Born with immortal seed

Chapter 811 All forces
"They're not on the same path as us..."

Han Fang's tone revealed an undisguised envy; having come from a humble background, he had suffered many times more hardships than others.

"The ascendant was named Sang Ju, and it is said that she was a descendant of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in the lower realm. As soon as she ascended, the two adults took her to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's residence in the immortal city and handed her over to their own people to make arrangements."

"Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"

Bai Zichen felt a sudden jolt in his heart and said softly.

"The strongest sect in the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm can also be said to be the strongest sword immortal sect in the Earth Immortal Realm. The previous sect leader was one of the Five Sons of the Human Race... The successor is said to be a late-stage Integration Realm expert, one of the strongest in the world. The successors of such sects who can ascend are all key personnel to be cultivated. Why would they waste their time in the Armor Guard?"

Han Fang was eager to befriend him and made no attempt to hide his true intentions, speaking frankly and openly.

"I wonder which other top-tier forces in the Earthly Immortal Realm we should be wary of?"

Most of Bai Zichen's abilities come from the Heartless Sword Immortal.

Judging from the timeline, Wuxin Sword Immortal should be the junior brother of the previous Tianjianzi. He went to the Hidden Dragon Realm repeatedly because he was persecuted, seemingly to search for something.

The other cultivators who descended to the mortal realm were definitely after the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure.

If it were him, things might not be the same; he is widely recognized as a potential fusion candidate.

Because of this connection, Bai Zichen kept his distance from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

Because it is unclear what the true purpose of the Heartless Sword Immortal's legacy in the mortal realm was, and it is unclear whether the Heartless Sword Immortal and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion had any irreconcilable enmity.

The Purple Star Thunder Sword and the Supreme Pure Lightning Sword Box are likely top-tier treasures even within the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

As soon as they show their faces, they will be recognized.

Fortunately, the two sides do not belong to the same immortal realm, so the possibility of them being disturbed is not high.

"Among the myriad worlds and the nine immortal realms, if one were to choose one, the Dao Court would still be the first choice... Although the Heavenly Emperor has not appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, it is said that he has completely left the Earthly Immortal Realm and gone to the True Immortal Realm, which we cannot understand or touch. The glory of the Three Provinces and Nine Offices, the Six Emperors and Nine Luminaries and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals illuminating all the worlds has passed, but even a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and no single family's power can compare."

Han Fang clearly harbored deep nostalgia for the past glory of the Daoist court.

As a Mahayana True Immortal, the Heavenly Emperor single-handedly established the Dao Court, governing the heavens and earth, and setting the laws for all realms.

At his peak, he unified the Immortal Realm without any controversy, and foreign lands and nations all groveled before him.

The Heavenly Demon Realm and the Heavenly Demon Realm both withdrew from the connected world, guarding their gates and daring not to confront them at all.

The existence of a Mahayana True Immortal is incomparable to that of any number of combined beings.

Another Mahayana immortal, named Taiyi, attained enlightenment a million years before the Heavenly Emperor.

Aside from leaving behind a branch of the Taiyi Dao lineage, it didn't have much of a presence. It only appeared once at the Mahayana realm to defeat the Azure Dragon True Spirit of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

There has been no further news of him since then, supposedly because he went to pursue a higher and more transcendent realm.

The two left the jade platform, passing mostly armored guards, chatting as they walked.

"Below the Dao Court, there is the Heavenly Sword Pavilion I just mentioned, the Saha Buddha Land, a sacred Buddhist land, the Seven Mountains Sect, a sect of unorthodox and miscellaneous schools, the Five Emperors City, an alliance of rogue cultivators, and the Underworld Palace, which governs reincarnation..."

Han Fang listed them one by one on his fingers, and would give a brief introduction to each of the combined forces.

Regarding the famous powerful figures and characteristics of this family.

Although the explanations were limited by his limited knowledge and were quite basic, they were sufficient for Bai Zichen.

At least you'll have a basic understanding of the Immortal Realm, so you won't be caught off guard and not know who the other person is when you have a conflict with them.

This is not like when he was in the human world, where others would avoid him, but he didn't need to avoid others.

"However, Brother Bai, there is only one place you should pay the most attention to: the Heavenly Palace!"

Han Fang's expression changed, and he lowered his voice.

"The Heavenly Palace was established after a powerful figure in the Daoist Court betrayed us and took nearly one-fifth of its personnel with him. Otherwise, we wouldn't have weakened so quickly... The Heavenly Palace is extremely hostile towards us. If you encounter them outside, it's a fight to the death. Don't even think about making peace or negotiating. Be extremely careful when you encounter them in the future. Don't be deceived by words. Just kill them directly."

"Moreover, because it separated from the Dao Court, it knows our internal affairs extremely well. I heard that it has secretly bewitched and won over many people, making it the most harmful party to the Dao Court."

As Han Fang explained, Bai Zichen's heart sank.

Joining the Guardian was a strategic move, as it allowed them to leverage the resources of the Dao Court while avoiding the dangers of competition among various factions in the Immortal Realm.

But upon hearing this, it seems to be beset by both internal and external troubles.

Not only must we guard against external forces, but we cannot truly trust even our own colleagues.

'Fortunately, the Guardian's service period is only three hundred years. By then, I'll have already reached the Refinement of Void realm, and with further enhancements to my other supernatural abilities, I'll have the power to protect myself. Traveling alone to other immortal realms won't be a problem. For me, being free without constraints is more advantageous.'

Following Han Fang, they arrived at the foot of a sacred mountain, where thousands of caves were crowded from low to high, utilizing every bit of spiritual energy to the maximum extent through array nodes.

Bai Zichen found his own cave dwelling by following the guard's token.

After Han Fang left his true essence imprint on his token so that they could communicate with each other, they entered their respective cave dwellings.

