Born with immortal seed

Chapter 254 The Supreme Pure Sword Box
Following the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword Embryo, the Yuexuan Sword also flew out, transforming into a ball of moonlight that swirled and danced around the sword box.

It didn't have the courage to fly in directly; it just hovered outside, eager to try.

It returned to Bai Zichen's side, wrapping around his wrist and turning it into various moon-colored sword ornaments.

"Go ahead, go ahead. We can't let them be unfair and let you watch your older brother enjoy himself inside..."

The Moonlit Sword conveyed the same emotion: a strong desire to enter the sword case, but also a reluctance to step forward.

Only after gaining the approval of its master did the moonlight, flowing like water, choose a wisp of pure energy beside the Purple Star Thunder Sword and enter it.

"It seems that the sword box wasn't just any flying sword that could enter when it was in the hands of that Upper Realm Sword Immortal... At least a fourth-tier flying sword like the Moon Whirl Sword didn't meet the entry standards, while the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword Embryo was a frequent visitor."

It's astonishing to think about, if a wisp of pure energy corresponds to a flying sword.

At his peak, that sword immortal from the upper realm must have possessed thirty-six fifth-tier flying swords, or even more.

Bai Zichen tentatively channeled another wisp of true essence into the vessel, and surprisingly, he refined it with ease, without any resistance whatsoever.

Several hours later, a cold message without any emotional fluctuation arrived.

The Supreme Pure Sword Box, a rare treasure of the Heavenly Palace, can hold up to thirty-six flying swords.

By gathering a wisp of pure spiritual energy from the very beginning of the world, and refining it within the sword box, the flying sword can slowly increase its power without needing to be refined.

The cost of flying swords in the box is reduced to 110%.

Furthermore, the sword light possesses the talent of seeing through fire, and when combined with the sword heart's clarity, nowhere can the sword light hide, and any invisibility or concealment spell will be ineffective.

Of course, the last point is related to the grade of the flying sword.

This means that even a Nascent Soul True Monarch under the Moonlit Sword could not hide their presence from him.

The secret realm was originally there to maintain the operation of the Supreme Pure Sword Box. After the spiritual energy environment in the secret realm collapsed, it began to draw power from the flying sword in reverse.

Those broken flying swords stuck in the ground were at least fourth-tier flying swords in ancient times.

Even the Purple Star Thunder Sword Embryo has continuously fallen in rank during the tens of thousands of years of extraction.

"A rare treasure from the heavens... What level of magic weapon is this? I've never even heard of it in the ancient texts..."

In the underground palace of the Transmission Hall, Bai Zichen learned that above the fourth-tier spiritual treasure was the fifth-tier Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Needless to say, its power is countless times greater than that of a fourth-tier spiritual treasure. More importantly, it possesses extraordinary spirituality and can already engage in simple conversations with its master.

Beyond that, they are no longer of this realm.

All we know is that the strongest treasures in the hands of those naturally gifted supernatural beings in ancient times were called the Heaven-Opening Treasures, which were all manifestations of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It could only have evolved from a spiritual being created during the creation of the world in that primitive era.

Once you reach the level of a Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure, it has nothing to do with weapon-refining skills, as it cannot be compensated for by later processing.

It depends solely on how many Great Dao Laws a spiritual object contains, and whether its carrier is a spiritual object born from the beginning of heaven and earth.

Even the ancient books brought from the other side of the outer sea by the founding patriarch of the Qingfeng Sect never mentioned the words "heavenly treasures".

Of course, none of that matters. The key point is that the consumption of the flying sword in the box has been reduced to 11%, which shocked him greatly.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for me to master the Star River Sword Formation even without the fundamental techniques of the Taibai Sword Sect!"

The True Explanation of the Sword Dao of the Taibai Sword Sect that Bai Zichen obtained that day also included the Star River Sword Formation, which required twelve flying swords to set up the sword formation and draw upon the sword intent of the vast starry sky.

Once the sword formation is generated, it will operate continuously and never stop.

