Chapter 335 Reaching the Heavenly Lotus Sect
Chapter 335 Reaching the Heavenly Lotus Sect
Wang Jian\'s journey with his group of five women, including Han Xifeng, Lady Zhuoran, Luo Qiu, Yao Niu, and Victoria, continued as they ventured through the Central Continent. Victoria\'s cultivation had been sealed to prevent any reckless actions on her part or attempts to escape. Wang Jian had made it a point to spend passionate nights with her, not just for his own pleasure but to help her familiarize to her new role of her life.
One night, as they lay entwined, Wang Jian whispered to Victoria, "You don\'t have to worry about your empire. Isabella is doing a fine job managing it. She\'s loyal to me, and I\'ve given her the necessary guidance."
Victoria felt a mix of concern and relief. She trusted Isabella\'s capabilities but couldn\'t help but worry about the challenges her empire might face in her absence. "I hope she\'s doing well," she replied with a sigh.
Finally, after weeks of travel, they arrived in the territory of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. Wang Jian and his group decided to seek refuge within the Heavenly Lotus Sect, a sect known for its exclusively female membership. However, this rule did not apply to Wang Jian, who was welcomed with open arms due to his friendly relationship with the sect\'s master, Fairy Qian Shui.
As they entered the Heavenly Lotus Sect, they were met with a breathtaking sight. The sect was nestled amidst lush gardens, and delicate lotus flowers bloomed in every direction. A sense of serenity hung in the air, despite the occasional giggles and laughter of the sect\'s disciples.
Fairy Qian Shui herself, a vision of ethereal beauty, descended from the skies to greet Wang Jian and his companions. Her long, flowing hair framed her delicate features, and her eyes sparkled with wisdom and grace. She extended a slender hand towards Wang Jian and said, "Welcome to the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Wang Jian. It\'s always a pleasure to have you here."
Wang Jian couldn\'t help but let his eyes wander, his gaze filled with desire as he took in the enchanting sight of the Heavenly Lotus Sect\'s disciples. "Fairy Qian Shui," he purred, his voice dripping with desire, "your sect is truly a paradise on earth. I\'m honored to be in the presence of such exquisite beauty."
Fairy Qian Shui chuckled, a musical sound that seemed to resonate with the tranquility of the surroundings. "You always know how to flatter, Wang Jian," she replied playfully. "But your words are too kind."
Han Xifeng, Lady Zhuoran, Luo Qiu, and Yao Niu exchanged knowing glances. They were well aware of Wang Jian\'s penchant for indulging in his desires, especially in the company of beautiful women.
Fairy Qian Shui led them deeper into the sect, her graceful movements like a dance. "You and your companions are welcome to stay as long as you wish," she offered. "Our sect is known for its tranquility, and I hope you find solace here."
Wang Jian, his eyes still lingering on the heavenly figures surrounding him, nodded appreciatively. "I\'m grateful for your hospitality, Fairy Qian Shui. Your sect is indeed a haven of tranquility."
Amidst the serene beauty of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Wang Jian engaged in a conversation with Fairy Qian Shui. His eyes, though filled with desire, were attentive as she spoke of the recent troubles within the Central Region.
"Things have been far from peaceful in the Central Region," Fairy Qian Shui began, her expression grave. "The Ten Great Sects, including my Heavenly Lotus Sect, are facing a significant threat. Various races are launching attacks, targeting the Earth Veins that provide the foundation of our Immortal Dominions. As a result, the Immortal Dominions are weakening, and to maintain the flow of Immortal Qi, the Spirit of the Immortal Dominions has been forced to reduce their size. This, in turn, is shrinking the territories of the Ten Great Sects."
Wang Jian\'s brows furrowed as he processed this information. "The Earth Veins are under attack? And the Immortal Dominions are shrinking? This is a serious matter."
Fairy Qian Shui nodded solemnly. "Indeed, it is. The balance of power is shifting, and we face challenges we haven\'t encountered before. Maintaining the strength of our sects is becoming increasingly difficult."
Wang Jian then shifted the conversation to his own empire, seeking information on its current state.
