After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 119 Dark Tides in the Galaxy

In a quiet cave dwelling on Lingyun Peak.

"Elder, you must have heard about what happened at the Qingyun Sect recently, right?" Han Chuanming said respectfully to an old man in white.

This old man in white is none other than Bai Xiaotian, the Grand Elder of the White Tiger Sect.

"I understand now. What's your opinion as the sect leader of the White Tiger Sect?" Bai Xiaotian asked in return.

Based on the available intelligence, Han Chuanming speculated: "In my opinion, the Qingyun Sect is very likely planning to attack our White Tiger Mountain! They are spreading rumors about attacking large spiritual veins simply to divert our White Tiger Sect's forces."

Bai Xiaotian frowned and pressed on, "Then, have you considered how they will break through our sect's defensive formation? This is our White Tiger Sect's last line of defense!"

After a moment's thought, Han Chuanming replied, "Well... based on my understanding of our White Tiger Mountain defensive formation, it would be no easy task to force a breakthrough, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the other side might find a flaw in the formation or invite an expert to help."

"Since they have made up their minds to destroy our White Tiger Sect, they must have taken strong measures on both sides."

"The array's core is located within White Tiger Mountain. There must be insiders involved in destroying it! We must be extra vigilant, and the person guarding the core must be absolutely reliable!"

"Understood!" Han Chuanming replied.

"By the way, I heard the Grand Elder mention before that the only weakness of our sect's defensive array is that a certain celestial phenomenon can affect the array's defensive effectiveness, is that right?" Han Chuanming then asked.

Okay, here is the expanded version based on the information you provided:

"Indeed, our sect's defensive formation is an eighth-order formation passed down for thousands of years—the Nine Revolutions Star Formation. This formation is exquisite and incredibly powerful."

"Once the formation is set up, it can not only make full use of the surrounding spiritual energy, but also draw on the power of the vast stars to strengthen the defense."

"Because of this unique design, when the rare 'Star River Surge' celestial phenomenon descends, the stellar power of the sect's location will be greatly reduced, and this is also the time when the formation is most vulnerable!" Bai Xiaotian calmly explained the secrets of the sect's formation in detail.

"So, how often does this 'Star River Surge' appear?" Han Chuanming asked eagerly.

“Since the founding of our sect, such a spectacle has been extremely rare. The last time it appeared was three hundred years ago,” Bai Xiaotian replied calmly.

"So, this time it won't just happen by chance, will it?" Han Chuanming asked tentatively.

"It's really unfortunate that we've run into this one!" Bai Xiaotian said helplessly.

"How much time do we have left?" Han Chuanming suddenly felt immense pressure.

"One month!" Bai Xiaotian replied calmly.

"This timeframe is way too tight!" Han Chuanming said anxiously.

"Hmph, I think there's plenty of time!" Bai Xiaotian snorted lightly and said indifferently.

"Elder, have you already come up with a solution?" Han Chuanming asked excitedly upon hearing this.

“A few days ago, I found a great treasure in the secret realm left by the founding ancestor of the sect. I have already refined most of it, so it should be no problem to deal with the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Qingyun Sect,” Bai Xiaotian said confidently.

"What if the Azure Cloud Sect invites Zhu Chengfeng from the Vermilion Bird Sect? Our White Tiger Sect doesn't have any other Nascent Soul stage cultivators who can rival him!" Han Chuanming asked, puzzled.

"No problem, I will invite Fellow Daoist Huangfu Song of Huanglong Sect to come and help later. It should be fine! At worst, I will give him a few top-grade magic treasures!" Bai Xiaotian explained.

"The rest are the Core Formation stage cultivators from the Qingyun Sect. They used to have a lot of people, but this time they were scattered, which gave us an opportunity!" Bai Xiaotian added.

"But are we just going to stand by and watch those markets be attacked without doing anything?" Han Chuanming asked, his face full of worry. He was extremely anxious, after all, the people in those markets were innocent, and if they didn't receive timely assistance, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Bai Xiaotian laughed and shook his head, full of confidence in the strength of the White Tiger Sect: "Chuanming, you are still too young. You underestimate the foundation and heritage of our White Tiger Sect over the past thousand years."

"To tell you the truth, the sect has always kept several extremely precious long-distance teleportation talismans, precisely to deal with such emergencies!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise and admiration flashed in Han Chuanming's eyes.

He hadn't expected that the White Tiger Sect had such a powerful trump card.

Bai Xiaotian continued, "Now is the time to use these teleportation talismans. As long as we use them, we can instantly reach the attacked market and deliver a crushing blow to the enemy!"

Han Chuanming breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time asked with some doubt, "Elder, since you have such a powerful teleportation talisman, why didn't you take it out sooner? It made me worry for quite a while!"

Bai Xiaotian smiled slightly and explained earnestly, "This is called being prepared for a rainy day. We won't easily reveal this trump card unless absolutely necessary."

"Moreover, only when facing a real crisis can you young people understand the profound foundation and power of the sect." After saying this, his face was filled with pride.

"I understand, Elder!" Han Chuanming said awkwardly.

"Have you investigated the matter of the traitor within the sect?" Bai Xiaotian asked the person in front of him with sharp eyes, a calm expression, and an authoritative voice.

Han Chuanming hesitated slightly, but still answered firmly, "Elder, after much investigation, we can be basically certain that the mole is none other than the Zhao family! Elder, do you intend to personally take action to eliminate them?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotian raised an eyebrow, looked at Han Chuanming with a half-smile, and said earnestly, "Young man, you must not be so hasty and impulsive in your actions. You must think thrice before you act and use your brain more!" After saying that, he did not forget to glare at him fiercely.

After a moment's thought, Han Chuanming understood the Grand Elder's intention and said with a smile, "The Grand Elder is indeed thoughtful and far-sighted!"

"This young man is teachable!" Bai Xiaotian cast an approving glance at him.

"Elder, I'll head down now, so as not to disturb your rest!" Han Chuanming said, preparing to leave.

"Go ahead, I'm also planning to visit some old friends later," Bai Xiaotian said calmly.

Soon the cave quieted down and returned to normal.

……

Ye Xiaobai's cave dwelling.

Ye Xiaobai has recently fully refined the sixth-order puppet. He figured something big must be happening soon, and since his cultivation level wouldn't improve much in the short term, he could only try to gather some information.

After reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage, Ye Xiaobai discovered that his ability to shield his aura had greatly improved after practicing the One Breath Sensing a Thousand Miles technique. He could completely conceal his aura using colorless and odorless pills.

Ye Xiaobai has also successfully refined this breath-holding pill.

This makes it much safer for Ye Xiaobai to go out and gather information.
