Born with immortal seed

Chapter 291 Absolute Strength Breaks the Mystery
The two Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were drenched in sweat, their bodies convulsing, and they soon stopped breathing.

Soul-searching spells are inherently extremely damaging to the sea of ​​consciousness, let alone Bai Zichen's ruthless treatment of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples.

"There are eight mysterious figures who arrived in the army just before the departure... They were personally received by Master White Bone and placed in the center of the group, where no one else could reach them."

The images obtained from searching the minds of the two Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were mostly useless; they were the experiences of arduous cultivation within the sect and fighting against others to grow stronger.

Only the most recent few scenes could attract Bai Zichen's attention.

The clothing of six of them was distinctly different from that of the cultivators in the Northern Region, but their styles were uniform, indicating that they came from the same sect.

Behind them were two other people, dressed in dark blue robes with hoods, which covered their entire bodies.

"Eight Core Formation cultivators!"

Bai Zichen exclaimed in surprise. The two Qi Refining disciples had limited vision and could not discern the cultivation levels of the eight mysterious people.

But based solely on the White Bone Immortal's attitude and the imposing aura revealed in the scene, he could determine that all eight were Core Formation Immortals.

However, it is not possible to determine the specific stage of Core Formation through the Soul Search screen.

Furthermore, one of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples had a familiar elder who was a Foundation Establishment Elder, who clearly told him that the White Bone True Man's cultivation had increased dramatically after he emerged from seclusion.

He kept muttering that this expedition to Montenegro was to make up for all the losses he had suffered in the previous expeditions.

"No wonder they were so confident in attacking Black Mountain; this lineup is almost comparable to the Demonic Alliance back then..."

In the video, there are ferocious demons on the banners on the summit of Xiaoluo Mountain, about to climb out of the banners and roar towards the sky.

Even from that great distance, Bai Zichen could feel that pure malice, a gathering of countless negative emotions, and the most intense Yin energy.

Once that evil spirit takes shape, it will definitely be at the peak of the Core Formation stage, or even a powerful ghost king capable of mastering some fourth-order divine abilities.

If he were to face the White Bone True Man, whose strength had surged dramatically, and the evil spirits that were clearly summoned by the Ghost Spirit Sect through extremely costly means, he would actually be confident that he could put up a fight.

However, with eight mysterious Core Formation cultivators suddenly appearing, it was impossible to enter rashly.

In any case, the Ghost Spirit Sect set up this place as a temporary base, confidently waiting for the Green Maple Sect to come to them, and had no intention of hunting down and slaughtering cultivators everywhere.

Let's wait and see, until Senior Brother Ge Cang gives us a reply and we reunite.

"Don't rush, your time to slay the enemy will come..."

Bai Zichen gently stroked the Moon Whirlwind Sword with his divine sense, keeping it calm as it was about to fly out of its scabbard.

He simply closed his eyes and rested in the cave, using his divine sense to keep a close eye on the changes on Xiaoluo Mountain.

A day later, they sensed the sect token getting hot, and words appeared on it.

He sent his location, put away the token, and left everything as it was, without making any changes.

The next day, as the sun rose, a purple aura burst forth.

Bai Zichen suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the cave: "Senior Brother Ge, you've arrived."

"We went too deep into the Black Mountain this time. I never expected such a thing to happen in just a few days... Junior brother, have you found out if the Holy Lotus Sect has gotten involved?"

A travel-worn figure entered the cave. Master Ge Cang's face was expressionless, and he calmly asked...

"All we know is that eight Core Formation Realm experts have come from the Ghost Spirit Sect to help us. In addition, the White Bone Realm expert is suspected to have made great progress in his cultivation and has used several of his trump cards."

Bai Zichen shared all the information he knew, and with a wave of his hand, he used the Water Mirror Technique to recreate the images of the eight mysterious cultivators obtained from the soul search.

"Master Mu, very well!"

