Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 355 Seven Kingdoms Gather, A High-Profile Debut
Tianquan Peak.

"Azure Wave Island!"

After watching the Fairy of Rainbow Robes depart, Lin Chang'an sat down in the pavilion, sipping his spiritual tea and lost in thought.

With his skills continuously improving over the years and so many helpers, it's not impossible for them to succeed together.

After all, there is also the Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Zhenjun, behind him.

"Moo!"

Just then, the green-horned ox in the pool poked its head out and made a deep, resonant sound.

This made Lin Chang'an turn around and look at the Green Horned Ox, which had finally broken through to the mid-stage of the third tier a few years ago, and he couldn't help but nod:

"Not bad, we've finally caught up. Phoenix Bird and I are now heading towards the later stages, so you can't slack off."

Faced with his master's words, the Green Horned Ox was speechless with frustration. What kind of words were these? They were too much of a bully to the ox.

Its cultivation speed is so fast that it would be the envy of countless cows outside.

"You're still glaring!"

Seeing the aggrieved look in Qingjiao Niu's eyes, Lin Chang'an glared at him in annoyance.

"Look at your current cultivation conditions. How many cultivation resources do you consume from me every year? And there's even this pure demonic energy to assist you."

There are only fifty-odd years left before the secret realm opens. I must strive to break through to the late stage of the third tier before it opens, otherwise…”

Lin Chang'an shook his head, not uttering his usual threatening words, but instead feigning a worried expression and sighing:
"This secret realm is fraught with danger. If things become unbearable, you have at least been with me for over a hundred years. I will then refine you into a Yin Sha Corpse Puppet."

Good heavens, upon hearing this, the Green Horned Ox's eyes widened, and it couldn't help but shake its head repeatedly, emitting a loud moo in protest.

However, Lin Chang'an looked worried and put down his teacup as he walked towards the cave.

This caused the Green Horned Ox, which was watching its master enter the cave, to fall into deep thought.

The late stage of the third tier, with less than sixty years to spare?
That's really bullying the cow.

Upon entering the cave, Lin Chang'an revealed a faint smile.

Pressure is motivation. He felt a chill in his heart at the current situation. Judging from the state of the Demon Beast Abyss, a great battle after the secret realm was inevitable.

At that time, Core Formation cultivators will be nothing more than high-level cannon fodder.

Moreover, this secret realm is also his opportunity, a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Hopefully, it won't disappoint him.

……

Upon entering the cave, invisible barriers rippled, making it even more secluded than before.

[Tier 3 High-Grade Array Master (Grandmaster 3/5000)]

"And in the past five years, I have finally broken through to the third-tier high-grade in the art of formations, meeting the requirements of this Sixth Elder."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but smile. Over the years, he had made good progress not only in formations, but also in talismans, weapon crafting, alchemy, and even puppetry.

[Tier 3 Mid-Grade Talisman Master (Proficiency 912/1000)]

[Tier 3 Mid-Grade Alchemist (Proficiency 869/1000)]

[Tier 3 Mid-Grade Refiner (Proficiency 236/1000)]

[Tier 2 High-Grade Puppet Master (Grandmaster 3/5000)]

Looking at his current mastery of four mainstream skills, all of which have reached the third rank, and even his breakthrough in formation techniques to the superior rank, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but nod in approval.

"The reason why the art of array formations was able to catch up and surpass others was not only because of the array formation insights given to us by the Sixth Elder, but also because of the fourth-order array breaking inheritance we obtained from the Yin Soul Sect."

After all, it was because of this inherited knowledge that he progressed so rapidly, far exceeding his initial expectations.

"And the talismans, alchemy, weapon crafting, and even these puppets are all thanks to the legacy of the Yin Soul Sect."

Looking at his skills, Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction and made his way into the Earth Fire Cave.

"Crack! Crack!"

As the massive stone gate opened, two ten-foot-tall gatekeeper puppets appeared, pushing open the gate and making a sound.

"good."

Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction after looking at them; these two puppets were the best he had made so far.

He possesses the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, especially in terms of power, which is no less than that of other body cultivators of the same level.

