Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 222 Gathering of the Strong

Longque Mountain Range.

The endless green mountains stretch out like a lurking dragon, home to countless demonic beasts, including many third-tier beasts. Deep within the mountains, there are even rumors of fourth-tier mystical beasts with strength comparable to Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Such beings are also known as Demon Kings by cultivators in the Southern Wilderness. Every so often, they would trigger beast tides to compete for territory and resources, invading human lands and engaging in battles with the Green Wood and Burning Flame sects.

We've finally arrived.

Chen Beiwu stood on the deck of the warship, looking towards a solitary peak at the edge of the mountain range.

Unlike the surrounding towering peaks that seem to pierce the heavens and earth like pillars, this solitary peak is barren of vegetation, its spiritual energy in disarray, as if a great battle once took place there, resulting in the entire mountain being cut in half.

The next second, to Chen Beiwu's astonishment, the earth's veins on the solitary peak trembled, and ripples spread across the sky, as if some terrifying being was about to descend.

boom!
boom!
boom!
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, the void of the mountain range suddenly cracked open, revealing a spiderweb-like network of pitch-black spatial rifts. Each rift was hundreds of feet long and emitted a chilling aura.

"It turns out that the Heavenly Evolution True Realm has not yet fully broken through the void and emerged into the world."

Upon witnessing this scene, Senior Sister Feng's eyes widened in shock, marveling at the immense power of heaven and earth before her, and also marveling at the unfathomable might of the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch were to perish and pass away, the methods he left behind would still be enough to stir up the winds and clouds, attracting countless cultivators to gather.

Just then, Chen Beiwu suddenly looked up and gazed in the northwest direction.

A colossal warship, its surface covered in lava and its prow shaped like a roaring Qilin, streaked across the sky, rapidly approaching.

Following Chen Ziang's gaze, Senior Sister Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and she calmly said, "That is the Qilin warship of the Burning Flame Sect."

The five major sects of the Earthly Realm each have their own strengths.

The Burning Flame Sect has the strongest magic, the Profound Sword Pavilion has the strongest combat power, the Heavy Metal Sect has the strongest body refinement, the Green Wood Sect has the strongest spiritual plants, and the Mirror Moon Sect has the strongest alchemy.

The Mirror Moon Sect, the Green Wood Sect, and the Profound Sword Pavilion have a good relationship and can be considered allies who help each other. Together, they resist the Burning Flame Sect and the Heavy Gold Sect and maintain the apparent order within the Earthly Roots.

During this exploration of the secret realm, they need to be aware not only of the dangers of the Heavenly Evolution True Realm itself, but also of the threats posed by the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Burning Flame Sect and the Heavy Gold Sect.

"Where is Zhu Qiong? Does she dare to come out and fight me?"

Suddenly, a streak of rainbow light flashed from the Qilin warship. When the light dissipated, the figure of a young cultivator was revealed.

He walked on air, wearing a crimson Taoist robe, and had a gold ring with a flame on his right ear.

Holding a long spear with high spiritual power that changed its luster with magical power, he exuded an incomparably domineering aura, causing the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Mirror Moon Sect to show surprise.

“It’s Luo Yongjie, the number one disciple of the Burning Flame Sect in this generation!” Senior Sister Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Luo Yongjie possessed exceptional talent and a naturally fiery spiritual root physique. At the age of seven, he successfully began cultivating the Burning Flame Sect's most powerful cultivation technique, the "True Flame Heart Sutra of the Ashes."

He broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of thirty and reached the peak of Foundation Establishment at the age of sixty. He dared to venture into the Dragon Gate Mountain Range alone and single-handedly killed a fake Core Formation cultivator. His strength can be described as extremely formidable.

However, there is always someone stronger than the strongest. Luo Yongjie is not the strongest prodigy of his generation, and he has only suffered two defeats since his rise to prominence.

First, he was defeated by Senior Sister Zhu Qiong, the top disciple of the sect; second, he was defeated by Gu Jianfeng, the top disciple of the Xuanjian Pavilion.

Could it be that Luo Yongjie's provocation and challenge was intended to use Senior Sister Zhu Qiong to hone his skills and attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage?

Chen Beiwu looked at Luo Yongjie with a look of great interest.

