Chapter 937: Chapter 168: As Time Passes, the Blood Demon Child Advances

"If we can truly cultivate two Sword Cultivators to the Divinity Transformation stage before the Ghost Race launches a full invasion, perhaps we can recreate the scene from those years ago!"

Liu Bai thought to himself.

He knew well that the reason the Ghost Race was making a comeback must be because the Ghost Emperor had recovered from his injuries.

At the Late-Stage Divinity Transformation, with the current power of the Human Realm, it might be difficult to resist, and he did not believe that Fang Jiuzun would really sacrifice himself for the Human Race.

With a sigh, he turned his gaze back to Wang Erniu in front of him,

"Erniu, your task ahead is to fully comprehend the Sword Dao and strive to reach the Nascent Soul Peak as soon as possible!"

"As for your cultivation, don’t worry. Sword Lake Palace will fully support your advancement!"

Saying this, he glanced around, opened his palm, and summoned a jade bottle three inches in size, placing it in front of Wang Erniu,

"Inside this is a drop of Spirit-Encompassing Dew, which can help you reach the Peak of Early-Stage Nascent Soul in the shortest time!"

"Yes, thank you, master!" Wang Erniu accepted it,

He recognized this item; before, Zhou Xun had relied on this treasure to quickly reach the Early-Stage Peak and then make a breakthrough to the Middle-Stage,

He didn’t expect to also have the fortune to obtain this treasure!

Wang Erniu took a deep breath, solemnly received the jade bottle, knelt on one knee, "Disciple will not fail master’s expectations and will retreat into seclusion to cultivate arduously, breaking through as soon as possible!"

Liu Bai nodded slightly, his eyes full of hope, "Go on, from now on, you shall cultivate at Sword Lake Palace, and if you intend to leave, inform your master first,"

"Yes, disciple obeys!"

Then, Liu Bai left the forbidden area and went outside.

As for Liu He, he returned to his elder form. Now that the revelation of Liu Bai’s reappearance had to remain secret, he, as the Grand Elder, naturally had to keep going.

Returning to the main hall, the elders were still waiting there,

"How is it?" the white-haired elder asked.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Qingfeng took a deep breath, his thoughts drifting back to the scene when Sword God Liu Bai appeared,

and then he nodded heavily:

"Indeed, Wang Erniu is truly the Grandmaster’s direct disciple!"

He then couldn’t help but cast his gaze toward Grand Elder Liu He,

Liu He also nodded solemnly.

With both the Sect Leader and Grand Elder personally certifying it, there was naturally no mistake.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired elder trembled violently, his eyes instantly reddened, his muddled eyes suddenly glowing brightly. His lips quivered fiercely, and his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Really... it’s truly the Grandmaster, the Grandmaster is still alive!" The white-haired elder’s voice choked with emotion, an uncontrollable excitement within him,

"Our Sword Lake Palace finally has hope!"

He murmured to himself, his gaze looking into the distance as if penetrating countless barriers, seeing the glorious scenes of Sword Lake Palace’s past.

Recalling the numerous difficulties and suppression Sword Lake Palace faced after Sword God Liu Bai’s disappearance, watching their territory continuously shrink, and the disciples’ morale increasingly plummet.

And now, with Liu Bai’s direct disciple emerging, it was like a ray of dawn lighting up the dark path ahead for Sword Lake Palace.

As long as Sword God Liu Bai was there, Sword Lake Palace remained the powerful Divinity Transformation Sect it once was that shook the world.

As for the other elders, they too were affected by the white-haired elder’s emotions, and for a while, the atmosphere in the main hall became lively, and hope shone in everyone’s eyes.

They at Sword Lake Palace had been silent for too long!

A grey-robed elder was the first to react, his voice passionate:

"Since Wang Erniu is the direct disciple of the Grandmaster, then he should naturally assume the position of Saint Heir. If anyone disagrees, they should first face my sword!"

"I have no objection!"

"Nor do I!"

...

Almost in an instant, all the elders were unanimous, including that young elder at the start.

Thus from this moment onwards, Wang Erniu officially took on the position of the Saint Heir of Sword Lake Palace.

True Monarch Qingfeng showed a look of satisfaction, he surveyed the elders and said loudly,

"Since that’s the case, from today onwards, Wang Erniu is the Saint Heir of Sword Lake Palace, entitled to all treatments and privileges of a Saint Heir. Elders, you must fully assist the Saint Heir in his cultivation without any neglect."

The elders all clasped their fists and said in unison: "We will follow the Sect Leader’s orders!"

According to the rules of Sword Lake Palace, the Saint Heir represents the current Divinity Transformation Seed, receiving the Sect’s full support until he successfully breaks through to Divinity Transformation, or voluntarily steps down or passes away!

At the same time, there will also be two Great Cultivator level elders serving as Guardians to protect him.

Having decided this, Wang Erniu went to cultivate at Holy Son Peak, which was the best Taoist ground at Sword Lake Palace, second only to Sword God Peak.

...

At Holy Son Peak, Wang Erniu carefully examined the Taoist ground. He saw the mountain peak towering into the clouds, surrounded by mist, with Spiritual Qi so dense it seemed almost tangible,

strands of Spiritual Qi like lively fish swimming through the air.

"Tier Four High-Grade!"

Wang Erniu was amazed,

"If only my elder brother could come here to cultivate as well!"

But he knew this was impossible; Sword Lake Palace would not allow an outsider to cultivate in such a core area as Holy Son Peak,

unless Sword God appeared and personally gave the order.

At the top of the mountain, an ancient palace stood quietly, with blue tiles and green bricks, beautifully carved beams and painted rafters, reflecting a faint golden light under the sunlight.

Wang Erniu slowly stepped inside, choosing a side hall where he sat cross-legged,

waving his hand to take out the jade bottle, which was indeed the "Spirit-Encompassing Dew,"

he removed the stopper, and a drop of crystal-clear dew slowly rose from the jade bottle, shimmering with colorful light in the faint light,

Wang Erniu opened his mouth, and the Spirit-Encompassing Dew instantly transformed into a stream of light, descending through his throat straight into his Dantian. In that instant, a majestic spiritual power exploded within him,
