Chapter 1055

Feiyan Archipelago.

The most remote sea area east of the North Sea, with barren resources.

And because it is close to the South Ocean, which has many poisonous insects, living things can hardly approach, making it quite dangerous; therefore, it has been unknown for many years, with only a few low-rank immortal cultivation families gathering here.

But in recent years, this place has become more and more prosperous.

In order to avoid the demon beast tide, a large number of low-rank cultivators with weak strength either gathered toward the Canghai Righteous Alliance, which has powerhouses sitting in town, or hid in remote places.

The Feiyan Archipelago became a suitable place.

Especially, there is a great cultivator at the late stage of Core Formation sitting in town here; as long as one is not unlucky enough to encounter a Nascent Soul demon emperor, one can protect oneself without worry.

Fairy Yaoyue is that great cultivator at the late stage of Core Formation!

It is rumored that this woman was once the Dao companion of a North Sea powerhouse in her early years and obtained gifts from the other party; although she has always lived in seclusion and does not appear in front of people, her realm has been rising steadily.

Now at over four hundred years old, she is already at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, only one step away from Nascent Soul formation!

And the matter of Nascent Soul formation, under the speculation of interested people, is estimated to be soon.

In recent years, under the collaborative efforts of array masters from various families, the Feiyan Archipelago has been connected into one piece, using the island-connecting array method spread to the North Sea by the powerhouse Li Canghai back then.

After hundreds of years of gestation, plus frequent battles in the North Sea and the circulation of earth energy, unknowingly, the Feiyan Archipelago already had the aura of a fourth-rank spiritual vein.

In the eyes of mortals with short lifespans, this is the vicissitudes of life and geographical changes.

But in the eyes of cultivators, it is because Fairy Yaoyue manages it well, so she can nurture a fourth-rank spiritual vein.

Now that there is a fourth-rank spiritual vein, and Fairy Yaoyue is at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, the opportunity for Nascent Soul formation has arrived.

The Feiyan loose cultivators who received protection are all looking forward to that day.

If the Feiyan Archipelago can produce a Nascent Soul True Person, then with True Person Yaoyue sitting in town, this place will truly become their paradise for cultivation.

However!

At the time of Nascent Soul formation, there will be heavenly omens, and the movement will be extremely large.

The cultivator must adjust their essence, energy, and spirit, and there might even be sudden heart-demon tribulations, leaving them completely unable to deal with the outside world.

If the Nascent Soul formation omen attracts any powerful enemies, the cultivator will fall into the most dangerous situation.

Such events are common in the immortal cultivation world.

Just like the first time Cang Long of the Ice Fortress underwent tribulation, which Luo Chen experienced back then, it encountered the interference of the White Bone Mysterious Snake, and finally failed.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for loose cultivators and cultivators of small forces to achieve the Nascent Soul realm.

Even if the accumulation is sufficient, there is still the risk of interference from outsiders when taking that final step.

Therefore, often at this juncture, these people will try their best to invite some trusted friends to act as guardians.

Unfortunately, Fairy Yaoyue has a cold personality and has lived in the Ten-Mile Pinghu for many years, with very few friends.

Therefore, the matter of guardianship fell upon the Cheng family where Fairy Yaoyue is located, as well as the many loose cultivators of the Feiyan Archipelago.

Starting a year ago, Feiyan cultivators frequently went out to clear out low-rank demon beasts nearby, ensuring that when Fairy Yaoyue breaks through, there will be a clean place undisturbed by outsiders.

But in the North Sea today, where is there any peace to speak of?

On Black Swan Island.

In the council hall of the Cheng family, three Core Formation cultivators looked extremely solemn.

"According to reports from several loose cultivators, seven hundred miles west of Feiyan, there is a huge herd of beasts flying in our direction; I'm afraid it will affect the Old Ancestor's Nascent Soul formation!"

"Can you find out how many high-rank demon beasts are in that herd?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the loose cultivators have low strength and can only watch from afar, unable to check at close range. But any existence that can drive a herd of tens of thousands must be a third-rank demon king. And now, for the sake of fighting against us cultivators, the North Sea demon race often chooses to act in groups, I'm afraid there is more than one demon king inside."

The Cheng family Patriarch frowned, his face sinking, "No matter how many demon kings there are, they must not be allowed to affect the Old Ancestor's Nascent Soul formation. This matter is not just the Old Ancestor's business, but also the Cheng family's major event! Pingqiu, lead all the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators in the clan, except for those maintaining the array, and go seven hundred miles to meet the enemy, preventing the demon beasts from interfering with the Old Ancestor's Nascent Soul formation."

Cheng Pingqiu was stunned, "Going out in full force? Isn't this too dangerous? If we are not careful and lose everyone, then my Cheng family will suffer a great loss, or even exist in name only."

The Cheng family Patriarch glared at him fiercely, "Is the Cheng family us? Is it those low-rank cultivators? None of them! Only the Old Ancestor, she is everything to the Cheng family. As long as she is still here, the Cheng family will always be here!"

Cheng Pingqiu disagreed with this statement, but another Core Formation cultivator recognized it quite well.

