maritime.
Above the vast ocean, in the void, various colored lights intertwined, and one could vaguely see Nascent Soul Nascent Soul True Lord draped in Divine Ability light landing there, gathered in twos and threes, the various colors of light intertwined, making it exceptionally magnificent.
Across the void, the Nascent Soul cast their gazes downwards.
A billowing black wind arose out of nowhere between heaven and earth, and in just a few breaths, it transformed into a Hei Sha wind that swept across the land.
The sky was overcast, and the sea was shrouded in darkness. Only the rolling Hei Sha wind swept through, emitting a piercing shriek, as if thousands of vengeful ghosts were howling within it.
It is the only [ Spirit-Eroding Hei Sha ] in the sea.
This is during the storm season at sea.
[ Spirit-Eroding Hei Sha ] seemed to have emerged from nothingness. At first, it was just a wisp of black gas, rising slowly on the sea surface. In just a few breaths, it rapidly expanded and transformed into a rolling black wind that blotted out the sky.
Wherever the black wind passed, the fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish floating on the sea surface turned belly up and died instantly.
Those marine creatures that had anticipated this had already retreated to the deep sea or islands, quietly hiding away and waiting for the storm season to pass.
A middle-aged man in black robes tore through the void and landed in front of Chen Shuangbai, bowing respectfully, "Greetings, Sword Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal."
It was Gao Clan Nascent Soul True Lord of the Gao Ling, in the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Gao, you are too kind."
Gao Ling then looked up at the beautiful female cultivator beside the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, but her face was somewhat unfamiliar. He simply said, "I wonder who this is..."
Zhanlan smiled and said, "I am unworthy to be a guest elder of the Jade Spring Sect, with the Daoist name Xuanhai."
"Oh! So it's Fellow Xuanhai!"
The business acumen of the Gao Clan is almost ingrained in the actions of every member of the Gao Clan clan. Even though it was the first time Gao Ling had met Zhanlu, he was extremely talkative.
Before long, two figures broke through the void and landed in front of them.
The visitors were a man and a woman, both at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
"Gu Nianzhou of the Honghu Gu Clan Great Swan greets the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal!"
" An Yuanzhen of the Moyuan An Clan greets the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal!"
These three maritime immortal markets have maintained close ties with the Vast Waves Alliance and the Jade Spring Sect in recent years, with both sides benefiting from each other's influence. Naturally, Chen Shuangbai couldn't afford to be disrespectful to them, so he greeted them one by one.
Three more arrived, and with Chen Shuangbai and Zhanlu, there are now a total of five Nascent Soul True Lord.
With so many Nascent Soul gathered together, it naturally attracted the attention of the other Nascent Soul. However, when they saw that the leader was none other than the rising Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, they were no longer surprised.
Chen Shuangbai didn't care about the gazes of others. After talking with the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul from the three immortal markets for a while, his gaze returned to the rolling [ Spirit-Eroding Hei Sha ] below.
"I've heard that during this storm season, there will be a lot of [ Flowing Light Divine Sand ] and [ Voidbright Mystic Crystal ] appearing?"
Gao Ling immediately took over the conversation, saying, "According to our calculations, the previous storm seasons were relatively few... so this time it will definitely see an explosive surge."
Within the [ Spirit-Eroding Hei Sha ], special spiritual resources will periodically emerge, which is not unusual.
Among them, [ Flowing Light Divine Sand ] and [ Voidbright Mystic Crystal ] are the most precious.
[ Flowing Light Divine Sand ] contains the wondrous essence of the faint flow of cosmic light, which is of great benefit to cultivators in their enlightenment, while [ Voidbright Mystic Crystal ] is an indispensable spiritual resource for Law Treasure Spirit Treasure to be refined into a spiritual treasure.
Therefore, every year, Nascent Soul Cultivator hide in the void, trying to salvage something from this Hei Sha storm.
However, it often takes three to five years to get just a few grains.
This news spread like wildfire because the Eight Immortal Cities had predicted that the scale of this storm season would likely far exceed that of previous years.
Since the eight major immortal cities couldn't handle it, they simply spread the news throughout the seas and oceans, attracting many Nascent Soul True Lord who all landed in the void, thus avoiding any further complications.
Chen Shuangbai was invited by the Gao Clan, Gu Clan, and An Clan to land at sea and join forces to share the spoils of this storm season.
They were drawn to Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal's reputation as a killer, and at the same time, they were trying to curry favor with Chen Shuangbai.
Just as he was saying this, several more divine lights suddenly pierced through the void and descended.
Chen Shuangbai looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, smiling, "It really is a grand event; all the Nascent Soul with some reputation, both domestic and international, have come."
Gao Ling's gaze swept over them one by one, muttering to himself.
" Arrayed Mystery Sect, Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, Sword Alliance, Lotus Temple... and the Flood Dragon Clan..."
The Arrayed Mystery Sect sent Jixuan and Linyuan, the Sword Alliance sent Yuan Jun and a white-robed Sword Lord, and the Flood Dragon Clan... were familiar faces, including Bei Gongyou, Nascent Soul Middle Stage Beigong You, followed by two Nascent Soul Early Stage Dragons.
Seemingly sensing Chen Shuangbai's gaze, Beigong You concealed himself within golden auspicious clouds, with only the mighty power of a dragon emanating from him.
This was perfectly reasonable; although the cultivators glanced at it, they quickly lost interest.
What surprised them all was...
Whether it was the Nascent Soul from the Arrayed Mystery Sect, the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, or even the Flood Dragon Clan, they all seemed to be very hostile towards this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, landing far away from him, as if they were quite wary of him.
A rogue Nascent Soul in black, at the Rogue Cultivator stage, let out a soft "Eh?" and asked the fellow cultivator beside him, "These major sects... seem to dislike this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal quite a bit?"
The man chuckled and said, "If I were cornered and beaten up... I wouldn't like to be near the person who beat me up either."
"You... you've been in seclusion for too long, you're unaware of the current situation at home and abroad..."
The two spoke softly, but everyone present was Nascent Soul, with sharp ears and eyes, and they heard everything clearly.
The Arrayed Mystery Sect and the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect are alright, since neither of them has had any substantial conflict with the Jade Spring Sect or Chen Shuangbai so far, nor have they been ambushed and beaten up.
Baolin from Lotus Temple looked Beiku and remained silent.
Beigong You didn't utter a single word.
At this moment, the Hei Sha wind had become extremely dense, shrouding the entire sea area in complete darkness.
Suddenly.
The void trembled once more, and another beam of dark golden light pierced through the void and fell down.
Unlike the previous cultivators, this person's entrance was far more illustrious.
The golden light spread out, pushing away the Divine Ability powers of the Nascent Soul and revealing a clear and bright space.
Then, a person strolled out from among them.
This person was dressed in an upright manner, with a sword and Law Seals hanging at his waist, a golden crown on his head, and a black robe painted with many mysterious patterns. He was clearly dressed as a highly accomplished immortal.
Some people looked in the direction of the sound and were secretly surprised when they saw the person's appearance.
"Isn't this... Xuanchengzi, the sect master of the Renewed Net Sect?"
Under the watchful eyes of the assembled cultivators, Xuanchengzi remained composed, seemingly unconcerned by the wariness and hostility in their eyes. Instead, a smile played on his lips as he spoke in a clear voice, "Fellow Daoists, Xuanchengzi greets you."
