Born with immortal seed

Chapter 941 Transformation to Escape
The Medicine Buddha and the Precious Light Buddha looked at each other, their faces filled with shock, and spoke in unison.

This boundless power, unlike anything I've ever felt before, is far more terrifying than the Buddha who is currently attaining enlightenment; it's beyond imagination.

It is directly imbued with a primordial and ancient feel, sending chills down one's spine; it is a fear that is instinctively felt by all living beings.

Even though the two great Buddhas could not recall the previous scene, as long as they thought of the Black Dragon of Qi that they had killed some time ago and the several wandering demon gods, they quickly found the answer in their hearts.

Qinglong!

Only the Azure Dragon, the true spirit who disappeared in battle with the Heavenly Emperor and is revered as the progenitor by countless true dragons in the Heavenly Demon Realm, possesses such power!
"The Heavenly Emperor is about to return, and the Azure Dragon has already shown its claws. Is the Three Realms truly about to face the end of an era?"

The Medicine Buddha was filled with lingering fear, as he was the most ancient Buddha below the Buddha.

In the realm of Earthly Immortals, few cultivators can compare to him in terms of seniority.

He had heard the Buddha say that the end of the previous era stemmed from a great war between the true spirits and the ancient gods.

That was an ancient deity who had refined the Great Dao and integrated it into his body as a divine essence; he was also an eighth-order being.

Among the three thousand Great Daos, there are only three to five individuals with the eighth-order divine status.

The two sides fought a great battle, shattering the heavens and earth and swallowing everything.

Ultimately, it dragged the entire universe and countless living beings into eternal darkness.

The Great Dao collapsed, all things ceased to exist, and the Three Realms, possessing a glorious civilization, turned to dust.

After many cycles of time, heaven and earth reopened, and the Three Realms were re-enacted.

The True Spirits were clearly the victors of that great battle. Although some of their names disappeared, at least a few of them traversed eras and lived into the new era.

The protagonist of this era is clearly the human immortal, who cultivated through acquired means, nurtured his breath and nature, and reached the level of a true spirit. The Mahayana stage is a realm that has never appeared in previous eras.

According to the Buddha, he has already sensed the impending collapse of the era, which may be within a few million years.

If the great battle between Mahayana and True Spirit were to continue several times, the universe would be even more devastated, and the final calamity would be brought forward.

This is also why the Buddha's path was not yet perfect, and he had to take the opportunity to do so.

"Our Lord will surely succeed, save all living beings, and move on to the next era."

The Buddha of Precious Light, holding his large belly, scooped up several Arhats who were floating and sinking, and repeated the process.

"Amitabha! Among all the heavens and myriad realms, the Buddha is supreme."

The Pure Land collapsed, leaving only a small cluster, and the Buddha's light solidified and shone down.

However, Tianyuan was in complete chaos at this time, and there was no battle line to speak of.

……

The sea surface rippled, as if spitting out a Taoist priest, dressed in purple robes and a Taoist hat, his face as still as water.

His eyes darted between black and white, like yin and yang fish intertwined, chasing each other endlessly.

It took quite a while before they were allowed to enter.

"Finally out. I don't know how much time has passed... That demonic Buddha destroyed himself to drag me down with him. I almost died in the mortal realm. I'll never be able to hold my head up again."

Born for combat, Zi Fu Jing's incarnation, whose true realm had long been refined to the Void, almost suffered a setback in the mortal world; it's truly unimaginable.

Before descending to the realm, who would have thought that the small Hidden Dragon Realm would hide the Buddha's manifestation?

This lower realm, because it has gathered so many talented people, is quickly becoming a grand stage.

"If you kill me once and steal my life force during the tribulation, then if you really can't do that, then we'll both perish to overcome the tribulation and achieve perfect enlightenment."

In the final moments before the Demon Buddha vanished, the youth in purple gleaned a wealth of valuable information.

Presumably believing that it would soon perish here, the Demon Buddha ceased his vigilance and let his thoughts wander.

The path of Buddhist practice is quite different from that of the immortals, just as he still couldn't understand the benefits this brought to the Buddha.

"The Buddha actually has the ambition to attain the eighth rank. Judging from the timing, he has already begun to take action in the Earthly Immortal Realm... It's just that I didn't perish as he wished, and my Demon Buddha incarnation hasn't been fully completed. It seems difficult for me to attain the eighth rank!"

