Born with immortal seed

Chapter 503 The Six Star Lords
"I should have chosen the Sun God Mask, so we could have had a pair..."

Bai Zichen memorized the Heavenly Book of Sun Summoning Gods. The opening of this technique states that one should refine the divine light of the sun and condense the body of the sun star god. Upon reaching the God Transformation stage, one becomes a small sun star.

Boundless light and heat, overwhelming blazing power, wielding the power of fire.

It appears to be the inherited technique of the Sun Star Lord, a perfect match.

If there's any drawback, it's just one, but it's so serious that it immediately made him hesitate.

Once a path is chosen, it becomes fixed, and the main cultivation method cannot be changed.

We must stick to the Fire Road to the bitter end; there is no other way.

Bai Zichen's expression was uncertain as he tapped his index finger, deep in thought.

The book of the Sun Summoning Gods in his sea of ​​consciousness had become a great sun, soaring into the dome and hanging high in the sky.

Once divine sense penetrates, it will naturally transform back into the text of the cultivation technique and appear before your eyes.

Of the hundred Nascent Soul True Monarchs without the Transformation Technique, ninety-nine would readily switch to cultivation as long as they met the cultivation requirements of the Sun Summoning God Heavenly Book.

Bai Zichen was the one who hesitated, not because he was worried about not being able to master the technique.

The Sun Summoning God Heavenly Book says that to overcome difficulties, one must understand the stars and the true meaning of the Great Sun, and even more importantly, have the spirit to emulate the Great Sun.

Failed cultivators are those who failed to grasp its essence and treated it merely as an ordinary fire-based technique.

He was confident that by cultivating the Sun Summoning God Heavenly Book, he could quickly reach the Nascent Soul stage and break through to the Deity Transformation stage by following the path of his predecessors step by step.

However, directly restricting future development means that even if one obtains a non-fire-based cultivation method that better suits them, they cannot change their path, which would be too high a price to pay.

Bai Zichen, who was aiming for longevity and eternal life, would never be satisfied with just the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This limitation meant that even if he obtained the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture in the future, he would have no chance to cultivate it further.

"The mask was chosen based on my intuition, which might be a sign from the depths of my being that I shouldn't cultivate the Sun God Summoning Heavenly Book?"

After much deliberation, Bai Zichen decided to keep it for now and see how it goes, since the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture would allow him to cultivate to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, with his own mysterious sacred body, he will be able to successfully break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Only at that time will it be necessary to make a decision on whether or not to cultivate the Sun Summoning God Heavenly Book.

Perhaps during this period of time, he will be able to obtain a more suitable Nascent Soul cultivation technique, thus resolving his dilemma.

Bai Zichen turned around and sat down under the statue of the Taiyin Star God, beginning to comprehend the next stage of the Nascent Soul cultivation technique.

Regardless of whether one chooses to cultivate or not, every Nascent Soul cultivation technique is priceless.

Even super sects usually only have one or two Nascent Soul cultivation techniques passed down.

That's why the Star Lord Po Jun said back then that even if you don't lack cultivation techniques, you can still learn by analogy and make progress.

Especially for Bai Zichen, since there is no Nascent Soul inheritance left in the sect and he has to rely entirely on his own efforts, he cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

If one is truly forced to take the most difficult path of creating one's own cultivation method in the future, a sufficiently broad knowledge is an essential condition.

Each member of the Star Palace has a vow that they must not teach the three major inherited techniques of the Star Palace to outsiders without authorization.

Otherwise, the Qingfeng Sect could have gained three more Nascent Soul inheritances at once.

Sitting beneath the statue of the Taiyin Goddess for half a day, yet no cultivation technique had surfaced in his mind, Bai Zichen seemed lost in thought, then opened his eyes and looked towards the distant palace gate.

A tall, slender female cultivator with thick, black hair that reached her waist approached. She moved silently, but the surrounding dark starlight seemed to resonate with the stars in the void, giving the feeling of a vast starry sky with every breath.

An exquisite mask covered her face, but she still looked stunningly beautiful, though with a touch of eeriness.

'Both are Star Lords, yet their masks are so different... one is freehand, the other meticulous; they don't seem to be from the same source.'

Bai Zichen thought to himself that he knew the identity of the person without even exchanging words. It was the star lord behind the statue, Taiyin Xingjun.

'There are even fewer female Nascent Soul sword cultivators in the Central Region, so you could probably guess her identity by process of elimination... However, this secret realm is special; it can be entered anytime, anywhere. It's possible that this Taiyin Star Lord isn't a cultivator from the Central Region.'

"Ziwei Star Lord... Taiyin greets Brother Ziwei. From now on, we are both members of the Star Palace. Please take good care of me."

The Moon Goddess paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself and bowed respectfully.

"Since I'm new here, it's probably because you've taken care of me... Let's help each other and benefit each other, and climb the path of the sword together."

Bai Zichen was wary; the other party's surprise didn't seem to be because of the addition of a new person.

