Born with immortal seed

Chapter 409 Ancient Tribulation Transcending Method
“This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Burial Immortal Valley. Even if someone has noticed the movement of the River of Time, it would be impossible for them to search here in such a short time.”

Bai Zichen flew on his sword into the Northern Yuan territory and landed on a random desolate mountain.

It was a place with barren spiritual energy, hard yellow sand, and barely any vegetation. It was a place that even rogue cultivators wouldn't even look at.

Jian Guang carved out a stone chamber on the back of the mountain as a temporary foothold.

He left in a hurry, partly because he was worried about the ancient demon that had disappeared in the Burial Immortal Valley, and partly because he was afraid that the commotion caused by the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword would attract other cultivators.

"Even if it's weakened by the Demon Refining Array, the ancient demon's essence is still beyond the limits of this realm. It's impossible for Du Heng to refine it..."

If Du Heng truly possessed the ability to accomplish what so many ancient powerful beings could not, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated by the two Great True Monarchs of Heavenly Punishment Peak.

Therefore, Bai Zichen did not want to stay in the Burial Immortal Valley for even a moment longer.

He had a feeling that the ancient demon would burst out of the ground and pounce on him at any moment.

The second time he activated the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, compared to the first time he fought against the Nine Lotus True Monarch, he wielded the sword more freely this time, and his understanding of the power of time became more profound.

It's not that the power of the Sword of Time has increased much, but rather that the mastery of controlling the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword has reached a new level.

Because the opponent was only dealing with a rather special late-stage Core Formation cultivator, the River of Time appeared briefly and then dissipated, simultaneously striking the past and future of that Du clan cultivator.

However, the Great Way of Time is not as sensitive as the true meaning of other Great Ways.

As long as there are other Nascent Soul True Monarchs within a radius of several hundred miles, they will immediately realize that a cultivator is using the power of time.

Unlike other great paths, which may be the power of heaven and earth, or the mighty force of nature.

He didn't know how the true meaning of the Great Dao he had comprehended was described in the intelligence reports of those Nascent Soul Grandmasters.

However, with Shi Chengdong and Suihan Zhenjun as witnesses, this matter should not be a secret, and those Nascent Soul Grandmasters should know more or less about it.

It was unexpected that Bai Zichen's sword strike came from the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, rather than from his own understanding of the true meaning of time.

"Regardless, I'll reach the Nascent Soul stage first. But I still feel a vague sense of dread. Could it be that someone is plotting something against me..."

Bai Zichen thought about Yuan Zhenjun's attitude towards him from Tianfa Peak, and a cloud of doubt drifted through his mind.

Anyway, once he gets his hands on the Five Crystal Divine Iron, as long as he refines the Five Crystal Glazed Body, even if the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword is hidden and nurtured, he will still be able to fight against a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

He decided to conceal his whereabouts, keep a low profile, and travel for a while in the boundless sea of ​​suffering.

After reaching the peak of Core Formation, one can then attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, the sky's the limit, and there will be no need to worry about open or covert attacks.

Having figured out his future direction, Bai Zichen felt relieved, the gloom dispelled, and he finally had time to examine the few items left behind by the Du clan cultivator.

"This is far too poor. If Du Heng places his hopes for the revival of the Du family on this boy, how come he only gave him this little bit..."

Only a piece of animal hide, a jade slip, and a jade bottle were brought forth from the flash of the sword.

He was greatly disappointed that there were no storage facilities available.

"Could it be that the storage bag was placed elsewhere in Burial Immortal Valley, and only a few of the most important items were carried with him?"

This Core Formation cultivator from the Du clan had clearly lived in the Burial Immortal Valley for some time, using its unique environment to cultivate the True Demon Saint Body.

His familiarity with the Burial Immortal Valley was certainly unmatched by other cultivators, and it's highly likely that he hid the storage bag in a secret place.

They left in a hurry and didn't have enough time to search for the Burial Immortal Valley, so they might have missed out on several top-grade spirit stones.

"The Six Desires True Demonic Scripture, Blood Refining of Living Beings, Blood Sacrifice to the World... True Demonic Holy Body, Thirty-Six Supernatural Powers, Seventy-Two Transformations..."

This animal hide is clearly no ordinary object; you can feel a faint pressure emanating from it as soon as you hold it in your hand.

Only a fourth-order great demon could bear the inheritance of this cultivation technique, with its strange characters and cultivation diagrams.

Even though Bai Zichen couldn't understand a single word, the content appeared in his mind on its own as his gaze swept over it.

Even the true essence within his body unconsciously began to circulate along the cultivation path of the Six Desires True Demon Bible, and he felt as if his blood was about to burn.

Snapped!
Bai Zichen quickly closed the animal hide, and all the flying swords in his dantian vibrated simultaneously, their clear sword cries bringing him back to his senses.

"What an evil cultivation technique! No wonder the Moral Sect treats those who inherit the demonic realm with absolute ruthlessness, leaving no room for negotiation..."

Those cultivators with weak willpower will inevitably succumb to the Six Desires True Demon Bible the moment they see it, becoming hopelessly ensnared in it.

Bai Zichen was able to resist not only because of his clear sword heart, but also because he firmly believed that he could reach the Nascent Soul stage on his own without having to switch to the demonic path.

This level of confidence is something that no one else in the entire cultivation world could possess.

Even the Great True Lord of Propagating the Dharma may not have as much confidence as he does.

This was his greatest asset in rejecting the Six Desires True Demon Bible. In return, a cultivator who had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years, watching his lifespan decrease year by year, would find it difficult to resist this cultivation method, no matter how strong his will or perseverance.

