As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light seemed to receive a command and instantly unleashed terrifying power.

In an instant, golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire horizon. Even the surrounding space seemed unable to withstand this powerful force and began to distort and deform.

As the golden light surged, the hundreds of people who had been so imposing were instantly engulfed.

A moment later, as the golden light gradually dissipated, everyone was horrified to discover that the hundreds of people who had been so full of life just moments before had completely vanished from the world without leaving a trace, truly a case of death and annihilation.

After annihilating these enemies in one fell swoop, Yuan Zhexian slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Yuan Taixu not far away.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Taixu did not hesitate to retract the energy barrier he had previously erected, and then strode towards Yuan Zhexian.

Upon reaching him, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Yuan Zhexian, shouting with overwhelming emotion, "Five thousand years! Master, you have finally emerged from seclusion! Your disciple has missed you day and night!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes gradually became moist, and glistening tears welled up in them, as if they were about to roll down at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian quickly used his magic to gently help Yuan Taixu to his feet.

Then, he casually said, "Five thousand years! Among the people I know, there are very few who can cultivate to such a profound level in such a long period of time."

Then Yuan Zhexian said with great satisfaction, "Taixu, you have indeed not disappointed your master."

What Yuan Zhexian said was true. If it weren't for the arrival of this golden age in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, people like Yuan Haoran would probably need at least eight or nine thousand years to break through to the Supreme Saint Realm, no matter how talented or hardworking they were.

Upon hearing his master's evaluation, Yuan Taixu just smiled foolishly, then subconsciously scratched his head before quickly replying, "Hehe, all of this is thanks to your careful teachings, Master, and Qingzhou's patient guidance on a daily basis."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Qingzhou, who was standing to the side, immediately smiled and echoed, "Young Ancestor, you are being too modest! If you didn't possess the unparalleled talent and aptitude of the Taixu Sword Body and the invincible posture,"

"No matter how hard I try to teach you, I will never be able to help you successfully step into the threshold of the Integration Realm in just five thousand years."

Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, Yuan Zhexian immediately asked, "Taixu, what exactly was that bamboo stick you were holding just now?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Taixu quickly replied, "Master, this bamboo is called the Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Bamboo."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Qingzhou's expression instantly turned to extreme astonishment, his mouth agape as if it could fit an egg.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "Wh...what? This is actually the legendary Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Bamboo!"

His voice trembled slightly with surprise.

Standing beside him, Yuan Zhexian also looked puzzled, frowning as he pressed, "What is so magical about this Three-Patterned Clear Spirit Bamboo?"

Just then, Yuan Taixu, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke. His gaze was fixed on the mysterious bamboo, and he explained in a solemn tone, "Master, I have learned about this Three-Patterned Clear Spirit Bamboo from the ancient books of the Tianyan Sword Sect."

"It is said that this is a rare and precious elixir of heaven and earth, which has miraculous effects on the body's essence, energy, and spirit."

After a pause, Yuan Taixu continued, "As long as a person is not dead, whether their spirit and soul have suffered severe damage, their body's qi and blood are severely depleted, or their source power has been greatly damaged, simply taking this Three-Patterned Clear Spirit Bamboo will instantly and completely heal all injuries, and will also eliminate all factors that are detrimental to them."

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhexian was suddenly startled.

He thought to himself, "In that case, isn't this Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Bamboo a rare treasure perfectly tailored for my current situation?"

Then, Yuan Taixu continued, "After a thousand years of dedicated cultivation, I am no longer the ignorant child I once was."

“I know that the serious injuries my master suffered back then could not be fully recovered in a short period of time. So this time, in addition to broadening my knowledge and cultivation, the more important thing I want to do is to find some precious natural treasures for my master to help him recover as soon as possible.”

"I never expected to find this extremely rare Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Bamboo here!"

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhexian was immediately filled with an indescribable feeling of emotion.

He gazed at Yuan Taixu before him, his eyes filled with admiration, and then said, "Taixu, I am very pleased that you have such a sentiment."

Immediately afterward, Yuan Taixu spoke again: "Master, look, this Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Bamboo is about to be born. You should hurry and collect it!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian nodded without hesitation and then strode toward the mysterious three-patterned Qingling bamboo.

Just then, an amazing scene unfolded.

Suddenly, the three-patterned Qingling bamboo emitted an extremely intense light, as dazzling as a brilliant shooting star streaking across the night sky.

Accompanied by this bright light, a bamboo stalk emitting strange colors of white, gold, and red slowly rose from the ground, as if it possessed its own life and consciousness.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian made a decisive move, his divine sense suddenly stirring.

In an instant, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from between his brows, swiftly enveloping the floating three-patterned spiritual bamboo like a bolt of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, under the powerful control of Yuan Zhexian, the three-patterned Qingling bamboo seemed to be summoned and obediently absorbed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, just as Yuan Zhexian successfully absorbed the Three-Patterned Pure Spirit Bamboo into his sea of ​​consciousness...

Suddenly, a deep and authoritative voice came from not far away.

"Who is this madman who dares to be so audacious! He actually dares to kill members of my Nine Yin Demon Sect!"

As this angry shout rang out, only the sound of whistling wind could be heard.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight stern-faced, imposing old men appeared before Yuan Zhexian and his companions like ghosts.

They were all dressed in long black robes and exuded a chilling aura, clearly indicating that they were all powerful individuals with unfathomable cultivation levels.

All around each of them was an intense, suffocating aura of darkness and evil.

The aura was as thick as ink, as if it could dye the entire space dark.
