Half a year later, five bells rang out on the islands where the Golden Elixir was seated in the Venus Sea, and instantly the entire Seven Star Sea began to shake.

The bell rang five times, someone has achieved Nascent Soul!

After a thousand years, the Seven Star Sea has added another Yuanying Zhenjun!
Because Venus Island had three Nascent Soul True Lords, it suddenly became the force with the largest number of Nascent Soul powerhouses in the Seven Star Sea, and it was the most popular force for a time.

On Venus Island, the sky was filled with auspicious clouds, vast spiritual light was shining into the universe, and the mountain gate was wide open. All the foundation-building monks stationed on the island were mobilized to welcome guests from all directions.

The birth of a Yuanying Zhenjun can cause all the forces with Jindan in the Seven Star Sea to send heavyweight members to pay homage.

Therefore, those who can come are at least Purple Mansion cultivators. There will be quite a few Golden Core cultivators, and it is possible that Yuanying cultivators will come in person to congratulate.

In this situation, do you still want to be a doorman without some ability?
It's not just the face of Venus Island that is lost.

Moreover, gift-giving is indispensable during the period, which also requires a discerning person to check, and then guide the guests to the corresponding seats according to the grade of the gifts and the personal strength.

So, there is a lot of knowledge involved in banquets.

At the mountain gate of Venus Island, rays of light swarmed in from all directions, making the scene extremely lively.

At this time, a light golden flaming meteor fell from the sky and landed in front of the late foundation-building cultivator from Venus Island who was in charge of writing the gift list.

"Master Zifu?!"

The cultivator in the late foundation building stage exclaimed.

Then the flames dissipated, and a middle-aged man with light golden eyes appeared in front of the man with a pretty woman.

"May I ask your honorable name, Master?"

The cultivator in the late foundation building stage said cautiously.

The middle-aged man smiled amiably and said, "Guo Yang, this is my daughter Guo Yun. I heard that Master Huaizhu has achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, so I came to congratulate you."

That’s right, this person is Guo Yang. After coming out of the Cang Yun Sect ruins, relying on the opportunities gained from it and the transformation of his body by the Golden Crow Essence Fire, he finally succeeded in breaking through the Purple Mansion two years ago and became the Purple Mansion powerhouse that he had only dreamed of before!
Even his daughter Guo Yun has successfully established her foundation thanks to the spiritual essence of heaven and earth that her father brought back, and is now almost in the middle stage of foundation building.

And it all started with that man.

So after hearing that Huai Zhu had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Guo Yang came out of seclusion immediately and brought his daughter to Venus Island.

Give some gifts to express your gratitude and take the opportunity to see how your benefactor is doing.

As he spoke, Guo Yang took out a treasure from his mustard seed bag. It was a precious yang-attributed elixir that he had found over the years and handed it over.

Upon seeing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately put it away with great care. Then a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment came over behind him and asked for advice.

"Master, please follow me."

Guo Yang and his daughter Guo Yun followed, and soon they arrived at a mountain platform full of spiritual energy.

The platform is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

But at the moment there are only seventy-seven sets of tables and chairs, and more than a dozen people have already sat down, and all of them are from Zifu!
There are nine more mountain platforms like this on site.

This means that at least four hundred Purple Mansion monks will come.

As for the mountains in the outer areas for the Foundation Establishment Monks to attend banquets, there are thirty-two of them, which are enough to accommodate thousands of Foundation Establishment Monks to listen to the sound of the Great Dao of Yuanying Zhenjun.

As for Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun, they will go to a third-level 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 there, given his relationship with Huai Zhu, he would most likely have a place on the spiritual peak.

But Guo Yang didn't feel any envy or jealousy towards Zhang Wei at all.

After all, he was half an eyewitness. When he saw how skinny Zhang Wei was when Huaizhu carried him out, he no longer felt any envy.

Some are just pitiful.

I hope that the Buyangzhi that I sent can replenish some of Senior Zhang's vitality. Now that Master Huaizhu has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, his strength is even greater than before. I don't know if Senior Zhang can handle it.

Amidst the turmoil in the outside world, the attic in the fourth-level spiritual vein on Venus Island, which was specially used for Huai Zhu to rest, was very quiet.

Huaizhu sat in front of the dressing table, and Zhang Wei was combing her hair behind her.

Over the past three months, with the help and guidance of Zhang Wei's Taoist body, Huai Zhu has completely stabilized his early Nascent Soul stage.

