Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 255 The storm is coming
"Shen Yuanbao actually admitted defeat?"

A monk murmured to himself, his tone tinged with emotion.

As a former defeated opponent of Shen Yuanbao, he knew all too well how arrogant the former was and how formidable his strength was.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Shen Yuanbao would ever lower his head and admit that he was inferior to others.

"While the Beast Taming and Landscape Contemplation Technique is very powerful, it pales in comparison to the Purifying Thunder Lotus."

At this point, a senior student of the same class as Ye Xinya shook his head and sighed, "Actually, there shouldn't be such a big gap!"

He can also tame beasts and explore the wonders of nature, and he has also cultivated his own unique, divinely bestowed initial realm.

However, it can only raise the level of the same beast by one small realm, unlike Chen Beiwu, who could make the same beast break through the realm limit and leap to such a level.

"Shen Yuanbao's defeat at the hands of a third-realm dragon is not unjust," Gu Xiao said, gripping his sword tightly with a complex expression.

After entering the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, he also practiced the wondrous method of controlling beasts and observing landscapes.

However, for Foundation Establishment cultivators, constructing the Heavenly Gift Initial Scene is a meticulous and lengthy undertaking.

Even now, he hasn't even finalized the basic shape of the landscape.

Chen Beiwu's ability to cultivate to the initial stage of the realm within a year demonstrates his exceptional comprehension, placing him among the top talents of the Immortal Alliance he has ever encountered. It's no wonder he was able to directly rise to third place on the Rising Star Ranking.

There was just one thing Gu Xiao didn't understand: how exactly did a strange golden-scaled creature withstand the transformation of a three-realm dragon's cultivation and bloodline?
Logically speaking, the moment the alien golden scales transform into a third-realm dragon, its physical body will most likely collapse and it will explode and die.

Not only the geniuses present, but also the Nascent Soul True Monarchs watching from afar were somewhat surprised.

"With the foundation-building realm, the true meaning of the Five Elements of the Heavenly River Jianmu is evolved, creating an unprecedented landscape scene."

Junior Brother's mastery of both beast taming and martial arts is probably only matched by the monsters of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens among the younger generation; even Yu Zhaohua pales in comparison.

Looking at the three realms of dragons in the illusory scene, True Monarch Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and commented:
"If we can continue to refine and improve the landscape map, my junior brother might have the potential to create an unparalleled landscape."

Without a solid foundation, one is insufficient to challenge an innate Dao body and will suffer a crushing defeat; Gu Xiao, Shen Yuanbao, and others are examples of this.

However, the combination of flawless foundation building and unparalleled beast-taming landscape is a completely different concept, and may even surpass the innate Dao body.

"Excellent!"

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun laughed heartily, his gaze piercing through the void, as if he could see a future scene of fierce competition among immortal sects.

One is born perfect, the other is perfected through acquired skill!
It is no exaggeration to say that with Chen Beiwu joining, the position of chief of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect will definitely be in turmoil.

"The Beast Taming and Landscape Comparison Technique is still a bit weak. With Junior Brother's talent, he should embark on the strongest cultivation path and cultivate the Immortal Alliance's supreme Comparison Technique, the Three Pure Ones Comparison Landscape Immortal Technique."

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun nodded slightly, deciding to consult his master.

The Three Pure Ones' Joint Observation of the Immortal Realm is of paramount importance, as it is the supreme inheritance of the Jade Pure Immortal Sect.

Even though he was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he was not qualified to grant his junior brother the right to comprehend immortal techniques, but his master could decide this matter with a single word.

……

"then."

Shen Yuanbao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a flash of lightning appeared on his storage ring, drawing an arc in the air.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu's lightning disappeared, and an ancient token landed in his palm.

"This is against the rules."

Chen Beiwu glanced at the cave dwelling token, which read "Qiyunju" in seal script.

According to the rules of the cave dwelling competition, the loser does not need to hand over the cave dwelling, but only needs to pay a high amount of academic credits as the price of defeat, in order to prevent students of the Immortal Sect from launching cave dwelling challenges for no reason.

