"Second Senior Brother Lin Jingyu went to the Sword Burial Valley in the Western Continent last month," Bai Linger continued.
"It is said that the inherited sword intent of an ancient Sword Dao mighty figure has recently manifested there. Second Senior Brother's Green Lotus Ultimate Sword Physique is the most sensitive to it, so he went to retrieve that wisp of sword intent and integrate it into his own Sword Dao."
The second disciple, Lin Jingyu, possessed the Green Lotus Ultimate Sword Physique. Although it was also a top-tier Sword Dao physique, it followed a different path from Eldest Senior Sister Ye Qingxue's Void Sword Physique.
Ye Qingxue focused on controlling ten thousand swords, while Lin Jingyu focused on cultivating a single sword, emphasizing the concept of using the body as a sword, man and sword becoming one, and breaking all laws with a single strike.
"Fifth Junior Brother accidentally subdued a newly born cluster of Nine Nether Underworld Fire a few days ago. This fire is cold, violent, and extremely difficult to tame. Also, Eighth Junior Brother Shi Jian and Tenth Junior Brother Han Feng have recently gained some enlightenment, so they are all in secluded cultivation."
The fifth disciple, Xiao Yi, possessed the Heaven-Burning Imperial Flame Physique, a top-tier fire-attribute holy physique. He was born with the ability to control various spiritual fires, and his dantian was like an endless furnace.
The eighth disciple, Yun Tianhe, possessed the Delusion-Shattering Golden Eyes, rendering all laws void as he could look directly into the essence of laws.
The tenth disciple, Han Feng, possessed the Extreme Heaven Wind Spirit Dao Physique, moving traceless like the wind and reaching the pinnacle of speed.
"Sixth Junior Brother and Seventh Junior Sister are currently overseeing the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the Northern Continent.
The Myriad Treasures Pavilion is one of the trading and intelligence organizations supported by our Holy Land. Recently, they had some friction with a local veteran sect, the Profound Nether Sect, over the distribution of a newly discovered spirit stone vein.
The other party seems to have some background and a tough attitude. Sixth Junior Brother and Seventh Junior Sister went there personally to handle it and prevent the situation from escalating."
The sixth disciple, Qin Yu, possessed the Five Elements Chaos Physique, which was compatible with the five elements. His spiritual power was centered and peaceful, capable of simulating and converting into any attribute of spiritual power.
The seventh disciple, Fang Yuwei, possessed the Ten Directions Heavenly Sound Dao Physique. She could communicate with the spiritual rhythm of heaven and earth, soothe the divine soul, and stimulate potential. She could also turn it into sonic attacks, killing invisibly.
"There is also Ninth Junior Sister Xu Mengyao; she went to the Zhuge family in the Central Continent," Bai Linger finally said.
"The Heavenly Secret Pavilion under the Zhuge family excels at deducing heavenly secrets and divining fortunes and misfortunes. They have been helping us deduce your whereabouts all these years.
A while ago, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion sent word saying they had deduced a trace of your whereabouts, so Ninth Junior Sister rushed over."
The ninth disciple, Xu Mengyao, possessed the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Dao Physique, an ancient supreme ice-attribute holy physique. With a single thought, she could freeze ten thousand miles, wielding boundless power.
After listening to Bai Linger's words, Gu Changyuan nodded slowly.
Of his ten disciples, six were now running about outside, three were in secluded cultivation, and only Bai Linger remained to oversee the Holy Land. It was truly hard on her.
However, the foundation of the Celestial Human Holy Land today was no longer what it used to be.
With four disciples holding the fort, it was enough to deal with any unexpected events.
Moreover, the current Celestial Human Holy Land had over one hundred and fifty Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators they could deploy.
Such a number was unmatched by any family or sect faction in the Nine Heavens Realm.
The foundation of the Celestial Human Holy Land was actually far less profound than those great families and major sects with tens of thousands of years of inheritance.
After all, the Holy Land had only been established for a thousand years. His ten disciples were also just over a thousand years old, exactly at the age of forging ahead and being unable to sit idle.
Yet, those Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts from major sects and great families with tens of thousands of years of inheritance, even if they were all entities starting at ten thousand years of age, absolutely did not dare to provoke the Celestial Human Holy Land.
