Chapter 453 - 259: Liu Ying Ziyi: Aren’t We Fake Besties?
The Chixue Sea Region, Cangyu Islands.
"...Husband, we’ve arrived!"
Following Liu Qianlan’s soft, enchanting voice, the magnificent Tianzhou Skyboat slowly decelerated and approached the main island.
Looking down from high above, the massive, feather-shaped main island was already clearly visible. Most of it was covered in green, presenting a scene of beautiful landscapes and abundant Spiritual Qi.
"This place isn’t bad. It seems even a cut above Yu Long Island in the Feiyu Sea Region."
Ling Changqing remarked, standing by the railing on the spacious foredeck.
This was his first time inspecting the area, as no battles had actually taken place on Longevity Hall’s territory during the previous war.
As the master of this land, the peerless beauty Liu Qianlan naturally took on the role of a guide.
Today, she was dressed in a sky-blue, flowing gown patterned with a hundred flowers and clouds, a style that perfectly accentuated the stunning curves of her figure. The golden hairpins and tassels in her cloud-like chignon gleamed brightly, her skin was fairer than snow, and her captivating, bewitching aura was utterly soul-stirring.
Even before she had committed herself to Ling Changqing, her Cultivation was already at the Late stage Golden Core, bordering on the Golden Core Peak. After years of arduous cultivation, she had finally achieved Great Perfection over two years ago and successfully stepped into the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.
Even her Direct Disciple, Liu Xiuyan, now possessed a Middle stage Golden Core Cultivation, and her Destiny had been all but reborn.
"This place is relatively close to the Feiyu Sea Region and is rich in resources. In the future, we’ll need to assign two Core Formation Cultivators to guard it."
Ling Changqing said. The Ling Family had a few Pseudo Core Cultivators now, so assigning two of them here wouldn’t be difficult.
"Of course, Husband."
Clad in a palace gown as pure white as snow, the innocent, sweet, and dazzlingly beautiful Liu Xiuyan replied softly from his side.
This place was a size larger than Yu Long Island in the Feiyu Sea Region. The island possessed several Third Grade Spirit Veins that covered a wide area, resulting in fertile soil and abundant produce. It had always been a densely populated land.
Besides this main island with the best Spiritual Qi Environment, there were hundreds of other islands of various sizes, with Grade One and Grade Two Spirit Veins, suitable for mortal habitation.
In the past, this entire area had been under the Gu Family’s sphere of influence. After several centuries of careful management, the mortal population had grown to exceed thirty billion.
However, after provoking the Ling Family of Changqing Continent, the Gu Family’s luck took a turn for the worse. Their situation deteriorated day by day until they were finally annihilated by the Longevity Hall, which was backed by the Ling Family.
Liu Qianlan smiled radiantly and wrapped her arm around Ling Changqing’s, leaning her soft, voluptuous, and fragrant body against him. "The entire Chixue Sea Region has quite a few large islands with Third Grade Spirit Veins," she said. "We’ll need to station Core Formation Cultivators on all of them in the future. I’m just afraid we won’t have enough people!"
Ling Changqing mused, "That’s not a major issue. If we don’t have enough Core Formation Cultivators, we certainly won’t be short on Foundation Establishment Cultivators, right? We’ll assign them for now and just cultivate more of the former later."
The Ling Family didn’t lack resources at present. As long as they were willing to invest, the number of Cultivators at the Late stage Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and even Pseudo Core levels would surely increase.
In terms of Spiritual Qi Environment, the Chixue Sea Region was indeed a major tier above the Feiyu Sea Region. It even had several islands with complete Grade Four Spirit Veins, and its variety of high-value local resources was much richer.
Therefore, according to Ling Qiyue’s strategic plan, the majority of the Ling Family’s clansmen were to be relocated to the Chixue Sea Region in batches.
Li Long Continent, located here, was once the most powerful veteran Golden Core power in the Chixue Sea Region, far stronger than the likes of the former Gu Family, Feng Family, You Family, and Nu Tao Sect.
In the war six months ago, when faced with the Ling Family’s Cultivator Army, this Sect not only revealed its entire foundation—a total of over twenty Golden Core Masters, more than a hundred True Pill Cultivators—but even had two genuine Nascent Soul True Monarchs join the battle.
One of them had been nurtured by Li Long Continent itself, while the other Nascent Soul True Monarch was an Honored Guest Elder hired at a great expense.
This showed that the Ling Family of Changqing Continent wasn’t the only one who understood the art of feigning weakness; the upper echelon of Li Long Continent also had long-term vision and grand ambitions.
If the Ling Family hadn’t arrived with more Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were also stronger, and if they didn’t have Ling Changqing, the Child of Destiny, holding the line, the Ling Family might have truly suffered a major setback here.
After a fierce battle, Li Long Continent’s two Nascent Soul True Monarchs were defeated, suffering heavy injuries before perishing on the spot. The current Sect Leader fell along with them, and more than half of their Golden Core and True Pill Cultivators were killed or wounded.
In the end, the few surviving Core Elders saw that the situation was hopeless and could only announce their surrender in resignation.
The Ling Family’s battles against the remaining Golden Core powers were not even worth mentioning; they steamrolled through them all.
After the great war concluded, Ling Qiyue inspected the entire territory of Li Long Continent and decided to develop it as the new headquarters for the Ling Family clan.
After all, it possessed a complete, large-scale Grade Four Spirit Vein, and the number of superior Grade Four Cave Mansion Halls totaled more than ten—over ten times better than what they had on Changqing Continent.
In the future, all the women of his harem and the core clan members would be moved here. All other islands with Grade Four Spirit Veins were to be under the Patriarch’s direct control. Even if they had to lie vacant temporarily due to a shortage of manpower, no outsiders would be allowed to touch them.
The Tianzhou Skyboat slowly descended. Accompanied by the master and disciple pair, Liu Qianlan and Liu Xiuyan, Ling Changqing left the Tower Boat and took a tour of the local Marketplace. He then paid a short visit to the former headquarters of the Gu Family clan.
The areas that produced important resources had already been registered and cataloged by the family’s Cultivators, and the records were presented to Ling Changqing for his review.
Half a day later, Ling Changqing and the two women returned to the Ling Family’s headquarters on Li Long Continent.
Li Long Continent was nearly ten times larger than Changqing Continent. It boasted two complete, large-scale Grade Four Spirit Veins and had been managed by its previous masters for over a thousand years.
