Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 178 The Upper Three Immortal Sect
As the sun disappeared and the storm subsided, thick smoke and dust filled the sky, turning the azure sky blackish-gray.

"Tick tock!"

A light rain began to fall from the sky; it was a viscous black liquid formed from radioactive dust and carbon particles produced by high-temperature combustion, as if the heavens were weeping.

At the center of the three-phase bomb explosion, a terrifying crater with a diameter of about three kilometers suddenly appeared, and the soil on the surface of the crater was melted into a special glassy substance by thermal radiation.

Logically speaking, no living organisms should be able to survive in such a harsh environment.

But in the next second, a golden light shot into the sky, quickly breaking free from the black rain's cover, and then fell to the ground, revealing a golden fish-dragon.

Golden Egg shook its head, ignoring the smoke and dust in front of it, opened its mouth, and spat out Chen Beiwu.

As soon as Chen Beiwu landed, he looked at the golden egg and found that its body was covered with a lot of dust, but its scales were undamaged.

"Wow, you've gotten this strong already?" Chen Beiwu's eyes widened in shock.

He knew that the Golden Egg's strength had increased dramatically after advancing to the second realm of Lesser Demon, but it shouldn't be this outrageous, that it could even easily ignore nuclear bombs.

Could it be that he underestimated the power of the golden egg?

The golden egg is now comparable to a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Sensing the shock in Chen Beiwu's heart, the golden egg proudly raised its head and exhaled a puff of black smoke.

"Gulp!" (A mere fatal wound, not worth mentioning at all!)

After saying that, Jin Dan's vision went black and he fainted.

Although the third-tier treasure technique, the Golden Body, could help it offset most of the nuclear bomb's power, the terrifying high temperature and shockwave still caused the golden egg considerable internal damage. However, its scales were too strong to be visible on the outside.

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately activated the Rejuvenation Technique to treat the golden egg.

Chen Beiwu only breathed a sigh of relief when the golden egg's aura gradually stabilized.

……

Two thousand meters underground, in the council hall of the New Ape Clan.

"Kacha!"

As the red dots on the big screen disappeared one by one, the Ape King couldn't help but pound his chest with both hands.

That's right, that's it.

Faced with the ultimate weapon of the new apes, humanity can only be utterly defeated!
But the next second, the Ape King's eyes widened as he stared intently at the red dot on the big screen that had not dimmed.

"How is this possible? There can't be a human that a three-phase bullet can't destroy!" The Ape King lost all his strength, his body went limp, and he collapsed on his throne, muttering to himself.

At the same time, the smiles of the thirty-six ugly ape leaders also froze, their faces filled with disbelief.

Several of the ugly ape leaders, unable to accept reality, even slapped their heads hard and made unintelligible shouts.

Ignoring the crazed ape councilor, an ugly ape exclaimed in a daze, "It's over! We will become the sinners of the ape tribe!"

"No, we haven't lost yet!" The Ape King forced himself to take a deep breath and looked at all the high-ranking members: "The ape race will never be slaves! I will execute the Jade Shattering Plan!"

"So what if the three-phase missiles can't kill those strange humans? We can launch all the three-phase missiles, level the ground, and change the surface environment of the new ape planet."

"No matter how strong those strange humans are, they couldn't possibly survive without food and water under nuclear radiation!"

Upon hearing this, the ape councilors exchanged glances and none of them objected.

They were well aware of their fate as slaves.

Rather than let the apes be defeated and become slaves of humans, unable to live or die, they might as well go all in!
……

Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, Divine Void Realm Monitoring Room.

Looking at the images on the big screen, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of several Golden Core cultivators.

They admired Chen Beiwu's decision not to prematurely end his life and withdraw from the Divine Void Realm until his death, but they did not believe that the latter could withstand a nuclear bombardment.

I never expected that this person would actually do it!

Only Jiang Zhenjun remained calm, giving Chen Beiwu a "medium" rating. The ultimate thermonuclear weapon developed by Ugly Ape Star over four thousand years was indeed impressive, but upon closer examination, it was merely the sum of fifty people's lives.

Compared to the beast-taming cultivation civilization that the Immortal Alliance inherited and reformed from the millions of years of cultivation history of the ancient human race, the technological civilization of Ugly Ape Star is no different from sand.

While Chen Beiwu's survival against a nuclear bomb is commendable, Jiang Chuan admires his character even more, hence the "A-level" rating.

'A mere Yuankong County could actually nurture such a celestial seedling!' Pei Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked around and noticed that all the Golden Core cultivators present remained calm, not glancing at Chen Beiwu on the screen again.

'A bunch of old foxes!' Pei Heng cursed inwardly.

Geniuses are rare, especially beast-taming prodigies who can contract second-realm treasure beasts at a young age.

Most of the Golden Core cultivators from the thirteen Immortal Sects present were already interested, but they still needed to see how Chen Beiwu performed in the final test.

"This is troublesome." Zhao Wuchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was confident he could suppress Pei Heng, but he wasn't sure he could compete with the experts from the Upper Three Immortal Sects.

The so-called Upper Three Immortal Sects are the three immortal sects that have consistently ranked among the top three of the thirteen immortal sects: Yuqing Immortal Sect, Shangqing Immortal Sect, and Taiqing Immortal Sect.

These three immortal sects are the cultivation sects whose strength is closest to that of the five great grotto heavens.

Rumor has it that if the three immortal sects of the Upper Realm were to unite and work together, they might even be able to rival the Cave Heaven.

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun, the person in charge of this year's Immortal Alliance re-examination, comes from the Yuqing Immortal Sect, the number one immortal sect.

If Jiang Zhenjun were willing to extend an olive branch, few candidates from the Immortal Alliance would be willing to refuse.

"call."

Zhao Wuchen exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at Chen Beiwu on the screen.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he decided to accept Chen Beiwu for the Immortal Sect before the final examination began.

……

Ugly Ape Star.

Time flies, and more than twenty days have passed in no time.

In order to maintain their rule, the Ugly Ape Clan, feeling threatened, spared no effort, launching all their thermonuclear weapons to bombard the surface, attempting to wear down all the Immortal Alliance cultivators with the harsh environment.

Having learned his lesson, Chen Beiwu hid deep underground in the canyon and did not come out, dodging round after round of nuclear attacks until the survival mission was completed.

But those Immortal Alliance examinees who didn't react in time were in trouble.

Even if they disguised themselves as ape generals, they could not pass the identity verification. Instead, they were located by the quantum radar hanging outside Ugly Ape Star and then received a three-phase missile as a reward.

As the thirtieth day ended, Chen Beiwu looked up at the dim sky.

If it weren't for the quantum radar outside the planet constantly locking onto his location, giving him an ominous premonition as soon as he left the canyon's underground, he would have loved to storm into the Ugly Ape Clan's council hall and wipe out all those high-ranking Ugly Apes.

"Buzz!"

The next second, the world suddenly changed, and Chen Beiwu found himself in the examination room. There were no other examinees around him, but instead, there was a beautiful female cultivator in green standing there.

"The second round of assessments is over. You can leave now," she whispered a reminder.

Chen Beiwu nodded, took the golden egg, and walked out of the examination room to prepare for lunch.

He spent a month on Ugly Ape Planet and didn't eat anything.

When Chen Beiwu took out his phone, the date and time displayed on the screen was 10:00 AM on June 12th, meaning only two hours had passed in reality.

'So it really is an illusion,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

After leaving the Divine Void Realm, the injuries Jin Dan had sustained disappeared, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.
