits in battle. This will have some impact on my path. I have to recover from the remaining injuries as soon as possible."
Afterwards, he went into seclusion to recuperate, ignoring worldly affairs.
…………
at the same time.
An extremely fast but concealed beam of light left the Xinghai Pavilion, then quickly crossed the entire righteous territory of the Boundless Sea and finally arrived at the border of the Demon Sea.
It only took a few days.
"This Riding the Wind Flying Boat is indeed a fourth-tier flying boat. It is fast and has a long-lasting durability."
"Otherwise, according to my previous method of traveling by using the escape technique, I'm afraid it will take me at least half a month to get here."
Ling Pengyun looked at the green flying boat about ten feet in size under his feet, his brows full of joy.
Then, he looked around the Demon Sea and Demon Realm in front of him.
There is actually no difference between this area and other areas. All you can see is sea water, and there are some large and small islands scattered in the ocean.
The reason why this place is called the Demonic Realm is that the immortal cultivation world here uses this place to collectively refer to the sea areas under the command of those demonic forces.
And perhaps because this demonic territory has now been invaded by the righteous path, the demonic sea area separated from the righteous path has been occupied by righteous cultivators, and even the original demonic veins within it have been transformed into spiritual veins by the righteous path using special formations.
"If the Demon Sea Demon Realm can keep the upper hand over the righteous side led by Xinghai Pavilion this time, I estimate that after the chaos is over, many territories in this Demon Realm will fall into the hands of the righteous side."
"In addition, the cultivators stationed on the spiritual islands at the border of the Demon Realm seem to be cultivators from our Xinghai Realm, and they are more or less related to the stronger branch factions within the Pavilion."
"Besides, it is peaceful and tranquil here, as if it is far away from the frontline conflicts in the Demon Sea and Demon Realm. It is indeed extremely safe."
"It seems that Senior Brother Wang did not lie at the beginning."
After Ling Pengyun muttered to himself for a while, he took out a map of the distribution of the Demon Sea and the Magic Territory, which he had obtained from the temporary General Affairs Hall on the island when he left Xinghai Island.
It records in detail the sect's layout in this sea area, as well as the layout of those demon sea areas.
After identifying the main base of Xinghai Pavilion, "Canglan Island", which was temporarily built here, Ling Pengyun drove the flying boat directly over there. (End of this chapter)
