" Ling Yuan..."
Looking at the sword river formed by the vast frost and snow Sword Essence inside and outside the hall, True Lord Qingchen said with a hint of self-reproach, "Her advancement to the Nascent Soul was interrupted by external affairs many times, and later, because of me, she was so angry that she almost lost her Divine Ability powers."
"Although he was later nourished with precious pills and spiritual resources, his foundation was not as solid as before... hence his uncompromising attitude."
As he spoke, he tossed the [ Azure Parasol Tree Star Fruit ] in his hand into the air.
Then, True Lord Qingchen flicked his finger, and a five-colored light burst forth from his fingertip, transforming the star into a dazzling blue starlight, which he then used his Divine Ability to transfer into the hall.
The shimmering blue starlight passed through the palace gates and silently merged into the interior.
Before long, a dazzling, clear starlight gradually spread out from the vast sword river formed by the convergence of frost and snow Sword Essence inside and outside the hall.
The Sword Essence, which had initially been somewhat violent and restless, gradually began to subside.
The Sword Essence that had been colliding with each other gradually calmed down, stopped colliding, and instead converged in the same direction.
The somewhat discordant sounds of falling snow and the clanging of swords inside the hall gradually faded away.
Chen Shuangbai observed this and inwardly admired it.
"As expected of a wondrous object forged from the divine wood of Supreme Origin Azure Wood and transformed through the spiritual tree of Jade Parasol Tree... For Nascent Soul Cultivator, it is a top-tier cultivation resource."
Under the influence of this star essence, the restless commotion inside the hall gradually subsided.
One year later.
The frost and snow Sword Essence that had been swimming and spinning outside the hall, head to tail, returned to the hall like swallows returning to their nests.
A vast expanse of frost-like, colorful light gradually burst forth from inside the palace.
The palace doors were silently forced open.
True Lord Qingchen and Chen Shuangbai eyes and looked into the hall.
Then you see it in the very center of the hall.
The countless swirling frost and snow Sword Essence were like soft, white ribbons, converging from all directions and gradually condensing into a plum tree with gnarled branches and cracked bark!
The plum tree is lifelike and stands tall and graceful, its branches covered with white plum blossoms. The stamens are layered upon layered, and each blossom exudes a chilling aura and a sharp Sword Essence, possessing a breathtaking beauty.
On the branch of this plum tree, which radiates pure white light, a woman dressed in a pure white monastic robe leans gently against the branch.
Seemingly impacted by the combined energy of two Nascent Soul cultivators, the woman gently opened her eyes.
The traces of two white plum blossoms in her eyes shimmered slightly, and the wisps of hair at her temples swayed gently, adding a touch of languor to her aloof demeanor.
The woman landed gently on the ground, slightly raised her hand, and the plum tree behind her, formed from Sword Essence, transformed into specks of light, becoming a plum blossom with a few green leaves, which hung around her waist.
The woman stepped forward, bowed to True Lord Qingchen, and said, "Senior Brother, Ling Yuan has succeeded!"
It was none other than True Person Mei.
Oh no, now he should be called True Lord Ling Yuan.
Qingchen, unusually serious, stepped forward to help his junior sister up, his eyes filled with relief.
"After many twists and turns, the three of us, fellow disciples, have finally all entered the Nascent Soul realm..."
"What Master said back then has come true."
Chen Shuangbai was not very familiar with the connection between these three people.
But seeing the current situation, it seems that the bond between the three siblings is truly genuine.
The two students exchanged a few words.
True Lord Qingchen then pointed at Chen Shuangbai and said, "Junior Sister, we owe a great debt to our sect's Daoist Dao Child for this trip!"
True Lord Ling Yuan looked over with her clear black and white eyes, smiled gently, and said softly, "I am now in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, while Dao Child is in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage... Logically speaking, I should be the one paying my respects to you, senior."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai was immediately startled.
He quickly dodged to the side, avoiding True Lord Ling Yuan's feigned bow, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no!"
