Born with immortal seed

Chapter 746 Only One Voice in the Eastern Region

“The Master’s Time Mother Coin was enshrined there. In the past few years, its spirituality was increasing and its color was getting deeper and deeper… But later, the promotion of Time Coins was not successful, and the Mother Coin gradually dimmed again and stopped progressing.”

Ma Ruoxi looked slightly ashamed; her master rarely entrusted her with such a task, and she hadn't done it well.

"It has nothing to do with you. Everyone thinks I'm stuck overseas and can't come back, so naturally no one will use the Time Coin. They'd love to abolish it."

Bai Zichen sneered, saying that using sect currency instead of spirit stones meant absolute control over this area.

Most sects can't do it on their own territory because the scope of application is too small and no outsiders recognize it.

Over time, even the disciples of the sect became too lazy to use it.

If it only circulates within one's own industry, then it's no different from the sect contribution value system.

However, once this becomes a habit and is implemented across the entire region, not only can the sect that issues the currency reap massive amounts of money and interest, but it can also control the economic power of a region.

With the towering figure of the Time Sword Lord no longer pressing down on them, who would bother using Time Coins to make a quick buck?

"I will issue a message in my name, calling on all Nascent Soul level sects and Nascent Soul level cultivators in the Eastern Region to gather at Rotten Axe Mountain next month to discuss a plan to resist the ancient demon."

After a brief interruption, Bai Zichen knew that it would be difficult to change the nature of the mother coin before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if the Time-Bound Coin could be made the unified currency of the Ancestral Continent immediately, there would still be time for the mother coin to be influenced by the Great Dao of Money.

"Here!"

Ma Ruoxi excitedly accepted the order and went down to fetch the messenger. She had been feeling very stifled on Rotten Ke Mountain all these years, and now that her master had returned, she naturally wanted to get everything back.

……

"I originally intended to take advantage of the Nascent Soul stage to directly upgrade the Falling Treasure Golden Coin Sword to the fifth rank with the help of the mother coin... but now I have to find another target."

Based on the experience of past Nascent Soul cultivators, it is a sure thing to successfully upgrade a fourth-grade top-quality spiritual treasure to a low-grade Heaven-Reaching spiritual treasure.

However, due to the special nature of the flying sword's rank, the power of creation is not always effective, with a success rate of about 50%.

Bai Zichen's previous idea was to embed the Time Mother Coin into the Treasure Falling Coin Sword, giving the flying sword the characteristics of a fifth-tier sword, but its own tier was not improved.

Then, with the power of creation infused into it, it will eventually take shape and stabilize, making it easy to grasp and control.

"If this sword fails, there aren't many targets left to choose from..."

Bai Zichen's gaze slowly swept across the Supreme Pure Light Sword Box, pausing briefly on the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword.

But it was quickly moved away. In the human realm, apart from the creation treasures born at the very beginning of time, the fifth rank was already the peak.

Moreover, whether the power of creation after reaching the Nascent Soul stage is enough to awaken the Purple Star Thunder Sword to the sixth rank is a big question mark.

As a result, there are very few fourth-tier flying swords that meet the requirements.

Who told him to destroy all the fourth-tier flying swords on his body with the Taixu Splitting Sword Technique in his desperate attempt to fight back?

"Even if this Great Sun Furnace Sword were to be infused with Heavenly Gang Star Fire, it would only barely reach the fourth rank. Its foundation is insufficient, and the probability of advancing to the fifth rank is slim... Zhu Xue has just broken free from the connection between her mind and body, so there are still some limitations."

After turning the sword over and over, Bai Zichen suddenly had an idea and turned his gaze to the outside of the sword box.

Two magical treasures lay within the dantian and dantian.

They are the Exquisite Primordial Tower and the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror.

Like flying swords, spatial magical treasures are top-quality items within the same rank. Choosing one to upgrade is no different from choosing a fourth-rank flying sword.

The Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror is only a low-grade spiritual treasure, but it could probably be upgraded to a top-grade spiritual treasure by receiving the power of creation.

But doing it this way is too extravagant and a complete waste of an opportunity.

"Let's use the appraiser first to accumulate some samples. We're not far from getting a mid-grade spiritual treasure..."

Bai Zichen sighed and threw out the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror, which transformed into a streak of red light and hung on the jade pillar atop the gate of Rotten Axe Mountain.

At the same time, he transmitted a message, instructing Ma Ruoxi to spread the word that all disciples could use the Treasure Mirror for free.

A single top-grade spirit stone is enough to power the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror continuously for several years, which is still affordable.

He also complained that there were too few people using the mirror, and that it would be best if there were tens of thousands of disciples taking turns using it.

While the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror was constantly being updated, it accumulated countless templates, allowing the Divine Soul Mirror to evolve even faster.

As for which treasure to choose to withstand the power of creation when transforming into a deity, that will be discussed later and no decision will be made for now.

After thinking it over, he took out the Divine Shock Pill, which was said to be a spiritual pill made by refining the souls of three top-level transformed demons, then mixing it with special gold and stone, and adding jade mercury liquid.

The difficulty of refining this pill formula is second to none in the cultivation world; its complexity and intricacy are beyond the comprehension of even a fourth-level alchemist.

One of the most crucial steps is to blend the three divine souls together without any conflict, and to perfectly combine them with other spiritual materials in order to achieve the beneficial effect of stimulating the consciousness after consumption.

Many of these techniques transcend the mere skills of an alchemist; they require understanding the balance of water and fire, the harmony of yin and yang, and a deep understanding of the spirit and soul.

Refining one batch requires the same amount of effort as refining five batches of other pills of the same grade.

Furthermore, the success rate of the pill can only be guaranteed by a fifth-level alchemist.

This is why Bai Zichen was willing to pay a premium to snatch a Divine Shock Pill; he didn't have time to wait patiently.

Who knows how many years it will be before the next batch of Divine Pills arrives?

The demand for this elixir is not high to begin with, and fifth-level alchemists rarely choose it as a top priority.

After taking the Mind-Startling Pill, a thunderclap struck his sea of ​​consciousness, illuminating every corner.

It wasn't just one thing, but a series of things that came one after another, revealing the most hidden and darkest corners of the sea of ​​consciousness, actually causing the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness to expand outwards by another circle.

After an unknown amount of time, an unusual fluctuation occurred in front of Bai Zichen, as if an invisible force was blowing a gentle breeze, condensing into small swords.

All of them were formed from divine thoughts, as clear as crystal, and they began to rotate around each other.

Until the twelve crystal swords lined up and thrust forward in unison with a clanging sound, the two solid objects collided, leaving a row of sword holes.

It pierced several feet into the ground, then merged back into a giant crystal sword, returning to the sea of ​​consciousness.

Throughout the entire process, not a trace of true essence was activated; it was purely divine consciousness power.

It is the legendary, mysterious crystallization of divine thought, the mark of becoming a god!
……

An old hunchbacked man emerged from Rotten Axe Mountain, his face full of sorrow, sighing and lamenting, when he saw a dragon-drawn chariot fly out.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately chased after him, calling out enthusiastically, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! I am Zhao Wuji from Baitong Temple, and I would like to ask you a few questions."

The carriage was magnificent and elegant, with no visible seams, as if it had been made from a single piece.

The runes on it are one after another, and the restrictions are one after another. It is not only a vehicle, but also a powerful treasure.

Even the two dragons pulling the cart had golden eyes and white scales, and their bloodline was extraordinary, not that of an ordinary inferior dragon.

Judging from the concentration of demonic energy, they are all at the peak of the third rank, and there is still a chance to break through to the fourth rank.

The fact that such a dragon was used as a crossbow beast startled Zhao Wuji, causing him to shrink his neck into his collar, as if he were considering deserting.

