Donghai Sword Manor.
This is the place where He Qi, the Dharma Body of the East Sea Sword Dao, resides. It is a major sect of martial arts in the world and one of the six sword-wielding schools.
Although it cannot compare to the Sword Washing Pavilion with Su Wuming in charge, the remaining four sects are all inferior to the East Sea Sword Manor in the current era.
Among the six sword-wielding sects, the East Sea Sword Manor ranks second.
This led to the rise of the East Sea Sword Manor, which was regarded as a sacred place by the people of the endless islands of the East Sea, who would fight tooth and nail to become its disciples.
If one could be chosen by "Sword Maniac" He Qi and taken as a disciple, that would be an instant rise to the top, a stroke of incredible luck.
On this vast island, which is as large as land, countless ships set sail every day, and countless others sail into the harbor.
People came and went, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
But on this day, to everyone's astonishment, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, rosy clouds filled the air, and a vast, surging sea of energy opened up in the void. A magnificent and ethereal ship, seemingly supporting the heavens and the earth, docked several miles away from the island.
He Qi stood up, and the divine weapon, the longsword, moved in response, appearing in his palm.
He looked solemn as he gazed at the ships outside the island.
Because he couldn't even see through the depths of that towering ship!
"Who is this person? Why have I never heard of such a person before?" He Qi had many questions in his mind, but he didn't show them on his face. He took a step forward and came to the outer edge of the island, standing next to the woman on the ship.
Many people looked at He Qi with admiration in their eyes.
In their minds, He Qi, a "sword maniac" of high-ranking Dharma Master, was a paper tiger to all his enemies, who could be easily slashed to pieces with a single sword strike!
However, the martial artists above the level of Outer Realm looked quite grim.
Because they could sense He Qi's vulnerability when facing that woman.
A celestial being?!
They didn't even dare to think about celestial beings!
"May I ask what brings you here, sir?" He Qi narrowed his eyes and cupped his hands in greeting.
The celestial maiden from Jin'ao Island smiled calmly, and suddenly in her eyes she saw the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the shifting of stars, the formation of the earth, and the undulation of mountains and rivers, as if another world had descended upon this place.
A moment later, the leaf in her hand became profoundly deep, permeated with laws and divine power, its veins deepening to form characters:
"On the winter solstice, at the end of the East China Sea, a banquet will be held on Jin'ao Island. See you there!"
Once the invitation was finished, the celestial maiden casually tossed it out, and it landed in He Qi's hands.
Then the ship flashed and disappeared.
She didn't say a word.
He Qi held the leaf, and with a whoosh, his vision shifted. He saw blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, as well as snow-capped mountains, deserts, swamps, basins, forests, grasslands, and vast oceans. In a daze, he seemed to have entered another world.
Suddenly, the world shattered, turning into streams of light and dissipating. He Qi broke free from the illusory little world contained within the leaves.
"To contain the universe in a single leaf, to enclose Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed..." He Qi murmured, his eyes filled with profound solemnity.
This is a skill that only a celestial being would possess!
That woman was a celestial being!
Jin'ao Island actually sent a celestial being as an envoy?!
"These are turbulent times," He Qi sighed.
As the end times approach, all sorts of demons and monsters have come out.
Although he was a genius!

The Celestial Envoy from Jin'ao Island traveled westward from the East China Sea, arriving at various sects and families with clearly established Dharma Bodies. The East China Sea Sword Manor was the first, but certainly not the last.
At Huamei Manor, Mr. Lu stopped carving, a broken leaf in his hand, lost in thought.
Inside the Sword Washing Pavilion, Su Wuming remained indifferent, letting the leaves burn to ashes.
Then Su Wuming closed his eyes and continued his cultivation, communicating with the "other self" in the outside world, enlightening and integrating them one by one, and strengthening the legendary characteristics.
It's still early before the winter solstice, and he's too lazy to explore the end of the East China Sea.
Strengthening oneself is the right thing to do!
No matter how many schemes or plots you have, I will cut you down with a single sword!
