Born with immortal seed

Chapter 481 Outer Elder of the Five Thunder Sect

The most noteworthy event in Southern Chu recently has been the sudden attack by the Joyful Sect on the Blood Sea Sect, listing dozens of major crimes.

The first one is that the previous Holy Maiden of the Joyful Sect suddenly died at the hands of a Nascent Soul Elder of the Blood Sea Sect.

In addition, they found several aggrieved families and had them block the entrance of the Blood Sea Sect every day, crying and complaining.

It tells how the Blood Sea Sect used despicable methods, seizing treasures by force and exterminating the entire sect.

Such stale and reprehensible acts are commonplace in the Southern Region; which sect hasn't done them? Their numerous misdeeds are too many to recount.

However, since they needed to deal with the Blood Sea Sect at this time, they used it as a respectable excuse to put themselves on the moral high ground.

Everyone originally thought that the Blood Sea Sect would definitely take swift and decisive action to capture all of them, but unexpectedly, only a Nascent Soul Elder appeared. Upon seeing a Bodhisattva and a Divine General from the Joyful Sect present, he retreated without even exchanging greetings.

For the next few months, the Huanxi Sect cultivators ignored the pleas and cries of the aggrieved party, blocking one of the routes out of the mountain gate.

This surprised all the cultivators in the Southern Region, as it was inconsistent with the Blood Sea Sect's usual practices.

They have always been vengeful, and in recent years, with the Blood God True Monarch's increased strength, they have become even more domineering and tyrannical.

Even if they face the Taiyi Sect and the Huanxi Sect, they will not suffer losses.

Under these strange circumstances, rumors soon began to circulate that the Blood God True Lord was seriously injured and it was uncertain whether he had passed away.

Without this pillar, how could the Blood Sea Sect have the confidence to challenge the Joyful Sect?

The Joyful Sect has three great Bodhisattvas and two divine generals, all of whom are at the Nascent Soul stage. However, their cultivation levels, which were improved through dual cultivation and the union of spirit and body, are always slightly weaker than those of other cultivators at the same level.

With Xuan Nu never taking action, the Joyful Sect had no advantage against the Blood Sea Sect and could only retreat step by step.

The situation has completely reversed this time, so it's no wonder that all sorts of rumors are flying around, and they seem quite plausible.

“Someone is taking advantage of my misfortune, trying to carve out a piece of flesh from the Blood Sea Sect, and they've conveniently become my pawns…”

A beam of light descended, and Li Hansi's perfect Core Formation cultivation stood out among the cultivators. Immediately, someone gave him the best spot, where he could see the Blood Sea Sect's mountain gate.

Bai Zichen returned from the Ten Thousand Evils Mountain. Considering that the Blood God True Monarch's actions were suspected to be instigated by the Deity Transformation level force Qingqiu Dead Sea, he changed his appearance and traveled as Li Hansi, a successor of the Xuanming lineage of the Fish Dragon Sect.

After all, the entire Southern Region is right under the nose of Qingqiu Dead Sea. If they really get angry, even the Moral Sect wouldn't be able to react before a fifth-tier demon lord makes a move.

Given the strength they had previously displayed, Qingqiu Dead Sea would certainly have full confidence in Blood God True Lord and wouldn't be preparing a backup plan to attack simultaneously.

He could change his appearance in time, making it impossible for the Qingqiu Dead Sea authorities to track him down.

"So it's best not to take action if possible. As soon as it's confirmed that Blood God True Monarch is dead, I will immediately set off for the Central Region."

In Bai Zichen's view, since the Joyful Sect dared to launch an attack on the Blood Sea Sect, they must have a certain understanding of the situation of the Blood Sea True Monarch.

Only a sect of similar strength could possibly force the Blood Sea Sect to reveal all its trump cards.

Otherwise, he would be all alone, facing the Blood Sea Sect's fourth-order grand formation, and could only sigh in despair.

Last time, he seized the opportunity to impersonate Xin Youhuang in the Hundred Crafts Sect's grand formation, taking advantage of the Hundred Crafts Sect cultivators' low vigilance to trick them into opening the formation and thus gaining entry.

