Born with immortal seed

Chapter 929 The Foundation of a Million-Year Power
Ten days later, Qiu Lie visited Bai Zichen and led him to the Taiwei Blessed Land.

"The First Cave Master is getting old, the Second Cave Master has a deficiency in his essence, only the Third Cave Master is in his prime and is regarded as the future successor..."

The old man was in high spirits and recounted the inside story of the White Elephant Cave.

"I heard that the Great Cave Master was a high-level cultivator in his previous life, specializing in incantations?"

Bai Zichen asked with a smile.

With the exchange successful, the combined spiritual resources obtained, and the opportunity for promotion, it's normal to be overjoyed.

"Yes, who wouldn't envy the Great Cave Master's innate blessing technique? Countless people come to him seeking his blessing for alchemy, forging, advancement, and breakthroughs... It is precisely because he has cultivated many good relationships that he was not targeted during his reincarnation."

Qiu Lie nodded slightly and said solemnly.

"But once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you are no longer in control of your own destiny, and very few of the arrangements made in your previous life can be used... In the end, I entered the White Elephant Cave, and there was no chance to be reborn into another body."

"However, the treasures and supernatural powers far surpass those of ordinary Void Refinement cultivators, and their strength is unfathomable."

"Reincarnation..."

Bai Zichen murmured to himself, explaining why people are both afraid and apprehensive about reincarnation.

Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, no matter how high your realm or how strong your supernatural powers were in your previous life, you lose your autonomy and drift with the tide.

Even the legendary Underworld, which governs the Great Dao of Reincarnation, was only scratched the surface in Tian Jianzi's words.

Only two or three out of ten people can cultivate back to the same level as in their previous life in this lifetime; usually, things go downhill.

Therefore, he never placed his hopes on the afterlife, and it is even possible that someone like him has no afterlife at all.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you possess multiple Heaven-Opening Spiritual Objects; such an opportunity is truly enviable... Could you perhaps offer some guidance on where the chances are more likely to lie?"

The two, both at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, were naturally quite fast on the clouds and had already seen the high platform of the Taiwei Blessed Land.

Qiu Lie lowered his head as if searching for a place to land, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

The fact that they would exchange the Primordial Qi Azure for the Creation Spiritual Object indicates that they definitely possess more than one; otherwise, this action would be completely unnecessary.

Cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm all know that only innate treasures born alongside the Lesser Thousand Worlds, possessing a trace of creation power, have the potential to become Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasures.

However, in the Earthly Immortal Realm and even the Middle Thousand Worlds, such mysterious things are unlikely to appear at such high levels.

For a period of time, a trend of collecting creation treasures from various minor worlds swept across the land, with several top powers participating.

It lasted for less than ten thousand years before it subsided.

The return on a large-scale reduction in boundaries simply wasn't worth it.

The formation of the Heavenly Treasure is like a miracle of the Creator; perhaps only one such treasure can be produced in ten minor worlds.

Many others were taken away by local cultivators and brought to the upper realm with them upon their ascension.

It's simpler to offer a high reward and acquire the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure from the ascended cultivators.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking cultivators of the Earthly Immortal Realm also discovered several alternatives from the vast outer world.

Achieving 70-80% success and having a relatively stable source is the mainstream choice for attempting to combine.

"I didn't have such an opportunity. I just got a bargain and bought it from a newly ascended cultivator."

Bai Zichen showed no change on his face, but found it amusing in his heart and continued to play along.

"In that case, you're extremely lucky."

Qiu Lie frowned, and the poisonous insects on his arm hissed.

Upon landing on the high platform, they found it indeed crowded with people. No one paid any attention to the two of them, as everyone rushed to occupy the front row of prayer cushions.

We are just waiting for the senior from Taiwei Blessed Land to appear and begin his lectures.

Qiu Lie seemed very familiar with the place, leading the way east and west, passing through two forests and around three hills.

They stopped when they reached a mountain hollow.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please rest for a moment. I will go and invite the three cave masters here."

