I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Not long after, a person dressed in black walked into the sect leader's main hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, your subordinate has obtained the archives and documents of Toyokawa."

After the guard finished speaking, he handed the file to the sect leader and then withdrew.

The sect leader picked up the file booklet and began to look through it.

"The first year of Tai'an in the Dafeng Dynasty."

Toyokawa was born in Qingxi County, Qinghua Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

He was precocious and began learning at the age of three.

He was intelligent and learned to write poetry after studying for three months.

His poems are all about family.

The rooster crows at dawn, the dog guards the door at night. The cat keeps the mice and weasels at bay, and the host welcomes guests.

Because of his intelligence and love of learning, he received high praise from his teacher and began to gain fame, being called a 'child prodigy'.

At the age of six, he was recommended by his teacher to participate in the county examination and won first place, thus becoming a student of the first level.

At the age of nine, with his teacher acting as guarantor and the county magistrate recommending him, he participated in the prefectural examination and became a scholar with the highest score.

At the age of twelve, he went to Qingzhou City to participate in the state examination and became the top scholar.

During this period, he wrote many poems and essays, and his fame spread far and wide throughout the prefecture.

He loved reading, disliked showing off, and was a low-key person…

After reading the entire document from beginning to end, the sect leader closed the book.

But I was secretly overjoyed.

Looks like we've really struck gold this time.

Moreover, it is an unprecedentedly powerful treasure.

However, the more this is the case, the less one should flaunt it.

Since ancient times, the cultivation world has been particularly adept at nipping geniuses in the bud.

Everyone believes in one thing.

What I don't have, you can't have either; what I can't have, you can forget about getting.

Even if you manage to get it by chance, it's best not to let me know.

Otherwise, I will destroy it without hesitation.

Unless you are much better than me.

Since its founding, the Qingyun Sword Sect has never heard of anyone with such talent.

Bai Linglong is the leader of a sect, a white-robed sword immortal.

I realized that this matter was somewhat beyond my control.

So he tidied himself up and left the main hall.

She did not head towards the outer door, but instead went in the opposite direction.

I proceeded cautiously, constantly keeping an eye on my surroundings.

Before long, she arrived silently at the forbidden area behind the sect's mountain.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the forbidden area, Bai Linglong took out the sect leader's token.

It fits perfectly into a groove at the front.

Suddenly, a gap appeared in the formation.

The gaps and entrance portals are generally the same size.

Bai Linglong immediately took out the token and slipped inside.

The entrance to the formation then immediately closed, as if it had never been opened.

After entering the forbidden area, Bai Linglong continued her winding journey.

Finally, they arrived at the gate of a thatched cottage.

Bai Linglong stopped and stood still.

"Master, Linglong requests an audience!" Sect Master Bai called softly into the thatched hut.

"come in!"

The person who spoke was none other than Bai Linglong's master, Helian Jianji.

"Yes!" Bai Linglong pushed open the courtyard gate and entered the thatched hut.

At this moment, Helian Jianji was still meditating on the bed, his eyes still closed.

However, the color of his face was not good; it had a sickly pallor.

Bai Linglong remained silent upon seeing this.

He came to the tea table, sat down quietly, and then began to brew tea.

A moment later, the spiritual water in the pot began to boil.

Bai Linglong took out two teacups.

Carefully pick up a few tea leaves and place them into the teacup.

Then pour in the boiled spiritual water.

After a short while, the aroma of tea filled the air.

Hearing it invigorates the spirit and refreshes the mind.

Just then, Helian Jianji also finished his practice.

He stood up and walked to the tea table to sit down.

"Master, please have some tea!" Bai Linglong said obediently.

Helian Jianji took the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Speak, what brings you here to your master?" Helian Jianji asked.

"Master, what are you saying? Can't Linglong come to see you even if there's nothing wrong?" Bai Linglong said coquettishly.

"Hehe, I raised you, taught you to read and write, and taught you swordsmanship and cultivation. Do you think I don't know you?" Helian Jianji directly revealed.

"Oh dear, let's not talk about that. Master, is your injury any better?" Bai Linglong asked worriedly.

"Alas, I made a mistake while practicing my skills before, and my foundation was damaged. I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to become an immortal in this lifetime."

"Although I am old and my cultivation level can no longer advance, I still possess this cultivation."

"If anyone dares to test the edge of my sword, Helian Jianji, I will make sure they never return," Helian Jianji declared with the boldness of an old man.

"After a long period of rest and recuperation, my previous injuries have healed considerably."

However, he is getting old and probably won't be able to hold on for many more years.

"From now on, the entire sect will depend on you, my disciple!" Helian Jianji continued with emotion.

"Master, please don't say that."

Although you have passed the throne to me, I am still young and my foundation is weak, so I am afraid I am not up to the task.

You should recover from your injuries as soon as possible before taking over the sect again.

Only then could the elders and disciples inside the sect feel at ease. "Bai Linglong said with a hint of discouragement.

