Born with immortal seed

Chapter 914 Meeting
The Heavenly Sword Pavilion sect is not located in the center of the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm, but in the far western mountains.

Legend has it that a divine sword fell from the sky and became the highest peak in the far west, towering and precipitous.

Later, a sword immortal from the Central Immortal Realm traveled here, suddenly comprehended the Dao of Sword, and took in a total of seventy-two disciples, passing on his lineage.

Therefore, Tianjian Mountain came first, and then Tianjian Pavilion.

"The current Tianjianzi has been ranked among the Five Sons of the Human Race for more than 20,000 years. All that is known about him is his superb swordsmanship and unparalleled combat power, but no one has figured out his true style."

He walked through the void, his gaze fixed on the emptiness, the colors monotonous.

If an unusual color appears in your field of vision, it could be either a rare treasure from the void or a combined battle.

Given the vastness of the void, the probability of encountering such an object is close to zero, even if one is traversing the same area.

Bai Zichen's decision to meet Tian Jianzi was well-considered. Besides the direct reason of wanting answers to his questions, he also had a spiritual connection that he would not be in mortal danger by contacting this top human expert.

However, one cannot rely solely on feelings, especially when the Heavenly Emperor is involved as a variable.

Who knows if this intuition was manipulated by a powerful being, or intentionally misled?

"It seems that my strength is comparable to the late stage of the Fusion Realm, but when I encounter certain opponents, I am comparable to the Five Human Princes..."

Even completely killing someone at the Integration Realm is difficult, let alone surpassing them. Firstly, the attainment of the Great Dao largely depends on the accumulation of years, and secondly, once they hide in the Void, it is very difficult for any cultivator, unless they are proficient in the Dao of the Void, to catch up with them.

When Bai Zichen was in the Void Refining stage, his Dao realm was comparable to that of a Body Fitting cultivator. The shortcoming of limited cultivation time was fully compensated by the Dao of Time.

The Primordial Sword, manifested by the Sword Pivot of Myriad Phenomena, aims to return all things to nothingness, to a formless and shapeless state of the universe, even more primordial than chaos.

Affected by this sword, the heavens and earth collapsed, and the void caved in, leaving no chance to escape into the void.

To some extent, his performance against cultivators weaker than himself is even more astonishing than that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

And these were all without using the Time-Traveling Divine Power; they were his trump cards that allowed him to face Tian Jianzi directly.

Taking over the five-colored stone halfway through the journey was just a pretext; the real purpose was to reveal their strength to the outside world.

Given his level and the current situation in the Immortal Realm, simply keeping a low profile and hiding his strength wouldn't be entirely beneficial; it would bring many unnecessary troubles.

Having witnessed it firsthand, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion would no longer regard him as an ordinary fusion.

Otherwise, if we rashly climb the mountain, the first thought of those Heavenly Sword Pavilion elders would probably be to capture us and then pursue the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box.

Only those with strength that even the Heavenly Sword Pavilion finds trouble are qualified to sit down and talk.

"Simply meditating and cultivating is meaningless to me. It will take thousands of years to reach the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. By then, it will be too late..."

If I am truly a pawn planted by the Heavenly Emperor, then He would not allow me such a long time.

The game will inevitably turn, forcing Bai Zichen to move forward along the predetermined path.

Step by step, without even realizing it, they become the vessel for His return.

Even at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm, he had no chance against even a trace of the Heavenly Emperor's will.

The most powerful time-manipulation techniques are like a thunderbolt in front of the true master of this great path; whether they are effective is questionable.

Perhaps only when the fusion is perfected and a foundation for immortality is formed will things be different.

Therefore, we have to find another way.

Find the time that was taken away by the Heavenly Emperor, understand His journey of seeking the Dao before His Mahayana, and grasp the weakness of a true immortal who could not possibly exist.

On the other hand, it involves gathering enough helpers, including truly powerful individuals who can make a difference in this area.

On the day the Heavenly Emperor conquered the Three Realms, he would suppress, seal, or appease powerful beings such as innate gods, ancient beasts, and supreme beings of various races. This shows that even a Mahayana True Immortal would need considerable effort to completely annihilate them.

Having slumbered for so many millennia, during its slow awakening, it would inevitably not possess its full-fledged divine power.

It is likely only slightly better than a fully formed fusion, but not significantly different in quality.

At this point, the amount of assistance provided becomes apparent.

"Besides that, perhaps only an eighth-tier flying sword can significantly boost my combat power..."

Bai Zichen sat for a whole night until the first rays of dawn shone on the mountains before finally arriving at the foot of Tianjian Mountain.

The originally rugged and unadorned mountain peaks, through the persistent construction by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, have been transformed into the number one sword dao holy land in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, nine out of ten sword cultivators who come to Tianjian Mountain for the first time with a pilgrimage mentality will be extremely disappointed.

Aside from its towering height and magnificent scenery, Tianjian Mountain is desolate and dilapidated, with only a few pavilions hidden in the clouds and mist, showing no trace of the scenery of a blessed land.

The sect is rumored to be unparalleled in the Three Realms, but its extremely profound sword formation has not been seen in operation, making it impossible to tell that it is a top sect in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Only those who understand the intricacies know that each of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's predecessors created a unique Sword Tomb Cave Heaven with their natal flying sword before passing away, which was then continuously consolidated and expanded by later generations.

Now there are twenty-five established sword-making groups, each specializing in sword forging, testing, and performing.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion enjoy cultivation efficiency more than doubled in the ancient cave heavens, and the external conditions that are difficult to achieve in the real world can be changed in the cave heavens.

Almost any sword cultivator on any path can find the most suitable grotto-heaven for themselves.