"Although it is said that as long as you have enough resources, you can have an endless army of puppets, puppets also have obvious weaknesses."

That is, being countered by attacks of the divine soul.

After all, ordinary puppets are made by using the Soul-Trapping Technique to extract the souls from the corpses of low-level spirit beasts and then re-condense and refine them into the puppet.

The advantage of low-level spirit beasts' souls is that they are easy to tame, but the disadvantage is that their spirits are weak.

Even powerful demonic beasts, though possessing strong divine souls, are difficult to tame and create puppets from.

"Although cultivators can control it with their divine sense, it is obviously more difficult and a burden for them."

Looking at the two puppets, Lin Chang'an shook his head. Although puppetry is powerful, it is relatively rare in the cultivation world, and there are reasons for that.

This doesn't even include maintenance and wear and tear.

Of course, this cannot be generalized; the cultivation world has never lacked people with amazing talents.

Advanced puppetry techniques, through secret and special soul-refining methods, can refine the essence of powerful demonic beasts.

If there weren't so many restrictions, the various arts of cultivation wouldn't be centered around the four major categories of talismans, artifacts, pills, and formations.

"Bang bang bang!"

The enormous underground fire cave has also undergone tremendous changes over the years.

Lava flowed slowly from the surrounding rock walls, illuminating the entire cave, making it feel like a giant lava cavern.

The sound was from a clone swinging a large hammer, forging a magical artifact.

On the other side, the second clone used the array platform and the power of the earth fire to solemnly refine pills.

The third clone, on a jade platform, was completely unaffected by the intense heat, holding its breath and concentrating as it drew a talisman.

"Owner!"

Just then, a crisp sound rang out, and a huge, towering tree, radiating golden spiritual light, was seen rooted in the magma, exuding vibrant life.

On the tree trunk, the phoenix, seeing its master arrive, excitedly flew over and landed on its shoulder.

Then it skillfully spread its wings, fanned itself, and patted its shoulders to ingratiate itself.

"Master, the secret realm will open in less than sixty years. I must break through to the late stage of the third tier as soon as possible so that I can help you..."

The phoenix's impassioned words left Lin Chang'an speechless.

If the green-horned ox is honest and simple, then this bird is shrewd and clever.

The two spirit pets he raised had completely opposite personalities.

"Speaking bird language."

"Yes, Master. It's been a long time since I've had a fire-attribute demon core."

The phoenix bird cautiously looked at its master. It was its master's fault for not letting it out. Otherwise, it would not be trapped in this cave every day, unable to even get a demon core.

However, the thoughts of the phoenix could not be hidden from Lin Chang'an, who let out a cold laugh.

"Envious of the two-headed tiger? Fine, go ahead and leave if you want. You should know that the Xuan Yin Old Demon, who is skilled at crafting corpse puppets, has been watching and searching for your whereabouts."

And that transformed Yin Spirit Beast King from the Ghost Realm, although your small body is a bit weak, it's still a great tonic..."

As Lin Chang'an's nonchalant voice echoed, the phoenix was startled and jumped.

"Master, let me tell you."

Lin Chang'an glanced at the phoenix on his shoulder, then shook his head with a smile. This bird was good in every way, except that it was too clever.

He then looked at the towering tree, the Fusang Divine Tree, which had been black and decaying over the years, now possessed the essence of the past.

Now it once again radiates a pale golden light, with less than one-fifth of the original black demonic energy remaining.

In particular, the revival of the Fusang Divine Tree in recent years, and the spiritual fire it generates, which has a restraining effect on demonic energy, has accelerated this process.

"The Divine Sword that Pierces the Sun!"

With a thought, golden light flashed across the sky, and flying swords gleaming with golden light surrounded him. This sight made the phoenix on his shoulder stare wide-eyed with greed.

It's a golden magical artifact, and it's fire-attribute; it would be a lie to say I don't like it.

Lin Chang'an casually picked up a flying sword, its blade radiating intense heat, with wisps of flame occasionally swirling around it.

"With the revival of the Fusang Divine Tree, the spiritual fire is much stronger than before. It's a pity that the Fusang Divine Tree has been corroded for too long, resulting in a great loss of its spiritual essence."