"You are my teacher, and I am your disciple. How can a teacher bow to his disciple?"
Seeing Chen Shuangbai's avoidance, True Lord Ling Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, covering his mouth. " Dao Child, there's no need to be so nervous. I was just joking."
Chen Shuangbai breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and cupped his hands, saying, " True Lord, please don't make fun of your disciple anymore."
"Although I was fortunate enough to reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage ahead of others, I will always be a junior in front of my three masters."
His words softened the gazes of both True Lord Qingchen and True Lord Ling Yuan.
Since Chen Shuangbai rose to prominence and repeatedly demonstrated his talent, the three decision-makers of the Jade Spring Sect, Qingchen, Jihai, and Ling Yuan, have noticed his extraordinary abilities.
This further convinced them that he harbored other great fortuitous opportunity.
But why... did the three of them never question it, and even repeatedly entrust him with the power of the sect?
It's all because of Chen Shuangbai's attitude!
Sincere and genuine, he regarded the Jade Spring Sect as his support and always maintained a sense of awe for his sect.
The three of them talked for a while longer.
Chen Shuangbai could tell that the two teachers seemed to have something else to discuss, and since it was inconvenient for him, a junior, to be present, he made an excuse and turned to leave the main hall.
Watching his Daoist Dao Child depart, Qingchen slowly withdrew his gaze, saying with considerable satisfaction, "Junior Sister, it seems that... our judgment was correct."
True Lord Ling Yuan nodded slightly and smiled, "It is precisely because of this Daoist Dao Child blessed with great fortune who entered our sect that our sect has reached its current golden age!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
The deafening sound of war drums converged from all directions of Sunken Jade Valley.
One by one, warships rose slowly, and disciples landed on them, gradually forming a massive fleet around the three giant warships in the center.
These flying boats, with their banners fluttering and their lights gleaming, looked just like a large army setting off for war.
"Move out!"
With a command given, the vast fleet of flying ships began its journey towards the State of the Zhao Kingdom, giving the impression of a migrating black bird.
As Chen Shuangbai recovered from her injuries, the Vast Waves Alliance's "ambition" began to swell.
The Heavenly Star Alliance dares not make a move now.
However, the Vast Waves Alliance's strength has now expanded to almost the highest in the cultivation world, so the Nascent Soul in the alliance discussed taking this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the territories of Net Chan Dao and Orthodox Mystery Alliance.
Chen Shuangbai stood before the Jade Soul Palace, True Person Yuchuan Ding Chengyu of Jade River landed and bowed, saying, " Dao Child, the armies of the Qian Kingdom and Wu Country have already set off. Both armies will directly pass through the territory of the Yong Kingdom and then enter Zheng Kingdom to launch a direct attack on the Orthodox Mystery Alliance."
"Only..."
"Just what?"
Chen Shuangbai asked.
Ding Chengyu replied truthfully, " The Turbid Wave Pavilion and the Flower Washing Sword Sect are worried, and the Heavenly Star Alliance will be dissatisfied."
After all, they had to pass through the territory of the Yong Kingdom.
Moreover, the Vast Waves Alliance's current ambition to unify the seas is truly causing considerable concern among the other major sects... The Heavenly Star Mystic Sect has always considered itself a righteous sect; how could it not have its own thoughts?
Chen Shuangbai showed no reaction, only saying, "There's no need to worry. My family resolved the crisis for his Heavenly Star Mystic Sect last time. If he dares to make any moves now, he'll be cutting himself off from the public eye."
Despite saying that, Ding Chengyu still had some worries.
Seeing his own Dao Child so calm and composed, the unease in his heart gradually subsided. After bowing slightly, he rode away in a beam of light.
Not long after.
Several figures emerged from the hall.
Chen Shuangbai did not turn around, but simply instructed softly, " Zhanlu, you stay behind to guard the sect. Shenyang and Feiguang will accompany me into battle."
