Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 288 Jade Purity Mountain Opens
As he watched his junior brother's figure disappear, True Monarch Jiangchuan silently recited his master's name.

After receiving his master's approval, he opened the official website of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, entered the True Venerable's decree, and notified the entire Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

[Announcement of Limited-Time Opening of Yuqing Mountain]: At Chenshi (7:00-9:00 AM) in seven days, Yuqing Mountain will open for three months. Anyone holding a Yuqing Token may apply to enter for training and to seek fellow practitioners.

[List of Applicants]: Chen Beiwu, a third-level member of the Shuimu lineage of the Zong clan.
While Chen Beiwu was researching how to subdue the Five Qi Vine, the official website of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect was updated.

The announcement about the opening of the Jade Purity Mountains was prominently displayed on the homepage and was continuously pushed to the teachers and students of the Immortal Sect.

Perhaps it was out of a desire to stir up trouble, or perhaps it was to build momentum for Chen Beiwu to become the chief of the immortal sect, or perhaps it was for the sake of fairness and impartiality, but the Jade Purity Immortal Sect even published the list of applicants.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The sudden announcement of the mountain's opening attracted the attention of many prodigies of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Qiyun Residence, above the Yiyue Cave.

A vast sea of ​​clouds, where sword energy crisscrosses.

Mo Qingshuang, dressed in white, fluttered in the wind as the Cold Sky Sword in her hand split into countless beams, influencing the celestial phenomena.

"Qiang!"

Sensing the approaching person, Mo Qingshuang frowned slightly, and the light of her Cold Sky Sword merged into one, slashing forward.

Wherever the sword's edge passed, the sea of ​​clouds shattered inch by inch, and all spiritual energy vanished.

"What is it?" Mo Qingshuang raised an eyebrow slightly, her voice cold.

He doesn't like to be disturbed when he's practicing swordsmanship, and Li Xuedi knows this too. Could it be that something big has happened?
The newcomer swallowed hard, seemingly intimidated by the sword energy, and after a moment of hesitation, said, "Senior Mo, Jade Purity Mountain has opened!"

"Clang!" A piercing sword sound echoed through the sky.

Mo Qingshuang slowly sheathed his sword, and the long sword in his hand revealed its true form, transforming into a liquid Tongcan beast whose true appearance was difficult to discern, which landed on his shoulder.

"What did you say?"

Mo Qingshuang's voice remained calm, but a lingering sword intent suddenly erupted.

"Mount Yuqing is open." The junior student wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Anyone holding a Yuqing Token can enter. It's said to be open for Chen Beiwu..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was overwhelmed by the sword intent surrounding him.

'Is this the fourth realm of swordsmanship? One sword breaks all laws?' The junior's pupils contracted sharply.

There are seven realms in swordsmanship: the first realm is the thunderous sound of sword energy, the second realm is the differentiation of sword light, the third realm is the profound understanding of sword intent, and the fourth realm is breaking through all laws with a single sword.

Senior Mo is a prodigy among prodigies. He mastered the "One Sword Breaks All Laws" technique, which even Nascent Soul True Monarchs might not be able to comprehend, while still in the Golden Core stage.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and the pure swordsmanship is no longer valued by the Thirteen Immortal Sects.

If placed in ancient times, or even prehistoric times, Senior Mo would definitely be an unparalleled sword immortal, with few rivals of the same level.

"Go back."

Mo Qingshuang didn't make things difficult for her subordinates, and instead took out her phone to search for information about Chen Beiwu.

'Having been defeated by the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, he had no time to establish his foundation. He is third on the rookie ranking list, has a contract with the exotic species Golden Scale, and his fellow beast is suspected of recently advancing to the third realm of demon general...'

The more Mo Qingshuang looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

He was also a flawless Foundation Establisher back then, and had also obtained the Jade Purity Token.

If he wasn't mistaken, all four students of the Immortal Sect's 24523rd class—the three flawless Foundation Establishers, including Yu Zhaohua, who possessed an innate Dao body—should have obtained the Jade Purity Token.

But the Jade Purity Token is extremely rare!

In order to form a contract with the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast Five Qi Vine, or the Creation Yuan Beast, Mo Qingshuang, reminded by her elders, had not used the Jade Purity Token.

Is the Immortal Sect making such a big show of things to promote Chen Beiwu, or do they think he has the potential to become the next generation's chief of the Immortal Sect by contracting the Five Qi Vine?

