Born with immortal seed

Chapter 805 Talented Individuals from All Schools
"Passed down by the White Ancestor?"

Shen Cong's voice trembled as he asked again, somewhat incredulously.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Sword Master of Time is the greatest swordsman of all time, whose strength far surpasses that of anyone in history.

To describe it as having the appearance of an immortal would be somewhat derogatory.

Even the ancient immortals who were suspected of reincarnating into the mortal realm using secret reincarnation techniques, or the rebirth of the true spirits of top-tier innate deities, could not achieve this level of cultivation speed in their reincarnated forms.

This is especially rare in the current cultivation world.

The disciples of the Qingfeng Sect, on the other hand, had a deeper understanding of their ancestor and knew that in addition to his unparalleled talent, the Sword Lord of Time was also astonishing in his methods of educating and nurturing people.

Of the five direct disciples, two died young, two reached the Nascent Soul stage, and the youngest disciple even successfully transformed into a Deity.

With three Nascent Soul cultivators from one sect, the Azure Maple Sect was firmly established as the number one sect in the cultivation world, and its victory was a foregone conclusion.

Even the once-powerful Taibai Sword Sect had never displayed such momentum.

Another piece of evidence that proves this point is the mirror hanging high in front of the highest peak of Rotten Axe Mountain.

Every Qingfeng Sect disciple has one free opportunity each year to have their entire body clearly examined by Jianzi's divine light.

Then, based on each person's individual circumstances, cultivation advice is given.

If there are any existing hidden dangers, they will be explained clearly.

Everyone said that this mirror was a treasure crafted by Old Ancestor Bai to verify his ideas.

Although it is amazing, it is still worlds apart from his own experience.

When Shen Cong went to Rotten Axe Mountain after he formed his core, he tried it once, and it was indeed incredibly accurate, hitting the nail on the head with every single one.

No wonder he was so excited; it was as if the gate to the Nascent Soul stage had been opened more than halfway for him.

If one fails to achieve Nascent Soul even under the guidance of Old Ancestor Bai, one should accept one's fate and no longer blame external conditions.

"My talent is not the most outstanding among the heroes of the peaks. I wonder how many people the Ancestor will choose... If there are too few, I am afraid I will lose face for my master."

After the initial excitement subsided, Shen Cong returned to reality and asked with a hint of worry.

The Qingfeng Sect is now unparalleled in its ability to attract top geniuses in the cultivation world.

Leaving aside the Northern Region, just in the past hundred years alone, Rotten Axe Mountain has taken in three disciples with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Those with inferior spiritual roots and various spiritual bodies no longer enjoy the preferential treatment they once did and can only start as outer disciples.

In the direction of Xuanzhou, even though Song Ding established his Daoist temple above the eye of the North Sea, every year a large number of human cultivators would sail out to sea, hoping to become disciples of this great savior of humanity.

Few people in the Xuanzhou human race knew of the Time Sword Lord, but the reputation of the Five Elements Divine Sword was renowned and resounded throughout every human town.

There was also the venerable Ge Cang, who returned sixty years ago, gave a few words of explanation, and then departed again.

He found a dilapidated fifth-order spiritual mountain in the boundless sea of ​​suffering, which could barely serve as a training ground for Nascent Soul cultivators, but he harbored even greater ambitions.

He returned to Black Mountain, gave instructions, and took away a large pile of high-grade spiritual materials, attempting to refine the damaged spiritual mountain into a grotto-heaven.

The Ge Cang Cave Heaven is called Shenxiao Thunder Mountain. Cultivating thunder magic within its various buildings is twice as effective.

Furthermore, every hundred years, a thunder pearl will condense within the pavilion, unleashing a strike equivalent to a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure against the enemy.

Once all the courtyards and gardens on Leishan have completed their evolution, dozens of thunder pearls can be harvested in one round.

If unleashed simultaneously, it would be enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Deep within lies a Thunder Pool, calm and still, seemingly harboring something even more terrifying.

