Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 141 Changing Homes
Jing Qian nodded upon hearing this. This demon race of the vast sea had a way of courting death.

If the other party treats humans so harshly, then he has a legitimate reason to fight.

As for the albino old tortoise in front of him, it had long been on Jing Qian's list of names on the path of [Spirit Subduing].

Now that they were meeting ahead of time, he naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. He vanished and disappeared towards the old tortoise.

At the same time, an extremely powerful [Bone-Scraping] sword aura, activating the second-grade [Yin Sword], and benefiting from the blessing of numerous sword dao [destiny], struck in concealment.

However, this old tortoise possessed a divine destiny called "tortoise divination," which could discern good and bad fortune. In the darkness, it sensed an extremely strong killing intent.

Instinctively, it swiftly retracted its head into its shell.

But just then, a human-shaped shadow quietly appeared behind it and pointed at its rear.

A greatsword, invisible to all, pierced fiercely from another dimension!
Intense sword energy erupted from its body.

The old turtle felt a sharp pain all over its body, as if its intestines were being ripped open, causing it to involuntarily stretch its head forward.

But the next second, another hidden sword light sliced ​​across its neck, severing its head.

The second-grade [Yin Sword] is also extremely powerful!

A massive amount of turtle blood gushed out, and every last drop was collected and stored in a spatial rift.

The third demon, the "Star-Picking Demon," was slain by Jing Qian, but it contributed a full 340 years of its lifespan, truly making it the longest-lived race.

Jing Qian revealed himself and said to Ao Run:
"Let's go, take me to the cave first."

Then, he shot out several threads, which carried the old turtle's carcass, and rose towards the surface of the water.

On board the Dingyuan, Luo Tian immediately spotted the large turtle carcass surfacing and exclaimed in surprise:
"【White Realm Turtle】?"

"It's a top-quality material!"

"Master Chi, take me to draw some more [Great Sun True Flame], and I'll process the ingredients from this old turtle and stew them together. We can make a pot of [Turtle Yang Soup], which is an extremely nourishing tonic!"

Jing Qian nodded and said to Ao Run:

"I would like to trouble you, Dragon Girl, to guide my ship girl."

After saying that, he led Luo Tian into the cabin to receive the Great Sun True Flame.

The third time he drew upon the malevolent fire, Luo Tian absorbed twenty times the amount of fire from the first time.

As he used the Great Sun Flame to cook more and more dishes, he became increasingly familiar with the properties of fire.

With enough malevolent fire, he focused intently on preparing the White Bone Tortoise and began brewing Tortoise Yang Soup.

At that time, this small team will be able to freeload meals and take off in a big wave.

Taking advantage of this free time, Jing Qian leaped into the [Sumeru] dimension. This time, he did not go into the [Void Realm], but instead came to the [Blood River Cave Heaven].

After changing owners and undergoing renovations, [Blood River Cave Heaven] has undergone a complete transformation.

The area of ​​the entire cave has shrunk by half, and its interior is no longer a filthy mess of blood and flesh, but more like a normal plain.

The one responsible for restoring this grotto was the meritorious [Ghost Phoenix].

Only this third-rank demon could accomplish such a transformation in such a short time.

Although [Ghost Phoenix] is a [spiritual machine] controlled by [Good Corn], Jing Qian still has a great influence over it. He then asked:
"Phoenix Lord, could this grotto-heaven be nurturing living beings?"

But then [Ghost Phoenix] said:
"It's almost done, but the vital energy is severely depleted. It was all devoured by the [Void Realm], and it still can't support the cultivation of a mid-level third-grade cultivator."

Jing Qian nodded and continued:

"Feng Jun, please divide the village according to my previous plan and build up the basic living facilities."

"Someone is about to enter this realm."

Using a phoenix of the third rank as a laborer in infrastructure construction, Jingqian is truly unique.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed to the very bottom of the two grotto heavens.

Here, a lone [Shattered Star] hovers, with faint primordial energy emanating from it.

A thin membrane is also slowly evolving.

This [Shattered Star] was obtained by compressing the remnants of [Feathered Root Realm] with [Good Corn].

After being nurtured by Jing Qian to produce a Yuan Qi Core, it evolved into [Shattered Star].

