Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 214 Famous Throughout the Immortal Sect
Qiyunju, a cave dwelling of the Three Sacred Mountains.

The morning sunlight spills onto the floor, and the tea room is quiet and still, with only the sound of water gradually rising from the jade stove.

As the spiritual water boiled, a male cultivator with deep-set features and an air of nobility lifted the jade pot, and the water in the pot flowed like silver threads, washing over the dark brown tea leaves.

In an instant, the tea mist rose and spread in all directions.

"Have you seen the rookie rankings this time?" Gu Xiao smiled calmly.

The elegant monk sitting opposite him frowned slightly and took out his phone to open it.

"I see. At twenty, he has no time to establish his foundation. The Jade Purity Immortal Sect has gained another young prodigy." Shen Yuanbao commented on Chen Beiwu with an air of superiority.

Upon hearing this, the other two young cultivators were slightly startled and quickly opened the official website of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"Third on the Rising Stars List? What right does a cultivator with a contracted Golden Scale have to replace Brother Shen on the list!" the black-robed cultivator said indignantly.

“That’s right. Both are flawless Foundation Establishment cultivators, but Brother Shen’s contracted beast is a third-tier high-grade treasure beast, the Thunder Moon Ferocious, which is far superior to a lowly Golden Scale.”

With her long, flowing black hair cascading down to her waist, the beautiful female cultivator in palace attire spoke with agreement, her gaze towards Shen Yuanbao filled with admiration.

“Ordinary golden scales wouldn’t be enough to keep Chen Beiwu from building his foundation, let alone getting him third on the rookie rankings.” Shen Yuanbao shook his head slightly.

He could understand the admiration that Ding Xu and Ding Xue had for him, but Chen Beiwu was a peerless genius with exceptional comprehension, who was defeated by the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, Gu Qinghan.

Such a prodigy, let alone contracting a golden scale, would not be a match he could easily underestimate, even if he contracted a green caterpillar.

"Have some tea." Gu Xiao raised his right hand slightly, gesturing for him to have some.

He doesn't care about empty fame.

The reason he spoke up and stirred up trouble for Shen Yuanbao was simply to get Shen Yuanbao to make a move so that he could witness firsthand the strength of this prodigy from a humble background.

If Chen Beiwu is truly exceptionally strong, he wouldn't mind issuing a challenge as the second-ranked rookie.

Shen Yuanbao picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

He then looked at Ding Xu and said calmly, "Go and challenge Chen Beiwu to a duel for me."

He was well aware of Gu Xiao's motives, but so what?
If he doesn't even dare to fight a newly emerging genius of the Immortal Alliance, how will he ever be able to break through the profound barriers and become a cultivator who looks down on countless geniuses?

"Understood." Ding Xu got up and left the tea room.

……

As news of Chen Beiwu's lack of time to establish his foundation spread, more and more students of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect learned that a young prodigy had emerged within the sect.

During this process, some cultivators developed admiration for Chen Beiwu and regarded him as a target to be emulated; some cultivators pursued benefits and regarded Chen Beiwu as a rising star; and some cultivators became interested and regarded Chen Beiwu as a rare opponent.

In short, True Monarch Jiang Chuan got his wish and successfully added fuel to the fire, stirring up the students of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

……

Qiyun Residence, a cave dwelling of Yiyue, is a fourth-tier cave dwelling that only Golden Core True Persons (Outstanding Sect Students) of the Yuqing Immortal Sect can reside in.

Yu Zhaohua glanced at the discussions about Chen Beiwu on the Yuqing Immortal Sect's official website and casually tossed her phone aside.

"Boring. No matter how strong you are at Foundation Establishment, you can't beat an Innate Dao Body."

She muttered something, her slender figure sprawling on the soft bed, as she took out the "Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Manual" to study it.

To Yu Zhaohua's right, a giant beast, resembling a dragon but not quite, with no horns and a body about ten zhang long, had its mouth slightly open.

Hot lava dripped from its mouth, scorching a large crater in the floor; it was clearly starving.

"I almost forgot to feed them."

Yu Zhaohua's storage ring flashed slightly as she took out a low-grade third-tier precious pill and fed it to the Fellow Beast.

