Born with immortal seed

Chapter 906 Arriving a Step Too Late

The little purple sword spirit was quite active, seemingly knowing that it had come to rescue its former master. It unleashed the full power of its seventh-tier flying sword, carving out a wide path.

The mind here is a jumble of conflicting thoughts, filled with venomous roars and rampaging chaos.

The illusory figures of powerful figures from various races, along with the remaining lightning, all dissipated under the sword light.

The Execution Platform, shrouded in layers of sorrowful clouds, reveals its true face, hidden for so many millennia, with hideous marks covering the high platform.

What kind of attack could leave an indelible mark?

The Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot operates, mimicking the imagery of the Immortal Execution Platform, and one's body naturally merges into this world.

The mention of the Dao's Extinction True Meaning caused the void to collapse and time to shrink, its intent of ending the world even stronger than that of the Execution Platform, bringing the end of the world ever closer.

Until the three Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives rose to the surface, their terrifying killing intent dispelled the symbol of annihilation and began to turn back to what it had been before.

"It's now!"

Bai Zichen smiled slightly, and the Burning Night Lamp and the Shifting Jade Sundial appeared in the world, with strange phenomena of immortal foundation flowing around.

The long, dark lamp hovered overhead, its eerie light covering the entire body, preventing even the most vicious obsessions and malevolent energies from getting close, allowing one to act with peace of mind.

The magnificent jade sundial hung at her waist, ticking away as time stood still, its hands sliding wildly, tearing open a deep passage.

Using the Purple Star Thunder Sword as a trigger, it reached out into the unknown distance, with the shadows of giant objects rushing past on both sides.

After traversing countless years, relying on Xiao Zi's perception of her former master's aura, she finally saw a dashing figure.

The middle-aged Taoist priest, with disheveled hair, was unrestrained and carefree.

At a glance, he recognized him as the Heartless Sword Immortal, the same person he had seen in the immortal mountain overseas in the mortal realm.

“Senior, I have come to guide you back home after receiving the Azure Emperor’s Longevity Sword.”

Bai Zichen calmed down the overly excited Ziwei Xuanlei Sword and began to communicate with this sword immortal who had played a significant role in his cultivation career.

From guardian divine weapons and supreme supernatural powers to body-refining holy methods, the essence and blood of sacred beasts, and even the foundational holy treasures, the legacy left behind by Wuxin encompasses almost everything.

However, there are too many illogical points in the middle, and it is strange in every way, so we must be vigilant.

Now, he basically understood what the Heartless Sword Immortal was thinking.

He deliberately sought death on the Execution Platform, using the properties of this supreme treasure to keep a wisp of his lingering spirit.

Then, the Time-Holder will follow the river of time to retrieve that trace, allowing the Heartless Sword Immortal to reunite his soul.

The idea was extremely audacious, completely disregarding the possibility that the marks left by the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife might have been erased before the arrival of future generations, or that the rescuers lacked the supernatural power to cross such a vast distance.

And yet, he happened to meet Bai Zichen, and the Flame Night Lamp fixed itself in place, so it didn't have to worry about getting lost in the river of time.

Using the Jade Sundial as a starting point, it was originally intended to strike back eight hundred years. Under the special environment of the Execution Platform and the advance arrangements made by the Heartless Sword Immortal, it accurately found its target.

However, as long as Bai Zichen rotates his immortal foundation, he can interrupt this process at any time.

"Slay me! You must slay me..."

Wu Xin's words were earth-shattering. He raised his head, and his once impressive, bright eyes lost their luster and fighting spirit.

Staring straight into the distance, weary, numb, and filled with deep regret.

"Senior, you..."

Bai Zichen was greatly surprised. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Wuxin begin to crack from head to toe, scattering into thousands of light fragments.

He didn't even have a chance to retrieve it; it simply scattered into the river of time, and the last trace disappeared.

"He's completely dead. Was I too late? Did the remnant spirit of the Heartless Sword Immortal not hold on? But judging from his delirious ramblings, there seems to be more to it than meets the eye. Did he discover something strange after his death, calling for someone else to kill him, and giving up any hope of resurrection..."