This is the fundamental reason why the Heavenly Sword Pavilion has remained prosperous for so long, producing peerless sword cultivators in every generation.

"Bai Zichen, a junior scholar, has come to pay his respects at the mountain."

The sound was drawn into a straight line, only spreading out in concentric circles once it entered the area of ​​Tianjian Mountain, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

The sound, neither too loud nor too fast, clearly resounded throughout the entire mountain, even echoing in the hidden Sword Tomb Cave.

One after another, caves and grottoes appeared, and powerful auras rose up, causing countless sword shadows to appear in the celestial phenomena.

The simultaneous appearance of multiple combined sword immortals brought a pressure powerful enough to reverse the flow of rivers and overturn mountains.

Each cave contains a sword formation, using the seventh-order flying swords of the ancients as a framework. The power they can unleash is terrifying just to imagine.

Bai Zichen then realized that he had underestimated a top-tier sect like the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, which had such a long history.

Even if Tianjianzi is not here, no matter how many of the five human races of similar strength come to invade, they will not be able to break into the mountain gate.

"Having ascended less than a thousand years ago, he has achieved the Integration Realm, unprecedented in history... I am honored by the presence of young friend Bai, which greatly benefits Hengmao."

Yao Xing's gaze was complex as he stepped out from the crowd, displaying impeccable manners.

After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, how could one's state of mind not be shaken when overtaken by a young junior?

Everyone guessed that it was because the Heavenly Emperor was undergoing a tribulation that it was so miraculous.

However, his body has appeared several times during the past.

Aside from being burdened with indescribable karmic consequences, attracting good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and often experiencing good luck, other aspects, even if exaggerated, would not reach this level.

Only one person successfully cultivated to the point of perfect union, and he did not show any overwhelming dominance over his peers.

The performance of the five human race members was so impressive that their combat power upon entering the combined form was comparable to that of the later stages of the combined form, which was unprecedented.

Setting aside his illusions and calming down to think, Yao Xing had to admit that this boy was exceptionally talented, far surpassing every cultivator in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, including himself.

Even the current Heavenly Sword Master might not be able to surpass him, overturning many common sense facts of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Moreover, this person possesses the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, a treasure of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. Only with this item can the Pavilion Master unleash the full potential of his sword skills.

That kind of performance would put him at a slight advantage over the other five members of the human race.

There is still debate within the Heavenly Sword Pavilion about how to treat them.

The sword curtain opened, and streaks of sword light formed a mountain-climbing staircase, leading all the way to Bai Zichen's feet.

He smiled calmly, climbed the steps, completely unconcerned that Tianjian Mountain could activate its sword formation at any moment.

"The Pavilion Master is at the top of the mountain. Please follow me."

Yao Xing reached out and guided two green leaves to their feet, lifting them up and sending them flying straight into the sky.

As it ascended, several terrifying killing intents swept past, cold and merciless.

It possesses the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it lacks the agility of a cultivator's divine sense; it must be an internal restriction imposed by the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

However, after scanning the green leaves, he immediately stepped back, clearly indicating that he had extremely high privileges.

"I, Bai, have met you, senior."

It took Bai Zichen a full quarter of an hour to reach the mountaintop platform. There was a cultivator with his back to him, staring blankly at the crisscrossing lines on the ground.

These lines seem to form a huge chessboard, rough as if drawn with the tip of a sword, without any embellishment.

Yet, strangely, it evoked a sense of being surrounded by galaxies. A mountain breeze blew by, and I felt as if I were at the center of the universe, as insignificant as a grain of sand.

Meanwhile, the cultivator on the chessboard, with his imposing figure, continued to grow taller, almost obscuring the sun above his head.

To achieve this level of respect upon first meeting, besides Tian Jianzi, there couldn't possibly be another person on the mountain.

“You are very bold to come to my door on your own initiative... Do you think I won’t kill you, or do you think you can come and go freely on the mountain because of your supernatural powers?”

Tian Jianzi turned around, his aura calm, but his gaze was like a sharp sword light, piercing straight to the heart.

"I believe I am on the same side as you, so why would you attack me... Besides, you are only a sword shadow clone here. Is it enough to stop a sword cultivator who can step into the River of Time at any time?"

In Bai Zichen's eyes, although his opponent was as majestic as a god and controlled the entire chessboard, he exuded an empty feeling.

The person they sensed was indeed powerful enough, but he was far from living up to the reputation of being the number one swordsman in the Earthly Immortal Realm. He was like a huge empty shell that could be pushed over at any moment.

However, the long sword at his waist had a very strong presence, lying across the starry river, and could not be ignored at all.

A seventh-tier flying sword on par with the Purple Star Thunder Sword!

The title of First Sword Immortal was earned through swordplay, not automatically inherited.

It is generally acknowledged that the achievements of countless sword cultivators are built upon countless victories in sword duels.

Especially after Jianzi advanced from the late stage of the Fusion Realm to the perfect stage that day, there was not a single controversy.

There is only one possibility for this situation to occur: the Heavenly Sword Master in front of us is not the real person, but merely a sword shadow created by supernatural powers.

"Side by my side? The Heavenly Sword Pavilion has never received an imperial edict from the Dao Court, nor has it ever received any celestial stipends..."

Tian Jianzi suddenly smiled, took the long sword from his waist and placed it in front of him, then casually sat down on a rock.

That's all. An insurmountable wall was erected in the Milky Way, blocking the two of them.

From Bai Zichen's perspective, it was no different from an ant looking up at a towering god.

"Even a being that has undergone tribulations should have independent thought; is it destined to remain unchanged forever?"

Bai Zichen smiled, but his eyes flashed with cold light. His words made Yao Xing, who was in the distance, take several steps back, wishing he could shut down his senses and not dare to listen any further.
