Born with immortal seed

Chapter 318 The Cultivation Method of the Patriarch of the Dao

"Get on my dragon chariot, and I will tell you the story slowly."

The Blood God True Lord's expression shifted between light and shadow. With a flick of his long sleeves, he vanished, leaving only his voice echoing in the same spot.

"The Heavenly Principles Sect was doing well in Dali, so why did they come to Liang?"

Of the five regions in the world, the four kingdoms of the Northern Region were the last to be developed and do not even have a single super sect. Cultivators from the Central Region rarely choose this region when traveling around.

"News came from behind that the Five Phoenix Sword Sect had its eye on the mountain's spiritual veins, forcing them to abandon their families and leave their homes."

The Heavenly Principle Sect's spiritual vein was seized by the Five Phoenix Sword Sect's newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator to serve as a training ground, a matter that caused a great stir and spread throughout the entire Central Region.

Fang Tiansheng had his own intelligence channels and knew more about the inside story than other cultivators in Liang Kingdom.

"Moreover, during the retreat, they were attacked by a mysterious organization of thieves. It was only with the help of the Star Lord of the Broken Army and the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Hundred Puppet Sect that the leader of the Heavenly Principle Sect reportedly sacrificed a spiritual treasure to protect his disciples and help them escape to safety."

"The Five Phoenix Sword Sect! They certainly have nowhere to go in the Central Region, but why did they choose the Liang Kingdom of all places..."

Blood God True Lord gasped and waved away the voluptuous beauty beside him.

After curtsying, the beautiful woman gracefully withdrew with her entourage of female attendants.

Although it is called a dragon carriage, it is actually no different from a small palace, with a main hall, side halls, and elegant rooms.

As one of the most powerful sword sects in the world, it would be considered a top-tier sect even among the Five Phoenix Sword Sects of the Central Region.

Although the Blood Sea Sect is a dominant force in the Southern Region, it is far inferior to the Five Phoenix Sword Sect.

This reputation was earned by the sword masters of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect through their battles with their flying swords, not by simply enjoying the legacy of their predecessors.

Moreover, the previous Nascent Soul cultivator of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect had only been living in seclusion for a thousand years, and logically speaking, he had just passed the lifespan limit of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Having reached this level, what methods do they possess for prolonging life and avoiding death? Ordinary cultivators could hardly say for sure.

In the history of the cultivation world, the most exaggerated story is that of a sect that was invaded by foreign enemies and faced life and death.

The void was torn apart in the Ancestral Hall, and a sword light that seemed to reach the heavens slashed down, sweeping across thousands of miles.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor, who should have passed away three thousand years ago, killed several Nascent Soul True Monarchs and over ten thousand cultivators with a single sword strike.

After resolving the sect's great calamity, the Nascent Soul stage expert's physical body collapsed, turning into specks of light in the air.

From then on, any sect that had recently produced a Nascent Soul cultivator was essentially given an absolute trump card.

Even if a sect is weak and its virtue is not commensurate with its position, as long as it cannot be confirmed that the Nascent Soul stage expert has completely perished, no one will dare to take action against such a sect.

The descendants of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect are truly remarkable, with Nascent Soul True Monarchs emerging one after another. The sect's Deity Transformation Ancestor, who rose to fame two thousand years ago, has a considerable chance of still being alive through life extension.

Who would dare to provoke such a sect?

"Po Jun Xing Jun? I've heard of this person before. It's been rumored that he's one of the Nascent Soul Sword Lords of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect, who changed his identity and put on this disguise... Otherwise, where would there be so many Nascent Soul level sword cultivators in the world who have been active and evaded the Nascent Soul sects' attempts to capture him multiple times?"

There is a cloaked robber who can do a lot of dirty work that his public identity is not suitable for.

The Blood God True Monarch thought that this conjecture—that they could both plunder treasures and secretly eliminate the Five Phoenix Sword Sect's rivals—was quite reasonable and not necessarily unfounded.