Bai Zichen stood with his hands behind his back, a half-smile on his face: "No need for such trouble, just bring them all out. Do you want us to go through the whole process?"

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? I don't understand."

Qiu Lie took a step back, his expression momentarily stunned.

"At this point, there's no need to hide anything. I've only ever heard that the old poisoner always keeps his word and doesn't care about right or wrong, but he's never been this meticulous and cautious when it comes to his temperament."

Once he stepped into the Taiwei Blessed Land, Bai Zichen had no more doubts and proceeded entirely according to his own assumptions.

Two cultivators at the peak of the Void Refinement stage brazenly entered the heart of the territory, causing the entire restriction to fail.

Several faint nodes flickered in the void around the mountain valley, shining brightly in his eyes.

All the arrangements were limited to the Void Refinement level, so when viewed from the perspective of the Combined Body, they were naturally full of flaws.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Qiu. Now that this matter is settled, all the books in Taiwei Paradise are open to you for you to choose from."

The three points of light slowly expanded, and three cultivators emerged from them. The older cultivator on the left took over the conversation.

As he spoke, a thick black curtain fell, enveloping the entire mountain valley.

This was to prevent Bai Zichen from reacting in time and escaping using his escape technique.

"This is merely to repay the kindness of protecting my reincarnation, not to covet your family's books."

Qiu Lie snorted coldly. He didn't cultivate the Time Divine Power, so other techniques in the Taiwei Blessed Land might not be able to surpass his inheritance.

"Young friend, take out the creation artifact. It will only take your life without damaging your primordial spirit, and leave you a chance for reincarnation."

Old Xiu spoke bluntly, saying they were already trapped, and all they had to do was ensure that the other party wouldn't destroy the creation artifact in despair.

Giving someone a glimmer of hope can greatly weaken their will.

With the advantage of home field and the support of the grand formation, four cultivators at the peak of the Void Refinement stage faced off against one opponent.

No matter how you look at it, nothing unexpected could happen.

"I like your straightforwardness; at least you don't treat people like fools by making up empty lies at a time like this."

Bai Zichen clapped his hands in rhythm, but his words gradually turned cold.

"Unfortunately, we share the same goal... You don't have the Primordial Qi Azure, and I can't produce any creation artifacts either."

"what?"

Old Xiu replied instinctively, and then an uncontrollable panic swept over him.

Who could remain so calm when faced with such a desperate situation, or even have foreseen this outcome?

"No!"

A beam of golden light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, swept across, instantly filling the field of vision.

The light and darkness alternated before the clear sound of a longsword being drawn from its sheath could be heard, and then the flying sword returned to its sheath.

Old Xiu, the towering cultivator, and the poisonous old man Qiu Lie were all chopped into dust.

The golden light appeared to be a continuous expanse, but it was actually the aggregation of billions of sword threads. Under the interlacing of the sword threads, even the primordial spirit was reduced to nothingness.

Only the yellow-faced Taoist, whose physical body was shattered, still had a palm leaf to protect his primordial spirit, his small face contorted with fear.

"Merge... Senior, there must be some misunderstanding!"

The yellow-faced Taoist coughed violently, each cough expelling a wisp of jade powder, and his primordial spirit shrank and became more ethereal.

"He's still alive, that's incredible..."

Bai Zichen was slightly surprised; even a casual swing of the Western Queen Mother's sword shouldn't have allowed someone with the Refinement Void ability to survive.

In particular, the Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot is complete, and each sword contains true meaning, far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the yellow-faced Taoist had established a foundation for immortality, reaching the half-step into the Integration stage, and the palm leaf in front of him was a rare treasure from the Purple Mansion.

Just as he was about to deliver another blow, an aged voice came from afar, and a large hand suddenly reached out from the void, grabbing at the yellow-faced Taoist.

"Fellow Taoist, please show mercy!"

The powerful figure disregarded the darkness, leaving calm wherever he went, clearly intending to rescue people.

Bai Zichen snorted coldly, "It's up to you whether you make a move or not. There's no such easy thing as a free lunch."

