Born with immortal seed

Chapter 678 Comprehensive Improvement During Seclusion

"Are you worried about the impact of the spirit beast contract?"

The red-bearded man narrowed his eyes and smiled in a harmless manner.

"The Holy Son said that he has a decree from the Demon God, which can grant you your freedom with a single pardon. Once you arrive in the Heavenly Demon Realm, you can also apply for the opportunity to use the True Dragon Platform and elevate your bloodline."

"True Dragon Platform? I suppose that Holy Son also granted you the same conditions."

Ao Quan's expression was unpredictable, making it impossible to discern his attitude.

The True Dragon Platform is a wonder of the Heavenly Demon Realm. Any demon beast with dragon bloodline that enters it has the opportunity to elevate its bloodline to a higher level.

Legend has it that it was left behind by the ancestor of the dragon race, and each demon god has benefited greatly during their growth, becoming an important ally.

It only opens once every thousand years, with hundreds of millions of dragons vying for a maximum of ten spots.

This opportunity to change one's bloodline level is even more exaggerated than a human cultivator's ability to improve their spiritual root; it's a comprehensive change.

All lower-ranking dragons regard it as the only way to rise in rank.

Whoever obtains a spot on the True Dragon Platform will have their name resound throughout the entire True Dragon Clan and its vassal territories.

"Naturally, my bloodline is at the bottom among the dragons. In the early years, your Starry Sea did not recognize the Dragon Carp lineage, thinking it tarnished the reputation of the true dragon clan."

The red-bearded man's words carried a hint of resentment, for he had truly risen from the bottom and endured countless cold stares and discrimination throughout his life.

The idea of ​​valuing bloodline permeates the entire life of every demon.

"Brother Quan still has the potential to break through on his own. If I don't go to the True Dragon Platform, the ceiling will remain there, and there's no way to break through it."

"The opportunity to use the True Dragon Platform is rare; let's give it to you."

Ao Quan sneered and unexpectedly refused.

He wasn't worried that the Red-Bearded Lord would suddenly attack after receiving this reply, as the two were evenly matched.

Even if the Holy Son lent out some extraordinary treasure, he wouldn't be able to capture him instantly.

Moreover, being so close to the main peak of Rotten Axe Mountain, if the commotion attracts the master's attention, the Red-Bearded Lord will have no chance of leaving alive.

"Since that's the case, I don't care... I would appreciate it if Brother Quan could help me get an introduction. I am willing to become a lackey of the Sword Lord of Time."

When the red-bearded man opened his mouth, what he said was utterly astonishing.

"Aren't you the Holy Son's advocate? What is the meaning of this?"

Ao Quan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice.

"Haha, I've lived for so many years, what kind of people haven't I seen? If you really want to, bring out your treasures now. Do you think I'm still an ignorant little demon using the True Dragon Platform as a front?"

Ying Guang viewed everyone with a condescending attitude, as if he were superior.

Confident in his status as a demon god, he might not even take a demon lord in the mortal realm seriously.

The Red-Bearded Man climbed his way up from the bottom, trudging through mud to reach his current position; he wouldn't fall for this kind of nonsense.

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, the bloodline hierarchy will only become more severe, and even a holy son like Ying Guang may not be qualified to dismiss the qualifications for the True Dragon Platform.

More importantly, the Red-Bearded Lord did not believe that with his and Ao Quan's help, Ying Guang could defy fate.

The combat prowess displayed by the Sword Lord of Time is unparalleled throughout history. I wonder what the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators in the Upper Realm are like.

Compared to those great beings who ultimately succeeded in ascending to immortality during the same period, he was far superior.

Although one's current combat strength cannot represent the future of the Great Dao, at least at this stage, everyone must give way to him.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't afford to risk it.

If both of them are severely injured, Bai Zichen only needs to recuperate and recover before he can fight again.

However, those who have reached the Divine Transformation stage experience a permanent loss of lifespan, and the price they pay is on a completely different level.

I heard that on that day on the battlefield, Ying Guang faced the Time Sword Lord who had reversed the attack on the Red-Eared Ancestor, but did not strike once and fled desperately.

When the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Realm encountered the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator in the human realm since ancient times, the two were clearly not on the same level.

Before the war between the two races began, Lord Chihao was secretly getting along very well with Cunsi Peak, and he had no regard for the great conflict between the human and demon races.

Follow whichever side offers the most benefits.

"If Sword Lord could just grant me a piece of sea for my fish offspring to live in, and give me another chance to break through to the Demon Lord level, I would serve you wholeheartedly from now on."

The Red-Bearded Lord's expression was resolute, and he didn't seem to be joking.

"If that's the case, I can introduce you after Master comes out of seclusion. Whether it works out or not will be up to Master to decide."

Ao Quan said slowly.

"Then we'll wait for Brother Quan's good news. According to the Sword Master, simply crush this dragon scale."

The Red-Bearded Lord tossed out a deep blue dragon scale, laughed loudly, and a large surge of water vapor rolled in, enveloping it in a ball.

"I was born in a marshland less than ten thousand miles from here. It's rare for me to come back, so I'll take this opportunity to go and see if the waterway has changed course."

