?Chapter 776: Chapter 343 The Purpose of the Changyun Clan_2 Chapter 776: Chapter 343 The Purpose of the Changyun Clan_2 “And in the Inner Sea, there are enemies of the Lin Family.
If they learn that Lin Jue is in the Inner Sea, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t harbor some ill intentions.”
“It’s not safe for Lin Jue to go to the Inner Sea.”
“In the next few days, I plan to make a trip to the Inner Sea to see if I can bring Lin Jue back.”
Hearing Lin Jing say this, Ye Yun quickly raised his head, his eyes flickering with light, and spoke to Lin Jing:
“Master, I will go too…
”
However.
Lin Jing looked at Ye Yun, shook his head, and said:
“No…”
“The Inner Sea is dangerous, and your cultivation is too low.”
“Moreover, this trip to the Inner Sea might well lead to encounters with old enemies of the Lin Family—even my own identity could easily be exposed.”
“I cannot take you with me this time.”
“I understand, Master!” Ye Yun replied, his eyes immediately dimming.
Although he knew Lin Jing said this for his sake, Ye Yun did not persist and simply nodded, albeit despondently.
…
Lin Jue was already on his way to the Changyun Clan, and it was hardly possible for Lin Jing to catch up now.
Moreover, even if Lin Jing could catch up, could he possibly snatch someone from the hands of a Tribulation Cultivator?
Therefore.
This matter had to be approached slowly.
Fortunately, having learned that Lin Jue was likely in no immediate danger, Lin Jing could be at ease.
Having just emerged from the Five Elements Ruins after decades, Lin Jing had lost touch with the outside world and was cut off from information.
His first task was to gather some information to see what had happened to the Changyun Clan and then decide what to do next.
The Seven Seas Hall was undoubtedly the best choice to quickly obtain this information.
The information regarding the Changyun Clan could definitely be purchased there.
…
Purchasing information from the Seven Seas Hall didn’t even require Lin Jing’s presence; he could just arrange for it to be handled by Yue Qiniang and the others.
After planning everything, Lin Jing looked towards Li Qingqing and Ye Yun.
Decades had passed, and Li Qingqing looked the same as before, her beauty unchanged and still captivating.
But her cultivation had changed significantly.
Li Qingqing was now a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Of course, there was also Ye Yun.
Decades had passed, and Ye Yun had even cultivated to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, not far from the late phase of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Now that all the masters of the three major islands had perished.
Even without Lin Jing, with their cultivation levels, they could already walk sideways across the Thousand Islands Domain.
As Lin Jing looked at them, both of them also looked back at Lin Jing, especially Li Qingqing.
Her gaze, though reserved, clearly mixed with deep feelings.
Even Ye Yun, who was nearby, could see it.
“Ahem…
”
Being stared at continuously by Li Qingqing made Lin Jing quite uncomfortable, and he quickly coughed to cover his embarrassment.
“How have you been during this time?”
“I see both of your cultivations have improved quite a bit.”
Li Qingqing sighed lightly, then spoke:
“We’ve been quite well; Li Yan Island has also developed well during this time.”
“Lin Jing, how about you?”
“You’ve been gone so long, only to return now; did you encounter any dangers?”
Lin Jing smiled and then directly replied:
“This trip went quite smoothly.
I didn’t encounter any dangers, but I did gain some fortuitous encounters, and my cultivation has increased significantly.”
Having said this, Lin Jing suddenly shifted the conversation, asking the two:
“By the way…”
“How is your brother doing?”
“And Qiniang, I haven’t seen her since I came back.”
Li Qingqing said:
“My brother is now at the late stages of the Nascent Soul and is currently preparing to try advancing to Divinity Transformation, competing with others for Wan Mo Island.”
“Qiniang is representing me at Yuxing Island, negotiating matters concerning Yue Tian Island.”
“Yue Tian Island’s matters?” Lin Jing couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Li Qingqing then explained:
“Right…”
“Not long after you left last time, within a few years, the life token left by Bai Yi, the Master of Yue Tian Island, shattered.”
