Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 379 The Three Treasures of the Immortal Emperor
As expected, the Soul-Slaying Sword completely ignored Yi Qing's commands.

However, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword, upon hearing Yi Dong and Yi Jun's orders, ceased their attacks and focused solely on defense.

Although the Emperor Sword no longer attacked the Xuanyuan Sword, it still transmitted its voice:

"How is this going?

"My attacks are already formidable, and with the added sharpness of Yi Jun's divine powers, I can cut through anything, not just physical objects, but even the ethereal Dao itself. I can cut through anything, so why can't I sever your timeline?"

The Xuanyuan Sword wasn't afraid of revealing its true power, because it was about to be upgraded to a supreme treasure and would soon become different. Even if the opponent knew its current abilities, they wouldn't be able to use them against it in the future. So it transmitted its voice:
"As I mentioned before, Yi Dong's blood flows within our swords, so we naturally possess some of his abilities."

"Before obtaining the Primordial Purple Apricot, Yi Dong was just an ordinary cultivator. Without the Primordial Purple Apricot, he probably wouldn't have even been able to establish his foundation in the Great Dao. What abilities did he have?"
"Could it be that you've obtained the power of the Primordial Purple Apricot, which means your comprehension has increased? But that doesn't make sense. We are not living beings; our spirituality is completely different from the comprehension of living beings. Our spirituality is closely related to our physical body. Before your sword body undergoes a qualitative change, your spirituality shouldn't have increased."

"Indeed, many people believe that Yi Dong's greatest strength is his comprehension."

That's true. Yi Dong lacks strong comprehension and is indeed a human cultivator with little future.

In reality, Yi Dong's greatest strength is not his comprehension, but his indestructible soul.

Yi Dong's soul power is not much stronger than that of an ordinary human cultivator, so he does not possess any soul supernatural abilities.

However, Yi Dong's soul underwent some unknown mutation, possessing a regenerative characteristic. No matter how damaged his soul was, it could recover, making it virtually indestructible.

Now you should understand, right?

The Emperor Sword immediately understood that it inherited the physical body and energy of the deceased True Spirit, while the Xuanyuan Sword inherited the power of the True Spirit's soul. The already powerful soul power was further enhanced by Yi Dong's powerful and indestructible soul power.

No wonder the Xuanyuan Sword is so much faster than the other twelve True Spirit Swords, reaching the limit of a spiritual treasure.

The Emperor Sword turned its attention to the Spirit Slaughtering Sword.

The spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword said:
"You're right. The Soul-Slaying Sword probably also possesses some of Yi Dong's soul abilities, so even though it splits into billions of sword spirits, it still has no weaknesses."

Similarly, my soul attacks pose no threat to its creations because the ability of the soul to regenerate exists within those creations.

As Yi Jun read through a large amount of information, the Heavenly Emperor Sword revealed that in the history of the Immortal Kingdom, there had been cultivators like Yi Dong whose souls were immortal. These cultivators were not actually that powerful, at least not as powerful as those cultivators who possessed forbidden supernatural powers.

After figuring it out, I still had some doubts, so I transmitted my thoughts.
"Since you know that Yi Dong has this soul characteristic, why don't you tell him how to make the most of this ability and let him create clones?"

Don't you know that beings with this kind of soul characteristic are best suited to the path of soul division?
It's not difficult for ordinary cultivators to cultivate the second primordial spirit, but the third primordial spirit can only be cultivated by those who have returned to the void or merged with the Dao. With this kind of soul ability, cultivating hundreds of primordial spirits is not difficult. If Yi Dong had cultivated hundreds of primordial spirits, why would he still be so weak now?

Moreover, since you possess this ability, why don't you forge sub-swords to form a mother-child sword formation?

The Xuanyuan Sword did not answer.

In fact, Xuanyuan Sword felt that Yi Dong probably knew about his soul characteristics, because a cultivator usually only refines one natal artifact, while Yi Dong refined more than one natal artifact. If he didn't know about his soul abilities, Yi Dong would not have done so.

However, it also knew that Yi Dong strongly resisted spells and supernatural powers such as splitting one's body or soul.

Although it was unclear why Yi Dong was so resistant to splitting his soul, seeing Yi Dong's insistence, the Xuanyuan Sword followed suit, focusing solely on strengthening itself and completely disregarding the possibility of creating a clone.

Xuanyuan Sword didn't want to say much about Yi Dong. Unlike itself, Yi Dong was still relatively weak. If too much was revealed, it wouldn't be good if Yi Jun or Tianhuang Sword leaked the information to Yi Dong's enemies.

Xuanyuan Sword also knew about various information about Zijin Mountain. Among the cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom, especially the powerful ones, the outcome of battles often did not depend on the strength of their supernatural powers, magic weapons, or spiritual treasures, but rather on the gap in information.

In the war between the Immortal Kingdom and the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm, the number of Great Dao Nascent Soul cultivators actually reached very few, far less than the number of those who had returned to the Void and merged with the Dao on the other side.

The fact that the legions of the Immortal Kingdom can deal with Returning to the Void and Harmonizing with the Dao is because many of those legions have cultivators responsible for collecting and processing information. Based on that information, the warships can deal with the enemy's various spells and supernatural powers.

Later in the war, the Immortal Kingdom had basically obtained information on most of the True Immortals who had returned to the Void and merged with the Dao in the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm. If the war continued, there would be no chance of victory. That is why they migrated to the Spirit Realm.

Meanwhile, the Great Awakening Puppet of Purple Gold Mountain was also doing its best to collect information on the powerful beings of the Vast Sea Spirit Realm, especially the Ice Dragon Clan and its subordinates.

