Born with immortal seed

Chapter 482 The war begins

The fact that a woman in white gauze and barefoot could stand before a Bodhisattva and a deity already makes her identity obvious.

She was none other than the legendary, elusive goddess of the Joyful Sect, who always kept to herself and rarely ventured out of the public eye.

In the vast Southern Region, only three Great True Lords can be proven to still exist.

If Xuan Nu hadn't been so inactive, the Joyful Sect wouldn't have been so powerless when facing the Blood Sea Sect in the past.

Judging from the current situation, with the arrival of the Mysterious Maiden, along with two Bodhisattvas and two Divine Generals, and aside from one Bodhisattva guarding the mountain gate, the Joyful Sect can be said to have mobilized its entire force.

The answer was clear to everyone: a major battle was likely imminent.

"Lan Qingyun of the Five Thunder Sect pays respects to the Mysterious Maiden."

Lan Qingyun, along with his disciples, stepped forward to pay their respects.

"No need for formalities, how is the Great True Lord of September?"

The goddess's face was compassionate and holy, and her voice had the power to soothe people's hearts.

"Our ancestor is currently comprehending the Great Dao of Thunder in the Thunder Pool Cave Heaven, and has specially instructed this junior to send his greetings to the Mysterious Maiden."

Lan Qingyun was completely bewildered, wondering why the Great True Monarch of September, known as the number one radar expert in the cultivation world, would suddenly send out such a task.

Their Five Thunder Sect inherits the righteous teachings of the Thunder God, and the overall style of the sect leans towards the righteous path. Logically, they should not have any connection with demonic sects.

The Joyful Sect is famous for its dual cultivation techniques, which emphasize the cultivation of both body and spirit, and the fusion of body and soul.

However, being a demonic being, one would not naturally follow the ancient path of dual cultivation, which allows one to benefit from both sides gradually. Instead, one would engage in excessive sexual activity and relentless exploitation.

Regardless of gender, anyone who falls into the hands of a cultivator from the Joyful Sect will not have a good ending.

They are basically drained of their essence and rendered useless before they are abandoned.

Therefore, the Joyful Sect has a notorious reputation in the cultivation world, and even among the demonic sects, many people keep their distance from them.

However, the Great True Monarch of September had reached the Nascent Soul stage and cultivated five of the seventeen True Meaning Thunder Techniques of the Five Thunder Sect on his own. He also cultivated the Innate Thunder Virtue True Body in the Thunder Pool Cave Heaven, making him a powerful figure in the Central Region, where many strong individuals emerged.

The disciples of the sect all knew very well that the Nascent Soul Ancestor, who had not appeared for nearly four thousand years, could not possibly still be alive. The Great True Monarch of September was, in fact, the number one person in the sect.

His orders, no matter how bizarre or outrageous, had to be obeyed.

In fact, apart from a handful of people like the Great True Lord of the Moral Sect, the chances of other people in the cultivation world becoming a deity are no greater than those of the Great True Lord of September.

"By the decree of the Ancestor, this junior has brought the fourth-order array diagram, the Myriad Thunder Dragon Transformation Diagram, which is extremely effective against blood-path techniques. Several blood-escape divine abilities cannot be used within the array diagram."

The Myriad Thunder Dragon Transformation Diagram is a one-time consumable item, and only the Great True Monarch of the Nine Months Sect has the ability to refine it.

Once activated, it's like having a portable fourth-tier formation, still geared towards offensive and killing tactics.

It takes at least twenty or thirty years to refine a single array diagram. The Great True Monarch of September was in the deepest part of the Thunder Pool Cave Heaven, where he transformed himself into thunder and merged into the Great Dao of Thunder.

Strive to take one more step before your lifespan runs out and achieve the Transformation of Godhood.

For him, every moment is precious, and he stopped creating the Myriad Thunder Dragon Transformation Diagram many years ago.

This has led to such array diagrams becoming extremely rare even within the Five Thunder Sect, with only a few remaining as rare treasures.

