Born with immortal seed

Chapter 917 Time Has Passed (Supplement 9.1)

At the highest point of the Nine Heavens, the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree, the Extraterrestrial Sword-Sharpening Heavenly Pool, the Taiwei Blessed Land...

On a page of a book, there were a few lines of bold, vigorous calligraphy, the handwriting fresh and new, followed by a few annotations.

It is an answer that Tianjian Pavilion has just collected, written by Tianjianzi himself, to minimize the possibility of accidents.

After all, it involves the Heavenly Emperor, so one can never be too careful.

If an ordinary disciple were to write or transcribe the jade slip, the content might change for no apparent reason and deviate from its original meaning.

The Nine Heavens were created by the Heavenly Emperor using nine stars; before that, it was already a blessed land of outstanding natural beauty.

When the Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, he used his great supernatural powers to transform the place, elevating the original blessed land to the very top.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor cultivated there for a long time before his Mahayana journey, leaving behind the most imprints. If you go back along the river of time, you will surely find what you want.

However, as the central hub of the Dao Court, the core of the core, the Nine Heavens is impossible for outsiders to enter.

Above the Nine Heavens, it is likely that only high-ranking individuals at the Six Emperors and Nine Luminaries level can enter.

Secondly, the Heavenly Emperor stayed for too long, leaving a deep imprint.

Even in his deepest sleep, Bai Zichen was still worried that afterimages might appear that exceeded his tolerance limit.

Therefore, this location was immediately ruled out.

Looking at the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree, it was planted by the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, but it survived only after being blessed by the Heavenly Emperor.

It only ripens once every 9,999 years, and the peaches it produces have many wonderful uses. They can be eaten directly without needing to be processed or used in medicine.

It is highly valued by both the Dao Court and the Heavenly Palace, but the difficulty and feasibility of contacting it are much more reasonable than those above the Nine Heavens.

The Heavenly Emperor's Xuan Tian Sword was simply a weapon that had the right master; it was not a divine weapon passed down from ancient times.

He grew alongside the Heavenly Emperor, successfully honing his sword in the outer realms and advancing to a seventh-tier flying sword, laying the foundation for his later ascension to the eighth tier.

The place called the Sword-Sharpening Heavenly Pool is actually several worlds connected in a line, resembling a pool.

It's too broad and lacks specific focus.

If you go there, it might take hundreds or even thousands of years to find the marks left by the Heavenly Emperor.

For Bai Zichen, who was in a great hurry, this was an unacceptably long period of time.

We can only put it aside for now and consider it as a last resort.

Taiwei Blessed Land is renowned throughout the Nine Realms. Located in the Two Elements Immortal Realm, it is the birthplace of the first Eternal Celestial Venerable.

When the Heavenly Emperor traveled here, he recognized the young Changsheng Tianzun and took him as his personal disciple.

Perhaps because the subject of this matter is the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, it was not erased even though it occurred before the Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment.

"First go to the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree, then to the Taiwei Blessed Land. Don't make too much noise, no one should be able to stop me."

Once Bai Zichen finalized his itinerary, he didn't hesitate or waver.

Activating the Jade Dial will certainly come with risks, but it is the most controllable method.

If the Heavenly Emperor gradually awakens and gains the ability to act independently, the challenges he faces will explode exponentially.

Only if he demonstrates his value in resisting the Heavenly Emperor will those powerful beings who harbor resentment towards him take action.

It is believed that powerful beings hidden in every corner, crevice, and beyond the Three Realms will all cast their gaze upon this place, making it possible for them to jointly resist the Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, this risk must be taken, and we must do everything in our power to find a way out of the slim chance of success.

"I wonder how Zi Fu Jing's incarnation is doing now? Has he arrived at the first stop as planned?"

Last month, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion set up the Great Realm Descending Array.

The foundation stones alone contained thousands of immortal crystals, and there were hundreds of high-level spiritual objects whose names were known but whose origins were unknown.

