Born with immortal seed

Chapter 271 Starting from Zero: Territory
"Senior Brother Ge doesn't seem to be using any magic weapons. Does he think the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King isn't worth his time, or is there another reason...?"

This task of providing peripheral support was far too easy for Bai Zichen.

Wei Dao needs to be fully focused to avoid accidentally activating his lightning escape technique and being broken out of the encirclement by the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King.

But when Bai Zichen summoned the Moonlit Sword, bathed in moonlight, he could complete the task by himself.

He even had the skill to appreciate Ge Cang Zhenren's fighting style and discovered something very interesting.

The Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder Net was activated. True Man Ge Cang's control over the divine thunder had reached a state of perfection. He only formed a sea of ​​thunder within a hundred-zhang radius, without leaking out a single bit of power.

Faced with the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's counterattack, he used every part of his body—hands, feet, shoulders, legs—as weapons, and with a single block or push, he could send the third-tier demon beast flying.

"No, even in the arena battle in Burial Immortal Valley last time, Senior Brother Ge didn't use any magic weapons; he relied entirely on his physical body to fight..."

If the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, a third-tier superior-grade demon king, is no longer taken seriously by True Person Ge Cang.

Last time, he faced a powerful expert from the Northern Yuan Realm who was at the peak of the Core Formation stage, whose cultivation surpassed his own. He couldn't possibly hold back this time.

It can only be said that this is Ge Cang Zhenren's fighting style. With divine lightning combined with a powerful physical body, he is enough to dominate the world.

Of course, the bigger reason is that he didn't have a magic weapon worthy of him.

Even Bai Zichen now only considers top-grade magic treasures to be of the highest quality; anything lower grade is considered a waste of refining time and wouldn't be of much use in battle.

The strength of Master Ge Cang is even more so.

Ordinary magic weapons are not as powerful as the physical body brought by the fourth level of the Five Crystal Glazed Body, whose physique is comparable to a high-grade defensive magic weapon.

Ordinary offensive magic weapons can be compared to a divine lightning bolt or a punch thrown out.

With his discerning eye, he would definitely refine a top-grade magic weapon with the potential to be upgraded to a spiritual treasure.

However, it seems that Ge Cang Zhenren's luck with magical treasures is far inferior to Bai Zichen's; so far, he has not found a single treasure that can significantly enhance his combat power.

"This damn bird is really tenacious. It's been beaten into a rag doll but it's still alive. It might be related to some immunity to lightning magic... Its lightning escape was restricted by Senior Brother Ge, and the terrifying destructive power of the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Lightning Net was also weakened by several times when used on it."

Almost half an hour had passed, and although the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King's injuries were getting worse, he was still full of energy.

Bai Zichen, who had already regarded Thunder Cliff as his own territory, became increasingly annoyed with this hairy beast.

The next time the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc suddenly spat out a ball of lightning, it forcefully carved a path through the net of divine lightning, attempting to escape from Thunder Cliff using lightning escape techniques.

The sword light pierced the sun, the sky hummed, and the white clouds in the sky closed up again after a long time. The Moon Spin Sword slashed out heavily.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King let out a miserable cry as one of its wings drooped down, almost severed at the waist, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

It then realized that the cultivator standing guard to the side was just as terrifying as the cultivator who controlled the thunder magic.

Master Ge Cang let out a soft whistle, and the sea of ​​thunder condensed into a thunder spear.

A flash of silver light pierced through the body of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, causing this arrogant flying beast to lower its proud head and plummet to the top of the cliff.

The annihilation of the third-tier superior Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, even if the remaining Golden-Winged Thunder Rocs escaped, would only cause temporary chaos and would not affect the overall situation.

"This feather is formed from the essence of its lightning power; it's what enables it to use lightning escape techniques..."

This Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King had a special feather on its tail, which seemed to be formed from lightning, and it continued to flash with lightning even after its death.

"I'm somewhat interested in that lightning technique. I'll take advantage of this and take the true feather. You can divide the rest of the materials among yourselves."

Ge Cang Zhenren was undoubtedly the main force in slaying the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, and he had the dominant power in the distribution of demon beast materials.

Taking only one genuine feather is clearly not the proper share.

However, he clearly no longer found these third-tier high-grade demon beast materials appealing.

At this stage, apart from fourth-tier spiritual items and treasures that help with Nascent Soul transformation, nothing else can impress True Person Ge Cang.

"Junior Brother Bai, you go first."

Knowing that his contribution was not as great as Bai Zichen's, Wei Dao was naturally embarrassed to make the first move.

These third-tier demon beast materials can be used by the sect members themselves or placed in the secret vault, and then the sect will distribute a large amount of contribution points to the account of the Core Formation Ancestor.

Like the Kui Niu Demon King's inner core from last time, Wei Dao ultimately gave it to the sect, allowing Han Qing to refine it into a batch of Demon Beast Inner Core Foundation Building Pills.

As per usual practice, the sect transferred 50,000 sect contribution points to him.

Therefore, once you become a Core Formation Ancestor, you will never lack sect contribution points over time; they will only accumulate more and more.

Because the sects are able to provide less and less of what a Core Formation cultivator needs.

Over time, this resulted in a situation where there was only income and no expenditure.

"I'll trouble Senior Brother Wei to handle this. Just have someone allocate the contribution points to my account... Oh, by the way, keep the flesh and blood. My spirit beast is currently advancing and may still need the flesh and blood of a third-tier demon beast."

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, a third-tier superior-grade creature, contains its essence, flesh, feathers, bones, and most valuable of all, its demon beast inner core.

Each one is worth a considerable amount of spirit stones.

However, Bai Zichen had no time to deal with these matters, and he didn't care about the comings and goings of some monster materials.

"Alright, I'm the one who benefits today."

