The next day, Xin Mingyue said goodbye to everyone and returned to Chengyue Island. She planned to work hard to break through the divine transformation stage in the next ten years or so, and she did not want to miss the excellent opportunity to enter the Nine Heavens Star Palace. After all, such an opportunity comes only once in a thousand years, and she doesn't want to miss it easily.
Fairy Fengling lived on Lingyun Island, and Zhang Yumo got the opportunity to break through in dual cultivation with Li Changsheng, so he began to practice in seclusion and worked hard to break through. Li Changsheng is temporarily responsible for all affairs within the sect.
During this period, Li Changsheng gained a certain understanding of the Misty Rain Sect under the introduction of Master Liu. In just a few hundred years, Zhang Yumo used his outstanding talent and wisdom to develop the sect, which originally had only a few thousand monks, into a Now there is a large-scale sect with tens of thousands of monks. The number of mortal residents on Lingyun Island has reached an astonishing one million.
Although Zhang Yumo deliberately slowed down the development speed, the scale of Lingyun Island still expanded rapidly. If we go all out to develop, the gap between Lingyun Island and Chengyue Island will gradually narrow. Such rapid development was mainly due to the large number of monks who fled from Chengyue Island, which injected new vitality and resources into Lingyun Island.
Chengyue Island was forcibly occupied by the Star Sea Alliance and has been peaceful ever since. The forces on all sides are afraid of each other and do not dare to break up easily. However, serious differences emerged among the leaders of the Star Sea Alliance.
These powerful people themselves are composed of many sects, and as long as there is a crack, it will be infinitely magnified. Therefore, the Xinghai Alliance carried out a large-scale massacre on Chengyue Island against the sects and monks who were unwilling to cooperate.
Therefore, many monks fled Chengyue Island and came to Lingyun Island to seek refuge. The Xinghai Alliance has been busy with internal fighting in these years and has no time to take into account the development of the surrounding sects. The Yanyu Sect seized this opportunity and gradually became the only force in this sea area that could compete with the Star Sea Alliance.
Li Changsheng looked at the list of Star Sea Alliance monks in his hand with satisfaction. The characteristics of each person were recorded in detail. He decided not to let anyone go, and liquidated them one by one to avenge Zhang Yumo. When he returned from the Nine Heavens Star Palace, it was the time for these monks to die.
After Li Changsheng finished handling all the matters, he left the hall. When he stepped out of the palace, he saw Fairy Fengling walking towards him at a glance.
"Fellow Daoist Li, where are you going? How about coming outside Fengling's cave and tasting spiritual tea together?"
Li Changsheng understood that Fairy Fengling would not come to him for no reason, so he agreed to her invitation.
Fairy Fengling and Li Changsheng had just sat down when a puppet came out carrying spiritual tea. Although Li Changsheng has witnessed this puppet technique many times, he is still amazed by its subtlety every time. Deep down in his heart, he longed to obtain this skill, but he was suffering from the lack of suitable treasures to exchange for it.
"I came here specifically to see Fellow Daoist Li today because I want to hear Fellow Daoist's views on this matter."
"Fairy Fengling, you might as well tell me." Li Changsheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip in response.
"In her early years, Fengling was lucky enough to get to know a monk from the Nine Heavens Star Sea who was in the stage of becoming a god. At that time, I was only a monk in the Yuanying stage, but he had already reached the realm of the late stage of becoming a god. However, his longevity had already reached the limit. There are not many left, so he will definitely participate in this trip to the Nine Heavens Star Palace. If we can successfully include him in our team, then our overall strength will be greatly improved."
"Does Fairy Fengling think this person is trustworthy?"
"In the face of absolute interests, any ally may become unreliable. However, now that we have established a cooperative relationship, there will be one less potential enemy in the Nine Heavens Star Palace. At least in the early stage, we can cooperate with confidence and Always be vigilant.”
Li Changsheng originally had hopes that Xin Mingyue could break through the divine transformation stage in more than ten years. However, considering Fairy Fengling's willingness to find a partner, he understood that Xin Mingyue's breakthrough might already have little hope. Therefore, he decided to accept Fengling Fairy's proposal and seek new partners.
Seeing that Li Changsheng agreed, Fairy Fengling said with a smile: "This fellow Taoist named Zhang Tianyi is currently on an island outside the sea. In a few days, he will marry a concubine. By then, Fellow Taoist Li You can go with me, and you will have a chance to get to know this fellow Daoist Zhang."
After discussing important matters, Li Changsheng returned to his cave. He was eager to understand Xiao Hei's current situation, because Fairy Fengling reminded him that Xiao Hei needed to pay special attention when approaching the transformed human form in order to respond to possible unexpected situations in time.
After Li Changsheng returned to the cave, he saw Xiao Hei still lying there motionless, which made him feel a little relieved. However, deep down he was still a little disappointed. At the beginning, Fairy Fengling had expected that more than ten years had passed since Xiao Hei transformed into a human form, but now there is still no movement from Xiao Hei, which makes him feel a little frustrated.
In the past few days, in addition to taking care of Xiao Hei, Li Changsheng also focused on inspecting the environment around Lingyun Island. After so many years of change, a lot has changed here. He needs to understand the terrain so that he can accurately arrange the magic circle in the future. Once there is a conflict with Chengyue Island, these formations will play a vital role.
However, before Li Changsheng had time to study the terrain in depth, he received a message from Fairy Fengling, inviting him to go to Xishan Island together. It turns out that tomorrow is the day when Zhang Tianyi will marry his concubine. Considering that Zhang Tianyi did not have much life left, Li Changsheng decided to send three fairy fruits as a congratulatory gift.
When Li Changsheng met Fairy Fengling, the two immediately left Lingyun Island. The trip was planned for only a few days. Therefore, Li Changsheng did not specifically inform the disciples in the sect. Instead, Fairy Fengling sent a transmission note to Xin Mingyue, fearing that she would not be around when Xin Mingyue came to see her. It seems that they are really close as sisters.
Xin Mingyue did not retreat at this moment, but chose to adjust her breath in the cave because she found that she had been unable to calm down. When she received the message from Fairy Fengling, she struggled internally for a long time, but finally decided to give up the opportunity to go together.
At this moment, Fairy Fengling and Li Changsheng have already traveled half the distance. At this speed, they will definitely be able to reach Xishan Island smoothly the next day.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I wonder what gift you have prepared for Zhang Tianyi?"
Li Changsheng didn't know why Fairy Fengling asked like this, but he still told the truth. Unexpectedly, Fairy Fengling smiled slightly as soon as he finished speaking.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I suggest you get a gift instead. Daoyou Zhang doesn't care about these things, but he doesn't like people giving him treasures to increase his life span, because in his opinion, it is tantamount to reminding him that his life span is gone. Not much."
Li Changsheng smiled. Since Fairy Fengling had said so, he decided to follow the suggestion and exchange for a gift.
