Born with immortal seed

Chapter 814 Earth-based Polygonatum
The two were new to the Void Refinement stage, and the dragon-type demon beast that possessed a Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure was a formidable opponent. If they were to fight again, the Azure Profound Palace Master was absolutely confident that he could defeat it.

Therefore, after returning to Langyuan, he did not inform the guards, only saying that the divine divination had failed.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the legendary Mountain and River Cauldron. I heard it was taken by the demon race, so how could it appear here with an ascended cultivator?"

With a wave of his wide sleeves, the Lord of Qingxuan Palace sent hundreds of jade slips falling and floating in front of him.

They went straight to one of the pieces, scanned its contents, and read the records related to the Mountain and River Cauldron.

"A celestial treasure born in a lower realm called the Hidden Dragon Realm did indeed fall into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Realm. Such a small world actually stirred up such a great storm, with more than ten people, including the Azure-Armored Guards and other Void Refinement cultivators, descending to this realm..."

The Lord of Qingxuan Palace frowned. Unless there is a corresponding lineage, few people pay attention to things in the lower realm, let alone things that happened so long ago.

But upon reviewing the case files, something seemed amiss.

In a typical minor world, sending a few Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their Nascent Soul stage is sufficient to resolve the issue.

In special circumstances, sealing one's cultivation level and lowering one's realm is already the limit.

There are more than ten Void Refining cultivators descending to the Realm before and after; the cost is too high, and even the Dao Court cannot pass the normal procedures.

Just helping so many Void Refinement cultivators rush through the ascension channel would require enough resources to cultivate another Nascent Soul cultivator. Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?

Further investigation into the reasons and the aftermath of the Hidden Dragon Realm revealed that the records on the jade slip were very limited, and the ending was abrupt and abrupt.

It is only said that the spiritual veins of the Hidden Dragon Realm are in decline and sliding towards the end of Dharma, and therefore have no value for cultivation.

"How could three people ascend to immortality in a world that is sliding towards the end of Dharma, and perform so exceptionally well... I'm afraid there's a real secret hidden in the Hidden Dragon Realm, which has been covered up by those above."

Originally, the Lord of Qingxuan Palace only had the idea of ​​embezzling the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure, but now he feels that he may be drawn into a terrible vortex.

A wisp of primordial azure energy is a supreme divine object for all cultivators who have reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

As long as it appears in the world, it can drive all the powerful beings in the world who have the potential to unite into one into a frenzy.

With the opportunity to unite before him, the Lord of Qingxuan Palace no longer cared about his relationship with the guards.

However, recent discoveries suggest there are many suspicious points involved, and it is highly likely that there are connections he cannot fulfill.

He then suppressed the urge to immediately set off in pursuit, lest he be swayed by fate and not only return empty-handed but also potentially fall into a trap.

"The old Taoist's mark is divided into two layers. The outer layer of true essence can be worn away by a willing person over several years. The inner mark is invisible and traceless. It can only play a role when the old Taoist casts a divination. No matter how far you run, it will be useless... Don't rush to chase after him. First, find out the secrets about the Hidden Dragon Realm, so as not to stumble into the scheme of some big shot and die without even knowing how."

In the past, Qingxuan Mansion was in charge of the salvation of the dead and the spirits of ghost cultivators.

Beneath the seal of the Eastern Pole, all ghosts bow their heads.

However, with the disappearance of the Celestial Venerable and the decline of the Daoist court, it lost its power that once commanded the response of ten thousand ghosts and became just an ordinary prefecture.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the turn of a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage to become the Lord of the Palace.

But being the lord of the prefecture, he was greeted by two celestial officials as soon as he left the secret chamber, who prostrated themselves before him.

"Go to the Armor Guard and bring over all the Ascended records from the past ten thousand years... Remember, all of them, not a single one can be missed."

As the Lord of Qingxuan Prefecture stepped into the front hall to handle the official business that had accumulated over this period, the words "Zhelong Realm" were still swirling in his mind, and he couldn't let them go.

……

"Earth-element Solomon's Seal, two pieces of immortal crystals and one ounce, can increase the quality of earth spirit root when taken... Take sixteen ounces in a row, as long as you are not extremely stupid, you can reach the limit."

Accompanied by Han Fang, Bai Zichen visited the Nazhen Pavilion in the South District for the first time and witnessed another side of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Everything you can imagine, and even things beyond your wildest imagination, can be found in Nazhen Pavilion.

After passing through three massive crystal walls, a vast amount of sales information scrolled across them, densely packed, numbering in the millions.

If you see something that interests you, simply tap on it to see pictures and text descriptions, the price, or what you want to exchange.

The Earth-based Solomon's Seal, a spiritual substance that could cause major sects to fight tooth and nail in the human realm, lay quietly at the bottom of the crystal wall.

This means that a Heavenly Spiritual Root is nothing special in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

With just thirty-two immortal crystals, one can create a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

But then again, this is the salary of a White Armor Guard for a full 320 years, so you can tell that not just anyone can have this kind of treatment.

How could someone like Han Fang, who came from a low-level cultivator family, possibly dream of improving the grade of his spiritual root during his upbringing?

"Brother Bai should understand why the offspring of those great figures can still reach the Nascent Soul stage no matter how much they indulge in frivolous pursuits and extravagant lifestyles... There are too many divine objects that can change their innate qualities, and the ancestral caves contain various trial realms. As long as they show even a little talent, they can enjoy billions of times more cultivation resources than ordinary people."

Han Fang said with a cold smile.

"Brother Han, it has not been easy for you to get to where you are today."

Just like the disciples of the minor sects in the northern regions who come from impoverished backgrounds in the human world, they are far inferior to the disciples of the super sects in the central regions from the very beginning.

