Born with immortal seed

Chapter 478 Undying Divine Power

“Even Venerable Zi Lei acknowledges you as his master, so I will tentatively believe him… Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, no, the late Nascent Soul stage, I will truly acknowledge you as my master. Before that, I want to stay in the sword box and experience the effects of the pure energy.”

The Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword glanced in the direction of the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, its voice unconsciously lowering.

"But you'll have to get used to it quickly; it won't be long before that day comes."

Bai Zichen pointed to the sword box, creating an empty space, and the black and red demonic dragon rushed into it.

"You actually underestimated the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box. It's a pity you don't know that in the secret realm, the sword box is the most important of the three treasures of inheritance. Even when Xiao Zi fell to the third-tier sword embryo, it was to protect the sword box and share her spiritual power with it."

In ancient times, few people paid attention to the sword box. Even the Abyssal Demon Sword, in its words, placed the Purple Star Thunder Sword in a higher position, regarding the sword box only as an auxiliary treasure.

Only Bai Zichen could truly understand what the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box represented.

The four seemingly simple words "Heavenly Treasures" likely imply something far beyond the comprehension of cultivators in the mortal realm.

The Abhidharma Sword's choice of this semi-surrender, semi-independence state is quite good, since it doesn't have many opportunities to use a fifth-tier flying sword right now.

If you encounter an enemy that even the Star River Sword Formation can't handle, then switching to the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword won't be of much use. You can't expect this demon sword to risk its life and use its original power for you.

Even replacing a flying sword in the sword formation is beyond the capabilities of true essence.

To truly unleash the power of a fifth-tier flying sword, one still needs a foundation of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.

When Bai Zichen had just formed his core, he was able to wield the Moonlit Sword at will, provided that it cooperated wholeheartedly without reservation.

"The Blood God True Monarch knows about my sword formation and body-refining trump card. If he leaks it before he dies, it will be extremely disadvantageous to me... It's hateful that I'm already injured. If I set off to chase and fight again, I will suffer irreversible internal injuries."

Bai Zichen didn't want to kill them all, but if he were to suffer from a serious illness and spend hundreds of years to fully recover, it wouldn't be worth it.

"Even the Blood God True Monarch with the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword is no match for me, let alone without the flying sword... With this person dead, the Blood Sea Sect has no need to pay attention to this place, and is not even qualified to be listed as one of the three major sects of Southern Chu."

The Blood Sea Sect posed no real threat; what truly made him uneasy was the suspected mastermind behind it all, the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu.

If it is indeed the former sacred land of the demon race that instigated the Blood God True Monarch, regardless of their true purpose, it is an extremely terrifying thing.

This is a force with a Nascent Soul Demon Lord in charge. Even if a fifth-tier Demon Lord is unable to take action, there are still several fourth-tier high-grade Great Demon Lords, equivalent to Great True Lords of the human race.

At the same time, it has a very profound influence in the Southern Region.

The fact that he could easily command the Blood God True Lord shows that he was able to evade the Morality Sect's surveillance through other means.

"I need to find a secluded place to heal my injuries first. In my current state, if two more early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators come, I'll have no choice but to flee... Once I'm healed, I'll head to the Central Region immediately. There are many super sects there, and more importantly, it's close to the Morality Sect. I believe that even if the demon race is bold, they won't dare to act recklessly."

Bai Zichen took out two third-tier pills that replenished qi and blood, strengthened bones and nourished the body, and swallowed them in one gulp.

After spending a long time calculating on the map, he simply packed up his belongings and flew over Luofeng Mountain straight to Shiwan Evil Mountain.

"This place is sparsely populated, desolate and wild, which is just what I need for peace and safety..."

After flying over several mountain peaks, they finally sensed a top-grade level three spiritual land and quickly descended with their sword light.

Fourth-tier spiritual lands are extremely rare in the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains, and are basically occupied by powerful and ruthless Gu cultivators and transformed demons.

At times like these, it's better to avoid trouble and there's no need to strive for perfection.

A group of five-poison flower spiders were entrenched on the hilltop, each as big as a washbasin. The leader, the spider king, was even as big as a calf, with brightly colored patterns on its back that formed a complex design.

When the Five Poison Spider King saw the enemy, it spat out a mouthful of venom, and the air was filled with a fishy and sweet smell. The venom fell to the ground and melted, creating shocking pits and craters.

