Chapter 426: Unification of the Southern Wilderness

Moon-Gazing Island main peak, inside the Green Wood Pavilion.

Qin Ming's gaze swept lightly over everyone.

Below the main hall.

Lady Nalan Xi, Gu Gu Qingzhao, Wei Wei Wuya, and others who had a good relationship with Qin Ming were all feeling complex.

People who had interacted as fellow daoists in the past, after only a few years, now needed to be addressed as Senior True Monarch, bowing and paying respects.

From now on, their identities had changed, and there was a distinction between superior and inferior.

The gap between Golden Core and Nascent Soul was like that between a swallow and a swan; the difference was not just a little bit.

Qin Ming achieved the Nascent Soul and became a great figure capable of summoning wind and rain in the Immortal Cultivation World; even if placed anywhere in the Human Realm, no one would dare not to respect him.

"Are you two disciples of Li Huo Palace? Why did you run to our Southern Wilderness for no reason?"

Qin Ming's tone was indifferent, asking while knowing the answer.

When he crossed the tribulation, he naturally had already sensed everything that happened on this cross-border spirit ship of Li Huo Palace.

At the same time, he was certain that these two would not dare to run.

Moreover, Qin Ming had long heard about Li Huo Palace pulling people to serve as cannon fodder in the Southern Wilderness.

Jing Qing felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this; both of them were already sweating profusely.

Right now, being directly named by this newly promoted Nascent Soul big shot in front of everyone.

Was not a pleasant thing.

Jing Qing, the Nascent Soul seed of Li Huo Palace, had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, bowing and paying respects again:

"Reporting to True Monarch Moon-Gazing, this junior is Jing Qing of Li Huo Palace, sent by the sect to select cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World to join the sect..."

"Encountering the Senior's Nascent Soul perfection midway, I came specially to congratulate the Senior on the joy of achieving the True Monarch."

Immediately, Jing Qing hurriedly offered several jade boxes of treasures.

"Senior Qin, don't listen to this person's nonsense; Li Huo Palace acts extremely domineeringly. In order to pull people to fight in the Central Continent, they not only forcibly conscripted cultivators from the four countries but also spared no means, even kidnapping the sect's alchemy inheritance disciples."

Qing Xuan Yu of Xuanxi Valley stood up, his expression quite indignant.

They originally had a deep connection with Li Huo Palace, but they didn't expect that after Ancestor Qing Qing Xuan passed away, Li Huo Palace would act so ruthlessly, even forcibly taking away Fang Han, who was related to the future prosperity of Xuanxi Valley.

Jing Qing was at the Golden Core perfection cultivation, while Qing Xuan Yu was at the early Golden Core stage; he could only watch as his sect's true inheritance disciple was taken away by Li Huo Palace, but there was nothing he could do.

But now that the Southern Wilderness had given birth to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, everything was naturally different.

"Oh, is that so?"

Qin Ming's words were flat.

But his gaze narrowed slightly, landing on the two from Li Huo Palace again.

Suddenly.

Jing Qing and the lean Golden Core cultivator felt a terrifying Nascent Soul spiritual pressure descend upon them, and their souls couldn't help but tremble.

Under this suffocating pressure, Jing Qing and his companion couldn't stand and fell directly to the ground.

"Nascent Soul Great Expert, terrifying to this extent!"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat stood outside the door, peeking inside, and seeing the Nascent Soul seed of Li Huo Palace unable to stand steadily before its master, it couldn't help but exclaim.

Jing Qing and his companion looked embarrassed, their bodies feeling as if crushed by Mount Tai, their chests tight, feeling suffocated.

But the other Golden Cores in the Green Wood Pavilion had no abnormalities.

This precise control over spiritual pressure was something even their own ancestor, Li Huo Shangren, could only look up to.

Only the two from Li Huo Palace lay on the ground like dead dogs, looking terrified, unable to make any resistance.

"True Monarch Senior, spare my life!!"