"Rules? If you lose, you lose. I'm not someone who can't accept defeat."

Shen Yuanbao put away the Purple Lightning Leopard and turned around. He then paused, his tone sharp: "Once my Purifying Thunder Lotus is fully developed, I will take back the cave token from you."

Chen Beiwu stroked the token with his fingertips, looking in the direction Shen Yuanbao had left with an expression of appreciation in his eyes.

Giving away a fourth-tier cave dwelling so readily, this Shen family prodigy is truly generous.

It wasn't in vain that he wasted his time fighting him.

"Gulu."

Just then, the golden egg lowered its dragon eyes, its body shone brightly, and its dragon body shrank continuously until it finally returned to its fish-dragon form.

Its eyes rolled back immediately, and it fainted.

Chen Beiwu picked up the golden egg, activated his divine sense to examine it, and found that it was a deep sleep caused by the body's essence, energy, and spirit reaching their limit.

During deep sleep, the golden egg's spiritual cultivation and bloodline can undergo a certain degree of transformation.

'With a few more visits to the Beast Taming Scenic Area, Golden Egg's cultivation level should rise to over four hundred years, allowing him to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.'

As Chen Beiwu pondered this, dozens of figures had already surrounded him from all directions.

"Junior Brother Chen, I am Chen Mo, an eighth-level student of the sect, with a cultivation level of late Foundation Establishment. Would you be interested in sparring with me?"

"Senior Chen, I am currently studying the profound method of taming beasts and observing landscapes. I am willing to exchange a third-tier precious herb for your guidance."

"Junior Brother Chen!" A female cultivator in purple robes said softly, her eyes sparkling, "I recently acquired a batch of top-quality Yunding Dragon Sprout tea. Would you be interested in joining me at my cave dwelling for a cup of tea?"

It's quite normal that the Jade Purity Immortal Sect has cultivators who are arrogant and disdainful of associating with powerful families, as well as active cultivators who are shrewd and sociable, and second-generation disciples with deep backgrounds who want to recruit talented cultivators.

Every place has its own circles, and even the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, a gathering place for geniuses, is like a small world, accommodating all sorts of cultivator circles.

However, these circles have different levels of hierarchy and varying entry requirements.

Some cultivators, if they lack the background and cultivation ability, will not be able to enter higher-level circles even if they are willing to abandon their dignity and kneel down to beg.

But Chen Beiwu, a peerless genius, is an exception.

Within the Immortal Sect, all factions and circles, large and small, were eager to extend goodwill and accept a promising powerhouse ranked third on the Rising Stars List.

Chen Beiwu also thought of this.

Therefore, he was very friendly in the face of these attempts to befriend him. After exchanging contact information with each of them, he said that his fellow beast had fallen into a coma and took his leave.

"The mutant golden scale is incredibly powerful; even the Earthly Fiend Beast is no match for it!"

Watching Chen Beiwu's departing figure, a second-generation member of a True Venerable Clan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, do you think it's necessary for my next Fellowship Beast to form a contract with a different species, the Golden Scale?"

Upon hearing this, the students present exchanged speechless glances, and some even rolled their eyes.

Anyone with eyes can see that Chen Beiwu not only possesses exceptional talent, but his contracted companion beast is also an incredibly rare and extraordinary species within the Golden Scale clan.

However, the most difficult part for the exotic golden scales to transform into a dragon is the dragon-walking technique.

If a creature cannot perform the Dragon Walk, its potential, no matter how high, is wasted, and it will eventually be eliminated because it cannot keep up with the cultivator's progress.

Given Chen Beiwu's current talent and abilities, the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect would most likely not mind helping to solve the problem of the Golden Scaled Dragon, something they themselves could not do.

If they blindly follow the trend and contract with the exotic golden scales, they may end up with nothing because they cannot find a suitable dragon vein and thus cannot perform the dragon-walking ritual.

Noticing the expressions on everyone's faces, the second-generation leader who had asked the question realized that he had asked an extremely stupid question.

Upon returning to Jiuyue Cave, Chen Beiwu noticed that Xu Ziqing's appearance and clothing had changed.

