Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 283 The Three Manifestations
Yunlongze is shrouded in dark clouds all year round, rarely visited by humans, and teeming with all kinds of demonic beasts. Even the Three Realms Demon Generals, who are rarely seen in the outside world, occasionally appear.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Southern Wilderness, these Third Realm demon generals are unchallengeable overlords; if they are unlucky enough to encounter them, they will perish.

However, Chen Beiwu is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. The golden egg beneath his feet is a Third Realm Demon General, and he has awakened the Three Phases Indestructible Profound Power, possessing three lives.

As long as he controls the area during this dragon-walking expedition and doesn't flood or destroy the core danger zone of the Cloud Dragon Marsh, thus provoking the four realm demon kings slumbering within to attack, even if a demon general with over nine hundred years of cultivation attacks, Chen Beiwu is confident he can retreat safely.

"Roar!"

As the golden egg sensed the gradual awakening of its bloodline, it became increasingly excited.

The three dragons, representing metal, water, and wood, roared to the sky simultaneously, their cries shattering the clouds for miles around. Their hundred-foot-long bodies stirred up even higher waves in the churning floodwaters.

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt exploded, and a bolt of purple lightning struck the golden egg's molten golden head, scattering sparks but leaving no trace.

Chen Beiwu was not surprised by this.

In the Southern Wilderness, in order to successfully complete their journey as dragons and avoid committing evil deeds, some sensible dragons will control the water flow to prevent being struck by lightning and dying during their journey.

But the golden egg is different; the lightning that strikes down from heaven and earth can stimulate its bloodline and awaken more innate talents and profound abilities.

Therefore, the flood unleashed by the golden egg not only did not subside, but became even more domineering, with the surging waves even capable of submerging the hundred-foot-high mountain peaks.

During this process, Jin Dan's mind gradually resonated with this world, as if he had transformed into the dragon vein deep within Jianlong Lake, roaming freely in the world and gaining profound understanding.

[Xuan Tong]: Three-Phase Furnace
[Attributes]: Metal, Water, Wood
[Rank]: Fourth-Rank High-Grade Mystic Technique
[Introduction]: It uses three furnaces: a water furnace on the left, a metal furnace in the center, and a wood furnace on the right. When it swallows gold and iron, the metal furnace will ring; when it absorbs magic, the water furnace will boil; when it swallows blood and flesh, the wood furnace will burn. It can melt and refine all things into its own body, to contain the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form, and can also regenerate severed limbs and nourish life.

Note: The stronger the Three-Phase Indestructible Mystic Power, the greater the smelting feedback effect of the Three-Phase Furnace will be.

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback when he sensed the profound information surging in his mind.

If the Three Phases of Indestructibility is the advanced profound understanding of the Gilded Body, then the Three Phases of the Furnace is the advanced profound understanding of the all-encompassing ocean.

The combination of the two, in harmony with the concept of "three giving birth to all things," can unleash the full power of the Golden Egg's innate and profound abilities.

However, what surprised Chen Beiwu the most was that the Three Phases Furnace could actually nurture the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image, which undoubtedly refreshed his understanding.

What is the Tiangang Dharma Image?

Those who attain the Dao and become True Lords can travel in spirit through the vast void. However, Yin spirits fear the fierce winds and are afraid of true fire. Therefore, the ancient True Lords contemplated the stars in the heavens and gathered the primordial Qi of the Heavenly Gang to condense into the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image.

Therefore, the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form is also known as the Yang God Dharma Form. It is a great profound power that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can possess, and it is also the mark of a True Monarch cultivator.

As far as Chen Beiwu knew, there were only three types of beings in the world who could enhance the Yang Spirit Dharma Form:

First, there is the Heavenly Qi nurtured by cultivators who have attained the Dao and become True Monarchs; second, there are rare and wondrous objects of heaven and earth, such as the Myriad Manifestations Mysterious Grass that Chen Beiwu encountered in the Heavenly Evolution True Realm; and third, there are the Fellowship Beasts that cultivators of the Immortal Alliance share and are connected with.

The Golden Egg's innate profound ability, [Three-Phase Furnace], can be classified into the fourth category, namely the forbidden secret technique.

"call."

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, unable to hide his joy.

It's far beyond the standard, far beyond the standard.

