Born with immortal seed

Chapter 99 Second Inheritance
As soon as Bai Zichen placed his hand on a talisman adorned with flowers and birds, he suddenly felt an inexplicable connection with the inheritance stele.

I felt as if I had fallen into a long river with no end in sight, enveloped by this ancient and profound feeling, just like returning to the day ten years ago when I received the inheritance from the stone tablet.

"Bone age of 22 years old, does not meet the requirements for inheritance... A special spiritual entity not found in the database has been detected, and a second inheritance can be performed!"

The ethereal, emotionless voice rang out, and Bai Zichen was shocked. He had actually broken through the age limit and activated the inheritance stone tablet again at the age of over twenty.

"Three spiritual roots of earth, fire, and wood, low grade!"

"Cultivation level: Qi Refining Ninth Level, High Grade!"

"Spell talent assessment...low-grade!"

"Comprehension level... Mid-grade!"

"Compared with the 1,302 bloodlines in the database... no special bloodline found, inferior!"

"Compared with the fifty-three types of spirits in the library... suspected to be a mutated merit golden body spirit, Heavenly Grade!"

The familiar inscription on the heritage stone tablet, after ten years, once again assesses Bai Zichen.

All other changes were minor details; the most important thing was that the spirit was identified as a mutated merit golden body spirit and given an unprecedented heavenly grade evaluation.

Bai Zichen had previously asked Chen Wei about the spiritual bodies she and Su Li received from the inheritance stone tablet. Both of them were rated as top-grade, equivalent to his own pseudo-merit golden body spiritual body.

"Both tests were conducted by myself, so why are there different results... Could it be that as my cultivation level increases, more of the true spiritual qualities of my body are revealed, which are detected by the inheritance stone tablet, thus leading to different evaluations?"

In Bai Zichen's mind, he felt time slow down and was guessing all sorts of possibilities when a ball of white light rushed toward him.

Having had experience, he knew this was a legacy he had received, and he actively accepted it, as a torrent of information filled his mind.

Meanwhile, on the stone tablet outside, a flash of bright wisdom sword light appeared, and another crack appeared at the top of the tablet, which continued to split downwards for more than three zhang before stopping.

Fortunately, everyone was in the front courtyard on the first floor at that moment, and no one noticed the strange phenomenon of the inheritance stone tablet on the third floor of the Five Sacred Mountains Temple.

The extraordinary phenomenon of inheritance that everyone had been eagerly anticipating during the day appeared at night, and it even happened to a true disciple who had already received the inheritance and was over the age limit.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zichen opened his eyes, took a few steps in a daze, and collapsed to the ground.

This time, the amount of content in my sea of ​​consciousness was much greater than the two inheritances I received last time; it almost burst.

Like Zuli before her, she had been in a coma for many days.

Fortunately, his spiritual strength far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level, which allowed him to barely withstand wave after wave of attacks.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his face was already deathly pale, and his back was soaked with sweat.

"The Enlightenment Sword Technique... It seems even the inheritance stone tablet is helping me, knowing that I intend to develop along the path of sword cultivation."

Bai Zichen shamelessly stuck himself to the inheritance stone tablet to keep himself from falling.

The evaluation of a spirit body at the Heavenly Rank must be far superior to the gains from the last inheritance, right?

The Wuzhen Sword Technique is a sword technique born from the heart, with simple and unadorned moves. Upon mastering it, one can possess the talent of "Sword Heart Clarity," a mind as clear as a mirror, capable of dismantling all sword paths in the world.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness lay a vast sword manual, containing over a hundred sword techniques layered upon each other, interwoven and interconnected.

The entire sword manual was too vast in content; Bai Zichen had only read the first section.

Sword Heart Clarity is not a state of swordsmanship, but a talent.

Sword cultivators with this talent are born with the ability to see through all sorts of mysterious sword techniques, and are not misled by external things, giving them a great advantage in sword cultivator duels.