It was quite unexpected that there was a combined entity presiding over the Taiwei Blessed Land.

However, this was not enough to make him stop.

With a flick of the Western King's Golden Mother Sword, sword threads surged forth from the void, leaping over the palm leaf and arriving before the yellow-faced Taoist.

As the sword threads wrapped around him, before he could even utter a cry of agony, his primordial spirit was shredded into countless fragments.

Only the palm leaf remained, drifting back and forth, while the sword threads were rolled back into his hand.

"What a madman! How dare he wreak havoc in the Taiwei Blessed Land! Doesn't he know that this is the domain of the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable? This act is tantamount to declaring war on the Dao Court!"

The large hand missed its target. The late-arriving Nascent Soul cultivator was extremely tall with handsome, indifferent features, and a hint of annoyance in his voice.

With a shout of "Stop!", the raging golden sword threads in the arena instantly calmed down and vanished without a trace.

The death of a few disciples meant nothing to him; he had seen countless partings and deaths throughout his life. Only the yellow-faced Taoist, who was half a step into the Unity Realm, truly valued him.

Another reason is that the other party has embarrassed them, so they will definitely try to get revenge.

"You're not Daoist Shuijing? Are there other Nascent Soul cultivators in Taiwei Blessed Land?"

Bai Zichen asked curiously, this person looked young but was actually old, and did not match the Shui Jing Dao Ren in the intelligence.

It was the same initial stage of fusion, but the aura was dark and dull. It seemed vigorous but was actually weak inside. The rotten smell could be smelled with the nose.

"I, Zhong Zhu, a man from Xuanshan, originally intended to live out the rest of my life in peace and have long since abandoned the affairs of this blessed land... Fellow Daoist, do you not need to give an explanation for your actions today?"

Zhong Zhu suppressed his anger, always prioritizing understanding the background of any unfamiliar pairing.

After all, any one of his actions could very well force him to reincarnate prematurely, entering a cycle of reincarnation before he is fully prepared.

Such a price is too high, even if it's just for venting anger.

'It's him! '

The previous master of Taiwei Blessed Land was Ji Xuanshan. It was said that he entered reincarnation but failed to cultivate a successor, which is why the blessed land has no Nascent Soul cultivator of its own.

It turns out that they had been hiding deep within this blessed land, mostly pondering ways to prolong life.

"First you tricked me into trading for the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure, then you set an ambush to kill me and steal my treasure. Now you want an explanation? Fellow Daoist Zhong, you live in this blessed land all day long and are out of touch with the Earthly Immortal Realm. You probably don't even know what year it is now."

Bai Zichen was unyielding; what was there to fear from an elderly being who had joined forces with him?

"The lawsuit has gone all the way to Zhongji Immortal City, which is also a misfortune for your Taiwei Temple... Not making them pay even a wisp of Primordial Qi is already considered being lenient."

"They deliberately set a trap to lure those fools in; their intentions are despicable!"

Zhong Zhu only heard it once, but he knew that it was very likely true.

A rare and precious artifact is an irresistible temptation for the current Taiwei Blessed Land.

But how could anyone dare to attempt a fusion attack, unless the other party deliberately concealed their cultivation level and used themselves as bait?

He even suspected that this unfamiliar fusion was a trap set up by some sect with a bad relationship, designed to lure Taiwei Paradise into a trap.

"No matter what you think, even if this case goes all the way up to three provinces and nine courts, I'm still in the right..."

Bai Zichen didn't take this near-death cultivator of the same level seriously. If he wasn't worried that a fight would cause the blessed land to tremble and attract other Nascent Soul cultivators, he wouldn't have even said those few words.

"I reckon you can't produce the Primordial Qi Azure, so let me see the so-called Longevity Celestial Venerable's mark from the Taiwei Blessed Land as compensation."

"Too deceiving!"

Zhong Zhu was both annoyed and furious, truly believing that he was not capable of using his full strength.