Master Ge Cang's gaze turned cold as he focused on one of the cultivators whose figure was concealed by a long robe and hood, recognizing the man's identity and background at a glance.

"This person is an elder of a branch of the Holy Lotus Sect, a True Person who has accumulated years of experience in Core Formation. I fought with him once a hundred years ago... The skin on his left hand has shrunk and has obvious cracks, which are the marks left by the divine lightning injury from back then!"

“Since this person is here, the one next to him must also be a Core Formation True Person of the Holy Lotus Sect… As for the other six, they look like Confucian cultivators from the Central Region. I wonder how they got mixed up with the Holy Lotus Sect and the Ghost Spirit Sect.”

Bai Zichen looked at the left hand of the Taoist Mu in the water mirror. His palm would occasionally peek out as he moved, and it was indeed smaller than his right hand.

Moreover, the skin was like parched earth, cracked with countless fissures, the deepest of which were almost penetrating the palm of the hand.

Even a Core Formation True Person cannot repair such superficial injuries. It can only mean that True Person Ge Cang's divine lightning damaged Daoist Mu's foundation, which is why this happened.

"Regardless of how these cultivators from the Central Region arrived, their presence alongside the Holy Lotus Sect in the Ghost Spirit Sect's army clearly indicates their intentions... I didn't expect that before we even met the Blood God True Person, the Holy Lotus Sect would be the first to launch an attack on us."

After a brief silence, Bai Zichen spoke solemnly, as the Holy Lotus Sect's personal intervention was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Could it be that this group of cultivators from the Central Region has some past connection with True Monarch Nine Lotus, came to seek refuge, and then set their sights on the Black Mountain Range?"

Bai Zichen made a casual guess, unaware that he was already very close to the truth.

The reason why it was originally thought that the Holy Lotus Sect would be no match was that even after the Nine Lotus True Monarch passed away, the Qingfeng Sect did not threaten the strength of the Holy Lotus Sect.

Secondly, once the Nine Lotus True Monarch passes away, the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons will surely sense his presence and come to kill him, not letting the opportunity slip by.

At times like these, it's crucial to distinguish between primary and secondary conflicts and identify which allies are worth trying to win over.

However, if an outside force were to join, it could completely replace the position of the Qingfeng Sect and become the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect in the future.

All the Holy Lotus Sect needs to do is act as a go-between for the outside forces and the Ghost Spirit Sect. The Holy Lotus Sect won't have to pay much of a price, nor will it provoke a backlash from other Core Formation level sects.

It's hard to say what changes might occur during this process.

"Regardless of the specific details, as long as we list the Holy Lotus Sect as an enemy from today onwards... there is no need to worry about True Monarch Nine Lotus. He has to pay a heavy price every time he leaves Qishan, and he will not move easily when his lifespan is running out."

It is clear that Master Ge Cang possesses some secrets unknown to outsiders, which led to the incorrect judgment made in the last discussion.

"Junior Brother Bai, would you be interested in joining me to storm Xiaoluo Mountain and send these people utterly defeated... Let them know that alliances and schemes are all underhanded tricks, utterly ineffective in the face of absolute power!"

"good!"

This suggestion suited Bai Zichen's taste perfectly; if the two of them joined forces, they could indeed conquer the world.

From what Ge Cang Zhenren said that day, we can tell that he was confident that he could make the Nascent Soul True Monarch pay a deep and memorable price in a life-or-death situation.

With the fourth layer of the Five-Crystal Glazed Body, its physical strength is beyond doubt, and its ability to protect itself is absolutely top-tier among all Core Formation cultivators.

"However, since Master Baigu dared to come here, besides what is out in the open, I'm afraid he has also found a secret treasure that can restrain us."

Compared to Ge Cang Zhenren, Bai Zichen still had quite a few tokens hidden on him.

If we prepare in the same way we did when we killed the old hag, it will definitely surprise her.

