Born with immortal seed

Chapter 585 Treasures of the Cloud Sea
As the sun rises, its rays illuminate the undulating sea of ​​clouds, like a delicate golden silk spread across the sky, shimmering and sparkling.

The clouds are ever-changing, sometimes resembling celestial mountains and jade pavilions, sometimes like rolling waves, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

The giant hand fell from the sky, reaching into the sea of ​​clouds several times, but all its efforts were in vain.

A cold snort nearly froze the sea of ​​clouds, but instead two giant hands simultaneously reached down and pulled out half of the towering figure.

Its enormous body barely made it halfway in before the sea of ​​clouds, like a hot pot of boiling oil, began to boil wildly.

She brought out a dark-colored ancient clock with both hands. The clock face was covered with silver gauze, and the lines of the clock revealed a unique charm, serene and profound.

"The Bell of Returning to Truth of All Things, a mid-grade Heavenly Treasure... Forty thousand years ago, the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master perished while assimilating with a god-level extraterrestrial demon. His natal magic weapon was severely damaged, and its spirit went dormant, being nurtured in the Nine Luminaries Cave Heaven Cloud Sea until now."

The giant hand extended a finger, its surface textured like mountains and valleys. With a gentle press, a melodious and resonant jade-like sound emanated from the ancient bell.

Even after being nurtured in the sea of ​​clouds for 40,000 years, only the surface damage of the Myriad Phenomena Return to Truth Bell has been repaired, and the spirit of the bell has not yet returned to its peak.

Even if one possesses the Northern Heavenly Divine Mud and successfully awakens the artifact spirit to refine it, there is still a high probability that it will be downgraded to a low-grade Heavenly Treasure.

With a long sigh, he picked up the "Return to Truth" bell between two fingers and threw it into the sea of ​​clouds, creating ripples.

He clasped his hands together and stirred the sea of ​​clouds as if scooping water. After a long while, he picked up a broken sword.

"The sword is named 'Treading the Sea,' a fifth-tier flying sword. Seventy thousand years ago, the Daoist lineage master used it to kill five ancient demons who had descended to the mortal realm. One of them was even at the Refinement of Void realm in the Heavenly Demon Realm before descending. Pure sword cultivators are rare in the sect, and this Ancestor Fei can be considered the most accomplished in swordsmanship. That Refinement of Void Heavenly Demon was at his peak, and his demonic body was shattered by Ancestor Fei's seven sword strikes. He did not appear for the next ten thousand years. However, he also paid the painful price of his flying sword breaking and his own death within ten years."

This sword is far more damaged than the Myriad Things Return to Truth Bell, and it is not the intended target.

For the third time, he plunged his palms into the sea of ​​clouds. This time, he lowered his body, immersing his entire arm in the clouds, which pushed the cloud canopy up dozens of feet.

This time the interval was exceptionally long, and finally a gray, shrouded treasure fell into the palm of the hand, pulled out from the bottom of the sea of ​​clouds.

"Finally, we've been waiting for you! The Taixu Divine Banner, a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the natal magic weapon of the Yangxing Peak Master who lost to Taibai Sword Lord by a single move 20,000 years ago... This matter is regarded as a disgrace to the sect. In fact, this ancestor cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but later, due to the defeat, a crack appeared in his state of mind, which led to his hopelessness of ascension. In terms of strength, he can definitely rank in the top ten among the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Moral Sect."

The giant slowly rose to his feet, lest his movements be too rapid and affect the sea of ​​clouds.

"In the entire history of the cultivation world, the Taibai Sword Lord is undoubtedly the number one swordsman. In terms of combat prowess in the mortal realm, few can rank above him. Losing to such a figure is not shameful..."

Even the Daode School cannot guarantee that every generation will have a divine ruler who can transform one another.

Therefore, some people say that the current Taoist sect, with its three sage rulers, can be called a golden age.

In the hundreds of thousands of years of sect history, the number of times a sect has simultaneously possessed three or more Nascent Soul stage experts is extremely rare.

