Born with immortal seed

Chapter 399 News of the Five-Crystal Divine Iron

Bai Zichen remained silent. The Great Dao is ruthless, and the will of Heaven is unfathomable.

For hundreds of years, Fang Tiansheng has stood at the very top of the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom, leading the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to its peak.

The Myriad Beasts Sect once became the second most powerful sect after the Holy Lotus Sect, and single-handedly dominated the war between the righteous and demonic paths. The sect also controlled a secret realm that stably produced Pure Spirit Jade Marrow, so it could be said that the path of reforming and restoring the sect was bright.

All the variables stemmed from the trip to Burial Valley.

From the moment his physical body was damaged and he needed special elixirs, he embarked on a path of no return, with no chance to turn back.

This should serve as a warning to myself, so that I don't repeat the same mistake.

“I originally intended to invite True Lord Ge, but since he is in seclusion, it is the same to talk to Fellow Daoist Bai… When we talked back then, I learned that your Qingfeng Sect has a top-tier cultivation technique that requires the use of Five Crystal Divine Iron and Glazed Fire Jade. Now, I happen to have the whereabouts of one of the fifth-tier spiritual materials.”

Fang Tiansheng stroked the soft, inelastic skin of the Gold-Devouring Earth Dragon Beast, secretly sighing that if he could obtain the Five-Crystal Divine Iron, his natal spirit beast's advancement might be 20% faster.

Under the current circumstances, there's no need to expect Du Heng to fulfill his promise and hand over the Five Crystal Divine Iron.

"Senior Fang, are you referring to the Five-Crystal Divine Iron or the Glazed Fire Jade?"

Bai Zichen's eyes twitched; he hadn't expected the other party to bring this up.

When Ge Cang's Five Crystal Glazed Body was still intact in his early years, he was only two pieces of fifth-grade spiritual material needed to refine together before reaching the final level. It is possible that he inquired about the two spiritual materials from others.

"I already know the exact location of the Five Crystal Divine Iron; it's in the Northern Region... I'm willing to tell you, young friend Bai, in exchange for a promise from you."

Fang Tiansheng suddenly raised his head. His hair and beard were white, his skin was wrinkled, and there was a sharp, lightning-like glint in his eyes as he opened and closed them, reminding people that he was once a powerful warrior who stood at the very top of the Core Formation Realm in Liang Kingdom.

"Please tell me what the promise is, senior. I am not strong enough to accept it."

Bai Zichen frowned slightly. The Five Crystal Divine Iron was good. As long as he had it, he could take the opportunity to complete the final layer of the Five Crystal Glazed Body.

Judging from the past, each level of this body-refining technique represents a qualitative leap.

For a Nascent Soul True Monarch, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation is a significant boost to combat power.

If the Five Crystal Divine Iron could be exchanged for more spirit stones or other treasures, he would agree without hesitation.

But a promise, whether big or small, should not be made lightly.

"I will bear the wrath of the Blood God myself. The sect has already sent dozens of disciples to various places... It would be best if the Myriad Beasts Sect could overcome the difficulties. There is no need to mention anything else. If misfortune truly befalls us, I only ask that you, young friend Bai, take care of the Myriad Beasts Sect disciples who are hiding in various places in the future, so that they can carry on the sect's legacy."

Fang Tiansheng's attitude was humble, like that of an ordinary old man.

"Once this matter is settled, Blood God Child cannot stay in Liang Kingdom for long. I fear that someone might take advantage of his misfortune and hunt down the surviving disciples for the treasures accumulated by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect over the years. A group of children carrying a large sum of money, walking in the cultivation world surrounded by hungry wolves, how could they not attract attention?"

"Just that?"

Bai Zichen pressed for an answer, revealing that the other party's requirements were very low.

There's no need for him to clash with the Blood God Child; all he needs to do is protect the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect who have disguised themselves and are hiding in various places in the future, and ensure the continuation of the lineage.

For him, it was something with almost no risk and no difficulty.

It doesn't match the value of the Five Crystal Divine Iron, not to mention that Fang Tiansheng knew this spiritual material was very important to the cultivators of the Qingfeng Sect.

"That's all!"

Fang Tiansheng's smile was awkward as he spoke with difficulty.

“What hope can a dying man have? I only ask that the sect that the ancestors entrusted to me will not be cut off... As a sinner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I have caused so many junior brothers to die with me. I will have no face to meet the ancestors in the underworld.”

"Young friend Bai has a bright future. In the future, a single word from him could secure a place for the Myriad Beasts Sect in the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom. This is my only wish."

“Alright, I agree… I will definitely take care of the scattered disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect from now on, and if there is an opportunity, I will support them in rebuilding the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”

Bai Zichen thought it over and nodded in agreement.

This is not bad for him; he is giving up a future promise and getting immediate benefits in return.

"This jade slip contains all the information about the Five Crystal Divine Iron. Young friend Bai, please keep it safe... How to obtain it is all written inside."

Fang Tiansheng tossed out a jade slip, clearly having made preparations beforehand.

Bai Zichen took the jade slip, glanced at it, nodded slightly, and cupped his hands to take his leave: "If there is nothing else, this junior will take his leave first, as I still need to go to Zengguang Immortal City."

"Go now, and I hope that young friend Bai will remember what you said today and help the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect find a way to survive."

Fang Tiansheng stared at the direction the sword light had gone, remaining motionless for a long time. Suddenly, a slender female cultivator appeared behind him.

"As expected, Senior Brother Fire Crow was well-prepared. He took several sacrificial treasures from the main hall and thirty newly put up Qingling Jade Marrow, intending to leave the sect under the pretext of inspecting the Ten Thousand Beasts Workshop."

The woman had a serene and elegant appearance, with a graceful demeanor like a lotus emerging from water. A small snake coiled down her shoulder to her wrist.

"I joined forces with several senior brothers to kill it, and used a secret technique to break the spirit beast contract, thus saving its natal spirit beast, the Dinghuo Divine Crow."

A head with a sallow complexion and small eyes was presented by a pair of delicate hands. It was covered in blood, and the eyes of the head were filled with unmistakable terror.

"Throw him into the Beast Valley, I don't want to see him again..."

Fang Tiansheng waved his hand, his strong body hunching over even more, making his back bend even more.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators were able to escape in different directions, and the Blood God Child might not even notice them yet.

But a Core Formation True Person is too conspicuous; losing even one would be too obvious. How could he dare to treat Blood God Child like a fool?

The Blood Sea Sect's infamous reputation was known even outside the Southern Region.

They readily slaughter entire families and turn enemy cultivators into blood beasts to be enslaved and driven around.

They haven't made a move against the Myriad Beasts Sect yet; they're just focusing their attention on Zengguang Immortal City and can't spare any more resources.

However, some time ago, blood shadows were already spotted around the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, appearing elusive and eerie.

He knew in his heart that he had been targeted by the Blood God Child.

If True Man Fire Crow were to flee at this moment, and anger the Blood God Child, it would extinguish the last hope for the survival of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

“Red Lotus, what a pity for you… With your talent, you should have had the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.”

Fang Tiansheng's eyes showed regret, as if the image of his stubborn junior brother had reappeared before his eyes.

"It is I who have failed you two, master and disciple. It is I, Fang Tiansheng, who am useless and unable to protect the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Sect..."

“Honglian was an orphan that Master picked up from the beast herd. She grew up on this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Every blade of grass and every tree on Red Sun Peak bears the mark of my heart and soul. Even in death, Master wanted to remain a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and so do I. Disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect are fearless in the face of death; majestic mountains and great rivers are all worthy of burying our bones…”

Honglian spoke with clear eyes and an open heart.