"The demon race's fate is sealed..."

As Ao Quan watched the departing figure of the Red-Bearded Man, this thought suddenly came to mind.

When the title of True Dragon Saint Son no longer holds sway, and despite promises of future rewards, the few remaining powerful members of the demon race still choose to switch allegiance to humans. The implications of this are quite obvious.

The wheel of fortune turns, and perhaps in the future this world will be dominated by humans, with the demon race only becoming a subordinate existence.

The past situation, where land and sea were clearly separated and could no longer be compared with that of human cultivators, is over.

Fortunately, it made the right decision at the last minute.

Otherwise, he would probably suffer the same fate as his twin brother: skinned and dismembered, his dragon bones rendered into oil, and his dragon meat used as food, with every part being put to good use.

Ao Quan lost interest in hunting and flew back to Rotten Axe Mountain, stepping on a cloud of yellow sand.

……

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, a single period of seclusion can last for several years, but in the blink of an eye.

The deeper one's cultivation, the easier it is to do so.

A sudden enlightenment to a later cultivation method might lead to years of immersion, wandering the Great Dao, without necessarily achieving any tangible results.

Bai Zichen sat quietly in a mountain stream at the deepest part of Qingxia Cave, his green robe flowing, with all the fifth-order flying swords stuck in the ground around him.

Even the Queen Mother of the West Sword, which cannot appear without a sword spirit, is no exception.

With a clear and empty mind, free from any thoughts, one's spirit wanders freely.

Various rainbow lights appeared around him, and occasionally a sword light would flash, echoing the fifth-order flying sword.

The official explanation given was that he had gained new insights into swordsmanship and needed to go into seclusion to master them.

This statement is partly true and partly false.

After a series of battles, especially the battle against the evil clone of the Heartless Sword Immortal, his swordsmanship was completely suppressed, and he was taught a lesson by the most advanced technique of "One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Laws".

Since then, Bai Zichen has had a vague new idea about the concept of "one sword giving rise to ten thousand laws".

After a thousand days of seclusion, sealing off his own mind and spirit, he allowed his past swordsmanship experience to communicate with these sword spirits, thus constructing the most primal technique of "one sword gives birth to ten thousand laws".

Because completely eliminating subjective factors, the resulting Kendo results will be extremely obscure and difficult to understand, filled with stream-of-consciousness content, like a book written in the heavens.

Only by transcending the original perspective and re-examining the entire swordplay performance from the perspective of a sword spirit can one truly comprehend it all.

Wow!
The rainbow light flowed like water, pouring into each sword blade.

The numerous sword spirits together create myriad techniques from a single sword. After returning, they indirectly recharge and enhance the sword spirits, forming a closed loop.

The truth is, simply completing the above steps doesn't require such a long period of seclusion.

"I still need to fight more with strong opponents to improve. It is the path of a sword cultivator to take the direct route rather than the crooked one. Unfortunately, it is hard to find a sword cultivator in the entire cultivation world who can be my match. If I am defeated in three or five sword strikes without any resistance, how can I achieve any effect?"

Bai Zichen exhaled deeply, and a sword aura as straight as a dragon shot forward.

"One sword can generate myriad laws without limit. My current level can be described as such, and the same applies to accumulating and continuously improving over tens of thousands of years."

"I didn't expect that the consumption of true essence could differ so much between creation and destruction... But that's normal. Destruction and ruin always have an end, but creation and creation have no limit."

Even before officially drawing the sword, merely sketching the sword light in one's mind was enough to clearly sense the difference.

The sword gives rise to myriad laws, just like aged wine, which becomes more fragrant with time. One world envelops another, layer upon layer.

Recently, I have encountered ancient beings, incarnations of powerful beings from the upper realm, and mysterious and profound reincarnations.

Bai Zichen decided to revisit the Three Worlds Sword Technique. This sword technique has lofty ideals, and its creator was also a sword cultivator who had reached the realm of "one sword gives birth to ten thousand laws".

Because when I acquired it, a large part of the sword manual was burned, and the original inheritance was incomplete, so I haven't put much effort into it.

However, in the future, there will be many more occasions when opponents use the Three Lifetimes Subduing Sword Technique, which can sever the reincarnations of past and present lives.

With a single sword strike, all three bodies were killed, not even given the chance to be reincarnated.

No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, as long as they are related to reincarnation and cultivation, you can completely eliminate any thoughts of them.

Once you die in this life, you cannot escape it in any future life.

A figure like the Ice Soul Fairy has many incarnations; killing one of them could easily lead to her awakening and being reborn in another body.

For example, even if a clone of evil thoughts is defeated, it can easily escape.

If the Three Lifetimes Sword Technique is mastered, the Evil Intent clone might not be able to withstand it and might perish directly.

As for the incomplete inheritance, for other sword cultivators, this sword technique is like a castle in the air, with absolutely no possibility of mastering it.

However, Bai Zichen saw it differently.

"The founder's understanding of the sword intent was not thorough enough. Many sword techniques conflicted with each other, which not only failed to maximize the power of the sword technique but also diminished some of it. However, to reach such a height and create such a sword technique, it truly deserves to be called the era of the most imaginative and inspiring swordsmanship!"

