Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 188 Azure Pine

"No spiritual energy or good fortune is required; you can exchange it by spending academic credits."

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun briefly explained: "There are five main ways for students of the Immortal Sect to obtain academic credits:

The program consists of five components: theoretical courses, practical training, task-based learning, scientific research and innovation, and recognition and honors.

"The number of credits required to comprehend the Supreme Scripture of Boundless Salvation of the Great Origin is not large, only one hundred."

If you can advance to the peak of Foundation Establishment within a hundred years and complete the theoretical and practical courses, you can easily accumulate enough credits.

At this point, True Monarch Jiang Chuan smiled slightly: "Compared to exchanging for credits, what is even more precious is the opportunity to comprehend the Supreme Scripture of Boundless Salvation of the Primordial Origin, a rare privilege that only the top 100 on the Jade Void Ranking can possess."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart immediately tipped in favor of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

The Jade Purity Immortal Sect is teeming with talented cultivators, as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Those cultivators who rank in the top 100 on the Jade Void Ranking must be incredibly strong, and their talent and aptitude are mostly superior to the projections of cultivators at the third level of the Contending Realm.

His ability to pass through three levels of the Contender Realm in a row does not mean he can make it into the top 100 of the Jade Void Ranking.

After all, the peerless geniuses of the Immortal Alliance are truly monsters, far surpassing the cultivators of the Mirror Moon Sect.

Even if Chen Beiwu can grow by taking advantage of the resources of the Southern Wilderness, he dares not say that he can catch up in a short period of time.

Because the cultivation resources available to the peerless geniuses of the Immortal Alliance far exceeded his imagination.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu subconsciously recalled the ethereal figure from the fourth level of the Contending Realm.

Unfortunately, he was unable to use his supernatural powers to spy on the cultivators' illusory auras within the Contending Realm.

Otherwise, he might have known whether he was defeated by the Jade Rabbit's innate magic or by Gu Qinghan's innate talent and aptitude.

If it's the former, then the golden egg's premonition was correct, and that jade rabbit is very likely a fourth-tier mystical beast.

The terrifying gust of yin wind that Gu Qinghan blew out was a fourth-order profound technique released with the help of the Tongcan Beast Seal!
As for the latter, Chen Beiwu felt the probability was extremely low.

He couldn't even imagine how a Qi Refining cultivator beyond the limit could unleash a True Monarch's profound technique.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's constantly changing expression, True Monarch Jiangchuan added insult to injury: "Young friend Chen, you applied to the Bixiao Immortal Sect, is it because you're aiming for Biluo Pine?"

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

He didn't know what Biluo Song was, but he knew that nodding now was definitely the right thing to do.

Upon seeing this, True Lord Jiangchuan immediately understood.

He was overthinking it. Chen Beiwu came from an ordinary background and had no way of knowing about the Bixiao Immortal Sect's exclusive third-tier treasure beast, Biluo Pine.

"The Azure Pine is a third-tier treasure beast with both wood and water attributes, formed from a broken branch of the Jianmu tree that fell into the Azure Netherworld."

By contracting this beast, cultivators practicing the "All Laws Return to Flow" Jianmu Heavenly Book can utilize its water and wood essence to activate the inexhaustible life-giving nature of the Hongmu magic power, greatly increasing their lifespan and ensuring their magic power remains inexhaustible.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he listened intently to what followed.

As expected, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun changed the subject, his tone filled with emotion: "However, the number of Azure Pine Trees is very small, and only cultivators from the two core lineages of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect can form a contract with them."

Even if you, Chen, enter the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, you'll likely find it very difficult to obtain the opportunity to form a contract with the Azure Cloud Pine.

The more Chen Beiwu listened, the more he felt that the Bixiao Immortal Sect was a huge pitfall.

Even though he knew in his heart that Jiang Chuan Zhenjun was deliberately revealing the nepotism of the Bixiao Immortal Sect by pointing this out.

'I have to change my college application!' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

Compared to cultivation geniuses, the Bixiao Immortal Sect places more emphasis on one's background.