This made him sigh every time he thought about it.

Just like what the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King clone said last time, it's a pity that it's only a three-thousand-year-old red flame right now. If it were to reach the yellow level, even its true form would have to be wary.

It should be noted that the true form of this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King is at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, equivalent to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and at its peak, it even reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, the other party was still wary of such spiritual fire. Although there were factors that restrained it, the potential of the Fusang Divine Tree could still be seen.

"It's a pity that I have too many things to do right now, and I simply don't have the extra energy to find the treasure to restore the spiritual power of the Fusang Divine Tree."

Or rather, given his current strength, even if such a spiritual object truly existed, it wouldn't be his turn.

This is the only option for now.

Even so, his magic weapon is definitely a top-tier existence in the Core Formation Realm.

……

Immediately, Lin Chang'an waved his hand, and the flying sword transformed into a golden tree once more, while the phoenix flew happily back to its nest.

Lin Chang'an transformed into a beam of light and arrived at the core of the formation.

A huge black gourd is devouring the extracted demonic energy.

"I never expected that the treasure made from this Yinming Stone could perfectly seal the demonic energy and prevent it from being corroded."

This Yinming Stone was left behind by the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King of the Ghost Realm. He later discovered that it could be used to store demonic energy.

Over the years, he has wasted a lot of energy storing demonic energy.

"This Yinming Stone is a top-quality material for refining magical artifacts, especially for crafting flying needles, hidden arrows, and other insidious weapons; it is a rare and precious item."

He pondered for a moment and realized that he didn't need this item right now, since he still had three Yin Spirit Diamonds, which were much more powerful than this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been valued by this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King.

He wanted to refine a magical artifact for the Yin Spirit Two-Headed Tiger.

"Over the years, it has been thanks to the two-headed tiger's continuous exploration of the Tongtian Mist Sea that we have had a steady stream of cultivation materials."

But as he continued to explore, he found it increasingly difficult in the past two years.

After all, the two-headed tiger is still somewhat weak. However, at the early stage of the third tier, it is best to prepare some defensive items if you want to explore further.

The Yinming Stone's properties are a perfect match, and the magical artifacts crafted from it are specifically designed to damage the soul, which is also effective against Yin spirits.

"It's not just this two-headed tiger, but also the green-horned ox and the phoenix bird. These are all my hidden methods."

Lin Chang'an's eyes flashed. Capable cultivators would equip their spirit pets with suitable magic weapons to increase their combat power.

Over the years, many people have generously donated a lot of materials to him, and since he has the ability to do so, he can also improve his weapon-refining skills, which is a win-win situation.

"However, we are still missing some rare materials. It will be much easier once we take over Bibo Island and open a black market."

Just then, Lin Chang'an seemed to sense it and couldn't help but smile. His figure transformed into a beam of light and flew out of the cave.

……

"Owner."

Upon seeing Lin Chang'an, the sword attendant who had returned from the market couldn't help but smile and quickly stepped forward to bow in greeting.

"Master, the market has been doing well these past two years. This is the profit for this quarter."

The sword attendant respectfully took out a bulging storage bag, and Lin Chang'an nodded and smiled.

In recent years, Zhou Bingxuan, Li Tianmo, and Shen Zhuang have all done quite well in the market.

However, Lin Chang'an was more satisfied with the sword servant's cultivation level, which had not declined over the years.

"Tell your subordinates that as long as they do well in the future, they may still have a chance to form their core."

As his strength grew, Lin Chang'an realized that he couldn't always leave the sword servants to handle trivial matters.

If you want your subordinates to put in the effort, you can't just make empty promises.

It must also have real practical significance.

"A chance to form the Golden Core!?"

After hearing this, the sword attendant silently looked at her master, wanting to do more for him.

"As for you, you might have to take care of other things for me in the future."

Once the black market on Azure Wave Island is taken over, Sword Servant will be the best and most capable assistant.

Moreover, with the strength of the sword attendant, even ordinary mid-stage Core Formation cultivators would be no match for him, which is enough to deter some petty villains.

Lin Chang'an then explained the situation of the black market on Bibo Island.

