Born with immortal seed

Chapter 264 The White Bone Cold Light Sword

The effects of the millennium-old ice jade on Bai Zichen are becoming less and less significant.

Since there's no intention to change the cultivation method, the only option is to upgrade the level of the spiritual object to avoid the constant suffering caused by fire poison.

As a low-grade fourth-tier spiritual item, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Jade belongs to the category of items that are at the bottom of the fourth-tier spiritual items.

The millennium-old ice jade also serves as a resource for cultivating ice-based techniques, while the ten-thousand-year-old ice jade, apart from being even colder, has not undergone any fundamental changes.

Take the spiritual item that the white-robed female cultivator took out, for example. The value of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade may not be much higher than that of the Ice Soul Cold Crystal Stone.

Bai Zichen glanced at the white-robed female cultivator. Since she could produce so many ice-type spiritual items, the probability of her possessing the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade was higher than that of others.

Unfortunately, the white-robed female cultivator remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to the commotion.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the arena paled with fear. They had just produced so many demonic artifacts, yet the young man was not a demonic cultivator. Considering the recent hot topics in the cultivation world, the identity of the young man before them was obvious.

"Oh it's you!"

The black-mist demon cultivator cast a meaningful glance at them, his gaze sweeping over the five demonic magical treasures, a hint of fervor flashing within it.

"I don't have the Eternal Ice Jade, but I do have a third-tier sword-forging secret manual. I doubt you'd want to miss it, would you?"

"If there were a third-tier sword-forging technique, that would be excellent..."

Bai Zichen didn't expect that before there was any news about the Ten Thousand Year Ice Jade, there would be clues about the third-order sword refining secret.

"The White Bone Cold Light Sword is forged from the blood and essence of ten thousand cultivators and refined from the bones of a million people... Do you think I would want such a secret sword-forging technique that goes against the natural order and goes against the natural order?"

He caught a sealed jade slip, only able to see the first few lines, which enraged him.

To forge a third-tier flying sword, one must take the lives of a million humans; even demonic cultivators are not all capable of such ruthlessness.

"Don't worry, keep reading, there are other alternatives."

Bai Zichen continued reading and discovered that there was another method of refining it: taking the spine of a fourth-tier great demon and then refining it with thirty-six restrictions in sequence.

There is almost no possibility of failure in sword forging; it can be successfully transformed into a third-tier flying sword.

In fact, the latter is the orthodox method of forging this kind of flying sword, and the sword light will have additional divine effects.

The method of obtaining the essence and blood of cultivators and human bones through demonic sword forging is an alternative method devised by later generations as a second-best option because obtaining the spine of a fourth-tier great demon is too difficult.

Not only do flying swords not produce any supernatural effects, but the success rate of sword forging is also extremely low.

"A fourth-tier transformed demon... Do you think I have the ability to deal with a demon equivalent to a Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

Bai Zichen put down the jade slip, his expression unfriendly.

The second method of sword forging is indeed not as immoral as the first, but the requirements are too extreme.

What is the concept of a fourth-tier transformed demon? Super sects in the Central Region that can summon five or six Nascent Soul True Monarchs at any time, and who are 100% capable of transforming into Divine Realm experts, will not resort to force when facing a fourth-tier demon if the demon is willing to retreat.

Only fourth-tier demons that harbor intense malice towards humans and are impossible to communicate with will carry out a meticulously planned encirclement and extermination operation.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs are already extremely difficult to kill, let alone Fourth-Order Great Demons whose physical bodies are incredibly strong.

Even when surrounded by several people and aided by formations, there have been instances where a berserk fourth-tier demon, before dying, dragged a Nascent Soul True Monarch down with it, both going to the Yellow Springs together.

"You didn't specify any requirements regarding the content of the sword-forging secrets, and besides, some ruins might even contain the remains of fourth-tier demons..."

The black-mist demonic cultivator wore a mask, so his expression was not visible, but one could tell from his tone that he was extremely smug.

"I'll take it, but this sword-forging secret is worth at most two mid-grade magic treasures."

"Okay, two pieces it is."

Bai Zichen drew out two magical treasures, took the jade slip containing the complete secrets of sword forging, and quickly scanned it to confirm its authenticity.

Even though the chances of forging this White Bone Cold Light Sword are very slim, he is still willing to accept it.

In any case, all he gave up were two magical treasures that were essentially useless to him. If he didn't have the secrets of sword forging when he finally had the chance to refine this flying sword in the future, he would regret it.

The Star River Sword Formation requires twelve flying swords. What does that number mean?

It would take the Tianhe Sword Sect the next thousand years to focus entirely on him, and only then would they be able to give him all the third-tier flying swords they successfully forged.

Therefore, they will not miss anything related to third-tier flying swords, whether it be secret sword-making techniques or flying sword materials.

"I'll trade you a piece of information for the remaining three magical treasures... Do you want to hear it?"

Bai Zichen suddenly looked up at the demonic cultivator in the black mist, his expression unchanged.

"What kind of information could be worth three top-grade magic treasures? A clue to a large spirit stone mine, or the secret technique for Nascent Soul Transformation?"

"Isn't a piece of news that concerns the very survival of Qingfeng Sect worth it?"

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

"I can tell you half of it first, and you can decide for yourself whether it's worth it... I believe that a world-renowned genius swordsman wouldn't renege on such a deal, would he?"

Bai Zichen pondered in his heart, without showing any unusual expression on his face.

They were even communicating with Master Ke, who took out a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice jade that was only an inch in size and was willing to trade it directly for spirit stones.

