Born with immortal seed

Chapter 270 Everything is as usual

"If what you say is true, and all the barriers on the path to Nascent Soul have been cleared with the help of special external forces, and all that remains is to proceed, then the time required will depend on the cultivation method..."

Master Ge Cang's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by a solemn one.

"It may take a dozen years or more, or even sixty years... Once you survive the Heavenly Tribulation, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will reward you and nurture you, and you will soon be able to stabilize your Nascent Soul realm."

"If we take the middle number, wouldn't we be facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch filled with murderous intent in twenty or thirty years...? The demonic cultivators' path of cultivation is against the natural order, is it possible that they will be struck dead by heavenly lightning during their tribulation!"

Wei Dao gasped in shock; in the Liang Kingdom, a Nascent Soul True Monarch was the absolute ruler.

Even sects like the Holy Lotus Sect cannot guarantee that they will have a Nascent Soul True Monarch in every generation.

If the Blood God True Man truly returns to Liang Kingdom at the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, as long as he doesn't show an attitude of wanting to exterminate everyone, not only the Righteous Alliance, but even the Myriad Beasts Sect won't have any intention of resisting him.

"The Heavenly Tribulation of the Demonic Path is difficult to overcome, referring to those quick-fix cultivators who modify their cultivation techniques in a mess in order to take shortcuts... Blood God True Man's technique is clearly authentic demonic, and its exquisiteness is no less than that of the orthodox Xuanmen method. The damage amplified by the Heavenly Tribulation to him may not be as great as imagined."

Master Ge Cang did not place his hopes on the heavenly tribulation, but made the worst-case scenario plan.

"Within twenty years, I will be able to break through to the peak of Core Formation... but my theory of alchemy is not yet perfected, and I have not yet refined the magic treasure to resist the mind. Even with the acquired Thunder God Pearl, it will be too difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I can't even guarantee 30% success."

"As for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Master Fang has fought several battles head-on with Master Blood God... With Master Blood God returning, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect should be more worried than we are."

Wei Dao put forward another idea: with the return of the Blood God True Man, Qingfeng Sect would not be the only one facing the risk of survival.

"We will inform them of this matter. After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had a fourth-tier spirit beast guarding their territory in the past. They might have a way to confront a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

"It's difficult. Not to mention whether the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will believe it, a fourth-tier spirit beast is not a Nascent Soul True Monarch. What trump cards or tricks could it possibly have left behind?"

Master Ge Cang shook his head slightly, not optimistic about it.

"However, I still want to let you know so that I can make a personal trip later. I believe Fellow Daoist Fang will have more faith in me."

"I have a secret technique that can threaten even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but it will take ninety years to master..."

Bai Zichen hadn't expected that the time required to form a nascent soul would be so short, while the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was still far from ready.

Apart from this method, even if he were to reactivate the original power of the Moon Swirl Sword, he could at most be comparable to the strongest Core Formation Perfection cultivator for a short period of time.

There is still an insurmountable gap between them and the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"Junior Brother Bai possesses such a divine ability; he must have reached the realm of 'one sword can break all laws'..."

Master Ge Cang was slightly surprised, but he didn't doubt that Bai Zichen was exaggerating.

It is assumed that this junior brother Bai will make another breakthrough in swordsmanship. Ninety years later, he will have at least the late stage of Core Formation cultivation, and with the completion of sword refining into silk, he will have mastered the technique of breaking through all laws with one sword.

With the sharpness of a fourth-tier flying sword, there is indeed a high chance of injuring a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

It is inherently fragile; a single blow from a Nascent Soul True Monarch could destroy it and kill it.

"You don't need to panic too much. However, I might be able to deal with a Nascent Soul True Monarch who has just survived the Heavenly Tribulation, even if I risk my life... If Blood God True Man wants to slaughter my Qingfeng Sect, he should be prepared to pay a price!"

Bai Zichen really wanted to tell Master Ge Cang that he had misunderstood. He had not even mastered the Sword Qi Thunder Sound, let alone forged the sword into silk, let alone broken all laws with a single sword.

However, a peerless sword genius recognized by the entire Tianhe Sword Sect dared to confidently say that he would have the means to threaten a Nascent Soul True Monarch within a hundred years, not long after he formed his core. Any normal person would only think of him in the direction of sword realm.

'Senior Brother Ge is actually confident that he can contend with a newly promoted Nascent Soul True Monarch at the cost of his life, and even make the opponent pay a price... Even if the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder Net has a restraining effect on demonic cultivators, his greater reliance should be on the Five Crystal Glazed Body from the fourth level.'

Ge Cang Zhenren's almost arrogant words eased Bai Zichen's anxiety by a little.

Consider that even the second level of the Five Crystal Glazed Body has the additional supernatural power of lowering one's cultivation level to activate the Glazed Fire God Body. Does that mean that it won't exist after cultivating to the fourth level?

Using the towering Jianmu tree as nourishment, it is offered to the body of the Crystal Fire God to quell the wrathful flames of the Burning Heaven.

Judging from Ge Cang Zhenren's tone, this will be a supernatural power with extremely negative effects, not just as simple as lowering the cultivation level.

Perhaps it is necessary to pay the price of one's life to obtain the supreme power to truly fight beyond one's level.

Wei Dao looked at this and then at that, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

I don't understand when the Nascent Soul True Monarch became so weak. A little while later, Junior Brother Bai said that he had a secret technique that could threaten the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Then, Senior Brother Ge added that even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch wanted to destroy the Qingfeng Sect, he would have to pay a considerable price.

This discussion concerns a Nascent Soul True Monarch, an being who can guide the course of a nation and control the fate of billions of living beings.

