Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 287 Divine Fire Illuminates the Shadow
Inside Sanyue Cave.

"That's about it," Chen Beiwu reminded Jin Dan.

He made the golden egg repeat the process to leave traces of evolution, so that no one with ulterior motives would notice anything amiss, rather than to allow the latter to unleash the power of a dragon without restraint.

Upon hearing this, the three dragon heads on the golden egg paused slightly, somewhat unsatisfied, but the mystical beast energy that had been raging throughout the cave suddenly stopped.

Chen Beiwu nodded, looked at Tie Dan, and produced a jade bottle in his hand.

"Wang."

Tie Dan let out a low growl, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"If you sense an opportunity to advance your bloodline, then seize the moment and break through; if you don't sense it, don't force yourself."

Chen Beiwu squatted down, patted Tie Dan's head, and took out a perfectly round pill with three interwoven colors from the jade bottle.

Tie Dan's congenital disability was more serious than he had anticipated.

Senior Sister Wan'er once said that Tie Dan could solve his congenital disability in his hind limbs whether he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage or took a spiritual pill.

But the result was obvious: Senior Sister Wan'er made a mistake in her judgment.

Even though Tie Dan is now a peak second-realm demon, only one step away from becoming a third-realm demon general, the congenital disability he has had since birth has not yet been cured.

"Wang."

Tie Dan lowered his head, and the moment his tongue touched the pill, the Three-Turn Nirvana Pill transformed into a smooth stream and entered his throat.

"Crack, click, click!"

Tie Dan's body stiffened, and his hind limbs made a sound of bones breaking and reshaping under the powerful effects of the medicine.

"Ugh."

Feeling intense pain, Tie Dan's pupils contracted, but he stubbornly raised his head, letting himself be bathed in crimson flames without uttering a sound, allowing the power of the Three-Turn Nirvana Pill to fully erupt, forming a three-colored fire cocoon that enveloped his entire body.

"Is it done?"

As Tie Dan's voice rang out, a cool and delicate sensation came from Chen Beiwu's right shoulder.

Chen Beiwu turned his head and saw that it was the golden egg that had shrunk to a miniature size by activating the Ruyi Xuantong.

Compared to its original size, the miniature Three-Phase Black Dragon is less imposing and more adorable, significantly improving its appearance.

"should be no problem."

Chen Beiwu was multitasking, keeping an eye on the changes in the Iron Egg Fire Cocoon while simultaneously working through the cultivation methods for the Nascent Soul stage.

The Southern Wilderness has neither orthodox methods of cultivating immortality by borrowing beasts, nor does it have anyone who is too busy to establish a foundation. Forming a nascent core is extremely difficult.

However, Chen Beiwu only needs to lower the requirements for cultivating the five elements in the Qi Sea and reversing the innate foundation of the Dao, and then combine this with the principles of the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Formula to create a simplified version of the Initial Elixir Method.

In this way, the method of forming the nascent core is no longer exclusive to peerless geniuses, but a path to core formation that ordinary geniuses can comprehend.

Of course, as a price to pay for simplifying the cultivation method, Chen Beiwu's newly created nascent elixir method only contained less than half of the true essence.

Don't underestimate the true meaning of this half-formed embryonic core. If a cultivator in the Southern Wilderness successfully comprehends the embryonic core method, he can also possess immortal golden-nature magic power ahead of time during the Foundation Establishment stage, increasing the probability of core formation and the grade of the golden core.

"Om."

Just then, the fire cocoon burst open, bursting forth with brilliant light.

A muscular black dog, nearly five feet tall at the shoulder, with an ashen coat and snow-white hooves, came into Chen Beiwu's view.

"Not bad!" Chen Beiwu scanned the area with his divine sense, his eyes brightening slightly.

After taking the Three-Turn Nirvana Pill, Tie Dan's majestic presence began to emerge.

The previously missing hind limbs have been fully restored, and the limbs are straight as spears, with the subcutaneous muscles faintly visible, containing unimaginable explosive power.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Tie Dan walked slowly toward Chen Beiwu, his figure as steady as a mountain, no longer limping as before, but more like a beast roaring at the moon and swallowing fire, with the momentum of dark clouds treading on snow.

Upon seeing this, Jin Dan's eyes flickered slightly, and the pressure in his heart increased greatly.

Something's not right. It's just a pill, how could it make Tie Dan so handsome!
Chen Beiwu put down the jade slip in his hand and looked at Tie Dan with a look of satisfaction and pride.

