Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 269 Heavenly Treasure
The second level of Yuqing Palace.

The 365 mysterious pearls are arranged according to the Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology) system, using the power of the stars in the heavens to condense wisps of tangible spiritual mist.

These spiritual mists permeated the palace, transforming into a layer of silvery-white radiance that nurtured countless magical treasures.

Unlike the first level of the Jade Purity Palace, there are no stars to restrain it here, and countless magical treasures and meteors dart about everywhere.

Occasionally, two or three shooting stars would curiously linger in front of Chen Beiwu, revealing the true form of the magical artifact.

'The spirituality contained within these magical artifacts is no different from that of a three-year-old child.'

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes brightened slightly, and he reached out to touch the third-tier magic weapon that was standing in front of him.

"Buzz!"

Chen Beiwu was fine until he made a move. As soon as he did, these magical treasures seemed to be frightened and ran away faster than anything else.

Only one cauldron-shaped magical artifact remained suspended in place, whether it was too slow to move or too curious to stay still and examine it closely.

'interesting. '

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and carefully examined the cauldron-like magical artifact.

Its entire body is fiery red, with nine fire dragons carved in relief on the body of the tripod. The tripod legs are three-legged red crows stepping on the sun, constantly emitting dazzling light. Its appearance is quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, this third-tier magic weapon was clearly a furnace for fire-attribute alchemists, not the kind of weapon he wanted for killing.

As Chen Beiwu pondered, a clear shout suddenly rang out.

"Junior, please stop."

Chen Beiwu paused, looking towards the source of the sound.

The newcomer was dressed in a long blue robe with cinnabar patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem. A pale gold medicine gourd hung from his waist, and a toad-shaped treasure beast sat on his shoulder, landing three zhang away from him.

“Junior brother, I have long coveted this Nine Dragons Three-Legged Cauldron and have been nurturing and observing it for more than half a year,” Jiang Yan said politely.

Everything has a first-come, first-served principle.

He couldn't just stand by and watch his prized treasure be taken away by someone else.

If an ordinary Golden Core cultivator dared to do this, Jiang Yan would not hesitate to fight.

However, the other party was an unfamiliar face, only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and was most likely a junior student of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect. Yet, he was able to enter the Jade Purity Treasure Palace by exception, so he must have an extraordinary background. Perhaps he was a sect student who did not know the rules.

"If you don't believe me, junior, you can take a look at the markings on the cauldron," Jiang Yan reminded him.

When a cultivator refines a magical artifact and gains the artifact's approval, a portion of their magical energy will remain on the artifact.

Chen Beiwu glanced at the Nine Dragons Three-Legged Cauldron, confirming that the visitor's words were true, and took a step back to indicate that he had no intention of forcibly taking the magic weapon.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, gave a brief self-introduction, and then asked the other party's name.

'Chen Beiwu?'

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Yan's smile became even more genuine.

Although he had been in seclusion for some time, trying to subdue the Nine Dragons Three-Legged Cauldron, he was aware of the great reputation of the Jade Freshmen from last year.

Not only did three flawless Foundation Establishers appear, but also a Yu Zhaohua with an innate Dao body emerged.

Some students even believe that last year's class was the most monstrous class in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect in a hundred years, and Chen Beiwu was one of the flawless Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Has Junior Chen ever fought against Yu Zhaohua?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

"We only clashed once within the territory of the Contending Front, and I was no match for him." Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Senior Jiang, could it be that you also fought against Yu Zhaohua? What was the result?"

"Ahem." Jiang Yan coughed twice, changing the subject, "Junior, what type of magic weapon are you planning to choose? I can give you some advice."

Being a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage but being defeated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the peak stage is undoubtedly a dark history that cannot be darker.

Chen Beiwu dared to ask, but Jiang Yan didn't dare to answer shamelessly and could only awkwardly change the subject.

