Born with immortal seed

Chapter 820 Starship
Vajra Sword Technique, Heavenly Eye Sword Technique, Falling Star Sword Technique...

Any sword technique found in the Hall of Longevity would be a top-tier sword technique capable of cultivating sword intent if placed in the lower realm.

Normally, a Nascent Soul cultivator can only master two or three techniques at most, so there's no need to strive for more.

Firstly, it takes too much time and energy, which will inevitably lead to a decline in cultivation level.

Secondly, more sword intent is not necessarily better.

A refined approach is definitely more effective than a superficial, indiscriminate approach.

Just like Bai Zichen, who clearly had the initial form of the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent and the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent, but never went deep into them.

No amount of sword intent can compare to carefully considering even a fraction of the sword intent of time.

But the purpose is different now; to put it bluntly, these sword techniques are just to fill in the gaps in the sword manual.

If you only read it once and understand the principles of swordsmanship, you will never have the opportunity to control it.

Once he mastered it, the Wuzhen Sword Manual became even more comprehensive, serving as a resource for the growth of this all-encompassing sword manual.

With Bai Zichen's keen eye for swordsmanship, coupled with the blessing of the mysterious Holy Body, he could master this type of sword technique in just a few months.

In any case, there's no need to delve too deeply into the details. As long as one can integrate the sword manual, with the talent of Sword Heart Clarity and the characteristics of Wuzhen Sword Technique, one will naturally master these sword techniques.

Once you want to control it, you can easily activate it with a single thought.

In some ways, the Wuzhen Sword Technique and his junior disciple's Guicang Sacred Body are somewhat similar.

It can dissect all sword techniques in the world and devise countermeasures.

This ability varies depending on the number of sword techniques the practitioner has mastered, and it tends to become stronger with each subsequent practitioner.

Of course, it is far less applicable than the Guicang Holy Body, and it is also much worse in its initial stage.

Time always flies when practicing swordsmanship.

On the day of once again soaking in the Mortal Transformation Pool, Bai Zichen arrived at the jade platform on time and handed over the token.

Just as expected, they entered the Transformation Pool smoothly without any difficulties.

The turbid air in the pool quickly dissipated, making my body feel lighter and lighter, while my heart sank even deeper.

There is only one possibility for this illogical situation: someone is deliberately clearing obstacles for him.

"Are you trying to get me to finish refining the turbid energy as soon as possible, so that I'll have to fulfill my guard duties and leave Langyuan?"

Bai Zichen stood up from the pool and left with a frown.

"From this perspective, the one who harbors malicious intentions towards me is neither a member of the White Armor Guard nor one of those powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage... Otherwise, there would be a hundred ways to force me to either accept the mission early or shed the skin of a White Armor Guard."

There are only three of them in Langyuan who have joined forces, and even the phrase "a word is worth nine tripods" is not enough to describe their status in the Immortal City.

What they want to accomplish will not be difficult at all in the city.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator who has recently ascended, dealing with such a situation is as simple as saying a few words.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Jiawei's identity that came into play.

What Bai Zichen didn't know was that his identity had already fallen into the eyes of the Purple Armor Commander, who had marked him as a key person to watch.

However, since he was born in the Hidden Dragon Realm and was suspected of having connections with the Immortal Lord of this sect, he dared not get involved lightly.

Having reached the position of You Gaogong, he understood even more clearly what kind of feat it was to send dozens of Void Refinement cultivators to the lower realm.

Given his status as a Heavenly General of the Dao Court and a Venerable One at the Integration Realm, he would feel the pinch even if he had to bear the resources of a Void Refining Descendant.

Regarding that period of history, the Heavenly Book records within the Daoist Court are blank and hidden, and the predecessors' union is shrouded in secrecy. All signs indicate that there is a great secret in the Hidden Dragon Realm.

You Gaogong still has tens of thousands of years of lifespan left, and he has several paths to take. There is no need for him to fight like those who have exhausted all their resources and are on the verge of collapse.

Whenever an opportunity arises, seize it, regardless of the consequences.

The Hidden Dragon Realm is clearly a huge pit, a battlefield for top-tier combined beings to plot and scheme.

Joining rashly would not be good even for a purple-armored commander.

Even among those that combine, there are differences.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, they would probably choose to stall and buy time in this situation.

Since you are wary of your status as a guard and dare not disobey the Dao Court's laws, I will voluntarily slow down the speed of refining the turbid energy and live peacefully in Langyuan.

It might take hundreds of years, until the other party loses patience or seeks a better position to protect themselves.

But Bai Zichen couldn't do that. After leaving the Mortal Transformation Pool, he glanced at the empty space behind him.

His steps were steady, and he seemed unaffected by the incident.

……

Time flies and stars shift.

Over the past thirty years, several events, both minor and major, have occurred in Langyuan.

It was insignificant in the grand scheme of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but it became a hot topic of conversation in Langyuan.

Even low-level cultivators at the Core Formation stage can engage in lively discussions during their leisure time.

In a world where everyone possesses spiritual roots and everyone cultivates, individual power is greatly enhanced.

In addition, the Earthly Immortal Realm is inherently rich in spiritual energy, teeming with spiritual vitality, and abundant in natural treasures.

Simply scatter a couple of spirit seeds and plant a few seedlings, and you'll grow abundant spirit rice and immortal fruits, never worrying about being full.

In daily labor, hardship and odd jobs, puppets are used to perform their duties.

Even a low-level cultivator who is stuck at the Core Formation stage for their entire life and has no hope of breaking through can still have a decent quality of life as long as they live in an immortal city.

Because they have no chance to climb to higher realms and have plenty of free time, these people are most interested in anecdotes about high-level cultivators.

