Born with immortal seed

Chapter 729 Sending the Heavenly Eye Taoist on His Way

"I failed to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and could not achieve the crystallization of divine thoughts. Therefore, I decided to take one person with me before I pass away, so that these people would not continue to poison the world forever."

Sword Emperor's voice was hoarse as he raised his head, revealing a delicately sculpted face.

Although weathered and aged, one can still see the unparalleled brilliance of her past.

"Tianmu is most adept at discerning people's hearts and predicting auspicious omens. As long as he lives, the Western Sea will never see the light of day again."

"I concealed my killing intent with the ruthless sword intent, broke into the Heavenly Heart Dojo, and fought for three days before finally taking his head. Killing him was easy, but the real challenge was to extinguish his Heavenly Eye's rebirth. I brought his head here to beg the sect to intervene and completely eradicate this dojo's chance of reincarnation."

Bai Zichen suddenly realized why the Sword Emperor, who was said to have the greatest combat power in the Western Sea, had been seriously injured while fighting against the Heavenly Eye Daoist, who was clearly weaker.

The concern was that killing Tianmu Daoist would only lead to his early reincarnation, wasting a Dao embryo.

Instead, they became more cautious, making it harder to find opportunities in the future.

Capturing a Nascent Soul cultivator alive is not nearly as difficult as killing them outright.

Once he understood this, he admired the Sword Emperor even more for taking down the Heavenly Eye Daoist at the cost of serious injury.

Its actual strength is probably a notch higher than expected.

"Are you one of the Seven Clouds in human form?"

Sword Emperor glanced at Cloud Lord, recognized his true form, and continued speaking.

“I have dealt with Qingxia before. If you Qixia want to become gods, the simplest way is to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm... In the mortal realm, due to the limitations of the Great Dao, it may not be possible. In any case, do not listen to Tianmu’s sweet talk. Not to mention your future on the Great Dao, you may not even be able to save your life.”

"Senior Sword Emperor is noble and compassionate... Although I am not talented, I am willing to cut off the Heavenly Eye for you and rid the Western Sea of ​​a scourge."

Bai Zichen was able to discard the Nine Yuan Dao Embryo Jade Essence Technique because he had enough confidence in himself to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm with ease.

If one is in a different place, with no way forward, sticking to one's original intention can only lead to reincarnation and bidding farewell to all things in this world.

By going with the flow and refining the Dao embryo, one can live for at least several thousand more years.

Only choices made under such circumstances can truly reveal one's true nature.

No wonder that generation after generation of gods in the Western Sea could not escape this calamity.

Just like the Great Wilderness Elder, when he first became a god, he was indeed ambitious and had the spirit to change the face of the sun and moon.

But as time goes by, the fear of death and the terror of the severance of the Great Way are enough to change even the most steadfast beliefs.

The story of the dragon-slaying hero who ultimately becomes the dragon himself is repeated time and again in the Western Sea.

A man like the Sword Emperor, unwavering until death, with a heart as firm as stone, and even thinking of taking one more Nascent Soul cultivator with him before he dies, is truly an anomaly.

As expected of a sword cultivator who is ruthless and devoid of emotion, with only the sword in his heart, he was able to reach his current level in the lowlands of sword cultivation on his own.

It's a pity they were born in the wrong era and in the wrong place.

If he had been born ten thousand years earlier in Zuzhou, he might have been able to rival the Taibai Sword Lord.

Seeing that the Sword Emperor was still going to deny it, Yun Zhongjun quickly said, "Senior, Fellow Daoist Su is in charge of time. Before coming here, he had already killed Yin Zu and the Great Wilderness Elder with his sword. Both of them died immediately, causing heaven and earth to grieve. This prevented the prepared Dao Embryo from playing its role."

"The Sword Intent of Time!"

The sword emperor's eyes gleamed with a tangible light, and an indomitable, icy sword intent gathered, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature and causing ice crystals to form in the sea of ​​clouds.

"But you are only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. No matter how skilled your swordsmanship is, how could you possibly escape unscathed after killing two people?"

