Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 281: The Journey Begins

The clouds dispersed and the thunder ceased.

The golden egg soared through the clouds, stretching its body to its heart's content, and spat out an inner core.

This inner elixir appears light, but it is actually as heavy as Mount Tai, with three red patterns on its surface that seem to move like living things.

With each rotation, immortal golden energy gathers, radiating an indescribable dragon-like power.

"Buzz!"

After trying for a while, the golden egg found that the quality of the inner core had not changed. It had no choice but to accept reality, opened its mouth, and retracted the inner core.

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu smiled speechlessly.

After advancing to the third realm of demon general, Jin Dan Zheng Rong's horns transformed into a gilded unicorn horn about three feet long.

The tip of the horn gathers a point of immortal golden energy, giving people a sense that nothing is indestructible.

The color of his vertical pupils changed from gold to dark gold, and his slender body grew from four zhang to seven zhang.

Its scales are inlaid with a gold thread that flickers with its breath, making it look exceptionally majestic and imposing.

It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from not having grown dragon claws and mane, the golden egg's appearance at this moment is almost identical to that of the golden-horned dragon recorded in ancient books.

"Om."

Just then, the Covenant of Mutual Aid gave feedback, and Chen Beiwu's expression changed slightly. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to refine the endless and powerful magic power in his dantian.

The Three Realms Demon Generals and Foundation Establishment cultivators are beings of two different dimensions.

If Chen Beiwu hadn't cultivated Taiyi True Qi, making him comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, he probably wouldn't have been able to suppress the immense magical power emanating from the Co-existing Contract and would have already begun forming his core.

Five strands... seven strands... nine strands... eleven strands... thirteen strands!

As the amount of Taiyi True Qi gradually increased, the aura emanating from Chen Beiwu's body became stronger and stronger. Even his physical body, which had been forged into the Hundred Rivers Dharma Body, was gradually transforming towards the third stage under the nourishment of the True Qi.

"The Golden Elixir is not what I desire; only the Primordial Beginning is the true path."

Chen Beiwu shook his head, opened his eyes, compressed the magical power in his dantian, and thoroughly consolidated his realm. The aura that had erupted from his body also returned to calm at this moment.

"Master...Master..."

Golden Egg's gaze fell on Chen Beiwu, its throat trembling as it uttered a clear, crisp voice: "Human!"

Perhaps because it was her first time speaking and she wasn't used to it, Jin Dan stumbled a bit at first, but gradually became more fluent later on.

Call me Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu reached out and patted the golden egg's head, not at all surprised.

When a cultivator's contracted beast reaches a certain level of cultivation, it can refine its transverse bones and speak human language.

Some exceptionally gifted beasts can even speak human language during their spirit or monster stage.

The golden egg is a fish-dragon beast, and it is quite difficult for it to speak human language. Generally, it can only be done by advancing to the third realm of demon general.

"Beibu. Beibu Beibu!"

Jin Dan, like a child, kept calling out Chen Beiwu's name with great excitement.

"Hehe, when are we going to cross the dragon?"

After making a fuss for a while, Golden Egg finally remembered its business.

"No rush, let me see the changes after you advance to the third realm demon general."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to probe the three meridians of the golden egg.

Upon hearing this, Golden Egg raised its head and glanced triumphantly at Iron Egg, who was lying on the ground.

For Jin Dan, breaking through to the third realm of demon general and suppressing the sycophantic aura around Chen Beiwu was undoubtedly a very gratifying thing.

Tie Dan let out a low growl to express his congratulations.

It didn't think as much as the golden egg did; it was simply happy for its companion's breakthrough in cultivation.

Upon hearing Tie Dan's congratulations, Jin Dan looked up in surprise, then fell silent, his smugness gone.

“Very good.” Chen Beiwu’s eyes brightened slightly.

As the saying goes, the essence of the five elements is immortal, and the innate qi is mysterious.

As the golden egg advanced to the third realm of demon general and attained the immortal golden nature, although the profound-grade primordial vein in its body did not transform into a heavenly-grade profound vein, the Daoist essence contained within it was greatly enhanced, providing it with a little more purity of innate spiritual root.

Don't underestimate this boost to the purity of your spiritual roots.