"Good. With the help of the Myriad Thunder Dragon Transformation Diagram, we can cripple half of the Blood Sea Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator's abilities... After returning, please tell the Great True Lord that I have never forgotten the promise made back then. When the time is right, I will send the promised item to your sect."

The Mysterious Maiden clearly had a secret past agreement with the Great True Lord of September, and said to the person behind her:

"Ruoxi, take the fellow Daoists from the Five Thunder Sect down to rest. We'll ask them for help when we attack the Blood Sea Sect's mountain gate."

"Yes."

Ruoxi, a beautiful female cultivator with the title of Bodhisattva, was following behind Xuan Nu. She giggled and trembled slightly, captivating everyone's attention.

"Everyone, follow me."

"Thank you, Mysterious Maiden, thank you, Bodhisattva."

Lan Qingyun lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the Huanxi Sect Nascent Soul whose fair skin was faintly visible, and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in his heart.

If one falls into the trap and is aroused by lust, one may be so exhausted by the act of sexual exploitation that one's essence is severely depleted when leaving.

Hearing the heavy breathing of his fellow disciples behind him, he knew that some of them were not as skilled as him and had probably already made a fool of themselves.

He quickly let out a soft shout and made a thunderous gesture, as if a thunderclap exploded in everyone's ears.

This brought the few Core Formation cultivators from the Five Thunder Sect back to their senses, causing them to calm down and cautiously follow behind.

"After all, we came representing the Five Thunder Sect, so these Nascent Soul cultivators from the Joyful Sect couldn't possibly have used any underhanded methods. But even without resorting to seductive arts, some of our junior brothers couldn't resist the temptation and went to us willingly. Even if their essence was drained, it would be difficult for the sect to handle the situation back home."

Lan Qingyun became secretly wary and decided to repeatedly instruct his fellow disciples not to have any private contact with cultivators from the Joyful Sect.

If such a disgraceful incident were to occur, it would be a disgrace to the Five Thunder Sect.

"Three days, three days later, we'll set up an array to attack the mountain... We'll use the array-breaking bead to sever their earth veins. Let's see if Blood God Child can still be a coward!"

Xuan Nu had no time to pay attention to the petty actions of her subordinates, trusting that her junior sister would act with discretion in the face of a formidable enemy.

It wouldn't be wise to target an important ally for sexual exploitation at a time like this. Even under normal circumstances, sexually exploiting an outer elder of a super sect wouldn't be a good choice.

The Joyful Sect's targets are often rogue cultivators who have risen through hard work, scions of cultivation families with some talent, and mid-level cultivators from various sects.

Although at the Nascent Soul level, inferior targets for sexual enhancement are no longer of any use.

Just like Ruoxi, if she could successfully absorb the essence of a Great True Lord, she would probably be able to break through her bottleneck of many years and advance to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm immediately.

The Joyful Sect generally wouldn't touch cultivators from super sects or forces capable of reaching the Divine Transformation level.

It's not that I don't have the idea, but that I lack the ability.

Once upon a time, a mysterious maiden seduced a holy son of the Moral Sect, enraging the sect's peak master and nearly causing the Joyful Sect to cease to exist.

Since then, the operational methods of the Joyful Sect have undergone significant changes.

For those top-level cultivators, the focus is no longer solely on sexual exploitation, but rather on working together for mutual benefit.

……

Three days later, the cultivators of the Joyful Sect set up their battle formation, and the killing intent in their swords subsided.

The Mystic Maiden flew to the front of the Blood Sea Sect's mountain gate and manifested a realm that turned out to be a misty fairyland, with countless palaces and pavilions amidst white clouds and rosy hues.

A pure light emanated from his body, and his holy and compassionate appearance grew even stronger, while celestial music emanated from the realm.

The sonic waves directly severed the blood river within the great formation, erecting a high wall.

It should be noted that this river of blood is connected to the mysterious sea of ​​blood, and can draw power from the sea of ​​blood at any time.

This means that the Blood Sea Sect's protective array has no worries about running out of spiritual energy or running out of power; it is practically a perpetual motion machine with an inexhaustible supply.

