Born with immortal seed

Chapter 918 The Old Lion at the Peak of the Fifth Order
It's unknown how the Dragon Lord of the mortal realm acquired the Yin-Yang Eyes supernatural power. Only after going to the Immortal Realm did he realize that this was a feat that could not be accomplished in the lower realms.

Over the years, my power has only increased in accordance with my cultivation level, not because my supernatural abilities have made any breakthroughs.

However, relocating the Purple Mansion Incarnation not only freed the original body from its constraints, allowing it to focus on the Great Dao, but also ensured that its supernatural powers and physical body were completely integrated.

They developed the second form of the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Pupil, where the pupils become dragon eyes, capable of penetrating the very essence of things.

Through the underworld coffin, the thick aura of the underworld gradually thinned, revealing blurry black shadows.

"A Void Refining Corpse, a sixth-tier Demon Saint, who brought this mutilated body and placed it in the Netherworld Coffin..."

The young man in purple gasped; such a spectacle appearing in the mortal realm was far too terrifying.

The three coffins from the underworld contained the remains of a man at the Void Refinement stage, a female immortal at the Void Refinement stage, and a sixth-order demon race member lying quietly.

He used various means to seal his cultivation before he came to the Hidden Dragon Realm, but after his death he was freed from the restrictions of the realm's power, and his true realm was seen through at a glance.

Many minute details could not possibly appear on the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator or a fifth-order demon lord.

"Among the successive Ghost Lords of Fengdu in the Ten Lands, which one has the ability to deal with three powerful beings who have sealed their cultivation levels... Yin Gods are inherently subject to many limitations, and they are at a disadvantage when fighting against cultivators of the same level. More importantly, they have no way forward in the human realm. One of them may have gotten lucky by chance, but there is no reason for three in a row."

I endured the throbbing pain in my eyes, my pupils felt like they were about to burst, and I couldn't tell if it was tears or blood flowing down.

"The man had a thin mark between his eyebrows that ran down to his neck, which was covered by his robe... The female cultivator was even more outrageous; her limbs were bound together with silkworm silk, which should have made her look disheveled... The demon had no visible injuries, but its body was so old and decaying that it was covered in filth."

The Candle Dragon's Eye reappeared, and the three corpses were laid out before him, completely visible.

A person who has successfully completed a meditation retreat will either appear as a living person or have their body return to the world.

Upon seeing this, he died a violent death, and within a short time, a secret technique was used to preserve his physical body from decay using a coffin from the underworld.

He quickly recalled the most famous move by the Heartless Sword Immortal, which was right here when he killed several cultivators from the Descending Realm, shaking the world in that chaotic era.

"Take a look and see if you recognize any of the corpses in these three coffins?"

The purple-clad youth drew his sword and presented the scene before the sword spirit: the long-idle Abyssal Prison Demon Sword.

Among cultivators who descend to the realm, those at the Void Refinement level are extremely rare.

It was quite extraordinary for three people to die in the same area in that era of constant warfare.

With strength far surpassing his peers and the potential to achieve fusion, Wuxin, who shouldn't even be in the Hidden Dragon Realm, is the most likely to make the move.

"These two were killed by Senior Wuxin. I've never seen that demon before; he didn't seem to be present during that great battle..."

The Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword was almost gathering dust in its scabbard, which could only be described as a misfortune that its chosen master was too powerful.

In just a few years, it has been completely left behind and can no longer keep up with its master's pace of progress.

It happened to be present during the battle that day, leaving an unforgettable impression on the Heartless Sword Immortal and the Purple Star Thunder Sword.

With a single move, the sword light pierced through the heavens and earth, its power causing it to cower within the blade, trembling as if it wanted to bow down in worship.

It's not just fear of the strong, but also the purest form of submission; even those of the same level will bow their heads in submission.

"Sure enough."

The young man in purple nodded slightly, believing that these were all the work of the Heartless Sword Immortal, who used his sword to pierce the universe and end the lives of the three.

