Born with immortal seed

Chapter 782 Five Great Nascent Soul Phenomena
The tiger demon became ruthless and borrowed a million demon soldiers from other demon kings.

He also mobilized his thirty-six powerful demons to completely surround the territory of the Zuzhou cultivators, ensuring that not even a mosquito or fly could escape.

The demon race is not good at formations, but over the years they have developed a complete set of countermeasures.

Deep trenches were dug into the ground, and blood was used to irrigate and soak every inch of soil.

Among them were humans, but most were the dead demons.

Then, they planted banners to obstruct the flow of the earth's veins and disrupt the spiritual energy.

Although it cannot directly break the great formation, it at least reduces the formation's power by several percent, forcing the human race to continuously use high-grade spirit stones and cultivators' true essence to replenish the formation.

If it really comes down to a battle of attrition, the demon race, with its overwhelming numerical advantage, will certainly have nothing to fear.

This suddenly emerging human force has several Nascent Soul cultivators with complete lineages, some of whom are similar to human sects from tens of thousands of years ago.

However, the total number is limited and cannot compare to any other demon cave.

Even if it's a 10-for-1 trade, it's still a good deal.

Fortunately, Zuzhou has gained several new members at the Nascent Soul level, which is enough to keep them afloat.

The mountains and rivers were stained brown, countless wronged souls lingered, and the great formation teetered on the brink of collapse.

Months later, the sky seemed to darken, as if a huge shadow had blocked out the light.

Then, a bolt of lightning, ignoring the array's restrictions, struck the area, creating a monstrous surge.

When the thunder subsided, celestial music filled the air, and light shone in once more.

There was a sudden downpour, ten thousand swords returning to their origin, a cosmic singularity, two worlds standing side by side, the gate to a grotto-heaven, and five other extraordinary phenomena appearing simultaneously.

The next moment, an astonishing sword light shot up, splitting into five colors, and stabilizing the heavens and earth.

It was a vast and powerful force, yet also meticulously controlled, covering the entire battlefield.

Any demonic beast that appears before the five-colored sword light, regardless of its cultivation level or supernatural abilities, will be knocked down from the clouds.

Even the two transformed demons revealed their true forms after a muffled groan, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

Trying to activate his demonic power, he was horrified to discover a complex sword aura within his body. Forcibly activating his demonic power would cause the sword aura to pulverize his body.

clang!
The attack finally stopped when it reached the Flying Tiger Demon King's central command tent, where it spewed out several golden beams of light that transformed into various strange and ancient weapons.

A sharp and prolonged collision caused the monsters and cultivators below to fall to the ground.

Only cultivators and demonic beasts at the Core Formation stage or above could distinguish that it was actually a series of rapid, dense, and seamless sounds of impact.

It was just too fast and too dense that it only sounded as a single line to the ear.

The Flying Tiger Demon King's bloodline supernatural power is to manipulate the metal element. He has been eating minerals since childhood, and after chewing them, the five metal elements are stored in his body.

It has been nurtured in its belly for many years, and when it is used to fight, it can be released and transform into various divine weapons, which are unstoppable.

Its killing intent was intense, even more so than that of a normal magical weapon.

Logically speaking, such bloodline supernatural abilities are the best counter to flying swords, given the vast difference in cultivation level; they are not even on the same level in terms of the Great Dao.

The golden weapon's light caused the sword to tremble and become unsteady.

However, this five-colored sword light was different from others. Not only was it completely unaffected, but with a gentle swipe, it caused the golden weapon to shatter layer by layer.

After several exchanges, the Flying Tiger Demon King was restricted in many ways, unable to unleash even 30% of his full strength.

"withdraw!"

Knowing he was out of luck, the Flying Tiger Demon King roared and summoned a cloud of demons to cover the army's orderly retreat.

"Junior Brother has only just entered the Nascent Soul stage, yet he possesses such heaven-defying combat power, forcing back a demon king. He truly has the demeanor of our Master!"

