Born with immortal seed

Chapter 721

"Objects shall not be imbued with life, and beasts shall not take human form..."

Yun Zhongjun shook the Yin-Yang Golden Pill on his wrist, but there was no response. Looking at Hou Jun, who had revealed his true form, he could vaguely sense some clues.

"Young man, take down your guqin and let me see it."

He turned around and his gaze fell on the young man surnamed Ke who was huddled at the very back.

"Senior, what do you mean by this? This is the vessel through which our ancestor descended; it cannot be moved lightly..."

The young man surnamed Ke's expression changed drastically. He took two steps back and assumed a defensive posture.

Yun Zhongjun was impatient and didn't want to say much. As the city lord of Yunding City, ordinary Core Formation cultivators were not qualified to answer him.

Since he wasn't of human origin, no one has ever said he had a good temper.

With a single reach, several gusts of wind, like sharp arrows, streaked across the sky, aiming to pierce through the opponent.

call out!
A flash of sword light arrived first, circling ahead and blocking Qingfeng completely.

The moment the two came into contact, it was as if they had encountered the most mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining forces, and they were simultaneously and rapidly annihilated.

However, the sword light kept changing, and as soon as a few were eliminated, several more would appear, and in the blink of an eye, it completely suppressed Qingfeng.

"Since we're all in the same room, it's best for us to work together harmoniously. There's no need to kill the younger generation."

Bai Zichen had a good impression of the young man and stepped in to block his attack.

From the few swift exchanges, he also sensed the power of the Great True Lord on the Immortal Island.

The breeze may seem to contain little power, but it is incredibly resilient and has an all-pervasive effect.

If it weren't for his exceptional swordsmanship, which prevented him from exploiting the splitting sword light, he would have been invaded by Yun Zhongjun long ago if he had used a different magic weapon.

"Fellow Daoist Su wants to protect him? The key to entering the next level is most likely with him. That ancient zither has a spirit, which is why the teleportation array didn't appear!"

Yun Zhongjun suppressed his anger. His sword intent was unfathomable, and he was a sword cultivator worthy of respect, so his attitude was naturally different.

"I just didn't want him to be seriously injured by you, fellow Daoist."

Bai Zichen shook his head slightly, not intending to protect the cultivator surnamed Ke to the death, but simply leaving him a way out.

"Hand over your guqin yourself. I won't make things difficult for you out of respect for Fellow Daoist Su."

Yun Zhongjun closed his mouth and stared intently at the young man surnamed Ke.

Under the gaze of those multi-elemental beings, the young man surnamed Ke breathed heavily, his Taoist robe soaked through, and slowly untied the guqin from his back.

This zither has a simple and ancient shape with smooth lines, resembling the flow of mountains and rivers, or the winding of dragons and snakes.

Its ends are charred black, emitting a deep, dark light, and it is full of mysterious allure.

The body of the instrument is dotted with golden stars, like stars in the sky, not in a fixed position, but slowly drifting away.

"Hmph, it is true that separating one's divine sense and hiding it in the zither, and refining it into one with the spirit of the instrument, is the only way to be able to descend at any time... The rules of the stone tablet only restrict the spirit of the instrument and do not affect the divine sense of the cultivator, which is why such a loophole exists, leaving behind such a spiritual object."

Lord Yunzhong has lived for so many years, and his insight and knowledge far surpass those of others.

These kinds of secret techniques are not unusual; they were popular many years ago, but they were quite limited.

Prolonged use may even trap the nascent soul on the descent vessel, making it impossible for it to leave.

The secret technique of providing remote support at any time is good, but few Nascent Soul True Monarchs are willing to give up their freedom for a lifetime.

Gradually, no one practiced this high-cost secret technique anymore.

It is unclear whether Coolidge has already addressed this shortcoming, or whether he knowingly used it despite the potential risks.

Yun Zhongjun made his move again, this time targeting the guqin. Two gusts of wind swept through, snapping the guqin in two, and breaking the strings one by one.

The young man surnamed Ke groaned, his face pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The guqin was his most cherished possession, and its destruction affected his very being, causing him considerable distress.

A distant wail came from the zither. Without its vessel, Ke Lizhi's divine sense could not exist and was erased along with the destruction of the zither.

In an instant, the stone tablet began to rotate, revealing a teleportation array identical to the one on the upper level.

"Indeed, that is the reason. Fellow Daoist has excellent insight!"

True Monarch Ziyin praised him, for the method to deal with the Nascent Soul stage was hidden in the third level of the Ancient Immortal Mansion, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Only after calming down can you be teleported in.

After all the cultivators left, the ground on the second level seemed to come alive, with countless white dots dancing around.

……

Jade terraces and silver palaces, emerald flowers and golden stems.

