475: Nine-aperture Immortal Gold, Born Sword Immortal

Outside the Immortal Path, three figures with noble and arrogant bearing, possessing the aura of Emperors, stepped forward together, instantly disappearing into the Immortal Path.

The old Ascension Realm expert of the Yazi Clan, hidden far away in the darkness, exclaimed, "The Immortals of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan are actually willing to let their Nascent Souls leave their bodies and reside within three Little Golden Crows. Aren't they afraid of wasting the potential of these three Little Golden Crows?"

For such powerful Immortals, when their Nascent Souls leave their bodies and reside within other beings, even if those beings cooperate willingly, the Immortal's powerful Nascent Soul will still invisibly affect the latter's Physical Body, and even their Nascent Soul.

And once the Immortal's Nascent Soul unleashes its full power, the latter's Physical Body will inevitably suffer damage. Minor injuries are simple to recover from, like regenerating flesh and blood, but severe injuries will be tainted by Immortal aura, damaging the Foundation irrevocably.

"Doesn't this just show that the opportunities within the Immortal Path are so great that even Little Golden Crows can be used as sacrifices?"

"It seems the Golden Crow Emperor Clan is determined to obtain this Immortal scripture!"

"Three Immortals, even Immortals from the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, may not have a chance of winning. As far as we can see, Immortals from the Human Race's major Void Immortal Sects, as well as the Dao Seed Clan, Sacred Spirit Race, God Clan, and Asura Clan, have all entered the Immortal Path, and their numbers far exceed those of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan."

"Huh, there are more!"

As expected, just as the old Ascension Realm expert finished speaking, more than a dozen figures with wings on their backs, seemingly forged from the great sun's golden flames, arrived together.

These are from the Emperor Slave Race, also created by that former Demon Emperor.

"The Golden Crow Emperor Clan has a grand display!"

Before, three Immortals from the Golden Crow Emperor Clan had their Nascent Souls leave their bodies and possess Little Golden Crows to enter the Immortal Path. Now, more than a dozen Immortals from the Golden Crow Emperor Clan have their Nascent Souls leave their bodies and possess beings from the Emperor Slave Race to enter the Immortal Path.

"In this way, the Immortals of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan might be able to kill that Human Race member Lu Chen on the spot within the Immortal Path."

"That's right. Although there are also Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion who have entered, there are more Immortals from the Dragon's Nine Sons lineage, the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, and other races like the Sword Armor Demon Ape, Red Dragon, and Flood Dragon. Not to mention killing Lu Chen, even keeping all the Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion would be easy."

"Very good!"

"Then we shall wait here outside the Immortal Path for good news!"

...

"Holy Son, I cannot pass this fourth Dao Inquiry Starry Sky Road either!" Zhuang Hao looked ashamed. When they came, both he and Lu Chen were in the Tongtian Realm, and Lu Chen wasn't even at the peak of the Tongtian Realm.

As a result, shortly after arriving at the Immortal Path, his Holy Son ascended to the Ascension Realm, while he was still stuck at the peak of the Tongtian Realm.

However, this time, by following Lu Chen, he also obtained immense wealth. He had obtained so many natural treasures that his hands were soft. Once he fully digested these natural treasures, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the Ascension Realm.

Furthermore, this fourth Dao Inquiry Starry Sky Road is a trial for the Ascension Realm, so only Lu Chen is qualified to pass.

Lu Chen waved his hand, not caring, but simply took out the Refining Demon Pot and put Feng Jie and Zhuang Hao back into the pot.

So many divine materials and treasures were obtained on the fourth great land. How many more could be obtained on the fifth great land, in the deepest part of the Immortal Path!

That place is the closest to the Upper Realm, with the most longevity substances and the densest Immortal Dao aura. The divine materials and treasures that can be bred there will be even more numerous. Even the breeding of Immortal materials is common, but they are just very difficult to find.