Mo Qingshuang shook her head, used her sword intent to suppress the distracting thoughts in her mind, took out the Jade Purity Token from her storage ring, and then submitted an application on the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's official website.

He originally intended to hone his cultivation to the late Golden Core stage before using the Jade Purity Token to enter the Jade Purity Mountain Range and attempt to form a contract with the Five Qi Vine.

But since Chen Beiwu has already entered the game, he has no choice but to follow suit.

There was no other way. Even if Chen Beiwu only had a one in ten thousand chance of contracting the Five Qi Vine, Mo Qingshuang couldn't let him sneak away ahead of time.

There's a saying that goes, "It's not the ten thousand that's scary, it's the one in ten thousand."

……

Qiyunju is another cave dwelling called Yiyue Cave.

"Buzz!"

When Mo Qingshuang's name suddenly appeared on the list of applicants for Yuqing Mountain, Yu Zhaohua couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Mo Qingshuang, ranked tenth on the Jade Void Ranking, is a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Mo family of Wushan Mountain. She is an extremely rare peerless sword cultivator in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, possessing formidable combat power.

If his cultivation hadn't failed to reach the Golden Core stage, he could probably rank among the top three on the Jade Void Ranking, making him a formidable opponent not to be underestimated.

"no solution anymore."

Yu Zhaohua sighed, but her eyes held an undisguised anticipation.

If it were a one-on-one fight, she, who had not yet advanced to the Golden Core stage, would be no match for Mo Qingshuang.

However, if we also consider the Flintstone Dragon and the Innate Dao Body, she is not incapable of crossing realms to compete with Mo Qingshuang.

Moreover, this trip into the Yuqing Mountains is not about competing in strength, but about who can gain the approval of their chosen beast.

'The Five-Element Vine is none other than mine.'

Yu Zhaohua made a grasping motion with her right hand, as if everything was under her control.

Although the plan has changed, with the help of the Five Qi Vine, her comprehension of the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique will be much easier.

……

Qiyunju, a cave dwelling of the Three Sacred Mountains.

The sound of water from the jade incense burner gradually rose in the tea room, and the two looked at each other in silence.

After a long silence, Shen Yuanbao broke the silence: "Yuqing Mountain has opened; it must have been opened by the sect's higher-ups for Chen Beiwu."

Gu Xiao smiled calmly: "I know."

There are quite a few discerning people within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect who can immediately discern the inclination of this sect's notification.

This is normal, after all, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun is Chen Beiwu's senior brother.

"Shall we join forces to enter the Yuqing Mountains?" Shen Yuanbao suggested.

"Join forces?" Gu Xiao raised his eyes slightly, looking at Shen Yuanbao, his tone intriguing: "That doesn't sound like something you would say. What, losing to Chen Beiwu has dampened your spirits?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanbao stood up, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

"and many more."

Gu Xiao put down his teacup, called out to Shen Yuanbao, and asked with interest, "How can we join forces?"

“I will offer the Four Symbols Mystic Ginseng, and you will offer the Earth Mother Solomon’s Seal. The fragrance emitted by both of them at the same time has a chance to attract the Five Qi Vine to appear.”

Shen Yuanbao stopped and turned around, looking at Gu Xiao, and said succinctly, "When the Five Qi Vine appears, each of us will rely on our own methods. If others intervene, we will join forces to fight the enemy."

“Alright.” Gu Xiao nodded, sighing inwardly.

Yuqing Mountain is the number one blessed land of the Immortal Alliance, where a large number of fourth-order mystic beasts live, and even fifth-order creation beasts occasionally appear.

To be honest, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to enter Yuqing Mountain so early.

Unfortunately, the number of Five Qi Vine contract slots is limited!
The Jade Purity Immortal Sect will only release one or two contract slots for Five Qi Vine every thousand years. Once the slots are filled, no more opportunities will be given to the sect's students.

Coincidentally, the current chief of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect is the contractor of the Five Qi Vine. He has made a name for himself among the thirteen immortal sects by relying on the Tongcan Beast, so much so that there is only one spot left in the immortal sect to contract the Five Qi Vine in a thousand years.

In this situation, if a talented cultivator were to make a grand attempt to enter the Jade Purity Mountains to contract with the Five Qi Vine, it would naturally stir up a storm among the immortal sects, drawing together the most talented individuals.

