Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 271 Heavenly Coffin Suppressing Corpses
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Holding the Sky-Waving Cloak, Chen Beiwu solemnly bowed to the Idle Cloud True Lord.

I almost lost the big picture for the small gain.

Chen Beiwu originally planned to use the power of the Nine Breaths Chaos to try to seize the fortune within the Sky-Waving Cloak.

In retrospect, using the Sky-Waving Cloak to evolve Iron Egg's bloodline is undoubtedly the best choice compared to extracting its fortune.

Even for Chen Beiwu, achieving the status of a True God Transformation Venerable is still an unattainable dream.

However, one who does not plan for the whole cannot plan for a part; one who does not plan for eternity cannot plan for the present.

Chen Beiwu believed he possessed a supreme treasure and that he could never stop at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages in his life.

Therefore, by extensively reading the books in the library, one can learn that the Nascent Soul True Lord can break through the barriers of realms and become a Transformation God True Venerable by accumulating the Five Qi to the Origin and the Three Flowers to the Top.

However, for a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance to achieve the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin and the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, they must possess the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude.

Chen Beiwu's current spiritual root purity is 20 for metal, 83 for wood, 89 for water, 23 for fire, and 22 for earth.

Among them, the three elemental roots of metal, fire, and earth are all mixed spiritual roots, which are far from being heavenly spiritual roots.

If Tie Dan can be cultivated into a Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beast, through the Shared Contract, the purity of his Fire Spirit Root should be able to be raised to the level of a Heavenly Spirit Root in the future.

Of course, in Chen Beiwu's plan, successfully contracting the Five Qi Vine was undoubtedly the best option.

The Five Qi Vine can regulate the Five Elements' precious light, helping contracted cultivators condense the Five Elements' Qi and connecting the small Five Elements of the human body with the large Five Elements of heaven and earth.

With the addition of the Five Elders' Taiyi Pill Forging Method, Chen Beiwu was confident that he could elevate the elements of metal, fire, and earth to true spiritual roots during the Golden Core stage, and it was even possible for him to reach the Earth spiritual root.

But everything has its surprises.

If he cannot gain the approval of the Five Qi Vine, Chen Beiwu can also follow the old path of the many True Monarch predecessors of the Immortal Alliance, which is to follow the old path of fire generating earth, earth generating metal, metal generating water, and water generating wood.

During the Nascent Soul stage, five beasts with different elemental attributes are contracted to complete the five elemental spiritual root aptitude.

Therefore, whether from a personal emotional perspective or for the sake of his future path to immortality, Chen Beiwu would not miss the opportunity to transform Tie Dan into a Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast.

"Go away, go away, don't disturb my wine tasting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xianyun Zhenjun tilted his head back and took a swig of wine. His figure gradually became ethereal and disappeared.

"Congratulations."

Upon seeing Chen Beiwu approach, Yu Zhaohua hesitated for a moment before offering her congratulations.

She didn't have a contracted canine companion beast, so missing out on the Sky-Waving Cloak wasn't a big deal for her; she was just curious about Chen Beiwu's spiritual sense and luck.

"It was just luck; this opportunity can't compare to Fairy Jade's Flint Dragon," Chen Beiwu said sincerely.

That flint dragon was a monster among monsters.

Unless there is a suppression from a higher realm, or a Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast of the same level to suppress him, he would have a hard time even seriously injuring the Frost Rock Coiled Dragon, let alone defeating it.

Yu Zhaohua nodded slightly, ending the pleasantries, and returned her gaze to the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu immediately took the teleportation array and left the Jade Purity Palace.

Only after Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared did Yu Zhaohua turn her head and look at the teleportation array, lost in thought.

Putting aside the monsters of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens, Chen Beiwu was the Immortal Alliance cultivator with the strongest aptitude, talent, and comprehension she had ever seen.

The reason is simple: if she hadn't personally fought in the Contending Realm, she wouldn't have dared to imagine that in the era of borrowing beasts to cultivate immortality, there could be a poor cultivator who could possess such formidable combat power with just a rare golden scale.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, she could indeed rely on her innate Dao body and the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast to suppress Chen Beiwu.

