The precious pool is shrouded in mist.
Chen Shuangbai stepped out of the pool and looked down at her chest.
The wound that Xuanchengzi had pierced with the golden white dagger, the mottled cracks that had spread in all directions, had now completely healed, except for a few streaks of golden white that had not yet faded away.
He rose from the pool, knocking aside the pearl-like spiritual energy, and casually picked up the lapis lazuli robe that had been prepared beforehand, draping it over his shoulders.
It seemed that a sudden burst of inspiration within the hall had drawn the attention of those outside.
Then a female cultivator with a crescent moon holding a dewdrop between her brows walked in; she was none other than his Mystic Sea Avatar, Zhanlu.
Zhanlu watched as her true self emerged unharmed from the pool, her eyes brightening slightly. She then knelt down and said gently, "Welcome back, Your Excellency! You have fully recovered from your injuries and are emerging from seclusion!"
Chen Shuangbai walked straight past her and headed towards the outer hall.
As he walked, he asked, "How long has it been since I went into seclusion to heal my injuries?"
Zhanlu followed slowly behind, replying, "It hasn't been long, only about thirty years."
More than thirty years...
For a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a lifespan of a thousand years, this is indeed not a long time.
Chen Shuangbai was actually aware of the situation.
after all.
Even if a Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Ability cultivator manages to survive a full-force attack and recover later, the wounds will still require considerable time to heal.
"Has anything important happened within the sect these past few days?"
Even though he could freely probe Zhanlu and Shenyang's memories, Chen Shuangbai generally wouldn't do so easily.
Chen Shuangbai sat upright inside the hall.
The Great Yin Divine Ability gradually emerged from behind his head, transforming into fluttering snowflakes, and stalks of Glazed Glass frost grass sprouted beneath his feet, accompanied by the sound of Glazed Glass shattering on the ground.
Zhanlu only mentioned the important parts.
It's really not a big deal.
He was in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage when he wielded Sword Intent and killed Xuanchengzi, Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.
This move has truly shocked both domestic and international audiences!
The current situation, both domestically and internationally, presents an unusual and eerie calm.
For those practicing cultivation, this is a rare golden age for spiritual practice.
For those who seek to revise... this seems rather strange.
"When you first went into seclusion, many immortal sects and Lineage came to visit, saying they wanted to pay their respects to you, the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal."
"All sorts of rare treasures and spiritual resources are being sent to our sect like they're free..."
This was exactly what Chen Shuangbai had expected.
Whether at sea or at sea, apart from the major sects, the other sects or cultivation Lineage are extremely adept at changing sides at the slightest provocation.
This is not surprising.
"Have they all been sent back?" he asked.
Zhanlu nodded. "I have met with them all one by one."
"Those I wasn't particularly close to before, I politely declined their gifts. But those I was closer to... like the Azure Wave Gao Clan, who were your fourth disciple, as well as the gifts from several other immortal sects and cultivation Lineage that were close to my family in the past, I accepted them all."
Zhanlu is the spiritual wisdom born from his spirit residing in his life palace.
Therefore, to some extent, Zhanlu's decision was Chen Shuangbai's decision.
This is not surprising.
Not long after.
His four disciples were then summoned.
This [ Azure Firmament Heaven ] is not open to anyone who is not True Disciple, but these four are all his inner disciples under the Jade Spring Dao Child, so they have long been listed as True Disciple and can freely enter and leave the Grotto-Heaven.
"Disciple greets Master!"
Congratulations, Master, on your successful recovery and completion of your seclusion!
The four disciples bowed before the hall, their bodies radiating Divine Ability light. It was clear that they had never slackened in their cultivation over the years, and their practice had made considerable progress.
Chen Shuangbai activated her divine eye and looked at each one.
The eldest disciple Chen Fuguang, was in the Middle Golden Core Stage, while the second disciple Chen Yazhen, and the third disciple Lu Xiangyuan, were both in the Early Golden Core Stage.
All three possess solid auras and stable Divine Ability.
As for the fourth disciple, Gao Yi.