It appears to be a single sword strike, but in reality it is a condensation of countless sword strikes, representing the highest level of swordsmanship he has ever witnessed.

He had faced the sword several times, and by looking at the problem with the answer in mind, he could find that the wounds on the corpse perfectly matched the move.

However, besides the sword wound, the demon also lost all his life force and reached the end of his long lifespan.

Beyond the sword that pierced the universe, he was struck by the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword.

It seems that the Heartless Sword Immortal made his move and then left gracefully, allowing the Ghost Lord of Fengdu in the Ten Lands to get away with it and use a secret technique to trap him in the Netherworld Coffin.

What they're up to is obvious without even asking.

It is estimated that this secret was not passed down after the death of that ghost lord, and was buried deep in the underworld coffin, never to be taken care of.

Otherwise, it's entirely possible that person could achieve their grand goal and create three sixth-order corpse puppets.

Even with the limitations imposed by the interface, the maximum he can achieve is the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, corpse puppets have no lifespan limit and can move around freely without worrying about losing their lives.

This alone is enough to make Fengdu the number one power in the human world, and even the Daode Sect has to give way.

With three consecutive strikes, three streams of true energy seeped into the ground, surrounding the three underworld coffins.

If this thing is handled improperly, it will bring immense disaster to the human world.

It's unimaginable what it would be like to see a three-headed, unrestrained, and uncommunicative peak-level fifth-tier corpse puppet rampaging through the human realm.

The harm it would bring would probably be no less than if the demon race invaded the land.

"The Netherworld Coffin is also strange. Who in the human realm could forge such an artifact? It involves reincarnation, and even with my current cultivation level, I cannot easily access it... It is indeed related to the Heartless Sword Immortal, but unfortunately, it is not related to the Tribulation Body. It can be considered an extra gain."

The true essence expanded into a fine net, which could block the changes that occurred in the underworld coffin. If he were still in the human world, he could sense it immediately.

Rather than using these three corpse puppets to enhance the Qingfeng Sect's foundation, it's better to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

After Ge Cang and Song Ding ascended to immortality, the sect no longer had control over the suddenly emerging fifth-tier peak corpse puppet.

However, finding the clues left by the Heartless Sword Immortal is the most important thing right now, and there's no time to waste.

We can only leave it to the future and trust in the wisdom of future generations.

Having confirmed that there were no other abnormalities in the ten places, the young man in purple quietly left without alerting anyone.

"Let's head to the Moral Sect first. They have the most complete lineage and the most secrets. We can also inquire about the current situation in the mortal realm while we're at it..."

There are many places that can be associated with the Heartless Sword Immortal, such as the Sword Tomb Secret Realm in Black Mountain, where all the most valuable possessions are located.

For example, the overseas immortal abode left behind the essence of the Azure Dragon and the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, which are clearly related to the Heavenly Emperor.

There is also the Heavenly River Sword Sect Secret Realm, where Wuxin's personal flying sword has also appeared.

What he wanted to know was who and which sect the Heartless Sword Immortal had contacted when he was in the mortal realm.

Have you ever deliberately collected any spiritual objects, or stayed in any particular place for an extended period?

Only in this way can we unravel the mystery and discover what the Heartless Sword Immortal was trying to say.

"who?"

Halfway through his flight, the purple-clad youth, lost in thought, raised his thick eyebrows and slapped the void in front of him, scattering several wisps of white clouds.

Zi Fu Jing's seemingly ordinary palm strike actually embodies profound truth, sealing off heaven and earth.

Moreover, he didn't use much of his own true essence; he relied more on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

If things don't go as planned, it's good to be able to withdraw in time and have ample room to make adjustments.

All of the above, including the fact that he was distracted but still sensed someone spying on him, were instinctive reactions of the Purple Mansion Scenery incarnation.

