Born with immortal seed

Chapter 174 Thunderous Body
"From now on, when you go out, you must carry plenty of healing pills with you, just in case."

Bai Zichen had plenty of pills that could enhance cultivation.

However, he didn't have a single elixir that could regenerate flesh from bones and heal injuries.

I haven't traveled much, so I lack experience.

Those sword wounds were all superficial injuries, looking horrifying, with bloody flesh and exposed white bones, but the bleeding had been stopped by circulating magic power.

Just take two more Baicao Shengsheng Dan pills, and you'll be fully recovered in one or two months.

The mines that hit the water at close range had corrosive properties and left a lingering aftereffect.

The ruptured wound showed no signs of healing; instead, it tended to fester and spread.

"I don't know what kind of water-based divine lightning it is. It's not very lethal, but it's extremely insidious... The remaining trace of power is even absorbing mana, making the wound worse and worse."

Bai Zichen leaned against the stone wall, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead, every part of his body aching.

The slightest movement causes excruciating pain.

For a wound from a mine, it needs to be cleansed with the most yang and powerful magic to wash away the residual force before the wound can possibly heal.

The Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture he cultivated could have barely met the requirements.

However, with half of its essence and blood drained, the liquid magic power cannot achieve this level.

I could only bandage the wound simply, avoiding those areas when channeling my magic.

To prevent the magic power from becoming nourishment and instead strengthening the remaining power of the mines.

"The real problem is this sword wound..."

Bai Zichen pressed the sword wound on his chest, a look of shock flashing across his face.

When empowered by the Vajra Fire God Body, one feels no pain at all; it's all about exchanging injury for injury, a ruthless fighting style that disregards life.

Once the duration ends, these injuries could very well be fatal.

If the flying sword had gone in just one more inch deeper, it would have pierced through the internal organs.

Even if he survived with the boundless life force provided by the Glazed Fire God's body, he would most likely perish once he reverted to his mortal form.

"If there is another opportunity to self-destruct the Glazed Body in the future, I must pay attention to this point and not get too carried away... After all, it is only a borrowed realm, not that my own physical body really has this strength."

Bai Zichen secretly reminded himself that it was impossible to encounter such exaggerated life-and-death battles across borders all the time.

If you give yourself enough time to cultivate the fourth level of the Five Crystal Glazed Body, you can maintain the Glazed Fire God Body as normal.

This battle also made him realize in advance how terrifying the Five Crystal Glazed Body could be after reaching the fourth level.

There's a reason why the founding patriarch of the Qingfeng Sect was able to use this to traverse the Core Formation stage and escape from the clutches of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The sword wound on his chest was the result of the dark-faced cultivator's all-out attack, which consumed nearly half of his liquid mana.

Not only did it conceal its tracks and move with lightning speed, but it also carried a powerful and unrestrained sword aura.

Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to leave a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator riddled with holes, and even a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon could still penetrate it.

It should be noted that a cultivator who practices the Dragon Transformation Technique has half the magical power of a normal cultivator.

This strike was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had practiced ordinary techniques, sacrificing their entire body's liquid mana with a desperate sword strike.

The remaining sword energy, like a small snake, desperately tried to coil into his internal organs.

Normally, one could gather all their magical power to suppress the sword energy, and then slowly wear it down and refine it.

But right now he was completely exhausted, his essence and blood depleted, and it would be good if he could exert even 10% of his full strength.

Unable to suppress the sword energy any longer, it rushed into his body and was about to wreak havoc within him.

Its internal organs are fragile; if it were to be agitated by sword energy, it would certainly cause dire consequences.

A ruthless glint flashed in Bai Zichen's eyes. He decided that even if it damaged his very foundation, he would still use his magic power to completely eliminate this sword energy.

At worst, I can find a third-tier restorative elixir and spend several years to replenish my lost essence.

Just as he was about to make his move, the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword, which had been dormant in his dantian, stirred slightly.

Seemingly stimulated by the wisp of sword energy that had entered its body, it rolled over in the Qi Sea Spirit Liquid.

Boom!

Thunder roared, reaching the highest and brightest point, grand and magnificent.

The sound echoed in Bai Zichen's ears and in his mind, miraculously confined to his surroundings and did not emanate outwards in the slightest.

That wisp of sword energy was shattered by the thunderous sound, utterly powerless to resist; it was a complete crushing defeat in terms of rank.

It was as if it had never happened; the chilling sword energy that had pierced straight to the heart was merely an illusion.

Not only the lingering sword energy, but also the insidious and persistent water-based divine lightning power, which was like a bone-deep infection, was dispelled by the thunderous sound.

However, after emitting this thunderous sound, the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo exhausted all the spiritual power it had recovered over the past few years and fell into a deep sleep once again.

He had a feeling that the nurturing time for the sword embryo would be extended by several decades as a result.

Since the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo came with me, it hasn't enjoyed any good fortune. It's a real shame that this once top-tier flying sword didn't live up to its reputation.

"At least the potential danger has been eliminated, and the injury will not worsen..."

Bai Zichen thought for a moment and then took out a Vermilion Fruit Heart-Cleansing Pill.

After acquiring the Millennium Ice Jade, the fire poison generated during cultivation no longer needed to be refined with pills, allowing several of the pills originally purchased to remain.

"The Vermilion Fruit itself has the effect of replenishing vitality and is the main ingredient of several second-tier healing pills... Although the Vermilion Fruit Heart-Cleansing Pill is more focused on clearing the heart and removing heat, it still retains a trace of healing effect, which is better than nothing."

After swallowing one pill, its medicinal power circulated throughout my body after being refined, and indeed, it brought a slight sense of vitality.

Those hideous and terrifying wounds quickly scabbed over and began to heal for the better.

