Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 209 Dual-Pole Destiny
He Zhengyu nodded slightly and praised, "To be able to cultivate Tai Xuan Shou Yi to the minor completion level at the age of nineteen is to be regarded as a rare genius and pillar of the Immortal Sect, and he deserves the treatment of a genius."

"Here's what I'll give you: one is the contract qualification for a fourth-tier mystic beast cub, and the other is the opportunity for enlightenment when you have no time to cultivate Qi."

"Choosing the former requires entering the depths of the Jade Purity Mountains and passing the test of the Mystic Beast Parents in order to obtain a fourth-tier companion beast. Of course, if you fail the test, you can only contract a third-tier treasure beast."

"Choosing the latter will allow you to hear the fifth-tier enlightenment artifact, the Jade Morning Bell, ring three times."

"The sound of bells and chimes echoes through the sky, bringing enlightenment after countless tribulations. Listening to the Jade Morning Bell strike three times may give you a chance to enter a state of sudden enlightenment, allowing you to see the flaws in your own cultivation techniques and find the possibility of not having time to practice Qi. However, it may also lead to failure, allowing you to directly forge a foundation beyond the limit."

As soon as He Zhengyu finished speaking, a fist-sized jade bell, resembling a bronze casting, suddenly appeared in front of Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, then said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I choose the contract qualification of a fourth-order mystic beast cub."

After mastering the Heavenly Evolution Revolving Technique, he found an opportunity to practice Qi cultivation without having time for other tasks.

There is actually only one choice in front of you.

He Zhengyu was somewhat surprised to hear this answer.

Without time to practice Qi cultivation, it is difficult to achieve mastery.

In order to recruit a cultivator who had no time to cultivate Qi, the Jade Purity Immortal Sect spent a considerable amount of money this year to snatch away a cultivation prodigy from the Zhouhua Cave Heaven.

Even so, among the 129 new students recruited by the Jade Purity Immortal Sect this year, only two were Qi Refining cultivators and one possessed an Innate Dao Body.

In the previous session—no, to be precise, five years ago—the Jade Purity Immortal Sect didn't even recruit a single Qi Refining freshman.

This demonstrates the difficulty of not having time to practice Qi cultivation.

If Chen Beiwu hadn't cultivated Tai Xuan Shou Yi to a minor level and had the Shou Yi Mirror protecting his spiritual platform, He Zhengyu wouldn't dare say that the Jade Morning Bell had a certain probability of helping him achieve enlightenment.

"Ambitious!" Jiang Chuan Zhenjun laughed heartily.

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.

Chen Beiwu's answer was to his liking.

"This is the Jade Purity Token. With this token, you can enter the depths of the mountains to select a young mythical beast for a contract." With a thought, He Zhengyu sent a beam of jade-white light into Chen Beiwu's palm.

Having received the token, and noticing that Minister He and Jiang Chuan Zhenjun remained silent, Chen Beiwu took his leave.

Only after Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared did He Zhengyu turn to look at Jiang Chuan Zhenjun.

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't reveal any information about the Five Qi Vine to Chen Beiwu," Jiang Chuan Zhenjun smiled.

Although the Five Qi Vine is a fourth-tier Xuan plant, it is a branch of the sect's guardian tree, the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree, and its status is far above that of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect's exclusive treasure beast, the Azure Cloud Pine.

It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Yuqing Immortal Sect was able to become the leader of the thirteen immortal sects is because of its four-tiered Tongcan Xuanzhi Five Qi Vine, which has unlimited potential, can suppress the five elements, and can transform step by step with the cultivator's realm.

In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, the Five Qi Vine is even more important than a fifth-order Yuan Beast.

"Don't tell me you didn't notice that this kid's cultivation method is different from the Immortal Alliance's cultivation system?" He Zhengyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's just practicing some ancient orthodox cultivation methods. What's there to care about? The Qingyuan Huang family was a famous True Venerable clan in ancient times. It's not surprising that they left behind some Qi cultivation and foundation techniques."

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun said calmly, "Moreover, in this era, cultivating immortality by borrowing beasts is the mainstream, otherwise our Yuqing Cave Heaven would not have been reduced to the Yuqing Immortal Sect."