For Lu Chen, the Dao Inquiry Starry Sky Road targeting the Ascension Realm level was still like nothing, easily crossed by him.

Afterwards, Feng Jie and Zhuang Hao were released by Lu Chen from the Refining Demon Pot and began sweeping again. And indeed, the efficiency was still terrifyingly high.

And from the start, Feng Jie was startled: "White Tiger Malice Gold, Divine Pattern Ancient Gold, Undying Divine Gold..."

Divine materials, they were all divine materials, and their quality was terrifyingly high.

Not to mention Feng Jie, even Lu Chen's heart was pounding because the quality of these divine materials was too high. Picking out just one, Lu Chen felt he could nurture a top-tier Divine Power Dao Soldier, equivalent to a peak Ascension Realm expert.

At a certain moment, divine light suddenly burst from Feng Jie's eyes, incredibly excited: "Creation, a great creation! There is a Heavenly Born Sword Immortal about to be nurtured from an Immortal material!"

Zhuang Hao was greatly surprised: "A Heavenly Born Sword Immortal is going to be nurtured? Isn't that an Immortal from the Sacred Spirit Race?"

The Sacred Spirit Race is born from heaven and earth, all nurtured from various rare treasures, divine materials, and even Immortal materials. They are born powerful, exceptionally gifted, and all extraordinary.

But in this Human Realm, from ancient times until now, it has never been seen that a Saint Spirit is born as an Immortal as soon as it is nurtured by heaven and earth!

This is too terrifying!

Because this means this Saint Spirit Celestial Sword will be a Heavenly Born Immortal Embryo, with natural phenomena, a natural sword heart, sword bones, and sword wisdom. Their future achievements will be unimaginably great.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "What kind of Immortal material is that, and what kind of Celestial Sword will it nurture?"

He didn't have a companion Spirit Treasure like Feng Jie, so he couldn't see, which made his heart itch with impatience.

"Creation, truly a great creation! I never thought that within this Immortal Path in the Human Realm, such a Heavenly Born Sword Immortal would be nurtured. Born with nine apertures, a clear sword heart, directly connected to the Great Dao of Swords, their future achievements will be at least a Great Luo of the Sword Dao, capable of becoming a high and mighty existence that controls destiny!"

"It's a pity, a big problem has occurred in the Upper Realm, and it has spread to the Human Realm. This Heavenly Born Sword Immortal probably won't have a chance to be born!" The Old Ancestor in Feng Jie's Spirit Treasure also exclaimed.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that Heavenly Born Sword Immortal in this Nine Aperture Immortal Gold should have existed since the beginning of the Immortal Path's creation, or perhaps even dropped down from the Upper Realm, having been nurtured for countless light and shadow."

"But its Foundation is too strong. To be completely nurtured successfully and be born, it will require at least three more light and shadow. By then, as soon as it is born, it will be a Heavenly King, or even higher."

"Now that it has been discovered by you, its fate is also sealed. You can at most obtain a decent incomplete Immortal Sword. That Heavenly Born Sword Immortal can be refined into a sword spirit!"

"What a pity, what a pity! If it had been discovered by the Sacred Spirit Race, there might have been hope for its survival!"

This Old Ancestor continuously expressed his emotions, not sparing any words of praise. Feng Jie had only heard this Old Ancestor express such admiration when he saw Lu Chen. He never expected to hear the same praise for a Heavenly Born Sword Immortal nurtured within an Immortal material.

"It seems this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal is truly extraordinary!" Feng Jie knew he hadn't seen wrongly.

But he would not feel any pity. A Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, upon being born, is destined to be on the side of the Sacred Spirit Race. While the Sacred Spirit Race is not hostile to the Human Race, they are definitely not friendly either.

If they are not of our race, their hearts must be different.

Among the Myriad Clans in the Starry Sky, the Human Race was able to reach its current status only by being forged through the countless predecessors and sages who advanced wave after wave.

He would absolutely not do anything to help this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal be born.

