Born with immortal seed

Chapter 299 Third-Order Forbidden-Breaking Talisman

A silver streak appeared from the western horizon and landed in front of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Gorge in the blink of an eye.

A gaunt and thin cultivator emerged from the spirit boat, and a large number of Black Mountain cultivators prostrated themselves, shouting in unison, "Ancestor Ge!"

"I watched as the Hehuan Sect withdrew from Hejian County, and I was wondering whether to leave Fairy Lianyu here... Unexpectedly, True Man Suihan appeared and asked for her permission, so I gave him face and let the Hehuan Sect disciple go."

Bai Zichen put away the Seeking Truth Boat and flew towards Ge Cang Zhenren. Upon hearing this, he asked in surprise, "Is it the Venerable Master Suihan of the Ice Soul Palace?"

"It is this person. Master Suihan and Senior Brother Yang are cultivators of the same era. Back when I was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I had the opportunity to pay my respects to Senior Brother Yang."

After entering Hejian County, the three of them had their own tasks. Ge Cang Zhenren's task was to ensure that no Core Formation level forces in the county would affect Qingfeng Sect's subsequent mountain-climbing and sect-breaking efforts.

"This Master Suihan is truly young at heart despite his age. I've never heard of this old man among Fairy Lianyu's famous patrons."

Bai Zichen spoke with a playful tone, his voice full of teasing.

Master Suihan is a renowned immortal cultivator in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world, nearly five hundred years old.

However, cultivators of the Ice Soul Palace have always lived longer than others, supposedly because their cultivation techniques have the wonderful effect of prolonging life.

In addition, he had mistakenly ingested a magical herb with a thousand auspicious omens when he was young, which could extend his lifespan by another hundred years.

Both of them spent over two hundred years cultivating to the perfect Core Formation realm, making them, along with Fang Tiansheng of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, arguably the two most senior Core Formation cultivators in the Liang Kingdom.

However, Master Suihan has few records of fighting against others, and the Ice Soul Palace is somewhat similar to the Green Maple Sect, living in a secluded corner and not interacting with other forces.

Its true strength remains shrouded in mystery.

“It seems that Master Suihan is not fond of women and would not be easily seduced. There may be another reason why he came forward to plead for mercy.”

Not wanting to discuss the senior cultivators further, True Person Ge Cang turned the topic back to the situation in the arena.

"Junior Brother Bai has been stationed here for several days. I'm afraid there's less than one in a hundred disciples in the Ghost Spirit Sect who still have the will to fight to the death with the sect... Why don't we make a move now and break this Ten Thousand Ghosts Vengeful Spirit Formation?"

"Senior Brother Ge's suggestion is certainly what I wish for... but it's just that one person's strength is insufficient to break a third-order grand formation."

Bai Zichen patted the White Bone Cold Light Sword in his hand and said with a light laugh.

"The Ten Thousand Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation is a high-grade third-tier formation. Senior brother, do you have a foolproof plan? Don't let people laugh at my two methods."

"With this talisman, this formation is nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs to the two of us."

Master Ge Cang held a dark ink talisman, which was dim and seemed to have swallowed up all the light in the vicinity.

"A third-tier barrier-breaking talisman!"

Bai Zichen sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the small talisman, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately reacted.

The barrier-breaking talisman is a powerful weapon against all kinds of formations and restrictions. Unlike ordinary methods of breaking formations, it does not follow the logic of formations.

It shook the earth's veins and tore apart the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, creating flaws and loopholes in the formation through the most violent and direct means.

In terms of crafting difficulty, the Forbidden Breaking Talisman ranks first among talismans of the same level.

In any case, even if an ordinary third-tier talisman master tries hundreds or thousands of times, they may not be able to successfully draw a third-tier barrier-breaking talisman.

The Ten Thousand Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation is a high-grade third-tier formation. At most, a single third-tier barrier-breaking talisman can only cause the formation to falter and become malfunctioning for a few dozen breaths.

Hoping to directly destroy the formation and cause it to fall apart is impossible.