This person was of the same generation as the second-generation Nascent Soul cultivator of the Taibai Sword Sect, but his brilliance was completely overshadowed, and his name was not even recorded in later generations.

Bai Zichen did not follow the prescribed steps and blindly imitate the Three Worlds Sword Technique.

With the idea and concept of this sword technique, he could completely fill in the burned parts of the technique himself, making the Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique perfect.

Even in certain details, adjustments were made to make it more reasonable.

His current skill level is no less than that of the founder of the sword technique.

Given his profound understanding of the essence of the Three Worlds Sword Technique, he is certainly superior to its founder.

Ultimately, this is the Sword of Reincarnation.

As practitioners of the Great Dao of Time, cultivators who have comprehended the transformation of decay and prosperity can further trace back to their past, present, and future lives, influencing every time and space with a single sword strike.

It started to look quite professional right away.

While practicing and correcting, I quickly saw initial results and developed a certain method.

One hundred days later, the little white nascent soul jumped out of the Niwan Palace, reached out and grabbed the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword in front of him, and a blue aura appeared on his little face. He slashed down with the sword.

boom!
A thunderous roar echoed from within the Azure Cloud Cave, and a series of dark sword lights appeared, sweeping majestically towards the void.

Outside the little white nascent soul, one could vaguely see two figures of similar build practicing swordplay.

One sword points to the left, the other to the right.

The three swords, whose trajectories were completely different in the end, combined and cleaved a stone slab into dust.

After sheathing his sword, Bai Zichen felt a sense of loss, sensing the changes within.

Meanwhile, his temples were wet; it was a sword strike that took a great deal of effort.

Of course, such a sword demonstration cannot showcase the special supernatural powers of the Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique.

But he could sense in his heart that when he was staring intently at the stone slab just now, there seemed to be two crisp cracking sounds, as if something unknown had been taken away.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to witness the power of the Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique in person.

The vast majority of cultivators do not have the concept of reincarnation.

Even if you randomly find a famous cultivator to test your sword against, you won't be able to demonstrate the power of the Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique.

After doing all this, Bai Zichen was still not satisfied and began cultivating the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique.

The effects of this body-strengthening technique are becoming increasingly significant, and the two levels of dazzling bones have been quietly cultivated.

Thus, the sternum is the indestructible true bone, the skull is the sun-born copper bone, the shoulder bone is the heavenly star bone, the left arm bone is the hundred-poison green scale bone, the spine is the formless sword bone, and the thigh bone is the two-level dazzling light bone.

Of the seven immortal bones, six are already in place.

With only one Heavenly Soul Finger Bone remaining, the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique can be perfected.

Heavenly Soul Finger Bone, Transforms and Breaks Ghost Cultivation, Essence Soul and Wronged Spirit, Natural Nemesis.

To repair finger bones, one must first temper all ten finger bones to the level of gold and jade, making them impervious to water and fire.

Then, use the essence of a fourth-order or higher demon beast to refine it. Each finger bone needs one, and only after all ten fingers are formed can the complete technique be performed.

Only when it is refined into the bone marrow can the Heavenly Soul Finger Bone be considered complete.

After mastering the technique, one can lightly flick their ten fingers to absorb essence and improve the grade of their finger bones.

At the same time, ghost cultivators who encounter the Heavenly Soul Finger Bone suffer even worse fates than those who encounter lightning cultivators.

It's not about attribute advantage, but rather about superior rank suppression.

With a single flick of the finger, a fourth-tier ghost cultivator would be reduced to ashes.

If all ten fingers are used simultaneously, even a fifth-level ghost cultivator would not be able to withstand it.

Ghost cultivators already have many more restrictions than normal cultivators, and their strength is undoubtedly at the bottom among those of the same level.

However, after shedding his physical body and entering the path of the ghosts, the laws of lifespan and destiny no longer restricted him.

A fourth-order ghost cultivator can easily live for three or four thousand years.

Ultimately, death is not the exhaustion of lifespan, but the dissipation of the soul's power, which can no longer support the decaying body.

If there were a way to keep the soul young and strong forever, living for tens of thousands of years would be quite common.

Compared to this, the lifespan of the demon race is not so strange.

Bai Zichen himself was strong enough to kill a fifth-level ghost cultivator with his sword, but that was a different experience from directly achieving success with the Heavenly Soul Finger Bone.

"I need so many fourth-tier spirit essences. Fortunately, I have killed enough transformed demons. I can barely gather enough after searching around."

Bai Zichen summoned all the spirits sealed in the jade box, and after releasing them, a chaotic dance of demons ensued, creating a chilling atmosphere.

They strung together one finger at a time, like candied hawthorns on a stick.

With the Five Crystals in his body, his fingers had already reached the realm of gold and jade, thus eliminating this step.

Wisps of green smoke rose, and the fusion of essences allowed the original demonic beasts to reappear in their pre-life forms, rapidly shrinking into tiny black shadows on the fingertip, like a lifelike dark embroidery.
