Profound Firmament Sect.
Inside the main hall of the mountain gate.
True Lord Xuanyuan was still somewhat dazed.
The siege launched by Net Chan Dao was a catastrophe for the Profound Firmament Sect, but Chen Shuangbai ended it with just a few sword strikes.
The True Lord Red Silk has fallen!
True Lord Baixiao's physical body was destroyed by Chen Shuangbai, and now only his divine soul is in the hands of this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal. As for the remaining demonic army, they scattered like birds and beasts.
A devastating disaster vanished in an instant.
True Lord Xuanyuan was caught off guard, but he also had to accept that his own group was indeed destined to become a vassal.
Chen Shuangbai and True Lord Suwen entered the place together, where they were greeted by the two remaining Golden Core cultivators of the Profound Firmament Sect, who happened to be Han Zhao and Zhao Shiyong, both of whom had some connection with Chen Shuangbai.
When the three of them first met, they were all Golden Core True Person.
But looking at it now...
Han Zhao and Zhao Shiyong are still Golden Core True Person cultivators, while Chen Shuangbai... has not only advanced to the Nascent Soul, but has even reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and can even compete with the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage, which is unattainable in their eyes.
Han Zhao recognized him clearly.
He simply stepped forward respectfully and bowed, saying, " Han Zhao of the Profound Firmament Sect pays respects to True Lord Xuhong and True Lord Suwen."
The words "Brother Chen" that Zhao Shiyong was about to say were cut off after Han Zhao uttered " True Lord." He could no longer utter them, feeling his lips and teeth go numb and his expression darkening.
Chen Shuangbai's gaze first fell on Han Zhao, and then on Zhao Shiyong was standing there blankly.
"Zhao..."
" Shiyong!"
True Lord Xuanyuan, fearing that the only remaining promising junior in his sect would anger Chen Shuangbai, growled in a low voice.
Zhao Shiyong then seemed to awaken from a dream, bowed deeply, and spoke with such utmost respect that not a single fault could be found:
" Zhao Shiyong... pays respects to True Lord Xuhong!"
A thick barrier had already separated the two of them.
Chen Shuangbai swallowed back the "Brother Zhao" that he hadn't quite uttered yet.
His expression was somewhat complicated.
But with just a turn of his head, he extinguished all these emotions, and all the past friendship he had with Zhao Shiyong vanished completely after that one sentence.
True Lord Xuanyuan sat to the side.
The sect leader of the Profound Firmament Sect relinquished his position, intending to let Chen Shuangbai take over.
However, Chen Shuangbai did not sit down immediately. Instead, he went straight to the point and said, "Since the Xuanxiao Sect intends to merge into my Canglan Alliance, then the territory of the Xuanxiao Sect in Zhao State will also be merged into my Canglan Alliance."
"Regarding the current predicament of the Alliance, my Vast Waves Alliance Leader True Lord Jihai, already has a plan. However, Fellow Xuanyuan, as the Sect Master of the Profound Firmament Sect, still needs to personally travel to Calming Waves City Wu Country Kingdom to meet with True Lord Jihai in person."
"That's how it should be."
True Lord Xuanyuan hurriedly replied.
Now, his Profound Firmament Sect is in dire need of rebuilding. One Nascent Soul has perished, five Golden Core cultivators have died, and countless disciples have been killed or injured.
The resources they had accumulated were exhausted in the forging of that Spirit Treasure, leaving them with a depleted foundation. To rise again, they would need the assistance of the Vast Waves Alliance.
Even if Chen Shuangbai hadn't reminded him, he would have personally gone to Calming Waves City to pledge his loyalty to the Profound Firmament Sect!
certainly.
These are all minor matters.
The most important thing, in fact, is the Spirit Treasure that the Profound Firmament Sect is going to present.
Several months later.
The Wu Country, Calming Waves City.
Inside the hall.
The Divine Ability powers of the four Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage cultivators— True Lord Jihai, True Lord Suwen, Chen Shuangbai, and Old Man Fish Pillow —had sealed off the inner and outer parts of the hall, ensuring that nothing inside could escape.
A beam of red and purple light silently floated in the center of the hall.
That's a drum!