At the same time, poisonous smoke was also emitted, and hundreds of five-poison flower spiders worked together to form a cloud of poisonous mist.

The poisonous fog was colorful and had an unbearable stench.

Bai Zichen flicked his finger, sending out dozens of balls of pure Yang true fire that formed a fire net, causing the Five Poison Flower Spiders to sizzle and burn.

Fifteen minutes later, they were all lying on their backs, and the whole mountain smelled of burning.

After cleaning up the venomous creature's lair, he draped the Enchanting Veil over himself and began the healing process.

Spring came and autumn went, and the Five Poisonous Flower Spider was wiped out. The following year, a new venomous creature crawled up the mountain. It was a third-tier golden scorpion with two tails. One tail had a poisonous hook like an iron chain, shimmering with green light, while the other tail had a poisonous hook like a silver needle, as thin as a cow's hair.

The golden scorpion ignored the cultivators who were right next to it, dragged over a few stone slabs to provide shade, and then crawled inside.

"In terms of self-healing and recovery, the Five Crystal Glazed Body is not much different from ordinary body-refining techniques. It seems that I need to find a way to cultivate the Undying Cave True Bone... Regeneration of severed limbs and muscle growth from bones are commonplace. As long as the nascent soul is intact and the primordial spirit is flawless, even if the physical body is in pieces, it can be restored by turning the Undying Cave True Bone into nothingness."

Bai Zichen opened his eyes; his internal injuries had barely healed by more than half.

"The True Bone of the Undying Cave requires the essence blood of a demon beast with the power of immortality before it can be refined, which is quite difficult. I can't just go up and fight every demon beast I see to see if it has an immortal body. Moreover, according to ancient records, demon beasts that can master the power of immortality are basically at the fifth rank, which is beyond my ability to deal with."

However, among the seven immortal bones forged by the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, one is a perfect match for the present moment, namely the Hundred Poisons Jade Scale Bone.

He collected 999 kinds of toxins and refined his forearm into a bone of emerald scales, making him virtually immune to all the strange poisons in the world.

The Ten Thousand Evil Mountains can be said to be the most suitable place in the cultivation world for cultivating this immortal bone. There is no other place in the world with a greater number and density of poisonous creatures than this place.

"It's time-consuming and laborious. It might take decades to collect all the poisons... Collecting them alone might not be as convenient as waiting until I reach the late Nascent Soul stage and become a powerful figure. Then I can issue an order to mobilize cultivators to hunt and collect poisons in the Southern Border."

As Bai Zichen thought this, a giant hand of true essence captured the two-tailed golden scorpion a hundred feet away.

With a forceful hook, it stung and injected venom, turning the crimson giant hand into azure blue.

With another hook, the fine silver needle pierced out, its cold light flashing.

"Impressive skill. It's only a low-grade third rank, yet this tail hook can withstand a blow from a fully formed Core Formation cultivator. Moreover, it's concealed and ruthless; even a Core Formation cultivator might not be able to withstand it."

Bai Zichen examined the thin needle tail hook with great interest, feeling that it was a natural material for refining flying needles.

It can be formed with just a simple ritual.

With a single squeeze of his true essence, he took the life of the two-tailed scorpion and extracted its venom sac.

He squeezed out a drop of ink-black venom and, following the cultivation method of the Hundred Poisons Green Scales Bone, gradually integrated it into his left forearm.

Several hours later, an ink line appeared on the left arm under internal vision, which was the sign of the fusion of poisons.

Once the left arm is covered with lines, it means that the Hundred Poisons Jade Scale Bone has been successfully refined.

After a short while, he retrieved the innate Nine Yang True Fire and the Nine Yang Divine Fire.

Once the innate Nine Yang True Fire was placed into the treasure mirror, without even needing to be activated or refined, the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror was like a traveler who had been trapped in the desert for years seeing a clear spring and eagerly drinking from it.

The two blended seamlessly, and a gentle warmth emanated from the mirror, bringing the entire treasure mirror to life.

It seemed as if the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror was cheering, and with a few crisp cracking sounds, it finally returned to the rank of a top-grade magic weapon.

"Once I have mastered the Cantong Qi, I will try to upgrade it to a spiritual treasure. From then on, the sect will have one more spiritual treasure for spreading the Dao..."

Bai Zichen played with the newly created Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror for a long time before finally returning it to his dantian and hanging it on the chest of his chubby nascent soul.
