Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Chang’an was rendered speechless, seemingly feeling that the dual-headed tiger wasn’t faring as well as the other two beasts.

Yet in truth, the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea was most suitable for cultivation, and with the occasional feeding of yin spirit demon pills, it was certainly faster than taking it back for training.

However, his gaze skimmed past the dual-headed tiger, finally resting on the three-headed Yin Sha corpse puppet.

"These three Yin Sha corpse puppets are finally crafted."

The three enormous, fearsome-looking corpse puppets stood coldly in a row.

One was at the peak of Tier Three Early Stage, and the other two were at Tier Three Early Stage.

The Yin Sha corpse puppet, comparable to the combat power of body refining at the same rank, was an extremely useful tool for Lin Chang’an.

In times of danger, he could even use them as expendable cover without hesitation.

"Clean up the battlefield; the appointed time is nearly upon us."

"Yes, Master."

After harvesting three yin spirit demon pills and some rare yin spirit ash, the dual-headed tiger let out a lonely, reluctant sound.

The outwardly cold but inwardly passionate sword servant also left a yin spirit demon pill for the dual-headed tiger in reluctance.

This sight naturally did not escape Lin Chang’an’s notice.

"Alright, if we take Bibo Island this time, it will be much closer in the future."

After comforting the yin spirit beast king tiger, Lin Chang’an and his party transformed into escape lights and departed from there.

...

At the border of the Sea Abyss, on an unnamed small island, beams of escape light flashed, signaling the grand arrival of elite disciples from the Sect Clan.

In the surrounding sea, many loose cultivators who were out hunting or returning looked at the deserted island in shock.

"What’s happening? Why are there so many Core Formation cultivators!?"

"This presence, there are over ten Core Formation cultivators, and so many Foundation Establishment cultivators. Are they planning to hunt some earth-shattering great demon?"

"Shut up, that Qingyu Eagle of yours belongs to Profound Sound Pavilion, and other Core Formation cultivators’ magical treasure auras mark it as the Seven Kingdoms Alliance!"

"There are over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators. Let’s go; we must avoid provoking them."

The surrounding cultivators and spirit ships alike hurriedly avoided the powerful presence, fearing the strong enemy’s attention.

Considered a powerful force below Nascent Soul, the collective strength of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance gathered on the island was indeed formidable.

"Isn’t that Brother Wu from Liang Kingdom?"

"Hahaha, it’s been a long time. These years in this Demon Beast Abyss aren’t as good as our days back in the Seven Kingdoms."

On the barren mountain of the unnamed small island, several Core Formation cultivators, meeting again, showed expressions of nostalgia.

Back in the Seven Kingdoms, they even wished for each other’s death, but over the years, and with their experiences, this was no longer the case.

Upon meeting again, a feeling of empathy and camaraderie towards old friends inevitably arose.

"Indeed, each sea area has its own power, and Bihai Palace wouldn’t allow our Seven Kingdoms Alliance to gather. Otherwise, we would have taken control of a sea region long ago."

The Core Formation cultivators, both elderly and newly advanced, had, over the past century, let go of their previous prejudices and cherished this collaboration.

Meanwhile, as they gathered, the astonished exclamations of the surrounding loose cultivators and passing merchant ships were all heard by the strong divine senses of the Core Formation cultivators.

This brought a rare sense of boldness to many disgruntled cultivators.

Should the Seven Kingdoms Alliance join forces, supported by a Nascent Soul cultivator, they might yet establish a prominent presence.

Simultaneously, disciples at the Foundation Establishment level brought by various sects and clans were scattered below the barren mountain, some meditating cross-legged, others whispering amongst themselves.

Some even sneaked glances at the disciples of other sects and clans from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, whom they had never seen before.

Both male and female, they discreetly observed and inevitably engaged in conversation.

It was then that a resolute eagle cry cut through the air, causing innumerable cultivators to look up, witnessing a gigantic and imposing Tier Three Qingyu Eagle tearing through the clouds.

Two quasi-Tier Three Qingyu Eagles followed behind it, their backs carrying dozens of Profound Sound Pavilion Foundation Establishment cultivator disciples, who all gazed proudly below.

The modern Profound Sound Pavilion was not the dog with its tail between its legs, ready to abandon its base of operations when being beaten in Yue Kingdom.

Among the Seven Kingdoms now, the Profound Sound Pavilion was undeniably the foremost power.

"Look, it’s Fairy Ni Chang!"

The most renowned prodigy in the Seven Kingdoms, Fairy Ni Chang, stood proudly at the head of the Qingyu Eagle, her cyan and white palace robe exuding the authority of the Sect Leader of Profound Yin Pavilion.

Today, she wore an azure Cangming Jade Linghat.

Strung together with silken thread, countless bell-like ornaments formed the hat that shimmered with brilliant hues, its veil draping down to her waist.

Swaying with the wind, the bells emitted no ordinary sound, only casting faint ripples of azure spiritual waves, silently permeating the surrounding air.

"It’s a magical treasure!"

Nothing more than a hat, yet even it was a magical treasure, causing the cultivators present to exchange glances filled with envy.

Among magical treasures, offensive and defensive types were predominant; those like this one were not only rare, but often possessed mysterious divine techniques.

"Greetings, Mr. Ni Chang."

"Haha, Fairy Ni Chang has finally arrived. Our Seven Kingdoms Alliance is counting on you."

"Greetings, Sect Master Ni Chang."

As the Qingyu Eagle gently cried, it landed its massive body, and the disciples of Profound Sound Pavilion descended, while the Core Formation cultivators approached with smiles and clasped hands in respect.

"You flatter me, fellow Daoists. This gathering is a major event for our Seven Kingdoms Alliance; how could I dare to be arrogant?"

With a gentle smile, Fairy Ni Chang displayed none of the arrogance typical of Core Formation Late Stage cultivators.