Yi Dong is only at the foundation stage of the Great Dao. If his information is leaked, a being with special supernatural abilities might be able to deduce more and more complete information from a little bit of information, and thus kill Yi Dong from billions of miles away.

As far as Xuanyuan Sword knows, the Fish Intestine Sword has already forged this method of killing based on information, and it is believed that the Deadly Sword, which is the twin of the Fish Intestine Sword, has also conducted research in this area.

Although Yi Dong and Yi Jun are father and son, they may one day become enemies, so the Xuanyuan Sword will not reveal any information about Yi Dong.

Upon seeing the Emperor Sword, Xuanyuan Sword still wanted to communicate, but it didn't intend to continue. Instead, it transmitted its voice:
"The battle is over."

But then, the twenty-four True Spirit Swords below rose into the air together, their immense spiritual pressure causing the space to tremble.

Under these circumstances, even if the Spirit-Slaying Sword was unwilling, it had no choice but to restrain its ferocity. Soon, the Spirit-Slaying Sword collected all the creatures in the mist and also put away the blood vines, its true form slowly flying back to Yi Qing's side.

It turned out that Yi Dong and Yi Jun discovered that the Soul-Slaying Sword was showing signs of becoming uncontrollable, so they sent the True Spirit Sword to suppress it as well.

Even though the Spirit-Slaying Sword is a supreme treasure, it has no chance of winning against the twenty-six True Spirit Longswords. Therefore, seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Spirit-Slaying Sword immediately ceased its attack.

Seeing that Yi Qing had put away the Spirit-Slaying Sword, Yi Ling said:

"This Soul-Slaying Sword clearly intends to devour the Xuanyuan and Tianhuang Swords, but why hasn't the strongest Nine Netherworld Crow been unleashed?"

If the Nine Netherworld Crow were to make a move, given its formidable strength, it might be able to intercept the twenty-four True Spirit Longswords in a short time.

Yi Qing said:

"No law in the world can be effective against a true spirit for long. Even if the black mist has tainted the Nine Netherworld Crows for billions of years, the Nine Netherworld Crows will eventually break free of control once they awaken."

The number of times and the duration of the Soul-Slaying Sword's use of the Nine Netherworld Crows will cause its binding force on the Nine Netherworld Crows to weaken drastically.

Unless it's a critical moment, the Soul-Slaying Sword will not casually command the Nine Netherworld Crows.

In the battle against the Xuanyuan Sword and the Emperor Sword, the Spirit-Slaying Sword sees no hope of victory; it's currently only in a probing phase. Why would it summon the Nine Netherworld Crows to fight?

Just then, the Xuanyuan Sword beside Yi Dong shone brightly, and there was a sense of instability. A strange aura appeared between heaven and earth, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge violently.

This feeling was all too familiar to Yi Qing.
"The Xuanyuan Sword has actually been upgraded to a supreme treasure?"

At the same time, Yi Dong looked at the Xuanyuan Sword, then at the Kunshan Seal, or rather the Kunshan Imperial Seal, shining brightly in the belly of the mountain below, and finally looked up at the sky.

At this moment, to outsiders, the Xuanyuan Sword was a supreme treasure for advancement, but Yi Dong sensed a different aura.

He sensed a unique spiritual energy transferring from the Nine Heavens Ice Peak into the Xuanyuan Sword from the Frozen Continent.

Inexplicably, Yi Dong received some information from an unknown source.

The Kunshan Seal absorbed the sword energy of the Heavenly Emperor Sword and transformed into the Immortal Emperor Seal. Now, the Xuanyuan Sword has absorbed the essence of the Nine Heavens Ice Peak and become the new core of the Frozen Continent, and will transform into the supreme treasure, the Immortal Emperor Sword.

After the Immortal Emperor's Seal and the Immortal Emperor's Sword are born, Yi Dong will need to personally measure the mountains and rivers of the Frozen Continent, collect the aura of the mountains and rivers, refine the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and finally evolve it into the Immortal Emperor's Banner. Only when the three treasures of the Immortal Emperor are gathered together can the Frozen Continent truly become the land of Qingzhou.

"Isn't this a true transformation of the world?"
As one immortal city after another was established, the magnetic field of the entire Frozen Continent underwent drastic changes.

Originally, it was impossible for the Immortal Emperor's Seal, Immortal Emperor's Sword, and Immortal Emperor's Banner to be born in the Frozen Continent alone.

However, the Kunshan Seal and the Xuanyuan Sword were very suitable as embryos for the Immortal Emperor Seal and the Immortal Emperor Sword. Under the refinement of the magnetic field of heaven and earth, they naturally became the Immortal Emperor Seal and the Immortal Emperor Sword.

The Immortal Emperor Banner, however, arose after the Immortal Emperor Seal and the Immortal Emperor Sword had been completed.

After processing the information he had suddenly received, Yi Dong frowned slightly and looked at the sky in silence.

He didn't know if the heavens and earth had a will, but at that moment, he knew he was in trouble.

Because of the changes on the Frozen Continent, the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas will surely know.

If he only occupies the Frozen Continent, the Four Seas Dragon Clan might not be in a hurry to attack him. At least, they won't make a move until they have settled their score with the Ice Dragon Clan.

But now, he has begun to change the Frozen Continent, making it a suitable environment for humans. The Four Seas True Dragons are probably going to get restless.

"If the Four Seas Dragon Palace really attacks, it will be virtually impossible to defend the Frozen Continent."

Yi Dong was indeed somewhat at a loss for what to do.

It's completely impossible for him to give up everything for the Frozen Continent.

At that moment, all he could think of was running away.

"If all else fails, we'll have to escape to the mortal realm."

However, it's unclear whether Mu Mu has grasped the void coordinates of the mortal realm. If not, then the only option is to return to the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm once more.