No wonder there are rumors on the official website of the Immortal Alliance that Immortal Alliance cultivators who can contract a fourth-tier Xuan Beast as a companion beast have basically opened half the door to the position of True Monarch.

However, fourth-order mystical beasts are generally arrogant and are regarded as treasures by cultivation families.

Even for a proud cultivator from a prestigious clan, the first beast they contract with on their path of cultivation is usually a spirit beast or a treasure beast, and they have no right to covet a fourth-tier mystic beast.

A peerless genius like Yu Zhaohua, born into nobility, possessing a Dao body, and whose first companion beast was the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast, is one in a million in the Immortal Alliance, a special case among special cases!
But now, putting aside his innate Dao body and the resources of the Immortal Clan, Chen Beiwu is on the same starting line as geniuses like Yu Zhaohua.

……

As the Golden Egg Dragon's journey spread further and further, some slumbering beings in the northern part of Yunlong Marsh were disturbed.

In the northern part of Yunlongze, an ancient swamp that had been silent for nearly a thousand years suddenly began to ripple.

"Gulu."

The swamp mud churned, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils that looked in the direction of the golden egg and the dragon.

"The aura of a dragon is so unfamiliar."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the ancient swamp gradually rose, revealing a giant beast that was twenty feet long.

Its head resembles that of a crocodile, with six compound eyes arranged in a triangular pattern. Its body is covered with bluish-black bony armor, and corrosive mucus constantly seeps from the seams connecting its spine to the bony armor. Its tail is forked at the end, resembling a scorpion's tail.

Shaped like a crocodile and controlling decay, it can exhale foul odors. If Chen Beiwu were here, he would recognize it at a glance as a mid-grade third-tier treasure beast, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile.

"If you've been hiding long enough, come out now, or you'll force me to take action."

The putrid scorpion-crocodile let out a low growl, and as the sound wave passed, the putrid miasma dissipated, the swamp cracked, and three figures hidden in the shadows no longer concealed their auras.

"Hehe. Old Poison Crocodile, it's been a thousand years, and your temperament is still as violent as ever."

The moment the sound rang out, a strange and eerie fragrance suddenly filled the entire swamp.

"Get to the point. I don't know you at all."

The rotten scorpion-crocodile calmly raised its head, looking at the tiny figure emerging from the dense forest.

It is about three zhang tall, with a head that is a blood-kissed lotus that opens and closes continuously. It has no facial features, and its limbs are extremely similar to those of human cultivators.

But upon closer inspection, it can be seen that it is a disguise made of thorny blood vines, and it exudes a sweet, soul-corroding fragrance.

The sweet fragrance is refreshing at first, and the smeller can't help but recall the past. The second sniff will stir the heart and make the person see the owner of the fragrance as their dream spouse, but in the end, they will be reduced to ashes.

"Hehe, so what if we're not familiar? Aren't you tempted by that foreign dragon?" Blood Lotus chuckled.

She is a plant-based demon who enjoys eating small demons with vigorous blood and energy to temper her physical body, and occasionally devours rare and precious materials from Yunlong Marsh to enhance her cultivation.

However, two hundred years have passed, and her cultivation level remains at 699 years, failing to break through the barrier of her cultivation realm. This is something that Xue Lian Sha cannot accept.

"What's it that's tempting?" The putrid scorpion-crocodile asked calmly, its tail unconsciously slapping against the stinking swamp water, feigning ignorance.

It was well aware of Blood Lotus's purpose in coming.

Although monsters have long lifespans, they also come at a price.

Demonic beasts with powerful bloodlines can ignore this cost and rapidly increase their cultivation, but the Corrupt Scorpion Crocodile cannot.

Success and failure both stem from bloodline.

The Corrupted Scorpion Crocodile could easily advance to the third realm of demon general with the help of its bloodline power, becoming the overlord of the Cloud Dragon Swamp Ancient Swamp, but it also exhausted the potential of its bloodline, which became a shackle that bound it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the bloodline shackles of the demon beast are like a heavenly lock, which has caused its cultivation growth rate to approach zero in recent years. As a result, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile has been stuck in the late Golden Core stage for a full thousand years, and its cultivation progress is even more miserable than that of the Blood Lotus Demon.

To be honest, unless they find a fourth-tier rare treasure or consume the blood of a demon general of the same realm or higher, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile sees no hope of advancing any further.

