Chapter 627: Chapter 356: Ascension of the Sea Domain, Array of Immortal Islands

As the saying goes, "The ocean and sky are one in color."

The ocean and the sky always have a mystical connection, especially in many myths and legends.

Anything that has been passed down through the ages must have some truth to it.

For example, right now—

The one hundred thousand acres of sea that Li Ye has cordoned off is rising with ethereal and misty sea Qi, flowing from the sea to the sky, forging a connection between the two.

From the sea to the sky, this is Ascension.

For many spiritual objects in the sea, water is actually a limitation, just as cultivators always dream of freely soaring in the sky. To "escape" water would be a significant evolution.

The key to evolution is in...

"Roar!"

Suddenly, several dragons, transformed through the Dragon Pool, flew up from the sea, directly heading toward the sky, breathing out spiritual power that began to spread around, triggering the fusion of cloud Qi and sea Qi.

In an instant, the entire sea area was enveloped by the rising spiritual Qi.

Many spirit fish seemed to sense something and tried to leap out of the water, eager to soar in the air—this was the greatest opportunity for these intelligent fish as the spiritual Qi was merging.

Brave fish always get to enjoy the world first.

Especially now at this pivotal moment, even a pig could fly up.

In any case.

When the brave fish can freely fly in the sky, just like swimming in the water, it signifies the first step of Ascension has been completed.

The sea and sky are connected.

It was at this moment.

The leader of the ten Nascent Soul dragons left here by Ao Kong, a dragon named Ao Qing, raised his head: "Since this place has already detached from the Tao Furnace Realm, can it connect with the Hanging Sea?"

He seemed to be asking someone.

The answer came after half an incense stick’s time:

"You should ask Li Ye if he is willing to connect this place with the Ten Thousand Realms Instrument of the Hanging Sea. Once connected, the Dragon Clan from the Hanging Sea can come here for training and rest."

"Though true dragons are few, there are many children with dragon blood."

"Those children are all full of vitality. Although they might not cause trouble, there is still the issue of food, drink, entertainment, and the necessary magical treasures."

—This was Ao Kong’s voice.

The Hanging Sea is a sanctuary for the Dragon Clan and an extremely rare Ten Thousand Realms Grotto Heaven, naturally capable of establishing connections with multiple worlds. For this reason, the Dragon Clan interacts with many worlds.

The Dragon Clan, after all.

To put it bluntly, even their urine is precious.

So, many factions are willing to have a connection with them, although most are below the Hanging Sea, much like people from the Upper Realm going to the lower realms.

As a result, when the Dragon Clan visits such places, they often indulge in wanton behavior despite leaving behind treasures, leading to inequality.

But if Li Ye is willing, it would be a different story.

The Hanging Sea is below the Four Seasons Sect, let alone the Tao Furnace Realm.

Based on Li Ye’s construction efforts here, it’s likely many young dragons would be willing to build villas and nests here, and some unique species of the Dragon Clan would gradually enter, presenting a win-win situation.

Ordinarily, such an opportunity would be initiated by the other side, with the Dragon Clan conducting the assessment, but people are different after all. At this moment, Ao Qing’s concern is whether Li Ye is willing.

After all, the spiritual power here...

With this thought, Ao Qing prepared to take action.

He intended to bring this matter up as soon as Li Ye came out.

...

But Li Ye was currently in a dilemma.

To be precise, he was uncertain about whether to proceed with this decision—

He was watching the clumps of cloud fog in front of him.

These cloud fogs were a fusion of sea Qi and the clear Qi of the Heavenly Dome. With a little processing, they could transform into floating islands in the sky, cascading waterfalls or flowing clear springs.

Such floating islands are natural fertile grounds, capable of nurturing many spiritual objects born from both sea and sky, while also maintaining this place’s "Water Spirit" characteristic.

However...

"What array should I use to construct it?"

Li Ye began using his lifebound magical treasure, the Sun and Moon Ring, to derive the construction, but that thing drained Spirit Stones at an alarming rate, making it unsustainable.

Therefore, he was torn.

According to the experiences of the predecessors in the Four Seasons Sect, there are three common arrays to choose from for such a sea and sky Ascension—

The first is called the "Three Immortal Islands Array."

This involves mimicking the characteristics of the most famous three immortal islands—Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou—consolidating the largest three islands to anchor the intersection of heaven and sea, immortals and humans.

The second is the "Five Immortal Islands Array."

Besides Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang, this also includes Dayu and Yuanjiao, the two older celestial island prototypes. The existence of the Five Immortal Islands naturally aligns more with the mystery of heaven and earth; five represents completeness and wholeness.

The last one is the "All Immortal Islands Array."

This builds upon the five immortal islands by adding numerous smaller celestial islands, much like stars surrounding the moon, scattered throughout the sea, completing the process of transforming the entire sea area with immortal power.

According to Li Ye’s thinking, more is better. If he had a choice, he would select the best "All Immortal Islands Array" to construct this sea region at once.

But building the All Immortal Islands Array is no simple feat; those vast "islands" like stars require spiritual Qi, as well as the presence of "immortal Qi" to stabilize them.

By injecting personal spiritual power into the islands, they are firmly established as the root of "immortality."
