Born with immortal seed

Chapter 470 Fallen Phoenix Mountain

Luofeng Mountain is named after a fire phoenix that fell here in ancient times.

The dead fire phoenix transformed into a volcano stretching for thousands of miles, perpetually shrouded in smoke and flames, melting stone and flowing gold; only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could venture deep into it.

This matter is highly credible, but the Wanli Volcano and the Fire Phoenix Demon Body have little to do with each other. It was the fifth-tier peak fire-type divine beast that carried various strange flames, which scattered and ignited the mountain peak.

The Nine Yang True Fire is just one of the true fires on the Fire Phoenix's body, and it has not been extinguished even after tens of thousands of years.

As for the Fire Phoenix's true form, this demon possesses the direct bloodline of a divine beast. As long as a spark of Nirvana Fire remains within its body, it will be immortal and eternal.

Not long after the fire phoenix fell, a daring cultivator attempted to search for the demon's body and saw a ball of Nirvana fire fly away.

With its wings spread wide, the fire phoenix blotted out the sky, leaving nothing but a sea of ​​fire covering the mountains and creating a world of flames.

"With Luofeng Mountain as the boundary, the two places are indeed very different, like entering an unexplored primitive territory... Without traveling, one can't imagine that there are such places in the cultivation world."

Bai Zichen gazed into the distance, where south of Luofeng Mountain lay desolate, rolling hills.

There were no city walls or sacred mountains in sight; everything was filled with a wild and primitive atmosphere.

Villages stand nestled among the mountains.

They survived with great difficulty by living in clan-based mountain villages.

Fireworks lit up the entire Luofeng Mountain, turning the mountain peaks into glowing red rocks and scorched brown earth.

The heatwaves were so intense that even high in the sky, birds would deliberately avoid them to avoid scorching their feathers.

The air is filled with fire-type spiritual energy, but it is volatile, unruly, and full of fire poison, making it unsuitable for refining and absorbing.

According to local cultivators, it was the lingering resentment of the fallen fire phoenix that caused this change in the spiritual energy of this vast land, which has remained unchanged since time immemorial.

This is the main reason why only Nascent Soul True Monarchs can go deep inside; inside, they can only consume their internal true essence without replenishment.

In just a few hours, his true energy will be depleted.

Unlike Nascent Soul cultivators, their true essence has undergone a tremendous increase compared to those in the Core Formation stage.

The nascent soul within him possesses a single breath of his own true essence, equivalent to the combined essence of ten cultivators at the peak of the Core Formation stage. He need not worry about exhausting his true essence in Falling Phoenix Mountain.

As for Bai Zichen, this kind of dangerous environment suits him perfectly.

Regardless of the type of fireworks, the Sun Yuan Copper Bone welcomes all.

I reached out and gently stroked a pale flame on the mountainside beside me; beneath it lay a pile of white bones.

With a single touch, the white bones collapsed with a clatter, scattering a layer of ash.

It is unknown which powerful monster's corpse it was, but over the years it turned into a pile of bone dust.

But from that foundation, such a strange flame was born.

"Fire arises from within its bones, not relying on high temperatures, but possessing a touch of eerie power, already very close to the realm of true fire..."

The pale flames rested on Bai Zichen's fingertips, making his knuckles appear gaunt and radiating a cold, jade-like hue.

A few breaths later, the bone fire flowed into his body through his fingers and was directly swallowed by the Sun Yuan Copper Bone.

As if he had taken a powerful tonic, a slight warmth spread through his Taiyang Yuan Tong bone.

"The area of ​​Luofeng Mountain is quite large. The secret sword-forging manual is vague, only saying that where flames burst forth and fire falls in disarray, there is the innate Nine Yang True Fire... But places that meet the requirements are everywhere. I'm afraid it might take three to five months to complete the journey."

The sky was ablaze with flames, turning the world into a crimson expanse.

Bai Zichen sighed. It seemed he would still have to rely on the sword box's ability to see through fire, and the sword eye's range was several times that of divine sense.

With the Purple Star Thunder Sword as its eye, efficiency is increased more than tenfold.

With a flick of his wrist, the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror fell into his hand.

This incomplete magical artifact has been nurtured in the dantian for over a hundred years, and it is quite different from its original appearance when it was first obtained.

The mirror surface shimmered with a spiritual light, and the patterns and characters on it occasionally flashed with brilliance.

Bai Zichen flashed the treasure mirror in front of the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword and told them about the search for the Innate Nine Yang True Fire.

With the sword's spiritual power, one can already understand.

The flying sword nodded slightly, indicating that it was under control and could be handed over to it.

"It's my duty to replace the missing parts for my younger brother; I'll certainly be able to do it!"

Bai Zichen received the message from the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword and was both amused and exasperated.

Back then, in my own dantian, the liquid magical energy formed a lake, and the space for nurturing was limited.

The best spot always belongs to the Purple Star Thunder Sword, and only the remaining spiritual liquid can be shared with the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror.

It seems that it was during that time that the Purple Star Thunder Sword developed memories and took in this little brother.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you... Your mirror is quite lucky; even a low-grade magic weapon is qualified to be someone's underling. There are still a bunch of third-tier flying swords waiting in line in the sword box."

Within the Supreme Pure Sword Box, their positions are clearly defined.

The Purple Star Thunder Sword was in the center, holding a supreme position. All the flying swords kept their distance and dared not approach it at all.

Only his loyal little brother, Yuexuan Sword, always stayed by his side, following his lead without question.

The other fourth-tier flying sword, Fanghua, was a newcomer to the sword box and had no contact with the other flying swords, so it was all alone.

As for those third-tier flying swords, they were not even worth the attention of the natal flying sword, and the natal flying sword had no interest in exchanging them.

