Born with immortal seed

Chapter 921 The Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree

"I am too old. By the time I realized this, it was too late. If I could go back three thousand years, I would be confident that I could fight against the heavens and send you through the ascension passage before my physical body disintegrates..."

The old lion rarely showed signs of weakness. Having risen from a third-tier Fiery Lion to where he is today, he once thought he could conquer the heavens, but now it's time for him to bow his head.

"Staying here is a dead end. Only by going to the Immortal Realm can you have a chance to become a Demon Saint. I don't want you to go through the experience of me rolling in the mud and struggling to climb up again."

Qingfei and Tong'er have no background in the Heavenly Demon Realm, so even if they ascend to heaven, they won't be able to enjoy a life of luxury there.

The human race refers to the Nine Realms as the Immortal Realm because they know that after a Mahayana True Immortal transcends, they can go to a higher world.

But among the alien races, many refer to it directly as the Immortal Realm.

The only place where it's possible for a post-natal being to attain the eighth level of enlightenment is the Immortal Realm.

Despite the many alien races that oppose humanity, there are actually many more who are trying every means to prove that they have human blood and want to migrate to the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, demons like the old lion, who reached this point without relying on bloodline but on their own talent, have even more faith in the environment of the Immortal Realm where human will can overcome nature.

"But can that person really believe it?"

Qingfei's cultivation level is at the peak of this realm, but she has always been under the protection of the old lion and has not experienced much danger.

"Give him half at that time, and use a secret technique to fuse the other half into the True Feather. Only you can retrieve it if you so choose..."

The old lion had clearly made plans in advance, trying to be as thorough as possible.

“That white monkey is too ambitious, Tong’er can’t control it… From now on, you can only rely on yourselves, so be careful in everything.”

A thousand words in my heart can only be expressed in a long sigh.

The lion king, who had climbed up from the bottom and created miracles time and again, now had a hunched back, looking desolate and lonely.

……

"Back then, the news from the Moral Sect was that one of the remaining two swords was sent to the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the other was taken to the Heavenly Demon Realm. How did you end up in the old lion's hands?"

As the light flashed by, the young man in purple casually asked a question.

This answer is not important to him now, but it was very valuable to him in the past.

But I had been looking forward to the four swords gathering for a long time.

"I was obtained by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Two Realms Immortal Domain. While waiting to return to the Earth Immortal Realm, I was swallowed by the Lion King along with my sword, and have never seen the light of day since... It was thanks to my master that I had another chance to exorcise demons."

Without hesitation, the sword spirit of the Demon-Slaying Sword of the Fate Master recognized it as its master.

Any human cultivator would be better than the old lion, especially with two companions around; he's sure to be a good master.

"So that's how it is. So the Demon Sword of Sigong She went to the Heavenly Demon Realm. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to collect all four swords to form a complete set."

The old lion's understanding of the Heartless Sword Immortal was limited to legends, but he was not disappointed; instead, he grasped the key to it.

The ability to always foresee the future and arrive at the scene at the very first moment of celestial phenomena can only be attributed to a few possibilities.

The Heartless Sword Immortal possesses the omniscient Great Dao, knowing everything with a single thought and comprehending it with a single intention.

The Heavenly Emperor once cast a glance at the Hidden Dragon Realm, transmitting all the events that were about to unfold to this body undergoing tribulation.

"There is another possibility: he unintentionally comprehended a supernatural power of time, which allows him to foresee fragments of the future through the river of time."

The reason the young man in purple agreed to the old lion's request was because of the value of that statement alone.

"Whenever there are unusual celestial phenomena, there must be someone without intention present... Let the Daode Sect retrieve all the data, find the pattern, and we will know what he is looking for."

They continued their journey without stopping, heading straight for the Central Region Great Zhou.

With his speed, it would be difficult for anyone in the human realm to even notice him, let alone catch up with him.

For special cases like the old lion, one occurrence is enough.

Along the way, they encountered several large-scale battles, with precious light soaring into the sky, and even Nascent Soul cultivators appearing in the midst of them.

These people were extremely vicious and showed no mercy whatsoever.

However, the young man in purple ignored it. Only when he saw a large swamp overflowing its banks, flooding thousands of miles of fertile land, and countless mortals fleeing with their wives and children using various tools, did he use his great supernatural powers to calm the flood, dissipate the torrential rain, and reveal the blazing sun.

"It seems the cultivation world is much more chaotic than when I was there..."

At that time, the demon race had just been wiped out, and a large number of sects were relocated to the outer sea to rebuild their destroyed homes. The entire ancestral continent was thriving.

Not to mention that cultivators who have undergone tribulation have disappeared, at least no one dares to openly establish their names, let alone gather a group of people.

When disputes between sects escalate, they must be reported to the Qingfeng Sect for a ruling.

Those who dared to use their power for internal strife and slaughter would receive an imperial decree the next day, exiling them all to Xuanzhou to slowly and bitterly fight against the demon race there.

The human and demon races in Xuanzhou are disproportionately strong. Even though Song Ding killed most of the top demon beasts, the number of third-tier and above spirit beasts scattered throughout the land is still ten thousand times that of the native human race.

