Born with immortal seed

Chapter 463 Sword Rises, Stars Soar, Slaying Across Ten Thousand Miles

Like a shooting star, swift as the wind and lightning.

Nanzhao was covered with dense forests, abundant rainfall, and teeming with insects.

Bai Zichen flew on his sword and even saw mosquitoes as big as fists, a dark mass resembling a tide.

The low humming sound could be heard from dozens of miles away, making people feel uneasy.

"However, it is equivalent to a first-order demonic insect in the late stage of Qi Refining. Out of a hundred, only one has reached the second order... But the number is really exaggerated. Even a Core Formation cultivator would be in a lot of trouble if he got caught in a swarm of mosquitoes."

Bai Zichen witnessed firsthand a third-tier low-grade Purple Crowned Python being surrounded by a swarm of mosquitoes.

A single spurt of venom causes swarms of mosquitoes to fall to the ground, their winged bodies corroded beyond recognition.

The purple-crowned anaconda suddenly rolled over, its tail curling up and crushing dozens more to death.

There were just too many mosquitoes; at least a thousand corpses piled up, and the black sea of ​​mosquitoes didn't shrink at all.

Fifteen minutes later, the Purple-crowned Anaconda was worn down to death by the relentless ant-like swarming tactics, leaving only a clean, white skeleton to be licked clean.

"No wonder insect-like creatures are so prevalent in the Southern Region; the cultivation conditions here are truly exceptional..."

A chill ran down Bai Zichen's spine. If the Mosquito Sea were to rise to a higher level, composed of second- or third-tier demonic insects, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would probably not dare to provoke it lightly.

If the number of low-level demonic insects exceeds a certain limit, it can indeed trigger a qualitative change.

Nanzhao was not even on the far south. The other kingdoms further south, established in remote and impoverished areas, had only existed for a thousand years.

Many territories were still uninhabited, surrounded by highly poisonous miasma and plagued by venomous creatures and insects.

Poisonous creatures that had long since disappeared from the other four regions now thrive and can be seen everywhere here.

In those remote and desolate places, in the swamps and dense forests, there are even fourth-order demonic insects.

The Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede, which wreaks havoc across the land, flew out from the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains.

There is even a saying that the five great strange insects in the cultivation world all originated from the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains.

The sects near the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains are all proficient in Gu techniques and skilled at raising poisonous creatures, with centipedes, scorpions, and spiders being the most common.

There are also those with potent toxicity, which can even threaten Nascent Soul True Monarchs, thus forging a unique path.

Bai Zichen, draped in a bewitching veil, stood quietly in the air. Not to mention these mosquitoes, even fourth-order poisonous creatures would not be able to detect him.

Seeing the bright moon hanging high in the sky, at midnight, he put on the Heavenly Illusion Bracelet and changed into a plain-colored robe.

He transformed himself, and his appearance became exactly the same as Feng Yishan of the Tianxin Sect.

Arriving at the agreed location and standing under the moonlight, if one didn't speak, one would really think it was Feng Yishan present.

“Since the Hundred Crafts Sect is eager to eliminate the Five Elements Sect after I leave, they won’t miss the opportunity to take the initiative to come to the Heavenly Heart Sect… This place is only a few hundred miles away from Wanfu Mountain. Even if there is an ambush, they can escape back to the mountain gate at any time.”

Bai Zichen suppressed his killing intent, but deliberately activated his Five Crystal Glazed Body, making him as dazzling as the sun in the darkness.

"Feng Yishan took the initiative to write to inform me that what he said was true. He was only forced to join forces because of the orders from Qingqiu Dead Sea... Even if this is false, I am not afraid of them trying to ambush me. No one would have thought that my domain would have already taken shape in less than a year."

Compared to when he first arrived in the Southern Region, his combat strength has not improved significantly.

But once the boundary is established, whether to stay or leave depends on his opinion.

Unlike before, when the opponent was determined to escape and there was nothing that could be done.