The integration of the fifth-tier spiritual mountain will greatly accelerate the evolution of Shenxiao Thunder Mountain, while making this cave heaven suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to reside in.

However, once he started to integrate into the process, Ge Cang was stuck in place and it was impossible for him to drag a sacred mountain around.

Fortunately, some progress has been made in the past sixty years, and we have traveled more than two thousand miles from the depths of the boundless sea of ​​suffering towards the outer regions.

When will I be able to fully integrate into Mount Ling? When will I be able to leave the boundless sea of ​​suffering?

Over the years, in the sea of ​​suffering, he has taken in several young cultivators to train, but they are only used as cleaning servants and are not even considered as disciples.

Since he was a descendant of Qi Yue, Ge Cang felt he had no talent to teach and could not bear to see his disciple pass away before him.

Therefore, no matter how outstanding a talent is, they will not be accepted as a disciple.

However, these cleaning boys, having been around Ge Cang for a long time, couldn't help but ask questions, and their cultivation speed on Shenxiao Thunder Mountain was extremely fast.

According to fellow disciples who visited Ancestor Ge Cang two years ago, the two most outstanding disciples have successfully formed their cores.

In this way, the Qingfeng Sect is no longer the sect that lacked top-tier immortal seedlings it once was.

Conversely, some of the intense competition has become excessively involutionary.

Take the true disciples as an example; they are only qualified to be candidates if they have reached the point of forming their core before the age of one hundred.

"There's no need to worry too much. The edict doesn't specify the number of people, and true disciples aren't allowed to go... You might just win the ancestor's favor and have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Liang Lun gave his disciple a few detailed instructions, and only after the disciple had left and was alone looking up at the blue sky above did he let out a rare sigh.

"How much time do I have left? Should I continue climbing the Great Dao or switch to the Ghost Path and live for another thousand years..."

The Supreme Elders have received a notification from the Jade Rabbit Fairy, the natal spirit beast of the White Ancestor, that there is only one last chance to communicate with the Immortal Gods.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to endure the consequences alone again if you become a ghost cultivator in the future.

Just like the new members of the ten Fengdu regions in the past, only one in a hundred successfully transformed.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy spread the word that the Ancestor would only help one more person switch to the Ghost Path.

Liang Lun's dilemma lies in this: his mid-Nascent Soul stage cannot be said to be completely hopeless in achieving the Great Dao.

At this age, competing for a spot as a ghost cultivator is something even I find somewhat unsatisfying.

If you miss this opportunity, when Old Ancestor Bai ascends to immortality and you yourself grow old and frail, you will have no way out.

……

North Sea, water eye.

Dark reefs, waves crashing against the rocks, creating swirling currents.

But looking down from the air, all you can see is a dark expanse, devoid of any light.

Entering the water eye and following the dark current, there was still no trace of light.

In this sea area, it seems that only dark ink is the color.

There were no spirit fish or sea beasts to be seen, and those below the fourth rank could not withstand the vortex of the water eye and would be turned into mincemeat in an instant.

After a thousand feet, the ink finally faded, replaced by a jade-green color.

Only then could one barely make out a huge clam shell opening and closing, lying quietly on the seabed.

As they got closer, they discovered that the clam was actually a living creature with a profound aura, its peak fourth rank almost reaching the fifth rank.

Or, to put it another way, the upper limit of the demon's essence has already reached the fifth-tier standard.

However, in other aspects, it is still only at the fourth level, and it is still no match for a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

Once the clam shell opened, it revealed a magnificent and resplendent interior, just like a palace, with layers of shimmering light subtly shining through.

Inside, hundreds of fist-sized luminous pearls shimmered with golden light, illuminating the several-acre square clam shell.

A fair-skinned girl jumped into a clam shell; she was exceptionally beautiful and had a lively personality.

"Master, I have completely refined my hands. Even if I use my full strength, they won't reveal their true form!"