Given that powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are hard to find, Nascent Soul True Monarchs represent the pinnacle of combat power in the cultivation world. How come they seem so easy to deal with?

"What other preventative measures should we take?"

Unable to participate in topics beyond his understanding, Wei Dao began to think that the two were no longer on the same level as him.

"Everything will proceed as usual. If a Nascent Soul True Monarch were to attack, what could those disciples do? Leaking the news would only add to the chaos... The sect will proceed according to the established plan. We will take down that Thunder Cliff next month and use it as Junior Brother Bai's cultivation cave."

Master Ge Cang has recovered from the shock of learning the news.

"In addition, the three of us should keep an eye out for information on high-level formations and secret treasures of the fourth rank or above... Only such things can be used to deal with Nascent Soul True Monarchs."

The Qingfeng Sect's mountain-guarding formation is a top-grade Tier 3 Two Elements Illusion Moon Formation, and another Tier 3 formation has been placed on Feiyue Lake.

Inside the secret hall, only the last third-order formation remained.

However, when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even the Two Elements Illusion Moon Formation was insufficient and could not last long.

Only a fourth-order grand formation, paired with a spiritual treasure, can withstand the attacks of a Nascent Soul True Monarch for a very long time, even if it is only maintained by a Core Formation True Person.

Of the numerous treasures in the secret hall, only the gourd of Earth Divine Sand posed the slightest threat to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

At that time, it will unleash all its power, releasing the full essence of Earth.

In addition, with such a large number, it can draw upon a great deal of earth vein power, which even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would have to treat with caution.

"Here."

Master Ge Cang's statement gave people a sense of security; even if Master Blood God returned to Liang Kingdom, it would not be the end of Qingfeng Sect.

……

Thunder Cliff.

This place has almost never been set foot in by cultivators; it is practically a forbidden area for Black Mountain cultivators.

With a third-tier demon king in charge and dozens of second-tier flying demon beasts roaming around, it means that once you get trapped here, it's a dead end and even escape is out of the question.

But today is different. Several warships floated in the air, and nearly fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators stormed up Thunder Cliff, their murderous aura soaring to the sky.

The sharp, urgent cries of birds were incessant, and every now and then, the blood of a demon beast would spill across the sky, its feathers flying wildly.

One after another, the golden-winged thunder rocs fell towards the ground, and the dark shadows in the air rapidly diminished.

On the other hand, the Foundation Establishment cultivators had a numerical advantage and were also protected by warships.

Once it falls into a disadvantageous position, a beam of light will be fired at the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, forcing it back.

Coupled with their numerical advantage in cultivators, as well as their talismans, magical treasures, and other means, the number of Golden-Winged Thunder Rocs still flying in the arena has dwindled to less than twenty.

"Senior Brother Lu, be careful these beasts don't try to escape!"

Tong Huan withdrew his sword, his body covered in the blood of a demon beast. He and Lu Song had just joined forces to kill a Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.

"Don't worry, not many will escape!"

The five warships behind them gradually dispersed, with light nets forming between each one. A golden-winged thunder roc crashed into one of them, letting out a scream, and several of its feathers were charred.

"It seems like Thunder Cliff is easier to deal with than Green Ox Valley. Did the sect choose the wrong target for development back then? They should have taken this place long ago... We don't have to go around Thunder Cliff when we go out, and it's much closer to many places!"

Long Qi, who was nearby, flew over. His arm was slashed, and a cut had stained his entire sleeve red.

However, he looked excited and showed no fear or worry whatsoever about the pioneering war.

"Back in the day, our sect wasn't nearly as strong as it is today. We were lucky if we could even muster half of our Foundation Establishment cultivators... The key is, who could trap the Demon King? He never managed to break out of the cliff top, and we didn't even get a glimpse of him!"

Tong Huan pointed to the summit of Thunderclap Cliff, where violent fluctuations and booming sounds proved that a fierce battle was taking place.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc is a high-grade third-tier demon beast that has mastered lightning escape. Ordinary Core Formation cultivators can only be toyed with by it and cannot keep up with its speed.

Back then, Master Ge Cang fought a great battle with this demon king and gained the upper hand, but he was no match for the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King.

Even if a third-tier Golden-Winged Thunder Roc wanted to escape, he could only watch helplessly, unable to catch up.

But the current situation is different.

Ge Cang Zhenren cultivated the Five Crystal Glazed Body to the fourth level, mastering the ability to travel to distant places in a short distance. This allows him to move at a speed that is almost instantaneous over short distances, enough to keep up with the lightning escape of a third-tier Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.

More importantly, he also had two junior brothers supporting him.

Even if the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King wanted to escape, as long as Wei Dao and Bai Zichen stopped him, he would be pulled back to the battlefield by True Person Ge Cang.

"Divine thunder is born and dies, and there is spirit within thunder... Senior Brother Ge's thunder technique seems to be taking another big step towards the path of thunder technique giving birth to spirits and nurturing life from extinction, just as Yan Yuanzai said? No wonder he only said that his theory of alchemy was not yet perfected and that he had not refined the magic treasures to resist the mind, without mentioning whether he had touched the true meaning of the Great Dao. It turns out that he had already embarked on this path long ago."

Bai Zichen's sword light flashed, accurately striking the spot where the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King was preparing to escape with lightning escape, forcing it back into the Divine Thunder Net.

This powerful third-tier superior-grade demon beast, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, which could escape unscathed even against 99% of cultivators at the Core Formation stage, unfortunately encountered Ge Cang Zhenren, whose control over lightning was even greater than its own.

Even the activation of Lightning Release was noticeably delayed.

Not to mention Bai Zichen's Sword Heart Clarity talent, even Wei Dao could see through it and stopped it several times.