"Linglong, now that I have passed the leadership of the sect to you, I will no longer take charge of the sect."

From now on, the sect can only rely on you.

You should also quickly build your own team, establish a firm foothold, and revitalize the sect.

In the future, if you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, please tell your teacher.

"Even my old bones can still be of some use," Helian Jianji said.

"I know you are still young and have just taken the position of sect leader, so it is normal for me to have some concerns."

It's human nature.

At such a young age, he has risen to a high position, which naturally makes it difficult for him to win over the public.

This is also human nature.

But even as a teacher, I have no choice.

If there were a reliable person to entrust with this task, I would not want you to shoulder such a heavy responsibility at such a young age.

Outsiders now think that our Qingyun Sword Sect is extremely powerful and domineering.

But my family knows my own affairs.

The Sword Sect is like an old man nearing the end of his life, showing signs of its decline.

It is only because I am incompetent that I have been unable to revive the sect.

Despite our best efforts and tireless efforts, we still see little improvement.

Now he is left with a body full of injuries and disabilities.

However, the sect is now surrounded by enemies.

Even more demons and heretics are stirring up trouble.

It's truly a time of internal and external troubles, a time of great turmoil.

But what can we do?

As your teacher, I am now powerless to help you, and can only entrust this matter to you.

I hope you can uphold the sect's foundation and prevent it from being destroyed by our hands.

"It is I who have wronged you, my disciple," Helian Jian said with a great deal of frustration.

"Master, please don't say that. It's your fault for being so useless and unable to share your burdens," Bai Linglong said, her eyes reddening.

"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore."

There's still time; I can hold on for another ten years or so.

"You didn't come in just to see this old man, did you?" Helian Jianji asked, staring at his disciple.

"Hehe, Master, I do have something to discuss with you," Bai Linglong said, her expression changing faster than flipping through a book.

"Oh, what's wrong? Even you're losing your composure?" Helian Jian asked in surprise.

"Master, perhaps this is the will of Heaven. Our sect may be about to reverse its decline and rise to prominence in the world..."

Bai Linglong stopped keeping him in suspense and told Helian Jianji the results of the investigation in Fengchuan.

"Excellent aptitude and comprehension? Unknown spiritual body? Born to be a king?" Helian Jianji asked three questions in a row, each one louder than the last.

"Yes, Master!"

It's that child with the abnormal spirit that I mentioned to you ten years ago after I returned to the sect.

"His name is Feng Chuan, and he has now joined my Qingyun Sword Sect!" Bai Linglong said with certainty.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Helian Jian stood up abruptly.

He took Bai Linglong's hand and walked outside.

“Come, follow me to see the Ancestor!” Helian Jianji said.

"Ancestor?" Bai Linglong asked, puzzled.

"Hmph, do you think this huge sect can be held up by me alone?"

If that were true, they would have been devoured by other sects long ago, leaving not even a trace of bones.

Besides, which sect doesn't have a few living fossils buried in the ground?

"This is the foundation of our sect!" Helian Jianji said with a mix of self-deprecation and arrogance.

Bai Linglong, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

Quietly following beside their master, they walked deeper into the forbidden area.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of a valley.

The valley in front of us looked ordinary and unremarkable.

Bai Linglong followed her master into the valley.

Before long, the two saw a natural cave.

Go down into the cave.

The deeper she went, the more shocked Bai Linglong became.

She had never known that the sect had such a treasure trove.

It is called a treasure land because the spiritual energy here is so abundant.

Moreover, the deeper you go into the cave, the richer the spiritual energy becomes.

It's as if there's a large vein of spirit stones here.

Bai Linglong forcibly stopped herself from asking her master's thoughts and quietly walked to the side.

After about fifteen minutes, we finally arrived at the bottom of the cave.

At the bottom of the cave is a huge hall, at least several tens of feet in diameter.

The hall is shaped like a Bagua (Eight Trigrams), with different formations set up in different directions.

Within the Eight Trigrams, there are also Five Elements, each with its own unique formation.

Within the Five Elements, there is a circular high platform.

A circle of coffins was placed on the high platform.

Each coffin was enormous and crafted from precious sacred wood.

The coffin lid is engraved with the Seven Star Array.

Each star position is occupied by a high-grade spirit stone.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the entire hall was even more exaggerated, reaching the level of mist.

Just taking a breath here makes you feel your cultivation level stirring.

This place is truly a blessed land.

Moreover, it was created by humans.

It is evident from this that the Qingyun Sword Sect truly possesses extraordinary foundation.

At this moment, Bai Linglong felt nothing but shock.

Helian Jianji became extremely cautious after arriving in the hall.

He cautiously approached an altar.

Light a specially made incense stick on the platform, bow three times, and then insert it into the incense burner.

After a moment, Bai Linglong and Helian Jianji both felt several powerful spiritual pressures sweep over them.

Then calm was restored.

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from one of the coffins.