The moment the Blood River was severed, Xuan Nu threw out a black bead exuding a terrifying aura, intending to strike the connection point of the great formation's operation.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the entire formation—no, the entire mountain range—seemed to overturn.

The mountains and rivers shifted, the terrain changed, and several towering peaks turned into deep pits.

The fourth-tier array-breaking bead is specifically designed to break through high-level arrays that are as solid as a rock and have been built for eternity. It directly destroys the earth's veins, and its power is terrifying.

Several flaws immediately appeared in the Blood Sea Sect's grand formation. The two divine generals of the Joyful Sect shouted and transformed into ancient giants, leading their battle formation forward to attack.

Male cultivators of the Joyful Sect, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, all follow the path of body refinement. Other cultivation methods have upper limits, and the highest they can cultivate is only to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

There are only two body-refining techniques that can lead directly to the Nascent Soul stage, indicating great potential.

In an instant, fierce attacks rained down on the Blood Sea Sect's great formation, which was already on the verge of collapse.

If you only defend, even a fourth-tier formation will have weaknesses that can be found, or areas that can be targeted.

Given their millennia-long rivalry, how could the Joyful Sect not treat everything about the Blood Sea Sect as top secret and meticulously study it?

Three towering beams of blood-red light shot into the sky, instantly invigorating the Blood Sea Sect's grand formation.

"As I thought, then there's no need to hold back anymore!"

Xuan Nu was not surprised but delighted. If the Blood God True Lord still had normal combat power, he should have appeared long ago.

Furthermore, the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword, originating from the Blood Sea, plays a role in the formation that surpasses that of an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch.

If either of these two conditions is met, Xuan Nu will order a retreat without even turning her head.

At this point, only three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Blood Sea Sect have appeared, indicating that something serious must have happened.

"Another Nascent Soul True Monarch has been lost besides the Blood God Child. Could it be that Heaven is truly blessing our Joyful Sect!"

Xuan Nu transmitted her voice, and two Bodhisattvas flew out from the rear formation, also unleashing their domains and no longer holding back.

"The cultivation method of the Joyful Sect is truly peculiar. If you call it a demonic cultivation method of absorbing malevolent energy, then the Mysterious Maiden is filled with holy aura, without a trace of evil... The other two female cultivators are much inferior. In the realm, celestial maidens dance seductively, undressing and engaging in acts of pleasure. As long as one's mind is firm and one embraces simplicity, one does not necessarily need a high level of cultivation to escape the temptation of seductive arts."

Bai Zichen stood at a distance, analyzing and judging in his mind.

Those alluring female cultivators who stirred up fantasies were rejected; instead, pure white petals fell from the realm, making the aloof and noble Xuan Nu even more terrifying.

Despite being without makeup and without using any seductive arts, she possesses a unique allure beneath her holy radiance.

Bai Zichen had a feeling that even if the Great True Lord fell into the love affair with the Mysterious Maiden, he would find it difficult to extricate himself.

Moreover, it's not just about being infatuated with beauty and having sexual relations; he develops genuine feelings for the goddess, even to the point of madness and obsession, willing to sacrifice everything for her.

"No wonder they were able to become a long-lasting Nascent Soul sect by relying on the art of 'dual cultivation'; their cultivation methods are indeed different from ordinary dual cultivation sects..."

Bai Zichen casually pointed at a Core Formation cultivator who was rushing towards him. Without using any magic weapon, he grabbed the flying double forks, twisted them into a pretzel shape, and then punched the young cultivator blocking his way into the ground.

As the Joyful Sect launched its attack, the onlookers on several nearby hilltops also began a chaotic battle based on their respective factions.

Seeing that the Blood God True Lord had not yet appeared, Bai Zichen prepared to leave.

Even with such a clear disadvantage, with the earth veins completely destroyed by the array-breaking bead, this fourth-order array can at least hold out for ten days to half a month.

If the Blood Sea Sect has other methods, this time could be extended even further.

Three Nascent Soul True Monarchs cannot directly confront the Joyful Sect, but within the formation, their effectiveness will far exceed their strength.