In the realm of mortal immortals, this difference is magnified a thousandfold.

If cultivators in the lower realms can defy fate and change their destiny through their talent, those in the Earthly Immortal Realm rely more on their destiny and fortune.

After all, so-called talent can be mass-produced by powerful beings who combine their powers; it's not unusual.

Perhaps only a few holy bodies can make the fusion body take notice, which can barely be considered a talent.

Bai Zichen calculated his assets, bought six portions of Earthy Yellow Essence, and his spirit stones were almost gone.

I can only hope that the effect of absorbing the essence won't be too bad. If I really take sixteen ounces before I can upgrade to the Earth Element Heavenly Spirit Root, even if I squeeze it dry, I won't be able to produce any more spirit stones.

At times like this, one can only regret not having collected more top-grade spirit stones before ascending to immortality.

Given his status in the human world, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do so; he could easily scrape together another thousand or so.

I just arrived at Nazhen Pavilion, and before I even started browsing, I had already reached my goal and was short of money, so my interest in continuing to explore waned.

Looking at the dazzling array of treasures on the crystal walls, yet having nothing to do with them, is a very unpleasant feeling.

"Brother Bai has the resources of this realm as a backing, you are really generous... When I came to Langyuan, I didn't even dare to dream of such spiritual objects."

Han Fang's eyes showed envy, but there was no malice in them; it was just a simple sigh.

"This has used up all my savings, and I can't afford to buy anything else..."

The thought of still needing to improve his Wood Spirit Root made Bai Zichen's vision go black.

Having not worried about spirit stones for a long time, this is the first practical problem I face after arriving in the Immortal Realm.

Of course, he has a lot of good stuff on him, and if he were to take it out for exchange, he could easily get a large amount of immortal crystals.

For example, the three remaining feathers among the five-colored plumage, the most flourishing gourd vine in the grotto, and the map of the positions of gods and spirits that holds countless secrets.

They either can't bear to part with their money, or bringing it out will only bring trouble; there's no good deal to be made.

Han Fang and I strolled around for another hundred steps and saw at least four or five items that would be of benefit to us.

Han Fang was no exception; his eyes were glued to a flower of Li Huo Essence, and he couldn't look away.

Presumably, they were blocked from the unification of the five elements and urgently needed a pure sixth-order spiritual object.

"Brother Han, do you know if there are any good jobs in the Immortal City that can earn Immortal Crystals?"

After seeing the sale of the 100-day opportunity at Muxian Mansion, Bai Zichen could no longer contain himself and asked a question.

"If I had known, I would have done it sooner..."

Han Fang shook his head and bluntly criticized him.

"Even if you have a unique skill, you can only earn a few hard-earned spirit stones. Don't think you can turn your life around with it. Whether you refine pills, forge weapons, make talismans, or set up formations, what kind of talent doesn't the inner city have? Do you think they'll miss a Nascent Soul cultivator like you? If you really want to earn immortal crystals, there's only one way: risk your life!"

"Guards can proactively apply for missions. Those who go to Tianyuan will receive triple pay, and the Dao Court will cover all healing pills. They will also have priority in exchanging for various spiritual items needed for advancement!"

"The next best option is to go to the outer heavens and fight against all sorts of mutated star beasts. Each star core you hand over is worth five immortal crystals, and the rest of the star beast materials are yours. If you're lucky, you can come back from the outer heavens with dozens of immortal crystals. If you're unlucky... well, you don't have to come back."

Bai Zichen knew what Tianyuan was, but he didn't know anything about extraterrestrial beasts, so he immediately asked.

The Immortal Realm is the center of the universe, surrounded by countless smaller worlds, and even more distant worlds are drawn to it.

Behind the dazzling galaxy, on countless continents, there also live countless other creatures.

Of course, it can't be like the Earthly Immortal Realm, where everyone has spiritual roots and can embark on the path to immortality, and where immortals and mortals live together like in the lower realms.

However, the upper limit is much higher than in the human world; at least one can cultivate to the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

Therefore, behind each immortal realm, there are dozens of smaller worlds and hundreds of outer worlds, constantly providing fresh blood.

Star Beasts are monsters that grow by bathing in cosmic rays and devouring starlight; they possess terrifying strength.

It has appeared at levels ranging from the fifth to the seventh.

Star beasts dare not invade the Earthly Immortal Realm; instead, they wreak havoc in the outer world, smashing and destroying continent after continent.

At its peak, most of the thirty-six Heavenly Generals of the Armor Guard patrolled the starry sky, nearly wiping out the star beasts.

However, hundreds of thousands of years is enough time for the star beast population to grow stronger again.

"Sounds good, but it seems quite risky..."

After hearing the introduction, Bai Zichen became interested.

It's not just about hunting star beasts, but also about observing the starry sky and pushing the Star River Sword Formation a step further.

His strongest trump card, due to his congenital defect, makes it unlikely that he can fight beyond his level at the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if one were in the starry sky, a Refining Void cultivator would not fear running out of true essence and would not be worn down by the grinding of stars.

On the contrary, the sword formation upgraded the flying swords to the fifth rank. When the Void Refining Sword unleashed its full power with the power of the cave heaven, no fifth-rank flying sword except the Purple Star Thunder Sword could withstand it.

Only by significantly enhancing the true meaning of the starry sky and allowing the Star River Sword Formation to leap forward another level can it continue to demonstrate its heaven-defying combat power in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"The casualty rate of the guards who hunt star beasts has been over 30% for more than ten years... What's scary is that in addition to facing star beasts, you also have to face dangers from your own side."

Han Fang sighed and said in a low voice.

"The outer starry river is almost like a lawless land. As long as you leave clean, the guards won't be able to find anything when you come back. The guards' own people should also contribute a lot to this casualty rate."
