Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 508: Cultivation from Birth

The child on the ox trembled all over, completely frightened as sweat poured down his body. "It's over, it's over!"

They were clearly lambs to the slaughter! If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come out on this trip!

"You have already killed an Immortal Seedling. Are you going to target us next? If so, in the future, you will find it difficult to move even an inch in the Central Continent," Zi Yun said calmly as she looked at Fang Chen.

The one from the Innate Dao Sect hurriedly said, "I surrender! I only ask for you to spare my life!"

The child on the ox raised his hands in surrender. "I also concede!"

Even the green ox under his command let out a low moo, as if conceding defeat as well.

Fang Chen looked at Zi Yun. "Do you know Jing Yuehan?"

"I do..." answered Zi Yun, mind racing.

She was wondering why he was asking something like that.

"In that case, you deserve to die even more."

Zi Yun was startled, and before she could turn her head, she felt her body lighten.

A feeling of unease gripped Zi Yun's heart, feeling something amiss.

Sure enough, she heard the loud crash of a heavy object falling to the ground. Without surprise, it was her body.

Zi Yun’s head stared at Fang Chen firmly. "The Immortal Giant Sect will... avenge me...."

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "I'll be waiting."

Fang Chen crushed her head before severing her body with a slash. After that, Fang Chen looked at the cultivator from the Innate Dao Sect.

"Are Immortal Seedlings so weak? What's the difference between you and ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators?"

The cultivator from Innate Doa Sect spoke awkwardly. "We... we need to at least be able to handle three grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivators before we can be considered Immortal Seedlings..."

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "I see."

The aura of this group of peak Golden Core Realm cultivators was extremely powerful, far surpassing all those he had encountered before. If it weren't for his Sword Body reaching the fourth rank, he wouldn't be able to purely rely on his physical body to block the Fighting Divine Whip. Perhaps not even the Second Sword of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture could kill them instantly.

The child on the ox suddenly spoke, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He was like a little kid scared. "Big brother, spare my life, I never intended to kill you guys from the start. My family strongly opposed me coming out, I was just curious and wanted to see the world! I wanted to see how strong Immortal Seedlings really are! I've never fought anyone before!"

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "You can live."

The child was stunned. He subconsciously wiped his nose as he stared at Fang Chen blankly. "I... I can live?

The senior from the Innate Dao Sect was taken aback when he saw that, but he quickly began to cry and beg for mercy as well.

Swoosh!

A sword light swept over, severing his head from his spine. As his head rolled, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Why couldn't he be spared when he begged for mercy?

After dealing with those three, Fang Chen returned to check on Fairy Yu's injuries. Her aura had begun to stabilize by now, and her flesh and blood were slowly recovering. Her vitality seemed to have strengthened a bit compared to before.

Not bad, her injuries are stabilizing. As long as she doesn't get injured again, she'll recover soon.

The child riding the ox landed not far away. He cautiously said, "This... Big Brother, the blood from my green ox is a holy medicine for healing wounds. Shall I give her a little to try?"

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "Give her some."

The child immediately filled a big bowl with blood from the ox. Then, he hurriedly ran over to Fang Chen and handed it to him.

Glancing at it, Fang Chen used his spiritual energy to check if there was anything wrong with it. After confirming that it was poison-free, he fed it to Fairy Yu.

In just a few breaths, Fairy Yu's injuries visibly healed at a rapid pace. Even the most severe, chest-penetrating wound was rapidly recovering. After a few breaths, her eyelids suddenly twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Fang Chen, a smile appeared on her face.

"Lord, are they all dead?"

The child stiffened, feeling a bit lost standing aside.

Fang Chen smiled lightly. "No, three are dead, one is still alive."

Fairy Yu quickly reacted and looked up and saw the child showing her an embarrassed smile. "The little kid?"

"You should recover first. When your condition improves a bit, I will activate the teleportation formation," Fang Chen said.

"Okay.

Fairy Yu nodded lightly and closed her eyes again. She started to circulate her spiritual energy, using the medicinal power of the ox blood to accelerate the recovery of her injuries.

Fang Chen looked at the child. "What's your name, and where are you from?"

"Big Brother, I'm Ning Tieniu. My family belongs to a cultivation family and hasn't joined any sects," Ning Tieniu hurriedly replied.

"How old are you?"

Ning Tieniu thought for a moment and replied, "Nine years old."

Fang Chen smiled knowingly. "Nine years old? A nine-year-old at the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm? Do you think I'm easily fooled?"

Ning Tieniu's face showed a hint of pride at Fang Chen's response. "I am not lying to you, Big Brother. I'm indeed nine years old, and I have indeed reached the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm. My father said I was born as a natural Immortal Seedling. I reached the peak of Qi Refining after one month of cultivation, built my foundation at three, and achieved Golden Core at seven."

Fang Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

Such a genius exists? Reaching the peak of Qi Refining in one month and building the foundation at three years old? Even True Immortals can't be this miraculous.

Fairy Yu suddenly opened her eyes. "Are you from the Ning Family of the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land?"

Ning Tieniu nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, yes."

Fairy Yu rolled her eyes. "Lord, you can't judge the Ning Family of the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land with common sense. Their bloodline is special and he has probably stayed in his mother's womb for hundreds of years."

Fang Chen turned his attention back to Ning Tieniu. "You stayed in your mother's womb for hundreds of years?"

Ning Tieniu replied awkwardly, "Five hundred years. My mother told me I was the one in this generation who least wanted to be born. The others stayed for only two or three hundred years...."

Fang Chen understood. This explained why his cultivation progressed so rapidly. With such a special bloodline, he probably had been cultivating from the moment he was conceived.

"What rewards did Heavenly King Zhen Manor offer Immortal Seedlings in order to make them take action?" asked Fang Chen.

"The truth is... I didn't come for the rewards. I just wanted an excuse to sneak out and see the world. Only the experts from the Innate Dao Sect and the Immortal Giant Sect came for the rewards.

"Regarding the person from the Great Expansion Dao Sect, I suspect he was here on account of a personal vendetta, purely to kill this sister because their sect holds deep enmity with the Void Immortal Sword Sect."

"My lord, the Great Expansion Dao Sect indeed has deep-seated grievances with the Void Immortal Sword Sect," Fairy Yu confirmed.

"Big Brother, with you protecting this sister, I believe Heavenly King Zhen Manor can't do anything to you two unless they involve a Nascent Soul Realm expert. But that would violate the agreement between the manor and the Void Immortal Sword Sect."

Ning Tieniu's face showed admiration. "My parents once said that even if I'm not invincible among Golden Core Realm Immortal Seedlings, I should at least rank in the top hundred in the Central Continent Empire. But seeing your abilities, I realize there are always greater talents out there. You can rank in the top ten easily!"

"No need to butter me up. I said I won't kill you, so I won't," Fang Chen replied calmly.

Ning Tieniu was embarrassed that he was so easily seen through.

"You can leave now."

"Really? Then I'll take my leave. If you ever encounter trouble in the future, you can come to the Immortal Dynasty Holy Land and find the Ning Family. I, Ning Tieniu, owe you a huge favor!" Ning Tieniu said some customary words.

He then quickly mounted his green ox and fled the scene, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