This current top disciple of the Burning Flame Sect does seem to have some skill, but it's unclear whether he can defeat him and the Golden Egg in a one-on-one fight.

"Not here?" Luo Yongjie frowned slightly, his eyes showing regret.

He knew Zhu Qiong's murderous nature all too well; she wouldn't tolerate any provocation.

He had publicly challenged Zhu Qiong to a duel, but she hadn't shown up, meaning Zhu Qiong wasn't even on those two Earthly Fiend Treasure Ships. 'Very well, after I defeat Gu Jianfeng, I'll ascend the Mirror Moon Sect's mountain gate and challenge Zhu Qiong to a duel, thus avenging my humiliation.'

Luo Yongjie shook his head, ignoring the gazes of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Mirror Moon Sect, and with a flash, returned to the Qilin warship.

Among the true disciples of the Mirror Moon Sect of the same generation, only Zhu Qiong is worthy of his respect.

The other true disciples were all worthless and easily defeated; he had no interest in even glancing at them.

"call!"

Seeing Luo Yongjie leave, Gong Junkai and Mu Xinyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even among true disciples, there are differences, not to mention that they are ranked outside the top ten on the Mirror Moon List, far from being able to compete with the top disciple, who is a prodigy.

If Luo Yongjie continues to challenge them from afar, out of consideration for the sect's reputation, even if they are certain to lose, they will not tolerate his arrogance.

“Something’s not right. Luo Yongjie has become stronger. If you accidentally get separated from him and encounter him in the Heavenly Evolution Realm, it’s best to avoid him. If you really can’t avoid him, don’t worry about saving face, just admit defeat.” Senior Sister Feng said solemnly.

She had personally witnessed the fight between her senior sister and Luo Yongjie.

Back then, Luo Yongjie was far from being as powerful and invincible as he is today, giving her an unparalleled feeling and making her unable to even muster the slightest thought of fighting him.

'Strange, could it be that he has already collected all the top-grade Earthly Fiend Essence and condensed a trace of immortal magic power?' Feng Yao bit her lip lightly, and an unbelievable guess suddenly popped into her mind.

If her guess is true, then the Burning Flame Sect is truly willing to sacrifice.

In order to explore the Heavenly Evolution Realm and obtain the True Monarch's inheritance and the Nascent Soul Pill, they even forced a prodigy like Luo Yongjie to suppress his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment stage, not even fearing that he would perish in the secret realm.

"Buzz!"

Upon arrival at their destination, the Earthly Fiend Treasure Ship began its descent.

"A heavily armed warship."

"Mysterious Sword Boat".

"Aoki Tengzhou".

"Earthly Fiend Treasure Boat".

"Qilin Warship"

Looking at the five major sects' third-tier warships anchored near the isolated half-peak, many Foundation Establishment demonic beasts in the Dragon Gate Mountain Range showed fear in their eyes.

Only one colossal beast, over ten zhang tall and covered in dark purple scales, snorted disdainfully.

This beast has three eyes, with a vertical pupil between its forehead that is golden-purple. Its head is shaped like a ferocious giant lion, with bulging muscles and a back that is as high as a mountain peak.

Surrounded by blue-purple arcs of electricity, his breath spewed out lightning and fire, sounding like ten thousand drums beating in unison; he was clearly the king who commanded this group of Foundation Establishment demon beasts.

[Species]: Thunderous Roar
[Attribute]: Lightning, Fire
[Bloodline]: Mid-grade Fourth Rank (Mystic Beast)
[Cultivation Level]: Over 500 years

Chen Beiwu paused slightly, his attention drawn to the giant beast not far away.

The Thunderous Roar is an ancient, extinct species from Tianyuan Star. The bloodline within it can be traced back to the ancient times when it was a fearsome and powerful innate thunder beast that wielded divine punishment.

On the Heavenly Divine Beast Ranking List, the Thunderous Roar ranks thirty-third, making it a coveted companion beast for all cultivators with thunder-attribute spiritual roots.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a fourth-tier mystical beast with extraordinary bloodline is priceless. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance would take immediate action to subdue it, and it might even attract the attention of a Divine Transformation True Venerable.
