Half a year later, five bells rang out on every island where Jindan was located in the Venus Sea, and instantly the entire Seven Star Sea shook.
The bell rings five times, someone has achieved Nascent Soul!
After a lapse of thousands of years, the Seven Stars Sea has gained another True Lord Nascent Soul!
Because Venus Island is home to three Nascent Soul Lords, it has become the force with the largest number of Nascent Soul masters in the Seven Stars Sea, and it has become unrivaled in the limelight for a time.
On Venus Island, the sky is filled with auspicious clouds, vast auras fill the sky, the mountain gate is wide open, and all the foundation-building monks stationed on the island are mobilized to welcome visitors from all directions.
The birth of a Nascent Soul Lord will cause all the forces in the Seven Stars Sea Region that have Jin Dan to send their heavyweight members to pay their respects.
Therefore, the only people who can come are at least Zifu, many Jindan monks, and Yuanying monks may come to congratulate in person.
In this case, you still want to be a doorman without any strength?
It’s not Venus Island’s face that’s been lost.
Moreover, gift-giving is indispensable during this period, which also requires a discerning person to check, and then guide the guests to the corresponding seats based on the grade of the gift and personal strength.
So, there is a lot of knowledge in the banquet thing.
At the mountain gate of Venus Island, rays of light swarmed in from all directions, making it very lively.
At this time, a pale golden flaming meteor fell from the sky and landed in front of the late-stage foundation-building monk of Venus Island who was responsible for writing the gift list.
"Master Zifu?!"
The late-stage foundation-building monk exclaimed.
Then the flames dissipated, and a middle-aged man with pale golden eyes appeared in front of him with a woman with a delicate face.
"Dare you ask me your surname?"
The late-stage foundation-building monk said cautiously.
The middle-aged man smiled kindly and said: "Guo Yang, this is my little girl Guo Yun. I heard that the True Monarch Huaizhu broke through to the Nascent Soul, so I came here to congratulate you."
Yes, this person is Guo Yang. After coming out of the Cangyun Sect ruins, relying on the opportunities obtained from it and the transformation of the body by the Golden Crow Essence Fire, he finally succeeded in breaking through the Zi Mansion two years ago and became what he had hoped for before. The unreachable power of Zifu!
Even his daughter Guo Yun successfully established the foundation due to the relationship between the heaven and earth spiritual essence brought back by her father, and is now almost in the middle stage of foundation construction.
And it all stems from that man.
So after hearing that Huaizhu had broken through the Nascent Soul, Guo Yang immediately left the border and took his daughter to Venus Island.
Offer some gifts to show your appreciation, and take the opportunity to see how your benefactor is doing.
As he spoke, Guo Yang took out a treasure from his mustard bag, which was a precious Yang-type elixir he had found over the years and handed it over.
Upon seeing this, the foundation-building monk immediately put it away with great care, and then a monk in the middle stage of foundation-building behind him came up to ask.
"Master, please follow me."
Guo Yang followed his daughter Guo Yun, and soon they arrived at a mountain platform rich in spiritual energy.
The platform is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
But at this moment, there are only 7749 sets of tables and chairs. There are already more than a dozen people seated here, and these people are from the Zi Mansion!
There are nine other peak platforms like this on site.
This means that at least four hundred monks from the Zifu will come.
As for the outer peaks where the Foundation Establishment monks can attend banquets, there are thirty-two peaks, which are enough to accommodate thousands of Foundation Establishment monks to listen to the voice of the Great Dao of Nascent Soul Lord.
As for Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun, they will go to a third-order spiritual peak not far in front of their mountains.
Those people are the protagonists of such a banquet.
Guo Yang was very envious of these people.
He knew that if Zhang Wei was here, given his relationship with Huaizhu, it would be very possible for him to occupy a place on the Lingfeng.
But Guo Yang only felt no envy or jealousy towards Zhang Wei in his heart.
After all, he was half-experienced. After seeing Zhang Wei's skinny appearance when Huaizhu carried him out, he no longer felt any envy at all.
Some are just pitiful.
I hope that the Buyangzhi I gave can restore some vitality to Senior Zhang. Now that Master Huaizhu has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, his strength is even stronger than before. I don’t know if Senior Zhang can tolerate it.
There were a lot of disturbances from the outside world, but the attic dedicated to Huaizhu resting in the fourth-level spiritual house on Venus Island was very quiet.
Huaizhu was sitting in front of the dressing table, with Zhang Wei combing her hair behind her.
In the past three months, with the help and sorting out of Zhang Wei's Taoist body, Huaizhu has completely stabilized his state in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
So he came out of seclusion and asked Master, Master and the others to prepare for their Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Now, she gave Zhang Wei the job of combing her hair.
Zhang Wei often helped his mother comb her hair when he was a child. When he grew up in Fenglin Mountain, he was dragged over by Qu Yao and Chi Lian to help comb her hair.
