Chapter 909: Dahai Sword

**Main Content**

News from within the Gate of Worlds gradually began to arrive. The newly established Bureau for Otherworldly Affairs worked overtime daily to transmit translated information to the Nascent Soul Reverends of the Immortal Sect's Three Great Halls.

The world within the Gate of Worlds, as currently explored, is a barren place, almost devoid of life. What posed a challenge for the Immortal Sect was the opposing environment, drastically different from their home planet, Geomancy Star: extremely high temperatures during the day, reaching over a hundred degrees, and extreme cold at night.

Fortunately, the cultivators sent by the Immortal Sect were all elites, at least at the second stage of Body Forging. For Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, who possessed their own domains, this was even less of an issue. Their only concern was the extremely thin spiritual energy in that world, making it difficult to absorb spiritual energy from the alien environment for recovery. For this reason, Nangong Xuanyu and his team's exploration progress was slow, as they needed to conserve their spiritual power.

Besides them, Patriarch Qianxing also transmitted more information. Although the alien world's surface was barren, he used puppets to deduce the geomantic magnetism and seasonal patterns, discovering hidden planetary energy deep within the earth. However, their equipment was insufficient, and spiritual power was hard to replenish after depletion, so they dared not violently excavate the crust. Currently, Patriarch Qianxing's puppet avatar was searching for a passage into the deep underground of the alien world. Nangong Xuanyu and his team, on the other hand, primarily collected various climate data, rock and sand samples, and even plant specimens from the alien world.

Another year quickly passed. Chen Mobai initially remained stationed in the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, but seeing that there was no need for his Righteous Law Hall to deploy military cultivators to the alien world, he relaxed.

As the situation stabilized, on this day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan, then performed a Great Void Teleportation and arrived at the Shanhai Academy.

"Greetings, Reverend Chunyang." A square-faced, short-haired man with no eyebrows and a bushy beard was already waiting above the tallest stone sword. Seeing Chen Mobai emerge from the void, he respectfully greeted him in a soft voice.

"Principal Haocao, you are too kind. I am here today to retrieve the Ocean Stabilizing Sword." Chen Mobai returned the bow, and then both landed at the entrance of Shanhai Academy's Sword Pavilion. The last time he was here, Chen Mobai acquired the Violet Lightning Sword. Revisiting the place now filled him with nostalgia.

"I will wait downstairs. Please call me when you are ready, Reverend Chunyang." After unsealing the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, Haocao spoke, then left the Sword Pavilion. Chen Mobai thanked him. After watching him descend, he turned his gaze to a long, azure-blue sword.

The Ocean Stabilizing Sword was slender and just over three feet long. Its blade displayed varying shades of azure-blue, like a vast ocean rippling under the sunlight, both profound and clear. This top-grade fifth-tier flying sword was personally forged by Patriarch Yun Ya of the Weapon Dance Daoist Academy. Its blade was crafted from the essence of the Sea-Stabilizing Stone Sword from the White Stone Grotto-Heaven, its hilt from a ten-thousand-year-old pearl, and its guard from sky-blue ice jade. These three fifth-tier materials blended perfectly, making it resemble a silent and mysterious treasure from the deep sea.

Chen Mobai reached out and grasped the hilt of the Ocean Stabilizing Sword. Its smooth, warm touch made him feel as if gently caressed by seawater. His divine sense surged in, and he began to perceive the spiritual essence deep within the flying sword, activating the sword-training incantations. Soon, he found himself standing upon a vast, calm sea, without a single ripple. However, the surface of the sea where he stood was enveloped by a shadow. Looking up, his pupils contracted involuntarily. Above him, suspended in the air, was the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, enlarged ten thousand times. Compared to this colossal sword, his figure was like an ant standing on a vast mountaintop. The sword's tip pointed directly at him. Although it floated motionlessly in the air, Chen Mobai instinctively felt an uncontrollable sense of life-or-death crisis. It was as if he, along with the sea beneath his feet, was being suppressed by this gigantic Ocean Stabilizing Sword. Should there be the slightest ripple in the sea, or if he were to move even a single step, the divine sword suspended above would descend, bringing everything to rest.

