Born with immortal seed

Chapter 256 Sword Slaying Demons
Once you make a move, it's a strike without holding back.

Who knows what level of cultivation or what methods the sneaky little man hiding behind the ripples possesses?

The Moon Spinning Sword possesses a forbidden technique called Moonlight Burst. When activated simultaneously, the sky above Green Ox Valley resembled a bright moon falling to earth, with moonlight stretching for miles and bursting forth with a faint glow.

It sends chills down your spine at first glance, let alone getting close to it.

This fourth-tier flying sword usually absorbs the power of the Taiyin star. Every 365 days, when the star power is fully condensed, it can trigger a Moonlight Explosion that freezes the soul, making it impossible to defend against.

The Moonlit Sword has not had a master for tens of thousands of years. Even though it is in the Sword Tomb Secret Realm and can hardly receive the power of the Taiyin Star, there are always traces of it seeping in.

The power of the Taiyin Star within the sword had long been overflowing, and now that it was activated, the power of the forbidden technique was even greater than usual.

The faint ripples were broken by the moonlight, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in a black and white robe. His face was as white as paper, and he held a mourning stick in his hand, his face full of shock and disbelief.

With the rare treasure obtained from a secret realm, it can isolate all magical power fluctuations and divine sense detection. At this distance, even a Core Formation Perfection cultivator would not be able to detect it.

Back then, thanks to this extraordinary treasure, he managed to get within a hundred feet of Ge Cang Zhenren before being discovered.

They were simply outmatched in strength and couldn't win the group attack.

"So it's Taoist He... Now that you're here, there's no need to leave!"

The man behind the ripples revealed that he was at the mid-stage of Core Formation. Bai Zichen might not have recognized any other Core Formation cultivator, but he remembered the Ghost Spirit Sect members very clearly.

Unexpectedly, He Daoren, whose strength in the Ghost Spirit Sect was second only to the White Bone True Man, actually infiltrated Black Mountain using a hidden treasure, and even followed the pioneering war team all the way.

Fortunately, Bai Zichen remained highly vigilant until the very last moment and did not reveal any flaws.

Otherwise, if he hadn't been able to detect the anomaly through his sword-heart-clearing ability, he might have actually been given an opportunity by He Daoren to severely injure himself or Wei Dao.

The Moonlight Burst was a fourth-tier flying sword with a forbidden technique, and He Daoren had no idea that anyone could discover him, so he hadn't taken any precautions.

When the power of the Taiyin star washed over her body, there was no time to resist. Only a string of bone chains on her wrists exploded on its own, dissipating part of the damage.

At the same time, black and white demonic light burst forth from his robe, forming a reversed yin-yang pattern, which then blocked the moonlight.

However, the remaining nearly half of the Taiyin Star Power still rushed straight into He Daoren's body, leaving him frozen in place, his eyes glazed over.

The duration of the frozen soul is very short, probably less than a breath.

The next instant, a demonic sound rang out from the mourning stick in He Daoren's hand, and white shrouds wrapped around corpses flew out, covering the sky and the earth.

But for a sword cultivator like Bai Zichen, a single breath is still too long.

Moreover, it was a sword strike that he had been preparing for a long time, gathering all his energy and spirit, which followed the burst of moonlight without the slightest pause.

The Moonlit Sword Light didn't appear to possess earth-shattering power, but it was like an inverted Milky Way, an all-pervasive sword strike, its speed many times faster than any flying sword he had ever used before.

The seemingly gentle moonlight sliced ​​the mourning staff in two, and to He Daoren's horrified gaze, it sent his head flying into the sky.

The headless corpse fell to the ground along with two pieces of mourning sticks, and then fell silent.

"Junior Brother Bai, what's going on?"

Wei Dao flew over, his expression grim. He had just successfully slain the demon and hadn't even realized what had happened when his junior brother Bai swung a terrifying sword, killing a Core Formation cultivator who looked somewhat familiar.

