Born with immortal seed

Chapter 720 The Second Stone Tablet

"It was just that they saw the stone tablet was firmly rooted and was originally one with the ancient immortal mansion, so they were afraid that it would disturb the restrictions... but they didn't expect there to be another secret, which directly caused a Nascent Soul cultivator to die without any power to resist."

Bai Zichen felt a chill in his heart. He had absorbed the essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet the Nascent Soul cultivator had not escaped. The golden tadpole spirit script on the stone tablet seemed to have come to life, wandering back and forth.

What's terrifying is that I didn't sense a single fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Even if it were any other cultivator, they wouldn't survive if they lost their caution and prudence.

"The Great Wilderness Ancestor said that the Ancient Immortal Mansion is divided into three levels, and the treasure that can restrain the Nascent Soul stage is in the third level... It seems that we have to start with the stone tablet to enter the next level."

The Purple Seal True Lord let out a deep breath and spoke.

The entire first-floor herb garden, apart from this stone tablet, consists of various spiritual herbs; there's no room to explore the other areas.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, are you still hiding things at this point?"

Yun Zhongjun stared straight at him, his gaze already lifeless, now tinged with a chilling coldness.

"We're all in this together. If we don't speak frankly, how can we cooperate sincerely, how can we entrust our lives to each other, and fight against those old monsters together?"

The Purple Seal True Lord's understanding of the Ancient Immortal Abode certainly far exceeds what he revealed.

Everyone knew what was going on, which was normal; everyone wanted to gain an advantage in the Ancient Immortal Mansion.

But the situation is different now; before the real battle has even begun, some people have already met a tragic end.

No one wants to continue down this path in a daze; who knows how many more lives will have to be lost before reaching the end?

"The ancient immortal abode seems to have restrictions, making it difficult for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to enter. The Great Wilderness Ancestor has limited information... He only knows that this abode fell from the heavens and was not built by cultivators of this world."

Knowing that no one would believe him, True Monarch Ziyin said in a deep voice.

"If we really knew everything, the ancestor would have already found a way to take the treasure inside."

The cultivators remained silent, wondering if the stone tablet had any requirements similar to a blood sacrifice, requiring the life of a Nascent Soul cultivator to complete the ritual.

None of us are inexperienced young cultivators who can be easily persuaded or moved by a few words.

"Arguing about these things is useless. We're now in a dilemma. The right thing to do is to think about how to break the deadlock."

The robe worn by the Crimson Emperor was covered in feathers, making him resemble a magnificent celestial bird from afar.

True feathers bloomed on her face, covering her beautiful features and forming an exquisite mask.

"With both parents flourishing and plants growing luxuriantly... this is not a description, but a requirement, a rule, a principle that defines the course of heaven and earth."

Bai Zichen stared blankly at the stone tablet. The golden tadpole spirit script was out of order, and several characters were repeatedly surging in his sea of ​​consciousness.

High-level cultivators in the Western Sea cultivation world are generally quite proficient in the Golden Tadpole Spirit Script.

After all, the powerful figures who came here back then were merely seeking refuge from the world and were weary of war, which does not mean that their strength was much weaker.

The limited geographical area, to some extent, ensured that the tradition was not easily lost or scattered.

His understanding of this immortal script came from the Refining Void cultivator, Master Jiujing, which is the most authentic lineage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The subtle hidden meanings and the linguistic experience they evoke are far superior to any content that has been passed down through countless hands in the cultivation world.

Beneath the plain words lay an overwhelming aura that only cultivators well-versed in the Golden Tadpole Spirit Script could perceive.

"The spiritual plants here have an unusual growth pattern. Even when their habits clash, each plant remains plump and healthy, with not a single one withered or rotten. This is all due to a sentence on the stone tablet!"

When it comes to spiritual plant cultivation, the Jade Rabbit is already considered top-tier in the cultivation world.