In terms of defense, there is also a much greater margin for error.

A few days ago, Feng Yishan of the Tianxin Sect sent someone with a letter saying that the Baiqiao Sect had contacted his family and the Chiyan Sect, preparing to destroy the Five Elements Sect.

Feng Yishan made it clear that he admired Bai Zichen's strength and would never take advantage of the Five Elements Sect's misfortune; the letter was merely a reminder.

Whether the letter was intended to sow discord or because the Tianxin Sect had witnessed its own strength and wanted to curry favor, it doesn't matter.

He couldn't leave with peace of mind until the hidden danger of the Hundred Skills Sect was resolved.

With the Five Elements Annihilation Formation, the Five Elements Sect could easily defend against the attack of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The key is that you are not like the Holy Lotus Sect, which has several secret realms within its sect, and can be self-sufficient even if besieged for a hundred years, and can persist even if it is cut off from the outside world.

As long as the Nascent Soul True Monarch is willing to lower himself and use his divine sense to cover the Two Realms Mountain, he can kill every Five Elements Sect disciple who has left the great formation.

In less than thirty years, the Five Elements Sect will collapse from the bottom up and will be difficult to maintain.

"I will not be at peace until this thief is eliminated... Even if I leave Nanzhao and travel elsewhere, I will still miss this place."

Bai Zichen wrote a letter of invitation in the name of Feng Yishan of the Tianxin Sect, inviting Xin Youhuang to meet him here at midnight.

They simply added the token from Feng Yishan that was originally attached to the letter, to see if Xin Youhuang would take the bait.

Under normal circumstances, the two Nascent Soul sects would not interact so casually.

But Bai Zichen was so gambled that the envoy from Baiqiao Sect had just been denied an audience when he suddenly appeared in front of Wanfu Mountain. Even if Xin Youhuang had doubts, she would never have imagined that the person who came was not Feng Yishan at all.

In the dead of night, only the unpleasant croaking of frogs could be heard; it was already an hour later than the agreed time.

Feng Yishan looked up at the bright moon, then lifted his leg to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, why are you leaving in such a hurry! If I hadn't just come out of seclusion and seen the letter delivered by my disciple, I would have almost missed it!"

Xin Youhuang appeared abruptly from the shadows, like a phantom, clad in a wide robe and long sleeves.

“I knew that body refinement cultivators are strong-willed, unlike the old scoundrel from the Crimson Flame Sect who is afraid of a sword cultivator from the Northern Region… The Five Elements Sect also had a Nascent Soul cultivator in its ancestors. Once our two families join forces to destroy it, we can each take a share of its inheritance to enrich the Transmission Hall!”

This person had clearly been observing in secret for a long time, and only revealed himself when he saw that Feng Yishan was about to leave.

"Alright, but how should the other floating assets be distributed?"

Feng Yishan's face was as firm as a rock as he spoke in a cold voice.

"It's a matter of splitting the numbers 50/20, taking turns to choose... Wait, you're not Feng Yishan!"

Xin Youhuang exclaimed in surprise, her figure instantly fading as she returned to the darkness.

Bai Zichen sighed softly, feeling it was a pity. From the outside, the ability to transform one's physical body was flawless.

However, without essence blood, the flaw is too great. A cultivator with keen spiritual sense would be able to detect the clues without even lifting a finger.

Even if one possesses the essence of blood, there will always be differences in speech, behavior, and speaking habits, making it easy to give oneself away in front of acquaintances.

Unless you spend a lot of time specifically learning the entire set of habits for your learning goals.

No matter how Xin Youhuang saw through his plan, his attempt to lure him closer and launch a surprise attack failed.

This person is extremely cautious; he didn't even lose his vigilance in front of his own mountain gate.

Upon realizing something was amiss, they left without regard for the visitor's identity, not lingering for even a second.

"But if you still ignore me and think that there are no ways to retain people, then you are making a big mistake!"