So he came out of retreat and let his master and mistress and the others start preparing for his Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Now, she leaves the task of combing her hair to Zhang Wei.

When Zhang Wei was a child, he often helped his mother comb her hair. When he grew up and lived in Fenglin Mountain, he was also pulled over by Qun Yao and Chi Lian to help comb her hair.

Later, Dongli Qingtong helped her with the housework when she was unable to move, so she was quite familiar with this job and did not let Huaizhu show any dissatisfaction.

Looking at Zhang Wei who was busy behind him, Huaizhu smiled and said, "Master has achieved Nascent Soul breakthrough, Zijie, do you have any gift to congratulate me?"

"Of course!"

As Zhang Wei spoke, he took out a tortoise shell engraved with thousands of special runes from the Qiankun bracelet, handed it to Huaizhu and said, "This is the gift I prepared for you!"

Huaizhu paused, took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Soul-Splitting Incarnation Technique, is this a secret technique that can help people form a second incarnation?"

"Yes."

Zhang Wei nodded.

Zhang Wei found this tortoise shell from the storage magic weapon of the three-headed dragon king. On it was clearly recorded the special skill of the three-headed dragon to split into three bodies - the Soul-Splitting and Incarnation Skill.

According to the formula, this technique was adapted from the ancient magical power, One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones. It also allows the cultivator to separate into three incarnations to assist the main body in fighting, practicing, and handling trivial matters.

This is different from the incarnation of divine consciousness above the Purple Mansion Realm.

The incarnation of divine consciousness is essentially an incarnation that exists based on divine consciousness and does not have the ability to cultivate and replenish itself.

When the main body dies, no matter how powerful the incarnation of spiritual consciousness is, it can only watch the spiritual consciousness on which it depends for survival gradually fade away and eventually die with the main body.

However, the incarnations formed by special secret methods such as One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones are different. In essence, this incarnation is the cultivator himself.

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 Gu Ling Baotai, and it is more special.

The incarnation condensed by the Soul-Splitting Incarnation Technique requires the cultivator to split his own soul.

If that were all, then this technique would be nothing special.

There are many methods in the world of immortal cultivation to split the essence of the soul and refine the incarnation.

For example, those monks who practice puppetry like to split their own souls and place them on their own natal puppets to leave themselves a way out.

Some extreme and talented puppeteers even simply give up their human bodies, transfer their entire souls to the puppets, and use mechanical ascension to achieve immortality.

But this Soul-Splitting and Incarnation Technique is different.

He distributes it evenly. There is no so-called main soul and divided soul. The soul must be divided equally into as many parts as there are incarnations. At the same time, the cultivator's divided soul can maintain connection with the main soul.

You should know that with other types of soul-splitting techniques, after the soul is split, the separated part of the soul can be regarded as an independent personality. If the cultivator's original body cannot be controlled well, it is very likely that the clone will replace the original body after the split soul grows stronger.

But this Soul-Splitting Incarnation Technique is different. It is the kind that can never be severed.

While dividing the spirit and soul, this technique will also ensure a certain connection, so that the incarnation and the original body are essentially the same soul, just like Zhang Wei's original body and his second body.

In this way, the monk does not have to worry about the incarnation harming the original body.

But this technique also has its shortcomings.

This is different from other soul-splitting techniques where the pain is immediate and clean.

This kind of continuous soul-splitting technique would bring a huge burden to the cultivator's soul, just like a wound that would not heal for a long time, which would hurt the cultivator's soul all the time.

The more souls are divided, the more intense the pain will be.

Even if those with strong souls can resist some of the backlash, they still need to take soul-nourishing pills and treasures regularly to relieve the pain.

Unless one finds the legendary spiritual object that can nourish the soul and assist in the transformation into a spirit and refines it, there is no way to solve it.

This directly cuts off the possibility for most cultivators to practice this technique.

Even the three-headed dragon king, who was born a different species, could only split into three bodies at most.

Even so, his daily practice was extremely painful, and he usually united the three bodies into one to relieve the pain.

One of the reasons why he planned to obtain the Prison-Niu Dragon Ball was that he hoped to use it to transform himself and enhance his spiritual essence to resist the backlash of the Soul-Splitting Avatar Technique.

However, this shortcoming is not unacceptable to Huaizhu.

The Yi Mu Bu Qiu Jue that she practiced was similar to a method of creating a clone, and it was much more effective in improving the soul than ordinary techniques.

Moreover, she also obtained a secret treasure in the Cang Yun Secret Realm that was specifically used to nourish the soul, which was just enough to suppress the pain of soul-breaking.