For example, three more Ascension Wells completely dimmed and lost contact with the lower realm.

For example, cultivators from the Five Emperors City came to Langyuan to exchange Taoist techniques, and it is said that they won seven consecutive battles of the Taoist Court's Void Refining Realm.

For example, Long Zhi, a well-known cultivator at the Refinement stage, failed to compete for the position of Minister of Thunder Commandery and is said to be preparing to leave for distant lands.

"Brother Huang, you're well-informed. Tell us what's going on with that Senior Long Zhi... Didn't they say he's held several positions, performed exceptionally well, and has a powerful backer? Is his candidacy for the position of Prime Minister a sure thing?"

"Hehe, it's not that simple... If it were really as he said, how could someone with a relationship with Kitagawa Daoren have failed to be selected? It's just that we met a few times. He's been away from the Armor Guard for too long, so he can't get support from either side."

At a teahouse in the outer city, a group of cultivators gathered, sipping tea and chatting.

Most of them were Core Formation cultivators, except for the one in the middle who was a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was enjoying being the center of attention and was talking about some secondhand information he had heard from who-knows-where.

"Moreover, that Senior Long is an Ascended cultivator. Apart from a few Ascended cultivators, how many people can support him? It's a pity that his die-hard supporters all met bad ends and were kicked out of their lucrative positions."

On the third floor of the teahouse, two people sat facing each other. Hearing the sounds coming from downstairs, one of them gripped his teacup tightly, his brows furrowed in embarrassment.

"These people are slandering Senior Long behind his back, they are so arrogant and ignorant. We should notify the guards to arrest them all and exile them to the wilderness!"

This man had ordinary features, a resolute and dignified appearance, and a strong and powerful voice.

“Feng Yang, let them go. These people have lived in the Immortal City for generations... Although their cultivation is low, there are always a few in their families who have reached the Refinement stage. Their connections are complicated. If we arrest one, we will attract a whole bunch of trouble.”

Lin Hejun waved his hand, his handsome face looking somewhat haggard.

"Brother Lin, it's obvious that someone deliberately manipulated your selection to Tianyuan, just in case Senior Long makes a comeback next time... Tianyuan is dangerous, so you must take care of yourself for the next few hundred years."

Feng Yang put down his teacup and let out a long, helpless sigh.

The small group surrounding Long Zhi was completely dismantled, and those with even a little skill were all sent away from the Immortal City.

Go to the Heavenly Abyss, go to the Desolate Region, go to the Outer Heavens—it's everywhere.

Of these, Tianyuan is undoubtedly the most dangerous.

One wrong move and you could be stuck there forever, with no hope of ever returning.

"So be it. As long as I can survive, I might be able to gather enough resources to break through to the Void Refinement stage."

Lin Hejun said with a wry smile.

Even those at the Void Refinement stage wouldn't dare say they'd survive to the next round in the Heavenly Abyss, let alone the even fewer Nascent Soul cultivators.

Within the Heavenly Abyss, the fifth-tier demon race was as numerous as the river's flow, with countless fresh blood pouring in every moment.

The number of sixth-tier demon saints who joined the fight was also much greater than that of the human race.

It's not that the Heavenly Demon Realm is stronger than the Earthly Immortal Realm, but rather that the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Monster Realms are working together on one side, while the other side is just a branch of the Dao Court, which can no longer represent the entire Earthly Immortal Realm.

Even those who went to fight Tianyuan were mainly armored guards; the Dao Court was far from going all out.

Several months ago, Long Zhi lost the competition for the position of Minister of Thunder Commandery, which dealt a major blow to their Ascended Team.

Many members deliberately distanced themselves upon seeing this, realizing they couldn't benefit from it and might even be implicated, so they decided to cut ties as soon as possible.

Those who remained were far less united than before.

Lin Hejun, as an active member, was clearly being targeted for his efforts to win over newcomers.

When the guards were reassigning tasks, they felt a chill run down their spines when they saw that they had drawn the Tianyuan Frontline.

"Feng Yang, you have just ascended, these things will not happen to you... Remember to cultivate well, and only by reaching the Void Refinement stage as soon as possible can you gain a foothold in Langyuan."

Lin Hejun gave a few instructions to the younger generation, said goodbye, and left the teahouse before heading to the place where they would board the starship.

I was hoping to reach Tianyuan soon so I could make some friends and help each other when facing the demon race in the future.

Tianyuan is located at the far end of the Immortal Realm, and it would take a Nascent Soul cultivator countless years to reach it.

However, there are starships crafted by the Daoist court, engraved with void arrays, which can break through the azure sky and travel through the vast void.

For it, a million miles is just a matter of jumping between a few nodes.

What would take a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage decades to travel, a starship could reach in a hundred days.

Of course, this requires that void nodes be set up along the fixed route that the starship travels.

It's like having many teleportation arrays linked together, all carried out by the starship.

Compared to the super teleportation array, although it takes a bit longer, the operating cost is less than 100%, and it can also patrol the route.

The starships played a crucial role in enabling the Dao Court to govern such a vast Immortal Realm, allowing for the rapid deployment of combat power to the front lines.

"That person looks like Bai Zichen?"

Before boarding the starship, Lin Hejun suddenly turned around and saw a familiar figure boarding the starship next door in another queue.

"His figure and temperament are very similar, but he didn't join us, so how could he refine the turbid energy so quickly... Besides, the first duty of the guards is very simple, basically patrolling near the immortal city, so they don't need to use starships."

Lin Hejun withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about these things.

I'm already on my own journey to Tianyuan, and I don't even know if I'll live or die. How could I have any interest in investigating others?

I caught a glimpse of that starship heading out into the heavens to hunt star beasts.
