Born with immortal seed

Chapter 450 The Former Holy Land of the Demon Clan

Jinshan Boy's face hardened, and he untied the crimson gourd from his back and slapped it hard on the belly.

With a crisp strike, eighteen magical treasures were spat out from the crimson gourd, forming the eighteen kinds of weapons.

Golden light and colorful clouds surged in layers.

The metal weapons and magical artifacts formed a whirlwind, blocking the giant pillar of light and emitting a series of collision sounds.

Whichever magical artifact is knocked away, a burst of metallic energy will rush out from the crimson gourd to help the artifact return to the battlefield.

For a time, it was evenly matched with the burst of divine light from the Hundred-Eyed Centipede.

'He actually managed to forge the Five Metal Divine Weapon Gourd! This is a spiritual treasure inherited from the Taiyi Sect!'

The cultivator surnamed Tian could clearly see from the side that the crimson gourd had reached the level of a spiritual treasure, rather than the top-grade magic weapon he had previously thought it to be.

The crafting process of this magical artifact is not complicated, but it has extremely high requirements for the spiritual materials and subsequent processes.

First, the spirit treasure itself must be a complete fourth-order gourd, and its quality must be able to withstand the invasion of the five metal weapons' evil energy.

Then you need to infuse eighteen magical treasures into the furnace, preferably all at once, with each treasure connected to the others.

Only at this stage can the Five Metal Divine Weapon Gourd be considered to have taken initial shape, barely reaching the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

The final step is related to the refiner's cultivation technique: five kinds of metallic essence are collected from outer space and injected into the gourd.

After thirty-three years of nurturing and refining, that wisp of spirituality was cultivated and strengthened.

Thirty-three years after absorbing the five magical treasures, he underwent a spiritual transformation and ultimately became a low-grade spiritual treasure.

If even the slightest step in the process is missed, it will be impossible to succeed.

As the giant pillar of light swayed precariously, the eighteen weapons and magical artifacts were defeated even earlier, helplessly flying back to the crimson gourd.

puff!
Jinshan Boy suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The main body of the Five Metal Divine Weapon Gourd was the large crimson gourd in his hand. The five metal magic treasures inside had long been devoured by the gourd. The magic treasures that appeared were all manifestations of the five metal spirits and had no physical form.

As long as the crimson gourd remains intact, the worst outcome would be to collect the Five Elements Essence from beyond the heavens and refine the Five Elements Divine Weapon Gourd once more.

"Oh no! The Hundred-Eyed Centipede is about to attack! We can't stop it!"

Jinshan Tongzi was terrified and was about to retreat to avoid it, but he managed to save several Core Formation cultivators from his own sect.

A streak of blood-red light stretched across the sky, bringing everything in the Ten Absolute Valley to a standstill, even the giant pillar of light was frozen in place by an invisible force.

Immediately, it dispersed into primordial divine light and fell to the ground.

Between heaven and earth, black and white images seemed to flash by.

The sound of a heavy object collapsing came from the bottom of the valley, but after waiting for a long time, the Hundred-Eyed Centipede did not appear.

"The Heavenly Centipede is dead. You may clean up the battlefield and collect your spoils."

A faint voice drifted over, empty and desolate, yet it made the cultivator surnamed Tian straighten his expression and respectfully say, "I obey the decree of my senior brother, the sect leader."

"Has Blood God Prince True Monarch already made his move?"

Jinshan Tongzi himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling. He couldn't believe that the Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede, which had troubled the Southern Region for many days and whose strongest spiritual treasure couldn't do anything to him, was dead.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Jin, didn't you feel that terrifying sword light? It even froze my mind."

The cultivator surnamed Tian flew forward a short distance, pointed, and said.

"Look, the head and body are separated, cut in two by a single sword."

"Excellent technique... excellent flying sword..."

After a long silence, Jinshan Tongzi stepped forward and began distributing the remains of the Hundred-Eyed Centipede.