The human Dharma bodies of Chunyang Sect Master Chonghe, Northern Zhou Gao Lan, Extinction Gate Han Guang, Grassland Guerduo, and Luo Sect Dushi Fawang, among others, all received invitations from the Heavenly Immortal Messenger of Jin'ao Island. Most of them were shocked by such miraculous Heavenly Immortal techniques.
Even the major demon kings of the demon race were invited by the celestial maiden in feather robes.
As time went by, more and more people received invitations, and more and more people saw the magnificent ship and the celestial maiden. Finally, amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the relevant news spread.
Jin'ao Island, Celestial Messenger, Winter Solstice Feast, The End of the East China Sea...
Every word stimulates people's sensitive nerves.
Instantly, the world was in an uproar, and everyone felt it was unbelievable.
A celestial being on Golden Turtle Island, only there for an envoy?!
In the present world, only the Shaolin Undying Arhat has reached the realm of Celestial Immortal. Others, even those as powerful as Master Lu and Su Wuming, are still lingering in the realm of Earthly Immortal.
Yet this terrifyingly powerful Celestial Immortal was only fit to be an envoy on the legendary Golden Turtle Island!
Could it be... that Jin'ao Island is still at its peak, with the Celestial Venerable ruling the world, his might dominating the universe, and all immortals paying homage?!
Otherwise, how can we explain the celestial messenger?
Seemingly out of fear, or perhaps for some other purpose, the Feathered Maiden Celestial traversed the Central Plains and grasslands, then went to the Western Regions, detoured through the Southern Wilderness, before finally returning to the Central Plains and arriving at the Shaolin Temple.
Outside the gates of Shaolin Temple, countless martial artists had gathered, all there to watch the spectacle.
They hoped that the only celestial being in the world—the indestructible Arhat—would have a battle with the celestial messenger from Jin'ao Island who had crossed over from another realm.
It's best to win!
This also made the celestial maiden in feathered robes understand that our true world is not a place where we can belittle ourselves.
Besides ordinary martial artists, experts from the outer realms, and even high-level Dharma masters, appeared one after another, either openly visiting Shaolin or hiding in the heavens and earth outside the Shaolin gates, waiting for the appearance of that magnificent ship.
After seeing off Arhat Kongwen and Abbot Wusi, Cao Ya pondered for a moment.
His clone in the Southern Wilderness, "Nine-Complete Warrior," had already received the invitation. Under his deliberate control, and with the cover provided by Qi Zhengyan's Demon Emperor Claw, the Feathered Fairy was unaware of the true nature of "Nine-Complete Warrior."
She only sensed a threat from the "Nine-Complete Warrior"!
This made the celestial maiden in feathered robes feel awe, and she realized even more that the Realm was special, and even though it had declined, it was still incomparable to other realms.
There was no way around it; she had discovered countless peerless weapons along the way.
You must know that on their Golden Turtle Island, powerful figures suppress their deep reserves, and there is no shortage of Heavenly Immortals and Earthly Immortals generation after generation, as well as divine weapons. The accumulation over the generations can be described as quite substantial.
However, divine weapons like the Peerless Swords of the Other Shore are beyond their ability to forge.
The current master of the Demon Emperor's Claw is actually a person with such ideals, pursuing "equality for all and harmony under heaven"—ha, that's truly astonishing...
After leaving the Western Regions, the celestial maiden in feathered robes traveled to the Southern Wilderness and observed its conditions. It was because of this that she felt shocked and curious.
The owner of the Demon Emperor's Claw didn't fall into demonic ways?!
Finally, she glanced warily at the "Nine-Complete Warrior" and Qi Zhengyan, urged the ship onward, and left the Southern Wilderness, heading north to the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains.
This will be her last stop!
After sending out the last invitation, it's time to return to Jin'ao Island.
Meanwhile, inside the Shaolin Temple, Cao Ya was contemplating whether he should accept the invitation, or if he did, whether he should attend the banquet.
He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