Located on their home turf, Taiwei Blessed Land boasts a million-year history, with its grand formation perfected generation after generation and its restrictions layered upon layer.

Aside from him, the true master, the few disciples, including the Yellow-faced Taoist, could only activate a tiny fraction of what was at stake.

With a yank of two giant hands, the void was torn apart, and countless divine rays descended from the sky.

Crimson gold flames, dark blue ice, and crimson lightning... intertwined and surged back and forth, causing the mountain stream to shrink by three feet even before it was fully in the air.

Each ray of divine light was inscribed with ancient runes, and wherever it passed, space shattered like glass, revealing the void behind it.

It takes years of meticulous work by a Nascent Soul cultivator to set up such a restriction.

Throughout his life, he left behind only a few hundred, nearly a thousand, paths.

If I weren't nearing my death, I wouldn't be willing to spend my precious time on this.

At this moment, various divine lights descended, and at least half of the restrictions accumulated by the successive fusions of the Taiwei Blessed Land were released.

Its overwhelming power caused the mountain stream space to change in an instant, becoming chaotic and disorderly.

An extreme danger was approaching Bai Zichen, and his spiritual senses frantically issued a warning: this was an attack powerful enough to destroy a late-stage Fusion Realm cultivator.

It wasn't that Zhong Zhu was particularly strong; he merely served as a catalyst.

This is the foundation of a power that has been passed down for over 100,000 years. Without the strength of the Five Sons of Humanity, don't even think about shaking it.

It's just that it's easily depleted; after two or three waves like this, even the deepest foundation will be burned out.

Bai Zichen remained calm and composed, as if he were not the one facing a terrifying situation.

With a gentle breath, the innate youthful energy swept across the divine light, all of which lingered in mid-air for a moment.

For some reason, Zhong Zhu felt a strong sense of crisis, even though the scene was one of overwhelming force.

The concern is how to handle the aftermath of killing this stranger, and whether he has a prominent background.

As the gray aura spread, Zhong Zhu took out a banana leaf fan and fanned it vigorously, creating a gentle breeze in front and a cool breeze behind.

This treasure possesses wondrous properties; it doesn't just fan out ordinary winds, it blows back whatever kind of breath you have, regardless of its nature.

He made great contributions.

But as soon as they touched him, his expression changed drastically; his once youthful face was now covered in wrinkles.

"Time-Traveling Divine Power? How could it be the Time-Traveling Divine Power!"

As the place where the Celestial Venerable of Longevity rose to power, Taiwei Blessed Land could not possibly be unfamiliar with the Great Dao of Time. Zhong Zhu immediately sensed that something was amiss.

At his age, he cannot withstand the passage of time; even a slight setback will cause his lifespan to rapidly decline.

If he were to unleash even more powerful supernatural abilities, he might be reincarnated prematurely today, a result that Zhong Zhu would absolutely not want to see.

With the arrow already on the bowstring, the only way to break free from the current predicament is to strike the enemy in one fell swoop.

"open!"

In an instant, Zhong Zhu's two hands had traversed countless years, aged beyond recognition, devoid of any vitality, merely withered bones covered by a layer of skin.

A more dazzling, more brilliant, and more mesmerizing divine light was wailing; it was a sound that resonated with the Great Dao, terrifying enough to make one's primordial spirit tremble.

Bai Zichen raised his head, his eyes reflecting the magnificent and spectacular scene.

It is estimated that all the restrictions in the entire Taiwei Blessed Land were activated, leaving not a single one behind.

The time-manipulation technique did not frighten Zhong Zhu; instead, it aroused his ferocity, which was unexpected.

"In the end, only by wielding that sword can the conflict be ended..."

With his life-saving abilities intact, Bai Zichen remained carefree, even if the Taiwei Blessed Land was destroyed, it wouldn't matter to him.

Despite his efforts, things ultimately fell into the old pattern of being resolved in the same way, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

With his hand on the flying sword, his primordial spirit slightly tilted its gaze, stirring up the last remaining river of time.
