Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 219 True Monarch's Secret Realm
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Shaoyuan even had a somewhat ridiculous conjecture.

Even if he were to make a move now, he might not be able to defeat Chen Zi'ang.

On the contrary, it may force away a promising genius who is expected to uphold the reputation of the sect and even lead the sect to rise.

Chen Zi'ang's calm demeanor stirred a ripple in Zhu Shaoyuan's heart, leading him to suspect that his disciple possessed some deadly techniques or special escape methods that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could have.

'Never mind,' Zhu Shaoyuan thought to himself.

For the Mirror Moon Sect, a promising cultivator who has the potential to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch and has a strong sense of belonging to the sect is far more valuable than a possible True Monarch inheritance.

To put it bluntly, the risks and benefits of taking action are not equal.

Even if he could see some of his disciple's secrets, Zhu Shaoyuan was unwilling to take the risk.

"Buzz!" With a thought, Zhu Shaoyuan sent three golden rays into Chen Ziang's hand.

As the golden light dissipated, Chen Beiwu opened his palm and saw a highly spiritual golden needle and two jade slips.

"This needle is a one-time-use magic weapon, the Great Desolate Calamity Needle, which I personally crafted. It contains the Great Desolate Calamity Earth Flame."

"Using divine sense to unleash an attack equivalent to that of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, its effectiveness lasts for a hundred years. It's suitable for self-defense and can be considered a gift from your master to congratulate you on your advancement to Foundation Establishment."

"A jade slip records the secret method of forming the elixir [the Dao-Suppressing Furnace Elixir Method], which contains my insights into the art of weapon crafting."

"The other jade slip is my communication talisman. You can ask me any questions you may have about cultivation at any time," Zhu Shaoyuan said gently.

Ordinary cultivators have to risk their lives for their sect to receive rewards, but geniuses enjoy different treatment.

In order to win over Chen Zi'ang and increase the disciples' sense of belonging to the sect, Zhu Shaoyuan did not mind giving away some cultivation resources as a favor.

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Master." Chen Beiwu bowed deeply, his face filled with gratitude.

"No need for formalities, just focus on your cultivation and achieve the Core Formation as soon as possible." Zhu Shaoyuan nodded slightly, and his divine sense avatar transformed into a golden ray and disappeared.

Seeing this, Yun Yishu chuckled and said, "Master is really biased. When I advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, Master didn't bestow anything upon me."

"Senior Sister Yun, what kind of magic weapon did you create back then?" Chen Beiwu changed the subject.

"The array flag of the Third-Order Array Diagram Magic Treasure, the Suspended Netherworld Locking Pill Burial Sea Array." Yun Yishu said gently, "If Junior Brother wants to delve deeper into the Dao of Arrays, he can also choose to refine array diagram magic treasures."

"By the way, speaking of formations, Junior Brother Chen, do you remember that third-tier Corpse Refining Evil Formation?"

Chen Beiwu nodded. "Of course I remember."

"I consulted my master about this matter. My master had no interest in that third-tier golden-armored corpse, but Palace Master Yu was quite interested and decided to take action to subdue the demon."

Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up slightly. "Senior sister, when do we set off?"

“I had already discussed the departure time with Lord Yu.” Yun Yishu frowned slightly. “But Lord Yu suddenly sent a message a couple of days ago saying that there was an urgent matter and the time needed to be changed.”

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just then, two loud bells rang out from outside the cave, shaking the heavens and earth and clearing the minds of the cultivators.

"The bell tolls twice, could something big have happened?" Chen Beiwu's expression changed slightly.

He was well-versed in the sect's laws and knew that the sect's golden bell had five rings.

The sound of the golden bell marks the day the sect begins its founding and accepts disciples.

The second ringing of the golden bell was a summons for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect.

The three rings of the golden bell signify an invasion by foreign enemies, signaling the sect to enter a state of war preparedness and summoning Golden Core cultivators back to the sect.