Under normal circumstances, even a fourth-order grand formation without a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge would be difficult for an ordinary True Monarch to conquer if aided by a spiritual treasure.

Moreover, the Blood Sea Sect's grand formation is connected to the Blood Sea, making it one of the most powerful fourth-order formations.

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. May I ask your name? I am Ma Chengguang, the head of the Liujia Sect."

A Core Formation cultivator with a full forehead, red face, and long beard stepped forward, bowed, and initiated a conversation.

"Zhongyu Li Hansi."

Bai Zichen maintained Li Hansi's aloof persona, not saying a single extra word.

"So you are a high-ranking Daoist from the Central Region. No wonder you have such an otherworldly air about you, like a banished immortal... Brother Li, did you also come here specifically to see what was about to happen after hearing about the great battle?"

Ma Chengguang didn't mind Li Hansi's coldness and continued to be proactive and enthusiastic.

Among the thousands of cultivators present, some were vassal forces of the Joyful Sect and the Blood Sea Sect, while others were neutral sects from Southern Chu. There were at least twenty or thirty Core Formation True Persons present.

However, Li Hansi is the only one who has reached the perfect Core Formation stage.

"If you ask me, this war won't break out. It's been almost half a year since the two sides made any new moves. I estimate that in the end, it will be resolved through negotiations between the higher-ups, with the most they'll get compensation for a few mines."

Ma Chengguang shook his head, looking like he was an expert in this field.

"It's better not to fight. If a fight really breaks out, it will involve countless sects. Sects like ours with no background will be in big trouble... Those with big ambitions want to take advantage of the chaos and expand their territory. It would be good enough if we could keep our sect intact."

"When a high-ranking cultivator loses his virtue, the world suffers greatly... All sects in the Central Region have a system of enfeoffment. Within three generations, unless they commit a grave offense that angers both Heaven and Man, they shall not be punished. In the future, any disputes or conflicts will be settled by a battle of True Monarchs, and it will rarely involve lower-ranking cultivators."

Li Hansi had a cold expression, slightly raised his head, and looked aloof and arrogant.

Ma Chengguang cursed inwardly. As expected of cultivators from the Central Region, they were all arrogant and annoying, regarding the other four regions as country bumpkins.

However, he kept his expression unchanged and continued to try to find topics to talk about, hoping to get information out of the other party to see if he was a rogue cultivator from the Central Region or from a major sect.

The Six Jia Sect appears to be a family-run sect. A thousand years ago, its founding ancestor, a rogue cultivator, was fortunate enough to obtain a legacy during an exploration of ancient ruins. He cultivated to the Core Formation stage and established the legacy. It is one of the most inconspicuous Core Formation-level sects in Southern Chu.

Behind the scenes, it was actually the biological son of the then-leader of the Blood Sea Sect who came up with this idea because he was not suitable to cultivate the Hundred Fiends Blood Sea Great Art.

In order to give him a legitimate identity, they even spread rumors to attract hundreds of rogue cultivators to explore the ruins, so that the inheritance would naturally fall into the hands of the sect leader's son.

On the surface, the Six Jia Sect and the Blood Sea Sect have no connection whatsoever, and the Six Jia Sect is even somewhat aligned with the Taiyi Sect.

In reality, each generation of sect leader knows their own origins, and they are considered a hidden branch of the Blood Sea Sect.

Ma Chengguang was jumping around outside the Blood Sea Sect's mountain gate, trying to find out exactly how many vassal forces the Joyful Sect had mobilized this time, and whether they had invited any outside helpers.

If a war of annihilation at the sect level were to truly break out, without tens of thousands of cannon fodder cultivators standing in front, even the outer restrictions of the Blood Sea Sect's great formation would probably not be able to shake.

The two were chatting casually when Ma Chengguang realized that he hadn't managed to extract any useful information. Instead, he had let the other party know a lot of details about the conflict between the Joyful Sect and the Blood Sea Sect.

Knowing this person was not easily fooled, I was about to take my leave.