……

The Mirror Moon Sect of the Southern Wilderness, the Mysterious Hall.

Chen Beiwu was unaware that the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's official website had already caused quite a stir. "Daoist, this is a list of the rare items currently available in the Mysterious Mystery Hall. If you see anything you like, simply register with your token and you can take it directly."

With a respectful expression, Deacon Zhao Heng presented a scroll of spirit jade with both hands, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhenchuan did not stubbornly insist on his own opinion and decisively gave up on Chen Ziang; otherwise, the grass on his grave would probably be three feet high by now.

Taking the jade slip, Chen Beiwu tapped it lightly with his fingertip and activated his divine sense to read it.

【Lotus of the Heart that Connects with the Netherworld】

【Condensed True Gold Essence】

【Mysterious Wood Core】

……

【Soul-Stabilizing Elixir】

'The Xuanji Palace is indeed profoundly wealthy; it even possesses a top-grade third-tier precious pill, the Soul-Stabilizing Pill, which allows cultivators to defy fate and enhance their spiritual sense and comprehension.'

Chen Beiwu used his divine sense to mark the Soul-Stabilizing Pill on the jade slip, thinking to himself.

He then continued looking down, carefully selecting two treasures before finally settling on them.

The first is a top-grade, third-tier medicinal treasure, 【Di Luo Five Elements Ginseng】.

The rootlets of this ginseng are divided into five colors and intertwine like dragons and snakes, making it a very rare and precious medicine of the five elements.

Cultivators can directly consume it raw to enhance the purity of their Five Elements spiritual roots, depending on the strength of their own spiritual roots. It is also the main ingredient of the Three-Tier Core Formation Treasure Medicine, the Five Elements Golden Core.

Second is the third-grade premium wine, [Bixia Five Elements Dew].

This precious wine was not brewed by humans, but by the Golden Core Ape King raised in the sect's Treasure Beast Garden.

This wine is as colorful as the morning glow reflecting on snow, shimmering and radiant. Its taste is like a clear, springy spring, with aromas of fruit, earth, wood, and wine, and it has a powerful aftertaste.

Cultivators can benefit from its effects and break through barriers; while beasts can nourish their blood and bodies by consuming it, but excessive consumption can easily lead to internal heat and have the opposite effect.

'Soul-Stabilizing Elixir, Earthly Five Elements Ginseng, Azure Cloud Five Elements Dew!'

Upon seeing the items Chen Beiwu had chosen, Zhao Heng couldn't help but look troubled: "Daozi has a good eye. These three treasures are all rare items, and I need some time to arrange them."

"It's alright, as long as it can be delivered within two days." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly.

The Five Qi Vine is not a plant that has become a demon, but a spiritual root of heaven and earth with high intelligence. It is difficult to subdue it with brute force; one can only try to please it.

The Earthly Five Elements Participation in the Azure Cloud Five Elements Dew was a carefully prepared gift by Chen Beiwu for the Five Qi Vine, and it could also be said to be bait to lure the Five Qi Vine to appear.

As for the other Soul-Stabilizing Pill, Chen Beiwu planned to use it himself.

With the authority to establish a new lineage, as long as he doesn't go too far, the sect's patriarch will turn a blind eye.

The only thing that Chen Beiwu regretted was that, although he had access to fourth-tier Xuan medicines and fourth-tier Xuan pills with his current privileges, he needed to spend a lot of contribution points to exchange for them, which he simply couldn't afford.

……

Soon, seven days passed.

As dawn breaks, the sea of ​​clouds surges and rolls.

At the front of the Yuqing Mountains, a thousand-foot waterfall cascades down like a silver river, splashing up a misty spray.

The cultivation plaza near the front mountain has long been a gathering place for the most outstanding talents of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect for nearly a century.

Mo Qingshuang, dressed in white, stood under the green pine in the square, her gaze occasionally sweeping over the crowd, pausing slightly on a few figures.

'interesting. '

Yu Zhaohua stood near the waterfall, seemingly sensing something, and her gaze met Mo Qingshuang's.

Their eyes met, and the air suddenly froze.

Just then, the sound of footsteps from not far away broke their eye contact and attracted the attention of the other geniuses present.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

As Chen Beiwu stepped onto the cultivation plaza, all the immortal sect prodigies present turned their gazes to him.

"Is he Chen Beiwu?" Mo Qingshuang frowned slightly, quite surprised.

