Born with immortal seed

Chapter 865 This is the Immortal Realm I'm Used To
'I only tricked a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion out of two thousand immortal crystals with a fake innate spiritual root. Surely it's not necessary for a Nascent Soul cultivator to make the whole trip personally?'

Zhu Shouzhou felt uneasy, especially since his own misdeeds had come to light.

Knowing that this matter wouldn't affect the sect, I was just afraid that Senior Brother Feng would be blamed and lose face.

'Never mind, at most I'll try to obtain a supreme Yin Immortal Item from the Six Blessings Immortal Realm and apologize to Senior Brother Feng later…'

The lineage of Master Song follows the path of yin and yang harmony, with each person having a particular inclination based on their innate talents.

To master the Yin-Yang Dao and ascend the Immortal Ladder, besides the creation of the heavens and the Primordial Qi, it is best to have the celestial talent of extreme Yin and Yang to serve as the supporting medicine.

Both senior brothers used this method, making their advancement 30% easier than that of ordinary cultivators.

However, after so many millennia, the sect's resources have been exhausted, and later disciples can only rely on their own efforts.

Zhu Shouzhou glanced at the passionately engaged Master Kuzhu and Fairy Xiao, but didn't bother to look away. He had his own channels in Jianguan to know that this Fairy Xiao had over a hundred male lovers.

From powerful figures to exceptional talents, we welcome all.

Choosing to leave the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm was going too far. He took the direct descendant of the famous rogue cultivator, Mad Sword, to death, severing his bloodline.

That's why they spent a fortune and fled in a panic.

However, he couldn't quite figure out that junior Nascent Soul cultivator; he was certain that he was not as simple as he appeared.

“Fellow Daoist Zhu, there is not an inch of land in the Azure Sea Heaven. It is a paradise for sea monsters... They cannot rest all year round, so they inevitably lose their vigilance. There are quite a few exiled monsters in this place, including quite a few at the level of sixth-order demon saints.”

Master Kuzhu turned around and extended an invitation, explaining that human cultivators could only survive in places like Bihaitian by banding together.

"Why don't the three of us join forces, retrieve those water-based spiritual objects recorded in the records, and then go to find the Heavenly Water Eye to travel to the Six Blessings Immortal Realm?"

"That would be best. We were just about to forge a Hundred Spirits Frost Dragon Sword to match the Thousand Flames Vermilion Bird Sword we have now. The essence of a hundred sixth-order Frost Dragons is a bit exaggerated, but we should at least gather ten of them... The other flying sword is made up of a hundred clusters of Heavenly Fire, all united under one Southern Bright Fire True Flame. If the new sword is too weak, it won't be able to achieve the effect of yin and yang harmony."

Zhu Shouzhou readily agreed. Strictly speaking, the Azure Sea Heaven was a world of sea beasts, without even a single island, and there was no place for humans to settle down.

Only half-demon races such as merfolk and red carp can survive here and have established sizable communities.

As for the human race, only a few high-level cultivators arrived and built giant warships comparable to cities, which endlessly drifted on the sea.

But such a massive ship cannot last long once its core leader passes away.

A single demon saint playing in the waves is enough to capsize a giant ship.

Unless new Void Refinement cultivators are recruited or they are placed under the command of other powerful figures, the hundreds of thousands or even millions of humans on the ship will not survive.

"We only need the essence of the Cold Dragon; you can take the rest of the flesh, bones, and demon core yourself."

"Alright, let's distribute them as Brother Zhu suggested... Fairy Xiao, how about we take turns choosing, and you go first?"

Master Kuzhu readily agreed, and on the surface, it seemed that Zhu Shouzhou would definitely be at a disadvantage with this method of distribution.

The essence alone is definitely not worth a third of the entire Cold Dragon.

However, it is of great use to his sword-forging and is related to the Dao of Yin and Yang, so it cannot be calculated in such a simple way.

