Born with immortal seed

Chapter 666 Spirit Beast Bloodline Enhancement Completed

"A total of twelve pieces of fifth-order star iron were mined from the Shattered Star Abyss. As usual, they will not be included in the exchange list... Please choose six pieces first, and I will take the rest back to the sect."

Yu Ziliang conjured up a jade plate, on which were displayed colorful extraterrestrial iron.

The most precious spiritual materials discovered here to date are all found here.

This has been the norm in the pioneering wars. Unless a thorny problem arises that requires bringing in strong individuals from outside, the top share is only distributed internally and will not be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders.

The Daode Sect does not restrict the supply of spiritual objects at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul levels, and even provides open supply of breakthrough pills, because the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs is insignificant in its eyes.

If it involves fifth-order items, restrictions will also be imposed, prioritizing internal supply.

Only after all the leftovers have been sorted out will one or two items remain to be added to the redemption list.

"How nostalgic the Five Crystal Divine Iron is..."

Bai Zichen reached out and a fist-sized, crystalline spirit ore flew over.

Five colors flow evenly across the top, perfectly round and seamless.

It was the Five-Crystal Divine Iron, a top-grade fifth-tier spiritual material that he had once coveted, which he later obtained in the battle of Zengguang Immortal City, thus achieving the Five-Crystal Glazed Body.

Before he reached the Nascent Soul stage and before he used the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box to set up the Star River Sword Formation, this body-refining technique was his greatest trump card.

He saved me from danger many times, but his importance diminished as his strength grew too rapidly.

In fact, the Five Crystal Glazed Body alone is enough to secure a place among fourth-tier body tempering cultivators.

With the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, specializing in body cultivation, he is no weaker than the Great True Monarch of the Great Sun Holy Sect.

However, Bai Zichen clearly has a better future in swordsmanship, and the strength he displays is on a completely different level.

Naturally, they wouldn't go to great lengths to cultivate body-strengthening techniques.

Seeing the Five Crystal Divine Iron again today evokes many emotions.

Bai Zichen accepted the Five-Crystal Divine Iron as a souvenir, and then glanced at the remaining extraterrestrial iron.

Aside from a few duplicates, there were two items I couldn't name, and they didn't match the list of extraterrestrial items I remembered.

"What are these two called, and what are they used for?"

Bai Zichen casually tapped the screen and asked the question directly.

"This is the White Stone Celestial Crystal, which should be the first time it has appeared in the cultivation world... One of our sect's ancestors once traveled beyond the heavens and discovered one in a star that was extremely decaying and about to perish."

Yu Ziliang remained expressionless, glancing at her calmly before speaking.

"It does not belong to the Five Elements and has no attributes, making it the best main material for refining certain special treasures, such as spatial magic treasures."

"Because it is so rare, our sect did not use it for experiments and it remains in our archives as a sample."

"As for the other Phoenix Eye Divine Iron, our sect's disciples from Cunsi Peak have collected several pieces, but unfortunately, we have not yet discovered its best use."

"That's all. You can take the rest back to the Moral Sect."

Bai Zichen hesitated for a moment, then quickly made his choice.

The Five Crystal Divine Iron and the White Stone Celestial Crystal are both top-grade fifth-tier materials, while the other three are various types of gold essences that have just entered the fifth tier, making them the most suitable for sword forging.

At his level, there's no need to be so calculating; as long as the approximate value is equivalent, that's fine.

In fact, due to the limitations of weapon crafting in the mortal realm, the value of high-grade spiritual materials is far less than that of spiritual herbs of the same grade.

No matter how skilled the weapon refiner or how good the refining materials, the upper limit is a top-grade magic weapon.

Even if it is luxuriously crafted using only fifth-grade spiritual materials, the moment it is successfully refined, it can only be a top-grade magic weapon.

It will simply face the Heavenly Tribulation of Spiritual Treasure immediately, and be promoted to a Spiritual Treasure.

In such an environment, naturally no one would pursue the path of weapon crafting in depth; the fourth rank was the peak.

The profession of weapon refiner has been completely overtaken by alchemist and array master, and even has less room for development than some of the more popular professions in the cultivation world.

Similarly, top-tier magical treasures in the cultivation world are usually transmitted from the upper realm and refined in the mortal realm, with very few advancing through the ranks.

If a spiritual treasure wants to advance, aside from cheat-like methods like the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box, the best way is to refine it and then store it in the dantian and sea of ​​qi.

Only by being nourished by one's own vital essence and replenished by the nascent soul every day can one make rapid progress.

However, this process takes at least several hundred years, and a Nascent Soul True Monarch might only advance one level from possessing a spiritual treasure to passing away.

If it is passed down to future generations, it will need to be refined again, and the tacit understanding between it and the spirit will need to be cultivated, which will take even longer.

This path is so arduous, it's no wonder that cultivators prefer to pursue the treasures left behind by the upper realms rather than cultivate them themselves.

