Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 289 All Kings' Attention
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Without further ado, the moment the restriction dissipated, dozens of streaks of light, like shooting stars chasing the moon, pierced the sky and rushed toward the misty mountain path.

Among the river of light formed by the interweaving of various colored lights, one sword light was the most powerful and charged ahead.

'Mo Qingshuang, the Azure Nether Sword Cultivator?'

Glancing at Mo Qingshuang, who had vanished in an instant while riding a flying sword, Chen Beiwu took a step forward and urged his Zongtao Stepping Void to rush towards the Cloud Mist Mountain Path.

"Om."

The mountain mist surged and quickly swallowed up the figures of all the immortal sect's prodigies.

At the summit of the sea of ​​clouds, the five True Monarchs stood in mid-air, ignoring the fierce winds of the sky, gazing into the depths of the Jade Purity Mountains.

"The Five Qi Vine is an innate spiritual root, transformed from a branch of the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree. I wonder which of the disciples of this generation of immortal sects will be able to gain its approval," said Yue Shan, the Mountain Moving True Lord, with a sigh.

He had used the Jade Purity Token to cross the Jade Purity Mountain Range back then, but he failed to gain the approval of the Five Qi Vine.

Instead, by sheer chance, he gained the allegiance of the fifth-tier Yuan Beast, the Prison Yue Yuan, laying the foundation for his Tian Gang Yuan Ying.

"It's hard to say, this generation of Five Qi Vine has a rather peculiar temperament."

Suddenly, an incredibly tiny old tortoise appeared; it was the spirit of Yuqing Mountain.

"Elder Yu, you've arrived too." The five True Lords bowed slightly, their tone respectful.

Yuqing Mountain is the number one blessed land of the Immortal Alliance, and the quality of its spiritual veins is so high that it can almost dominate Tianyuan Star.

As the spirit of Yuqing Mountain, the tiny old tortoise in front of them may look ridiculous, but it is actually powerful and has already entered the realm of True Venerable.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would have to treat him with the respect due to a junior, and would not dare to show the slightest disrespect.

The old tortoise nodded slightly, glancing in the direction of Chen Beiwu and the others, as if watching a show.

"May I ask Elder Yu, what are the unique characteristics of this generation of Five Qi Vine?" Jiang Chuan Zhenjun suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the old tortoise shook his head and said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, the True Monarchs present exchanged glances and did not pursue the matter further, instead using their divine senses to probe the immortal sect prodigies they had chosen.

Subduing a compatible beast in the Yuqing Mountains is not an easy task.

To avoid entrusting their children to the wrong people, the demon kings of the fourth and fifth realms of the Jade Purity Mountains are very likely to personally conduct the test.

During this period, if they encounter any promising talents, they can recommend them to their master, or even personally take them on as disciples.

……

The outer perimeter of the Yuqing Mountains.

The clouds dispersed and the fog lifted, revealing the clear sky and the heavens.

A series of undulating, layered mountain peaks came into Chen Beiwu's view.

'Truly worthy of being called the number one blessed land of the Immortal Alliance!'

Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, carefully sensing the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the faint, almost imperceptible Daoist charm permeating the Yuqing Mountains.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

Chen Beiwu did not use his escape technique to catch up with his fellow cultivators. Instead, he maintained a peaceful mindset and ventured deeper into the mountains step by step.

He walked past waterfalls and springs, paused beneath ancient pines and rocks, looked up at the clouds drifting by, and comprehended the profound mystery of the natural world of Yuqing Mountain.

And so, Chen Beiwu traveled around enjoying the scenery, seemingly forgetting the purpose of his trip.

An hour later, Chen Beiwu was halfway through comprehending the Primordial Elixir Manual when he became very interested. He drank a drop of Purple Mansion Condensing Elixir, which greatly increased his comprehension.

With every gesture, he subtly harmonized with the world around him, and soon entered a state of enlightenment.

"Crash."

The great river surges and its turbid waves reach the sky.

