Born with immortal seed

Chapter 325: Please Die
"If you commit suicide, I might preserve a spark for the Qingfeng Sect... at least leave you a few disciples to sweep the tombs and offer incense, so that your lineage will not be completely extinguished."

Nine Lotus True Monarch revealed a look of pity, both for the sake of Qingfeng Sect and for himself.

"I heard that the Qingfeng Sect is a lineage from the cultivation world across the outer sea, and it's a pity that it's been cut off..."

"Nine Lotus True Lord, are you really determined to exterminate them all? Don't you consider the possibility that someone might benefit from it?"

Master Ge Cang was already engulfed in a sea of ​​thunder, and his voice was filled with the sound of thunder, booming loudly.

"Although I am not very talented, you are underestimating me if you think you can take down Qingfeng Sect without any damage."

"Yes, I have to admit, you are the strongest Core Formation cultivator I have ever seen... When I reached the peak of Core Formation, I was far inferior to you."

Nine Lotus True Monarch spoke slowly, and the nine blue lotuses surrounding him dispersed, creating invisible ripples.

"That's why you have to die today... At worst, I'll just wait until I become a Saint Lotus Sect and close the mountain for another hundred years. It's not like we haven't experienced it before. Do you think we can break through Qishan?"

Behind him unfolded a space that resembled a fairyland, planted with countless lotus flowers, their fragrance filling the air.

When the cranes cry, their voices resound throughout the land, and mythical beasts such as sika deer and white rabbits run around.

Deep within the misty clouds, towering pavilions and magnificent palaces exude a spiritual energy concentration that is definitely at the fourth-tier spiritual land level.

This is the realm unique to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, a prototype of the grotto-heaven of a Nascent Soul Great Power, his own universe.

Besides being able to store items and accommodate living beings, if one is willing to use the domain to fight enemies and manifest in the world, it will be a treasure even more powerful than one's natal magic weapon.

The realm is generated from the void and continuously refined and improved. In addition to having the ability to seal the void, all the rules in this space are beneficial to the cultivator and weaken the opponent.

With one increase and one decrease, even those with the same cultivation level will show a difference in cultivation level.

As fellow Nascent Soul True Monarchs, using their domains as a means of combat carries a significant risk of injury.

This is only possible if a magical treasure is used to suppress and solidify the realm.

However, against a Core Formation True Person, whose realm is overwhelming, the Nascent Soul Realm is an unparalleled weapon.

No escape spell can work against the boundary. Enveloped by the power of space, he fell into the small world of the Nascent Soul True Monarch and was at his mercy.

Judging from how mature Nine Lotus True Monarch's Nascent Soul Realm is, it is clear that he has spent a great deal of effort and energy.

Similarly, the manifested power of heaven and earth will be even stronger.

"No matter how powerful a Core Formation cultivator is, he is still just a Core Formation cultivator... He is extremely vulnerable in the face of a major difference in cultivation realms!"

As the Nine Lotus True Lord waved his robe, a blue lotus bloomed, transforming into countless petals.

He forcibly severed his connection with the Snow Lotus, causing his strength to decline rapidly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to take such a serious approach to dealing with True Person Ge Cang, even opening his Nascent Soul Realm.

"First kill Ge Cang, then go kill that Bai Zichen... Anyway, the Heavenly Principle Sect will handle things here; I believe they won't leave a Qingfeng Sect disciple to cause trouble."

Master Ge Cang's expression was grim as he looked at the fragile lotus petals, each one as heavy as a thousand pounds, forming its own world.

Even if the entire ocean of thunder were unleashed, it would at most destroy the first green lotus, which is far inferior to the strength of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"Even a full-force attack that exhausts one's true essence is only equivalent to a casual strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator... There is no other way but that divine ability!"

Master Ge Cang smiled calmly, and his body suddenly grew taller, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds.

He used the Pink Crystal Shattering Jade Technique to shatter his Five Crystal Eternal Body and Glazed Fire God Body, gaining supreme power in return.

