Born with immortal seed

Chapter 382 The Peculiar Inheritance of the Crimson Light Lineage

Thunder Cliff.

"You have all joined our sect at different times, but you are all from the same school. No matter where you go in the future, I hope you will always be respectful to your hometown and share the same lineage."

Bai Zichen was holding a fluffy black and white ball of fur, while his four disciples stood respectfully in a row with their hands clasped.

Tuantuan rarely gets to see its owner, so it sniffed the air and wriggled its fat body as it snuggled into its owner's arms.

Every now and then, he would eat the flesh and blood of third-tier demon beasts, and he even ate a couple of bites of a fourth-tier demon beast, but he immediately fainted from blood rushing to his head.

Under such growth conditions, Gun Gun finally grew into a second-tier high-grade spirit beast.

"Master, rest assured, the four of us will work together to seek the Great Dao and immortality, and build a great sect together."

Tong Huan, as the eldest disciple, spoke on behalf of the disciple.

“I know you are busy with the sect’s affairs and have many responsibilities. However, you should also focus on your own cultivation. Prioritize your realm and put aside your ability to protect the sect for now. As the sect leader, you don’t need to personally go to the battlefield to fight and win.”

Bai Zichen noticed the wrinkles around his eldest disciple's eyes and his furrowed brows, and couldn't help but offer an extra word of advice.

"If necessary, you can take high-level pills continuously to break through the bottleneck. I will find a way to resolve the accumulated pill poison for you."

After all, he was the first person I took in and watched grow up, so my feelings for him are deeper.

Given limited talent, one must make trade-offs; it's impossible to maintain one's cultivation level while simultaneously developing combat supernatural abilities.

As for his dedication to the position of sect leader, Tong Huan seems to be enjoying it.

Furthermore, the sect leader receives 6,000 sect contribution points annually, which can be accumulated to exchange for the necessary Pure Spirit Jade Marrow.

"Yes, if I haven't broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage within ten years, I'll try my luck again with the help of pills."

With Gu Xisheng as a precedent, few people gossiped when Tong Huan, with his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, became the sect leader.

Of course, this is also thanks to him having a good teacher.

However, when various sects come to visit, he, as the sect leader, is usually responsible for receiving the Core Formation Realm cultivators.

Although they were of equal status, their cultivation levels were far apart, and they had to wear secret treasures during the conversation to avoid being affected by the aura of a Core Formation cultivator.

A Core Formation cultivator who specializes in mental magic can easily influence the emotions of a Foundation Establishment cultivator through words and aura without even having to take direct action.

Bai Zichen scanned the four disciples with the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror and found no major problems, except for Li Guizhen, whose Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian was damaged.

It's highly likely that he injured himself while practicing thunder magic and exploring alchemical theories because he didn't control his strength properly.

He gave Li Guizhen a couple of words of advice, telling him not to be too hasty and end up achieving nothing.

At his age, he still has plenty of room for trial and error. There's no use in rushing on the path to immortality; in the end, it all comes down to who goes the furthest.

Among the four disciples, Ma Ruoxi, the youngest, walked the most steadily. After reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, she did not rush to further improve her cultivation or force herself to study alchemy.

Instead, she devoted herself entirely to the way of the sword, and her Star Luo Sword Technique had reached a high level. It was impossible to tell that she had never even touched a flying sword before becoming an apprentice.

Moreover, she possesses a water-elemental root, which allows her to switch to cultivating the Core Formation Scroll of the Dragon Transformation Scripture after she forms her core.

"My usual guidance to you is limited. These twelve spells and three great supernatural powers each have their own strengths. Each of you should choose one to go back and practice."

Bai Zichen spread his hand, and fifteen jade slips stopped in front of the four disciples, allowing them to choose.

His major trump cards include the Five Crystal Glazed Body, which was cultivated with the help of a mysterious sacred body. There are no cultivation tricks or shortcuts. Anyone who is confident can go to the Transmission Hall to exchange for a body-refining technique and practice it.

The Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was mastered thanks to the essence of a sacred beast and the Spring and Autumn Cicada he accidentally encountered while trying to save Su Li, which allowed him to grasp a smattering of the Great Dao of Time.

Even if one wanted to teach it, one would need to break the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword into three parts to attempt to learn it, one would need to be at least at the Core Formation stage.

Even back then, not every cultivator in the Fish-Dragon Sect could achieve the Core Formation stage; it was still very difficult.

Moreover, this supreme divine power is related to the essence and blood of sacred beasts, and it is one of the things he must not reveal.

The skills of flying swords can be fully taught, and as long as you keep up with the content of the True Explanation of Swordsmanship, you can also learn them.

He could break down each sword technique, including the Wuzhen Sword Art, and teach them separately.

However, Bai Zichen's Enlightenment Sword Technique was generated directly in his sea of ​​consciousness by the inheritance stone tablet, making it more direct to comprehend and learn, and much faster than being taught by others.

Moreover, from the very beginning, his goal was to first comprehend the entire sword manual and master the sword mind.

He only scratched the surface of many sword techniques before immediately moving on to the next one.

Even if he personally taught his disciples, he couldn't achieve this.

Another point is that even if Ma Ruoxi's talent in swordsmanship is no less than Bai Zichen's or even far surpasses his, her final swordsmanship skills will still be far inferior.

The existence of the Supreme Pure Sword Box fundamentally distinguishes Bai Zichen from all other sword cultivators in the world.

The phenomenon of sword cultivators being unable to sustain their sword-wielding true essence, which they fear most, is simply impossible for him.

With his Core Formation cultivation, he could easily wield a fourth-tier flying sword, even for long distances, abandoning his flying magic weapon.