In addition, their bloodline talent allows them to perform tasks that many fifth-tier plant masters cannot achieve.

However, he still admitted that if he were to take care of this medicinal herb garden, he would not be able to achieve the current results.

No matter how exaggerated the Golden Tadpole Spirit Pattern is, it's impossible for it to change the rules of a place and persist for tens of thousands of years with just the power of characters.

This is clearly the work of a powerful being who inscribed the words on the stone tablet, whose strength far exceeds our imagination.

Bai Zichen had seen those Void Refinement cultivators who had sealed their cultivation levels and descended to the realm, but from the surface, none of them seemed capable of doing this.

It can only be said that there are differences in strength between those who descend to the realm of refinement and those who refine emptiness.

"Since it's caused by the stone tablet, let's gather all the spiritual plants here and see what changes occur..."

With a wave of his sleeve, True Lord Ziyin made his decision.

The team originally consisted of seventeen people, but one died, leaving sixteen remaining.

The seal at his waist flew into the sky, sweeping across the entire herb garden and dividing it into twenty even sections.

Each person chooses one piece, while the four Great True Lords may each take two pieces.

Among them, Hou Jun only has the combat power of a Great True Lord when he burns his true blood. Ke Lizhi's true body is not present, so he has his grandson carry the ancient zither and descends by borrowing the instrument at the critical moment.

They weren't even considered complete Great True Lords, and their treatment was the same as everyone else's.

At least on the surface, the Purple Seal True Lord's method of classification is basically fair, and no one has any objections.

They all selected a region and couldn't wait to go and gather medicinal herbs.

"Master, go and pick that Nine-Petaled Treasure Flower! It's ripe and can be consumed directly... The petals bring wisdom, and the stamens enlighten the mind; both are of great benefit to the true meaning of the Great Dao for Nascent Soul cultivators."

The jade rabbit urged anxiously, hopping back and forth in the cave.

Bai Zichen would certainly not refuse the suggestion of a master of spiritual plants, and in a flash, he was already on that spiritual field.

However, they were a step too late; a cultivator had already stopped there.

“If Senior Su has taken a liking to this place, I will find another location… When you pick the flowers, please be careful not to touch them directly. These flowers don’t seem to belong to the Five Elements, and touching them may cause them to lose their spirituality.”

The man, carrying a guqin on his back and speaking softly, was Coolidge's grandson.

He must be quite accomplished in the field of spiritual plants. Although he didn't recognize the Nine-Petaled Treasure Flower, he was very observant and pointed to the fallen leaves with his finger.

The leaf fell to the ground and instantly turned into a puddle of clear water, merging into the soil.

In this environment filled with Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he could only find it extremely difficult to move forward, as the aftershocks of every battle would plunge him into crisis.

Despite having the ancient zither and other rare treasures protecting him, Coolidge's arrival speed and intentions are questionable.

This is far from enough to save your life.

"it is good."

Bai Zichen took a careful look, memorized his appearance, squatted down, grabbed the roots and soil of the Nine-Petaled Treasure Flower, and threw it into the cave.

This would certainly not work for others, but he had the Jade Rabbit, a master of spiritual plants, in his cave, who made the arrangements immediately.

They selected the most suitable location within the grotto and adjusted the earth's spiritual energy to allow the Nine-Petaled Treasure Flower to regain its vitality.

Needless to say, the other medicinal herbs were swept away like a storm, leaving behind a bare ground.

On another sacred land, there is a ten-thousand-year-old sand pear tree, which is shaped like a pear tree, with yellow flowers and red fruit.

According to the Jade Rabbit, the fruit of this tree can be eaten to ward off water and is more compatible with water-based spiritual energy.

The branches of the sand crabapple tree can be cut to make boats, as it is naturally able to withstand wind and waves and control water flow.

It is the best wood for making some exquisite spirit boats, leaving more space to inscribe other restrictive magic arrays.