The story of the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master and the Measuring Ruler growing together sounds wonderful, but not everyone can learn from it.

Bai Zichen already felt that unless he incurred the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people in the cultivation world and forcibly seized the hidden swords of several major sword sects, it would be too far-fetched to collect twelve fifth-order flying swords.

You must learn to be content. Even the Star River Sword Master back then couldn't manage to use only fourth-tier flying swords.

Right now, he not only has no shortage of fourth-tier flying swords, but he even has a sixth fifth-tier flying sword.

When it comes to the fortune of flying swords, not only in the present, but also throughout history, no one can compare.

The Azure Lotus Sword Sect can be considered the most representative sword-cultivation sect besides the Taibai Sword Sect, and it only has three great divine swords.

Among them was the Nanming Li Huo Sword, which eventually ended up in Bai Zichen's box after many twists and turns.

One person's wealth can equal the accumulated wealth of several sword-cultivating sects over tens of thousands of years.

Having prepared these fifth-tier metal essences and extraterrestrial iron, I have an idea to forge a fifth-tier flying sword in the Earthly Immortal Realm after my ascension.

Upon reaching the Upper Realm, the upper limit for weapon crafting is raised to the Spirit Treasure level, with the most outstanding individuals being those who can transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

While it may seem like the restrictions have been relaxed, it is actually taken into consideration that there have been Mahayana immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the refining of magic weapons has only been upgraded by one level.

From this perspective, weapon refiners are in an even more awkward position than they would be in the mortal realm.

Beyond the Heavenly Treasure, the higher the rank, the less the weapon refiner can improve; they can only gradually strengthen the source and enhance the weapon spirit.

Unlike the mortal realm, those who refine their emptiness and even merge with the body experience a significant increase in lifespan.

This makes it feasible for cultivators to refine and nurture their natal treasures, allowing them to grow and progress together.

"Furthermore, our sect should also receive half of the spoils from the Chongming Sea..."

Yu Ziliang put away the jade plate and said hesitantly.

Before coming, he had thought about these words many times in his mind, thinking about how to say them more appropriately.

"Send someone to the Chongming Sea to find Chen Ze, a disciple of the Fish-Dragon Sect. He will lead you down there... However, there is a crystal palace at the bottom of the sea that I have not yet figured out. Do not let anyone enter casually, lest they lose their lives in vain."

Bai Zichen paused slightly, then nodded in agreement.

The way the Daode Sect handled this matter seemed more like upholding the rules than coveting the spoils of the Chongming Sea.

Anyway, his target wasn't here. He originally intended to leave the turtle remains in the turtle cemetery on the seabed of Chongming Sea to the Qingfeng Sect and the Yulong Sect.

"Thank you for understanding my difficulties, True Lord."

Yu Ziliang repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting, and his tone became lighter.

"With Senior Brother Hong passing away, we've lost a Great True Lord. Should we issue a call for recruitment in the interior to find another Great True Lord to assist us?"

"No need, you just need to manage the cultivators below. I need the pioneering alliance to maintain its combat strength in the next few years, to participate in continuous low-intensity wars, and to restore morale. If we encounter any difficulties in conquering the Starry Sea, I will take action."

Bai Zichen waved his hand, the shortage of one or two Great True Monarchs was nothing to him.

The capable should do more, and it's time for me to show my strength and give the Black Sea Demon Clan, who have never been to the inland, a little shock with my sword immortal skills.

He wanted to ensure that, millions of years later, the legend of the Sword Lord of Time would still circulate in this sea, causing all demons to tremble at the mere mention of his name.

Even after one leaves, the sect can still rely on its reputation to continue its legacy for several more generations.

However, the allied forces in their current state are not suited for another long-distance trek, especially a naval campaign.

The tedious journey alone, lasting for months, can be unbearable for newlyweds.

The morale that had just begun to recover could very well plummet again due to a minor setback.

This requires regaining the feeling of victory through wars against the weaker demon races in the vicinity.

At the same time, those who were no longer suitable to stay in the army were removed, and after receiving sufficient compensation for their merits, they were allowed to leave directly to avoid affecting morale.

"Yes, I will not disappoint the True Lord."

Yu Ziliang waited a while, and seeing that the person at the head of the table did not say anything more, he backed away from the wooden house.

……

Morning bells and evening drums, seasons flow by.

Due to its unique geographical location, only once a year will a wave break through the canyon and rush into the abyss.

Therefore, the Shattered Star Abyss, which is isolated from the outside world, is not only home to the descendants of wild beasts, but also to fish, shrimp, and crabs brought by the waves.

During the years that Bai Zichen lived in a secluded wooden cabin and devoted himself to cultivation, there were a total of ten waves that rose higher than the canyon.

Waves crashed against the rock face, their roar carrying far and wide.

"Should I focus on improving my cultivation level first, aiming for the Nascent Soul stage, or should I proceed step by step and gradually master all the cultivation techniques..."