"The Patriarch is absolutely right. Four hundred years ago, Feiyan was in chaos, and our Cheng family's previous Patriarch fell; at that time, the great family only had two or three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators. But because the Old Ancestor was sitting in town, talents have emerged one after another over the years, and we have even had three Core Formation powerhouses like you and me. If the Old Ancestor is gone, not to mention taking the family a step further, even wanting to sit firmly in the position of Feiyan's first immortal cultivation family, I'm afraid we will be powerless."

The current Feiyan Archipelago not only has loose cultivators but also three major families that survived back then.

Those three families also benefited quite a bit from the spiritual vein upgrade here, and have successively produced multiple Core Formation powerhouses.

The reason they are willing to live under the Cheng family is just because they fear the Old Ancestor.

Ten-Mile Pinghu, Fairy Yaoyue!

That is truly Feiyan's number one person!

Although she does not appear often, the strength she displayed in the few times she took action to repel third-rank demon kings makes people fearful.

Especially!

According to rumors, Fairy Yaoyue seems to have a very deep relationship with a demonic powerhouse.

That makes it even more impossible to provoke easily!

"Fine, I will do my best in this battle, but the other three families cannot stand by and watch; Second Brother, go and notify them, each to send one hundred elites to go with my Cheng family to meet the enemy." Cheng Pingqiu took on this matter, and after making the decision, he no longer hesitated, only with a bit of hope on his face, "If the Nascent Soul True Person who is rumored to have a deep relationship with the Old Ancestor comes to guard the path, why would we need to spend so much effort."

"Go, stop thinking about these things; one must rely on oneself. And since the Old Ancestor dares to form the Nascent Soul at this time, she must have other preparations." The Patriarch waved his hand, his tone absolutely certain.

"I hope so!"

Cheng Pingqiu muttered a sentence, then hurried out to point soldiers and generals, preparing to meet the invading demon beasts.

The Second Elder was the same, rushing to the other three major families.

Seven hundred miles distance, looks far, but for high-rank cultivators, it is just a moment.

Even the combat range of some powerful Core Formation cultivators is more than this.

Fortunately, those demon beasts act in groups, and the low-rank demon beasts have slow speed, so they will not impact the Feiyan Archipelago for the time being.

Cheng Pingqiu did not take long to prepare, and soon gathered a group of Cheng family elite cultivators.

The number was quite large, reaching a thousand people.

Among them, there were twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators alone!

The three major families did not shirk the Cheng family's request for help, each sending over a hundred elite cultivators.

All led by Core Formation powerhouses, each sending ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Especially the Xu family, which has a very good relationship with the Cheng family, was led by the Supreme Elder at the mid-stage of Core Formation!

In this way, in just a moment, the Feiyan Archipelago organized a force of four Core Formation powerhouses, fifty Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, and over a thousand late-stage Qi Refining elite troops.

Not only that, but the Feiyan loose cultivators who received the news also rushed to support.

A troop of several thousand people gathered together, moving majestically toward the west, wanting to annihilate the invading demon beasts outside.

And in the Feiyan Archipelago, in the Ten-Mile Pinghu, the Nascent Soul omen had already appeared faintly.

A large amount of spiritual energy sprayed out from the earth veins, gathering toward the small island in the center of the lake.

……

The Feiyan cultivators gathered extremely quickly, and under the organization of the Cheng family, they boarded large ships and set off quickly.

Seven hundred miles distance, it didn't even take half an hour.

When Cheng Pingqiu arrived with his men, the number of demon beasts he saw almost covered the entire sea area.

The reason for using the word "covered" is because what was floating on the sea surface were all corpses!

Blood flowed into the sea, and corpses piled up like mountains.

Only one green-shirted cultivator stood in the mountain of corpses, holding a long sword, his posture calm.

All the invading demon beasts were annihilated here by this one person!

Everyone was shocked.

What is this person's strength?

Could it be the Nascent Soul realm?

The green-shirted cultivator turned slowly, revealing a handsome face that was immortal and elegant.

His gaze fell on the crowd, especially on the clan badges on the clothes of the four major family cultivators.

"Are you Feiyan cultivators?"

Cheng Pingqiu took the initiative to step forward and said reverently, "We are indeed Feiyan cultivators; I wonder what your name is, senior, and why you helped us slaughter the herd?"

The green-shirted cultivator smiled, "I've been away for too long; it seems you don't recognize me anymore!"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

However, in the crowd, the oldest Supreme Elder of the Xu family had a look of suspicion on his face, and then it gradually turned into a look of disbelief.

He squeezed out of the crowd staggeringly and said joyfully, "Could it be Brother Muxian?"

The green-shirted cultivator looked at the white-haired Supreme Elder of the Xu family, "You recognize me? You are..."

"It's me, Little Seven, Xu Wei! The Little Seven who followed behind you back then, looking for you to give him elixir pills to eat."

At this moment, the Supreme Elder of the Xu family was excited, his demeanor very much like a child.

But no one expressed doubt about this attitude.

Just because this person in front of them is highly likely to be a Nascent Soul True Person.

