Born with immortal seed

Chapter 341 Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword

Once the enlightenment period was over, I instantly felt my thinking speed slow down, and I no longer had that state of being able to understand everything at a glance.

When a question comes to mind, it takes a couple of turns before I can come up with the right answer.

"What a pity, if only this Bodhi of Enlightenment could last for a year or two..."

The Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword is different from the Thunder Sound Sword. As a flying sword refined from the finest traditional metals, every ingredient of spiritual material and every ball of earth fire is subject to rigorous refinement.

Unlike the Thunder Sound Sword, which relies more on the power of heavenly thunder to shape the flying sword, this sword is extremely unpredictable.

Without the time it takes for the earth's fire to smelt the sword during the three to five months, it's impossible to create a flying sword.

Compared to this lengthy process, the seven-day period of enlightenment experience that the Bodhi Enlightenment can provide seems insignificant.

Even if the last Bodhi seed of enlightenment stored in the secret hall were retrieved, it would have no effect.

The next step in the sword-forging process will test Bai Zichen's true skill in weapon crafting.

The alchemical fire ran smoothly as Bai Zichen monitored the changes in the spiritual materials within the cauldron while refining two brand-new Thunder Sound Swords.

In this way, they almost gathered half of the flying swords for the sword formation.

One hundred days later, the bronze cauldron began to vibrate. I quickly lifted the lid with my fingers and found a cyan sword embryo bobbing back and forth inside.

"The moment is now! Imperial decree!"

Bai Zichen stabilized the sword embryo, raised his hand and took out a banner, the very banner that had captured the essence of the black dragon.

The little black dragon, no longer as fierce as it once was, had inevitably withered after spending too long on the banner.

After all, it was just a temporary shelter and had not undergone any special refinement to make the dragon soul and the banner become one.

It was fortunate that it was the essence of a top-grade third-tier black dragon, which was incredibly powerful. If it were an ordinary third-tier demon beast essence, its power would likely have dissipated over time, and the essence would have simply vanished into nothingness.

"Hopefully, this won't affect the formation of the flying sword..."

Bai Zichen grabbed the banner and waved it, causing the mini black dragon to involuntarily fly towards the sword embryo in the cauldron.

When the two touched, they merged into one without any barrier, and the sword embryo gained a touch of spirituality.

The cauldron lid slammed down, and the sword forging continued.

Another hundred days passed, and Bai Zichen had taken two pills to restore his true essence. Finally, a dragon's roar came from the bronze cauldron.

A green dragon twisted its body and burst out of the bronze cauldron, about to fly away from the outside of the weapon-refining room.

The bronze cauldron overturned, and fire erupted from the ground, turning the weapon-refining room into chaos in the blink of an eye.

Bai Zichen moved swiftly, blocking Qinglong's path. Facing the whistling sword light, he calmly raised his right hand.

Snapped!
An ancient and timeless hand descended from the sky, slamming the Azure Dragon to the ground. In a flash, the giant hand directly gripped the Azure Dragon's body.

The azure light spun rapidly, shrinking into a sharp flying sword, with a majestic azure dragon coiled around its blade.

As it is waved, a moist mist lingers, as if it has been brushed by water ripples.

"If I let the flying sword I forged escape, I'll truly become a laughingstock throughout the entire Northern Region..."

Bai Zichen felt the unruly nature of the flying sword in his hand, and it exerted a strong struggling force, trying to break free from his grasp.

Some swordsmiths painstakingly forge a powerful flying sword, only to find that the sword possesses remarkable spirituality the moment it is forged, leading to a situation where the sword wants to escape.

This kind of thing only happens when a flying sword's power surpasses that of an ordinary third-tier flying sword, and when powerful spiritual materials were added during its forging.

I never expected that the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword could be so powerful; it seems that the Dragon Soul played a crucial role in its creation.

When I killed that black dragon, I felt that it had extraordinary bloodline and that its dragon bloodline should be quite pure.

The distance between them was comparable to teleportation, and Bai Zichen's physical body was even stronger than that of a body-refining cultivator, making it impossible for a flying sword to escape from him.

After acquiring the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword, he examined it carefully. The significance of a third-tier flying sword, forged without the blessing of the Enlightened Bodhi, was immense.

Although we were groping in the dark during many stages, we had no idea what to expect.

Fortunately, the opportunity arose, and he was able to complete all the steps of sword forging with ease.

Even with this experience, he wouldn't have any confidence in replicating the process of forging the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword again.

"When this sword is used, it can transform into a blue dragon, which has its own dragon might to intimidate... It is generally ineffective against human cultivators, but for demon beasts, the dragon might is a fear etched into their bones."

In addition, the owner of the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword can part the water and open up the sea, is not afraid of water pressure, and can move freely in the water.

"It's quite suitable for use in the open sea. Liang Kingdom doesn't even have a large lake. It's a waste of its talent."

With the refining complete, the Azure Dragon Havoc in the Sea Sword was no longer as irritable and stubborn as before, and obediently lay in Bai Zichen's hand.

The two Bodhi seeds that led to enlightenment played a significant role.

Not only did he forge four third-tier flying swords, but he also greatly improved his sword-forging skills.

This would save him at least twenty or thirty years of sword forging and honing, and he would still have a chance to forge a third-tier flying sword next time even without the Enlightenment Bodhi.

"It's a pity I've used up almost all the sword-forging materials I have, otherwise I really wanted to push forward and truly elevate my weapon-forging skills to the third-tier top grade..."