"This junior, Chen Mobai of the Righteous Law Hall, has come at the Immortal Sect's command to unseal you, Senior, as the War of Expansion is about to commence." Chen Mobai's divine sense surged forth, conveying his intentions to the colossal Ocean Stabilizing Sword above. However, he received no response. Chen Mobai felt a bit helpless about this. The Immortal Sect's fifth-tier magical artifacts, lacking sufficient spiritual stones and true qi for nourishment, were generally set to a long-term dormant state. They would only awaken each time their supreme-grade spiritual stones, used for their sustenance, were replaced. This was precisely the situation with the Ocean Stabilizing Sword: although it had been unsealed externally, its sword spirit remained dormant as the designated time had not yet arrived.

It wasn't impossible to awaken it; if Chen Mobai's divine sense avatar were to move even slightly, it could trigger the Ocean Stabilizing Sword's suppressing instinct, forcibly awakening the sword spirit. But if he did so, Chen Mobai would first have to endure a strike from the sword! With his current cultivation, facing a fifth-tier sword intent directly would certainly lead to the destruction of his divine sense. The Immortal Sect's three top flying swords all possessed the power of 'One Sword Breaking Ten Thousand Laws,' the supreme realm of sword dao. Although he didn't know how much destructive power its instinctual burst would have in its dormant state, Chen Mobai had no desire to test it. Because if the 'One Sword Breaking Ten Thousand Laws' power were to evolve to its extreme, it could follow the shattered divine sense avatar and directly damage the origin of his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness. With these thoughts, Chen Mobai called out a few more times. Seeing that the Ocean Stabilizing Sword truly showed no reaction, he could only helplessly withdraw.

After his divine sense returned, Chen Mobai's main body, standing before the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, opened its eyes. He gazed at the azure-blue longsword in his hand, then involuntarily drew it from its scabbard. With a light swing, a crisp whoosh instantly echoed through the air. Fortunately, Chen Mobai had already sealed the surroundings with the Grand Unity Five Smoke Net, otherwise, the mere sword wind from his swing would have likely shaken the Sword Pavilion.

Chen Mobai held the Ocean Stabilizing Sword horizontally before his chest. He then proceeded to practice all the sword-training incantations related to this sword, which he had downloaded from the Immortal Sect's National Library prior to his arrival. The Ocean Stabilizing Sword could be said to have reached its peak upon its creation. However, it was unfortunate that lacking the experience of gradually ascending from lower to higher tiers, it had made no progress whatsoever over thousands of years.

The Ocean Stabilizing Sword had three successive masters: Patriarch Long Chuo, Patriarch Zhong Li, and the last one, True Monarch Dinghai. All three shared a common characteristic: they all originated from the Kunpeng Daoist Academy. This was quite normal, as the Ocean Stabilizing Sword was a water-attributed flying sword, and among all the Immortal Sect's Incarnation True Monarchs throughout history, only those from this particular Daoist Academy were more suitable. After reaching the Incarnation stage, no one would refuse to have a top-grade fifth-tier flying sword for self-defense. Among them, the last one, True Monarch Dinghai, achieved Incarnation by playing the 'Astonishing God Melody.' For this reason, his foundational cultivation was the weakest, and he lacked the talent to cultivate the 'Six Imperials Scripture.' Therefore, to continue advancing his cultivation after Incarnation, he chose to switch to cultivating the 'Can Tong Qi' of the Weapon Dance Daoist Academy, deeply comprehending this flying sword, and also adopting its name as his Daoist title.

This path proved to be the correct one. True Monarch Dinghai, with the aid of the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, attained the realm of 'One Sword Breaking Ten Thousand Laws,' compensating for his weak combat prowess. In his later years, he even used the Wind and Rain sections of the 'Six Imperials Scripture' as a foundation, hoping to create a grand method suitable for Incarnation based on his spiritual root talent, thereby paving the way for future generations. Unfortunately, his lifespan eventually ran out, and he passed away.

Chen Mobai was now considered the fourth master of this Ocean Stabilizing Sword, and the only one at the Nascent Soul stage. Thinking of this, Chen Mobai felt a slight sense of honor. Holding the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, he slowly infused his true qi, transformed into un-attributed spiritual power, into the sword body, performing the sword-training techniques passed down by the three Incarnation True Monarchs. Although there was no cooperation from the sword spirit, he could only refine half of it, but for him, it was sufficient.