"We were just acting on the sect's orders, with absolutely no intention of offending. Previously, the Southern Wilderness was a vassal Immortal Cultivation World of the Great Jin, but now that it has the True Monarch's protection, Li Huo Palace naturally would never dare to have any ulterior motives toward the Southern Wilderness again."

Jing Qing, taking advantage of having one breath left, gritted his teeth and begged for mercy.

"As for those two, they were also discovered by this junior by chance; we treated them well along the way and did not wrong them."

Boom! Hearing this, the massive spiritual pressure receded like a tide.

The two from Li Huo Palace on the ground escaped death, gasping for air, kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, fearing that the Nascent Soul True Monarch would punish them.

"Bring those two up." Qin Ming sat lazily on the chair and said casually.

Jing Qing, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly had his junior brother bring the two over.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he had picked up his life: 'Sigh! Fortunately, I didn't treat those two kidnapped people too harshly, supplying them with good food and drink.'

'Otherwise, if the True Monarch were angry, the two of us brothers would probably not have been able to walk out of Moon-Gazing Island alive today.'

Half an incense stick later.

The lean Golden Core cultivator of Li Huo Palace respectfully led a man and a woman into the main hall.

They were Qin Ming's old acquaintances, Fairy Qingxia Mo Mo Lingwei, and Fang Han, the beloved disciple of Grandmaster Gongsun Yang of Xuanxi Valley.

The two of them had naturally witnessed Qin Ming achieving the Nascent Soul True Monarch on the Li Huo Palace spirit ship.

While astonished, they also respectfully bowed and paid respects:

"This junior pays respects to True Monarch Moon-Gazing Senior, congratulates the Senior on the Nascent Soul perfection, and may your immortal path be evergreen!"

"Hmm, get up. Fang Han, you go back to the sect with Qing Xuan Yu."

"Fairy Mo, you step back first; this seat has something to ask you in a moment."

"Thank you, True Monarch, for your great kindness!" Fang Han bowed upon hearing this and respectfully stood behind Ancestor Qing Xuan Yu.

Ancestor Qing Xuan Yu was also incredibly grateful to Qin Ming; after all, Fang Han was the future and hope of their Xuanxi Valley.

"This concubine thanks the True Monarch for your great kindness, and respectfully follows the True Monarch's decree!" Mo Mo Lingwei, in a black gauze dress, had a complex expression.

She didn't expect that after so many years, the familiar man before her not only remained unchanged but had also leaped to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch... Immediately, the Heaven-Devouring Rat ran in, waved its little hand at Mo Mo Lingwei and said: "Fairy Mo, this way... please follow me."

Mo Mo Lingwei, in a state of anxiety, didn't know what Qin Ming's intention was in leaving her alone, so she had to follow the Heaven-Devouring Rat out of the main hall.

And Lady Nalan Xi and Gu Gu Qingzhao below, although their emotions fluctuated, dared not say more. The two from Li Huo Palace handed over Fang Han and Mo Mo Lingwei, just about to let out a long sigh.

But they only heard Qin Ming say indifferently:

"Daring to run to the Southern Wilderness to cause trouble, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is unavoidable."

Immediately, he didn't move his body, but a sharp aura was emitted, hitting the two from Li Huo Palace.

"Ah!"

Jing Qing and the lean Golden Core cultivator spat out essence blood and flew backward, falling to the floor.

Both of them were pale, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

Qin Ming, with just a light touch, shook their meridians, and it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to recover for ten or eight years.

Jing Qing, the Nascent Soul seed of Li Huo Palace, fainted directly from spitting blood.

Then, his gaze landed on the lean cultivator: "You go back and tell your ancestor of Li Huo Palace to prepare to come and lead the people away personally."

"Yes! Respectfully follow the True Monarch's decree." The lean cultivator held his chest, responded in shock, and then staggered out of the main hall.

The cultivators present didn't expect Qin Ming to be so domineering, truly venting a breath of anger for the Southern Wilderness.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was also boiling with excitement, watching its master act so fiercely, wishing it could replace him.