Unfortunately, the demon race also ushered in their golden age, with great demons emerging one after another, and even a Nascent Soul demon lord like Ao Laolong who had mastered a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Fortunately, the current Heavenly Punishment Peak Master possesses exceptional strength, which is why he was able to barely hold his own.

Otherwise, the human race will face even greater despair.

Among all the treasures sealed in the Cloud Sea, the Taixu Divine Banner may not be the most powerful, but it is the most suitable for his purpose.

It is said that once the building stands, all evils cannot invade, it can dispel falsehoods and reveal the truth, and it is fearless of illusions.

The Qingqiu Dead Sea Fox Bai Huashen has been a deity for a thousand years. With such a long period of cultivation, even a piece of elm wood could be used to master a supernatural power to perfection.

Compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator who has just undergone tribulation, the difference in strength is definitely significant.

To achieve our goal, we must rely on external forces. The Taixu Divine Banner is the key to breaking through the fox spirit's divine power.

No sooner had he left the sea of ​​clouds than a Nascent Soul True Monarch rushed up to him in a panic.

"Master Hongfa, urgent confidentiality, three secret agents reported at the same time... The senior brother on duty read it once and felt that it was of great importance, so he presented it to you for the first time."

"So that's where the missing great demon went. Could it be that they really released an ancient being?"

The enormous body of the Dharma Master rapidly shrank, quickly returning to a normal human form. He then summoned the letter from the Nascent Soul below and glanced at it.

"The White Ape, the Colorful Phoenix, the Sky-Swallowing Serpent, Old Man Hu, and the Black-Dark Demon Squid—the five demons joined forces to ambush Bai Zichen of the Northern Region… After six days of fierce fighting, they were no match for him. The White Ape and the Colorful Phoenix fled in disarray, while the other three demons died on the spot, their souls and spirits annihilated!"

The handwriting on this note was messy, but the two short lines described an extremely fierce battle.

"Bai Zichen... truly a formidable young man. I barely remember him, yet he has already grown to this level. At the Nascent Soul stage, I was far inferior to him. I should seek out disciples in the sect who are familiar with him; with such strength, he can play a significant role in the final battle against the demon race."

Hongfa gave the order, then disappeared from the spot carrying the Taixu Divine Banner.

Even with the Northern Heavenly Divine Mud, it's best to communicate with and explore more about this kind of spiritual treasure that has been dormant for tens of thousands of years.

The Northern Heavenly Divine Mud can indeed awaken the spirit of a weapon and quickly refine it into a natal magic weapon. However, at the level of Heavenly Treasures, the spirits of weapons all have independent thoughts and are difficult to control.

To unleash the full potential of a Heavenly Treasure, one must establish a good relationship with its spirit.

At the command of the Holy Lord of Propagation, the behemoth that was the Daode Sect began to work, and all of Bai Zichen's experiences from birth to the present day were recorded.

His network of connections expanded, and all the Daode Sect disciples who might be connected were questioned, asking if they could contact Bai Zichen.

……

"I didn't expect you to wake up ahead of time and lend me a hand, otherwise those powerful demons would have been really difficult to deal with!"

Bai Zichen sincerely thanked the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword. He had originally planned to activate the flying sword after becoming a Great True Monarch, but the time had been moved up by him.

"It's only a matter of time. Does anyone in the cultivation world really think you can't even reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"

The Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword shook its head, showing no resistance to being refined.

Having spent the years in the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, it had come to understand why even a flying sword as noble as Venerable Purple Thunder was willing to serve its master and follow it. Besides the fact that this person's swordsmanship talent was unparalleled throughout history and that he was able to realize his own value, it was also because Bai Zichen's identity was not simple.

The Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword has had many masters, with Blood God True Lord being the worst among them.

The so-called top three talents in the Blood Sea Sect's history were a choice made out of necessity; strictly speaking, they were still a long way from being qualified to wield a sword.