However, once Chen Beiwu reaches the Golden Core stage and comprehends the Jade Purity Immortal Technique, using the resources of the Immortal Sect to compensate for the insufficient quality of the bloodline of the beast he co-exists with, she estimates that he will be caught in a fierce battle and may even taste defeat.

“Father is right. The Immortal Alliance is full of geniuses, which is truly astonishing,” Yu Zhaohua murmured.

If she couldn't even overpower Chen Beiwu in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and become the undisputed number one.

How can we lead the disciples of the Immortal Sect to defeat the prodigies of the Cave Heaven in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition and restore the glory of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect?

Thinking of this, Yu Zhaohua looked up at the Devouring Sun and Moon Wheel, her eyes narrowing.

Born into a Daoist immortal clan and possessing an innate Daoist body, it doesn't mean she can enjoy all the family's cultivation resources.

On the contrary, in order to prevent the cultivation of immortal seedlings from becoming useless, apart from some key resources, most of the other cultivation resources need to be fought for by themselves.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have sensed the threat and set her sights on the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's Heavenly Mystic Treasure.

……

Qiyunju, a cave dwelling of the Three Sacred Mountains.

Upon activating the cave's grand formation, Chen Beiwu immediately took out the Sky-Waving Cloak and summoned Iron Egg.

"Wang?"

Looking at the gray cloth in front of him, Tie Dan tilted his head, his eyes showing curiosity.

"How do you feel?" Chen Beiwu asked curiously.

"Wang."

Tie Dan shook his head, indicating that there was nothing there.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu abandoned the test, flicked his wrist, and the gray cloth in his hand flowed like water over Tie Dan's back.

"Buzz!"

The next second, the cloak burst into light, finally revealing a trace of divine power, transforming into a flowing silver cloak that plunged the entire cave into absolute darkness.

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly.

The cave turned dark not because the fluorescent stone had failed, but because all the light was being frantically absorbed by the Sky-Waving Cloak.

"Wang."

Under Chen Beiwu's watchful gaze, Tie Dan inhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his body expanded at a visible speed.

Before long, a giant dog, as big as a horse, six feet tall at the shoulder, and over ten feet long, with a jet-black body and a silver cloak covering its back, came into Chen Beiwu's view, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

However, this situation only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Iron Egg's size quickly shrank and returned to its original size, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.

'How are you feeling now?' Chen Beiwu asked in his mind.

"Wang."

Tie Dan raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

After donning the Sky-Waving Cloak, it felt its dormant bloodline surge like a volcanic eruption.

Fortunately, the intensity of this blood-boiling sensation was actively limited by the Sky-Waving Cloak.

So much so that it could faintly hear the heartbeat within its body like the booming of war drums, and feel the surging transformation of its bloodline, yet its body showed no signs of discomfort.

Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to carefully observe the changes in Tie Dan's three meridians.

[Daoxing]: 415 years.

Upon noticing the change in Tie Dan's cultivation, Chen Beiwu's eyes widened in surprise.

Not long after Tie Dan donned the Sky-Waving Cloak, his cultivation level skyrocketed from 288 years to 415 years.

If he were given a few more days, wouldn't Tie Dan's cultivation level reach the limit of the second realm lesser demon, allowing him to attempt to break through to the third realm demon general?

"Gulu."

The golden egg also sensed the obvious change in the iron egg's energy.

It was confident it could defeat Iron Egg with a single blow before Iron Egg donned the Sky-Waving Cloak.

But after Tie Dan put on the Sky-Waving Cloak, it felt an indescribable aura, as if it were facing an unspeakable and invisible majestic being.

Fortunately, this aura came and went quickly. Golden Egg shook its head, its divine sense probing Iron Egg again, its composure faltering slightly.

The aura that Tie Dan previously exuded was simply the inherent energy of the Sky-Waving Cloak itself, and was nothing special.

But one's cultivation level is a real and genuine achievement that cannot be faked.

Why?
It had consumed many elixirs, and its cultivation, honed over many years alongside Chen Beiwu, was actually surpassed by Tie Dan using only a tattered cloth.

