Born with immortal seed

Chapter 255 The Moonblade Has Never Been Tested

The Vajra Bracelet slowly flew out and smashed down on the top of the one-horned Kui Bull, splitting its head open with a mixture of red and white.

It looks light and airy, but it is actually incredibly powerful and heavy. No single-horned Kui bull can withstand a single blow from it.

Nearly twenty unicorns fell one after another, and the Vajra Bracelet gradually dimmed, turning into specks of gold that dissipated in the air.

Luo Qiuzhen's face was deathly pale, and the talismans on his Taoist robe seemed to have exhausted their spiritual energy. He curled up into a ball.

Su Li quickly stepped forward, supported her master, fed him a pill, and then used her magic to dissolve the medicinal effects.

"Well done, Senior Brother Luo!"

Gu Xisheng, full of vigor, pointed his jade flute and the battle formation moved forward.

"Gentlemen, let's take Qingniu Valley and end this pioneering war today!"

The last pioneering war allowed Gu Xisheng, an elder in charge of general affairs, to prove his ability in logistics allocation and general affairs arrangement, gaining the recognition of the sect's higher-ups and rising to the position of acting sect leader.

After decades of hard work, never daring to slack off for a single day or neglect a single matter, I have finally managed to shed the title of "agent."

He was already very skilled at this pioneering war, and his arrangements were well-organized. He also took the opportunity to reorganize the five palaces and eight halls.

He placed many of his own people into the ranks, so they were no longer puppets, but truly capable of issuing orders and possessing the authority of a sect leader.

Of course, he was still very careful in his actions.

Regardless of Ge Cang Zhenren, he only had one disciple, Qi Yue, and no descendants or relatives.

Gu Xisheng avoided any contact with the other two Core Formation Ancestors, instead praising them all highly.

After rushing through the narrow valley entrance, the true landscape of Qingniu Valley was revealed to everyone. More than half of it was fertile land covered with black mud and overgrown with wild grass that was half a person tall.

The valley was lined with yellowish-brown crystals that emitted a pungent smell, and every now and then, a few pieces would fall down.

The second-tier ore, sulfurous smoke crystal, is the favorite food of the unicorn ox. Other than that, its uses are unknown, and it doesn't seem to be very effective for refining weapons.

"So many spiritual fields that can be cultivated!"

Gu Xisheng's eyes lit up immediately. Judging from this, there were at least several thousand acres of second-tier spirit fields in Qingniu Valley that could be cultivated.

Even without any other gains, the influx of so many spirit fields was a great joy for him, who now controlled the Spirit Field Hall.

"Moo!"

A muffled, thunderous mooing sound came from a cave as a massive blue ox emerged. Its hooves pounded the ground, causing it to shake violently, and even disrupting the formations of some battle formations.

Its single horn flashed with an eerie yellow light, and anything within ten feet of it was flattened and the ground sank, as if an invisible gravity was exerting itself upon it.

The remaining unicorn-like beasts were emboldened, their bodies glowing red, and they recklessly charged into the battle formation.

Two beams of light flashed, and Bai Zichen and Wei Dao appeared in the air almost simultaneously.

"Junior Brother Bai, why don't you stay behind and I'll deal with this stupid bull first?"

Wei Dao held a precious pearl in his hands and spoke.

"Alright, Senior Brother Wei, be careful. That green ox should have the supernatural ability to change gravity and manipulate the earth's power."

Bai Zichen gave an instruction and retreated several dozen feet.

It seems that the time to test the Moon Spin Sword's edge after acquiring the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box will have to be postponed again.

The Kui Niu Demon King was only a low-grade third-order demon beast. It might have the upper hand against an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, but the two people in the arena at this moment...

Leaving Bai Zichen aside, Wei Dao is a cultivator with a wind-type unique spiritual root who has achieved perfect core formation in alchemy. Even in the Holy Lotus Sect, there are not many such figures, and he will be cultivated as a key candidate for the next generation's successor.

Although he didn't possess any top-tier treasures, his two mid-grade magic weapons would have taken a rogue cultivator decades to refine without special opportunities.

Dealing with the Kui Niu Demon King, who is arguably the weakest of the third-tier demonic beasts, is not difficult.

Wei Dao threw out the precious pearl in his hand, and a howling wind gathered, with countless wind blades surrounding the Kui Niu Demon King and slicing towards it.

The Kui Niu Demon King mooed, and the wind blades slowed down as they approached the demon's body, all falling to the ground with a whoosh.

The bull's mouth opened, and a golden object flew out, rushing like lightning, piercing through layers of wind blades and striking towards Weidao.

It was a piece of bezoar that the Kui Niu Demon King had refined within his body. It carried the power of the earth and was indestructible, breaking through several protective protective lights in succession.

Wei Dao remained calm and composed, holding a flower basket in his hand, and softly uttered a word of "Stay still".

The wind and air in this space stopped, and even the unstoppable bezoar paused, as it was directly covered by the flower basket.

"I thought your stupid ox only had that one horn that was useful, but I didn't expect it to produce bezoar. I've gained a treasure for nothing."

Wei Dao unleashed several bursts of true essence upon the pearl, more than doubling the density of the wind blades. The rock walls surrounding the Kui Niu Demon King crumbled like tofu when these wind blades grazed them, not to mention the center of the attack.

The yellow light above the Kui Niu Demon King's head flickered continuously, weakening by several points, and it was no longer as impregnable as before.

Bezoar is an extremely rare third-tier spiritual substance and is an essential material for refining many third-tier spiritual pills. Even if the alchemists in the Qingfeng Sect cannot use it, such a large piece can be exchanged with the alchemy grandmasters of the Danxia Sect for several bottles of third-tier pills.

"As expected, it was completely unchallenging, the weakest third-tier demonic beast..."

