Chapter 2636 Reunion
A gentle breeze was blowing across the sea.
Qin Sang and Lady Yu Shen flew side by side in mid-air.
It seems that becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot change a woman's love of beauty. Lady Jade Goddess deliberately wore a bamboo hat and a light veil to cover her face, concealing her terrifying appearance.
They are now flying in a direction that is gradually moving away from the Netherworld Ancestor Mountain and heading towards the Sea God Pavilion.
As the name suggests, the Sea God Pavilion is a force subordinate to the Sea God Temple, and is an outpost established by the Sea God Temple. Although there are not many Sea God Pavilions, they can cover the entire Star Sand Sea, and their locations are often in the center of that sea area.
This Sea God Pavilion is not far from the Netherworld Ancestor Mountain, and it can directly reach the heart of the Netherworld Ancestor Mountain's territory, which shows how powerful the Sea God Palace is.
The Temple of Poseidon is said to have been built on the eye of the Star Sand Sea. The pavilions there are like branches extending from the eye, serving not only as tools for the Temple of Poseidon to demonstrate its influence and amass wealth, but also as tools for teleportation.
The Star Sand Sea is vast and teeming with demonic cultivators, fraught with danger. Low-level cultivators dare not and are unable to travel too far. However, the Sea God Pavilion has connected the four sea areas of the Star Sand Sea, making it possible for Star Sand Sea cultivators to travel far.
Whether in the mortal realm or the cultivation world, 'road construction' is always the top priority. If it weren't for the vast teleportation array system of the Eight Great Heavenly Continents, the human race in the Spirit Realm would still be a disorganized mess, and the Great Zhou Dynasty wouldn't have been able to maintain itself for so long.
The gathering of the three deities is being held by the Sea God Temple. For Qin Sang and his group, going through the Sea God Pavilion is the most convenient way to reach the Sea God Temple.
Through these Sea God Pavilions, the Sea God Temple effectively controls the entire Star Sand Sea, rather than the equally renowned Netherworld Ancestor Mountain and the Weeping Blood Spirit Mansion, demonstrating that the legend has some truth to it.
Lady Jade Goddess had no intention of covering up the shame of her sect. Seeing the towering pavilion rising from the sea in the distance, she remarked with emotion, "Those old codgers have been cowardly for too long. Even when people come knocking on their door, they just swallow their anger. They show no mercy to their own people."
Every time this person mentioned other fellow disciples, he was full of resentment. Qin Sang didn't know what kind of conflict existed between Madam Jade Goddess and her sect, so she didn't comment and instead gazed at the Sea God Pavilion in the distance.
There, the sky was a clear, azure blue, and the surrounding sea was vast and empty, without any islands. A magnificent pavilion rose from the seabed, reaching straight to the heavens, with countless layers. Around the pavilion, water was condensed to create land, forming what appeared to be a celestial city. Many cultivators came and went, making it even more bustling than the celestial city surrounding the Nether Ancestor Mountain.
At noon, under the blazing sun, the pavilion shimmered and shone, as if it were made of countless pieces of jade and crystal.
He squinted and stared at the sun high in the sky, which looked no different from the sun in the spirit world.
The sun represents the ultimate yang energy in the world and is the source of power for the growth of all things. It should shine on countless worlds at the same time, just like the stars. Whether in the spirit world, the demon world, or those smaller worlds, everyone sees the same sun.
The same applies to the moon, but Qin Sang suddenly remembered that not long after ascending to the Spirit Realm, she had seen a blood moon, which was considered an ominous sign.
Since then, a blood moon has appeared in the spirit realm once more over the thousands of years, but Qin Sang was in seclusion at the time and did not witness it.
At that time, the blood moon, the moon, and the dark moon, three moon shadows, three moons shining together, could such a scene be seen in the demon realm, or was it unique to the spirit realm? What did each of the three moon shadows represent?
“Let’s go straight to the top floor,” Lady Jade Goddess interrupted Qin Sang’s thoughts.
They ascended to the top floor of the Sea God Pavilion. The cultivators inside noticed them, and a plump, wealthy-looking cultivator immediately came out to greet them, smiling and bowing respectfully. "This humble one greets Madam and Lord Demon Lord. Are you two seniors on your way to the Gathering of the Three Venerables?"
Although this person only has the cultivation level of Refining Void, he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of them, and is the person in charge of the Sea God Pavilion here.
"Enough with the nonsense, lead the way!" Lady Jade Goddess snorted coldly.
The man's smile remained unchanged as he bowed and led them to the top floor of the Sea God Pavilion. The scene inside was unexpected; it was not the grand hall they had imagined, but an endless expanse of sea, as if a vast ocean had been sealed inside.
There is a huge whirlpool in the center of the sea, constantly spinning and unfathomably deep.
Qin Sang and Lady Yu Shen flew above the vortex, where a gentle suction force enveloped them, instantly drawing them into the vortex.
Similar to the feeling of riding a teleportation array, Qin Sang soon felt the suction force turn into a repulsive force, throwing them out. At this time, they had arrived at another Sea God Pavilion located near the Sea God Temple.
