From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal

East Sea Shore.

Waves crashed against the dense clusters of reefs, shattering into handfuls of white spray, as the tide rose and fell, surging endlessly.

On this day, a man dressed in a blue Daoist robe came riding on a dragon, controlling the cloud energy. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, embroidered with vivid golden thread designs of fish and dragons.

It was Li Quanqing, who had traveled from the depths of the East Sea, spending three months crossing millions of miles of sea, windblown and dusty.

He looked toward the horizon at the distant Central Continent, the land transformed into black lines, vast and boundless.

"Finally arrived..."

Li Quanqing exhaled a breath of turbid air, holding a sea-blue Sea Stabilizing Plate in his palm.

Within the jade plate, light manifested, weaving into a tiny sesame seed-sized red star, representing his position, traversing the vast ocean territories.

According to the sea map, he had successfully crossed the millions of miles of ocean and was about to reach the domain governed by the Eternal Immortal Dynasty.

Reflecting on this journey over the past few months.

Li Quanqing found it quite fascinating, encountering many unheard-of customs and natural landscapes.

The most dangerous time was about three hundred thousand miles from the East Sea Shore.

There stood a Demon Suppression Defense Line, situated in the sea, encircling the entire continent.

It was specifically set up to isolate the East Sea Demon Clan and prevent demon beasts from secretly infiltrating and invading the bountiful Central Continent.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the extraterrestrial Demon Clan descended into the world, reaching the East Sea, sparking a terrifying beast tide that swept across the entire Cultivation World, annihilating many ancient sects.

At that time, led by the Heavenly River Dao, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Five Domains united as one, finally driving away the Demon Clan, locking them in the deepest part of the East Sea.

It was in this battle that the Bi Hai God Monarch emerged, eventually ascending during a great change in the world.

Fifty thousand years ago, the Demon Clan rose again, birthing a Great Demon in the Divinity Transformation Realm, known as the "Immortal Demon Venerable."

The strength of this Demon Venerable was unimaginable, as he led the Demon Clan to annihilate the Heavenly River Dao lineage, killing the last Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Heavenly River Dao.

He even expelled all Human Clan Cultivators, completely conquering the entire East Sea, causing turmoil, and the Demon Clan flourished greatly.

The Demon Clan's lifespan is long, and this Immortal Demon Venerable's lifespan was even longer, far exceeding that of the Human Clan's Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

The reign of the Immortal Demon Venerable lasted for over ten thousand years.

The entire Demon Clan reached an unprecedented peak, occupying one-third of this world's territory.

Until later, the Human Clan silently accumulated strength, quietly building power.

In the same era, four Divinity Transformation Cultivators emerged in succession, finally launching a counterattack from despair.

The four joined forces to suppress the demons, utilizing powerful means left by the predecessors of the Cultivation World, forcibly opening an ascension channel, taking the Immortal Demon Venerable and utterly disappearing.

It was this very battle that shattered the already fragile world, causing spiritual energy to decline and laws to become incomplete, making it difficult for the world to give birth to Divinity Transformation Venerables again.

The Longevity Dao rose to power, gathering a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs near the end of their lifespans, opening the journey to the heavens, even unifying Central State, establishing the supreme Immortal Dynasty.

Those Nascent Soul Sects who fled from the East Sea back then did not want to live under others, fighting life and death for the Immortal Dynasty.

After much thought, they could only attempt to reclaim the East Sea.

This has led to several large-scale reclamations over the past ten thousand years, successfully reclaiming most of the East Sea territory, forcing the Demon Clan to retreat into the deep sea.

The Demon Suppression Defense Line that Li Quanqing encountered earlier was set by all Divinity Transformation Venerables back then, encircling the entire continent.

As soon as it detects the arrival of demon energy, it automatically reawakens, slaying demon beasts, guarding the Human Clan's lands.

Earlier, due to his lack of understanding, he rode Ao Qing flagrantly through that sea area.

