Born with immortal seed

Chapter 443 Coming back late
Of the five major demonic sects of Liang Kingdom, the Blood Demon Sect no longer exists, and the Ghost Spirit Sect fell early on the road to the rise of the Green Maple Sect.

The Fragrance Sect and the Corpse-Driving Sect were also having a hard time, and each found a powerful leader, becoming vassal sects in essence.

With the arrival of the Heavenly Punishment Peak lineage of the Moral Sect in Zengguang Immortal City, the atmosphere in the Northern Region has become more dignified. At least, the large-scale massacres of mortals and the gathering of vengeful spirits and other cruel demonic methods have decreased significantly.

Even the Wusheng Sect dared not gamble on how deeply the Heavenly Punishment Summit would intervene in the Northern Region, or what actions it would take against behaviors that did not conform to the rules and regulations of the Moral Sect.

On the surface, it appears that Heavenly Punishment Peak has only one Nascent Soul True Monarch and one disciple of Yuan Mo's lineage in Zengguang Immortal City.

They are not on the same level as the two major sects of the Northern Region, the Faxiang Sect and the Wusheng Sect.

But behind it stood the behemoth that was the Moral Sect. Every Nascent Soul cultivator who participated in the siege of the Immortal City and the war that destroyed the Du Clan could not forget the astonishing strength displayed by the Great True Monarch of the Dharma.

Aside from the elusive and powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, these are the true giants who stand at the pinnacle of this realm.

From a certain perspective, the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator who needs to retreat from the world to prolong his life, and who will not leave his secluded cave unless absolutely necessary, is not as intimidating to the cultivation world as the Great True Lord of Propagation.

Unless it's an event that outrages both gods and men and affects the overall situation of the cultivation world, a Nascent Soul cultivator would not intervene.

But the Great True Lord of Propagation can appear in front of you anytime, anywhere, without restriction.

It has already taken the form of a grotto-heaven, and can suppress an entire sect with a single hand.

The Fragrance Cult has a million followers, all of whom are brothers and sisters. They are skilled in using talismans, water, and incantations.

Even without spiritual roots, they can use basic spells and talismans, and three to five people working together can rival a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

However, lacking spiritual roots and magical powers, each spell requires burning one's life essence as a price.

After using this technique a few times, one's vital energy will deplete, one's face will turn like an old man's, and one will not live past the age of thirty.

The sheer number of followers is like a costless resource; a single mission could result in the loss of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, but there's always an endless supply of ordinary people to replenish them.

The area inhabited by the Wenxiang sect is extremely sparsely populated.

Needless to say, the Corpse-Driving Sect often uses secret methods to create powerful corpses because they don't have enough bodies of cultivators who die normally.

For this sect, the number of corpses of high-level cultivators it possesses represents its immense resources.

Grave robbing and corpse stealing are common occurrences.

The major sects deeply despise the Corpse Driving Sect. No one wants to be unable to find peace even after death, and to be forced into slavery and being driven by others.

The actions of these two families would have been strictly prohibited by the Daode Sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they would have been expelled from the sect long ago, losing their qualification to continue preaching and accepting disciples.

Feeling fearful, he restrained his actions and became much more discreet.

However, the Hehuan Sect's status rose dramatically because Fairy Lianyu became a concubine of True Lord Suihan, and the Hehuan Bell, which could be condensed by the Heavenly Maiden Scripture, had a wonderful effect on Nascent Soul Transformation.

Due to a shortage of manpower, the Ice Soul Palace only took over the area surrounding the vast ice plains as its directly administered territory.

In even more distant areas, they were given the status of agents of the Hehuan Sect to govern on their behalf.

In addition, although the Hehuan Sect is famous for its dual cultivation techniques, it emphasizes mutual consent and does not engage in the plundering of cultivators.

At most, their behavior and conduct have become more open, and they are no longer afraid of being admonished and instructed by the Heavenly Punishment Peak. Their influence has expanded several times over.

In front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, a large group of cultivators surrounded them, their expressions hostile, and the atmosphere tense and ready to fight.

"Fairy Jiuru, what is your intention in surrounding our market with your men?!"

Honglian's face was as cold as frost. A green snake as thick as a water bucket crawled out of the spirit beast bag. It had a human head and a snake body, with a bewitching face with fiery red lips suddenly appearing in the snake's head position.

It was her natal spirit beast, a mid-grade third-tier beautiful snake.

"Sister Honglian, it's been a long time... I've come here this time because your group of spirit beasts broke into our Hehuan Sect's herb garden and trampled to death several thousand-year-old spirit herbs that Senior Sister Lianyu specially ordered to be planted."

Fairy Jiuru was a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. She wore a plain white dress and her long black hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Her face was delicate, her small mouth was slightly upturned, her nose was high and straight, and her eyes were innocent and charming with a hint of allure, like a bottomless spring that made people fall in love.

She stood barefoot on the muddy ground, yet her skin remained as smooth and lustrous as jade, without a speck of dirt on it.