From this perspective, while the Five Phoenix Sword Sect outwardly allowed the Heavenly Principle Sect to leave, they secretly harbored the idea of ​​eliminating them completely.

"What about Ge Cang of the Qingfeng Sect? In less than a hundred years, could he have cultivated all the way from the mid-stage of Core Formation to the peak of Core Formation, or even broken his core and transformed into a Nascent Soul?"

Blood God True Monarch has always been very confident in his talent, even though his senior brother was hailed as the hope for the revival of the Blood Sea Sect and was established as a holy son before he was even a hundred years old.

As soon as he formed his core, he activated the Blood Sea Sect's most treasured sword, the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword, and pulled it out from the depths of the Blood Sea.

He successfully transformed into an infant before the age of three hundred and inherited the title of Blood God Child from all previous generations.

Even so, Blood God True Lord was still unconvinced and had the idea of ​​competing with others, which is why he chose to come to Liang Kingdom to start anew and try to prove himself.

Although he almost ended up with no remains, he was protected by a sword light that split off from the Avici Hell Demon Sword at the cost of a hundred years of nurturing, which allowed his soul to escape back to the sect.

Ultimately, he turned misfortune into blessing, reshaping his physical body amidst a sea of ​​blood, and by a twist of fate, embarked on the path to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, this move also exhausted the Blood Sea Sect's accumulation over thousands of years, and the Blood Sea deep within the sect weakened considerably, severing its connection with the Blood Sea, the source of the Demon Realm.

In the next few hundred years, the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect will no longer be able to cultivate using the Blood Sea.

If it weren't for Blood God Child defending his junior brother, even if Blood God True Monarch had achieved the Nascent Soul stage, he would have been suppressed by several enraged Supreme Elders and forced to do hard labor for hundreds of years to make up for the sect's losses.

The fact that Blood God True Monarch ran away from Blood Sea Sect without looking back was partly related to this matter.

“Even if he hasn’t reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, he’s not far off… True Monarch Ge Cang has personally witnessed his strength; even a mid-Core Formation cultivator could defeat a Core Formation Perfection expert from the Northern Yuan. Now that he’s at Core Formation Perfection, and with the addition of powerful supernatural abilities, he might very well pose a threat to Nascent Soul cultivators.”

As secret allies, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Azure Maple Sect have far more private connections than other cultivators realize.

Both families were located in different parts of Mizhou. After identifying Blood God True Lord as a potential major enemy, True Man Ge Cang secretly visited Fang Tiansheng, and the two reached a private agreement.

Therefore, the two pieces of information are often shared.

"To fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator is a delusion that only Core Formation cultivators like you would entertain... Even the most advanced Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique cannot bridge the gap between Core Formation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators."

The Blood God True Lord revealed a hint of mockery, grabbed a wine cup filled with an unknown amount of blood, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Only when you truly become a Nascent Soul cultivator can you experience this kind of power—the power to crush you all with a single finger..."

He recalled the moment he left the Burial Immortal Valley, when he was almost killed by a demonic hand that fell from the sky. That feeling of helplessness, where he had no idea how to resist, resurfaced in his mind.

Even though he is now a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he still cannot achieve that effortless palm strike.

It appears to possess no true essence or magical power, yet it carries the might of heaven and earth, much like the "Heaven and Earth Manifestation Divine Power" that only a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator can master.

However, if he were truly a great cultivator, even with the Avici Hell Demon Sword's divided sword light protecting him, Blood God True Monarch would not have been able to escape.

More likely, it's a powerful Nascent Soul mid-stage True Monarch.

In any case, the Burial Immortal Valley involves too many secrets, which is not something a newly promoted Nascent Soul True Monarch like him can easily get involved in.

As for the ancient demon in the Burial Immortal Valley, it was restricted by the restrictions and could not leave.

But if cultivators were to enter voluntarily, wouldn't that be like feeding it extra food?

"One is nearing the end of his life, and the other is injured. They didn't want to expose their weaknesses when they attacked Ge Cang, giving others an opportunity to exploit them... They both want to be the fishermen who watch the snipe and the clam fight, so let me be the spoilsport and get you all moving!"

