Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 291 Not a Great Thief
good boy!
Thunder Roc Demon King snorted coldly, a hint of displeasure creeping into his heart.

Although he was only letting his own son give it a try and didn't have high hopes, Chen Beiwu's refusal was so decisive, without the slightest hesitation, that he really didn't take the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc seriously.

While the Five Qi Vine is extremely rare, being one of the very few Celestial Beasts capable of increasing the probability and grade of a cultivator's Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan is no less impressive.

Even if the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc bloodline has not reached its peak, it can still wield thunder to help cultivators refine their bodies and temper their Dharma bodies and Dharma forms. It is a mythical beast that countless geniuses in the Immortal Alliance dream of.

It's not an exaggeration on the part of Demon King Lei Peng; on ordinary days, countless true sages and geniuses would wear out their doorsteps with jade tablets and golden invitations, seeking to form a covenant with him.

Although Chen Beiwu was considered one of the most outstanding talents in the Immortal Alliance, he was not indispensable.

Seeing Lei Peng Demon King's expression, Zi Yao Demon King raised an eyebrow, unconcerned.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan values ​​its reputation, and now that its cub has suffered a crushing defeat and been decisively rejected, it's understandable that the Thunder Roc Demon King, who had a son late in life and is fond of protecting his offspring, would be unhappy.

Despite his displeasure, out of respect for the Venerable Dongming Changqing, the Thunder Roc Demon King couldn't possibly take matters into his own hands and bully the weak over such a trivial matter. At most, he would just be a little colder in his attitude.

'This is a bit tricky.'

The Demon King Ziyao glanced down at the child, her brows furrowing slightly.

Even the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc refused without hesitation, which shows Chen Beiwu's determination to obtain the Five Qi Vine.

Even if the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox clan is more renowned than the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, it would probably be difficult to change Chen Beiwu's mind in a short time.

"Hey?"

On Zi Yao's full chest, a small, palm-sized dumpling raised its head, tilted its head, and made a silly, cute sound.

Behind it, seven fluffy little tails that had not yet grown out swayed slightly, like blooming violets, showing no trace of the imposing aura of a Heavenly Mystic Beast.

The Purple Jade Demon King's expression immediately softened.

At the same time, upon receiving Chen Beiwu's reply, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's eyes darkened slightly, but he was not too disappointed.

After all, her father had said beforehand that the other party was no ordinary immortal sect prodigy and was most likely after the Five Qi Vine.

Even if it were willing, the probability of ultimately entering into a co-existing contract would not be high.

"You flatter me. Fellow Daoist Lei Peng's Heavenly Net Thunder Battle is the strongest Heavenly Gang Profound Technique I have ever seen!"

Chen Beiwu lightly tapped the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade with his fingertip, causing the golden egg to revert to a Three-Phase Mystic Dragon. He then looked at the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc with a solemn tone.

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc suddenly looked up and carefully observed Chen Beiwu's expression.

Seeing that the other party seemed somewhat disbelieving, Chen Beiwu flipped his palm over, revealing his somewhat charred palm.

The Heavenly Net Thunder Dipper is no ordinary mystical art.

Despite his effortless execution of the Tongcan Transformation Weapon and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword, he effortlessly cleaved it in two with a single strike.

However, the counterattack before the collapse of Tianluo Leidou broke through Chen Beiwu's protective magic power with lightning speed, causing him to suffer a slight injury.

"Fellow Taoist, you are too praised!"

Upon realizing that Chen Beiwu's words were heartfelt and not merely empty praise, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's eyes brightened slightly.

It may lose, but the prestige of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan cannot be lost to it.

Even if it loses the battle in the end, it is not a disgrace to the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan to gain the recognition of a powerful figure like Chen Beiwu.

After all, Chen Beiwu was a peerless genius that even the fourth-level demon kings took a great liking to. It was understandable that it lost when it fought two against one.

Upon realizing this, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc did not immediately turn around and leave. Instead, he struggled to stand up and began to talk with Chen Beiwu.

"The strongest profound ability? Not bad, this kid has good judgment."