"Be careful what you say." He Zhengyu's eyes narrowed, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul True Venerable suddenly erupted.

……

After leaving the Wuji Tower, Chen Beiwu headed straight for the Immortal Sect's library.

The Heavenly Evolution Revolving Technique requires the perfect combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors to steal a glimpse of heavenly secrets.

In order to find a suitable opportunity, he decided to study the art of divination and also learn about the situation deep in the Yuqing Mountains through books, so as to select a suitable companion beast.

Therefore, the Immortal Sect Library, which students could view and consult for free, became Chen Beiwu's target.

"Student ID required for entry." The cultivator at the library entrance glanced at Chen Beiwu, making no attempt to conceal his aura. 'Good heavens, even the gatekeeper is a Golden Core cultivator.' Chen Beiwu's eyelids twitched, and he handed over his student ID.

He was aware of the importance of the Immortal Sect's library, but having a Golden Core cultivator guard the gate was indeed a bit of an exaggeration.

In the Southern Wilderness, such a being would be a powerful figure capable of dominating a region.

"So you're a freshman." The man said, "The rules of the library are very simple. Remember, you can look at the cultivation books in the library at will, but you cannot damage them in the slightest, let alone take them away, understand?"

Chen Beiwu nodded and went inside.

The Sutra of Karmic Retribution and Causes of the Supreme Spiritual Treasure

Chen Beiwu selected several local secret techniques from the divination and prediction area, intending to study them thoroughly.

According to the records of the Heavenly Evolution Revolving Technique, in order to defy fate and steal heavenly secrets, one needs to take advantage of the celestial phenomenon of a surge in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

For example, celestial phenomena such as the Big Dipper in the sky, the alignment of nine stars, a total lunar eclipse, the simultaneous brilliance of the five planets, and a rainbow connecting heaven and earth.

Each cultivator has a different destiny, and the celestial phenomena they need to rely on also differ. The stronger the celestial phenomena, the more heavenly secrets a cultivator can theoretically steal.

Of course, such rare celestial phenomena are hard to find and require too long a wait, so Chen Beiwu prefers to look for a slightly more common celestial phenomenon.

But before that, he needs to calculate his own destiny.

With the help of the Mirror of Oneness, Chen Beiwu spent ten days and ten nights reading through four books on divination techniques related to destiny.

He then slightly closed his eyes, lightly tapped the jade platform with his knuckles, his finger movements as graceful as butterflies flitting among flowers, and began to use his half-baked knowledge of the Taishang Lingbao Karma Sutra to make deductions.

Based on this deduction, it is necessary to inquire about spiritual artifacts and magical treasures.

The higher the grade of the spiritual treasure, the more accurate the deduced results will be.

Without hesitation, Chen Beiwu chose the Nine Breaths Chaos as the spiritual treasure for his current deduction and inquiry.

"Buzz!"

The deduction ended, and the Nine Breaths Chaos remained completely still, as detached as ever.

The diviner does not divine for himself.

Just when Chen Beiwu thought the divination had failed, a sudden realization arose in his heart.

He has the Donghua Double Extreme Destiny.

The East Wind governs life, the North Wind governs death. This fate is a mix of great fortune and great misfortune, and the person born with this fate possesses both positive and negative influences.

Chen Beiwu's Direct Seal is the Northern Black Emperor Seal, which governs killing and brings cold calamity to his destiny, while his Indirect Seal is the Eastern Green Emperor Seal, which governs vitality and brings spring to his destiny.

The presence of both Direct and Indirect Seals, with two emperors sharing the same esteem, constitutes a unique destiny never recorded in any of the four divination classics.

After all, for an ordinary cultivator to obtain the destiny of a Black Emperor is already considered an excellent destiny, let alone the dual-emperor co-reverence.

'What an ominous fate! Could it be that I miscalculated?' Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat.

That's right, he wasn't a cultivator skilled in divination, so it's normal for him to make a mistake on his first attempt.

To determine his fate, Chen Beiwu used the Nine Breaths Chaos method to calculate three more times, but all three times the result was the same.
