Born with immortal seed

Chapter 810 Changes After Ascension
As for the other benefits of the Guardian, Bai Zichen didn't find many of them appealing.

As for his salary, Bai Jia only receives ten spirit stones a year, and it would take him a hundred years to accumulate ten immortal crystals without spending a single penny.

In addition, one can exchange for a chance to enter the Immortal Abode once every hundred years.

The mansion is a sixth-order spiritual land, and if you're lucky, you might even stumble upon a seventh-order spiritual land that has formed by chance.

One year of cultivation on a seventh-tier spiritual ground is equivalent to ten years of cultivation outside.

In addition, the Jiawei do not need to worry about the cultivation method.

Once you reach the corresponding realm, the Daoist court will bestow upon you cultivation techniques.

White-armored cultivators practice the "Mysterious Heavenly Great Sage Divine Mantra Sutra," blue-armored cultivators practice the "True Martial Original Transmission Mysterious Skill," and purple-armored cultivators practice the "You Sheng Heavenly Venerable Method."

The three exercises share a common origin and are related in a gradual and progressive manner.

The Mysterious Heaven Great Sage Divine Mantra and Wonderful Scripture can be cultivated to the point of perfect transformation into a divine being, while the True Martial Original Mysterious Skill can be cultivated to the point of perfect refinement into emptiness, and the highest level, the Blessed Holy Heavenly Venerable Method, can directly lead to the point of perfect integration into the body.

Other supernatural abilities are unknown; all that is known is that the armor worn by the guards is derived from the cultivation technique, and its defensive effect is equivalent to that of a defensive magic weapon of the same level.

Its advantage lies in its comprehensive defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding all kinds of attacks, including those targeting the primordial spirit or suppression techniques.

Moreover, once the armor is broken, it can be reassembled in just one hundred days.

As for its drawbacks, the pursuit of all-around performance has resulted in the armor's performance being only mediocre compared to other defensive magic items of the same level.

“Apart from the You Sheng Tian Zun Fa, the other cultivation methods are of no interest to me... Moreover, these three cultivation methods have an absolute suppressive power over the lower level. For example, if two Nascent Soul cultivators cultivate the Xuan Tian Da Sheng Shen Zhou Miao Jing and the Zhen Wu Ben Chuan Xuan Gong at the same time, the former will be crushed by the latter.”

For this reason alone, Bai Zichen would not easily choose to cultivate this kind of technique.

Who knows if the Heavenly Venerable of Blessed Sage's Dharma has been passed down to the highest level, and if the Daoist Court still possesses a supreme technique that can control everyone.

Given the Daoist court's layered constraints and strict hierarchical structure, it is indeed very likely that this will happen.

The chart of ghosts and gods in my hand always felt that it was inextricably linked to the Taoist system and was not as simple as it seemed.

"For me, the biggest attraction is the ability to quickly dispel the turbidity and receive the Five Elements Unification Method for free. If things go smoothly, I may very well advance to the Refinement Void Realm in a hundred years, a pace that no one could have imagined."

When they first joined the Jiawei team, there was a training and adaptation process; it would be decades before they actually took up their posts.

If things continue to develop this way, he won't have time to get involved in factional struggles and conflicts, and he'll escape the stage where he could be used as cannon fodder before everyone else even realizes what's happening.

The Refining Void Armor Guardian is certainly not a big shot in Langyuan, but being so young and having just ascended, he will definitely become a key figure to be cultivated.

Having gained some value, they shouldn't be sent to the abyss as cannon fodder.

He had offended both the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Heavenly Demon Realm in the human realm, and his chances of survival were slim no matter which side he faced.

Thinking about it this way, the scales in my heart began to tip in my favor.

"Having returned to the Immortal Realm, have you remembered anything?"

Bai Zichen summoned the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword and connected with the one with the greatest potential among all his flying swords.