Upon hearing this, the sword attendant firmly cupped her hands and said, "Master, rest assured, this servant will certainly not disappoint you."

"Although the Meng couple agreed, Bibo Island is not something that one party can decide on its own, and there may be some twists and turns."

If the Bibo Island black market were so easy to take over, Fairy Ni Chang wouldn't have asked him to join forces.

Although Lu Zhenjun is a Nascent Soul cultivator, the others may still have powerful backers, given the huge profits involved.

"Currently, the Azure Sea Palace has an agreement with various major forces that Nascent Soul cultivators are not allowed to interfere with the turmoil below before the secret realm opens."

If they are merely Core Formation cultivators, the combined strength of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is by no means weak.

Lin Chang'an pondered silently. Over the years, the Seven Kingdoms Alliance had experienced both bad and good things here, and its overall strength was considerable.

With nearly twenty Core Formation cultivators, they would definitely be considered a formidable force in any sea area.

Moreover, the fact that this force has now coalesced is likely at the behest of the Azure Sea Palace.

After all, no matter what, Lu Zhenjun is still an outsider and has only been a member for a short time. Now, this so-called Seven Kingdoms Alliance occupies a spirit island.

The clashes and frictions with certain forces are something that the Azure Sea Palace is actually happy to see.

"Get ready. Next, we'll go to the Sky-Piercing Mist Sea first, and then to Azure Wave Island."

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Chang'an's gaze remained calm; he hoped that Bibo Island would not disappoint him.

……

Deep within the misty, cloud-shrouded Tongtian Sea, the fog's isolation of divine sense is even more severe; even Core Formation cultivators dare not venture here lightly.

One wrong step and you could lose your way here, forever trapped, ultimately dying and your soul becoming part of the evil spirits of this place. However, within the island, rare traces of human cultivators have appeared.

The roar of battle completely disappeared after a short while.

"As we went deeper, the number of third-order Yin spirits began to increase dramatically. This place truly deserves to be a holy land for countless tribulation cultivators and demonic cultivators."

The Sun-Piercing Divine Sword, surrounded by wisps of flame, flew back, while Lin Chang'an solemnly marked a mark on the Tongtian Mist Sea Map.

This means the island has been cleared.

“Master, there are many high-quality Xuan water liquids from the Yin vein spiritual springs on the island, as well as a spirit stone mine that is almost exposed to the elements.”

Following the sword attendant's report, Lin Chang'an used his escape technique to arrive at the depths of the island's valley, where he indeed found a spirit stone mine that was partially exposed.

"The quality looks pretty good."

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an nodded in satisfaction and then recorded the situation of the spirit island again on his Tongtian Mist Sea Map.

The spirit stone vein is of good quality and worth mining.

There have been quite a few discoveries of spirit ore, some of which are of lower quality, and some of which are spirit ore produced outside. So far, he has only discovered a few places with mining value.

In the past, strength was one factor, but another was the inability to mine it, so he could only record it first.

But things are different now. Once they take over Azure Wave Island, the Seven Kingdoms Alliance will have enough strength to exploit it.

After all, most of the Seven Nations Alliance have not been doing well in recent years, so they will definitely go all out if they have this opportunity.

"Moreover, when mining deep into the Tongtian Mist Sea, one is not allowed to purchase formations for concealment and defense? One is not allowed to buy two more high-level talismans for protection? There are even magic treasures involved."

After careful consideration, Lin Chang'an already had a plan in mind.

As a sword cultivator who practices the Fiend Yuan Sword Technique, it's reasonable for him to hunt the Yin Spirit Beast King in the Tongtian Mist Sea, as he is supposed to be able to suppress Yin Spirits.
It's reasonable to find a few spirit mines, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an smiled with satisfaction; this was the greatest benefit.

He didn't provide this spirit ore for nothing.

With his current strength and status as an elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, he is capable of protecting this property.

"Moo!"

Meanwhile, in the distance, the Green Horned Ox was affectionately rubbing against the Two-Headed Tiger's fur, and the Yin Spirit Two-Headed Tiger was also rubbing against each other.

The two beasts had not seen each other for many years and naturally missed each other dearly.