Later, Dongli Qingtong also helped her with food when she had difficulty moving, so she was quite familiar with the work and did not let Huaizhu show dissatisfaction.
Looking at Zhang Wei who was busy behind him, Huaizhu smiled and said: "My master has broken through the Nascent Soul, Zijie, do you have any congratulations?"
"Of course!"
As Zhang Wei spoke, he took out a turtle shell engraved with thousands of special runes from the Qiankun Bracelet, sent it to Huaizhu and said, "This is the gift prepared by the disciple for you!"
Huaizhu paused, took it and took a look, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The Soul-Splitting Incarnation Technique, is this a secret method that can help people establish a second incarnation?"
"That's right."
Zhang Wei nodded.
This turtle shell was found by Zhang Wei from the three-headed dragon king's stored magic weapon. It clearly recorded the special technique of the three-headed dragon to split into three bodies - the soul-splitting incarnation method.
According to the formula, this technique is adapted from the ancient magical power, One Qi Transforms Three Purities. It also has the function of allowing monks to separate three incarnations to assist in body fighting, practice and deal with trivial matters.
This is different from the incarnation of divine thoughts above the Zifu realm.
The incarnation of spiritual thoughts is essentially a clone that exists based on divine thoughts, and does not have the ability to cultivate and replenish itself.
When the main body dies, no matter how powerful the spiritual incarnation is, it can only watch the spiritual thought on which it relies for survival gradually wear away, and eventually disappear with the main body.
However, the incarnations formed by special secret methods such as One Qi Transforming Three Purities are different. These incarnations are essentially the monks themselves.
Even if one of the bodies dies, as long as the other body is still there, the monk is not truly dead.
Just like Zhang Wei's second body.
It's just that Zhang Wei's second body was created based on the Guling Fetus, and it was even more special.
The soul-splitting incarnation that is condensed by the Dafa requires the monk to divide his own soul.
If that's all, then this skill is nothing.
There are many methods in the world of cultivating immortals to divide the origin of the soul and refine it into an incarnation.
For example, those monks who practice puppetry like to divide their souls and place them on their own natal puppets to leave a way out for themselves.
Some extreme and amazingly talented puppet masters even give up their human bodies, transfer all their souls to their puppets, and use mechanical ascension to achieve immortality.
But the soul-splitting incarnation method is different.
He distributes the soul evenly. There is no so-called division between the main soul and the divided soul. How many incarnations are divided, the divine soul is divided equally into as many parts, and it can divide the soul while maintaining the relationship between the monk's divided soul and the main soul. connect.
You must know that after other types of soul-splitting techniques divide the soul, the separated part of the soul can be regarded as an independent personality. If the monk's body is not well controlled, it is very likely that the clone will replace the main body after the split soul grows stronger. Strange things.
But the soul-splitting incarnation method is different. He is the kind that will never break.
While dividing the soul, this technique also ensures a certain connection, so that the incarnation and the body essentially belong to the same soul, just like Zhang Wei's body and his second body.
In this way, the monks don't have to worry about the incarnation harming the original body.
But this technique also has shortcomings.
It is different from other soul-splitting techniques where the pain is clean and instantaneous.
This kind of continuous soul-dividing technique will bring a huge burden to the monk's soul, like a wound that cannot be healed for a long time, hurting the monk's soul all the time.
The more divided souls there are, the more intense the pain will be.
Even if a person with a powerful soul can resist some of the backlash, he or she still needs to regularly take pills and treasures that nourish the soul to relieve the pain.
Unless the legendary spiritual object that can nourish the soul and help transform into a soul is found and refined, there is no way to solve it.
This directly cuts off the possibility for most monks to practice this technique.
Even the three-headed dragon king who was born a different species could only have three bodies at most.
And even so, his daily practice was still in pain, and he usually unified the three bodies to relieve the pain.
And part of the reason why he planned the Prisoner Ox Dragon Ball was that he hoped to use the Prisoner Ox Dragon Ball to reborn and enhance the essence of his soul to resist the backlash of the soul-splitting incarnation method.
However, this shortcoming is not unacceptable to Huaizhu.
The Yimu Buqiu Jue she practiced is similar to a clone method, and its ability to improve the soul is much stronger than ordinary techniques.
Moreover, she also obtained a secret treasure in the Cangyun Secret Realm that was specially used to nourish the soul, which was used to suppress the pain of soul-breaking.
In addition, she is also an alchemist, so it is not difficult to refine some soul-nourishing elixirs for herself on a daily basis.
In this way, compared to refining the second incarnation to add a life-saving means to oneself, this side effect is nothing.
"Very good, I am very satisfied with this technique!"
Huaizhu smiled and put away the tortoise-shell book, and then asked: "Then what gift do you want to give you as a teacher?"