The benefits that the corpse of any fourth-tier great demon can bring after death are beyond imagination.

As one of the five most rare insects, the value of the Hundred-Eyed Centipede will only increase.

Most importantly, of course, are those hundred pairs of compound eyes, which are priceless treasures.

Even ordinary compound eyes, which fail to activate their divine light, are worth several high-grade spirit stones.

Those compound eyes that can shoot out divine light are worth millions.

The compound eyes alone of this Hundred-Eyed Centipede could be exchanged for many top-grade spirit stones.

There are also pairs of leg joints and hard shells on the body, all of which are top-grade materials for refining weapons.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, as agreed, let's divide our spoils."

The cultivator surnamed Tian gestured for them to enter and spoke slowly.

"It's impossible."

Having witnessed the strength of the Blood God Child, the Golden Mountain Boy became much more docile, his words already showing him to be half a generation inferior.

The cultivation world is this nakedly honest. Blood God Child proved that his strength was comparable to that of a Great True Monarch, whether it came from his own abilities or from the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword.

As long as he can use this power, he can enjoy the status he deserves.

'I fear that in a few decades, even the Grand Elder will be no match for the Blood God Child… Is the rise of the Blood Sea Sect truly unstoppable?'

The Grand Elder of the Taiyi Sect is nearly a thousand years old. He has taken four or five kinds of longevity pills along the way in his cultivation, which have extended his lifespan by nearly three cycles of sixty years.

Besides requiring enormous financial support and the collective strength of the entire clan to collect resources, luck is also extremely important.

The main ingredient of most longevity pills is the herb of immortality, which means that these pills are often only effective with the first pill, with only a small portion of the effect remaining after the second pill, and the third pill being basically negligible.

Furthermore, because of the repetition of medicinal materials, even longevity elixirs from different formulas often have conflicting effects.

Otherwise, those Nascent Soul True Monarchs, if they collected all the longevity pills in the world, could live for at least another three to five hundred years.

Once the Grand Elder passes away, there will be no possibility for the Taiyi Sect to surpass the Blood Sea Sect.

Even now, when facing the Blood Sea Sect, the Taiyi Sect can only maintain a superficial balance.

The combined power of the Blood God Child and the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword is astonishing; its deterrent effect on Nascent Soul True Monarchs even surpasses that on Great True Monarchs.

In any case, Jinshan Tongzi himself had no idea when the unpredictable sword light had arrived in front of him, how to defend against it, or how he could possibly defend against it.

Even the Hundred-Eyed Centipede was killed with a single sword strike, so he was no better off.

After dividing all the spiritual materials left behind by the Hundred-Eyed Centipede in half, the Golden Mountain Boy left without saying a word, leading his disciples away immediately.

"Master, this is a spiritual material obtained from the Hundred-Eyed Centipede."

Upon returning to the mountain gate, the cultivator surnamed Tong met the Blood God Child in the sea of ​​blood and presented him with various spiritual materials.

"That Hundred-Eyed Centipede is something Senior Brother could easily eliminate, so why share half of the spiritual materials with the Taiyi Sect?"

As Blood God's strength increased day by day, his position in the Blood Sea Sect became more and more consolidated, and the few Supreme Elders rarely spoke or made suggestions in the meetings anymore.

The cultivator surnamed Tian had always followed Blood God Child and was considered a direct descendant, which is why he dared to ask the question directly.

"But it's just a trivial external thing, don't be reluctant to part with it... Our sect is still quite far behind the Taiyi Sect and the Huanxi Sect, after all, our foundation is insufficient. But as long as I advance to the late Nascent Soul stage, the situation will turn around."

The Blood God Child was immersed in the sea of ​​blood, without a fixed form; only a blood shadow circled around the Avici Hell Demon Sword stuck at the bottom.

"Old Fei of the Taiyi Sect doesn't have many years left to live. As long as I show goodwill, there's no way he can refuse my kindness... They don't have the luck of the Huanxi Sect, which has produced two outstanding juniors who both successfully transformed into Nascent Souls before the age of three hundred. Their future is limitless."