“Upon the death of the Island Master of Yue Tian Island, his subordinates began to fight among themselves, each wanting to take sole control of Yue Tian Island,”
“This time, a Nascent Soul Island Master from a medium-sized island near Yuxing Island also wanted to get involved, so he reached out to Zhang Jian and several other Nascent Soul Cultivators in the nearby waters, looking to form an alliance with us to occupy Yue Tian Island together.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing roughly understood what was going on and asked,
“What about True Dragon Island?”
“Why has no one taken over True Dragon Island?”
“True Dragon Island?”
“Could it be that Dragon Daoist has also met with trouble?”
Li Qingqing looked at Lin Jing with some astonishment.
Lin Jing nodded:
“The Island Master of True Dragon Island has been killed by me.”
“He probably didn’t leave behind a life token, so no one knows he’s dead.”
Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, both Li Qingqing and Ye Yun were shocked.
To be able to slay Dragon Daoist of the later stages of Divinity Transformation, Lin Jing’s cultivation must surely surpass that of Dragon Daoist.
“Master!”
“If you could slay Dragon Daoist, does that mean your cultivation has broken through Divinity Transformation to the Solidifying Body Realm?”
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“Yes, my cultivation is now at the Solidifying Body Stage.”
Hearing Lin Jing admit to his cultivation, Ye Yun was instantly taken aback.
?????.??
Having been close to Lin Jing all along, Ye Yun deeply felt the terrifying speed of Lin Jing’s cultivation progression.
In just a short amount of time, Lin Jing had broken through from the Golden Core Stage to the now Solidifying Body Stage.
Ye Yun thought that not even a top-tier Spiritual Root Cultivator, touted as a supreme genius, could have advanced more swiftly than his own master.
Lin Jing’s rapid progression naturally filled Ye Yun with immense joy.
However, Li Qingqing, amidst her shock, felt somewhat disheartened.
Li Qingqing’s dejection did not escape Lin Jing’s notice, and he knew why she felt this way.
The higher his cultivation, the greater the gap between him and Li Qingqing, and the widening gap was not a favorable development for Li Qingqing.
Nonetheless, Lin Jing did not comfort Li Qingqing.
Instead, he straightforwardly said to Li Qingqing:
“Qingqing…”
“What do you think about us taking over the three major islands?”
“Ah?”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Li Qingqing was initially stunned and paused for a moment.
Once she came to her senses, Li Qingqing looked at Lin Jing puzzled and asked:
“Are you serious?”
Lin Jing nodded, then replied,
“Now that the Island Masters of the three major islands are all dead, they have become masterless territories, and if we want to continue growing, we need larger islands with more resources.”
“Now is the best opportunity.”
“With the three Island Masters dead, there are scarcely any cultivators in the Thousand Islands Domain who have reached the stage of Divinity Transformation.”
“Since I have decided, I will certainly make preparations in advance.”
“Before leaving, I will cleanse the entire Thousand Islands Domain, and ask those threatening Divinity Transformation Cultivators to leave.”
“Once the Thousand Islands Domain is cleared, I will directly help your brother take over Wan Mo Island, and we will take over Yue Tian Island.”
“As for the remaining True Dragon Island, I initially wanted to let Zhang Jian take over, but given Zhang Jian’s cultivation, even if he occupies True Dragon Island, there’s a risk something unforeseen might happen.”
“After all, I cannot always be here in the Thousand Islands Domain.”
“For True Dragon Island, I want to contact the Yan Family from Spirit Rock Island and give True Dragon Island to them.”
“As I am in good standing with the Yan Family, giving them True Dragon Island, with the Yan Family elder stationed there, will ensure he looks out for you.”
“This way, even if I am not around, no one would dare make a move against you.”
After finishing, Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing and asked,
“Qingqing, what do you think?”
After pondering for a moment, Li Qingqing nodded and said,
“That would indeed be feasible.
I heard that the Yan Family elder has also advanced to the Solidifying Body Stage.
With him in charge, absolutely no one would dare to casually provoke the Yan Family elder.”
Looking at Li Qingqing seriously, Lin Jing stated:
“Qingqing!”
“Once everything here is settled, I will be leaving.”
“By then, all the affairs will be entirely in your hands.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t make you wait too long.”
“Once I resolve the matters in the Inner Sea, I will come back…”