"Not yet, but with the expiration of the Heaven and Earth's limit, I feel my power slowly recovering... If I could go to the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace, I could return to a sixth-tier flying sword in the blink of an eye. If I don't have that opportunity, it should be about a thousand years later."

The little purple sword spirit happily circled twice.

Other fifth-tier flying swords that come to the Immortal Realm will remain fifth-tier unless they have an extraordinary opportunity.

Even a flying sword like the Queen Mother of the West's Golden Sword, which was only one step away from the sixth rank, still needs to return to the Purple Mansion for further training before it can see the dawn of the sixth rank.

"Excellent! When you reach the sixth rank, you will be able to command the sword formation. With a leader, the Dao Sheng Dao Mie swords will be much more stable when used."

Bai Zichen clapped and cheered at the changes in the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword.

Logically, if he didn't go to the front lines of Tianyuan and stayed within the Jiawei system, he should be relatively safe.

His upbringing in the human world filled him with insecurity, especially when he was the weaker party in the environment.

Even before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Bai Zichen was already nearly invincible in the lower realms.

Under conventional methods, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have no way to deal with him.

To be precise, before he made up his mind to risk most of his life, he was invincible.

Once they reach the Divine Transformation stage, they will be invincible in the world.

In the realm of immortals, not to mention anything else, even the two blue-armored guards he met for the first time after his ascension could easily kill him.

When the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword clashed with a cultivator who had already reached the Refinement stage, the loss of two hundred years of lifespan was merely a superficial injury, causing no real pain or discomfort.

Even if multiple swords are unleashed simultaneously, drawing upon the river of time, only one person can be eliminated if the opponent fails to dodge.

Being able to defeat a Void Refinement cultivator in the lower realm who is restricted by the laws of heaven and earth and has sealed their cultivation does not mean that one can easily defeat a Void Refinement cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm who can unleash 100% of their strength.

A warrior like the Blue Armor Guardian, with his rich combat experience and no obvious weaknesses, is not so easy to defeat.

Having a sixth-tier flying sword might give one a chance to create a miracle.

At least in front of cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, they will have a slight advantage in protecting themselves.

Similarly, one must be careful that no one is envious and has their eyes on the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword.

Bai Zichen experienced the changes in lifespan again, and sure enough, it increased from two thousand years in the human realm to three thousand years.

I took another stroll around Shaohua Cave, and sure enough, it was undergoing tremendous changes.

Every corner of the cave is undergoing dramatic changes every moment.

As Mount Ling rose and Mount Ling expanded, the quality of many mineral veins was directly upgraded by one grade.

The spiritual plants in the herb garden bloomed and bore fruit one after another, withering and dying before being reborn. All those below the fifth rank were upgraded by one minor rank.

Summoning his natal spirit beast, the Jade Rabbit didn't change much. Bai Taotao was already at the Nascent Soul stage, so it was impossible for her to reach the Divine Transformation stage in one fell swoop.

But the moment Gun Gun ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, it fell into a deep sleep again.

When he wakes up again, he will probably be at the peak of the fourth rank.

He does possess a trace of Bai Ze demon god bloodline; if he lived in the Earthly Immortal Realm, he could cultivate to the fifth rank with his eyes closed.

With more opportunities and personal effort, reaching the Demon Saint realm is not out of the question.

Everything was normal inside the cave. Bai Zichen retreated to the stone house and rested quietly for the night.

The first night in the Immortal Realm was spent in tranquility.

I experienced it for the first time, cultivating the Cave Profound God-Slaying Sword Scripture in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In a vague sense, I felt that after ascending to the upper realm, the cultivation of the sword scripture was much more enjoyable, whereas it had actually been restricted in the mortal realm.

Judging from this, the cultivation speed after reaching the Void Refinement stage is guaranteed.

……

Langyuan, the inner city.

The presence of the Purple Armor Commander in this area makes the Armor Guards very prominent in this immortal city; half of the eastern district is occupied by the Armor Guards.

