Chen Shuangbai stood up.
The thick, cotton-like snow that had covered him then rushed away in all directions, clearing a clean space in front of him.
"Call!"
Chen Shuangbai gently exhaled a breath of white air, which instantly transformed into streaks of bright light that scattered and flew in all directions.
As soon as these rays of light touched the ground, the place was instantly transformed.
Jade palaces and celestial palaces rise from the ground, with jade steps, corridors, waterside pavilions, and terraces scattered among them in a well-organized manner.
Scattered golden-white Glazed Glass trees rise from the central open space, blooming in an instant. Their canopies are vast, covered with delicate golden blossoms. A gust of snow blows them down, and they fall like pearls, tinkling and jingling on the ground like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate, a melodious and captivating sound.
The Daoist's appearance grew increasingly handsome and otherworldly. He stood in this moon palace paradise for a long time, letting the bright radiance, the flowing light of falling snow, and the delicate golden blossoms fall upon him, producing a melodious sound like gold and jade clashing together...
In the end, everything was absorbed into the Daoist's brow.
It was a perfectly round, golden-white halo.
Chen Shuangbai sighed softly, and more white breath leaped out of his mouth, but this time it did not manifest any more strange phenomena. Instead, it was all absorbed by the twelve lunar phases that responded one by one behind his head.
First Month, Ruyue, Bingyue, Yuyue, Gaoyue, Fifth Month, Xiangyue, Zhuangyue, Eighth Month, Yangyue, Guyue, and Twelfth Month... Throughout the year, the twelve symbolic changes of Grand Yin ) are ultimately fused into a golden and white, bright and vast, ever-changing, round moonlight that waxes and wanes.
The golden-white halo between his brows and the round moonlight behind his head shone brightly, and beams of Great Yin Divine Ability light from the Taiyin (Moon) spread out from above, layer upon layer of halos illuminating his body, rising several feet high from the crack in the valley...
Within Chen Shuangbai eyes, the twelve phases of the moon manifested one by one, resembling twelve white wheels. However, under the influence of her Divine Ability, they ultimately transformed into two bright, clear halos, as if formed from condensed moonlight. They shone brightly, seemingly able to see into the deepest recesses of all things at a glance.
The [ Four Symbols Essence Sealing Formation ] appeared in response, and the vast array light screen attempted to block the Nascent Soul Celestial Phenomenon within the formation. However, after only a moment of contact, this top-tier third-order formation, which could withstand storms for several months, was broken open and turned into countless ice crystals that fluttered down onto the island and drifted in the sea.
Feiguang and Changming stared blankly at the strange phenomenon that broke through the great formation's restraints.
Without the constraints of this grand formation, the vast aura belonging solely to the Nascent Soul True Lord was no longer hindered, soaring straight into the sky and transforming into a perfectly round and flawless bright moon, scattering boundless clear light. This light condensed into streaks of tassel-like afterglow, which fluttered down into the sea, transforming into laurel Glazed Glass treasure trees covered with delicate golden stamens, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles of sea.
The strange phenomenon began to spread.
Centered on this sacred island, countless lives in the sea have been affected.
Sea fish grow wings and soar through the air; shellfish open their mouths and compete to offer pearls; grasses and algae are blessed and flourish like a garden... The Grand Yin nurtures all living things, and all things are bathed in the Grand Yin's radiance and jade-like light, and all receive something.
Such a commotion could not be hidden any longer.
"Where did this guy come from... so ignorant of the rules, daring to break through here?"
"Shh!"
"Are you out of your mind? Can't you see this sir has successfully formed his Nascent Soul?"
"This kind of sleight of hand? Are you trying to kill me?"
One after another, beams of Divine Ability light came from all directions, landing several miles away, transforming into figures that were either human or demonic, indistinct and shadowy, as if watching a spectacle, or as if witnessing something.
Most of the Golden Core True Person who came here were just there to watch the spectacle of Chen Shuangbai's advancement.
Of course, there are also those who are short-sighted and eager to die young.
Suddenly, waves several meters high surged up from the sea, and a colossal creature, resembling a half-pig, half-snake monster, leaped out from within. It soared into the sky, enveloped in a stench, and landed in the clouds, transforming into a hideous Golden Core Demon King.
The demon king looked up at the perfectly round, bright moon in the sky, frowned slightly, and showed disgust in his eyes. He said sternly, "That human cultivator, doesn't he know that this is the territory of my Feiyu Cave? Did you report to my ancestor before advancing your cultivation here?"
His answer was a ray of jade light, like a tassel, falling from the sky.
Upon seeing this, the demon king flew into a rage and was about to attack when, under the jade light, he transformed into a lifelike snow sculpture. With a gust of wind, the snowflakes fluttered down and turned into ice crystals, merging into the moonlight—a truly beautiful sight.
The Golden Core True Person were watching gasped in shock at the sight and retreated dozens of nautical miles away, filled with astonishment and fear.
Could that be the Golden Core Demon King of Feiyu Cave?
But this is a demon cave guarded by Nascent Soul Demon Lord!
Among the Sixteen Demon Caves, they would rank among the top five.
Just like that... it was so easily wiped away?
The cultivators whispered amongst themselves, but none of them dared to speak openly anymore.
But at this moment.
Several other Nascent Soul stood even higher, radiating different Divine Ability powers that illuminated all directions, surrounding the newly promoted Nascent Soul in the center who made no attempt to conceal his imposing aura.
Just then, melodious music and the pleasant sound of jade beads falling onto a golden plate wafted over. All the cultivators heard was a figure singing aloud from within the perfectly round, bright moon, the voice clear and melodious, as if truly descending from the Jade Palace:
All I heard was:
[True gold is refined in the Grand Yin Palace; the twelve wheel platforms illuminate the past and present.]
[Do not say that the path to immortality is nowhere to be found; the bright moon is the symbol of my heart.]
As the song spread across thousands of miles, the perfectly round and bright moonlight gradually receded. A handsome Daoist priest, clad in a pine-frost-colored robe, slowly emerged from within it. His eyes shone with a pure white light, a white mirror hung at his waist, and a golden-white halo emanated from between his brows. Behind his head hung the bright moon, the two lights reflecting each other. The brilliance of the Great Yin Divine Ability illuminated all directions, and the vast Law Power and aura unique to the Nascent Soul True Lord shook the sea.
In that instant.
Those Golden Core True Person and demon kings who were watching from a great distance, including Nascent Soul True Lord and demon kings who were higher in the sky and whose intentions were unknown, all fell silent. Then, congratulatory voices came from all directions.
Congratulations, fellow Daoist ( True Lord )!
Chen Shuangbai stood amidst the colorful light of the Great Yin Divine Ability, his gaze sweeping across all directions, accepting each congratulatory message without a trace of arrogance or pride.
He slightly cupped his hands in return, bowing to the four directions, and said in a clear and calm voice:
"I am Chen Shuangbai of the Jade Spring Sect, with the Dharma name Xuhong."
"I am truly sorry for disturbing you all... If you have time in the future, you are all welcome to visit the Jade Spring Sect. I, Xuhong, will certainly welcome you with open arms."