The mark disappeared just as he arrived; what a coincidence!

It's more like he gave up long ago, and his illusory image remains until now only to say this to the descendants who came to save him.

It was a plea, but also a warning.

"But in this way, we can only return empty-handed... The mysteries have not been solved, and new fog has been added. Do we really have to visit Tian Jianzi to find out some of the inside story from back then?"

If you want to understand this more deeply, the top powers in the Immortal Realm are the most likely to know the answer.

Needless to say, the Dao Court and the Heavenly Palace have too close a relationship with the Heavenly Emperor. If they take the initiative to come to the Heavenly Palace, they will only be walking into the tiger's den.

The Underworld is too mysterious, and those without affinity with the Saha Buddhist Land cannot find the entrance. The Five Emperors City's loose cultivator alliance has the shallowest foundation.

Five hundred thousand years ago, the Seven Mountains Sect was unparalleled in its glory, and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was the sect from which the Heartless Sword Immortal originated. These were the few remaining options. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Child was ranked among the Five Sons of the Human Race, so he could know some of the oldest secrets.

However, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's inherited treasure has become a Dao Foundation Saint Treasure in his hands. No matter how extraordinary a newly promoted Integration Realm cultivator may be, it's hard to say whether he has the face to make Heavenly Sword Master put aside his grudges and have a detailed discussion.

There was no need to be in such a hurry. One could have found a secluded place to leisurely hone one's cultivation and refine one's vital energy.

Given his age and the unique nature of his physical body, time is entirely on his side.

Tens of thousands of years later, with a perfected cultivation level and supernatural abilities at their peak, how many people in the Earthly Immortal Realm can still fight against them?

But recent changes in the political situation have made Bai Zichen uneasy, as he feels that some great disaster is about to happen.

Whether it's being recognized as the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation undergoing tribulation, the strange changes in the Heavenly Abyss, or even the appearance of the noble Dragon Demon Emperor, the remnant spirit of the Heartless Sword Immortal, burdened with a secret, abandons the chance to be reborn that he had earned by fighting for life...

Compared to the above, undercurrents are surging in the Earthly Immortal Realm. For example, the killing of various true disciples in the territory of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, the intervention of the Purple Armor Commander and the Four Heavenly Masters of the Dao Court and Heavenly Palace, and the rebellion of some sects in the Immortal Realm and their attacks on the Dao Court's subordinate temples are all considered minor events.

All of these factors combined suggest an impending storm.

Dramatic changes are coming in the short term, affecting everyone in the Immortal Realm to a degree that cannot be avoided.

Simply running away will only cause you to miss the initiative; it's better to take the initiative and face the challenge head-on, and you might find a way to break the deadlock.

"who!"

Just as he was about to retract the Purple Star Thunder Sword, he saw a dark shadow moving and shouted loudly.

In this unique space that does not exist in the present and is detached from the past, he has the upper hand and can advance or retreat at will.

We are not afraid of even the five great beings of the human race, let alone the lingering remnant of a dead powerhouse.

No matter how bizarre or miraculous it may seem, it only applies to ordinary cultivators.

"Young friend, do not make a move. I am Wu Kuangtu, and I can bestow upon you a great fortune!"

The shadowy figure shrank to human form when illuminated by the lightning, its entire body turning crimson, and its body seemed to be brimming with boundless energy, ready to explode at any moment.

"A mere remnant soul dares to play tricks!"

Bai Zichen didn't take it seriously. The lightning arcs didn't diminish, leaping across every dimension, existing in the past, future, and present.

Forget about any special opportunities or good fortune; it's one thing to bewitch others, but to actually move him is a pipe dream.

Aside from seventh-tier flying swords, very few things could truly move him.

In terms of cultivation techniques, the Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot has reached its peak, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and will manifest in the next hundred thousand years.

There is no way that supernatural powers and spells can surpass one's own immortal foundation and the great Dao supernatural powers; there is no need to seek something far away from what is near.

