Born with immortal seed

Chapter 923 Another Encounter with the Spread of Dharma
"...the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, so it's better to destroy it now."

Upon hearing the familiar words, Bai Zichen immediately realized that the scene was beginning to repeat itself.

This time, however, the original complete sentence was affected, leaving only a nonsensical half.

This also means that previously incomplete content may become complete.

"There is no spiritual energy in the universe that can sustain the growth of the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree. Every inch it grows taller means a trace of energy is drawn from the source of the Earthly Immortal Realm... Little by little, it will eventually form an irreversible gap."

"If grafted onto a minor universe, it might cause that universe to collapse in just one flowering and fruiting!"

"But before that, how many innocent lives will be lost? Is such a price really worth it?"

"Your disciple obeys... I hope that day will come soon."

Bai Zichen watched this scene more than ten times, piecing together the words that the Eternal Heavenly Venerable said to the Heavenly Emperor that day.

If I understand correctly, the growth, flowering, and fruiting of the Wude Longevity Peach Tree are all stained with blood; they are built upon countless lives.

On the surface, it is a celestial tree symbolizing all that is good, but in reality, it is almost the worst kind of demonic seed.

Even the Celestial Venerable of Longevity couldn't bear to watch, feeling that he couldn't bear such sins, and wanted to stop the cultivation of the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree.

Judging from the reaction, the Heavenly Emperor resolutely rejected them.

"In every era of the microcosm, there are countless things that have been destroyed for all sorts of reasons... In this light, the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree deserves much of the credit."

After all the words were clearly expressed, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity suddenly raised his head and glanced in Bai Zichen's direction.

The eyes did not have a specific focus, as if they only saw a general direction.

His gaze was complex, as if it held a thousand words, yet he couldn't put them into words.

"He sensed my future self!"

Bai Zichen was startled, thinking that the first generation of the Longevity Celestial Venerable, as the direct disciple of the Heavenly Emperor and known as the most perfect body of the Guangyin Dao, could not possibly be lacking in his attainments of the Dao of Time.

To the Heavenly Emperor, the mark under the Five Virtues Peach Tree was just an insignificant spot; he could find hundreds or thousands of more representative ones.

But the Eternal Celestial Venerable was deeply imprinted in the river of time, representing some of the most important moments of his life.

At the same time, the River of Light generates a connection, and when someone observes him a million years later, the Celestial Venerable of Eternal Life from a million years ago will have a slight feeling.

"I did not discover the Heavenly Emperor's weakness, but I learned the greatest secret about the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree... If the scene I saw is real, I should do my best to destroy it."

Having achieved his goal, Bai Zichen withdrew from the river of time.

Further ahead lay the source of a time river that made him tremble with fear—a river whose beginning and end were nowhere to be seen, yet which truly existed.

The true meaning of time had become so rich that it permeated every corner. He witnessed a fossil of an insect that would take 100,000 years to form fall into the light circle and emerge in an instant looking exactly like a newly unearthed fossil.

Here, no one dares to make a loud noise.

Fearing that they might disturb some unknown being and fall into the source of the River of Time, even Bai Zichen didn't think he could withstand it.

"If the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree is an obstacle to the origin of the universe and harms living beings, it is only in accordance with the laws of nature to destroy it... Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor values ​​this thing and will definitely let it continue to exist. I will do the opposite and not let Him be comfortable."

However, the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree is not so easy to destroy. Apart from the difficulty of dealing with the immortal tree itself, it is also equivalent to making enemies of both the Dao Court and the Heavenly Palace.

There are quite a few sects in the Earthly Immortal Realm that do not submit to the rule of the Dao Court, but very few that also offend the Heavenly Palace at the same time.

You should go to people's homes and tell them that the First Eternal Heavenly Venerable personally stated that this tree will bring great calamity and harm to the universe. See who will pay attention to it.

“I can’t take this responsibility alone. Tianjianzi is unwilling to face the Heavenly Emperor directly and can use me as a pawn... but he should also take on the responsibility he should have when things happen. He can’t just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.”

The original plan was to head straight to the Taiwei Blessed Land of the Two Elements Immortal Realm after the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree, but now the itinerary has to be changed.

“Apart from Tian Jianzi, I don’t believe that no top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators have felt personally threatened. I’ve paved the way and created opportunities for them… Now that trouble has arisen, it’s time for me to lend a hand.”

As a veteran powerhouse and one of the Five Sons of the Human Race, Tian Jianzi's network of connections is certainly far superior to Bai Zichen's.

Only someone of this caliber can gain the trust of others.

……

"Those ancient demon lords who approached Wuxin were actually instigated by the Moral Sect, who claimed he had clues to a creation-era spiritual treasure, all to test his strength!"

The jade slips sent by the Daode Sect were piled up like a small mountain, along with boxes of original handwritten top-secret letters, all of which testified to the profound foundation of the number one sect in the human realm.

The young man in purple lightly swiped his index finger, understanding all the information without a second thought.

Many horrifying stories are recorded in the scriptures of the Tao Te Ching, by those who were either participants or bystanders.

If it weren't for Bai Zichen, this anomaly, the Moral Sect should have stood at the very top of the cultivation world, unshakeable for thousands of years.

The outer world controlled by the Moral Sect, which was regarded as the last resort to escape to a paradise, actually produced an exceptional genius.

He cultivated Taoism for six hundred years and successfully transformed into a deity several years ago.

This person traversed the sea of ​​stars and crossed the nine heavens yesterday to come and pay his respects.

His foundation was somewhat shallow, and he should have received external assistance when breaking through, but he was indeed a genuine human god.

With this person present, the glory of the Daode Sect can be maintained for another thousand years.

