Born with immortal seed

Chapter 667 The Re-established Immortal Abode Overseas

"Come here and let me see."

Bai Zichen smiled, after all, he had taken in a spirit beast when it was in the Foundation Establishment stage and raised it from a cub to today.

In his heart, Gun Gun ranked only below a few close relatives.

"My head is filled with so much knowledge, like a giant palace. Even just lingering at the entrance, I've gained countless insights..."

Rolling around vigorously with its two short arms, still not understanding what bloodline it had activated.

Unlike the Jade Rabbit, both the Moon Shadow Treasure Rabbit and the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Rabbit are fourth-tier bloodlines with no significant difference, making them easy to accept.

The bloodline hidden within the panda's body is significantly higher than that of the Tai Chi Bear.

"These patterns...the bloodline of the Bai Ze demon god!"

The jade rabbit, with its sharp eyes, noticed the cloud patterns under the fur on the rolling ears and the flame patterns on the palm, and exclaimed in surprise.

“Master, when I was at Rotten Axe Mountain, besides tending to plants and spiritual plants, I also studied the books in the library, especially those describing the Heavenly Demon Realm.”

"In the Heavenly Demon Realm, there are three strongest demon gods who can rival the human race's perfected Integration Realm experts. Among them is the Bai Ze Demon God, a wise man among demons with wisdom that reaches the heavens and the earth. Even alien races have countless people who come to join his ranks."

Despite its shock, the Jade Rabbit did not forget to explain.

"The Bai Ze demon god has cloud patterns on his face, fire imprints in his palms, thunder marks on his feet, red hair and horns, and can fly on four legs. He understands the feelings of all things and knows the affairs of ghosts and gods."

"In the Heavenly Demon Realm, he is the most revered demon god among all demons."

When Gun Gun saw that its eyes were on it, it sat down on the ground helplessly and then lifted its feet up.

Sure enough, each of their chubby soles had a lightning mark.

"The bloodline of the Demon God, it really is the bloodline of the Demon God... If you were in the Heavenly Demon Realm, as long as you could manifest the three major patterns, all the forces would praise you highly and cultivate you as a key talent."

The Jade Rabbit's eyes were red, and it was impossible to tell whether it was natural or jealousy that made them even redder.

It's hard to understand how such a lazy and foolish bear beast could be associated with the Bai Ze Demon Saint, who is known for his wisdom.

"Demon God bloodline, no wonder your spiritual sense is so amazing. I really don't know how you ended up in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain... A direct descendant of the Demon God, you are destined to become a Demon Saint. Your bloodline is not pure, but at least you should have no problem cultivating to the Demon Venerable realm."

Bai Zichen looked the panda up and down, never expecting that the seemingly harmless and docile panda had such a background.

He had thought that even with his constant provision of cultivation resources, the bloodline constraint meant that Gun Gun's ability to reach the fourth-tier great demon realm was already its limit.

Unless you can accompany him to ascend to the upper realm and enjoy the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the Earthly Immortal Realm, you will not have another chance to break through.

But looking at it now, he's guaranteed to be a Demon Lord, and might even be able to challenge for the title of Demon Saint.

After all that, it turns out that the panda is the beast that can stay by your side the longest.

For demonic beasts, bloodline is of paramount importance.

The original Gun Gun faced countless difficulties on its path to the fourth tier. If it weren't for having a master like Bai Zichen, it would have been nothing but a weakened Tai Chi Bear with no fighting ability.

However, once Bai Ze's bloodline manifests, there will be no bottleneck for Gun Gun before the Demon Lord appears. He only needs to wait for his blood and qi to grow stronger and his physical body to improve.

Those who are more ambitious can diligently cultivate the bloodline techniques passed down from their memories and consume more flesh and blood rich in essence, thus accelerating their growth.

"Have you mastered any extraordinary supernatural powers? I've heard that the Bai Ze Demon God doesn't leave his cave, yet he knows the changes in the world, foresees the human race's plans, and has thwarted the attacks of the Earthly Immortal Realm many times. Every junior demon who has the honor of meeting him will receive guidance, and their shortcomings can be greatly improved in a short period of time."

The Jade Rabbit felt a pang of envy and dared not treat the Rolling Bun as casually as before.

Despite their current vastly different cultivation levels, the activation of their demon god bloodlines has transformed them into demons from two different worlds.

A hundred years from now, it may still be standing still, while the pandas will have completely overtaken it.

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, she wouldn't even have the right to stand before Gun Gun and serve him; the veneration of bloodlines there is countless times greater than in the human world.

"It seems not. I've only gained a new supernatural ability to see into the heavens and measure the earth. Once I master the ability to become invisible at will, even telepathic communication will be ineffective in front of me."

Gun Gun was still in a daze, rubbing his nose, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Alright, let's try to start the path to human form before the end of the pioneering war... By the way, once your hidden bloodline is activated, can you still transform at the fourth tier?"

Bai Zichen doesn't expect Gun Gun to rush to the front lines and fight; he just wants him to continue improving in his own strengths.

