Chen Shuangbai didn't move, but quietly watched those people rush in.
Yuan Sheng and Yue You did not move either.
One of them had originally come to find a spiritual water, and now that he had succeeded, although it wasn't what he had originally expected, it was still usable, so he wasn't so greedy for other treasures.
Yue You is even simpler.
He had only recently achieved the Golden Core stage, and now he was snatching food from the mouths of several Golden Core demon kings. It was best for him to keep a low profile to avoid becoming the target of everyone's attacks.
Chen Shuangbai watched them rush in quietly. After most of the people had left, she looked around and saw that there were still a few people who hadn't rushed in.
Among them was Du Taixuan of the Fuluo Sect...
To his slight surprise, the cowardly Daoist Xuanqing didn't rush in with him. Instead, he huddled in a corner, flattering an unknown Golden Core True Person.
Chen Shuangbai's eyes flickered, and seeing that most of the people had left, she leisurely entered the palace.
After passing through a dazzling white light, the world had changed.
"I never expected that there would be such a small world within this hall."
Yue You remarked with emotion.
But what lay before them was not the familiar palace space, but an immense expanse, with five or six palaces nestled in the clouds, mountains, and water. Some people had already entered it, and they witnessed streaks of spiritual light colliding.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at Heiming Gu Du, who seemed to notice and nodded secretly.
Chen Shuangbai, having already made up his mind, raised his hand and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yuan Sheng and Yue You, saying, "I have something I need to find. If you two also have something you seek..."
Yue You and Yuan Sheng immediately realized that this Jade Spring Dao Child probably had his own ideas.
The two tactfully traveled together to a secluded corner of the hall, clearly not wanting to get involved in the fiercest battles.
After the two left.
Chen Shuangbai then withdrew his gaze and looked at the Heiming Gu Du, which nodded and pointed to a certain place.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Outside the palace?"
Heiming Gu Du nodded.
A moment later.
Chen Shuangbai led the Heiming Gu Du out of the Cavern Abyss Palace, chose a due north direction, and flew all the way until they finally arrived at the bottom of an extremely hidden cliff.
This cliff is located directly north of the Cavern Abyss Palace, hidden by a dense patch of Spirit Plant. If it weren't for the guidance of Heiming Gu Du, Chen Shuangbai would hardly have noticed this place.
At the bottom of the cliff, there is a narrow crevice, just wide enough for one person to pass sideways. The wind howls faintly from the depths of the crevice, as if leading to another world.
"Is this the place?"
Chen Shuangbai stared at the crack, her eyes flickering slightly.
The Heiming Gu Du nodded emphatically.
According to the prophecy of [ Dream-Born Butterfly ], the place where that Spirit Embryo resides is entered from here.
Seeing him nod in confirmation, Chen Shuangbai stepped forward, dispelled the outer barrier, and then pulled Heiming Gu Du into it. But as soon as they took a step inside, a flash of spiritual light appeared under their feet, and when they opened their eyes again, they had been teleported to a palace.
Before Chen Shuangbai could even properly examine the place, his eyes were immediately drawn to the vast, overlapping blue light in the very center, causing him to involuntarily lower his gaze, his eyes stinging.
In the very center of the hall stood a jade platform, upon which sat a jade urn, overflowing with a liquid as clear as dew or ointment. Above the liquid hung a lifelike, azure-blue infant, shimmering with a blue halo, its form seemingly sculpted by a master craftsman of astonishing skill.
" Spirit Embryo!"
Although she had never seen it before, Chen Shuangbai recognized it after seeing it in person.
Heiming Gu Du lowered his eyes, tears of blood streaming down them, clearly indicating that looking directly at the Spirit Embryo had caused him considerable harm.
Seeing this, Chen Shuangbai reached out and touched him. A few shimmering emerald lights appeared, and with a flowing halo, his bloodied eyes were completely healed. She said:
"This Spirit Embryo has been gestating here for who knows how long, and its level is comparable to that of Golden Core True Person... Do not look directly at it."
Heiming Gu Du thought to himself, "That was close!" Hearing Chen Shuangbai say this, he responded in a low voice and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Chen Shuangbai lifted his foot, about to walk towards the Spirit Embryo, when suddenly his heart skipped a beat. As if he had seen something, he turned around and looked in a certain direction, softly saying, "Since you have such ability to secretly follow me, you must also have some desire for this Spirit Embryo."
"Stop hiding, I see you."
Within his Dantian, the [ Lunar Rites Golden Core ] slowly rotated, and a mysterious power was added to Chen Shuangbai's eyes, making the [ Jade Palace Bright Abyss True Pupils ] even more wondrous in its ability to reveal true forms, easily illuminating a person standing in the darkness not far away.
Oh no, to be precise, it should be a demon.
Seeing that his form had been exposed, the demon king no longer hid. A faint halo appeared in the darkness, first a white skirt, and then a demon king with a slightly long face, narrow eyes, and a faint halo around him, like a pearl reflecting the light of the sky, with an icy blue light flashing in his eyes.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing the man's identity.
"I never expected that the Master of Treasure Light Cave would come in person!"
Upon hearing this, the white-robed demon king smiled faintly and slowly stepped out of the shadows.
Her steps were light and graceful; each step seemed to tread on water, creating visible ripples of light.
Those long, narrow eyes were now scrutinizing Chen Shuangbai with great interest, their gaze carrying a mixture of admiration and scrutiny.
"I've long heard that the sects within the realm have well-established lineages and produce countless masters, but I never expected... that someone Early Golden Core Stage as you could see through the illusion of a Late Golden Core Stage demon king like myself."
"Is it a pupil Divine Ability?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled slightly, looking at the white-robed demon king, and the image of the Master of Treasure Light Cave began to surface in her mind—
Treasure Light Cave is the base camp of the marine clam clan, where many kinds of clam gather.
According to information from various black markets at sea and rumors among Golden Core cultivators, the Master of Treasure Light Cave is named Sui Qiuyu. He is a cultivator who attained enlightenment through Autumn Jing Black Clam. He is skilled in water magic and illusion techniques, and is also lewd. He has many male lovers, numerous offspring in the cave, and is very powerful. He has raised Treasure Light Cave from the bottom of the Sixteen Demon Caves to its current level, which is almost above average.
This also allows the Demon Cultivator of Treasure Light Cave to stand tall when they travel at sea.
Chen Shuangbai simply smiled, clearly not wanting to reveal the extent of his Divine Ability powers to this demon king in the Late Golden Core Stage.
"How did the cave master come with me?"
The Autumn Jing Demon King chuckled softly, his laughter sweet and clear, unlike that of a centuries-old clam. It sounded more like a shy young girl, the frost on his face seemingly melting away to reveal a hint of girlish bashfulness. He slowly spoke:
"You carry the precious pearl I crafted years ago... and you still ask me how I got here?"
Chen Shuangbai's heart sank slightly.
He hadn't expected that even though he had refined the precious pearl, this Golden Core Demon King could still lock onto his aura.
But there was no surprise on his face; he simply said, "I see... I was careless."