The puppy that no one cared about has now been raised into a mighty fire beast.

As for the fact that Tie Dan's hind limbs had healed and his alchemy talent might have declined, Chen Beiwu didn't take it to heart.

He now has the authority to open a new lineage for the sect. He can apply to the Xuanji Hall for any elixirs or precious pills he wants.

"Wang."

When Tie Dan walked up to Chen Beiwu, he lowered his head and rubbed against the former's calf, feeling a little guilty.

After consuming a top-grade third-tier precious pill, its cultivation level remained at 499 years, and it failed to find an opportunity to advance to the level of a demon general.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Beiwu's lips curled up slightly as he activated his divine sense to look at Tie Dan's lineage.

The fact that his cultivation level did not advance does not mean that Tie Dan did not benefit much from consuming the Three-Turn Nirvana Pill.

【Fire Embraces Form】: A high-grade third-tier treasure technique that allows one to walk on flames without leaving a trace and hide one's shadow in fire. Iron Egg can transform into any flame to conceal its form, making it difficult for even a Golden Core cultivator to detect it.

【Sun-Devouring Fire】: A high-grade third-tier treasure technique that can devour all fires in the world. Ordinary fire-attribute treasure techniques cannot harm it; instead, they will be devoured by Tie Dan to strengthen himself and refine his own exclusive Sun-Devouring Divine Fire.

【Shattering Stars and Biting the Moon】: A high-grade third-tier treasure technique. Fangs break the spell, and the iron egg's canine teeth bite together, ignoring protective aura, talismans, and protective magic treasures (it will not work if the difference in realm is too great).

【Divine Fire Illumination】: A high-grade third-tier treasure technique. Enemies locked by the Sun-Devouring Divine Fire can have their hearts burned and souls locked, allowing for pursuit across vast distances and pinpointing their location.

'Awakening four innate treasure techniques at once!' Chen Beiwu raised his eyes slightly and looked at the Sky-Waving Cloak on Tie Dan's body.

It wasn't that Chen Beiwu was being paranoid, but rather that Tie Dan's awakened innate treasure technique was rare, far exceeding the standard among third-tier treasure beasts, and it seemed to have some connection with the legendary [Sun Devouring God].

Noticing Chen Beiwu's unusual behavior, the three golden eggs curiously peered over.

Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg and shared with it the innate treasure technique that the iron egg had awakened.

'That's it?' Jin Dan's expression relaxed.

Compared to its awakened profound innate abilities, Tie Dan's innate treasure techniques are simply miniature and rudimentary versions of the Three Phases Furnace and the Three Absolute True Qi.

Only the Divine Fire Illumination Technique is worth paying attention to; the rest are not worth mentioning.

Chen Beiwu's idea differed from Jin Dan's.

In terms of bloodline, the Golden Egg is a Heavenly Mystic Beast, while the Iron Egg is currently at most a Treasure Beast.

The fact that Tie Dan was able to awaken a talent technique with a mechanism similar to that of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast indicates that there is still a lot of potential to be explored, and it may not be inferior to Jin Dan in the future.

In addition, the Divine Fire Illumination Technique is extremely useful and may help him find the Five Qi Vine in the Jade Purity Mountains.

“Buzz buzz buzz…!”

As Chen Beiwu had expected, as the golden egg's energy gradually dissipated, many congratulatory messages popped up on his phone screen, and even his senior brother Jiang Chuan sent a message to inquire about the situation.

"Get ready, control your emotions, and don't give yourself away."

Chen Beiwu's gaze fell on the golden egg.

The golden egg patted its chest and nodded, indicating that it was the Best Actor. ...

The admissions office is located on the second floor of the Wuji Tower.

"Knock knock knock." Chen Beiwu knocked lightly on the door three times.

"Please come in," Jiang Chuan's voice rang out.

Chen Beiwu pushed open the door and entered, greeted everyone familiarly, and then found a chair to sit down.

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun subconsciously raised his eyes, about to nod in acknowledgment, but the moment his gaze fell on Chen Beiwu, his pupils shrank, and the jade pen in his hand hovered in mid-air.

"Senior brother?"

Noticing that Senior Brother Jiang was lost in thought, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and reminded him.

"You..." Jiang Chuan Zhenjun's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice slightly hoarse, his tone complex: "You've reached the Core Formation stage?"

