Born with immortal seed

Chapter 637 The Cultivation Opportunity of the Candle Dragon's Yin-Yang Eyes
Even disregarding Bai Zichen, the results of this great battle were astonishing.

Four demons of the transformed form, equivalent to the strength of a Great True Monarch, were killed, including the Golden-Winged Roc, which was known for its unparalleled speed of flight below the Nascent Soul stage.

Originally, taking advantage of its speed, the demon bullied several human Nascent Soul cultivators who were in formation, flapping its wings and flying away, leaving only golden light flashing in the arena.

It's not about blinking or teleporting, but about extreme speed.

If one can advance to the level of Demon Lord, a fifth-tier Golden-Winged Roc can travel 10,800 li with a single flap of its wings.

In the human realm, there is no one left that can capture it.

This is also why the Golden-Winged Roc dared to covet the position of Lord of Rotten Axe Mountain after seeing that the White Ape had amazing talent, outstanding combat power, and the support of the Red-Eared Ancestor.

If both are at the fifth rank, the Golden-Winged Roc would most likely be no match for the White Ape in a head-on fight, but surviving would be a piece of cake.

With its speed advantage, it can even do many things that other demon lords cannot.

With a flap of its wings, it soars to the heavens. To achieve the legendary feat of traveling to the North Sea in the morning and to Cangwu in the evening is not difficult.

But as it triumphantly toyed with several human Nascent Soul cultivators, golden claws and feathers would occasionally slash past, easily dodging its counterattack spells. The magical treasures could only chase after it, all of which missed their mark, and an unexpected change occurred.

After Bai Zichen took over the Dragon Lord, the Great True Lord of September, who had been freed, set his sights on him.

The Great True Monarch of September, who was being suppressed and beaten by the Dragon Lord, vented all his anger on the Golden-Winged Roc, and the robe left behind by the Nascent Soul Ancestor was directly activated.

The divine lightning he unleashed was all upgraded to the fifth-order level. As the lightning net spread out, the Golden-Winged Roc lost its strongest advantage.

Several attempts to break through were thwarted by the lightning net, leaving several charred lightning marks on its wings.

The inability of the Golden-Winged Roc to utilize its speed advantage exposes its disadvantages in terms of lethality and physical strength, which are only considered below average among its peers.

Even if they used desperate measures and exhausted all their bloodline powers, they were helpless.

With the assistance of several Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the Great True Monarch of September successfully blasted off the head of the Golden-Winged Roc, and a Xuan Yin Divine Thunder directly froze all the blood in its body into ice.

The most valuable find among the harvests is the true feathers from the wings of the Golden-Winged Roc, which can be used to forge a flying magical artifact. However, upon completion, it will immediately face a tribulation of spiritual treasure.

There is a great chance that it will grow into a top-tier flying spirit treasure.

There was also Li Fengzi who used his body to merge with the sword and slit the neck of the bear on Rotten Ke Mountain.

The Kasyapa Sect's Green Lamp Arhat joined forces with the Evil Life Sect's Mountain Know, one fighting head-on and the other analyzing weaknesses, and they slowly wore down the fourth-tier superior-grade Xuan Turtle to death.

Normally, no one would even consider killing such a smelly and tough monster; it would be a complete waste of time.

However, Shan Zhi is different. As the current successor of the Evil Life Sect, his master brother follows the most orthodox fatalistic school, believing that fate is predetermined without cause or reason.

Therefore, he remained unmoved even when repeatedly invited by the Daode Sect.

Using the sect's secret treasures, he traveled freely beyond the heavens, detached from the mortal world and indifferent to worldly affairs.

Besides the Destiny Sect, the Evil Fate Sect also has a lineage of cultivators who follow the path of omniscience and omnipotence, illuminating the past and future.

This path is much more difficult; a slight misstep could lead to getting lost or even a regression in one's cultivation.

