Chapter 303: Seven Spirits Island, Immortal Alliance
After the five people flew out of the island, they flew forward for more than a hundred miles before they reached the edge of the huge whirlpool.
Looking around, I saw a hazy ball of light shining on the sea in the distance, and large patches of colorful light condensed and rotated in the sky, like a huge upside-down funnel.
Ye Changsheng sensed it with his spiritual sense and found that both the white light ball and the five-colored light contained astonishingly pure spiritual energy. Even the top-level spiritual veins were slightly inferior to it.
Master Zhiyang pointed at the big whirlpool and said, "Under this whirlpool is the center of a giant sealing formation in the boundless sea!"
"The seven spiritual islands around here are actually part of the sealing formation. I went down to investigate and found that the bottom of the vortex is actually filled with unfathomable and boundless demonic energy. It is impossible to find out exactly how deep it is. It is only because of the pure spiritual energy in the vortex that the demonic energy is suppressed and does not break out of the formation."
"If we don't repair the formation in time, the evil spirit will burst out, which will definitely be a catastrophe for us in Tiannan. The spiritual energy of the whole world will change immediately. I even suspect that the Boundless Sea was so horrible before, maybe it was related to the evil spirit on the bottom of the sea!"
Master Zhiyang told Ye Changsheng the story with a serious expression.
Ye Changsheng didn't show any expression, but Xin Ruyin beside him had a look of shock on her face.
Such an unfathomable ancient formation has an impact beyond words for someone like her who studies formations.
For a moment, she was surprised and happy, and she wanted to go to the whirlpool in front of her immediately to study the formation.
"Let's look further ahead!" Wei Wuya said.
Everyone flew forward for a distance again. When they arrived here, the shape of the huge whirlpool came into their sight extremely clearly.
A huge hole with a diameter of three or four hundred feet appeared. It was called a whirlpool, but there was not a drop of sea water in the center. Instead, wisps of pure white spiritual energy gushed out from it from time to time, and then the spiritual energy floated into the sky. Under the sunlight, it turned into a large patch of rosy clouds that covered half of the sky, appearing extremely gorgeous.
After getting closer, everyone clearly felt a strong suction force. Xin Ruyin's body swayed and she was almost sucked over.
Ye Changsheng quickly threw out a beam of light to cover her, and at this time he heard the words of Master Zhiyang in his ear:
"Brother Ye, now that you have seen the problem with this whirlpool, the main task of repairing this place will be handed over to you, Brother Ye!"
"However, the formation masters we invited will also stay here to discuss a repair plan with Miss Xin. After the formation is completed, they will leave!"
Ye Changsheng nodded upon hearing this and said, "No problem, but if there are any materials needed to repair this formation, I hope you fellow Taoists will not be shy about it!"
"This concerns the survival of Tiannan, so we naturally dare not keep anything to ourselves. However, since Brother Ye has taken away these seven spiritual islands, we cannot give those materials to Brother Ye for free. Brother Ye needs to take out materials or spiritual stones of equal value in exchange!" said the old demon Hehuan expressionlessly.
Hearing what he said, Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya looked calm and said nothing, but they clearly showed some approval on their faces.
Obviously, the two of them agreed with what the old demon Hehuan said.
Since Ye Changsheng has already taken on the entire task of repairing and guarding this formation, they must of course withdraw right away.
If there is no need to bear the responsibility here, then the materials would naturally not be sent here in vain.
After all, who knows whether Ye Changsheng asked for those materials to repair the formation or to enrich himself.
The three old foxes are not willing to let Ye Changsheng take advantage of this matter.
Glancing at the three of them, Ye Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Okay, just as you three said, I will take on the responsibility of providing the materials to repair the formation. If I don't have them, I will exchange them for something of equal value from you three!"
"Haha, okay, in that case, I will take my disciples and evacuate first!" Master Zhiyang laughed twice, bowed to everyone, and flew away.
The old demon Hehuan also left without saying a word, flew to an island, and took all the disciples of his Hehuan Sect away with him.
Wei Wuya took a look at the whirlpool, and then said: "Brother Ye, you'd better start to repair the restrictions here as soon as possible. The spiritual energy here alone can't suppress the evil energy below for long!"
Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "I will give priority to this matter!"
"I think Brother Ye knows what's going on. I won't waste any more words. Bye!" Wei Wuya bowed and then turned into a long rainbow and flew away.
A moment later, when Ye Changsheng and Xin Ruyin went to look at the seven islands again, they found that all the people who had been stationed on the seven islands had left.
Only a few white-haired old men are left here.
These people are the few top formation masters in Tiannan.
Ye Changsheng left Xin Ruyin behind to discuss with them how to repair the ancient formation, and then he flew back to the whirlpool.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the whirlpool for a moment, then turned into a stream of light and flew into the whirlpool.
After diving down into a depth of ten thousand feet along the whirlpool, Ye Changsheng saw a milky white light appearing under his feet, dazzling and dazzling, like a thick light curtain.
And behind this light curtain, countless evil spirits are constantly wriggling, forming a dark mass.
"The amount of demonic energy here is even more exaggerated than that in the Chaos Star Sea. I'm afraid that even a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage won't be able to stay in here for long!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the demonic energy below.
After a moment, he moved, passed through the layer of light curtain restriction, and truly entered the demonic energy.
The demonic energy is so dense that it is impossible to detect how deep or wide it is. The demonic energy suppressed below is probably so massive that it is difficult to describe it.
"Master Zhiyang is right. If the evil energy in here is released, the whole of Tiannan will be destroyed!"
With the divine thunder that could ward off evil flashing all over his body, Ye Changsheng sank down until he reached the bottom of the evil energy after sinking three thousand feet.
"Tsk tsk, three thousand feet, the demonic energy here is too exaggerated. Fortunately, there are no living creatures underneath, otherwise it would have given birth to several extremely terrifying demons!" Ye Changsheng murmured.
Standing at the bottom of this abyss of demonic energy, he was able to stay here for long only because of the shining evil-repelling divine thunder on his body.
If there was no divine thunder to ward off evil, these evil spirits would immediately pounce on him and contaminate him.
After flying forward for a while, Ye Changsheng came to a platform that looked like an altar.
He walked around the altar and found that it was a square platform with an area of about one acre. Both its style and the patterns engraved on the surrounding stone walls showed that it was very old and must have been built by ancient monks.
Coming to the center of the altar, he saw a stone tablet that had been broken into several pieces, lying there quietly, with only a small part of the foundation still standing.
Although the stone tablet was destroyed, one could still see some broken runes engraved on it that Ye Changsheng could not understand. The stone tablet was obviously made of very precious materials, and it seemed that its spiritual power had not yet dissipated, with a milky white light flashing on it from time to time.
Judging from the marks on the broken parts, the stone tablet had not been destroyed for long. It seemed that the stone tablet should have been an important item to suppress the eye of the formation, so it was destroyed when the formation broke down.
After taking a few glances, Ye Changsheng unceremoniously picked up all the broken pieces of the stone tablet and took them away.
Then, he engraved the shape of the altar on a jade slip and prepared to take it back to show Xin Ruyin.
Then, he walked around the altar a few more times, and not long after, a black and translucent crystal appeared in his hand. It was only the size of a thumb and looked small and exquisite.
"Demon Marrow Drill!"
"If we take this thing out, the demonic monks will go crazy for it!" Ye Changsheng looked at the crystal in his hand and marveled at it.
After putting away the Demonic Marrow Diamond and sensing that the evil-repelling divine thunder on his body was almost consumed, he immediately floated up and left this demonic abyss.
Not long after, Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao and others who lived in Wufeng Chaoyang Valley were brought to these seven islands.
Mu Peiling from Luoyun Sect was also picked up by Nangong Wan, and Ye Changsheng and his family officially settled on the Seven Spirit Island.
The original valley was completely abandoned and everything was moved away.
The seven islands began to become bustling with people.
A business alliance called the Changsheng Alliance was formally established. It took the Qiling Island as its base and quickly expanded to the Xi Kingdom.
In Yunmeng Mountain, where the three major sects of Xi Country converge, a store of the Changsheng League suddenly opened here one day.
At first, this shop did not attract many people's attention, but soon, some curious monks discovered that the magic tools, formations, elixirs, talismans, etc. sold in this business alliance were all of top quality.