Compared to the lower realm, the space was extremely cramped, consisting of only a living room, a quiet room, and a pill-making room.

However, he never expected to enjoy himself at the Imperial Guard, so he took a walk around and settled down in the quiet room.

"This Mysterious Heaven Great Sage Divine Incantation Scripture is quite unique. It involves reciting a single incantation day and night. Once its true meaning is fully understood, one can condense armor and acquire various supernatural powers."

Bai Zichen took out the White Armor Guardian's martial arts manual bestowed upon him from the jade platform and carefully examined it.

Even if you don't plan to cultivate, you can still learn about the differences between the cultivation methods of the Earthly Immortal Realm and those of the lower realms, and understand the level of power they possess.

Only in this way can one accurately assess their own capabilities.

"There are a total of eighteen divine incantations, but mastering twelve of them is enough to achieve the perfect Nascent Soul stage. The supernatural powers generated will vary depending on the incantation chosen."

I've never seen this kind of technique before, which greatly reduces the difficulty of learning it.

Practitioners can choose the appropriate divine incantation according to their own circumstances.

There is no need to resort to brute force when facing incompatible divine spells; there is no way to counter them indirectly.

Although he did not cultivate, Bai Zichen demonstrated it several times in his sea of ​​consciousness, and after circulating it for a few cycles, he already had a good grasp of it.

I should have no problem cultivating these eighteen divine incantations on my own; I don't know if it's because the methods are compatible or because of my sacred body.

Over the next few months, Bai Zichen's activities did not extend beyond the eastern district of the inner city, and he met several colleagues besides Han Fang.

One of them was also an ascended cultivator who had arrived more than a hundred years earlier than him, and they got along very well.

"Brother Bai, I heard that you finally managed to get into the Mortal Transformation Pool yesterday and wash away the first wave of turbidity?"

The man in white who spoke had red lips and white teeth, an elegant demeanor, and was extremely handsome.

"Indeed, I did not expect the Transcendent Pool to be so vast, almost as large as the Great Swamp."

Bai Zichen raised his wine cup and clinked it against the white-clad man opposite him.

Instead of staying in their cave, the two chose a wine shop in the eastern district and ordered celestial wine and spiritual fruits to drink together.

The man in white was none other than Lin Hejun, a white-armored guard who was also an ascendant. He was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but had already eliminated his turbid energy and was preparing to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

"Haha, I felt the same way when I first saw it. Who would have thought that the so-called Transcendent Pool could hold tens of thousands of people at the same time without any problem?"

The opportunity to use the Mortal Transformation Pool did not come immediately; the Jade Platform Celestial Official said that there were many people ahead of them in line and they would have to wait.

At first, I thought it was normal for such a small pool to take several months to fill.

But once inside, I realized that wasn't the case.

There are only a few ascended cultivators in Langyuan, how could they possibly occupy the Transcendent Pool without having enough time to use it?

After talking with Lin Hejun, I learned that this was a common practice, and he had received the same treatment back then.

"If you want it to be faster, you can only ask the corresponding celestial official to come out and give you some benefits, otherwise he will definitely drag it out to the limit every time before arranging it."

Lin Hejun, speaking from experience, recounted the inside story.

"I realized it too late, and it took me ninety years to dispel the turbid energy... If I had acted in time, it might have only taken sixty years."

Bai Zichen shook his head slightly, not expecting that the Dao Court had become so corrupt.

This is only the main fighting force, the Imperial Guards; wouldn't the other three provinces and nine departments be even more corrupt internally?

The consumption of Crimson Immortal Grass should be separated from the consumption of Immortal Pond by at least ten years, so there is no need to rush to bribe the immortal officials. It is still possible to make a decision when the time comes and there is no other way.

Soaking in the Immortal Pool, one feels as if their skin and flesh are about to fall off. Apart from the seven immortal bones, fine, worm-like threads emerge from each bone.

When I first left the pool, I felt completely limp and couldn't even stand up straight.

If soaked continuously, it is possible to completely soften the physical body of a Nascent Soul cultivator, making their bones brittle.

"Now that Brother Lin has dispelled the turbid energy, it should be soon that he will advance to the Void Refinement stage... I congratulate him in advance, and he will soon be wearing blue armor."

Bai Zichen didn't really care about such trivial matters; what he was truly concerned about was the great cause of refining the Void.

"It can't be that fast, don't flatter me to death..."

Lin Hejun waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he dared not.

"To achieve the rebirth of the Void, one must unify the five elements. I originally had the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root, and only after ascending did I acquire the Wood Spiritual Root. Just meeting the requirements for advancement would take hundreds of years, not to mention the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Rebirth."

When he said this, his expression was sincere and genuine, not merely modesty.

Fortunately, his lifespan was extended in the Earthly Immortal Realm after he transformed into a Nascent Soul; otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the chance to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

"If the Five Elements are unified, one's own physical constitution can be transformed into the Five Spiritual Roots? Wouldn't cultivators born with the Five Spiritual Roots have an absolute advantage?"

Bai Zichen was taken aback, thinking it was about the birth and death of the five elements and the fusion of true meaning.

Unexpectedly, it was so direct, literally the five elements returning to one, turning into the worst pseudo-spiritual root in the human realm.

"If we have the aptitude of the five spiritual roots, how could we possibly have the chance to ascend... Even in the Earth Immortal Realm, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage with the five spiritual roots, it's just not like the lower realms where it's a death sentence."

In the lower realm, those with celestial spiritual roots are considered the pride of heaven, but upon arriving in the Earthly Immortal Realm, they have to start all over again. This has a tremendous impact on Lin Hejun, leaving him with a bitter smile on his face.

It takes time to accept the fact that all the common sense from the first half of one's life has been overturned.
