Chapter 223 Cangling East Region, Five Elements Sea [4K]
During this period of time, the entire Ye family of immortals gradually adapted to the identity of a Jindan clan. Countless foundation-building forces throughout the Tianxing Sea came to congratulate them.
Even the major Jindan forces sent people to inquire when the Jindan Banquet would be held. The Ye family temporarily suppressed the request on the grounds that Ye Linyuan was in seclusion healing his injuries.
During these few years, Cangyuebei also tried to break through to the Jindan realm once, but ultimately failed.
Ye Linyuan was not surprised by this. Although Cangyuebei was a descendant of the true spirit, its magic power was too weak and the possibility of breaking through to the golden elixir level in a single time was not particularly high.
However, Cangyue Bei has a strong foundation, and each breakthrough can increase the success rate of the next breakthrough a little.
Moreover, Cang Yue Bei is best at healing. Even if he fails to break through the golden elixir and suffers backlash, it will only take ten years at most to recover.
And Cangyuebei is a descendant of the true spirit after all. If nothing unexpected happens, Cangyuebei will break through once every ten years, and at most it will be able to successfully form a pill after two more breakthroughs.
In addition to the small episode of Cangyuebei's breakthrough, another major event happened in the Seven Domain Alliance.
The Teng Snake Demon King has been attacking various sea areas continuously over the years.
Compared to the last time, the Teng Snake was much smarter this time. It no longer attacked the Jindan-level forces. It only attacked the foundation-building forces every time, and basically withdrew in a very short time.
This caused panic among all major forces, and even the Jindan forces found the situation very difficult.
"That snake is becoming more and more difficult to deal with."
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly. Because of the injury, the Teng Snake's cultivation level was still at the second level of the Golden Core. With his cultivation level, it was enough to deal with it.
But the Teng Snake was extremely fast. Even though Ye Linyuan had cultivated the pseudo-magical power Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou, this method was not yet at the level of magical power. It was still not enough for him to catch up with the Teng Snake.
“I have just broken through to the Golden Core stage. My magical powers, spells, and all kinds of foundation still have a lot of room for improvement.”
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fight against the Teng Snake at this time."
Ye Linyuan was pondering in his heart, and then he saw a ray of light flying over, and it was Shui Hanqing who came to his side.
When she saw Ye Linyuan, Shui Hanqing said, "My husband, the major forces have sent letters again, asking you when you will hold the Golden Elixir Ceremony."
Ye Linyuan heard this but did not answer.
He roughly knew that the Golden Elixir Ceremony that all the major forces wanted to participate in was fake, and the real purpose was to take the opportunity to drag the Ye family to deal with Teng Snake.
After all, no matter how great Ye Linyuan's potential is, he is at least reasonable, and his strength may not be comparable to that of Tengshe.
In comparison, the Teng Snake is not only powerful, but also destined to break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core. It is the biggest enemy of the Seven Domain Alliance.
"That snake probably regards the Seven Domain Alliance as its future home."
"Forget it, let's meet each other."
"..."
The news that Ye Linyuan had recovered from his injury and was going to hold a Golden Elixir Banquet quickly spread.
Compared to the low-key foundation-building ceremony before, Ye Linyuan’s Dan-building banquet this time was quite grand.
There was no need for Ye Linyuan to make any arrangements, as all major forces had already presented their gifts.
There is no other reason. The Jindan clan is already the overlord level existence in the Seven Domain Alliance, not to mention that once the Ye family joined the Jindan clan, it was already a powerful Jindan force with five Jindans.
All the big and powerful forces in the entire Seven Domain Alliance came to congratulate.
Apart from the Black Dragon Demon Realm and the Canghai Sect, other Jindan forces had more or less Jindan masters visiting them. Even the Luoxia Sect sent a fake Jindan master.
The Five Elements Old Man came to the Sanyuan Alliance, and the Xinghen Palace and the Xinghuo Sect also had Golden Core or Fake Core masters arriving.
The two great sword masters, Huang Ji and Ming Huang, came from the Tianxing Sword Sect. The old man Qing Yan, who was in the middle stage of the Jindan realm from the Changqing Immortal Sect, came in person to visit. The Qingniu Demon King arrived in person from the Qingniu Demon Realm.
"Tianxing Sword Sect, give: a plant of Millennium Sword Intent Grass."
"Changqing Immortal Sect, give: a bottle of nourishing spirit pills and three foundation-building pills."
"Qingniu Demon Territory, give: a plant of Tianyu flower, a pair of jasper exquisites..."
Outside the hall, as the sounds of votes were called, one after another, powerful Jindan masters stepped into the Red Star Island.
When the top leaders of all the major Jindan forces arrived, Ye Linyuan received them all very politely.
After having enough wine and food, Master Minghuang Sword said straight to the point: "Brother Ye, we are here not only to participate in your Golden Elixir Ceremony, but also to cooperate in dealing with the Teng Snake."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded.