According to statistics from the cultivation world, the proportion of those who reach the Nascent Soul stage before the age of 300 and those who reach it after the age of 300 is more than ten times lower than that of those who reach the Nascent Soul stage after the age of 300, and they are more likely to advance to the Great True Monarch stage.

This isn't due to a difference of several decades or hundreds of years in cultivation time; rather, even the process of breaking through the core and transforming into an infant can only be completed after the age of three hundred.

The difficulty of cultivation is even greater. Most of the time, one cannot rely on the power of elixirs and must rely on one's own cultivation to make progress, making the hope of breaking through realms even more remote.

Each stage in the Nascent Soul stage is equivalent to the difficulty of breaking through the late-stage bottleneck in the Core Formation stage.

This is why so many Nascent Soul cultivators remain at the initial stage.

It's not that I didn't try hard enough; it's that after the Nascent Soul stage, I lost my resolve to pursue the Dao and became lax.

No matter how hard one tries, there is no positive feedback, just like reaching the end of spiritual practice and making no further progress.

The Joyful Sect and the Taiyi Sect are of similar strength, but the former has greater potential for the future, so the Blood God Child naturally chose the latter as his partner.

"Put the rest of the spiritual materials into the storeroom. The compound eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Centipede are that person's favorite. Perhaps this can help us get closer to them... I'm going to the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu. If there's any urgent matter in the sect, you can use the Blood Shadow Talisman to send me a message. I'll be able to return in a few months, or at most a few years."

With a whoosh, the blood-red figure rose from the sea of ​​blood, and a crimson robe appeared on its own.

His once chaotic facial features gradually transformed into a sinister expression, exuding a mature charm born of experience.

After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and grasped the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword, which then vanished as a blood-red lightning bolt.

"Qingqiu Dead Sea..."

The mere utterance of the words sent a chill down the spine of the cultivator surnamed Tian.

Even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu is a perilous and dangerous place, where those who dare to trespass face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.

In the cultivation world, the currently recognized holy land of the demon race is Rotten Axe Mountain.

In earlier times, the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu was the holy land of the demon race, and many of the most powerful demon race warriors came from there.

However, the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu does not accept the allegiance of outside demon races, but only accepts so-called royal demon beasts. Even when the Central Region swept through all spiritual veins and was trying to exterminate all demon beasts, it did not stand up and say a word.

In their eyes, noble royalty and ordinary monsters are not the same group at all, so what if they all die?

This attitude led to the emergence of Rotten Axe Mountain, which attracted demons from all over the world to flock there, protecting all kinds of demons and beasts, and becoming a new holy land.

However, in the minds of high-level cultivators, the fact that the reputation of the Qingqiu Dead Sea has declined over the past ten thousand years compared to that of the Rotten Axe Mountain does not mean that its strength has decreased; the danger there remains.

Even though the Qingqiu Dead Sea has a fifth-order spiritual land with countless rare flowers and herbs, and spiritual herbs that are over a thousand years old can be found everywhere.

Few cultivators dare to enter it, as it is a truly perilous and dangerous place with a record of many Nascent Soul True Monarchs falling there.

……

The Dian Kingdom, the Two Boundaries Mountain.

Heavy snow fell, the wind whipped up the waning moon, and the sky turned gray just past noon, with only a very short period of light.

There were three large armies of cultivators, each dressed differently, each occupying a section of the battlefield, forming a defensive perimeter.

They set up battle formations, piled up war weapons, and launched a continuous offensive.

The roaring sounds continued from morning till night for several days before subsiding briefly, at which point fresh reinforcements would arrive to continue the attack.

The attacked mountain gate has five corresponding peaks, forming a pentagonal shape, like five stars with countless chains of light strung together in the middle.

At the same time, five-colored rays of light flowed and shone brightly, with spiritual energy surging, vying with the battle formations outside for the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
