Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 239: Directly Reaching Heaven
"A few strands of top-grade Earthly Fiend Qi from the Five Elements?" Yu Shuiyao couldn't help but chuckle.

This junior apprentice Chen is really daring to ask for an exorbitant amount.

Mid-grade Earthly Fiend Essence is alright; although this quality of Earthly Fiend Essence is rare, it is not as precious as a third-grade Treasure Pill.

However, the superior-grade Earthly Fiend Essence of the Five Elements is different. Its value is so high that it can even be compared with, or even surpass, the third-grade treasure pill, Golden Palace Pill.

It should be understood that in order for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to break through to the Golden Core stage, they must collect the essence of the Earthly Fiends and condense the true qi within their body into Earthly Fiend True Qi, so that a trace of immortal golden nature can be nurtured during the Core Formation process.

The higher the quality of the earthly essence, the higher the grade of the golden core that a cultivator can form.

There is a consensus among the five major sects of the Earthly Realm that if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wants to forge a top-grade Golden Core, he must at least collect a wisp of top-grade Earthly Fiend Essence corresponding to the attribute of his cultivation technique.

Otherwise, the golden core formed will inevitably be of the middle third grade, or even the lower third grade.

The first patriarch of the Jingyue Sect left behind four sentences:
Those who achieve the third-grade Golden Core will never have the chance to become a True Lord.

Those who achieve the third grade of the Golden Elixir have the potential to become True Lords, but not True Venerables.

Those who can form the third-grade Golden Elixir can become True Lords and have the potential to transform into Gods.

Those who can form the highest-grade Golden Core can become True Monarchs and True Venerables, and in the future, they may even reach the realm of Dao Venerable.

This demonstrates the importance of the top-grade Earthly Fiend Essence; it is no exaggeration to say that it is a strategic cultivation resource for the five major sects.

The sect possesses superior Earthly Fiend Essence, known as Gui Water Earthly Fiend, commonly called the Myriad Dark Earthly Fiend Qi. It is the ultimate Earthly Fiend, and even a wisp of it can freeze magical treasures.

The sect can only gather one strand of the Myriad Netherworld Fiend every sixty years, and only two strands can be collected in a hundred years, so you can imagine how precious it is.

When Yu Shuiyao was in her Foundation Establishment stage, she overpowered countless geniuses in the sect. She risked her life for the sect for decades before finally obtaining a wisp of the Myriad Netherworld Earthly Fiend and successfully forming a second-grade Golden Core.

Chen Zi'ang asked for several strands of top-grade Earthly Fiend Essence as if it were as common as cabbage, which really made Yu Shuiyao unable to hold back.

However, to be fair, the value of a fourth-tier array plate is indeed above that of high-grade Earthly Fiend Essence.

Moreover, Chen Zi'ang is a prodigy who has forged the Heavenly Dao Foundation. Even if he doesn't apply, the sect's higher-ups will bestow upon him a wisp of Myriad Netherworld Earthly Fiend, which might be able to create a powerful expert who can forge a first-grade Golden Core.

Seeing Elder Yu's reaction, Chen Beiwu was somewhat surprised.

The Southern Wilderness is rich in resources, unlike the Immortal Alliance which strictly controls high-end breakthrough resources.

Logically speaking, bestowing a few strands of high-grade Earthly Fiend Essence should not be a problem for the sect.

"The Myriad Netherworld Earthly Fiends are simple to deal with. The sect still has some in stock, so it's not difficult to take out a strand."

"The Evergreen Earthly Fiend requires the Ancestor to issue a decree in order to obtain a strand of it from the Green Wood Sect."

At this point, Yu Shuiyao paused slightly and looked at Chen Beiwu, "Besides the Earthly Fiend Essence, what other rewards do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu was somewhat disappointed.

Elder Yu's meaning was quite clear.

The Myriad Netherworld Fiends are acceptable, but the Evergreen Fiends are less certain. To obtain this item, we need to alarm the Ancestor and persuade him to change his request.

"If possible, this disciple would like a drop of water-attribute dragon essence blood of rank three or higher," Chen Beiwu changed his request.

For the Golden Egg to break through the shackles of its bloodline, awaken the Golden Horned Flood Dragon bloodline within it, and successfully become a Flood Dragon, it needs at least one drop of the essence blood of a third-realm Flood Dragon.

To be on the safe side, Chen Beiwu decided to exchange one drop of dragon essence blood each in the Immortal Alliance and the Southern Wilderness.

One drop belongs to the water element, and the other to the wood element. A powerful combination might maximize the activation of the bloodline within the golden egg.

