Exhausted from his extended teaching session, Bai Yu retreated to his residence and plunged into cultivation. Time seemed to melt away within the confines of his secluded training. A year had already passed, a mere blip on the radar for a Law Domain Master whose lifespan stretched to a staggering five millennia. Today, however, held a special significance – it was his twentieth birthday.
Emerging from seclusion after a year of focused training, a satisfied smile played on Bai Yu's lips. His efforts had paid off. He had not only honed his existing skills but also mastered a critical technique – the creation of a Domain during combat. This new ability significantly enhanced his power in the heat of battle.
He was also eager to witness the changes that had transpired within the Bai Clan. The Spirit Gathering Array he'd implemented had undoubtedly bolstered the island's spiritual energy, and he anticipated substantial growth. With a purposeful stride, he summoned the clan's leadership to the main hall.
Upon arrival, the Elders were greeted by the sight of their leader, a smile crinkling the corners of his eyes. Bai Yu couldn't help but notice ten new figures among them – Xiantian Realm experts. The Bai Clan had multiplied its ranks of Xiantian cultivators in just one year, a testament to the potent spiritual energy and Bai Yu's effective leadership.
Report on the clan's progress during my seclusion," Bai Yu commanded, his voice firm yet jovial.Elder Xiu stepped forward, a glint of pride in his eyes. "My Lord," he began, "the Bai Clan has undergone a remarkable transformation. We boast a significant number of new experts, and the younger generation thrives under the influence of the enhanced spiritual energy."
Bai Yu's smile widened. "Excellent news," he boomed, his laughter echoing through the hall.Elder Xiu continued, his voice dropping to a lower register. "Additionally, we've received news that the legendary Lost Star Cave is set to open in two months."A surge of excitement coursed through Bai Yu. "The Lost Star Cave?" he exclaimed, his voice laced with a hint of awe. Legends whispered of this vast cavern, a treasure trove overflowing with riches beyond imagination."Yes, my Lord," Elder Xiu confirmed. "The rumors claim the Lost Star Cave holds countless treasures.
"Excellent," Bai Yu declared, a glint of determination flashing in his golden eyes. "I will lead an expedition into the cave. However, only the first two who break through to the Middle Xiantian Realm will join me. This is your chance to excel – train diligently and aim for greatness!"With that, he vanished in a blur, leaving the Elders buzzing with anticipation and a renewed sense of purpose.
