Born with immortal seed

Chapter 490 Undying Cave True Bone

Do not believe!

The spirit of the Linglong Hunyuan Pagoda was clearly inferior to that of the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword and the Abitianyu Demon Sword, as it could not translate thoughts into words.

Like the Moonlit Sword and the Fragrance Sword, it can only convey emotions.

The emotions that arose in his mind were filled with doubt, as if he scoffed at the idea that he had advanced to the Divine Transformation stage.

The Exquisite Primordial Tower was bestowed upon its descendants by the old dragon who had transformed into a god. It has witnessed the rise of many demon prodigies who, confident in their noble bloodlines and extraordinary talents, have become extremely confident after overcoming the tribulation of human transformation.

They all had high hopes for reaching the Nascent Soul realm, but in the end, they either died halfway or failed to break through even one level after hundreds of years.

While demons in human form have long lifespans, the actual time they have to break through and advance is not as long as one might imagine.

There is a saying among the demon race that if someone has not reached the fourth-tier high-grade level after a thousand years of human transformation, they have no hope of reaching the fifth tier in this lifetime.

In the eyes of the Linglong Hunyuan Tower, this new master possessed extraordinary combat power, ranking first among all the demon race prodigies it had followed.

But the path to immortality, when it comes to its end, ultimately comes down to the cultivation of one's spiritual power.

All kinds of spells, thousands of supernatural powers, and supreme sword techniques are merely protective skills.

It can make your path to immortality smoother and grant you more cultivation resources than your peers.

But fate is unpredictable, and the path to enlightenment is arduous; some things are simply not meant to be, and cannot be forced.

The most obvious example is the several exceptionally talented sword cultivators in the history of the Taibai Sword Sect. Many of them possessed talent and swordsmanship comparable to the Star River Sword Lord, and some even had the feat of shaking the Divine Transformation Realm with their swords in the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, he could not overcome the insurmountable barrier of the Divine Transformation Realm, and eventually turned into a handful of yellow earth a thousand years later.

The Star River Sword Lord holds such a high position in the Taibai Sword Sect and is regarded as the hope of the Nascent Soul stage. In addition to creating the Star River Sword Formation, he has also cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage at the age of just over five hundred, which means he has ample time to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Unfortunately, before they could reach the final step, they perished together with the extraterrestrial demon jade.

"What, do you think I'm incapable of cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Bai Zichen chuckled to himself. He was unsure about his cultivation level after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but if even he lacked confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, then no one else in the cultivation world had any hope.

At his current cultivation progress, even without any fortuitous encounters or any improvement in cultivation speed, he can still cultivate step by step to the Nascent Soul stage at around six hundred years old.

With at least four hundred years of preparation time and the assistance of a mysterious sacred body, it would be surprising if they couldn't even break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

When the Supreme Pure Sword Box was opened, thirteen flying swords lay quietly inside.

The Purple Star Thunder Sword and the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword each occupied one end, while the remaining flying swords were arranged on the left and right, like two rows of underlings.

"Even fifth-tier flying swords see my potential and have recognized me as their master. Do you think your judgment can surpass theirs?"

Although the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword has been placed in its sword box, it is bound by an agreement and has not yet truly recognized its master, nor can it be activated or used.

However, with the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword present, this statement isn't entirely untrue.

Upon closer examination, Xiao Zi's rank is actually above the fifth rank, yet she still recognized a master.

The Linglong Hunyuan Pagoda couldn't distinguish them; it only saw the fifth-order flying sword obediently placed in the sword box, which greatly shocked it.

Even if it is promoted to a Heavenly Treasure, it is still a long way from becoming a fifth-tier flying sword.

Within this box of flying swords alone, I sensed several other flying swords whose auras were no less than mine.

They suddenly had a better understanding of Bai Zichen's future prospects; it was already quite fortunate that he had the favor of a fourth-tier flying sword.

