Born with immortal seed

Chapter 328 Summary after the war
"Originally, I was thinking about how to deal with the Five Crystal Glass Body after reaching the Nascent Soul stage... Should I ruthlessly abandon my cultivation technique, or should I find another way to take a different path from the original?"

Blood kept seeping from Ge Cang Zhenren's entire body, staining his blue Taoist robe red.

It looks quite frightening, but it's not life-threatening.

The Five Crystal Eternal Casting Body and the Glazed Fire God Body can be said to have penetrated deep into the marrow of cultivators, affecting every inch of skin, every piece of flesh, and every bone.

If it weren't for the overwhelming power of the Pink Crystal Jade Shattering Technique, it wouldn't be easy to cripple one's own cultivation under normal circumstances.

Having cultivated to the fourth level, the changes at the physical level are manageable, but how to make the Five Crystal Divine Iron and Glazed Fire Jade, which have been permanently manifested in the sea of ​​consciousness, disappear without causing the sea of ​​consciousness to collapse is an unsolvable problem.

The effects of the destruction of the five-crystal glass body will take at least one or two decades to recover.

After that, it would be very difficult for Master Ge Cang to regain such overwhelming strength at the Core Formation stage.

The reason why he was able to unleash the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder Net without restraint was not only because his thunder magic level far surpassed others, but also because of two other mysterious secrets.

First, the true Dao, which transformed into the Jianmu tree to nourish all things, ensured that the divine thunder had no worries about its future power.

Even the tribulation lightning cannot last forever; the so-called endless life of the spirit-transforming divine lightning refers to its lifespan compared to others.

When fighting with others, if the Thunder Magic is destroyed and one still hopes that the Divine Thunder will gather its Thunder-type spiritual power again and reappear, it's too late.

The Great Dao of Wood Nourishing All Things allows True Person Ge Cang to use his full essence to activate thunder magic, making him at least equivalent to three or four Core Formation Perfection cultivators.

The second point is that the powerful physical body brought by the Five Crystal Glazed Body allows him to disregard the violent lightning spiritual power and push the power of the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Lightning Net to its limit.

For example, the cultivators of the Heavenly Thunder Sect in the Central Region, who are famous for their thunder magic, claim to have inherited the lineage of the Thunder God of the Upper Realm and possess seventeen kinds of thunder magic that can help them comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao.

However, cultivators in the Central Region all know that the disciples of the Thunderclap Sect usually only display up to 70% of their strength.

Because if there were more, the power of the lightning magic would harm the user before harming others, and few cultivators could withstand it.

Only in a life-or-death struggle can one unleash the full power of divine thunder.

Thunder spirit roots are not uncommon among them. The most famous True Monarchs in the history of the Thunder Sect all possessed thunder-type holy bodies. They were just waiting to transform into divine thunder after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and they were nearly immune to thunder magic, capable of evolving into heavenly tribulations.

While Ge Cang Zhenren's Five-Crystal Glazed Body is certainly not as exaggerated as the Thunder-type Sacred Body, it is an absolutely extraordinary existence before the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, based solely on the true meaning of the Dao of Illusion and Reality, True Person Ge Cang is still among the top Core Formation cultivators in the Northern Region.

However, they are no longer at the level of super-powerful holy sons of major sects, as they were when they were placed in the Central Region.

However, if one can transform into an infant, then this path to becoming a nascent soul is even purer and more direct.

“Especially Junior Brother Bai, with your strength, you will collect no less cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities in the future. Those that catch your eye and that you will cultivate are all at the level of touching the true meaning of the Great Dao... The more this is the case, the more cautious you must be, especially after you have reached the peak of Core Formation.”

Master Ge Cang touched his Taoist robe, and a burst of lightning evaporated all the blood.