Not only did she wear a more delicate makeup look, but she also changed her clothes from a Taoist robe to a modern-style suspender dress, which outlined her tall and fair figure and revealed her long, slender legs that were as white and smooth as jade.

"Did you win?" Xu Ziqing asked curiously.

To avoid gossip, she did not leave the cave with Chen Beiwu to watch the battle.

"I won't lose."

This simple sentence reveals Chen Beiwu's confidence.

Among the new generation of Yuqing Immortal Sect, the only one he could be wary of was Yu Zhaohua, who possessed an innate Dao physique and firmly held the top spot on the new talent list.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing stepped forward and put her arm around Chen Beiwu's neck. "I'm leaving tomorrow, don't you plan to leave anything behind?" she said, her breath sweet as orchids.

One must not lose one's virginity before establishing one's foundation, otherwise the balance of Yin and Yang will be disrupted, affecting the future attainment of a flawless body.

But that doesn’t mean she can’t use physical intimacy to enhance their relationship.

"In case, I mean just in case."

Chen Beiwu looked down at Xu Ziqing's increasingly dazed eyes and said softly, "If you fail to break through to the Qi Refining Limit next year, you can come to me."

"Looking for you?" Xu Ziqing raised an eyebrow, grasping the large hand that was gently kneading her chest, which was constantly making strange movements. She was somewhat unsure of Chen Beiwu's meaning.

“I have a dual cultivation technique. If you fail to break through, I can help you achieve yin and yang harmony and cultivate the foundation of the Kan-Li Dao,” Chen Beiwu said frankly.

He is not a heartless person.

If Xu Ziqing is determined to follow him, Chen Beiwu is willing to help her go further on the path of cultivation.

Moreover, he will need familiar people around him to witness the moment when he proves himself a True Lord and becomes a Divine Venerable.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like wearing fine clothes in the dark, making it bland and tasteless?

Hearing this, Xu Ziqing's eyes lit up slightly. "Not now?"

"Using dual cultivation techniques to break through the limits of Qi cultivation is ultimately not a perfect solution."

Chen Beiwu smiled and explained, "If you can use the One Yang Limitless Illumination Heart Sutra to build the One Yang Dao Foundation, you will have a better chance of forming the Core in the future."

"Alright, to repay your great kindness, Mr. Chen, please sit down and let me serve you properly."

Xu Ziqing squatted down, casually tied up her cascading black hair, and began to learn a part of the Dragon Tiger Kanli Secret Records.

……

The next morning.

Chen Beiwu stood up, feeling refreshed, and looked at Xu Ziqing, who was sleeping soundly beside him and had a stunningly beautiful face and slightly red lips.

Beauty is misleading.

After obtaining the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique, he diligently cultivated every night, never forgetting to accumulate his Qi.

But last night, he made an exception.

This long-awaited relaxation also calmed Chen Beiwu's mind, and his divine sense subtly increased. However, his Tai Xuan Shou Yi remained at the Lesser Completion stage.

Noticing the gaze, Xu Ziqing frowned, opened her eyes, and asked lazily, "What time is it?"

"nine in the morning."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, Xu Ziqing immediately stood up, ignoring the fact that the sheet on her body had slipped off, revealing her smooth and jade-like body.

She almost missed her train today because of the long wait last night.

The rules of the Nine Refinements Sect are no less numerous than those of the Thirteen Immortal Sects.

If she misses even one day, her annual performance evaluation for this year is very likely to be unsatisfactory.

"Don't worry, there's enough time."

After having a simple breakfast with Xu Ziqing and seeing her off on the train, Chen Beiwu returned to Jiuyue Cave to begin moving.

Qiyunju, a cave dwelling of the Three Sacred Mountains.

Chen Beiwu took out the cave token, and the protective array automatically deactivated. The heavy stone door opened, and an extremely rich thunder-attribute spiritual energy rushed out.

As he entered the cave, the first thing that caught his eye was the 365 lightning-attracting beads embedded in the dome.

