Born with immortal seed

Chapter 847 Eighth-Order Secret
Ananda, the Dragon King...

Bai Zichen secretly memorized this name, thinking that if he had the opportunity to go to Tianyuan in the future, he could challenge this seventh-tier being if he had enough strength.

Instead of just hearing a name and knowing that it is of great use to Zhulong's Yin-Yang Eyes, they rushed straight in.

"The rest of the supernatural abilities and secret techniques all require a certain bloodline; those who are not of the demon race cannot cultivate them. Forcing them to cultivate will only lead to a clash between true essence and demonic power..."

Gun Gun gnawed on its thick, chubby fingers, pondered for a while with a silly, dreamy look, and then said as if waking from a dream:
"By the way, the Bai Ze Demon God is a scholar of heaven and man, and has almost reached the pinnacle of all generations of demons, but he is still helpless on the path to the eighth rank... While envying the human race for walking the path of Mahayana, he set his sights on the True Spirits, collected information on all the True Spirits that have appeared in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and tried to find an opportunity to reach the eighth rank from them."

"Although it did not turn out as it wished, in terms of understanding true spirits, he is definitely the number one in the Heavenly Demon Realm. There are even rumors that there are relics of sacred beasts hidden in Bai Ze's Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, but this has never been confirmed."

"And the true spirit that disappeared after the battle with the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race was none other than the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, which had a close relationship with its master!"

Gun Gun recognized Bai Zichen as its master and followed him since he was a cub. At that time, Bai Zichen had just established his foundation. It can be said that Gun Gun accompanied Bai Zichen from his humble beginnings to this day.

If anyone knows the most secrets about Bai Zichen, it has to be this mutated bear beast.

"The existence of sacred beasts is like that of the Mahayana True Immortals of the human race, beyond the comprehension of other beings. Even with the power of the Bai Ze Demon God, it was impossible to determine which Great Dao it wielded. Later, after visiting the battlefield of the two supreme beings many times and feeling the aftershocks, I was able to make a deduction... The Azure Dragon Sacred Beast should wield the power of time and breathe the years, and its dragon body is the manifestation of the Great Dao of Time."

Bai Zichen was shocked and asked in surprise, "Isn't that the same path that the Heavenly Emperor is taking?"

The Heavenly Emperor traversed the ages, creating the Six Imperial Supreme Divine Art single-handedly. He was hailed as the most legendary cultivator in the history of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Great Dao of Time must have existed within the true meaning he cultivated.

The aura of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast greatly stimulates and benefits the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, which is related to the Great Dao of Time. Upon deeper reflection, this makes perfect sense.

But both supreme beings were intricately connected to him, and he too embarked on the path of time.

To say that this was merely a coincidence would be to deceive oneself.

"Yes, that unparalleled battlefield ruins span the Void, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Demon Realm. Even with the power of the Bai Ze Demon God, it took a hundred years to find not a single clue. In fact, apart from a few top demon gods, other demon races would quickly forget about it even if they knew about it. It suspects that two eighth-order beings directly extracted this history, forming a small world that outsiders cannot enter, causing everyone to forget this time that happened on this land."

Gun Gun, in a plain and unremarkable tone, uttered a chilling guess.

"Did they directly steal the memories of history and create a completely new world? If they were two eighth-order beings who wield the Great Dao of Time, it seems possible that they could actually do something so bizarre and unbelievable."

Bai Zichen was taken aback for a moment, then accepted this bold conjecture.

He knew very well that his conversation with his natal spirit beast might touch upon the highest mysteries of this world.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the furnace overturned, and a huge crack appeared in the sky, as if the end of the universe was approaching.

The river of time behind Xiaobai's primordial spirit began to tremble violently, like a raging storm threatening to overturn the entire river and nearly cause it to stop flowing.

All of this seemed to stem from fear of what was about to be heard.

It is estimated that only a being of such profound wisdom as the Bai Ze Demon God could have such insight. Even the five sons of the human race may not know the inside story of that battle.

"This is also something that Bai Ze, the demon god, doesn't understand. In its understanding, the eighth-level realm is about absolute control over the Great Dao, and it's impossible for others to touch it... If someone has already occupied this path, there is absolutely no possibility for later people to cultivate it, unless the predecessor dies or gives up voluntarily."

Rolling around, it repeated the conclusion of the White Ze Demon God, as if that symbol of demonic wisdom had truly descended to this place.

"It therefore speculated that the True Spirit was born in accordance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, while the Mahayana True Immortal was cultivated by himself, so the two did not conflict. However, the same Great Dao of Time caused the disorder of time, which is why the two disappeared at the same time. Otherwise, how could the immortal Mahayana True Immortal and the demon race True Spirit have disappeared for so long?"

"How could the Azure Dragon's essence blood have been brought to the lower realm by the Heartless Sword Immortal? Could this Heavenly Sword Pavilion cultivator have some connection with the Heavenly Emperor and the True Spirit?"

If the Heavenly Emperor has already seized the Great Dao of Time, it means that no matter how much Bai Zichen cultivates, he will not be able to reach the Mahayana stage.

This corresponds to the strange phenomenon he witnessed, in which he was devoured by the twelve-winged cicada.

However, that's too far in the future, and it's too early to worry about it now.

After all, they haven't even seen where the fusion body is yet, let alone the fact that only two Mahayana True Immortals have emerged from among billions of cultivators.

