At the meeting, everyone sat with solemnity.
"Huo Wushuang, why hasn't your sister Huo Wu arrived?" Shui Bing'er looked around and noticed Huo Wu's absence.
Huo Wushuang's expression grew uncomfortable as he replied, "Huo Wu went into seclusion for her training, so she couldn't make it."
The sudden news made the atmosphere in the meeting room tense.
Feng Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. After all, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang both belonged to the Fire God lineage, but Huo Wu's cultivation was clearly lagging, and her chances of achieving godhood seemed slim.
As Huo Wushuang's older brother, he felt a sense of heaviness and helplessness.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er calmly announced, "Everyone needn't worry. The Eternal Life Sect will not abandon anyone. Since Huo Wu is one of us, even if she cannot become a deity, she can still accompany us into the divine realm for cultivation and achieve immortality."
Hearing this, the mood among Feng Xiaotian and the others slightly eased.
"Thank you, Elder Bing'er!"
Huo Wushuang was especially moved, expressing his gratitude to Shui Bing'er.
At that moment, Qian Renxue and the others noticed another issue—where was the Order Elder?
"Elder Bing'er, where is the Order Elder?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
Shui Bing'er replied indifferently, "The Order Elder is busy with affairs and has already left this world. Our sect not only oversees this minor plane but also manages countless others."
Having followed Shui Wuya for a long time, Shui Bing'er had naturally picked up some insights.
The crowd was shaken by Shui Bing'er's explanation, but they soon understood.
As they grew, they realized the vastness of the world. A mere continent could hardly contain an organization as immense as the Eternal Life Sect.
"So, the organization we've joined spans across countless realms."
Feng Xiaotian marveled inwardly, his eyes glowing with excitement and anticipation.
Huo Wushuang and the others were equally stirred, their emotions running high.
Qian Renxue, however, felt a bit disheartened and continued to ask, "When will the Order Elder return? Will we have to wait ten thousand years?"
Shui Bing'er paused, gazing deeply at Qian Renxue before explaining, "If there are no urgent matters, it may indeed take ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years?" Everyone was stunned. Thinking in terms of millennia only deepened their awe of the Eternal Life Sect's depth.
Within this vast organization, they felt an infinite potential.
"Will we only see the Order Elder again after ten thousand years?"
Qian Renxue felt a pang of disappointment but soon rallied her spirits.
She thought that while ten thousand years was a long time, it was also a prime opportunity for cultivation.
The Order Elder's trust in her filled her with immense honor, and she resolved to cultivate diligently so that, after ten thousand years, she could impress the Order Elder.
Subsequently, at the Eternal Life Sect's meeting, Shui Bing'er meticulously inquired about each person's cultivation progress, encouraging everyone to complete the divine trials as soon as possible to contribute to the sect.
"Fellow practitioners, our path of cultivation is long and arduous, but with persistence and effort, we can contribute even more to the Eternal Life Sect."
Shui Bing'er stood at the center of the meeting hall, her tone resolute.
Hearing Shui Bing'er's words, a surge of enthusiasm rose among the attendees, and they vowed to work even harder to complete the divine trials at the earliest.
After the meeting, Shui Bing'er stood outside the hall and saw a cute little boy running toward her, stumbling as he threw himself into her embrace.
This boy was Shui Bing'er and Shui Wuya's son, now three years old.
The baby had glossy, jet-black hair and bright, lively eyes. His playful and adorable face was adorned with an innocent smile, making him look as pure and charming as an angel.
Shui Bing'er cradled the baby, gently stroking his hair as she gazed into the sky, her heart filled with longing and affection for Shui Wuya.
"Wuya, how are you?" Shui Bing'er murmured softly, her eyes reflecting both anticipation and reluctance.
The baby lay comfortably in her arms, blinking his large eyes and curiously observing his surroundings.
Seeing the baby's adorable appearance, Shui Bing'er felt an even stronger desire to reunite with Shui Wuya soon.
Meanwhile, in the vast shadows of the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian and Bi Ji led the soul beast army against the rebellious forces.
"Bi Ji, these rebels are becoming increasingly stubborn. It seems we must intensify our attack," Di Tian said gravely.
Bi Ji, standing beside him, replied resolutely, "Yes, Di Tian, we cannot allow them to continue their rampage."
The soul beast army displayed incredible combat prowess. Brilliant flashes of light and powerful soul force waves spread through the forest, driving the rebels into retreat.
Shui Jin'er also took action personally. Radiating a golden glow and using her Beast God power, she directly subdued the rebellious soul beasts.
Among the numerous rebels, two soul beasts with a cultivation level of a hundred thousand years stood out as particularly formidable, but they were eventually subdued by Shui Jin'er.
With an icy gaze, Shui Jin'er addressed the two soul beasts, "Submit to me, or face annihilation."
Under normal circumstances, such rebellious forces would be eradicated without mercy. However, these two soul beasts were exceptionally powerful in the Star Dou Forest and had many loyal followers. If they could be brought under her command, it would significantly boost her belief power.
Of course, if it came to that, elimination would be the only option.
Although trembling under Shui Jin'er's overwhelming pressure, the two soul beasts remained defiant and angry.
"Go ahead and kill us. Lord Silver Dragon King will avenge us!" The two soul beasts glared at Shui Jin'er with fierce, hoarse voices.
Then they turned their wrath towards Bi Ji and Di Tian, cursing, "You traitors, have you forgotten your oath to the Silver Dragon King? How dare you betray him!"
Di Tian and Bi Ji, facing the soul beasts' accusations, remained steadfast.
"The Silver Dragon King has long since given us to the Shui family. We are now servants of Master Shui Wuya, and it is only right that we serve him.
Besides, we have not betrayed our former master. How can we be called traitors?" Bi Ji replied coldly.
"Shui family… Shui Wuya!"
Upon hearing this, the two soul beasts were momentarily stunned, their faces displaying astonishment.
Despite living in the deep mountains, they had heard of the major families and powers on the continent. Especially the Shui family, known as the most prominent and supreme family on the continent, with Shui Wuya being a fearsome figure that struck terror into many.
More importantly, it was rumored that the core area of the Star Dou Forest was now under the control of the Shui family, and any powerful beings attempting to enter would meet with doom.
The two soul beasts realized something, their eyes widening as they looked at Shui Jin'er, whispering, "Could it be that you are also from the Shui family?"
Shui Jin'er nodded slightly, her voice filled with confidence and pride. "Indeed. This campaign in the Star Dou Forest was personally ordered by the Shui family's master. I am one of his trusted subordinates!"
Her voice resonated with authority through the forest.
Upon hearing this, the two soul beasts fell into silence once more, their faces reflecting disbelief.
No wonder Shui Jin'er was so arrogant!