Two large hands, radiating dazzling light, grasped the blue lotus and rubbed it hard, causing it to shatter like a real flower.

'To survive, the only way is to make True Monarch Nine Lotuses want to retreat within a hundred breaths, thus preventing irreversible damage to the physical body...'

When Ge Cang Zhenren unleashed a palm strike, the surrounding space trembled violently, affecting the scenery within the Nascent Soul Realm.

It was as if an earthquake had occurred; chickens flew and dogs barked, cranes were startled and their feathers fluttered, and several pavilions collapsed.

The lotus flowers that had blocked the way were easily pierced by this fleshy palm until a jade ruler appeared and stopped the palm.

裆！
With a deafening clang of metal colliding, ripples spread through the space at the point of impact, almost tearing the space apart.

"Nascent Soul level?"

Nine Lotus True Monarch looked over in disbelief; this was not the kind of strength a Core Formation True Person could display.

His guardian lotus was formed after the cultivation technique was perfected. It has the ability to protect its master on its own and has a world within the flower. Each flower is equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon.

"Very well, I'd like to see how long you can maintain this level of strength!"

Nine Lotus True Monarch did not expect that even using the Nascent Soul Realm to deal with a Core Formation True Person would still be insufficient.

At this moment, even the true meaning of the Great Dao must be fully manifested, making it no different from fighting a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

'If only I had brought out the sect's spiritual treasure, there wouldn't have been so much trouble...'

Within the Holy Lotus Sect, there are naturally inherited spiritual treasures.

However, even the Nine Lotus True Monarch would not carry a spiritual treasure on his person for a long time. After all, strictly speaking, spiritual treasures belong to the sect, and he is only a temporary user.

If it were lost to outsiders, it would be an unbearable pain for the Holy Lotus Sect.

Blue lotuses sprouted from the earth, and golden light descended from the sky.

At the same time, dozens of lotus seeds fell from the hands of the Nine Lotus True Monarch, and the corresponding wooden puppets stood up, moving in unison, all showing fluctuations of Core Formation aura.

"Assimilated by plants and trees, the spirit becomes like elm wood?"

Master Ge Cang discovered that his limbs were showing signs of becoming petrified, and at the same time, the speed of his spiritual consciousness decreased, becoming ten times slower than normal.

"So this is the path that True Monarch Nine Lotus walks. Let's have a contest to see who has a deeper understanding of the Great Path of Wood..."

Ge Cang Zhenren simply let go of his defenses and transformed into a towering divine tree. With the blessing of his Five Crystal Glazed Body, this divine tree was more than twice as large as when it manifested last time.

Half of the tree trunk burst into flames, burning the wooden puppets to a crisp before they could even get close.

On the other half, thunder arose from the void, and countless branches transformed into nourishment for divine thunder, spreading each cluster of Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder Net thousands of times.

The interconnected formations created a chain reaction, and with each layer of power building upon the last, they had already reached the level of a heavenly tribulation.

Nine Lotus True Lord's expression was solemn. He pointed out a flower with his natal jade ruler. Where the Glazed True Flame was uncontrollable, he extinguished it with a single strike of the ruler.

Where thunder roars, threatening to annihilate and shatter the Azure Lotus, stirring up chaos once more.

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became, truly feeling that he was facing a cultivator of the same level, rather than just a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Even a wisp of that Glazed True Flame could burn his third-tier wooden puppet to ashes.

The Glazed True Flame did not extinguish; it continued to fly towards its next target, as if its burning did not consume its own energy.

As long as they are connected in a line, even he would feel a burning pain on his skin, and there were already yellowish marks on his Taoist robe.

The ever-renewing and endlessly evolving Primordial Yang Divine Thunder reminded him of the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Thunder, a thunder that contained both destruction and life, posing a great threat even to Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

'I refuse to believe that someone with his strength can achieve this without paying a price... Even with the help of a secret treasure, a Core Formation cultivator couldn't possibly match a Nascent Soul cultivator's true essence recovery speed, let alone with the assistance of a Nascent Soul cultivator.'

