Born with immortal seed

Chapter 889 The Three Emperors' Unified Crown (Supplement 6.1)

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The bottom of the dark pool was extremely quiet, but gradually, muffled thunder began to rumble.

It seemed to come from the distant horizon, approaching step by step, while a point of light appeared.

First there was a point of light, but upon closer inspection, it turned out there were actually two intersecting halos.

However, one of the spots was so dim that it almost disappeared into the darkness, merging with the Hidden Dragon Pool.

After an unknown amount of time, a great light shone forth, and the halo expanded like lightning, revealing two Taoist priests.

With a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy, the two Taoists simultaneously advanced to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

There were no surprises; everything seemed perfectly calm and uneventful.

Quite coincidentally, they broke through and finished their practice at the same time. Not only did their spiritual energy vortexes not interfere with each other, but they also advanced in an unusually harmonious alternation.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. You have saved me decades of arduous cultivation."

The young man in purple exuded a chilling aura, and his intense killing intent poured out, startling the koi carp into splashing around wildly and disappearing without a trace.

"Mutual support is our duty... I wonder how well you are cultivating, the blood essence of a sacred beast is not so easy to obtain."

The middle-aged man in the green robe looked worried. The matter involved the true spirit, which was beyond his shallow cultivation to fathom.

Let alone reaching the Nascent Soul stage, even if one were to attempt to calculate something at the Void Refinement stage, it would still be a state of utter chaos.

Originally, I planned to wait until I had reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage and everything was ready before I could begin refining the essence blood of the sacred beast. However, a secret report came from the front lines that there seemed to be some unusual activity on Four Views Island.

It is highly likely that Shao Yang, who had been in seclusion for a long time, emerged with greatly improved strength, which gave his subordinates confidence.

This means that Bai Zichen doesn't have much time left, and if he continues to cultivate step by step, he won't be able to hold out until the day he can face Shao Yang head-on.

Only by sparing no effort to open the crystal in advance and use the essence blood of the sacred beast to make the Great Dao Divine Power leap forward can the fusion be balanced.

He would choose to temporarily avoid confrontation with any other path, even if he possessed the heaven-defying strength to fight beyond his level.

Even if a Void Refiner could defeat a Body Integration Realm cultivator, the price they would pay would be unimaginable, so terrible as to be unacceptable.

Even if you give up everything, it's better than having your path cut off, leaving only the reputation of a rebellious union as gossip, and then just waiting to die in the sky.

However, the Great Dao of Time is different. Unless one has fully refined the Heavenly Treasure or possessed an equivalent divine power, even combining one's powers would be extremely difficult.

In addition to the characteristics of the River of Time, unless one is also a cultivator of the Great Dao of Time, even a powerful being at the Integration Stage cannot pull someone out of the River of Time, making it a kind of unique invincibility.

"According to my calculations, abandoning Rotten Axe Mountain and cultivating in seclusion in the Five Blessed Immortal Realm for a thousand years is the safest path... I possess the clearest and most certain future in the entire Immortal Realm and am least afraid of competing in the future. I don't know why I'm in such a hurry, as if a great terror is chasing after me."

The middle-aged man in the green robe said slowly and deliberately, and from the surface, it didn't seem like a wise decision at all.

Bai Zichen is not within the calculations; his fate transcends the Five Elements, and no one can predict his whereabouts.

With Qingxiao Jing incarnate, abandoning Rotten Axe Mountain and finding another blessed land with more effort is always achievable.

At this age, there's absolutely no need to be in such a hurry or take such risks; time is entirely on our side.

Of course, once the main body makes a decision, no matter what the avatars think, they can't change it.

"Retreating again and again, my sharpness has been worn down. How can I possibly break through to the Fusion stage? I should use Shao Yang as a whetstone to temper my supernatural abilities and nurture my murderous aura."

The young man in purple had a completely different viewpoint, not based on the big picture or personal gain or loss, but purely on his individual temperament.

"With my natural talent, breaking through to the Fusion stage is no challenge at all; why bother with all this..."