As Chen Beiwu walked, a surging river blocked his path.

At this moment, Chen Beiwu's eyes were slightly closed, still immersed in the Daoist rhythm of heaven and earth. He did not use any escape techniques to fly through the air, seemingly unaware of the great river in front of him, and continued to walk forward.

"boom!"

As Chen Beiwu took a step forward, the surging waves suddenly stopped.

The turbulent river seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, splitting apart and receding to both sides, revealing a dry stone path about ten feet wide.

The stone path is covered in glistening moss, where fish and shrimp lie in hiding, creating a striking contrast with the mighty rivers on either side.

Chen Beiwu's clothes and feet remained dry as he crossed the river along the stone path.

'Eek!'

Having witnessed this scene, a pure white fox by the river was stunned, its fox eyes widening as it began to doubt the existence of the demon.

That's outrageous. Is it under a spell?

To be able to walk and part water without using any magic power—what kind of divine being is this!
After a long while, the white fox, realizing what had happened, couldn't help but tap its head. With its four feet moving like the wind, it transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight into the depths of the Jade Purity Mountains.

Although this white fox was only a minor demon of the second realm, it was naturally sensitive and intelligent, and thus understood why human cultivators had appeared in the Jade Purity Mountains for no apparent reason.

'Good things shouldn't go to outsiders. Such a banished immortal shouldn't be allowed to fall into the wrong hands of some beast!'

As the white fox ran, it plotted in its mind.

The white fox was at the bottom of the Jade Purity Mountain Range, but it knew very well that it wasn't just the geniuses of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect who wanted to enter the mountain to contract suitable companion beasts.

The offspring of the Heavenly Mystic Beasts and Creation Primordial Beasts deep within the Jade Purity Mountains also wish to form a contract with the unparalleled geniuses of the Immortal Alliance, to revert their bloodlines back to their ancestral form, and even surpass the bloodlines of their ancestors.

However, such extraordinary beings are few and far between, and the offspring of the Xuan Beasts and Yuan Beasts of Yuqing Mountain have extremely high standards and look down on ordinary true disciples of the Yuqing Immortal Sect.

But this cultivator in green robes was different. Not only did he have a good temperament and excellent appearance, but even the Daoist aura surrounding him was enough to shock the beast.

To be honest, if it hadn't known that its own talent and bloodline were limited and that it was not destined to catch the eye of such a prodigy and become his fellow beast, the white fox would probably have gone for it itself.

Fortunately, it didn't lose money either.

If it can promptly inform the king and facilitate the contract, it will be rewarded handsomely for its great contribution and promoted to a third-realm demon general.

Upon realizing this, the white fox couldn't help but activate its magic power to increase its speed.

"Whoosh!"

Watching the white figure brush past and disappear in the blink of an eye, the little demons picking spirit fruits tilted their heads, a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Strange, has something big happened?
The white fox rushed into a misty cave, and before it could speak, a clear, cold voice slowly rang out.

"How can you be so flustered?"

Sensing the king's displeasure, the white fox suddenly stopped, rolled into a snowball in front of the jade steps, and then knelt down and kowtowed, its voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Your Majesty, a peerless genius has arrived from the mountain!"

"Oh, what kind of peerless genius? Tell me about it."

The figure on the throne lazily shifted his posture, his voice remaining cool and aloof.

A mere second-realm demon, with limited knowledge, how could it possibly understand what a peerless genius truly is?

The demon king, sitting on his throne, asked the question casually out of boredom, not taking his subordinate demons' words to heart.

Where in this world are there so many peerless geniuses?

"That man was dressed in a blue robe. He had attained enlightenment in the Pure Land of Jade Purity. Without using any magic power, he caused the Beichuan River to split open by five zhang (approximately 10 meters) on its own, revealing the riverbed, simply by relying on the essence of the Dao." The white fox's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"It's quite interesting that Kitagawa Jiangling would take the initiative to clear a path for her."