At the center of the demon kings, Thunder Roc Demon King nodded slightly, his displeasure vanishing completely.

In the eyes of the Thunder Roc Demon King, his own son's failure was nothing.

Back then, in order to advance to the peak of the fourth realm demon king, he went through countless battles and suffered countless defeats before he finally honed his Dao heart, which remained calm in the face of victory and defeat.

My son is usually too arrogant, so it's not bad that he experienced a defeat today.

What slightly displeased Thunder Roc Demon King was Chen Beiwu's attitude, as if all the other Heavenly Gang Mystic Beasts were insignificant in front of the Five Qi Vine.

But now it seems that he had lived in the mountains for too long and had not tempered his temperament enough, and had wronged this young prodigy.

Upon hearing this, all the demon kings present looked at Zi Yao Demon King with strange expressions.

Although the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan's exclusive profound abilities are powerful, they cannot rival the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox's innate profound abilities.

The Purple Jade Demon King remained silent, lost in thought.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan values ​​face, but she doesn't care about such things.

In her eyes, the so-called strongest Xuan Tong was nothing but an empty title. Instead of wasting time worrying about this, she would rather find a worthy and talented cultivator for her daughter, so that her bloodline could be restored to its ancestral form and the glory of the Nine-Tailed Fox could be revived.

……

As time passed, half an hour quickly went by.

The more they discussed the Dao, the more surprised the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc became. The innate arrogance in his heart gradually faded, and his gaze toward Chen Beiwu gradually became respectful.

Good heavens, is this the peerless genius Father was talking about?
In just one magical duel, the opponent was able to see through the flaw in Tianluo Leidou's spellcasting.

That's fine, it's because it's not skilled enough and couldn't fully unleash the power of Tiangang Xuantong. It has to bear the consequences of revealing some flaws.

However, Chen Beiwu's understanding of thunder magic was no less than its own. During the discussion, his seemingly casual words actually hit the nail on the head, leaving the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc both astonished and impressed.

'The clone lightning was delayed by half a breath.'

'The evolution of the Heavenly Net Thunder Battle into the Dao of Thunder is too rigid.'

'If one uses their bloodline essence as a guide and enters the Heavenly Net Thunder Battle, the power of the profound technique might increase by another 30%.'

The more the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc pondered and summarized Chen Beiwu's words, the more it benefited. It suddenly felt that its father's usual teachings were somewhat misleading, as he always used obscure terms that were difficult for beasts to understand.

Some people who manipulate magic power and activate the key points of profound understanding simply say they rely on feelings or bloodline intuition, like a fake teacher who is deliberately mysterious and can't explain anything clearly, unlike Chen Beiwu who is so simple and clear.

Soon, the discussion ended, and Chen Beiwu took out the elixirs that Tie Dan usually refined and shared them with the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.

"This is?"

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc accepted the elixir and spoke through his divine sense.

"The second-tier spiritual pill, Five Fragrance Pill, can be taken to abstain from grains and taste the true flavor of all things. It tastes quite good, comparable to dragon liver and phoenix marrow."

Chen Beiwu smiled, then took out two more and ate them along with the golden egg, revealing a satisfied expression.

Without hesitation, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc crushed it.

"good to eat!"

Upon experiencing the tingling sensation and smoky aroma that burst forth on the tip of his tongue after the elixir entered his mouth, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's pupils dilated, and he was slightly dazed.

Chen Beiwu was not surprised to see this.

The Five-Fragrance Pill is a special elixir created by Tie Dan by combining the pill formulas of the Southern Wilderness Sect's Alchemy Hall; it is not available in the Immortal Alliance.

The Five-Fragrance Pill he gave the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc had a smoky, numbing flavor that perfectly suited the tastes of thunder-attribute treasure beasts, and it should also be somewhat effective on the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast.

"Could I have another one?" the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc asked hesitantly. "I can exchange it for a third-tier precious medicine, the Crimson Pearl Flower."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flower with three-patterned thunder pearls sprouted from the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's sharp beak. Its leaf veins were shaped like lightning bolts, and its stem resembled a precious herb with amethyst-like translucence.

