The magic boat of True Lord Canxia was clearly a powerful Law Treasure of equal rank. Not only did it fly as if walking on flat ground without the slightest turbulence, but it was also like a wisp of blue cloud flowing silently across the sky, yet moving at an extremely fast speed.
The airship glided through the clouds, with the Azure Wave sea below and the blue sky and white clouds above. Occasionally, a few seabirds would fly past the airship, emitting clear calls.
Chen Shuangbai stood by the ship's side, gazing at the scenery ahead, his internal Divine Ability constantly circulating.
The True Lord Canxia walked to his side and handed him a jade pot.
Chen Shuangbai took it with some confusion. As she shook it slightly, she could hear the sound of wine sloshing inside. Taking a closer sniff, she felt a clear and sweet osmanthus fragrance fill her nostrils, making her feel completely refreshed.
"Senior, what is this?"
The True Lord Canxia smiled and said, "The [ Golden Osmanthus Fragrance ] I refined using my unique Secret Method, and your pot is eighty years old. Have a sip; it will help stabilize your Divine Ability."
"Then this junior will accept without being impolite."
Chen Shuangbai lifted the lid of the pot, and with a flick of his left hand, a jade cup resembling ice crystal appeared in his hand. He poured the wine from the pot, and the amber-colored liquid flowed into the jade cup, gleaming warmly in the sunlight.
After drinking one or two cups, he felt a refreshing sweetness slide down his throat and into his stomach. Then, his Divine Ability circulated, spreading throughout his limbs and bones, nourishing the jade infant that had just been formed and was quietly curled up in his Dantian.
"Thank you so much for your kind offer, senior!"
Chen Shuangbai said this.
True Lord Canxia waved his hand and laughed, "No need to be so polite. You just formed your Nascent Soul and used your Divine Ability, so your Nascent Soul must be a bit weak. You need my mild spiritual wine to stabilize your foundation."
"Senior, could you please take me to the Jade Wave Immortal Market first?"
Chen Shuangbai took another sip of the spiritual wine, feeling its nourishing effect on his body, and said, "I have a disciple who is from the Azure Wave Gao Clan. Now that I have successfully formed my Nascent Soul, I should take him with me on my way."
This time, True Lord Canxia was surprised and laughed, "I didn't expect that... but it doesn't matter. I was originally heading towards the Yuan Kingdom... so I'll change direction and go to the Jade Wave Immortal Market first, so that you and your disciple can reunite."
" Yuan Kingdom?"
This time, Chen Shuangbai was slightly taken aback.
"Why did you enter the country from the Yuan Kingdom...? Has the Ning Country already fallen completely?"
Chen Shuangbai's expression was solemn, and she had already considered the worst possible outcome.
But True Lord Canxia shook his head slightly and said, "I have lived at sea for a long time, so I am not very well informed about news from within the sea. However, the waters near Ning Country have now been blocked by several Nascent Soul Demon Lord. All trade routes between the sea and the mainland that involve that sea area have been rendered almost useless."
"Now, the only way to land safely is through the more dangerous waters near the Yuan Kingdom."
"They've blockaded the waters near Ning Country?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai immediately understood what the other party's purpose was.
He calmed himself and began to think.
"Previously, our trade with Jade Wave Immortal Market mainly involved landing near the coast of Ning Country... No, the Gao Clan wouldn't give up on this business so easily; they've most likely already opened up new trade routes, landing near the coast of the Yuan Kingdom..."
"Even so, the reserves of spiritual resources will likely be greatly affected!"
"Hmm... This kind of scheme doesn't seem like something those demon lords could come up with. It's most likely an idea from those treacherous villains of the Holy Origin Alliance... Heh, they really are a bunch of cunning people."
Following this line of thought, Chen Shuangbai suddenly remembered the "several Nascent Soul Demon Lord " mentioned by True Lord Canxia earlier, and her pupils lit up as she asked, "Senior, are the only ones who want to go ashore now not just the Crimson Fire, Gen Earth, and Black Enclosure Caves?"
True Lord Canxia nodded.
He wasn't very clear about what was happening domestically, but he knew a little about what was happening overseas... or rather, what was happening at sea.
"Besides the original Three Demon Caves, as far as I know, the Treasure Light, Sand Scale, and Golden Horn Three Demon Caves also contributed to the current closure of the waters near Ning Country... Speaking of which, these demons really do have their eyes on the seas within their grasp."
"We were like oil and water, always wanting to beat the other to a pulp... but what about now?"
True Lord Canxia scoffed, clearly not forgetting his own human origins, and mocked, "To think they can be so united? In the end, it's nothing more than being driven by self-interest."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai became even more anxious.
But he had just achieved a certain level of mastery and needed to stabilize his mind.
Seeing this, True Lord Canxia remembered that his beloved daughter had sent him a rare letter, and he insisted on taking good care of his daughter, his junior. He gently pushed up the green jade crown on his head, and a green cloud appeared, transforming into a green cloud auspicious cloud, radiating a clear spiritual energy.
Under the clear and bright light, Chen Shuangbai felt a cool sensation entering his body, which gradually calmed Dantian previously agitated and unstable emotions.
"Young man, you can't rush things."
"No matter how tense the situation at home and abroad is, it cannot be changed overnight... Even if your Jade Spring Sect is currently in a deep decline, it will not completely collapse in just a few days."
Your most urgent task is to stabilize yourself.
The True Lord Canxia' eyes gleamed slightly, and his voice seemed to contain a unique rhythm, gradually calming the listener's emotions.
Chen Shuangbai gradually calmed down.
Or perhaps, the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] within his sea of consciousness once again radiated its wondrous power, suppressing his turbulent emotional waves and allowing his heart to return to a state of undisturbed tranquility, as clear as ice, even in the face of a collapsing sky.
A moment later.
The anxiety in Chen Shuangbai's eyes gradually faded, and her gaze became clear again. She bowed to True Lord Canxia in gratitude.
"I have learned a great deal."
True Lord Canxia urged the magic boat forward, and the speed of the jade flying boat beneath him increased again. He then changed direction and headed towards the Jade Wave Immortal Market.
One month later.
This vast celestial market, situated at the confluence of the outer and inner seas, remains as bustling and vibrant as ever. Thousands of sails race across the sea, and people come and go at the docks. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and the clinking of Law Treasure artifacts blend together to create a lively scene.
Tourists and cultivators who had settled here were suddenly surprised to find that the Immortal Market seemed even more grand today.
There were many more patrolling cultivators on duty, and many spirit birds were also patrolling in the sky. Above the main gate of the Immortal Market below, many red and green spirit banners were hanging, fluttering in the wind.
Furthermore, many powerful members of the Gao Clan clan from the Immortal Market also appeared, pacing back and forth in front of the main gate, their faces showing either joy or surprise.
Upon seeing this spectacle, the cultivators within the Immortal Market stopped to watch and discuss it amongst themselves.
"What's going on? Why is the Gao Clan putting on such a grand show today?"
"You didn't know? I heard a very important guest is coming!"
"Distinguished guest? What distinguished guest could warrant such a grand reception from the Gao Clan? Could it be that one of the owners of the Eight Immortal Markets has come in person?"
"Even more powerful than that! I heard from people within the Gao Clan that a Nascent Soul True Lord has just formed his Nascent Soul is coming today! Moreover, this True Lord is the master of the fourth son of the Gao Clan's young master!"
In an instant, it caused an uproar throughout the entire Immortal City.