The difference in flight speed between the two is too great; the only advantage of the flying artifact is that it is more comfortable to sit in.

Therefore, the magical techniques and supernatural abilities he used were all inherited from the Chi Ming lineage of the Fish Dragon Sect.

Bai Zichen himself didn't choose any of these spells that he was willing to spend time learning, but they were all excellent spells for Foundation Establishment cultivators and even Core Formation cultivators.

The Chiming lineage has produced a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and if listed separately, it can be compared to the elite inheritances of many Core Formation level sects.

Tong Huan took away the Great Swamp Sword Qi and refined several pure sword energies in his dantian.

When used against an enemy, it can unleash a destructive power one level higher than one's own cultivation level.

After Tong Huan, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, successfully cultivated, a single Great Swamp Sword Qi was equivalent to a casual strike from a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Depending on the depth of cultivation, one can condense three to seven sword energies.

When Bai Zichen first saw it, he thought it was an extremely crude version of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, with each sword aura taking several years to condense.

The advantage is that once the supernatural power is cultivated, the Great Swamp Sword Qi can be condensed on its own without delaying normal cultivation.

Bai Zichen never considered cultivators of the same realm as true opponents. A divine ability that takes years to acquire the casual killing power of a cultivator of the next level naturally held no appeal for him.

However, the Great Swamp Sword Qi is extremely easy to learn, and it should be like the Crimson Bright Nirvana Technique, a simplified version of a divine power developed by the founder of the Crimson Bright lineage.

It can only be said that the founder of the Chiming lineage was very pragmatic and fully considered the possibility that his descendants might lack talent. From the fundamental techniques to the magical abilities, everything was a quick and easy version.

After careful selection, Li Guizhen chose a method that would allow him to achieve Nirvana and Indestructibility.

He initially practiced the Nine Revolutions Condensing Evil Scripture, but as his mastery of thunder magic increased, he began to clash with the evil energy.

There have even been instances where divine lightning, in its operation, shattered the malevolent energy it had condensed.

He could only go back to studying the Five Crystal Body, but it took him a long time to barely get to the first level of the Five Crystal Body. Knowing that he didn't have the talent, he had already given up.

This is why he easily injures himself when practicing thunder magic; thunder magic is domineering and he lacks a matching, strong physique to support it.

Nirvana Indestructible Body is a body-refining technique of the Crimson Bright lineage. After practicing it, the physical body will not be strengthened in any way, but the self-healing ability will be greatly enhanced.

Even a small achievement can lead to the regeneration of severed limbs and the healing of bone.

After achieving mastery, even if one's head is severed and one's heart is removed, one can still survive.

At the peak of perfection, one can even lock in one's breath, allowing one to live for another hundred days regardless of the severity of the injury.

However, all the supernatural abilities of this body-refining technique can only be activated once a month, making its use quite restrictive.

Its advantages also align with the traditions of the Chiming lineage. It is said that it takes thirty years to achieve minor success, sixty years to achieve major success, and a hundred years to achieve perfection, without requiring high talent in body refinement.

Li Guizhen suffered a setback with the Five Crystal Glass Body, but became interested in the description of the Nirvana Indestructible Body and chose it with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Huo Feiyan chose the Xuanmen Qi Gathering Method, which allows her to retain the gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a sealed space during cultivation.

Over time, the efficiency of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be slightly faster.

However, it is only useful when the cultivation spiritual ground is of a low grade. For example, in a third-grade top-grade spiritual ground, the spiritual energy in the air is so dense that it is almost visible.

The Xuanmen method of gathering Qi would then be ineffective.

Judging from the spells Huo Feiyan chose, she still had expectations for the Great Dao of cultivation and did not give up pursuing it just because she was far behind her junior sister.

Ma Ruoxi was the last to step forward and, without much thought, took off a jade slip from in front of her.

Bai Zichen glanced at it and saw that it was the Light Piercing Cloud Technique, a third-order divine speed spell.

Its advantages are that it is easy to learn and consumes little energy, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators can activate and use it.

However, its flight speed and shape changes are no match for various escape techniques, barely providing a few means of escaping and saving its life.

"After you go back, cultivate diligently. The appearance of the ancient demon inheritance is just the beginning. The Central Region will eventually turn its attention to the Northern Region. This matter has only accelerated this process... Your future competitors will most likely be the true disciples of the super sects in the Central Region. Don't fall too far behind."

Bai Zichen put away the remaining jade slips, gave some instructions, and then dismissed his disciples.

Senior Brother Ge Cang has made it clear that once the matter of Zengguang Immortal City is settled, he will travel to the Central Region to seek opportunities for cultivation techniques.

He was the same; the time he could stay in the sect for an extended period was getting shorter and shorter.

If Qingfeng Sect wants to gain a foothold in the upcoming upheavals, it will be crucial that the next batch of disciples can grow up quickly.

The following day, another monk in black robes came to the courtyard to pay his respects.

"You've already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment? That's pretty fast!"

Bai Zichen glanced at the cultivators who were kneeling and bowing below, and was surprised to find that the first person in the sect to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment was Lu Song, an old Foundation Establishment cultivator who was considered to have exhausted his potential.

"Thanks to Uncle Bai's care, I was able to accumulate enough sect contributions on Thunder Cliff, and thus, with the help of pills, I was able to cultivate to this level."

Since Lu Song left the Law Enforcement Hall and moved to Thunder Cliff, he has received even more sect contributions than before, thanks to Bai Zichen's instructions to take care of him.

During the campaign against Hejian County, he also gained a large amount of merit, enough to exchange for enough pills.