He had already guessed the purpose of everyone's visit. When he heard the Sword Master Minghuang mention it, he immediately said, "I know what everyone's purpose is."
"But that snake has the fastest speed in the world. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
Everyone looked solemn. A giant bull with green mane and golden horns looked over and said with some expectation: "I heard that you are good at the method of heavenly secrets. Can you find the location of the Teng Snake?"
The moment he saw this giant bull, Ye Linyuan showed a rare solemn expression.
This giant bull with green mane is the Green Bull Demon King. It is said that it is a descendant of the true spirit species 'Hun Tian Green Bull', which contains the blood of the ancient divine bull 'Tai Yi Green Bull'.
The most important thing is that the bloodline of the Green Bull Demon King has been deeply revived and is extremely powerful. If he can take one or two more steps forward, he may be able to awaken his royal blood and become the Green Bull King of the Universe.
In the entire Seven Domain Alliance, Li Xuangeng is the strongest in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, so the only one who can compete with him head-on is this Hun Tian Qing Niu.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan was still a little bit afraid of this Hun Tian Qing Niu.
But after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Although I have also practiced the secret art of heavenly secrets, I am still far inferior to Sect Master Li."
"Plus, without the help of a medium, it is a pipe dream to locate the Teng Snake."
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately showed a look of disappointment.
If they can't find the location of the Teng Snake, then even if they conduct a dragnet search, it will only increase the risk of being defeated one by one.
After all, the Teng Snake's cultivation was too strong. If an ordinary Jindan in the early stage or fake Jindan was attacked by surprise, he would be seriously injured even if he did not die.
After understanding this, Hun Tian Qing Niu couldn't help but look at the Master of Desolate Sword and asked, "Your sect has a strong foundation. Does it have the foundation to find the Teng Snake?"
Upon hearing this, the Desolate Sword Master said calmly, "My Tianxing Sword Sect does have a strong foundation, but this foundation cannot be easily used unless the survival of the sect is at stake."
"Moreover, unless our Tianxing Sword Sect can gather seven golden cores and unlock the heritage left by our ancestors, we will have a greater chance of killing the Teng Snake."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
Although they were afraid of the Teng Snake, the Teng Snake would not pose much of a threat to them within one or two hundred years. However, the situation was quite different for the Tianxing Sword Sect.
Once the Tianxing Sword Sect gives birth to seven more golden cores and unlocks part of the sect's heritage, won't the Seven Domain Alliance immediately have an overlord?
Moreover, supporting the Tianxing Sword Sect would consume their own resources, which they had obtained at great cost and were related to the heritage of the sect and their own future breakthrough hopes. Therefore, they would definitely not support the Tianxing Sword Sect to break through unless it was necessary.
Ye Linyuan watched all this and actually had guessed the outcome of today in his heart. He knew that it would be impossible to organize a siege on the Teng Snake this time.
Since they are not confident enough to capture the Teng Snake, they naturally won't do something that is thankless.
Secondly, the Teng Snake has not yet threatened the Jindan forces, and the crisis has not yet reached a critical point, so the Jindan forces present are not too anxious.
It's not that the major forces present are short-sighted, it's just that the Teng Snake is worthy of being a true spirit of heaven and earth and is really too difficult to deal with.
However, the nine major forces are not of the same mind, and it is naturally impossible for them to work together to deal with the Teng Snake when they are scattered.
"Ugh."
Seeing that no one had come to a conclusion, Elder Qingyan couldn't help but say, "If it really doesn't work, let's go outside the Seven Domain Alliance and see if we can find some help from outside?"
"foreign aid?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.
The Cangling Sea is a relatively closed place for cultivating immortals, because the cultivators here all live in the major shallow sea archipelagos, separated by the vast deep sea.
It is difficult for ordinary foundation-building cultivators to cross the vast deep ocean and go to other seas outside the Seven Domain Alliance.
Generally speaking, Foundation Establishment cultivators can only live in the Seven Domain Alliance throughout their entire lives. Golden Core cultivators have the ability to cross the deep sea and leave, but it is actually also very dangerous.
Unless there is an accurate geomancy map that can bypass the range of the major Jindan forces, there is still a high risk of death if a Jindan in the early stage leaves the Seven Domain Alliance alone.
Those in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm have a greater chance of finding another sea area alive, but it is actually also somewhat dangerous.
It is also because of this that the Jindan cultivators in the Seven Domain Alliance rarely leave this sea area.
"Fellow Daoist Ye has just broken through to the Golden Core stage and doesn't know much about the surrounding situation. Let me explain it to you."
Seeing Ye Linyuan's expression, the old man Qingyan couldn't help but smile and said, "This sea area of our Seven Domain Alliance was called the Sky Star Sea by the outside world a thousand years ago."