"It has a restraining effect on evil spirits and corpses, and is a mid-to-high-grade third-tier killing magic weapon suitable for cultivators with water and wood spiritual roots."

"A bow-type magic weapon would be best, but if that's not possible, other types of magic weapons such as flying swords, fans, and needles will also work," Chen Beiwu said.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, somewhat surprised by Chen Beiwu's request.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, higher grade magic treasures are not necessarily better.

The higher the grade of the magic weapon, the more magic power is consumed to fully activate it.

Even if an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator exhausts all the power in their dantian and sea of ​​qi, they cannot make a third-grade high-quality magic weapon display much power. Instead, it will harm themselves during the battle.

Logically speaking, since Chen Beiwu has not yet formed his core, the most suitable weapon for him should be a low-grade third-tier magic weapon.

If you're looking for a promising future, you can be a little greedy and choose a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon.

As for third-tier high-grade magic treasures, unless they are perfectly suited, even early-stage Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to fully unleash their power.

Otherwise, Jiang Yan wouldn't have chosen the Nine Dragons Three-Legged Cauldron instead of the top-grade third-tier magic treasures on the third floor of the Jade Purity Palace.

"There aren't many magical treasures in the Jade Purity Palace that can satisfy your request, junior."

Jiang Yan flicked his fingertip, using Earthly Fiend True Qi to condense a phantom image of the Jade Pure Palace in the air, revealing the coordinates of various magical treasures.

"Deep within the fourth level of the Jade Purity Palace lies a [Yi Wood Corpse-Slaying Sword]."

This sword contains the divine thunder of the Yi Wood element and is tempered with the true water of Xuan Yin, making it specifically designed to destroy the evil spirits of corpses.

The downside is that the spirit is arrogant and difficult to gain recognition from anyone who hasn't comprehended the third realm of swordsmanship and forged a sword heart.

"In the center of the seven-story Jade Purity Palace, there is a [Demon-Slaying Thorn]."

This treasure is crafted from pure Yang energy crystal, woven with Weak Water silkworm silk, and imbued with Soul-Suppressing Wood. It reverses Yin and Yang, specifically targeting and killing evil spirits and corpses, and is remarkably effective against demonic cultivators.

"The nine-story main hall of the Jade Purity Palace..."

Jiang Yan introduced nine water and wood dual-attribute magic treasures to Chen Beiwu in one go, three of which were third-tier high-grade magic treasures and six were third-tier mid-grade magic treasures.

Chen Beiwu nodded, thanked Jiang Yan for the information, and then headed straight for the fifth-floor teleportation array of the Jade Purity Palace.

The requirements for the Yimu Corpse-Slaying Sword are too high, which he cannot meet, but the Demon-Slaying Thorn is a good choice.

"Buzz!"

Watching Chen Beiwu's figure disappear into the distance, Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

As a top-grade third-tier magic weapon, the Demon-Slaying Thorn is no less difficult to tame than the Wood-Slaying Corpse-Cutting Sword.

Chen Beiwu would rather use his time to enhance the bloodline of his fellow beasts than to spend it taming magical artifacts.

After all, magical artifacts are just external objects.

"Right, frog?"

Jiang Yan looked at the toad-shaped treasure beast on his shoulder.

"Cuck!"

……

The seventh floor of Yuqing Palace.

To Chen Beiwu's surprise, as soon as he stepped into the pavilion, a dozen pairs of eyes swept over him.

These gazes contained scrutiny, amusement, and disdain, but most of all, they were undisguised curiosity.

'Ha, another arrogant fool.'

A young man in purple robes lingered his gaze on Chen Beiwu for a moment before turning away with a sneer.

Although he was born into the Dao Venerable Immortal Clan and had a narrow-minded personality, looking down on cultivators who lacked self-awareness, he would not lower himself to mock others and needlessly reduce his status.

Ignoring the gazes of the Golden Core cultivators around him, Chen Beiwu quickly walked to the center of the pavilion based on the information given by Jiang Yan.

