Azure Light Refracts Through Pillars, a Thousand Peaks in Chaos; Outsiders from Three Sects Enter the Grotto-Heaven
Buzz buzz buzz!
As far as the eye could see, all the stone pillars began to rotate, and the patterns and incantations on the pillars emitted a dazzling light. Brilliant beams of blue light shot out from them, shooting in all directions, only to be refracted again upon contact with another stone pillar.
What was originally just a single beam of light refracted continuously among the hundreds of stone pillars. In just a few breaths, hundreds of beams of azure light intertwined and shone, like hundreds of blue birds flitting among them.
Changming warned warily, "My lord, be careful!"
Chen Shuangbai's head was adorned with the [ Swaying Moon Sunken Cold Treasure Mirror ], which released a phantom image of a celestial osmanthus to protect her. Layers upon layers of delicate golden stamens protected her from the outside, but gradually, with each refraction of the azure light, the power reflected back grew stronger and stronger.
The mysteries of the [ Swaying Moon Sunken Cold Treasure Mirror ] have been proven; even amidst the red and gold winds that eroded the spirituality of Law Treasure, it suffered little damage.
But soon, Chen Shuangbai realized something was amiss.
He discovered that even his Divine Sense was being eroded by this blue light.
"In other words, this azure light not only causes considerable damage to a cultivator's physical body, but also erodes their Divine Sense..."
Chen Shuangbai narrowed her eyes slightly, released her Divine Sense, and let it fall into the sky full of azure light.
In no time, it was completely worn away.
"Just as I suspected... But how do we unravel this transformation? Or perhaps the key lies within this sky full of azure light?"
Hundreds of stone pillars rotated, refracting layers of blue light within them, and Chen Shuangbai carefully moved forward among them.
Before long, he sighed slightly, then put the Great Yin Precious Mirror away again. He then activated his sword technique, transforming into a sword rainbow that weaved through the woven azure light.
Chen Shuangbai had gradually figured out a few tricks. He discovered that among the thousands of refracted blue lights, there seemed to be some "foreign objects" emitting different auras.
He was about to intercept one of them, but the strange object quickly crashed into a stone pillar, merging into it like a drop of water into a lake, thus failing to achieve his goal.
But this didn't annoy Chen Shuangbai; instead, it piqued his interest even more.
"Interesting..."
Chen Shuangbai had never experienced anything so interesting in the Jade Spring Sect before, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little playful. So he rode his sword rainbow, shuttling back and forth in the woven net of blue light, chasing after those strange objects that emitted unusual energy.
However, as they continued their pursuit, the aura of the surrounding blue light seemed to be increasing again.
Chen Shuangbai paused slightly, about to activate the [ Jade Palace Bright Abyss True Pupils ], but then slightly turned her gaze to the southwest. There she saw a patch of Glazed Glass, colorful light, accompanied by wisps of golden dust, and faint, continuous chanting sounds.
"Where did Shi Xiu come from?"
Chen Shuangbai remembered it clearly.
These six golden tokens of Pengyu Heaven are all in the hands of the Six Sects. Even if they were entrusted to other places, they would still only belong to the Six Sects. How could they be related to Buddhist monks?
As he was pondering, the array formed by the Glazed Glass light had already traversed thousands of blue lights and gradually moved towards Chen Shuangbai's side.
Both were somewhat surprised when they met.
The five Buddhist monks were taken aback when they saw the Daoist priest there. Then they noticed his distinctive jade eyes and his pine-frost-colored feather robe and immediately understood his identity.
The leader, Jingxu, slightly shifted his six eerie pupils, glanced at Chen Shuangbai, and immediately manipulated the array formed by the Glazed Glass glass light, preparing to head in another direction.
But when they wanted to leave, Chen Shuangbai wouldn't let them.
A beam of Vast Cold Slaughtering Mystic Light shot out and plunged into the Glazed Glass light. Wherever it passed, a chill spread, and the killing power eroded a hole, into which thousands of azure lights pierced one after another.
Upon seeing this, one of the Buddhist monks glared at him and shouted, "You scoundrel, how dare you?!"
The monk roared, then took out the prayer beads he was holding and flicked them into the air. They transformed into eighteen brown beads, which scattered in the air, emitting a rich Glazed Glass light and exuding a power that suppressed the soul and bewitched people, as they struck towards Chen Shuangbai.
Chen Shuangbai smiled coldly, flicked his finger, and a golden-white Frost Osmanthus Sword Essence flew out. With a flick in mid-air, it transformed into sixteen incomparably sharp sword lights, like sixteen clear crescent moons, annihilating the attack. Then, following the previous opening, it pierced through the Glazed Glass colored light and instantly struck the attacking monk.
The monk was immediately horrified and cried out for help. The leading monk with six eyes shuddered slightly, then suddenly flung his magnificent kasaya open, which spread out with a powerful, overwhelming force, swallowing all sixteen sword lights.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly, and saw the six-eyed Shi Xiu looking directly at him, speaking softly:
"Isn't the Sword Immortal going a bit too far?"
"Maybe."
Chen Shuangbai looked at this rather mysterious Buddhist Pengyu Heaven with a questioning gaze. "Could you please tell me that only those who possess the Six Sects' Golden Tokens are allowed to enter? How did you manage to bring your entire family in?"
Jingxu's gaze remained unmoved, showing no fear whatsoever, and he remained silent about it.
Seeing this, Chen Shuangbai let out a soft "Huh?", "What? Afraid to say it?"
"Isn't Lotus Temple afraid that the Jade Spring Sect, the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, the Arrayed Mystery Sect, and other sects will hold Lotus Temple accountable afterward?"
" Xuhong vaguely remembers that Lotus Temple doesn't seem to have many Nascent Soul left, does it?"
It wasn't that Chen Shuangbai intentionally wanted to cause trouble for these people, but this [ Pengyu Heaven ] was jointly owned by the six sects. Now that someone from outside the six sects had barged in, if he hadn't seen it, it would have been fine... but since he had seen it, he definitely had to intervene!
After all, the damage to the interests of his sect was indeed not Chen Shuangbai's business, but the interests of the Jade Spring Sect were also involved... so he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Faced with his aggressive questioning, which clearly carried a hint of threat, Jingxu still did not speak. He simply murmured a Buddhist chant, and the five of them emitted a burst of Glazed Glass light, about to depart again in the blink of an eye.
Just as Chen Shuangbai was about to make a move, he suddenly looked towards the northwest, just like Jingxu.
A billowing cloud of blood-black energy rushed towards them, and a blood-red soul banner was raised high. On the banner, a picture of lovesick men and women transformed into evil ghosts and vengeful slaves was painted. A strange and lingering sense of sorrow emanated from it, and behind it were the two characters [Separation and Regret] written in ancient script.
Zhao Buyan stood beneath the crimson soul banner, his crimson cloak almost dripping blood. Behind him, his three Golden Core disciples remained silent, their gazes deep and unfathomable as they stared intently at the two sides before them, creating an eerie atmosphere.
In this eerie atmosphere, the Daoist priest, draped in a pine-frost-patterned Great Yin Feather Robe, suddenly laughed.
The laughter was clear and bright, and one could clearly hear the joy in it.
Zhao Buyan and Jingxu both looked at Chen Shuangbai, wondering if this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal was somewhat deranged.
But Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but clap her hands, repeatedly praising, "Great! Great!"
" Lotus Temple and the Parting Hate Gate are both here."
"This Grotto-Heaven has really become a sieve; any Tom, Dick, or Harry can run in and get a piece of the pie."
