Chen Shuangbai still entrusted the Jingxu soul to this Chan Master Baoyun.
It's not that I'm afraid of this person.
Because this person is not from the [ Golden Banner ] or [ Glazed Glass ] lineages, but from the [ Pure Water ] lineage, he is one of the few Buddhist practitioners in Lotus Temple who leans towards the ancient Buddhism style, and can be considered a Buddhist practitioner who can be won over.
Another point is that since Jingxu's soul is in Chen Shuangbai's hands, he doesn't actually have many ways to deal with it.
It's not that it can't be destroyed, but the root of Jingxu's soul is located within the [ Lesser Lotus Pure Land ] of Lotus Temple, and the power of this Pure Land is contained within her soul.
This power of Pure Land is essentially a special power of Buddhist practice, which is beneficial to the soul, but also has other effects.
For example... it could contaminate the foundation of a cultivator who actively accepts or absorbs his teachings.
Now, it's been put to good use; in return, it yielded three [ Golden Lotus Seed ].
Whether for personal use or as a gift for teachers and younger generations, it is a good choice.
After Baoyun obtained Jingxu's soul, his body emitted a Glazed Glass light, waking the dazed Jingxu. Then, the two of them talked about something.
Then, the Zen master Jingxu his hand, and Jingxu's soul turned into golden dust and scattered, vaguely disappearing into a golden, Glazed Glass land opened up somewhere unknown. Within it, the faint sound of chanting could be heard, and the fragrance of sandalwood permeated the air; it was clearly a pure land.
After summoning his junior disciple back, the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator said no more. His figure was gradually covered by auspicious clouds, and the Glazed Glass light gradually dimmed, but he remained guarding this place.
Seeing this, Qingsongzi didn't say much, but he also talked about the [ Black and Yellow Land ] and speculated, "The appearance of the Holy Origin Demonic Alliance and the Blood Sea Dao is unlikely to be so coincidental; there's probably something fishy going on."
Let's take this message back to Fellow Daoist Qingyun together.
The two watched Liu Qinghe leave.
Qingsongzi slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Chen Shuangbai, or more precisely, on the [ Foot-Long Silk ] sword at Chen Shuangbai's waist. His gaze was deep and meaningful as he said, "Your [ Foot-Long Silk ] sword should only be Mid-Grade Law Treasure, right?"
"Um."
Chen Shuangbai did not hide anything, only saying, "This precious sword was nourished by the aura of my advancement to Golden Core and Nascent Soul, making it of extremely high rank and perfectly suited to my Dao Path."
"I understand, but if the Law Treasure weapon is of too low a grade, it will ultimately affect you."
"What do you mean, senior?"
Qingsongzi Songzi slowly said, " The Sword Alliance... oh no, the Liheng Sword Sect has a unique Sword-Washing Spring. The spring water has been refined by many famous swords of the sect, which greatly nourishes the swords."
"And besides, didn't you come all this way just to pay your respects to that [ Sword Stele ]?"
"Go ask your True Lord, see if he can spare some blood to elevate your [ Foot-Long Silk ] to a higher level."
Chen Shuangbai thought about it and felt that Qingsongzi's words made a lot of sense, so he bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
Qingsongzi waved his hand and said, "What's this about giving pointers?"
"Given your potential and your current status, your True Lord is probably considering this matter as well. It's just that I, being a longer-lived old man, have more experience."
Sword Alliance, Ten Thousand Ren Mountain.
Inside the [ Cloud-Slaying Hall ].
Liu Qinghe returned ahead of time and had already informed the Sword Lord of the Sword Alliance of what had happened at sea.
The Sword Lord were furious.
The Sword Alliance had always disapproved of the Holy Origin Alliance's entire style of doing things, from top to bottom, and even more so of their background. They had previously invited the Heaven-Hating Devil Lord and the Devil Lord Yuandu to a meeting, but both had refused.