Li Guizhen flew over, with several bolts of divine lightning still crackling around him.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. I was able to do this only after observing this Flying Tiger for a long time and thoroughly understanding its fighting habits... It's like comparing a firefly to the moon to Master. How can we be compared?"

Song Ding was not arrogant and had a very clear understanding of himself.

Without preparation time, a direct confrontation would make it impossible to be a match for a peak fourth-tier demon king.

Furthermore, the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light he cultivated was not afraid of the Flying Tiger Demon King's bloodline supernatural power and even had a restraining effect, which allowed him to perform so amazingly.

Unfortunately, this generation of sword cultivators always has an unparalleled sword immortal above them, and no matter how hard they try, they can never surpass him.

Fortunately for this generation of sword cultivators, no matter how exceptionally talented or early-blooming they are, they can always see the Sword Lord of Time leading the way.

Any pride or arrogance will vanish after witnessing a truly groundbreaking swordsman.

From the very beginning of his foundation-building stage, Song Ding was surrounded by flatterers and sycophants, and 99% of young people were likely to be captivated by them.

Later, his inability to transform into a Nascent Soul stage for a long time turned into an overwhelming wave of doubts.

What good is being invincible in combat and having unparalleled swordsmanship?
If the Great Way is not achieved, all is vanity; hundreds of years later, all will be nothing but a pile of bones.

This sound certainly wouldn't appear directly in front of Song Ding, but he could clearly sense it.

Fortunately, Song Ding's temperament was never affected, and he remained as stable as ever despite the ups and downs.

This also made him patient, waiting for decades in Xuanzhou before seizing a suitable opportunity to successfully kill the Golden-Eyed Winged Tiger.

He withstood the chaos of the great war and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

"I had been in seclusion and unaware of the outside world until my second senior brother suddenly came to Xuanzhou. Has something changed?"

Including Song Ding, who was recently promoted, the Qingfeng Sect already has six Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but it is still not enough.

Ge Cang is of a very high seniority and is at a crucial moment in his journey to the Nascent Soul stage, seeking an opportunity to transform into a Divine Transformation cultivator. He has no time to devote himself to the development of the sect.

There needs to be one person stationed in the Northern Region, and it would be best to have two people in the Eastern Region. There are also many industries in the Black Sea waiting for the Qingfeng Sect to send people to manage and take over.

Even if there were a few more True Lords, we could find a place to accommodate them.

The Sword Lord of Time has never shown much interest in Xuanzhou, so there's no reason for him to suddenly send two Nascent Soul cultivators here.

“It was the summoning diagram that you sent back, Junior Brother. Master became interested and asked Junior Sister Su and me to come here to collect clues. It would be best if we could find out the root cause.”

Li Guizhen gave a brief overview, smiling broadly.

"I was worried about how to deal with those top-tier demons, but I just happened to meet my junior brother who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, so I'm no longer afraid... With the three of us joining forces, there's nowhere in Xuanzhou we can't go."

"I might not be so at ease against the other demon kings... Once I've digested what I've gained and mastered the Nascent Soul Divine Power, I'll act together with you, Senior Brother."

Song Ding waved his hand, afraid that his senior brother might develop unrealistic expectations of him because of his performance just now.

Among the four demon kings, the Winged Tiger is countered by him and can be put to a fight.

The blue-eyed two-headed sheep is skilled in illusion magic, and all of them, along with their fellow disciples, possess treasures bestowed by the Sword Lord of Time, so they won't be immediately affected.

There is also a Kang Jinlong, a different species of dragon, who is the one with the strongest bloodline among the four demon kings. To this day, it has not been able to transform into human form and has maintained its original form.

The dragon's body is incredibly powerful; it's questionable whether ordinary attacks can even break through its defenses.

I've heard that he can control the fierce winds and heavenly fire, and is probably the strongest among the demon kings of Xuanzhou.

