Born with immortal seed

Chapter 460 Kindness and Compassion in Qingqiu Mountain

Ten thousand miles south of Liangjie Mountain, in a dense forest, an old man and a young boy, grandfather and grandson, traveled together.

Despite the sweltering heat, the old man was still wearing a shiny, fuzzy leather coat. His face was so wrinkled it could trap a mosquito, and he had wrinkled skin and white hair.

The little girl had a delicate face and fair skin. Upon closer inspection, her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were like water. She was actually a tomboy dressed as a girl.

"Grandpa, why should we walk? Wouldn't it be much faster to ride the clouds?"

The tomboy asked in confusion, noticing that the grandfather and grandson looked frail and wobbled as they took each step.

But a moment later, the two had already passed through the dense forest and were walking in a muddy swamp.

"Your grandfather is a well-known figure among humans. If he dares to use demonic power, he'll probably be targeted by the Demon-Slaying Sword at any moment..."

Old Hu wiped non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead and said dejectedly.

"Who told our ancestor to lose a move to the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master five hundred years ago and be forced to swear an oath never to leave the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu? Otherwise, how could those guys on Rotten Axe Mountain be living so comfortably? Don't they realize that without our ancestor taking on this battle, who would the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master seek to establish his authority with!"

"That Heavenly Punishment Peak Master is so annoying! From elementary school, he's taught all sorts of rules, forbidding this and that. Grandma says it's all because of him! Once I grow my nine tails, I'll go and eat him!"

The tomboy said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense, or someone might overhear you..."

Old Man Hu's expression changed drastically. He covered Hu Jiu'er's mouth and looked around.

"Jiu'er, you are the one with the purest bloodline in our clan's ten thousand years of history, growing to seven tails without the Demon Saint Pearl's purification. But do not be arrogant. The Heavenly Punishment Peak Master possesses extraordinary abilities, ranking among the top Nascent Soul cultivators in the history of the Moral Sect. Our ancestor said that the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master must either forcibly ascend within two hundred years or wait to pass away. Once he is gone, our Heavenly Fox Clan will have a much better life!"

Nine-tailed celestial foxes are not known for their longevity among demons, but they still have a significant advantage over human cultivators.

If we can't defeat them in a direct confrontation, then we'll just have to endure it with our lifespans until the day the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master is gone.

"Hmph, they had to travel such a long way to the Five Elements Sect to ask for the Demon Saint Pearl. They should just arrest all the human cultivators who possess the Demon Saint Pearl, bleed them, and cut off their flesh to feed their own race."

Hu Jiu'er calmly recounted the horrifying details, clearly indicating that such behavior was no longer normal in her mind.

"Didn't a human cultivator come to visit? Why didn't Grandpa agree to his suggestion to let him take back the Demon Saint Pearl? ... Could it be that that person is just like the previous three, all show and no substance, and will be beaten to a pulp?"

“That person is quite strong, especially since the demonic sword in his hand poses a great threat to me. I should be able to obtain the Demon Saint Pearl smoothly. But destroying a Core Formation sect and killing a young Nascent Soul True Monarch with a powerful backer are two completely different things.”

Old Man Hu thought of the Nascent Soul demon cultivator who had come to visit, who wanted to exchange the compound eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Centipede for a fourth-order demon blood essence.

Just then, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Crimson Flame Sect returned to report the details and immediately volunteered.

The conversation did not reveal the treasures that needed to be brought back, but Old Man Hu still resolutely refused and decided to go out of the mountain himself.

Given that Nascent Soul demon cultivator's style of doing things, he will surely wreak havoc on the Five Elements Sect.

When the Daode Sect investigates, won't it be us who suffer the most?

Especially the sword cultivators who stood up for the Five Elements Sect, although I had never heard of their names, they must have come from a super sect.

"The ancestor has instructed us to abide by the rules during this period and not to provoke the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master. The remaining two hundred years have already taken into account the life-extending effect of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm. This amount of time is simply not enough to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The Heavenly Punishment Peak Master's success rate in forcibly ascending is extremely low."

The fact that Qingqiu Dead Sea, so small and cautious, could maintain its composure even in the face of the Demon Saint Pearl, which is related to the cultivation potential of the demon race, is precisely because of the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master.

The consequences of a powerful being who had no hope of ascending to the Nascent Soul stage, caused by his rage, were unbearable.

If it weren't for the Daode Sect's emphasis on having laws to rely on and punishments to be carried out, the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu would probably already be closed off by now.

Old Hu knew in his heart that even if he outlived the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master, this cultivation world could never return to the past when the demon and human races coexisted.

Humans have become the undisputed overlords of this world, while the demon race can only live in one place, forming so-called holy lands to stick together for warmth.

Once a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator like the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master emerges, even the sacred lands of the demon race must restrain their brilliance and abide by the rules.

“Then let’s go to the outer sea. The Starry Sea Dragon Maiden who visited us a hundred years ago told me that the demon race still dominates their outer sea, and there is no place for humans to stand.”

Hu Jiu'er thought of that dragon girl who was only a few hundred years older than her, who boasted to her about how powerful the Starry Sea was in the outer sea, and how all sea beasts and even humans had to rely on their family to survive.

"Relatively speaking, the outer sea is indeed a paradise... but it's not that the human race is afraid of the strength of the sea demons, but rather that it's more difficult to develop and the cost-effectiveness is not high. As the number of cultivators in the five regions continues to increase, a war to develop the outer sea will definitely break out again within a thousand years, just like the eradication of all the demons in the central region back then."

Old Hu had no respect for Xingxiu Sea. You reigned supreme on the sea, calling yourself the king of the sea tribe.

