Chapter 1303
Canglan Island
Not long after that.
In the core of the Demon Sea, a hidden flying boat suddenly appeared.
Ling Pengyun stood on it, looking at a huge island tens of thousands of miles ahead, where cultivators kept coming in and out and which was covered by clouds and mist, making it difficult for ordinary people to find. A look of satisfaction appeared on his brow.
“It was rumored that this island was originally the base of the Holy Demon Sect. I didn’t expect that in just a few short years, this place has been transformed into a holy place for cultivation.
"And if I'm not mistaken, there should be a fourth-grade upper-grade spiritual vein in it."
“And this kind of spiritual vein is extremely rare, not something that the Canglan Bihai Sect can possess. Moreover, the spiritual vein has a strong foundation, and one can tell at a glance that it has existed on the island for a long time.”
"From this perspective, this vein is most likely the transformation of the original fourth-grade upper-grade demon vein in the Holy Demon Island."
"But such a thing is extremely complicated, and even requires the help of a fourth-order upper-grade Pure Spirit Array. As far as I know, the master of this island, the Canglan Bihai Sect, should not have such a large array, and even the Yun Qian lineage behind it should not have it either."
"If so, this should have been done by Xinghai Pavilion."
"In this case, the opportunity is quite good."
"Otherwise, even if this sect had obtained the Canglan Island before, it would probably be difficult to transform that fourth-grade upper-grade demon vein into a spiritual vein in a short period of time."
“And this sect can be considered a blessing in disguise.”
Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but show a bit more joy on his face.
A blessing in disguise is particularly suitable for the Canglan Bihai Sect today.
Today, the Xinghai Pavilion’s base, Canglan Island, within the Demon Sea, is the Holy Demon Island, the base of the Holy Demon Sect that was captured by the Canglan Bihai Sect when Ling Pengyun killed all the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Holy Demon Sect.
In this way, the Canglan Bihai Sect was naturally dragged into the huge world-destroying chaos currently taking place in the Demon Sea Demon Realm.
And this is the disaster.
According to Wang Qiuyang, a disciple of the Yun Qian lineage's great master Yun Qian, the sect has lost a lot of manpower in recent years in order to cooperate with the Xinghai Pavilion in battles.
If it is delayed for some more time, the foundation of the cultivators of this sect might be shaken.
However, these are difficult to compare with the opportunity of the fourth-grade superior spiritual vein.
After all, this kind of spiritual vein is rare in the outside world, and it is estimated that there are no more than two forces in the entire Boundless Sea Immortal Cultivation World.
Of course, this is ignoring the two major forces in the world of immortal cultivation here, the Xinghai Realm where the Xinghai Pavilion is located, and the Haijiao Realm where the Haijiao clan is located.
After putting his distracting thoughts aside, Ling Pengyun continued to rush towards Canglan Island. However, just as he stepped into the 100,000-mile territory of Canglan Island, Ling Pengyun suddenly found himself locked in by a formation within Canglan Island.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul Elder token of the Yun Qian lineage on his body suddenly flashed with light.
Then, several spiritual senses swept across Ling Pengyun's body.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light flew rapidly from Canglan Island.
After a while, a monk wearing a light blue Taoist robe, with white hair and looking a little old appeared in front of Ling Pengyun. He had a kind face and spoke to Ling Pengyun in a very polite manner.
"I didn't expect to meet you, Junior Brother Pengyun, here."
"Some time ago, you devised a plan to kill all the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Holy Demon Sect, which had a strange whereabouts in this world. It was truly extraordinary. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a long time, you would be able to reach that level."
"By the way, I heard some time ago that my nephew had encountered a bottleneck and entered a long period of seclusion. Now that he has come out of seclusion, what has he gained?"
Ling Pengyun was shocked when he saw the old man in front of him.
"I didn't expect this uncle-master was also here."
The old monk in the blue robe was the Tianshui Lao Zhenjun who had advised Ling Pengyun and other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xinghai Pavilion during the Xinghai meeting that it would be best to comprehend more water-attributed spells before the battle to deal with the chaos of the world's destruction.
Therefore, although Ling Pengyun had little contact with him, he still couldn't help but feel some respect for him.
At the same time, the identity of this old True Lord is also somewhat extraordinary. He is the master of the Tianshui lineage, one of the nine major lineages of Xinghai Pavilion. He has a high status in the sect, and even Ling Pengyun can hardly compare to him. Only the master of the Yunqian lineage behind him, the Old True Lord Yun Qian, can be compared with him.
Moreover, his cultivation has reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage, and he is also a water-attributed practitioner. He has already comprehended many fourth-order water-attributed techniques and even supernatural powers to the perfect level, capable of achieving them in an instant.
For this reason, even though he is in the Xinghai Pavilion where there are many powerful people, his strength can still rank among the top five Nascent Soul experts in the sect.