Bai Zichen, on the other hand, enjoys good treatment and has few problems, and the more he thinks about the origin of the sword box, the more frightened he becomes.

It is a fifth-tier flying sword, which can be nourished by pure energy, subtly improving its quality.

Meanwhile, the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword, which is of a higher nature, is also repairing the flying sword by using the pure energy of the sword box, growing stronger day by day.

This only proves one thing: the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box is very likely an existence that is even superior to the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure.

The Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword is not unheard of among sixth-tier treasures in the Heavenly Demon Realm, but none can compare to the sword box.

Although it was unclear why a treasure of this rank could exist in the mortal realm, it did not prevent the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword from displaying what it considered to be the most intelligent among sword spirits, and connecting it to Bai Zichen's true identity.

Aside from the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box and the Purple Star Thunder Sword, which are treasures that shouldn't exist in the human realm, Bai Zichen's cultivation speed shocked even the demon from the Heavenly Demon Realm.

I casually mentioned that I would be willing to serve and acknowledge the sword box as my master once I reached the late Nascent Soul stage. I never expected it would only take this long.

Even in the Demon Realm, where cultivation conditions are several times better than in the human world, this growth rate is not slow; he can be considered a minor genius among his races.

All these factors combined led the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword to believe that Bai Zichen was a figure passed down from ancient times, a true immortal reincarnation.

For powerful beings descending to the lower realms, the Netherworld Coffin is also extremely tempting.

After a period of refining the void, the body merges into one.

No matter how long one's lifespan is, it will eventually decline in the face of true immortality.

When these cultivators who descended to the mortal realm discovered the existence of the mysterious Netherworld Coffin, it sparked a period of great interest.

There are also legends of reincarnation and cultivation in the realm of immortals, but no one has ever successfully verified it.

It wasn't until the discovery of the Underworld Coffin that people connected the two realms. A bold cultivator proposed that powerful beings in the Earthly Immortal Realm who wanted to rebuild their cultivation must place their anchor point in a lower-level world.

Once one cultivates to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and ascends to the upper realm, it will trigger the original body's arrangements, awaken memories, and achieve a perfect re-cultivation.

The previous owner of the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword was a proponent of this view. The sword spirit arrogantly regarded Bai Zichen as the rebirth anchor of a powerful being from the upper realm, believing that it had made a wise choice.

If we can't return to the Heavenly Demon Realm, going to the Earthly Immortal Realm isn't bad either.

The powerful beings qualified to arrange rebirth anchor points in the Immortal Realm are, of course, those at the Integration Level.

Once we return to the upper realm and receive all the reserved resources, our cultivation progress will be rapid.

Bai Zichen was unaware of the many mental journeys the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword had gone through; he was simply passing the time while flying on his sword.

After all, this is his first fifth-tier flying sword, and he wants to refine it into his natal flying sword, so naturally he needs to communicate and build a strong bond with it.

After exchanging ideas, he also gained a clear understanding of the level of intelligence of a fifth-tier sword spirit.

After leaving the Northern Region and entering the Central Region, this time the sense of awe was nowhere near as great as the first time.

Perhaps due to the war between the two races, even in a place as fertile and blessed as the Central Region, a large number of ordinary people have fled to seek refuge.

Bai Zichen estimates that most of the affected people are ordinary people on both sides of the Ji River.

In the past, this place was fertile black soil, yielding four harvests a year. Now, it is affected by the battle every year, with the river flooding dozens of times. Ordinary people are willing to abandon their homes and move away.

Bai Zichen watched as people kept falling in the procession, and flew ahead along the path of mortal migration to see where their destination was.

call out!
A dark light struck, and the moonlight fell, freezing it in place. It turned out to be a date pit.

"Someone was fighting with magic down below and suffered an undeserved disaster..."

Bai Zichen was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had sensed the group long ago, but why would he take an attack from someone who hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul level seriously?

Unexpectedly, the dark light flew around like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and it happened to land right in front of me.
