Born with immortal seed

Chapter 562 The Six Absolute Master
"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said to others; it's just a promise..."

Feng Moyun pondered for a long time, perhaps realizing that such a vague request would certainly not move the other party.

Looking at the generous reward, after losing him as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he would be like meat on a chopping board, something the Myriad Beasts Sect simply couldn't hold onto.

"Perhaps the True Lord does not know, but after leaving the sect to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I went to the Boundless Sea of ​​Bitterness. I wanted to hone myself by fighting against the demonic cultivators there, and at the same time try my luck to reach the peak of the Core Formation stage as soon as possible. Who knew that a demonic cultivator would take a fancy to my Floating Light Dove and want to capture it to refine it into the Hundred Birds Illusionary Yin Banner. That person was at the peak of the Core Formation stage and had a large number of subordinates. At that time, I was no match for him and could only fight and run away."

In a panic, Feng Moyun stumbled into the Bitter Sea of ​​Gale, a place even the demonic cultivators of the Thirty-Six Demon Caves dared not enter. After surviving countless near-death experiences, a stone fragment he had obtained from the Lotus Life Secret Realm began to move, unexpectedly guiding him to a path of survival.

He used this to cross the boundless sea of ​​suffering and arrive at one of the most mysterious forbidden areas in the cultivation world, a desolate and bitterly cold place.

Since the disciples of the Naihe Sect stopped traveling in the cultivation world, they disappeared from the sight of the world, and no one has been able to find their traces.

Bai Zichen once obtained a map of the Boundless Sea of ​​Bitterness, which clearly marked the locations of the thirty-six demon caves and the movement of the sea's gales.

However, it made no mention of how to get to the Sea of ​​Suffering and the Land of Desolation.

Feng Moyun was able to confirm that he had left the Boundless Sea of ​​Bitterness and arrived at the Bitter Cold and Desolate Land not only because the gale had disappeared without a trace, but also because of the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy.

All that could be seen was desolate saline-alkali land, without a trace of green, and an atmosphere of decay and decay permeated the air.

After wandering aimlessly for months, Feng Moyun finally came across an astonishingly large stone tablet, thousands of feet tall, covered with ancient and mysterious floral and bird inscriptions.

"Stone tablet?"

Bai Zichen's heart skipped a beat. This description sounded very familiar, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, a stone tablet containing thousands of inheritances, the legendary inheritance stone tablet of the Naihe Sect, or the most core and original stone tablet."

Feng Moyun did not deny it, but readily admitted it.

He was very excited after recognizing the original stone tablet, thinking that he could gain profound knowledge of the Naihe Sect from it.

Unexpectedly, it was just a lifeless stone tablet. Despite trying every means, they were unable to trigger any unusual phenomena or obtain any inheritance.

Continuing forward, they discovered another cluster of buildings, dilapidated and indistinct, with no sign of human presence.

Judging from the scale of the palaces and buildings, they once had a glorious period, but for some unknown reason, they came to an end.

The details reveal that the cultivators here left in a great hurry. They were refining artifacts at the long-cooled earth fire outlet, spreading out sheets of talisman paper that were only half-drawn, and several pieces of spiritual materials that had fallen to the ground, their spiritual energy completely drained away, turning into dust with the slightest touch.

Based on the names of some palaces and the previous stone tablet, Feng Moyun confirmed that this was the mountain gate of the Naihe Sect.

But this super sect has always been seen as mysterious and powerful by the world, so how could it end up abandoning its mountain gate and even the original stone tablet?

It should be noted that, unlike other sects, the Nai Sect does not have a Hall of Transmission.

All traditions, whether created by the disciples themselves or acquired from outside, are recorded in the original stone tablet and kept by this naturally formed divine object.

The original stone tablet was a naturally formed divine object that existed since ancient times. Ordinary disciples could not directly obtain inheritance from it, as their consciousness would be overwhelmed by its vast and boundless contents.

Only the inheritance stone tablet that peels off from the original stone tablet every sixty years has a limit on the number of times it can be used, but there are no restrictions on the cultivation level of the person who touches it.

The inheritance stele does not only serve the purpose of preservation and compilation; it can also provide the most suitable inheritance for the disciple based on the inner condition of the person who touches it.

Therefore, disciples of the Naihe Sect never need to worry about choosing the wrong cultivation method and having to start over later.

Each Nascent Soul True Monarch can also experience the manifestation of their own cultivated Great Dao True Meaning at the Transformation God Realm from the initial stone tablet.

This insight is extremely valuable to all Nascent Soul True Monarchs who aspire to break through the insurmountable barrier of the Divine Transformation stage; it is nothing less than the most advanced Divine Transformation experience.

Even with a powerful being at the Nascent Soul stage guiding and teaching you step by step, it's still nothing special.

Abandoning the original stone tablet means that the Naihe Sect True Lord will lose this opportunity in the future. After the existing inheritance stone tablets are used up, the remaining disciples will no longer be able to enjoy them.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zichen recalled that Meng Dongye of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect had mentioned to him that a Nascent Soul demon cultivator had broken into the Bitter Cold and Desolate Land and clashed with the Naihe Sect.