After the refinement, Chen Mobai began to test the various profound abilities of the Ocean Stabilizing Sword. His gaze fell upon the sword guard of the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, which had a very unique, wave-like shape. This was meticulously designed by Patriarch Yun Ya during its forging: as long as one stood on the ocean while holding this sword, it could continuously gather water spiritual energy, making the practitioner's water-attributed cultivation techniques and sword arts twice as effective. It was said that originally, when Patriarch Long Chuo and the Spirit Venerable jointly cast the power of the Dharma Realm to augment it, they could even use the Ocean Stabilizing Sword to mobilize all the water spiritual energy on the entire Geomancy Star. The twelve ten-thousand-year-old pearls forming the hilt were equivalent to external miniature void spaces, similar to the 'Returning to Origin Secret Art,' capable of storing the full power of an Incarnation cultivator. When it was originally forged, these twelve pearls were personally refined by Patriarch Long Chuo.

By using the sword guard of the Ocean Stabilizing Sword to mobilize endless water spiritual energy, which would then be refined by the sword's master and stored in the pearl void spaces within the hilt, one would possess twelve times the reserved energy when facing an enemy. This would allow for easy crushing of virtually any opponent of the same cultivation stage. This discovery made Chen Mobai realize that truly, the inspirations of geniuses were interconnected. In this way, he could use the Ocean Stabilizing Sword as an excuse to introduce the 'Returning to Origin Secret Art' to the Immortal Sect. However, refining this secret art required Void-Ethereal Stones, which the Immortal Sect did not possess. But the 'Minor Void Talismans' he had previously prepared could allow cultivators to perceive the power of the void at lower cultivation stages. If one's talent was exceptional enough, they could even cultivate this type of external miniature void space during the Foundation Establishment stage. This meant another chapter could be openly added to the 'Void Scripture,' making Chen Mobai very pleased.

However, when his divine sense probed into the pearls of the Ocean Stabilizing Sword's hilt, he found them empty. This was normal; after all, the Ocean Stabilizing Sword itself was in a state of hunger. If there had been any stored energy, it would have consumed it long ago. On the pearl at the end of the hilt hung a golden sword tassel. According to the information Chen Mobai had researched, this was also a fifth-tier material, sealing within it a fifth-tier spell: 'Calm the Winds and Waves!' When cast, it could quell all kinds of raging tides and waves, and also pacify and stagnate the opponent's spells, true qi, and so on. This Ocean Stabilizing Sword was also considered to have been tailor-made by Patriarch Yun Ya for Patriarch Long Chuo, specifically to complement the characteristics of his 'Six Imperials Scripture.'

It was precisely because of this connection, coupled with Chen Mobai's influential backing, that the Kunpeng Daoist Academy made no objections when he took the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, as the sword was originally forged by the Weapon Dance Daoist Academy anyway. However, if it were someone else, say a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Jumang or Butian Daoist Academies, wanting to take the Ocean Stabilizing Sword, the five Nascent Soul cultivators of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy would never agree, no matter what.

After refining the Ocean Stabilizing Sword with all the incantations left by the three Incarnation True Monarchs and thoroughly comprehending its essence, Chen Mobai placed it back into its scabbard, crafted from a supreme-grade spiritual stone, and then expanded his domain to carry them away. Although he had ample resources, Chen Mobai didn't have many supreme-grade spiritual stones himself, so he saved them whenever possible. However, after he mentioned this to Haocao, the latter revealed a difficult expression.

"Reverend, though I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, could the supreme-grade spiritual stone that nourished the Ocean Stabilizing Sword be left to our Shanhai Academy?" Haocao asked. "In recent years, the Immortal Sect has significantly reduced financial allocations to our academies in preparation for the War of Expansion. Many swords in the Sword Pavilion have dimmed their spiritual light. Although the Ocean Stabilizing Sword's supreme-grade spiritual stone scabbard has largely been absorbed, if its remaining energy were dispersed, it could at least sustain our Shanhai Academy through the next twenty most difficult years. Our financial situation is truly dire; please forgive us, Reverend!" After Haocao finished speaking, his old face flushed slightly, clearly feeling genuinely embarrassed.