After seeing Fairy Xiao nod slightly in approval, Venerable Kuzhu's ambitions grew even larger: "Hey kid, I heard you can forge swords? Perfect, you can follow behind and handle the materials from the demon beasts. You're hardworking, and I can even give you some scraps."

“I have a Heart-Eating Curse. If you obediently accept it, it will not only have no harm but will also strengthen your divine power… But if you dare to disobey the order, you will experience pain that is more than a hundred times worse than the most terrifying restriction you can imagine.”

A Nascent Soul cultivator who can afford the cost of a super teleportation array and still find a way to access it either has someone backing them up or has encountered extraordinary opportunities.

More likely, it's a combination of both.

Master Kuzhu was not unaware of this, but in the Azure Sea Heaven, in front of three Void Refinement cultivators, no matter how many trump cards this person had hidden, it would be in vain.

Zhu Shouzhou and Xiaoxianzi remained silent, observing his performance with indifference, as they wanted to expose the unstable factors sooner rather than later.

"Put a Heart-Eating Curse on me?"

Bai Zichen looked away from the magnificent three-thousand-foot-high white waves, as if he had just come back to his senses, and repeated it again.

"That's right. In an unfamiliar immortal realm, with a junior you've never met, it's normal to squeeze everything out of them and then discard them like trash once they're no longer of use... I've lived peacefully in Sword Pass for several years, and I've almost forgotten what kind of world this is."

"What nonsense! If you're unwilling, then capture us and we'll slowly prepare you!"

Master Kuzhu sensed something was amiss. No matter how many tricks a Nascent Soul cultivator had up their sleeve, they shouldn't be able to remain calm and composed in this situation.

With a flick of his wide sleeves, countless sword lights flew out, engulfing Bai Zichen.

However, he only paid attention to a third of his attention, focusing more on the two fellow cultivators beside him, fearing that they might be in cahoots with the junior Nascent Soul cultivators.

"A mere grain of light has tarnished the very name of the sword formation!"

A golden ray of light pierced through the myriad gray sword lights, and the sounds of bamboo strips snapping broke through it all at once.

The golden energy was so intense that it was as if what was being surrounded was not a sword cultivator, but the core of a cosmic star that condensed all the five metals of the world.

While the lightning on Bai Zichen's fingertips was still flickering, the lightning sword light had already descended upon the head of Master Kuzhu.

"The two of you helped me! This person was hiding his cultivation level; he's actually at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm!"

What was reflected in the pupils of the Bitter Bamboo Master was no longer lightning, but a sword formed from countless bolts of lightning.

It roared in and, before it even reached me, shattered the layers of protective spiritual light.

He lost his guard, his natal sword was first shattered, and then he was attacked by a sixth-tier flying sword, which immediately put him in an extremely dangerous situation.

While they cried out for help, a dense bamboo forest grew out of the sea, numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands, forming a patch of bluish-gray light.

With each bolt of lightning, the bamboo forest trembled violently, shaking off countless bamboo leaves.

The sword light spread out, and its residual power spread into the sea, causing the entire sea area to boil.

In an instant, countless fish, shrimp and sea creatures rose to the surface of the sea, and several unlucky dragons floated there belly up.

"Fellow Daoist, let's talk this out. There's no need to resort to violence. We've traveled together, which is a kind of fate!"

Fairy Xiao opened her mouth with seductive music, struck an alluring pose, and with a twist of her soft, boneless waist, exposed large expanses of her fair skin.

With ten long, slender fingers joined together, their cold light gleaming, they aimed directly at several acupoints on Bai Zichen's body.

It appears to be fraught with danger, but in reality, it is all bark and no bite, possessing little real power.

Once you reach the Refinement of Emptiness level, you can treat any exchange or competition as a mere clash of true essences, without needing to unleash the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Even if the physical body is injured, there are plenty of ways to repair it.

Only the overwhelming power of the Great Dao and the relentless test of true intentions can truly move people to action.

Just like the miraculous reunification of the physical body brought about by the True Bone of the Undying Cave, if a foreign True Meaning invades the body, even if it is scattered and reunited, the result will be the same.