This star is an important component of Jing Qian's [Sumeru] power. After its boundary membrane has evolved and undergone basic modifications, it can also support life.

The cultivation of grotto-heavens and stars is one of the ways he enhances his own foundation.

The enhancement of [Sumeru]'s power provides him with comprehensive blessings.

Jing Qian used his position as the Lord of All Things to move the Blood River Cave Heaven onto the Shattered Star, gradually merging the two together.

The power between the grotto and the stars has been cleverly integrated.

The Blood River Cave Heaven merged into the boundary membrane of the Shattered Star, causing the boundary membrane of the star to successfully evolve. Instantly, a thin layer of primordial energy began to diffuse beneath the atmosphere of the star.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Qian made a sweeping gesture, and a huge spatial wormhole appeared on the [Shattered Star].

The other end of the wormhole connects to the seabed of the vast ocean.

A massive amount of seawater was swallowed up by this spatial wormhole and then transported to this star.

A huge suspended river suddenly appeared before Jing Qian, and soon it gathered into a large lake on the stars.

For the first time, life appeared on this desolate star.

Countless unfortunate marine creatures were carried along by the suspended river to this new world.

Jing Qian is using the resources of the Yingfu Pagoda Realm to nurture his own Sumeru world.

The ocean, which may seem insignificant on ordinary days, is an incredibly valuable physical resource when viewed from a territorial perspective.

If [Shattered Star] were to rely on itself to evolve into an ocean, it would require at least hundreds of thousands of years and a massive amount of primordial energy to evolve.

Jing Qian looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, expending his magic power to maintain the water pumping channel, while he himself vanished and returned to the mortal world.

The calm ocean was stirred into violent waves by his manipulation, and the sinking of the sea surface evolved into a huge whirlpool.

Like a swimming fish, the Dingyuan sailed swiftly away, riding the wind and waves.

As the ship sailed, one spatial wormhole after another was opened on the seabed by Jing Qian, creating more and more passages to extract resources from the vast ocean, and the extraction speed became faster and faster.

During this process, even some marine creatures that had entered the sea were swept away by the boundless seawater.

His fierce movements naturally did not escape the notice of the great demon in the vast sea.

Inside the [Dragon Palace of the Vast Ocean], the golden dragon on the [Dragon-Guiding Stake] roared fiercely:

"Even if he is Chunyangzi, he cannot humiliate my Hanhai Dragon Clan like this!"

"Go and beat the [General's Drum] to gather all the dragon sons and grandsons together to resist [Chunyangzi]!"

Beside Jing Qian, the Dragon Girl Ao Run was also shocked by his extravagant gesture and couldn't help but ask:
"Daozi, aren't you being a bit too high-profile!"

"In that case, the various aquatic creatures in the vast ocean will likely unite to jointly besiege and annihilate you!"

Jing Qian smiled slightly, clearly having anticipated this outcome.

He then answered:
“Dragon Girl, although the guards in the vast sea are not exactly strict, they will definitely not allow me to just walk through them one by one.”

"It won't be long before they discover that I'm hunting down powerful demons at the [Star-Picking] level or higher."

"It was expected that the other party would band together to make things difficult for me."

"For me, the opponent is not important; the choice of battlefield is the most crucial factor."

"If we could lure many of the dragon descendants out of their caves, that would be ideal."

After speaking, he slightly opened his Three Lives Eyes and scanned the entire vast sea.

Except for one secluded corner where no one could peek, the movements of all the true dragons were laid bare before him like a mirror.

[Chunyangzi] has been absent from the world for a long time, and everyone's understanding and assessment of Jingqian are greatly biased.

While the Han Hai Dragon Clan thought that by forming alliances and gathering more powerful demons to surround him, they could suppress this third-rank [Chun Yang Zi], he had already prepared graves for these [Dragon God] offspring.

Before long, the Dingyuan arrived at the location indicated by Ao Run.

The Dragon Girl led Jing Qian into the deep sea.

She spoke as she walked:
"Back then, in order to suppress my mother, the Dragon God almost wiped out my mother's clan, the Merfolk."

"It is a second-grade [Dragon God], the strongest in this vast sea, and no one can stop it." "My mother could only hide the last few members of her clan in a secluded cave and settle them here."

"I beg you, Daoist, not to harm my people when you take the cave."