"I understand, I understand. It was my oversight." Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression showed understanding, and then, with an apologetic look, he took out the supreme-grade spiritual stone scabbard and handed it to Haocao. During all previous Nascent Soul meetings, Ying Guanghua had already stated that each person could choose one fifth-tier magical artifact, but the resources like spiritual stones and true qi for their nourishment would have to be provided by themselves. This clearly anticipated such a situation. After all, the War of Expansion was imminent, and the Immortal Sect's Three Great Halls were currently dedicating most of their energy to stockpiling war materials and resources. Allocations of spiritual stones to the various Daoist Academies and schools had been continuously reduced for the past decade. The Four Great Daoist Academies were relatively fine, as they had strong foundations and all possessed fifth-tier spiritual veins. But the Ten Great Academies were struggling to cope.

After receiving the scabbard, Haocao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was the first to know about Patriarch Baiguang's reincarnated body and was very aware of the profound background of the person before him. "I have some excellent tea that Cui'er sent over. Would Reverend care to join me for some?" After returning the scabbard to the Sword Pavilion and using a specially designed formation to disperse its spiritual energy among the myriad swords within the building, Haocao came downstairs to invite Chen Mobai for tea as a gesture of apology.

"Excellent, excellent. I happen to be fond of tea." Chen Mobai, giving Haocao due respect, joined him. They arrived at the hilt of a massive stone sword by the sea, where a pavilion offered a perfect vantage point to overlook all the waves and beautiful scenery of the ocean.

"These stone swords are truly extraordinary!" It was then that Chen Mobai discovered that the thirteen stone swords of Shanhai Academy each contained a terrifying energy that somewhat astonished even him, a Nascent Soul cultivator. "Legend has it that these thirteen stone swords were forged by the most ancient deities of Geomancy Star to suppress the Sea Demon God, who often unleashed boundless waves that submerged the land. Someone from an ancient Daoist lineage discovered their secret and built a sword-forging site here. The Immortal Sect also discovered this after establishing its rule." Haocao revealed this secret anecdote that Chen Mobai was unaware of. "Patriarch Yun Ya's artifact forging skills were unparalleled throughout history, and he barely managed to extract the essence from one of these stone swords to forge the Ocean Stabilizing Sword." "After Patriarch Yun Ya, because the Immortal Sect's number of fifth-tier magical artifacts far exceeded the number of Incarnation True Monarchs, naturally, no one was willing to expend the effort to refine these thirteen stone swords."

"Our Immortal Sect truly has profound foundations, but unfortunately, resources are insufficient..." Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this. If the Immortal Sect were to fully utilize its complete reserves, it's estimated that every Nascent Soul cultivator could possess two fifth-tier magical artifacts. However, more is not necessarily better when it comes to such items. A magical artifact that resonates perfectly with one's mind and can exert its full power is superior to an opponent covered in a full set of magical artifacts they cannot properly refine or use.

"'Within the Immortal Sect's Sword Arts, there is a diagram that records a method of sacrificing oneself to the sword. If I am unable to form a Nascent Soul in the future, I will, before my demise, infuse my essence into these stone swords,' Haocao revealed. He then added, 'One former principal of Shanhai Academy, a Nascent Soul cultivator, once served as the Deputy Head of the Righteous Law Hall.'"

The Immortal Sect's Sword Arts! As the source of all sword cultivation techniques, Chen Mobai, a peerless sword dao genius said to possess talent equal to Patriarch Baiguang, had yet to see it.

Chen Mobai asked, "Why would you do that?"

Haocao replied, "A sword needs a spirit. These stone swords only possess energy, not sword spirits. If my sword intent is pure enough, I can use this method to become the stone sword's spirit. Then, when the stone sword emerges in the future, it can directly become a fifth-tier artifact." Chen Mobai, however, didn't quite understand this. He felt this seemed like a concept from ancient Daoist lineages. After all, from the Immortal Sect's perspective, one's own self was paramount; even if cultivation failed in this life, one might still reincarnate and return to form a Nascent Soul and achieve Incarnation. But if one's essence were to merge with a stone sword, there would be no next life.