Furthermore, his closest friend, Lu Chen, seemed to need these Immortal materials very much.

Therefore, this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, which has not yet been fully nurtured successfully, has even less chance of being born.

Not just Feng Jie, even beings from other races like the Demon Clan, God Clan, Dao Seed Clan, and Asura Clan, upon seeing this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal that hasn't been completely nurtured successfully, would only take it out and refine it into an incomplete Immortal Sword.

Therefore, the Old Ancestor said that this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal's fate was sealed.

"Brother Lu, follow me." Without a word, Feng Jie led the way.

Lu Chen nodded repeatedly, following closely. Even Zhuang Hao couldn't suppress the shock and curiosity in his heart and followed step by step, afraid of missing any scene.

This place was an ordinary, even somewhat desolate stone mountain, where not a blade of grass grew. It was barren and showed nothing extraordinary.

To be precise, this couldn't even be considered a mountain, being only a dozen zhang high and about a li wide.

But who could know that beneath this inconspicuous stone mountain was hidden a Nine Aperture Immortal Gold, and within it, a Heavenly Born Sword Immortal was being nurtured.

"Here?" Zhuang Hao was puzzled. Divine light flickered in his eyes. He had used several types of eye techniques in succession, seeing through the ground, but what he saw was still ordinary rock. As for any Immortal material or Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, he hadn't even seen a single hair.

Even Lu Chen was no exception. Whether it was his spiritual sense, eye techniques, or even the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, which he secretly used, he still saw nothing.

The main reason is that the Causality Source Tracing Mirror requires a related object to trace the causal link and find the corresponding object. Lu Chen didn't even have the aura of the Nine Aperture Immortal Gold or the Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, so the Causality Source Tracing Mirror naturally couldn't find them.

"Divine objects conceal themselves. If it weren't for destiny, even if it were placed before your eyes, you might not be able to see it," Feng Jie chuckled lightly, offering an explanation.

Then he raised his hand and transmitted the location of the Nine Aperture Immortal Gold to Lu Chen with his divine sense.

The Nine Aperture Immortal Gold and the Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, even though not yet born, were absolutely not something a being in the Faxiang Realm like him could touch. There was bound to be divine power on them. According to the Old Ancestor in the Spirit Treasure, even an ordinary Flying Ascension Immortal might not be able to take out this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, and might even be counter-killed by this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal that had not yet been completely nurtured.

Only Lu Chen's means, capable of easily killing Immortals, had the confidence to collect it.

"I'll do it!" Lu Chen understood. While excited, he was also extremely cautious.

With a thought, the Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier and the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable Dao Soldier appeared before him.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable Dao Soldier had taken on Lu Chen's appearance and did not reveal its true form, otherwise Lu Chen was afraid Feng Jie and Zhuang Hao would die on the spot.

But even so, the moment the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable Dao Soldier appeared, Zhuang Hao and Feng Jie still felt an inexpressible Dao aura. It was as if they were about to attain enlightenment, or as if various faint insights inexplicably assailed them, instantly plunging them into a strange state of confusion, and even their breathing began to become unstable.

Especially Feng Jie, whose magic power even began to inexplicably dissipate.

"Wake up." At the same moment, the Old Ancestor's sharp cry echoed in Feng Jie's mind, like a great bell, instantly dispelling the Dao aura unconsciously leaked by the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable, causing Feng Jie to wake up instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"What was that?"

Why was Lu Chen's external Incarnation so terrifying? Just one look nearly caused his magic power to dissipate completely and his Foundation to be destroyed!

This was too terrifying!

Feng Jie naturally wouldn't know that this was the result of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable Dao Soldier transforming into Lu Chen, the residual power of the unconscious Dao aura.

"Incredible, truly incredible! Your Da Die has actually refined such an astonishing external Incarnation!" The Old Ancestor exclaimed again, "Not to mention his terrifying potential with the Thirty-Six Dharma Forms, just this external Incarnation alone probably has the potential to reach the Great Luo! This kind of Dao aura is profoundly evil!"