The difference between a Tianshui spiritual root with a purity of 89 and a spiritual root with a purity of 90 is enormous, and it can almost increase Chen Beiwu's efficiency in refining spiritual energy by another 10%.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu's mind stirred, and he looked at the golden egg's vein.

"Gold 91, Wood 85, Water 95, Fire 18, Earth 79."

Chen Beiwu nodded in satisfaction.

The improvement of spiritual root purity depends on the base amount.

For Jin Dan, the increase in the purity of one point of metal spiritual root, one point of water spiritual root, and two points of wood spiritual root is not small, and can even be described as excellent.

If the Golden Egg can maintain this level of progress, and advance to the fourth realm of Demon King in the future, it is unknown whether the purity of its water spiritual root can reach 99%, which is the limit of the heavenly spiritual root. The next step would be the legendary immortal spiritual root.

Chen Beiwu shook his head, feeling it was a bit unrealistic.

A purity of 99% in the elemental root is a realm that only Creation Beasts can enter, and even Heavenly Dipper Beasts may not be able to reach it, let alone the Golden Egg, which has not yet become a dragon.

"call."

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Chen Beiwu looked at the Golden Egg Dharma Lineage.

[Cultivation Level: 590 years]

According to the standards of the Immortal Alliance, a small realm of Golden Core in the Immortal Alliance is equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation for a Demon General of the Third Realm.

Generally speaking, a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm is equivalent to a demon general of the third realm with 500 to 599 years of cultivation.

By analogy, the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm is equivalent to a demon general with 600 to 699 years of cultivation.

Late stage of Golden Core (700-799 years), Peak stage of Golden Core (800-899 years)
The Golden Elixir is perfected, and the embryonic form of the Yang Spirit is formed (900-999 years).
This means that the Golden Egg has a profound foundation, and the newly promoted demon generals possess strength comparable to the peak of the early Golden Core stage.

Of course, realm is one thing, but it doesn't represent actual combat strength.

Golden Core cultivators rarely fight across borders in the Southern Wilderness, but the Immortal Alliance is different.

The Golden Core is divided into nine grades. The higher the grade of the Golden Core formed by a Golden Core True Person, the more immortal golden nature it condenses, and the stronger the power of heaven and earth that the Dharma Body can leverage.

Those who reach the first rank of Golden Core can easily fight beyond their current level.

According to Chen Beiwu's speculation, the inner core condensed in the golden egg is of grade three, and coupled with its profound cultivation, it should not be a problem to fight against a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator in the Southern Wilderness.

In this way, the chances of the golden egg successfully navigating the dragon in Jianlong Lake will be greatly increased.

Upon realizing this, Chen Beiwu's divine sense stirred slightly, and through the connection of the Shared Consort Contract, he probed into the depths of the Golden Egg Dharma Lineage.

The defining characteristic of a Golden Elixir True Person is: Earthly Fiend True Qi, which is immortal magical power and immortal Dharma body.

The defining characteristics of the Three Realms Demon Generals are: Immortal Demon Qi and Bloodline Inner Core.

Of course, this is because the beasts contracted by the Immortal Alliance cultivators have already purified themselves and are now practicing the same cultivation techniques.

Therefore, to be precise, the immortal demonic energy within the golden egg can also be called immortal magical power.

But what truly concerned Chen Beiwu was the innate profound power awakened by the Golden Egg's bloodline inner core triggering the Dharma lineage.

It should be noted that every beast that breaks through to the third realm of demon general can open the gate of mystery with the help of its inner core, activate the Dao rhythm of its bloodline, condense innate Dao patterns deep within the inner core, and undergo a qualitative change in its own innate treasure techniques, thus displaying its full power.

As Chen Beiwu had predicted, both of the Golden Egg's innate magical techniques underwent significant changes.

【Gilded Body】: A third-tier supreme treasure technique, where metal and water complement each other, with an outer softness and inner strength. It can integrate the softest water into an indestructible body, using the virtue of water to temper metal and dissolve treasure techniques.