Otherwise, it cannot explain why he could easily annihilate tens of thousands of demon beasts, especially since there were at least five powerful auras of suspected third-rank demon kings inside.

If this person is related to the Xu family, then the name of Feiyan Archipelago's first family might have to be changed.

Cheng Pingqiu, after the shock, also vaguely felt that the two words "Muxian" were somewhat familiar.

It seems that there is such a person in his Cheng family's family history?

But that person is not very important, so no matter how he racked his brains, he couldn't think of it for a while.

Xu Muxian smiled slightly, "So it's Little Seven; I didn't expect you to have reached Core Formation."

The Supreme Elder of the Xu family shook his head, "I don't count as anything; my lifespan is coming to an end, and there is no hope of breakthrough, so what does Core Formation count for? But you, Muxian Brother... are you at the True Person realm?"

Xu Muxian's face became serious, "As you can see, I have indeed achieved the Nascent Soul realm by chance. This time I returned specifically to guard the path for my teacher's wife, to clear all external enemies for her!"

As soon as the words "teacher's wife" came out, the fog in Cheng Pingqiu's memory dissipated instantly.

He finally knew why the name Xu Muxian felt somewhat familiar to him.

Everything pointed to the powerhouse who once had a relationship with the family's Old Ancestor, the demonic giant who became a taboo in the Feiyan Archipelago.

Demon Lord Qingyang!

Years ago, Demon Lord Qingyang entered the Feiyan Archipelago, first slaying Core Formation demon cultivators, then subduing various families.

The Old Ancestor once became his Dao companion, accompanying him for many years.

Xu Muxian, who was not valued by the family originally, entered Demon Lord Qingyang's eyes because of his talent in elixir refining, was accepted as a named disciple, and was taught the art of elixir refining. Later, he even became the object of marriage between the Cheng and Xu families.

Later, Demon Lord Qingyang left quietly, and after his Dao companion passed away due to lifespan, Xu Muxian also followed his teacher's footsteps and left the Feiyan Archipelago, venturing alone in the North Sea immortal cultivation world.

Because Demon Lord Qingyang made a great name in the North Sea and offended many great forces, the Feiyan Archipelago rarely mentioned this name, so as not to be implicated.

Naturally, as his named disciple, Xu Muxian, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage at that time, was remembered by even fewer people.

Yet he never expected that four hundred years would pass.

The Demon Lord did not return, but his named disciple returned instead.

And he came specifically to guard the path for his own Old Ancestor.

"Is this the backup plan prepared by the Old Ancestor?"

Cheng Pingqiu felt relieved; having a Nascent Soul True Person sitting in town is truly the best thing.

He said cautiously, "Xu senior, now with your power, the herd has been eliminated; should there be no more external worries for my family's Old Ancestor's Nascent Soul formation?"

However, regarding this, there was no look of relief on Xu Muxian's face.

The long sword in his hand had not been put away, and he held it tightly.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Cheng Pingqiu was stunned, "This herd of tens of thousands, five great demon kings, all buried under your sword; is there any existence more troublesome than this?"

Xu Muxian sighed faintly, "Have you ever heard the name 'Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting'?"

Everyone was stunned, and then their faces changed greatly.

Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting!

In the North Sea today, a demonic giant with a notorious reputation!

His escape speed is fast, his strength is strong, and he doesn't know where he got a set of evil methods to refine living people's souls to increase his own divine soul foundation; in recent years, he has frequently hunted and killed high-rank cultivators.

The number of Core Formation cultivators who died at the hands of the Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting has long been hundreds or thousands.

Demon kings are also countless!

Even Nascent Soul cultivators, who are known as the hardest to kill, have had experiences of falling into his hands.

Although the Demon Luo Flow of the past existed in name only after Blood Nightmare Demon Luo disappeared without a trace, the name of the Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting became louder and louder, once on par with that rising star, Black Demon.

Known as the two great demonic giants of the North Sea today!

Their style of doing things is cruel and ruthless, and those who are targeted rarely survive.

Cheng Pingqiu's tone was dry, "How could this old demon target my family's Old Ancestor?"

Xu Muxian said calmly, "In the North Sea today, there is no more peace. The name of Feiyan has long been spread abroad. If the teacher's wife doesn't succeed, then forget it; once she succeeds, she will be the kind of 'Primordial Cultivator' that the Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting likes most. He is highly likely to come and hunt, extract souls and seize spirits, to increase his own cultivation."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'!" Xu Muxian waved his long sword, his eyes firm, "If he doesn't come, then forget it; if he really comes, with me blocking the pass, I will definitely not let him hurt the teacher's wife in the slightest!"

Everyone swallowed their saliva, with a bit of hope in their eyes.

Their mood can be described as great joy and great sorrow, fluctuating.

Seeing Xu Muxian kill the herd, they were overjoyed, and because he was a Nascent Soul True Person from the Feiyan Archipelago, they were even more excited.

But after hearing the great name of the Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting, they became uneasy and terrified.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

If the Flow Master of Heaven-Splitting really comes, can this unknown Xu True Person really stop the other party?
