Born with immortal seed

Chapter 526: Extraterrestrial Demon
'Ubiquitous, seamless... with a single thought, the sword's light will reach.'

Holding the Azure Rhinoceros Sword, Bai Zichen was not surprised by the power of this fifth-order flying sword, nor was he astonished that his true essence was almost exhausted after the sword strike. Instead, he was impressed by the true meaning contained in the sword light.

"The difference between a fifth-tier flying sword and a fourth-tier flying sword is so great. Why didn't the Avici Hell Demon Sword manifest its power in the hands of the Blood God True Monarch? Was it unique to the Azure Rhinoceros Sword, or did that sword never truly recognize him as its master?"

If we say that magical artifacts, starting with Lingbao, possessed a spirit, they were able to operate autonomously without human intervention.

The Tongtian Lingbao is not only a spiritual sublimation, but also has the true meaning of the Great Dao integrated into it.

For example, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan represents the control of the power of fire.

With this fan in hand, the holder becomes the representative of the Fire Path in this world, possessing all the fire-elemental energy of heaven and earth.

Their control over this aspect is close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Compared to it, other cultivators couldn't even use fire spells.

The Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword initially possessed only pure and overwhelming destructive power, leading Bai Zichen to believe that all flying swords were the same, pursuing the ultimate killing and destruction, unlike other Heavenly Treasures which could carry the true meaning of the Great Dao and be used for their own purposes.

It now seems that the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword didn't take a liking to Blood God True Monarch and didn't truly open itself.

Otherwise, facing the Blood God True Monarch at that time would have been far more dangerous, and the outcome would have been uncertain.

The power of the Azure Rhinoceros Sword is simple: its sword light can reach anywhere within ten thousand miles in an instant.

It's somewhat like the application of spatial essence, but it's different; it's like having countless Azure Rhinoceros Swords ready to be used at any time.

With a mere thought, the Azure Rhinoceros Sword Light will descend upon the head of anyone within ten thousand miles.

Even with the limitations of a Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual sense range, it is difficult to accurately lock onto targets that are too far away.

With the help of the fifth-tier flying sword's extraordinary power, combined with the sweeping attacks that split the sword light, a deviation of several feet is no big deal.

Moreover, even when separated by thousands of miles, its destructive power will not diminish, somewhat similar to the primordial spirit sword control of ancient sword cultivators.

It's just that the distance is greater and the speed is faster, making it even harder for people to react.

Bai Zichen imagined himself flying peacefully in the air when suddenly a dazzling sword light slashed down, and he couldn't find an opponent no matter what he tried.

Even he would find it difficult to handle such a situation.

Holding the Azure Rhinoceros Sword, one can almost be considered invincible in the Nascent Soul stage.

They maintained a distance of ten thousand miles forever. Which Nascent Soul cultivator could catch up with such a long chasm while enduring the attack of the Azure Rhinoceros Sword?

Bai Zichen's gaze toward the Azure Rhinoceros Sword burned even brighter. In the hands of other Nascent Soul sword cultivators, even after refining it, it would only possess the power of a few sword strikes.

However, with the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, he could normally control a fifth-order flying sword with his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation.

From then on, in addition to the Star River Sword Formation and the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, he possessed a regular means of fighting beyond his level.

"Please, Senior Qing Si, lend a hand!"

Po Jun called out anxiously.

The entrance to the Sword Washing Cave swayed back and forth, sometimes as big as a person could hug, and sometimes only as thick as a bowl.

Even with the combined efforts of four star lords, it was not enough to stabilize the passage leading to the Sword Washing Cave.

The original plan included six Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but now one is dead and another is missing, creating this awkward situation.

"Ten dollars!"

The Azure Rhinoceros Sword let out a disgruntled snort, its blade trembled, and it flew out on its own, supporting the precarious passage.

The group passed through at top speed, and the Azure Rhinoceros Sword transformed into azure light, flying back into the hand of the Star Lord of Breaking Army.

"Po Jun, what is ten yuan?"

Bai Zichen asked calmly, it seemed that the sword spirit still had a certain degree of trust in Po Jun, so the seduction work would not be so easy to carry out.

"Now that the passage is closed, do we need to break it open again when we leave?"

With the withdrawal of the Azure Rhinoceros Sword, the Sword Washing Cave and the Star Palace Secret Realm were once again separated, with no way to return.

The Star God Mask also failed here, unable to sense the Star Palace Secret Realm.

"Ten top-grade spirit stones, the reward I promised Senior Sword Spirit for each of its attacks... Logically speaking, the Sword Washing Cave should be accessible normally, but no one has entered for over ten thousand years, and it has merged with the Star Palace Secret Realm, so I don't know the details. At worst, I'll just have to deliver another sword strike, and then I'll have to trouble you to help."

Po Jun Xingjun quickly skipped over the first half of the topic, and you could hear the pain in his voice.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, do you need to rest for a while and recover your true energy?"

"Okay, wait for me for half an hour."

Bai Zichen pondered for a moment, then sat down in mid-air and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

In fact, he has his own ways to instantly recover from the damage caused by swinging the sword.