Bai Zichen glanced at it twice and lost interest, knowing that this demonic beast could no longer cause any trouble.

Just in case, Wei Dao retrieved the Earthly Divine Sand from the purple gourd and carried it with him, preparing to unleash one or two grains at a critical moment.

With this extraordinary treasure, even if the Kui Niu Demon King wanted to self-destruct his demon core and fight to the death, it wouldn't have the chance.

However, Wei Dao did not possess any powerful magic weapons, so he used every grain of Wutu Divine Sand sparingly.

Third-tier demonic beasts have thick hides and strong vitality, so it's normal for them to wear you down for several more hours.

The moonlight sword beam shot into the sky, casting a soft moonlight over the entire Green Ox Valley.

It sounds easy, but you can't be careless or complacent as the end approaches.

Deep within the Black Mountain, there are quite a few third-tier demonic beasts. These human cultivators have no idea which demonic beasts are on good terms with each other or whether they will lend a helping hand.

It was because of his presence that Wei Dao was able to unleash all his abilities without reservation, without worrying about being ambushed by unknown third-tier demonic beasts.

With his keen insight and clear understanding of the sword, coupled with the fourth-tier Moon Spin Sword, Bai Zichen had no secrets within a radius of dozens of miles.

This is a completely different feeling from exploring with divine sense; it is more subtle and deeper.

The only drawback is that it's too conspicuous, unlike the more subtle and difficult-to-detect methods of divine sense.

The effect is even more pronounced when it is applied to living beings.

Several pangolins were frantically digging and fleeing underground, while a flock of white crows flapped their wings and flew far away from Green Ox Valley. They even sensed the aura of another third-tier demon beast at the edge of the moonlight.

It was a standing white ape, its entire body pure white without a single speck of blemish, and its demonic aura far surpassed that of the Kui Niu Demon King.

It is even superior to the dragon in Jade Moon Lake back then.

As if sensing the moonlight's gaze, the white ape bared its teeth and disappeared in a few moments.

"A peak-stage third-tier demonic beast..."

Bai Zichen's heart tightened; he hadn't expected that dealing with Qingniu Valley would provoke such a powerful demonic beast.

Fortunately, the white ape seemed to be merely observing the battle and had no intention of helping the Kui Niu Demon King.

Otherwise, the outcome of today's battle would have been quite uncertain.

Based on my self-assessment, I am somewhat confident that I can deal with a third-tier high-grade demonic beast with the power of the Moon Spin Sword, after all, I have witnessed the might of a few dragons.

However, a peak-level third-tier demon beast is a completely different concept. Just like a cultivator who has reached the completion of the Core Formation stage, they are already considering the path of human transformation.

Once they survive the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation and become fourth-tier demonic beasts, the Qingfeng Sect will face another formidable opponent in the Black Mountain Range.

"After we get back, we need to intensify our intelligence gathering on the white ape. This is not like the sleeping Azure Phoenix; it is a powerful demon that can move around normally... Although demon beasts have long lifespans and their advancement often takes hundreds of years, if the white ape advances before Senior Brother Ge, the sect is very likely to face annihilation!"

The fourth-tier transformed demon has greatly increased its intelligence and is now no different from an adult human, a world apart from a third-tier demon beast.

It is wishful thinking to expect a transformed demon to live in peace with human cultivators. When it comes to living space, it is a matter of life and death between the two.

The super sects in the Central Region that control all the spiritual veins within their borders have all gone through bloody wars, with countless disciples sacrificing themselves to seize spiritual veins from the hands of demonic beasts.

Those transformed demons either relinquished their spiritual veins and migrated elsewhere, or they were brutally killed on the spot by several Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Bai Zichen wasn't sure if the Yin-Yang Illusion Moon Formation at the mountain gate could withstand the attack of the transformed demon.

At least Feiyue Lake and Qingniu Valley are out of the question.

Furthermore, it is impossible to hold any of the resource points in the Black Mountain.

Only after confirming that the white ape had not returned did Bai Zichen turn his attention back, only to discover a very faint ripple somewhere above Green Ox Valley.

"There are no fluctuations of magical power, and I can't sense anything with my divine sense... But it's too abrupt to observe it from the perspective of perfect insight within the sword heart. There must be something wrong!"

Bai Zichen remained calm and composed. If it weren't for his dual talents of Sword Heart Clarity and Insightful Observation, he wouldn't have noticed the slight anomaly several miles away.

"Could it be a Nascent Soul True Monarch? It's unlikely. He's hiding his true strength, so his power must be limited to the Core Formation stage. He must have used some extraordinary technique or a special magic weapon to achieve this."

Concealing his whereabouts and spying from the sidelines during the most critical moment of the Qingfeng Sect's pioneering war, it doesn't seem like he has any good intentions.

The trail has been discovered, and even if this person wanted to sabotage the operation, it would be impossible for them to do so.

Moonlight bathed the entire area, and Bai Zichen's right hand was already gripping the Moon Whirlwind Sword.

With his eyes slightly closed, he faced the Kui Niu Demon King, showing no sign of anything amiss.

In reality, the sword's heart is like a mirror, reflecting all the scenes into its surface with the high-hanging moonlight.

Even with deliberate observation, those faint ripples are easily overlooked, and several times one might have thought that the person in the shadows had already escaped.

Just as excited cheers echoed from the valley, the Kui Niu Demon King collapsed with a thud, his head smashed to pieces by a grain of Wutu Divine Sand, and a giant wind blade slashed off his horns.

Wei Dao took out a banner and waved it in the wind, capturing a miniature blue ox on the banner, which then rampaged wildly.

This is the moment!

Bai Zichen swung his sword down, and the immense power of the Taiyin Star exploded, making the entire space seem to freeze.