"A temporary lead is nothing. Once Senior Sister Wan'er refines the Transformation Pill, your cultivation will skyrocket to the limit of the Second Realm Lesser Demon after you take it, and you can try to advance to the Third Realm Demon General," Chen Beiwu reassured you with his thoughts.

Hearing this, Jin Dan forced himself to cheer up.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu added, "Don't forget, the sect still hasn't bestowed a drop of fourth-order Chilong essence blood upon us."

"Gulp." The golden egg's eyes lit up, and all the frustration in its heart vanished.

After calming Jin Dan down, Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief and probed the depths of Tie Dan's cultivation lineage with his divine sense.

Compared to cultivation level, he was more concerned about the changes in Tie Dan's innate spiritual arts.

Unfortunately, perhaps because he hadn't worn the Sky-Waving Cloak for long enough, Tie Dan failed to awaken his new innate spiritual arts.

……

In the southern wilderness, there is the Biyuan Market.

The stars shift and the palace is divided.

After the array masters of the Array Hall have been rebuilding for some time, the sect's teleportation array has been completed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Chen Beiwu knocked on the Golden Elixir Cave.

"Come in."

The moment the sound rang out, the cave's grand formation vanished.

Chen Beiwu pushed open the door and walked in, where he saw Elder Yu, who had a calm expression.

"What business does Daozi have with me?"

Yu Shuiyao put down her spirit brush and looked at Chen Beiwu.

"Uncle Yu, do you know about the Dragon Vein Spirit Lake near Shuishan Town?" Chen Beiwu asked.

Yu Shuiyao nodded slightly: "Junior Nephew Yun told me that there is a Golden Core evil cultivator who has set up a third-level corpse refining treasure array at that spiritual lake, most likely wanting to borrow a corpse to be reborn and live another life."

"I would like to ask my martial uncle to take action and wipe out the evil forces within the Mountain Annihilation Realm," Chen Beiwu said, getting straight to the point.

To prevent any mishaps, he specifically consulted a large amount of information and learned that the Qian family, who had been refining weapons for generations, originated from the Hengyan Mountains.

Two of their ancestors were Golden Core cultivators, and at their peak, they controlled three spirit mines for the Mirror Moon Sect, making them a renowned Golden Core family in the Hengyan Mountains.

If Chen Beiwu's guess is correct, the Golden Core cultivator buried under the Corpse Refining Evil Array in Spirit Lake is none other than Qian Buhuan, the last Golden Core ancestor of the Qian family who appeared out of nowhere 1,800 years ago.

Legend has it that Qian Buhuan is both a third-tier weapon refiner and a third-tier Golden Core cultivator. Wielding the magic weapon Mountain-Splitting Blade, he can split mountains and cleave peaks. He escaped unscathed from the hands of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, thus gaining great fame and becoming a powerful figure in the region, earning him the Daoist title of Mountain-Splitting True Man.

However, perhaps Qian Buhuan's act of defying the heavens by using the dragon vein to refine himself into a corpse damaged the dragon vein's fortune, leading to a backlash from heaven and earth.

The Qian family of Tiangong is no longer a Golden Core family, but has gradually declined into a Foundation Establishment family, and finally met its demise.

That is precisely why, faced with such a ferocious Golden Core evil cultivator who could disregard the survival of his clan, Chen Beiwu would not foolishly try to fight him to the death on his own.

Even if he possessed the fourth-tier Jade Purity Demon Subduing Talisman, capable of eradicating the Golden Core evil corpse, he feared falling into the trap set by a third-tier array master's formation, leaving him no chance to release the talisman to suppress everything.

Moreover, times have changed.

With powerful figures from the sects taking action, Chen Beiwu, as a provider of information about evil cultivators and with his status as a Dao Child, could gain some benefits, so there was no need to risk his life to fight.

“What do you mean by eradicating evil?” Yu Shuiyao shook her head and looked directly at Chen Beiwu: “I think Daozi is after the legacy of a Golden Core cultivator.”

"This disciple's little thoughts cannot be hidden from you, Uncle-Master," Chen Beiwu readily admitted.