"With your talent, if you were in a Nascent Soul sect, your teachers would have already planned the best path for you and reminded you of these things long ago... As a branch newly created by Ancestor Qingfeng, our sect does not have this kind of inheritance, so I can only pass on the information after trying it step by step. In fact, it is the sect that is wasting your talent."

"As time goes on, there will be less and less for me to guide you. We can only rely on our joint efforts to help the younger generation avoid some detours."

“Senior Brother Ge, you flatter me. Without the sect, I wouldn’t be where I am today… I will be more careful in my future cultivation choices.”

Bai Zichen understood what Ge Cang Zhenren meant; it didn't just refer to the Five Crystal Glass Body.

Some ordinary spells, no matter how high-level they are, don't matter and won't have any effect.

However, techniques and supernatural abilities of this caliber, such as the Five-Crystal Glazed Body or the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, would obviously affect the path to the Great Dao.

If one simply focuses on combat strength and accumulates it endlessly, once reaching the Nascent Soul realm, any conflicts or incompatibilities will become a hindrance.

Fortunately, he organized all that he had learned, and the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was the least problematic. His own alchemy theory was even derived from the power of time, and he could only draw nourishment from this supreme divine power.

From the current perspective, while the Five-Crystal Glass Body may not have the same positive promoting effect as the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, it is certainly unlikely to cause any conflict or resistance.

His main cultivation technique is the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture. In the future, after his fire spiritual root grows into an inferior heavenly spiritual root, it will definitely become the most outstanding among his three spiritual roots.

The rest are all about swordsmanship, not involving the Five Elements, and transcending Yin and Yang.

From the current perspective, there are no major conflicts.

"By the way, speaking of Ancestor Qingfeng, that's why I came back this time..."

Bai Zichen took out the coffin, gently pushed it open with one hand, revealing the white bones inside.

“A disciple from Wanxianjian provided a clue. He accidentally discovered it when he was young. After my research, I was able to confirm that the remains were those of Ancestor Qingfeng. There were no other injuries on the remains. He died because he overused the Pink Crystal Shattering Jade Technique.”

"In addition, the Ancestral Master's sword and the accompanying auxiliary techniques of the Cantong Qi, as well as the Dingqi Song, were also found near the remains."

"As expected, it was left over from the Pink Crystal Jade Shattering Technique. If Junior Brother Bai had arrived even a moment later today, I would have suffered the same fate."

Master Ge Cang walked to the coffin, reached out and gently touched the white bones, feeling the fine, spider-like lines.

He didn't even need to look at the Qingfeng Sword and Jade Lock that Bai Zichen took out to determine the identity of the corpse's owner.

"How did the remains of Ancestor Qingfeng end up in Hejian County? Senior Brother Yang seemed to have mentioned that when Ancestor Qingfeng was nearing the end of his lifespan, he went deep into the Black Mountain and supposedly perished together with a powerful third-tier peak demon beast..."

"There must be something wrong with this statement. Senior Brother Ge, you will know once you have read the contents of the Cauldron Song... If Ancestor Qingfeng had the idea of ​​never returning, he would never have taken this auxiliary cultivation technique with him, leading to its loss within the sect."

Bai Zichen had not expected that the message passed down from the sect would be in this way regarding the passing of Ancestor Qingfeng.

This indirectly suggests that Qingfeng Sect did not encounter a life-or-death enemy back then, but rather there was another reason.

Ge Cang Zhenren took the jade lock, glanced at it quickly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems the rumors are wrong. If such a method existed, at least every Core Formation Zhenren could cultivate the Cantong Qi to the fourth volume... In fact, after I cultivated the Five Crystal Glazed Body to the fourth level, I wondered about the truth of this claim. If someone who has cultivated the Glazed Fire God still has third-tier demonic beasts that they cannot deal with, how powerful must their bloodline be?"

As the person with the highest cultivation level of the Cantongqi in the sect, Master Ge Cang immediately gave an accurate evaluation.

