Inside the passageway.
A man in blue robes transformed into a streak of light blue water and swiftly darted about.
It was the Yajie that occupied Qingchen's body.
At a certain moment.
He seemed to sense something, and slightly turned his head to look at the stone wall of the passageway. The eerie vertical pupils moved slightly, and the six plain white rings within them intertwined, revealing a hint of annoyance.
The Green Chi snorted coldly, somewhat annoyed, when suddenly a clear male voice rang in its ears, tinged with amusement, "How about it, Yajie? I told you, it won't be that easy to completely refine me."
Above the lake of the heart.
The fine, green rain fell from nowhere, intertwining and forming a curtain that trapped True Lord Qingchen's soul within it. The lake beneath him transformed into a clear pool, with streaks of green light from dragons swimming in its waters.
However, a faint golden-white light appeared three zhang away from True Lord Qingchen's soul, firmly protecting him and making it difficult for the Green Chi to refine his soul. It could also whisper in his ear from time to time, disturbing the Green Chi's mind.
Upon hearing the amused voice emanating from the lake, the Green Chi Yajie's anger intensified.
It snorted coldly, and with a thought, the azure rain covering the Heart Lake suddenly became denser. The raindrops fell like sharp arrows, striking the golden-white light shield surrounding True Lord Qingchen's soul, making a crackling sound.
But that thin layer of golden-white radiance, though seemingly fragile, was in fact incredibly tough. No matter how the green rain fell or how the clear pool water corroded it, it could not be broken in a short time.
True Lord Qingchen's laughter grew even louder.
The voice of the Yajie echoed in the lake of my heart, carrying a chilling aura. "You think you can stop me with this last bit of willpower?"
The spirit of True Lord Qingchen sat calmly within the golden-white light barrier, his expression serene, unmoved by the threat.
The sect leader of the Jade Spring Sect simply smiled calmly and said in a peaceful tone, "If I didn't have any help, it would have been a matter of time."
"But things are different now, with my helper..."
Yajie shouted sharply, his tone even colder, "Delusion!"
"Is this wishful thinking...? Hey, my precious tree is here!"
The present world.
The Yajie suddenly raised its head, and its powerful divine sense swept out in all directions. Wherever it passed, a layer of blue light even appeared faintly, and the continuous blue rain then manifested. However, there was no one around.
"You..."
Just as the dragon was about to mock, its expression suddenly changed, and it looked sharply in a certain direction. It saw the void ripple as if in waves, and a handsome Daoist in feathered robes slowly walked out from the very center of these ripples.
He was handsome and tall, with flowing sleeves and an extraordinary bearing. His eyebrows were straight and gentle, and a perfectly round, golden-white halo floated between them. At his waist was a plain white Grand Yin sword, which faintly emitted a hint of golden-white color. His magnificent Divine Ability light was clearly manifested on his body.
Accompanying this was a burst of purple-gold light that instantly unfolded and filled the passageway, as if to transform the place into a shimmering, purple-glowing land.
The Green Chi suddenly stopped, its eerie vertical pupils fixed coldly on the person before it, while the swirling blue rain intensified.
" Nascent Soul Middle Stage... Heh, I underestimated you!"
Chen Shuangbai remained calm, showing no sign of being provoked by the other party's words.
His feathered robes shimmered with a faint glow under the purple-gold light, and although the sword at his waist was not drawn, its wondrous Sword Intent already permeated the entire passageway.
"My meager skills are hardly something to be proud of before a dragon at the Spirit Transformation Peak... Senior Yajie, may we have a word?"
"Talk?"
The Yajie demonic eyes flickered slightly, gazing at the purple-gold light filling the passageway and sensing the faint, sharp edge emanating from it. It coldly chuckled, "Close the door before we talk?"
"Young man, is this the attitude you want to discuss?"
Chen Shuangbai was not provoked by his words, and her expression did not even change. She simply said, "Senior Divine Ability very powerful. If we don't take some measures, it will be difficult to talk."
"The junior will now draw the line."
Chen Shuangbai simply said, "Please release my True Lord's body as compensation... This junior can offer the body of a Feathered Serpent to Senior."
" Feathered Serpent?"
Yajie was taken aback at first, then sneered, "Pure-blooded Feathered Serpent?"
"Mixed blood."
"The pure-blooded Feathered Serpent is now extinct."
"Then what nonsense are you spouting here?!"
The Green Chi became enraged, its expression filled with undisguised mockery and anger.
His eerie vertical pupils stared coldly at Chen Shuangbai, the six pure white rings in his pupils slowly rotating, radiating a captivating and oppressive aura.
"Youngster, what do you take me for? You think you can just fob me off with some mixed-blood beast?"
The sound from the Yajie grew increasingly cold.
"Get out of my way, or I won't hesitate to crush you, you bug!"
The light rain drifted down, falling like pearls in the mist, forming curtains of rain, within which a cunning and sinister aura gathered.
Chen Shuangbai lowered her eyes slightly and said only, "So there's nothing to discuss?"
The only response he received was the increasingly heavy blue rain.
The rolling light blue water shimmered in an instant, spreading out in a vast and mighty torrent. A terrifying killing intent descended upon Chen Shuangbai, and then a clang was heard.
A burst of purple-gold radiance erupted, and a golden-haired boy with purple eyes suddenly appeared in front of Chen Shuangbai. He raised his two small hands and waved them toward the sky, causing endless spiritual light to explode. A dragon claw formed from azure rain collided with the floating purple-gold light.
Chen Shuangbai took a step forward and drew the [ Foot-Long Silk ] from his waist with his right hand.
The dazzling golden-white light was compressed to its limit, and then burst forth like snowflakes, instantly cutting off the drifting blue rain in the passageway.
The distance of several feet was as if nothing had happened; the Sword Intent formed from golden-white light had already reached the Green Chi.
A rich, light blue shimmering light rose before it, transforming into a Six Directions Azure Rain Water Shield.
A crisp, clear sound, like metal striking stone, rang out.
The water shield trembled violently, splashing countless blue-green water droplets, but it did not shatter; only a few fine cracks appeared on its surface.
Through the mottled water shield, Chen Shuangbai's gaze calmly met the eerie vertical pupils, without a trace of fear.
Yajie's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, clearly not expecting Chen Shuangbai's sword to be so powerful, capable of shaking his protective Divine Ability.
Although he is currently occupying someone else's body, his soul is still at the level of Spirit Transformation.
Even those at the same level in the Nascent Soul Late Stage would find it difficult to shake his Divine Ability.