"Master He, how did he end up here, and how did you manage to kill him, Junior Brother!"

The black and white robes and the mourning staff were so distinctive that Wei Dao recognized the person at a glance.

This was a demonic cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation, who had been famous for many years, yet he was instantly killed by Junior Brother Bai with a single sword strike.
Wei Dao felt his common sense had been severely challenged. When did his junior brother Bai, who had only been in the Core Formation stage for a few years, acquire such strength?

"This person had been lying in wait, hoping to launch a sneak attack, but I spotted him..."

Bai Zichen remained vigilant, and the moonlight rapidly spread, appearing one by one in the sword's heart.

Possession and resurrection are the privileges of Nascent Soul cultivators. Only when the Nascent Soul enters the body can one withstand the impact of collision and fusion with a non-original soul and retain normal memories.

Those below the Nascent Soul stage have virtually no chance of successfully seizing another's body.

Even if the two souls merge into one, the sea of ​​consciousness is chaotic and the dominant position cannot be guaranteed. The person becomes an idiot who acts incoherently and cannot be considered to have successfully possessed another body.

However, demonic cultivators are often cunning, especially when it comes to dealing with soul cultivators and ghost cultivators. Bai Zichen was afraid that Daoist He might still be alive and had other tricks up his sleeve.

We finally managed to kill a Core Formation cultivator from the Ghost Spirit Sect. It would be such a waste if we let him escape back into the mountains.

Where the moonlight shines, everything is as clear as fire.

Bai Zichen quickly noticed a blurry black shadow moving rapidly close to the ground, almost at the speed of the Seeking Truth Ship.

"They actually have the ability to temporarily maintain their movements after their soul leaves their body, even without a physical body..."

As soon as the Moonlit Sword met, the moonlight caught up instantly, and a giant hand of true essence seized the shadow, attempting to capture it and use the Taiwu Soul-Searching and Soul-Slaying Technique to interrogate it, hoping to find out some secret information about the Ghost Spirit Sect.

But the shadowy figure was extremely agile, dodging several attempts by the giant hand of true energy and even creating some distance between them.

This made Bai Zichen harden his heart and stop thinking about capturing him alive, so as to avoid any further complications.

The moonlight swept across the area, enveloping the shadowy figure from all sides.

Even a Core Formation cultivator's soul is still incredibly fragile. Upon contact with the sword light of a fourth-tier flying sword, it melts away like the first snow under the blazing sun, letting out a sharp scream.

A dignified mid-stage Core Formation cultivator died in such a humiliating way.

Bai Zichen searched again to confirm that He Daoren was definitely dead before returning to Qingniu Valley.

“Senior Brother Wei, this person has been killed by me, his soul and spirit have been destroyed... In the future, when we destroy the Ghost Spirit Sect, we will have one less opponent.”

Bai Zichen flung out a ball of fire, burning He Daoren's corpse to ashes, leaving only his broken mourning staff and two pitch-black storage bags behind.

"Good, good, good, Junior Brother Bai has truly made a great contribution to the sect... This sect injured many of my Qingfeng Sect disciples in the last sect war, and he was one of the people who besieged Elder Yang."

Wei Dao was shocked, and said through gritted teeth.

"In this way, the Ghost Spirit Sect will only have three Core Formation cultivators left... As long as Senior Brother Ge makes another breakthrough, the great enemy that has plagued the sect for hundreds of years may truly be completely eliminated in our hands, leaving a peaceful environment for the younger generation of disciples!"

Hearing Bai Zichen casually say that he would destroy the Ghost Spirit Sect and demolish its entire family, Wei Dao was first stunned, then realized that it might not be impossible.

Judging from the strength that Junior Brother Bai has shown, he is indeed a peerless sword genius who has won the favor of a fourth-tier flying sword and has taken the initiative to join him. He is probably no weaker than Master Bai Gu.

Given time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to take down the remaining three Core Formation cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect with just one sword, so he naturally has the confidence to say such a thing.

