Chapter 156
🕑 Added 2024-05-09 04:00:02 +0000 UTCBlack Veil Islands.
Main Island Conference Hall.
Twelve Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and fifty-six Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs gathered here.
Even in the East Sea Islands where powers are mixed and volatile.
Twelve Celestial Lords and fifty-six True Monarchs still constitute an undeniable force.
Among the eight hundred Sects and three thousand Left Paths, they are easily in the top ten.
What's more important is that the influence of the Black Veil Islands has completely merged into the East Sea Islands.
Except for the top three Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, no one knows that the Black Veil Islands are secretly controlled and manipulated by the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Mengting.
Although the eight hundred Sects and three thousand Left Paths of the East Sea Islands are constantly in internal strife.
They are extremely exclusive. If they discover infiltrators from the Daoist Immortal Sect on their territory, even if they dare not act against them, they will instinctively cease their internal strife and unite.
This goes against the basic policy of the Daoist Immortal Sect towards the East Sea Islands.
For the Daoist Immortal Sect, the chaotic internal strife of the eight hundred Sects and three thousand Left Paths of the East Sea Islands is the best situation, as for unity? What's the difference between that and the demonic, ghostly, and devilish paths?
Mu Mengting secretly controls the Black Veil Islands, disrupts the situation in the East Sea, and collects a large amount of resources and wealth, with great skill.
Compared to the Daoist Immortal Sect's suppression of the demonic path to the north, the devil path to the west, and the ghostly path to the south, the Black Veil Islands controlled by Mu Mengting are definitely a fat piece of meat.
This is also why the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect 'favors' Mu Mengting.
"In a while, I'll go to the Central Divine Continent and hand over the harvest of the past hundred years."
In the conference hall, a Transformation Stage Celestial Lord sitting on the main seat thought to himself.
He looked at the many Nascent Soul Stage True Monarchs below, as well as the other Celestial Lords sitting on the left and right, about to speak.
Just then.
The face of this Transformation Stage Celestial Lord changed slightly.
He suddenly felt the air around him heating up.
"Not good."
Over a dozen Transformation Stage Celestial Lords' expressions changed drastically as they instinctively soared into the sky, the aura unique to Transformation Stage cultivators, overlooking the rise and fall of the world, erupting suddenly.
However.
The next moment.
The faces of over a dozen Transformation Stage Celestial Lords showed a hint of despair.
Because—
They saw a 'sun'.
Descending towards the Black Veil Islands.
Above the clouds.
Lin Yuan retracted his right hand and glanced at the Black Veil Islands below.
At this moment, the Black Veil Islands had turned into a sea of fire, with True Monarchs and Celestial Lords bursting out one after another, only to quickly perish.
"The secret technique of the Wan Yang Lineage indeed has terrifying killing power."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly as he saw this.
The 'sun' he had just released was a simplified version of the secret technique, 'Heavenly Sun of the Wan Yang'.
Having fought with the Wan Yang Saint Son twice, Lin Yuan had long used his Unrivaled Insight to learn many of his unique techniques.
If it were in the main world, Lin Yuan would naturally not casually use techniques related to the Wan Yang Lineage.
Because it is easy for other high-level Evolvers to recognize it, which could lead to 'copyright' disputes.
The human alliance in the main world has a sound legal system that protects many secret techniques and martial arts. If you are not a disciple of a certain lineage and have not purchased their secret techniques, but still use them, it is considered stealing.
Regardless of which star domain or alliance, it is considered illegal.
But there is no need to hide when traversing worlds.
Especially now, Lin Yuan, as a Yang Spirit, doesn't need to be so cautious.
"Black Veil Islands."
Lin Yuan lowered his head to look down, confirming that there were no survivors.
The reason why he took action against the Black Veil Islands was mainly for himself and Jun Dongjin to vent their anger.
Jun Dongjin's father has a variant Heaven Spirit Root, and his talent ranks at the top among the young generation of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
But due to his status, he could only endure Mu Mengting's provocations.
Now that there is a chance for revenge, Lin Yuan naturally won't let it pass.
The other reason is to spread the path of martial arts evolution in the East Sea Islands, which will inevitably come into conflict with the Black Veil Islands in the future.
Rather than being obstructed and harassed by the Black Veil Islands in the future, it's better to take decisive action now and destroy the Black Veil Islands directly.
"Hmm?"
"Gather!"
Lin Yuan looked down at the Black Veil Islands and took a deep breath.
In an instant, a large amount of pure and extremely spiritual energy surged in.
As the top power of the East Sea Islands, the Black Veil Islands naturally contained a large amount of treasures and resources.