"No, it's not even certain if I can transform into human form at the fifth rank... The demonic energy within my body is much smoother now, but there's also an additional layer of restriction, I can feel it."

Gun Gun shook its head like a rattle drum, just like a wild beast; an excessively powerful bloodline can bring about this problem.

There's no such thing as having it all. If you enjoy the power that comes with a bloodline, you have to endure the pain of refining that bloodline.

Wild beasts cannot transform into human form at the fourth tier because it is impossible for them to condense a human form capable of containing the power of their true form at this stage.

The same principle applies to those with strong bloodlines.

The stronger one is by nature, the more difficult the path to human form becomes.

Unexpectedly, the biggest beneficiary after conquering Shattered Star Abyss became Rolling.

……

Several months later, the reclamation war was opened to independent cultivators on a limited basis.

In the near-shore area, independent cultivators are now allowed to enter. As long as the desolate islands do not bear the exclusive marks of the Moral Sect and Bai Zichen, others can directly settle in them.

It takes at least a Tier 3 spiritual land to be designated as a reserve, so that those who made contributions in the pioneering war can exchange for it later.

These independent cultivators hunted groups of demonic beasts, occupied islands with low-level spiritual veins, and established one temporary market after another.

The influx of hundreds of thousands of independent cultivators instantly brought life to the coastal area.

Almost every larger island was inhabited, with ships crisscrossing the sea and churning up debris everywhere.

As the only sect on the Black Sea besides the Morality Sect, the Fish-Dragon Sect has attracted much attention.

Some people are puzzled and curious as to why someone has already occupied the largest island in the near sea before the spirit vein exchange has even been opened.

They had also heard of the Fish-Dragon Sect and offered their explanations.

It's a pity that the Fish Dragon Sect has too few disciples; otherwise, given its outstanding position, it could have taken the opportunity to intervene in many places.

However, over the past ten years, the Fish-Dragon Sect has not made much of a splash in the coastal waters.

Many independent cultivators came to the Fish Dragon Sect, trying to persuade them to cooperate, but they were all resolutely rejected.

In the end, he offended quite a few people.

The independent cultivator organizations that dared to roam the outer seas all had some kind of backing. After finding out about the background of the Fish-Dragon Sect, no one dared to say another word.

Each year, the Fish Dragon Sect selects only thirty disciples with clean backgrounds and potential from among the young independent cultivators to fill the sect's manpower shortage.

Over the years, we've finally managed to get a basic roster of disciples at the grassroots level.

“Nephew Master, I will be leaving Chilong Island with several other elders in the next few days... If we encounter any danger, you may take refuge first and wait for my return, or send a letter to Fellow Daoist Li.”

Chen Ze led the other Core Formation cultivators from several other lineages, standing in the main hall. The sunlight shone directly on him, creating dappled shadows that were broken up by the pillars.

"It's nothing, there's a protective formation that no one below the Nascent Soul stage can break... I wonder if it's important that all of you senior uncles left at once?"

Compared to more than ten years ago, when Bai Youyi had just left Black Mountain and was shy and unaccustomed to becoming the head of a sect from a family of cultivators, he is now quite adept at it.

Referring to the feudal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been jointly signed and issued by the Moral Sect and the Qingfeng Sect.

They established their lineage in the Eastern Regions and the Black Sea, and it was clearly stipulated that they could not be attacked within three generations.

Anyone who violates this rule will be jointly destroyed by both families.

No matter how many dirty tricks and schemes you have behind the scenes, you can't bring them out into the open.

The introduction of this system was intended to give the Moral Sect confidence in its core base, to prevent the exploitation of those who had left behind their families, and to relieve participants in the pioneering war of any worries about their future.

The Qingfeng Sect was instantly elevated from an obscure minor sect in the Northern Region to a level comparable to the Daode Sect.

All of this should rightfully be attributed to Bai Zichen.

The statement only gains credibility with the signature of this "Sword Master of Time".

It is under this premise that Bai Youyi is confident in her personal safety even without the personal protection of her two ancestral disciples.

Regardless of the reason, Chen Ze and the others were the ones who least wanted something to happen to him, and they had been trying to dissuade Bai Youyi from leaving Chilong Island for years.

If the first sect leader under the feudal system dies young, it's as if he's under a curse, and subsequent sect leaders will always die for various strange and unusual reasons.

This has been proven many times in the Central Region.

Now, Chen Ze and his group need the Fish-Dragon Sect as a stage. They can make a comparison by looking at the plight of those independent cultivators without sects in the Black Sea.

Given his connection with Bai Zichen, Chen Ze is even less likely to let go.

This is the easiest relationship to cultivate. Without this connection, how could a few Core Formation cultivators be qualified to face the Time True Lord directly?

"We were just about to head to Shattered Star Abyss to pay our respects to Ancestor Bai when we obtained a relic in the sea that we were going to present to him... Today we finally received a reply, telling us to hurry over as soon as possible."

Chen Ze said calmly, unable to suppress a hint of smugness.

"Oh, I see... That's a big deal, we can't delay, let's set off immediately."

Bai Youyi's face stiffened, and it took her a while to recover.