The foreign dragon that was stirring up trouble in Yunlong Marsh, causing rain and floods, was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these demonic beasts who had been trapped in the Golden Core realm for hundreds of years. However, compared to breaking through their cultivation level, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile was more concerned about its own life and was unwilling to take any risks.

"Old Poison Crocodile, stop playing dumb. Don't you want to break free from the shackles of your bloodline?" another Golden Core demon beast couldn't help but ask.

This demonic beast is five zhang long, with vertical pupils on its forehead, two wings on its back, and a tiger-like appearance. It is none other than the overlord of Xunlei Lake in Yunlongze, a third-realm demon general with a cultivation level of over six hundred years, namely the [Winged Thunder Tiger].

"Of course I want to, but I am different from you. After a thousand years of arduous cultivation, I have found hope to break the shackles of my bloodline." The Rotten Scorpion Crocodile glanced at the Winged Thunder Tiger, its tone arrogant.

"Old Poison Crocodile, stop talking nonsense. If you could break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage, you would have done so long ago. Why bother cultivating for a thousand years?"

A demon general of the third realm, with hair as fine as needles, shaped like a giant rat, with blood-red eyes and nine teeth, pierced through the Dao.

The five demonic beasts—the Corrupted Scorpion Crocodile, the Blood Lotus Demon, the Winged Thunder Tiger, the Obscure Fang Rat, and the Silver Scaled Dragon Turtle—are all renowned Golden Core demonic beasts that reside in the waters near Jianlong Lake in the northern part of Yunlong Marsh.

They usually don't see eye to eye, but they can't do anything about each other.

"Enough with the nonsense, old Poison Crocodile. We're about to make our move. The Lustful Dragon Turtle has also agreed to join forces. In short, are you in or not?" Blood Lotus's tone turned cold.

The three realms of the dragon are treasures from head to toe. Even a casual urination can cleanse the marrow and bones of any fish or beast that drinks it, greatly enhancing their intelligence and turning them into minor demons of the second realm. Not to mention its dragon bones, flesh, and blood.

Having finally encountered a foreign dragon with no roots, Blood Lotus was unwilling to let it slip away easily.

Upon hearing this, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile's pupils contracted slightly as it noticed that Blood Lotus Demon, Winged Thunder Tiger, and Obsidian Fang Rat were positioned incorrectly, subtly surrounding it.

The corrupted scorpion-crocodile's mind raced, and it quickly understood the thoughts of the three beasts before it.

Golden Core Flood Dragons are not to be trifled with, even if it is a Flood Dragon that has just completed its transformation.

Moreover, the four Golden Core demon beasts—Blood Lotus Demon, Winged Thunder Tiger, Silver Scale Dragon Turtle, and Obscure Fang Rat—are not of one mind, and even if they join forces to slay the dragon, there is a high possibility of casualties.

However, if it disagrees, in order to avoid being taken advantage of, the four beasts might eliminate this potential threat in advance.

'I can't be left out; it seems we have to form an alliance.'

The rotten scorpion-crocodile sighed inwardly, but its momentum remained undiminished. It made a boastful demand: "We can join forces, but I want the dragon core."

"Old Poison Crocodile, don't be too greedy!" Blood Lotus sneered, "The dragon's entire cultivation and power are contained in its inner core. If we give you the dragon core, what will we eat?"

The Thunder Tiger with its flapping wings and the Obscure-toothed Rat also showed slight changes in their expressions.

Although the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile was the most powerful, it couldn't withstand their combined attack.

Sensing the change in atmosphere, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile took a step back: "At least half a dragon core, and I can refuse to share the remaining dragon essence, bone marrow, and flesh."

Upon hearing this, the Winged Thunder Tiger and the Obsidian Rat looked at Blood Lotus and stated the spoils they wanted. The latter nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled then."

After chatting for a while and confirming their respective interests, the four Golden Core demon beasts disappeared together.

Meanwhile, the Silver Scaled Dragon Turtle, who had been observing from the sidelines, also received news from the alliance and looked at the golden egg with a hint of greed in its eyes.

……

Rumble!
Chen Beiwu stood on the back of the golden egg, gazing at the vast sea that was faintly visible in the distance.

That is the boundary between the northern part of Yunlongze and the sea eye of the Wujian Sea.