The middle-aged man in the green robe sighed. There might be some inside information that he couldn't see clearly at his level, so he could only trust the real person.

The extraordinary light emanating from the two gradually faded, returning them to darkness as they began to familiarize themselves with the changes brought about by their recent advancement.

In the entire Hidden Dragon Pool, only the skeletal platform at the deepest part remains, where the terrifying dragon's might continues to accumulate.

The demon god, who had been sitting in meditation for a long time, seemed to be resurrected at the bottom of the pool, with the dragon shadow stretching outwards infinitely.

Bai Zichen's true form had long since entered the cave heaven; even the aura of the sacred beast he exuded was enough to change the very fabric of the world.

The dragon-transformed parts of those koi carp grew rapidly, and soon they were more appropriately worthy of being called dragon koi.

The jade rabbit, which was shouting and instructing the cultivators on catching insects and watering the plants in a medicinal garden somewhere on Rotten Ke Mountain, suddenly knelt down with a thud, its body trembling violently like a sieve.

"A demon god? Has a demon god descended upon this place?"

The jade rabbit's face turned pale. Although it was a demon, it knew very well which side it was on.

Only by following its master can a demon like it have the opportunity to climb higher and enjoy treatment far exceeding what its original bloodline should have.

If a demon god were to destroy everything that exists and bring it back to the Heavenly Demon Realm, things would only get worse, not better.

"No, it's the Holy Ancestor... This is the aura of the Holy Ancestor!"

Even though the Jade Rabbit had never been to the Heavenly Demon Realm, nor had it ever paid homage to the True Spirit in the Demon Emperor's Palace, the awe ingrained in its bones and deep in its blood was immediately awakened.

This absolute worship from the depths of the soul surpasses mere awe of power; it allows one to appreciate the subtle differences within.

As its natal spirit beast, the Jade Rabbit was well aware that there was an object related to the Holy Ancestor sealed in the Shaohua Cave Heaven, and no one could approach it.

At this moment, it only hopes that everything is under its master's control and that no complications arise.

……

"Still haven't found Ye Huan's belongings?"

With the sun shining above his head and starlight around him, Shao Yang sat on a golden chair, appearing extremely imposing.

He wore a crown on his head, with strings of jade tassels hanging down; there were eleven tassels in total.

"The Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword has not returned. We searched the vicinity of the cave for several years with the Soul-Chasing Bell and the Soul Lamp, but there was not a trace of it."

The disciples below lay prostrate on the ground, fearing that their answers would anger the island lord.

It is common knowledge that Ye Huan was chosen to participate in the Dan Cliff Cave Heaven competition, and that regardless of the outcome, he would emerge as a cold corpse.

However, the Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword was crafted by Shao Yang, and was sufficient to carry Ye Huan's belongings back to Siwang Island after flying out of Danya Cave.

Even if an accident occurs, the Soul-Chasing Bell and Soul Lamp, which are connected by essence, blood, hair, and divine sense, should not remain unresponsive.

Unless Ye Huan had already died in Dan Cliff Cave Heaven, and died with his soul completely destroyed, and even the Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword couldn't escape.

After using the secret technique, the disciples of Siwang Island knew all too well what level Ye Huan's strength had reached.

Already a top performer among those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his combat strength rivals that of those newly entering the Void Refinement stage.

You can eliminate all the correct answers, and the one that seems the most unbelievable is the only answer.

Ye Huan was completely killed by someone with overwhelming strength in Dan Cliff Cave Heaven, which is why he ended up like this.

"Useless trash, get out of here!"

Shao Yang waved his hand dismissively, as if brushing away mosquitoes and flies, not wanting to listen to the endless ramblings.

Based on the information gathered so far, the average strength of Dan Cliff Cave Heaven has increased significantly this time, especially with the arrival of direct disciples from several top forces in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The local forces of Wulonghai suffered heavy losses, and the most precious Soul-Slaying Mushroom disappeared without a trace, presumably taken by those foreign cultivators.