Compared to coveting the Dragon Vein Lake, the excuse of coveting the legacy of a Golden Core cultivator was obviously easier for Elder Yu to accept.

"In this great battle between the two sects, our sect suffered a lot of losses in silence."

At this point, Yu Shuiyao paused slightly: "According to the sect's instructions, I need to lead the array hall cultivators to cooperate with Senior Brother Zhu to set up an array to intercept and kill the Golden Core True Person of the Heavy Gold Sect, to retaliate in kind."

"Compared to the prestige of a sect, the legacy of a Golden Core heretical cultivator is really not worth mentioning."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Shuiyao waved her sleeve, and a jade slip floated in front of Chen Beiwu.

"What is this?" Chen Beiwu asked in confusion.

"The method to break the evil formation of corpse refining in the Spirit Lake".

Yu Shuiyao smiled calmly: "The Purple Enclosure Seven Fiends Corpse Refining Array is also known as the Heavenly Coffin Corpse Suppression Three Tribulations Formation."

This formation is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. It requires drawing upon the seven malevolent energies and overcoming three tribulations: corpse transformation, yin erosion, and golden malice, before one can forge a golden-armored corpse that is impervious to magical treasures and indestructible by metal.

'Golden Armor Corpse!'

Upon hearing this name, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly.

Fortunately, he was cautious by nature and did not go on the adventure alone.

According to the "Three Records of Corpse Scripture", the Golden Armor Corpse is powerful and has formed the Yin Sha Corpse Core. Its combat strength is equivalent to that of a human cultivator in the mid-stage to peak of the Golden Core realm. The Yin Sha Corpse Fire it spews can pollute the spiritual essence of a Golden Core cultivator's body.

However, what made Chen Beiwu even more wary was that the Golden Armor Corpse had unparalleled defense; it could not be harmed by magical treasures, nor burned by thunder and fire.

Only Golden Core cultivators who practice the Pure Yang True Method or the Northern Dipper Extermination Evil Righteous Method can kill it.

If the defenses cannot be broken, the Golden Armor Corpse can simply fight to the death and wear down a Golden Core cultivator of the same realm.

"Taoist, please take a look."

Seeing Chen Beiwu's expression, Yu Shuiyao lightly tapped her fingertip and used her magic power to condense the prototype of the Heavenly Coffin Suppressing Corpse Tribulation Formation.

"The Golden Armor Corpse is difficult to create; it requires the right timing and location."

"Based on my speculation, the Golden Core corpses in the Spirit Lake Corpse Refining Ground have at most survived the two tribulations of Corpse Transformation and Yin Erosion, but have not yet survived the Golden Fiend Tribulation, so they cannot be called true Golden Armor Corpses."

"But Junior Nephew Zhu Qiong cultivates the Pure Yang Furnace Core Formation Method, which makes him a natural nemesis of this type of evil corpse."

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, understanding Elder Yu's underlying meaning.

She didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with a golden-armored corpse that hadn't yet fully formed; Zhu Qiong could handle it with the jade slip that broke the formation.

……

Two days later, at the mysterious spirit lake, on the central island.

"Is this the entrance to the tomb of the Mountain-Opening Immortal?"

Zhu Qiong looked at the snake pit, which was about two zhang high and shaped like an inverted triangle, with a strange look in her eyes.

In the Southern Wilderness cultivation world, where family blood ties are highly valued, Qian Yuan's actions in venting his anger were enough to make all cultivators feel that he was "filial piety in awe".

It's no wonder that the Qian family of Tiangong ultimately met a tragic end, with their entire clan wiped out.

"Yes."

Yun Yishu glanced at the compass needle and nodded slightly: "The core of this dragon vein is deep within the snake cave. The seven stone tablets nearby are just array flags responsible for drawing upon the power of the stars in the heavens."

After speaking, both women turned their gazes to Chen Beiwu.

“Going directly into the tomb is too dangerous. Let’s start by breaking through the outer array first,” Chen Beiwu said cautiously.

The deepest part of the tomb is the domain of the golden-armored corpse.

Rather than risk falling into the trap, it's better to break the Heavenly Coffin Suppressing Corpse Tribulation Formation and force the opponent to show themselves.