Especially for Mu Mengting, who collected many resources for him and had not yet handed them over, the treasures stored on the island, as well as the storage rings of the Transformation Stage Celestial Lord, were all in his possession.
Now that the Black Veil Islands have turned into a sea of fire, everything has been burned clean. Under the incineration of the true fire of the sun, those treasures and resources have turned into the purest spiritual energy.
All of it was swallowed by Lin Yuan.
"There's quite a lot."
Lin Yuan swallowed it all in one gulp, a smile appearing on his face.
The spiritual energy he just swallowed is enough to push a Transformation Stage early Celestial Lord to the mid or late stage.
Daoist Immortal Sect.
Mu Mengting stood up and was about to report to the Sect Master of the Sect about the achievements of these years, how he had disrupted the situation in the East Sea with the Black Veil Islands under his control.
Suddenly.
Mu Mengting's expression changed drastically.
"How is this possible?!"
Mu Mengting's face was ugly.
There was even a hint of panic.
Because he sensed that the tokens of the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Black Veil Islands had all shattered at the same time.
What does this mean? It means that all Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs have fallen.
And the time of their fall was almost simultaneous.
Furthermore.
It also means that the Black Veil Islands he painstakingly built up no longer exist. If even the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and Nascent Soul True Monarchs have fallen, what about the other cultivators?
"What happened?"
Seated at the main seat, the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect spoke.
"Sect Master."
"The Transformation Stage and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Black Veil Islands, all fell just now."
Mu Mengting dared not hide anything and immediately spoke up.
"What?!"
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect's gaze turned cold.
"Outrageous!"
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect suddenly stood up.
At the same time.
Above the head of the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
A 'mirror' emitting boundless light and boundless calamity appeared.
Buzz!!! A beam of light, as if piercing through time and space, shot out from the highest point of the Daoist Immortal Sect, and in just a few moments, it descended in front of the Black Veil Islands in the East Sea.
"Hmm?"
Above the clouds, Lin Yuan, who was 'savoring' something, had a slight change in expression and looked up at the terrifying 'mirror light' coming from the direction of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
His figure disappeared silently.
The next moment.
The mirror light descended.
Turning into a phantom.
Upon closer inspection, it was the appearance of the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
The phantom looked down at the Black Veil Islands, which had already turned into a sea of fire, swept the surroundings with cold eyes, snorted coldly, and then disappeared.
Tens of thousands of miles away.
Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit appeared.
"So that's the Daoist Immortal Sect's town-protecting immortal treasure, the Taihao Immortal Mirror?"
Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn, thinking to himself.
With his Yang Spirit, it took him half a month to fly from the Cloud Mist Blessed Land to the East Sea.
But for the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect to descend upon the East Sea using the Taihao Immortal Mirror, it only took a few moments? Is the Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect too powerful? Certainly not.
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect is only at the Void Refinement Stage, equivalent to the sixth rank of the main world, from the fourth to ninth stage.
It's impossible to have such terrifying speed.
All of this is because of the Daoist Immortal Sect's town-protecting immortal treasure.
The Taihao Immortal Mirror.
This immortal treasure's power is limitless, and its mirror light can illuminate any corner of the Central Divine Continent.
"No wonder twelve thousand years ago, when the Lord of Blood Demons in the north, the King of Ghost Cultivators in the south, and the Savage Demon Saints in the east gathered the strength of three Void Refinement Stage Ancient Saints, they wanted to start a decisive battle, but were still crushed and suppressed by the Daoist Immortal Sect."
Lin Yuan's thoughts churned.
"However, the one who just descended shouldn't be the true body of the Sect Master, but a manifestation of the immortal mirror, and to cross such a long distance and descend, it's also a considerable consumption."
Lin Yuan analyzed in his mind.
Daoist Immortal Sect.
Inside the great hall.
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, who had stood up, saw the immortal mirror above his head slowly disappearing.
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect also sat down again.
"Sect Master?"
Mu Mengting couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, he was exceptionally distressed. The Black Veil Islands were the result of his many years of effort.
Those dozen or so Transformation Stage Celestial Lords and dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not only cultivated under his command for many years and had nothing to do with the Daoist Immortal Sect, but their usefulness in the East Sea Islands was irreplaceable.
The Daoist Immortal Sect didn't care about the East Sea Islands because of their lack of resources and didn't see the need to occupy them.
But in terms of individual cultivators, if one could control even a small part of the East Sea Islands, the benefits would be considerable.
This was something Mu Mengting had realized in recent years.
But now.
Everything was gone.
They didn't know how much effort they had put in to barely cultivate over a dozen Transformation Stage Celestial Lords, only to see them all wiped out in an instant.