This large drum hangs in the hall, its body a deep purple, with purple patterns painted on its surface, resembling thousands of purple lightning bolts or a strange beast with purple lightning on its head.
The drum, without any support, floated quietly in mid-air. Occasionally, when it rotated slightly, a purple halo would ripple outwards, striking the Divine Ability barrier set up by the four Nascent Soul True Lord around it and producing a dull echo.
Among them, the Old Man Fish Pillow was the longest-lived, and therefore he was also very knowledgeable.
The Profound Firmament Sect is renowned for its fire and thunder magic, so even though this large drum is not yet fully completed, it has already been named the [ Ninefold Heaven-Conquering Thunder Drum ].
After only a few glances, he remarked with a slight sigh, "The hide of a thunder beast... no wonder the Profound Firmament Sect has exhausted generations of effort yet still failed to completely refine this!"
The term "Thunder Beast" referred to several innate mythical beasts in High Antiquity times.
The spiritual material used for this drumhead is of such a high grade that the material used for the drum body must naturally be of a similar quality.
"Indeed, we are not yet successful!"
True Lord Suwen appeared to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but in reality, her seniority and lifespan were quite considerable. After carefully observing her with an air of composure, she remarked, "She's still missing a pair of drumsticks!"
A good drum naturally needs a pair of good drumsticks.
However, since this item was offered by the Profound Firmament Sect to ensure the continuation of the Vast Waves Alliance's lineage, the remaining forging... will need to be the responsibility of the Vast Waves Alliance.
certainly.
After taking out the item, they first discussed its ownership.
Among the various immortal alliances, the Vast Waves Alliance is considered relatively united.
The Jade Spring Sect, the Turbid Wave Pavilion Flower Washing Sword Sect each possess their own sect- Spirit Treasure to suppress the sect's fortune.
Especially the Jade Spring Sect.
[ Scarlet Yang Pure Truth Mountain-Suppressing Ruyi ] was carried closely by True Lord Qingchen, while [Fengzhen Zihao Chengming Xuantianmen] was carried by Chen Shuangbai.
These two High-Grade Spirit Treasure are unique, both domestically and internationally!
But these are two Spirit Treasure after all!
Even though the three families used to be very close, they weren't from the same family after all... No matter how close they were, there was still a layer between them.
Even in the mortal realm, there are instances of brothers fighting amongst themselves; how much more so for cultivators whose great power resides solely in one person?
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at the three True Lord out of the corner of her eye.
True Lord Jihai sat upright in the main seat, True Lord Suwen lowered his eyes, and Old Man Fish Pillow remained calm and composed...
As for the other sects within the alliance... none of them are qualified to get involved in this matter.
Chen Shuangbai did have some ideas, but with True Lord Jihai preceding him, he, as a junior, didn't feel comfortable speaking up for the time being.
After a while...
The Old Man Fish Pillow stroked his white beard, activated his magical eye to look at the drum, and slowly said, "It's missing a pair of drumsticks, so it's not yet complete; it's only at the level of Supreme-Grade Law Treasure."
"Several of our families also possess protective Spirit Treasure. Why not let this treasure be given to the alliance... Once this treasure has achieved its full potential and become Spirit Treasure, we can use it to suppress the alliance's fortune, what do you think?"
The others exchanged glances.
True Lord Suwen was the first to nod in agreement.
"That's good. If this drum succeeds, it will at least be Low-Grade Spirit Treasure treasure, enough to suppress the fortune of an entire alliance... Having it jointly managed by the alliance will prevent any discord between us."
True Lord Jihai did not rush to express his opinion, but instead turned his gaze to Chen Shuangbai.
The meaning is quite obvious.
This is to solicit his opinion, the Jade Spring Dao Child!
Chen Shuangbai's gaze shifted slightly, moving back and forth across the large drum, watching the streaks of purple electricity that occasionally appeared on its surface.
For a long while.
He then slowly said, "This arrangement is appropriate... to avoid damaging the harmony among our families."
But these drumsticks absolutely must be forged!
"Since this item will eventually belong to the alliance and be jointly managed by the alliance, then the spiritual materials for forging the drumsticks... will require each family to contribute some. Seniors, this request shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
"Good!"