He was flanked by two cultivators, one of whom was dashing, with a handsome face and a slender figure, holding a five-foot-long green sword.

The other man had a rugged face, a thick brown beard, and exuded a strong masculine aura.

The two had very different temperaments, but they had one thing in common: they were both Core Formation cultivators.

His gaze toward the girl was intense, his expression a mixture of excitement and infatuation.

This woman is the most outstanding disciple of the Hehuan Sect after Fairy Lianyu. She has cultivated her seductive arts to a level that surpasses even her master's. Even when she was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, she had already seduced a Core Formation cultivator into becoming her devoted follower.

After he achieved the Golden Core stage, he completely captivated the two somewhat renowned Golden Core cultivators, making them unable to escape the allure of this sea of ​​desire.

"These few spiritual herbs are to be offered as tribute to True Lord Suihan. If I can't produce them, how can I explain it to him?"

Fairy Jiuru revealed a shy and embarrassed expression at the right moment, her voice trembling slightly, causing the cultivators around her, regardless of gender, to show expressions of reluctance.

"Whose herb garden wouldn't have any restrictions set up, allowing ordinary spirit beasts to break in!"

Honglian suppressed her anger, knowing that the other party was being unreasonable, and casually found an excuse to cause trouble.

At its peak, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect occupied a vast territory and consumed a great deal of resources.

Now that the sect is weak, it has become an easy target in the eyes of others, and everyone wants to take advantage of it.

Over the years, the Hehuan Sect has used various pretexts to instigate dozens of battles against the Wanshou Sect, seizing two spirit stone veins and several mines.

This time, they clearly have a new target and have come up with a random excuse to cause trouble and provoke others.

The opposing team, consisting of three Core Formation cultivators, completely outmatched the Myriad Beasts Sect, which only had Honglian, in terms of high-level combat power.

They were very careful to only surround the area outside the market, and did not approach the foot of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, so as not to be directly encircled by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's protective formation.

If the Ten Thousand Beasts Market is surrounded for several days, no cultivator will dare to come and shop; the entrance will immediately become deserted.

This will be a further blow to the already beleaguered and unbearable blow to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, whose revenue from the market has become a crucial part of its operations.

"However, I am the kindest of all and cannot bear to see my elder sister in a difficult position... As long as your sect compensates me with fifty drops of Pure Spirit Jade Marrow, this matter will be over. Senior Sister Lianyu will provide an explanation to True Lord Suihan. If there is a shortage of Core Formation spiritual items, I have long admired Sister Honglian. If we could spend a night together and share the supreme joy of intertwining our lives and merging our spirits and bodies, I will bear this loss myself."

Fairy Jiuru's soft voice stirred the minds of the nearby cultivators.

Even the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in the market, those who were close by, looked on with infatuation, their souls captivated by this girl who possessed both innocent and alluring qualities.

"Too deceiving!"

Honglian blushed, patted her waist, and a crimson light flew out accompanied by a shrill scream.

The handsome cultivator drew his sword to block, producing a loud clang. The crimson light was obstructed and stopped, sparks flying everywhere.

Only now can one see that it is a crimson flying disc, inlaid with dozens of fiery crystals.

At the same time, the beautiful snake coiled around Honglian, and snake scales rapidly grew on half of her face, turning her pupils into vertical shapes.

He used his hand as a whip and swung it down forcefully, creating dozens of serpentine shadows that seemed to thunder in the air.

A burly man with a full beard stepped forward to block the way, opened his mouth and roared, the sound waves becoming tangible.

The illusory snake tail was shattered one by one, leaving only the last real whip, which was grabbed by the burly man's swollen hand and thrown away forcefully.

Honglian's face turned deathly pale, and her heart sank.

These two Core Formation cultivators were quite powerful; she wouldn't have much of an advantage even in a one-on-one situation, let alone fighting two against one.

And there was also the smiling Fairy Jiuru quietly watching her, enjoying the pleasure of seeing her two followers fight and kill for her.

After a few moves, Honglian was clearly at a disadvantage, and the signs of her body turning into a snake became more and more obvious.

He already had the intention to retreat, knowing that he would not get anything good today and could only return to the mountain gate, having already lost face.

"middle!"

Suddenly, Fairy Jiuru pulled out the wooden hairpin from her head, and her shiny black hair slid down to her waist.

The wooden hairpin transformed into a miniature green phoenix, flapping its wings and instantly appearing before Honglian.

It pecked a hole the size of a bowl into the protective magic item, and the two earrings flashed with a spiritual light, the two layers of defensive magic being pierced through as if they were made of paper.

With a flap of its wings, the Azure Phoenix transformed into a blue rope, intending to bind the Red Lotus.

Fairy Jiuru revealed a slight smile. If she could capture the only Core Formation True Person of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it would be a great achievement.

