Born with immortal seed

Chapter 826 The Fate of the Yin Body

After tapping his chest three times, Bai Zichen's cultivation level suddenly dropped, and his aura returned to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

It has been proven at least that cultivators in the early stages of the Void Refinement realm cannot see through this disguise.

These are the three new techniques for sealing spirits that he learned in the Hall of Longevity. They allow him to conceal his cultivation in an object, thus temporarily reducing his apparent strength.

This method mainly relies on the strength of the sealing artifact; the key is how much true essence it can contain.

He used the remaining three true feathers as targets for sealing his spirit, perfectly reducing his cultivation level back to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

He even had a premonition that even if his cultivation reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, these three True Feathers could withstand it and perfectly conceal his transformation into a peak Nascent Soul stage.

It's not about pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, but it's very useful in situations like today where you lure the snake out of its hole.

He ascended to the Void Refinement Realm in just sixty years, which, in his view from the Hall of Longevity, was astonishing.

Going back further, those who could achieve this were all top disciples of top-tier forces, and half of them later became the next generation of leaders.

Bai Zichen's aura isn't strong enough right now, and even though he mentions Shaoyang Immortal Lord as his backer, he doesn't dare to name him, so his deterrent effect seems limited.

I'm genuinely worried that someone might become curious about his cultivation speed and want to find out more.

Looking at the spoils of this battle, cultivators who have hidden tricks up their sleeves usually carry very few treasures with them.

The Yin-Yang Dividing Cloth is a top-grade, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure that can instantly create an independent space, almost a completely different world from the outside.

This was originally intended by the tall, refined cultivator to conceal his movements, but unexpectedly it helped Bai Zichen leisurely complete his Dream Search.

In this person's memory, the Yin-Yang Dividing Boundary Cloth was made in imitation of a seventh-tier Purple Mansion treasure from the Daoist court, and the original version was countless times stronger in trapping and isolating people when used.

Even in the hands of a Void Refiner, it can trap a Nascent Soul cultivator for a short time.

There were also the Twenty-Four Golden Needles of the Gods, obtained from the short man who had just reached the Void Refinement stage. Each of them was a low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, totaling twenty-four needles.

During the refining process, a wisp of Six Harmonies Star Sand was added, which perfectly matched his incomplete Taixu Dao Body.

A small box of fairy crystals, totaling eighty pieces.

A bag of Sun Gold Sand weighing about five ounces, a sixth-order spiritual object dug from the depths of the Great Sun, is the best medium for unleashing Yang-attribute supernatural powers, and is also used to harmonize Yin and Yang in the refining of magical treasures.

A book that is clearly frequently read and has curled edges.

However, in just four or five pages, it tells the secrets of the Heavenly Palace, the mortal enemy of the Daoist Court.

I glanced at it briefly; it was mainly to explain why the founder of the Heavenly Palace left, saying that the current policies of the Dao Court had deviated from the Heavenly Emperor's purpose, and that the Heavenly Palace was the true orthodox one.

The Heavenly Palace is full of positive energy, and every member receives the best training. The Six Imperial Inheritances are not limited to the Dao Court; they can also contribute them.

"Good heavens, the Heavenly Palace has infiltrated so deeply. No wonder they said this place was the most dangerous enemy, far surpassing the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Five Emperors City..."

Bai Zichen put these things away. In comparison, the information obtained from the soul search was of utmost importance, as it was related to the direction of their future progress.

"The Taixu Dao Body is indeed superior. Even if it is only an incomplete version, one can use it to enter and exit the Taixu and use several void supernatural powers. This person has not actually entered the Void Dao, otherwise he would not have abandoned this supreme Dao and turned to the Return to the Mortal Dao."

The short cultivator clearly lacked confidence in himself, feeling that even with his incomplete Dao body, this path would be difficult to traverse.

No one can easily give up the Great Dao of the Void unless they have already suffered many setbacks and returned empty-handed.

"The most famous one in the complete Taixu Dao Body in the Earth Immortal Realm is none other than the Master who betrayed the Dao Court and founded the Heavenly Palace. He was originally the most promising giant after the Heavenly Emperor to achieve the Dao Fruit and ascend to the Mahayana. It is said that he eventually reached the point where he could travel a million miles in one step and could tour all nine Immortal Realms in a single day, from the morning peak to the evening sky."

The Taixu Dao Body was just a passerby to Bai Zichen; what he was most interested in was the Guangyin Sacred Body.

This is something he has kept in his heart for a thousand years since he entered the world of cultivation.

Everyone wants to understand what led them to where they are today.

"Born of time, returning with the cicada's song, existing eternally alongside the river of time... He who controls time will ultimately become a part of time itself!"

The short, refined cultivator clearly had a strong interest in the Guangyin Dao Body, which was on par with the Taixu Dao Body, and learned a lot about it, which he quickly demonstrated under the Taixu Reincarnation Mantra.

"The ultimate fate is to return to the river of time. What is this? Another form of immortality? The price is to lose oneself?"

Bai Zichen felt a vague sense of foreboding as he recalled the scene of the twelve-winged cicada growing behind him and soaring into the sky to become a giant cicada.

With a flap of its wings, it can stir up the world and change its color, bringing dew and frost.

"The Radiant Void Body is a darling of time, yet it also bears the heavy burden of time. Almost every possessor of the Radiant Void Body meets an untimely end, dying in strange and unusual ways..."

"Moreover, for the Dao Court, even the incomplete version of the Guangyin body will be listed as a candidate for the Longevity Heavenly Venerable among the Six Emperors, and its status is very special."

"A complete Guangyin body will be directly elevated to the position of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, regardless of its realm... This is the Heavenly Emperor's decree, and cannot be disobeyed."