A dark red sky rose behind Bai Zichen, and a crimson glow blocked the black night sky, enveloping the place where Xin Youhuang had disappeared.

This person's appearance was so strange that it could deceive his divine sense, and the same was true for his departure.

It was clearly due to the use of the Hundred Skills Sect's grand formation. A fourth-order grand formation can extend its power to hundreds of miles away, which is not difficult to do.

Once Xin Youhuang escapes into the mountain gate and becomes prepared, killing him will be extremely difficult.

Only a Nascent Soul cultivator could easily break through a fourth-order formation presided over by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The domain suddenly expanded, enveloping the area around Xin Youhuang in darkness, and the space seemed to freeze.

The flowing black light, which had been still, came to a standstill. Xin Youhuang, who had already merged into the darkness, was expelled again and spun awkwardly in the air.

"Sealing the space? Impossible! Without a Void Treasure, how could you possibly do that!"

Xin Youhuang looked around and realized that she had fallen into the other party's domain and lost contact with the sect's formation. She finally felt a little panicked.

"Your realm, which was nowhere to be seen during our last battle, has only just been formed even after you've been frantically refining the power of the void since the day you transformed into a Nascent Soul... How could an unformed Nascent Soul realm possibly negate the teleportation power of a fourth-order grand formation!"

"Yes, it's an unformed realm... but it's more than enough to trap you!"

A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is called a Great True Lord, who has reached the perfection of their realm and is able to mobilize the power of their grotto-heaven to manifest the rules of their realm in the world.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators have no ability to contend with Great True Monarchs, and cannot even escape.

Bai Zichen quickly refined his domain with the help of spatial artifacts in just a few months, but he is still a long way from achieving the perfect domain.

Even the internal construction and the transfer of spiritual objects have not yet begun; they have only just integrated their own Great Dao into the realm.

Unlike the realms of other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, his realm did not manifest various things due to the fundamental cultivation methods or the paths they followed; it remained a void.

Only the realm was filled with faint red clouds, which he suspected was caused by the combination of the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture and the aura of the sacred beast.

Another point is that changes in time have clearly appeared in the realm.

Although there is no sunrise or sunset, one can clearly distinguish the different colors of the red glow during the day and night, which change with the passage of time.

In the final stages of most realm construction, the passage of time becomes imperceptible, much like a lifeless void within a spatial rift.

Only when it evolves into a grotto-heaven will there be a normal and stable sense of the passage of time.

This signifies a stable grotto-heaven world that has formed a complete set of rules governing heaven and earth, and is fundamentally different from realms.

Bai Zichen took too many steps ahead, giving his own realm a concept of time, which is clearly related to his path of cultivation.

It is normal for a cultivator who has embarked on the path of time to exhibit some strange phenomena in the realm they cultivate, which are different from those of ordinary people.

In practical terms, this means that his domain can better interfere with reality, much like the power of a grotto-heaven that has been weakened countless times.

The unfortunate Xin Youhuang thus became the first test subject.

"You think this will get you?"

After her initial panic, Xin Youhuang quickly regained her composure. Three lifelike remains of cultivators flew out from her sleeves, growing larger in the wind, their skin rosy, as if they had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

"I'll show you the true power of our sect!"

"It's not like we're a corpse-refining sect. What kind of behavior is it to carry around the corpses of our predecessors?"

Bai Zichen was greatly surprised, but he knew that Xin Youhuang must have had his reasons for doing so.

Regardless of their secret techniques or supernatural abilities, this monastery must be killed today, or the consequences will be dire.

Three dazzling sword lights shone simultaneously, perfectly reflecting Xin Youhuang's somewhat frightened face.

The several defensive magical treasures that he unleashed at once were easily shattered, making Xin Youhuang thankful that he had brought with him the three remains of the patriarch that he had retrieved from the sect's forbidden area when he went out that night.

Otherwise, if their Dharma form is broken and their strength is greatly diminished, they may not be able to escape even if they grow wings.

But right now, it remains to be seen who the hunter is!
