Background / History
Founding in the Myriad Demon Sea
The Mountain Sea Alliance was formed after Lin Fei defeated Yin Qianshan and compelled the major factions of the Myriad Demon Sea—including Mist Fiend Island, Ice Demon Island, and Bliss Island—to surrender. Lin Fei offered amnesty for prior grievances and promised that the newly united factions would support one another. 799
Lin Fei selected the name himself, declaring that its members would be “the mountains of this sea,” standing in the Myriad Demon Sea permanently. Though many early members submitted under pressure from Dongfang Qingcang and the Heaven Soul Banner, the alliance gave the previously chaotic sea region a unified authority. 799 800
Its original strategic purpose was not simply regional rule: Lin Fei created the alliance to accumulate enough manpower and resources to avenge his master against the Earth Dragon Sect. 801
Consolidation under Bliss Island
Bliss Island became the alliance’s headquarters after Lin Fei rejected Mist Fiend Island and Ice Demon Island as unsuitable due to their dense fiendish and yin energies. 800
The alliance centralized spirit herbs, medicinal herbs, and natural treasures. Members received contribution points based on the value of their surrendered resources, then exchanged those points for pills, magic treasures, and other necessities. Alchemists and artifact refiners were likewise placed under unified command. 799
Over time, its discipline and resource system transformed the Myriad Demon Sea’s reputation. Outside Cultivators began arriving to trade, while members of the Mystic Heart Sect and other factions joined or frequently visited. 800 819
Integration of Sea-Region Demonic Beasts
After conflict with sea beasts escalated into a siege of Bliss Island, Lin Fei released three captured Demon Venerables rather than kill them. This decision convinced many sea-region demonic beasts that the alliance could be trusted. 823 824
The alliance subsequently accepted large numbers of demon beasts through master-servant contracts and soul-blood submission. Lin Fei planned to use them to form the Myriad Demon Squad, allowing sea beasts to seek treasures and capture stronger sea beasts without provoking further large-scale wars. 824
The Cangming Sea Dragon later became a crucial partner in the alliance’s efforts to protect the Myriad Demon Sea. Although initially unwilling to formally join, it accepted cooperation and eventually aided the alliance’s wider defense of sea-dwelling demonic beasts. 865 1082
Wars, Immortal Island, and Disbandment
The alliance sought cooperation with the Mystic Heart Sect against the Earth Dragon Sect, offering military aid in exchange for the defeated sect’s cultivation resources. Golden Narcissus served as its envoy during these negotiations. 801 802
It later faced its most serious early threat when the Fang Family gathered 137 Immortal Cultivation Families to besiege Bliss Island. The alliance resisted alongside the Myriad Demon Squad, the three previously released Demon Venerables, and eventually a much larger force of sea-region demonic beasts. 902 905 906
The appearance of the Immortal Island placed the alliance under pressure from major powers across both the Southern Heaven Continent and Heavenly Origin Continent. To deflect suspicion and secure goodwill, it proposed setting up an array that would allow all factions to enter the island. 1051 1078
After the Myriad Immortals Assembly, multiple factions pursued the alliance for its top-grade Dharma Manifestation inheritances. Rather than allow its members to be trapped on Bliss Island, the alliance dispersed; hostile Human Immortal avatars later found only an empty island and destroyed its protective formation. 1100
Return and Reconstruction
After lying low for more than a thousand years under the protection of the Great Flame Dynasty, the Mountain Sea Alliance returned to the Myriad Demon Sea and rebuilt its headquarters on Pearl Island. It used free refinement of low-grade immortal artifacts and third-tier-or-lower immortal pills to recruit new affiliates. 1309 1310
Its renewed influence drew Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Celestial Immortal-backed factions. The Heavenly Evolution Sect’s entry gave the alliance a Celestial Immortal-level deterrent, though the sect’s motivations remained unclear to Lin Fei. 1322 1323