In addition, she was an alchemist, so it was not difficult for her to refine some pills that nourished her soul for her daily life. In this way, compared with refining a second incarnation to add a means of saving her life, this side effect was nothing.

"Very good, this technique is very satisfying to me!"

Huaizhu smiled and put away the tortoise shell book, then asked, "What gift do you want me to give you in return?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Master, your becoming a Yuanying Zhenjun is the best gift for me. With a Yuanying Zhenjun as my backer, who will dare to mess with me in the Seven Star Sea?"

Huaizhu frowned and said, "This is what I should do as a master. It doesn't count as a gift. Please propose another one."

Zhang Wei thought about it and thought of a person, someone he had been looking for for nearly a hundred years.

So he asked, "Master, can you help me find someone?"

Huaizhu raised her eyebrows. Her intuition told her that this person was very important to her apprentice, so she asked, "Looking for someone? Who?"

"I have a fellow Taoist named Chi Lian." Zhang Wei said.

"Chi Lian? Female?"

Huaizhu's eyes became sharp.

"Well, one hundred and seventy years ago, she and I were separated by a storm in the Abyssal Sea. Of course, it is also possible that she did not come to Dongzhou like me, but returned safely to the Five Regions..."

Zhang Wei spoke openly and told Huai Zhu about his origins and some of his past with Chi Lian.

When Huaizhu heard that Zhang Wei was actually from the vast northern continent across the Biyuan Sea, she was also shocked, but she was not surprised for too long. What she really cared about was Chi Lian.

She seems to be 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 she..."

Halfway through his words, Zhang Wei suddenly paused and looked a little embarrassed.

Yes, what does Chi Lian look like? !
Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't say anything for a long time, Huaizhu said in disbelief: "Zijie, you don't even know what your good friend looks like, do you?"

"She always wore a veil when she was with me, and I never saw her face..."

Zhang Wei said embarrassedly.

He suddenly felt that he was a failure as a friend.

After living together for decades, he had never even seen what his friend looked like underneath the veil!
Not only Chi Lian, he had never even 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 she has a fire ghost by her side. She is good at using bows and arrows. By the way, her strongest skills are medicine and alchemy. With her skills and talents, she may have cultivated a golden elixir like me and become a fourth-level alchemist!"

"That's it..."

Huaizhu said quietly that she felt very uncomfortable after hearing Zhang Wei talk about his experience with Chi Lian in detail.

But looking at Zhang Wei's excited look behind him in the mirror, he couldn't say no, so he just sighed and said, "It's just finding someone, leave it to me."

"Thank you, master."

When Zhang Wei finished combing Huaizhu's hair, the voice of a maid was heard outside the attic.

"Master, the guests have arrived. Please move to Jinxia Peak."

"understood."

Huai Zhu said calmly, and after Zhang Wei finished combing her hair, she 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. I would like to take this opportunity to hold your Golden Core Ceremony together.

Zijie, please stop being like this, and just use the identity of Zhang Xiaofan to attend the Yuanying Ceremony with your master."

"what?"

Zhang Wei was stunned. He didn't expect Huai Zhu to make such a suggestion.

But he knew that in the eyes of outsiders, his alias Zhang Xiaofan was nominally the "father" of this body, and the nominal husband of the Master Huaizhu in front of him!
At this time, Huaizhu pinched his face and said, "After all, I am the first Yuanying in the Seven Star Sea in a thousand years. 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.

Most of the Jindan male cultivators at the banquet here have a great background. I can't turn hostile in public and embarrass everyone. This is where you, Zijie, need to help, my little husband."

As he spoke, Huaizhu blinked his big eyes, then naturally hugged Zhang Wei's arm, making Zhang Wei feel the amazing elasticity.

Zhang Wei's face couldn't help but turn red at this intimacy.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that since Master Huaizhu broke through the Nascent Soul stage, his attitude towards him had become more and more... insolent.

She used to be as aloof as a master, but now sometimes she acts like a little girl, a little too naughty.

But Zhang Wei did not lose his mind, instead he became secretly alert.

Because the last person who changed his attitude drastically and was so intimate with him was Dongli Qingtong.

But Zhang Wei did not refuse.

After all, Master Huaizhu has taken care of me for so long, and it is only my duty as his apprentice to help him fight off some annoying flies.

Train a disciple for a thousand days, and use him for a moment.

It's just a shield.

It's done!

It wouldn't be a loss if I could receive some gifts at the Yuanying Ceremony.