Blood God True Monarch sneered and turned to speak.

“I just returned to Liang and I was short of manpower. It’s good that you came just in time… As long as you, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, work for me and do your job with peace of mind, I will surely grant you Qishan when I return to Southern Chu.”

"I am willing to follow in the footsteps of the True Lord, and I dare not fail to go through fire and water."

Fang Tiansheng looked delighted and paid his respects at the banquet.

……

"Tong Huan said you have something important to report to me, something concerning the sect's inheritance..."

Bai Zichen's indifferent gaze swept over them, causing the kneeling disciples below to tremble as if their minds were frozen.

"I hope you haven't exaggerated and wasted my time."

With the help of body-refining elixirs, he cultivated the Glazed Fire God Body in just six months.

At the same time, he mastered the "Near the End of the World" and "Pink Crystal Jade Shattering Technique" on his own, without needing to study them anymore.

Of course, one still needs to familiarize oneself with the ability to teleport, and take the proficiency of this teleportation technique to the next level.

He also tried to get into the fifth level, but as expected, he couldn't make a single step.

The final layer, the Five Crystals Body, allows one to move with such power that it shakes the heavens and earth, yet remains untouched by any magic, and all things in heaven and earth return to it.

Based on the description, it's already close to the legendary effect of "manifesting the heavens and earth".

Progress can be made simply by engaging in visualization and meditation.

Only by possessing genuine Five-Crystal Divine Iron and Glazed Fire Jade, and integrating them into one's own body, can one achieve true mastery.

According to the ancient texts, the initial training for the final level is quite simple.

The biggest challenge was finding these two fifth-tier spiritual materials, which were almost extinct in the cultivation world.

While he was still experiencing the changes brought about by the Glazed Fire God Body, Tong Huan came to report that Tie Changsheng, the manager of the General Affairs Hall, had repeatedly requested an audience, saying that he possessed secrets about the sect's inheritance.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was the inner disciple he had personally selected.

But for a native of Hejian County to claim that he possesses the secrets of the Qingfeng Sect's heritage seems like a pipe dream.

If it weren't for the feeling that this person was hiding a secret, I wouldn't have wanted to meet him.

“This disciple dares not deceive the Ancestor. This is a jade lock that I found when I was young. Inside is a cultivation technique... Although I can't understand it at all and can't cultivate it, it is definitely not something that later generations made up or attached. The signature is none other than True Person Qingfeng.”

Tie Changsheng tore off a jade lock from his chest, placed it in his palm, and raised it up.

"A jade lock left behind by the founder of the sect?"

Bai Zichen reached out and grabbed the jade lock in his hand. It was exquisitely crafted, warm and translucent, and exuded an ancient and desolate aura.

The jade lock has a maple leaf on the front and a line of tiny characters on the back: "Few words, great meaning; subtle words, profound implications."

"The Song of the Cauldrons, a secret transmission of the Immortal Boyang, handwritten by the True Lord Shaoyang, supplemented by the Cantong Qi... It is actually the missing part of the Cantong Qi!"

Bai Zichen scanned the area with his divine sense and was astonished to find that it was indeed closely related to the inheritance of the Qingfeng Sect.

It's still listed as a complementary practice to the Cantongqi, which is considered a fundamental law. No wonder Tie Changsheng said he couldn't cultivate it.

Without the Cantongqi, how can one begin to practice it using only this Dingqi Song?

As for whether it's real or fake, you can tell at a glance.

This poem on bronze vessels clearly shares the same origin as the Cantongqi (the Book of the Three Kinds of Men), and many of their contents resonate with each other.

Without even studying it carefully, Bai Zichen felt that he was making progress in cultivating the third volume of the Cantongqi.

Once you find the right direction, it won't take long to complete the repairs.

Moreover, the title of Shaoyang Zhenjun is completely unknown to anyone outside of the Qingfeng Sect.

This founding patriarch of the Qingfeng Sect had never even been to this cultivation continent.