Wei Dao smiled as he carefully collected the corpse of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc and said...

"Thunder Cliff is a bit small, but it is still a high-grade third-tier spiritual vein. We'll have the Array Hall take a look and set up a spirit-gathering array for you first, and then upgrade it to the highest grade third-tier when the spiritual energy is most concentrated."

Master Ge Cang pointed towards the lair of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King at the top of the cliff, which was the area with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Thunder Cliff.

And on the other side of the cliff top is the famous Thunder Wall.

Because the cliffs are frequently struck by lightning, almost no spiritual plants grow there; it's a completely barren area.

The terrain is also unsuitable for cultivating spiritual fields, as the cliffs descend in a stepped fashion, requiring extra thought when building a cave dwelling.

"It's not small. The top of the cliff alone covers several hundred acres. Once the entire Thunder Cliff is developed, it can easily accommodate two or three thousand cultivators."

Bai Zichen already had a general plan in mind, but the specifics would have to be executed by professionals.

In less than half a day, Thunder Cliff had fallen into the hands of the Azure Maple Sect.

The time frame was so short it didn't feel like a pioneering war at all; it was truly the easiest third-tier spiritual vein to capture in history.

Only one unfortunate elder was seriously injured, while the others sustained minor injuries.

The sect's logistical support expenditures were practically zero, and the happiest person should be Gu Xisheng, who was inside the sect.

One-third of the Foundation Establishment cultivators were left behind, while the rest were withdrawn to the mountain gate. Soon after, thousands of Qi Refining disciples who had been prepared would be transported here by warship.

They are mainly disciples of the General Affairs Hall and the Formation Hall.

"Master, are we going to move here from Jade Moon Lake from now on?"

With a hint of excitement, Tong Huan asked.

"Naturally, the spiritual energy here is even better, and it's a blank canvas where I can paint whatever I want..."

Bai Zichen saw Lu Song behind him and called him over.

"Go to the Bai family and give this letter to the Bai clan patriarch. He will naturally know what to do. You can then bring the person back."

"I will obey my master's instructions."

Lu Song was relieved at this moment. Bai Zichen had already come out of seclusion to take charge of affairs, so there was no need to rush.

Based on Bai Zhenren's ideas, the stewards of the General Affairs Hall, who were skilled in construction, created the design blueprints for the entire Thunder Cliff in three days, which were approved.

However, the entire project is massive, and with the current manpower, it will take almost a year to even begin to take shape.

It may take about three years to complete the entire project.

Bai Zichen certainly couldn't wait that long. On one hand, he wrote to Gu Xisheng asking him to send more people. On the other hand, he personally funded the purchase of a large number of construction talismans.

This second-tier construction warrior does not possess any supernatural powers or spells, but once summoned, it can last for six hours.

Clearing land, digging holes, breaking rocks, moving heavy objects...

One construction worker is equivalent to a hundred Qi Refining disciples, which greatly improves efficiency.

On the array hall side, they had already selected a location to set up a spirit-gathering array, successfully upgrading the core area, which had a radius of about ten feet, to a third-grade spirit land at the cost of reducing the spiritual energy at the top of the cliff to the second-grade top quality.

Future construction will naturally take this as its core.

As for the grand formation of the entire Thunder Cliff, it has not yet been set up. We can only be confident when Zhou Suqing, the sect's top formation master, arrives.

However, it is said that at Jade Moon Lake, the dragon turtle reached the final stage of its advancement, causing a raging storm and huge waves that nearly flooded most of the buildings.

They could only rely on Zhou Suqing to oversee the formation and use its power to neutralize the various effects and damage caused by the dragon turtle.

Three months later, the cliff-top building began to take shape.

A magnificent and imposing hall, adorned with embroidered gold curtains, is constructed primarily of brass and jade.

Along the main hall is a row of pavilions and terraces, with glazed yellow tiles, flying eaves, and bronze bells.

Like stars surrounding the moon, the central hall is made to look like a celestial palace.

“Master, according to the blueprints, thirty-six towering ancient trees that are evergreen throughout the four seasons will also be transplanted... However, the sect cannot find so many ancient and vigorous spiritual trees at once, so the planting time may be a little later.”

The construction steward from the General Affairs Hall prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling and stuttering.

He held some status among the Qi Refining disciples, but he was nothing compared to the sect elders.

Facing a Core Formation Ancestor head-on, being able to give a complete reply already shows his mental fortitude.

"No need, I have my own arrangements for the empty area..."

Bai Zichen turned slightly to the side and said to Tong Huan, "You manage the people from the Bai family and make sure they plant the spirit bamboo as soon as possible... I want to see more than 10,000 spirit bamboo plants on Thunder Cliff before the end of the year."

Led by an elder at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the Mozhu Bai Clan brought about seventy clansmen, nearly a third of the clan's cultivators.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Tong Huan has been running around these days, taking on a lot of mundane tasks.

He was a disciple of Master Bai, and Tong Huan handled many matters more effectively than the other elders.

Bai Zichen was basically satisfied with the construction at the top of the cliff. The next step was to gradually move downwards and build various buildings and cultivation caves.

The disciples of the Array Hall had already calculated that although the area of ​​Thunderclap Cliff was far smaller than that of Jade Moon Lake, it could still open up seven low-grade third-tier spiritual lands and two mid-grade third-tier spiritual lands.

Inside the main hall, in addition to the council hall, reception hall, side hall, and wing rooms, there are three specially set-up quiet rooms, as well as a room equipped with various facilities specifically for practicing the various arts of immortal cultivation.

"Build according to my plan. If there are any problems that cannot be resolved, send me a message..."

Bai Zichen dumped the hard and tiring work on his disciple and hid in his quiet room, preparing to experience the cultivation effects of a third-tier top-grade spiritual land for the first time.
