Born with immortal seed

Chapter 420 The Second Fourth-Order Flying Sword

"To be able to resist the temptations of the overseas immortal abode, could it be that he has another opportunity to transform into a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Kong's eldest brother watched the receding sword light and sighed, then a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

"I remember that this Uncle Li is not much younger than Master. Even if he has taken a lot of longevity pills, he should be old enough to die peacefully in his old age... Yet he is still in no hurry to open the overseas immortal abode. Isn't he afraid that he will die suddenly and cause the immortal abode to sink to the bottom of the sea forever?"

"Besides the essence blood of sacred beasts, the most precious treasure of the Xuanming lineage is the Azure King Pharmacist Pill. He must have taken one with him when he left Chilong Island. He must have taken that elixir, along with other longevity pills, so that his lifespan far exceeds that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, allowing him to rest easy and proceed at his own pace."

Chen Ze put away the bronze axe and looked down into the underwater palace with a deep expression.

His departure from the Water Mansion, almost like a flight from heaven, dealt a severe blow to his pride.

They didn't even put up a basic resistance, simply acknowledging that the being that crawled out of the underworld coffin was someone they couldn't handle.

In conjunction with Old Man Shen's earlier words, if the person lying in the coffin is Wu Sanzang, the sudden resurrection of a cultivator who died tens of thousands of years ago is indeed chilling to think about.

"Among all life-extending pills in the cultivation world, the Azure King Pharmacist Pill ranks among the top three! One pill can extend one's life by one hundred and eighty years!"

In the past, on Chilong Island, Chen Ze's status was similar to that of a lineage leader, and he naturally knew more secrets than the Kong brothers.

One hundred and eighty years is a considerable period of time, even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Such an extra period of lifespan is enough to change a cultivator's fate.

If one is stuck in a bottleneck and silently sits in meditation until death, there is a high chance of making a breakthrough and reaching the next level.

Every time the Azure King's Medicine Master Pill appears in the world, it triggers a frenzy of competition in the cultivation world, especially among those old Nascent Soul cultivators who are on their deathbeds.

The allure of extending their lives by 180 years is enough to make them willingly empty their entire fortune.

"Senior brothers, let's go and wipe out the Shen family now. Their family's accumulated wealth over generations can be used to help them restore their sect in the future... I'll visit the disciples of various hidden lineages so that when we return to the Myriad Star Islands, every additional cultivator will be a greater force!"

Chen Ze quickly shook off his negative emotions and threw himself back into the great cause of restoring the Fish-Dragon Sect.

"Then I will return to my cave in Rotten Axe Mountain to await Uncle Li's arrival... Judging from his strength, he has most likely already mastered the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword. If we join forces, reclaiming the Myriad Star Islands will be a piece of cake!"

"The Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, the number one supreme divine power in the sect and even the outer sea! I wonder if we will have the possibility of learning it in the future..."

The Kong brothers were filled with longing, having heard about this supernatural power from their master countless times since childhood.

Unfortunately, the five main lineages fled in different directions, and the essence blood of the sacred beast was in the hands of the Xuanming lineage. Although the successors of the other four lineages possessed the complete three secret techniques and knew the cultivation methods, they could not even attempt to begin because the Yimu Qingshen Technique had not undergone any mutation.

“Uncle Li is stronger than me and has the essence of a sacred beast in his possession. He should continue to support the Kongming lineage as the master of the Fish and Dragon Sect. When the sect is rebuilt on Chilong Island in the future, he will be the restorer of the Fish and Dragon Sect. He should continue the old rules and bestow the aura of a sacred beast upon the core disciples of each lineage.”

Chen Ze spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, clearly believing it genuinely, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.

……

Bai Zichen flew a hundred miles away, his sword light falling, and he changed into a Taoist robe, returning to the stone platform in the guise of Su Wuming.

"I wonder if Chen Ze will guess the relationship between my two identities. The probability of two sword masters appearing in Ono Sawa at the same time is not high... But even if he has some doubts, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my identity token has been verified, and I have the Xuanming lineage's cultivation techniques and even the blood essence of the sacred beast. Who can say that I am not the main lineage's successor!"

They landed silently on the stone platform; the events of this nighttime journey far exceeded their expectations.

"Sleep eternally in life, live forever after death... The White Bone Immortal said that the Underworld Coffin is a huge vortex. Once you step into it, there is no way to get out."

Those who hope to be reborn and rebuild their lives in the underworld coffin will retain a trace of their divine consciousness due to the special nature of the coffin.

When the divine thoughts of powerful beings mingled together, clashing and mixing, they formed an indescribable monster, like a new life born from the coffins of the underworld.

When a suitable body enters the coffin, the divine senses will select whether it is a suitable vessel for descent into the world.

The White Bone Immortal stated directly in his notes that the key reason he was able to remain conscious and leave the Netherworld Coffin was that he was neither too strong nor too weak.

Those powerful divine thoughts that had been wandering for tens of thousands of years looked down on this weak body and let him go.

Moreover, he was much stronger than the Core Formation True Person in the history of the Ghost Spirit Sect, which enabled him to resist the invasion of the Netherworld Qi in the coffin and transform into the White Bone True Demon Body.

Of course, he eventually died at the hands of Ge Cang.

"Was it a Core Formation cultivator brought by Old Man Shen placed in a Netherworld coffin, or was it a physical body already prepared in the Water Palace that awakened?"

A cultivator who has been resurrected from the underworld may not necessarily be very strong, but to deal with him would definitely require using all your trump cards, and you can no longer maintain the persona of 'Li Hansi'.

"Anyway, I'll be staying in Onozawa for another twenty years. Once that monster appears from the water palace, I'll go and kill it. It's not good to let it wreak havoc on the land."