【All Rivers Run into the Sea】: A third-tier supreme treasure technique that uses all rivers as a furnace to refine heaven and earth into an elixir, seizing the golden nature of creation to nourish itself. Combined with the gilded body treasure technique, it achieves yin-yang harmony and can evolve into the Great Dao of the Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beast. The Great Dao is simple.

The descriptions of the gilded calligraphy and the phrase "embracing all rivers" are significantly more concise than before.

However, Chen Beiwu could comprehend the power of these two innate treasure techniques through the connection with the Covenant.

The last sentence, in particular, which mentioned the Great Dao of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast, surprised Chen Beiwu.

……

At the same time, the thunderclouds above the Three Peaks Cave dissipated, and an eerie silence descended.

The immortal students living near the Sanyue Cave and the senior students Zong Jiu and Zong Shi could not hide their shock.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

Chen Beiwu had only been in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect for three years when he completely surpassed his senior classmates.

"Incredible! First, he had no time to establish his foundation, and then at the age of twenty-two, he nurtured a demon general of the third realm."

"This rising star, with his monstrous talent and comprehension, is second only to the innate Dao physique. He is destined for greatness; it would not be an exaggeration to say that he has the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator," a student remarked.

People are more mad than people.

It must be admitted that compared to Chen Beiwu's progress in cultivation, his years of hard work seem like a joke.

"Strange, why didn't Chen Beiwu take this opportunity to form his core?" Shen Yuanbao's eyes flickered slightly, somewhat surprised.

After his defeat, he launched a battle for the cave dwelling from the second-level immortal cultivators, successfully seizing the Three Peaks Cave Dwelling and becoming neighbors with Chen Beiwu.

Everything that happened around the Three Peaks Cave naturally did not escape Shen Yuanbao's perception.

'Could it be that Chen Beiwu's goal is not just a First-Grade Golden Core, but a Titled Golden Core?'

Shen Yuanbao frowned slightly, surprised by Chen Beiwu's ambition.

Those who are too busy to build their foundation, by absorbing the essence of top-grade earthly evil, will surely achieve a first-grade golden elixir.

Chen Beiwu has a profound foundation. With the help of the breakthrough momentum of the Tongcan Beast, even without taking the Breaking Calamity Golden Pill, the probability of successfully forming the Golden Core is as high as 70%.

Honestly, if he were Chen Beiwu, Shen Yuanbao would not hesitate to undergo Core Formation.

After all, in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, those who can forge a first-grade Golden Core are already top-tier beings.

Shen Yuanbao couldn't think of any other possibility that Chen Beiwu would give up such an opportunity, except that his goal was clear: to achieve the title of Golden Core.

'Lost again!'

Shen Yuanbao pursed his lips, his smile somewhat bitter.

Achieving the title of Golden Core is extremely difficult, far beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses of the Immortal Alliance.

Let alone the Three Immortal Sects, even including the Five Great Grotto-Heavens, the number of immortal cultivators who have been able to form a Golden Core with a title in the last thousand years is extremely limited.

Yu Zhaohua possesses an innate Dao physique, making him arguably the most talented and gifted genius in the Yuqing Immortal Sect over the past few centuries.

Even so, Yu Zhaohua may not be able to successfully comprehend the immortal techniques and form a Golden Core of the Venerable Title.

Therefore, even though Shen Yuanbao was a flawless Foundation Establishment prodigy, he had no ambition to break through the mysteries of immortal techniques and forge a Golden Core of honor.

……

Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Admissions Department.

"good."

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun chuckled and took a sip of tea, looking quite satisfied.

Even Shen Yuanbao could figure this out, so how could Jiang Chuan, as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, not know Chen's ambitions?

'No wonder Master ordered me to deliver the Dragon Vein Pill and the marrow and blood of the Four Realms Demon Kings; it turns out he values ​​Junior Brother's spirit.' A trace of nostalgia flashed in Jiang Chuan Zhenjun's eyes.

To his shame, he didn't have the same ambitions as his junior brother Chen back then.

He was able to become a disciple of his master and attain the position of Nascent Soul True Monarch, thanks to his family's connections and his own talent and hard work.

Sitting opposite Jiang Chuanzhenjun, the Dean of Academic Affairs, He Zhengyu, smiled and said with interest:
"The student surpasses the teacher; today's young people are truly remarkable."