It was for this reason that Ling Pengyun did not dare to neglect such a person and immediately replied with a smile.
“It was only luck that I was able to kill those Demonic True Lords of the Holy Demon Sect. It was also thanks to the help of the Mu Yuan Immortal Sect under your lineage and the other Yuanying elders of my Yun Qian lineage. If not for this, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to accomplish this alone.”
"And to be honest with Master Tianshui, I was not in seclusion on Xinghai Island before. I was just hiding from the Demonic Gu Taoist behind the Saint Demon Elder."
The Mu Yuan Immortal Sect in the Boundless Sea Immortal Cultivation World is one of the Yuanying affiliated forces of the Tianshui lineage in the outside world.
In addition, the Tianshui lineage to which he belongs also has a good relationship with the Yun Qian lineage. For this reason, the Muyuan Immortal Sect has a better relationship with the Canglan Bihai Sect under the command of the Yun Qian lineage, which is also located in the boundless sea area.
At this moment, Tianshui Lao Zhenjun couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Ling Pengyun said.
"My nephew is too modest. I know the strength of the Muyuan Immortal Sect under my lineage, as well as the strength of the other Nascent Soul True Lords of your Yunqian lineage who are in this world of immortal cultivation. If you hadn't taken up the banner at that time, the Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Holy Demon Sect would have been difficult to destroy."
"At this point, my uncle asked, I have heard before that the Saint Demon Elder of the Saint Demon Sect is suspected to have some relationship with the Demon Gu Daojun of the Red Buddha Demon Sect in the Supreme Buddha Country's Immortal Cultivation World."
“This is also more dangerous.”
"Under such circumstances, if Junior Brother still dares to come here, I'm afraid it's a bit unsafe."
"And my nephew is not a reckless person... Has my nephew resolved the trouble caused by the Demonic Gu Taoist Master?"
Ling Pengyun's eyes trembled slightly, and then he thought that the fact that he could ask the Xinghai Ancestor to help scare away the Demonic Gu Taoist was too shocking, and it was not convenient for others to know, so he pretended to smile and said.
"It's not that I resolved this trouble, but that it simply didn't exist."
"According to my private inquiries, although the Saint Demon Elder has some relationship with the Demonic Gu Daojun of the Red Demon Buddhist Sect, it is only because of his contribution to the management of the Saint Demon Sect that he was summoned by the Demonic Gu Daojun several times and rewarded with some treasures."
"Under such circumstances, even if the Demonic Gu Taoist Lord values the Saint Demon Elder, he probably won't risk leaving the Supreme Buddha Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World at this time. After all, there is also a righteous divine power there."
When Tianshui Lao Zhenjun heard this, although he felt that there were some loopholes in this matter, he saw Ling Pengyun's confident expression on the matter, so he didn't say anything more. "That's good."
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Tianshui Lao Zhenjun asked with some anticipation.
"Master Nephew, are you planning to station here this time?"
Ling Pengyun did not hide his thoughts and nodded.
"good."
When Tianshui Lao Zhenjun saw his reply, his face suddenly lit up with joy.
"Very good, very good."
"This way, with you, my junior brother, in charge of the front line, it will be a little safer."
Ling Pengyun couldn't help but laugh.
"Uncle Master, please don't flatter me. Even if I hadn't come here, this place would definitely be indestructible under the protection of Uncle Master and the other disciples in the sect."
Upon hearing this, Tianshui Lao Zhenjun sighed helplessly.
"My nephew probably doesn't know the exact situation here."
“Although, on the surface, the righteous side led by my Xinghai Pavilion has a few advantages, but some time ago, it was rumored that the situation in the Supreme Buddha Kingdom’s cultivation world has become a little bad. The righteous Buddha there suffered heavy losses during the confrontation with the local demonic power, the Red Buddha Demon Sect, and at least a dozen Nascent Souls were killed.”
"It is estimated that before long, the war situation in that place will be pushed to its peak, and eventually the gods of various forces will come out to fight."
"And the Supreme Buddha Realm, the Orthodox Buddha Transformation Force in the current immortal cultivation world, has only one Transformation Dao Lord, and that Dao Lord's cultivation is average. On the other hand, the Red Buddha Demon Sect has two Transformations, namely the Demon Gu Dao Lord and the Red Buddha Demon Lord."
"Under such circumstances, even if the righteous Buddha incarnation from the Supreme Buddha Realm has mastered special Buddhist methods to restrain the devil, he will inevitably be overwhelmed when facing two devil incarnations at the same time, and can only barely resist."
“By then, there will undoubtedly be some loopholes for the Red Buddha Demon Sect to exploit. So I guess that if there are no other accidents, the Supreme Buddha Realm should be defeated, and the Red Buddha Demon Sect will become the winner.”
