Born with immortal seed

Chapter 806 Returning to Penglai
Rotten Ke Mountain, Qingxia Cave.

Bai Zichen reached out and touched the sky, and could clearly feel the pulse of heaven and earth.

With just a little effort, one can tear apart this world and enter the void.

If he exerts all his strength, he can make this world no longer contain him and push him to the upper realm.

Unless one deliberately resists, one will be sent into the ascension channel and undergo the greatest test ever for Nascent Soul cultivators throughout history.

In the ascension passage, the final test awaits.

"Has this day finally come...?"

Bai Zichen's expression was solemn. With a wave of his hand, he brought the sky back to complete calm.

During the more than one hundred years in Shaohua Cave Heaven, I cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in one go, and finally felt what the barrier between heaven and earth that the ancient cultivators spoke of was like.

The road ahead is blocked, and there is no possibility of further breakthrough.

Even if you try to take a step forward, you will receive a warning from heaven and earth.

When it comes to him, the feeling is even deeper.

Because Bai Zichen could touch the Void Refinement stage the moment he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he was only missing a few hard conditions.

Even the mysterious sacred body was helpless in the face of the ultimate limit of heaven and earth, and immediately responded.

As long as one is in the mortal realm, it is impossible to covet the Refinement of Emptiness; this is an inviolable ironclad rule.

"This has finally cleared up my long-standing doubts; my Sacred Body actually has an effect on Void Refinement..."

Of all the known sacred bodies, very few can continue to function during the Void Refinement stage.

The vast majority stop at the Nascent Soul stage.

Bai Zichen was always worried that if his Holy Body failed after his ascension, how long would it take before he could even begin to glimpse the Void Refinement Realm?

Now that the practice of refining emptiness has been proven effective, a great weight has been lifted from my heart.

As for the unification of the five elements, a solution will surely be found once we reach the Earthly Immortal Realm.

What seems difficult in the mortal realm can be easily overcome in the immortal realm, without needing to create unnecessary trouble.

"According to Xiao Zi's memory, even in the Earth Immortal Realm, my age is very advantageous among Void Refinement cultivators... Even if the path becomes difficult after Void Refinement, there is the Great Dao of Time and the Springtime Cave Heaven to make up for it."

The Shaohua Cave Heaven had expanded tenfold compared to when he first became a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the key change was in the Great Dao of Time.

As a rare type of grotto-heaven that does not directly enhance combat power, Shaohua Grotto-heaven provides remarkable benefits to cultivation and the growth of spiritual plants.

The eye position that gathers the true essence of the entire cave, the true essence of time condensed every sixty years in the Time Light Stone Chamber, allows the master inside to experience time travel and instantly enjoy the fruits of eighty years of cultivation.

I have indeed undergone eighty years of cultivation, but it only manifested in the real world for a fleeting moment.

This is equivalent to more than doubling a cultivator's cultivation speed.

Bai Zichen's ability to significantly break the cultivation records of all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage since ancient times owes a great debt to Shaohua Cave Heaven.

Therefore, even if one loses the function of the Holy Body after refining the Void, and one has to break through each bottleneck in the realm on one's own, it does not mean that the end of the world has come.

He was going to ascend to immortality, so of course he wouldn't just choose any place. He would only go to the ancestral temple of the Qingfeng Sect, the Jingming Sect on Penglai Immortal Island.

There is a relatively stable ascension channel there, which can basically guarantee a 70% or higher chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

His strength was already close to the legendary Void Refinement stage, but there was no descending immortal to give him a chance to verify it.

There was no one worth attacking in the cultivation world, and for hundreds of years no one had dared to offend the Qingfeng Sect.

Even if he were to encounter a massive void storm on this path, he wouldn't have any problems ascending.

Staying in the human world is a waste of time.

However, there are still some things to explain before ascending to heaven.

"Master, the ten disciples selected from each branch have arrived at the foot of the peak..."