Bai Zichen opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing a flame that was swirling in front of him. The temperature in the wooden house instantly dropped by dozens of degrees.

However, the abnormally high temperature that had previously made it seem as if everything in the air was on fire, this flammable little wooden house somehow managed to survive.

Let alone a fire, there wasn't even a charred patch or a single spark.

Over the past ten years, without taking a single step, he has finally successfully refined the Nanming Lihuo Sword into his natal flying sword.

All five slots for his natal flying swords, which he had gained by cultivating the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture, were taken up.

This flying sword was inherently the most unruly; if it weren't for the fact that the sword spirit was moved by it during the great war between the human and demon races and hadn't responded on its own initiative...

Refining it on my own without the sword spirit's cooperation, even reaching the Nascent Soul stage is still a long way off.

The Nanming Fire Sword is not only known for its intense high-temperature flames; that is merely its basic ability.

The Demon-Refining Treasure is specifically designed to destroy evil and strange treasures; many heavenly flames can do the same.

The sword intent of this sword shifts back and forth between tangible and intangible forms.

Only after truly becoming the master of the Nanming Li Huo Sword can one understand its true meaning and leverage its power.

The essence of the Southern Fire slowly moved to the right palm, suddenly becoming transparent. When the gaze was shifted away, it returned to its normal form.

"The superposition of matter and intangibility, doing as one pleases, is elusive... If one continues down this path, one will encounter the profound mystery of the mutual generation and restraint between the innate and acquired, which is mysterious and profound."

Bai Zichen let out a long breath, returned to the state of the Nanming Li Huo Sword, let out a clear hum, and returned to the Wushang Qingwei Sword Box.

This is the problem he is facing now. There are so many areas where he can work hard to improve, and it is difficult to distinguish the priorities at a time.

Just like the sword intent gleaned from the refining process of the Nanming Li Huo Sword, as long as one is willing to spend more than a hundred years of effort, it will become another path to heaven.

Once you understand it, you'll practically be immortal.

As long as one doesn't want to die, unless attacked by a power of the Great Dao far exceeding that of others of the same level, there is absolutely no need to worry.

Besides, related to swordsmanship, there are improvements to the "One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Techniques" theory, corrections to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique, and even the "Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique" which can be practiced.

In terms of cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, there is room for improvement in techniques such as the Cantong Qi, Zhulong Yin Yang Tong, and Jiutian Duan Gu Jue, the kind that can produce immediate results with time investment.

But none of these things are simple, and they will inevitably take up a lot of his time and energy.

The day of advancing to the perfect Nascent Soul stage will be postponed again.

"Actually, the Nanming Li Huo Sword was refined into my natal flying sword several months ago, but I was still savoring the profound mystery of the superposition of tangible and intangible elements and did not immediately withdraw from the cultivation state. But today I suddenly awoke, as if something was about to happen..."

Bai Zichen stood up and looked around the room with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

At his level, spiritual sensations no longer occur without reason; they must be related to something closely concerning him.

With a quick calculation, the copper coin moved back and forth in his palm, and he soon realized something.

Looking at the two pools of blood, it was clear that ten years was far from enough for the pools to recover; they remained only a shallow layer.

It is estimated that it will take hundreds of years to recover, allowing the demon race to heal their injuries by soaking in the blood pool.

Snapped!
The blood cocoon on the Jade Rabbit shattered, revealing a Moon Shadow Treasure Rabbit lying flat and floating in the air, looking much larger than before.

After an incense stick had burned, it hopped around on its four legs before slowly opening its bright red pupils.

"What a magical blood pool! It's like returning to the womb, tracing the source of my bloodline in warmth... I never imagined that in addition to the bloodline of the Moon Shadow Rabbit, I also have the bloodline of the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Rabbit, though it's extremely weak, less than one-tenth."

The Jade Rabbit transformed back into human form, its small body hopping and skipping as it arrived in front of Bai Zichen, reporting in a sweet and coquettish voice.

It stretched out its hands, and the Taoist robe rolled up, with two silver lines growing from its forearms.

It is said to be the shape of a spiritual herb from the celestial demon realm, symbolizing eternal youth and the peak of life, which is the symbol of the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit has a keen sense of smell, which complements its longevity, making it almost twice that of ordinary rabbit-type monsters.

It perfectly compensates for the shortcomings of the Moon Shadow Jade Rabbit, and also has a unique advantage in tracking and discovering rare flowers and herbs.

Regardless of the type, the Jade Rabbit's bloodline indicates that it is not skilled in combat and is only good at logistical work in the rear.

Fortunately, being Bai Zichen's spirit beast doesn't require one to stand alone or possess great strength.

Another month passed, and Gun Gun, whose cultivation level was even lower, finished absorbing the blood mist and shakily got up from the ground.

"Squeak, squeak, I can talk now..."

Gun Gun looks exactly the same as before, the only difference being that he has finally refined his transverse bone and can speak human language, no longer needing to communicate through divine sense.