Unlike the previous three disciples.
Chen Fuguang pursued a path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, while Chen Yazhen and Lu Xiangyuan used whatever was useful. The fourth disciple Gao Yi, revered his master's swordsmanship and possessed a Sword Pill, thus pursuing a pure sword cultivation path.
Gao Yi stood ramrod straight, dressed in a light blue robe. He was handsome, tall, and elegant, with a plain blue Law Sword hanging at his waist.
However, it looks more like decoration, since his Qinwater Sword Pill is usually kept in his Dantian for nurturing.
" Foundation Establishment Late Stage?"
Chen Shuangbai asked with a smile.
Gao Yi smiled, "Master's eyes are truly discerning, yet this disciple is already in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and is gradually approaching the threshold of Sword Essence."
"Oh?"
Chen Shuangbai's eyes gradually brightened, revealing her true pupils and allowing her to see the condition of the four disciples' bodies clearly.
The Sword Pill Qinwater Sword Pill hovered in Gao Yi's Dantian, its surface swirling with a layer of pale blue Sword Qi, like flowing water, as if a dragon were swimming freely in a stream.
He has indeed almost reached the threshold of Sword Essence!
"Good."
Chen Shuangbai withdrew her gaze, a hint of approval on her face.
Compared to his senior brothers and sisters, Gao Yi's aptitude was actually far inferior.
But this child had the advantage of a good family background, and was also diligent.
Over the years, the Gao Clan has sent spiritual resources to Jade Screen Peak every month to support his cultivation. In addition, he obtained this Sword Pill when he was Qi Refining, and he practiced swordsmanship diligently day and night, which is why he is so powerful today.
What Chen Shuangbai didn't expect was that he might actually achieve Sword Essence before reaching the Golden Core.
I thought about it.
Chen Shuangbai flicked her finger and pointed it towards Gao Yi's brow.
A beam of golden light descended, entered his brow, and transformed into the shape of a bird poised to take flight.
Gao Yi felt a surge of profound sword intent emanating from his sea of consciousness.
He immediately bowed down again. "Disciple thanks Master for bestowing upon me the Sword Intent!"
Chen Shuangbai then said, "When I achieved my Sword Essence, it was by observing True Person Mei's Sword Essence."
"Don't be impatient for quick success just because you've reached the basics; instead, you need to calm down and hone your foundation even more."
"The more solid the foundation, the smoother the process of condensing Sword Essence will be in the future."
"Yes!"
Chen Shuangbai could tell that Gao Yi was almost ready to go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.
He paused for a moment, then added, "Don't rush to advance to the Golden Core stage. Go practice your swordsmanship in the mountains and rivers. Once you've grasped the Sword Essence, then return to your sect for secluded cultivation and advancement."
"This will be of great benefit to your future spiritual practice."
"Disciple understands!"
It wasn't just this fourth disciple; the cultivation of the three disciples above him also faced difficulties.
Chen Shuangbai gave instructions one by one, and the four disciples received them with joy.
Chen Shuangbai didn't actually need to worry too much about the cultivation of these four disciples.
Now, they have gradually developed some goals for their own Dao Path.
What Chen Shuangbai had to do was reach out and pull them back onto the right path just when they were about to go astray.
After giving his instructions, Chen Shuangbai waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
The four bowed and filed out.
As Lu Xiangyuan was walking at the back, reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said with a grin, "Master, once the news of your emergence from seclusion gets out, those people outside will probably start to get restless again!"
Chen Shuangbai simply laughed and said, "Let's not worry about what others think. If you don't cultivate properly, I'll have Senior Sister Huang come and scold you!"
Lu Xiangyuan was immediately annoyed and ran out in a flash.
"Master, how dare you!"
After the disciples had all left.
He looked down and opened his hands, each palm radiating light.
A bird formed from a golden-white radiance, and a comet formed from a crimson cross.
Two Sword Intent resided simultaneously within one person.
"If it were anyone else, they would probably have been shattered by those two Sword Intent long ago... But I'm different, I have the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] protecting me!"