Faced with this demon, all we can do is defend ourselves desperately and wait for our master to unleash his power.

The last demon king's true form was a rare five-element peacock. He became a demon king last, having just broken through to the peak of the fourth rank less than a hundred years ago.

However, its bloodline supernatural power is extremely strong, and it is said that it can also unleash five-colored divine light. Once it sweeps over someone, their life or death is unknown.

It's unknown who would be stronger or weaker if they clashed with Song Ding's Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light.

“Excellent. I’ll be visiting the neighborhood with Junior Sister Su these next few days to see if we can find any clues.”

As someone who had been through it all, Li Guizhen knew that there were many things to do when one first entered the Nascent Soul stage, and one could not rush things.

Especially for junior brother, who can trigger five kinds of Nascent Soul phenomena and match the performance of Ye Douyi of the Moral Sect, it will definitely take more time to absorb them.

Anyway, Master didn't set a time requirement for this task, which means that speed is not important, as long as it is done thoroughly and meticulously.

"Two worlds existing side by side, what kind of strange phenomenon is this? Why have I never seen it in the ancient books..."

Only after Song Ding returned to his cave did he have time to ponder his unusual nascent soul phenomenon.

He could understand all the other strange phenomena, but this one, in particular, filled him with doubt as to why two figures were facing each other across the river, moving in unison and posing with their five hearts facing the sky.

If the name of the phenomenon hadn't appeared in my mind on its own, I wouldn't have known the name of the Nascent Soul phenomenon, as I had never seen anything similar in any ancient texts.

"The fact that two lifetimes coexisted in the crucial period is that it's ranked second to last, only ahead of the Gate of the Cave Heaven, but it doesn't seem to have brought about any significant changes..."

Heavenly rain is a standard feature of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the return of ten thousand swords to their origin is a sign of supreme swordsmanship, and the cosmic singularity represents that his path to enlightenment has been righteous.

Everything grows from the singularity of the universe.

The gate to the grotto-heaven, being related to the Nascent Soul realm, is always the last to appear.

The strange phenomenon of two worlds existing side by side is of unknown cause, and it did not bring any enlightenment like the Gate to the Cave Heaven; it was just so abrupt.

"Never mind, it won't do any harm anyway. I'll just ask my master for advice when I get back."

Song Ding gave up on getting to the bottom of things and began to use a new level of the Cave Profound God-Slaying Sword Scripture. In his dantian, a flying sword was stirring restlessly, waiting to be refined into his natal flying sword.

……

The stone chamber is quiet and secluded, where time flows like water, drop by drop.

It was clearly an illusory sound of water, but when the water droplets fell, it truly seemed as if a river was receiving them, and ripples spread out in layers.

Going a step further, one can manifest the river of time within this cosmic stone chamber.

This special environment is good for cultivation, but apart from Bai Zichen, probably no one else in the cultivation world can withstand it.

The mere fluctuations in the speed of time's passage can drive more than 90% of cultivators insane, causing them to lose their perception of real time and become unable to cultivate normally.

On the other hand, such a rich essence of time would be deadly poison to cultivators who have not embarked on this path.

Being in it, all your strength must be used to resist the true meaning of time.

Otherwise, while the Light of Time Stone Chamber could save sixty years of cultivation time, the lifespan taken away by the True Meaning of Time on the other side would exceed sixty years, which would still be a bad deal.

"Zhuo Xiong has passed away?"

Bai Zichen's eyes snapped out of their half-open state as he looked at the contents of the jade slip that had come from outside the cave, and a deep sense of loneliness washed over him.

Another familiar face has left. Not long ago, he was a rising star in the cultivation world.

Looking around, you can't find anyone younger than him.

Gradually, Bai Zichen also became an old fellow in the cultivation world, and his contemporaries passed away one by one.

Along with the jade slip came two of Zhuo Xiong's personal belongings and a long letter.
