Born with immortal seed

Chapter 613 Leads to the Appearance of a Fifth-Order Sword Pellet

"By what percentage will the probability be increased?"

Bai Zichen dismissed it like trash. What Plum Blossom Heavenly Star Pill? It was not as good as the legendary Jade Elixir brought from the Earthly Immortal Realm, which could make one go straight from the early stage of Core Formation to the perfect stage of Core Formation with just one sip.

In the early stages, the physical body could withstand it, and in the middle, all the bottlenecks were broken through without any obstacles.

Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs who drink it will have significant effects.

However, pills that help one break through cultivation realms have always been the most popular in the cultivation world.

This becomes more pronounced the higher the level.

Especially at the late Nascent Soul stage, a great True Monarch level, crossing it in one step opens up vast horizons, resulting in significant changes in strength and status.

There is no known elixir for breaking through cultivation realms in the cultivation world. The few pills passed down from the Middle Ages have not been successfully refined for nearly ten thousand years because they are missing one or two of the essential ingredients and no substitutes can be found.

Only the most powerful cultivators can stimulate a cultivator's physique through high-level spiritual objects or special formations to increase their chances of advancement.

Even so, each activation requires dozens of top-grade spirit stones, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"It should be about 10%, with effects comparable to the breakthrough pills of the Middle Ages... Master Dongyang created the Plum Blossom Heavenly Star Pill in an attempt to change the difficult situation in the human realm where it is hard to reach the late Nascent Soul stage. However, under limited conditions and with limited time, no breakthrough progress has been made."

Qiu He has studied the Dongyang Villa for decades and has a thorough understanding of Dongyang Shangren, the structure of the cave, and his actions in the lower realm.

He could immediately tell the origin of the pill in his palm; anyone else would have been stunned by it.

“One pill for each person is just right… Fellow Daoist Bai is no longer of any use. If you don’t have a specific person in mind to give it to, you should make your move quickly.”

Qiu He was still a little embarrassed, after all, she was the one who asked for nothing in return. After hesitating for a long time, she poured a Plum Blossom Heavenly Star Pill back into the jade bottle and flicked her finger.

"After all, it has been too long, and the spiritual energy is only maintained by the Jiuhua Spirit Pool. It is hard to say how long the medicine can be effective once we leave this environment."

"Thank you for reminding."

Bai Zichen stroked the bottle once, and already had an idea.

Ge Cang has been in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm for decades, and with his talent, he is not too far from the peak of the mid-stage.

This pill is perfect for him. Even if he leaves in the future, with Senior Brother Ge Cang's strength advancing to the Great True Monarch level, he will definitely be able to protect the sect.

After inspecting all the jade bottles, only a handful of pills remained intact; apart from the Plum Blossom Heavenly Star Pill, only two other types were found.

One is the Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill, which is different from the Universal Longevity Pill. It cannot allow a cultivator who could originally live to be a hundred years old to live to be a hundred and twenty years old.

However, if the injury is caused by fighting, resulting in accumulated internal injuries, or by activating forbidden techniques and overdrawing one's lifespan, it can be compensated for by the Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill.

One Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill can replenish the lifespan lost over a period of sixty years.

There were a total of six pills in two bottles. Qiu He clearly had limited interest in this type of longevity-enhancing elixir, so he divided them in half as well.

Bai Zichen was initially uninterested, but soon thought of a use for it and carefully put it away.

The second is the Solemn Life-Saving Pill, each pill only adds thirty years to lifespan, but it has a major advantage: the resistance to the medicine develops very slowly.

The first pill adds thirty years to the effect, and the second pill's effect will last at least twenty-five years. You have to take at least five or six pills before the effect is barely noticeable.

Qiu He held the jade bottle containing three solemn life-saving pills, his expression one of excitement.

Unless the situation is unsuitable, it should be taken directly on the spot.

As agreed, the solemn life-saving pills were all taken by Qiu He. If the fifth-tier sword pills could not be found, the spirit stones needed to prioritize the purchase of the longevity pills would be made up later.

"So, all the remaining magical artifacts have become useless, even the fifth-tier sword pellets?"

Bai Zichen was filled with longing; logically, a fifth-tier sword pellet shouldn't have fallen to that state.

However, the Dongyang Villa cannot be regarded as a normal relic at present, otherwise the fifth-order immortal peach would not have changed into a demonic peach that takes people's lives.

All his other gains combined were not as valuable as a single fifth-tier sword pellet to him.

"According to that young Daoist, the three sword pellets that Venerable Dongyang brought from the Upper Realm all have the potential to reach the sixth rank, and he places great hopes on them. He guessed that he was running around in the mortal realm to look for the possibility of the sword pellets being upgraded, otherwise why would he go to such lengths to bring the sword pellets to the lower realm to cultivate them?"

Qiu He told the whole story without hiding anything.

"The two sword pellets that followed matured and gave birth to two fifth-order flying swords. Master Dongyang's expression was indescribable, and he returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm not long after. The sword pellet he left behind was probably weaker in spirituality, so it would take longer to mature."