"He got away."
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect shook his head slightly.
As soon as this was said.
Everyone present showed shock.
Even Mu Mengting, who was exceptionally distressed, had his pupils shrink.
The Sect Master's activation of the town-protecting immortal treasure, the Taihao Immortal Mirror, with its boundless and unmatched power, actually let the person who destroyed the Black Veil Islands escape?
"Look."
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect's mind moved slightly.
Illusory scenes appeared on the hall.
Although he didn't catch the culprit just now, based on the remaining aura on the scene, he 'retraced' part of the scene.
Everyone in the hall looked at the scenes on the screen.
The Black Veil Islands, with the sea undulating.
The Black Veil Islands in the picture were very calm.
At this moment, on the clouds, a figure appeared out of nowhere.
The figure was hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to discern its specific form and appearance. It silently looked down at the Black Veil Islands below.
Under everyone's gaze.
The hazy figure above the clouds slowly extended its right hand.
In an instant, the scene began to distort, and an endless amount of fire elemental power continuously converged on the hazy figure's right hand, forming a mass of small suns composed of numerous flames of real sunfire.
The brilliance and heat of the small suns were almost on par with the sun in the sky.
What happened next sent chills down everyone's spines.
The person above the clouds, with just a light toss, threw the "small sun" in his hand towards the Black Veil Islands.
The scene ended.
"What terrifying fire elemental techniques."
A golden-haired old man couldn't help but exclaim.
To condense such a huge amount of sunfire in just a breath's time, it wasn't only due to the level of strength but also the terrifying control over the power of the sun itself.
"When did such a powerful individual appear in the East Sea?"
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect frowned.
Based on the strength displayed by the hazy figure, it had already reached the pinnacle of the Transformation Stage, and even started to approach the level of the Ancient Saints of Void Refinement.
"Keep an eye on this person."
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect said.
"Yes."
Everyone below responded in unison.
"Xiaoyao Zhilan, you two stay in the sect recently and don't go out."
Mu Lian'er glanced at Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan, transmitting her voice: "If you encounter this person, don't try to resist, just use life-saving means to escape."
After instructing Mu Lian'er, she looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting next to her and looked extremely obedient.
"You two, learn more from Wuji, don't always think about going out. It's dangerous outside, isn't Wuji good? He stays in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land all day, never going anywhere."
Mu Lian'er looked gratifiedly at her youngest son.
Although Jun Wuji had no spiritual roots, he was much steadier, at least not causing her any worries or anything like that.
Half a day later.
The Grand Ceremony of Void Refinement ended.
Under the send-off of Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan.
Lin Yuan returned to the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
"We're going back first, little brother."
Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan bid farewell and left in a hurry.
Obviously, a mysterious expert skilled in fire elemental techniques appeared in the East Sea, attracting the attention of the Daoist Immortal Sect. They needed to go back and discuss how to deal with this expert.
The Daoist Immortal Sect was extremely domineering in its actions and absolutely wouldn't allow powerful individuals beyond its control to appear.
One month later.
News came from the East Sea.
The White Jade Island is about to appear.
White Jade Island is a very special island, equivalent to a blessed land in the East Sea, filled with rich spiritual energy, belonging to a sacred place for cultivation.
However, White Jade Island is not fixed in place. It sinks into the depths of the sea every two thousand years.
The depths of the sea are extremely dangerous, where ancient monstrous beasts from tens of thousands of years ago lurk.
So every time White Jade Island sinks, the cultivators on the island can only leave, and even the Transformation Stage Celestial Lords dare not sink with White Jade Island.
In the depths of the sea, there is a terrifying pressure, and even Transformation Stage Celestial Lords will be restricted in strength. Coupled with those unfathomable ancient monstrous beasts...
Even Transformation Stage Celestial Lords would feel scalp tingling.
And it has been two thousand years since White Jade Island last sank into the depths of the sea. Calculating the time, White Jade Island is about to resurface soon.
At that time, White Jade Island will bring with it accumulated spiritual energy from two thousand years, returning to the East Sea.
You know, the East Sea itself has a low concentration of spiritual energy, with only a few dozen suitable places for cultivation, most of which are occupied by various factions.
Now that White Jade Island is about to appear, countless East Sea cultivators are gearing up to occupy a cultivation cave on White Jade Island.
Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
In the cultivation chamber.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and the aura within his body was slowly undergoing changes, seeming to be evolving little by little.
Finally.
As if reaching a certain limit.
Lin Yuan's entire aura suddenly soared, then quickly converged.
"Sixth Rank."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