Jing Qian had no objection to this. He followed Ao Run all the way into a cave called [Mermaid Island].

As far as the eye can see, this cave is not very large, less than one-third the size of the [Blood River Cave] in its current state.

The cave is filled with rippling blue water, completely dominated by water.

With a sweep of his divine eyes, Jing Qian discovered that there were only four small mermaids with human bodies and fish tails in this place. Each of them was extremely beautiful, but none of them had a cultivation level higher than the seventh rank.

Ao Run was quite familiar with this place, and after entering, he quickly summoned the four little mermaids.

They were then led out of the cave, leaving only Jing Qian inside the [Mermaid Island].

Ao Run really went all out!

A second-grade [Spiritual Ability] and a grotto-heaven—these two items alone are enough to suppress the fortune of the [Mermaid Clan].

But she went all in, using it all to gain an opportunity to fight for her own path.

Only if Jing Qian can truly secure the [Dragon Palace of the Vast Ocean] for her and give her control over the True Dragon Clan can all her sacrifices be rewarded handsomely.

In the entire Yingfutu world, only Ao Run, who had truly experienced the power of the previous generation of Chunyangzi, dared to make such a huge investment in Chunyangzi.

After all, the apparent difference in strength between the two sides is unbelievably large!

One side is a junior cultivator with only a seventh-grade cultivation level and a short period of cultivation.

On the other side is the True Dragon Clan, which controls the vast ocean and rules over billions of living beings. No matter how you look at it, this little cultivator is unlikely to win.

However, the core disciples of each Dao Ancestor lineage are all beings who defy cognition and common sense.

All the rules are left for the Dao Child to break!
What Jing Qian wanted to do was simply to thoroughly implement his will onto the enemy, just like the former Chunyangzi.

When he activated [Sumeru] and began to transport this new grotto-heaven into the dimension, a total of twelve true dragons gathered in [Hanhai Dragon Palace].

These dragon sons, of noble blood, are all direct descendants of the previous [Dragon God], and their cultivation level is at least at the [Star-Picking] rank.

Among them, the eldest prince Ao Zhen has the highest cultivation level, already at the third-grade [Heaven-Mending] realm, and has successfully subdued the [Dragon-Guiding Stake], so he can be considered half a [Dragon God].

After it had gathered all its brothers, it spoke:
"The newly appointed [Chunyangzi] wants to emulate his predecessors and come to my vast ocean to train, regarding my sea monsters as his playthings and fish to be eaten."

“In my sea monster clan, three fellow Daoists have already perished: Mud Dragon, Tide Coral, and White Realm Turtle.”

“Now, that Chunyangzi is using the power of his cave to plunder the resources of my vast sea and weaken its essence. This is intolerable.”

"The reason I have gathered you brothers here today is to unite the strength of the entire clan to suppress [Chunyangzi]."

"This move concerns the status of my dragon race and is another crucial juncture after the fall of my [Dragon God]."

"I beg my brothers to lend me a hand!"

Ao Zhen explained his thoughts very clearly.

However, a different voice emerged from among the dragon princes. The seventh prince, Ao Yuan, spoke up:
"Brother, how dare you covet [Chunyangzi]?"

"Ren Chong, have you forgotten the sword that killed your father?"

"And there's the actual combat power that Shangxi displayed in the battle against the Great Sages [Yao Gu Lin Hai] a while ago."

"Even if we were tied up, we wouldn't be enough to withstand a single sword strike from Master Xi!"

"You beat the [commanding drum] and I had no choice but to come, but if you want to make things difficult for [Chunyangzi], then don't blame me for disobeying orders."

Ao Yuan clearly suffers from severe PTSD related to the Pure Yang Master; he didn't even bother to inquire about the new Pure Yang Master's cultivation level.

However, there were quite a few dragon princes who shared similar ideas with Ao Yuan. For a time, not a single dragon prince directly responded to Ao Zhen's call.

Faced with this awkward situation, Ao Zhen spoke up directly:

"I'm not out of my mind, how could I have killed Chunyangzi?"

"However, Ao Run has now clashed with Chunyangzi and has left his Dragon Palace to stay by Chunyangzi's side."

"I don't need to elaborate on Ao Run's background and personality. If the [Chunyangzi] she tricked ends up fighting for the [Hanhai Dragon Palace] on her behalf, how will you deal with it?"