Bai Zichen walked out of the courtyard, intending to go and play with Gun Gun for a while, when his divine sense sensed something and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Thunder Wall.

With two steps, one is already above the bamboo forest, where a gaunt old man is squatting on the ground studying the fragments of the Thunder Crystal.

"Senior Brother Ge, when did you arrive? Why didn't you let someone call me?"

"Ge Cang Zhenren's sudden visit could only be related to a fourth-tier spiritual land," Bai Zichen asked.

"But did you make a new discovery while exploring that volcano, senior brother?"

"I haven't been here long. I heard you were refining weapons, so I just wandered around... I didn't think much of this lightning crystal fragment before, but now I realize it has great potential. I'll try out a few ideas when I have time in the future."

Master Ge Cang clapped his hands, dusted off the dirt, and solemnly recounted what he had seen deep in the Black Mountain.

Bai Zichen's expression gradually turned serious. Although he had known for a long time that there was a fourth-order great demon in the Black Mountain, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Now that it has been confirmed by Master Ge Cang, it instantly means that the base camp in the Black Mountain Range is not safe.

There is a very high probability that even Ancestor Qingfeng died because of Qingluan.

"Without Zhenling, Qingluan's strength has greatly decreased..."

Bai Zichen muttered to himself, raised his wrist, and a shimmering ribbon fell down, transforming into a magnificent crimson feather robe.

"This Rainbow Feather Robe is only a top-grade spiritual artifact, but the spiritual materials used are enough to refine a top-grade magic weapon... I was very puzzled about this the day before, but after you said that, I realized that many things make sense."

Ever since he obtained this treasured heirloom of the Fire Phoenix Mo Clan from Mo Changzhi, Bai Zichen has always worn it on his wrist without ever taking it off.

Besides the fact that the Rainbow Feather Robe can change its form and can be worn as a colorful ribbon on the wrist without getting in the way, the fact that this magical artifact itself is extraordinary makes him unable to simply keep it on a shelf or give it to his disciples or younger generations as he would with other magical artifacts.

In terms of crafting materials, the Rainbow Feather Robe used three Azure Phoenix True Feathers, one hundred Tier 3 Firebird Feathers, and several kinds of extremely precious textiles.

When the spiritual artifact fell into his hands, he was already wondering how terrible his refining skills must have been to ruin such a high-grade spiritual material into a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Now it seems that at least we can determine where the most important material for crafting the Rainbow Feather Robe came from.

I just don't know what method the mad ancestor of the Mo family used to pluck the three true feathers from the Azure Phoenix's tail. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator could try to pluck them for days and still not get them off.

As a result, this fourth-tier demon has been unable to regrow its true feathers even after a thousand years. Furthermore, it has poured all its demonic power into the growth of its true feathers, and it cannot even recover from minor skin injuries.

As for the Rainbow Feather Robe's ability to make one as light as a feather, impervious to strong winds, and immune to most spell damage below the third rank, it's not surprising that it could do these things after discovering that these three true feathers represented all the original demonic power of the fourth-rank Azure Phoenix.

"In the contents passed down to their descendants, the Mo family ancestors detailed the location of the Azure Phoenix and how to utilize its bloodline... Does this mean that the Mo family is truly the offspring of this transformed demon?"

The Fire Phoenix Mo Clan began to thrive in Black Mountain earlier than the Qingfeng Sect established its sect there.

Back then, at the foot of Black Mountain, only a few villages struggled to survive, relying on hunting and gathering fruit on the outskirts of Black Mountain to make a living.

The Mo family boasted that they possessed the bloodline of a fire phoenix, but the cultivators of the Qingfeng Sect always scoffed at it, simply assuming that they had used some kind of demonic beast bloodline to impersonate a divine beast bloodline.

If someone truly possessed the bloodline of a divine beast, their only advantage wouldn't be bearing children; it's as if no true genius has emerged among their descendants over such a long period.

But now it seems that Mo's claim of having the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix cannot be entirely considered a lie.

After all, Qingluan is a descendant of the fire phoenix, and the Mo family has the bloodline of Qingluan. So, rounding up, it's equivalent to the Mo family having the bloodline of the fire phoenix, which should be listed as an extremely noble divine beast family in the cultivation world.

"There's no need to delve into the story from a thousand years ago. The Mo family's traditions don't mention this matter, which means that apart from their ancestors, no one else knew about it."

Master Ge Cang's face lit up with joy. The Azure Phoenix, having lost its True Feather, could not use most of the fourth-order divine abilities, and naturally could not transform into human form.

If one can truly kill a fourth-tier demon beast, its flesh and blood resources could basically nurture three or four more Core Formation cultivators.

Moreover, there's also the fourth-order spiritual vein, which is of utmost importance to the two Core Formation Ancestors, that they can acquire.

"My idea is that once we understand the habits of the Azure Phoenix, prepare our secret treasures, and strive to capture this demon beast in one fell swoop, so that there will be no more fourth-tier demon beasts in the Black Mountain."

"Since Senior Brother Ge has such lofty ambitions, I will certainly accompany you!"

Bai Zichen, a Nascent Soul cultivator, had met several, and even had a Nascent Soul cultivator die under his sword.

But facing a fourth-tier demonic beast was a first for them.

He has a sufficient understanding of his own abilities and would never do anything that completely exceeds the limits of his capabilities.

If this blue phoenix hadn't lost its true feathers, he would have advised Master Ge Cang to take a longer-term view and find another way.

But since it's a rare, featherless blue phoenix, it's definitely not something to miss.

"Let's kill this beast and avenge Ancestor Qingfeng!"