"The suggestion is to demonstrate your superior swordsmanship to attract the sword pellet and give it hope of returning to the upper realm after recognizing its master... I believe this is a piece of cake for Fellow Daoist Bai. If you ask who in the cultivation world can conquer a fifth-order flying sword with this, it is none other than you."

Qiu He's words were clear and decisive, directly excluding the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators who might still be hiding in the cave heavens of the major sword sects.

After witnessing Bai Zichen's strength firsthand, his attitude has completely changed.

That being said, it's reasonable to believe that Bai Zichen has a better chance of ascending to the upper realm than those Nascent Soul Sword Masters.

On one side are the withered bones in the tomb, barely clinging to life, ready to die the moment they show their faces;

On one side is the young and promising Sword Immortal, the one with the greatest potential for ascension after the Sword Master Taibai.

If that fifth-tier sword pellet truly intends to return to the Immortal Realm, then the choice is without question.

"To showcase the highest level of Kendo?"

Bai Zichen glanced at the Nine Hua Spirit Pool. It was clearly small and shallow, easily scanned with his divine sense.

However, there is still no trace of the fifth-tier sword pellet.

It can only be said that if a fifth-tier flying sword that has most likely matured is deliberately hidden and doesn't show itself, it will be extremely difficult to find.

Twelve flying swords emerged one after another, including the Purple Star Thunder Sword. The twinkling stars formed a celestial river, changing the color of the sky.

The Star River Sword Formation was formed, deliberately narrowing its range. The entire Nine Hua Spirit Pool trembled and vibrated, and the ripples on the water surface changed from fine silver patterns to roaring waves.

Because the twelve constellations were too close to the ground, the intense sword intent caused the broken magical artifacts in the pool to shatter.

Only the finest among them can withstand the sword intent.

The pool water boiled, and driven by the movement of the stars, it even created the ebb and flow of the tide.

When the undulations are at their greatest, the silt at the bottom of the pool is exposed.

"Is this his trump card, the one he relied on to slay so many powerful demons?"

Qiu He watched as the sword light grazed past his nose, and a starry sky instantly exploded, splitting into inner and outer worlds.

Even those outside the sword formation, and not being targeted, felt a chill in their hearts, experiencing the powerlessness of facing the might of heaven and earth before attaining enlightenment.

He suddenly realized that if the sword formation were hanging high above his head, he would only meet the same fate as those dead great demons.

"Outside of the Taibai Sword Sect, there is someone else who can control the sword formation... Could it be that ten thousand years from now, our sect will once again be overshadowed by someone else, and we will have to relinquish our title as the number one sect in the world for a period of time?"

Qiu He immediately thought of the peak period of the Taibai Sword Sect, which was one of the few sects in history that completely took away the dominant position in the cultivation world from the Morality Sect.

At other times, there may be sects that rise unexpectedly to the Nascent Soul stage, relying on one or two exceptionally talented cultivators to grow rapidly and become comparable to the Moral Sect.

However, the Moral Sect remains steadfast, while the Nascent Soul sects come and go. With its absolute advantage in resources, these newly established Nascent Soul sects have absolutely no chance of truly threatening the Moral Sect.

Only the Taibai Sword Sect, first established by the Taibai Sword Lord, became the most dazzling sword cultivator sect in the cultivation world. Its series of pioneering sword dao expansions can be said to have paved a great path to heaven for later generations of sword cultivators.

He successfully ascended to heaven without an ascension platform, sending back a divine decree that shocked the world.

Even without enough achievements in the Nascent Soul stage, people have begun to praise him as the number one cultivator in the world.

When the Taibai Sword Sect reached its second-generation ancestor, it witnessed a top-level battle that attracted the attention of the entire cultivation world, facing off against the Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Morality Sect.

The outcome of that battle had far-reaching consequences, directly causing the Moral Sect to relinquish its status as the number one cultivator and the number one sect in the cultivation world, and personally handing over the Taibai Sword Sect to the supreme position in the mortal realm.

Unfortunately, what is just beginning is easily broken; its rise is swift, but its collapse is as swift as a shooting star.

With Bai Zichen's current performance, no one dared to question whether he could reach the Divine Transformation stage; they were probably even more confident than he was.

Occasionally, after finishing his cultivation late at night, he would have many random thoughts, such as whether his own sacred body would be stopped at the insurmountable barrier of the Nascent Soul stage.

Judging from his current career trajectory, he has perfectly replicated the path of Taibai Jianjun, and even followed it more smoothly and steadily.

"Why aren't you coming out yet?"

Bai Zichen hardened his heart, and with a flick of his finger, stars rained down one after another, creating an aura that threatened to completely shatter the Nine Hua Spirit Pool.

Even with deliberate control of its power, the Nine-Flower Spirit Pool dried up rapidly, revealing countless cracks.

As the Golden Leaf Bodhi Sword fell, three thousand Bodhisattvas stood on the stars, chanting sutras in unison, as if a Buddhist kingdom had descended to earth.

"It's so noisy! I hate bald monks the most... Why do I have to listen to bald monks chanting sutras after coming to the mortal world!"

A shrill, high-pitched voice rang out, giving the impression of a spoiled, unruly young boy.