"How hateful! They even want to covet the spiritual resources in the Five Dragon Seas. Their greed is truly appalling..."

Other exotic flowers and herbs are one thing, but the Soul-Slaying Mushroom is of great use to Shao Yang.

To master the great divine power of the Three Sovereigns' Harmonious Crown, he devoted more than a thousand years of time to it, and the fact that he could not achieve perfection for so long almost became a mental demon.

Having finally achieved a breakthrough recently, the twelve jade tassels are just one strand short. All that's needed is a single innate spiritual root to replenish the missing trace of pure and primordial spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the long-cherished wish will be fulfilled.

It had already been planned that Ye Huan, a disciple under his name, would acquire it.

In the event of failure, they would rather give up top-tier rare and precious materials that they had prepared in advance to exchange for them from other cultivators.

As a result, the Soul-Slaying Mushroom was taken away by the disciples of those top forces, who wouldn't give him the face of a Five Dragons Sea Fusion.

"Lu Zhengyang of Rotten Axe Mountain is a mysterious figure. He was able to defeat the elder of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion back then. Even if he hasn't improved in the past few thousand years due to healing, he is still not to be underestimated... Without the Three Emperors' Crown of Virtue, it's really hard to say who will win or lose."

Shao Yang underestimated his opponent and did not believe that having cultivated for tens of thousands of years meant he would necessarily have an advantage in strength.

In fact, if it weren't for the Three Emperors' Union Crown giving him enough confidence, he wouldn't have had the courage to continue competing with Lü Zhengyang.

The fact that he was able to kill an elder of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in a life-or-death struggle so soon after his ascension is incredibly impressive. Given time, he could even become a great figure at the level of one of the Five Sons of Humanity.

Such a prodigy is not the same as those who, after their advancement, never make any further progress.

However, the Three Sovereigns' Combined Virtue Crown is the most domineering, a renowned supreme divine power in the Earthly Immortal Realm. To oppose it would make one a public enemy and be hated by the world.

At the same time, all of his supernatural abilities are accompanied by the power of the Five Virtues. With one increasing and one decreasing, it is enough to create a small gap in realms. He is not afraid of opponents in the early stage of the Fusion Realm or those in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm.

This supreme divine power is extremely difficult to cultivate. After mastering it, one must start cultivating it again every time it is used, which is why there are very few people in the Earthly Immortal Realm who have truly mastered it.

It was by chance that Shao Yang, through the gains from several fortuitous encounters before attaining enlightenment, embarked on the right path of cultivating the Three Sovereigns' Union Crown, and thus became increasingly entangled in it.

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. If we try to make peace with Lü Zhengyang now, he won't believe us, and the other families in the Five Dragons Sea won't agree either... The only way is to go all the way and prove our strength so that our ancestral legacy can be passed down for generations."

Shao Yang blinked slightly, as if she had made a decision, her pupils turning a dark yellow color, devoid of black and white.

"Repairing another tassel will take too long. I'll just infuse it with my own essence. At most, it will take ten years to complete all twelve tassels!"

He let out a long breath, and Xuanhuang's eyes were devoid of any emotion, only a cold calm remained, almost freezing over.

The essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator is the most crucial element; once used, it diminishes and can hardly be replenished.

Exceeding a certain limit means that there is no possibility of further improvement in cultivation, and one is destined to remain at the early stage of the Integration Realm for life.

Even if one is reincarnated and reborn, if one's original essence is depleted, one is prone to becoming trapped in the mystery of the womb and never waking up again, thus having fewer opportunities for reincarnation than others.

Shao Yang was also determined, knowing that he couldn't find a second innate spiritual root in a short time.

If he dragged it out too long, he wouldn't dare to compete with Lü Zhengyang in cultivation speed, as Lü Zhengyang was a figure who could cultivate to the peak of the Void Refinement Realm even in the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Perhaps a hundred years later, when they emerge from seclusion, they will already be in the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. In that case, there will be no need for a fight; they can simply resign and admit defeat.