After Chen Ze and the others left, he pushed aside the crystal ornament in front of him, which fell heavily to the ground.

"They actually managed to secretly contact the ancestor. Who made the connection for them?"

Bai Youyi was filled with unease; the news was like a bolt from the blue for him.

His greatest advantage was that he was a member of the Bai family and had Bai Zichen protecting him.

The holy sons and daughters of those Nascent Soul sects, and those cultivators who were just one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage, were all very polite when facing him.

This was clearly not because they valued his cultivation potential, but rather because they were wary of the people behind him.

Even if they know the relationship isn't close, no one dares to take the risk of offending them.

This is a very simple matter in itself, but when placed within the special framework of the Fish-Dragon Sect, it is worth pondering.

"Even if it's to present a treasure to our ancestors, there's no need to keep it from me and prepare for so long in advance, and to have everyone mobilize at the same time..."

Bai Youyi became increasingly suspicious, feeling uneasy and fearful, and found Chen Ze and the others' behavior highly questionable.

We can only wait for Li Guizhen to return and report the situation to this guest minister.

Although they are descendants of the same clan, Bai Youyi still needs to go through Li Guizhen to meet him; otherwise, she won't even be able to see the holy face of her own ancestor.

……

With the conquest of Chongming Sea and Shattered Star Abyss, only Starry Sea remains of the three great demon clan holy lands of the Black Sea.

I learned this name after Bai Zichen was hunted down as a remnant of the Fish-Dragon Sect and nearly lost his life.

It was only after obtaining the jade slip left by the Bai family's ancestor that they understood exactly what kind of beings the Dragon Lord and the Starry Sea were.

Despite never having set foot on the Black Sea, he hadn't missed a single piece of information about the Starry Sea. He was terrified whenever he heard any news about overseas, fearing that he didn't know enough about this most powerful and terrifying opponent.

With the prospect of sweeping away the Starry Sea right before his eyes, Bai Zichen immediately became excited.

"It's time for me to destroy the Starry Sea, to shatter the nightmare in my heart from my youth, and to end a cycle."

Bai Zichen stood in the air, watching warships slowly emerge from the Shattered Star Abyss.

With morale high, the cultivators on board shouted wildly as each ship passed through the canyon, using terms like "Nascent Soul Pill" and "Fourth-Order Spirit Vein".

Over the course of ten years, these cultivators mined extraterrestrial iron and hunted nearby monsters. Each of them accumulated enough merit points to help another cultivator achieve Core Formation.

Many cultivators who had reached the advancement requirements directly exchanged for Core Formation spiritual items and launched their attempts in the Shattered Star Abyss.

It's a fourth-tier spiritual vein, after all. The cultivation environment back home might not be as good as here.

Regardless of whether they succeed or fail in their promotion, these people will develop new goals, including even those who have reached the Core Formation stage or the Nascent Soul stage.

Even the Great True Lord of September, dragging his weary body, has persevered from the start of the war between the human and demon races until today, all for the sake of a chance to obtain the Holy Water of Everlasting Spring.

Once he succeeds, his status in the history of the Five Thunder Sect will be no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This can be considered as realizing one's own value from another perspective.

"I didn't expect that the Fish Dragon Sect's deep-sea immortal abode is so close to the Starry Sea... I might as well go and open it on the way to see what else is hidden inside."

Thinking of the sea chart that Chen Ze sent through Li Guizhen, the location of the Immortal Abode marked on it was exactly between the Starry Sea and the Shattered Star Abyss, slightly off the course by several hundred miles.

Back then, Bai Zichen longed for this deep-sea immortal abode.

The Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Fish-Dragon Sect obtained the cultivation method of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, a drop of sacred beast essence blood, and a bag of Azure Dragon Spirit Rice, laying the foundation for the Fish-Dragon Sect's prosperity for ten thousand years.

It can only be said that the Fish-Dragon Sect, isolated in the open sea, has a limited pool of talent to choose from, and the number of immortal seedlings selected from the Myriad Star Islands is far from enough.

For many years, no truly exceptionally talented disciple emerged.

With such favorable conditions, it's understandable that no one comprehends the true meaning of time, nor does anyone delve into the Dao of the Sword, and no one has ever entertained the thought of retracing the path of the Immortal Abode.

They're just sitting on the foundation of their sect, living off its resources until it's all gone.

If we had a few disciples of the same caliber as Senior Brother Ge Cang, we could leverage our geographical advantage to grow stronger and resonate with Cunsi Peak.

At that time, Cunsi Peak most hoped that a sect could share its burdens in the sea, and that it would be generous and lavish in providing assistance.

Even if the strongest member of the sect has the cultivation of a Great True Monarch, a Dragon Lord whose strength has not yet reached its peak would definitely not be able to break through Chilong Island.

After receiving the message from his disciple and reading the hand-drawn content by Chen Ze, Bai Zichen immediately made this decision.

Adding the Deep Sea Fairy Abode, which I couldn't visit years ago, to my itinerary will not only satisfy my curiosity but may also unravel my doubts and bring unexpected gains.
