Born with immortal seed

Chapter 251 Improvement in Swordsmanship
Once the True Boat is refined and can be freely activated, Bai Zichen can travel between the mountain gate and Feiyue Lake in an instant.

Last month, I stayed at Hanxiu Peak in the Bai clan's territory for a period of time. Apart from refining the Seeking Truth Ship, I also took the time to give some pointers to the younger generation of the Bai family.

However, let alone geniuses of extraordinary talent, there isn't even a clansman of Bai Ling's caliber who could bring honor to the family.

The so-called Foundation Establishment seeds within the clan are far inferior to Bai Ling and Bai Wei back then.

"The limited pool of talent means we can only select promising individuals from the Bai clan's mortal population, making the chances of finding a genius too low... Oh well, at worst we can just spend more resources to help Ziying and Ziyu reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and leave the rest to fate."

With the Qingfeng Sect's rule that cultivation families cannot admit immortal offspring without blood ties, the development speed of each family is greatly restricted.

If it were placed elsewhere, the mortal population could expand rapidly, which would be better, but the arable land in the Black Mountain Range is limited, and most of it is spiritual land.

This leaves much less room for ordinary people to develop.

If Bai Zichen's grand ambition comes true and he manages to establish ten spiritual veins, it will not only provide the Qingfeng Sect with enough spiritual land for its disciples to use.

Even vacant, low-grade sacred land can be used to grow ordinary rice, which can sustain countless lives.

Before long, the mortal population of Black Mountain will increase significantly, and the number of immortal offspring will increase year-on-year.

"The Naihe Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a Nascent Soul sect. Judging from the cultivation techniques and secret arts flowing from the inheritance stone tablet, it may even be a super sect that has produced Nascent Soul experts... The Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique, the God Forging Technique, and the Enlightenment Sword Art that I obtained for the second time, could all be considered as inherited secret techniques in any Nascent Soul sect."

Looking back, the lineage of the Naihe Sect is extraordinary, far surpassing that of the Qingfeng Sect.

This sect originated from an extremely remote and frigid land, far from the five inland regions, and rarely interacted with the cultivation world in the interior, separated by a bitter sea stretching for millions of miles.

I really don't know how the Five Sacred Mountains Immortals obtained the inheritance stele of the Naihe Sect.

"However, the Five Crystal Glazed Body technique in our sect is in no way inferior to the Naihe Sect's inheritance in terms of power, and even surpasses it. It's just that the difficulty of cultivation is too great, so its reputation is not well known... The Cantong Qi, as a technique brought from the other side of the outer sea by the founding ancestor, should also be extraordinary."

He has already used his Core Formation Realm authority to copy back the entire Cantongqi and the complete Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture.

Unfortunately, the inheritance stele in the Five Sacred Mountains Temple had reached the limit of its use and shattered into countless pieces, making it impossible for young disciples to receive the inheritance.

Of the inheritances he received later, almost none were worthy of his attention.

However, one of the inner disciples obtained the complete fourth-tier weapon refiner inheritance and was taken in as a disciple by Dai Hui.

Because he comprehended two sword intents in front of the Sword Mark Jade Wall in the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, Bai Zichen has already digested most of the Enlightenment Sword Technique.

The Enlightenment Sword Art only has a few sword techniques left, which are in directions he has never encountered before, so they still exist in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Bai Zichen planned to completely conquer it before the war of pioneering.

Let's see how much the supposedly miraculous Sword Heart Clarity Technique, which claims to dismantle all sword techniques in the world, can actually boost one's combat power.

However, judging from the preceding state of "a clear mind," this realm greatly enhances one's grasp of the battle situation and the ability to find opportunities to defeat the enemy.

"Nine Illusion Sword Technique, sword light becomes shadow, sword light is like an illusion... using flying swords to create illusions, causing the opponent to fall into an illusion."

"The Seven Emotions Sword Technique stirs up emotions, causing the opponent to be plagued by inner demons and unable to control themselves... It follows the path of the Heart Sword, which is extremely rare."

"The Heavenly Question Sword Technique asks nine questions to the heavens, using faith as its sword... The stronger one's own faith, the greater the power of the sword technique. It is a sword technique that is not limited by the upper limit of cultivation."

"The Hundred Poisons Sword Gu is unique, a marvelous combination of Gu worms and swordsmanship... It integrates several specific Gu worms into the sword light. Some Gu worms are as thin as ox hairs and can silently infiltrate the enemy's body. Some Gu worms feed on the essence of metals and can add the ability to damage the opponent's flying sword to the sword light. Some highly poisonous Gu worms fill the sword light with poisonous gas, and even a Core Formation cultivator may be affected without realizing it."

These four sword techniques represent four directions of development.

Bai Zichen doesn't necessarily need to learn all the math, but as long as he internalizes it, he won't be afraid of encountering it in the future and will know how to counter it.

"The Enlightenment Sword Technique can be broken down into at least dozens of top-tier sword techniques. If someone is willing, they can delve into these four techniques and evolve them to an extremely high level..."

Everyone's situation is different. Bai Zichen doesn't lack cultivation techniques, but he lacks time.

Although he is called a sword cultivator, he is not so devoted to the sword that he is completely single-minded. It's just that he happened to inherit the best skills and the flying swords he wields are all top-of-the-line.

Given that he is relatively more talented in swordsmanship, he must have focused his main efforts on it.

……

Sword light and phantom shadows, layer upon layer of peaks, like mist and smoke, seemingly real yet illusory.

Thousands of sword lights rose up in his sea of ​​consciousness, piling up like blooming flowers.

In the blink of an eye, only a sharp sword light remained, crisscrossing back and forth, exuding an astonishing murderous aura.

Bai Zichen let out a soft whistle, and sword light shot out from his entire body, turning the entire quiet room into a sea of ​​sword light.