After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Qin Sang stopped and looked north, where the Sea God Temple was located.
"Fellow Daoist, are you already impatient?"
Lady Jade Goddess chuckled, “The Sea God Palace will only emerge from the seabed once the Three Venerables’ Gathering begins. However, as long as you reveal your cultivation, I’m sure the Sea God Palace will not mistreat you.”
"I have long heard of the grand occasion of the Three Venerables' Gathering and have indeed longed to attend, but there's no harm in waiting a little longer," Qin Sang shook his head, "Where does Madam wish to take me now?"
"It is the villa of an old friend of mine..."
As they spoke, they quickened their pace, crossing a vast expanse of sea, when Lady Jade God suddenly activated her escape technique.
Qin Sang followed and landed on the sea surface. Below, there were clouds and mist, and the shadows of several islands could be faintly seen among the clouds and mist.
Unlike the Jade Goddess's dojo, these clouds and mists only serve to obscure the view and have no harmful effect. As soon as you enter them, the mist dissipates suddenly, and the interior is bathed in sunlight.
The islands vary in size, and many people live on them, including monks and ordinary people.
Lady Jade Goddess flew with him over these islands, heading straight for a small island in the middle. Although the island was small, it had towering peaks and was surrounded by mist, making it the highest place in the vicinity.
As they approached the island, they heard a silvery laugh.
"Hehe, Jade Goddess, when did you find your ideal husband?"
Ahead, the mist parted, leading to a pavilion on the mountain. Inside stood a beautiful woman in colorful clothes, smiling at them, her alluring eyes lingering on Qin Sang's face.
An ordinary man would be consumed by lust upon seeing those eyes; every smile and frown of this woman has the power to bewitch.
As expected, Lady Jade Goddess has befriended a demoness!
Qin Sang thought to himself, "Fortunately, this woman saw that he was also a demon lord, and only teased him with words, without being too presumptuous."
"I'm not like you, embroiderer, who gets horny whenever you see a man!"
Lady Jade Goddess retorted, turning her head to say, "Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, this is the Palace Master of Jade Embroidery Palace, a ruthless and vicious woman. Don't be fooled by her appearance."
Upon hearing the name Jade Embroidery Palace, Qin Sang's heart stirred. She remembered seeing it in the Immortal City of the Underworld Ancestor Mountain. It was similar to a brothel in the mortal world, but of course it wouldn't be so vulgar.
Who would have thought that a demon lord was behind it all!
"Jade God, please don't sow discord. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Qingfeng has also patronized my business and is a patron of one of my daughters," the embroiderer said with a light laugh, covering her mouth.
"The Jade Embroidery Palace is a very famous place, and there should be few cultivators in the Star Sand Sea who do not know it," Qin Sang said, cupping his hands in greeting.
A strange light flashed in the embroiderer's eyes.
Not only does the Jade Embroidery Palace engage in the flesh trade, but its intelligence capabilities are also top-notch; they had never even heard of this Qingfeng Demon Lord.
She glanced at Lady Yu Shen without making a sound, wondering where this lover had come from.
Lady Jade Goddess had no intention of explaining to her. She led Qin Sang to the pavilion and looked around. "Have they not arrived yet?"
The embroiderer yawned and said pitifully, "You're all so heartless, making me wait for so long..."
Seeing Lady Jade frown, she said seriously, "The fellow Daoists I invited can come at any time. It is said that the Evil Lord has arrived near the Sea God Temple, but he has temporarily gone into seclusion for some reason. However, he should arrive in the next day or two. Master Su sent a message some time ago that he is going to pick up a fellow Daoist, so he may be a day late."
"Is it just the four of us this time?"
Lady Jade sighed and explained to Qin Sang telepathically.
"The Bone Demon Lord hails from the Blood-Weeping Spirit Mansion, and his cultivation surpasses ours. His Blood Bone Technique is unparalleled. He is eccentric and unpredictable; if he offends you, I hope you will be patient and allow me to mediate. That Master Su is also a remarkable figure; you may have heard of him. He is a rogue cultivator who once went to the Northern Demon Realm to resist the demonic tide and returned unscathed..."
The members of this gathering were either from prestigious families or had illustrious reputations, making Qin Sang seem rather lackluster in comparison.
At this point, as if to retort to the embroiderer, Madam Yu Shen said loudly, "That Mr. Su is also one of the embroiderer's lovers."
The embroiderer showed no shame and said with a smile, "They are so arrogant, I could only dream of having an affair with one."
Qin Sang silently observed the two women. In the short time since they met, they had been constantly exchanging blows, both overt and covert. She wondered if they were just too close and had no inhibitions, or if they were a pair of sworn enemies.
Everyone will be able to arrive by the day after tomorrow.
Unable to join the conversation between the two women, Qin Sang asked for a quiet room, bid them farewell, and walked away, ignoring their gossip about her behind her back.
The morning after tomorrow.
Qin Sang, who was meditating, was awakened by Madam Yu Shen. The two walked to the mountain pavilion and found that there were already four people in the pavilion.
