Born with immortal seed

Chapter 527 Dongxuan Sword Stele
In the center of the giant pit stood a emaciated corpse of a cultivator, his skeletal frame supporting a Taoist robe.

The style of the Taoist robe is clearly the same as that worn by the Star Lord Po Jun, with only some minor differences.

His cheeks were gaunt, his hair was gray, his eyes were wide open, and his resentment soared to the heavens, which could be clearly felt even after ten thousand years.

Two streaks of bloody tears streamed down his face, leaving bloodstains, and his mouth was slightly open.

"Ten thousand years, and the physical body remains immortal... It seems that this Nascent Soul cultivator from the Taibai Sword Sect also has remarkable attainments in body refinement."

Tianxiang Zhenjun was the first to discover the cultivator's remains, his expression complex.

A powerful figure who, whether in the past or present, stands at the very top of the cultivation world, a Nascent Soul sword cultivator whose achievements he might never even begin to grasp in his entire life, stood there quietly, having long since lost all vitality.

Immortality and longevity seem to be just myths and legends, impossible to achieve.

Even the most powerful Nascent Soul sword cultivator, what can they do? After death, they can't even return to dust.

"Grandmaster He Feng..."

Suddenly, Po Jun Xingjun knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times and nine times to the corpse.

It is clear that the person who recognized this sword cultivator was the Nascent Soul Ancestor from the time of the destruction of the Taibai Sword Sect.

'He Feng lured the Nascent Soul level extraterrestrial demon into the Sword Washing Cave Heaven, using the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Sword Formation to divide the battlefield. He successfully slayed the demon at a great cost… but inevitably suffered demonic attacks himself. His injuries were too severe to heal, so he committed suicide within the cave heaven. In his final moments, he moved the Sword Washing Cave Heaven into the Star Palace Secret Realm.'

Bai Zichen speculated about the situation at the time. The Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, who had been dead for ten thousand years, was surrounded by black mist, which was somewhat similar to the black mist around the sinkhole.

However, it was much weaker and suppressed by a force, rotating within He Feng's body, unable to cause a greater impact.

The extraterrestrial demons are feared not only for their immense power but also for their ability to infect.

Once corrupted by their demonic energy, one will become a mindless servant, only knowing how to follow the extraterrestrial demons in their slaughter.

Even the ancient demons of the Heavenly Demon Realm are no match for the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons in their ability to bewitch people and convert demons.

"Po Jun, shouldn't we start searching for the Sword Sect's legacy? If you want to pay homage to your ancestors, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. This place isn't really suitable."

The Star Lord of Giant Gate had a blue light emanating from his hands, and his pacing back and forth betrayed his unease.

The demon-repelling treasure I carry with me is as clear as jade and has no problem dealing with normal demons.

But when it comes to extraterrestrial demons, I'm not so sure.

"Alright, we will bury Ancestral Master He Feng later."

After thinking for a moment, Po Jun Xing Jun extended a gentle giant hand and supported He Feng's corpse, pulling it back several feet.

The stone tablet beside the corpse was fully revealed to everyone's eyes; it was a stone tablet weathered by time and filled with the scent of age.

The front of the stone tablet is carved with five dragons and five phoenixes, rising in an intertwined manner, as if they are about to fly out of the tablet and soar into the sky.

On the dark side was a pitch-black, invisible sword light, appearing and disappearing, sometimes vanishing without a trace, sometimes dazzlingly bright.

This stone tablet is practically like a living thing.

It's obvious that something that a Nascent Soul cultivator would hold onto until death and guard over would not be an ordinary stone tablet.

"The Sword Stele! This is the Dongxuan Sword Stele, a sacred object in the hearts of all Sword Sect disciples... Every true disciple who wants to obtain the Dongxuan God-Slaying Sword Scripture must pass through this Sword Stele!"

Po Jun Xingjun was somewhat unable to contain his emotions. The Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture was the supreme technique of the Taibai Sword Sect. Even the most valued hidden lineage could not obtain this inheritance.

Right now, the Dongxuan Sword Stele, which can only be seen by a handful of the most outstanding disciples of each generation of the Taibai Sword Sect, is now standing right in front of us without any concealment.

All the star lords' breathing quickened; the term "Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture" was an irresistible temptation for every sword cultivator.

