Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Wanyu Sword Gate of Jingchuan County.

Several years ago, Cheng Gao returned from the Great Western Plain in Shu and has been in seclusion within the sect ever since. This experience has been quite fruitful, and he successfully broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment a few years ago. He is currently consolidating his realm in his cave.

As Cheng Man lay cross-legged with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard the voice of the Purple Mansion Immortal giving instructions:

"Chenggao, the Donghai Qingsong Cave Heaven is about to open. You should immediately go to Milin County to call on Jiang Xiaoyou, and together we will go to Donghai Qingsong Island to wait for the cave heaven to appear."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Gao's eyes snapped open, a flash of golden light passing through them, and he rose to his feet, bowing respectfully.

"Your disciple obeys."

He quickly tidied himself up, slung his sword over his shoulder, and hurriedly transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Milin County.

At this moment, atop Jianmen Peak, Ling Mei sat alone beside the [Mysterious Horned Treasure Pine], drinking tea. He thought to himself:

"Now that the Green Pine Immortal Temple has appeared in the world, it's time to retrieve the relics of the True Lords before they attained enlightenment. Last time, Cheng Mianfu, a disciple of the Sword Sect, entered the cave heaven, but unexpectedly perished. This time, with the young friend Jiang, who has cultivated sword intent, Cheng Gao will be more at ease."

"I wonder what the other solar lineages think. So many years have passed, this matter should be put to rest..."

A biting north wind blows across the summit of Jianmen Peak, and the branches of the Xuanjiao Baosui Pine sway in the wind as they have for ten years.

Ling Mei Zhenren had left using his supernatural powers at some point, leaving only the teacup on the stone table, which was now steaming.

......

Jungle County.

Above Jade Peak, a white-gold sword boat was speeding towards them.

Before long, the sword boat stopped, and a middle-aged man dressed in a black Taoist robe with a sword on his back landed on the top of Jade Peak.

The visitor was none other than Cheng Gao.

He placed two fingers together in front of his lips and amplified his voice with magic:

"The Jianmen Chenggao has come to pay a visit. We humbly request Fellow Daoist Jiang to appear and meet us."

Ever since he purchased the Xuanmin Pill from the Xiao family, Jiang Heqian has been in seclusion, cultivating without ever stepping out of his cave.

After years of arduous training, his efforts finally paid off, and a year ago, he reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

After spending several months studying the [Mysterious Jade] Purple Mansion Secret Technique, he naturally mastered it without any obstacles.

[Mysterious Jade] Once the secret technique is mastered, magical power increases by three levels out of thin air.

At this moment, he was in his cave dwelling, refining his immortal foundation [Jade Court General] and consolidating his cultivation. He was calculating the time in his mind, thinking to himself:

"If the Sword Sect doesn't come looking for me to enter the Mirage Heaven, I'll have to wait at most ten more days, and then I'll have to find an excuse to go."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

The shouts from Cheng Gao outside the cave made Jiang Heqian breathe a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

He rose and moved swiftly, casting a spell to activate the formation. Within moments, he was floating in mid-air, riding the wind, and exclaimed joyfully:

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, how have you been? Please come with me into my residence for a chat and a detailed discussion."

Standing atop the peak, Cheng Gao's figure flashed with magical light, appearing before Jiang Heqian. He looked Jiang up and down with a surprised expression:

"It has been several years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Jiang, your cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. I, Cheng, am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

After a moment of surprise, he said seriously:

"Time is of the essence, so I will not reminisce with Fellow Daoist Jiang. I have come to find Fellow Daoist Jiang on the orders of True Man Ling, who instructed me to take Fellow Daoist Jiang to the East Sea and enter the Green Pine Cave Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian pretended not to know, raised an eyebrow, and fell silent for a while, not immediately agreeing to Cheng's draft.

Cheng Gao's expression was natural, as if he had expected this, and he explained in a gentle tone:

"The Green Pine Grotto is about to appear in the world. This is known to all the immortal sects and clans of Yue Kingdom. Our entry into it is a rare and precious opportunity. Legend has it that there is a magical treasure called the Three Drum Wall in that grotto. The cultivation methods inside are as vast as the ocean. Obtaining even one or two of them will greatly benefit our future path to enlightenment."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, do not worry. Quickly follow me and we will head to Qingsong Island in the East China Sea now."

