High-grade Immortal Seed

"Ye Qingyu, this is one of the Four Great Immortal Envoys of our Immortal Palace — Xuanzhe."

"Immortal Envoy, Your Excellency. Your subordinate has delivered the message."

As he bowed, Elder Zuo began to introduce Su Bai.

Su Bai returned the greeting, and Xuanzhe also gave a slight bow.

The Xuanzhe looked very young, around twenty years old.

But at first glance, one can see that his eyes are extremely weathered, and his aura is that of a true late- Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

Foundation Establishment Cultivator can Lifespan.

Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage Lifespan of up to five hundred years.

Even Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, can have Lifespan of up to a thousand years.

Nascent Soul Middle Stage can live up to 1,500 years, while Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage can Lifespan up to 2,000 years!

Although the Nascent Soul Great Perfection does not extend lifespan, it allows one to trigger a Heavenly Tribulation at any time and advance to the Deity Transformation Stage.

After advancing to the Spirit Transformation, one theoretically possesses an infinite Lifespan. As long as one survives a Heavenly Tribulation every eight hundred years, one's soul and body will remain indestructible.

According to the information Su Bai obtained, this Immortal Envoy Xuanzhe of the Immortal Palace is a veteran Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, and may have existed for even longer than the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star.

Facing this ancient relic of the Demonic Path, Su Bai naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest, and bowed respectfully. "Rogue Ye Qingyu greets Your Excellency, Immortal Envoy."

The Xuanzhe nodded slightly. "You may leave now. I'd like to speak with this Cultivator Ye Qingyu, alone."

The Left Sentinel bowed respectfully and slowly withdrew from the Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven.

Thus, only Su Bai and Xuanzhe, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, remained in the Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven.

"No matter how you present yourself after joining the Immortal Palace."

"Shouldn't you drop the pretense when facing a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator?" the Xuanzhe said calmly.

Su Bai had anticipated that his disguise would be discovered.

After all, he wasn't facing an ordinary Nascent Soul, but a Nascent Soul Late Stage.

His methods are probably no less sophisticated than those of the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star.

"The Xuanzhe is right."

"I am simply being cautious by nature; I hope you will not take offense."

A surge of Spiritual Power emanated from Su Bai, and the next moment, his true form was revealed.

"So it's Lu Jiu, the number one genius of the Demon Star Sea." Xuanzhe's eyes revealed intense interest.

The Immortal Palace has a long history, with Stronghold Major Cultivation Worlds and a well-developed intelligence system.

Given Su Bai's current reputation, it's perfectly normal for a Xuanzhe, currently the number one Xuanzhe in the Immortal Palace, to know and recognize Su Bai's existence.

"You rascal, what brings you to join my Immortal Palace? Are you kidding me?"

Su Bai said seriously, "Xuanzhe, you are joking. For me, a Golden Core Cultivator, to come to the Immortal Palace's residence to tease a Nascent Soul Cultivator like you, isn't that courting death?"

"This humble Daoist truly desires to join the Immortal Palace."

The Xuanzhe carefully examined Su Bai: "It would have been unimaginable in the past for a genius like you, with Top Grade Spirit Root Talent and Spell Talent, to join the Immortal Palace."

"The existence of the Immortal Palace, with its Law Technique and intelligence systems, is inherently quite attractive to Top Grade Cultivator."

"In fact, it's not just that; I think some of the rules of the Immortal Palace need to be changed."

"The Cultivation World today is highly interconnected; one cannot survive simply by force or plunder," Su Bai said earnestly.

The Xuanzhe smiled slightly, "Interesting. No wonder Tian Xing has named you as his successor."

"Then in what form do you think the Immortal Palace should be restored to its former Origin Qi in the current Cultivation World?"

Su Bai's suggestion was merely a spur-of-the-moment thing; he had no concrete plan. However, Su Bai still answered, "Well, I am currently only a minor Golden Core cultivator and dare not presume to discuss reforms to the Immortal Palace."

Xuanzhe looked at Su Bai, his eyes flickering.

After a moment, he turned and said, "Now the Immortal Palace only has me as its Immortal Envoy, and its Origin Qi. Your joining the Immortal Palace as Peak Golden Core Cultivator is naturally a good thing for the Immortal Palace, and I will not refuse."