The Golden Egg only needs to lead the floodwaters to completely merge into the sea eye, and use the momentum of "dragon entering the sea" to complete the final bloodline transformation, transforming into the blood of a true dragon, and this dragon-walking journey will come to a perfect end.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Just then, the earth trembled and the clouds broke apart.

Countless birds and beasts surged out of Yunlongze behind Chen Beiwu, forming a dark, overwhelming tide of beasts.

The overwhelming demonic energy that soared into the sky rolled like dark clouds, obscuring the sun and moon, and even shrouding the entire heavens.

"ridiculous."

Chen Beiwu stared at the overwhelming horde of demonic beasts and shook his head speechlessly.

Ordinary monsters cannot withstand the pressure of the dragon, so how could they possibly launch an attack? The origin of these beast tides is obvious.

Chen Beiwu had thought that most of the demonic beasts in the depths of Yunlongze who could achieve the Golden Core were cunning and treacherous, and would not easily make a move before figuring out the details of the Golden Egg and its feet. Now it seems that he had overestimated his opponent.

It's not that Chen Beiwu is arrogant; the Golden Egg is now both a third-realm dragon and a fourth-order mystic beast, so calling it the king of all beasts is not an exaggeration.

To unleash a beast tide in front of the golden egg is no different from showing off one's axe skills in front of Guan Yu.
"Wang."

Unlike Chen Beiwu's reaction, Tie Dan felt the power of the beast tide, his fur stood on end, and he couldn't help but let out a low growl as a warning.

Using its innate spiritual arts, it discovered that the mountains, forests, swamps, lakes, and the sky were filled with demonic beasts that seemed ready to die, numbering around 100,000.

Among them were many powerful second-realm demons, so much so that their demonic energy condensed into clouds and their malevolent aura soared into the sky!

Of course, more than these, Tie Dan was concerned about the Three Realms Demon Generals hidden among the beast tide, who made it feel a chilling danger.

With a demon general from the third realm leading the way, even a Golden Core cultivator would have to give way to a beast tide of this scale, otherwise they would be doomed to death if they were not careful.

"Don't worry, the golden egg can solve the problem."

Chen Beiwu patted Tie Dan's head, then looked at Jin Dan with interest and said, "Let's try that move."

Upon hearing this, Jin Dan immediately activated his newly awakened Bloodline Profound Power.

[Xuantong]: The Three Phases Manifest Sagehood
[Attributes]: Metal, Water, Wood
[Rank]: Fourth-Rank High-Grade Mystic Technique
[Introduction]: The dragon has three tribulations, which overwhelm all the heavens; the jiao has three phases, which make all spirits bow down.

Metal governs killing and controls magical treasures; Water governs the mysterious and nourishes life; Wood governs withering and flourishing, and manifests life and death. When the three elements appear together, all beasts kneel and submit, thus avoiding annihilation of both body and soul.

In an instant, the three-colored divine light flowed, the world suddenly brightened, and the demonic aura that permeated the sky vanished.

The golden egg hovered in the sky, and suddenly three illusory dragon figures, neither gold nor jade, neither flesh nor spirit, emerged behind it.

The first thing to manifest was a golden phantom that stretched for thousands of miles. Its evolution, Taibai, was so powerful that it could cause magical artifacts within a hundred miles to vibrate and temporarily lose their effectiveness.

What solidified was the illusory image of water that obscured the sun and sky. Its evolution was vast and profound, combining strength and gentleness, capable of nourishing heaven and earth, and displaying a majestic and awe-inspiring presence.

The final form is the illusory image of the wood element that governs the cycle of life and death. Its evolution is harmonious and endless, like the towering Jianmu tree connecting the three realms, illustrating the great Dao of life, death, and reincarnation.

When these three illusory figures suddenly merged, transforming into a supreme, all-encompassing, three-phase manifestation of divine power that completely merged into the golden egg's body, the entire world suddenly fell silent.

"Boom!"

The golden egg made no movement, but slowly raised its head. The dragon aura naturally emanating from the Three-Phase Manifestation Dharma Body caused tens of thousands of demonic beasts to kneel down, daring not to resist in the slightest, as if they had encountered a true dragon that ruled over everything.

Some weaker demonic beasts, whose minds were completely controlled by the Blood Lotus Demon, didn't even have the right to kneel down; they all exploded and died.