The Star Palace Meeting was convened, and Po Jun Star Lord informed everyone in advance. It was impossible for Tai Yin Star Lord not to know that there would be a new member in the palace.

What surprised her was that the newcomer chose the identity of Ziwei Xingjun.

'Po Jun said all the masks are identical, without any difference. Is that a lie? Is Ziwei Xingjun different from the other star lords?'

Bai Zichen suppressed his curiosity, chatted with the Moon Goddess for a few moments, and soon quieted down.

Things in reality are best left unsaid, so the topics that two strangers could talk about were limited.

A moment later, a star lord with divine eyes on his forehead and a profound aura strode over.

The star deity glanced around, said nothing, and casually sat down on a jade stool.

Based on the appearance of the deity statue and the appearance of the person who came, Bai Zichen knew that this person should be Tianxiang Xingjun.

The silence in the hall did not last long before footsteps approached, and the three Star Lords appeared simultaneously.

Leading the group was the Star Lord Po Jun, with a man in a wide robe beside him, exuding a free and unrestrained air; this man was the Star Lord Ju Men.

The other person was a step behind, unassuming and unassuming, with an old-looking face; he was Tianliang Xingjun.

All six star deities of the Star Palace have now gathered.

Six Nascent Soul sword cultivators, including a fierce individual like Bai Zichen whose abilities can counter a Great True Monarch. If they were all in the same sect, many super sects might not be able to match them in terms of high-end combat power.

"Everyone, this is our Star Palace's newest member, the Ziwei Star Lord... Fellow Daoist Ziwei's swordsmanship is divine, and he is not far from the realm of sword light differentiation. I believe he will reach that level soon. The dream of the Star Palace's predecessors to open the core area of ​​the secret realm and witness the true inheritance of the Taibai Sword Sect may be realized in our hands!"

Everyone sat down at the long table, and Po Jun Xing Jun began his introduction with a hint of excitement.

"You're only at the early Nascent Soul stage, yet you dare to say you're not far from the sword light differentiation... Po Jun, don't misjudge again. Back then, you confidently said that Qi Sha would definitely obtain a fifth-tier flying sword, and you made us cooperate fully, but we gave up a lot of resources."

The Star Lord of Giant Gate and the Star Lord of Broken Army arrived at the same time, but it seems they don't get along, so they immediately started firing without giving the new member any face.

"And what happened? Qi Sha perished, and the fifth-tier flying sword never even appeared! If I hadn't given up on that Heaven-Mending Pill, I would have broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage long ago! A newcomer dared to choose the mask of the Lord of Stars, the Purple Star God, isn't he afraid that he can't suppress him!"

Bai Zichen found it amusing but didn't take it seriously.

It seems that the Star Palace is not a monolithic entity, which is normal. Even fellow disciples have their disagreements and disputes, let alone a secret organization that has come together for different reasons.

The Seven Killings Star Lord is Xiang Ji, and the fifth-order flying sword mentioned by the Giant Gate Star Lord should be the fifth-order Killing Demon Sword.

In the end, it was indeed successfully forged, but unfortunately Xiang Ji died on the spot, and the fifth-order flying sword flew back to his junior brother's side.

The Star Palace members put in a lot of effort during the sword forging process, but in the end they did not enjoy the benefits. They still need to find another fifth-tier flying sword to use as the key to open the core secret realm.

The differentiation of sword light represents the highest achievement in swordsmanship in the cultivation world, and those who have mastered it are all big shots in the cultivation world.

There are no more than five living sword cultivators who can reach this level, such as Ma You, the Five Phoenix Sword Emperor, and Li Changji of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

Suddenly a sword cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage appeared, saying he could achieve it soon. No wonder the Giant Gate Star Lord made sarcastic remarks.

"Giant Gate, stop talking nonsense!"

Po Jun Xingjun's expression changed slightly, and he said sternly.

If previously it was merely believed that Bai Zichen had a certain chance of reaching the realm of sword light differentiation, after witnessing his great victory over Xiang Banshan, Po Jun Xingjun was now absolutely convinced of this.

Sword cultivators who can fight beyond their level even at the Nascent Soul stage are extremely rare in the history of cultivation.

How could such a person be hindered by the splitting of sword light?

The only thing to consider is how much time it will take.

Ju Men Xing Jun's loose tongue offended Bai Zi Chen, causing Po Jun Xing Jun to feel anxious.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators generally have to show the respect due to a junior in front of a Great True Lord.

Bai Zichen's situation is that he is not a Great True Lord, but his status is even higher than that of a Great True Lord.

Po Jun Xing Jun was genuinely afraid that Ju Men Xing Jun might offend someone, but he couldn't reveal his true identity, so he could only take the blame upon himself.

"Regarding the Seven Kills matter, I did indeed have some oversights... but rest assured, the fifth-tier flying sword is in my hands, and significant progress has been made. It will take seven or eight years at the earliest, and fifty at the latest, to give you a clear answer. Besides, this is no longer the ancient era, where there is no distinction of rank among Star Lords. The order of mask selection should not be determined by the status of the Upper Realm Star Gods. Otherwise, if I were the first among everyone to become a Star Lord, why would I have chosen the Broken Army Star Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Ju Men Xing Jun snorted coldly and then fell silent.