A wisp of starlight, like quicksand, suddenly appeared, gathering and dispersing, and actually knocked the Golden Leaf Bodhi Sword aside, bursting through a gap and slipping out.

But the boundless sea of ​​stars outside, still within the sword formation, was quickly overtaken by other stars and enveloped again.

"As expected, it was successfully conceived and is now a fifth-order flying sword! It's even a Star Flying Sword. No wonder it didn't reveal its presence under the Star River Sword Formation; it was as if it had returned home."

This wisp of starlight emanated an aura similar to that of the Avici Hell Demon Sword, making it a genuine fifth-tier flying sword.

Moreover, the starlight was dim, yet it contained the Great Dao, which surprisingly matched the sword intent of the Star River Sword Formation.

When it doesn't jump out on its own, it flies around randomly in the sword formation in the form of starlight, making no difference whatsoever.

The positions of the twelve constellations shifted, with the Ziwei Thunder Sword and the Abi Heavenly Prison Demon Sword leading the charge, and the other flying swords arranged in order of strength behind them.

Now that their whereabouts have been exposed and their location has been locked, there's no way they can hide anymore.

It flashed continuously, then evolved into various kinds of starlight, and even scattered into billions of grains of sand in an instant.

Despite trying every means, they were unable to escape the twelve constellations.

"Is my swordsmanship level sufficient to make me your master?"

A grand sound echoed back and forth within the Star River Sword Formation, rolling like thunder, causing the quicksand starlight to continuously shatter and unable to coalesce into a complete bundle.

"My master is Venerable Dongyang, a powerful cultivator at the Refinement of Emptiness. What right do you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the lower realm, have to be my master!"

The shrill voice of the sword spirit was grating, but it was clear that it had become much more restrained than before, at least it knew to invoke the name of Master Dongyang.

"I am 272 years old this year and have cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm... May I ask, Venerable Dongyang, how many years did it take you to reach my level of cultivation in the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

The quicksand starlight flickered restlessly, offering no immediate reply.

Because of this cultivation speed, even in the Earth Immortal Realm, it would be outstanding, and it would be valued and specially cultivated in a Nascent Soul level sect.

Master Dongyang's strength lies in alchemy, but because he was distracted by other things, his progress in cultivation was far from amazing.

"The Venerable One also cultivates alchemy; at this age, he is already a peak fourth-tier alchemist!"

"I have mastered the swordsmanship and obtained the sword intents of time, starry river, and celestial phenomena. This has attracted fifth-tier flying swords to flock to me. Can Master Dongyang compare?"

The Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword, the Abi Heavenly Prison Demon Sword, and even the Nanming Li Huo Sword, which had not yet submitted, were all brought out for display.

Although both are fifth-tier flying swords, they are not the same thing in the mortal realm and the immortal realm.

Not to mention that Bai Zichen's sword intent contains the Time Sword Intent, which is one in ten thousand even in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"I also cultivate body tempering and can be a fourth-order body cultivator. Would you be willing to be my master?"

"I created my own sword technique, which incorporates the changes of celestial phenomena into the seasons, merges with the celestial realm, and regulates the weather for 365 days... Can I become your master?"

"I cultivate the divine power of time, time is like a sword, youth fades quickly, even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot stop it... Can I be your master?"

"Since I entered the Dao, I have always striven for success in my cultivation and achieved fruitful results in my practice. I never linger even for a moment after reaching the pinnacle of a certain realm... Can I be your master?"

The barrage of questions silenced the clearly inexperienced sword spirit instantly.

It has been with Master Dongyang ever since it was a sword pellet, and it did not need to communicate with anyone when it was at the Dongyang Villa.

Compared to other sword spirits of the same level, he was a complete novice, and all his knowledge came from the teachings of Master Dongyang.

Bai Zichen's contradictory statement left it momentarily speechless.

If what is said above is true, then according to its understanding, it would be considered a genius even in the realm of Earthly Immortals.

Look at the sword light around that person; there are two flying swords of the same level, and another flying sword with a deep, calm lightning-like light.

Although it was still a step away from the fifth rank, the aura it exuded made even the sword spirit feel fear.

It was like when I was in the Immortal Realm, still in the form of a sword pellet, hanging from Master Dongyang's waist as I met the combined giant.

Even though a long time has passed, and even though the sword spirit had not yet fully awakened at that time, the deepest sense of familiarity could not be erased.

"I want to return to the Immortal Realm. Can you do that?"

The quicksand starlight, having finally condensed into a thin thread, asked a question somewhat timidly.

"Within a hundred years, I will surely become a Nascent Soul cultivator! Among the cultivators of this realm, who has a greater chance of ascending to the Upper Realm than I do?"

Bai Zichen said confidently, which wasn't entirely a lie.

Even if it takes a hundred years to achieve it, it's not far off. Besides, apart from the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator, the Holy Lord of the Dharma, other Nascent Soul cultivators have long since lost their chance to ascend.

It's rare to find such a naive and easy-to-use fifth-tier flying sword. Why not seize it while you can? It's much easier to fool than the Nanming Li Huo Sword.