A seven-inch-long, prismatic spike hovered in mid-air, gleaming with a chilling light. Its tip was a three-sided blood groove, engraved with the Soul-Suppressing Weapon Pattern that reversed Yin and Yang, resembling flowing lava, faintly radiating a violent pure Yang aura.

The handle is wrapped with dark blue Weak Water Silk, which, with the help of the Soul-Suppressing Weak Water Pattern, transforms the pure Yang energy contained within the Gang Crystal into Weak Water Cold Flame, which is specifically designed to destroy the Yin Souls of Corpses.

"Buzz!"

But the next second, under Chen Beiwu's gaze, the prismatic spike fell into the hands of a beautiful and slender female cultivator.

Without a doubt, he arrived too late; the Demon-Slaying Thorn had already recognized its master.

"What's up?"

Ye Xinya turned around and smiled lightly, looking at Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted as he recognized the former's identity and shook his head slightly.

The Rising Star Ranking is a special list set up by the Jade Purity Immortal Sect for new students. The ranking on the list represents the potential, aptitude, and combat strength of the new students.

However, the Jade Void Ranking is different. The cultivators who can make it onto the list are all outstanding graduates of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, and are among the top Golden Core cultivators.

Ye Xinya's ranking of seventy-ninth on the Jade Void Ranking undoubtedly makes her a prodigy among prodigies.

Following Chen Beiwu's gaze, Ye Xinya glanced at the Demon-Slaying Thorn in her palm, then calmly got up and left.

There's plenty of time in the future; it wouldn't be good for her to take the initiative to approach Chen Beiwu now.

"call."

Watching Ye Xinya's slender figure disappear into the distance, Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air.

To be honest, he was having a really bad day. The magical artifacts he wanted to subdue either resisted or had already recognized their masters.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu deliberately sank his mind into the Nine Breaths Chaos, and after confirming that there was no trace of gray mold or scarlet evil energy wandering in the chaotic world, he opened his eyes.

"Gulu."

Jin Dan tilted his head and rubbed his cheek against Chen Beiwu's head in a comforting gesture.

'It's just a magic weapon; if it doesn't work, we'll move on to the next one.'

Chen Beiwu turned to look at the teleportation array on the ninth floor of the Jade Purity Palace, deciding to change his target.

Go and subdue the last top-grade third-tier magic weapon recommended by Jiang Yan, and also see the legendary Tongtian Xuanbao.

……

The ninth level of Yuqing Palace.

After the teleportation ended, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was not the Tongtian Xuanbao, but a familiar person with snow-white skin, delicate features, and a cold expression.

'How could I run into this?' Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all.

Cultivators who achieve three consecutive victories in the Contender Realm can receive a customized Tier 3 magic weapon as a reward.

With Yu Zhaohua's strength, winning five consecutive victories and obtaining the Breaking Calamity Golden Pill would be a piece of cake, so appearing at the Jade Purity Palace is nothing special.

"You're here to subdue the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel too?"

Upon seeing Chen Beiwu, Yu Zhaohua parted her lips slightly, her expression puzzled.

Chen Beiwu: “???”

What is this thing? What kind of magical artifact is the Heaven-Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel that Yu Zhaohua values ​​so much?
Noticing the fleeting doubt in Chen Beiwu's eyes, Yu Zhaohua regained her composure: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Indeed, the Heaven-Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel is a fire-attribute Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasure, and it is virtually impossible for Chen Beiwu, a cultivator with water and wood spiritual roots, to gain its approval.

Yu Zhaohua turned around, her gaze fixed on the dome of the Jade Purity Palace, a hesitant look on her face.

The spirit of the Tongtian Xuanbao artifact is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator; it knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm and has an arrogant personality.

Although she possesses an innate Dao body, it is still difficult for her to gain the recognition of the spirit of the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense and followed Yu Zhaohua's gaze.

"Buzz!"