Such a huge price was paid just to send one person to the mortal realm.

Zi Fu Jing's avatar, who had successfully caused his cultivation level to drop back to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, stood at the center of the formation and disappeared amidst dark clouds and a fierce wind.

The fact that the avatar has not yet perished indicates that it has successfully reached the Hidden Dragon Realm.

However, after crossing over, it can't even sense the status, let alone transmit messages.

It was as if a thick membrane separated everything.

"There's no point in thinking too much. I can't help the incarnation anyway. I should just focus on doing my own thing... With his strength, I really can't think of anyone in the human world who could threaten him."

The power of the Hidden Dragon Realm is there; it's impossible for someone to reach the Void Refinement Realm. At most, they can seal their cultivation like him.

Apart from the creation-based spiritual treasures born in this world, all other spiritual treasures of the fifth rank and above will be subject to restrictions and cannot be fully utilized.

Zi Fujing's avatar carried only a few fifth-tier flying swords, among which the Yuan Ying sword contained three Azure Emperor Longevity Swords.

If one were to encounter an ancient demon lord who has been hiding since the Middle Ages and has not yet passed away, it would be a matter of a casual sword strike.

Such beings should have died of old age long ago, but they have lived to an undue age through various means, and their lifespan is the most sensitive factor.

It is estimated that if the true meaning of time were to brush against it even slightly, it would perish and its essence would vanish; it is an absolute nemesis.

"The Five Virtues Longevity Peach is a celestial root that should have been extinct in the last era, but it was planted and thrived by the Celestial Venerable Changtian to this day, which is a miracle in itself... The last harvest was not long ago, so the two sides will not be guarding it too closely. The greater threat should come from the peach tree itself."

A million-year-old immortal root, regardless of whether it has developed sentience, contains terrifying power.

If you want to use it to travel back in time, you first have to worry about whether the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree can handle it.

……

Poisonous flames rolled and surged several meters high every now and then, with heat waves sweeping in all directions.

The fireworks were laced with poison; any monster that passed by that touched a drop of their blood was instantly devoured, leaving only a skeleton lying on the ground, emitting a foul stench.

Every few miles, there is a bottomless crack in the ground, tearing the earth into pieces and severing the spiritual veins.

This makes it impossible for high-level spiritual veins to be born on this land.

That pitiful amount of spiritual energy is mixed with violent and insidious elements; refining ten portions of it would take at least seven portions of effort.

To cultivate and grow in such an environment, one must endure more than ten times the hardship.

The current situation is already the result of many improvements over the past few centuries.

Before that, there was no space for the rice to sprout and mature, and for clear water to flow.

Nowadays, at least ordinary people can survive under the protection of cultivators, instead of losing their harvest and dying tens of thousands of times due to a sudden eruption of subterranean fire.

"Judging from this scene, it should be the Western Regions... Since we've landed in this region, there's no need to rush straight to the Moral Sect. Let's investigate all the suspicious points here first before moving on to the next target."

The young man in purple glanced at the monotonous and unchanging horizon, did some quick calculations, and matched the location with the map in his mind.

The Western Regions were a desperate place, forged through countless battles.

Many of the participants were beings who had descended to the mortal realm. They attacked without restraint, unleashing their true power and employing many supernatural abilities and secret techniques that should not exist in the human world.

They would often sacrifice two spiritual veins, sometimes burn entire rivers, and cultivate the Western Regions repeatedly, almost turning it into a land devoid of spiritual energy.

When I was in the human realm, I visited the Western Regions the fewest times, because this place was sparsely populated.

But it cannot be denied that the Western Regions hold the most secrets from before the Middle Ages.

Bai Zichen completely eradicated his evil thoughts and obtained an alternative path to longevity through cultivation, which was in the Ten Lands of Fengdu.

"Let's go and see all the ancient battlefields and the Ten Fengs. With today's perspective, we might be able to see some details that we overlooked back then."

