Born with immortal seed

Chapter 603 The Pie in the Sky of a Fifth-Order Spiritual Land

The two spoke simultaneously without disturbing each other, as if they had their own thoughts.

Only the cultivator in the middle focused on refining the treasure banner in his hand, and invisible ripples shattered the small area, forming one spatial rift after another.

The powerful self-healing ability of the fifth-tier spiritual land forcibly closed the spatial rift again.

As the Northern Heavenly Divine Mud was wiped clean, its power was approaching that of the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword.

"Your Majesty flatters me. There is still much for me to learn."

Incarnation!

Bai Zichen shouted in his heart, "The Daoist supreme divine power, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, has always been the most widely circulated immortal technique in the upper realm among anecdotes."

In the human realm, it is common for people to cultivate a second primordial spirit after achieving the Divine Transformation stage, and to create an incarnation with the help of extraordinary treasures.

Nascent Soul cultivators face too many restrictions in the real world; having an avatar would allow them to accomplish many things that are inconvenient to handle.

Of course, in the later stages, the incarnation is gradually assimilated by the original body and will also be rejected by heaven and earth, making it difficult to move freely outside the cave.

However, refining an external avatar is not an easy task. Hongfa has only just reached the Divine Transformation stage. How could he have time to ascend to the heavens in one step, let alone create two avatars at once?

Judging from their actions and behavior, they have developed independent and autonomous abilities and have become qualified individuals.

"I summoned you here mainly for two reasons... First, to verify whether it is an exaggeration or a true divine gift and a body that has attained the Dao."

The farmer, a man of broad shoulders and robust build, casually sat down on a bluestone, exuding an open-minded and straightforward demeanor.

"Upon seeing you today, there's no need for further examination... Hehe, late-stage Nascent Soul. Even the few ascended ancestors at this age are at most on par with you in terms of cultivation."

"To simultaneously maintain unparalleled combat power and be extremely strong for a time, the closest example is the Taibai Sword Lord."

In terms of pure cultivation speed, Huang Tingfeng of the Moral Sect is second to none. Several cultivation fanatics within the peak can basically dominate half of the records for cultivation speed in the cultivation world.

There was even one in the Middle Ages who, despite becoming a deity early on, dared not ascend to the Ascension Platform on his own.

They waited for hundreds of years, almost reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, until their junior brother from Heavenly Punishment Peak successfully achieved Nascent Soul, before the two of them ascended together.

It should be noted that with the Ascension Platform providing protection and the Void Passage being stable, even those at the early Nascent Soul stage can attempt ascension.

After the ascension platform disappeared, only those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage had a slim chance of forced ascension, making the difficulty incomparable.

Huang Tingfeng, a cultivator, walks on one leg, exhibiting a severe imbalance in his studies.

Disciples of the Sword Sect and Body Tempering cultivators are more likely to develop extraordinary combat power, overwhelming the strongest of their time.

Conversely, however, achieving a higher level of attainment is extremely difficult.

Throughout history, there have been several geniuses who defied the odds and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, possessing unparalleled combat prowess, but ultimately exhausted their potential only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Ultimately, he stopped at the Nascent Soul stage and became nothing more than a pile of bones, a truly regrettable end.

This is precisely what the Holy Monarch of the Dharma is worried about. If Bai Zichen is only the latter, then placing the future hopes of the human race on him will be in vain.

It may be a temporary measure, but it cannot be a long-term plan.

Several Nascent Soul stage experts from the Moral Sect had already devised contingency plans for the worst-case scenario against the demon race.

But when the world truly collapses, it's impossible to expect the human race and the demon race to fight to the death.

Wildfires cannot destroy it; the spring breeze brings it back to life.

Humanity rose from humble servants in this world to strive to become the dominant species, experiencing numerous setbacks along the way.

They all grew and thrived amidst a host of formidable enemies, including naturally born gods, wild beasts, ancient demons, and ancient monsters, all relying on their beliefs and the spirit of passing on the torch.