As long as the Core Formation cultivator guarding the formation maintains the core of the formation and reconnects with the earth's veins using their own true essence, the endless flow of heaven and earth energy will allow the formation to function again.

But when there are two killing gods outside the formation, all of this becomes a pipe dream.

He ordered all Black Mountain cultivators to retreat thirty miles. Ge Cang Zhenren's eyes swept across the Ten Thousand Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation like lightning, and he affixed the Xuanmo talisman to one of the formation's key points.

As the barrier-breaking talisman was activated, it first silently stirred up ripples in the light screen, which then turned into raging waves.

The great formation let out a mournful cry, and the entire Ten Thousand Ghosts Gorge seemed to shake, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

A burst of ink-like light shot into the sky, and countless ghosts and spirits vanished into thin air, their numbers so dense that their hairs stood on end.

Each tremor caused the mysterious Yin energy surrounding the unfathomable depths of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Valley to dissipate and become thinner.

Master Ge Cang's expression was solemn. He pointed both fingers to the sky, and the lightning-struck wooden staff was stretched out in the air, guiding the gathering of lightning power.

Several acres of thunderclouds gathered and took shape, with endless bolts of lightning drilling in and out of them, and in an instant the area expanded dozens of times.

Bolts of divine lightning fell, and everything struck by the deep blue thunder was utterly destroyed.

With its overwhelming power, the force of destruction was so great that nothing could escape its annihilation.

The third-tier grand formation that had protected the Ghost Spirit Gate for thousands of years was now showing signs of weakness, with a large amount of Xuan Yin Ghost Qi completely dissipating, revealing the scene inside the formation.

These myriad divine thunderbolts, this boundless ocean of lightning, perfectly showcased Ge Cang Zhenren's true mastery of thunder magic.

On that day on Xiaoluo Mountain, the Thunder Sea was absorbed by the Thunder-Swallowing Whale, which was transformed from the White Bone True Man's secret treasure.

He then obtained Yan Rulong's burning Nascent Soul True Monarch's secret treasure, which created an effect that was almost like words becoming law, thus eliminating the use of thunder magic.

It did not fully reveal the realm of thunder magic possessing spirit, yin and yang in harmony, and immortality.

At this moment, only by fighting against a third-tier high-grade formation with one's own strength can a perfect platform be provided.

"I happened to play with the flying sword and destroyed the first peak in Zhongnan."

Bai Zichen recited a famous verse passed down by a Nascent Soul sword cultivator from the Taibai Sword Sect ten thousand years ago, and two sword lights flew out from the sword box.

The Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators must have invested a large amount of high-grade spirit stones, allowing the Myriad Ghosts' Fierce Soul Array to reconnect with the earth veins so quickly after suffering heavy damage from the third-tier barrier-breaking talisman.

Just as the formation was about to recover and the effect of the barrier-breaking talisman was about to disappear, Bai Zichen made a move.

Firstly, the moonlight is like water, nourishing hundreds of miles.

One side exudes a chilling aura, while the other side gleams with the light of swords.

He usually used two flying swords of the same rank when he used two swords at the same time. This was the first time he had combined a third-rank flying sword and a fourth-rank flying sword together to use them together.

Before even making a move, I could feel the disharmony and imbalance between the two, unable to blend perfectly together, not even achieving the effect of one plus one.

"The difference between a third-tier flying sword and a fourth-tier flying sword is too great. We must distinguish between primary and secondary swords in order to unleash their maximum power..."

With a thought flashing through his mind, Bai Zichen had already merged with the sword light, and a streak of moonlight shot into the sky, sweeping across thousands of feet.

At the same time, the light of white bone swords followed closely behind, creating a desolate and bleak scene.

He unleashed the full power of both flying swords without holding back, wanting to see just how far he could go in his extreme state.

In the instant before the battle, the moonlight accelerated again, transforming into hundreds of silken sword lights that pierced countless holes in the great array that had been blasted transparent by the divine lightning.