Chen Mobai asked, "In Shanhai Academy, how many seniors and former sages have taken this path?" Haocao, without concealment, replied, "To this day, all three Nascent Soul cultivators from Shanhai Academy have walked this path. Additionally, six other exceptionally talented sword dao geniuses, though they didn't form Nascent Souls, condensed pure sword intent and infused it into the stone swords." This matter was known to all Incarnation True Monarchs of the Immortal Sect throughout history.

"Have any succeeded?" Chen Mobai asked again. Haocao sighed and shook his head upon hearing this. "We don't know whether anyone has truly succeeded. This can only be known when the essence of a stone sword is extracted and forged into a flying sword."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai drank his tea, then walked to the edge of the stone sword, sensing its fluctuations with his 'Echoes from the Empty Valley' technique. Unfortunately, the stone sword was simply too massive and dense. His 'Echoes from the Empty Valley' could only perceive its surface and a portion of its interior. If a sword spirit had been born, it would undoubtedly be in the deepest core, and with his current cultivation, he couldn't possibly hear it. No wonder Haocao said that the answer would only be revealed on the day a sword was successfully forged from it.

"Have the past Patriarchs of the Immortal Sect ever visited here?" Although Chen Mobai couldn't do it himself, he thought that with the abilities of an Incarnation True Monarch, it might be possible to delve deep into the stone swords and sense if any of Shanhai Academy's past sages had indeed become sword spirits. "After the first principal sacrificed himself to a sword, every Incarnation True Monarch of the Immortal Sect would visit here. However, only three Patriarchs likely knew something, but they never informed our Shanhai Academy. Yet, they also didn't stop our descendants from continuing to sacrifice themselves to swords. I believe they must have sensed the presence of sword spirits." Haocao's speculation seemed quite reasonable. After all, if it were truly a futile endeavor, given the scope and vision of the Immortal Sect's Patriarchs, they would certainly not allow such a fruitless effort.

"Which three, may I ask?" Chen Mobai asked curiously.

"Patriarch Zhong Li, Patriarch Baiguang, and Patriarch Qianxing!" Haocao stated truthfully, and Chen Mobai's face showed enlightenment upon hearing it. Even among all Incarnation True Monarchs in the Immortal Sect's history, these three were ranked among the most astonishing. Zhong Li and Qianxing possessed supreme wisdom and talent, and Patriarch Baiguang was the pinnacle of the Immortal Sect's sword dao.

"After the War of Expansion concludes, if I have the opportunity, I will ask the two Patriarchs." Chen Mobai said casually, but Haocao, upon hearing it, thanked him with a moved expression. Haocao knew very well that if anyone in the Immortal Sect could inquire about this matter from the two Patriarchs, it would be none other than Chen Mobai. Furthermore, what Haocao most wanted to know was Patriarch Baiguang's insights from exploring these stone swords.

Next, the two drank another pot of tea. Chen Mobai asked Haocao about his feelings after failing to form a Nascent Soul. Haocao replied that the main reason was insufficient foundation. When attempting to form his Nascent Soul, Haocao had already unleashed his sword intent, achieving the Nascent Soul spirituality with the aid of a Soul Nurturing Pill. However, during the second stage of nurturing the soul, he clearly sensed significant deficiencies in his true qi, vital energy, blood qi, and so on. Therefore, after a brief attempt, feeling that success was impossible, he directly dispersed his Nascent Soul spirituality. Chen Mobai felt a bit regretful about this, as Haocao, having come from Shanhai Academy, had been somewhat hasty and aggressive during his Foundation Establishment. The sword art he cultivated was also not an Incarnation Grand Technique, and the true qi he could condense, both in quantity and quality, was only of medium-to-high grade. This was why he failed at the soul nurturing stage.

"Do you plan to switch cultivation methods?" Chen Mobai asked. Haocao shook his head. The reason he was able to cultivate to this stage was not only due to his genuine talent in the sword dao but also because his current cultivation method was almost a hundred percent perfectly compatible with him. If he were to switch, although his true qi might increase, his own sword intent would become less pure, or even weaker. In that case, he might not even succeed in the first stage of soul nurturing.

"How about this: I will transfer my qualification to view the Immortal Sect's Sword Arts to you. If you can use this Incarnation-level cultivation method to improve your own sword art and elevate it further, then forming a Nascent Soul should be no problem." After considering it, Chen Mobai felt that Haocao had shown him kindness and was also half a person from the Weapon Dance Daoist Academy, so he offered him this opportunity.