"I just hope that everyone can join forces to force Chunyangzi to withdraw from our struggle for the throne."

"This matter concerns the vital interests of each and every one of us, so don't let us down at this crucial moment."

In the eyes of the dragons, Ao Run was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb.

She has an irreconcilable feud with the Dragon Clan, and behind her stands the extremely powerful [Chunyangzi].

The dragons were torn between killing her and not daring to kill her, and accepting her and not wanting to accept her.

She has now made contact with the contemporary [Chunyangzi], a scene that all the dragon princes and grandsons least want to see.

Although the princes' struggle for the throne was a contest of principles, it did not actually involve life or death.

But if Ao Run gains power, it could lead to deaths.

"Ao Hua, what do you say?"

Ao Zhen asked.

This Ao Hua is one of only two third-rank beings in the Dragon Clan, and his status is different.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"What Your Majesty says is the right thing to do, and we should cooperate."

"However, now that my elder brother has occupied the [Dragon Palace of the Vast Ocean], it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is half a leader of our dragon clan. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to hide behind his brothers, would it?"

"If Your Majesty takes the lead in negotiating with that [Chunyangzi], we will naturally follow suit."

Ao Zhen spat a few times, but since he was already being held here, he then spoke:
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. I certainly won't fall behind anyone else."

"Currently, Chunyangzi and Ao Run are not far apart. Brothers, please come with me."

Having said that, the golden dragon that had been hovering above the [Dragon-Guiding Stake] suddenly soared into the air, stirring up thousands of waves.

Following closely behind, eleven colorful true dragon offspring also chased after Ao Zhen.

In an instant, the entire vast ocean was shaken. On the sea surface, huge waves surged and flew into the sky, and fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs fled in disarray.

With the speed of your true dragons, it will take no more than half an hour to catch up with Jing Qian.

All of this, naturally, could not escape Jing Qian's "Three Lives Eye".

He stood up from the deck of the Dingyuan, stretched lazily, loosened his muscles, turned around and went into the cabin, heading to the galley.

Luo Tian was still there, intently brewing the [Turtle Yang Soup], sweating profusely from the [Great Sun True Flame].

Jing Qian asked:
"Old Luo, how much longer will it take to cook this pot of soup?"

"It'll be done soon, in at most three more days!"

"The timing is just right. I'll come and drink your soup after I've finished dealing with the dragon clan. You should find a quiet place to hide away first, so as not to spoil this pot of good soup."

After saying that, Jing Qian gently placed his right hand on Luo Tian's shoulder. With the divine power of [Sumeru], he teleported the cook and cooking utensils to a deserted island thousands of miles away.

Luo Tian was taken aback by the sudden change of environment, but nothing was more important than making soup, so he sat down and continued to simmer it.

Jing Qian experienced the increasingly powerful [Sumeru] energy and felt quite satisfied.

This spatial dimension, [Destiny], is steadily growing stronger as the power he gathers within the dimensions becomes increasingly substantial.

Among the many paths of cultivation, the [Destiny] related to space is the most important for accumulation. It is the top-level late stage of the path of great accumulation and eventual release. Jing Qian has only just begun to show some of the divine power of the [Lord of Sumeru].

He clapped his hands, closing all the channels that were pouring seawater into the [Shattered Star], and the entire star was now a large water sphere covered by seawater.

Then, he used his magic to send the ship girl and the Dingyuan into the water sphere, where they floated on the surface of the water.

In this world, only Jing Qian and Ao Run remain.

Jing Qian said:
"Fellow Daoist Ao, your brothers have already left the Dragon Palace and are heading here. Are you ready?"

"Once this great battle begins, it will be out of our control. If things really go wrong, I will definitely be able to escape. At that time, whether you live or die will be entirely up to fate."

Ao Run's expression was cold, and his voice was clear and calm as he spoke:
"Don't worry, Daozi, even if I die, I will haunt you as a ghost!"

Jing Qian laughed heartily, took the dragon girl's hand, and with the opening of his Three Lives Eye, the two of them vanished from the spot.

When the dragon princes and grandsons rushed over from thousands of miles away, Jing Qian and Ao Run appeared directly above the [Han Hai Dragon Palace].

This is the master of all tactical transitions!