The small jade rabbit reported from below the courtyard that after so many years, it had only reached the middle rank of the fourth grade.

Besides the limitation of bloodline, it was also due to his own laxity and lack of proper cultivation.

Anyway, if you cling to the master's coattails, your cultivation will be much easier once you ascend to the Immortal Realm with him.

"I don't have the patience to talk to these juniors. You convey my message: once you go to the Western Sea, it won't be so easy to come back... However, once you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, traveling between the two places won't be difficult. Judging from this trend, in four or five hundred years at most, the Western Sea will re-establish its connection with the Ancestral Continent."

Bai Zichen glanced out from inside the cave, taking in the appearances of the ten disciples.

Unlike others, he summoned outstanding disciples not for instruction, but to take them to the Western Sea to prevent the Jingming Sect from being completely cut off there.

He specifically instructed that disciples who were not proficient in the Cantongqi should not be sent over.

This is indeed a rare opportunity for these disciples.

With no other disciples, the Jingming Sect enjoys the most superior cultivation environment in the cave heaven and can also enter the Scripture Pavilion to select cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities based on their performance.

There will definitely be more opportunities for Nascent Soul transformation than staying in Zuzhou.

Diverting a group of disciples can also reduce the intensity of competition within the sect.

Judging from the fact that the waterway leading to Xuanzhou is getting bigger and bigger, almost extending for a hundred miles in length and width, the ancient state of ten continents and eight seas should be restored soon.

However, without the existence of a super teleportation array, if even a Nascent Soul True Monarch has to fly at full speed for several years or even longer to arrive, then communication between them will still be limited.

As for the unseen continents and oceans, it's unlikely they will pose a threat to the Qingfeng Sect.

In ancient times, Zuzhou was the most powerful continent.

Aside from the Western Sea, it is rare for any other continent or sea to have a Nascent Soul cultivator still alive.

The following day, Li Guizhen and Ma Ruoxi were summoned.

"I will not be in the mortal realm for more than a year. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves..."

Bai Zichen looked at his two disciples, whose bodies were filled with a strong yin aura, and said calmly.

"I have no use for these two treasures, but you can use them to protect yourselves and ensure your safety."

The top-grade Heavenly Treasure, Thousand Peaks, was bestowed upon Li Guizhen. This was a forbidden treasure that was forged by cutting down nine fifth-order spiritual mountains.

If there are no restrictions, it won't be long before the cultivation world is destroyed by itself, without any invasion from celestial demons or monsters.

Therefore, only a few of these kinds of magical treasures that can reach the heavens have been passed down from ancient times, and it is impossible to refine them nowadays.

Another Twelve Yuan Chen Constellation Array Flag was bestowed upon Ma Ruoxi, which could summon twelve divine generals with top-grade spirit stones and could be activated at any time.

In some ways, it is more useful than any other magical treasure.

Ignoring the two disciples' thanks, Bai Zichen took out two drops of essence blood and flicked them into the Spirit Beast Hall.

It was the blood essence of the Red-Bearded Lord and Ao Quan that caused these two demons to have second thoughts at the crucial moment and desert in the face of battle, so they would not take them with them to ascend to the upper realm.

The essence blood restriction was transferred to the Spirit Beast Hall, adding two more guardian spirit beasts to the sect.

At this point, all the useless magical artifacts on his person had been disposed of.

……

"Senior Brother Ge is burdened by the fifth-tier spiritual mountain and cannot extricate himself... However, I have already spoken to him about the Jingming Sect. When he ascends to immortality in the future, he will be able to visit them to seek access to the ascension passage."

Bai Zichen climbed to a high place and looked into the distance. In the past few days, he had returned to Black Mountain and revisited every place he remembered from his childhood.

In many places, things have changed, and the feelings of that day can no longer be found.

There was no more lightning strike at Tianlei Cliff. Without the blessing of the sacred beast aura from the White Ancestor, the Bai clan members were also unable to grow Thunder Sound Bamboo.