It is a consensus in the cultivation world that a third-tier grand formation, when combined with a Core Formation cultivator, makes an opponent who is not a Nascent Soul True Monarch virtually impregnable.

But today, an exception has been made!

The third-order grand formation melted away like snow meeting fire, instantly creating a chain reaction. From the large hole several feet in diameter to the collapse of several array eyes, a quarter of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Ravine was exposed to the Black Mountain cultivators.

The lingering power of the moonlight did not diminish, and it directly rushed through the entire Ten Thousand Ghosts Gorge, shattering the entire Ten Thousand Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation.

Those below the Core Formation stage were stunned into silence by the White Bone Sword Light, and at least twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators died under its blade.

The number of Qi Refining disciples is countless.

"With the power of the Moon Swirl Sword's origin, I am only a hair's breadth away from the realm of breaking through all laws with a single sword when I unleash my full power... However, I am used to coarse food and can't get used to coarse food. For me, who uses a fourth-tier flying sword as soon as I form the core, a third-tier flying sword is indeed a bit insufficient."

Bai Zichen reluctantly returned the Moon Whirlwind Sword to its sheath for repair, keeping only the White Bone Cold Light Sword in his hand.

In that instant, he had a sudden realization, and everything in his field of vision suddenly revealed a clear and obvious flaw.

Even third-tier formations were no exception; it took hundreds of sword threads to break the Myriad Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation in an instant.

This is already incredibly close to breaking through all laws with a single sword strike, and it faintly contains the true meaning of destruction.

Looking back, the White Bone Cold Light Sword became purely a decorative accessory, though it was quite useful for bullying cultivators of lower cultivation levels.

When a fourth-tier demon's resentment surges forth, even mid-stage Core Formation cultivators will experience a slight daze. Those below the Core Formation realm will find their sea of ​​consciousness in a state of chaos for a long time, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

However, using the Moon Whirlwind Sword to kill and defeat such cultivators is more efficient.

"It seems that before mastering the Star River Sword Formation and possessing the true essence of twelve swords emerging simultaneously, the White Bone Cold Light Sword's role is limited to serving as a substitute flying sword when the Moon Spin Sword's original power is activated and needs to be nurtured and rested."

Bai Zichen gave a wry smile. His rapid progress in strength, which caused his flying swords and magical treasures to lag behind his cultivation level, was also a troublesome matter.

With the Ten Thousand Ghosts and Fierce Souls Formation, which they regarded as their last resort, broken, even the most resilient Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators had collapsed.

Quick-witted, he dropped his work and ran towards the back of the mountain.

The number of Black Mountain cultivators is less than a third of that of Ghost Spirit Sect disciples, so with a bit of luck, there is still a certain chance of them escaping.

Those who reacted a beat too slow had already been killed by the Black Mountain cultivators and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

There was even a peculiar sight of a Qi Refining disciple from the Qingfeng Sect casually overseeing several Foundation Establishment cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining disciples.

Only a few core members still had the courage to fight the Black Mountain cultivators, hoping to carve out a way to survive.

Bai Zichen and Ge Cang Zhenren's attention was naturally not on these Ghost Spirit Sect disciples; their divine senses had already locked onto the only remaining Core Formation Realm cultivator.

“Two esteemed masters, why not spare this humble woman’s life… This storage bag of mine contains the essence of the Ghost Spirit Sect accumulated over thousands of years: fourth-grade spiritual materials, top-grade magic treasures, and even two top-grade spirit stones.”

The Peach Blossom Fairy stood in the air, trapped between the two men, looking pitiful and delicate, on the verge of tears.

“I have also refined a fourth-order Yin Lightning on my body, and it is always connected to my divine sense. If it is disconnected, it will automatically detonate... It is impossible to harm the two True Immortals, but this storage bag worth tens of millions will definitely be annihilated in the void.”

"Then you can make a bet: whether my flying sword is faster or your Yin Thunder explosion is faster."

Bai Zichen smiled, inwardly marveling at how much wealthier the Ghost Spirit Sect seemed compared to his own sect.
