Born with immortal seed

Chapter 81, Level 1, Passed!
This kind of close-quarters combat is more like a battle between ordinary martial artists, and it rarely occurs between cultivators.

Bai Zichen suppressed his nervousness, forcing himself not to look up at the few more pearls that had been destroyed on the Crimson Pearl Umbrella, and then drew his Ink Bamboo Sword.

The three-headed blood wolf used both its hands and mouth to hold onto the Golden Sparrow Sword, its blood splattering everywhere as the sword light pierced straight to its bones.

The Ink Bamboo Sword slashed at the nearest Blood Wolf, and a head flew off, but the wolf's body remained entangled around the Golden Sparrow Sword.

He wielded two swords, but did not use them to conjure sword light to kill enemies from a distance. Instead, he engaged in close combat like an ordinary martial artist. His internal magical power was rapidly decreasing, but it was still within a tolerable range.

"Twenty sword strikes, at most twenty more, then we must retreat, otherwise I'll be worn down and die here!"

Bai Zichen has already collected four blood wolf heads, plus the one he collected before, which means he has already met half of the trial requirements.

Unfortunately, he had already killed several blood wolves, but there were too many monsters surrounding them. Before he could finish them off, he was pushed away by the blood wolves behind him. His rotten flesh was trampled underfoot, and his head was nowhere to be found.

As soon as a blood wolf fell, fresh blood rushed in to take its place.

With both swords combined, the blood wolf was cleaved in two from top to bottom, its blood spraying onto the crimson sky, staining it with an eerie crimson hue.

With a deft slap, Mo Zhujian brought the two halves of the blood wolf's head to his feet.

The next moment, the Golden Sparrow Sword was thrust forward, perfectly dodging the Blood Wolf's claws, and piercing precisely into its eye socket. The sword even spit out a beam of light, piercing the Blood Wolf's eyeball as well.

The Ink Bamboo Sword brought out the advantages of lightness and agility to the extreme. The three-foot-long ink-green sword light was like a nimble little snake, swirling and turning in the space filled with demonic beasts. It turned towards the necks of the two blood wolves that were strung up, and brought back the two blood wolf heads.

"Ten swords left!"

Bai Zichen struggled to stay awake, panting heavily. The two sword lights shrank further, becoming almost imperceptible. The fight was now largely based on the sharpness of the flying swords themselves.

His chest heaved like a broken bellows, and with his strength waning, it took him four sword strikes to finally kill the blood wolf.

puff!puff!puff!
Without even looking up, Bai Zichen knew that three more pearls on the surface of the Crimson Canopy Pearl Umbrella had contributed spiritual energy to maintain the crimson glow.

Since he unleashed the treasure umbrella, he hasn't injected any magic power into it. He has relied entirely on the treasures within the artifact itself to sustain the use of all twelve water-repelling pearls, twelve fire-repelling pearls, and twelve dazzling pearls in a short period of time.

The entire book was radiant and magnificent, but more than half of the umbrella's surface was dull and lifeless, and the umbrella itself spun more slowly.

"middle!"

Bai Zichen exhaled a pent-up anger, and with five lightning-fast strikes from the Golden Sparrow Sword, he pierced the blood wolf right next to him, turning it into a blood wolf in the truest sense, successfully storing the tenth head in his storage bag.

After doing all this, Bai Zichen seemed exhausted and stood there motionless. A moment later, the red glow shattered.

After sacrificing the lives of nearly twenty blood wolves, the seemingly impenetrable defense was finally breached. Without pausing, the frenzied blood wolves pounced on the man in front of them, intending to tear him to pieces.

Bai Zichen stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, and was torn into countless pieces, but not a drop of blood was seen. Only pieces of his body scattered into the moonlight and merged into the air.

In the end, his entire being, including the flying sword in his hand and the precious umbrella above his head, vanished without a trace.

With a flash of moonlight, Bai Zichen appeared in the air dozens of feet away, his sword flashing, and walked away without looking back.