In the end, because of the demon energy emanated by the Azure Moon Qiu Dragon, the defense line was activated.

The sea boiled, split open on both sides, and a Combat Puppet of the Nascent Soul Realm emerged from the seabed.

At that time, Li Quanqing was completely taken aback.

Flying smoothly, when suddenly a ferocious and terrifying War Puppet appeared, its body tall as a mountain, casting a shadow, and the axe in its hand was larger than a palace.

Fortunately, this Giant Spirit Puppet wasn't rigid; it possessed simple sentience, capable of communication with people.

After a brief warning, it submerged back into the seabed to continue guarding the Human Clan's territory until the Demon Clan was entirely eradicated.

Li Quanqing was deeply shocked.

Even now, with the world shattered and Nascent Soul Cultivators struggling to break through, it seemed the major sects were on the verge of decline.

But the foundations left from the Ancient Times and the Ancient Sects are still enough for future generations to squander.

For example, these Giant Spirit War Puppets used for demon suppression, numbering over a hundred, surround the entire continent, slumbering in the depths of the seabed.

Equivalent to the heritage of over a hundred Nascent Soul beings!

There's also the Chaotic Star deep within the Star Sect, the Immortal Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly River Ruins, and even the ancient Dragon Gate Fragments treasured by the Beast Taming Sect.

All are incredible existences.

"If there were a cultivator or a power that could unite all these Nascent Soul Sects, harness all the Divine Artifacts in the world, it might just restore a bit of the glory of the Ancient Times..."

With a hopeful vision, Li Quanqing crossed the last few thousand miles of ocean, successfully reaching the distant Central Continent.

He gazed at the solid earth beneath his feet, and now thinking back, the Longevity Dao unquestionably seemed the most likely.

They explored the myriad worlds, plundering the essence, mending the heavens, naturally gaining the Heavenly Dao's favor, proceeding smoothly.

Perhaps, this is the choice of the world's will in self-rescue, unwilling to be shattered and meet extinction.

Li Quanqing stored Ao Qing into a bowl, personally landing on this piece of land, having not seen the ground for a long time, truly nostalgic.

The moment his foot touched the ground, he clearly felt its heaviness, solid as a rock, majestic as a mountain.

It was a profound sense of stability, like a mother's warm and firm embrace, providing endless nourishment and support to life, bearing everything, silently protecting all in the world.

Li Quanqing carefully perceived, with his deep cultivation, he already began to touch upon the rules in the void.

The Nascent Soul body naturally attuned to the Dao, and in these seemingly ordinary places, insights could be gained.

"Regrettably, I am not an Earth Spirit Root cultivator; the vast, boundless, and magnificent sea suits me more."

With a sigh, Li Quanqing took out the Jade Qilin Beast as his mount.

This fellow undoubtedly suited such an environment better, shaking its head, its four hooves repeatedly leaping, galloping on the land.

Soon, they gazed upon many mortal villages, orderly situated, dotted around this East Coast, relying on the sea for living.

These mortals weren't surprised to see immortals and exotic beasts, seemingly accustomed, only respectfully bowing before returning to their work.

"Not bad, living with dignity, unlike in the Mortal Kingdom of the East Sea, where they have entirely become vassals of the cultivators, and even mortal martial artists vie to become slaves."

Riding the Jade Qilin Beast, Li Quanqing entered a village, observing the surroundings with curiosity.

If it were on the East Sea islands, the entire village of mortals would have all knelt, crowdedly, under the leadership of the village head, to pay great respect to the immortals, awaiting orders.

Moreover, the material conditions of this village were much better, with brick and earthen walls, and two cross-shaped bluestone roads constructed.

At least on rainy days, it wouldn't be muddy, allowing these mortals to live more comfortably and decently.

Eventually, Li Quanqing stopped outside a large courtyard with brick walls, listening to the sound of reading from beyond the snow-white walls.

"This village isn't big, yet it has a private school, teaching and educating; it seems the Eternal Immortal Dynasty has indeed implemented compulsory education..."