With so many flying swords coming one after another, including a fifth-tier flying sword equivalent to a top-grade Heavenly Treasure, it's like a promising stock that countless others in the same category are optimistic about.

The Linglong Hunyuan Pagoda even felt a little nervous. The immense power of heaven and earth that the master had drawn upon when his grotto-heaven took shape after his successful transformation into a deity was only enough to power up one magic weapon.

There are already quite a few treasures of the same level as him, and the new master is obviously a sword cultivator, so upgrading to a fifth-level flying sword would be more useful to him.

Its only advantage is that it is a Void Treasure.

If it can truly be elevated to a celestial treasure, it will be of great use in resisting spatial turbulence.

However, in the mortal realm where even reaching the Nascent Soul stage is almost a miracle, ascending to the Upper Realm is generally considered a suicidal act, and since the Middle Ages, the only example of someone who has successfully ascended in the entire cultivation world is the Sword Master Taibai.

The vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators have shifted their focus from researching more stable void nodes to increasing the success rate of ascension to developing their grotto-heavens and evolving them into a more perfect world to extend their lifespan.

Some people have even turned to the demonic path, researching the secrets of reincarnation and rebirth in order to achieve an alternative form of immortality.

If one cannot reach the point of ascending to the upper realm and overcoming spatial turbulence, the effect of a Heavenly Treasure-level Void Treasure is definitely inferior to that of a fifth-tier flying sword.

Upon realizing this, the Linglong Hunyuan Pagoda felt a sense of urgency and opened its arms wide, allowing the speed of true essence refining to increase significantly.

Several days later, there was a loud crash.

The lid of the pagoda flew off, cracking open a spatial rift that revealed a stable space.

A quick glance revealed a dazzling golden light, radiating a powerful spiritual aura.

"Good heavens, it's a world unto itself, just like a realm... However, realms can be expanded and developed, but this space will always be this size unless the Linglong Hunyuan Tower advances."

Bai Zichen was pleased that Ao Zhe had the habit of storing some of his belongings in a Void Treasure; otherwise, with its death and the collapse of the realm, he would have gained nothing.

"We need to find a spell that can temporarily solidify the domain of the dead cultivators, otherwise we will definitely encounter similar incidents frequently in the future."

During his Core Formation stage, he was known as the Core Formation Assassin.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is believed that the same will apply.

In just a few years, several Nascent Soul True Monarchs have died directly or indirectly at his hands.

Such situations are more likely to occur when someone possesses the strength to fight against opponents of a higher level.

Thinking of Lü Siwei's ability to tear apart the Blood Sea Sect's Nascent Soul Realm with his bare hands, she felt envious; he was simply a perfect match for her.

Inside the Linglong Hunyuan Pagoda, there are several bottles of golden pills, each as large as a longan and ringing like metal when struck.

"What kind of pill is this? I'll have to find a master alchemist to identify it..."

Bai Zichen had limited knowledge of alchemy, and the pills that could appear on a transformed demon were certainly not ordinary.

Moreover, the alchemy techniques of the demon race are quite different from those of the human race, and they have their own unique methods.

What might be a panacea for demons becomes a deadly poison for human cultivators.

There were also three rolls of dragon skin and hundreds of dragon scales, which were probably all shed from Ao Zhe's own body.

There were also hundreds of crystals, all radiating a faint dragon's might. These were the legendary dragon crystals, which were said to only be formed on the remains of fifth-tier dragon beasts.

This dragon crystal has no effect on other demonic beasts, but it is like celestial nectar to all demonic beasts with dragon blood.

Each one refined will greatly increase one's cultivation level.

At the very center is a dragon skin, which is distinctly different from the other three scrolls; it is more worn and has a greater sense of age.

Above it is a row of large, simple, square characters, as if they were smeared with blood-red paint, written in a sloppy and casual manner, even showing traces of half-finished painting.

But each character emanated an obscure, ethereal light, like vortexes that drew his gaze in, from which he could never pull away.