It is truly rare for someone to take a liking to a treasure like the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror, which, even after repairs, is only a top-grade magic weapon with a hazy spiritual quality.

The little white nascent soul leaped out of the Niwan Palace, the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box in its hands floated into the air, and it spat out a mouthful of its natal true essence.

The Purple Star Thunder Sword transformed into countless bolts of lightning, spreading out in all directions like a continuously expanding net of thunder.

Tiny bolts of lightning danced and leaped through the air, transforming into a roaring sea of ​​lightning that enveloped the entire mountain.

"In terms of range, it's half again as large as the Moon Whirlwind Sword, and the information it can sense is much clearer... There's a Crimson Fire Flower thirty miles to the left. After drying, its petals become natural fire-type talisman paper. Third-tier fire-type talismans made from it are at least 30% more lethal than ordinary talisman paper, and the success rate of making them is also higher."

This was the first time Bai Zichen had used the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword as his eye to experience the extraordinary nature of his natal flying sword.

The lightning strikes cover everything, revealing every detail, and even actively marks out any unusual spots in the image.

Just like a dark red halo inside the mountain, it stands out immediately in the clear and bright picture.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed a crack several feet wide, with a skeleton holding its hands high and pressed tightly against the mountain wall.

A fire-repelling bead at the waist kept the flames out of the circle, which is why the skeleton has been preserved to this day.

"It was just a third-tier fire-repelling pearl, capable of blocking ordinary flames. It must have been unlucky to encounter a heavenly fire or a true fire eruption, which burned its body, causing it to flee in panic towards the shade. Unfortunately, the true fire entered its body and burned it to nothing but bones."

Bai Zichen could imagine how desperate that cultivator must have felt.

His body was engulfed in flames, yet he remained conscious, dying helplessly in endless agony.

"I wonder why these cultivators, who are clearly only at the Core Formation stage, are entering Falling Phoenix Mountain. I haven't heard of any rare treasures or relics left by predecessors here..."

Bai Zichen flicked his finger, and the Fire-Repelling Pearl and the Crimson Fire Flower appeared before him.

As he was about to move on to the next spot, he suddenly remembered how the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword had single-handedly blocked cultivators in front of the great formation in the Hundred Skills Sect, displaying its great power.

"Indeed, you are different from other spiritual treasures; you are my natal flying sword. I will try my best to return to a fifth-tier flying sword before your master reaches the Nascent Soul stage, so that I won't have to envy other cultivators who possess heaven-reaching spiritual treasures!"

With a flick of his finger, he marked the search location for the Purple Star Thunder Sword. It let out a cheerful sword cry, rolled into its scabbard, and flew away.

"Excellent! This way, the efficiency can be doubled!"

Bai Zichen nodded in satisfaction, and then let out a dragon's roar, transforming into a magnificent and powerful fire dragon.

The dragon's tail swayed, smashing a giant rock before soaring into the sky.

"My physical strength has increased more than tenfold, and I feel like I can lift a mountain... With a single thought, the surrounding flames are at my disposal. There is no one more supreme in fire than this."

With the help of the sacred beast's essence blood, Bai Zichen's perfected Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture has raised his fire spirit root aptitude to a level close to that of a heavenly spirit root.

In human form, at most, one can only be affinity with spiritual energy and actively gravitate towards it during cultivation.

This level of control over the flames has never been seen before.

This has nothing to do with spiritual root aptitude; it is entirely a manifestation of the Great Dao of Fire.

The body of a fire dragon is uniquely endowed by heaven.

If he hadn't embarked on the more promising path of time, he could have made great progress on the path of fire simply by frequently transforming into a fire dragon.

There's no need to use divine sense to search; wherever you fly, if there's true fire present, it will naturally produce a reaction.

After soaring thousands of miles and flying over several mountain peaks, the fire dragon finally caught a whiff of a unique scent and took a deep breath towards the ground.

Rocks flew everywhere, and nine-colored flames shot out, seemingly containing nine even smaller flames inside.

It's only the size of a fist, yet it exudes a chilling danger.

This is precisely the purpose of this trip: the Primordial Nine Yang True Fire!
The fire dragon swallowed the nine-colored flames in one gulp, then returned to human form, and the innate Nine Yang True Fire appeared in its hand.

"Excellent! Excellent! I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I found the Innate Nine Yang True Fire in just one day..."

Bai Zichen smiled and sent a message to his natal flying sword, instructing it not to continue searching for its return.

A quarter of an hour later, the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword, carrying the Supreme Pure Subtle Sword Box, landed.

The sword conveyed emotion, clearly indicating that it hadn't had enough fun and wanted to continue.

Although the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword did not find the Innate Nine Yang True Fire, it brought back a piece of burning log.

"Fire within wood, the purest yang fire... Well done!"

Bai Zichen touched the Thunder Blade, praising his natal flying sword.

If it were any other two fourth-tier flying swords, even if they could carry out this mission, they would never know how to bring back any other treasures they found.

The spiritual power of the Ziwei Thunder Sword is no less than that of the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure.

Fire from wood, fire from stone, and fire from the air—when these three are combined, they become the renowned Samadhi Fire.

He specifically found an open space in the realm to settle the wood fire before turning back to study the innate Nine Yang True Fire.

"Let's forge the Golden Blazing Fire Sword right here and then integrate it with the Nine Yang Divine Fire Mirror... If we repair the sword first and then go to find another one, we might not have such good luck."

The materials for forging the Golden Blazing Fire Sword had been prepared long ago and had already undergone preliminary refining at the mountain gate.

If it weren't for the lack of suitable true fire, there should have been another third-tier flying sword in the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box long ago.