The ground was littered with the carcasses of bloody wolves, and a pack of ferocious wolves were frantically crashing against the rocks in the mountainside, even with their heads bleeding profusely.

Only after the rosin-scented stick went out did the Blood Wolf finally calm down, and the corpses on the mountain wall had piled up into a high layer.

"The Illusion Moon Spirit Pendant is quite useful for dealing with stupid, mindless monsters."

The golden sword light flew crookedly, only half its usual speed.

Bai Zichen touched the Illusion Moon Spirit Pendant on his chest. This standard magic weapon issued to inner disciples played a crucial role at the last moment.

It can not only replicate the illusion of a cultivator, but also perfectly reproduce the magical artifacts they use, though they are just blank sheets of paper and do not possess any power.

Meanwhile, the main body was automatically granted an invisibility spell, which bought Bai Zichen time to escape from the nameless valley.

Upon returning to the sect, Bai Zichen first went to his own cave to rest and change into a clean Daoist robe before going to the Transmission Hall to submit his trial certificate.

When ten bloody wolf heads, some of which required piecing together to reveal their original form, were placed before Pei Dongyong, the lean old man was visibly surprised.

"You completed the trial in just three days, that's very efficient... It seems I underestimated you. Besides your cultivation aptitude, your combat talent is equally outstanding."

Pei Dongyong waved his sleeve, and a giant spiritual hand grabbed all the blood wolf heads in his palm, instantly drying the bloody, wet monster heads.

This is the very technique that made Pei Dongyong famous: the Innate Five Elements Great Capture.

"You've taken the path of flying swords? No wonder your combat strength is impressive... Once you become a true disciple, if you have any questions about swordsmanship, you can seek out Elder Luo Guangwu. Within the sect, only Junior Brother Luo is considered to have followed the path of sword cultivation; the rest of us would be powerless to teach him swordsmanship even if we wanted to."

With his extensive experience and keen insight, Pei Dongyong immediately recognized that the wound on the wolf's head was caused by a flying sword.

The tone of his words already implied that Bai Zichen was a true disciple, and he began to introduce him to senior sword masters.

"Thank you, Elder Pei."

Bai Zichen was unaware that there was a sword cultivator elder in the Qingfeng Sect. He was only familiar with a few people he had interacted with, as well as some high-ranking and powerful figures.

"Five days later, in the Hall of Enforcement, the second trial will begin."

Pei Dongyong flicked his sleeve, and a pure white giant hand wrapped Bai Zichen up and tossed him aside. They were already outside the Transmission Hall.

……

Feeling that his magical power was waning during the battle with the Blood Wolves, Bai Zichen went to the Alchemy Hall to buy two bottles of Qi-restoring powder for himself.

If a Qi Refining cultivator takes one pill, their mana recovery speed will increase threefold within one hour.

Over the next few days, I stayed in my cave and carefully reflected on the lessons learned from the bloody battle in the nameless valley.

Meanwhile, Su Lie would compile several news items about the True Inheritance Trial and report them to him every day.

If the sect's minor competition is to be said, it is the most eye-catching event among the outer sect members.

The True Inheritance Trial is closely watched by everyone from the lowest-ranking disciples and fire-working Taoists to the sect's stewards and even elders.

Bai Zichen's deeds have been summarized into lengthy pages by busybodies, of course, many of which contain speculative content.

Mainly because he has always been low-key and rarely interacts with others.

Initially, most people considered him a mere participant, someone who had overestimated his abilities to issue a challenge. However, after news spread from the Transmission Hall that he had passed the first trial, the tide turned immediately.

Bai Zichen has been portrayed as someone who is diligently cultivating and waiting for the true disciple trial to make a name for himself.

On the other side, on the fifth day of the trial, Xiong Baishan, accompanied by his bear beast, carried a black viper at the peak of the first tier, and the two of them entered the sect.

This serpentine monster was as thick as an ordinary man's waist and a full five zhang long.

If we take another step forward and stimulate the dragon blood, we can successfully transform into a dragon.