Yin Zu and the Great Wilderness Elder were both at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even with the Great Dao of Time's restraint, it was impossible for them to be completely powerless.

As a Nascent Soul sword cultivator, the Sword Emperor could easily fathom the effects of the Time Sword Intent, and it wouldn't be too outrageous.

"We have opened an ancient immortal mansion left behind by the immortal lord, forming a space where the cultivation level of any cultivator standing within it cannot exceed the Nascent Soul stage."

Yun Zhongjun said with pride, "A group of Nascent Soul cultivators surpassing three Nascent Soul cultivators is something worth mentioning, even with many objective factors involved."

"I see... But they are still quite amazing. Even with their cultivation levels restricted, they are still far superior to those at the Nascent Soul stage."

Sword Emperor coughed lightly and placed the head of Heavenly Eye Daoist on the ground.

"Young friend Su's swordsmanship talent is even above mine. It's truly a blessing from heaven that the evil world in the West Sea will end and return to peace."

Judging from his own experience, he felt that someone who could achieve such swordsmanship at such a young age must be a devout and single-minded cultivator.

They wouldn't even consider the Dao Embryo Reincarnation Secret Technique; they would only think about using their own flying swords to attempt ascension.

"What are you talking about? Don't make a move! I can tell you the location of my secret treasure vault! Inside are rare and precious materials that I have painstakingly collected over thousands of years, enough resources for ten Nascent Soul cultivators. Even the most dull-witted person can reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

Tianmu Daoist was originally indifferent, but if the newcomer was bewitched by him and killed the Sword Emperor, that would be even better.

If their attempts to seduce them fail, they will then deliberately provoke them into taking action.

The shattering of the skull allowed the prepared Dao embryo to awaken and be reborn.

But gradually, his expression became somewhat off.

According to these people, the Great Wilderness Elder and the Yin Ancestor have actually perished.

It sounded like a fantasy, but the expression and demeanor didn't seem like a lie, which made his heart pound.

If this is true, and this Nascent Soul sword cultivator could kill the Great Wilderness Elder and the Yin Ancestor, then he himself would be no exception.

Bai Zichen stroked his sword with one hand, closed his eyes, and slowed his breathing.

After exhausting the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, the true essence of time that could be mobilized was negligible; he still had to rely more on the Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique.

With a single sword strike, he severed the bodies of three lifetimes, cutting off all chances of reincarnation.

The Purple Star Thunder Sword darted fiercely, lightning leaping back and forth, gradually settling and approaching a dark purple hue.

The last vestige of true meaning in time was concentrated entirely within the lightning.

Swish!
As I opened my eyes, the light in the air seemed to shift between bright and dark, and a fleeting shadow of a giant dragon appeared.

The head that showed a pleading and submissive expression was broken into countless particles in Bai Zichen's eyes.

And through its essence, one can see the core of the Heavenly Eye Taoist, with countless dotted lines extending to the top of his head.

Three of them were the thickest, glowing with a bloody light, their entire dotted lines turning a vibrant red, their destination unknown.

A flash of lightning-like sword light appeared, an ordinary sword strike aimed at the head of the Heavenly Eye Taoist.

At the moment of impact, three muffled thuds were heard, and the three blood-red dotted lines broke simultaneously.

Before the dotted line could reconnect, a bolt of lightning blasted his head to dust.

Boom!

At the edge of the world, amidst an endless sea of ​​clouds, this thunderclap shattered the thick clouds that had obscured the sky for countless years, clearing a path through them.

A gigantic eye appeared on the horizon, devoid of emotion and indifferent, sweeping its gaze across the world.

Wherever this giant eye looks, the sea of ​​clouds will boil and countless bubbles will rise.

"He really is dead... Is this the Sword Intent of Time? Truly supreme."

The Sword Emperor's expression shifted, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered an unsolvable problem.

When he first drew his sword, he sensed the subtle essence of time on the sword light and thought he had made a mistake and was about to be caught by the Heavenly Eye Daoist.