In an instant.

The atmosphere in the Green Wood Pavilion stagnated.

After a while, Ancestor Qing Xuan Yu thought for a moment, stepped forward, and said to Qin Ming:

"True Monarch Moon-Gazing is righteous. The Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World has always been a scattered sand, slaughtered by others."

"Now that you are sitting in town to preside over the overall situation, our Xuanxi Valley in Liang Country is willing to submit and return to Moon-Gazing Island, listening to your orders and dispatches."

As soon as this was said.

The ancestors of the remaining three countries also echoed one after another, following Ancestor Qing Xuan Yu.

Even Lady Nalan Xi, the city lord of the loose cultivator sacred land, Canghai Immortal City, also expressed her attitude of submission.

Qin Ming heard this, and it was within his expectations; after all, the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World hadn't given birth to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator for thousands of years.

Being ridden on the head by other large Immortal Cultivation Worlds, they didn't dare to have any complaints.

At this moment, everyone also felt as if they had found a backbone.

Now that Qin Ming had achieved the Nascent Soul, he didn't need to be as tied up as before.

Moreover, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, the cultivation resources he needed were all rare items in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Relying on himself to find them, it would take until the year of the monkey.

After becoming a Nascent Soul, these things of collecting resources naturally didn't need him to do it personally again.

He only needed to farm and brush entries step by step.

He was still more suitable to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Qin Ming pondered slightly for a moment, then said to everyone:

"This seat is naturally idle and only wants to be a loose cultivator, with no intention of building my own forces or opening a sect, but the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World really cannot continue to be so chaotic."

"How about this, the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World will establish a Four-Country Alliance; Wei Wei Wuya, you will be the leader of this alliance, and as for the Golden Country, let Gu Gu Qingzhao's Jingxue Pavilion manage it."

"Usually, each manages their own, and when there are major issues, the alliance will solve and deal with them together."

In a few words, he directly hammered out the future pattern of the Southern Wilderness.

"Yes! Respectfully follow True Monarch Moon-Gazing's decree!"

Everyone also had a number in their hearts; although Qin Ming designated Wei Wei Wuya to be the leader of the Four-Country Alliance, in reality, the biggest controller behind the scenes was True Person Moon-Gazing.

After all, the Immortal Cultivation World respects strength.

After finalizing these matters, Qin Ming dismissed everyone.

The Green Wood Pavilion returned to calm.

Immediately, Qin Ming asked the Heaven-Devouring Rat to call Mo Mo Lingwei in.

Mo Mo Lingwei was incredibly nervous and anxious to see the legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch summon her alone.

If Qin Ming were to do something shameful to her, she, a weak woman, could not make any resistance, and with her intelligence, she had already vaguely guessed why Qin Ming left her behind.

Thinking of this, Mo Mo Lingwei bit her red lips, stepped forward, and bowed: "This junior Mo Mo Lingwei pays respects to the True Monarch."

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Mo, no need for formalities."

"You should know why this seat summoned you, right?" Qin Ming asked indifferently.

As soon as this was said, the Heaven-Devouring Rat stood aside, also confused.

It knew very well that its master was self-disciplined, had a firm Dao heart, and was not close to women in his daily life.

He was truly a gentleman rarely seen in a hundred years, worthy of being a model.

Today, achieving the Nascent Soul, could it be that he had taken a fancy to this fairy with extraordinary beauty? The next moment.

Mo Mo Lingwei's face flushed, and she asked with a trembling voice:

"True Monarch Senior, could it be that you also know about this concubine's special constitution..."

Qin Ming's gaze was indifferent, looking at her calmly and saying: "This seat naturally cannot save you for no reason; if you fell into the hands of Li Huo Shangren."

"You would mostly be used for his harvesting and supplementing; once you had no value..." I think you should know what your end would be.

"Is it true that you possess the Phoenix Chant Constitution?"

"Forget it, this seat will check it personally."

……

As soon as this was said, even the Heaven-Devouring Rat on the side turned red.