Finally, the demon cultivator who had transformed into a god returned severely injured, and not long after, he passed away peacefully.

Unfortunately, the sect's mountain gate collapsed, its spiritual veins tore apart, and more than 90% of its disciples died in the battle. The sect exhausted all its methods for achieving the Nascent Soul stage and eventually moved to a deeper, more desolate place.

In comparison, perhaps Feng Moyun encountered the abandoned Naihe Sect.

"I dared not go any further. The deeper I went into this desolate and cold place, the more dangerous it felt, even though there were no strange beasts or natural disasters. It always made me feel that once I went deep into it, I would never be able to leave. I was also reluctant to return empty-handed. During the search for the Naihe Sect's mountain gate, I encountered a remnant soul who called himself the Six Absolutes Master. He said that he had been imprisoned under the mountain gate's formation for thousands of years."

Feng Moyun's expression turned serious as he got to the point.

"The Six Absolutes Master was possessing a puppet. Originally, the sect's great formation covered it, so I shouldn't have been able to find out... But unfortunately, the sect must have dismantled the formation when they left, which allowed me to discover the strange thing about this puppet whose spiritual power was exhausted."

"After communicating with him, I learned his identity. He was a Supreme Elder of the Naihe Sect who survived after his death by using a secret method. Later, I swore to grant the Six Absolutes Venerable three conditions in exchange for the opportunity for the Floating Light Dove to break through to the fourth rank. I had already dealt with the first condition when I was in the Southern Region. Now it's time for the second condition: to recite the Reincarnation Mantra for the Six Absolutes Venerable until he completely dies... Because the remnant soul has been attached to the puppet for too long, and the material is special to ensure that the remnant soul will not dissipate, it can no longer move an inch."

"According to the Six Absolutes Master, his soul will dissipate into the world within a hundred to two hundred years, leaving not even a trace of his soul. This is the time I want to ask the True Lord to help protect the Myriad Beasts Sect."

Bai Zichen remained silent. This matter was strange and bizarre, yet it aligned with his understanding of the Naihe Sect's secrets.

If I'm not mistaken, the remnant soul of this Six Absolutes Master should be that of a versatile cultivator who once emerged from the Naihe Sect. He possessed the cultivation of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and was also skilled in six arts: fourth-tier alchemist, fourth-tier weapon refiner, fourth-tier talisman master, fourth-tier array master, fourth-tier puppeteer, and fourth-tier beast tamer.

And within a limited time, they all reached the peak of the fourth tier.

With such abilities, it's no wonder that he was able to exist for thousands of years in his soul form after his death, and it's also no wonder that he had the ability to guide Feng Moyun.

Rumors circulate that the Six Absolutes Master is omniscient and omnipotent, and that he gained unique insights from both the inheritance stele and the original stele.

Many people say that if he hadn't been so distracted, he would have had a real chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"To chant a spell for a remnant soul?"

The malfunctioning original stone tablet, the nearly ruined Naihe Sect mountain gate, and even the strange remnant soul of the Six Absolutes Master no longer piqued Bai Zichen's interest.

Especially when time is tight, and every hour is so precious that you wish you could divide it into three parts.

Feng Moyun probably saw this point: a sword cultivator who could defeat a Great True Monarch at the early stage of Nascent Soul would not be distracted by other things and covet the cultivation arts inheritance of the remnant soul of the Six Absolutes Master, so he told the truth.

"Master Liujue told me the method for the Floating Light Dove to advance, and also pointed out the precautions for the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation... He asked me to return to the Bitter Cold Desolate Land immediately after I returned from the Southern Region. I have delayed for several years, and the effects of the Dao Heart Oath have already emerged. If I do not go now, I may die of the Five Decays of Heaven on the way."

"I have told True Lord everything about this matter... Would True Lord Bai be willing to lend a hand?"

Feng Moyun knew that the desolate and cold land was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and that the requirements of the Six Absolutes Master were not merely to recite the Reincarnation Mantra; there must be a deeper meaning behind them.

Without his protection, the Myriad Beasts Sect was no different from other Core Formation level sects in Liang Kingdom; in fact, its large size and influence made it even more of a target.

Even without the protection of a powerful formation, if a demonic beast were to invade the Northern Region, I fear that what would follow would be the inexplicable annihilation of those wealthy sects by the demonic beast, with the Nascent Soul Grandmasters arriving too late to save them.

"For the sake of the deceased Fellow Daoist Fang and Fellow Daoist Feng, I will protect the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for one hundred years... After that, it will depend on each person's own destiny."

Given the future status of the Azure Maple Sect, as long as it doesn't harbor any ill intentions, other forces in the Liang Kingdom won't be able to touch the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Bai Zichen would not allow anyone to create panic under the guise of demonic beasts and reap the benefits.

