Since Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal successively killed Xuanchengzi Net Chan Dao, the Renewed Net Sect of Luochan Dao, Beiku, the sect leader of the Compassionate Chan Way, True Lord Jinxuan, the sect leader of the Arrayed Mystery Sect, and Heaven-Hating Devil Lord, the supreme elder of the Parting Hate Gate, four late-stage Nascent Soul Late Stage have perished in the entire sea in less than a year!
What's even more astonishing is that these people all fell victim to the same person!
It is said that if it weren't for Hong Qing, the Dao Child of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, who invited Azure Cloud Sword Lord, the leader of the Sword Alliance, to swallow his pride, True Lord Baishi of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect... probably wouldn't have survived that day either.
The Vast Waves Alliance undoubtedly emerged as the ultimate winner in this conflict among the Six Alliances in the cultivation world.
In just a few months, the cultivation world within the country has been peaceful and tranquil, presenting a rosy and prosperous scene.
During this period.
All the sects, large and small, whether mainstream or not, immortal sects or unorthodox sects, sent envoys of considerable rank to the Jade Spring Sect.
They did not seek an audience with the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, but only requested an imperial decree from the Jade Spring Superior Sect, granting their clan a chance to regroup within the Vast Waves Alliance's territory and perpetuate their lineage.
In no time, the threshold of the Jade Spring Sect was worn down by the crowds.
Almost every Golden Core True Person in the Jade Spring Sect, whether they had a powerful background or not, received a ton of gifts.
All I ask for is the protection of the higher sect.
As for the Sword Alliance...
The Sword Alliance never had much ambition.
After annihilating the Blood Sea Dao and the Lifeless City of the Ancient Kingdom, his family had no further ambitions. Now that the country is at peace, his family has ceased its previous large-scale activities.
Not to mention, the Sword Alliance and the Vast Waves Alliance have always had a good relationship and cooperated frequently, always working together towards the same goal.
In this situation, while the Holy Origin Alliance and other demonic alliances were causing trouble, the disciples of the sects who had fled to the sea because their mountain gates had been destroyed also began to stir.
They sent messengers with generous gifts to pay homage to True Lord Jihai, hoping to see if they could return to their homeland.
certainly.
These trivial matters were not of concern to Chen Shuangbai, the great contributor.
At this very moment, this great hero is in a palace somewhere in [ Azure Firmament Heaven ].
Vast Sea Elder, dressed as a highly accomplished Daoist master, held a cypress staff in his hand, striking it and the sound echoed in the hall. The boundless spiritual energy flowed continuously along the array patterns, eventually transforming into mysterious patterns that were drawn onto the streamlined flying shuttle before them, which resembled a fish swimming in the sea and shimmered with golden and white spiritual light.
Chen Shuangbai stood in the palace, his gaze fixed on the flying shuttle that was taking shape.
This flying shuttle doesn't seem to be used for offensive purposes like cultivators do; rather, it's used to carry people.
Its body is streamlined, and its surface is engraved with dense array patterns that shimmer with light, like countless glittering silver scales that are inlaid without any omissions, layer upon layer, interlocking with each other, providing not only extremely exquisite defense, but also a sense of endless vitality.
This Spirit Treasure is extremely knowledgeable and knows a great deal.
He is currently refining weapons.
The goal is to forge a flying spirit Spirit Treasure capable of supporting long-distance flight and possessing a cyclical defensive capability.
Once the last array pattern was completed, the Spirit Treasure treasure breathed a slight sigh of relief. The layer of azure Divine Ability light on its body gradually dissipated, and it returned to its kind old man appearance.
"Is this... finished?"
Chen Shuangbai asked curiously.
Vast Sea Elder shook his head and said, "It can only be said that the initial refining work is complete. Next, it needs to be tempered with earth fire for forty-nine years, and then struck by heavenly lightning for thirty-six years before it can break through the shackles and advance to the level of Spirit Treasure!"
Chen Shuangbai was slightly surprised, but then felt it made perfect sense.
That's right. Just for crafting this flying shuttle, most of the demon bodies of the demon lords he previously provided to the sect were used here... And that's not all, this thing even emptied out most of the Jade Spring Sect's treasury.
This clearly demonstrates the immense effort required to forge a spiritual Spirit Treasure!
As for why this substance was created...
This is naturally what the successive generations of the Jade Spring Sect have wished for!
Each person and their spirit strolled to a pavilion in front of the hall.