The bamboo forest on the cliff has long since degenerated into ordinary spiritual bamboo, but fortunately, the Bai clan no longer relies on it for a living.

To irrigate the sacred fields, Wangyue Lake directly diverted its waters back into the lake, altering the landscape of the area.

The lake disappeared, replaced by thousands of acres of mudflats and tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields.

The dragon turtle from back then has not yet passed away; it is just too old to crawl anymore.

Like a hill, it lies quietly on the mudflats, awaiting its end.

Judging from his cultivation level, he is only at the peak of the third rank. He has only been able to live to this day because of the long lifespan of the dragon turtle bloodline.

Upon seeing Bai Zichen, his cloudy eyes darted around twice, and he recognized the man, squeezing out two tears.

It can only be said that demonic beasts have a huge advantage over humans in terms of lifespan.

Bai Zichen's disciples have changed several times over, yet a third-tier turtle demon was able to experience the whole thing.

Having lived from the Foundation Establishment stage to the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, the Dragon Turtle and he were destined to meet. The Dragon Turtle had the Jade Rabbit find two spiritual herbs that could help one enter the Transformation stage and bestowed upon him a drop of Everlasting Spring Holy Water.

Besides being able to revive spiritual plants, the Everlasting Spring Holy Water is also a divine medicine for demonic beasts, capable of extending lifespan by a single drop.

Having obtained this opportunity, the dragon turtle immediately became energetic and its lifelessness vanished.

By the time he left, he was already able to speak human language and communicate simply.

It is estimated that it will be able to successfully transform into human form in less than a hundred years, and the Qingfeng Sect will have another fourth-order dragon turtle spirit beast.

Unfortunately, the Jade Pavilion on Jade Moon Lake has been demolished, and what remains is a reconstruction, which is completely different from the one he personally built.

It was built brick by brick by Bai Zichen, his eldest disciple Tong Huan, and other cultivators, who poured their hearts and souls into it.

Besides these, every peak in Montenegro that left a deep impression on him—River County, Burial Valley, the vast ice plains…

His footprints can be found everywhere.

They're all waiting for this moment of ascension; why would they care about losing a little bit of their lifespan?

Bai Zichen withdrew his thoughts and was about to activate the Heavenly Barrier Passage with the Jingming Sect Mark when a sword light flew from the far distance, instantly traversing thousands of miles.

"Master, why didn't you inform your disciple? We almost arrived too late."

The sword flashed, revealing Song Ding, who was weary from his journey.

His aura was powerful, and he carried three flying swords on his back, creating a chaotic mess of sword intent in the small space.

"It's unnecessary for someone in the Nascent Soul stage to waste their energy traveling from the North Sea... Do you really think my ascension will be fraught with difficulties?"

Bai Zichen looked at the hesitant Song Ding and shook his head with a sigh.

"Fine, come along. You'll have to go to Penglai Island sooner or later anyway."

Thinking of Song Ding's most likely past life identity, Bai Zichen said no more and decided to go to the Jingming Sect's mountain gate in advance to make a name for himself.

He reached out and slashed in front of him, and a passage through the natural barrier appeared, much more stable than when he returned that day.

Bai Zichen, carrying ten disciples, took a step forward, followed closely by Song Ding. Under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators of Lankeshan, they disappeared into the sky.

Walking through the natural barrier this time, there was no more dizziness or disorientation; in the blink of an eye, we arrived at the other end.

When they appeared, they found that it was right in front of the Jingming Sect's mountain gate, exactly as it had appeared.

"Tai Xi and Tai Yi pay their respects to Dao Zi and congratulate him on the perfection of his cultivation and the attainment of the realm of ascension to heaven in broad daylight."

The mountain gate opened wide, and a man and a woman in tall hats and ancient robes walked out and paid their respects with great ceremony.