"Great Dragon Seal!"

Bai Zichen exclaimed in surprise, folding the dragon skin in half to cover the brilliance of the divine runes.

As one of the most powerful divine runes of the demon race, the Great Dragon Rune is synonymous with immense power. Only the purest bloodline of the dragon race can comprehend several divine runes when advancing to the fifth rank.

When his Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture mutated after first fusing with the aura of a sacred beast, two and a half Great Mighty Dragon Chapters condensed on the back of that fire dragon.

"The Great Mighty Dragon Seal and the Great Virtuous Phoenix Seal are even older than the Flower and Bird Seal. Even within the demon race, few people can master them, let alone the human race... I guess this Ao Zhe was given this dragon skin because of his special identity as a descendant of the Nascent Soul Dragon."

Bai Zichen stroked it back and forth, feeling a sense of disappointment, like someone who had entered a treasure mountain but returned empty-handed.

For high-level demons, this is definitely a priceless treasure. Even if they don't understand the Great Dragon Chapter, they might be able to comprehend some kind of bloodline supernatural power by comprehending it day and night.

However, a human cultivator, without mastering the Great Dragon Chapter, would not gain anything even if he studied for a hundred years.

"If I can learn the Great Dragon Chapter and understand the function of these divine runes, my Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture may be able to reach a new level. Even if I have to change my main cultivation method in the future, as long as I can improve my fire spiritual root, that will be the greatest gain."

In the world of cultivation, the only one who is absolutely certain of the Great Mighty Dragon Chapter is probably that old dragon from the outer sea who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, the Black Sea Supreme and King of Ten Thousand Demons mentioned by Ao Zhe.

Besides, the Lord of the Dead Sea of ​​Qingqiu and the possible Nascent Soul Demon Lords of Rotten Axe Mountain might not even know this.

The Great Dragon Script is the supreme divine script of the True Dragon Clan.

Having just killed someone's descendant and possessing the essence of a sacred beast, to run to someone's territory to seek guidance from the Great Dragon Chapter—even the most insane cultivator wouldn't do such a thing.

The dragon runes on this dragon skin can only be studied later, when the opportunity arises.

It took almost six months to refine the two spiritual treasures, the Exquisite Primordial Tower and the Coiled Dragon Black Gold Spear.

The latter is another story; it's foreseeable that it won't have any use.

With several fourth-tier flying swords available, low-grade spiritual treasures obviously have no chance of being used.

As a top-grade spiritual treasure and a void treasure, the former still occupies a relatively important position in Bai Zichen's eyes.

Especially when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch again in the future, using this treasure to seal the space beforehand will prevent the awkward situation of being able to win but not kill.

"Of course, we must first find out the details of our opponent... We must not end up like Ao Zhe, who thought he had trapped his opponent but actually got himself into a trap and lost his life."

The Panlong Black Gold Spear was taken into the realm, while the Linglong Hunyuan Pagoda remained in the dantian's qi sea, showing a clear distinction in treatment.

Only at the very end did they have time to deal with the enormous black dragon's body.

A mountain of flesh and blood, bones that still exude majesty even after death, and a bottle of refined blood essence.

"I hope Ao Zhe possesses an indestructible body, so that I can refine the Indestructible Cave True Bone... I've made quite a few enemies lately, so I need to have more means of protection to feel at ease."

Bai Zichen had already made up his mind: he would leave the flesh and blood for Gun Gun to eat. He didn't believe that feeding him with so much dragon meat from a mid-grade fourth-tier demon wouldn't raise the level of his own spirit beast.

This skeleton can remain in the realm for now; it's fine as a decoration.

Simply dismantling dragon bones to refine magical artifacts would be a waste, and he doesn't lack ordinary magical artifacts now.

In the puppet inheritance he obtained, there was a method for creating a fourth-tier puppet that required the complete skeleton of a transformed great demon.