The fourth ring of the golden bell signifies that the five major sects are locked in fierce battle, and a Golden Core cultivator has fallen within one of them. The fifth ring of the golden bell signifies that the sect has reached a critical juncture, awakening its patriarch from seclusion.

"Let's go, Junior Brother Chen." Senior Sister Yun stood up and looked towards the main branch outside the cave, her expression solemn.

The sect's rules are as firm as mountains; all Foundation Establishment cultivators who hear the bell must go to the main branch to hear the decree of the Golden Core elders.

Even those of noble birth who are expected to form their core are no exception.

Only Foundation Establishment cultivators whose lifespan is nearly exhausted, who open the cave's grand formation, and enter seclusion in search of a breakthrough, can ignore the two rings of the golden bell.

Yun Yishu had a premonition that the reason why Lord Yu changed his plans at the last minute might be related to the two ringing of the golden bell today.

……

Jingyue main peak, Elder Hall.

A spirited female cultivator with long hair, dressed in plain clothes, sharp brows like swords, and a small cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye quietly looked at the dense array of escape lights in the sky outside the hall.

This person was none other than Yu Shuiyao, the third elder of the sect, the master of the Array Hall, and only one step away from becoming a fourth-level array master.

"There are five thousand inner disciples. I wonder how many Foundation Establishment cultivators will perish during this exploration of the True Monarch Secret Realm," Yu Shuiyao sighed.

The True Monarch's Secret Realm is fraught with danger. Even Golden Core cultivators may perish at any time if they enter, let alone some Foundation Establishment cultivators with low cultivation levels.

"Serving the sect to the death is the responsibility of these Foundation Establishment disciples."

A Golden Core elder with long hair, dressed in plain clothes, and a pure and innocent appearance, like a young girl in her prime, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Yu Shuiyao glanced at the affected Yu Zhaoli, but said nothing.

The discovery of what appears to be the legacy left by True Monarch Tianyan within the secret realm of the Qingmu Sect is what alarmed her and Elder Yu.

Tianyan Zhenjun was a renowned fourth-tier high-grade array master from 6,800 years ago, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

A True Monarch cultivator of this caliber is a renowned immortal cultivator even in the entire Southern Wilderness Region, and even the major sects of the Southern Wilderness in the past were unwilling to offend him casually.

Because True Monarch Tianyan was a rogue cultivator, all alone and without any ties, once he went mad, only a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage could kill him without harm.

Even so, such a highly accomplished True Monarch cultivator could not withstand the erosion of time and left behind a legacy before passing away.

"Elder Yu, do you really think there is a Nascent Soul Pill and the Heavenly Evolution True Monarch Formation inheritance in that True Monarch's Secret Realm?" Yu Shuiyao felt that something was not right.

"Who knows?" Yu Zhaoli said seriously.

The actions of the Heavenly Evolution True Lord are both righteous and wicked, making him difficult to fathom. The legacy he left behind could be a rare opportunity or a trap to scheme against future generations.

Fortunately, before his death, True Monarch Tianyan set up a fourth-order high-grade profound array to restrict the cultivation level of those entering the secret realm to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Otherwise, these high-ranking Golden Core elders would have to fight alongside the other four major sects' Golden Core cultivators to compete for the True Monarch Secret Realm's inheritance and resources, instead of sitting back and waiting for their Foundation Establishment disciples to decide the winner and maintain the apparent order.

……

Mirror Moon Peak, Cultivation Plaza.

Chen Beiwu and Senior Sister Yun landed on the flying boat artifact.

Looking at the radiant aura of fortune shining above the heads of the Foundation Establishment cultivators around him, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion:
'As expected of one of the five major sects in the Earthly Realm, the sect boasts at least two thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators present. No wonder their Golden Core cultivators have been able to emerge generation after generation!'

"quiet!"

Just then, the Golden Core Elder's voice rang out, and the noisy cultivation square instantly fell silent.