In the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, immortal students who achieve the Core Formation within a hundred years can become true disciples of the sect.

Those who can form a top-grade elixir can become true disciples of the Immortal Sect's Divine Transformation lineage.

Those who form a first-grade golden core can compete for the position of chief disciple of the immortal sect and become the face of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

And now, Chen Beiwu has successfully formed his core in just three years!
Although the length of time it takes to form a Core does not represent potential, some noble sons and daughters of the True Venerable Clan could easily save a lot of time accumulating magical power by consuming pills to form a Core if they wished, but Chen Beiwu was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had no time for that.

Those who are too busy to build a foundation and who absorb top-grade earthly evil essence will surely achieve a first-grade golden elixir!
However, although a first-grade Golden Core is extremely rare, in the eyes of True Monarch Jiangchuan, Junior Brother Chen has exceptionally high comprehension and the potential to advance to the Venerable Golden Core. It would be a great pity if he stopped at the first-grade Golden Core now.

After all, even the strongest Golden Elixir has varying strengths.

If Junior Brother Chen's goal is the Primordial Golden Core, even if he fails in the end, the foundation he has gained from cultivating the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Core Technique will greatly improve the quality of his Golden Core.

Otherwise, the Five Great Grotto-Heavens and the Thirteen Immortal Sects would not have stipulated that immortal students must form their core within a hundred years.

A hundred years is enough time for a prodigy cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment to understand the upper limit of their own aptitude and the grade of their Golden Core.

Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly and corrected him, "Senior brother, I have not yet formed my core. I only broke through with the help of the Fellow Beast and successfully cultivated the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Pill Technique, gaining some understanding of the Great Dao of the Golden Core."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun became even more surprised.

Unformed Core Formation?
How could he not have formed his core!
Due to privacy concerns, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun did not use his divine sense to carefully examine his junior brother's dantian.

However, the Nascent Soul True Monarch's perception was extremely sharp, and he could tell at a glance how pure the immortal golden nature flowing around Chen Beiwu was, which was even more unfathomable than that of ordinary Immortal Alliance Golden Core cultivators.

But Jiang Chuan Zhenjun's keen intuition told him that Junior Brother Chen was not lying.

"Junior brother, do you mean that you have already entered the basics of the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique?" True Monarch Jiangchuan asked, carefully considering his words.

This matter is of great importance, and he must get to the bottom of it.

Chen Beiwu nodded, without any modesty: "That's right, Junior Brother Yuanshi Danjue has already reached the minor success level. If he can successfully form a contract with the Five Qi Vine, Junior Brother is confident that he can push the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Yuanshi Danjue to the major success level."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun immediately became restless.

The Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique is one of the highest inheritances of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect. Even those with flawless Foundation Establishment geniuses and innate Dao bodies find it difficult to comprehend.

Compared to the supreme heritage of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, let alone a Golden Core cultivator, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch is insignificant.

If Junior Brother Chen can successfully condense the Primordial Golden Core and catch the eye of the Immortal Sect's higher-ups, not only will he be able to take over the position of the Immortal Sect's chief, but he will also have all the necessary resources for his future breakthrough to the Divine Transformation True Venerable realm.

"How's your mutant golden scale beast evolving?"

Understanding Junior Brother Chen's purpose for this trip, True Lord Jiangchuan said solemnly.

In his view, with the Dragon Vein Pill and the Dual Extreme Xuan Jiao Marrow Blood bestowed by his master, plus his junior brother's [Jianmu Duguang Tianhe Ascending Profound Five Elements One Qi Transformation Dragon Landscape], it should not be a problem for a different species of golden scale to evolve into a golden horned dragon.

If you're lucky enough, the Golden Scales might be able to activate the hidden dragon blood deep within its bloodline, resonate with the blood of the Twin-Headed Mystic Dragon, and transform into the Earthly Fiend Treasure Beast, the Twin-Headed Treasure Dragon.

With the help of the twin-headed treasure dragon, Junior Brother Chen will find it easier to enter the depths of the Jade Purity Mountains and gain the approval of the Five Qi Vine.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu lightly patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and summoned the golden egg.

The next second, the Three-Phase Mystic Dragon appeared.

The golden egg stood proudly with three ferocious dragon heads—golden, turquoise, and blue—each radiating a distinct yet unified aura of celestial beast power.

"What kind of mystical beast is this?"

Even though Jiangchuan Zhenjun was a man of great experience, he was still shaken when he saw the Three-Phase Black Dragon for the first time.