However, being in an unfamiliar place, it's still necessary to have an extra trump card up your sleeve.

Moreover, the methods he used made it easy for those with ulterior motives to guess his true identity.

However, once the news spread that the Thousand-Foot Golden Centipede had died at the hands of the Ziwei Star Lord, all sword cultivators in the mid-Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world would be considered suspects.

As long as he shows his face in public and people discover that he has successfully broken through to the next level, his identity will basically be confirmed.

These are all things for the future; right now, the Sword Washing Cave and the Azure Rhinoceros Sword are more worthy of our attention.

When Bai Zichen heard that Po Jun Xingjun would give ten top-grade spirit stones each time he wanted Qing Si Jian to make a move, his hands and feet went cold, and he almost gave up trying to seduce this fifth-order flying sword.

Let alone ten top-grade spirit stones at once, he couldn't even afford one.

Bai Zichen's total cultivation career was only a little over two hundred years, and it's impossible for the Qingfeng Sect to have any top-grade spirit stones passed down to him.

In this respect, he certainly cannot be compared with Po Jun Xing Jun, who holds the power over all affairs of the Tianxing Sect.

Even for someone like Po Jun, this number would be an unbearable burden, something he could only do occasionally.

The fear is that the Azure Rhinoceros Sword's appetite has grown too large, and even the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box cannot satisfy it.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Zichen opened his eyes and stood up with a bright and energetic expression.

"Of course, without Brother Ziwei, we wouldn't have been able to enter the Sword Washing Cave Heaven."

Taiyin seemed to have been guarding him all along, and said with a faint smile.

After witnessing the sword strike that Ziwei Xingjun had previously unleashed, the group became much more respectful towards him.

They were all sword cultivators, and everyone was well aware of the difference in their strength.

Based on the level of sword light differentiation alone, Ziwei Xingjun is enough to secure his position as the number one fighter in the Star Palace.

"This is the Sword Washing Cave Heaven?"

Bai Zichen pointed to the thousands of bubbles below, each bubble being an independent world, and the inside could not be seen from the outside.

In fact, he observed it the moment he entered the cave, and thus was able to confirm that this was the mysterious cave discovered by Ma You Da Zhenjun, as Meng Dongye had mentioned.

The Five Phoenix Sword Sect suspects that this place, which was cut into millions of fragments by spatial turbulence but then mysteriously stuck back together, is the legendary Sword Washing Cave.

Bai Zichen's appearance here now proves that the Five Phoenix Sword Sect's speculation has come true.

"That's right, it's the Sword Washing Cave that everyone has been talking about... I wonder what kind of impact it suffered to become like this."

Po Jun Xingjun emerged from a bubble with a grim expression; the current situation was clearly beyond his expectations.

“I suspect that when the Sword Sect was destroyed, there were Nascent Soul stage experts fighting in the cave heaven. Otherwise, even if a stable cave heaven encountered spatial turbulence, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“We’ll be spending months on each fragment. If we’re unlucky, we could end up spending hundreds of years here.”

The Star Lord of Giant Gate calculated it and came up with an astonishing time.

The unique nature of the Sword Washing Cave makes the search for each fragment extremely difficult.

Even if the Taibai Sword Sect's legacy is very tempting, several hundred years is still an exaggeration.

It was only after witnessing this scene that Bai Zichen understood why Meng Dongye had taken the initiative to invite him to join their exploration after he had reached the Sword Light Differentiation Realm.

Even if Ma Youda Zhenjun spent the rest of his life inside, it might not be enough. No wonder he was willing to share his grotto-heaven with the outer sect's sword cultivators.

Another point is that the initiative is in Ma You's hands.

You might spend a century painstakingly eliminating hundreds of wrong answers, only to have the other party terminate the cooperation with a single sentence, rendering all your previous efforts futile.

'Ma You's realm ascension somehow collided with the Sword Washing Cave, creating a two-way passage... Could it be that while we're searching, Ma You has suddenly reappeared?'

The probability of a collision between a grotto and a celestial realm is probably less than one in a billion.

If we compare a grotto-heaven to a person, then any layer of the void is thousands of times larger than the territory of the cultivation world.

At the same time, the void is in all directions, with infinite possibilities for derivation.

Ma You's ability to have this opportunity can only be attributed to the Five Phoenix Sword Sect's current good fortune, as they were able to encounter even such a near-zero probability opportunity.

However, he quickly realized that this was a critical moment in the war between the two races.

As a top cultivator on the human side, Ma You would likely be on duty guarding the Jishui camp, and it's unlikely he would have the leisure to explore the fragments of the cave.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

If it really takes hundreds of years, I'm afraid even if Po Jun Xingjun dies of old age in Xi Jian Dong Tian, ​​he will never see the inheritance of Tai Bai Jian Zong.

Reluctantly, he took out the Seven Cultivation Sword Talisman, which was now only half intact, and lit it again. Seven sword lights circled around him and joyfully rushed towards the fragment of the cave.