It was unknown how Feng Jie's Da Die had refined this kind of external Incarnation; it was truly unbelievable!

One must know that even when he dominated the Upper Realm back then, he had seen Immortal Emperors sitting by the Time River, watching the flow of time, observing the past and present, yet none of them had such a bizarre Dao aura.

And Feng Jie's Da Die, still in the Human Realm, had actually refined such an external Incarnation!

It goes without saying that Feng Jie's Da Die must be hiding unimaginable secrets.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, step back." Lu Chen also acted promptly, gently patting Zhuang Hao's shoulder, isolating the residual Dao aura of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable.

At the same moment, two Divine Power Dao Soldiers capable of fighting Immortals sank into the ground, each manifesting ten Clones, and headed towards the place Feng Jie indicated.

"Poof!" The Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier reached deep into the stone mountain. It was at this moment that terrifying Sword Qi accompanied by horrifying Sword Intent suddenly surged out, annihilating the stone mountain, annihilating the ground, and even the Void was constantly torn apart and then healed. But even so, the Void here was still briefly turned into nothingness by this horrifying Sword Qi and Sword Intent.

Even the indestructible body of the Dao Soldier had its True Dragon scales knocked off at this moment, sparks flying as it was directly struck by the Sword Qi.

The eleven Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldiers said nothing, surrounding and attacking. They manifested their True Dragon scales and were empowered by various Divine Powers, approaching while enduring the violent Sword Qi and Sword Intent.

At the same moment, the eleven Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable Dao Soldiers disappeared into thin air, having silently entered the incomplete Sea of Consciousness of that Heavenly Born Sword Immortal.

"I see it!" A sharp light bloomed in Lu Chen's eyes.

He had already retreated tens of thousands of miles away with Zhuang Hao and Feng Jie.

Because the Sword Qi and Sword Intent were too horrifying, he might be able to barely block them with his powerful Physical Body and various Divine Powers and Dharma Idols, but Zhuang Hao and Feng Jie could not possibly block them and would inevitably be instantly chopped into meat paste, their forms and spirits extinguished.

But even from tens of thousands of miles away, Lu Chen still saw the Immortal material of the Nine Aperture Immortal Gold through the Dao Soldier's vision.

The moment this Immortal gold was found by the Dao Soldier, it completely revealed its true form. It was an Immortal gold with a dark golden luster, on which Immortal aura naturally arose, mysterious and unpredictable, and it carried an indescribable magnificence. It was nurtured by heaven and earth, a wonder of nature, difficult to imagine and difficult to describe, as if containing a myriad of phenomena, truly extraordinary.

And the most extraordinary thing was the Heavenly Born Sword Immortal nurtured within this Nine Aperture Immortal Gold. Although it had not yet formed facial features and was just a blurry human form, its majestic posture was already visible. Especially in the arms of this blurry human form, it held a rough Immortal Sword.

Whether it was the blurry human form or the rough Immortal Sword it held, both surged with unimaginable Sword Intent. It was the embryonic form of the supreme sword Dao, extremely astonishing.

Even though Lu Chen himself had comprehended the rules of the Sword Dao and had comprehended them to the ninth level of extremity, upon seeing this embryonic form of the supreme sword Dao, he still instantly gained countless insights, yet felt it was supremely profound, unimaginably profound.

Moreover, in reality, this Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, which had not yet been completely nurtured to Perfection, had already developed incomplete sentience. Therefore, the eleven Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerables entered its Sea of Consciousness and used thunderous methods to disperse this incomplete consciousness.

It was also at the instant the Heavenly Born Sword Immortal's consciousness was dispersed that the terrifying Sword Qi and Sword Intent also dissipated. The Nine Aperture Immortal Gold was brought out by the Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier and returned to the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

"The Heavenly Born Sword Immortal is mine!" Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