Nine Lotus True Monarch could see that his Great Dao True Meaning had not been ineffective.

While Ge Cang Zhenren's spiritual reaction speed wasn't reduced to the exaggerated level of plants and spiritual trees, it was no longer sufficient for him to contribute in battles at the Nascent Soul level.

All of his current offensive moves stem from his overwhelming strength, making it impossible for him to adapt to the changing situation on the field.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Ge Cang Zhenren's Dao True Meaning also originated from the Wood element and that his intention was even higher, it would have been impossible.

At this moment, they should be frozen like puppets, their movements sluggish and unresponsive.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Jiulian is in dire straits. You promised to hand over Black Mountain to my Heavenly Principle Sect today. Could it be that you're unable to do so..."

Shi Chengdong stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the fierce battle taking place over Black Mountain from a hundred miles away.

"True Lord Shi is joking. Dealing with a mere patriarch of the Azure Maple Sect is a piece of cake..."

At such a distance, Qu Yang was unable to see the situation clearly, so he could only smile apologetically.

"My promise to Fellow Daoist Jiulian is based on the premise that the Black Mountain Range is obtained... If anything goes wrong with what your sect promised, don't blame me for breaking my promise."

Shi Chengdong remained calm, thankfully he hadn't attacked Qingfeng Sect that day to be on the safe side.

If he had been too hasty when he first arrived in Liang and had attacked Black Mountain, he would have been the one who couldn't save face.

Shi Chengdong's injuries were far more serious than outsiders imagined.

With Po Jun Xing Jun and Cui Xu of Bai Kui Sect joining forces, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape if he wanted to; he would simply have to leave all the sect disciples on the five airships to his opponents.

In order to cover the disciples on the remaining three airships, they fought and retreated intermittently for almost a month.

They managed to hold off two Nascent Soul True Monarchs at all costs, giving the disciples of the Heavenly Principle Sect a way out.

Furthermore, the spiritual land he resided in after arriving in Liang Kingdom was not particularly auspicious, which made Shi Chengdong's recovery from his injuries even slower.

However, despite his relief, Shi Chengdong also did not believe that Master Ge Cang could hold on for much longer.

To be able to improve one's strength by such a huge margin in one go is already quite extraordinary.

However, every gain comes with a price. To gain power beyond one's level, the price to pay is naturally more staggering, and the limitations will be equally greater.

'For a small sect like Qingfeng Sect to produce such a powerful Core Formation cultivator, and I've heard they also have an equally extraordinary swordsman... Could it be that Qingfeng Sect has already opened the ancient secret realm and obtained the inheritance of an ancient powerful being, which explains their rapid progress?'

While Shi Chengdong was still speculating about the reason for Ge Cang Zhenren's strength, he saw a sword light that was indescribable appear on the horizon, filling his entire field of vision.

……

As soon as Bai Zichen entered the Black Mountain Range, he felt the sect token getting hot and vibrating wildly.

'The sect has been attacked; we cannot fight back... All Qingfeng Sect disciples currently outside the sect must take cover and await further instructions. Do not return to the sect!'

The red text on the token is repeated three times consecutively, and all disciples of the highest level (true disciple or above) will receive it.

It's just that as a Core Formation Ancestor, his token is made of a special material, which allows it to appear immediately.

"Is it the Blood God True Man, or the Nine Lotus True Monarch, or the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Principle Sect?"

Bai Zichen's heart trembled violently. He became one with the sword, piercing the sky and appearing above the mountain gate.

Looking at Ge Cang Zhenren, who was locked in a fierce battle with Jiulian Zhenjun, and who was holding his own, his mind was as clear as a mirror. Only the Pink Crystal Shattering Jade Technique could achieve this.

"Holding evil intentions, you have offended our sect..."

Bai Zichen opened his mouth and spat out a lightning sword that stretched and changed shape, its light and shadow shifting, and landed in his hand. This was the first time he had truly activated it since he had obtained it so many years ago.

"Please, True Lord Nine Lotus, accept your fate!"