"Keep up close!"

The Star Lord of Breaking Army followed closely behind, his seven sword lights ignoring the vast majority of the bubbles, only occasionally stopping to circle.

Passing through hundreds of floating bubbles, one of the yellow lights suddenly turned and threw itself at the fragments of the cave in front of it, but the other six sword lights continued forward.

The group was taken aback, unsure of what it meant.

"There might be treasure hidden in this fragment of the cave. Let's ignore it and follow the main group!"

Lord Po Jun waved his hand and left a mark, his target clear and unwavering.

Along the way, four more sword lights broke away from the group and entered their respective fragments of the cave.

Until the last two sword lights merged and rushed into a bubble, Po Jun Xing Jun revealed a hint of excitement.

"The Golden Alligator and the Jellyfish are the two swords among the Seven Swords that have advanced to the fifth rank. The sword light created using their primal power must have sensed the location of the Sword Cleansing Pool..."

Without needing to say anything more, everyone became excited.

Within the fragments of the grotto-heaven, there is a collapsed sword mountain, a shattered pool, and at its center, a massive sinkhole.

Countless streams of black energy surged forth, like a chaotic dance of demons, and one could faintly hear decadent music.

Getting closer to someone makes my mind wander and I can't calm down.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, along its edges, and on the Sword Mountain and the pool, astonishing sword marks can be seen everywhere, containing terrifying and immense power.

Even after tens of thousands of years, it has never declined.

"Po Jun, it seems you were right, a great battle did indeed take place here... and at the center is the Sword Washing Pool!"

Bai Zichen sensed an intense, impure, and deathly aura within the black mist, somewhat similar to, yet different from, the ancient demons he had encountered before.

"It should be a fifth-order extraterrestrial demon that was killed by the Nascent Soul stage of the Taibai Sword Sect. It was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and because it was in a closed cave environment, it formed a mark that has not dissipated for ten thousand years."

"That's right, it's a Nascent Soul level extraterrestrial demon..."

Po Jun Xing Jun had already held the Qing Si Sword in front of his chest, his expression changing from excitement to deep fear.

The others, needless to say, had already unleashed their respective magical weapons, their expressions filled with fear.

Extraterrestrial demons are extremely terrifying beings to the Demon Realm.

This being is incomprehensible, lacks reason, and is an aggregate of all evil thoughts.

Even the ancient demons of the Heavenly Demon Realm suffer greatly from the torment of the extraterrestrial demons, because the extraterrestrial demons that appear in the Upper Realm are even more powerful.

Fortunately, the extraterrestrial demons of the lower realm appear very rarely, only once every tens of thousands of years. They are at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and the strongest can reach the Divine Transformation stage.

After the group of extraterrestrial demons that suddenly descended upon the Taibai Sword Sect disappeared, they vanished without a trace in the cultivation world.

What caused the great battle between the Taibai Sword Sect and the Taibai Sword Sect back then, and why was it so fierce? However, the Nascent Soul stage experts of the Taibai Sword Sect were indeed powerful. Although they brought the Sword Washing Cave Heaven to take advantage of its home ground, it was still quite extraordinary that they could perish together with the extraterrestrial demons.

If he hadn't died, he might have become another Nascent Soul cultivator capable of ascending to the upper realms.

Extraterrestrial demons are born from evil thoughts; they have no physical body, no soul, and are manifestations of evil.

Even powerful beings who descend from the realm to refine their Void Realm would find it extremely difficult to deal with extraterrestrial demons at the Nascent Soul level, and would be unable to achieve an overwhelming victory.

This shows how powerful the extraterrestrial demons are!
"With the Sword Washing Pool shattered, will the Sword Sect's legacy still exist here?"

Bai Zichen behaved better than the others, still observing his surroundings normally.

This damaged pool is probably the famous Sword Washing Pool.

The cultivators of the Taibai Sword Sect refine their flying swords here, reducing the time required to refine their natal flying swords to one-tenth.

It's broken like this; it doesn't look like it can be repaired.

"If even Nascent Soul Ancestors perished here, then there is absolutely no way there is any inheritance here!"

Po Jun Xingjun finally came to his senses and broke free from his fear of the extraterrestrial demons.

"Ten thousand years have passed. Even a Nascent Soul level extraterrestrial demon would only have a few wisps of remnant spirit left behind. It's impossible for it to be resurrected... As long as we are careful, there will be no major problems. There's no need to scare ourselves unnecessarily."

Ultimately, his longing for the Taibai Sword Sect overcame his fear.

The group landed in the enormous sinkhole and began searching it one by one.

"These sword marks all contain true meaning, but unfortunately, too much time has passed, and the battle with the extraterrestrial demons was too intense, causing excessive wear and tear..."

Bai Zichen approached a sword mark, reached out and brushed it across, feeling the still breathtaking power within.

He could sense that once activated, the power within the sword mark would be enough to kill everyone here except himself.

"I've found something here!"

Tianxiang Xingjun shouted, and in front of him stood a stone tablet with a stiff, upright skeleton.