These lightning-attracting beads are high-grade second-tier spirit ore, capable of automatically converting the spiritual energy permeating the world into lightning-attribute spiritual energy.

However, compared to the lightning-attracting pearl, what attracted Chen Beiwu's attention the most was the lightning pool in the center of the cave, which was about two zhang in diameter.

The liquid permeating the Thunder Pool was not spiritual water, but rather an incredibly concentrated and pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had completely formed Thunder Mash.

'The spiritual energy gathered here is so pure; it truly deserves to be a fourth-tier cave dwelling that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can enjoy!' Chen Beiwu remarked with some emotion.

He once thought that Tianyuan Star was poor in spiritual energy and lacked spiritual veins, making it unable to support the cultivation of many Immortal Alliance cultivators.

That's why there are laws and regulations of the Immortal Alliance, such as charging for absorbing spiritual energy and detaining and fining those who steal the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But as his position in the hierarchy gradually changed, Chen Beiwu began to understand.

Compared to the Southern Wilderness, the Immortal Alliance does not lack cultivation resources, but rather the vast majority of resources flow to the upper-level cultivation forces and geniuses, leaving almost no spiritual energy of heaven and earth for the lower-level cultivators.

Without qualifications, background, or spirit stones, low-level Qi Refining cultivators never had the opportunity to cross the class line. They could only toil and struggle for a monthly salary of a dozen or so spirit stones until a descendant with excellent qualifications emerged.

'Lightning-attribute spiritual energy is too violent, suitable for tempering the body with the Golden Egg, but not for cultivating the Myriad Laws Returning to Flow Heavenly Book.'

With a thought, Chen Beiwu channeled his magical power into the cave token, adjusting the cave's spiritual energy attribute from lightning to a combination of water and wood.

"Boom!"

As the grand formation activated, the lightning-attracting pearls on the cave's dome dimmed and disappeared, replaced by 365 pieces of Azure Jade.

The Azure Jade, also known as the Twin Spirit-Attracting Jade, has similar effects to the Thunder-Attracting Pool, capable of transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into water and wood elemental energies.

At the same time, the fourth-order spirit-gathering array in the Thunder Pool also began to change, causing the thunder magma in the pool to sink and dry up like the tide, giving rise to a pool of water containing rich vitality of both green and wood elements.

'good! ’

Chen Beiwu nodded, took out the golden egg from the spirit beast bag, placed it in the Azure Wave Cold Pool, and then looked towards the courtyard behind the cave.

The courtyard has both a suitable place for the same beast to cultivate and a small medicinal field.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Beiwu did not take out the precious medicine from the Heavenly Evolution Realm to plant. Instead, after confirming that there were no monitoring formations in the cave, he activated the Ten Directions Gate to teleport to the Southern Wilderness.

……

Southern Wilderness, a land of marshes.

Mountains near Shuishan Town.

'Damn it, I was careless!'

Shu You held her breath, her right hand tightly covering the wound between her ribs.

She hadn't expected that the cultivator who had a grudge against Daozi and harbored rebellious intentions was not a member of the Shen family.

Instead, he was a subordinate of Hua Buqi, an outer sect elder of the sect, which led to all the Punishment Hall cultivators who followed him being assassinated and killed.

"Give up, you can't escape my grasp."

An elderly man dressed in an indigo Taoist robe, with a long beard reaching his chest, stood in front of Shu You, his expression calm.

"If you dare to betray your sect, you will surely die, and even the Chongjin Sect cannot protect you."

After threatening him, Shu You changed the subject, "If you are willing to abandon darkness and surrender, I might be able to put in a good word for you with Daozi and spare your life."

"You still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die." Hua Buqi smiled slightly, completely unconcerned about Shu You's threat.

Being overly cautious and hesitant in doing things is a major taboo.

He doesn't have much time left to live, and there are only two possibilities.

Either you fail to break through to the Golden Core stage and perish, or you succeed in breaking through to the Golden Core stage and live another life, enjoying a lifespan of eight hundred years.

Betraying his sect and joining the Heavy Gold Sect was his only way to survive.

As for the fate of his family, he couldn't care less.
