Spirit Gauze Sea.
Because the Ning Country coastline was blocked, and fearing that the Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Three Demon Caves might ambush them near the sea, Chen Shuangbai did not go to the sea as before. Instead, he used a secret passage in a lake in Ning Country occupied by the Vast Waves Alliance to directly escape into the sea.
Waves splash, seabirds soar, and the sea and sky merge into one.
Chen Shuangbai, riding the sword rainbow, carried Feiguang, Changming, and Gao Yi, speeding across the sea.
True Person Mei is right.
If he were to form his Nascent Soul within the seas, the commotion would certainly be considerable.
Given Chen Shuangbai's current reputation within the Holy Origin Alliance, no cultivator below the Nascent Soul could escape his Sword Intent if they encountered him. If he were to successfully form a Nascent Soul, would the Holy Origin Alliance still be able to compete?
I'm afraid that when the Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon appears, those Nascent Soul True Lord of the Holy Origin Alliance will go mad and come to the Jade Spring Sect to kill him without regard for anything else. Even if several of them perish, they will probably drag Chen Shuangbai down with them.
It's different at sea.
The sea is vast, and if someone wants to hide, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator cannot find them for decades.
Chen Shuangbai and True Person Mei actually shared the same idea about secretly cultivating their inner energy at sea.
Before leaving, True Person Mei gave Chen Shuangbai many good things.
Besides the [ Golden Dew Jade Liquid Pill ], there was also a set of top-tier third-order array [ Four Symbols Essence Sealing Formation ] made into an array plate, which would be used to shield the Nascent Soul formation celestial phenomenon, as well as more than five thousand ships of various kinds of Water-Element Divine Sand... In short, Chen Shuangbai brought all the spiritual resources needed for this Nascent Soul formation with him.
Chen Shuangbai estimated that the spiritual resources he carried were almost one-third of what the Jade Spring Sect currently possessed.
In addition, he also brought out the [ Heaven Beyond Heart Fire Furnace ].
In Yi Chongyue's words, if Chen Shuangbai doesn't have enough spiritual resources for cultivation, he can refine some himself and exchange them for other spiritual resources in the Immortal Market.
Feiguang soared higher, his aura almost vanishing, his sharp white eyes scanning the surroundings to guard against any potential enemies.
Gao Yi held the Changming and stood behind his master.
Of Chen Shuangbai's four disciples, one was traveling abroad, while the other two were still serving the sect on the Ning Country battlefield.
Only Gao Yi, who is now in the Late Qi Refining Stage, has not been home for many years. He can be brought back to Jade Wave Immortal Market so that he can see his parents, brothers and sisters and fulfill his filial piety.
Chen Shuangbai was planning to use Gao Hao, the young master of the Jade Wave Immortal Market, to sell a batch of demonic spiritual resources that were hard to obtain domestically, in exchange for some unique spiritual resources from the sea, intending to refine a pill himself.
Several days later.
Jade Wave Immortal Market, Immortal-Welcoming Residence.
Gao Hao arrived outside the elegant courtyard and ordered his men to seal it off before entering the courtyard alone.
Beside the waterside pavilion in the courtyard, a tall, imposing True Person stood before the railing, clad in a pine-frost-colored Great Yin Feather Robe, his sleeves billowing, resembling a celestial being from the moon palace, seemingly feeding fish.
Gao Yi stood by, and when he saw his father finally arrive, a look of joy appeared on his face. However, he did not rush over immediately, but instead looked at his master.
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, and Gao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your son greets Father!"
"Good child, good child, get up quickly, get up quickly!"
A father and son reuniting is always a beautiful thing.
Gao Yi has been in the Jade Spring Sect for decades and has now grown up. He inherited Gao Hao's handsome appearance as a noble young master, but his years of sword practice and the demeanor of Qi Refining who cultivates in seclusion in the mountains make him look quite dashing, which makes his father, Gao Hao, very satisfied.