"But who was it that could force Ancestor Qingfeng to this extent, requiring him to unleash the Pink Crystal Shattering Jade Technique to such a degree, ultimately leading to his death..."

As a cultivator who had just used the Pink Crystal Jade Shattering Technique, True Person Ge Cang was the most qualified to speak on this matter.

If he had disregarded the sect and focused solely on escaping when facing True Monarch Nine Lotus, there would have been a very high chance he could have escaped.

After all, the Nine Lotus True Monarch's Nascent Soul Realm was invincible against Core Formation True Persons, but at that time, True Person Ge Cang's strength was equivalent to that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator, and he was fully capable of breaking through the small world's restrictions and escaping.

"I wonder if there are any such secret records in the Hall of Skill Transmission?"

Seeing that even Master Ge Cang was unaware of the inside story, Bai Zichen could only place his hopes on the Transmission Hall.

“I will summon Yingzhong. If there are any secrets passed down orally in the Hall of Transmission of Skills, and not recorded in writing, he, as the Hall Master, will certainly know them!”

Wei Dao stood up excitedly, because finding the cauldron and the artifact song would directly benefit them, the few Core Formation elders.

He and Zhou Suqing, in particular, saw the biggest improvement.

Bai Zichen and Ge Cang Zhenren's strength is not lacking in the changes brought about by cultivating the Cantong Qi to the fourth volume.

"No need to rush, ask him later... Even Senior Brother Yang doesn't know the truth, I doubt the Transmission Hall could possibly pass down any secrets or inside information."

Master Ge Cang waved his hand and said relatively calmly.

"I have already contributed the Azure Maple Sword as a reward to that disciple... As for how many contribution points should be awarded for presenting the Cauldron Song, that will have to be discussed further by the Transmission Hall."

Bai Zichen mentioned the matter briefly and shared his opinion.

"As for the Cauldron Song, I think it should be made available to Core Formation cultivators unconditionally first, and the sect leader and the five hall masters can read it for a price. It should not be made available to more Foundation Establishment disciples for the time being."

"Sure, you can do whatever you want."

Master Ge Cang remained noncommittal; he never offered his opinion on such matters.

“Junior Brother Bai has considered everything thoroughly. Since the Cantong Qi can only work on Core Formation cultivators, it is natural that it must be distinguished from other cultivation methods.”

Wei Dao nodded in agreement. Now, upon hearing what his junior brother, who was capable of slaying a Nascent Soul True Monarch, said, he instinctively felt compelled to obey.

"I also collected the body of True Monarch Nine Lotus. I found that he only carried his natal magic weapon with him, not even a storage bag..."

"It's a pity. If only we could have brought a spiritual treasure with us... Since we've already completely broken ties with the Holy Lotus Sect, we could have just accepted the spiritual treasure as spoils of war, and our sect would have a treasure to protect it."

Bai Zichen was not surprised by this; he had sensed the remaining lifespan of the Nine Lotus True Monarch through the River of Time when he drew his sword.

Less than sixty years have passed, and it is still rapidly slipping away, like a kettle with a hole that can no longer hold clean water.

It is estimated that he left Qishan with the mindset of never returning, wanting to finish everything before his death, and must have distributed all his wealth and left it in Qishan.

Furthermore, in the mind of True Monarch Nine Lotus, dealing with the Azure Maple Sect by himself would be a piece of cake, and there was absolutely no need to bring out the spiritual treasure.

"It's fortunate that I didn't have any magical treasures, otherwise the Nine Lotus True Monarch would have torn my bones apart..."

Master Ge Cang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“That’s true. If the Holy Lotus Sect sends someone, Senior Brother Wei, you should ask for more. Anyway, we can’t do anything to Qishan’s fourth-order formation for the time being. It’s always good to get more resources out of it… After all, it’s the corpse of a Nascent Soul Ancestor. How can the Holy Lotus Sect show the noble status of True Monarch Nine Lotus if they don’t spend a lot this time?”