The only option is to continuously draw people from various sects to ensure that at least two immortal cities can be built in Xuanzhou.

This situation only shows that the Qingfeng Sect's deterrent power has greatly declined, and at the same time, the benefits of the previous two wars have been almost completely digested, returning to the most naked and cruel world of cultivation.

After a few thoughts swirled around, Mount Xuandu came into view, and the appearances of the cultivators along the way had changed noticeably.

The Daode Sect's flying boats have constructed a tight defense line, patrolling not only along the routes of the Zhou Tian Grand Array, but also leaving no blind spots in space.

Various war artifacts on the flying boat continuously scanned the surroundings, ensuring that at least three types of concealment divine light shone through at the same time.

The ship is also equipped with spirit beasts with special bloodlines, some of which can dispel illusions, some can smell a strange odor from thousands of miles away, and some can distinguish a specific person when tens of thousands of cultivators are casting spells together...

Unfortunately, the highest level of the patrol inspector was only the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so this display was just for show for the Purple Mansion Scenery incarnation.

The reason for choosing to come here instead of Wufeng is that the Daoist lineage within the Daoist sect is noble and possesses more secrets.

“An old friend has come to visit. Please invite the Venerable Master of the Dao Lineage to come and see me.”

The young man in purple stopped a hundred miles away, his voice shaking the clouds and reaching straight into the Tushita Heaven.

It guarantees that every cultivator within the cave can hear it clearly, and no restriction can stop it.

Given his status, how could he possibly visit a Daode Sect cultivator?

Even if he disregards etiquette, the Daode Sect cannot accept a bow from a Nascent Soul cultivator; the statues in the hall might even crack.

A moment later, the Tushita Heaven opened wide, and lines of cultivators rushed out, crowding around a cloud-borne carriage that slowly approached.

"I wonder which senior has come here? I would like to ask for your presence."

A dignified woman stepped down from the cloud-borne carriage and calmly bowed in all directions.

"The current head of the Dao lineage is actually a woman. Where is Yu Ziliang?"

In a place invisible to the naked eye, within the Tushita Heaven, hundreds of colorful threads connect the cloud-borne carriage and the dignified female cultivator.

In the event of any unforeseen event, the power of the entire grotto-heaven can be transferred to it, making it no different from not having left the grotto-heaven at all.

The woman in purple took a step forward, appearing in a form that the female cultivator could not comprehend.

"The senior and the master were old friends? He stayed at the Nascent Soul stage for three hundred years, determined to bravely climb to the Divine Transformation stage, but ultimately could not defy the will of Heaven..."

The Venerable One was greatly alarmed. If someone from the same era as his master was still alive today, then that person would undoubtedly be a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Since Master Zhuang passed away, no one has achieved the Transformation Spirit stage in a long time, which is highly unusual for the Daoist lineage.

But she had seen Nascent Soul cultivators before. With the Tushita Heaven as her home ground, she, at the peak of her Nascent Soul stage, was virtually indistinguishable from a Nascent Soul cultivator. She shouldn't have felt so helpless and powerless.

She couldn't believe that such a person had appeared in the cultivation world; a single encounter with him had instilled in her a strong sense of crisis.

“Yu Ziliang’s apprentice? He never mentioned me to you, that shouldn’t be the case… I know your family has the most complete and exquisite collection of books, so I came here to borrow some to browse.”

He spoke casually, as if he were just borrowing some condiments like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

"You, you are... the Sword Lord of Time!"

The Lord raised his head and saw a familiar face.

How could the Master not have mentioned it? He mentioned it almost every few days, and the words he used to teach people became common sayings, circulating both inside and outside the Daode Sect.

Don't think that just because you're exceptionally talented or have outstanding potential, you can slack off and be lazy.

No matter how strong you are, can you compare to the Sword Master of Time back then?
Although their appearances and the images that have been passed down are slightly different, and their temperaments are quite different, their eyes are exactly the same.

Coupled with his unfathomable strength, she immediately believed that it was not a prank.

"Senior, you have been ascended for many years, how come you appear in Xuandu Mountain... Is it because the ascension passage has been consolidated and reverse ascension is now allowed?"

As expected of the Dao Lineage Master, who had the closest communication with the patriarchs of the upper realm, he still made a judgment immediately, even though the last time this communication was eight hundred years ago.

"Ascension is still possible as long as it is done by an individual, but there are still great risks for those below the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

The young man in purple reiterated his purpose, stating that there was no need for pleasantries or formalities.

"I want all the information on the Heartless Sword Immortal who descended to the mortal realm back then, not a single volume missing... At the same time, I also want a copy of the corresponding research that your sect has already conducted."

"The Heartless Sword Immortal?"

The lord was taken aback; clearly, this question was unexpected.

So many years have passed, if you ask someone from another sect, they will only be completely confused.

"Is he the strongest and most mysterious sword immortal from the Upper Realm who displayed his divine power in the Ten Earthly Fengdu during that period?"

"Yes, that's the person."