Apart from this person, both Taiyin Xingjun and Tianliang Xingjun were very polite, showing a clear intention to befriend him.

Tianxiang Xingjun remained indifferent, merely nodding in acknowledgment, still showing no interest in further conversation.

It's unclear whether this is their true nature or a deliberate act after putting on a mask.

"Last time I left a message in the hall, wishing to collect ten flowers of wronged souls. I wonder if any fellow Daoist has managed to obtain them?"

The Moon Goddess stood up, her long, black hair flowing smoothly down like a waterfall.

It can still be done like this!

Bai Zichen's heart stirred. Taking advantage of the special way to enter and exit the trial realm, the Star Palace members' methods of communication would become much more convenient.

If anyone has a problem, they can leave a message on the light and shadow stone in the hall, and the other star lords will be able to see it when they enter.

In this way, it is not necessary for several people to be in the trial realm at the same time to complete the communication.

Of course, it certainly can't meet the requirements in terms of communication efficiency.

However, considering that the six people are actually scattered across the country, millions of miles apart, it is already quite good that this effect has been achieved.

Furthermore, once the Star God Mask is refined, the Star Lord can transmit his thoughts through the mask within a range of tens of thousands of miles without any obstruction.

Within this grand hall, summoning signals can also be sent to all the star deities.

However, while brief figures are possible, like in this impromptu meeting, more detailed communication is not feasible.

The Vengeful Spirit Flower is a fourth-tier spiritual flower that grows in the ghost realm where vengeful spirits gather. It requires a powerful, resentful spirit to merge into the flower's core at the very moment the flower blooms, under certain circumstances.

Thus, the flower's core becomes a cage, trapping the spirit within.

After blooming, withering, and dying, the Ghost Flower will eventually become a dried flower bud, emitting a mournful sound all day long.

Nature's wondrous craftsmanship endows it with numerous ingenious uses.

It can be used to refine magical artifacts, make elixirs and medicines... but its most famous use is to create a substitute spell.

Each of the vengeful spirit flowers can be refined into a substitute flower spirit, which can die once in place of the victim when suffering a fatal injury.

However, that kind of substitute spell is extremely difficult to cultivate. In addition to the Vengeful Spirit Flower, it also requires four or five other equally rare spiritual items. Very few people in the cultivation world can master it.

"Ten flowers are too many. I've been paying close attention these past few years, and I've only managed to get three..."

Tianliang Xingjun spoke slowly and deliberately, and three vengeful spirit flowers appeared in his palm.

The flowers were entirely black, exuding a sense of deathly stillness, like thick ink that could not be spread no matter what, with no light able to penetrate it.

On each flower, a wronged spirit is silently screaming, its expression terrified, frantically tearing at the petals.

"This is it! Even three of these would be good!"

The Moon Goddess spoke lightly, clearly relieved, indicating that the Vengeful Spirit Flower was quite important to her.

"Brother Dao, please just tell me what you wish to exchange."

"Take it first, just put it in the books... You know what I need, just let me know as soon as you find it. The rest of what you can offer is useless to me."

Tianliang Xingjun waved his hand, indicating that he did not ask for a price.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I will definitely repay you in the future!"

The Moon Goddess carefully placed the three flowers of wronged souls into jade boxes before sitting down.

Bai Zichen discovered that, in addition to the potential inheritance of the Taibai Sword Sect, the Star Palace offered quite a few other benefits.

At the very least, there are three Nascent Soul inheritances right in front of you, a Star Lord mask to conceal your identity, and a trial realm where you can freely enter and exit to save your life in critical moments.

The other five star lords are all good trading partners.

These five are all Nascent Soul sword cultivators. For example, Po Jun Xingjun's true identity is an elder of the Tianxing Sect, and the others must also have extraordinary identities.

The resources they can access, the treasures they possess, and the power that their sect can radiate outwards.

It's no exaggeration to regard Xinggong as a top-tier exchange society.

The six Star Lords are essentially equivalent to about twenty Nascent Soul True Lords exchanging positions.

Just like the Star Lord Po Jun, if he takes a fancy to a treasure, he can't produce the corresponding exchange item.

They could easily achieve their goals by utilizing the Tianxing Sect's treasury or through the channels of several fellow Nascent Soul cultivators.

You can fulfill some of your needs through the Xinggong platform.

"Seeking to purchase Celestial Star Silver Sand, the more the better. This purchase request is valid for the next hundred years... Payment can be made with top-grade spirit stones. Any other requirements can be discussed privately."

Tianxiang Star Lord stood up, stated his needs, and at the same time subtly glanced at Pojun Star Lord.

Bai Zichen's spirits lifted; finally, a familiar treasure had appeared, allowing him to feel somewhat involved.
