Born with immortal seed

Chapter 429 Quick Walkthrough
After the Middle Ages, all ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays were mysteriously destroyed for unknown reasons.

The scene of traveling north to Yue in the morning and visiting Cangwu in the evening can only remain in ancient books and biographies, and can never be reproduced.

According to ancient records, there should be five continents and ten immortal islands in the cultivation world.

Instead of what it is now, a cultivation continent is divided into five regions, with islands scattered across the outer sea that have no connection to the immortal islands.

Without the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, the outer sea waters become an insurmountable barrier for cultivators.

The Cunsi Peak of the Moral Sect has been cultivating the outer sea for tens of thousands of years, dedicated to reopening a path to other cultivation continents.

Besides the divine punishment, there were also endless tsunamis, and the legendary end-of-days winds and the faintest rain in the deepest part of the land.

Legend has it that this is an eternal phenomenon formed by the fall of a true immortal from the upper realm, and it will never fade away.

That was a true immortal from the upper realm, not an ordinary immortal.

As the winds of the Dharma-ending Age sweep by, true essence dissipates and supernatural powers vanish.

A light rain soaks the body, the cultivation returns to its initial state, and lifespan rapidly ebbs away.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch could only shrink back in fear before these two formidable natural barriers.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage might not dare to try.

If it is indeed the transformation of a deceased immortal, it must contain His will and His divine thoughts.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator can resist the winds and rains of the Dharma-ending Age with the power of their grotto-heaven, their primordial spirit will be instantly infected if they are even slightly affected by the divine thoughts of a True Immortal.

The divine thoughts of a deceased immortal are enough to assimilate any cultivator in the mortal realm.

This risk alone is enough to deter all Nascent Soul level experts.

Besides the natural dangers and strange phenomena, the countless monsters in the sea are also a great enemy to human cultivators. Once they venture deep into the sea, they risk being destroyed and dying.

A combination of factors has resulted in the slow progress of human cultivators in expanding their territory in the outer seas.

Cunsi Peak was fighting alone, without support from the other peaks of the sect, so its progress was slow.

There are still a few medium- and long-range teleportation arrays with a teleportation distance of more than 100,000 miles that have been preserved, but due to the lack of repair techniques, they will only become fewer and fewer with use.

The only short-range teleportation array with a proven method of setup can only cover a teleportation distance of 20,000 to 30,000 miles at most, making it not very practical.

Especially when the cost of setting it up is a given, only a few powerful sects will set one up in a key location.

Even if other sects obtained the method of arrangement, they could only keep it on a shelf.

As one cultivator after another entered the passage, Bai Zichen swayed and arrived at the center of the giant lotus, stepping inside.

As all ten Core Formation cultivators entered, the Lotus Blossom Secret Realm gradually disappeared.

It will not reappear until another 60 years later.

When the time in the secret realm ends, these Core Formation cultivators will be randomly teleported away, instead of returning together through the passage.

Upon witnessing this scene, the onlookers engaged in another round of lively discussion before gradually dispersing several days later.

In the years that followed, these Core Formation cultivators, who were considered among the best in the Northern Region, disappeared without a trace.

At first, everyone would discuss the various possibilities of the Lotus Blossom Secret Realm and which treasure would be taken away.

But as time went on, the spotlight was overshadowed by other events.

For example, the Heavenly Principle Sect once again dispatched warships, set up a grand formation, and launched a fierce attack on the Holy Lotus Sect using formations against formations.

Several Core Formation elders on both sides died in battle, and countless other cultivators perished.

At the foot of Qishan's main peak, severed limbs and pools of blood and flesh lay scattered, the stench of blood lingering for miles around.

News has also come from the Southern Region that a Hundred-Eyed Celestial Centipede has emerged from among the countless poisonous insects of the Ten Thousand Mountains and has already grown to the fourth rank.

Wherever it went, people and animals perished; none escaped.

Millions of ordinary people and several sects have all disappeared along the path of this Hundred-Eyed Celestial Centipede.

Fortunately, the two sides were far apart, and the cultivators in the Northern Region mostly treated this matter as a topic of conversation, without much panic.

……

After a dizzying sensation and a feeling of disorientation, Bai Zichen opened his eyes and found himself in a lush forest.

All of them are ancient trees that require several people to encircle, and the sunlight projected under their huge canopies becomes dappled light and shadow.

"According to ancient records, there should also be a teleportation token to match the teleportation array. As long as you hold this, you can resist some of the power of the void. Even those with Foundation Establishment cultivation can use the teleportation array... However, with my physique, a mere short-distance teleportation array will definitely not have any effect, not even the slightest discomfort."

Bai Zichen checked himself to make sure he was unharmed before he began to determine his location.

"Senior Brother Ge said that the Lian Sheng Secret Realm is like a lotus flower, with petals layered one after another until the central stamen. I have a clear goal, so there is no need to stop along the way. I can go straight to the center."

The Lian Sheng Secret Realm is well-preserved, and its interior space is the largest among the several secret realms he has entered.

Not to mention compared to the Black Mountain Ancient Secret Realm, which can be seen at a glance, even the Sword Tomb Secret Realm is far less vast than the Lotus Life Secret Realm.

While the other nine were still recovering and adjusting, using secret techniques to communicate with each other and familiarize themselves with their surroundings, Bai Zichen had already flown out quickly, heading forward without looking back.

"Senior Brother Ge was automatically teleported out of the secret realm after the appointed time... According to other cultivators who participated in the Lotus Life Secret Realm, someone must have triggered some kind of mechanism or met some condition, which caused the secret realm to end."