The figure on the throne chuckled softly, sat up slightly, and revealed his true face.

Its hair was jet black, cascading down like a waterfall, with the ends gradually turning pale purple. It had a pair of fluffy, pale purple fox ears on either side of its head.

The cave's fluorescent light illuminated her face, revealing porcelain-white skin and a stunningly beautiful face with a touch of allure. Below her neck, she wore a lotus-shaped silver ornament.

However, what commanded the white fox's awe even more were the seven fox tails behind the king, shimmering with a pale purple light. The next second, bare feet emerged from beneath the gauze robe, revealing delicate, crescent-shaped toes. With a single step forward, they stopped three inches off the ground, without touching a speck of dirt.

"Where is that person? Is he still in Beichuan River?" Demon King Ziyao asked with great interest.

As the overlord of Purple Hill Mountain and the queen of the Mystic Beast [Seven-Tailed Purple Fox] clan, she is pregnant with a daughter.

If that human prodigy is truly as gifted as the white fox described, she wouldn't mind having her daughter form a contract with him, or even having another peerless prodigy as a son-in-law.

Of course, not all cultivators in the Immortal Alliance are indifferent to love between humans and demons.

If that person can pass the test smoothly, even if they are unwilling to become in-laws, Demon Queen Ziyao will not force them, but will let nature take its course.

Upon hearing this, the white fox was taken aback.

Oh no! In its eagerness to claim all the credit, it only thought about reporting to the king immediately, but forgot to keep an eye on that person's location.

Seeing the white fox's expression, Demon King Ziyao was speechless, but she did not blame her subordinate.

Her territory was not far from the Beichuan River, so finding that prodigy would be a piece of cake.

So the Demon King extended his fingertip and lightly touched the white fox from a distance, using this to search for Chen Beiwu's aura.

"I have found you."

Zi Yao's eyes brightened slightly, and she disappeared with her daughter.

……

Yuqing Mountain is steep and rugged, with many cliffs and precipices.

Chen Beiwu closed his eyes slightly, trying to comprehend the true meaning of the Primordial Elixir Technique as he walked deeper into the Jade Purity Mountains.

Not long after, another sheer cliff blocked Chen Beiwu's path.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, a sheer cliff is no different from flat ground. Even without activating a flying boat or magical artifact, they can easily fly across it using only their Foundation Establishment magic power, let alone Chen Beiwu, whose aura is no different from that of a Golden Core cultivator.

But Chen Beiwu did not use any magic power; instead, he took a few steps forward without anyone noticing.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Just as Chen Beiwu's toes were about to plunge into the abyss, the clouds in the sky descended from the heavens, condensing into celestial steps to help him move forward.

"Clouds and mist pave the way, and spirits illuminate the steps."

Upon seeing this scene, many of the demon kings present were somewhat tempted.

The fact that this child can evoke such Daoist energy demonstrates an extraordinary level of comprehension that is beyond the imagination of even beasts. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he has the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Suddenly, a breeze blew.

The expressions of the many demon kings present changed slightly as they looked behind them, secretly thinking that things were in trouble.

"Why are you all gathered here today? It's quite lively."

The Demon King Zi Yao smiled sweetly, her voice clear and cold, devoid of any fox-like charm, yet it caused the pupils of the demon kings present to shrink slightly.

In Yuqing Mountain, a fourth-level demon king is not considered a big shot.

However, this woman has an extraordinary background, and even the Fifth Realm Demon Lord deep in the Jade Purity Mountains would not easily provoke her.

Under the watchful eyes of many demon kings, a Thunder Roc Demon King coughed twice and said solemnly, "I have a young son who is about to come of age. It is time to find a suitable partner for our contract."

The Demon King Zi Yao has a powerful background, and so does he, though he is slightly inferior. But he is not so weak that he doesn't even dare to fight for a suitable contractor for his child.

