Ding ding ding!
Accompanied by the melodious sound of jade chimes, the disciples at the mountain gate and those standing on the flying boat in the sky, upon receiving the command, amplified their voices with their Law Power and shouted in unison towards the outside of the mountain gate:
"Opening the mountain gate -- Welcoming guests --"
The gate of the Jade Spring Sect, which was originally only a few dozen feet tall, was transformed by the Nascent Soul Divine Ability and suddenly became a hundred feet tall, bursting open with a bang.
It resembles the legendary gates to the heavens.
The women in green and the men in red stood on either side, scattering petals of various spiritual flowers or holding various ceremonial objects, serving on both sides. This not only demonstrated the majesty of the Jade Spring Sect, but also highlighted the importance attached to the visiting Nascent Soul True Lord.
The nascent Nascent Soul auras above the sky descended one after another.
The first to land was an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, riding a white deer.
The old man held a cane with a coiled dragon in his hand. When he landed, the white deer's four hooves gently trod on the white jade stone surface, as if stepping on water, creating gentle ripples. Clearly, it was no ordinary creature.
Chen Shuangbai's two disciples were also waiting for guests in front of the mountain gate.
Chen Fuguang forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked in a respectful yet assertive manner, "May I ask, True Lord, from which family do you come?"
The old man walked forward with a smile, and the white deer behind him, as if sensing his presence, brought him a jade box. He said, " Rogue Cultivator from the sea, known by the nickname ' White Deer Mountain Hermit '."
Chen Fuguang immediately understood, exchanged greetings, and ushered the person inside.
Now that he has achieved the Golden Core stage, many information channels within the sect have been opened to him, so he naturally has a general understanding of the Rogue Cultivator Nascent Soul at sea.
This White Deer Mountain Hermit is the seated elder of Ink Affinity Immortal Market.
" The Nascent Soul from the Sea, the White Deer Mountain Hermit — Nascent Soul the Golden Core Ceremony of the Jade Spring Sect, and on Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal's attainment of the Nascent Soul stage. I present a pair of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and a piece of Azure Sea Jade Coral!"
The master of ceremonies' disciple chanted loudly.
Following closely behind are the three major maritime immortal markets that are on good terms with the Jade Spring Sect and the Vast Waves Alliance.
The people who arrived were Gao Ling, Gu Nianzhou, and An Yuanzhen, whom I had met not long ago.
Gao Yi led the way in front of Gao Ling, bringing the elder behind him to Chen Fuguang. They introduced themselves, "Grandfather, this is my eldest brother, True Person Mysterious Radiance. He has always treated me very well."
Gao Ling smiled and looked at Chen Fuguang. He saw that the Golden Core True Person in front of him was dressed in golden robes and white armor. His eyes were bright and clear, with two points of brilliant light shining in his golden pupils. He was exceptionally bright and gave people a very sharp feeling. Gao Ling knew in his heart that he would definitely achieve great things in the future.
"As expected of the Sword Immortal's top disciple, his bearing already bears some resemblance to his master."
"My Yi'er is usually very mischievous, and I'm very grateful for your care."
Chen Fuguang, neither humble nor arrogant, cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you flatter me."
"This junior is of dull and dull talent; my success today is entirely due to the teacher's meticulous guidance... Please, senior, come inside and have some tea."
"Esteemed esteemed guests, please come inside for tea."
Gao Ling and the other two strode confidently onto the Rainbow Bridge and walked towards the Jade Soul Palace.
Behind them, the master of ceremonies loudly announced the congratulatory gifts from the three families of the Immortal Market at Sea:
" The Gao Clan of Jade Wave Immortal Market, True Lord Yuanling, congratulates the Golden Core Nascent Soul of the Jade Spring Sect and the Sword Immortal Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal stage. They present one hundred catties of Dark Radiance Divine Iron, one thousand catties of Deep Sea Mysterious Iron, ten jars of Azure Wave Spiritual Brew, one stream of Mystic Decree Primordial Water, and one hundred Golden Dragon Carp."
" The Gu Clan of Swan Immortal Market, True Lord Xuanshuang Jade Spring Sect, congratulate the Golden Core Ceremony of Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal Guanglin on achieving the Nascent Soul stage. They present this Nascent Soul: a hundred feet of Heavenly Silkworm Spirit Silk, three pieces of Honghu Feather Robe, three strings of thousand-year-old Tridacna Pearls, a Azure Sea Coral Screen, and three pairs of Listening Wind Spirit Sparrows!"