Just like the style of sword cultivators, they have an unstoppable cultivation speed, invincible and heaven-defying combat power, and an unlimited number of natal flying swords.

More importantly, those who cultivated this technique and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage within a few thousand years became the most powerful beings in the entire cultivation world.

Not to mention, he was the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire recent ancient period who successfully ascended to the Divine Transformation realm without relying on an ascension platform.

After ascending to heaven, he even descended with a sword talisman, accomplishing an unprecedented feat.

It seems that the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture is a flawless sword cultivation technique. Even without the restriction of the word "sword cultivation," there are few techniques in the cultivation world that can compare with it.

No matter which top-level cultivation technique it is, it always has some weaknesses and is not as comprehensive as this one.

Compared to the Morality Sect, the Taibai Sword Sect's lineage and seniority are no different from that of a toddler learning to walk.

At its peak, it was able to surpass the Daode Sect, which had stood at the top for tens of thousands of years, and this was largely due to the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture.

In terms of speed of rise and peak height, the Taibai Sword Sect is unparalleled in the entire history of the cultivation world.

Bai Zichen's gaze became much more fervent, for the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture was exactly what he needed right now.

If no top-tier cultivation technique is available, he will have to settle for one of the three Nascent Soul cultivation techniques inherited from the Star Palace.

For him, the long-term stagnation in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, without any further progress, was unforgivable.

He felt that he had wasted a lot of time by dragging it out until now.

"How can we obtain the inheritance of the Cave Profound God-Slaying Sword Scripture?"

Since this matter concerned the great principles, Bai Zichen no longer kept a low profile and took the initiative to ask questions.

However, this Dongxuan Sword Stele gave him a strange feeling.

It wasn't that the sword stele concealed hidden dangers, nor was it a warning from a spiritual level; rather, it was the disharmony between the yin and yang aspects of the sword stele.

The five dragons and five phoenixes on the yang side should be legendary mythical beasts, but they seem to have nothing to do with a sword manual. I don't know why they appear on both the yin and yang sides of the sword stele.

The origin of the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture has always been a mystery.

The Taibai Sword Sect rose like a comet, and countless admirers and enemies have studied the life of Taibai Sword Lord, the most powerful of the sect's founders.

Among these, the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture is a topic that can never be avoided.

No one knows how this technique came about. There are generally two theories: it was divinely bestowed or it was a personal epiphany and summary.

But apart from the most fervent admirers, even within the Taibai Sword Sect, no one believed that the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture was created by the founder.

It is recorded in Xinghe Sword Lord's notes that the Sword Scripture appeared abruptly without a beginning or end, and is suspected to be a method bestowed by an immortal.

Without any deduction or creation process, the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture appeared in the eyes of the world, and it was perfect from the very beginning.

But how could a newly created technique be perfect in its initial stage?

The top-tier cultivation techniques created in the near-ancient era in the cultivation world all have a long and complex history of evolution.

Every cultivation technique that can be practiced to the level of Nascent Soul cannot have been created out of thin air without the refinement and adjustments made by several generations over thousands of years.

Moreover, once a technique of this level has been practiced, it cannot remain unknown and will inevitably leave a deep mark on the river of time.

Therefore, the saying that the sword scripture is bestowed by heaven is more popular in the cultivation world.

"Touch it with your hand, communicate with it with your mind, and as long as the conditions are met, a sword seed will be planted in your dantian."

Po Jun Xingjun made no attempt to conceal his intentions, nor did he take the opportunity to impose any conditions; he clearly stated his position.

“There is no limit to the number of sword tablet inheritances. We will accept the inheritance together, and Ziwei and I will not use our privileges here.”

"can."

With the Supreme Sword Scripture right before their eyes and no one trying to trip them up, no one was going to get bogged down in the minutiae.

Five hands simultaneously covered the stone tablet. With a command from the Star Lord of the Broken Army, several Star Lords attacked at the same time, causing the Dongxuan Stone Tablet to tremble violently.

The five streams of true essence belonging to the Nascent Soul sword cultivators were all vying for a larger share of the Cave Profound Sword Stele.

Suddenly, one of the streams of true energy disappeared.

It didn't retreat; rather, a true dragon leaped up and swallowed the ball of true essence.

