A few days later.
Chen Shuangbai returns to Swan Immortal Market.
Perhaps because Bai Nianyuan had made arrangements, he received VIP treatment in Swan Immortal Market and stayed in a courtyard with an excellent environment.
Inside the courtyard.
Chen Shuangbai took out the silver foil page that she had obtained from Bai Nianyuan.
The radiance of the [ Six Directions Primordial Light Formation ] shone brightly, shrouding the entire courtyard.
Although the effectiveness of this formation is only so-so, it can still provide some concealment.
To the naked eye, the silver foil pages appear to have small, raised particles on them; only when examined with Divine Sense can one vaguely discern traces of bird-script characters.
Chen Shuangbai was about to ask the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] to help him "see clearly" what was recorded on the silver foil pages when he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
"I was a bit careless..."
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Shuangbai's guard had been lowered considerably due to the smooth progress of his cultivation over the years.
The fact that Swan Immortal Market can remain peacefully here suggests that the island cannot only be governed by Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators; there must be at least Golden Core True Person or Golden Core demon...
Chen Shuangbai remained calm, glancing at the silver foil pages a few times with feigned interest before putting them away with a regretful expression. He then took out the Shell Pearl and began his cultivation for the day.
Over the next few days, Chen Shuangbai thoroughly explored the celestial market and purchased some local specialties from the sea, which she then distributed to her fellow disciples and her master upon returning home.
Here, Chen Shuangbai spotted a type of sea creature that was quite suitable for transportation, capable of surviving in both fresh and seawater. He bought six of them, intending to send them to his Lineage when he returned.
That day.
The sky was clear and the air was fresh.
Bai Nianyuan looked at Chen Shuangbai with a hint of reluctance and said sincerely, "Brother Chen, are you really not going to stay a few more days?"
"My family has some influence in this area, so I can do my part as a host."
Chen Shuangbai shook her head and replied, "We shouldn't stay any longer. We've been away from the sect for quite some time now, and it's time to go back and visit our relatives, friends, and master."
Upon hearing Bai Nianyuan watched as Chen Shuangbai transformed into a streak of light and departed.
After leaving Swan Immortal Market, Chen Shuangbai flew back along the same route he had come from.
After determining the area of Swan Immortal Market, he randomly found a deserted island, used [ Mirage Illusory Scene ] to summon water vapor, and plunged the entire island into an illusion.
He then set up the [ Six Directions Primordial Light Formation ], which put him at ease. He then took out the silver foil book again.
With a thought, Chen Shuangbai felt a beam of the Unseen projected from the bright moon in his sea of consciousness, illuminating the silver foil pages and imprinting their contents back into his sea of consciousness.
[ Profound Yin Soul-Slaying Thorn ].
Chen Shuangbai thought to herself, "As expected, it's another offensive technique."
He studied the technique thoroughly and clicked his tongue in amazement.
This is a technique that specializes in attacking the soul. It is based on the Yin energy that accumulates in a certain type of earth vein and is honed to eventually become an invisible thorn of the soul. It can directly attack the source of the opponent's soul. At best, it will cause the soul to tremble and the Law Power to go out of control. At worst, it will directly annihilate the soul and kill the person invisibly!
It is truly insidious and ruthless, and impossible to guard against.
But Chen Shuangbai looked at it carefully several more times, and indeed it was somewhat similar to the problem she had encountered before.
"Similar to the problem with [ Cold Baleful Intent Yin Thunder ], the cultivation process alone requires extreme caution; a single misstep can easily damage one's foundation... Indeed, the Dao Fruit is needed to intervene."
Chen Shuangbai took the small golden censer hanging from her waist, put a fragrant pill inside, and lit it remotely. Soon, wisps of fragrance rose, making the entire cave chamber hazy.
Amidst the fragrance, Chen Shuangbai's mind gradually calmed down, and she offered a prayer:
[I humbly request the Grand Yin ) to use this technique as a foundation to evolve techniques that align with my Dao.]
The bright moon hanging high in the sea of consciousness hummed, and the moonlight it cast suddenly became a few degrees brighter. After an unknown amount of time, the moonlight gradually faded.
The silver foil page in front of Chen Shuangbai disappeared, replaced by a completely new offensive technique, imprinted in his mind, named [ Lesser Yin Spirit-Slashing Saber ].
Chen Shuangbai reviewed the offensive technique. The original harmful and self-defeating aspects had been removed, replaced by a brand-new offensive technique suitable for his practice.
"What a fine ' Lesser Yin Spirit-Slashing Saber '! It specializes in attacking the soul and strikes unexpectedly, which can make up for the weakness of my relatively limited offensive methods."
After reading through this offensive technique, Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but praise it.
This technique requires Chen Shuangbai to visualize the Grand Yin Great Yin) and comprehend the meaning of Grand Yin's extinction. Over time, he will accumulate a breath of Shaoyin's extinction energy in his Dantian.
This blade is neither gold nor iron, formless and without substance. It is based on the spirit and uses intention as its blade. When this technique is used, it is as swift as moonlight pouring down. It can ignore most physical and Law Power defenses and directly attack the very essence of the soul.
Aside from the few Spirit Artifact she possesses, Chen Shuangbai's current methods of protection consist of only three: swordsmanship, Yin Lightning, and wind magic.
The rest of the Law Technique or Secret Method are all auxiliary.
"Now that I possess this [ Lesser Yin Spirit-Slashing Saber ], it will surely be effective in catching those with extremely strong physical bodies off guard in the future."
"There's no time to lose. Let's take advantage of this secluded island to refine the initial form of this sword intent, which will provide an extra layer of protection."
Although he was eager to return home, Chen Shuangbai felt that having another skill was more important.
Several more days passed.
Chen Shuangbai sat at the highest point on the island, using his mind to perceive the moon hanging in the sky. He abandoned all distracting thoughts, concentrated his mind, and visualized that the moon in the sky was not a full moon, but a cold crescent moon.
If the full moon represents harmonious love, then the crescent moon represents malevolent malice.
A crescent moon hangs alone in the sky, its light hazy and indistinct, with a blurred black border at its edge, like a sinister eye looking down upon the world. Wherever it passes, life is suppressed, noise falls silent, and only a cold and desolate atmosphere remains.
This is the meaning of Lesser Yin.
This is a process in which the Grand Yin) transitions from its peak to its decline, with vitality hidden within and its sharpness concealed.
Chen Shuangbai visualized the crescent moon.
He was imitating and experiencing this wisp of "Lesser Yin" artistic conception.
This is an extremely difficult task.
But for him, it was quite easy and pleasant to find that wisp of artistic conception and imprint it in his sea of consciousness.
Gradually.
Chen Shuangbai's Divine Sense began to undergo subtle changes.
A trace of cold, sharp, and seemingly soul-severing "intention" was captured from nothingness and left a mark in his sea of consciousness. This trace was repeated again and again, with each mark overlapping the previous one, condensing into an invisible sword intent.
At a certain moment.
Chen Shuangbai awoke from her reverie, her eyes no longer holding their usual gentle and peaceful light; instead, a faint crescent moon seemed to flash by.