The girl stretched out her fair hands and swung them happily.

"If you had listened to me and stopped being so playful, you could have completely refined your bloodline thirty years earlier, instead of wasting so much time."

Song Ding sat on a chair made of a giant coral reef, holding a piece of refined gold in his hands, which he had refined countless times.

Each time the material is refined to perfection without leaving any impurities, some high-grade metal ore is added, making the cost of this artifact increasingly higher.

After pacifying the North Sea and subduing Xuanzhou, he has spent the past few years living in seclusion, either accumulating the foundation of the Nascent Soul stage or refining the Five Elements Flying Sword.

Inspired by the Five Elements True Feather, the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light evolved into the Five-Colored Divine Light.

To maximize Song Ding's strengths, he would imitate the Five Elements True Feather and forge five flying swords, each corresponding to one of the five elements.

This matter became his biggest goal before and after his transformation into a deity.

The combination of the Gui Cang Sacred Body and the Five Elements Divine Light caused his combat power to surge, allowing him to perform at a level comparable to that of seniors who had cultivated for many years, even though he had only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage.

They sold the corpses of the two demon lords on the black market and obtained a fifth-tier flying sword that met their requirements.

It is said that the buyer was a master alchemist who, in order to pursue his alchemy career and pay the increasingly bloated interest from the spiritual material merchants, had no choice but to put his ancestral Zhurong sword up for auction on the black market.

The black market is responsible for coordinating any discrepancies in the intermediate requirements.

It is said that the black market in the Eastern Region even added several top-grade spirit stones to find this pure five-element flying sword that perfectly meets the requirements.

It gathers the essence of nine kinds of heavenly fire and blends them together. Without adding any other spiritual materials, it is stuck into the ground and creates a sea of ​​fire, burning the land to a scorched wasteland.

He then exchanged the remaining fifth-tier demonic dragon spine with a piece of ten-thousand-year-old Vajra tree heartwood with the seven-colored deer demon on Xuanzhou, and after refining it into a sword embryo, he stopped, not allowing it to truly achieve the rank of a flying sword.

Once the tribulation is successfully overcome and the power of creation descends, the Wooden Heart Sword Embryo will exclusively possess it.

Without any bottlenecks, he instantly surged to the fifth rank and named himself Jumang.

Now, Song Ding possessed three fifth-tier flying swords: Fu Hai, Zhu Rong, and Ju Mang.

The refined gold he was refining in his hand was originally a piece of meteorite gold from outer space, and it had been infused with no less than ten kinds of fifth-grade refined gold spiritual materials.

Only Song Ding, who had plundered the assets of the two great demon kings of the North Sea, could afford to do this, sparing no expense to add to the wealth.

The complete set of Five Elements Flying Swords, which was planned, is already taking shape.

"Your grandmaster has decreed that outstanding disciples from all over the world be summoned. Among my disciples, you are the most outstanding. You will set off for Rotten Axe Mountain tomorrow."

Dropping the meteorite gold from the heavens, Song Ding said solemnly.

He married and had children in the North Sea, and all the disciples he took in were from the Xuanzhou human race. This young girl, Le Yao, was from his wife's clan.

He carries the bloodline of the demon race and initially cultivates at an astonishing speed, but if he wants to transform into a Nascent Soul, he must first refine this bloodline and be able to completely control it.

Otherwise, if the demon blood boils during the tribulation, causing anomalies in the heavenly tribulation, all previous efforts could be wasted.

"Wow, does that mean I can go to Rotten Axe Mountain and see my grandmaster!"

Le Yao jumped up and down. Perhaps due to the influence of her demon bloodline, she was still cheerful and innocent despite her age.

“Grandmaster is a man of extraordinary learning. You should not be so lazy over there and waste this rare opportunity… I will also go there before Grandmaster ascends to heaven.”

Song Ding waved Yue Yao away, did some calculations with his fingers, and still managed a bitter smile.
