Born with immortal seed

Chapter 235 Deja Vu
A hundred-foot-long jade wall was covered with crisscrossing sword marks of varying depths.

I wonder what kind of fierce struggle could have led to this scene.

In any case, the Tianhe Sword Sect had already conducted experiments. When a Core Formation cultivator used a third-tier flying sword to strike with all his might, he could only leave a faint white mark on the jade wall.

And after a few breaths, the white mark will disappear.

"If we could move the jade disc out, it would probably be an unparalleled spiritual material..."

The thought subconsciously crossed Bai Zichen's mind.

But that's just wishful thinking. The Heavenly River Sword Sect has controlled the secret realm for over three thousand years, so they must have already tried every possibility.

He calmly chose a spot, sat down cross-legged, and began to appreciate the sword marks on the jade disc.

Regarding the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, he has consulted others and borrowed a lot of information in recent days, and he is no longer the novice he once was.

There are thirty-six of these hundred-zhang-long jade discs, each with a different sword mark on it.

Upon entering, the secret realm will assign you a location based on the sword light you unleash, teleporting you to the jade wall it deems suitable.

The sword marks on different jade discs naturally lead to different insights into the mysteries of swordsmanship.

The sword light emanating from the disciples of the Heavenly River Sword Sect was wielded by the sect's elders.

It was through generations of accumulation by the Sword Sect that the rules of teleportation were finally understood, and it became clear what kind of sword light would be teleported to which jade wall.

Therefore, the sword light will be used in a targeted manner based on the characteristics of this disciple, so it is impossible for him to be eliminated in the first level.

This can be considered a negligible advantage that the disciples of the Heavenly River Sword Sect have over outside cultivators.

Concentrating on the sight, he not only looked with his eyes but also touched it with his divine sense, feeling the sword marks left on the jade disc countless years ago.

An overwhelming sword intent pressed down, and thousands upon thousands of sword lights converged into an ocean, slashing towards his sea of ​​consciousness.

Bai Zichen remained fearless. When it came to the level of refinement of his sea of ​​consciousness, he was undoubtedly the best among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation might not be able to defeat him by much.

The furnace of heaven and earth rises, taking in all the incoming sword light and subjecting it to frantic tempering and hammering.

In an instant, more than 90% of the weak sword light was annihilated, leaving only dozens of powerful sword lights still rampaging.

Several large holes had been pierced through the dome by the sword light, causing the sky and earth to shake violently.

Bai Zichen's divine sense transformed into a dragon, capturing the most dazzling sword light.

Then they saw a cultivator dressed in ancient clothes, with a tall crown and wide belt, holding a bright yellow longsword. With one swing of the sword, mountains and rivers collapsed and flowed backward.

It then enveloped the lesser dazzling sword light, within which a stunning figure wielded sword light, causing the celestial phenomena within a radius of a thousand miles to change accordingly.

From blazing sun to dark clouds, from torrential rain to gentle drizzle, from chilly autumn winds to pristine snow.

In a short time, it felt like we had gone through all twenty-four solar terms.

Once he had gathered the two sword lights, the remaining sword lights shattered the sky and flew out into the heavens.

Bai Zichen's vision went black as he exited the state of comprehending the Jade Wall Sword Mark.

He didn't take it seriously and focused on studying the two sword lights that remained in his mind.

The Jade Wall Sword Viewing event is only open for three days.

If no progress is made within three days, the person will be asked to leave the Sword Tomb Secret Realm and will be denied entry to the second level.

"The first sword light was overwhelming, without any tricks or fancy moves, it just used its power to suppress people... It looked like it had no special skills, but it carried the meaning of opening up the world and sealing off space. No matter how many changes you have or how mysterious your escape techniques are, as long as your strength is not as good as mine, you will have to bear this sword and there is no way to avoid it."

Bai Zichen possesses the sword dao lineage of both the Taibai Sword Sect and the Naihe Sect. In terms of insight and vision, no Foundation Establishment disciple of any sword sect in the world can compare with him.

Of course, no one would find this sword light lacking in variation or clumsy.

Only cultivators with years of combat experience can understand how difficult it is to win simply by having superior strength.

To win through righteousness is the ultimate beauty of simplicity.

The shattered mountains and overflowing rivers were all controlled with extreme precision within a certain range, with not a single bit of excess power leaking out.

On a nearby mountain peak, two mountain goats were even leisurely grazing on the grass, seemingly oblivious to the aura of a world being reborn.

Bai Zichen closed his eyes, and the ancient cultivator's sword-wielding movements, adorned with a tall crown and wide belt, were repeated again and again in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The scene went from slow to fast, then back to slow, completing a cycle.

Unseen by him, the Enlightenment Sword Manual, hidden deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, was originally like a giant library.

Since I inherited it so many years ago, it's only lost about two rows of bookshelves.

But just as he was absorbing this earth-shattering sword light, two or three rows of bookshelves in the library formed by the Enlightenment Sword Technique collapsed, shrinking by a quarter.

The next day, Bai Zichen opened his eyes, and even an invisible sword light was reflected in his pupils.

"I've already digested one sword light, so I'm at least able to enter the second level of the Sword Tomb Secret Realm... From now on, I'll try to comprehend as much as possible; this is a rare opportunity."

He had already sensed that being in front of the Jade Wall Sword Mark was equivalent to receiving the true essence of the cultivation technique.