Besides the embroiderer, there were two men and one woman.
The embroiderer rose and introduced the two parties.
Qin Sang also learned the identities of these three people.
One of the tall, thin male cultivators, whose Buddhist name was Wang Chenzi, was the island lord of Tianwang Island. Tianwang Island was located near the Sea God Temple, yet he was able to make a name for himself right under the nose of the Sea God Temple, which shows his ability.
The other man and woman are a married couple. The man's name is Liu Sui Mo Jun, and the woman's Buddhist name is Xi Ying Xue Fei. They come from different sects. After becoming Daoist partners, they integrated their forces, formed the Sui Ying Alliance, and gained the allegiance of many sects, creating a considerable presence in the southern part of Xing Sha Hai.
Just as the embroiderer introduced the identities of both parties, a deafening roar of the tide came from outside the island. Everyone stared in the direction of the tide and saw a blood-red light surging towards them from the horizon, arriving nearby in an instant.
"The Evil Lord of the Withered Bones has arrived!" Wang Chenzi whispered.
At the same time, everyone felt the oppressive aura emanating from the blood-red light.
Everyone looked solemn. All those present were at the early stage of the Integration Realm, except for the Bone Demon Lord, who stood out from the crowd. Therefore, no one dared to be negligent and went out to greet him.
The next moment, the blood-red light suddenly disappeared, revealing a gaunt old man in a blood-red robe, none other than the Bone Demon Lord.
"Greetings, Evil Lord!"
Everyone bowed and greeted him, and Qin Sang was no exception.
His withered, triangular eyes swept over the crowd, and the Bone Demon Lord let out a sinister laugh. Those who met his gaze felt a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, another figure appeared behind the Bone Demon Lord; it was a fair-skinned young man.
Upon seeing this person, both Lady Yugu and the embroiderer showed a look of doubt.
The embroiderer carefully examined the young man, then suddenly remembered something and stepped forward with a smile, "Congratulations, Evil Lord, another Demon Lord has emerged from the Bloodstained Spirit Palace!"
The Bone Demon Lord chuckled strangely, "Chen Sha, these are all prominent figures in the Star Sand Sea, we can't treat them poorly."
Chen Sha Demon Lord seemed quite approachable, bowing respectfully to all, "Chen Sha greets fellow Daoists."
For a moment, everyone was in a harmonious atmosphere.
At this moment, the gaze of the Bone Demon Lord suddenly fell on Qin Sang, and he said coldly, "When Madam introduced this Fellow Daoist Qingfeng just now, why didn't she mention his sect? If he is a rising star from the Underworld Ancestor Mountain, he should get closer to Chen Sha. Why are you being so secretive?"
Qin Sang knew that this person might not be targeting her.
Now that the Sea God Temple is all-powerful, the Underworld Ancestor Mountain and the Weeping Blood Spirit Mansion can only compete with each other, and even the Demon Lord cannot escape sectarianism.
The embroiderer was secretly anxious. Although she couldn't sense any hostility yet, those familiar with the Bone Demon Lord knew that his temper was about to flare up again. If she didn't handle it well, the entire gathering would be ruined.
She was about to send a telepathic message to Qin Sang when, fortunately, someone came to their rescue.
A hearty laugh echoed from the horizon, growing louder as it approached.
"Many years have passed since we parted ways, yet the Evil Lord's charm remains unchanged!"
The Bone Demon Lord's gaze sharpened, and he finally looked away from Qin Sang.
Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a green leaf flying from the horizon. The leaf was as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as a feather. They immediately recognized it as Mr. Su's famous treasure, the Green Return Shuttle.
Two people were standing on the Qinghui Shuttle. The one on the left was Mr. Su, while the one on the right was a stranger.
The embroiderer thought to herself that this was strange; it was unprecedented for three unfamiliar faces to appear at this gathering.
No one noticed that a strange light flashed in Qin Sang's eyes. He recognized that person; it was none other than the Demon Lord Luo Luo, whom he had met once in the Abyss of Nether Thunder!
At this moment, Demon Lord Luo Luo also saw Qin Sang. He was first taken aback, and then a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Those present were all Demon Lords, with keen observation skills. They immediately noticed the clues from his change in expression and all glanced at Qin Sang.
'Shuh! '
The Azure Shuttle arrived in a moment, and Master Su and Demon Lord Luo landed gracefully.
Mr. Su was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, and had no trace of demonic aura about him; he looked like a romantic scholar.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, he invited Demon Lord Luoluo to step forward. "Let me introduce you all. This is Demon Lord Luoluo, a fellow Daoist I met when I went to the Northern Demon Realm to fight."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang suddenly realized that he had underestimated this Demon Lord Luo Luo, and was glad that he had not clashed with him.
The Bone Demon Lord is eccentric, but he is quite wary of Master Su. Master Su makes no secret of his admiration for Demon Lord Luo Luo. Moreover, this person dares to go to the front line of the Demon Tide to fight, so his strength must not be underestimated!
At this moment, Lady Jade God spoke up from the side, "Fellow Daoist Qingfeng and Demon Lord Luoluo knew each other before?"