However, in terms of the upper limit, the Omniscient Dao is definitely superior to the Destiny Dao.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Evil Fate Sect has produced two Nascent Soul Ancestors, both of whom followed the Path of Omniscience. Their highest limit on the path of destiny is to stop at the Nascent Soul stage.

Shan Zhi felt he had some talent in the path of omniscience and omnipotence, but the other path was occupied by his senior brother, the headmaster, and didn't offer much of a future, so he made this choice.

In contrast to fatalism, the Omniscient Way requires practitioners to engage with the world and experience enlightenment.

Yama's opening of a shop on the black market and his assistance with divination and fortune-telling for the Daode Sect are all part of his spiritual practice.

He even used this era of great strife to foresee the course of the war between humans and demons several times, and although he destroyed the inherited tortoise shell, he was able to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The key is that the Omniscient Dao has been further enhanced, and it can now see many things that are beyond the comprehension of Nascent Soul cultivators.

With full force, Shan Zhi unleashed the Omniscient True Meaning, his pupils spinning wildly, revealing no secrets to the Xuan Turtle's movements.

What will be the next move? Which direction will the defense take? What is the direction of the flow of demonic energy?

Even beneath the seemingly impregnable tortoise shell, several hidden weaknesses are clearly revealed.

With Yama's assistance, the Green Lamp Arhat dominated the Black Tortoise from beginning to end.

Just as the Red-Eared Ancestor fell, the Green Lamp struck with its Buddhist pestle, creating a large hole in the tortoise shell.

Immediately, a great light of Buddha appeared, and the sound of Buddha's voice filled the air. Countless monks chanted scriptures and recited Buddha's name by the cave. The black tortoise, feeling dizzy and disoriented, actually managed to pop its head out of its shell.

boom!
The black tortoise's head was smashed into a mangled mess of flesh and blood, pressed tightly against the ground.

This Buddhist pestle seems to possess other supernatural powers, as it also sealed the essence of the Xuan Turtle within its body, turning its powerful physical form into a prison that confines it.

In addition, there were about ten transformed great demons and countless low-level demon beasts that died.

It's conceivable that the current price drop is only in low- to mid-level monster materials.

Once the Nascent Soul True Monarchs release the demon beast materials they possess through various channels after the war, even the high-end market will be impacted.

It will take at least several decades to digest this and return to the previous market level.

However, this will definitely be of great benefit to raising the average level of the entire cultivation world.

The reduced cost of crafting magical artifacts and treasures, coupled with the massive harvest of demon cores, has led to a several-fold increase in the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Furthermore, talismans and puppets related to monster materials have also seen significant development.

Within a few days, the human alliance built a temporary camp on the battlefield as a transit center.

The wounded and injured cultivators, along with the collected spoils of war, were all transported back to the Central Region by the ship.

After the war, the rewards will be distributed based on the merits earned in eliminating the demons.

Of course, the biggest spoils of war were not here, but awaited the army to reap in the far east.

Behind them, a new generation of soldiers disembarked one after another.

After a brief regrouping, they were assigned a mission: to pursue the fleeing demons along their escape route.

Whether or not we can catch up, we must at least prevent the demon race from scattering inland and forcing them to flee back to the Eastern Region.

Consequently, they had no choice but to flee to the open sea.

However, compared to the first batch of cultivators who joined the allied forces, these cultivators received at least half the merit for each demon they killed.

The difficulty levels differ, and the unknowns encountered also vary.

"The Dragon Lord's demonic body was dilapidated, as if it had been rotting for thousands of years. Its spiritual energy had long since dissipated, and its flesh and blood contained only toxins and had no value. The same was true for its bones; they would shatter into pieces at the slightest touch."

Yu Ziliang led the way, turning east and west, until they arrived at a hall that was clearly built in a standardized manner. It was the kind of large magical artifact that could be extended and moved, and could be moved by several people.

"On its entire body, only one reverse scale still retains its spirituality, and on it is a densely packed string of tiny characters. A rough observation suggests that it is the Great Dragon Chapter, which is very likely a cultivation method of the True Dragon Clan."