Upon entering the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, she firmly held the top spot on the Rising Star Ranking, a position unshakeable even by Foundation Establishment cultivators without flaws. This was not solely due to her innate Dao Body, but also to her fourth-tier superior-grade Xuan Beast, the [Flint Rock Coiled Dragon]. The Coiled Dragon is not a dragon, but a fire-attribute variant born from the interaction of earth fire essence and the energy of the ancient dragon vein. It possesses an unparalleled, domineering power akin to a volcanic eruption, making it a unique existence among fourth-tier Xuan Beasts.

However, the Flintstone Dragon grows extremely slowly, requiring five thousand years to shed its lava-like scales, stir up the earth's veins, and silence volcanoes for thousands of miles before it can successfully reach adulthood and advance to the fourth realm of demon king.

If the Flint Dragon wants to take another step forward and transform its bloodline into that of a dragon, it will take at least tens of thousands of years.

Yu Zhaohua's innate Dao body can significantly shorten the growth time of the Flint Rock Coiled Dragon.

It is precisely for this reason that the Flint Rock Dragon chose to become Yu Zhaohua's companion beast.

Patting the scales of the Tongcan Beast, Yu Zhaohua looked at the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Manual, her eyes showing difficulty.

With a Dao body and the assistance of a fourth-tier Xuan Beast, she had already advanced to the peak of Foundation Establishment a year ago.

In order to forge a first-grade golden core, or even a titled golden core above the first-grade golden core, she currently spends most of her cultivation time gathering earthly evil essence to temper her magic power, consolidate her foundation, and comprehend the secret methods of core formation.

Compared to the Golden Core Dao, a flawless Foundation Establishment cultivator, though rare, is not enough to pique Yu Zhaohua's interest.

Unless Chen Beiwu can defeat Gu Xiao and stand in front of her.

……

"Third on the rookie list?"

At the suggestion of Senior Sister Feng Ya, Chen Beiwu logged onto the official website of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

As expected, the official website is filled with discussions about him.

The reason is simple: Chen Beiwu is too mysterious. He hasn't attended a single class since entering the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, and few of his classmates know his appearance or clothing habits.

Of course, some prodigies with powerful backgrounds, born into Daoist Immortal Clan or True Venerable Clan, can easily find Chen Beiwu's detailed information.

Even if they obtained his contact information, the prodigies of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect would not contact Chen Beiwu directly by phone, lest they expose their investigation of him. Instead, they would ask Feng Ya, with whom they had previous contact, to introduce them.

"Junior brother, do you want a cultivation partner?"

"If you nod, I can deliver it to you today."

Upon seeing the message from Senior Sister Feng Ya, Chen Beiwu was speechless: "Senior Sister, please stop joking."

“I’m not kidding. Junior, you’re in high demand right now. Even several noble illegitimate daughters from powerful immortal clans have asked me for your contact information.”

"As long as you are willing to speak, there are plenty of female cultivators who would like to become your Daoist partners."

Sensing the teasing tone in Feng Ya's voice, Chen Beiwu replied, "Senior, please help me reject them all."

Those female cultivators from noble backgrounds are too troublesome; he can't be bothered with them.

He would rather spend this time studying the Foundation Building Chapter of the Jianmu Heavenly Book, which states that all laws return to their source.

Putting down his phone, Chen Beiwu took out the jade slip containing the Heavenly Book of Kung Fu and stuck it to his forehead.

"In the beginning of chaos, the clear and the turbid were separated. Heaven gave birth to Gui water, and Earth gave birth to Yi wood."

"Water is the true essence of Yin, the mother of all things, hidden in the myriad rivers of the Northern Darkness."

Wood represents the nascent energy of Lesser Yang, the source of life, originating from the Azure Palace of the Eastern Pole.

"If water never dries up, trees will live long; if trees never wither, water will return to its source. This is the pivot of the cycle of nature, the foundation of cultivating both body and spirit..."

Under the light of the Mirror of Guardian, Chen Beiwu successfully mastered the Foundation Building Chapter of the Heavenly Book and easily condensed the Azure Wood Spirit Qi Cyclone in his Dantian.

On the contrary, Jin Dan stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.