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Master, your becoming the True Monarch of Nascent Soul is the best gift to me. With a True Monarch of Nascent Soul as my backer, no one in the Seven Stars Sea who doesn't have the foresight dares to mess with me casually."
Huaizhu frowned when he heard this and said, "This is what I, as a master, should do. It doesn't count as a gift. Let's get another one."
Zhang Wei thought for a while and thought of a person, a person he had been looking for for nearly a hundred years.
So he asked: "Master, can you help me find someone?"
Huaizhu raised his eyebrows, intuitively telling her that this person was very important to his apprentice, so he asked: "Looking for someone? Who is it?"
"I have a Taoist friend named Chi Lian." Zhang Wei said.
"Chi Lian? Female?"
Huaizhu's eyes became sharp.
"Well, one hundred and seventy years ago, she and I encountered a storm in the Biyuan Sea and were separated. Of course, it is also possible that she did not come to Dongzhou like me, but returned to the Five Realms safely..."
Zhang Wei Kaikai talked and told Huaizhu about his origins and some of his past with Chi Lian.
When she heard that Zhang Wei was from the vast northern continent across the Biyuan Sea, Huaizhu was also shocked, but she was not surprised for too long. What she really cared about was Chi Lian.
She seemed very important to Zijie.
But Huaizhu did not refuse, but just said: "It's okay to find someone, Zijie, do you know what she looks like?"
"Chi Lian..."
Halfway through his words, Zhang Wei suddenly paused, and then his expression was a little embarrassed.
Yes, what does Chi Lian look like? !
Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't speak for a long time, Huaizhu said in disbelief: "Zijie, you don't even know what your good friend looks like?"
"She always wears a veil when she is with me, and I haven't seen her face..."
Zhang Wei said embarrassedly.
He suddenly felt that he was a bad friend.
After living together for decades, he didn't even see what his friend looked like under the veil!
Not only Chi Lian, he had never seen Qun Yao's face!
Huaizhu had no choice but to ask again: "Are there any other characteristics?"
Zhang Wei immediately said: "Yes, she has very beautiful red hair, and there is a fire ghost beside her. She is good at using bows and arrows. By the way, her strongest skills are medical skills and alchemy. With her skills and talents, she may have cultivated a golden elixir like me and become a fourth-level alchemist!"
"Is that so..."
Huaizhu said faintly. After hearing Zhang Wei talk about his experience with Chi Lian in detail, she felt very uncomfortable.
But looking at Zhang Wei's excited look behind her in the mirror, she couldn't say no, so she just sighed and said: "It's just looking for someone, leave it to me."
"Thank you, Master."
When Zhang Wei finished combing Huaizhu's hair, the voice of a maid came from outside the attic.
"Master, the guests have arrived. Please move to Jinxia Peak."
"Got it."
Huaizhu said lightly, and after Zhang Wei combed his hair, he stood up, took Zhang Wei's hand and said: "Now that I have broken through the Nascent Soul Realm, I have the ability to protect you. It's a good opportunity to hold your Golden Core Ceremony together.
Zijie, don't use this appearance. Just use the identity of Zhang Xiaofan to participate in this Nascent Soul Ceremony with your master."
"Ah?"
Zhang Wei was stunned. He didn't expect Huaizhu to make such a suggestion.
He knew that in the eyes of outsiders, his Zhang Xiaofan was nominally the "father" of his body, and the nominal husband of Master Huaizhu in front of him!
At this time, Huaizhu pinched his face and said, "After all, I am the first Yuanying in the past thousand years in the Seven Star Sea. Even if I am a married woman, if you don't show up for a long time, some male cultivators will still have inappropriate thoughts.
And most of the Jindan male cultivators at the banquet here have a great background. At that time, I can't turn my face in public and make everyone embarrassed. This requires you, Zijie, to help, my little husband."
As he said, Huaizhu blinked his big eyes, and then naturally hugged Zhang Wei's arm, making Zhang Wei feel an amazing elasticity.
Zhang Wei's face turned red at this intimacy.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that Master Huaizhu's attitude towards him has become more and more... presumptuous since he broke through the Yuanying realm.
In the past, he was still cold as a master, but now sometimes he is like a little girl, a little too naughty.
But Zhang Wei didn't forget himself, but was secretly alert.
Because the last person who changed his attitude and was so intimate with him was Dongli Qingtong.
But Zhang Wei didn't refuse.
After all, Master Huaizhu has taken care of me for so long, and it is only natural for me, as a disciple, to help my master resist some annoying flies.
Raise a disciple for a thousand days, use him for a moment.
It's just a shield.
Let's do it!
It's not a loss to receive another wave of gifts at the Yuanying Ceremony.
So Zhang Wei simply used the art of transformation to change into his previous appearance, and then walked out of the attic with the beauty.