Just like the color of the Dragon Lord's demonic body, this reverse scale is black and gold intertwined, with an eerie, ghostly light shimmering within it.

Yu Ziliang offered his rebellious edge, thinking to himself how domineering the power of time was.

Surprisingly, after his death, the Dragon Lord was affected by the remaining power of time, causing him to age by thousands of years.

The hardest part of the skull had been deliberately refined by the Dragon Lord, making it, like the Netherworld Dragon Claw, a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

As a result, the scalpel hole on his forehead was perfectly round and smooth, and crucially, there wasn't even a single crack.

This indicates that the sword is extremely sharp and powerful; its light can cut through a person as easily as cutting tofu.

But then I thought, even the Nascent Soul Demon Lord died by his sword, so the Dragon Lord's death was not unjust.

"It can withstand the true meaning of time. Even if the Great Dragon Seal on it has no real value, it can still be considered a rare item."

Bai Zichen touched the small characters on it; they were clear and coherent, but many of the characters were ones he had never seen before.

The Great Dragon Chapter compiled in the cultivation world in the past was full of incompleteness and errors, and often had to be translated by guesswork.

The Great Dragon Chapter on this reverse scale is complete and coherent. Considering the extent of the involvement of the True Dragon Clan in the Heavenly Demon Realm, it is very likely a cultivation technique from the Upper Realm.

When it comes to translating such high-level, majestic dragon chapters, there are probably only a handful of masters in the entire cultivation world.

Bai Zichen could only hope that he could find a complete record of the Great Dragon Chapter in the Starry Sea or the old lair of Rotten Axe Mountain, and learn this demonic script.

"And these eyes, according to Huang Tingfeng's senior brothers, can be used to cultivate a powerful pupil technique—the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Pupil."

Yu Ziliang reached out and beckoned, and a palm of true energy picked up the two beads on the tray next to the Dragon Lord.

"The Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon were brought by the strongest True Dragon Demon Lord who descended to the world during the Middle Ages. It is said that he was at the Demon Saint level in the Heavenly Demon Realm. Someone once stole the cultivation method of the eye technique, but it was not something that could be achieved without even getting to the beginning. After achieving minor success, both eyes exploded."

"It seems that this method requires not only cultivation techniques but also a special bloodline inheritance. However, these eyes contain a trace of the Dragon Lord's essence blood and, after death, have condensed the essence of the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes. As long as he refines them, with True Monarch Bai's talent, he should be able to become the first human cultivator in the history of the cultivation world to master the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes."

"Only two eyeballs are left..."

Bai Zichen silently took it, only to find that it wasn't as disgusting as he had imagined once it was in his hand.

These two eyes, one yin and one yang, have become crystallized, and even upon close inspection, they still appear terrifyingly composed of countless lines.

A reverse scale, a pair of eyes, and the dragon soul that had already been given to Daoist Baoxuan became his entire harvest of demon slaying.

Moreover, none of these things can be put to immediate use.

Aside from lamenting inwardly, the true meaning of time is too tyrannical and domineering; using it to kill enemies easily results in losing the spoils of war.

Oh, and there are also the five dragon claws stuck in the Undying Cave True Bone on his chest.

Each of these five dragon claws, taken individually, is comparable to a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. If a suitable buyer is found, they can be exchanged for a considerable number of top-grade spirit stones.

"Didn't it leave behind any other treasures or top-grade spirit stones?"

Bai Zichen was quite dissatisfied with this achievement.

"All of the Dragon Lord's possessions should have been invested in his own demonic body, and many of them are comparable to the Heavenly Treasures... As for other wealth, it must have been left in the Starry Sea, so there's no way he would carry it with him."

Yu Ziliang dared not let the other party think that it was about managing the battlefield and clearing away the spoils of the cultivators.

"According to the existing regulations, since the Dragon Lord was captured by the True Lord, he will receive a share of the spoils in the Starry Sea, regardless of whether he participated or not."