Even the sword attendant showed a rare smile of melting as he took out a spiritual item to feed the two-headed tiger.

As the two-headed tiger happily enjoyed its meal, even the usually gluttonous green-horned ox didn't feel tempted.

Although it cannot speak human language, it clearly knows that the two-headed tiger has certainly not had as comfortable a life as it has had in recent years.

Seeing this, Lin Chang'an was speechless. It seemed that the two-headed tiger was not doing as well as the two beasts.

But in reality, the Tongtian Mist Sea is the most suitable place for cultivation, and it also provides nourishment from time to time with Yin Spirit Demon Cores, making it much faster than cultivating there.

However, his gaze swept past the two-headed tiger and finally settled on the three-headed Yin Sha Corpse Puppet.

"These three Yin Sha Corpse Puppets have finally been completed."

Three burly, terrifying-looking corpse puppets stood in a row, coldly indifferent.

One head at the peak of the early stage of the third tier, and two heads at the early stage of the third tier.

The Yin Sha Corpse Puppet possesses combat power comparable to other body refiners of the same level, making it an extremely useful tool for Lin Chang'an.

They can even be used to cover the rear without hesitation in dangerous situations.

"After cleaning up the battlefield, it's almost time for the agreed-upon time."

"Yes, Master."

After obtaining three more Yin Spirit Demon Cores and some rare Yin Spirit Ash, the two-headed tiger let out a lonely and reluctant sound.

The seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted swordsman was even more reluctant to leave a Yin Spirit Demon Core for the two-headed tiger.

This scene naturally did not escape Lin Chang'an's notice.

"Alright, if we take Bibo Island this time, the distance will be much shorter in the future."

After calming down the two-headed tiger Yinling Beast King, Lin Chang'an and his group transformed into streaks of light and left the place.

……

On an unnamed island at the edge of the abyss, streaks of light flashed, leading elite disciples from the sect and family to arrive in a high-profile manner.

In the surrounding waters, many independent cultivators who had gone out hunting or were returning home stared in shock at the distant deserted island.

"What happened? How come there are so many Core Formation cultivators?!"

"This aura is equivalent to more than ten Core Formation cultivators, and there are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators as well. Could it be that they are hunting some kind of terrifying demon?"

"Shut up! Look at that Azure Feathered Eagle. It belongs to the Xuan Yin Pavilion, and it also bears the aura of other Core Formation cultivators' magical artifacts. It's from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance!"

“There are over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators. We must leave quickly and absolutely not provoke them.”

The surrounding cultivators and spirit ships hurriedly took cover, fearing they might provoke this powerful enemy.

With the combined strength of the seven nations on the island, they are definitely a powerful force below the Nascent Soul stage.

"Isn't this Brother Wu from Liang Kingdom?"

"Haha, it's been a long time. These years in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss are really not as good as the days when we were in the Seven Kingdoms."

On a desolate mountain on an unnamed island, a dozen Core Formation cultivators met and all showed expressions of melancholy and nostalgia.

Back in the Seven Kingdoms era, they were enemies who wished each other dead, but so many years have passed, and given what they've been through in recent years...

When we meet again, a feeling of mutual appreciation and kinship inevitably arises in my heart.

"Yes, each sea area has its own power, and the Azure Sea Palace cannot sit idly by and watch our seven kingdoms unite. Otherwise, it would have already taken over a sea area."

Among the Core Formation cultivators were both elderly and newly promoted, but over the past century, they had put aside their prejudices against each other and cherished this cooperation immensely.

Just as they gathered, the exclamations of the scattered cultivators and the cultivators on passing merchant ships were all heard by the powerful divine sense of the Core Formation cultivator.

This allowed many cultivators who had been unhappy in recent years to show a rare display of pride.

If the Seven Kingdoms Alliance joins forces, and with the support of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they might just be able to establish a foothold.

Meanwhile, there were also Foundation Establishment disciples from various sects and families on the island, all sitting cross-legged at the foot of the desolate mountain, some meditating, others whispering to each other.

Others were secretly glancing at the disciples from other sects and families within the Seven Kingdoms Alliance whom they had never seen before.