Unexpectedly, the sword light was exactly the same, severing the connection between Tianmu Daoist and all the Dao Embryos, before ending his life.

From the ordinary sword light, one can sense the power to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.

'The Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon are truly versatile; any supernatural power becomes even more powerful with their enhancement…'

Bai Zichen slowly sheathed his sword, the strange light in his eyes fading away.

However, in intense battles, the application of Zhulong's Yin-Yang Eyes becomes much smaller, and he doesn't have that much time to use it.

Without the aid of the pupil technique, this sword might not have been able to sever all three Dao embryos of the Heavenly Eye Daoist, and might have given him the opportunity to be reborn.

The fall of the Nascent Soul cultivator was so dramatic that it finally alerted the Jingming Sect, and the plaque hidden in the clouds gradually revealed its true form.

Besides the four golden tadpole spirit characters 'Pure, Bright, Loyal, and Filial Piety', the left pillar is inscribed with 'Primordial Ancestor, One Qi Divides True', and the right pillar is inscribed with 'Myriad Laws and Thousand Gates, None Without This Power'.

The door opened, and two dark figures slowly approached, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

"Clouds and white clouds pay their respects to the two guardians of the mountain!"

Yun Zhongjun performed a proper ancient ritual, clearly recognizing the person's identity.

At the same time, he whispered a reminder to Bai Zichen: "They are two fifth-order puppets from the upper sect, with strength equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage, and they are neither old nor decayed, having existed for tens of thousands of years."

Upon closer inspection, Bai Zichen discovered that the two people emerging from the sea of ​​clouds looked almost identical to real people, except that they had artificial skin on their bodies.

Their words and actions showed no trace of the stiffness or sluggishness of a puppet; they were full of spirit.

"I, Feng from Tushan, originally wanted to ask the sect to punish the demonic cultivators... but I didn't expect to be dealt with by my friend Su, which disturbed the envoy's peace."

Sword Emperor's original surname was Feng, but since he was respectfully addressed as Sword Empress, no one ever called him by his original name again.

Whether it's the Sword Emperor or the Cloud Lord, their attitudes demonstrate the respect the Western Sea cultivators have for the Pure Bright Sect.

They were clearly just two puppets, but their attitude was no different from that towards a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After Shaoyang Immortal Lord established the rules and laid the foundation for the Western Sea for ten thousand generations, there were also successive generations of Transformation Gods who helped other Transformation Gods to ascend smoothly.

The Jingming Sect has made great contributions to the Western Sea and has also been instrumental in restoring the spiritual masters of various sects.

"This sect is not here to clean up your messes. If you wake us up again for this kind of thing, don't blame us for kicking you all out of the Cloud Sea."

Two fifth-tier puppets, one male and one female, resembled figures that had stepped out of a painting; they were indescribably beautiful.

The male puppet spoke loudly, raised his hand and pointed at the group of people, revealing the difference between him and the cultivators.

His palm had no fingers, but five dark tubes that could continuously fire Taiyi Cold Light Arrows.

Each Taiyi Cold Light Arrow is equivalent to a single strike in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, and requires no preparation time.

“Bai Xia, you seven siblings are the Elders of the Cloud Sea. You don’t need us to tell you what to do. How could you make such a mistake?”

The female puppet's voice was like that of a kingfisher; she was as graceful as a willow, as strong as jade, as fair as ice and snow, and as beautiful as autumn water.

She possesses all the virtues of women in the cultivation world, and her beauty is breathtaking, but she lacks a bit of vitality.

"Envoy Taixi, please forgive our disturbance. We have been disturbed without reason. We have eliminated three Nascent Soul cultivators—Yin Zu, the Great Wilderness Elder, and the Heavenly Eye Daoist—and wish to restore the Western Sea to its former glory. Once the ringleaders are all eliminated, we wonder if we can welcome our esteemed sect back to the world..."

Yun Zhongjun spoke earnestly, but the Sword Emperor pointed out that he knew that even if he and his seven siblings were to reincarnate again, they might not be able to ascend.

In comparison, it is most reliable to ascend together with a great master of the Pure Brightness School.
