Born with immortal seed

Chapter 876 The Ever-Emerging Forms of the Luminous Void

'Even with a seventh-tier spiritual land and two sword bones, it would still take over eight hundred years to progress from the late stage of Void Refinement to the peak of Void Refinement. Even with the change in the speed of time's passage every sixty years in the Radiant Spring Grotto, it would still take four or five hundred years…'

During the years that Bai Zichen was in seclusion at Lankeshan, in addition to cultivating the Azure Sky Incarnation and remotely controlling his subordinates to intervene in the Five Dragons Sea, he also did not neglect the cultivation of his physical body.

He knew very well what the foundation of one's life truly was.

He advanced to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm two years earlier than he completed the cultivation of his external avatar.

This amount of cultivation time is enough for any cultivator in the world to match, yet he still feels it's not enough.

The situation in the Five Dragons Sea, with the possibility of Heavenly Sword Pavilion elders or even the Dao Court pursuing them, presents a formidable challenge.

By stirring up trouble in the name of Lü Zhengyang, at least the enemy within the Six Blessings Immortal Realm will be dealt with, and the attention from outside the realm will not be drawn here.

Since entering the world of cultivation, what he has lacked most is time.

Apart from the days when I was invincible in the human realm, I never really had a moment of leisure to properly enjoy the carefree time spent indulging in nature.

"My lord, True Dragon Island is near..."

Fire Lotus Child spoke in a low, cautious voice.

Bai Zichen remained silent, gazing at the island, which was even larger than Rotten Axe Mountain. Its endless coastline made it seem like a mainland.

The island is surrounded by mountains, and at high tide, the seawater floods the shallows, forming patches of inland sea.

Compared to those unknown opponents, he was quite confident in persuading this dragon.

What the island lord of Siwang Island could offer was on a completely different level from the conditions he provided.

The fact that Qingxiao Jing came in disguise to meet with him further increases the credibility of the meeting.

If the real body comes to the door, I'm really afraid that the old dragon will see through my disguise and arouse some evil thoughts I shouldn't have.

"Lu Zhengyang from Rotten Axe Mountain has come to pay his respects to fellow Daoist."

Bai Zichen, dressed in green, stood up and stepped out of the crimson light, his expression leisurely as he strolled with his hands behind his back.

Despite his shallow cultivation, standing next to the Fire Lotus Child, who had reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, no one would mistake his position for someone else.

'My cultivation level is too low to calculate the old mudfish's location... Once I reach the Void Refinement stage, perhaps I can consider transferring the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes to this body.'

The Primordial Three Realms Incarnation Technique allows for the conversion of techniques and supernatural abilities between the original body and the incarnation, inheriting the past without loss.

This is extremely beneficial for cultivating those time-consuming and laborious supernatural abilities, allowing the external avatar to cultivate first and then return to the main body after achieving some success, thus saving time.

Bai Zichen, however, wanted to do the opposite: transfer the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes to Qingxiao Jing's avatar, so that this avatar's ability to deduce and calculate would be greatly enhanced.

"It is my fault for not welcoming distinguished guests from afar."

Powerful demonic energy, mostly dragons, was already rising from Zhenchi Island. Before a decision could be reached, a deep voice came from the island, echoing throughout the void.

The sky was clear and cloudless for miles around, and the sea was calm, as if to welcome the boy who had suddenly appeared.

Every single one of the demons fell to the ground, trembling as they revealed their true forms.

"I apologize for disturbing your peace, fellow Daoist. I arrived in a hurry and only brought a few longevity peaches as a gift..."

Bai Zichen was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised that the Chilong, who was ranked among the top in the entire Six Blessings Immortal Realm, would have such a fair-skinned young man.

Her eyebrows were high and arched, her eyes were like phoenix eyes, her lips were extremely thin, and her figure was delicate and boneless.

"Young friend Lü's casual gift is not something to be taken lightly... Please come aboard the island and share some celestial nectar."

The young man in white caught the wooden box that flew down from the sky. Inside were three delicate, juicy peaches. He looked at them meaningfully for a few moments before waving his sleeve to greet the person.

