Born with immortal seed

Chapter 469 Priority Teaching Treasure
"It is said that the third-tier Spring and Autumn Cicada can already manipulate the power of time. If there really is a fourth-tier Spring and Autumn Cicada, what kind of performance would it have..."

Bai Zichen muttered to himself, because of his own Dao, his attention to the Spring and Autumn Cicada was definitely far greater than that to other insects and beasts.

He even owes a great deal of gratitude to that second-tier Spring and Autumn Cicada in the Black Mountain Range for leading him to the path of time.

Without that experience, I truly wouldn't have been able to gain enlightenment on alchemy and lay the foundation for the Great Dao.

I initially thought it was just the delusion of a few delusional cultivators, but looking at the animal hide, it seems that it might actually have existed.

The fourth-order Spring and Autumn Cicada is probably the embodiment of the Great Dao of Time; even the flapping of its wings can unleash the power of time.

If he could actually catch one, it would be of great benefit to his life path.

"Forget it, I won't think about it too much... Regardless of whether it's true or not, even if there really is a fourth-order Spring and Autumn Cicada, I'm afraid it's not something I can handle. I'm afraid only a Nascent Soul cultivator would have a chance to capture a fourth-order Spring and Autumn Cicada that can enter and exit the River of Time and is always surrounded and protected by the power of time."

Bai Zichen carefully put away the animal hide. It was a pity that he didn't capture a disciple of the Hundred Skills Sect to interrogate and find out whether the animal hide was passed down from ancient times or a later imitation, so that he could make a rough judgment.

There was also a white bone relic, half of which was filled with demonic energy, and the other half radiated Buddhist light.

"Who left this after their Buddhist practice ended? How could it be so peculiar... Could it be that they first cultivated Buddhism and then entered the demonic path, thus forming such a unique relic?"

Bai Zichen held the white bone relic in his hand and spun it around several times, unable to imagine which cultivator could use it.

Relics are the essence left behind by eminent monks after their passing away and attaining rainbow body. They only appear at the Arhat level and contain their understanding of Buddhism, as well as the condensation and solidification of their vast Buddhist power.

For Buddhist practitioners, relics are supreme treasures.

Keep it with you at all times to reduce anger, increase understanding of Buddhist principles, and aid in spiritual practice.

It can even serve as a catalyst to activate powerful Buddhist supernatural abilities, increasing their effects several times over.

The higher the level of Buddhist practice, the better the effects of the relics left behind.

However, this white bone relic is half-possessed by demons, making it clearly unsuitable for use by Buddhist cultivators.

But if given to a demonic cultivator, they will be converted and restrained by the Buddha's light.

Only if we encounter another cultivator who practices both Buddhism and demonism can we use this white bone relic.

Judging from the power contained within, it must have been left by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Moreover, both the Buddhist and demonic paths possess roughly the same level of profound understanding.

Only in this way can the skeleton relics achieve a balance.

The last item was a ribbon, so light and soft that you couldn't feel its weight at all when you held it in your hand.

Just when he thought it was another strange object of unknown origin and was about to put it into his domain, he had a sudden thought and took it back.

"This feeling...it's familiar. Which treasure is it that makes me recall this ribbon so vividly..."

Bai Zichen pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of light gauze and placed the two side by side.

"It really is the Enchanting Silk. The grade of this treasure is unknown, and it is still in a damaged state, but I have never seen anything stronger than it in terms of concealment."

The light gauze gently unfurled, and the ribbons automatically joined together.

It's as if we were meant to be one, never separated.

He grabbed the Enchanting Silk and shook it for a moment; the ribbons swayed and showed no sign of falling.

I put it on and sure enough, I noticed the difference.

"Originally, as long as one stood still, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch could not detect the existence of the Bewitching Fairy Veil. After this ribbon was repaired, even if one walked while wearing the Bewitching Fairy Veil at a moderate speed, it would not cause a ripple."

Bai Zichen carefully examined the changes in the Enchanting Silk to avoid any mishaps during its actual use.

During the Core Formation stage, the effect of the Bewitching Veil depends on the strength of one's spiritual sense. As long as one wears the veil, one cannot be detected unless one's spiritual sense exceeds a certain threshold.

After transforming into a Nascent Soul, his divine sense was enhanced to the standard of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the upper limit of the Bewitching Fairy Veil was also revealed.

It's no longer an unlimited upgrade; it's stuck around the late Nascent Soul stage.

A stronger True Lord might still have a chance to see through the fog and find the flaw in the Enchanting Veil.

"However, this version of the Enchanting Silk is still not complete. It seems that there are other fragments scattered somewhere in the cultivation world. If we can gather them all together, it will definitely enhance the cultivation significantly."

The main body of the Enchanting Silk was obtained from Daoist He of the Ghost Spirit Sect, while this ribbon was obtained from the Dian Kingdom in the Southern Region.

Originating from the same source, yet separated by such a vast distance after the treasure was shattered, it can only be said that anything can happen under the influence of a long period of time.

After taking stock of all the spoils he had taken from the Hundred Skills Sect's secret vault, Bai Zichen simply carved out a simple cave dwelling on this desolate mountain.

Sword light danced, and with a few swift strokes, a stone cave was carved out of the mountain wall, from which a spirit-gathering array was thrown out.

First, he spent a month refining the Hundred Poison Cold Serpent Sword.

After all, it is a top-quality third-tier flying sword, the kind that has the potential to be upgraded to a fourth-tier flying sword in the future.

The sooner the refining is completed, the more it should be placed in the Supreme Pure Sword Box to be nurtured by its pure energy.

Subsequently, the Spirit Eye Stone was refined into the realm.