Seeing is better than hearing.

In Mo Qingshuang's eyes, although Yu Zhaohua and Chen Beiwu are both peerless geniuses, they are both seedlings of the new generation and have not yet become powerful. They need to cultivate hard for decades more before they can barely be on par with him.

To put it bluntly, he believes that the only competitors for the Five Qi Vine in this contract are fellow cultivators of the same generation, not the younger students of the new generation.

But when Mo Qingshuang saw Yu Zhaohua and Chen Beiwu with her own eyes, she realized through her spiritual senses that she had committed the sin of arrogance.

Even among the most talented immortals, there are differences!

Even though his cultivation time is short, Yu Zhaohua and Chen Beiwu can still pose a slight threat to him.

'Could it be that Chen Beiwu has already achieved the Golden Core True Person realm?' Mo Qingshuang's fingers tightened slightly, and her gaze towards Chen Beiwu was solemn.

On the other side, Ye Xinya slightly raised her eyes and carefully examined Chen Beiwu not far away, unable to hide her shock.

'How long has it been... his cultivation has already improved again?'

It must be admitted that every time they met, Chen Beiwu brought Ye Xinya an indescribable surprise.

No, that's not right. To be more accurate, it should be "frightened".

Ye Xinya wasn't exaggerating; Chen Beiwu's cultivation speed was probably even faster than that of the chief disciple of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

'Could he really subdue the Five Qi Vine and form a Pure Yang Nascent Soul in the future?'

Upon thinking of this, Ye Xinya couldn't help but feel a slight choking in her breath.

She comes from the Lingyuan Ye family and knows many secrets of the Immortal Alliance.

For example, the Immortal Alliance's Nascent Soul stage is divided into three ranks: Pure Yang, Heavenly Gang, and Purple Mansion.

Those who are pure Yang emulate Heaven and Earth, and attain the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Their Yang spirit travels to the North Sea in the morning and to Cangwu in the evening, exhaling and inhaling to transform into innate purple Qi. This is something that cannot be obtained by those without great potential and great opportunity.

Those who are of the Heavenly Gang are those who unite the Heavenly Gang of the Zhou Tian. They can comprehend the principles of the shifting of stars and the movement of the constellations, command thunder and lightning, summon wind and rain, and create true realms. This is something that cannot be attained by anyone who is not a Golden Elixir of the highest grade.

Those who attain the Purple Mansion are those who have obtained the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen, open up the Purple Mansion Dantian, and can shrink the earth to an inch, travel a thousand miles in an instant, have their primordial spirit leave their body, and possess a Dharma form. Only those who have attained the Golden Core of the middle third grade or above can achieve this.

Simply put, the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul is the orthodox path of the Immortal Alliance, and eight or nine out of ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Immortal Alliance have forged the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul.

One in a hundred is a Nascent Soul cultivator; most are the prodigies of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens and the Thirteen Immortal Sects, or the chief disciples of an Immortal Sect.

Pure Yang Nascent Soul cultivators are one in ten thousand, and most are the chief cultivators of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens.

The so-called "great potential" refers to those who can condense a Golden Core of Grade One or above, while the "great opportunity" refers to rare encounters with the same beast or rare and precious materials.

Of course, if a cultivator from the Immortal Alliance can form a Golden Core with a title, they can become a Pure Yang Nascent Soul even without great fortune.

Achieving the title of Golden Elixir is not so easy.

All the geniuses of the thirteen immortal sects know one thing: to form a Golden Core of the Venerable One, one must comprehend the immortal techniques.

The difficulty of comprehending immortal techniques is so high that it is one in a billion, and even the most outstanding talents of the Five Great Cave Heavens may not be able to do it.

It is precisely for this reason that, in Ye Xinya's view, the reason why the opening of Yuqing Mountain was able to attract so many geniuses from immortal sects is because the Five Qi Vine can help those who have reached the first-grade Golden Core stage to break through to the Pure Yang stage, so that no one is willing to give up the hope of taking a further step.

Noticing the burning gaze, Chen Beiwu looked up slightly and found a beautiful female cultivator nodding at him. It was Ye Xinya, whom he had met a few times before.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a sea of ​​clouds rolled in over Yuqing Mountain.

As a thunderclap resounded and the sunlight faded, the Jade Purity Mountain Formation automatically dissipated, revealing a path leading deep into the Jade Purity Mountain Range.