" The An Clan Ink Affinity Immortal Market, True Lord Wenhua, congratulate the Golden Core Elixir Ceremony of the Jade Spring Sect and the Sword Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal Nascent Soul achieving the Nascent Soul stage. They present the following gifts: a scroll of ' Ink Affinity Painting Manual,' a Xuan Song inkstone, ten ingots of century-old pine soot ink, a painting of green mountains and white clouds, and a pair of jade paperweights!"
These three families truly lived up to their reputation as merchants; their gifts this time were extremely generous.
Especially the [ Mystic Decree Primordial Water ] that the Gao Clan brought.
This water is a spiritual water that is the opposite of Divergent Flame. Whether one is cultivating Divine Ability or comprehending Law Technique, it is of great benefit to cultivators who study water magic.
It can be considered quite precious!
The onlookers, including Rogue Cultivator and representatives from small and medium-sized sects, were astonished and began to whisper among themselves.
"Wow! This floating market is really generous!"
"These things... I doubt even a mid-tier sect could easily produce them, right?"
What do you know?
"The relationship between these three immortal markets and the Jade Spring Sect is quite extraordinary... In recent years, hasn't the Jade Spring and even the Vast Waves Alliance been greatly distributing various spiritual resources from the sea? It's said that these three are the suppliers!"
"Not long ago, it was said that the three leaders even invited the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal to go to sea to help them. This relationship... tsk tsk, it's certainly not ordinary."
No wonder, no wonder...
Following that, Nascent Soul from various sects within the Vast Waves Alliance came to offer their congratulations.
The team from the Turbid Wave Pavilion was led by True Lord Qingyu, while the team from the Flower Washing Sword Sect was led by Liu Xinghe.
These two families are also the main forces of the Vast Waves Alliance and have always been on good terms with the Jade Spring Sect. Their gifts are naturally quite generous, but in reality, the Jade Spring Sect doesn't care much about the size of the gifts. They only care about how much importance the visitors place on the sect.
Finally, the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect Nascent Soul True Lord from Tianxing Xuanzong, Arrayed Mystery Sect, Lotus Temple, and the Sword Alliance came to offer their congratulations.
Although they might have conflicts with the Jade Spring Sect or be wary of Jade Spring, they couldn't afford to cause a scene on such an occasion, so they behaved properly and kept a respectable appearance.
The only somewhat unexpected thing was that the Nascent Soul True Lord from the Sword Alliance was none other than the long-absent True Lord Yuan Jun.
After being severely injured by the Crimson Flame Demon Lord wielding the [ Bing Sun Divine Lamp ], this female Sword Lord returned to the Sword Alliance to recuperate in seclusion. For this, the Jade Spring Sect sent her a fourth-tier spiritual resource as a token of their gratitude.
Decades later, this Sword Lord finally recovered and emerged from seclusion, his aura even more impressive than before.
In an instant, the Jade Soul Palace was packed with people. There were more than ten Nascent Soul Cultivator and dozens of Golden Core True Person, making the entire hall exceptionally magnificent.
And it was at this very moment.
Above the sky, another Nascent Soul broke through the void, giving rise to a patch of dark golden light.
All the cultivators in the palace sensed this vast aura and looked over. They saw that within the dark golden light was a hexagonal mystic tower, with six-colored mystic light rotating on its body, emanating an aura unique to Spirit Treasure.
After a short while, the master of ceremonies paused, but continued to sing loudly:
"Grand Elder of the Renewed Net Sect, True Lord Xiaoyun, Jade Spring Sect on the Golden Core Ceremony, and congratulate Sword Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal Nascent Soul. We present a pair of True Luo Profound Jade and a Six Harmonies Spirit Pearl."
Renewed Net Sect?
In an instant.
The Nascent Soul True Lord in the Jade Soul Palace all looked over, their gazes filled with amusement.
Everyone was well-informed and knew that not long ago, Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal had fought with Xuanchengzi, the Renewed Net Sect, at sea. Obviously, the two sides had no connection.
Oh dear... this family also sent people to celebrate?
Is this a slap in the face... or is there another motive?
Many people turned their gazes to Chen Shuangbai, but the sword immortal showed no surprise. He simply raised his hand, and a rainbow bridge appeared outside the mountain gate, personally welcoming the Grand Elder of the Renewed Net Sect.