With a muffled clap of thunder, a magnificent golden dragon palace appeared, with golden steps leading up to Bai Zichen.

"It's what you wish for."

Bai Zichen laughed heartily and stepped onto the golden steps, completely ignoring the fact that any of the powerful demons on the island could easily crush him.

……

"I haven't seen such exquisite longevity peaches for many years. Even if they can't compare to the Five Virtues Immortal Peach, they are still a bit more wondrous."

The white-robed youth exuded no demonic aura. He picked up a peach with two slender, green fingers and gently sniffed it.

"In the past few years, I have traveled to the outer heavens and seen few rare and precious materials. These longevity peaches are barely acceptable... but compared with the Five Virtues Immortal Peach, they are laughable. Fellow Daoist, you may bestow them upon the junior as a protective item."

These longevity peaches are the culmination of Bai Taotao's divine powers, capable of replenishing deficient lifespan.

The Earthly Immortal Realm is rich in vital energy, and cultivators can generally live to the limit of their own cultivation level.

However, the function of longevity peaches has not diminished; on the contrary, their application has become more widespread.

Because there are countless supernatural powers and secret techniques in the Immortal Realm that come at the cost of burning one's lifespan, although the Longevity Peach cannot increase the upper limit of lifespan, it may be able to make up for the lifespan that has been lost.

Based on this alone, its uses are considerable.

As Bai Zichen, who wields the Great Dao of Time, rare treasures like the original Five Virtues Peach are of no use to him.

The young man in white seemed to place too much importance on the longevity peach, and his gaze held a hint of something indescribable.

"I appreciate your kindness, young friend. This is the Frost Essence Jade Marrow from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. It has been brewed 135 times and has been infused with over a thousand kinds of spiritual fruits and spices. Every thousand years of fermentation will make the flavor even richer... The moment you drink it, you don't need to resist with your true essence. It's a unique feeling to let it freeze your dantian."

The young man in white raised the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Fine wine! Excellent touch!"

As the liquor flowed down his throat, a chill instantly spread throughout his body, and ice crystals condensed on Bai Zichen's skin, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The next moment, another warm current emanated from the wine, melting the ice.

The alternation of hot and cold energies stimulated the true essence within his body, causing him to unexpectedly reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even though Qingxiao Jing's incarnation is special and cannot be viewed by ordinary standards, and his advancement is much easier than that of ordinary cultivators, it is still not simple.

If the spiritual ingredients contained in this immortal wine were used to refine elixirs, it is estimated that hundreds or thousands of Nascent Soul cultivators could advance to higher levels.

This wine wasn't intended to improve cultivation; it was purely for satisfying the appetites of high-level cultivators.

The two talked about the past and present, and every casual remark was about some anecdote or secret of a celestial realm that could cause a great uproar.

Usually, the young man in white does most of the talking, while Bai Zichen acts as an audience member.

They talked for half an hour without getting back to the main topic, discussing the distribution of interests among the Five Dragons and whether they would be enemies or friends in the future.

Fire Lotus Child sat anxiously at the lower end, wondering when his master would bring up the topic of cooperation between True Dragon Island and Four Views Island.

But progress was undoubtedly disappointing to him, and the matter was not mentioned until he got up to leave.

It seems that this visit was truly just to pay a visit to a neighbor.

"By the way, when I was healing my injuries earlier, I encountered a seal where the aura of a demon race was leaking out... I wonder if you can recognize which senior of your noble family it was?"

Bai Zichen drew out a bamboo staff, placed his fingers on it, and a familiar demonic aura emanated from it.

"The aura of the Holy Ancestor..."

The young man in white suddenly looked up, and in that instant, it seemed as if a multi-headed dragon rose from behind him.

Some of the dragon heads were eager to try, while others cowered and retreated.

"There are too many voices and too much noise in the Five Dragons Sea. I think it would be better to remove two of them to suit the current situation."

He showed no surprise, remaining calm and composed as he slowly began to speak.