Bai Zichen was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The amount of information contained in this was too much for him to process.

From this perspective, the Dao body of Guangyin is different from other Dao bodies. It is unknown whether this is a coincidence of fate or destiny.

"Wouldn't that prove that I am the embodiment of the Guangyin, and that I can immediately become the Longevity Celestial Venerable among the Six Emperors... No, the Heavenly Emperor has been missing for so many years, it is unknown whether anyone still abides by this rule."

After thinking about it, he decided not to make his special characteristics the focus of everyone's attention.

If even one person harbors any desire for the Guangyin body, it will be a catastrophe for him.

In the main branch of the Dao Court, there are not only three Nascent Soul level experts like in Langyuan.

Anyone could easily subdue him; it takes some supernatural powers to resist him.

"There's another point: the 'Guangyin Body' in this person's memory didn't show any vigorous progress or ignore any bottlenecks, which doesn't quite add up."

Bai Zichen's face was ashen. He realized that his doubts had not been resolved, but rather that he was more confused and had more shadows over him.

In comparison, the matter of the mastermind behind it all seems insignificant.

"The Lord of Qingxuan Palace comes from a great family in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. He has loved esoteric literature since childhood and is well-versed in the classics... Once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he joined the Dao Court and only moved around in the Three Provinces and Nine Offices, holding those prestigious and respectable positions."

"It took him more than eight hundred years to reach the Refinement of Emptiness, and another two thousand years to reach the Perfection of Refinement of Emptiness. With the help of his family and his own efforts, he successfully obtained the position of the Lord of Qingxuan Palace."

"He has an excellent relationship with Commander You Gaogong of the Purple Armor Clan. His ancestors once served as members of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and he also has connections within the Daoist headquarters..."

"Many years ago, there were voices saying that he was one of the contenders for the spot of the Fusion Realm, and his popularity was extremely high... Unfortunately, over the past thousands of years, he has always been just one step behind, missing out on the chance to obtain the Primordial Spiritual Object and the Primordial Qi Azure."

A picture gradually formed in Bai Zichen's mind, becoming more and more complete with each event.

As for why the Lord of Qingxuan Palace had his eye on him and tried every means to capture him back, even his two trusted confidants didn't know.

"Wait a minute, those three ascendants that Han Fang mentioned, who made the armored guards lose face, are most likely the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master and his group... and the one leading the pursuit seems to be the Azure Profound Palace Master!"

Bai Zichen's expression hardened as he pieced together all the events and began to make some guesses.

I feel that even if I don't succeed, it won't be far off.

"What secret did he discover by pursuing the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master? But what does that have to do with me? Why did he turn his attention to me instead..."

“Old Dragon Ao possesses a Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure from the Heavenly Demon Realm, a treasure most coveted by all those at the peak of the Void Refinement stage. If they are caught by the Azure Profound Palace Master, he will definitely reveal the Mountain and River Cauldron to save his life, and once he discovers this, he will never let the three of them go.”

According to intelligence from within the Guardian, three ascendants who had smuggled themselves from the lower realms escaped the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm under the cover of the rebellious cultivators of the Desolate Region.

Even the Qingxuan Palace Master, who was an expert in divination, couldn't catch up and was a step too slow.

Now it seems that the truth may not be so.

It's unclear whether this is just an excuse for the lower-level guards or if the Lord of Qingxuan Prefecture is simply keeping important information from them.

Given the importance of the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure, and considering that the Lord of Qingxuan Palace had missed several opportunities within the Dao Court and the subsequent actions taken, Bai Zichen was inclined to believe that it was a secret, underhanded scheme.

It was almost inexplicable that instead of pursuing the three Heavenly Punishment Peak Masters, they were heading towards Bai Zichen.

Unless one possesses the ability to foresee the future, it is impossible to calculate that the value of the treasures on Bai Zichen's body far exceeds that of the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure.

"If these two people die and are successfully reborn, the Qingxuan Palace Master will soon know what happened, and even the news about the Guangyin Yin Body... The next time I appear before you will be the Qingxuan Palace Master at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, or even a Nascent Soul stage expert!"

In this encounter, Bai Zichen's revelations were quite effective, and he also revealed many hidden cards.

The Lord of Qingxuan Palace will most likely treat him as a fragmented Guangyin body, which would give him a considerable chance of victory.

Bai Zichen, who has no need to hold back and spares no expense, is confident that he can contend with anyone in his combined form.

After refining to the Void, his progress in the Great Dao of Time far exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, it is a comprehensive enhancement from true intention to the great divine power.

The fundamental protective sword of the Azure Emperor, the Longevity Sword, has been used for three hundred years and can be swung five times in a row.

In addition, the River of Time in the Qi Sea can also generate two swords, for a total of seven swords, which pose a certain threat to cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

There is also the ability to snap one's fingers through time, which can cause one's state to revert to any point within ten breaths, and everything except those related to the true meaning of time will return to that instant.

The ability to tread upon time, which could only hide within the river of time for a single breath, was extended to ten breaths due to its absolute defense.

If it lasts any longer, it will almost be able to withstand a complete round of supernatural attacks.

The innate youthful energy can bridge the gap of ten thousand years for spiritual plants, allowing a fifth-order spiritual herb to complete its life cycle from seedling to maturity.

When used on humans, it can deprive all living beings within a hundred miles of their lifespan, limited to those below the Nascent Soul stage.

To those living beings, what difference was there between this and a cataclysmic natural disaster?

The improvement of each and every great Dao divine power has brought about a tremendous change in the overall strength of a powerful combat expert like Bai Zichen.