Even if the demon race gains the upper hand for a time, as long as the true elites selected by the human race escape, they can still survive.

By using the Tushita Heaven to jump through multiple small worlds, one can travel to the outer world discovered by the Daode Sect over countless years and thus find safety.

That is the true foundation of the Moral Sect; without the correct roadmap, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to find it.

Above the nine heavens, in the boundless starry sky, meteorites flow, and cosmic light permeates the air.

Of the billions of celestial bodies, 99% are devoid of life, making it impossible for any living beings to exist.

Of the remaining celestial bodies, most are nothing but yellow sand and gravel, or ice and snow covering the sky, or red earth burning with flames.

The probability of green vegetation appearing is only one percent.

Raising the bar even further to the point where water is born and spiritual energy is generated, it can only be called a miracle.

After discovering the extraterrestrial world that could be inhabited by cultivators, the Daode Sect blocked all news and suppressed its impulse to develop it.

Even the five peak masters only knew about this matter, but did not know how to get there.

The star map is held by the successive patriarchs of the Dao lineage and is never passed on to outsiders.

Besides the disciples of the Moral Sect, other young members of the human race are also under observation.

Bai Zichen's outstanding performance had long been included in the list of disciples of the Daode Sect.

Upon inspection today, it is already at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, leaving no room for doubt.

If such a person is not worthy of being called the hope for the resurgence of humanity and the future leader, then there is no suitable candidate in the cultivation world.

The cultivators of his generation had all recently reached the Nascent Soul stage. Gu Chongxuan, who was the first to become famous, was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but he was more than a hundred years older than Bai Zichen.

In reality, many of their peers are still stuck in the Core Formation stage, yet are seen as having the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Bai Zichen had already demonstrated the combat power of a top-tier True Monarch in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and in just a few years, he had advanced to the late-Nascent Soul stage.

This is something that neither the Holy Monarch of Dharma Propagation nor even the former Lord of Heavenly Punishment Peak could accomplish.

That's why the monk Hongfa said that he had never seen such a crazy performance even in the scriptures.

However, it was precisely because Bai Zichen's performance was so outstanding that Hongfa hesitated, and his presence in the battle formation could have a certain impact on the battle situation.

If things go as Heavenly Punishment Peak Master envisions, then the number of top-tier True Monarchs will determine the final outcome of the great battle.

With such a sharp and divine sword deployed on the battlefield, its impact is self-evident.

"Ancestor Hongfa, the Nine Luminaries Mystic Pearl has been retrieved."

Yu Ziliang held a piece of stone tile in his hands, inside which lay a dark-colored spiritual pearl, lying quietly and motionless.

He bowed deeply to the driver who was spreading the Dharma, and held the stone tile high in his hands.

"It's of good quality. It should be able to take you directly to the seventh level of the Nine Luminaries Cave Heaven... Kid, keep it safe. Even if a disciple of our sect accumulates a hundred years of merit, he might not have the chance to go to the seventh level of the Nine Luminaries Cave Heaven once."

This Dharma teacher had graying temples, sunken cheeks, and a gaunt, pale face, exuding a serene and tranquil air, as if cleansed of worldly cares.

He picked up the Nine Luminaries Pearl between two fingers, examined it closely, and then gently tossed it out.

After finishing these tasks, he leaned against the carriage and began to look at the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, senior."

Bai Zichen's hands suddenly felt heavy, and he lost all tactile sensation at the point of contact with the dark spirit pearl. He couldn't even tell whether the pearl was cold or warm, or how heavy or light it was.

Only then did he realize that the three holy rulers who spread the Dharma actually looked exactly alike.

Their distinct personalities made people overlook their faces, subconsciously feeling that the original body and the two avatars each had their own unique appearance.

"Ask Ziliang about the effects of the Nine Luminaries Mystic Pearl later. How much you gain depends on your personal fortune... Within ten years, a great war will surely begin, and you will have a place to contribute then. After the war, when rewards are distributed according to merit, as long as you rank first, I will personally allocate a fifth-grade spiritual land to you!"