“Good… Wulonghai needs seniors to come out of seclusion to set things right and restore a stable environment for all parties.”

Bai Zichen smiled faintly, not at all surprised by the transformation of the Chilong.

Given their status as descendants of the True Spirit, how could they not be eagerly awaiting any clues related to the True Spirit?

With just a wisp of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast's aura, there's no worry that the opponent won't take the bait.

Fire Lotus Boy stared intently as his master and the number one demon of the Five Dragons Sea joined hands and chatted happily.

In just a few words, the future territorial division of Wulonghai was determined.

For example, Siwang Island was casually erased, and this force was not even mentioned in the future plans for the Five Dragons Sea mentioned by the two.

His thighs were still trembling. Just a moment ago, the gentle and refined young man in white seemed to have transformed into the most terrifying ancient beast, giving him the feeling of an ant trying to shake a tree.

……

Zhongji Immortal Realm, Zhongtian Immortal City, the number one city in the Three Realms.

Even though living here costs ten times more immortal crystals than in other immortal cities, it still can't stop cultivators from coming from all over the world.

Countless people spend their entire lives, even generations, just to become a true citizen of Zhongtian Immortal City and live in the true Nine Heavens.

Many more fail, becoming mere scraps in the torrent, scattered among the bones of the heavens.

Even a Core Formation cultivator would proudly raise his chest when mentioning Zhongtian Immortal City in front of outsiders, even if he didn't know where his cave spirit stones and immortal rice rations would be for the next month.

Crossing countless markets and passing through numerous celestial palaces, the spiritual energy grew increasingly pure and clear, condensing into various tangible products.

The rising and falling clouds, the cranes and deer swimming together, are all manifestations of spiritual energy.

"What is that fake Gou Chen from the Heavenly Palace doing in the Five Cold Immortal Realms? Those sects there have always been two-faced, could it be that they want to contact and win them over?"

Inside the Palace of Wonderful Words, the Celestial Venerable Qinghua held a jade book, on which several large characters were constantly changing, with the latest information rolling to the top every moment.

As one of the Six Emperors of the Daoist Court, he wields power that can determine the fate of countless lives, and the rise and fall of a world and a race.

The Celestial Venerable Ziwei is so engrossed in the Great Dao of Destiny that he cannot extricate himself.
Houtu Tianzun has reincarnated several times, but her original source has dimmed, and she has placed all her hopes on this life.

As for the Heavenly Venerable Gouchen of the Dao Court, he guards the Heavenly Abyss to prevent top experts from alien races from forcibly entering the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In the vast Nine Heavens, the Celestial Venerable Qinghua had no one to consult with, and he ruled the world unilaterally.

Among the vast amount of official business, matters related to Tianyuan and Tiangong have always been given top priority and are always pushed to the forefront immediately.

Now, another item has been added.

"The Divine Firmament Palace of the Two Elements Immortal Realm has found a disciple with naturally heterochromatic eyes. Prolonged gazes can accelerate the growth of spiritual plants... He is in the Secret Realm of Time and can be exempt from the passage of time. Is he possibly a manifestation of the Radiant Path?"

Qinghua Tianzun forcefully wrote down the vermilion annotations, the bright red golden tadpole script appearing blood-red and extremely impactful.

Seeking out rumors and peeping at the throne, the Lord of Shenxiao Palace is to be punished with a thousand years of hardship. The person in charge is to be immediately escorted to Tianyuan to perform hard labor.

As for that disciple, although he was not a pure yin body, he was still a rare find, and was sent to the Ninth Heaven to be trained by a specialist.

Shenxiao Palace ranks in the middle among the more than 100 branches of the Daoist temple, and was once directly under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

Many disciples in the palace still cherish the glorious days when the Celestial Venerable was alive, and are most eager to find the body of the Guangyin Dao and the next Celestial Venerable of Immortality.

Since the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm reported the ascension of a being suspected to be a being of the Guangyin body, similar reports have become increasingly common.

The Daoist court's attitude has remained consistent and has never changed.

"The Daoist court does not need the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, not now, and not in the future."