The next moment, all the items in the quiet room that had been pierced by the sword's edge remained intact in their original positions.

Only a willow-leaf sword floated quietly in front of him, fading into the shadows.

After six months, the Nine Illusion Sword Technique was finally mastered.

"I possess the true essence of the Taibai Sword Sect's swordsmanship. With this high-level understanding, there's no need to meticulously cultivate these sword techniques to the level of a master... Just extract their essence, integrate it into your own swordsmanship, and you can use it freely."

Bai Zichen put away the willow-leaf sword and discovered that there were two new pieces of information on his identity token.

I glanced at the letter and was about to reply, but decided to make the trip myself.

The Seeking Truth Boat was summoned, and a white rainbow streaked across the sky before disappearing without a trace.

After becoming a Core Formation True Person, his identity token was reforged, which required several precious third-tier spiritual materials.

Besides having the authority to freely enter and exit all the formations and restrictions of the Qingfeng Sect, the most important thing is that it has added the function of communication.

Using spiritual materials extracted from the same piece of the essence of the Fallen Mother, the tokens on the three Core Formation Ancestors can be exchanged.

Within a thousand miles, the text appears instantly.

Within a distance of 100,000 miles, it will slowly manifest within three days at the latest.

Unfortunately, the essence of the Fallen Mother was only a few pounds, which was only enough to barely modify the token of the Core Formation Ancestor, and could not be extended to the Elder level.

Bai Hong suddenly stopped halfway, turned around and caught up with a bright peacock. A clear sword light flew out, evolving into countless forms, directly encircling the second-tier mid-grade demon beast.

No matter how the peacock leaps and bounds within it, transforming its tail feathers into sharp arrows that are shot out, they all vanish into nothingness amidst the sea of ​​sword light.

Without using any other means, merely maintaining the illusion of the sword light, the five-colored peacock collapsed from exhaustion after half an hour, cooing twice and losing all will to fight back.

The sword flashed, capturing it alive and taking it into the fax boat, continuing towards the mountain gate.

"Master Bai, Master knows you're coming and is already waiting inside."

When the fax boat landed at the bottom of the valley, Bai Zichen saw Wei Chuming already waiting there respectfully, his posture upright, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

"This five-colored peacock is yours. You can keep it or kill it as you please."

Bai Zichen casually tossed the peacock demon beast, whose demonic power had been sealed, and strode towards a thatched hut in the valley.

As fellow Core Formation cultivators, when neither deliberately concealed their aura, they were like two dazzling suns, able to sense each other's presence from afar.

"Thank you, ancestor, for the gift of treasure!"

Wei Chuming bowed deeply in excitement, even getting the way he addressed people wrong in his excitement.

These five-colored peacocks are not commonly seen in the Black Mountain Range. They are capable of taking flight, although their flight speed is somewhat slow.

However, the tail feathers shot out with considerable power, equivalent to a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even with a Core Formation Ancestor as his master, a mid-grade second-tier demonic beast was still a significant gift for Wei Chuming.

"Junior Brother Bai is too polite to the younger generation."

Wei Dao sat cross-legged on a futon woven from coarse thatch, and drank a new tea with an aroma he had never smelled before.

"But it was something I picked up on the way and it just happened to come up in front of me... Senior Brother Wei's tea ceremony has returned to its original simplicity and can be called the Dao."

After taking the teacup and drinking it, Bai Zichen spoke sincerely.

"Why must Junior Brother make the trip in person? Can't we communicate via text message?"

Wei Dao was somewhat helpless. This Junior Brother Bai had only been in the Core Formation stage for a few years. Instead of thinking about how to consolidate his realm, improve his magical power, and refine magical treasures, he spent all his time running around.

"Senior Brother Ge needs ten years to refine the Acquired Thunder God Pearl and for it to take shape. This treasure can reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation by 30% and help with Nascent Soul Transformation. Of course, it should be prioritized over all other things... However, waiting like this all these years would be a waste of time. It would be better to include Green Ox Valley in our development goals and take it over."

Bai Zichen spoke his mind.

Wei Dao sent a message saying that Ge Cang Zhenren had sent him a letter, instructing him to go into seclusion for ten years to refine the Houtian Luo Lei Shen Zhu (a magical pearl).

This magical artifact also comes from the inheritance stone tablet and is the supreme treasure of the Naihe Sect for overcoming tribulations. Every cultivator who is able to reach the Core Formation stage should prepare one.

The wrath of Heaven is unpredictable; the types of tribulations each cultivator encounters when undergoing the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation are not static.

The power of a heavenly tribulation can vary by as much as two times.

Therefore, even a genius like Ge Cang Zhenren would need multiple safeguards when facing heavenly tribulations, making the Former Thunder God Pearl a necessary addition.

Wei Dao agreed to designate Tianlei Cliff as the target for development, but since True Person Ge Cang could not make a move within ten years, the development time was naturally postponed to ten years later.

However, such land reclamation is too inefficient, so Bai Zichen wants to visit in person to discuss the matter.

"Green Ox Valley? Two pioneering wars launched in ten years... Junior Brother Bai, aren't you being a bit too hasty?"

Wei Dao was startled, and the spiritual spring he had drawn overflowed from the teapot.

"No, Senior Brother Wei, think about it carefully... Ten years from now, at Thunder Cliff, as long as the three of us take action, Foundation Establishment cultivators can sweep away the second-tier Golden-Winged Thunder Rocs, which will put almost no pressure on the sect's logistics. What we are actually launching is only the pioneering war in Green Ox Valley."

Bai Zichen spoke firmly, stating his views.

"The demon king in Qingniu Valley is weak and poses no threat. As long as Gu Xisheng arranges the logistics, this battle will be much easier."
