Jade Spring Sect.
The disappearance of Nether Sparrow can be said to have eliminated a major threat to the Sword Alliance.
Everyone in the Sword Alliance was thrilled and deeply grateful to Chen Shuangbai for his help. They declared that they would write a book and erect a monument in his honor to ensure that his deeds would be remembered for generations to come.
But that wasn't enough; the Azure Cloud Sword Lord even sent someone to personally visit the Jade Spring Sect to express his gratitude.
The current turmoil at home and abroad has naturally attracted attention from all sides.
If it were a personal visit to express gratitude, that would be fine, but there's one piece of news... that's causing even more concern for everyone involved.
Not long after the Sword Alliance members left Jing Kingdom, rumors began to circulate through various clandestine channels, saying that the Sword Alliance was interested in forming an alliance with the Vast Waves Alliance.
Regardless of whether the rumor is true or false, at this sensitive time, it is in itself a piece of news that will stir up the emotions of major powers.
In an instant.
The overall domestic situation, though seemingly calm on the surface, is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
As for Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal Chen Shuangbai, who is caught in this storm...
He, on the other hand, stayed peacefully in his own secluded Grotto-Heaven.
[ Azure Firmament Heaven ].
Chen Shuangbai sat cross-legged in the hall, behind him was a dim world. Above the world, a faint Shadow of a comet was hidden in the deepest part of the night, with only a point of red light floating, like a blooming red cross!
Not long after.
The strange phenomena inside the hall dissipated, and the dim night vanished without a trace, replaced by light once more.
The sword immortal's eyes seemed to gleam slightly, as if he were talking to himself.
"Just as I expected."
"Since slaying that fiend, the Nether Sparrow Demon Lord, the insights gained have greatly aided my further understanding of the Way of the Moon Comet."
On the same day.
Chen Shuangbai and Zhu Ling manifested their Sword Intent and joined forces to kill Nether Sparrow Demon Lord, who had recovered his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.
This Blackfire Sparrow is extremely difficult to kill!
It possesses the bloodlines of the Ghost Chariot and the Primordial Peacock. Its three heads represent three chances to live. When it fought to the death, the slightly dim five-colored radiance it unleashed almost knocked the swords out of Chen Shuangbai and Zhu Ling's hands.
They almost suffered a major setback.
But at the critical moment, the power of the sword formation maintained by the three Azure Cloud Sword Lord fell again, ultimately causing this giant demon, who had broken free of its seal and roamed the seas and oceans in the medieval era, to perish in bitterness.
However, high risk is often accompanied by high reward.
To fight to the death with an ancient giant demon who once reached the Nascent Soul Peak is itself a tremendous trial for a cultivator's Dao Path.
The Moon Comet Luna) is a hidden star, Grand Yin star of the Moon, absorbing the malevolent energy of the Grand Yin, and governing destruction and the light in darkness.
The final gamble.
The great bird burned its essence and completely released its demonic nature. The primal bestiality and destructive will that erupted from it gave Chen Shuangbai something to gain from every time he thought about it.
"No wonder the older generation always said you can't work in isolation..."
Chen Shuangbai understood immediately, and with a flick of his right hand, three tail feathers emitting a faint blue light appeared in his hand.
To ensure the complete annihilation of this ancient behemoth, the Sword Alliance spared no effort, holding nothing back. As a result, the behemoth's physical body was almost destroyed on the spot, leaving only nine tail feathers.
The three tokens in Chen Shuangbai's hand were brought by Sword Lord Yuan Jun when he personally visited Jade Spring Sect to express his gratitude not long ago.
These three tail feathers are sleek and resemble those of Peacock, yet they are different.
At the edges, a layer of eerie blue flames burned slowly, while a faint dark pattern flowed across the surface, as if some ancient runes were imprinted within.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Shuangbai went to find Vast Sea Elder, the spirit of the Spirit Treasure.
Vast Sea Elder carefully stroked the three tail feathers, examined them closely, then stroked his white beard and sighed slightly, "These are True Spirit Demon Mark."
"Senior, what is True Spirit Demon Mark?"
Chen Shuangbai humbly sought guidance.
Because its original form evolved into this Grotto-Heaven, this Spirit Treasure could not leave it. In its early Grotto-Heaven, it had been dormant and repairing its origin. Now that it had an outstanding junior like Chen Shuangbai to learn from, it naturally shared its knowledge without reservation.
"Only True Spirit Demon Mark Demon Race Great Sage have cultivated to the Spirit Transformation stage and undergone many years of trials are qualified to inscribe their Divine Ability into the bloodline of their race, passing them down from generation to generation."
"Didn't this giant sparrow say before it broke free of its seal that its cultivation level had reached the Nascent Soul Peak stage?"
"This is one of the external manifestations after it activated part of the True Spirit Demon Mark within its body."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai's gaze sharpened slightly.
Both the Ghost Chariot and the Primordial Peacock were renowned true spirits from High Antiquity times.
The Nine-Headed Ghost Chariot rides on fire, plunging into the night. It is a ferocious bird, and there are even rumors that wherever it passes, the land turns to scorched earth.
The Primordial Peacock is born with the power to wield Five-Colored Divine Light, and is said to be able to brush away anything and be impervious to all spells.
Although it has now become extinct.
The Nether Sparrow Demon Lord inherited part of the bloodline of these two beings, yet he was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Peak with this incomplete bloodline, which shows just how profound the foundation of these two true spirits was.
After figuring this out, Chen Shuangbai felt secretly fortunate.
The Sword Alliance's all-out effort to annihilate this fiend was indeed the right move!
"In your opinion, senior, how should I deal with these three tail feathers?"
Chen Shuangbai asked.
Vast Sea Elder stroked his beard and pondered, "It's nothing more than refining and forging Law Treasure."
"If you're going to refine it, it's not appropriate for you, as a human cultivator, to refine it directly. It's best to find a spirit beast with the same or similar bloodline to refine it, as this can greatly enhance its potential."
"As for Law Treasure... we still need to gather a considerable amount of spiritual resources."
As they spoke, Vast Sea Elder seemed to have thought of something and looked at Chen Shuangbai, asking, "I remember you have a Cold Moon Golden-Plumed Eagle under your command?"
Chen Shuangbai blinked.
yes!
He was confused and didn't think of this for a moment. He sent a stream of Law Power out of the Grotto-Heaven, and soon a bluish-white figure was guided in from outside the Grotto-Heaven by Vast Sea Elder.
"My lord!"
Feiguang was cultivating within the outer sect when suddenly his master sent him a decree summoning him into the Grotto-Heaven, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
Chen Shuangbai gestured for him to calm down.
Chen Shuangbai has always been optimistic about Feiguang.
However, his progress was so rapid that no matter how hard Feiguang tried to catch up, he was always one step behind.
Now that he has this opportunity, he is naturally willing to take it, but he is also being cautious.
"Senior, it is true that my spirit beast is also of the avian lineage."
"The chances of tracing Feiguang's bloodline back are slim, but Feiguang's zodiac signs are water, wind, and ice, while Ghost Chariot or the Primordial Peacock belong to the dark and fire elements. Could there be a conflict between them?"
"Is it too risky to refine it rashly?"