Judging by this, it's not something an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch could do.

Having just arrived in the Eastern Region, I haven't had time to visit various forces yet, and in my haste, I might have attracted the attention of a cultivator with a powerful background.

"If it is inconvenient for you, fellow Daoist, I can ask someone else."

Zhao Wuji took two small steps back without making a sound, then his eyes twitched. There was a coachman in black sitting in front of the carriage door.

The key point is that the driver was completely lifeless, like a human-shaped rock stuck to the cart, no wonder he wasn't noticed.

"It's alright... Hei Fu, please invite Fellow Daoist Zhao in."

A cold voice came from the carriage. The driver in black stood up expressionlessly, lifted the beaded curtain, and opened the carriage door.

"Thank you, Heifu... young brother."

Zhao Wuji bowed respectfully, but stumbled over the form of address, nearly giving himself a brain burnout.

Only when you get closer can you feel the powerful pressure emanating from Hei Fu's body, which is no weaker than that of a fourth-tier body cultivator.

Even if such a person were doing menial tasks like driving carriages or leading dragons, he would not dare to underestimate him.

However, the person inside the car was clearly of a much higher status. If they addressed each other as "fellow Daoist," wouldn't it be awkward during their conversation?

His thoughts raced, and it took him a while to come up with a form of address.

"Sir, please have a seat."

The carriage was spacious, with a small table, four seats, and plenty of empty space.

Seated in the main seat was a tall, handsome man with long, flowing hair, dressed in a gray-blue cloak.

"May I ask your name, friend? I've only been living in the Eastern Region for a little over ten years, and I don't even know all my neighbors yet."

Seeing that the man had the same early Nascent Soul cultivation level as himself, Zhao Wuji breathed a slight sigh of relief, easing some of the pressure.

Having already lost their momentum, if there were also a difference in cultivation level, it would be impossible to have an equal dialogue.

Leaving aside the body cultivator whose strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the sheer luxury of the dragon chariot alone was enough to show that the other party's background far surpassed his own.

Baitong Temple was just a sect that Zhao Wuji casually built after he transformed into a Nascent Soul, with only a dozen or so disciples.

He was originally a rogue cultivator. Six hundred years ago, he picked up an ancient book and a box of spiritual pearls from the body of a dead cultivator by the Ji River, and that's when he began his transformation.

The ancient book contained a Nascent Soul cultivation technique and a complete set of supernatural secrets, which happened to match him perfectly, allowing him to cultivate at an extremely fast pace.

As for the spirit pearls in the box, they were all highly nourishing spiritual items that greatly enhanced cultivation, completely making up for the shortcomings of slow cultivation in the early stages, and successfully transforming them into Nascent Souls before the war between the human and demon races began.

Because his cultivation method was self-sufficient and he didn't need to compete for cultivation resources from outside, Zhao Wuji rarely went out and mostly devoted himself to cultivation alone.

At that time, even a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch only possessed a pair of low-grade magic treasures.

Competition in the Central Region is fierce. Zhao Wuji has no magic treasures and is not skilled in combat, so naturally he cannot seize the spiritual land from others.

They wanted to earn merit on the battlefield between the two races, but they were afraid of facing a transformed demon and being no match for it.

They could only choose relatively safe logistical tasks, doing the kind of backbreaking work that only Core Formation cultivators would do, frequently traveling between the front lines and the rear.

After the Eastern Expedition ended, he continued to guard the outer sea. With his hard work over the years, he finally earned two decent spiritual treasures and a fourth-tier spiritual land in the Eastern Region.

He had only been here with his disciples for a short time when he received a summons from the Sword Lord of Time.

This important figure was the superior of Zhao Wuji's superior during the war between the two races, so how could he dare to disobey? He immediately jumped out and rushed to Rotten Axe Mountain to wait for him.

