Chapter 365: Reopening the Undersea Passage
Chapter 365: Reopening the Undersea Passage
Between heaven and earth, dazzling starlight bloomed, and the daytime star appeared, transforming into an ancient star that rumbled and rotated, carrying unparalleled divine power.
The Demon-Suppressing Lord came here, looking like a heroic young man, about thirty years old, with a tall and strong figure and a righteous aura.
Although he has only been in the state of enlightenment for a hundred years, the fluctuations of his magical power are in no way inferior to those of old monsters who have been around for many years. Starlight is wrapped around his body, turning into wisps of Taoist traces.
"The sky is crying..."
Looking at the blood rain pouring down from the sky, the lightning and thunder, and the howling wind.
When Zhenmo Zhenjun saw this scene, he was stunned and felt incredible.
"You killed that old devil in Blood River?"
He looked at the young man in armor in front of him. He was full of vigor and vitality, much younger than he had imagined, but he already had such a record.
"Thank you for coming all the way here and lending a helping hand. Qingyu Li is grateful. Now that the old demon Xuehe has been killed, I would like to invite you to visit my humble home and toast to express your gratitude."
Li Quanqing extended his invitation.
Since they have come with such kindness and are here to fight against the demonic monks together, we should always treat them to a meal. After all, we will inevitably have to deal with the Star Sect in the future.
Lord Zhenmo looked at the Whale King Armor that Li Quanqing was wearing, and then looked at the fourth-order formation that covered the entire Qingyu Cave Heaven.
In the end, I didn't have the courage to step into this dangerous place and politely declined.
"Although you are young and have not yet achieved the Nascent Soul stage, you are already qualified to be friends with us as your peers. It is a pity to be confined to a small corner. Do you have the ambition to advance to a great Nascent Soul clan?"
Zhenmo Zhenjun asked, and it was obvious that he really admired the young man in front of him.
When Zhenmo Zhenjun was a child, he lost his clansmen and parents due to the rampage of demonic monks. Therefore, he hated evil and vowed to kill all the demons in the world.
Therefore, when he learned that Li Quanqing had killed the Blood River Ancestor, his attitude became more friendly and he was not stingy with his appreciation.
"The Yuanying clan..."
Li Quanqing shook his head slightly, not at all moved: "Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhenjun, but my Li family is weak after all, and we don't have many cultivators. Now the sea area we control has reached its limit. We don't have the luxury of expanding further."
This is not a lie. A hundred years ago, the Qingyu Li family was just a foundation-building family, with only the old patriarch, a foundation-building cultivator, struggling to support the family.
Now that they have been promoted to a Jindan family, but it has been only sixty years, it is beyond their ability to make another leap and become a Yuanying family.
The development of a family requires time to accumulate foundation. If you take too big a step, various problems will easily arise and the gains will not outweigh the losses.
Of course, Li Quanqing said this to dispel some of the other party's concerns.
After all, the Xingchen Sect is a Nascent Soul Sect. Although it is a righteous sect, it is not yet generous enough to share territory and resources with other cultivators.
The path to becoming an immortal is all about competition.
"Well, I will come to celebrate the day when you truly advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
Lord Zhenmo smiled faintly, and from beginning to end, he did not show any hostility, worthy of being a righteous master.
The phantom of the stars rumbled, and just like when he came, he left again, stepping on the bright starlight, which turned into a bridge of a highway, spanning thousands of miles, and he could come and go freely.
Li Quanqing watched him disappear at the end of his sight before he completely relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Array behind him roared, a crack appeared, and his figure instantly drilled into it.
"Quan Qing, you are really too good to be so. That's an old devil in the Nascent Soul stage!" Li Kunlun was surrounded by lightning and sword energy was like a rainbow. He looked him up and down and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said, we are confident enough that even if other Yuanying Zhenjun come to attack, we can deal with them with this fourth-level formation."
Li Quanqing took off his armor and revealed his face again. His aura suddenly dropped from the Nascent Soul stage. He felt empty all over and his body was a little uncomfortable.
"Golden elixir can kill Yuanying in reverse. You are really amazing, you have the potential to become a god!"
Li Kunli stood nearby, marveling at the prospect. He had never imagined that the young boy who had asked him for advice on refining weapons would have grown into the behemoth he is today.
He has now condensed a fake pill and looks much younger. His body is as sturdy as an iron tower, and flames are burning the void all around him, giving people a great sense of oppression.
"It's a pity that your family is holding you back. If Quan Qing was born in a Nascent Soul Sect, perhaps you wouldn't have so many burdens."
Beside Li Kunlun, a large tripod glowed, and divine light roared, condensing into the incense body of Li Zongyao, filled with a divine majesty.
Today, the Li family is prosperous, and the old patriarch has been promoted to a seventh-grade god in the Golden Core realm, and his strength is strong enough.
Li Quanqing, on the contrary, doesn't think so.
A family has its advantages, and a sect has its disadvantages, including intrigue, conflicts of interest, and numerous factions.
It would be better for the family to be united as one.
What's more, he has been practicing till now relying entirely on his own golden finger, and he does not attach much importance to various external things such as cultivation resources.
Li Zongyao was surrounded by a golden divine light, which made him look very majestic. He spoke with regret, "Fortunately, the one who came this time is Zhenmo Zhenjun, who is a decent person. If it was Xingchen Patriarch who has lived for nearly a thousand years, he might fight you for the sake of the sect."
"So...how should the family develop next?"
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, they all felt quite conflicted.
The Li family's current Jindan combat power, however, is not strong enough for the few people present to be promoted to a Yuanying clan.
Moreover, although the Xingchen Sect is a famous and upright sect, will they just watch them grow stronger and encroach on their territory?
"The news of this battle will definitely spread, which is good for our Li family. Perhaps we won't have to put in much effort to make those nearby Jindan sects surrender."
"Our Li family is not greedy and will develop step by step. We will first secretly occupy a sea area of 100,000 miles, which is almost the limit. We need to continue to vigorously cultivate the cultivators in the family."
"From today on, Quan Qing, you must not leave Qingyu Cave Heaven, lest some great cultivator covet the precious armor on you and attack you secretly. It is better for you to stay in the family, be protected by the formation, and practice in peace."
The old patriarch lived long enough, was knowledgeable, and put forward several development strategies.
A true Nascent Soul-level force would command a sea area of millions of miles, extending from the Zhongzhou continent to the depths of the East China Sea, vast and boundless.
The Li family has secretly occupied 100,000 miles, and they are already a little overwhelmed and need to digest it slowly.
Li Quanqing had no objection to these development strategies, but he also had his own ideas.
"How about... we reopen the underwater secret passage? It leads directly to the outer sea human-demon battlefield. That place is now the territory of the Four Seas Sect. We can seek the protection of the Four Seas Sect."
"The secret passage is open, and we can travel hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. It will surely start a prosperous cross-sea trade. With the protection of the Four Seas Sect, my Li family will not only be able to develop vigorously, but also deter the Xingchen Sect from making any mistakes."
