Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 513: Chapter 280: Taking Control of 5 Sea Regions (3)

Tang Qiu Yao snuggled closer, her voluptuous, snow-white body pressing into Ling Changqing’s embrace as she spoke in a soft voice:

"More and more sisters in the family are advancing to become Nascent Soul True Monarchs. The Fourth grade Spirit Vein Cave Mansions on Li Long Continent are limited, and soon there won’t be enough to go around! If we don’t start planning now, it will be a huge hassle later."

Li Long Continent had fewer than twenty Fourth grade Spirit Vein Cave Mansions. A number of other cave mansions had also been built on the other large islands with Grade Four Spirit Veins, so for the moment, there were still enough.

However, Ling Changqing was now a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so the Dao Companions who practiced Dual Cultivation with him would naturally progress much faster. It wouldn’t be long before even more Nascent Soul True Monarchs emerged.

Therefore, in Tang Qiu Yao’s opinion, since they would have to relocate sooner or later, it was better to start making arrangements now.

"Hmm, you have a point, my dear."

After a moment of thought, Ling Changqing turned and asked Cen Xuyi, "Gui Qing, what’s the situation in the Guiqing and Dragon Horn sea regions?"

Cen Xuyi, who was massaging his legs, lifted her head and replied in a gentle voice:

"The conditions in those two sea regions are comparable to the Chixue Sea Region, but they’re still somewhat inferior to our own Linsha Sea Region.

It’s not even easy to find a territory with better conditions in the vicinity of the Linsha Sea Region!"

The implication was clear: the Linsha Sea Region was truly the most suitable foundation for the Ling Family, and it would remain so for nearly a century to come.

Among the dozens of sea regions in the coastal waters of Yuzhou, there were indeed places with better conditions than the Linsha Sea Region, but they were relatively distant and, for the time being, beyond the Ling Family’s reach.

Ling Changqing pondered for a moment before finally saying, "In that case, let’s run it by Sister Yue. If she has no objections, we’ll consider the matter settled."

"Alright, I’ll contact Sister Yue right now."

Qin Yun pushed her languid body upright and said with a bright smile.

In the interval it took for her to get out of bed and activate the Communication Jade Talisman, Tang Qiu Yao pulled Ling Changqing to her again, initiating a new round of cultivation.

A moment later, Ling Qiyue sent back an affirmative reply. A new plan for relocating the family’s main base would soon be drawn up.

Linsha Continent was nearly twice the size of Li Long Continent. The island not only possessed a Rank Four High grade Spirit Vein but also had over thirty locations suitable for building Fourth grade Spirit Vein Cave Mansions and more than two hundred for Third stage Spiritual Vein Cave Mansions.

In the future, all these Cave Mansion Halls could be assigned to the Dao Companions in Ling Changqing’s harem. Moreover, other large islands in the Linsha Sea Region also had Grade Four Spirit Veins that could be put to good use.

Another benefit was that a Rank Four High grade Spirit Vein would serve as the foundation to build an even more powerful family Protective Array, which would further add to the family’s underlying strength.

And so, the matter was settled.

「A month later」

Once the handover of the Linsha Sea Region was complete and all affairs were running smoothly, Ling Changqing departed with the women for the Guiqing Sea Region.

Ling Qiyue had also managed to dispatch one thousand Ling Family disciples, who, along with two thousand slave Cultivators from the Cen Family, traveled with the fleet.

After the death of Shen Tu Ji Yun, the remaining forces in the Guiqing Sea Region had fractured into more than a dozen factions of varying sizes, each with its own contingent of Core Formation Cultivators.

These factions bickered endlessly over who would become the new leader, nearly coming to blows, but they failed to reach any conclusion before Ling Changqing’s fleet of Tianzhou Skyboats arrived.

The outcome was predictable. Ling Changqing acted decisively, executing the six most belligerent Golden Core Masters. The remaining Core Formation Cultivators immediately backed down.

Afterward, Bai Qingyi and the other women helped restrain all of the Cultivators—from Core Formation and Foundation Establishment down to the Late-Middle stages of Qi Cultivation. They seized control of their Divine Souls and physical bodies, thereby reducing them to slaves.

With the forced cooperation of these slave Cultivators, the situation in the Guiqing Sea Region was stabilized in just over a month.

Then, Ling Changqing repeated the same process, taking five hundred Ling Family disciples and three thousand slave Cultivators from the Guiqing Sea Region to the Dragon Horn Sea Region.

This operation went just as smoothly. After executing the handful of ringleaders, the remaining Core Formation Cultivators chose to submit. Once again, the women shackled their Divine Souls and bodies, reducing them to slaves.

And with that, the Ling Family instantly became a power that controlled five entire sea regions.