The root causes were, firstly, the heaven-shaking talent and combat prowess of the ten patriarchs, and secondly, the overwhelmingly massive base of Tribulation Transcendence Realm and Mahayana Realm cultivators in the Celestial Human Holy Land.
"Do you have their respective information coordinates?"
Gu Changyuan took over the conversation, his gaze falling on Bai Linger.
"Mhm."
Not daring to delay, Bai Linger gently raised her pale hand, and a translucent white jade plaque appeared in her palm.
Gu Changyuan took the jade plaque from Bai Linger. With a sweep of his divine sense, the exact locations of his six disciples who were out in the world became clear in his mind.
He put the jade plaque away, a plan already forming in his heart.
The first priority was to settle the Holy Land and consolidate its foundation.
He intended to secretly set up an exclusive spatial teleportation array within the core of his former residence within three days, one that would allow him to return to the Holy Land at any time, ignoring all distance.
As long as he was still in the Nine Heavens Realm, he could return with a single thought.
However, a spatial teleportation grand array was far more complex to set up than ordinary arrays, and it would certainly take a considerable amount of time.
Once completed, he would immediately set off for the relatively dangerous Outer Realm to find his eldest disciple, Ye Qingxue, and his fourth disciple, Yue Lingxi, who were still risking their lives there searching for his whereabouts.
Furthermore, according to Bai Linger, communications between the Outer Realm and the Nine Heavens Realm were frequently cut off. If the two of them encountered trouble, they might not even have time to send a message.
Only by going there personally could he feel at ease.
Only now did he remember that back at the Immortal Ascension Terrace, he had conveniently brought Dugu Shiling along with him.
He turned around and looked at Dugu Shiling, who had been standing quietly behind him, not daring to speak out of turn.
Sensing Gu Changyuan's gaze, Dugu Shiling's heart skipped a beat. She hastily took a step forward and respectfully knelt on one knee.
"Junior Dugu Shiling greets the Holy Ancestor!"
Now that she had been brought to the peak of Tianyuan Mountain, the core of the Heavenly Human Holy Land, by Gu Changyuan, she was undoubtedly a disciple of the Holy Land, only lacking the formal initiation ceremony.
Gu Changyuan was the founding patriarch of the Heavenly Human Holy Land. Calling him Holy Ancestor was not only reasonable but entirely appropriate.
Gu Changyuan gave a slight nod. His gaze fell upon her, his tone peaceful yet carrying a hint of approval.
"Your temperament is not bad. On the Immortal Ascension Terrace, even knowing you had reached your limit, you still managed to step onto the ninetieth tier through sheer willpower. Such perseverance is commendable."
Pausing for a moment, he added,
"You possess the Ice Heart Jade Bone Physique, an outstanding constitution among ice-attribute physiques. It is most compatible with the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Dao Physique of the Ninth Ancestor, Xu Mengyao. You are well-suited to become her disciple.
However, she is currently at the Zhuge family in the Central Continent, so your apprenticeship will have to be postponed for now."
Before he finished speaking, spiritual light flashed at Gu Changyuan's fingertips, and a token appeared out of thin air, floating gently down in front of Dugu Shiling.
"This is the disciple token of the Ninth Ancestor of the Heavenly Human Holy Land. Take it for now."
Earlier, when the people of the Holy Land gathered at the Immortal Ascension Terrace, he had already used his divine sense to scan everyone's faces and the designs of their tokens.
With his current methods, forging a disciple token was as easy as lifting a finger.
Seeing this, Bai Linger quickly chimed in,
"Take the token and head directly to the Ninth Peak, Cold Moon Peak, to find Elder Taiyin there.
Once she sees the token, she will naturally arrange a place for you to cultivate and live. Just focus on your cultivation from now on."
"Yes! Thank you, Holy Ancestor! Thank you, Third Ancestor!"
Dugu Shiling was ecstatic. She hastily took the token with both hands and bowed deeply to the two of them, her face full of gratitude.
Bai Linger could not be bothered to say more to her. With a wave of her pale hand, a gentle stream of spiritual energy enveloped Dugu Shiling.
In the next second, Dugu Shiling's figure vanished from the courtyard, transported directly to Cold Moon Peak.
Having her stick around would only hinder her from catching up with her master!
