Sword Alliance.
The Sword Alliance is located in the north of the Celebrated Splendor Continent, adjacent to the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea.
On the battlefield of the Ancient Kingdom, Blood Sea Island and Lifeless City now only have about one-third of their territory left; the rest has been conquered by the Sword Alliance.
On this day, at the Sword Alliance headquarters on Ten Thousand Ren Mountain.
A golden sword flew from the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea, tearing through the air with a sharp sound, piercing through the layers of arrays and restrictions of Ten Thousand Ren Mountain, and entering the palace in the mountain.
Inside the [ Cloud-Slaying Hall ], the Azure Cloud Sword Lord, who had the highest cultivation level, raised his hand and flipped it over, landing the golden sword flying book in his hand. He probed into it with his Divine Sense and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Below.
Su Xin Pure Heart Sword Lord of the Sumiao Sword Pavilion, who was studying a chess game, put down his chess piece upon seeing this and asked with concern, "Senior Brother Qingyun, what's wrong?"
The Azure Cloud Sword Lord slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the front of the hall towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea. He said in a deep voice, "Send word to all the sects and factions."
Upon hearing this, Pure Heart Sword Lord immediately straightened up. Seeing his Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, looking towards the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea, his expression changed, and he tentatively asked, "But... but that place..."
"That's right, Junior Brother Jinyun, who guards the [ Black and Yellow Land ], said the seal is damaged."
West Kingdom, the site of the Celebrated Origin Sect.
Inside the quiet room, a shimmering blue water mirror appeared before Chen Shuangbai, reflecting the somewhat serious face of True Lord Qingchen.
" The Black and Yellow Land?" Chen Shuangbai murmured the name to himself.
On the water mirror, True Lord Qingchen slowly began to speak.
"This is an ancient land situated on the sea of the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea, a pristine paradise untouched by war during the medieval period."
"About five thousand years ago, six Nascent Soul Peak cultivators from our side and the Demon Cultivator side fought a decisive battle on the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea."
"In the end, the human cultivators narrowly won, killing one and using the wondrous power of the [ Black and Yellow Land ] to suppress the other two, attempting to use the long passage of time to wear down the two demons' minds and bodies."
"However, the Azure Cloud Sword Lord of the Sword Alliance sent messages to all sects and factions, saying that the seal on the [ Black and Yellow Land ] has changed, saying that..."
At this point, True Lord Qingchen considered his words carefully before saying, "It is said that there is a suspected external force affecting the seal's state, and the first crack has already appeared."
A demon lord at the Nascent Soul Peak!
He's just one step away from reaching the Spirit Transformation stage.
At the same level, a demon lord at the Nascent Soul Peak is stronger than a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Peak.
Because of their unique physical and bloodline advantages.
If this really happens...
Chen Shuangbai frowned slightly, already able to recall the horrific scene from that time.
"What does the Sword Alliance mean?"
True Lord Qingchen sighed softly and said, " The Sword Alliance is adjacent to the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea, and those three Nascent Soul Peak seniors from back then were all from the Liheng Sword Sect. Therefore, all these years, it has been his family that has been looking after that [ Black and Yellow Land ]."
"The fact that they've sent a message so urgently means it must be truly quite pressing."
"Moreover, this is not just a matter for his Sword Alliance, but concerns the entire Celebrated Splendor Continent... Our Jade Spring Sect Vast Waves Alliance cannot sit idly by."
Chen Shuangbai agrees with this action, or rather, this philosophy.
"Does the alliance want me to come here?"
True Lord Qingchen nodded slightly and said, "This matter has already been discussed among the Nascent Soul within the alliance."
"This time, Qingsongzi of the Flower Washing Sword Sect will be taking the [ Flower Washing Sword Cleansing Painting ] on a trip. You should go too."
"Perfect timing, the Sword Alliance also wanted you to leave a trace of Sword Intent on that Sword Stele."
Chen Shuangbai paid more attention to the first sentence than the second.
Qingsongzi, also known as the Supreme Elder of the Flower Washing Sword Sect who Nascent Soul Late Stage, is the pillar of the Flower Washing Sword Sect and the only true Nascent Soul Late Stage Great True Lord in the Vast Waves Alliance!
You're saying that True Lord Qingchen... he did rely on some tricks to acquire the ability to compete with Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.
Since even this person has been mobilized, it shows that the seal of the [ Black and Yellow Land ] is indeed crucial, relating to whether the human cultivators of the Celebrated Splendor Continent can continue to maintain their dominance.
"Since the alliance has already made its decision, Xuhong naturally has no problem with it."
"Alright, you should go back to Calming Waves City first."
After removing the water mirror, Chen Shuangbai did not immediately set off. Instead, she sat cross-legged in the quiet room and began to ponder.
"It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly; it seems like all sorts of demons and monsters have come out."
After taking a short breath, he got up and left. He went to the alchemy room and informed his Mystic Sea Avatar, who was still refining pills, that he was about to embark on a long journey.
This [ Seven-Return Spirit-Soul Pill ] is so miraculous that it can even be effective on Nascent Soul True Lord, so naturally, it takes quite a long time to refine.
It will take at least three to five years, and at most... perhaps ten years.
Mystic Sea Avatar seemed resigned to her fate; after all, she was just an avatar and naturally couldn't disobey the true body's will. However, upon hearing that the [ Black and Yellow Land ] was suppressing these two Nascent Soul Peak demon lords, her expression turned solemn, and she cautioned, "This is extremely dangerous; you must be extremely careful."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, turned to explain the matter to Ding Chengyu, and then returned to Calming Waves City.
Several months later.
Sword Alliance, Ten Thousand Ren Mountain.
Streaks of colorful light burst through the atmosphere, revealing various Law Treasure and flying boats slowly descending from the sky— the Nascent Soul True Lord from various sects and factions had arrived in person.
Chen Shuangbai was currently aboard a rather elegant flying boat, adorned with flowers of various colors. It lacked the dashing appearance of a cultivator, but rather possessed a charming pastoral atmosphere.
Behind him, an old man dressed in an indigo robe was sitting in a rattan chair drinking tea. His hair and beard were all white, and his white hair was tied up with a peach wood hairpin. His face was kind and approachable, and his temperament was distant and serene, like a hermit living in the mountains. He was none other than Qingsongzi, the Supreme Elder of the Flower Washing Sword Sect.
Seeing Chen Shuangbai standing at the bow of the boat, constantly gazing into the distance, Qingsongzi chuckled and said, "Young friend Xuhong, there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"Although the seal has a flaw, it won't completely collapse overnight."
"Don't worry, why don't you take a look at the scenery of this Li Kingdom first? It won't be a wasted trip."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai turned around and bowed respectfully to Qingsongzi, saying, "Senior is right; it is this junior who lacks composure."
Qingsongzi waved his hand, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely, "Young people, it's good to be energetic and responsible, but you don't have to take on everything yourself."
"I've been entrusted by your sect leader to protect you... Hehe, enough of that. We're almost there. Come with me for a cup of tea and see some old friends from the Sword Alliance."
The flying boat passed through layers of clouds, shimmering with colorful light, and finally approached the location of Ten Thousand Ren Mountain.
All around the precipitous mountain, various colors of spiritual light were already shining brightly.
Flying boats, spirit beasts, warships, Law Treasure... and all sorts of flying objects stopped in all directions, and powerful auras soared into the sky, but were overshadowed by the sword light on Ten Thousand Ren Mountain.