It is an unparalleled weapon for killing enemies beyond one's level and fighting against multiple opponents. In the era when the Taibai Sword Sect held sway over the world, it was considered to be second only to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Sword Formation.

Moreover, the Star River Sword Formation was created not long ago and still has a great deal of room for improvement. The Taibai Sword Sect regards it as having the potential to grow into a peerless sword formation on the same level as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Sword Formation.

For non-Taibai Sword Sect disciples, the biggest obstacle to such a heaven-defying sword formation is that they simply cannot provide such a massive amount of magical power.

As for the others, gathering all twelve flying swords is not easy, and comprehending the Starry Sky Sword Intent is difficult, so they all become secondary.

Controlling flying swords requires an increase in mana consumption, with each additional flying sword multiplying the cost.

Therefore, combining two swords is already the limit that most sword cultivators can achieve.

Even a technique like the Heavenly River Great Art, which maximizes all its strengths to the limit of magical power, can only achieve its maximum potential by simultaneously activating four flying swords.

Under heaven, only the fundamental technique of the Taibai Sword Sect can refine one's natal flying sword without restriction, thus breaking free from this limitation.

This enabled the cultivators of the Taibai Sword Sect to develop several unprecedented sword formations.

They started with three or five flying swords, such as the Seven-Sword-in-One Qian Yuan Sword, or the Nine-Sword-in-One Nine-Turn Burning Heaven Sword... For a time, the Taibai Sword Sect cultivators played with the number of flying swords to a whole, each one more numerous than the last.

This trend lasted for thousands of years before it was gradually abandoned.

As people gradually realized, the art of flying swords was not about quantity; whoever controlled more flying swords was more powerful.

True sword masters, though ambitious, never stray from the right path, and the trend has returned to normal.

The Star River Sword Formation stood out from this trend and became a truly powerful sword formation that has been passed down through generations.

It was precisely because of these limitations that Bai Zichen was not very excited after obtaining the Star River Sword Formation, and instead tried his best to work towards the direction of the sword formation.

Because he knew very well that if he did not obtain the fundamental techniques of the Taibai Sword Sect, even if he comprehended the Starry Sky Sword Intent, he would not be able to set up the Star River Sword Formation.

But the appearance of the Supreme Pure Sword Box gave him hope.

"The flying swords in the sword box only require one percent of my true essence to activate... Even under these circumstances, I can only control nine swords at the same time."

With a little calculation, Bai Zichen could imagine the terrifying amount of true essence required to multiply and stack the number of flying swords.

"Even with my natal flying sword, I'm still short two... Should I switch to a cultivation technique similar to the Heavenly River Great Art, or just spend more time refining two more natal flying swords?"

Although he was still one step short, he was already quite satisfied.

He was still a long way from having collected twelve third-tier flying swords, had never comprehended the Starry Sky Sword Intent, and had not even studied the Star River Sword Formation twice.

Who knows when we'll gather all twelve suitable flying swords? Maybe we'll find a solution by then.

At the very least, he was just one step away from successfully setting up the formation.

Unlike before, it was completely like a flower in the water or the moon in the mirror; no matter how powerful the Star River Sword Formation was, it had nothing to do with him.

"Duh!"

Bai Zichen tried to summon the Moon Swirl Sword and indeed found that he felt no strain in controlling a fourth-tier flying sword.

The moonlight sword light flickered, sometimes long, sometimes short, unpredictable and ever-changing, creating a poignant and serene atmosphere.

"Not bad. Although it's still far from forming a starry river sword formation, controlling a flying sword is still too easy for the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box... This has turned my strength of only three or five strikes with the Moon Spin Sword into the regular use of a flying sword."

He was almost impatient to find someone to test his sword skills on.

Let's see how much power the fourth-tier flying sword, now unrestrained and free from its constraints, can unleash in my hands.

The moonlight receded, dancing incessantly on Bai Zichen's fingertips, equally vibrant.

One can sense that the Moonlit Sword, now housed in its scabbard, has achieved the ultimate satisfaction.