The quality is much higher than the goods sold in other stores.
Soon, these cultivators from Xi Country gave up the shops they had patronized before and began to enter the shops of the Changsheng Alliance to choose the cultivation resources they needed.
The reputation of the Changsheng Alliance spread quickly.
At first, it was only circulated among the lower-level disciples of Xiguo. But one day, a fake elixir cultivator from Baiqiao Academy found an elixir in the shop of Changsheng League that could greatly increase the chance of forming an elixir. After successfully forming an elixir, the shop of Changsheng League suddenly became famous in Xiguo.
Not only did the Foundation Establishment cultivators come here in droves, but even some of the Core Forming cultivators came out of curiosity to take a look.
As a result, someone happened to find a level five demon pill in this shop, and immediately spent several thousand spirit stones to happily buy it.
All of a sudden, the Changsheng League’s store became well-known in the entire Xiguo immortal cultivation world.
When some people started to have evil intentions towards this store, a piece of news came that made them immediately silent.
It turns out that this shop of the Changsheng League was opened by the famous Tiannan’s number one cultivator, Ye Changsheng!
Its headquarters is on the Seven Spirit Islands that appear on the boundless sea north of Xiguo.
When the news spread, ordinary people in the Tiannan cultivation world only then learned that Ye Changsheng had actually opened a business alliance.
For ordinary monks, they don’t care at all about the interest conflicts involved in the establishment of this trade alliance.
They only care whether the goods sold in this store are of good quality and low price.
When the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce spread, low-level cultivators from the surrounding countries immediately flocked to Xi Country, wanting to see whether the cultivation resources sold in this store were really of the high quality as rumored.
Some fake alchemy cultivators even sent their disciples to guard the door of the shop, just to wait for the elixir that assists in forming the elixir to appear again in the shop.
The emergence of the Changsheng League has set off a wave of enthusiasm in Xi Country and several surrounding Tiandao League countries.
The many Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tiandao League knew all about this matter, and they also soon learned that the profits of the shops run by their own sect were damaged.
But they could only turn a blind eye to such things and dared not really do anything about the store.
However, the displeasure of these Yuanying old monsters towards the Changsheng Alliance soon disappeared.
Because, not long after, news came from the Qiling Island that twenty years later, the Changsheng Alliance would hold a grand auction at the Qiling Island headquarters.
And on the auction list that was initially leaked, there were already many things that made these Yuanying monsters ecstatic.
After seeing the names of these things, these Yuanying monsters no longer cared about the declining profits of their own shops, and shifted their attention to the auction to be held in twenty years.
When the news of the auction leaked, twelve years had passed since Ye Changsheng and his family moved to Qiling Island.
During these twelve years, Xin Ruyin discussed with the Tiannan formation masters and finally came up with a plan to repair the formation.
Finally, after some effort, the ancient formation that suppressed the evil spirit was repaired, and the sword hanging over the head of Monk Tiannan disappeared.
After this incident, Xin Ruyin's attainments in formations further improved. After those formation masters left, she spent several years designing a top-notch protective formation for the Seven Spirit Island.
After this formation was set up, even great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage did not dare to force their way in.
After Xin Ruyin's hard work, the Seven Spirit Island truly became the foundation of a force and became indestructible.
Nangong Wan and others were also busy, recruiting disciples, developing business alliances, and running the store in Xi Country, all of which were managed by them.
Things like training the Chamber of Commerce's own formation masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners have also been gradually put on the agenda and are being carried out in an orderly manner.
Of course, the most important thing is to cultivate the Chamber of Commerce's own combat effectiveness. When the Chamber of Commerce expands on a large scale in the future, when problems arise, they cannot always be asked to deal with everything.
Twenty years later, when the Changsheng Alliance has made a name for itself in the auction, it will begin to expand to other countries in the Tiandao Alliance.
According to the idea of Nangong Wan and others, in the stores that will be opened in the various countries in Tiannan in the future, they will only sell cultivation resources below the Jindan level.
All cultivation resources above the Jindan level are placed at the headquarters for sale.
This is also done to prevent someone from taking risks, and the Changsheng Alliance does not have so many high-level cultivators scattered around to guard.