Thinking of this, Bai Zichen's sword light intensified, since he was at the forefront and didn't need anyone to discover the origin of the flying sword.

"Normally, a secret realm lasts for six or seven years, but there have been times when it only lasted three years... I hope a lucky one comes along and ends the secret realm prematurely before I've even subdued the fourth-tier flying sword!"

Looking down from the sky, every ten miles there is a very obvious lotus petal.

A hundred steps into the misty haze, a thousand feet into exotic herbs.

Golden light and colorful clouds filled the sky, and spiritual energy soared into the heavens. After walking a short distance, spiritual creatures would leap into view.

"No wonder the Lotus Blossom Secret Realm has such a great reputation. Even if you don't get those top-tier treasures, the rewards along the way alone make the trip worthwhile..."

Within three petals' distance, Bai Zichen had already seen five spiritual herbs, three strange flowers, and a patch of ground filled with a chilling, metallic aura, likely containing top-quality metal spirit materials hidden underground.

Although the majority are second-tier, third-tier spirit objects occasionally appear.

And there is no danger. As long as you collect it carefully, it should be worth the price of a Saint Lotus Sect ticket after you leave.

However, those who can enter the Lotus Life Secret Realm are all outstanding individuals, and they would not be satisfied with a little bit of petty gain.

These are just side items; if you want higher-level treasures, you must head towards the center.

Bai Zichen had a clear goal. Even when his divine sense swept over a winding vine with a few brightly colored, slender spiritual fruits on it, and there were some small fragments on the skin, he did not stop.

"It seems to be the snake scale fruit, one of the auxiliary materials for refining the Calamity-Crossing Pill. I will come and get it after I find the flying sword and have some free time."

After flying for several days, the scene changed. A misty white fog enveloped everything, and the view was limited to no more than a hundred feet.

Even the range of divine sense was reduced to less than one-tenth.

Faintly, one could hear the roars of beasts within the white mist, concealing countless dangers that threatened to devour any cultivators who entered.

In the past, the place where most Core Formation cultivators perished, besides fighting amongst themselves, was this white mist.

There are countless strange and monstrous beasts, completely different from those in the outside world, extremely ferocious, and only know how to kill.

Moreover, they were not only unaffected by the white mist, but actually benefited from it. As long as they didn't die, they could recover quickly from multiple injuries.

Every Core Formation cultivator who arrives here must proceed with caution and slow down their pace.

They were terrified that some unknown monster might break out and ambush them, leaving them dead without knowing why.

Bai Zichen's sword light did not slow down, rushing straight into the white mist, completely ignoring the warnings of his predecessors.

After traveling a hundred miles, a fierce wind approached from behind, and a dark shadow was already close by, with a few flashes of cold light, about to slice him in half.

A shadowless, colorless sword light leaped out, as if it had been rehearsed a thousand times, and the black shadow deliberately collided with the invisible sword light.

With a sizzling sound, a thin line of blood appeared from head to toe, and it crashed heavily to the ground.

boom!
It was a strange beast with the body of a leopard, a single horn on its head, and scales on its tail.

The demon's body was smashed in two, and blood gushed out, staining a piece of blue stone red.

"It's a low-grade third-tier demonic beast, but in terms of speed, it's no worse than many high-grade third-tier demonic beasts... Plus, it has the advantage of being on home ground, no wonder a Core Formation cultivator has perished here."

Bai Zichen didn't even turn his head; the sword light had already captured a demon core, which was still pulsating slightly in his palm.

He found a jade box and carefully stored the third-tier demon core inside.

With the moon high in the sky, the swirling white mist was clearly visible to him, and he had long since taken in the movements of these demonic beasts.

If it weren't for the more important fourth-tier flying sword waiting for him, it would have been a good opportunity to collect demon cores.

The strange beasts in this misty white fog have been breeding for countless years. Without any external enemies, even the few cultivators who enter every sixty years can only kill a few of them.

Moreover, these monsters can feed on the white mist without needing to consume flesh and blood, which is truly amazing.

No one knows how many strange and monstrous beasts roam deep within the white mist.

Even at Bai Zichen's speed, it took him a full seven days to break through the misty white fog and his eyes were suddenly filled with light.

Without deliberately searching, five more third-tier demon cores appeared in the storage bag.

"From here on, this should be considered the core area of ​​the Lotus Blossom Secret Realm, but how do we find a fourth-tier flying sword..."

When Bai Zichen flew to a high place, the ground was no longer covered with petals, but with strands of stamens.

No longer concealing the sword's gleam, he unleashed the full power of the Moon Whirlwind Sword to its limit.

The moonlight shines brightly, making the world as clear as day.

The earth was covered in a blanket of silver frost, which slowly seeped over dozens of miles and continued to spread.

With the assistance of the Supreme Pure Sword Box, the Moon Spin Sword achieved far greater limits than any fourth-tier flying sword could accomplish.

However, one can imagine the mental strain this would cause to the sword's owner.

In other words, if Bai Zichen were here, and a Core Formation cultivator were to replace him, it would be impossible for him to support such a secret technique.

Even if there are cultivators whose spiritual strength can rival his, others without the Supreme Pure Sword Box will have their true essence drained the moment the Moonlight unfolds.

Bai Zichen could only resort to this clumsy method, making the moonlight swirl back and forth twice.

After putting it away, I moved it to another place and reactivated the ability to see clearly.

As both are fourth-tier flying swords, I don't believe that the flying sword in the Lotus Blossom Secret Realm can remain unmoved by such a swaggering act.