Fairy Qian Shui hesitated for a moment, her gaze troubled. "The Barbarian Race\'s attacks on the Empires have ceased," she began. "However, a new threat has emerged. Sea Monsters have started infiltrating the Southern Region, causing havoc and destruction. Even more concerning is the appearance of a group of rebellious humans, all wielding Emperor Realm cultivation, who are aiding the Sea Monsters."
Wang Jian\'s eyes narrowed as he absorbed this alarming information. "Emperor Realm cultivators among the humans?" he murmured, his mind racing. "That\'s a formidable force. Do you have any idea who these individuals are?"
Fairy Qian Shui shook her head. "Their identities remain a mystery, but they are organized and powerful. It\'s a complex situation, and the Southern Region is in turmoil."
As Wang Jian contemplated the challenges that lay ahead, he couldn\'t help but feel a growing sense of urgency. The fate of his Empire, as well as the stability of the Central Region, hung in the balance.
"I was thinking of staying here for some time," Wang Jian began, his voice tinged with reluctance, "but it seems that I must return quickly."
Fairy Qian Shui, perceptive and wise, remained silent, allowing the weight of his words to hang in the air. In truth, she shared his sentiments.
Breaking the silence, he turned to Fairy Qian Shui and asked, "What\'s the current situation with the devils?"
He was aware that obtaining information directly from the leaders of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan or the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan would provide more comprehensive insights. However, he chose to start with Fairy Qian Shui, valuing her perspective.
Fairy Qian Shui\'s expression turned solemn as she relayed the unsettling news. "The four Great Devil Clans have adopted an unusually low profile during this chaotic period," she replied, her tone reflecting her concern.
Wang Jian\'s eyebrows shot up in surprise. The Great Devil Clans were notorious for their aggressiveness and dominance in their domains. Their sudden reticence raised significant questions.
He pressed for more details, "Low-key? That\'s rather unlike them. Do you have any insights into their motives or what they might be planning?"
Fairy Qian Shui shook her head, her gaze distant as if searching for answers in the skies above. "It\'s a perplexing situation. They are typically ruthless and ambitious, so their current behavior is baffling. It\'s possible they\'re biding their time or assessing the threats posed by external forces."
Wang Jian nodded, absorbing the information. "I can\'t afford to dismiss the devils as a potential threat. If they\'re withholding their power, it might be a precursor to something significant. I need to stay vigilant."
Fairy Qian Shui acknowledged his resolve, her voice filled with support, "Your caution is well-placed, Wang Jian."
After discussing the concerning situation with the devils, Wang Jian turned his attention to a more diplomatic proposal. "Fairy Qian Shui," he began, "I believe it would be beneficial for the Heavenly Lotus Sect and my Everlasting Mystical Empire to establish a formal alliance. This would provide mutual support during these turbulent times."
Fairy Qian Shui considered his suggestion thoughtfully. The alliance could indeed bolster their respective strengths and safeguard their territories. After a brief moment of reflection, she nodded in agreement. "You\'re right, Wang Jian. An alliance would be in our best interest."
Wang Jian then outlined his proposal, "I suggest sending an elder from the Heavenly Lotus Sect to the Everlasting Mystical Empire to officially cement our alliance. This representative will not only strengthen our ties but also serve as a symbol of our commitment to one another."
Fairy Qian Shui contemplated the idea before responding, "I agree with your proposal. We should choose a trustworthy elder to represent our sect."
The one chosen for this crucial mission was none other than Fairy Zhi Luan, a respected elder known for her wisdom and diplomacy. Her experience and dedication made her the perfect choice for this delicate task.
When Wang Jian was informed about the selection, he welcomed Fairy Zhi Luan with an air of anticipation. The prospect of forging an alliance between the Everlasting Mystical Empire and the Heavenly Lotus Sect excited him.
In a meeting held within the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Wang Jian and Fairy Zhi Luan discussed the mission and its significance. The elder was eager to represent her sect and fulfill this crucial role. "I will do everything in my power to ensure the success of this alliance," she assured Wang Jian.
Wang Jian expressed his gratitude for her commitment. "Fairy Zhi Luan, your presence will not only strengthen the ties between our realms but also bring prosperity and security to both our domains."
Fairy Zhi Luan responded with a blush, "Thank you for your kind words, Emperor Wang."