The farmer, with a flourish of his hand, made a promise that sent gasps of astonishment through the two people present.

"Senior, are you joking?"

A fifth-tier spiritual land is a necessary condition for the birth of a Nascent Soul cultivator. As long as this resource is controlled, it is possible to prevent the occasional geniuses from small sects from crossing the tier and ensure that all newly emerging Nascent Soul cultivators are under control.

No matter how ethereal or otherworldly you are, you cannot defy fate unless someone provides you with a fifth-tier spiritual land.

Fourth-tier spiritual lands can also search for uninhabited spiritual veins deep in the mountains and forests, such as the Black Mountain Range, which is an unclaimed spiritual land that has fallen into disrepair due to special reasons.

However, there are only a handful of fifth-tier spiritual lands in the entire cultivation world. Except for those inaccessible and dangerous places that are beyond our control, the rest are in the hands of the Nascent Soul sects.

Therefore, Bai Zichen had considered paying a certain price to rent a fifth-tier spiritual land from the Moral Sect, but he had never considered the possibility of acquiring it directly.

Unless one breaks free from constraints and ventures into a completely new territory to cultivate and develop, one cannot have the right to decide the ownership of a sacred land.

It is truly a bold decision for Hongfa to break the unspoken rules and open the fifth-tier sacred land to a newcomer.

"I never make promises lightly."

Hongfa's answer was calm and collected, yet every word he uttered could stir up a storm.

"It is our duty to slay demons and monsters."

No matter how unreliable the promise seemed, and where the Moral Sect would find a fifth-order spiritual land, Bai Zichen didn't think the other party would play word games or lie.

Because the other party is a follower of the Daode Sect, a holy ruler who propagates the Dharma.

It has a long history of achievements and a reputation built over 200,000 years.

The Nascent Soul stage was within his grasp. Obtaining a fifth-tier spiritual land would pave the way to Nascent Soul and create conditions for future generations of the Qingfeng Sect.

"Furthermore, I would like to request an audience with the venerable master of your lineage... I have been entrusted by the Buddha of the Kasyapa school to deliver a message."

Bai Zichen raised his head, feeling curious about this Nascent Soul cultivator he had never heard of before.

Logically speaking, no matter how well a sect hides itself, or how low-key a cultivator is, once they reach the Great True Monarch level, they can no longer hide.

It's rare for an unknown Great True Lord to suddenly emerge after achieving great cultivation, let alone a Nascent Soul level expert.

"Did the Buddha of the Wheel of Jewels come to you? What did he say to you? Tell me in detail."

The farmer and the driver, both propagating the Dharma, turned around and looked at each other at the same time, saying in unison.

The sentences overlapped, and even their tone was the same; this was the first time the two had spoken to the same person at the same time.

Bai Zichen answered truthfully, saying that he already had some doubts about Baolun Buddha's actions, and that it was actually a good thing that another Nascent Soul cultivator was involved.

"Fellow travelers? What kind of fellow travelers are a Buddhist monk and a Zhuangzi... unless it refers to something else?"

The two Dharma Masters exchanged a glance, sighed in silence, and then spoke after a long while.

"Since it was entrusted by the Buddha Baolun, Ziliang, you should take Bai Zichen to the Tushita Grotto-heaven."

"Yes."

Yu Ziliang nodded silently. He hadn't even recovered from the incident of the fifth-tier spiritual land when he was suddenly faced with his master's situation.

"I have another request. I have many doubts in my mind and would like to take a look at the Morality Sect's treasury. I wonder if that would be possible?"

The fact that the Moral Sect is making such an exaggerated promise shows that they need something from me.

If we don't seize this opportunity to make a profit now, when will we ever have another chance like this?

"Yes, I grant you the right to borrow all the collections below the Heavenly Rank within Huang Ting Peak. You are not allowed to take them out of Huang Ting Peak, and you are not allowed to access any categories related to the same cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities."

The propagation of the Dharma was readily accepted.