"Tell me, and I'll assess whether it's as serious as you say... but you must swear an oath of faith that the information is true."

"Alright, let's recite this with our divine senses... I guarantee the message is true. If you promise that the message is indeed related to the life and death of the Qingfeng Sect, you must unconditionally give me the magic weapon."

“Master Ke, this piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice jade is too small. I don’t even know if it will be of any use… I’ll just accept these three high-grade spirit stones and take them back for research.”

"Since it's Master Bai who spoke up, then there's nothing more to say. Let's just consider it making friends."

Master Ke revealed an ugly smile and reached a deal without much haggling.

The other cultivators all thought it was perfectly normal. Everyone knew that the person in front of them was a killing god with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so of course they had to take this opportunity to do him a favor.

'The Blood God Immortal did not die, but returned to the Blood Sea Sect in the Southern Region. He has now reconstructed his body... and with the help of the sect's blood pool, he has connected with the Blood Sea of ​​the Demon Realm, thus turning misfortune into blessing and opening the gate to the Nascent Soul stage!'

The black mist demon cultivator's telepathic message sent shockwaves through Bai Zichen's heart. He had long known that the Blood God True Person was backed by a Nascent Soul Grand Sect, but it was impossible for him to know this much.

The fact that this demonic cultivator knows so much about the current situation of the Blood God True Man after his disappearance means he must be a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Sect.

Zhong Ge, the eldest disciple of the Blood God, is also one of his two junior brothers and the left and right elders of the Blood Demon Sect.
'If this news is true, it is indeed very shocking... but I don't see how it relates to the survival of the Qingfeng Sect.'

"Foolish! Every Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Blood Sea Sect must slaughter several sects to condense their own Blood River upon birth... The stronger the cultivator, the more powerful the Blood River they condense. Do you think the Azure Maple Sect would be among the selected sects?"

Bai Zichen's heart sank. If what this demonic cultivator said was true, then the Qingfeng Sect was indeed extremely dangerous.

With the Nine Lotus True Monarch in charge, the Holy Lotus Sect is as stable as Mount Tai.

The one at the top of that list must be the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

The Qingfeng Sect was originally perceived as a remote and small sect, but due to the presence of True Person Ge Cang and Bai Zichen's recent prominence, it has become a force to be reckoned with.

If we count down five sects, there's a good chance it will be Qingfeng Sect's turn.

Compared to the top-ranked sects, the main difference lies in the number of Qi Refining disciples and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

'Why are you telling me all this? What good will it do you?'

Of course, Bai Zichen couldn't possibly believe everything the demonic cultivator in the black mist said.

Although the whole thing seems very real, there's no guarantee that what the other party said is mostly true and partially false, and that they've bypassed the oath of Dao heart.

'The interests of the Blood God True Man, the interests of the Blood Demon Sect... and my interests may not necessarily be aligned.'

Bai Zichen frowned and pushed the remaining three magical treasures toward the demonic cultivators in the black mist, ignoring the surprised looks on both sides.

Having received such earth-shattering news, the rest of the exchange was like chewing wax to him.

Nothing came of interest to him, and he watched indifferently as the Pill King meeting came to an end.

As the last Core Formation cultivator finished their exchange, the white-robed female cultivator stood up and, without even saying goodbye, transformed into a flash of cold light and vanished.

It seems I failed to obtain the Nine Yang True Fire; I am very disappointed.

"Master Bai, if you have time in the future, please come and visit Danxia Sect often."

Master Zhu spoke earnestly, placing his hand on the table.

"Yes, I will. I will bother Master Zhu again in the future."

Bai Zichen exchanged a few pleasantries and politely declined the invitations from the other Core Formation cultivators.

Regarding the matter of the Blood God Immortal, we must immediately return to discuss with Immortal Ge Cang how to deal with it.

"The main problem is that we don't know how long the Nascent Soul stage takes... Senior Brother Ge is not far from the Nascent Soul stage, so he should know more about it."

If the Blood God True Person were to achieve the Nascent Soul stage within just a few years, it would be extremely dangerous, as there would be no space for maneuvering or operating.

The strange attitude of the Holy Lotus Sect can be seen from the incident at Burial Valley.

If the Blood God True Man becomes a Nascent Soul True Monarch and returns to slaughter other sects, the possibility of the Holy Lotus Sect intervening to stop him is extremely low.

Furthermore, Bai Zichen had no intention of entrusting his life to others. If the Holy Lotus Sect had acted even a second slower, the Qingfeng Sect would have already been destroyed, so what use would it have been to stop them then?

Even if True Monarch Nine Lotus fought a fierce battle with True Man Blood God for this, it would be impossible to revive the dead cultivators of Qingfeng Sect.

"If it takes several decades, that would be fine. It's impossible to kill Liang Kingdom right after reaching the Nascent Soul stage without any adjustments... In that time, Senior Brother Ge might also embark on the path of the Nascent Soul stage. At the very least, the time for my Azure Emperor Longevity Sword to be hidden will be almost up."

Bai Zichen examined his own abilities and found that even with a fourth-tier flying sword, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great to threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The only weapon capable of inflicting fatal damage on a Nascent Soul True Monarch across realms is the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, which has been hidden for a hundred years, contains the power of time, and ignores all defenses.

Under this sword, as long as you cannot withstand the true meaning of time, you will be treated equally regardless of your realm.

One sword stroke cuts away two hundred years of lifespan!

"Although it's impossible to kill Blood God Master with one sword strike, it's enough to make him feel the threat of death. He doesn't know if I can strike a second time... With Senior Brother Ge's help, we should be able to force Blood God Master to leave!"