"This... I'm afraid the other two Great Halls might not agree." Though greatly tempted, Haocao knew that doing so would not conform to the Immortal Sect's regulations. After all, only the Immortal Sect Master was allowed to comprehend it; this had been an unwritten rule for many years. Even if it were relaxed, at the very least, it would require the Deputy Heads of the Three Great Halls.

"It's fine. When Gongsun Jielu comprehended the Immortal Sect's Sword Arts back then, he wasn't even the Deputy Head of the Righteous Law Hall. Furthermore, it's currently the period of the War of Expansion, so I believe an exception can be made for this matter. I'm sure Ying Guanghua and Qi Yuheng will grant me this favor." Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Haocao rose with a solemn expression and bowed in gratitude. Haocao knew that Ying Guanghua and Qi Yuheng would certainly give Chen Mobai face. With Chen Mobai saying so, the matter was essentially a done deal.

"Thank you, Reverend Chunyang!" After finishing his tea, Chen Mobai smiled faintly.

Just as he was about to chat a bit more, he noticed Reverend Yu Yi calling him. He immediately bid farewell to Haocao, then performed a Great Void Teleportation and left Shanhai Academy.

Reverend Yu Yi's call, naturally, concerned only one matter: she had successfully inscribed the fifth-tier Water Spirit Talisman using her 'Square Inch Book' ability. Upon receiving the news, Chen Mobai had just arrived above the Celestial Tome Academy when he saw a silver light flash opposite him, and Wenren Xuewei also stepped out from the void at the same time. The two exchanged glances, bowed to each other, and then conversed with Reverend Yu Yi, who flew up from below. After a brief exchange, they all got straight to the point. Indeed, when a professional made a move, it was extraordinary.

After Chen Mobai ground the ink, Reverend Yu Yi took up the brush, circulating her primordial true qi. On the talisman plate made from the heartwood of a sixth-tier Chinese Toon tree, her brush flowed like clouds and water, ink dancing gracefully. For Chen Mobai, having the Immortal Sect's top talisman master at work was also a rare learning opportunity. He activated his 'Square Inch Book,' recording every step of Reverend Yu Yi's movements. Her brush tip seemed to dance across the talisman plate. Although it was her first time drawing a fifth-tier Water Spirit Talisman, her technique was extremely skilled, the lines continuous like flowing water, every turn natural and graceful, as if the talisman brush possessed a life of its own. Chen Mobai watched as her snow-white wrist moved gently, the various strokes of the Water Spirit Talisman pouring from her brush tip, as if sketching vibrant and rhythmic paintings. It was like dragons and snakes dancing, powerful yet graceful.

"It's ready. Quickly, draw that innate water essence into it!" Just as Chen Mobai was still absorbed in the sight, Reverend Yu Yi's slightly breathless words reached his ears.

"It's done!?" Chen Mobai instantly snapped awake, looking at the exquisitely delicate fifth-tier Water Spirit Talisman on the talisman plate made from the sixth-tier Chinese Toon tree heartwood. He couldn't help but nod to Wenren Xuewei. Wenren Xuewei immediately took out the fifth-tier Grand Abyss Azure Pearl. Since it was nominally the Jumang Daoist Academy requesting Reverend Yu Yi's assistance, they naturally had to go through the complete act. Chen Mobai had already given her this in advance.

"I ask both Reverends to protect me during this process." Wenren Xuewei said. Extracting the innate water essence from it might be beyond her sole power, but she could leverage the power of the Chinese Toon tree. Chen Mobai nodded and unfurled the Grand Unity Five Smoke Net to help her suppress the Grand Abyss Azure Pearl's instinctive resistance. Gradually, under the effect of Evergreen True Qi, a stream of deep blue light was drawn from the Grand Abyss Azure Pearl. Reverend Yu Yi immediately raised the newly completed fifth-tier Water Spirit Talisman and aimed it at this innate water essence. The moment the two collided, a vast ripple of energy began to spread. Among those present, only Chen Mobai still had spare energy. However, since pure yang true qi inherently conflicted with water essence, he dared not activate his Pure Yang Immortal Robe.

It was a perfect opportunity to test out the newly acquired Ocean Stabilizing Sword!