In fact, even if the purple-clad youth perished here, an avatar could not compare to the original, and was still far from meeting the Buddha's expectations.

As expected of Zi Fu Jing's incarnation, he was at the pinnacle of adaptability. Even though he was dragged down by the Demon Buddha, he still managed to carve out a bloody path with his Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes.

Then, using the Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot to perform the Pure Yang Sword Technique, a vibrant life force manifests amidst chaos, turning death into life.

Aside from taking up a lot of his time and not causing any real harm, it honed his swordsmanship and helped him reach new heights.

Returning to the Immortal Realm and verifying with one's true self can be of great help.

"If the Buddha's incomplete body is drawn when he draws his sword at the Execution Platform, his ascension will surely fail... It wasn't a wasted trip down to the mortal realm. When he returns to the Earthly Immortal Realm, he may be very close to unraveling the mystery."

The purple-clad youth sealed these two sentences within a vast sword intent, so that even if he was forcibly forgotten upon returning to the Earthly Immortal Realm, he would naturally recall them when practicing the Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot.

After packing up, they set off to fly inland.

……

On Rotten Axe Mountain, the sounds of sword fighting and magical combat grew louder and louder, causing the formation to sway left and right, teetering on the brink of collapse.

The two Nascent Soul sword cultivators were locked in fierce combat, their swords flashing, each displaying a level of sword light differentiation.

The green-robed swordsman had four flying swords swirling around him, each corresponding to one of the four elements, with each sword having its own emphasis on a particular element.

They cooperated with each other, unleashing exquisite sword techniques from various angles, with numerous variations along the way.

Combined with the splitting sword light, the battlefield was filled with dazzling sword light, almost overwhelming the opponent.

Huang Shanren wielded only one sword, his expression focused, and no matter how fierce the attacks he faced, he simply swung his sword away.

Although he also possessed the ability to differentiate sword light, he was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of flying swords, and would definitely be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation using the same method.

When it is swung out, it may change in countless ways, like waves rising and falling, but in the end only one sword remains.

The sword flashed, and the fallen fell instantly.

It wasn't exactly exquisite, nor was it stunning, but each strike precisely cut into the gaps between the sword lights.

As the sword tip touched the ground, the seemingly magnificent and colorful sword light of the green-robed sword immortal dimmed slightly.

After a hundred moves, the balance of power began to tilt.

"Who is this person? I've never heard of such a divine sword technique before!"

Among the cultivators watching the battle, several looked tense, their expressions changing with the situation.

Two of them remained calm and composed, even with a hint of schadenfreude in their smiles.

"Elder Yin, Lü Zhengtao comes from a mid-level cultivation family in the Northern Region. He was known as a sword genius from the time he reached the Foundation Establishment stage... After reaching the Core Formation stage, he tested his sword in the Northern Region, winning more battles than he lost."

Bai Xinzhang took a deep breath. He had never even heard of such a person, Qingfeng Sect elder. This showed how arrogant he was and how far removed he was from the cultivation world.

"His Nascent Soul stage was around the same time as Senior Brother Tian's, both within a hundred years. Since then, he has won three consecutive sword duels with others, making rapid progress. Cultivators in the Northern Region all say that he has the style of an ancestor."

"Nonsense! Just because someone is an outstanding sword immortal doesn't mean they have the style of an ancestor. They're not even a Great True Monarch yet, what right do they have to claim that!"

Elder Yin glared and puffed out his beard, as if he had been greatly insulted.

"The more I look at this sword technique, the more familiar it seems. How come it's so similar to the Heavenly Inquiry Sword Technique?"

As an elder of the Transmission Hall, it's impossible to be proficient in all the techniques, but one can have a general impression.

After much thought, I finally found the reason for the familiarity: the essence of the sword technique and the Heavenly Inquiry Sword Technique are from the same source, and their sword principles are similar.

The stronger one's belief, the better one's swordsmanship.

Huang Shanren imbued his sword with unwavering conviction, imbuing each strike with the intent to annihilate and sever, achieving an exquisite level of mastery that begs the question: what kind of swordsmanship could achieve such a feat?