Several months later, the Spirit Eye Stone disappeared, and a stone pillar appeared in the previously empty realm.

"You are the first thing to be created in my realm, I hope you can make a good start..."

The little white nascent soul looked solemn as it released its hands from the stone pillar.

A faint spiritual aura emanated from the stone pillar, barely reaching the level of a spiritual land, a drop in the ocean compared to the entire realm.

But this is a good start, representing a crucial step forward for his domain.

It was no longer a blank, empty space, like a dead land drawn out of the void, devoid of any life.

"After a few more years, when the concentration of spiritual energy increases, we can place spirit beasts inside, and some spirit plants can also be planted... As for cultivators living in it, those with too low cultivation levels cannot withstand the pressure on their physical bodies, while those with higher cultivation levels cannot make ends meet by refining spiritual energy."

Bai Zichen shook his head slightly. The construction of the realm is a long-term project, a slow and steady process, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

As the undisputed hope for the Nascent Soul stage in the Northern Region, it is impossible for them to neglect a solid foundation in pursuit of the speed of realm evolution.

The Nascent Soul Transformation Heavenly Barrier—that was a realm where even he dared not guarantee the effectiveness of his own sacred body, unsure if it could even function.

Looking at the history of the cultivation world, many sacred bodies have only reached the Nascent Soul stage.

His mysterious sacred body is unlike any other sacred body recorded in history, and its scope of effectiveness is unprecedented.

However, this does not prove that it can still play a role at the Nascent Soul stage.

"The matter at the Five Elements Sect has come to an end, but there are still two places to visit in the Dian Kingdom, so there's no need to rush to leave."

Bai Zichen took out the map of the Five Regions, pointed to the Southern Region, and then zoomed in on the location of the Dian Kingdom.

"One is the stalactite cave in the Soul Searching Memory. Xin Youhuang hasn't been there for a long time since he transformed into a Nascent Soul, so he should have accumulated a lot of Earth Spirit Milk... This item is extremely sought after. Whether it is traded among people in the Central Region or brought back to the sect for the younger disciples to consume, it is suitable."

Although Earth Spirit Milk is useless to Nascent Soul level monsters, many people dote on their disciples and direct descendants. In order for their descendants to quickly improve their cultivation, these Nascent Soul level monsters are happy to spend money to buy Earth Spirit Milk.

Anyway, back in the Northern Region, several merchant guilds often posted missions to acquire local spiritual milk at shockingly high prices.

It is said that they are all sent to the Central Region, and even the Nascent Soul descendants of the major sects in the Northern Region may not be able to afford them.

"The other place is Luofeng Mountain, which is close to the Dian Kingdom and can be considered the border between the two countries... The sword-forging secrets that the disciples of the past presented to me, and the true fire needed for the final tempering of the sword happens to be here. Just for that ball of innate Nine Yang True Fire, it is worth the trip."

Bai Zichen had already gathered all the materials needed to forge that third-tier Golden Light Blazing Fire Sword, but he hadn't forged it yet because the three types of true fire required were too far apart.

Now that they have a large number of third-tier flying swords, they pay even less attention to them.

However, the Innate Nine Yang True Fire is not only used for sword forging; he also has a magic treasure waiting for this true fire to restore its grade.

"The Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror is only missing this ball of innate Nine Yang True Fire to immediately return it to the level of a top-grade magic treasure. Ordinary magic treasures are useless to me, but the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror is different. Even if it's only a low-grade magic treasure, it can still play a significant role. If it were to be upgraded to a spirit treasure, it would become a precious heirloom of the sect, with immeasurable value!"

Judging solely from its use in combat and killing, the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror doesn't even qualify to be placed in Bai Zichen's storage bag; it should have been thrown into the secret hall long ago for younger Core Formation cultivators to exchange for.

But even now, it remains perfectly still in its dantian, following behind the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box without moving an inch.

The Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror is of immense strategic significance as a treasure for spreading the Dao.

Even a magic weapon of such high rank can guide a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the most correct cultivation path.

They can even correct mistakes midway and continuously offer suggestions.

Once it is upgraded to a Spirit Treasure, it will be effective even for Core Formation True Persons!

Moreover, the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror is not a cultivator, so it doesn't get tired or stressed. It can work every single hour of the day to test and evaluate disciples without any problems.

This means that as long as he, the master, is willing, everyone in the sect can enjoy this kind of treatment.

"Of course, the premise is that the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror's spirituality is sublimated and breaks through to the level of a spiritual treasure... Moreover, if it is really squeezed like this, the treasure's spirit may have something to say and go on strike."

However, Bai Zichen even tried to upgrade his third-tier flying sword to the fourth tier, and the difficulty of sublimating a top-grade magic weapon into a low-grade spiritual treasure was relatively low.

The Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror was not newly forged; it had been used for thousands of years during the Tianli Sect era and passed down through generations, accumulating considerable depth and knowledge.

With the blessing of the Cantong Qi at that time, it may very well become the first spiritual treasure born from one's own hands.

"Comparing the two, the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror is more important, so let's go to Falling Phoenix Mountain first!"

Having made his decision, Bai Zichen didn't hesitate. He transformed into a lightning-fast sword and circled around twice to find his direction before speeding away on his sword.

Half a day later, countless blood-red shadows fell from the desolate mountain, covering the entire mountaintop.

"Too late again! This kid is wandering around aimlessly, as if he doesn't have a single target in mind. Could it be that he knows I'm coming to capture him?"

A middle-aged man with a sinister expression appeared in the stone cave, reached out and touched the spot where Bai Zichen had sat, and took out a blood-red compass from his chest.

The pointer spun wildly for a while, then stopped and pointed directly south!
