Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 140 Corpse
After summarizing his findings, Chen Beiwu was filled with emotion.

Instead of working hard to earn spirit stones, why not pull off a big heist?

No wonder the Southern Wilderness is in chaos, with so many Tribulation Cultivators appearing.

The reason is nothing more than its exorbitant profits!
"Gulu?"

The golden egg looked towards the spirit lake, its eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

After it followed Chen Beiwu, it spent its days either in the spirit beast bag and fish tank or running around on land.

Now that a spiritual lake brimming with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has finally appeared before it, it is already somewhat impatient.

"Aren't you afraid of getting frozen into an ice sculpture?" Chen Beiwu teased.

Even though the great formation in front of them had been in disrepair for many years, it could still easily suppress the speed of the Sand Falcon.

It is evident that the person who set up the array at Linghu Lake possesses extraordinary array skills, at least a second-tier high-grade array master, and there is even a very small probability that they are a third-tier array master.

If the golden egg dared to rush into the spirit lake, it would most likely be smashed to pieces.

"Gurgle." Golden Egg looked at Chen Beiwu with ingratiating eyes.

So what if you don't understand formations?
Chen Beiwu understands!
"You," Chen Beiwu shook his head, his gaze turning to Tie Dan.

"The Spirit Lake Formation isn't very friendly to you. Why don't you stay in the Spirit Beast Pouch for a while?"

Tie Dan nodded.

After putting away the iron egg, Chen Beiwu walked around the Spirit Lake.

Every so often it would pluck a branch and throw it into the lake.

"Crack, click, click!"

Without exception, each branch turned into an ice crystal at a visible speed and fell, creating ripples on the lake's surface.

'Strange, how exactly does the Azure Thunder Tiger move freely within the Spirit Lake without being affected?' Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Not only Cang Lei Hu, but he also discovered that the fish in the Spirit Lake were not affected by the formation even when they leaped out of the lake.

On the contrary, Pei Xiao and You Shajun, who accidentally entered the great formation, were affected one after another. They were frozen and slowed down by the formation, and only managed to escape when their flying spirit beasts died tragically under the claws of the Azure Thunder Tiger.

"Why don't you go in and give it a try? Maybe you can swim out a safe route," Chen Beiwu suggested.

"Gurgle." The golden egg quickly shook its head.

With those branches serving as a cautionary tale, it didn't want to invite trouble upon itself.

"Then you should go and catch a spirit that is intelligent, can swim, and can easily follow commands."

After issuing the task, Chen Beiwu took out the Six Spirits of the Array from his storage bag and began to study it, while the golden egg turned into a golden light and disappeared.

Half an hour later, the golden egg returned to the lakeside and spat out a gray rock rat with round eyes that looked quite intelligent. Its cultivation level was about fifteen years.

"Follow my directions, or die."

As soon as Chen Beiwu's thoughts were sent, the gray rock rat, which was lying on the ground trembling, nodded repeatedly, clearly understanding his words.

"Crash!"

Looking at the rushing river in front of him, the gray rock rat swallowed hard and subconsciously turned to look at Chen Beiwu.

"Jump or die, your choice," Chen Beiwu thought to himself. "Jump now and you can still get a piece of tiger meat."

Upon hearing this, the gray rock rat hesitated, glancing at the piece of meat in Chen Beiwu's hand and then at the lake in front of it.

It gritted its teeth and jumped down.

"thump!"

The gray rock rat frantically thrashed its limbs, maintaining a steady forward speed on the turbulent lake surface.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu immediately felt reassured.

His guess was correct; there were two arrays set up within the Spirit Lake. One was a water-attribute array that gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the other was an ice-attribute killing array powerful enough to freeze the physical bodies of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To pass through the killing formation safely, one must constantly change direction along the Xun and Kan positions of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

The gray rock rat let out a sharp cry halfway through its swim, as if it had encountered some natural enemy.

Chen Beiwu looked up and saw a ten-foot-long, triangular-shaped snake with emerald-like pupils flicking its tongue at the edge of the island in the center of the lake.

[Variety]: Emerald King Scale
【Attributes】: Wood, Poison
[Bloodline]: Second-level lower grade (Spiritual Beast)
[Talent]: King Scale Body (Compared to Emerald Scale, the Emerald King Scale Serpent Body is ten times larger, and the scales are infused with Emerald Heart Poison), Withered and Flourishing Miasma (Can spew out Emerald Miasma, causing the flesh and blood of those tainted to become woody).

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly as he immediately recognized the information about the spirit beast, then quickly regained his composure.

Judging from its size and aura, it should be a Jade King Scale that has not yet advanced to the second realm of lesser demons, so there is no need to worry.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

Gray rock rats are afraid of snakes, let alone the king of snakes like the Emerald King Scale. They turned tail and ran away immediately.

The next second, due to the shift in the formation of the Xun and Kan positions, it instantly turned into an ice sculpture and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Let's go.

Having figured out the principles of the grand formation, Chen Beiwu, carrying the golden egg, activated the Soaring Waves and Stepping on the Void, transforming into a rainbow of light and rushing towards the center of the lake.

"hiss!"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of a figure, the Emerald King Scales did not retreat. Instead, it raised its head, and the scales on its neck suddenly expanded into an umbrella shape, revealing emerald-colored intimidating patterns.

"Shhhhhh!"

The emerald king's scales burst forth from both sides, and a faint blue mist and exotic fragrance filled the air.

"bass--!"

Chen Beiwu drew his sword from the icy pool behind him, slicing through the green mist with lightning speed, and with undiminished force, pierced through the snake's neck bone, splitting the emerald king scale in two and precisely picking out the emerald green snake gall.

The golden egg opened its mouth, activated its Nascent Soul talent, and swallowed all the surrounding blue mist.

"???" Chen Beiwu looked at the golden egg with a surprised expression.

That azure mist is the unique withering and flourishing miasma and the Azure Heart Poison of the Jade King Scale. Any cultivator who touches even a trace of it will turn into a withered piece of wood and perish within a quarter of an hour.

And that's how they ate the golden egg!
"Gulu?"

The latter burped, tilted his head, and looked puzzled.

"fine."

Seeing that the golden egg was unharmed, Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put away the king scale snake gall.

King Scale Snake Gallbladder has a stronger effect on strengthening the body's foundation and improving Qi cultivation than Jadeite Scale, making it a very precious second-grade high-quality spiritual medicine.

However, this Emerald King Scale's cultivation level has not yet advanced to the second realm, which greatly reduces the efficacy of the snake gall.

If judged solely by its value, it can only be barely considered a second-tier low-grade spiritual medicine.

Continuing towards the center of the island, a wooden house appeared within Chen Beiwu's spiritual sense range a quarter of an hour later.

Perhaps due to years of disrepair, one-third of the wooden house has collapsed, while the rest is leaning precariously into the tall weeds.

In addition, two other trees lazily sunbathed on the outer walls of the Emerald King Scale Wood House.

Chen Beiwu's eyes showed surprise.

Even in the resource-rich Southern Wilderness, the Emerald King Scale is a rare spirit beast, yet it has appeared in droves on Spirit Lake Island.

Together with the golden egg, Chen Beiwu swiftly and cleanly dealt with the two emerald king scales. He then pushed open the wooden hut, and a musty smell mixed with the stench of rotting corpses instantly rushed out.

But what concerned Chen Beiwu even more than these things was the corpse sitting on the futon.