Wei Dao believes his strength surpasses that of Peach Blossom Fairy, the weakest Core Formation cultivator in the Ghost Spirit Sect, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Back then, Master Ge Cang was able to defeat four opponents single-handedly. Now, with his cultivation advancing further, he doesn't even need to reach the Nascent Soul stage; he only needs to reach the Perfected Core Formation stage.

The three of them stormed the Ghost Spirit Sect's mountain gate, but the mere Ten Thousand Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation might not be enough to stop them.

Of course, implementing it in practice is definitely not that simple.

Will the Ghost Spirit Sect receive reinforcements? Does the sect possess any hidden treasures? Will someone take advantage of the Qingfeng Sect's vulnerable rear to launch a sneak attack?

These are all things that need to be taken into account; destroying a sect is not something to be taken lightly.

Although the Ghost Spirit Sect has never produced a top-tier expert, it has produced Core Formation True Persons in every generation without interruption.

In this generation, there are even five Core Formation cultivators living together.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Blood God True Man, the Ghost Spirit Sect would undoubtedly have been the leader of the demonic path in Liang Kingdom.

Of course, without top-tier combat power, the Demon Alliance would certainly struggle to cope with the Righteous Alliance's offensive; they would be lucky to even hold onto their existing territory.

In the demonic path, there is the Blood God True Man, and in the neighboring Qingfeng Sect, which borders a county, there has emerged Ge Cang, the God of Slaughter.

Their cultivation speed was so fast that it far exceeded the Ghost Spirit Sect's expectations, making them an existence that the sect simply could not handle.

The Blood God True Man, whom they had relied on, had also disappeared.

Now that Bai Zichen has joined the fray, the Ghost Spirit Sect's future will only become more and more difficult.

In Qingniu Valley, the disciples of Qingfeng Sect and the cultivators of Heishan Mountain erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers upon learning that True Person Bai had slain Daoist He of Guiling Sect with his sword.

With the Kui Niu Demon King defeated and the remaining demon beasts also slaughtered, and with the Qing Niu Valley being completely occupied by the pioneering army, the ownership of another third-tier spiritual vein was transferred from the demon beasts to the Qingfeng Sect.

This land reclamation campaign, which lasted four years, has come to an end.

……

In a dark underground palace, tens of thousands of candles flickered, and in the very center was a giant coffin.

Four ghost-faced flowers bloomed in front of the coffin, one of which withered and decayed instantly, rotting away at its roots.

"Junior Brother He!"

The White Bone Immortal exclaimed in surprise, and two balls of yin fire flickered rapidly in the empty eye sockets on his face.

Five skeletal fingers grasped a few fragments of the withered ghost-faced underworld flower, and in the end, all they held in their hands was a handful of cold underworld soil.

"How could Senior Brother He have perished... He possessed the Bewitching Veil and was extremely cautious. Unless he managed to get close to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, who could possibly discover him?"

The old woman and the peach blossom fairy had also arrived in the underground palace at some point, having sensed the withering of the ghost-faced underworld flowers and rushed over immediately.

"Could it be that we ran into Ge Cang?"

The old woman's voice trembled; she had developed a deep psychological trauma from Ge Cang Zhenren.

“Impossible. Before he set off, Junior Brother He told me that he had a source of information that Ge Cang was in seclusion and would not leave easily, so he went to Black Mountain to investigate the situation... If he really encountered Ge Cang, given his personality, he would have stayed far away long ago, and would not have gotten close to him.”

The former White Bone Immortal only had his limbs transformed into bones; his body remained that of a normal person.

Now he's practically a skeleton, just wearing a robe over his body.

"Have your disciples do everything in their power to find out how Junior Brother He died!"

"I will give the order right away, and tell them to spare no expense."

Peach Blossom Fairy nodded and said that in recent years, White Bone Immortal had been in seclusion seeking a breakthrough, and Granny Ghost was still recuperating from her injuries. As the least senior Core Formation Immortal, she was in charge of most of the affairs in the sect.