The young man in purple nodded slightly, his expression unreadable.

"May I ask the senior why you need to access the information? After all, a large number of classic texts are stored on Huangting Peak, and I need to give an explanation to the Five Peak Masters."

The Venerable One carefully considered his words. His research on the Sword Lord of Time did not diminish after his ascension; on the contrary, it intensified.

Many people are curious about him and want to find out what kind of person this greatest swordsman of all time who created one miracle after another is.

As a close ally, the Daode Sect must have left behind the most detailed information, but no one dares to be certain of his true nature.

In many situations, they exhibit contradictory personality traits that are completely opposite.

Especially after returning from the Immortal Realm, who knows how they will feel, or if their personality will have changed a lot.

"I want to see all the books within three days. If anyone has any objections, let him come to me and I will give him an explanation."

The purple-robed youth released a slight aura, causing a group of Daoist disciples to collapse in an instant. Even the Venerable Master turned pale, his heartbeat almost synchronized with the fluctuations of his true essence, causing chaos.

"Yes, I will immediately write a letter and have my disciple take it to the Five Peaks. I will complete it as quickly as possible and will not delay your affairs, senior."

The Venerable One set aside his last bit of ulterior motives and confirmed that this was an enemy beyond the combined strength of the Moral Sect.

In the current cultivation world, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or even a higher level, already allows for overwhelming superiority in cultivation.

Moreover, the Sword Lord of Time was famous for his ability to defeat enemies of higher levels. He almost single-handedly wielded his sword to conquer the outer sea, nearly wiping out high-level demonic beasts.

After cultivating in the Immortal Realm, his strength will likely reach an immeasurable level, and no one in the mortal realm will be able to withstand his sword strike.

"Sit down and tell me properly about the changes in the Qingfeng Sect over the years. Are there any noteworthy events?"

While waiting, the young man in purple began to think about the few things in the human world that were worth remembering.

"Senior disciple Five Elements Sword Lord is known as a once-in-a-century breakthrough, setting the most terrifying record besides yours, shaking an entire continent and sea... There is also World Destroyer Thunder Lord, whose thunder magic is divine, making the Five Thunder Sect pale in comparison, and even defeating the Nascent Soul Demon Venerable."

"The two ascended to immortality one after the other, shocking the cultivation world and leaving behind a terrifying legend!"

The Lord spoke with undisguised envy: three members of one family ascending to immortality—how glorious, how magnificent!

I believe that even in ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, this will be recorded in history and become an immortal myth.

"Senior Brother Ge has also ascended to immortality. Not bad, not bad."

The purple-clad youth paused, then realized who the so-called World-Destroying Thunder Lord was.

Song Ding's ascension was within his expectations, after all, he was chosen to be his swordsmanship successor, and all the hard requirements were met.

Ge Cang relied on external forces to achieve his Nascent Soul transformation, so it's understandable that people worry about whether he can succeed.

Thus, it can be considered a double celebration.

……

The milky-white spiritual energy that lingers on the mountaintop year-round becomes increasingly viscous towards the center, turning into a thick veil a hundred feet away, obscuring everything.

The key is that this spiritual energy cannot be dispersed by blowing or seen through; it can only be quietly passed through.

"I wonder if Zhulong's Yin-Yang Eyes can penetrate here. I estimate it would be difficult, otherwise how could it have such a great reputation in the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

Bai Zichen looked towards the center and imagined a large, dark green tree with lush branches and leaves, its bark cracked into the shape of the Eight Trigrams.

There was a pool of spiritual light on the ground, with five colors floating on it, the colors blending so harmoniously as if someone had deliberately mixed them together.

I had read the information before coming and understood that this was because a Five Virtues Longevity Peach had not been picked and had fallen directly to the ground.

This ancient immortal root has extremely high requirements for all aspects of the environment, not only the growing space, spiritual energy and water, but even the harvesting tools must be customized, and there can be no mistakes.

It was a miracle that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality was able to cultivate him successfully; the other members of the Six Emperors did not have high hopes for him at the time.

If you try to pick it with your bare hands, the Five Virtues Longevity Peach will run away when it encounters wood, and turn into water when it encounters soil.

Once, the Five Virtues Longevity Peach was knocked down with a wooden stick, and even with great magical power, it could not be held down.

It rolled twice, adding a pool of spiritual water to the mother tree, which remained there for hundreds of years before the soil reappeared.

Given the value of the Five Virtues Longevity Peach, one such incident is enough; no one should repeat this mistake.

A single Five Virtues Longevity Peach can grant a lifespan of a thousand years and ward off one calamity.

With the five innate virtues bestowed upon him, he will turn misfortune into good fortune within a 60-year cycle, and will have a greater chance of success in whatever he does.

For any cultivator attempting to break through to the Integration stage to obtain a longevity peach, it truly requires an immense amount of influence.

The Daoist Court and the Heavenly Palace fought fiercely for the Five Virtues Longevity Peach every year during the harvest season, with high-ranking officials directly intervening.

If any sect other than these two wants to get involved, they will have to pay a high price in exchange.