The endless light and heat instantly evaporated all of Chen Beiwu's divine consciousness, causing his face to turn slightly pale. He subconsciously severed the connection of his divine consciousness and closed his eyes.

But the scene he had just witnessed still lingered in his mind:
Above the dome was a terrifying magical artifact, as blazing as a golden crow, manifesting as the great sun.

Its shape resembles two intersecting red gold rings, with a width of three inches.

The inner ring was filled with the surging Taiyin True Fire, which froze the space and eroded the primordial spirit.

The outer ring is filled with the true fire of the sun, radiating the power to burn mountains and boil seas.

The two combined into one, spontaneously distorting the space within a three-zhang radius, reflecting the strange phenomenon of "the celestial dog eating the sun," which had a certain imposing power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Chen Beiwu's divine sense was completely devoured when it came within three zhang of this magic weapon, and he even almost damaged his own Purple Mansion Spirit Platform.

"Be careful, don't use your divine sense again. Although the Devouring Heaven Sun and Moon Wheel is a replica of the Dao artifact [Primordial Sun and Moon Diagram], and its power is less than one ten-millionth of the original, it is still a supreme treasure that surpasses all others in the world," Yu Zhaohua warned.

Chen Beiwu: “…”

Waiting until he finishes activating his divine sense before reminding him is like taking off your pants to fart.
Noticing Chen Beiwu's strange gaze, Yu Zhaohua pursed her lips and explained:

"The Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel will actively devour the divine sense of cultivators for selection. When it encounters a suitable host, it will dissipate the true fire of the sun and the true fire of the moon, and gather all its power to resonate and recognize the master."

"But the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel also has a temper and will not accept a second attempt."

After a failure, if a cultivator fails to resonate with the divine sense and tries to activate it again, they will receive a warning from the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel; at best, they will be injured, and at worst, they will fall from their cultivation level.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes revealed a look of understanding.

So that's how it is. No wonder Yu Zhaohua didn't say anything at first; he wanted to test his compatibility with the Tongtian Xuanbao.

"So, is this a success or a failure?" Chen Beiwu asked humbly.

"It should be a failure," Yu Zhaohua said uncertainly.

She had tried it before, and the result was the same as Chen Beiwu's: the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel remained shining brightly.

If she could gain the approval of the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel, this Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasure wouldn't have remained suspended above the Treasure Palace Dome, refusing to come down.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu immediately lost interest.

The Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel may be powerful, but if it cannot be used by him, even the most powerful Heavenly Mystic Treasure is meaningless; at most, it can only broaden his horizons.

With this in mind, Chen Beiwu took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on the main hall of the pavilion, searching for the third-tier high-grade magic weapon Jiang Yan had mentioned, the [Five-Thorn Sea-Splitting Halberd].

Yu Zhaohua, however, remained standing in place, continuing to ponder how to subdue the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel, ignoring Chen Beiwu, who was strolling around the main hall.

'no. '

'That won't work either.'

'Why doesn't any of it work!'

Chen Beiwu put down the Five-Spined Sea-Splitting Halberd in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

These Golden Core magic treasures and Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasures are very realistic. Judging from his cultivation level of only the peak of Foundation Establishment, all his answers were rejections.

'Does this mean I can only choose low-grade, third-tier magic weapons that lack any spiritual essence?'

Chen Beiwu frowned, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a wisp of crimson auspicious light flashing in the side hall.

This wisp of crimson auspicious light was almost indistinguishable from the dazzling array of treasures around it, but it could not escape Chen Beiwu's Nine Breaths Absorption Divine Power perception.

'Even magical artifacts possess a kind of destiny!'

Chen Beiwu was slightly shaken. He quickly walked towards the location of the crimson auspicious symbol, grabbed a piece of grayish rag, and examined it carefully.

The rag felt rough to the touch and had no spiritual energy. It was completely out of place with the many magical treasures in the Jade Purity Palace. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a rag that the cleaning staff had accidentally left behind.