...
Jinxia Peak.
This is the most special spiritual peak on Venus Island.
Although it is only a third-level spiritual vein, it is the facade of Venus Island to the outside world. Its status is second only to the fourth-level spiritual vein in the depths of Venus Island. It will only be opened to welcome distinguished guests or major events.
Today is Huaizhu's Yuanying Ceremony. Those who can climb this peak are all representatives of forces with Yuanying Zhenjun in all nearby seas, and even Yuanying Zhenjun comes in person.
It is reasonable to open this place.
On the Jinxia Peak, there is a large platform surrounded by urgently relocated fourth-order spiritual bamboos. As the bamboo forest sways, a faint Dao rhyme permeates. If a peak foundation-building cultivator who practices Yimu attribute exercises comprehends the true picture of the Dao here, he may be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
On the platform, there are white jade tables arranged in order.
The jade table is filled with the fragrance of spiritual wine and the delicacies are piled up. Just a sip of it will make the Qi-refining cultivators look shocked and improve their cultivation.
Those who can serve here have at least the cultivation of the late foundation-building period. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators do not even have the qualifications to set foot here.
All because the guests who can sit here are all the rulers or representatives of the major forces in the surrounding seas, and their strength is at least the existence of the Golden Core Realm!
Such existences, if they casually mention it, can save ordinary foundation-building cultivators several years or even more than ten years of hard practice, which is more conducive to the late foundation-building cultivators to impact the Purple Mansion.
So in order to be able to serve as attendants on Jinxia Peak, the foundation-building cultivators on Jinxing Island almost beat their brains out before deciding on the final ownership.
At this moment, most of the forty-three white jade tables on Jinxia Peak have been owned by their owners. Each of them has at least the cultivation level of the Jindan realm, and fifteen of them have auras far beyond the Jindan realm.
It is Yuanying!
Fifteen Yuanying True Lords, more than the entire Seven Star Sea!
But at this moment, they are quietly waiting here for the arrival of today's protagonist.
They don't feel bored, but are enthusiastically discussing scriptures and Taoism with their familiar Taoist friends, and some even pull the Jindan cultivators who are pleasing to the eyes next to them to chat and talk about everything.
Highlight a harmony!
After all, it is rare to gather so many Taoist friends of the same realm like today, so it is a good opportunity to communicate and learn from each other.
"Fellow Taoists, I am very grateful for coming from afar!"
At this moment, ten rainbow lights came together and landed behind the green jade table in the first direction of the platform.
However, they all gave up the green jade case in the center.
"Hello, fellow Taoists!"
"Hello, True Lord Yuan Bin, True Lord Yi Ying, and fellow Taoists."
In the hall, all the Jindan Yuanying stood up and saluted to show respect.
As the host, the two Yuanying True Lords Yuan Bin and Yi Ying, as well as the remaining eight Jindan cultivators from Jinxing Island, also returned the salute.
At this moment, another gentle voice came from the sky.
"I am late, and I have kept you waiting for a long time. Please forgive me."
As soon as the voice fell, a graceful figure in a luxurious and solemn green skirt landed on the ground, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present. Even the Purple Mansion Masters and Foundation Building Cultivators on the outer mountains were trying their best to cast spells at this moment, intending to look up at the grace of the first Yuanying True Lord of the Seven Star Sea in a thousand years.
And this graceful figure in a green skirt is the protagonist of this Yuanying Ceremony.
Huaizhu Zhenjun!
But soon, everyone present, including Yuan Bin, Yi Ying and other internal cultivators of Jinxing Island, all frowned.
Because they found that Huaizhu did not come alone. Behind her was a male cultivator in the early stage of Jindan whom they had never seen before, and it seemed that he had only been in cultivation for a few years!
After the two landed, Huaizhu held his hand intimately, with a happy look on his face, and he almost said that the relationship between the two was not simple.
Who is this person? ! ! ! ! !
For a while, the whole venue was a bit of a frying pan.
The Zifu Shangren of the mountain where Guo Yang was immediately discussed Zhang Wei's identity, and many people showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
It seems that Zhang Wei was completely regarded as a lucky man who had the thigh of Yuanying Zhenjun, and even speculated that he could break through the Jindan with the help of Huaizhu.
Only Guo Yang, who sat quietly aside and watched the show with his daughter Guo Yun, showed an unexpected smile.
At the same time, there was some bitterness in his heart.
Guo Yang looked at the figure sitting next to Master Huaizhu on Jinxia Peak, calmly accepting the gazes of countless people, and thought to himself: "I thought that after cultivating to the Purple Mansion, I would be qualified to be on the same level as Senior Zhang, but I didn't expect that I was still a little short. It seems that I have to work harder."
"But judging from the senior's demeanor, it seems that there is no need to replenish Yangzhi."