Its numbers far exceed those of other immortal cities, and its control over the Dao Court is also the strongest.

The three combined figures in the city, besides You Gaogong, are Yu Shushi Xiangxianjun and Beichuan Daoren.

“Brother Bai, this is the official residence of us White Armor Guards. We go through here to receive our salaries, arrange our rest days, and issue documents… You still have some lingering turbidity in your body, so the residence won’t be assigning you any tasks for the time being, but your salary will be halved.”

Han Fang pointed to the tall jade platform in front of him and explained it in detail.

"However, there are fifth-tier spiritual lands anywhere in the inner city, which is barely enough for us. Unlike cultivators in the outer city, who have to pay extra spirit stones to live in a fifth-tier cave."

"Thanks to your guidance, fellow Daoist. Please lead the way."

Bai Zichen looked up and immediately withdrew the divine power of the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes.

Looking around, one could see countless powerful auras emanating from the jade platform, all above one's own.

A burst of inspiration, so bright it was blinding.

As soon as it was light, he went to the Flying Well to find the two blue-armored guards and express his willingness to join.

After weighing the options, I made a decision and didn't hesitate any longer; both choices have their own paths to take.

Who is better and who is worse can only be known once you actually embark on the journey.

Tian Chengyang came out to greet him, exchanged a few words with him, wrote down the edict and stamped it, then had someone take him to complete the formalities.

Having just met Han Fang yesterday, I naturally chose someone I was familiar with.

Once they become colleagues, once the other person starts talking, they don't hold back as much and can talk about almost anything.

This person is a native of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, born outside the Immortal City, and his parents are ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

He managed a hundred acres of spiritual fields thanks to his father's skill in planting spiritual plants, and his mother was skilled in making talismans. She raised him with great difficulty.

Later, after passing the examination, he entered a Taoist palace as a candidate for the Imperial Guard. After undergoing numerous trials, he became a White Armor Guard after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

In Han Fang's words, the white-armored guards were practically the lowest-ranking members of the Dao Court, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was already a very good job.

When carrying out ordinary tasks, a hundred reserve guards can be dispatched without requesting permission, and they will not bear any responsibility even if they are crippled or killed.

Not just any Nascent Soul cultivator can become a White Armor Guardian.

For someone of Han Fang's background to become a White Armor Guard is practically an incredible stroke of luck.

According to Arita Seiyo's handwritten order, Bai Zichen's onboarding process went very smoothly, without any difficulties.

The only celestial official in charge of registration was a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a long red dress, who carefully examined him for a moment.

They were probably curious about Bai Zichen's status as an ascendant, since Langyuan might not see an ascendant cultivator even once a year.

"Brother Bai, you must keep the token safe. Besides serving as an identity document, you can't do anything in the Immortal City without it. If you lose it, it will be a huge hassle to replace it."

Han Fang is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and there is still a long way to go before he can break through to the Void Refinement realm.

Coupled with his family background, he had no powerful connections in the Jiawei (甲卫) team.

It's a rare opportunity to hitch a ride with a near-Void Refinement cultivator who knows nothing about this place; it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

There is a high probability that the other party will become a Green Armor Refinement Void cultivator several hundred years later.

If the relationship is maintained well, you can give him a good boost.

Of course, it would be even better if we could get in touch with the other ascendant from yesterday. Thinking of the discussions among the others after we returned, Han Fang spoke up:

"Brother Bai, you probably don't know this, but not long after you left, another ascendant came to the well. Two ascendants in one day, if we don't count that scandal from hundreds of years ago, it would have to be traced back to a thousand years ago."

"Did that person also join the Armored Guard?"

Bai Zichen was taken aback at first, then reacted and asked curiously.

At first, I wondered who in the lower realm was qualified to ascend, but then I remembered that there were hundreds of Ascension Wells, which were for ascending cultivators from other worlds.