"It would be too formal for us to exchange things when we're discussing the Dao. These are just some pills, they're not worth much."

Chen Beiwu handed Jin Chi Lei Peng a bottle of Five-Spice Pills, but waved his hand in refusal.

The Crimson Pearl Flower is a top-grade third-tier medicinal herb, and it grows a new pattern every three hundred years. However, the Crimson Pearl Flower given by the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc is a full nine hundred years old.

In terms of value alone, a 900-year-old Crimson Pearl Flower could be exchanged for half a portion of a fourth-grade Xuan Medicine, making it a valuable treasure. Seeing Chen Beiwu refuse, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc froze on the spot, unsure how to persuade him.

This was the first time it had offered a treasure, and it thought Chen Beiwu would gladly accept it, as it would repay the favor owed during their recent discussion.

As for exchanging Five-Spice Pills, that's just their official explanation.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc isn't stupid. How can a few elixirs that can only satisfy one's appetite compare to the Crimson Pearl Flower?

"Hey!"

Just then, a childish sob rang out in the distance.

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered, and he saw a fluffy, snow-purple ball of fluff looking up at him.

Its eyes were unusually colored, round and heterochromatic, with the left eye like amethyst and the right eye like white jade, and its eyes were full of innocent curiosity.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

When this palm-sized cub runs, it resembles a flowing moonlight, making its seven fluffy little tails, which are not yet fully grown, look like dreamy blooming petals.

"Paji."

Perhaps because it was too focused on itself, the little guy accidentally tripped over its own tail and fell down, ruining the beauty it had created earlier.

It then shook its head, stood up, and continued running towards Chen Beiwu.

To an ordinary cultivator, this sight would appear as a harmless and adorable seven-tailed purple fox.

But in Chen Beiwu's eyes, the other party was surrounded by wisps of purple aura that were neither clouds nor rosy clouds, and were difficult to describe in words.

If Chen Beiwu's guess is correct, the Crimson Dragon's Auspicious Fortune represents a Nascent Soul True Monarch, while the Purple Qi Coming from the East represents a Transformation God True Venerable.

This means that the seven-tailed purple fox cub in front of him has the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul True Venerable realm, and its bloodline aptitude is comparable to that of a fifth-tier Yuan Beast.

Of course, it's also possible that he guessed wrong. The Purple Qi from the East might be similar to the Golden Qi, representing the ultimate Nascent Soul True Monarch rather than the Divine Transformation True Venerable, but Chen Beiwu felt that this possibility was extremely slim.

'Who did he take after to be so stupid?'

Seeing his daughter fall down while running, the Demon King Ziyao sighed inwardly, speechless.

'So, they've finally arrived.'

Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's eyes narrowed, but he didn't expose it, letting the seven-tailed purple fox cub run up to Chen Beiwu.

"Hey?"

The seven-tailed purple fox stood upright and raised its forelimbs toward Chen Beiwu, as if it were being affectionate, showing no fear of the golden egg that was perched nearby.

'This little guy has a rather unique appearance!'

Chen Beiwu bent down, and his slender fingers had just touched the ball of snow-purple fur when the seven-tailed purple fox rolled into his palm on its own, its four pink paws kicking wildly in the air, looking quite happy.

"What a nice smell!"

Chen Beiwu's nose twitched slightly as he smelled a sweet, warm milky aroma.

Name: Seven-Tailed Purple Fox
[Attributes]: Possesses all five elements, primarily Earth.
[Bloodline]: Fourth-tier Supreme Grade (Celestial Mystic Beast)
[Cultivation Level]: ? ? ?

[Mysterious Connection]: Purple Heavenly Barrier, Seven Worlds and Seven Realms...

Violet Heavenly Barrier: A fourth-tier supreme-grade profound technique. With its seven tails outstretched, it can create seven layers of spatial barriers, isolating all divine sense probing and magical attacks, forming a world of its own.

Seven Lifetimes and Seven Realms: A fourth-tier supreme mystic technique that can borrow the nature of 'harvest' to absorb the five elements into the body, forming a self-circulating cycle, mobilizing the power of an entire realm, and possessing almost infinite magical power.