Regardless of other factors, the secret realm that consistently produces Pure Jade Essence for Core Formation and the third-tier spirit beasts raised in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain are the greatest wealth.

If they can accept the legacy of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Hehuan Sect's foundation will immediately rise to the top among sects at the Core Formation level, and their chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage will increase significantly.

call out!
A glint of light flashed by, and a ring of blood appeared on Fairy Jiuru's fair neck, with blood gushing out.

Despair filled her eyes as she realized that along with the blood, her true essence was also flowing away, leaving her without the strength to use magical treasures or activate secret techniques.

The golden elixir in the dantian seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter how much one called upon it, there was no response.

She weakly covered the bloodstains, but the blood continued to flow from between her fingers, blooming into vibrant flowers on her plain white dress.

In the blink of an eye, this pretty, innocent, and incredibly charming young girl perished, falling heavily to the ground.

The light emitted a short cry, turned, and left several afterimages in the air.

Both the burly man and the refined swordsman had bloody holes appearing on their necks, bubbling with blood.

The two men made hoarse sounds in their throats, but ultimately they couldn't utter a single word before their breaths ceased.

"I am deeply grateful for Senior He Fang's assistance..."

Honglian was still in shock; she had almost activated Fang Tiansheng's last trump card to save herself.

Unexpectedly, the situation took an unexpected turn, and the three Core Formation cultivators died instantly.

Such a seemingly effortless method suggests that the cultivator who made the move was either a Nascent Soul True Monarch or, equally rare, a Core Formation Perfection cultivator with unparalleled combat power.

Only someone like Bai Zichen of the Qingfeng Sect could so effortlessly kill three Core Formation cultivators in an instant.

A pale green-haired boy appeared from afar, his steps unhurried, as if measured with a ruler, each step a fixed distance.

In a few steps, he arrived at the front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion from afar. The floating light let out a joyful scream and landed on his shoulder.

The ethereal light that instantly killed the three was actually a palm-sized long-beaked dove with silver feathers.

The pale-faced youth reached out and touched the back of the Floating Light Dove, his voice low and hoarse as he slowly said, "I'm late."

Honglian looked at the familiar face before her, but his hair was completely silver, and his eyes held an indelible weariness. Her eyes reddened: "Uncle-Master Feng, you're back..."

“Master is dead, Uncle Fang is dead, Senior Sister Hu is dead… Everyone is dead, and only the most useless me is left to survive.”

Honglian's knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

She sensed an immense and powerful aura emanating from the boy and the floating dove before her—a terrifying pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

With the return of the elders of the sect and the attainment of the Nascent Soul True Monarch status, she now had someone to rely on, and the heavy burden of the sect no longer had to fall on her shoulders alone.

This was the first time he had cried since his fellow disciple, a Core Formation cultivator, committed suicide in front of Honglian, and he was the only one who survived and returned to the sect.

“I know you have suffered all these years… Once I have made another breakthrough in the Spirit Control Scripture, I will go and meet that Blood God Child. One day, I will avenge Senior Brother Fang and the others.”

Feng Moyun spoke indifferently, as if devoid of any emotion, but the slight trembling of his fingers holding the Floating Dove betrayed his thoughts.

"You take your men and clean up the mess. I'll inform all the sects that our sect will revert to its original name, the Myriad Beasts Sect, from this day forward... Anyone who took anything from our sect will have to return it all."

"We have not yet congratulated our uncle on ascending to the rank of True Lord and fulfilling the long-cherished wish of our ancestors."

Honglian composed herself and stood up from the ground.

With the sudden fall of the three Core Formation cultivators leading the way, and the arrival of powerful reinforcements from the Myriad Beasts Sect, how could the remaining disciples of the Joyful Union Sect dare to move?

At a command, they all discarded their ritual implements, obediently bound their hands and feet, and awaited their fate.

Feng Moyun nodded slightly, his body transforming into a wisp of light, instantly reaching dozens of miles away.

The speed of this escape light far exceeds the limit that a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage can achieve, clearly indicating that it is aided by the power of the Floating Light Dove.

"Beyond the boundless sea of ​​suffering, there lies such a world. Who could have imagined that the legendary desolate and bitter land would become like this..."

Although he had a fortuitous encounter in the legendary land, which allowed his natal spirit beast, Fu Guang Jiu, to become a fourth-tier great demon, and used this as an opportunity to overcome the heavenly tribulation and become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But the perilous journey left Feng Moyun still terrified when she recalled it.

Even if you have the memory, you might fail halfway through if you try again. I can't say you'll pass 100%.

"Once I've sorted things out at the sect and demonstrated my strength so that the various families in the Northern Region dare not underestimate me, I'll head to the Southern Region to fulfill the senior's request... Since I've agreed, even if I know it's a pointless trip and I'll have to go back on my word."

With this thought in mind, the Floating Light Dove merged directly into Feng Moyun's chest, increasing its speed by several times, to the point that even the eyes could hardly keep up with the advancing Floating Light.