"You may join the Immortal Palace under the identity of Ye Qingyu; I will not reveal your true identity."

"I can even provide you with a one-time-use magic Law Treasure to defend against Outer Realm Heavenly Demon when you break through to the Nascent Soul, greatly increasing your chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai's face lit up with joy; coming to the Immortal Palace this time was the right decision.

He wasn't too worried about ordinary Heavenly Tribulation during his advancement to the Nascent Soul.

However, during the advancement process, Su Bai was quite worried about the mysterious and unpredictable Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

After all, his soul came from Other World; who knew what bizarre and wondrous Outer Realm Heavenly Demon he might attract?

One Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill doesn't seem like a safe bet.

"What do I need to give in return?" Su Bai asked.

"I need you to integrate with High-grade Immortal Seed; this is proof of your identity. It guarantees you will forever be a part of the Immortal Palace."

"This Immortal Seed is simply an immortal Immortal Seed. Aside from the fact that you must never actively resolve it or betray the Immortal Palace, it will not be subject to any other oaths or prohibitions."

The Xuanzhe stretched out his hand, and from the depths of the Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven, a round object the size of an egg, shimmering with white light, fell into his palm.

The Xuanzhe waved his hand, and the High-grade Immortal Seed fell into Su Bai's hands.

Only when he actually held the object in his hands did Su Bai realize that this Immortal Seed must be a product closely related to the Immortal Palace and Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven.

He observed the Immortal Seed with his Divine Sense and indeed found no other restrictions added to it.

"Can't I make Dao Heart Oath?" Su Bai still didn't want to eat anything indiscriminately.

The Xuanzhe laughed, "You're Dao Heart Oath with Demonic Path Cultivator? Isn't that just a joke?"

"You will see that the Demonic Path Cultivator truly takes his Dao Heart Oath to heart."

That makes sense... Su Bai's Sword Heart also failed to perceive the danger posed by this High-grade Immortal Seed.

Not actively betraying the Immortal Palace —this condition is extremely easy.

Xuanzhe was indeed very kind to Su Bai; his intention to recruit him was genuine.

Su Bai opened his mouth and swallowed the High-grade Immortal Seed.

The High-grade Immortal Seed melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into countless tiny entities that dispersed within Su Bai's body.

The next moment, Su Bai felt his Spiritual Power increase by half a percent, and his Divine Sense also slowly increased by about one-fifteenth.

This High-grade Immortal Seed is, in essence, still a top-tier treasure.

At this moment, Su Bai discovered that he could clearly perceive the existence of the entire Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven.

It could be sensed that the Xuanzhe had also consumed High-grade Immortal Seed, while the two guards on the left and right of the Heavenly Gate, as well as Jiang Han, had all consumed lower-level Immortal Seed.

At this moment, in Su Bai's view, a "Immortal Seed" is more like a racial marker, and it also grants the user the ability to sense and enter/exit the racial Grotto-Heaven.

"Welcome to the Immortal Palace, Lu Jiu —no, Ye Qingyu."

The Xuanzhe waved his hand, and a Storage Bag fell into Su Bai's hand.

"It contains special equipment from the Immortal Palace, as well as the magical Law Treasure I promised you to deal with the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon."

"I hope your advancement to the Nascent Soul goes smoothly, otherwise my investment will be a huge loss. High-grade Immortal Seed aren't something you see every day..."

"I hope that you can become another celestial Immortal Envoy of the Immortal Palace in the future, to share my burdens."

Su Bai tossed the Storage Bag into the Spirit Transformation Furnace and cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for your kindness Xuanzhe."

"Alright, let's decide your title. The Sword of the Immortal Palace is currently vacant. I've heard you're skilled in Swordsmanship. Would you be willing to accept the title of the Sword of the Immortal Palace?" the Xuanzhe said.

Hmm? That Sword of the Immortal Palace has already fallen?

Su Bai still remembered that the Sword of the Immortal Palace had once led Under His Command sword-wielding members to wreak havoc in Qingzhou for a period of time.