No one could have imagined that the third level of the Ancient Immortal Mansion would present such a scene.

It was gleaming with gold, exuding a precious aura, and filled with magnificent objects.

Gold carpets the ground, pearls are scattered across the fields, jade shines brightly, and agate shimmers with iridescence.

Each one contained abundant spiritual energy, all of which was blank spiritual energy without any attributes.

Bai Zichen casually picked up a pearl, infused it with a trace of true essence, and the spiritual power inside transformed into a blazing sun, emitting a red light, with the surface of the pearl burning hot.

Then, the true essence attribute was transformed into a thick, earthy yellow bead, so heavy that it felt heavy in the hand.

"What a treasure! I don't need it, but with simple refining, it can be used as a low-grade spiritual treasure, which would be perfect for bestowing upon a Core Formation disciple! Even for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, having a few of these can quickly replenish their true essence during battles."

The most wonderful thing about these pearls is that they can be used by any type of cultivator and whatever cultivation method they practice, making them extremely versatile.

I picked them up as I walked, and collected about thirty of these pearls.

The rest are much worse and can only be used as ordinary spiritual materials.

The cultivators were so engrossed in collecting spiritual items that they forgot their purpose for coming. It was Bai Zichen who found the stone tablet first.

The three stone tablets were all larger than the first one, each more than twice the size of the first.

"Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to manifest their divine abilities here."

The golden tadpole spirit characters on this stone tablet were dim, and I almost mistook it for a blank tablet. I had to strain my eyes to see them clearly.

Unlike the previous two stone tablets, although both are engraved with golden tadpole spirit characters on the surface, the first two layers are covered with spiritual light, which can be seen from afar.

The stone tablet on the third level, however, resembles an unfinished product, lacking any mystical qualities.

"Nascent Soul cultivators can't manifest their divine power? So that's what the Great Wilderness Ancestor meant. If Nascent Soul cultivators can't make a move, then no matter how strong the Two Demons and Three Immortals are, they're no longer relevant to us!"

True Monarch Ziyin followed closely behind, speaking with a hint of excitement.

"Don't be too happy yet... How big is this place? Is it the entire Western Sea, or Penglai Island, or even just the location of the Ancient Immortal Abode?"

Bai Zichen didn't believe that anyone could change the rules of a region with just a word; at least, it was impossible in the human realm.

This statement should be limited to the Ancient Immortal Abode, or at most slightly extended.

"Furthermore, this stone tablet is clearly not effective, and we still don't know how to make it work..."

After Bai Zichen finished speaking, he inexplicably found the golden tadpole spirit script on the stone tablet somewhat familiar, without knowing where this feeling came from.

"I really don't know what kind of great power is qualified to leave such words."

The Red Emperor also gathered around, his expression one of shock, looking him up and down.

Several people took turns speculating and proposing various possibilities, but none of them dared to put them into practice.

With the lessons of the past laid bare, who knows if touching the stone tablet will result in the same sudden death?

After the other Nascent Soul cultivators had finished searching the cave, someone brought up an inkwell filled with golden-red powder, saying that it had been found on a stone table in another direction.

Yun Zhongjun took a sliver of the powder, examined it closely, and used a supernatural power to discern its true nature: "It is made from the grinding of two top-grade fifth-tier spiritual materials, Five-Crystal Divine Iron and Glazed Fire Jade, into powder to imitate the Golden Tadpole Spiritual Script. What a grand display!"

Next to the ink cartridge, there is also a calligraphy brush, the purpose of which is obvious.

'I see! ’

A thunderbolt struck Bai Zichen's heart, and he finally understood where the sense of familiarity came from.

In the Transmission Hall of the Qingfeng Sect, there is a copy of the original Cantong Qi, which is the annotated version by the Shaoyang True Lord.

Hidden underground, they were never shown to ordinary disciples; what was displayed outside were copies.

As a Nascent Soul ancestor of the sect, he had already read through the documents repeatedly, wanting to see if there were any differences.

Not to mention him, even Senior Brother Ge Cang failed to notice anything unusual; it was just an ordinary cultivation technique.

Only when the two are compared side by side do we realize that their handwriting has many similarities.

Although the Cantongqi was written in common script, the inscription on the stone tablet is in Jinkeling script.

It was precisely because of the relationship between the two languages ​​that he would have discovered the connection long ago if they were the same language.

Try dissecting the Golden Tadpole Spirit Script on the stone tablet and rewriting it in the same style using common script. The result is at least 90% similar to the original Cantongqi.

It can be almost certainly concluded that the one who left the inscription on the three stone tablets in the Ancient Immortal Mansion was none other than the founder of the Qingfeng Sect, the Shaoyang True Lord!