Very few magical artifacts can enhance one's power; almost all of them are at the level of the most treasured artifacts of several top-tier forces. How could a mere wisp of remnant spirit possibly be qualified to arrange such an effect?

"Are you crazy, kid! Haven't you heard of my name? The Dao Court's blockade has gone to this extent!"

The crimson remnant howled, and its body, touched by the lightning arc, noticeably paled slightly, terrifying it to the point of regret.

The opponent wasn't playing hard to get; they showed no mercy in their attack, aiming to shatter any remaining hope.

Even more shockingly, after lingering on the Execution Platform for hundreds of thousands of years, a single slash of the newcomer's sword light damaged a significant portion of its essence.

If he were to receive a few more sword strikes, he might not be able to maintain his remaining will and would head towards complete demise.

I really don't know what this person's background is, but his cultivation level at the early stage of the Integration Realm is so amazing that he can still hurt him across countless layers of time.

If I had known better, I shouldn't have acted on a whim, seeing a living person after countless lonely years and having a fleeting thought of escaping my predicament.

"I cultivate the Great Dao of the Sun, and I can impart to you the supreme immortal techniques, making you invincible in the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

"I have hidden a hundred treasure troves, each containing enough resources for one person to cultivate to the Integration Stage, enough to create a top-tier power!"

"There are two more clues to the Heavenly Treasures, but no one in the world can find them!"

Wu Kuangtu spoke rapidly, black flames rising from his body, burning silently as he struggled to resist the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword, which could manipulate the true meaning of time.

The black flames don't show their terror in this special space, but in the outside world they would have already melted the sky and burned the earth, as if the golden crow had descended to earth.

"I know the secret behind the Heavenly Emperor's disappearance: it holds the key to eternal life!"

The lightning slowed down, forming a dense net before stopping, dispersing the surrounding gloom in this space where wind and rain should not have occurred.

Further into the darkness, blurry black shadows appeared, resembling both mountains and living creatures.

"When did you die on the Execution Platform, and how did you learn the Heavenly Emperor's secrets?"

Bai Zichen searched through his memories and confirmed that there was no such powerful person.

Judging from his tone, anyone below the five sons of the human race is to be underestimated.

"Is it truly possible that there are no stories of old age in this world, and not even a name has been passed down? Ten suns shone on the same day, leaving behind ten lineages, how come none of them have survived to the present day..."

Wu Kuangtu was stunned. No matter how much the Dao Court tried to suppress it, there would always be snippets of information leaking out.

At that time, there was no such thing as the Five Sons of Humanity. Faced with the powerful approach of the demon and monster races, the human race was led by the Yin-Yang Elders to resist.

They are respectively a martial arts fanatic who walks the path of the sun, who kills the ancient golden crow, transforms himself into the sun, and whose fiery might replaces the heavens.

Ling Su, who walks the Great Yin Path, teaches the eight hundred water veins, commands the three thousand River Gods, and resides in the Guanghan Palace.

Both of them have the record of defeating the Demon Ancestor and killing the Primordial Star Beast. Judging from these deeds, at least 90% of the five sons of the human race could not do it.

"In what year were you born? Have any of the great primordial deities been subdued?"

Such a figure could not possibly be unrecorded. Being able to defeat a demon ancestor is almost invincible among his peers. Even the demon ancestor with the shallowest accumulation of power would surpass the level of a perfect fusion cultivator.

After listening to the other party's statement, Bai Zichen realized that if this person had not fabricated an identity, then there was only one possibility left.

"I and Ling Su were contemporaries of the Heavenly Emperor, but we were ten thousand years earlier than him when we attained the Dao... Later, he achieved Mahayana and established the Dao Court. He could not tolerate the two of us, so we were both captured and brought to the Execution Platform."

Wu Kuangtu's eyes showed reminiscence as he spoke solemnly.

"The Great Sun Gods and others died after me. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife jumps out every now and then, returning stained with different divine blood."

"Release your protective gear and enter my box."

Hearing this, Bai Zichen was already seven or eight parts convinced, perhaps he had found a better person to answer his questions.