They planted something in the cave, instantly making a murky river clear.

Countless roots spread out, gathering fine sand and silt together to form a sand dune in the river.

Besides these two fifth-tier spiritual plants, there were over a hundred other fourth-tier herbs and trees of various kinds, which dazzled the Jade Rabbit.

Some of them are so unique that even the Jade Rabbit cannot distinguish them; they are species that have long been extinct in the cultivation world of Zuzhou and have never been seen even in ancient books.

However, given its natural talent, after planting it for a period of time and collecting its branches and leaves and crushing them, it can quickly acquire the temperament, habits, uses, and effects of a spiritual plant.

Bai Zichen didn't need to take inventory or do any follow-up work, so his actions were naturally the fastest.

They cleaned up both plots of land, leaving no seedlings behind, while others hadn't even finished half of their work.

Just as we were quietly observing the inscription on the stone tablet, after all twenty sacred sites had been harvested, a white glow indeed fell, and the stone tablet slowly rotated.

The side with the golden tadpole spirit script completely turned around, and the blank surface of the stele faced the cultivator. A complex array was then revealed in front of the stele.

"A short-range teleportation array...it seems the second level of the Ancient Immortal Abode cannot be reached directly..."

True Monarch Ziyin sighed softly, understanding that the cultivators had developed distrust and resistance towards him, and at this time, he was the only one who could go first.

After checking that the teleportation array was undamaged and could be used normally, they filled it with spirit stones and stood on it.

The formation was activated, and the figure disappeared within it.

The other cultivators followed one by one, and each flash of spiritual light meant that a cultivator was teleported away.

This short-distance teleportation array, at most a few dozen miles, does not require a teleportation order and has no effect on Nascent Soul cultivators.

After the teleportation ended, Bai Zichen felt no dizziness whatsoever. He only saw a vast expanse of white mudflats covered with salt crystals.

Ziyin Zhenjun and the others had already flown far away, searching everywhere for the stone tablet.

Based on the experience from the first level, the key to leaving the second level is still the stone tablet; you need to see what the characters written on it mean.

Bai Zichen spread his divine sense, and after a moment his expression changed. Just as he stood up, he heard a cry of surprise from the other side.

"Found it! Found the stone tablet!"

Using his escape technique, Bai Zichen arrived at the stone tablet ahead of the others; it was larger than the one on the first level.

The same style, the same texture, the only difference is the inscription on the stele.

Objects in this place cannot be imbued with life, and demons and beasts cannot take human form.

Bai Zichen was startled and his first reaction was to look at Hou Jun. This person had the blood of a demon, and he wondered if he was under any restrictions.

At the same time, I tried to communicate with the sword spirits of the flying swords, but all attempts failed and there was no response.

Only the Purple Star Thunder Sword could still make intermittent sounds, but it was saying that it was very tired to be here and wanted to fall asleep.

It was only because the little purple sword spirit was of a high enough rank that it was able to withstand part of the damage.

Looking into the cave, the jade rabbit that had been hopping around suddenly fell to the ground, turning into a gray rabbit. With a shriek, the gray shadow flashed a few times and then disappeared without a trace.

Bai Taotao, on the other hand, was completely unaffected and remained in human form, refining the incomplete innate spiritual root she had swallowed.

All I can say is that this Golden Tadpole Spirit Text is domineering enough, even governing the flying sword in the dantian and the natal spirit beast in the cave.

"what!"

Hou Jun let out a howl. It seems that the demon bloodline still affected him. Perhaps the half-blooded demon was slightly less affected.

Its tail ripped through its Taoist robe, and its face changed shape, covered in golden monkey fur.

"This stone tablet doesn't point directly to the spiritual plant like the one on the previous level. How can we solve this puzzle and activate the teleportation array to the final level?"

The Crimson Emperor's robes fell silent, returning him to his normal attire.

This change shows that the robe has also reached the level of a Heavenly Treasure.
