Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 229 Mysterious Realm Demon Ape
According to the records in the Southern Wilderness books, this world is called the Ten Thousand Star, which consists of four regions: the Eastern Land, the Western Heaven, the Southern Wilderness, and the Northern Xuan.

East of the Endless Sea lies the Eastern Land.

That was the region where the human race's cultivation power was at its peak, with numerous powerful cultivators whose influence far surpassed that of the cultivators in the Southern Wilderness. There was even a Void Refinement cultivation giant who established a unified cultivation dynasty, causing countless cultivation sects to submit.

West of the Endless Sea lies the Western Heaven.

The cultivation path in the Western Heaven Domain is completely different from that in the Eastern Wilderness. They do not cultivate to become immortals, but to become Buddhas. Cultivators who attain the Bodhisattva status are comparable in strength to the Refining Void Dao Venerable.

That's right, there are no immortal cultivation sects in the Western Heaven Region; instead, there are temples with numerous rules and regulations.

The humans there who want to embark on the path of cultivation need not only spiritual roots but also wisdom roots. Cultivators without wisdom roots are simply unable to comprehend Buddhist teachings and cultivate.

North of the Endless Sea lies the Northern Mystic Domain.

The Northern Xuan Domain is vast and sparsely populated, and is the territory ruled by the demon race. The dominant force is the Ten Demon Saints, each of whom is as powerful as a Void Refinement Realm expert. They frequently invade the prosperous Eastern Domain.

Located at the southernmost point of the continent, backed by the Endless Sea, the Southern Wilderness Domain lost a large number of powerful individuals due to an ancient calamity.

Currently, the strongest cultivation sect on the surface is the Eight Desolations Sect, which rules the Southern Yan Realm. Its patriarch is a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage, but in terms of strength, it is far inferior to the Eastern Land, Western Heaven, and Northern Xuan Regions.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly: "You've been to the Eastern Region?"

"No." Seeing Chen Beiwu's reaction, Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "But that ruin was left by the ancient array sect of the Southern Wilderness, the Taixu Array Sect, and there must be a teleportation array inside that leads to the Eastern Region."

"Words are no proof. Do you have any evidence?" Chen Beiwu said calmly.

Yan Yue's storage ring flashed, and she took out two jade slips and presented them to him.

"This is the inner disciple token of the Taixu Array Sect. With this token, one can enter the Array Sect ruins. If a cultivator successfully passes the test, they can obtain the array technique inheritance."

"This is the jade slip I received after passing the first test. It contains the second-tier high-grade spirit array, the Jade Void Traveling Body Array."

"A second-tier array master can set up the Jade Void Traveling Array, allowing free movement within the array. Furthermore, studying this array can lead to further cultivation of the third-tier treasure array, the Jade Void Trapping Dragon Array."

"The Jade Void Dragon-Trapping Formation is incredibly powerful, capable of suppressing Immortal Domains and trapping and killing Golden Core True Persons."

"Unfortunately, my strength was limited back then, and I failed to pass the second test of the Taixu Array Sect and obtain the inheritance jade slip of the Jade Void Trapping Dragon Array." Yan Yue's tone was filled with regret.

The lineage of array formations is hard to find.

Since Chen Zi'ang was able to break through the third-tier incomplete formation and enter the main hall, he must also be a second-tier high-grade formation master.

Even in the ancient Southern Wilderness, the Taixu Array Sect was a renowned sect specializing in array formations.

The sect's inheritance includes third-order Golden Core Treasure Arrays, fourth-order True Monarch Profound Arrays, and even fifth-order True Venerable Yuan Arrays.

A prodigy with such outstanding talent as Chen Zi'ang would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

If Chen Zi'ang were to take the bait, Yan Yue was 70% confident that she could use the Taixu Ruins formation to trap and kill him.

"call."

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, gripped the Cold Pool Spirit Sword in his right hand, and slowly shook his head.

He was not a cultivator from the Southern Wilderness, but a disciple of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect of the Immortal Alliance.