"Master Li, it's been a long time. How come you've also come to Southern Chu? Didn't you say you were going to the Northern Region last time?"

Several cultivators walked up from the foot of the mountain, looking travel-worn. The leader was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a Taoist crown tied in a bun, with a lightning mark on each side.

He wore a wide, flowing Taoist robe, with the Five Thunders and Eight Trigrams on his chest and the Heavenly Divine Thunder on his back.

This old man was also at the peak of the Core Formation stage. He looked to be in his eighties, but he was still very energetic and had bright eyes.

Bai Zichen's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he had run into an old friend of 'Li Hansi'.

The Heavenly Illusion Bracelet could change its appearance without leaving a trace among the group of cultivators who did not have a Nascent Soul True Monarch. The only fear was running into someone they knew.

After a few words, if a person's conversational habits and behavior are completely different, it will naturally arouse suspicion.

Although being exposed wasn't a big deal, even if everyone swarmed at him, they wouldn't be able to hurt him in the slightest.

However, Bai Zichen also wanted to use the identity of 'Li Hansi' to infiltrate the Fish-Dragon Sect team and open the Immortal Cave in the outer sea.

That place yielded the essence of a sacred beast and the legacy of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword. Just imagine how amazing the remaining treasures must be.

"Why is the Five Thunder Sect here too?"

"I've heard that the Five Thunder Sect and the Blood Sea Sect have always been at odds. Could it be that they also want to get involved...? That old man is Lan Qingyun, an outer sect elder of the Five Thunder Sect. His Great Sun Divine Thunder technique is incredibly advanced, reaching the point where thunder magic possesses a spirit and yin and yang are in harmony. If it weren't for his advanced age, his probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would rank among the top three in the Five Thunder Sect!"

"But even if it's a super sect in the Central Region, how can it arbitrarily interfere in our Southern Region's disputes... If this continues, where will we find refuge!"

Bai Zichen's ears twitched slightly. Relying on his divine sense, which was comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he heard all the whispers and discussions among the nearby cultivators.

The supposedly superior sound transmission encryption spell is utterly useless against a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Master Lan. The matter in the Northern Region has been resolved properly, and I've come to the Southern Region to purchase some spiritual items. I heard that something big has happened here, so I came to take a look."

Li Hansi bowed slightly, his expression unchanged, and said calmly.

"Unexpectedly, I met an old friend in a foreign land. It's been many years since we last saw each other..."

Just as Lan Qingyun was about to start a conversation, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the giant cloud-shaped imperial carriage that was flying away and then stopped, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I have important matters to attend to. I will come to visit you again after I have finished here... There may be some trouble ahead, so I will try to stay away as far as possible."

After speaking, he led a group of Five Thunder Sect disciples to the cloud platform where flower petals were scattered and celestial music was playing.

'Li Hansi is doing quite well in the Central Region. As a rogue cultivator, he can actually sit and discuss Dao with an outer elder of the Five Thunder Sect… If the Fish Dragon Sect hadn't been destroyed, with his talent, he would have had a considerable chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.'

Bai Zichen secretly rejoiced that the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Joyful Sect was present.

If they continued talking, he wouldn't know anything about the past relationship between 'Li Hansi' and Lan Qingyun, and he would definitely be exposed.

Ma Chengguang moved his feet, abandoning his idea of ​​striking up a conversation.

A cultivator who is acquainted with an outer sect elder of the Five Thunder Sect is probably from a decent background.

The key is that cloud platform, which signifies the departure of the Bodhisattva of the Joyful Sect, and the arrival of a Nascent Soul True Lord, which suggests that something big is about to happen.

The Dharma carriage of Yuntai did not seem to move quickly, but it arrived in a short while, with male and female disciples standing in two rows on either side.

The curtain was lifted, and a woman in a white veil, with an elegant demeanor and stunning beauty, stepped down barefoot.

Behind her followed a divine general who was over ten feet tall and a beautiful female cultivator dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The moment the three appeared, the cultivators present gasped in astonishment.

I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous all night; I don't know if I've caught something.

In times of frequent illness, fellow practitioners, please take good care of yourselves.