"It's Jianji! Why is he suddenly here? Is the sect facing a major crisis?"

“Elders, I have come here abruptly and disturbed your slumber. I hope you will forgive me.”

"Hmph, so fussy, not like a sword cultivator."

What's the big deal? Tell me quickly.

We sword cultivators have no need to concern ourselves with such empty formalities.

Another majestic voice came from another coffin.

"Yes, the old ancestor is right."

This disciple will now tell you, my esteemed ancestors.

Esteemed Ancestors, our sect is indeed facing an unprecedented crisis.

There is a serious generational gap in new disciples, and a lack of successors.

Some time ago, my disciple's cultivation went awry, and his foundation was completely destroyed.

Now, the demonic path has begun to run rampant again, and the sect is surrounded by enemies.

However, the sect lacked talented individuals to utilize, making it a time of internal and external troubles.

"Now, I have passed the position of sect leader to my disciple, Bai Linglong."

“I’m telling you, Jianji, you should know our situation.”

We should not leave the world unless it is a matter of life and death for our sect.

These are all things you should worry about yourselves.

We old folks are powerless to help.

An old ancestor spoke up at this moment, interrupting Helian Jianji's complaints.

"Yes, the old ancestor is right."

Jian Ji was well aware of this.

However, I am not here for these matters.

Please let Jian Ji finish speaking, Ancestor.

The annual grand ceremony for helping immortals cross over from the mortal realm, held only once every 60 years, is now underway.

At this conference, the Sword Sect has gained a lot of fresh blood.

Moreover, many of the newly recruited disciples are exceptionally talented.

One of them stands out in particular.

......"

Subsequently, Helian Jianji reported the findings of the survey in Fengchuan.

He also emphasized that Fengzhou's natural talents and abilities are rare throughout history, and took the opportunity to ask for the opinions of the ancestors.

"What? Unknown spirit body? Excellent innate talent and comprehension? Born to be a king? Helian Jianji, are you telling the truth?"

A powerful voice rang out, and a strong pressure descended upon Helian Jianji and Bai Linglong.

Helian Jianji and Bai Linglong felt the overwhelming pressure, their faces turning purple and sweating profusely.

However, in an instant, the oppressive aura dissipated without a trace.

The two of them then felt better, but they still couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, what Master said is absolutely true, and that is why I have come here."

As the sect leader, Bai Linglong naturally couldn't rely on her master to protect her from everything.

"Hmm, the little girl is not bad. Your appointment as sect leader is quite thoughtful of Sword Extreme." The patriarch then brought up another matter.

Selecting disciples is important, but the position of sect leader is even more crucial.

I tested the waters with my own hands, and it turned out to be quite good; he's capable of handling important tasks.

At this moment, the other coffins began to tremble slightly, and the tremors were growing stronger.

"Old Ghost Zhuge, Old Ghost Jian, Old Ghost Xu, I'll take the lead this time."

It has been sleeping here for too long, and its body is almost decaying.

And I don't know how many more years I can hold on like this.

A weathered voice emanated from one of the coffins.

"Old Ghost Baili, are you really going to go out?"

Do you know that once you leave, you'll never be able to use the secret techniques again?

An urgent voice came from the other coffin.

"There's no need for further persuasion!"

Sleeping here is just prolonging their lives.

I already have little chance of survival, and if I continue to waste my energy here, I will only be wasting all my cultivation.

Even if they continue to slumber, it will only ensure the sect's safety for a short time.

Moreover, that child possesses both Yin and Yang attributes, and is a King-level Heavenly Grade.

I also possess both Yin and Yang spiritual roots, making me the closest to his child.

"I'm the most suitable person for this place," Baili Xingyun said softly.

Then, with a bang, the lid of a coffin was suddenly flung open.

An elderly man with white hair and white eyebrows walked out from inside.

It was none other than Baili Xingyun, the former patriarch of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

The other coffins seemed unwilling to leave after Baili Xingyun emerged.

After a slight tremor, they all slowly fell silent again.

Hahaha, how many years has it been!

I have traversed a hundred miles of clouds, slumbered for millennia, and finally awaited this moment.

The Qingyun Sword Sect has finally found a genius of unparalleled talent.

In my lifetime, I finally have the opportunity to witness the revival of the sect.

Hearing such exciting news, I wanted to crawl out of this damn coffin and see it for myself.

The white-browed old man spoke with great emotion.

“Ancestor, you’ve come out…” Bai Linglong said to the old man.

Baili Xingyun's laughter abruptly stopped.

He looked at himself, then at Bai Linglong.

"You little girl, you're really not likable. I'm just happy! Happy, you know, happy~" Baili Xingyun had been asleep for a long time and was a little dazed.

Then Baili Xingyun stepped out of the formation, turned to the coffin on the platform and said, "Gentlemen, I will handle this matter. You can rest in peace!"

After saying that, he turned to the master and apprentice in front of him and said, "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."