The purple-robed youth appeared to be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but in reality, he had stepped down from the Void Refining stage.

It was another fusion incarnation, having witnessed the grand spectacle of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and understood the vast difference in perspective and level between it and the Nascent Soul stage in the mortal realm.

He used his long-forgotten escape technique, and with a leisurely step, he was thousands of miles away.

However, the faint binding force emanating from the heavens and earth reminded him that this was the human realm he had been away from for a long time.

Almost every moment, a certain amount of lifespan slips away from the body.

Once action is taken, the loss will be ten or a hundred times faster.

However, given his age and level of understanding, he can definitely handle it.

If the incarnation is upgraded to a fusion body, the lost lifespan will be fully returned.

"A place steeped in yin energy, a sacred site of ghosts, but it seems to have been abandoned..."

The purple-clad youth reached out and wiped his eyes. Under the light of the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Pupils, which had transformed his gaze, there were only a handful of Nascent Soul stage ghost cultivators, let alone fifth-order Yin Gods.

No matter how deep the cultivation location or how powerful the secret technique of concealing one's breath, it cannot escape these discerning eyes.

Compared to my last visit, Ghost City is much more desolate, and its overall strength has dropped by more than one level.

"The Heartless Sword Immortal once drew his sword here and used the Purple Star Thunder Sword to kill three Demon Lords and two Ghost Lords in succession... Later, the fifth-level Yin God who had been guarding the Ten Earths of Fengdu for many years was actually possessed by the Heartless evil thoughts."

The young man in purple recalled the events of that year as if they had just happened.

In reality, this underground force in the human realm has undergone many changes, with all its core members being replaced.

The main reason is that before ascending to immortality, the Sword Lord of Time plundered the resources of the Ten Realms of Fengdu and established the Ghost Realm, thus paving a new path for his few worthless disciples.

If one's natural talent fails to propel them to the Nascent Soul stage, then they should switch to cultivating the Ghost Path.

Putting everything else aside, it at least offers several times the lifespan.

This caused a sharp decrease in the number of ghost cultivators that the Ten Earthly Fengdu could supply, far from maintaining its original state.

They can no longer be that powerful force that, though not well-known, could stir up trouble in the shadows and influence the course of events between the human and demon races in the Immortal Realm.

Under the careful scanning of Zhulong Yin-Yang Eyes, quite a few secrets were indeed discovered, even the ghost cultivators of the Ten Earthly Fengdu were kept in the dark.

For example, inside the plaque of the Ghost City is a secret manual left by the previous Ghost Lord, which records in detail how to break through to the fifth level of Yin God.

Huge skeletons can be seen everywhere in the ghost city walls, which is not surprising.

Two bones gleamed in the Zhulong Yin-Yang Eyes, exuding an astonishing demonic aura.

Without even getting close enough to observe, the remains of a demon lord at least at the peak of the fifth rank were brazenly mixed in with the city walls.

Having been imbued with Yin energy for many years, once extracted and slightly refined, it immediately becomes a superior spiritual treasure for connecting with the heavens through the ghost path.

In the center of the ghost city, there are three coffins buried deep underground, which are actually the style of the underworld coffins that he is very familiar with.

The tightly closed coffin lid would vibrate slightly every now and then.

It was very slight and made no impact noise. Judging from the covered necromantic soil, it had not been discovered or opened for a very, very long time.

It's like there's a heart beating inside the coffin, causing a coffin reaction.

The young man in purple robes strolled through the Ten Realms of Fengdu as if no one else was around, ignoring the fourth-order ghost cultivators and remaining completely still.

"Dead but not stiff? Who is buried here? I left in a hurry back then and didn't have time to take a closer look."

With his left hand forming a hand seal, he rubbed his eyes, revealing the true form of the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Pupil.

His two vertical pupils filled his eye sockets, leaving no white in his eyes, exuding an aggressive and imposing aura.