After chatting with his son for a while, Gao Hao walked up to Chen Shuangbai and respectfully bowed, saying, " Yi'er's success today is all thanks to your careful guidance, elder brother!"
Chen Shuangbai said frankly that it was all as it should be.
Gao Hao was a perceptive man. He realized something from Chen Shuangbai's secret visit, but he hesitated to speak for fear of offending Chen Shuangbai, the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal.
But Chen Shuangbai had no such reservations and simply laid everything out on the table.
"I've come here not only to await Yi'er to his hometown to reunite with your family, but also to request some spiritual funds from you, my worthy brother, and assistance in purchasing a large quantity of spiritual supplies..."
Gao Hao took the long list of spiritual resources, becoming even more certain of his thoughts, and said heavily, "Brother, are you really going to..."
Chen Shuangbai nodded with a smile.
Gao Hao felt a wave of dizziness.
As the young master of the Jade Wave Immortal Market, with the market's abundant spiritual resources and his own considerable talent, Gao Hao is now at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage. After another ten years or so of consolidation, he plans to break through to the Golden Core stage.
But what about Chen Shuangbai?
He's already in the Late Golden Core Stage, and is even planning to break through to the Nascent Soul?!
But Gao Hao felt no jealousy whatsoever; instead, he felt honored, genuinely happy, and delighted.
The stronger Chen Shuangbai becomes and the higher her reputation, the brighter her child's future will be. In other words, Jade Wave Immortal Market will also gain the friendship of all future Nascent Soul Sword Immortals.
This is something that no amount of spiritual resources or Spirit Stone could buy!
Gao Hao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said solemnly, "Brother, please rest assured, I will retrieve all the spiritual resources on this list within three days."
Chen Shuangbai smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, we'll collect as much as we can."
Three days later.
As promised, Gao Hao brought all the spiritual resources Chen Shuangbai requested, filling three high-level Storage Bag. This even attracted the attention of several elders of the Gao Clan Lineage in the Immortal City, but Gao Hao managed to cover it up by mentioning the name of their ancestor.
Chen Shuangbai accepted the Storage Bag, then looked at Gao Yi with gentle eyes and said, "I am about to set off for the outer sea to find an extremely secluded place to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Nascent Soul. This journey will take at least seven or eight years, and possibly as long as twenty or thirty years... Yi'er don't you stay with your parents and fulfill your filial duties?"
Gao Yi knew that going with him would only distract his master, so he agreed.
Gao Hao, however, brought a survey map of the outer and inner seas.
But after thinking about it, he said something.
"Brother, if you don't mind, my Azure Wave Gao Clan has several extremely secluded spirit islands located at the junction of the inner and outer seas. Only a handful of people in the clan know about them. They are all equipped with complete grand formations that can withstand the storm season... If you don't mind, brother, why not choose one as your place for seclusion?"
The outer sea is the territory of the Sixteen Demon Caves and the Flood Dragon Clan, while the inner sea is the territory of various factions and the Eight Immortal Markets... Chen Shuangbai's reputation among the Sixteen Demon Caves and the Flood Dragon Clan is actually not very good.
Gao Hao has spent a lot of money and reaped considerable benefits from his investments in Chen Shuangbai and the Jade Spring Sect over the years. This move is also aimed at further increasing his investment in the sword Chen Shuangbai.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai's heart stirred slightly.
"No one else knows?"
Gao Hao patted his chest and declared, "Apart from the patriarch, myself, and two or three elders, no one else knows."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai knew that this matter was most likely instigated by the Gao Clan's ancestor, so he pondered for a moment and said:
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
[PS: Four chapters today! Please give gifts, good reviews, and support! Despite consistently updating four chapters a day, the rate of readers following my updates is still dropping wildly. I suspect it's because my cultivation progress is too slow. I had a sleepless night last night, feeling incredibly anxious. My next plan is to speed things up and reach Nascent Soul stage. I hope everyone will continue to support me.]