Men and women were present, and it was inevitable that they would secretly observe and talk to each other.

Just then, a loud eagle cry rang out, and countless cultivators looked up in surprise, only to see a huge, imposing third-tier Azure Feathered Eagle tearing through the clouds.

Behind them followed two Azure Feathered Eagles with near-third-tier auras, carrying dozens of Foundation Establishment disciples from the Xuan Yin Pavilion on their backs, all looking down at the people below with pride.

The Xuan Yin Pavilion of today is no longer the defeated and homeless dog it was back in the Yue Kingdom, when it was so badly beaten that it was ready to abandon its foundation.

Among the seven kingdoms, Xuan Yin Pavilion is undoubtedly the number one power.

"Look, it's Fairy Rainbow!"

The most renowned genius among the seven kingdoms, Fairy Ni Chang, stood proudly atop the Azure Feather Eagle, her azure and white robes showcasing the majesty of the Xuan Yin Pavilion's leader.

Today, she even wore a blue jade veil hat.

Countless tiny bells, as fine as grains of rice, are strung together with mithril threads to weave a shimmering jade bell veil hat, with the thin veil hanging down to the waist.

Swaying in the wind, the jade bells made no sound, only rippling out tiny blue spiritual waves that silently spread into the surrounding air.

"magic weapon!"

The fact that a mere veiled hat could be considered a magical artifact caused many cultivators present to exchange bewildered glances and reveal expressions of envy.

Most magical artifacts are offensive or defensive; those like this are not only rare but also often possess strange and supernatural powers.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ni Chang."

"Haha, Fairy Ni Chang has finally arrived. Our Seven Kingdoms Alliance is now counting on you alone."

"Greetings, Sect Master Ni Chang."

As the Azure Feathered Eagle let out a soft cry, its massive body landed, and one by one, the disciples of the Xuan Yin Pavilion landed. At the same time, a group of Core Formation cultivators stepped forward and bowed with smiles on their faces.

"Fellow Daoists, you are too kind. This gathering is a major event for our Seven Kingdoms Alliance. How could we presume to be so presumptuous?"

The Fairy of Rainbow Clothes smiled gently, without the overbearing air of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

However, Xu Lingfeng, who had come along with them, was filled with boundless pride as he looked around. He had only recently broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

The Xuan Yin Pavilion, which was once like a stray dog, has now become the strongest sect in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

Even disciples from other sects and powerful clans were whispering among themselves.

"Look, these are the disciples of the Xuan Yin Pavilion."

"I've heard that most of the disciples in the Xuan Yin Pavilion are female."

"The Fairy of Rainbow Robes truly deserves to be called the number one fairy in our seven kingdoms."

The echoes of praise made Xu Lingfeng's lips curl into a smile, but the smile that had just appeared on his face was suddenly frozen by the sound of a cow mooing again from the horizon.

Above the gloomy sky, the Green Horned Ox, a mid-stage third-tier demon, was full of imposing aura. Upon seeing so many people, its eyes widened, revealing an excited expression.

With so many people, how many spiritual fruits and herbs will we need to feed them?

Over the years, the Green Horned Ox has developed a shameless habit. It will fawn over anyone who is a friend of its master, and will always try to get some spiritual fruits or herbs from them.

"A mid-stage third-tier demon as a mount, and a Core Formation female sword attendant, who is Lin, the array master!"

In the sky, the sword attendant's cold gaze swept across the area, unaware of how famous she had become within the Seven Kingdoms Alliance over the years.

Female cultivators are already rare, let alone female cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage.

As a result, the talented and beautiful female cultivator was willing to become a maid, which was especially known within the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

"Fellow Daoists, I am a little late."

As the Green Horned Ox landed, Lin Chang'an, dressed in white, smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.

Today's high-profile appearance is also to demonstrate their strength, and frankly speaking, it's all preparation for dividing up the spoils later.

Otherwise, why would he be so high-profile?

Even the Fairy of Rainbow Robes couldn't help but curl her lips at Lin Chang'an's high-profile appearance, as it suited her interests.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is truly never idle. He must have gone to the Tongtian Mist Sea to hunt one or two Yin Spirit Beast Kings."