"Beyond the Tianxing Sea, in this vast sea stretching tens of millions of miles, there is a continent and five super-large archipelagos, collectively known as the Five Elements Sea."
"The five super-large archipelagos in the Five Elements Sea correspond to the five types of terrain: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They are also called the Five Elements Archipelago Sea."
"The Tianxing Sea where our Seven Domain Alliance is located is a large sea area second only to the Five Elements Islands."
As old man Qingyan told his story, Ye Linyuan gained a certain understanding of this sea area.
In the entire Cang Ling Sea cultivation world, there are five major sea areas, namely East, West, South, North and Central. They are located in the East Area of Cang Ling Sea.
The width of the eastern region of Cangling Sea is about 35 million miles, and its length is more than 50 million miles.
Among them, there are seven or eight archipelago waters with relatively dense islands, and the Five Elements Sea is one of these island-dense seas.
The Five Elements Sea is vast and boundless, with its widest point covering more than 8 million miles. It has a huge Five Elements continent that is a million miles long and wide and countless shallow sea islands.
On the Five Elements Continent, there is a Nascent Soul Sect called the Five Elements Taoist Sect. It is an ancient Nascent Soul Sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It is said that there is more than one Nascent Soul master in the sect.
Among these countless shallow sea islands, there are five super-large shallow sea islands, each of which is more than one or two million miles long and wide.
Those five super-large archipelagos basically have many powerful people in the late Jindan stage, and there may even be ancestors in the false infant stage to keep them in place.
In comparison, although the sea area of the Seven Domain Alliance also covers nearly one million miles and ranks among the top ten in the Five Elements Sea Islands in terms of area, its overall strength may not even be ranked in the top thirty.
"Thousands of years ago, when our Tianxing Sword Sect was at its peak, our Tianxing Sea Region had many late Jindan masters, whose strength was enough to rank among the top ten in the Five Elements Sea."
The Lord of Desolate Sword sighed, and then said: "At that time, our Tianxing Sword Sect often interacted with the outside world."
"But ever since the incident that happened back then, our Tianxing Sword Sect has completely declined and has rarely interacted with the outside world."
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
The Tianxing Sword Sect was at its peak a thousand years ago. At that time, this lineage not only had several late-stage Jindan masters, but also an invincible sword master who had reached the great perfection of Jindan.
Such a person dared to kill the fake infant with a sword and could draw sword with the Yuanying True Lord. He was known as the number one Jindan combatant in the Five Elements Sea. At that time, the Tianxing Sea could even be compared with the five super-large seas.
But no one knew what happened. Overnight, the Tianxing Sword Sect completely declined, and dozens of Jindan in the sect were almost completely wiped out.
Today, the Tianxing Sword Sect has completely declined, and even after thousands of years it still hasn't recovered much.
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but say, "I see. But how can we seek external help as Daoyou said?"
Elder Qingyan stroked his long beard and said, "Three hundred years ago, when I had just broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, I left the Tianxing Sea and went to the Renshui Sea of the super-large archipelago."
"According to what I have seen, many heroes have emerged in the Renshui Sea, and the major forces are complicated and intertwined. There are hundreds of Golden Core masters alone."
"Among them, there are at least five people who are in the late Jindan stage, and there may even be a Jindan Great Perfection or even a Fake Infant Great Power."
"If we can invite one or two late Jindan masters to come here, the possibility of catching the Teng Snake should be quite high."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other and showed their excitement.
But after a moment, they began to feel worried again.
After all, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.
There is no late Jindan in the Seven Domain Alliance now. They are all overlord-level figures in the Seven Domain Alliance, but once one or two late Jindan masters are invited, it will probably be a huge threat to them.
After all, with the strength of a late Jindan, he might be willing to plunder their assets after catching the Teng Snake.
So they don't want to do this until the necessary moment.
However, the Master of the Desolate Sword of the Tianxing Sword Sect stood up and said, "Brother Qingyan, you are overthinking. The late Jindan from the outside world dare not come."
After saying that, the Lord of the Desolate Sword bowed to Ye Linyuan, then said goodbye and left the banquet.
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
Seeing this, the Minghuang Sword Master on the side immediately sent a message to Ye Linyuan: "Brother Ye, there are some things I cannot tell you, but I can only tell you that in the eyes of the outside world, the Seven Domain Alliance is an ominous place."
"An ominous place?"
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, but soon seemed to have thought of something.
He thought about how the Tianxing Sword Sect was almost destroyed overnight, and why Taoist Cang and Li Xuangeng fled here.
Yes, if the Seven Domain Alliance was not special, how could Li Xuangeng and Cang Daoist, the descendants of the Yuanying Sect, hide here?
Obviously, this sea area is very special, so special that people in the late Jindan stage and even Yuanying Zhenjun from the outside world are unwilling to come in easily.
