Disposition of the Vast Sea
After the death of Daoist Han Chuan, the suppressed demon and monster races in the Vast Sea took the opportunity to cause chaos, which led to a period of bloodshed.
It was Nianchuan Xian Ye, along with rising stars like Chen Nianxuan and Gu Lanshan, who took to the field one after another, earning considerable fame in the Vast Sea.
Among these people, Chen Nianxuan has Heavenly Spirit Root and has already broken through to the Ninth Purple Mansion Layer at a young age. Gu Lanshan even has the Three-Yin Body and is Jiang Linglong's personal disciple. She can actually fight against Golden Core realm cultivators with her Purple Mansion cultivation.
Of course, the real pillars are Chen Nianchuan and Lin Qianshu, among others. Lin Qianshu has already reached the Sea-Stabilizing Needle Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm stage, and if True Lord doesn't appear, she will be a pillar of strength.
In particular, Chen Nianchuan, who single-handedly charged into the heart of the Demon Race realm with his sword, killed seven Demon King in succession and then laughed as he left, striking fear into the hearts of all demons. In terms of ruthlessness, he was no less than Chen Nianzhi.
After the Old Clan Leader finished speaking, Chen Nianzhi also showed some joy. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Nianchuan, Qian Shu, and the others are not far from reaching the True Lord in terms of cultivation."
"I'm afraid we'll reach the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years, but unfortunately we no longer have Earth Dao Qi."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Linglong frowned slightly, for a mere wisp of Earth Dao Qi was worth two hundred Heavenly Crystal.
Despite their numerous demon-slaying exploits and the vast amount of treasures they've acquired, including many precious Tier 5 items, their consumption of these treasures is also enormous.
The two of them alone possess ten Life-bound Supreme Treasure and eight Natal Divine Ability that they still need to cultivate, not including the Great Evolution Heavenly Art, Astral Glazed Body, and Nirvana Tribulation-Transference Art that they will be cultivating.
Each of these Divine Ability and Spirit Treasure is a gold-devouring behemoth; the resources required to successfully cultivate them all would be enough to make even Nascent Soul Late Stage True Lord frown.
That would be fine, but Chen Nianzhi would definitely help Lin Qianshu and the Old Clan Leader of the Chen Clan break through to the Nascent Soul.
If it were just Nascent Soul Formation Pill, that would be fine, but the potential of Human Dao Nascent Soul is limited. They have worked hard to strengthen their foundation and advance to the Middle-grade Golden Core stage, so Chen Nianzhi naturally didn't want to waste his efforts.
Moreover, the Golden Core True Person is limited. The Old Clan Leader is already over five hundred years old, and Lin Qianshu is nearly six hundred. If they don't take the Longevity Pill, they won't have much time left to wait.
Xian Ye, Xian Yan, and the others are also making rapid progress in their cultivation. If necessary, Chen Nianzhi will naturally lend a hand.
After all, if the Chen Clan could have a few more True Lord, Chen Nian and Chen Nian could be freed up to support each other, greatly increasing their chances of surviving the Abyssal Demon Calamity in the future.
With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi looked towards the depths of the Vast Sea, towards the former Tier 5 Spirit Isle of the Chen Clan in the Vast Sea.
"You want to open the Spirit Isle?"
Jiang Linglong noticed his expression and naturally understood what he was thinking.
Chen Nianzhi nodded. The Chen Clan of the Vast Sea was once one of the top thirty immortal clans in the Eastern Wilderness, and there were even beings who had one foot in the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.
This lineage and clan boasts over a dozen True Lord; presumably, the Spirit Isle that sank to the bottom of the sea must possess astonishing wealth.
According to what the broken cauldron said back then, the Chen clan leader even left behind a contingency plan, including a piece of Heavenly Dao Qi, which was intended to help the Chen clan rise again if necessary.
Unfortunately, due to repeated interference from powerful enemies, the opportunity to deliver that backup plan was ultimately lost.
If the sunken Spirit Isle of the Chen Clan in the Vast Sea could be opened, perhaps the foundation of the Chen Immortal Clan's immortal lineage would increase dramatically, allowing Chen Nianzhi to live a life of hardship.
Seeing this, Chen Changxuan shook his head and said, "That ancestral Earth Soul has been corrupted by resentment and has become a bizarre existence that is neither human nor ghost."
"If you want to go in, it's probably quite risky. You should wait a bit longer."
Jiang Linglong nodded and advised, "We've only just broken through to the True Lord realm, and there's still considerable room for improvement. Going in now is a bit too early."
"Besides, it will be another eighty years before my Old Granduncle and Qian Shu break through to the Nascent Soul again. It's still too early now."
"Why don't we wait a while longer, until we've completed the upgrade of our Spirit Treasure, before going in to investigate?"
Chen Nianzhi agreed with this and temporarily suppressed the thought.
He glanced at the Old Clan Leader and then said, "I plan to return to the Ji Continent to purchase some Void Gemstone for the Vast Sea to refine Teleportation Array, making it easier for us to control this continent."
"During this time, I'm entrusting the Vast Sea to you."
The Old Clan Leader nodded and said, "Don't worry, even without Devil Lord or Demon Emperor, we can still protect the Vast Sea."
"..."
After bidding farewell to the Old Clan Leader and others, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong flew towards the Ji Continent.
Upon returning to Azure Lotus Isle, they found someone had come to their door. The visitor was Ji Feixue, who greeted them with a smile and said, "I heard that you have annihilated the Qin Clan clan and have already gained a great reputation in the vicinity of the Heavenly Hut Continent."
"It seems that it won't be long before you become True Lord with considerable renown even in the Three Vein Ancient Region."
The Three Vein Ancient Region encompasses a hundred continents. Although it is a remote place among the six domains and eight hundred continents of the Eastern Wilderness Human Race, it is also a place where the pride of heaven emerges in an endless stream, with Nascent Soul Cultivator probably numbering in the hundreds.
It is quite rare for someone to make a name for themselves among the True Lord right after breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Linglong smiled calmly and looked at Ji Feixue, saying, "Did you come to see me today for something?"
"I should have informed you sooner, but unfortunately you went to the Vast Sea not long after you broke through to the Nascent Soul."
When the topic turned to business, Ji Feixue's expression became somewhat solemn.
She glanced around, then used her Divine Ability to seal off the void before solemnly saying, "My father recently divined the secrets of heaven and has roughly calculated the day for receiving the Heaven Soul."
"Guide the Heaven Soul".
Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's expression changed, revealing a hint of shock. The Ji clan leader had been plotting for thousands of years, and now he was finally about to take the final step.
Breaking through to the Primordial Spirit is no small matter. A cultivator's Heaven Soul wanders in the void, and it is not easy to guide the Heaven Soul.
The most appropriate day must be found, when the cultivator's Heaven Soul is sinking and closest to the cultivator's Life Soul.
When the time is right, the location is favorable, and the people are supportive, the success rate of guiding the Heaven Soul will greatly increase.
The Ji clan patriarch has calculated that his breakthrough will occur in twenty years. He senses that on a certain day twenty years from now, his Heavenly Soul will be closest to his own.
If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait another three cycles of sixty years to have the chance again.
After Ji Feixue finished speaking, she said with a solemn expression, "Breaking through to the Nascent Primordial Spirit is no small matter. At that time, my father will be too busy to care for anything else and will need cultivators to protect him."
"But demons are everywhere, especially the final challenge, which requires someone you can completely trust."
"We don't have many people we can truly trust, and you two are among them, so we would like to invite you to lend us a hand."
