Five more years passed.
After successively swallowing up one-third of the territories of Ning Country, Xu Kingdom, and West Kingdom, and destroying the three major demonic sects of the Celebrated Origin Sect, Transformation Sect, and Parting Hate Gate, and seizing most of their sect's foundation, they spent about fifteen years recuperating.
The Vast Waves Alliance has not only recovered from its severe blows, but has even begun to transform the benefits it gained into a solid foundation.
Especially in the Jade Spring Sect, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect has exploded in the past two years.
News of breakthroughs was reported from various cave abode both inside and outside the sect almost every ten days or so.
There are even quite a few Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment cultivators, who are practically guaranteed to achieve Golden Core.
As for the newly promoted Golden Core cultivators, there are now eight more.
Among them were disciples Chen Shuangbai didn't know well, senior and junior masters who were in seclusion, and junior brothers and sisters who had risen to prominence later in life.
In conclusion, after a period of accumulation, these newly promoted cultivators all have the potential to unleash their full potential and soar to new heights.
In the past.
Once Golden Core True Person, they can participate in discussions on important matters of the sect and have the right to make suggestions and vote on the sect's future development.
Currently, the number of Golden Core True Person alone is approaching twenty.
Chen Shuangbai and True Lord Jihai had a brief discussion and decided to open a separate hall, named [ Upright Gold Hall ].
Everyone in the hall was Golden Core True Person, and future discussions would be conducted among them, but their power was also limited.
Who can blame them when there are already five Nascent Soul Cultivator in the sect?
However, among these newly promoted Golden Core True Person, Chen Shuangbai's lineage is undoubtedly the most prominent.
The True Person Mysterious Radiance Chen Fuguang, the True Person Jade-Rinsing Chen Yazhen, and the True Person Autumn Pond Lu Xiangyuan.
These three Golden Core True Person are not only the youngest among all the Golden Core cultivators, but also the most talented. Most importantly, they achieved their Golden Core status step by step on their own, with an incredibly solid foundation.
Moreover, all three of them have achieved the first rank of Dan (a type of cultivation technique), and there is an 80% or higher probability that they will successfully advance to the Nascent Soul in the future.
It can be said that once Chen Shuangbai and his group of the Jade Spring Sect disciples retire...
The power of the Jade Spring Sect will most likely fall into the hands of one of these three.
The fact that all three Golden Core True Person were disciples of Chen Shuangbai Jade Spring Sect to sigh in admiration.
This Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal was not only exceptionally talented himself, but also first-rate in teaching his disciples.
Chen Shuangbai felt rather ashamed about this.
Aside from being guided by him when these four disciples entered the Dao Path, once they reached the Foundation Establishment, due to various reasons, they actually relied on themselves for most of their cultivation.
Only a small portion of the time was spent cultivating under the guidance and instruction of Shenyang, Zhanlu, and the elders within the sect.
Zhanlu smiled and poured a glass of Jade Dew for Shenyang and Chen Shuangbai, then picked up a full glass for herself and said, "I feel something's not right."
Chen Shuangbai looked at the Mystic Sea Avatar and heard her say, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
"Only with this solid foundation can we achieve such remarkable success today."
Shenyang downed the cup of jade dew in one gulp, then kept pouring more into his mouth, saying, "These children have achieved what they have today thanks to their own hard work and talent, but if they hadn't laid a solid foundation when they first started learning, they probably wouldn't have reached this point."
Chen Shuangbai glanced at him and said:
"A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts."
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
"The path of spiritual cultivation is ultimately one that must be walked by oneself."
"As for how far they can go, that depends on their own fate."
"Alright, alright, you two stop praising each other."
Zhanlu smiled and waved her hand, stopping the two from praising each other.
"In that case, why don't we hold a Golden Core Elixir Ceremony?"
As they chatted, Zhanlu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she made this suggestion.
Shenyang played with the jade cup in his hand, his eyes lighting up slightly.
"OK!"
Chen Shuangbai, unusually, did not object. Instead, after a brief consideration, she also thought it was a good idea.
"Our sect has risen again from the ruins, and stands even higher and sees even further than before!"
"Now, we really need to hold a grand event to inspire the younger generation of the sects, reassure the various alliances, and at the same time, suppress the malicious intentions of those rats who are secretly lurking."
Shenyang raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "From what you're saying... it seems the event isn't just being held within the Vast Waves Alliance's territory?"
"Um."
Chen Shuangbai strolled towards the outside of the hall.
It was at the cusp of dusk and evening.
Bright, multicolored lights gradually appeared on the various spiritual peaks within the sect, as disciples from the mountains rode flying magical Law Artifact, or as disciples from outside the sect returned to report for duty...
The young Dao Child, draped in a feathered robe, quietly walked outside the hall and stood by the railing.
As dusk deepened, the clouds on the horizon were dyed a brilliant golden-red by the setting sun, intertwining with various colored lights, weaving back and forth among the pavilions, towers, and palaces covering the mountains—truly a magnificent scene of immortals!
He looked at the scene before him and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Although a tall tree catches the wind, in this situation, no matter how much wind it attracts, it can't be as much as my tree!"
"Instead of being timid and hesitant, let's open up and let the whole country witness the current prosperity of my Jade Spring Sect!"
"For this Golden Core Elixir Ceremony, we need to send an invitation to all our acquaintances and friends, both domestically and internationally!"
Shenyang and Zhanlu followed him out, and upon hearing these words, they were both slightly taken aback.
Shenyang clicked his tongue. "My Lord, isn't this a bit too much of a stretch?"
"Not big at all."
Chen Shuangbai turned around, her gaze sweeping over Shenyang and Zhanlu, and slowly said, "This is an era of great strife. Blindly avoiding the world and keeping a low profile will often only lead to being looked down upon and despised."
" The Jade Spring Sect has been biding its time and developing its strength in seclusion for so many years. It's time to show them its true colors and let them see just how formidable it really is!"
After learning of this, True Lord Jihai remained silent for a moment, but instead of refusing, he agreed.
"You are Dao Child the sect, and your authority is second only to your senior brother, the sect leader."
"With the sect leader here, you're in charge of the sect... I agree."
"As long as the True Lord agrees," Chen Shuangbai replied with a smile.
True Lord Jihai was extremely satisfied with Chen Shuangbai, this Dao Child. He knew that Chen Shuangbai was the most reliable in his actions and understood that the days of the Jade Spring Sect being humble and subservient were over, and it was time to show its power.
He paced around the hall for a while, then suddenly remembered something and suggested:
"Coincidentally, the new batch of disciples in our sect hasn't been finalized yet... Why not combine these two matters and host a banquet for all the sects and factions, letting them see the grandeur of the Jade Spring Sect!"
"That's a great suggestion!"