Rare species are rare enough, let alone a rare species of Xuanjiao with three heads and three phases.

This inevitably reminded Jiang Chuan Zhenjun of the Primordial Dao Beast [Three Tribulations Dragon Lord], which existed only in legends and was recorded in the ancient books of the Immortal Alliance.

"I named myself the Three-Phase Mystic Dragon. Based on the combined strength of my three veins, I should be able to rank among the Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beasts," Chen Beiwu explained.

Although the three-phase Xuanjiao evolved from the golden egg was somewhat beyond the expected specifications, it could be barely explained away by the fact that the master had bestowed a treasure upon it.

"Just by relying on a single Dragon Vein Pill and a drop of Dual Extreme Profound Dragon Marrow Blood, a different kind of Heavenly Gang Profound Beast can be evolved?" True Monarch Jiang Chuan found it hard to understand.

If Celestial Mystic Beasts were so easy to create, the Immortal Alliance and its powerful clans wouldn't regard them as invaluable heirlooms.

"Not only that, I also used the good stuff I got from the random blind boxes of marbles, and the Golden Egg bloodline is a bit special." Chen Beiwu smiled calmly.

Not to mention Senior Brother Jiang, even Chen Beiwu himself felt that the evolution of the golden egg was a bit exaggerated, but he couldn't help but explain it.

After all, there are many cases of mutations in the bloodlines of beasts in the Immortal Alliance, including some that are difficult to explain. So, adding one more case with the Golden Egg won't hurt.

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun remained silent.

The rumors about the Dongxuan Immortal Sect were indeed true.

Junior Brother Chen's extraordinary fortune and luck make him a potential dragon born from the Fallen Dragon Palace.

But here's the problem: Jingyuan Zhenjun is the most terrifying of the twenty-four hidden dragons recorded in the Fallen Dragon Palace. It's no exaggeration to say that he has exhausted the resources of the Dragon Fallen Land.

However, Junior Brother Chen's current comprehension and fortune far surpass those of True Monarch Jingyuan, which undoubtedly violates the truth that "a true dragon cannot emerge from shallow waters."

It's not that Jiangchuan Zhenjun looks down on his junior brother's hometown; it's just to be honest.

In a small place like the Fallen Dragon Mansion, a remote and impoverished place, spiritual energy is hard to find. It would be rare enough to raise a few hidden dragons, let alone a true dragon like Junior Brother Chen!
Seeing that Senior Brother Jiang was silent, Chen Beiwu flipped his hand and took out a jade-white token from his storage ring. It was the Jade Purity Token that Minister He had given him.

"Senior brother, I need to use the Jade Purity Token to enter the Jade Purity Mountain Range and form a contract with the Five Qi Vine." Chen Beiwu stated his intention directly.

The primordial elixir is difficult to achieve.

Even if Chen Beiwu had the ability to organize the Five Elements Treasure Light on his own, he would not want to miss the help of the Five Qi Vine if he could pursue perfection.

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun nodded: "Since Junior Brother has already obtained the Jade Purity Token and mastered the Primordial Elixir Technique, I, as his senior brother, have no reason to stop you."

At this point, Senior Brother Jiang changed the subject: "However, the Five Qi Vine Escape Technique is unparalleled. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to capture. Only those who possess all five elements have the opportunity to see its true form."

"Junior brother, would you be willing to wait a few days while I inform our master? Perhaps we can request the assistance of our sect's creation artifact—the Five Elements Heaven-Piercing Mirror."

"The Five Elements Heavenly Mirror can deceive people by imbuing my junior brother with the five elements' energy, making him appear as someone who possesses all five elements, thus attracting the attention of the Five Qi Vine and preventing him from entering the mountain to search for him. However, we have never had the chance to see it."

"Of course, this method also has its drawbacks. Upon close contact, the Five Qi Vine can see through the disguise of the Five Elements Heavenly Mirror, greatly increasing its vigilance and making it more difficult to form a contract. Junior Brother, you need to consider this carefully."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, feeling conflicted.

He quickly made a decision and politely declined his senior's offer.

Those who deceive beasts with tricks will ultimately be deceived by beasts; those who subdue beasts with principles will have beasts submit to them.

Moreover, with the blessing of the Nine Breaths of Chaos, he wouldn't be unable to even see the Five Qi Vine, so there's no need to increase the difficulty of the contract.