After taking three Zhu Guo Jing Xin Pills in succession and meditating in the snake cave for more than ten days, his face finally regained its color for the first time.

Bai Zichen got up, found a clean Taoist robe in his storage bag, and changed out of the tattered, blood-stained clothes he was wearing.

I stretched my muscles a little, but I still felt very weak. I was out of breath after just a few steps.

"As long as no one else is involved, walking normally should be fine... The spiritual energy here is too poor, and there are no suitable healing pills or nourishing spiritual foods. If we stay here for another two or three years, we won't be able to recover."

Bai Zichen relaxed slightly. The fact that no cultivators had appeared nearby for so long meant that the black-faced cultivator he had killed either had no companions in the Immortal City, or that his companions had given up on finding the murderer because they lacked targeted search methods.

At least for the time being, they got rid of this unknown force that had a life-or-death feud with the Fish-Dragon Sect.

With a flick of his wrist, two flying swords and a blue storage bag appeared in his hand.

The Heavenly Sword, a peculiar flying sword capable of concealing its light, was damaged in spirit after being struck by his own palm.

It will probably need to be properly repaired before it can be used again.

The blue storage bag was smooth and distinctly different from the one I used. It was embroidered with clusters of dragons, none of which had horns on their heads.

Trying to infiltrate with one's divine sense, one was quickly repelled by layers of restrictions, all tightly sealed.

"A superior storage bag!"

Bai Zichen exclaimed with slight delight, "As expected of someone who has completed the Foundation Establishment stage, even their storage bags are of a higher grade."

No wonder he only had one storage bag; it turned out to be a top-grade one.

It can hold as much stuff as you want.

However, the black-faced cultivator's cultivation level far exceeded his own, and it would not be something he could do in a short time to crack this high-grade storage bag.

Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm hold a noble status.

If it is a Core Formation level power, you can refer to Wei Dao, the most important person below the Core Formation Ancestor. He can choose all the precious things in the sect and embodies the Core Formation aspirations of the entire sect.

In a Nascent Soul level power, they would be core disciples, the most direct descendants of direct descendants, like the twelfth son of the Du family.

Therefore, Bai Zichen was not worried that such a person would have marks left by other cultivators on their personal belongings, which would allow them to track him down.

I'm afraid the other party has items like soul lamps or life tablets, which could reveal the murderer who killed the black-faced cultivator.

The soul lamp of the Qingfeng Sect works like this: if an elder or true disciple of the sect perishes outside, the sect's top leader will know the news.

At the same time, through secret methods, an imperceptible and extremely difficult-to-remove mark will be left on the killer before death.

If you possess a Soul Lamp, the Soul Lamp will emit light and guide you as long as you are within a hundred miles of it.

If Qingfeng Sect has this method, then sects of similar level will also have one or two similar secret techniques hidden away.

However, soul lamps and life tablets are usually kept in places like the sect's ancestral hall or family ancestral hall, so the probability of carrying them with you when you go out is too small.

"Moreover, the thunderous sound of the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo just now may have shattered the mark on my body... However, as long as I still use the Yinzhu Sword and the Tianxin Sword, there is still a possibility of being exposed."

Both of these flying swords were forging techniques that the Bai family's ancestor took from the Fish-Dragon Sect.

Bai Zichen had suspected back then how could his ancestor, a mere inner disciple, possess such a secret technique and have passed down to the Bai family many treasures that were clearly beyond his own level?

Now, combining the words of the dark-faced cultivator, I had some guesses in my mind.

"Could it be that the Fish-Dragon Sect suffered a great upheaval back then, and the ancestor took advantage of the chaos to abscond with this batch of wealth and flee to Black Mountain?"

"Or perhaps, when the Fish-Dragon Sect was on the verge of collapse, the elders instructed loyal disciples to each take a portion of the sect's legacy and flee in all directions, leaving behind the lineage in the hope that it would one day be revived and have the opportunity to rebuild the Fish-Dragon Sect?"

The answer can only be known by the resurrection of the Bai family's ancestor.

Bai Zichen put the two flying swords into his storage bag, and stuffed the dragon-patterned high-grade storage bag into his chest so that it wouldn't be noticed if he hung it on his waist.

They put away the battle flags, burned their blood-stained clothes, and destroyed all traces of their healing efforts here.

Then he summoned the colorful white cloud robe and flew into the sky towards the Righteous Alliance.

"It's too risky to go back to the sect in this state. If even two early Foundation Establishment cultivators come along, I'll probably die... I should find a safe place and recover first."

Bai Zichen sensed that he was definitely unable to activate or use the Taiyin Star Escape Talisman in his current state.

Without this third-tier escape talisman, I'll have far fewer trump cards to use.

The Five Crystal Glass Body fell back to the first level. In a state of exhaustion and depletion of qi and blood, it was impossible for it to fully control the flying sword.

Not to mention that his body is covered in wounds, and any slight movement could cause them to burst open again, resulting in a gush of blood.

His current state is probably similar to that of a cultivator who has just successfully established their foundation.

Even if the game drags on, they still won't be a match for their opponent.

The Righteous Alliance is one of the most powerful forces in the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom, with the Righteous Qi Sect at its core. Four sects at the Core Formation level follow its lead, making it a benchmark sect for the righteous path.

The great war between the righteous and demonic factions that swept across most of Liang Kingdom was led by the Righteous Alliance.

Since it claims to be a righteous sect, the atmosphere within the territory of the Righteous Alliance is relatively peaceful and positive, similar to that of Black Mountain County.

Therefore, during the great battle between the righteous and demonic paths, a large number of independent cultivators sided with the Righteous Alliance.

When it comes to which government provides greater dignity and security, people will vote with their feet.