'Blood essence of a water-attribute dragon of rank three or higher?'

After pondering for a moment, Yu Shuiyao decided to reveal some information to establish a good relationship with Chen Zi'ang, and at the same time take this opportunity to test the ancestor's inclinations.

After all, given Chen Zi'ang's aptitude, as long as he doesn't die prematurely, achieving the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages in the future, and sitting down to discuss Dao and formations with me, is practically a certainty. If the patriarch is willing to dedicate the sect's resources to nurturing Chen Zi'ang, with his potential, even becoming a Nascent Soul True Venerable in the future wouldn't be a pipe dream.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuiyao smiled slightly and reminded him, "If Junior Nephew Chen is not in a hurry, he can apply for a drop of fourth-order Chilong essence blood."

How can I allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

The Xuanhao Sea is not far from the Jingyue Sea, only a few million miles away.

Inside dwells a fourth-order Chi dragon, which is over five thousand years old and is known as the Xuanhao Chi dragon by cultivators of the Earth Evolution Realm.

The Xuanhao Chilong is a rare dragon species with extraordinary strength. Even among the demon kings, it is one of the most powerful beings. It uses its dragon breath to blacken thousands of miles of sea, forming a unique ink tide phenomenon.

For the past ten years, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, a circular tsunami with waves hundreds of feet high would appear in the Xuanhao Sea, gathering all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in one place.

According to the ancestor's divination, such celestial phenomena were not ordinary, but rather an unusual phenomenon caused by the transformation of the Xuanhao Chilong's bloodline, which was preparing to become a dragon.

It should be noted that Xuanhao Chilong is a fourth-order demon king comparable to the peak of True Monarch. If it could advance its bloodline further and shed its Chilong body, it could become a fifth-order demon lord comparable to the Divine Transformation True Venerable. This would undoubtedly be a grave taboo.

The five major sects of the Earthly Realm can tolerate the existence of a fourth-order Chi Dragon, but they cannot tolerate the appearance of a fifth-order Qiu Dragon.

The task of slaying the dragon is imperative.

Moreover, a dragon blood and flesh core from a peak fourth-order demon king is enough to give the five major sects one or two more Nascent Soul True Monarchs, or even to refine a fourth-order longevity pill.

In short, if the patriarch has high hopes for Chen Zi'ang and intends to make him the successor of the sect, he will most likely not refuse the latter's request for the reward of dragon blood, but will be happy to see it happen.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly, and he said with great joy, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Fourth-tier Chilong essence blood is extremely rare, and consuming this level of essence blood is essential to finding an excellent dragon vein location.

With the subtle transformation from the "All Laws Return to Flow" Jianmu Heavenly Book and the "Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate True Spirit Diagram," the Golden Egg might just be able to unleash a flood and become a fourth-tier mystical beast.

"No need for formalities." Yu Shuiyao nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the Void Escape Array Plate.

She desperately wanted to understand this fourth-order array plate, but unfortunately, it was something the ancestor wanted.

Seeing this, the sensible Chen Beiwu immediately took his leave.

Only after Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared did Yu Shuiyao sigh and take out the ancestral decree.

Compared to before, the light spots in the decree were much dimmer, numbering around a hundred, many of which contained the energy left behind by the sect's true disciples.

Clearly, they all died within the Heavenly Evolution True Realm, their cultivation paths ending there.

"Buzz!"

As Yu Shuiyao activated her magic, the decree she held in her hands suddenly moved without any wind.

The sun hangs on the left shoulder, the moon mirror floats on the right shoulder, and the Purple Palace Yang Spirit manifests behind the head!

The moment this Nascent Soul Dharma Image appeared, an invisible pressure swept across the entire Fortune Cabin.

Under this oppressive force, Yu Shuiyao's magical power and blood energy instantly subsided, like a candle flame that could not emit any light in front of the blazing sun.

This was merely a wisp of the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form of a Nascent Soul True Monarch's descent, not a true descent, thus demonstrating the vast difference between a Golden Core True Person and a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

What has alarmed me?

An ancient and vast voice descended from the heavens, shaking Yu Shuiyao's soul.

Yu Shuiyao bowed according to the sect's rules and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Ancestor, the sect has discovered an unparalleled genius!"

"His name is Chen Zi'ang, he is twenty years old, he has forged the Heavenly Evolution Dao Foundation, and in the secret realm he has obtained the recognition of the inheritance stele, and received the Heavenly Evolution Pill and the fourth-order array plate..."