"I have refined this staff into my natal magic weapon, and at the same time refined it into the true feather of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, so that I can use it to cast lightning escape... Combined with the Instantaneous Horizon technique, who in the world can stop me?"

Master Ge Cang held a three-foot-long staff, which was a top-grade magic weapon made from the core of a fourth-order low-grade lightning-struck wood that he had obtained from Fang Tiansheng, along with several other precious spiritual materials.

At the same time, with the help of the wondrous Cantong Qi, their consciousness merged in less than thirty years, and it became their natal magic weapon.

"Wait a moment, I'll draw their attention first and try to find an opportunity to deal with Master White Bone... You look for a chance to kill him with a single blow from the outside, and try to reduce their numbers as much as possible. We must not get bogged down in a prolonged battle. If there are any signs of us being surrounded, we'll retreat!"

The two made a simple division of labor: Ge Cang Zhenren's divine lightning was extremely effective against Bai Gu Zhenren.

Even if his cultivation level increases significantly, he still wouldn't be a match for Master Ge Cang.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them.

Their goal, besides driving the Ghost Spirit Sect army out of Black Mountain, was also to reduce the number of Core Formation cultivators on the enemy side.

Just like if the Ghost Spirit Sect could eliminate the White Bone True Man, it would be impossible for them to organize a sect war of this level again, and the threat to the Green Maple Sect would immediately drop to zero.

Looking towards Xiaoluo Mountain, Master Ge Cang took a step forward and was already several miles away.

With each step taken, the sky darkened a little more, and violent lightning gathered.

After taking a few steps, they arrived at the foot of Xiaoluo Mountain. Above Ge Cang Zhenren's head, a sea of ​​thunder had formed, with endless lightning roaring within.

"White bones, you dare to invade my Black Mountain? Who gave you the audacity... It seems the lessons from the previous two times weren't profound enough, allowing you to harbor thoughts you shouldn't have!"

Master Ge Cang's voice was like thunder, accompanied by bursts of lightning that exploded in the air.

It was as if a god who controlled the thunder in the sky had descended to earth, with the thunderous liquid churning and flowing, and tens of millions of divine thunderbolts falling towards the top of Xiaoluo Mountain.

Each bolt of divine lightning underwent various changes in the air, with thousands of lightning bolts flying out. Any Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator who was grazed by it would die instantly, and whoever was touched by it would perish.

When demonic magic encounters divine lightning, it's like adding fuel to a fire.

In a single encounter, the Ghost Spirit Sect lost a third of its disciples—a real reduction.

If you are grazed by divine lightning, you will either be burned into a fireball and turn into charcoal, or you will be turned into ashes.

Moreover, the ocean of lightning formed by the Divine Thunder Net is inexhaustible, showing no signs of diminishing or decreasing.

It contained traces of divine power, and the array set up on Xiaoluo Mountain was completely ineffective. Lightning crackled on all the array flags, and they burst into flames from their roots.

"Just as you've always been, daring to venture into dragon's dens and tiger's lair... Ge Cang, today I will make you die here!"

Upon seeing this, the White Bone Immortal was furious.

Having suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of Master Ge Cang without any chance to fight back, he dared not hold back in the slightest and immediately used his strongest methods.

With a fierce roar, a wisp of nether energy flew out from his chest. It was extremely faint, yet it seemed to lead directly to the underworld, causing the space within a radius of several feet to shift.

The nether energy, like a small snake, circled twice before splitting into two pieces and rushing into the eyes of the White Bone Immortal, where two points of yin fire exploded.

The ghastly white bones suddenly expanded, and the Bone Immortal instantly grew to a height of ten zhang, with bone wings growing on his back and bone spurs on his arms.

"Ge Cang, let me show you what the true White Bone Demon Body, a true disciple of the Demon Realm, is all about!"

The skeleton chuckled sinisterly, plucked two bone spurs from its own body, and threw them forcefully.