With a wave of his sleeve, Vast Sea Elder conjured a pot of spirit wine, two jade cups, and several plates of exquisite spirit fruits and pastries on the stone table in front of him.
The spirit first poured a cup for Chen Shuangbai, then poured one for itself, before raising its cup and saying with a smile, "Please!"
Chen Shuangbai picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and looked slightly surprised.
It's not some kind of magical wine, just ordinary apricot blossom wine.
Seeing the sword immortal's puzzled expression, Vast Sea Elder laughed and said, "When my master was still alive, he liked to drink and play chess with me and the Red Jade Person... Over time, I came to like the taste."
"Don't underestimate this wine; I buried it myself, jar by jar!"
Chen Shuangbai was taken aback.
The owner of this Spirit Treasure treasure should be the founder of the Jade Spring Sect, Jade Spring High Person.
The two drank for a while.
Chen Shuangbai finally asked, adhering strictly to the etiquette of a junior. "Senior... I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time. I wonder if you could answer it for me?"
Vast Sea Elder nodded with a smile.
Chen Shuangbai was relieved and asked:
"Logically speaking, the lineage of my Jade Spring Sect has been passed down for over three thousand years, with an orderly and unbroken tradition... So why don't I see a single senior member still alive?"
Throughout history, among all the great sects and schools of immortals and demons, those with orderly lineages, which sect doesn't have a few patriarchs hidden in their secret realms and blessed lands, some cultivating in seclusion, some prolonging their lives, and others locking away their life force?
But when they arrived at the Jade Spring Sect, not a single patriarch appeared!
Even when Hentian attacked Jade Spring Sect and was about to destroy the Jade Spring Sect's lineage, no patriarch or master came forward to save the sect's legacy!
Chen Shuangbai considered that perhaps the sect had not informed him.
But upon closer reflection, it shouldn't be like that.
Even someone as powerful as Vast Sea Elder has already told me, so how could he possibly be hiding any secrets from me?
Therefore, he couldn't figure it out for a long time, and only asked the question today after everything was settled.
Vast Sea Elder seemed to have expected this, and was about to speak, but then suddenly looked outside the pavilion as if he had sensed something.
First came a faint, cool fragrance of plum blossoms, then a flurry of pure white plum blossoms appeared out of nowhere, gathering from outside the pavilion. Gradually, a woman emerged from them, dressed in plain clothes, wearing a jade hairpin, her sleeves fluttering in the breeze, her face beautiful and serene, with a sprig of winter plum blossoms tucked at her waist.
Chen Shuangbai stood up and greeted him, " True Lord."
This person was none other than True Lord Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "I dare not accept such a salute from a great contributor to my clan!"
Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but smile.
After True Person Mei achieved the status of True Lord, her personality changed slightly. She became less aloof and more interesting, more amiable in her interactions with others, and more amusing in her speech.
After Ling Yuan reached the pavilion, he smiled at Vast Sea Elder and said, "Why are you drinking here alone, senior? Didn't you invite Ling Yuan?"
The old man laughed heartily, welcomed Ling Yuan into the table, and poured her a cup of apricot blossom wine.
The three drank together for a while before continuing their previous discussion.
Upon hearing this, True Lord Ling Yuan swirled the jade cup in his hand and sighed softly, "I should have let you know about this sooner... but it's not too late now."
Chen Shuangbai's expression turned serious as she said, "I'd like to hear the details!"
"You should know that the Patriarch, Jade Spring High Person, was a visitor from another continent, right?"
Chen Shuangbai nodded. This was something True Lord Qingchen had told him long ago, before he achieved the Golden Core.
"Our lineage originates from the Heavenly River Dao Lineage of the Eastern Radiance Continent. When the Heavenly River Dao Lineage encountered an unprecedented calamity, our patriarch, carrying a portion of the lineage, risked his life to escape to the secluded place between the two continents, where the heavens and earth meet, amidst relentless pursuit by the pursuers. Only after a near-death experience did he finally arrive in the Celebrated Splendor Continent!"
"After the Patriarch arrived at this place, his Divine Ability were already damaged and his lifespan was greatly shortened. Therefore, he took in several disciples, including the Second Patriarch, and carefully taught them for several decades before passing away peacefully."
Before his death, he left behind instructions, saying: --
"All my descendants should remember the bloodline we share and the lineage we uphold. If any outstanding talents emerge in the future, they must return to Eastern Radiance, seek out the relics of our ancestral temple, complete the lineage, and restore the name of the Heavenly River."
"This is my lifelong regret, and also my lifelong wish."
Be cautious and strive diligently.