This incarnation doesn't need to specifically cultivate killing techniques; every move it makes is a killing move, similar to Song Ding's Guicang Sacred Body. In battle, it can always make the most reasonable response.

"What keen senses! You can even perceive things through the cave... With your cultivation level, it's impossible that I haven't heard of you. May I ask which school you studied under?"

A giant light screen was captured, shimmering like the surface of a lake.

Two beast claws emerged from the light screen, tearing it open to reveal a lion's face.

This is an extremely old lion, its fur has faded from a bright, golden color to grayish-white, its eyes are cloudy, and its eyelids droop slightly.

His voice lacked the usual furious thunder of a demon race; instead, it was gentle and breezy, like that of a great scholar of the human race.

Without needing to exert any pressure, the aura of the King of Beasts already spread, surpassing even that of the old dragon and Red Ear that he had seen in the past.

"Hiss, peak of the fifth rank... There is actually a demon lord of this level hidden in the human realm, and in the heart of the inland!"

The young man in purple's eyes twitched; he sensed a slight threat.

This old lion actually possessed the peak of the fifth rank, surpassing even the demon lords who reigned during the chaos on the demon continent.

If they had stood up then, the human race would probably have suffered a crushing defeat long ago, and the situation would have been completely different.

Later, Red Ear died in battle, the Old Dragon was forced to ascend, and the demon race suffered a crushing defeat. The Old Lion did not appear, which shows that he really did not care about the changes in the world.

"Bai Zichen, the Sword Master of Time?"

Two stunningly beautiful female cultivators emerged from beside the old lion. Both were fifth-order demon lords, dressed in colorful robes. One was mature and glamorous, while the other was youthful and lively.

The younger one exclaimed in surprise, his voice as clear as a phoenix's cry: "Didn't you ascend to heaven long ago? How come you're here again!"

"Two more!"

The young man in purple sighed. There were so many secrets hidden in the Hidden Dragon Realm, and his identity had been exposed.

The Western Regions, which are most despised in the cultivation world, have quietly produced three demon lords, among whom the old lion is the pinnacle of the human realm.

Even excluding hidden forces, this one family alone surpasses the top power of the entire human race.

However, the two demon lords that appeared later helped him pinpoint the direction and made it clear which group they were.

……

In the eastern region, at Lankeshan Mountain.

After Bai Laozu, two more Laozu, Ge Cang and Song Ding, ascended to immortality. Although no Nascent Soul cultivators appeared among the subsequent disciples, the number of Nascent Soul elders had already exceeded ten.

Despite its short history of rise, it has already been recognized by cultivators as one of the two great holy lands, alongside the Five Peaks of the Central Region.

Countless cultivators traversed mountains and valleys, enduring all sorts of trials, to reach the foot of Rotten Axe Mountain, all for the sake of becoming a disciple of the Green Maple Sect.

This has led to increasingly higher standards for entering the sect. Without a recommendation, without an inner disciple elder in three generations, or being a member of one of the seven clans, it is not easy to become a menial disciple.

Qi Wei felt very lucky. He had no talent in three spiritual roots, but his bloodline, spiritual body, and comprehension were all lacking. Yet, he passed the tests one after another and was directly admitted as an outer disciple.

Many cultivators with similar backgrounds and cultivation levels to him only served as menial disciples.

Aside from the advantage of being from Heishan, he was fortunate that during the sect entrance examination, a deacon took an interest in his character description and brought out the sect's files for comparison.

It was only then that they discovered that Qi Wei's ancestors had produced an elder, who wielded considerable power—not just the kind who would raise their hands to vote at a meeting.

The key is that he can be connected with two ascended ancestors.

Qi Wei's status was immediately recognized; a vermilion edict was drawn around his name, leading directly to the outer gate.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you've only just reached the Qi Refining stage; once you've completed your apprenticeship for a full year, you'll be granted a Foundation Establishment Pill.

If you don't fall behind in the later stages, the sect will even provide half of the resources for Core Formation.