On the desolate mountain, the fairy in colorful clothes, who seemed as solitary as a bamboo in the wind, actually smiled when she saw Lin Chang'an and greeted him warmly.

Although they belonged to the same sect, their tone and words clearly indicated that they were very close friends.

"No, it was just something I did on the way out of the pass."

Lin Chang'an chuckled and nodded to Fairy Ni Chang, then greeted everyone else.

"Master Lin is now the only third-tier array master in our Seven Kingdoms Alliance."

"Yes, we'll inevitably have to trouble Master Lin in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Qiu's swordsmanship is extraordinary, probably no less than that of the Divine Sword Sect back then."

When everyone greeted Lin Chang'an with cupped hands, they also made sure to cup their hands to the sword attendant.

As fellow Core Formation cultivators, regardless of status, strength is everything.

Among those present, some of the weaker families or sects from the seven kingdoms were only at the early stage of Core Formation.

Their strength was only on par with that of a sword attendant, so they dared not be too arrogant.

Moreover, the opponent was a sword cultivator, known for his powerful attacks, so naturally no one dared to underestimate him.

The sword attendant, with a cold expression, bowed and nodded to the crowd, but stood firmly behind Lin Chang'an.

This scene made the Core Formation cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance envious and even a little jealous.

The overall strength of Xuan Yin Pavilion has surpassed that of Li Huo Palace and Shen Jian Sect in their early days.

The sect leader, Fairy Ni Chang, is in the late stage of Core Formation. The sect also has two Core Formation elders, Xu Lingfeng and Liu Ruyu, who are in the middle stage of Core Formation and were personally trained by her.

In addition, Lin Chang'an, a sword cultivator at the mid-stage of Core Formation, is also a master of formations. He also gave away a sword attendant at the early stage of Core Formation, plus a Core Enhancer.

This doesn't even include the combat power of the third-tier spirit pets. The Xuan Yin Pavilion already has six Core Formation cultivators on the surface.

While the Core Formation cultivators were talking, the disciples from various sects and families, under the instruction of their ancestors, began to get to know each other.

After all, this is the first time the Seven Kingdoms Alliance has joined forces, so the disciples naturally need to familiarize themselves with it beforehand.

"Did you see that Core Formation female cultivator next to Elder Lin? She was personally trained by Lin Chang'an. Back then, she was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator like us."

"How enviable! A Core Formation female cultivator is willing to be a concubine. She is a true Core Formation Ancestor."

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. It seems we will be working together in the future."

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

On the island, hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators nodded to each other to get to know one another, and the same was true for those who had reached Core Formation.

"Fellow Daoists, the situation on Bibo Island is somewhat complicated. The Meng couple, who are in charge, are seriously injured and are currently unable to control the overall situation."

Moreover, many Core Formation cultivators on the island harbor disloyal intentions, though they are roughly divided into two factions…

As everyone listened to Fairy Ni Chang's analysis, they also pondered in silence.

If the Meng couple did not sell out the island, they would naturally be the strongest force.

But things changed after Bibo Island was given to Lu Zhenjun.

The many Core Formation cultivators on the island were seething with hatred. After all, Bibo Island only had so many resources. If the Seven Kingdoms Alliance joined, what would they eat?
Therefore, this is the most fundamental reason based on interests.

You sold the island without consulting them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an was speechless. No wonder the Meng couple were so eager for the Seven Kingdoms Alliance to take over; it turned out to be a hot potato after all.

At the same time, Lin Chang'an was also secretly observing the other forces of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

The weakest among them was only at the early stage of Core Formation, but he brought eight Foundation Establishment cultivators from his clan, clearly showing he was going all out.

After all, they have a significant advantage this time.

The stronger ones are those in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Even among Core Formation cultivators, there are different levels, especially those in the late Core Formation stage, who are extremely rare.

You should know that in all these years of the Seven Kingdoms, apart from the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Divine Sword Sect and the Li Huo Palace, there is only the current Fairy Ni Chang.

After spending some time there and getting to know each other, the group headed towards Azure Wave Island.

The so-called mutual familiarity is also based on the distribution of power and interests.
