"Changge, how has your Cultivation been recently?"
Su Bai felt like she had hit a small Bottleneck recently while making Puppets.
Third-tier Puppets were easy to make, and Su Bai had even completed a prototype, but Su Bai wanted them to exert even greater combat power, so she carved offensive Formations onto them, allowing multiple Puppets to readily form Formations for use.
This attempt to achieve everything at once temporarily stalled Su Bai's train of thought.
So, she came over to see how Xu Changge was doing.
"It's alright. Body Refining has been quite smooth. After three years of adaptation, I've gotten used to this Cultivation method of stimulating the body with lightning-attribute spiritual Qi. Future Cultivation will be even faster, as my Core Formation Cultivation is not fake and helps with Body Refining to some extent."
"It's just that Divine Sense Cultivation is somewhat difficult."
"The Divine Fire Spirit Art is not the most suitable Cultivation Technique for me after all; I can only Cultivate its Divine Sense chapter."
"I've wasted your good intentions, Xiaobai."
Xu Changge shook her head.
After all, it was a Cultivation Technique given by Su Bai. She tried it and gave up when she found it was truly unsuitable for her.
Su Bai was also stunned upon hearing this.
She nodded, realizing she hadn't considered that aspect.
The Six Sects had profound foundations; Xu Changge could completely go to the Sect to find a Cultivation Technique suitable for her.
There was no need for her to be like herself, constantly picking and choosing Cultivation Techniques outside.
"It's fine. After all, everyone's Aptitude and Physique are different. If Cultivation isn't smooth, just give up. There's no need to trouble yourself over such a small matter."
As the two were talking, Su Bai suddenly looked into the distance with a solemn expression.
Seeing Su Bai's expression, Xu Changge was about to ask what was wrong.
Her Divine Sense also caught a hint of abnormality, and she looked towards the horizon with Su Bai.
At the same time, all Core Formation Cultivators in Xingluo City sensed that something was amiss.
And the direction they were looking was the Outer Sea.
Only to see a fireball seemingly ignite on the horizon, flying towards them at an extremely fast speed.
As it got closer, everyone discovered that the fireball seemed to contain a long spear!
Wherever the long spear passed, cracks appeared in space.
Clearly, the long spear, merely by flying past, had already pressured space into cracking.
"My heavens! What kind of Divine Weapon is this!"
"Such a weapon could only be owned by a great Cultivator, right?"
"I think even a great Cultivator wouldn't dare touch it!"
"This direction, the spear is flying from the Outer Sea. Could something have gone wrong with the Secret Realm?"
"Something wrong with the Secret Realm? No way!"
"Exactly, don't talk nonsense. The Old Ancestors are still guarding it; how could something go wrong?"
"Then this long spear is..."
"..."
The great Cultivators mentioned by these Cultivators were Nascent Soul cultivators.
After all, the strongest Cultivators in their cognition were their Sect's Old Ancestors.
However, the appearance of such a phenomenon at this time also made them uncertain, unsure if something had happened to the Old Ancestors.
"Xiaobai..."
Xu Changge looked at the long spear flying overhead. After the long spear passed, it left behind slowly recovering spatial cracks.
Such a scene made Xu Changge instinctively reach out and hold Su Bai's hand.
Only when Su Bai's small hand was held in her own did Xu Changge feel at ease.
Su Bai's gaze followed the direction the long spear flew.
She sensed Zhang Zihua's aura on that spear.
Could this be Zhang Zihua's Magic Treasure?
Is that guy that strong?
This Magic Treasure, even without anyone controlling it, could already shake out spatial cracks. If someone held it in their hand, it was unimaginable what power it could unleash!
However, if it was Zhang Zihua's Magic Treasure, why was there only the Magic Treasure and no person?
At this moment, the entire Xingluo City began to tremble.
These people were all shocked by the passing Divine Weapon.
And they all knew where the long spear had flown from.
Someone shouted this.
"A Divine Weapon has appeared; there's an Opportunity!"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
The lake instantly boiled.
That Divine Weapon was clearly unobtainable.
But there should still be Opportunities!
All Cultivators poured out of Xingluo City. Qi Refining Cultivators flew on swords, Foundation Establishment Cultivators transformed into streaks of light and flew through the air.
They all flew towards the Outer Sea.
Su Bai remained still.
This situation seemed wrong no matter how she looked at it.
After thinking for a moment, Su Bai asked Xu Changge beside her:
"Changge, how is the ebony boat modification coming along?"
"About seventy percent of the way to its most complete state."
"That's enough."
Without further delay, after retrieving the ebony boat, Su Bai took Xu Changge's hand and returned to Danfu Pavilion.
If something felt off, she would quickly pull Xu Changge and Lu Hong and run.
Now, it remained to be seen if there was truly a situation in the Outer Sea.
This wait lasted for two months.
Two months later, news from the Outer Sea arrived.
The Secret Realm Immortal Island was shattered, all the fourth-tier Spiritual Veins inside were broken, and the sea was scattered with Spirit Stones.
Moreover, the original location of the Secret Realm was now filled with a spiritual Qi storm; ordinary Cultivators could not stay there for long at all.
Clearly, a great battle had occurred at the Secret Realm involving great Cultivators.
The impact of their actions would not cease for ten years, as the spiritual Qi storm would not stop.
"This is clearly not a normal Nascent Soul cultivator battle."
Someone made this summary.
Although everyone was a low-level Cultivator.
There were always well-informed individuals, whether from hearsay or from books.
Nascent Soul cultivators could at most cast multiple Divine Ability Spells, with power far exceeding Core Formation Cultivators. Unless special methods like poison were used, they would not cause long-term chaos in an area.
Even when Lian Youzhi released poison at the Six Sects' entrance before, under the Nascent Soul cultivator's Spell, the toxins were mostly eliminated.
The Cultivators in Xingluo City had various opinions.
Each had their own conjectures.
But the Secret Realm clearly had no Opportunities left, only the deep sea might have some Spirit Stones scattered when the fourth-tier Spiritual Veins were destroyed.
At this time.
Xu Changge found Su Bai.
"I'm going to Green Bamboo Sword Sect."
"..."
Hearing this news, Su Bai was not surprised.
Xu Changge continued:
"The Six Sects suffered heavy losses in a battle against Li Country a hundred years ago. At that time, I took the Opportunity to rise and gained many benefits from the Sect."
"Later, I gradually became an Elder stationed in a certain area. Over thirty years ago, the Outer Sea Secret Realm was discovered, and the Six Sects' Cultivators set out but were annihilated, causing the Sect to lose many people."
"These past years, the Sect has recruited many Disciples. There are enough low-level Disciples, but there are still not enough Elders."
"This time, I'm going to be an Outer Sect Elder, serving the Sect for a hundred years before I can come out again."
Saying that, Xu Changge took out the ebony boat.
Xu Changge had already finished modifying it.
She placed the ebony boat in Su Bai's hand.
Xu Changge brushed the strands of hair from Su Bai's forehead. Su Bai stood quietly in place, feeling the warmth on her forehead.
She watched Xu Changge slowly retreat.
Su Bai did not try to keep her.
She just watched Xu Changge leave.
Only after Xu Changge left did she touch her forehead, where a trace of fragrance still lingered.
"Changge."