As for what happens a hundred years from now, once the Qingfeng Sect has finished digesting its territory and wants to expand again, the Northern Region still has a large enough territory.

After relinquishing seven prefectures, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, now residing in the remaining two prefectures, can only be considered a relatively strong Core Formation level sect.

"Very well. If I don't return for such a long time, and no disciples grow up to support the sect, it would be fate if the lineage were to end. I believe Senior Brother Fang will no longer blame me."

Feng Moyun said dejectedly, and with a flick of his hand, produced a jade slip.

"These are some of my insights and experiences regarding beast taming over the years. Disciples of your sect may find them helpful. Perhaps many aspects are outdated, but consider them as learning from others' strengths and making up for your own weaknesses. Even if they can play a small role, that would be good."

"Fellow Daoist Feng's skill in controlling beasts is top-notch in the entire cultivation world... This gift is quite generous."

Bai Zichen stroked the jade slip for a moment, then did not refuse.

He sensed Feng Moyun's confusion and helplessness, a fear of the road ahead.

Feng Moyun's beast-taming skills are second to none in the entire Northern Region, and there are probably very few people in the world who can surpass him.

With the limited beast-taming skills of the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect's Beast Hall, taking care of a few groups of first-tier spirit beasts is already their limit.

After doing all this, Feng Moyun cupped his hands in a salute and flew away, without asking for any promises or oaths.

After returning, Bai Zichen summoned Lu Song and gave him a briefing, mainly about the seven counties vacated by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Pure Spirit Jade Marrow.

“Ancestor, we really can’t spare any manpower right now. The sect competition at our main mountain has already been held ahead of schedule, and even the inner disciples have been incorporated into the team. They will be heading to Zhongzhou next month. To take over the seven prefectures, even with the cooperation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, we will need at least a thousand disciples, plus three to five Core Formation elders to lead the way.”

Lu Song was overjoyed. The ancestor was indeed the ancestor. He had only negotiated the delivery time of the Core Formation spiritual item, and he had directly negotiated and won over most of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's territory.

But he immediately frowned, stumped by the problem before him.

"This is something you need to handle, don't bother me with it... At least the two counties of Mizhou must be under your control so that Black Mountain and Central State can be connected."

After giving his instructions, Bai Zichen dismissed his disciples.

This kind of problem is just a happy trouble. I believe that with Feng Moyun's intervention, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will not dare to disobey in secret, if they know who they will rely on for the next hundred years.

At worst, we can nominally accept them, but in reality, let them govern themselves. In another ten or twenty years, once these disciples have grown up, we can bring them under our control one prefecture at a time.

The specific planning and personnel arrangements are the responsibility of the elders; he, as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, doesn't need to personally oversee them. He only needs to see the results.

"I didn't expect that even the cultivators of Liang Kingdom would sense the impending storm and that the demon race could start the final war at any time, and begin to prepare for the worst... It's also possible that Feng Moyun, who just returned from the Southern Region and passed through the Central Region, is more sensitive to this kind of information."

Bai Zichen returned to the Ascension Platform in a daze. He walked up to the top platform, where the jade steps, layer upon layer, were a replica of the Ascension Platform.

The jade steps turned seven times in the air, supporting a platform several meters high, with ancient mythical beasts and divine generals from the upper realm carved on the surrounding railings.

"The most urgent task is to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible and transform the realm into a nascent cave heaven. At that time, my strength will rise to another level. No matter what heaven-defying treasures you, Dragon Lord, possess, I don't believe you can defeat me. Among the demon race, there is only one Nascent Soul old dragon to worry about."

Compared to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm sees a significant improvement in both true essence and divine sense.

Most importantly, one can borrow a trace of the power of the cave. If one can integrate it into the Star River Sword Formation, one can imagine what the sword formation would look like at that time.

Moreover, the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword, which had been proudly still, had no room to escape. As agreed, Bai Zichen would recognize a master and be at the beck and call of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Regardless of whether the Nascent Soul Dragon and the Dragon Lord possess world-destroying, one-time-use treasures or legendary sixth-tier treasures, the fifth-tier flying swords, after being strengthened within the sword formation, can withstand them.

"In this desolate and cold land, at the Naihe Sect, dwells the Six Absolutes Master..."

Bai Zichen thought of what Feng Moyun had said. He probably wasn't lying, but it was hard to say how much of what that dying, lingering soul said was true and how much was false.

The fact that a remnant soul, weakened to the extreme and about to disappear completely, still seeks someone to chant the Reincarnation Mantra until it truly dies is itself eerie.

"A hundred years from now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will have become a Nascent Soul cultivator... If the crisis of the demon race has been resolved by then and you have not returned, I will make a trip to the Bitter Cold and Desolate Land to take a look. The inheritance stele in the Five Sacred Mountains Temple has benefited me greatly, and I have always had a strong interest in the Naihe Sect."

While reading through Feng Moyun's insights on beast taming, Bai Zichen pondered the secrets that might be hidden in the desolate and cold land.

He was also very curious whether the mysterious Naihe Sect still existed.