The monster reborn from the coffin in the underworld is at least as powerful as the White Bone Immortal, and would be unstoppable in the Great Wilderness.

If left unchecked, the so-called Second Gate and Third Family could be completely wiped out, turning the entire Great Wilderness Marsh into a dead zone.

"In comparison, the Immortal Abode in the outer sea is not as important as Nascent Soul... Venturing millions of miles into the outer sea would be like handing myself over to the Dragon Lord. Once I achieve Nascent Soul and have enough power to protect myself, I can explore the Immortal Abode and deal with any unexpected events that may occur."

To open the Immortal Abode, all five main branches are indispensable. There's no need to worry about other Fish Dragon Sect cultivators abandoning him to retrieve the treasures first.

As dawn broke, Bai Zichen closed his eyes and began his first refining of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that day.

In the days that followed, the Great Swamp became quite chaotic, with frequent scenes of cultivators chasing and killing each other, and corpses being washed away by the water.

On the two most severe days, large areas of the water were dyed red, attracting dense schools of fish.

The young cultivator from the Huang family, whom I met when I first arrived in the Great Wilderness Marsh, took the initiative to visit me. Only then did I learn that the Shen family of Beihe had been invaded by several mysterious cultivators who killed several Foundation Establishment cultivators and looted the family's treasury.

The fact that Shen Moqun, the head of the Shen family, had not appeared led everyone to suspect that this Core Formation cultivator had already perished.

Gradually, independent cultivators organized themselves and began to plunder the Shen family, triggering a series of battles.

Huang Tingguang successfully broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining and received special training from his family.

Bai Zichen told him that if anything major happened in the Great Wilderness, he could come and inform them; otherwise, he didn't need to bother him with trivial matters.

In return, he corrected Huang Tingguang's cultivation method.

This basic Qi refining technique is far from exquisite. There are three obvious errors in the transfer of magical power, which will waste 30% of the refined spiritual energy.

Bai Zichen only gave a little guidance, but Huang Tingguang was overjoyed and realized that he had met a true master.

After kowtowing repeatedly, he respectfully withdrew.

The conflict gradually subsided, reportedly due to the intervention of the Zhang family of Yinchuan, who decisively killed more than ten cultivators who had undergone tribulation, thus deterring the restless rogue cultivators.

They also allocated 70% of the spiritual lands, fishing grounds, mines, and other resources owned by the Shen family of Beihe, leaving only the land that an ordinary Foundation Establishment family should have.

Several cultivation families in the surrounding area benefited from the outcome, and the Shen family also accepted the result, thus bringing the matter to a close.

Five more years passed peacefully on the stone platform, except for a second-tier python that had intruded and a group of rogue cultivators who were determined to move forward.

The former became a pot of snake stew, while the latter, whether under someone's instruction or for some other reason, insisted on getting close to the water's eye.

The warning was useless. After stepping within a hundred feet, a flash of sword light swept around, and all of them were decapitated.

At this point, news of a strange Core Formation cultivator arriving at the Water Eye Stone Platform spread quickly, and few cultivators appeared in the vicinity.

In the mechanical repetition year after year, Bai Zichen began to study beast taming and puppetry.

They soon discovered that the art of puppetry was no less complex than the art of weapon crafting, and even required a higher level of innovation.

It is another skill that requires a significant investment of time and must be treated as a primary profession to achieve great success.

Beast Taming focuses more on the affinity and communication with demonic beasts. A powerful beast tamer can not only form contracts with spirit beasts, but also understand the habits of various spirit beasts and raise spirit beast groups.

The best among them can even help spirit beasts advance in rank.

Bai Zichen didn't aspire to become an outstanding beast tamer; he simply wanted to learn more.

His spirit beast, Gun Gun, received top-tier treatment, but its growth rate showed no signs of being the offspring of a third-tier demon beast; in fact, its paternal lineage came from an even higher-tier bloodline.

However, spirit beasts with treasure-hunting abilities are rare, and Gun Gun has enormous potential. Once it becomes a third-tier spirit beast, it will be able to play a significant role.

"Something's wrong with the sword case?"

On this day, Bai Zichen was flipping through the jade slip of the Beast Taming Technique when he noticed that the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box in his dantian was vibrating rapidly. He quickly summoned it and flew it to his side.

When the sword case was opened, a major change was discovered inside.

Originally, there were thirty-six clusters of pure energy, corresponding to the positions of thirty-six flying swords, but now all the flying swords have gathered into one pile, including the Moon Spin Sword.

All the space and all the pure energy were reserved for a flying sword, the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword, which was gathering and roaring with thousands of lightning bolts.

Thirty-six clusters of pure energy rushed into the lightning sword, making the flying sword never still for a moment. The sword, with its convergence of lightning and thunder, took on various shapes.

Its power grew ever stronger, reaching a supreme and destructive aura emanating from the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword, causing the other flying swords to lower their proud hilts and huddle together.

"They are afraid, yes, they are afraid!"

Bai Zichen could sense the rudimentary emotions of the third-tier flying swords. As top-grade magic treasures, they all possessed some basic spirituality.

Moreover, the longer it stays in the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, the more it is nurtured by the pure and spiritual energy of the beginning of the Great Thousand World, the more its power and spirituality slowly increase.

Only the Moonlit Sword seemed to be overjoyed, expressing intense excitement.

"The Purple Star Thunder Sword is currently advancing to the fourth tier of flying swords!"

The strange phenomena finally made Bai Zichen realize what was happening.

This flying sword, which came from the secret realm of sword immortals in the upper realm, was originally a high-level sword that fell down and became a third-level sword embryo.

After obtaining it, I nurtured it in my dantian every day. More importantly, I activated the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box, which accelerated its recovery speed.

Finally, today, it has transformed back into a fourth-tier flying sword!