"I don't know, but with that drop of Azure Dragon essence blood, the master can completely absorb and refine it, which is equivalent to possessing the most elite bloodline of the demon race... When breaking through to the Fusion stage, there is no need for the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Object and the Primordial Qi Azure, only the bloodline sublimation is needed."

Gun Gun got to the point: how to utilize that drop of sacred beast blood.

"I have the complete formula for the refining technique in my memory. Should I write it down and give it to my master?"

"Transform into a demon? No, no..."

Unlike those desperate cultivators who have reached the end of their rope, Bai Zichen is quite young among those attempting to break through to the Integration stage, and he has already met one of the two conditions.

There's no reason for a human cultivator to become a demon instead.

If the mysterious Dao body becomes ineffective after becoming a demon, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

"However, you should first reveal the secret technique, and I will keep it to see if it has any other uses in the future."

The plump palm of his hand flickered with cloud-patterned fire, and one by one, demonic characters were carved into the ground.

The entire text consists of only a few dozen characters, yet it is extremely difficult to understand, even with numerous translations and explanations.

Each of the demon race's characters can be used to create lengthy treatises of tens of thousands of words.

This is a unique script invented by Bai Ze, and it is only circulated among a very small number of demon gods in the demon race.

"Why does this secret technique seem so similar to the 'Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun' technique?"

Time flies, and several days passed in the blink of an eye before Bai Zichen finally understood the entirety of this demon clan secret technique.

The more I looked at it, the more I realized that it was very similar to the bloodline enhancement technique I obtained when I wiped out the Starry Sea in the lower realm.

And fundamentally, they all share the same principles of practice.

However, the "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" technique is much simpler and easier to learn.

"The secret technique of the Starry Sea was most likely passed down from the Heavenly Demon Realm, with most of its content omitted..."

Gun Gun has now unlocked a trace of the Bai Ze Demon God's inheritance. Even though it's only a drop in the ocean compared to the original, it can still be considered a great sage among the demon race.

"So that's how it is. The connection between the Hidden Dragon Realm and the Upper Realm is even closer than I imagined... The Earth Immortal Realm is like this, as is the Heavenly Demon Clan, and I believe the Heavenly Demon Realm will be no exception."

Bai Zichen's gaze was deep as he gently tapped the tallest Bodhi tree beside him with his knuckles.

It seems that the essence of the Azure Dragon has two uses.

One approach is to wait until one has mastered a supreme divine power like the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and then imbue one's avatar with the bloodline of a sacred beast.

In this way, one can benefit from the bloodline of the sacred beast without affecting one's own divine nature.

The second method is to directly bestow the essence blood of the Azure Dragon upon Gun Gun.

This fool is a pure demon, possessing the bloodline of a sacred beast. As long as he survives by sheer luck, his subsequent cultivation will surely be smooth sailing.

Becoming a demon god is a foregone conclusion.

However, since Gun Gun has the bloodline of Bai Ze and already possesses the potential of a seventh-tier being, it would be a waste to immediately erase its past bloodline with the essence of the Azure Dragon.

Moreover, the blood essence of a sacred beast is simply too far-fetched for a low-grade fifth-tier spirit beast.

"This secret technique wasn't named by the Bai Ze demon god? Let's just call it the Holy Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun Technique, it's simple and easy to remember."

After finally leaving Shaohua Cave, Gun Gun frolicked in the Bodhi Forest, showing no signs of being a spirit beast with the bloodline of Bai Ze and great potential.

After running a couple of steps, he tripped over a fallen leaf and fell flat on his face.

"As one of the strongest demon races in the Heavenly Demon Realm and an omniscient sage, Bai Ze Demon God's understanding of the Mahayana and True Spirit levels is probably the closest to the truth... The others haven't even touched the shadow of the eighth level, so they don't even have the right to talk about it."

Bai Zichen learned two important pieces of news from Gun Gun today.

Knowing that the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast is the True Spirit of Time will play a decisive role in how he will deal with that drop of essence blood in the future.

The path to enlightenment is unique and can never be shared by two people.

After the fusion, perhaps we should consider whether to cultivate another great path.

We still need to confirm that it is an unclaimed vacancy and has not been occupied by the two Mahayana True Immortals in front.

Normally, no cultivator would place this above their own path.

The Mahayana realm is like a flower in water or the moon in a mirror. Throughout history, countless cultivators with exceptional talent, comprehension, and fortune have achieved this level of mastery, yet only two have ever attained it.

Why jeopardize our current strength for an event with a probability close to zero?

Only those who have reached the level of the Five Sons of Humanity are qualified to consider this matter.

But Bai Zichen was different. From the moment he entered the Dao, he clearly set his goal of achieving longevity and immortality. After discovering his own special physical constitution, he was even more determined to climb to the highest peak.

The combined lifespan is one epoch, and one can even reincarnate and start anew through secret techniques, which is indeed a very long period of time.

However, it is still far from true immortality.

Given such aspirations, it's wise to prepare for both possibilities early on.

At the same time, I felt that I relied too much on the passage of time to develop my skills, and that I should have a second plan.

"However, that's something to do after the fusion. We need to find out exactly which Great Dao the Heavenly Emperor and Taiyi control... lest we go to great lengths only to end up with nothing."

Having absorbed so many secrets about Mahayana Buddhism, I still need to put it into practice and realize that I am still in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, surrounded by enemies.

Even their training grounds were located on their rival's territory.

Bai Zichen gave a wry smile, no longer hesitating, and launched his final assault on the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