“And the Demon Sea Demon Realm where we are fighting with the Monster Clan of the Boundless Demon Sea is a subordinate territory of the Supreme Buddha Kingdom’s demonic power, the Red Buddha Demon Sect. Under such circumstances, after the Red Buddha Demon Sect has an absolute advantage in the Supreme Buddha Kingdom’s immortal cultivation world, I’m afraid that nine out of ten times they will send people to support this place. By then, the situation here will be a little dangerous.”
Ling Pengyun frowned.
"I didn't expect there would be such a secret."
"And if that's the case, the situation here is indeed somewhat dangerous."
Tianshui Lao Zhenjun particularly agreed, and then the two of them entered Canglan Island together while talking and chatting.
During the journey, Tianshui Lao Zhenjun also gave a brief account of the situation of the monks stationed on Canglan Island.
Probably more than 70% of the cultivators from Xinghai Pavilion and the Boundless Sea Immortal Realm are gathered in this place. Therefore, the number of cultivators here can be said to be as high as hundreds of millions.
The number of Nascent Soul cultivators who can influence the situation of the war is also not small, more than fifty in total. Among them, more than thirty are from Xinghai Pavilion, and the other twenty or so are from various Nascent Soul forces in this world of immortal cultivation.
Most of them are at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and there are even quite a few strong ones in the False Nascent Soul stage. As for the cultivators who can enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul or above, there are very few, only a dozen or so.
And these are the main backbones who can truly lead the team to garrison a place.
Those who can enter the late Nascent Soul stage have high cultivation and strong strength, and have some ability to turn the tide of the battle. For this reason, such people are generally arranged to garrison Canglan Island or go to the outside world to keep an eye on the overall movements of the original group of demons in the Demon Sea Demon Realm and the demon clan in the Boundless Sea.
"Oh, Uncle Tianshui, what about Nascent Soul Perfection masters like you? How many of them are there on the island?"
Ling Pengyun asked curiously.
Before, he thought that this senior master was in charge of Xinghai Island.
After all, although this place is the front line, Xinghai Island is equally important, and that place is the closest to the boundless sea of demons, so wars occasionally occur there, but they are not as dangerous as here.
When Tianshui Lao Zhenjun heard this, he hesitated for a moment. Then he took into account that Ling Pengyun was extremely powerful and had made extraordinary achievements in killing powerful Yuanying perfect masters. He was already able to be included in the decision-making ranks of the sect, so he said.
"Since you asked, I will tell you about it."
"As a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage like me, our strength has reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage. If we do not enter the Spiritual Transformation stage, we will be the strongest among us. For this reason, we usually intimidate the enemy and, at the same time, suppress the powerful Nascent Soul masters of both the demon and the monster from entering the battlefield to cause chaos, so as to reduce losses."
"Of course, at some special moments, we will also go deep into the battlefield to fight."
"By the way, Junior Brother may not know that among the many Nascent Soul demons we have killed, at least 70% were killed by us, the Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators who are in charge of the island. We are not here to eat and do nothing."
"As for the Nascent Soul Perfection masters on the island, there are two in total."
"One is me, and the other is the old witch Tianhuo from the Tianhuo lineage."
Ling Pengyun was slightly surprised to see that there were two Nascent Soul Perfection masters in charge of the island. There were not many such people even in a God Transformation force like Xinghai Pavilion.
Moreover, someone is needed to be stationed on Xinghai Island. Furthermore, the affiliated forces of Xinghai Pavilion in other parts of the immortal cultivation world also need some powerful Nascent Soul masters to be stationed there.
Under such circumstances, the sect would send two Nascent Soul Perfection masters to guard this place, which is enough to show the importance the sect attaches to this place.
As for the old witch Tianhuo mentioned earlier by Tianshui Lao Zhenjun, she is also an extraordinary strong person, and her Taoist name is Tianshui Taoist Nun.
It is said that this Taoist nun Tianhuo is also good at magic, although she is not as strong as Old True Lord Tianshui, and the magic she is good at is different. She is good at magic with fire attributes.
But it is said that there is a treasure in the Heavenly Fire Vein called the Xuanyuan Heavenly Fire Mirror. Through this mirror, one can transform into an extremely powerful Xuanyuan Heavenly Fire that can burn everything. It is extremely domineering.
Perhaps it is for this reason that this Taoist nun Tianhuo has such a hot temper.
She and Tianshui Lao Zhenjun are both one of the nine major clans of Xinghai Pavilion, and their territories in Xinghai Pavilion are relatively close. For this reason, the two often have disputes because of Tianhuo Taoist Nun's hot temper.
Gradually, some rifts arose between the two, and it was rumored that fights occurred occasionally.
It was for this reason that Tianshui Lao Zhenjun privately called Tianhuo Taoist Nun the old witch.