If the previous Moon Spin Sword was because the Purple Star Thunder Sword Embryo treated him differently and obeyed his commands, then...

From this moment on, you will be completely convinced and obedient.

When the Moonlit Sword flew back to the Supreme Pure Sword Box, Bai Zichen snapped his fingers and closed the box, retracting it into his body.

The sword box, located in the dantian, lay quietly, surrounded by thirty-six clusters of pure energy.

At this moment, two wisps of pure energy contained flying swords, which sank slightly by an inch.

"It's strange, the Supreme Pure Subtle Sword Box, as a treasure at least on the same level as the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword Embryo, gives people the feeling that it has lost its spirit and is just an inanimate object..."

Bai Zichen only thought about it briefly before giving up the idea of ​​finding out more.

Such a treasure as the Heavenly Treasures, whose very name he had never even heard of, was far beyond the reach of a mere Core Formation cultivator like him.

If you actually delve into it, you'll only be asking for trouble.

Several months later, when Bai Zichen finished circulating the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture for one cycle and stopped, he saw that there were two more messages on the sect token.

He glanced at the time, got up, straightened his Taoist robe, and summoned the Seeking Truth Boat, heading straight towards Green Ox Valley.

Given the speed at which the true boat flies, he could arrive in just over an hour.

Several monsters were startled along the way and chased after it, roaring wildly, but it was quickly left behind and disappeared without a trace.

Outside Qingniu Valley, banners were waving and smoke was billowing.

Under the cover of the floating warships, the battle formations moved steadily forward, with dozens of tall and mighty Yellow Turban warriors leading the way, clearing the way through the mountains.

At the entrance to Green Ox Valley, a large army of human cultivators engaged in a fierce and bloody battle with a group of demon beasts.

Both sides were littered with fallen bodies, piling up thick layers that quickly made the canyon entrance even narrower.

"If this continues, the casualties will be too heavy, and the sect will definitely not be able to handle it. We'll see what methods Gu Xisheng has planned beforehand."

Bai Zichen landed the Seeking Truth Boat on a nearby mountain and had already communicated with Wei Dao through divine sense.

If it were him and Wei Dao who were to take action, they could indeed wipe out these massive numbers of second-tier bovine monsters very quickly.

But neither of them would do that.

Core Formation Realm cultivators are not the caretakers of sect cultivators. If they were to handle everything, what would be the use of the pioneering army?

Moreover, given that they are deep in the Black Mountain and it is certain that a third-tier demon king resides in the valley, they must conserve their strength and will not easily make a move until they see the main culprit.

Who knows if something unexpected might happen? In fact, there are two demon kings in Qingniu Valley, who will launch a thunderous attack when the Core Formation Real Person appears to eliminate the second-tier demon beasts and exposes a weakness.

This is certainly an extreme example, but it is certain that a Core Formation cultivator would never put themselves in danger because of it.

"Senior Brother Luo, please lend a hand."

Gu Xisheng handed a talisman to Luo Qiuzhen, who was standing to the side. It had an ancient Vajra Bracelet drawn on it.

As the leader of the Qingfeng Sect, he was entitled to choose a treasure left behind by his predecessors in the secret hall.

In special circumstances such as pioneering wars, one can borrow additional magical treasures as needed by virtue of one's status as sect leader.

The talisman in his hand was a special talisman he had chosen for the final battle. However, this talisman was somewhat special, as it was a genuine talisman separated from a top-grade magic weapon.

It refers to a talisman that possesses 40% of the power of a magic weapon and can only be separated and formed once at most.

With his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he couldn't achieve perfection and could only entrust the task to Luo Qiuzhen, who was in the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

Luo Qiuzhen's Taoist robe billowed without wind, and the mysterious talismans he had drawn on floated up. He had spent his whole life dealing with talismans and was equally familiar with talisman treasures.

The talisman ignited instantly, and a giant Vajra Bracelet appeared above Luo Qiuzhen's head, rapidly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