The generation of Jiang Chuan Zhenjun was the weakest. Those who forged a second-grade Golden Core had the opportunity to become the leader of the younger generation and the chief of the Yuqing Immortal Sect.

However, in this fierce competition, even those who have forged a first-grade Golden Core may not be able to overpower the crowd, subdue those with innate Dao bodies, and become the chief of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"Xiao Chuan, do you think Chen Beiwu should form his core first, or Yu Zhaohua?" Dean He Zhengyu looked at Jiang Chuan with deep eyes.

"Why ask a question you already know the answer to, Uncle He?" True Monarch Jiang Chuan shook his head: "With the help of the Dao Venerable, if Yu Zhaohua wanted to form her core, she would probably have already succeeded."

At this point, True Monarch Jiang Chuan paused slightly: "As for the title of Golden Core, I have higher hopes for Junior Brother Chen."

"Huh? Why?" He Zhengyu asked, somewhat surprised.

"It cannot be said." Jiang Chuan Zhenjun smiled and looked up at the blue sky.

Even a celestial technique like the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique can be simplified; Junior Brother Chen's comprehension is astonishingly high. Otherwise, Master wouldn't have made such a significant investment.

He simply saw no need to bring it up.

……

Qiyunju, a cave dwelling of the Three Sacred Mountains.

After a day of familiarization and consolidation, Jin Dan finally fully mastered the power of the Three Realms Demon General and looked at Chen Beiwu.

"almost."

Chen Beiwu nodded, put away the golden egg and the iron egg in his spirit beast bag, activated the Ten Directions Gate, and disappeared into the cave.

With the seclusion token hanging at the entrance of his cave as a reminder, no one would forcibly disturb him even if he missed a class or two.

Yunlongze, Jianlong Lake, Chen Beiwu's figure quietly appeared.

He summoned the two golden and iron eggs, and his mind sank into the chaotic world.

After two years of accumulating supernatural powers, the orange-colored fortune within the chaotic world increased by one level, reaching a total of three levels.

"Om."

With a thought, Chen Beiwu activated the seventh breath of the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Technique to nourish the Heavenly Fortune, merging the three orange fortunes into one and giving birth to a golden fortune.

'I hope this dragon-crossing expedition goes smoothly.'

After making a wish, Chen Beiwu pointed his finger at the Golden Bell of Fortune.

"Boom!"

As the resounding bell tolled, the golden spirit fish inside the bell vanished into specks of light, creating an elusive and wondrous encounter.

After doing all this, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and nodded at the golden egg.

There are three main evolution methods for the Fellowship Beasts of the Immortal Alliance: the first is the refinement method using rare and precious materials, the second is the blood tempering method using the essence of heaven and earth (the Fellowship Landscape Evolution Method), and the third is the bloodline ancestral awakening method (walking the dragon).

Chen Beiwu was very confident in the golden egg.

Therefore, he did not simply choose the bloodline ancestral awakening method, but combined the experience of the Immortal Alliance predecessors in transforming into dragons, deduced and evolved it many times, and chose to have all three.

That's right, Chen Beiwu plans to use the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword to nourish his scales, control the essence and blood of the Oochi Dragon to forge his body, ignite his bloodline with the marrow and blood of the Twin-Pole Mysterious Dragon, and use the essence and blood of the Golden-Edged Dragon to make his eyes appear, and then use the Dragon Vein Pill to leap into the abyss.

Then, use the Golden Armor Corpse King Pill to keep the dragon blood in the golden egg alive, and apply the [Jianmu Duguang Tianhe Shengxuan Five Elements One Qi Transformation Dragon Landscape] to activate the dragon blood in the body.

When these three elements combine, the golden egg will surely be able to summon rain and dragons with unstoppable force, drawing upon the energy of the dragon vein, allowing fish to leap over the dragon gate, and completing the sublimation of bloodline.

"let's start."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, Jin Dan's face hardened, and he rushed into the depths of Jianlong Lake and disappeared.

With the support of the auspicious red dragon's fortune and the fortuitous encounter with golden fortune, and with so many preparations made, Chen Beiwu couldn't imagine any possibility of failing in his dragon-walking journey.