His comprehension speed far exceeded that of usual; the amount of time he gained in one day was probably equivalent to what he would have gained in several years.

The second sword light can influence changes in celestial phenomena, and not just one or two phenomena, but rather the entirety of the twenty-four solar terms within a single sword technique.

"Then this sword light is not simply the sword intent of torrential rain, thunder, frost, etc., but the intent of time!"

Bai Zichen was startled, realizing that his theory of alchemy could be somewhat related to the Great Dao of Time.

With the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword in his hand, a great divine power that confronts time and draws upon the power of time to kill enemies, it would be nonsense to say that he has no interest in the Way of Time in the future development of the Great Dao.

Therefore, anything that can be related to the power of time can attract his full attention.

"Using swordsmanship to depict the changes of the twenty-four solar terms, it appears to be a single sword technique, but it actually integrates all twenty-four sword techniques into one... It's truly terrifying that a swordsman could come up with such an ingenious idea. Unfortunately, the sword technique only borrows a tiny bit of the power of time, and its involvement is not deep, far inferior to the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword."

Bai Zichen felt a little regretful, but he still enjoyed pondering its subtleties.

Although this sword light is ranked lower than the previous one on this jade wall, it is still more complex.

It wasn't until the three days were up that he barely managed to understand it.

A black flame flashed, and Bai Zichen was teleported to the second level of the Sword Tomb Secret Realm.

"This black flame gives me a strange feeling of déjà vu..."

Bai Zichen only had time for this thought to flash through his mind before the world spun around him, and he briefly lost consciousness.

"Useless! You've wasted two precious sword keys!"

Suo Qian looked at the two foreign cultivators who had been kicked out of the secret realm and were lying unconscious on the ground, and said disdainfully.

According to the rules established by True Lord Tianhe, disciples of this sect separate a wisp of power from the key to the secret realm as a token of entry and exit.

The sword key was actually a third-tier flying sword, which was obtained by one of the disciples of True Lord Tianhe.

The strange flying sword, composed of seventy-two bronze swords, was discovered to be able to protect the user as they entered the secret realm after the black jade pendant opened it. Therefore, it was broken down into seventy sword keys and distributed to several sword cultivation sects.

They were redistributed to cultivators with exceptional swordsmanship talent.

According to the rules of True Lord Tianhe, the sword keys that have been recycled cannot be used on disciples of this sect.

Originally, the sword cultivators would be transferred to a few sword cultivation sects, but gradually the rules changed, and they were basically given to disciples of immortal cultivation families or affiliated sects that were close to the sword sect.

The number of swords and keys that are truly passed down is becoming increasingly small.

"Why should Senior Brother Suo be angry? Two more sword keys have returned. Next time, we can select two true sword geniuses to enter the secret realm. Isn't that a good thing?"

With a grab of his long arm, Tang Yuan summoned a giant golden hand that seized two cultivators and placed them on an open ground a hundred feet away.

"Judging from the time, we're already on the second level. I hope my silly disciple is lucky enough to obtain a third-tier flying sword... Once he forms his core, I don't have the personal connections to help him forge another third-tier flying sword."

Among Suo Qian's disciples, one was also on the list of those who entered the Sword Tomb Secret Realm this year.

Judging from his expression, this disciple clearly holds a high position in his heart.

……

Bai Zichen opened his eyes and was greeted by an extremely desolate space.

Countless broken weapons were stuck in the ground, some with only a hilt remaining, others fused together, their original shapes unrecognizable.

"Now I know where the sense of familiarity comes from. Isn't this extremely similar to the secret realm that Lu Song discovered in the Black Mountain? I wonder if all ancient secret realms are like this, or if these two places are related?"

Bai Zichen noticed several cultivators lying on the ground not far away, still unconscious.

This situation must be caused by a difference in spiritual consciousness.

He strode towards the sword mound, which was covered with countless mounds of earth.

The second level of the Sword Tomb Secret Realm is a place of spiritual desolation, where flying is impossible and magic power is disabled. Fortunately, beneath his sword cultivator appearance lies a body cultivator.

With a push of his feet, he leaped several feet into the air and ran towards the center of the sword tomb.

The outer area has been searched countless times, so the probability of finding a third-tier flying sword is extremely low.

We can only explore as deep as possible into the Sword Tomb within a limited day.

The fewer cultivators who set foot in a place, the greater the probability of obtaining a third-tier flying sword.

Bai Zichen ran for dozens of miles in one breath, until his feet were covered with sword mounds, so dense that there was almost no place to step before he stopped.

"Once we get to work, it's not about swordsmanship talent anymore, but about luck and fortune..."

Bai Zichen now had two Tianxin swords as tools, and he began digging at the mound.

"At least I have a major advantage over others. With this powerful body alone, I can dig hundreds more mounds."

When the Sword Tomb Secret Realm first opened, there were third-tier flying swords among the weapons that were crookedly stuck in the ground.

Very conspicuous, and still intact, it is a third-tier flying sword.

Later on, such good things will no longer be possible.

The third-tier flying swords are hidden deeper and deeper, making them increasingly difficult to find.

The soil on the ground was as hard as refined iron, but fortunately, thanks to the sharpness of the Tianxin Sword and the power amplification brought by his second layer of the Five Crystal Glass Body, he was able to overcome the obstacles.

Digging holes with both swords was as easy as cutting tofu; they didn't feel any strain at all.

In just half a day, they had already dug up hundreds of mounds of earth of various sizes.