So Zhang Wei simply used the art of transformation to change back to his previous appearance, and then walked out of the attic accompanied by the beauty.

……

Jinxia Peak.

This is the most special sacred peak on Venus Island.

Although it is only a third-level spiritual vein, it is the external facade of Venus Island. Its status is second only to the fourth-level spiritual vein deep in Venus Island. It will only be opened to welcome distinguished guests or for important events.

Today is Huaizhu's Yuanying Ceremony. Those who can climb to the top of this peak are all representatives of forces with Yuanying Zhenjun in charge of all nearby sea areas, and some even come in person.

It is only natural to open this place.

On the Jinxia Peak, there is a large platform, surrounded by urgently moved fourth-order spiritual bamboos. As the bamboo forest sways, a faint Taoist charm permeates the air. If a cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage who is practicing Yimu attribute skills can comprehend the true picture of the Dao here, he may be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

On the platform, there were white jade tables arranged in order.

The jade table was filled with the aroma of spiritual wine and piled with delicacies. Just a sip of it would make the Qi-refining cultivator's expression shocked and his cultivation improved.

Those who can serve here have at least the cultivation level of the late foundation building stage. Ordinary foundation building cultivators do not even have the qualifications to set foot here.

This is because all the guests who can sit here are the rulers or representatives of the major forces in the surrounding seas, and their strength is at least at the Golden Core Realm!
A casual word from such beings can save ordinary foundation-building cultivators several or even more than ten years of hard training, and will be more beneficial for cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building to break through to the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, in order to be able to serve as attendants on Jinxia Peak, the foundation-building monks on Jinxing Island almost beat their brains out before deciding on their final affiliation.

At this moment, most of the forty-three white jade tables on Jinxia Peak have been occupied. Each of them has at least the Jindan realm of cultivation, and fifteen of them have auras far beyond the Jindan realm.

It was actually the Nascent Soul!
There are fifteen Yuanying True Lords, which is more than the number in the entire Seven Star Sea!

But at this moment they are quietly waiting here for the arrival of today's protagonist.

They did not feel bored. Instead, they enthusiastically discussed scriptures and Taoism with fellow Taoists they were familiar with. Some even pulled over the Jindan cultivators they liked to chat with them.

Highlight a harmony!
After all, it is rare to gather so many fellow Taoists of the same realm as today. It is a good opportunity for us to communicate and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

"My fellow Taoists, I am deeply grateful for coming from afar!"

At this moment, ten rays of rainbow light came together and landed behind the green jade table at the first position of the platform.

But they all gave up the green jade table in the center.

"I've met two fellow Taoists!"

"Greetings to Master Yuanbin, Master Yiying, and fellow Taoists."

Inside the main hall, all the Golden Cores and Yuanyings stood up and saluted to show their respect.

The hosts, Yuan Bin and Yi Ying, two Nascent Soul True Lords, and the remaining eight Jindan cultivators from Venus Island also returned the gifts.

At this moment, a gentle voice was heard from the sky.

"I am late and have kept you waiting for so long. Please forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure in an elegant green skirt landed on the ground, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present. Even the Purple Mansion Masters and Foundation Establishment Monks on the outer mountains were trying their best to cast spells, intending to admire the graceful demeanor of the first Yuanying Zhenjun of the Seven Star Sea in a thousand years.

And this graceful figure in a green skirt is the protagonist of this Yuanying Ceremony.

Lord Huaizhu!

But soon, everyone present, including Yuan Bin, Yi Ying and other internal monks of Venus Island all frowned.

Because they discovered that Huai Zhu did not come alone. Behind her was a male cultivator in the early Jindan stage whom they had never seen before, and it seemed that he had only achieved a breakthrough in cultivation a few years ago!
After the two of them landed, Huaizhu held his hand intimately, looking so happy, as if he was just about to say that their relationship was not simple.

Who is this person? ! ! ! ! !
For a moment, the entire venue was in an uproar.

The Zifu masters on the mountain where Guo Yang was immediately discussing Zhang Wei's identity, and many of them showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

It seemed that he completely regarded Zhang Wei as a lucky guy who had the support of Yuanying Zhenjun, and even speculated that he was able to break through to the Jindan stage with the help of Huaizhu.

Only Guo Yang, who was sitting quietly aside, eating melons and watching the show with his daughter Guo Yun, showed an expected smile.

At the same time, there is some bitterness in my 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 am still a little short. It seems that I have to work harder."

"But judging from your demeanor, it seems that there is no need to replenish Yangzhi."