"What a coincidence." Zi Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the Thunder Roc Demon King, her seven fox tails swaying gently:
“My Ah Zhi just turned eighteen, which is the critical period for the awakening of the Seven-Tailed Bloodline. However, this girl is picky and will not sign a contract with anyone who is not a peerless genius of the Immortal Alliance and has an excellent appearance.”

Upon hearing this, all the demon kings except for Lei Peng Demon King took several steps back and hid their good-for-nothing offspring.

Both the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox and the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc are renowned Celestial Mystic Beasts.

Compared to the bloodline descendants of these two individuals, their foolish child is indeed insignificant.

However, the matter of concluding a covenant also depends on fate. If they can find a match, their son might be able to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

"Since that's the case, how about we each use our own methods?"

The Thunder Roc Demon King, whose aura was not inferior, said in a deep voice.

"Just to my liking."

Upon hearing Zi Yao's words, all the demon kings present breathed a sigh of relief.

If you love your son, you will plan far ahead for him.

These days, there are very few exceptionally talented cultivators who possess superior character and can help their children break through the shackles of their bloodline.

They've come across one so rarely, how could they be content not to give it a try?

If all else fails, there are other potential immortal sect prodigies to choose from within the Jade Purity Mountains.

After the negotiations concluded, not far from where the many demon kings were located, a ginseng spirit with an endearing appearance suddenly vanished.

Only the Purple Yao Demon King and the Thunder Roc Demon King noticed this anomaly. The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

With their cultivation level, they could naturally tell that the ginseng spirit was not a living creature, but a dead puppet, and the name 'Thousand Transformations Five Qi Vine' couldn't help but come to mind.

"What?"

Deep within the Jade Purity Mountains, the Five Qi Vine tilted its head, its eyes filled with confusion.

How strange. It thought that the gathering of so many demon kings meant that some extremely rare and precious natural treasure had appeared, but it turned out to be for a cultivator from the Immortal Alliance.

What are the advantages of being a cultivator in the Immortal Alliance?
However, this is not bad. Since those demon kings are not in their territory, it can openly take away some fourth-tier mystic medicines.

What? You're saying that taking something without asking is stealing, not doing it honestly?

But it asked, and there was no beast there, nor did any beast answer. So it wasn't stealing, but taking!
Thinking of this, the Five Qi Vine sank into the ground with a guilty conscience and disappeared.

For safety's sake, it decided to start by taking from the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc Demon King, who was closest to its territory.

……

Crossing rivers and mountains, the deeper Chen Beiwu went into Yuqing Mountain, the more he could feel the profound mystery of the Yuqing Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique.

However, immortal techniques are difficult to master. Even though Chen Beiwu drank fourth-grade Xuan wine and his comprehension greatly increased, he still could not comprehend the seemingly attainable but actually distant Great Completion realm.

"call."

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly withdrew from his state of enlightenment.

The effects of enlightenment vary from person to person.

Some people who attain enlightenment can establish their own sects and create new methods; others who attain enlightenment can improve their cultivation and break through to new realms.

Chen Beiwu's enlightenment this time was in the former category. Although he failed to comprehend the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Formula, he almost perfected the Five Directions Five Elders Taiyi Elixir Casting Technique.

It's not an exaggeration on Chen Beiwu's part; he can now instantly form a Taiyi Golden Core, a high-ranking Golden Core whose essence is extremely close to the Primordial Golden Core, simply by thinking about it.

But there's a saying that goes, "Those who are just a hair's breadth apart often end up being a lifetime apart."

Chen Beiwu's ambition lies in the Great Way, and what he pursues is his own self-perfection.

'Sure enough, it came. '

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, scanned his surroundings, and his gaze almost imperceptibly swept over the dazzling auspicious light in front of him.

Those who are blessed with great fortune are either Nascent Soul True Lords or Hopeful True Lords.

Chen Beiwu remained expressionless, realizing that his plan had succeeded.

True hunters often appear as prey.

When he demonstrates sufficient talent, aptitude, and ability, he doesn't need to go to the mountain; the mountain will come to him on its own.