Fairy Xiao is a shrewd and sophisticated person; how could she be persuaded with just a few words and end up offending someone to the point of death?

This unfamiliar swordsman was mysterious and unpredictable; he immediately unleashed two sixth-tier flying swords.

It looks extremely difficult to deal with, and even if you go all out, you might not be able to take it down.

There's no reason to create an enemy for yourself; you won't be a match for this person when you're alone in the future.

Zhu Shouzhou was even more decisive. With a quick press and a twist of his hands, a vermilion bird circled in front of him.

He simply locked his energy in place, showing no intention of making a move.

The three were not a very strong alliance to begin with, so the idea of ​​them working together wholeheartedly and without reservation was simply wishful thinking.

"The Dao is annihilated!"

Bai Zichen didn't even look, letting the finger shadows pierce his body, clanging incessantly. The twelve fifth-tier flying swords merged into one point and slashed downwards.

As his cultivation level improved, the way he used this sword technique was very different from before. It had many variations, and the combination of sword intent was just right.

The sword light was dim and eerie, and time seemed to stand still for a moment, freezing into a picture scroll: deathly silence, destruction, nothingness, returning to the beginning.

It is no longer a half-finished product with only a clear intention but crude swordsmanship and no polishing.

Through countless sword duels and deductions, the concept of the Dao's birth and death had become ingrained in his bones, readily available to him.

When facing different enemies, the answer to what combination of sword intent to use instantly and subconsciously surfaced in my mind.

"No!"

Master Kuzhu was horrified to discover that the defensive magic formed by the 9,999 bitter bamboos that served as the nodes of his manifested grotto-heaven had not been able to withstand even a single attack.

This once helped him escape from a late-stage Void Refinement Realm expert!

All the branches and leaves on the spirit bamboo withered and fell, reaching their end.

A sea breeze blew, and the smoke and clouds dispersed.

The magical artifacts offered up in front of him were all riddled with holes, making him seem far too fragile for an opponent of his level.

The body split in two, becoming two smooth pieces of corpse, even the blood had evaporated and dried up.

Only the primordial spirit remained, holding a bronze mirror, which deflected most of the sword light. It was about to disappear on the sea surface in a few flashes.

"Want to leave? It's too late!"

Bai Zichen raised his hand and pointed, and the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword transformed into electric lightning, catching up with the Shifting Primordial Spirit.

A burst of divine lightning exploded, causing the sea to collapse and the void to tear apart. This cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm was completely killed and his cultivation vanished.

He had only been at Blue Sea Sky for a quarter of an hour, full of ambition and grand plans, when he died because of his own arrogance and domineering attitude.

In just a few rounds, with lightning speed, they took the life of a Void Refinement cultivator, which clearly exceeded the expectations of Fairy Xiao and Zhu Shouzhuo.

Especially Fairy Xiao, who considered herself to be on par with Venerable Kuzhu in strength.

Since he could kill Master Kuzhu in just a few moves, it means he could kill her just as easily.

Thinking of this, Fairy Xiao's fingers trembled involuntarily as she moved closer to Zhu Shouzhou.

I wonder if this mysterious swordsman holds a grudge.

"Just who are you... With such strength, it's impossible for you to be unknown in the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm. You've long been regarded as a potential cultivator for the Fusion Stage and are famous throughout the world."

Zhu Shouzhou abandoned his nonchalant attitude and spoke with a moved expression, his heart surging with emotion.

Both senior brothers were at the Nascent Soul stage, but comparing their performances at the Void Refinement stage, they were definitely inferior to the sword cultivator before them.

Such a person, concealing their identity and cultivation level to come to the Azure Sea Heaven, must be carrying a huge secret.

The monk Kuzhu, ignorant of his own limitations, provoked him and ended up courting death.

'Perhaps the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Nascent Soul cultivators weren't attracted by us, but rather came for this great deity?'

Zhu Shouzhou's heart skipped a beat; everything seemed to fall into place.