Judging from the contents on the animal skin, the Six Desires True Demon Bible has no difficulty in cultivation whatsoever.

Once transformed into a True Demonic Body, one will be regarded as a member of the Demon Realm.

Then, by refining the essence of otherworldly beings with blood, one can directly devour their vital essence, and the speed of cultivation improvement can be described as changing rapidly, one step a day.

The concepts of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and breaking through the bottleneck of one's cultivation realm simply do not exist before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

With such temptations before them, even knowing that cultivating the Six Desires True Demon Bible would make them an enemy of the cultivation world, hated by both gods and men, how many could resist?

The only hurdle is to transform oneself into a true demonic holy body.

Without a powerful being at the level of a Demon Lord to directly infuse one's body and alter one's physique, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate a True Demon Saint Body, which would be the most top-tier Saint Body even in the Demon Realm.

"I wonder how Du Heng and that Core Formation cultivator achieved the True Demon Saint Body. It must be related to the ancient demons..."

Bai Zichen thought about it for a while, then found a box and put the animal hide away.

This technique was of no use to him, and it had no value for him whatsoever.

He had the idea of ​​cultivating each of those thirty-six supernatural powers and seventy-two transformations.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite for cultivation is to possess the True Demon Saint Body, which is naturally out of his reach.

"I'll come back to it after I reach the Nascent Soul stage. Maybe then I'll be able to resist the cultivation technique and calm down to study it properly..."

Bai Zichen picked up the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"The Essential Scripture for Eliminating Calamities and Exorcising Demons from the Cave of Mystery, excellent, truly excellent!"

This jade slip contains a record of an ancient method, which turns out to be a secret technique for dispelling inner demons.

The fact that the Du family was able to produce Nascent Soul True Monarchs is inextricably linked to this Dongxuan Elimination and Demon Extermination Scripture.

"Find a place where water vapor is abundant and yin winds converge, and wait until the morning sun rises to collect that wisp of purple energy. But only the wisp of purple energy collected on the Double Ninth Festival each year will be effective. Collect a total of thirty-six wisps, and then refine them according to the ancient method, and they will be transformed into a demon-repelling purple light... sweeping away external demons and preventing inner demons from arising. With this demon-repelling purple light, you can increase your chances of overcoming the tribulation of inner demons by thirty percent."

It was precisely by relying on this ancient method that the Du family of Zengguang were able to easily overcome the inner demon hurdle when their own Core Formation cultivators were undergoing tribulations, only needing to consider the lightning tribulation.

"This method is only a bit time-consuming, but not very difficult to cultivate. Even the locations for collecting purple energy are marked at the end... In this way, I will have the Demon-Slaying Purple Light for my inner demon tribulation and the Acquired Thunder God Pearl for my heavenly thunder tribulation. As long as I cultivate to the point of perfect Core Formation, I can immediately begin to break through the core and transform into an infant!"

Bai Zichen read the Dongxuan Disaster Relief and Demon Extermination Scripture several times and laughed twice.

I originally felt that I hadn't gained enough from this trip to Zengguang Immortal City, but with this ancient method in hand, it would be enough to not get any other treasures.

Not only can it be used by oneself, but it can also become a secret technique of the Qingfeng Sect.

In the future, sect disciples will have the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique to break through to Core Formation, and the Cave Profound Elimination and Demon Extermination Scripture to shatter Core and transform into Nascent Soul.

Compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, they may lack some foundation, but they certainly won't lag behind others in breaking through major realms.

Many cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage give up on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage because they simply don't have enough remaining lifespan to acquire two secret treasures to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

If we force our way in, we will only face certain death; it would be better to spend the last hundred years in peace.

However, with the Dongxuan Elimination and Demon Extermination Manual, those older cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage might have a different option.

Bai Zichen didn't have high hopes for the last jade bottle, but when he opened the stopper, he was surprised to find that it had as many as twelve restrictions.

He reached out and touched the mouth of the bottle, breaking all the restrictions, and poured out a crimson elixir the size of a longan from the jade bottle.

The crimson elixir had six golden patterns on its body, which were constantly shifting and changing. The intense heat emanating from it caused the wild grass outside the stone chamber to wither.

"The Six-Earth Divine Essence Pill of the Sun!"

The moment the restriction was broken, information about the elixir, including its purpose, was transmitted to Bai Zichen's mind.

It seems that one of the twelve restrictions was not meant to block spiritual energy or isolate insects, but rather to inform later generations about the elixir.

He had heard about this top-grade fourth-tier elixir from Zhu Zhenren of the Danxia Sect long ago. It was said that the recipe had been lost and no one in the cultivation world could refine it anymore.

Any cultivator who has fallen into demonic possession or been poisoned by the remnants of demonic arts can be cured by taking this elixir.

The Six Desires True Demon Scripture of the Du Family Core Formation True Person was probably prepared by Du Heng because he was worried that his descendants would not have enough cultivation and would lose their self-control and intelligence.

It can only be said that Zengguang Immortal City gathers the wealth of the four kingdoms and holds the Grand Ceremony of Ten Thousand Immortals, so who knows how many good things it holds.

Unfortunately, they all went to Heavenly Punishment Peak.

However, considering that Du Heng was able to hide a junior with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage hundreds of years ago, keeping him hidden as a backup plan, it's clear that...

It is highly likely that some of the treasures of the immortal city were moved and hidden in secret places long ago.

"With this elixir, Master Qingmu's hidden injuries can finally be cured, and he will no longer have to suffer from the torment of the demonic fire poison every day!"

Bai Zichen quickly and carefully put away the Six-Element Divine Essence Pill of the Sun. Losing this top-grade fourth-rank spiritual pill, he really didn't know where to find another one.