Looking at the Star Lord Po Jun again, his eyes were empty, his mind wandering to the heavens, and he had already communicated with the sword monument.

As a hidden disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect, he had a huge advantage in internal intelligence regarding the Sword Washing Cave.

If it weren't for this great battle that shattered the Sword Cleansing Cave into thousands of fragments, and even completely destroyed the Sword Cleansing Pool, the advantages that Po Jun Xing Jun could have exerted would have been even greater.

Bai Zichen was getting anxious. If he couldn't obtain the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture, his subsequent cultivation would be severely affected.

Calm your mind and continuously communicate with the invisible, dark sword light on the back of the sword monument.

But each time he failed, not because his methods were wrong or he was not qualified enough to be rejected, but because the stone tablet kept its doors tightly shut to him.

'Strange, the sword monument is like a stubborn rock, with no way to communicate with it... Moreover, I sensed a trace of demonic power hidden within it, and it was demonic power of extremely high quality.'

Bai Zichen had seen the inheritance stele of the Naihe Sect during his Qi Refining period, so he was no stranger to similar inheritance methods.

The Taibai Sword Sect merely passed down its most important fundamental techniques through the Dongxuan Sword Stele, a divine artifact. In contrast, the Naihe Sect integrated its entire lineage, including but not limited to cultivation methods, supernatural powers, secret techniques, and all the arts of immortal cultivation, into a single inheritance stele.

Even if all the cultivators of the Naihe Sect die out, as long as the inheritance stone tablet exists, they can be resurrected.

He tried repeatedly but to no avail, which inevitably made him anxious.

'No wonder Lord Po Jun didn't propose any other conditions; he had a trap set up here. Outsiders simply couldn't obtain the inheritance of the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture.'

The five dragons and five phoenixes did not react at all, and their circling speed gradually decreased.

Not only Bai Zichen, but the other three star lords also failed to gain anything and all showed anxious expressions.

Just as he was preparing to find another way to communicate with the Dongxuan Sword Stele, an ancient book lying in the realm began to turn its pages on its own without any wind.

Like gold and jade, each page is as thin as a cicada's wing, rustling softly.

As the pages turned faster and faster until they finally formed a line, a wisp of breath was peeled away.

Under the boundless darkness, a dazzling sword light rose, illuminating the sky.

The sword monument, which was originally a stubborn rock with no images except for deathly darkness, finally established a connection with him.

Having traversed countless fragmented worlds, I met a free-spirited and unrestrained swordsman.

"The True Explanation of Swordsmanship has come into play, recognizing me as a successor of the Sword Sect..."

This ancient book was left behind by the Star River Sword Master. Except for the absence of the Cave Profound God-Slaying Sword Scripture, it records almost all the essence of his life's swordsmanship.

The fact that Po Jun Xing Jun could connect with the Dong Xuan Sword Stele was undoubtedly due to his status as a hidden disciple of the Tai Bai Sword Sect.

As one of the top three figures in the Taibai Sword Sect at the time, Xinghe Sword Lord's successor was undoubtedly a Holy Son, and his authority within the sect would only be higher.

The sword cultivator in the inheritance scene is over ten feet tall, with a robust physique and a pair of vertically aligned pupils that are captivatingly reddish-gold.

Holding a flying sword, he was demonstrating a very basic sword technique.

Suddenly the sky darkened, and a fireball flew in from the sky, quickly transforming from a tiny black dot into a towering mountain, and then into a sky full of stars.

It was a celestial body of unknown origin that pierced through the gale layer and headed straight for the land.

If it were to crash into the earth, it wouldn't just cause millions of deaths and injuries, but the destruction of the entire world.

The swordsman drew his sword and pointed it to the sky. A white rainbow pierced the sun, and the world-destroying celestial body was split in two, then in four, and soon became thousands of fragments.

It's like a meteor shower, or it might create huge craters, cause a tsunami on the water's surface, or ignite a protracted fire.

Then another golden-glowing deity appeared, activated a forbidden spell, and moved ten mountains to block the way in and out.

The swordsman drew his sword again, and the golden helmet clattered to the ground, leaving only the headless god general clad in golden armor.

Blood gushed from the wound, and after taking three steps, he collapsed with a groan.