The array formation inheritance that was priceless in the eyes of cultivators in the Southern Wilderness could be cultivated simply by choosing to study array formation at the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Compared to the so-called inheritance of the Taixu Formation, Chen Beiwu values ​​more whether there is a teleportation array leading to the Eastern Region within the ruins.

But if he really can't get it, he won't feel bad.

After all, today's gains were already more than enough. The two third-tier magic treasures on Luo Yongjie's person alone were enough for him to exchange for a large number of sect contribution points.

"call out!"

A flash of sword light appeared, and a glint of sword light appeared on Yan Yue's neck.

"why?"

Yan Yue looked incredulous; she had clearly offered enough bargaining chips to save her life.

"I'm sorry, you still couldn't win me over in the end." Chen Beiwu sheathed his sword, his tone calm.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. The reason he talked so much with Yan Yue was to restore the almost depleted magical power in his dantian.

At the same time, secretly using the Tongcan Beast Seal, he could manipulate the illusion to confuse the opponent's senses and find the best opportunity to behead them with a single sword strike.

"thump!"

Looking at the corpse that had fallen with a thud, Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly, and his powerful divine sense surged instantly to capture the remnant memories of its soul.

It is difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to hide their malice in front of him.

If Yan Yue truly submits, he might spare her life and take her as a Foundation Establishment subordinate.

However, the other party always had something to hide, so keeping them around was ultimately a potential problem.

……

The outer perimeter of the Heavenly Evolution True Realm.

How long will it take to break the formation?

Looking at the remnants of the third-tier formation in the main hall square, Gu Jianfeng said calmly.

"It will probably take two days." The Xuanjian Pavilion cultivator in charge of breaking the formation wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I'll give you one day.

After speaking, Gu Jianfeng looked at the four Xuanjian Pavilion cultivators behind him—three men and one woman—and asked, "Where is Li Yuanhang?"

In order to better explore the Heavenly Evolution Realm, he formed a team with six disciples of the sect, but one of them was never able to join the team.

"There's still no news about Senior Brother Li. It's probably because he was moved to a place too far away, causing the Sword Heart Talisman to be unable to sense him," the female cultivator explained.

"Forget it, let's ignore him for now." Gu Jianfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

There are two possibilities why the Sword Heart Talisman cannot be sensed.

First, the distance Zhao Shimei mentioned was too far; second, Li Yuanhang had already perished, and the Sword Heart Talisman on his body had extinguished on its own. Gu Jianfeng hoped it was the former.

At the same time, Li Yuanhang, whom Gu Jianfeng and the others were talking about, had a look of panic on his face.

He poured all the magical power in his dantian into his sword control technique, transforming into a streak of rainbow light as he fled madly.

'Damn it, how could such a terrifying being appear within the Heavenly Evolution True Realm!'

'Is it a Golden Core demon beast or a True Monarch demon beast?'

'Damn it, I don't care if I die, but the sect's true disciples cannot all perish in this secret realm.'

'Even if it means death, I must get to the Sword Heart Talisman's sensing range and notify Senior Brother Gu and the others to evacuate the secret realm as soon as possible, lest they be targeted by that monster!'

Not far behind the rainbow, a dark figure walked through the air, clinging to Li Yuanhang like a persistent leech.

Its eyes were sunken, and its face was covered with a bronze-colored, tattered Buddha mask. Two pairs of huge, crimson eyes could be vaguely seen through the cracks, revealing a cold and cruel gaze.

This masked demonic ape, though only half a zhang tall, was covered in dense, dark gold chains that suppressed its power to the extreme.

Yet the aura it exudes is divine and demonic, as unshakeable as a towering mountain.

As if tired of the cat-and-mouse game, the demon ape took a step forward.

"boom!"

Li Yuanhang immediately spat out blood, which was mixed with a large number of internal organ fragments. Then, countless dark gold chains appeared on his body and bound him tightly.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Li Yuanhang exclaimed, unable to hide his panic.

Seeing Li Yuanhang's expression, the demonic ape remained silent, seemingly admiring its masterpiece.

It wasn't until Li Yuanhang's foundation crumbled into a pile of mud that it lost interest, turning its gaze southeast to search for its next toy.