But I've never heard of the talent of "Sword Heart Clarity" being able to be acquired through practicing sword techniques.

This "Wuzhen Sword Manual" actually contains nearly a hundred sword techniques, a vast and complex collection, making it a veritable encyclopedia of sword techniques.

He couldn't even imagine how much time it would take to truly master the Wuzhen Sword Technique.

"But even if we disregard the talent of Sword Heart Clarity, the contents of the Enlightenment Sword Manual are still of immense value... Any one of the sword techniques could probably be ranked among the top-tier sword techniques. This sword manual is probably a treasure even among the inheritance stone tablets."

Bai Zichen had a strange feeling that his single act of passing on the legacy would cause more damage to the legacy stone tablet than the fifty people he had done during the day.

After resting for a long time, he finally sat up straight again. The throbbing pain in his mind had subsided by more than half, and his face returned to calm.

He had already made up his mind that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he would choose a suitable sword technique to slowly cultivate and further enhance his combat strength.

As for mastering the entire Wuzhen Sword Manual, he probably won't even consider it before advancing to the Core Formation Realm and gaining a long lifespan.

"There's another point to note. Even the inheritance stone tablet determined that my spiritual body is different from the Golden Body of Merit. Now that I've received a Heavenly Grade evaluation, it must be because some of the effects I exhibit surpass those of the Golden Body of Merit... Unfortunately, I've already read all the records of spiritual bodies in the sect, and the Golden Body of Merit is the most suitable one."

"The ability to eliminate bottlenecks is such a heaven-defying effect. As long as a spirit has ever appeared, it will definitely be recorded... At the very least, it proves that no spirit has ever appeared in Liang Kingdom or even the wider cultivation world, which is why there is not a single record of it."

The lack of records is both a good thing and a bad thing.

This indirectly confirms that one's own spiritual body is very likely to be of a higher level than the Merit Golden Body spiritual body, possessing even greater divine abilities.

The downside is that you're unsure of the limits of this spirit and whether it has any negative effects.

"At least so far, the spirits have only brought me benefits, so there's no need to worry too much."

Bai Zichen walked back to the front yard. The banquet was not over yet, and there were still many people toasting.

"That's fine. No one knows that I went to the third floor and triggered the strange phenomenon on the stone tablet, which gave me another sword manual."

Although Bai Zichen disliked the environment, he could understand that Peng Chong was doing it for the benefit of Qingfeng Sect.

He maintains his orthodox Taoist style, which may be ridiculed by outside cultivators as hypocrisy and moral guardianship, but in all honesty, if he had a choice, he would definitely prefer to stay in the Qingfeng Sect rather than in an environment like the Guiling Sect.

At least the Qingfeng Sect has strict sect rules, and although there are some underhanded and despicable acts among the disciples, the vast majority still have a bottom line.

Unlike the cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who, even within their own sect, constantly worry about being captured by elders to be refined into the main soul of the Hundred Ghost Banner, or dying from the betrayal of their fellow disciples and becoming flesh and blood puppets.

Every cave within the sect must be equipped with a strict array.

Even between Daoist couples and their disciples, there is absolutely no trust.

However, the downside is that despite having the intention to guard against the five major cultivation families, especially the Fire Phoenix Mo Clan whose members reproduce at an astonishing rate, they cannot openly use any excessive means.

They could only secretly win over some weaker cultivation families, providing them with conveniences so that they could hinder the progress of the cultivation families.

Master Yang agreed to allow the five outside families to enter, largely for this reason, so that they could check and balance each other.

"In fact, as long as we maintain an overwhelming advantage at the Core Formation level, the cultivation families below will not be able to cause any trouble... If a sect produces a Nascent Soul True Monarch, these problems will not even be considered minor ailments. It is the Fire Phoenix Mo family and a few others that should be worried all the time."

"Great power resides within its own world; ultimately, it all depends on the strongest individual..."