Going there would only trap him and be detrimental to his future path.

"The final exam results have not yet been announced. Chen can take a few days to think it over before deciding on her final choice," Jiang Chuan Zhenjun said frankly.

"Thank you for your understanding, True Lord." Before leaving, Chen Beiwu bowed and expressed his gratitude.

The information about the Thirteen Immortal Sects on the Immortal Alliance's official website is heavily filtered, so he needs to combine it with the words of other admissions officers and consider it carefully.

Soon, three days passed.

During this period, Chen Beiwu's rented cultivation cave was visited daily by admissions teachers from the Thirteen Immortal Sects to discuss his college application choices.

Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

The Great Luo Immortal Sect.

Sword Abyss Immortal Sect.

Jade Floss Immortal Sect.

……

After seeing Pei Heng off, Chen Beiwu sighed.

After getting to know him over this period of time, he found that what Jiangchuan Zhenjun said was true.

Among the thirteen immortal sects, the Bixiao Immortal Sect places the greatest emphasis on the family background of its cultivators, and seniority is strictly enforced.

A talented cultivator from an ordinary family who enters the Bixiao Immortal Sect must pay homage to the disciples of the two core lineages and find a powerful backer; otherwise, he will most likely be ostracized by his fellow disciples.

This reminded Chen Beiwu of Gu Chun, who was constantly ostracized within the sect because of Senior Sister Shu You.

He didn't want to suffer unnecessary difficulties after entering the Bixiao Immortal Sect because of his ordinary background, outstanding talent, and lack of sociability.

Compared to the Bixiao Immortal Sect, the three upper immortal sects, Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, have a good reputation among the admissions teachers and are ranked more powerfully.

The only thing that other immortal sects' admission teachers could criticize was that the three upper immortal sects had too many geniuses, making the competition too fierce. They only looked at talent, so it would be difficult for him to stand out.

Chen Beiwu was not afraid of this.

With the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power and the Nine Breaths Chaotic World, there's no way he can return to an ordinary life in the future.

"Buzz!"

Upon hearing the prompt from the cave's array, Chen Beiwu got up, lifted the cave's restrictions, and opened the cave's entrance.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Wuchen, whom he had met once before.

Compared to his aloof demeanor during previous negotiations, this time his face showed a hint of enthusiasm.

"Please have a seat, sir." Chen Beiwu served hot tea.

Taking the tea, Zhao Wuchen placed it aside with some disdain and went straight to the point: "Chen, what's your decision?"

"I've thought it over. I want to go to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect," Chen Beiwu said without hesitation.

Of the three immortal sects, only the Jade Purity Immortal Sect extended an olive branch to him; the recruitment teachers from the other two immortal sects, the Upper Purity and the Supreme Purity, did not even visit him.

After much deliberation, Chen Beiwu still believed that the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, which valued talent and aptitude over family background, was the right fit for him.

"The Jade Purity Immortal Sect doesn't have any Nascent Soul True Venerables who have cultivated the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book. Chen, would you like to reconsider?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuchen's heart sank.

In the past, upon hearing such a reply, he would not have continued speaking, but would have simply turned and left.

Because the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect has no shortage of ordinary cultivation geniuses!
However, with the reforms of the Bixiao Immortal Sect this year, if he were to let go of a cultivation genius who had broken through three levels in the Contending Realm, was defeated by Gu Qinghan, and cultivated the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book, he would probably be questioned by the sect.

Moreover, Zhao Wuchen had investigated Chen Beiwu's information during this period and knew that the latter had not purchased Moon Dewdrops and Green Vine Branches from the Immortal Alliance's official website. Instead, he had cultivated the Heavenly Book to the eleventh level by listening to the Cleansing Spirit Melody and gaining enlightenment.

What is this concept?
This shows that Chen Beiwu is exceptionally compatible with the "All Laws Return to Flow" Jianmu Heavenly Book. If he receives guidance from the sect's Divine Transformation True Venerable, he may be able to forge a Water-Wood Body, leaving him no time to cultivate Qi, and become a prodigy comparable to the Five Great Grotto Heavens.