[Introduction]: In ancient times, there was once an unparalleled demon with nine tails who attained the Dao of Primordial Chaos as the 'Void Celestial Fox'.

Legend has it that the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox contains a trace of the Void Celestial Fox's bloodline, is skilled in spatial manipulation, can create a new world, and manifest the unparalleled ferocity of the Heavenly Gang.

Recalling the vague information about the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but feel tempted.

The fewer records there are about the Immortal Sect, the more it demonstrates the power of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox clan.

According to the "Secret Examination of the Heavenly and Earthly Beasts", the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox is also one of the top creatures, and its reputation is no less than that of the Five Qi Vine.

Moreover, the seven-tailed purple fox cub in front of him has outstanding bloodline aptitude and the potential to break through to the fifth realm of demon lord, which can help him to prove the Dao of the True God in the future.

It should be understood that the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox's innate profound abilities allow it to create a realm and evolve the world, which is not the same concept as the True Realm created by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Although Chen Beiwu was tempted, he suppressed his restless thoughts when he thought about the importance of the Primordial Golden Elixir.

There are two reasons: First, the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox has a racial inheritance, unlike Tie Dan. Even with the restrictions of the Shared Participation Contract, Chen Beiwu does not dare to expose his secret at will.

He dared not gamble on whether the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox valued herself more or her clan more.

To put it bluntly, the co-existence agreement is not something that cannot be broken.

Even without a contract of mutual assistance, Tie Dan was trusted by Chen Beiwu more than Jin Dan.

Secondly, cultivators in the Immortal Alliance are not limited to contracting only two or three Fellowship Beasts; they can contract as many Fellowship Beasts as they wish, depending on their own cultivation plans.

However, while having too many companion beasts can certainly improve a cultivator's cultivation progress, it can also reduce the purity of a cultivator's mana.

The reason Chen Beiwu hasn't contracted with Tie Dan yet is that his goal is clear: to achieve the Primordial Golden Core. He doesn't want to disrupt his planned strategy.

Another reason was that he wanted to leave Tiedan to his father.

However, considering Tie Dan's loyalty over the years and the kindness shown to him back then, Chen Beiwu had already made up his mind to find another fire-attribute treasure beast with good aptitude for his father, to help Tie Dan become a demon general or demon king.

"call."

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air and put down the seven-tailed purple fox.

The latter blinked, its short legs swinging rapidly as it climbed onto Chen Beiwu's shoulder.

Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc was somewhat surprised.

Although it was reluctant to admit it, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc clan was indeed much inferior to the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox.

Even the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox could abandon the contract, which shows that Chen Beiwu's heart is unwavering in his pursuit of the Dao, and his mind is only on the Five Qi Vine.

"Fellow Daoist Lei Peng, do you know anything about the Five Qi Vine?" Chen Beiwu asked directly.

He had just politely declined the Crimson Pearl Flower, leaving the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc unable to repay the favor, all for the sake of this firsthand information.

“That guy… it’s really hard to say. His temperament is very peculiar, and he’s a rare oddity even among the Five Qi Vine. I suggest you give up the idea of ​​contracting him,” the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc said hesitantly.

"What's so strange about it?" Chen Beiwu asked, intrigued.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc glanced around, then leaned close to Chen Beiwu's ear and whispered:

“My father said that in the past, the Five Qi Vine were all great thieves who could overpower all beasts, but this generation of Five Qi Vine only does petty theft and has no interest in cultivation.”

Chen Beiwu was somewhat taken aback.

The Five Qi Vine has an unusual personality and no interest in cultivation; isn't that just slacking off?

If that's the case, then all his actions in entering the Yuqing Mountains would be like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man, a complete waste of time!

No, if he were to waste his time, he wouldn't get the crucial information about the Five Qi Vine.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's expression, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc whispered again, "Remember, this is between you and me. Don't spread it around. That guy is petty, and I don't want to be targeted by him."

Chen Beiwu: “…”