If suitable conditions arise in the future, turning it into a fourth-tier puppet might be even more useful.

The Undying Cave True Bone, sternum, is a reference to a single immortal bone of the Undying Body.

Once mastered, limbs can regenerate and even the head can be removed and the user can continue to move freely.

Even the most severe injuries can be healed instantly.

Of course, this will deplete your vital energy and blood.

Even if the physical body is completely destroyed, leaving only the nascent soul to escape, as long as a drop of essence blood is preserved beforehand, the physical body can be reassembled.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, there is no need to possess another body to rebuild it. The benefits of this are numerous.

Of course, the incredible power of rebirth through a drop of blood must have strict limitations.

After being used once, the Immortal Cave True Bone will disappear on its own, and it cannot be refined again for a hundred years.

Following the cultivation method of the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, Bai Zichen absorbed the essence blood and condensed it on his sternum.

Countless blood mists gathered and dispersed, constantly refining and transforming the sternum.

It changed from its original shimmering jade color to a deep, dark black, as black as night.

After another hundred days, the sternum will turn pure white, warm and smooth like jade.

After repeating this process three times, the entire bone finally developed a dual texture, alternating between black and white.

You can clearly feel that this bone is very different from the previous one.

Furthermore, it resonates with the Sun Yuan Bronze Bone on the shoulder and the Heavenly Might Star Bone on the forehead, creating a subtle connection between the three immortal bones.

"What a wonderful dragon! Not only did it give me treasures, it also sacrificed itself to help me cultivate immortal bones... Otherwise, I really wouldn't know where to find a demon beast with an indestructible body."

The completion of the Undying Cave True Bone proves that Ao Zhe indeed possesses an indestructible body, rather than a slightly weaker self-healing body.

No wonder he was able to withstand the Star River Sword Formation for so long with his bare body.

As long as it doesn't face the second-best sword formation in the world passed down by the Taibai Sword Sect, it can escape no matter what.

Bai Zichen essentially killed Ao Zhe more than ten times within the Star River Sword Formation before breaking its indestructible body.

Even a Great True Monarch might not have enough power to create a cave heaven.

"The Blood Sea Sect has been destroyed, the transformed demon of the Starry Sea has died in Southern Chu, and the Blood God True Monarch is suspected of being possessed by demonic thoughts... The Southern Region will definitely be in turmoil for some time to come. Especially the matter of transforming the Demonic Land, I'm afraid even the Morality Sect will send people over."

Before coming to the Southern Region, Bai Zichen never expected to stay here for so long and encounter so many unexpected events.

He only wanted to give Qingmu Zhenren a demon-repelling elixir to help him get rid of the demonic fire and cure his serious illness before heading to the Central Region.

"However, by a twist of fate, I mastered the Star River Sword Formation in the Southern Region and obtained a fifth-tier flying sword, or at least half of one... This shows that one can gain something not only by traveling in the Central Region."

Bai Zichen examined himself and realized that what he had gained in the short few years since arriving in the Southern Region was comparable to what he had gained in the nearly one hundred years in the Northern Region.

Of course, this is also closely related to his rising cultivation level and the increasingly powerful groups he comes into contact with.

"If we can't find a suitable cultivation technique in the Central Region, we can consider going to the Eastern and Western Regions... But let's put the Eastern Region aside for now, it's too close to the outer sea. If our whereabouts are exposed, that old Nascent Soul dragon might come to kill us."

Even if the Nascent Soul Dragon resides in the eye of the ten-thousand-foot-deep water and cannot leave, the Dragon Lord, who is already at the peak of the fourth rank, is more eager for the essence blood of the sacred beast than ever before, and is more likely to lose patience.

Even though he had mastered the Star River Formation, Bai Zichen was still somewhat apprehensive about dealing with a peak fourth-tier demon.

As the lord of the Starry Sea, it's hard to guarantee that the Dragon Lord possesses a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, so his strength needs to be assessed further.