Cheng Gao looked slightly excited and finished speaking in one breath, waiting for Jiang Heqian's reply.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Heqian made up his mind and said firmly:

"Very well, I will accompany Fellow Daoist Cheng to the East Sea and enter the Green Pine Cave Heaven."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Cheng Gao smiled broadly, raised his hand to release the sword boat, and then gestured for Jiang Heqian to go first.

The two stepped into the sword boat one after the other.

Then, a flash of platinum-gold light appeared, and the two figures disappeared from Jade Peak.

......

Qingsong Island in the East China Sea.

Qingsong Island is located near Chijiao Island.

Back then, Wanyu Sword Sect, Chunyi Sect, and Chijiao Island fought fiercely and endlessly over the ruins of Qingsong Temple on the island.

The Qingsong Cave is about to appear on Qingsong Island.

Many cultivators rushed to the island upon hearing the news, all hoping to get a share of the spoils.

When a grotto-heaven approaches the mortal world, it will bestow spiritual energy, spiritual water, and spiritual fire that are rarely seen on ordinary days. Whether a cultivator enters the grotto-heaven or not, as long as they take this opportunity to collect some spiritual items, their trip will not be in vain.

Donghai Qingsong Island is not large in size, and the mountains are not high, but pine trees can be seen everywhere on the island.

At this time, the island was densely packed with cultivators, all waiting for the grotto-heaven to appear. Some rogue cultivators even fought fiercely for a better spot, battling endlessly in mid-air.

Not long after, a golden-white streak of light rushed toward Green Pine Island. In the blink of an eye, the light vanished, revealing two middle-aged men.

It turned out to be Jiang Heqian and his companion.

Cheng Gao looked around the island, then stared at a certain spot with a smile, and said happily:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please come with me to the island. I will introduce you to two friends."

The Jianmen disciples' friends are just a few of the same age as the Taiyang Dao lineage.

Jiang Heqian nodded and rode the wind to follow Cheng Gao down onto the island.

Four Foundation Establishment cultivators, dressed in different styles, appeared before the two of them.

The leader was a female cultivator, dressed in a purple Daoist robe, with outstanding looks, a slender figure, and a cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment. She carried a purple jade longsword on her back.

Kan Ziyu, a cultivator from the Purple Smoke Sect.

The other three male cultivators included one with a full beard, dressed in black robes, carrying a golden bow on his back, with sharp eyes, and a cultivation level of late Foundation Establishment.

Li Xuanfeng of the Li family.

A man dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a fierce look in his eyes, was covered in unknown jade and animal bones. His cultivation level was late Foundation Establishment.

The Great Owl and the Sunflower View, Lin Chensheng.

The last male cultivator was young, dressed in a silver-white robe, with delicate features, and his cultivation level was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Destiny son Zhong Qian.

As Cheng and Gao landed on the wind, the eyes of several people swept over them simultaneously, their expressions varying.

Cheng Gao strode forward, his tone cheerful as he said:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Kan, let me introduce you to a sword immortal, Fellow Daoist Jiang Heqian."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin and Kan looked at Cheng Gao with strange expressions.

"What's wrong? Is there something amiss?" Cheng Gao asked, his face darkening.

Kan Ziyu chuckled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, how have you been?"

Lin Chengsheng said in a strange tone:

"It has been many years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Jiang, your cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. I admire you greatly."

Jiang Heqian bowed to the two men with clasped hands and replied:

"Fellow Daoists, how have you been? I have only managed to break through by sheer luck."

Cheng Gao then realized that the group of people already knew each other, and laughed heartily as he chatted and joked with them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Chengsheng pointed to Li Xuanfeng and Zhong Qian, and introduced them to Jiang Heqian and his companion:

"This is Li Xuanfeng, a cultivator from the Li family of Wangyue Lake, and this is my friend, Zhong Qian."

After everyone got to know each other, they stayed on the island and waited quietly for the celestial realm to descend.