“Jin Yuezong, nine mulberries.”

The man presented a cup of spiritual tea, its delicate fragrance wafting through the air. Above the teacup, auspicious beast clouds shifted and changed, truly magical.

"So it's Jin Yuezong Daozi! I've long admired your name... Excellent tea, truly excellent tea!"

Zhao Wuji suddenly realized, but then pretended to be ignorant and took several big gulps of tea.

This tea can detoxify and purify the body, making it a decent fourth-tier spiritual tea.

But for a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch to behave like this is still somewhat exaggerated.

Even if he hadn't touched it before, Zhao Wuji couldn't possibly be without such spiritual objects after becoming the logistics officer of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The Jin Yue Sect was originally a unique super sect in the Eastern Region, and it was the first to be hit when the demon race invaded.

First, the Supreme Elder was beaten to death by the White Ape, and then he was targeted and chased by the sea demons.

In the end, less than half of the disciples managed to escape into the Central Region, mainly because a large number of high-level cultivators died on the way.

As for the resources that couldn't be moved in time, and the treasures scattered along the way, they are even more countless.

So, the two factions that led the Eastern Expedition—the Moral Sect, which values ​​rules, and Bai Zichen, who keeps his promises and is trustworthy—agreed to return the reclaimed spiritual land to the sect that has not yet been destroyed.

Otherwise, based on the contributions of the Jin Yue Sect in the war between the two races, how could they have earned back their own fifth-tier spiritual land?

Therefore, from this perspective, Bai Zichen has been kind to the former sects of the Eastern Region.

Upon returning to his homeland, Jin Yuezong kept a low profile, focusing solely on his own small plot of land and never getting involved in outside affairs.

But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Jin Yue Sect's assets, no matter how small, are unmatched by any other sect in the Eastern Region.

Even a Core Formation cultivator could rival a Nascent Soul True Monarch within this dragon chariot for a short period of time.

“Nine-mulberry Daoist, just now the Sword Lord of Time in the hall said that in order to deal with the Ancient Demon Asura, the Eastern Region will enter a state of war starting today. All Nascent Soul True Monarchs who leave the Eastern Region or go into seclusion for a long time must notify Rotten Axe Mountain in advance… Do you think that’s necessary? Isn’t it too exaggerated? After all, the Ancient Demon is still only wandering around the Northern Region.”

Zhao Wuji pursed his lips, put down his teacup, and said softly.

"Before the ancient demon Asura, our strength is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Only by obeying the command of the Sword Lord can we have a chance of survival. I don't think there's any problem with that."

Jiu Shen sneered inwardly. To so blatantly provoke Jin Yuezong and Lan Ke Shan like this, was he treating her like a naive newcomer?

Yesterday's decree from Rotten Axe Mountain could still be outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied.

But today's Rotten Axe Mountain is completely different.

Jin Yuezong did not raise any objections at the meeting and followed the footsteps of the Sword Lord of Time throughout the meeting.

It's not just Nascent Soul True Monarchs who need to report any unusual activity to Sword Monarch.

Furthermore, all sects in the Eastern Region must cease all fighting and concentrate all their efforts on dealing with the Ancient Demon.

All merchants in the Eastern Region must accept and use Time Coins to facilitate the acquisition of demon-refining resources in Rotten Axe Mountain and improve efficiency.

……

More than ten such clauses were proposed by the disciples of the Sword Lord of Time over the past few days.

Some passed, while others were strongly opposed.

Guangyin Jianjun did not force the issue and agreed to delete some parts.

There were only the relevant regulations for the Time Coins, with no room for negotiation, and the opinions of numerous Nascent Soul cultivators were not solicited before they were directly read and implemented.

When the Sword Lord spoke, no one dared to object, at least not outwardly.

Jiu Shen knew very well that now that the Sword Lord of Time had returned, it was time to...

All the noise in the Eastern Region must be silenced, allowing only one sound to exist.