It's fine if they refuse, since I didn't really expect them to come anyway.
But as long as you don't cause trouble on matters of principle, that's fine.
But what about now?
Not only were there acts of sabotage, but even the Blood Sea Dao, which had been repeatedly suppressed and ravaged by the Sword Alliance, had gotten involved?
Azure Cloud Sword Lord sat in the main seat, his expression terrifyingly gloomy. A vast and bright azure Divine Ability light rose from his body, gradually evolving into a great sword realm, in which countless azure sword lights floated, like an ocean of swords.
" Pure Heart, bring Zhu Ling back. You will be the commander-in-chief, and he will be the deputy commander. The offensive against Blood Sea Dao and Lifeless City will no longer be gentle."
"This time I promise him that I will use my Sword Intent, regardless of the consequences, to at least make those Nascent Soul Early Stage and Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators from Blood Sea Dao and Lifeless City... die three times!"
As Chen Shuangbai stepped into the hall, he heard these cold words echoing throughout the hall. The atmosphere inside was tense, and the other Sword Alliance disciples lined up in the hall also had solemn expressions, filled with righteous indignation.
After receiving the order, the Pure Heart Sword Lord turned around and transformed into a streak of sword light, departing.
After watching Pure Heart Sword Lord leave, Azure Cloud Sword Lord's gaze finally fell on Chen Shuangbai and Liu Qinghe, and his tone softened somewhat.
"Thank you both very much."
"Once this matter is resolved, our Sword Alliance will surely reward you handsomely!"
Chen Shuangbai and Liu Qinghe both returned the greeting with clasped hands.
"It's not a big deal... Everyone's on edge these days, and naturally we're all on Qinghua's side."
Upon hearing this, the Azure Cloud Sword Lord's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.
The Flower Washing Sword Sect is also a sword-wielding sect, and it has always had close ties with several sects in the Sword Alliance. The two sides can be considered to be on good terms.
As for Chen Shuangbai...
This one is even more extraordinary.
Jade Spring Dao Child, Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal... a hundred-year-old Nascent Soul, estimated to be a [ Heaven Nascent Soul ], possessing limitless potential.
Such talent, though not from the Sword Alliance, pained Azure Cloud Sword Lord greatly, at least now he has his own judgment when it comes to matters of principle. Therefore, Azure Cloud Sword Lord is willing to mentor him.
"By the way, since you've come all this way, you should leave your Sword Intent on the [ Sword Stele ], and also pay homage to the Sword Intent traces left by our predecessors... I wonder what young friend Xuhong thinks?"
Chen Shuangbai was just about to bring it up...
Since the Azure Cloud Sword Lord has already mentioned this matter, it will save us some trouble.
"That's exactly what I was thinking too."
"Good."
"Please wait a moment while I summon a disciple to take you to visit the [ Sword Stele ]."
Not long after.
A sword rainbow, shimmering with Glazed Glass luster, floated in from outside the hall. As it landed in front of her, it transformed into a beautiful female cultivator dressed in a plain blue robe, with her hair styled in a cloud-like bun and a slender sword at her waist.
It was none other than Nangu Yaohua of the Sumiao Sword Pavilion.
"Alliance Leader!"
Nangu Yaohua's gaze swept over Chen Shuangbai, then she bowed to the Azure Cloud Sword Lord in the main seat.
"It just so happens that you, Yaohua, know young friend Xuhong, so why don't you take him to the [ Sword Stele ]?"
Nangu Yaohua clearly already knew about this, and didn't ask any further questions. She simply smiled slightly, stepped aside, and gestured for him to follow her, saying, " Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, please come with me."
Chen Shuangbai cupped his hands in greeting to the Azure Cloud Sword Lord, then looked at Liu Qinghe.
His eyes revealed envy.
Clearly, he also wanted to go and pay his respects.
The Azure Cloud Sword Lord smiled, waved his hand gently, and said, "Let's go together."