"Wu Xin once asked the Daode Sect to collect the Spring and Autumn Cicada, but he quickly gave up because the highest level was only the third rank... He built four sword tombs in the Northern Region, and the Daode Sect recorded them all. However, Wu Xin's methods were so exquisite that only his descendants who met his standards could see through the tricks."

"I once took a great liking to a poor young man from the Eastern Region and kept him by my side for several years, but later I had no intention of taking him as a disciple... After that person reached the Nascent Soul stage, he founded a sect in the Eastern Region, but a hundred years later, the entire sect was wiped out in a demon tide."

The Daoist sect's grasp of information about the Heartless Sword Immortal has exceeded his expectations.

Firstly, the tradition has been passed down in an orderly manner, without any interruption.

Another reason is that the few times the Heartless Sword Immortal made his move were so astonishing that the Moral Sect had to do everything in its power to gather every bit of information.

However, this information does not reveal whether Wuxin Sword Immortal has hidden any special clues.

The only option is to go back and visit several sword tombs and overseas immortal abodes to see if there were any places I missed when my cultivation level was low that day.

"Senior, the Dharma Master has arrived outside the peak. Please move aside to meet him."

The Dao Lineage Master stood at the foot of the peak and began to report.

"Is the Dharma still spreading in the world?"

The young man in purple raised his head, a look of reminiscence on his face.

"When guests are welcome, I cannot refuse to let the host stay at the door... Please come in quickly, lest you shorten your lifespan."

When the True Lord of Propagation became famous throughout the world, Bai Zichen had not yet been born.

The first time I saw this was when the Daode Sect sent troops to wipe out the Zengguang Du Clan. Du Heng had secretly cultivated the True Demon Saint Body, and no one could cure him.

The highly respected Great True Lord of the Dharma made his appearance as the deputy peak master of Heavenly Punishment Peak, and with his invincible power, he killed Du Heng, leaving a deep impression on him.

He was recognized early on as a future Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world, deeply respected by all, and did not disappoint.

After transforming into a deity, he made great contributions in the war between the human and demon races, holding back the Lord of Qingqiu and preventing him from joining the final battlefield.

However, he is quite old and should have passed the critical period of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Fortunately, given the foundation of the Daode Sect, they must possess a complete set of longevity-enhancing spiritual items.

With the emergence of Xuanzhou and Beihai, the two sides exchanged goods and resources, and many spiritual items that had long disappeared from the ancestral continent were added, making it possible to refine those longevity pill formulas again.

"According to the sect's rules, the five peak masters are not allowed to enter the Dao lineage, so we will have to trouble you, senior."

The Lord was somewhat uneasy, for the Sword Lord of Time was nearby, but he was a figure from a thousand years ago.

In terms of realm, he is a true immortal from the upper realm, a figure that has not been seen in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years.

No amount of respect is too much.

“Then I’ll go see him; it’ll be the same.”

He held a degree of respect for the True Lord of Propagation, and the purple-robed youth immediately stood up, took a step, and was already out of the Tushita Heaven.

"Greetings, Lord of Time Sword."

The Dharma propagator stands within the divine banner, separating himself from the real world, creating an extended space similar to a grotto.

"How can you come in your true form? Just send an incarnation."

The young man in purple reached out his hand in a gesture of support. Just like when they last met, he had broad shoulders and a dignified bearing.

However, Xiu's progress is limited to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if he were given another thousand years, he wouldn't have enough time to cultivate to the perfect Nascent Soul realm.

It seems that he was still affected by the injury he sustained in the battle with the Lord of Qingqiu; otherwise, with his talent for spreading the Dharma, his cultivation should not be progressing so slowly.

"Sword Lord truly deserves to be called the strongest sword cultivator in the history of the cultivation world. He has only been ascended for a short time, yet he has already advanced to the Void Refinement stage and returned to the lower realm... This comparison is truly shameful."

The words spoken by the propagator of the Dharma came from the heart and were not tinged with flattery.

It was also a reflection on my own state of mind that prompted this expression of my feelings.

"I wouldn't call it the strongest, Taibai is still around... Your sect's Fellow Daoist Gong has also successfully ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm, so his cultivation must be quite good."

The young man in purple seriously argued that in terms of strength, he was no less than the Taibai Sword Immortal.

However, since Taibai is already in the late stage of the Fusion Realm and his cultivation level is ahead, it's not wrong to say that.

"Master Gong has indeed reached the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

Hongfa was overjoyed but turned pale. Gong Shu was forced to ascend to heaven and disappeared along with Ao Laolong and the mysterious female immortal.

Knowing that the three of them working together would have a high probability of surviving the void turbulence, they realized that if they joined forces, they would have a good chance of getting through the void turbulence.

But without definite news, I can't help but worry.

Now that we have received confirmation, how can we not be overjoyed?

The two exchanged a few pleasantries about the major events that had occurred in the cultivation world after Bai Zichen's ascension.

"I heard that Sword Lord came for that sword immortal from the Upper Realm, so I've come to provide some information that might be useful."

Hongfa straightened his face and spoke solemnly.

The young man in purple felt a stirring in his heart, filled with anticipation, and said, "Please speak."

"There are quite a few immortals who descended to the realm in the history of cultivation, but only two people truly transcended their ranks and gave people an irresistible feeling. One of them is the Heartless Sword Immortal."

Hongfa slowed down his speech, as if he were under invisible pressure as he delivered these words.

"The two appeared around the same time and never interacted, but our sect's founder believed that they were very likely descending to the mortal realm with the same goal. However, their methods of doing things were different, and they did not leave behind any amazing achievements, but one of our sect's founders had dealings with him."

"More importantly, unlike the Heartless Sword Immortal, the other one did not disappear quickly and returned to the Immortal Realm... Many major events in the cultivation world can be traced back to him, and this continued until ten thousand years ago!"