But they can't afford to put on airs when facing the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu.

Based on the fact that Qingqiu Dead Sea has a living demon lord, who is also one of the most outstanding fifth-order great demons in the cultivation world, the Heavenly Fox Clan has the right to look down on all other demon clans.

In terms of bloodline inheritance, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lineage is no less impressive, being a direct descendant of an ancient demon god from the lower realms.

The bloodline of the true dragon is indeed more noble, but the bloodline of the dragons in Xingxiu Sea is far inferior to that of the true dragons, at most they can only fight to a draw with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Moreover, being of the same demon race, Old Man Hu knew everything about the Starry Sea.

Their so-called fifth-tier old dragon, the Demon Lord Ancestor, has absolutely no connection with the Starry Sea Demon Clan. It is stationed in a water eye deep in the outer sea and has never left.

It was only because the Starry Sea often offered blood sacrifices that the old dragon tacitly allowed them to use his name.

"Jiu'er, once you arrive at the Five Elements Sect, follow my orders. Do not act recklessly or impulsively... The Demon Saint Pearl is related to our clan's heritage, so do not act recklessly."

Old Hu suddenly remembered something and solemnly explained.

According to the report from the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Crimson Flame Sect, the Nascent Soul sword cultivator who came to help the Five Elements Sect was incredibly powerful, and Hu Jiu'er was likely no match for him.

If a fight breaks out and Hu Jiu'er is no match for him, leading to Hu Laohan's downfall, then the original purpose of the matter would be lost.

Without the involvement of the Moral Sect, resolving this matter as soon as possible and welcoming back the Demon Saint Pearl is the top priority at present.

"Alright, alright, I'm not a child anymore. Grandpa, I'm tired of hearing you say that!"

Hu Jiu'er covered her ears and shook her head impatiently.

Several days later, the Two Realms Mountain finally appeared before the two of them.

"The Hu clan of Qingqiu Mountain pays their respects to True Lord Bai Zichen!"

Hu Jiu'er opened her mouth and let out a clear, sweet voice that shook the clouds above her head to shatter.

It is known to outsiders as the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu, but to the Celestial Fox Clan it is called Mount Qingqiu.

The grand formation on Liangjie Mountain activated on its own, with five-colored spiritual light flowing and the light curtains of the five peaks connecting into one.

"They're finally here. If they hadn't shown up soon, I would have thought there was something wrong with my thinking..."

On Crimson Fire Peak, Bai Zichen opened his eyes, and five divine lights, each a few inches long, circled around his five fingers before returning to his body.

He had always judged that Qingqiu Dead Sea would definitely send people again, and that they would only take drastic action if no agreement was reached.

This stemmed from confidence in their own strength, believing that the other party would be willing to negotiate with a Nascent Soul sword cultivator.

That's why he was so worried when there was no movement for so long, fearing that the Qingqiu Dead Sea was mobilizing its forces to deliver a thunderous blow to the Five Elements Sect.

What Bai Zichen didn't expect was that it was actually a twist of fate.

The main reason is that the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master's lifespan is nearing its end, which makes him even more intimidating to the demon race than before, causing all actions of the Qingqiu Dead Sea to be hesitant and timid.

Otherwise, whether it's the Blood God Child who agreed to volunteer and offered his services, or the mobilization of fourth-tier demons, he will face a fierce battle.

The Qingqiu Dead Sea belongs to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lineage, but they welcome all royal beasts and have gathered many of them.

It shouldn't be too difficult to assemble a luxurious lineup of fourth-tier demons.

In the past few months, Bai Zichen has focused on cultivating the Great Five Elements Nirvana Divine Light and successfully entered the first level.

To my delight, my own sacred body still works for this great supernatural power, and I can bypass the problem of insufficient sensitivity to spiritual energy.

However, it will be a long way before one can cultivate to the point where it can be used at the Nascent Soul level.

“Lord Bai, look…”

The Earth Immortal, his face clouded with worry, had been waiting outside for some time.

"It's alright, leave it to me. Since they didn't attack right away, they obviously intend to negotiate."

Bai Zichen arrived at the front of the formation and saw the old man and the young man above and below him, and his eyes twitched.

Two fourth-order transformed demons!

The one who was incredibly old concealed his demonic power with his furry leather coat, but the immense demonic power hidden within was enough to burst forth into the sky the moment he took off his coat.

"A fourth-tier superior-grade great demon is equivalent to a Great True Monarch in the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Bai Zichen had considered sending a transformed demon from Qingqiu Dead Sea, but he didn't expect that a fourth-tier high-grade demon would arrive so suddenly.

Even though Qingqiu Dead Sea was once a sacred place for the demon race, there should only be a handful of demons of this rank.

"I, Bai, have met you two fellow cultivators from the demon race. May I ask your names?"

Bai Zichen stepped out of the Five Elements Annihilation Formation. Although the probability of the other party suddenly turning against him was extremely low, the little Bai Nascent Soul in his dantian was still tense, holding the sword box and ready to step into the river of time surrounding him at any time.

"In the past, people in the cultivation world called me Hu Da. As for Bai Zhenjun, it was up to me. A name is just a code name, and you can call me whatever you want."

Old Hu stepped forward, smiling like a flower.

"I believe you know why I've come here... The Demon Saint Pearl is of utmost importance to our clan, and we must bring it back to Qingqiu Mountain. As compensation, I can, on behalf of the Hu clan, agree to two reasonable conditions."

"This, allow me some time to consider..."

Bai Zichen was taken aback; it was completely different from what he had imagined.

'When did the great demon from the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu become so easy to talk to? He's completely different from the rumors!'
