Three years of unrest, battle without end; a breakthrough achieved, moonlight shines bright
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past three years, the domestic and international situation has undergone tremendous changes.
The Transformation Sect's offensive in Ning Country became increasingly fierce. Although Ding Chengyu's Jade Spring Sect forces tried their best to maneuver, they still seemed somewhat powerless against the main force of the Transformation Sect.
Among the Three Sects of Ning Country, the weakest, Azure Wave Cave, had its mountain gate breached, leaving only Spirit Taming Sect and Blazing Sun Mountain struggling to hold on, but they were also in dire straits.
It is worth mentioning that the Floating Light Sect on Great Arrival Island the mouth of Ning Country also joined the battle.
Only after the Floating Light Sect joined did they barely manage to retain half of their territory.
As for the Transformation Sect...
The aura of that Nascent Soul Sect Master appeared and disappeared intermittently, but he always maintained restraint, seemingly wary of the Spirit Treasure [ Five Virtues Water Fortune Mystic Gui ] held by Ding Chengyu, or perhaps wary of the Jade Spring Sect attack on his rear base.
The Transformation Sect remains incredibly powerful and aggressive.
Day by day, they are eroding the soil of Ning Country.
Although the situation within the Jing Kingdom is relatively stable for the time being, the shadow of war is gradually approaching.
On this day, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Jade Screen Peak!
The aura surged forth from the Jade Gauze Cave like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire Jade Screen Peak, and even affecting several nearby peaks within a radius of several miles.
The wild beasts Demon Beast in the mountains all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, as if paying homage to a newly born king.
The Mystic Sea Avatar, who was cultivating by the cold pool, raised his head and looked up at the sky. A hint of surprise flashed in his deep blue eyes.
A streak of light with a golden edge and a white background shot out from the mountain, soaring into the sky and transforming into a magnificent, snow-white eagle with a wingspan of tens of feet.
This giant eagle is pure white, with silvery plumage. It wears a magnificent feathered crown with a ring of dazzling gold trim around its head. Under the sunlight, it shimmers and sparkles, as if it were wearing a feathered robe woven from moonlight and dawn.
Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sun. With each flap, it stirs up an extremely cold Cold Wind, scattering the clouds and mist in the mountains and covering the flowers, grasses and trees with a layer of cold frost.
It was Feiguang!
Having cultivated on Jade Screen Peak for many years, and with Chen Shuangbai frequently cleansing its bloodline with the power of moonlight, coupled with the many elixirs and medicines it had consumed over the years, it finally broke through the last barrier of the Foundation Establishment Realm on this day, stepping into the realm of Foundation Establishment Perfection!
He's only one step away from reaching the Golden Core!
The Feiguang circled several times in the sky, emitting clear and melodious cries, filled with joy and pride.
Before long, he concealed his demonic form, transforming back into a young man clad in a white robe with gold trim and a feathered crown. He landed before Mystic Sea Avatar and said, "Second Master!"
Because Mystic Sea Avatar is Chen Shuangbai's external avatar, and Feiguang is Chen Shuangbai's contracted spirit beast, Mystic Sea Avatar is referred to as the Second Master.
This isn't meant to be difficult; it's a sincere gesture.
In recent years, Chen Shuangbai has been in seclusion, and all matters on the peak and within the sect that involve Chen Shuangbai have been handled by Mystic Sea Avatar.
She not only taught Chen Shuangbai's disciples, but also guided Feiguang and Changming in their cultivation. Even the lazy and uncultivation-disliked Gray Ball was successfully guided by her to break through to the Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, she was able to steal a moment from her busy schedule to study the Dao of Alchemy of Chen Shuangbai, the original body, and has now officially entered the field, becoming a first-level Alchemist.
Many of the first-tier pills on the peak were her test subjects!
Mystic Sea Avatar smiled gently, and with a flick of her hand, a pill appeared before Feiguang. She said softly, "Take this; it will help you nourish your demonic body and stabilize your cultivation level."
Feiguang, unsuspecting, swallowed it whole and prepared to return to refine it.
It was at this time.
A powerful aura rose from the Moon-Gazing Pavilion.
Mystic Sea Avatar looked over and saw Feiguang's joyful expression, then whispered, "My true form is about to emerge from seclusion."
Inside the Moon-Gazing Pavilion.
Chen Shuangbai sat cross-legged, releasing his magical Law Power, which was like smoke and mist, filling the entire room. A halo rose behind his head, bright and clear, like the moon in the sky, with a bluish-green watery light at the edge, making him look even more like a celestial being from the moon palace.
A thick layer of powder had accumulated on the ground, which was the residue left over from the countless spiritual resources he had refined over the past three years. At this moment, Chen Shuangbai's eyebrows shone Great Yin Primal Light, and the Taiyin Yuanguang behind his head was like a full moon, enveloping the entire room in a cool and holy radiance.
Not long after.
Suddenly, there was a slight inhalation in the room, and then all the Law Power in the room, like smoke and clouds, surged into Chen Shuangbai, fell into his Dantian, and returned to the perfect [ Lunar Rites Golden Core ].
The smoky, misty magical Law Power inside was swallowed by Chen Shuangbai whale, and the entire Moon-Gazing Pavilion instantly returned to clarity.
However, the aura that had just subsided did not subside. Instead, after a brief period of brewing, it suddenly erupted like a sleeping dragon awakening!
A faint, almost imperceptible hum emanated from Chen Shuangbai's body, like celestial music from the moon palace, or perhaps the divine pronouncements of the Great Dao.
The Great Yin Primal Light behind his head suddenly expanded at this moment, transforming into a huge bright moon with a diameter of about ten feet, which hovered behind him.
Within that bright moon, one could faintly see the waters of the Azure Sea gathering to form a mysterious pool, beside which stood jade trees and golden flowers, a jade rabbit pounding medicine, and a white toad playing in the water... and other symbols of the moon palace. There was even a faintly visible Guanghan Palace emerging in the depths of the bright moonlight!
Chen Shuangbai slowly opened her eyes.
His pupils had now turned into a pure silver-white, as if two bright moons were slowly rotating within them.
Wherever his gaze fell, the void itself seemed to distort slightly, as if unable to withstand the penetrating power that pierced the very soul.
Middle Golden Core Stage...
There was a sound inside, so I spoke softly.
Chen Shuangbai stood up and saw the pavilion door wide open without a breeze. Mystic Sea Avatar and Feiguang stood in front of the door, their gazes falling on him. Then they both cupped their hands in congratulations, "Congratulations on your breakthrough."
Chen Shuangbai smiled, and then all the strange phenomena dissipated one after another, and the pavilion returned to its former tranquility.
"It was just a natural progression; I wouldn't call it congratulations."
Mystic Sea Avatar, smiled gently and said, " The Middle Golden Core Stage is different from the Early Golden Core Stage. And with me having cultivated the [ Golden Scripture of Heavenly One Generating Water ], even two Junyu wouldn't be enough for you to kill."
Chen Shuangbai curiously examined her avatar and said, "I feel that you've become much more lively since this period of seclusion."
Mystic Sea Avatar smiled and waved his sleeve, neither refuting nor admitting anything.
Chen Shuangbai didn't dwell on it too much. She looked at Feiguang and, seeing that he had also successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection, said happily, "Not bad, it's about time!"
"Where are Fuguang and the others?"
Mystic Sea Avatar replied, "The three of them broke the illusion you created two years ago and went down the mountain to train as instructed. They haven't returned yet."