"Very well, there must be some hidden books in the Starry Sea."

Bai Zichen's attitude towards the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Heavenly Demon Realm is very clear: using demonic thoughts to persist and carry out the act of possession is completely against the bottom line of the cultivation world.

If he stays quietly behind the scenes and doesn't cause trouble, he won't deliberately seek out trouble with those ancient people.

"Even a True Monarch with such strength needs to cultivate other techniques... What lineages in the cultivation world could pique your interest? Our sect can look into them on your behalf."

"If possible, please keep an eye out for soul-searching techniques for me, otherwise it will be difficult to interrogate the great demon's mind... Also, I've heard that the Dao lineage has Northern Heaven Divine Mud, and I hope to find a similar divine object overseas to help me quickly refine my flying sword."

The great battle is over, and Bai Zichen really doesn't know how the Moral Sect will handle it.

Only a few pieces of Northern Heavenly Divine Mud remain, and it was decisively rejected last time. Without any major changes, it's difficult to guess the Daoist Master's thoughts.

The only variable is whether it's necessary for the Dao Clan to forge this good relationship, given that Bai Zichen's strength is already comparable to that of Peak Master Huang Ting.

Bai Zichen himself did not want to ruin the current harmonious relationship with the Moral Sect, so he did not ask directly, but instead took a roundabout approach.

“I will definitely pay close attention to soul-searching spells and supernatural abilities… However, the human race still has more of these spells in its collection, especially Huang Tingfeng, who has made great improvements based on the techniques of his predecessors.”

Yu Ziliang remained expressionless and spoke.

"I will suggest to Patriarch Hongfa that these scriptures be added to the merit list, and can be exchanged by consuming a certain amount of demon-slaying merits. In addition, I have never heard of any divine objects among the demon race that can perform similar functions to the Northern Heaven Divine Mud. I will ask Senior Brother Cunsi Peak for advice."

"it is good."

Bai Zichen nodded in satisfaction; Yu Ziliang's statement was enough.

In the past, the reason why they wanted the Northern Heavenly Divine Mud was to refine the Southern Bright Fire Sword, but after this reversal and slaying of the Red-Eared Ancestor, the sword spirits have taken the initiative to jump out.

The Blade Spirit has wavered and is no longer as extremely resistant as it used to be.

I believe it won't be long before we can get back to normal refining methods.

However, one can never have too many divine objects like the Northern Heavenly Divine Mud; there are only a handful of well-known fifth-tier flying swords in the cultivation world.

He couldn't resort to force or robbery, so he could only target the demon race and the ancient demons who, like rats in a sewer, hid in the dark crevices of the earth.

The demon and monster races are both large and powerful. Even though they have weakened in recent years, it doesn't mean they can't protect the quality of their inherited treasures.

Similar to the Nanming Li Huo Sword, its sword spirit was severely damaged and fell into the mortal world, hiding in a place unknown to others.

At times like these, the Northern Heavenly Mud can come in handy.

"The monkey mountain that the Red-Eared Ancestor transformed into has been attacked and tested by cultivators in turn. Even those at the Core Formation level can't even shatter the soil. Those black iron-like trees have great resistance to magic and are extremely tough. Even if a third-tier flying sword cuts through them, it takes dozens of attempts."

Yu Ziliang then pointed to the remains of the Red-Eared Ancestor, which had now formed a mountain range.

Ordinary people think that killing a Nascent Soul Demon Lord will bring greater rewards, but at this level, each one can be considered a darling of heaven and earth, a lucky one favored by the Great Dao.

That's why when a human god-level being fell, heaven and earth grieved together, and the Great Dao manifested strange phenomena.

The Demon Lord of the Demon Clan transformed into a part of this world, thus truly existing forever.

Regardless of the type, they essentially represent the will of the Great Dao of this world not wanting the existence of a Nascent Soul cultivator to be dishonored, and that the physical body will not continue to exist in a conventional form after death.