"Our ancestors lived in the Northern Region for a long time and helped rebuild the Heavenly River Sword Sect, giving away a large number of sword techniques... It's normal that those sword techniques were learned by others in the Northern Region."

Bai Xinzhang felt a little bitter, as he was a direct descendant of the Bai family but had not inherited their talent for swordsmanship.

Even if the immortal descendant awakens, it only enhances their talent for refining spiritual energy and comprehending cultivation techniques.

I invested time in Kendo but didn't get much positive feedback, so I had to give up with regret.

The Qingfeng Sect produced two undisputed number one swordsmen, the Time Sword Lord and the Five Elements Sword Lord, who both ascended to the upper realm, causing the Qinglian Sword Sect to lose its title as the number one sword sect in the cultivation world.

It has become a sacred place in the hearts of countless cultivators who dream of becoming sword immortals, and just as many sword cultivators attempt to use defeating the Qingfeng Sect as a stepping stone to advancement.

This situation became increasingly frequent after the Five Elements Sword Lord ascended to immortality.

In order to maintain the reputation of the First Sword Sect, the Qingfeng Sect could not refuse them all, since the sword cultivators who came to visit usually claimed to admire the two Sword Lord seniors and came specifically to exchange and learn from them.

Lu Zhengtao came with the Grand Elder of the Qinglian Sword Sect to discuss the great demon Hanqiu, who had recently caused floods along the eastern coast, resulting in the displacement of more than 100,000 mortals.

A true disciple of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, who was traveling, was captured by that cold dragon, and they were about to come to discuss how to deal with him.

After agreeing to jointly send troops to encircle and kill Han Qiu as soon as possible, the Grand Elder of the Qinglian Sword Sect casually mentioned Lü Zhengtao, saying that this junior had come to the Sword Sect for exchanges last month and defeated the Qinglian Holy Son.

The Grand Elder, moved by his unwavering devotion to the sword, brought Lü Zhengtao to Rotten Axe Mountain, hoping to witness the unparalleled sword legacy of the Sword Master of Time.

Once the Qingfeng Sect is put on the spot, it's hard to disagree.

Only Tian Rang, the most outstanding swordsman among the young True Monarchs, could fight him. He even specially brought out a set of four flying swords from the secret hall, thinking that he could at least maintain a 50/50 chance.

Unexpectedly, Lü Zhengtao's swordsmanship surpassed expectations, reaching an extremely high level of mastery in the technique of "one sword can break all laws".

The key point is that the sword technique passed down by the White Ancestor is being used, but it has been popularized by outsiders. Wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment?

Snapped!
Tian Rang opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. A sword light broke through his defenses, circled around his neck, and left, leaving only a chill in his heart.

In a life-or-death struggle, this move would severely injure him.

His proud swordsmanship talent and the praise from his fellow disciples were shattered by an unknown rogue cultivator.

"Very well, both of you young friends are outstanding in swordsmanship. This trip has been worthwhile!"

The Grand Elder of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect clapped his hands and laughed, shattering the unsettling silence.

"New talents emerge in every generation. We are getting old, and the glory of swordsmanship still needs to be shouldered by young people."

"Brother Lü's sword heart is as firm as iron, and his sword intent is pure. I, Tian, ​​am willing to admit defeat."

With a gloomy face, Tian Rang didn't continue to insist and simply admitted defeat.

The opponent's sword intent pierced his sea of ​​consciousness, causing sharp and fierce pain, yet it was as solid as someone who had only been a Nascent Soul cultivator for a hundred years.

He had only ever seen such sword intent in the favored disciple of Patriarch Song of the North Sea Palace.

Within the Qingfeng Sect, there are several individuals whose strength surpasses that of Lü Zhengtao, but in terms of swordsmanship alone, it would be difficult to find someone who can match him unless one were recruited from the Beihai Palace.

"I grew up listening to the legends of the Sword Lords of Time. I only regret that I was born a thousand years too late and have no chance to see the two sword lords in person. It would be good to be a sword attendant."

Lu Zhengtao wiped his longsword with his sleeve without looking up, as if he were sighing with regret.

"Throughout the entire Qingfeng Sect, there is not a single person who has received the true teachings and has allowed me to witness the Sword Lord's prowess."
