Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 293 Bloodline Pulse

"Zheng!"

The sword's cry was clear and resonant, and the vast sword intent contained within it sent chills down one's spine.

Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao's expressions changed slightly.

A frost-colored flying sword crashed down, and the chilling aura surrounding the sword instantly turned the area within a ten-zhang radius into ice.

On the flying sword, a tall, slender figure stood on the sword, his white robes fluttering in the wind.

"Qingming Sword Cultivator Mo Qingshuang!"

Shen Yuanbao's eyes narrowed, and he directly stated the person's name, his tone filled with apprehension, but he did not back down an inch.

Mo Qingshuang is indeed powerful. At a young age, she has comprehended the fourth realm of swordsmanship, breaking through all laws with a single sword. She is an extremely rare peerless swordsman in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect. She even ranks tenth on the Jade Void Ranking with her mid-stage Golden Core cultivation. However, she is not enough to make him back down.

Mo Qingshuang didn't speak. She glanced around, ignoring Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao, and fixed her gaze on the Five Qi Vine.

"We were the ones who discovered the Five Qi Vine first, Senior Mo, are you trying to break the rules?!"

Shen Yuanbao's expression darkened, and he subconsciously reminded him.

Even if he were to join forces with Gu Xiao to fight against Mo Qingshuang, they would still be no match for her. They could only rely on the unspoken rules between the Yuqing Immortal Sect and the True Venerable Clan, and they would not back down an inch.

"A pointless act of resistance."

Mo Qingshuang's frost sword trembled slightly beneath her feet, causing the temperature within a hundred feet to drop sharply, and a thin layer of frost immediately formed on Shen Yuanbao's temples and robes.

The atmosphere on the scene became somewhat tense, and Wu Qiteng was happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

"Violent!"

Just then, a bolt of golden lightning suddenly struck down.

Amidst the flickering lightning, a golden-winged thunder roc the size of an eagle hovered in mid-air.

To the right of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, Chen Beiwu stood with his hands behind his back, walking through the air, his green robe fluttering, exuding a unique air of authority.

His gaze swept over Mo Qingshuang and the other two, then he glanced at the Five Qi Vine with surprise in his eyes.

what's the situation?
Both being celestial beasts, the seven-tailed purple fox cub possesses the auspicious energy of "purple qi coming from the east," making it exceptionally precious.

Why does this Five Qi Vine only have golden luck, and not even the Red Dragon of Great Fortune? This shouldn't be the case!
'Could it be...'

While Chen Beiwu was pondering in the dark, two more rainbow lights descended one after the other, revealing the figures of Ye Xinya and Yu Zhaohua.

Seeing this, Mo Qingshuang stopped the trembling of the frost sword beneath her feet and did not continue to attack.

Although he was extremely passionate about swordsmanship, he was not someone who was bound by rules.

If only Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao were present, Mo Qingshuang wouldn't mind using her sword to make them understand that within the Immortal Alliance, strength and realm are the most important rules.

However, the successive appearances of Chen Beiwu, Ye Xinya, and Yu Zhaohua made him abandon his idea.

The reason is simple: when you don't have the strength to overturn the table, following the rules is undoubtedly the best option.

Moreover, Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao are of average cultivation level, making it virtually impossible for them to gain the approval of the Five Qi Vine.

"Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." Ye Xinya covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems I wasn't too late to join in this fun."

"Gentlemen, how about we each rely on our own abilities?"

Yu Zhaohua looked around at the cultivators present, some of whom were eager to try.

Only the strong are qualified to form a contract with the Five Qi Vine.

Rather than following the rules and subduing the Five Qi Vine through a contract, she would prefer to fight against various geniuses to determine the strongest before considering a contract.

"Dear seniors, Shen Yuanbao and I have made a pact with the Five Qi Vine by using a fourth-grade Xuan medicine as collateral."

"If we win, we will enter into a contract; if we lose, we will lose the elixir. I hope you will not disturb us." Gu Xiao bowed slightly, maintaining his composure.

"Very well, since you have already made an agreement, I am not one to break the rules."

Mo Qingshuang nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "However... if your contract fails, the ownership of the Five Qi Vine will have to be re-discussed according to the order of priority."

“Of course.” Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao were overjoyed.

Chen Beiwu watched this scene without objecting; instead, he smiled with interest.

This generation of Five Qi Vine is really interesting; it likes to be sneaky and furtive.

His personality is not only completely different from that of the upright and honorable thieves recorded in ancient books, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that they have no relation whatsoever.

At this thought, a tuft of purple velvet suddenly moved on Chen Beiwu's shoulder; it was a palm-sized seven-tailed purple fox cub.

It had just woken up and yawned.

"Hey."

Noticing Chen Beiwu's gaze, the seven-tailed purple fox lazily opened its eyes, its seven tails gently stroking its cheeks as if it were being affectionate.

'With a golden-winged thunder roc accompanying him and a seven-tailed purple fox by his side, what kind of fortune is this?'

Upon seeing this scene, the geniuses present couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and envy, especially Yu Zhaohua and Ye Xinya.

Most of the Celestial Beasts are proud and difficult to form contracts with.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc is one thing.

The seven-tailed purple fox possesses all five elements, primarily earth, and boasts a powerful bloodline talent. Coupled with its outstanding appearance, it undoubtedly fulfills the perfect fantasy of many female cultivators in the Immortal Alliance for a fellow cultivator.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Yu Zhaohua and Ye Xinya couldn't form a contract with the Five Qi Vine, their best contract target would be the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox.

However, before they could find any trace of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, Chen Beiwu had already gotten along well with it, as if they could form a covenant at any time.

Not only were the geniuses of the Immortal Alliance amazed, but even the usually calm Five Qi Vine would occasionally glance sideways and steal a look at Chen Beiwu.

But it wasn't just looking at Chen Beiwu, but also at the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc and the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox surrounding him.

'Two more companions have fallen.'

As Wu Qi Teng sighed inwardly, his gaze toward Chen Beiwu became more wary.

The Five Qi Vine will never be a slave!
It seems necessary for it to stay away from this human monk.

"Alright!" (Let's begin!)
Wu Qi Teng looked at Shen Yuanbao, intending to finish the battle quickly and leave this place of trouble.

"Be careful."

Shen Yuanbao gave a reminder and charged forward with the Purple Lightning Leopard, his hand seals flying.

After being defeated by Chen Beiwu, in order to avenge himself, he used his family's resources to raise the Purple Lightning Leopard's cultivation level to 499 years, sparing no expense in expending a large amount of cultivation resources.

With the help of the mutual support contract, Shen Yuanbao's cultivation level also skyrocketed from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

With the combination of these two elements, and aided by the power of the Pure World Thunder Lotus, Shen Yuanbao even dared to contend with Golden Core cultivators.

It's safe to say he's guaranteed to win this battle!
"boom!"

The Purple Lightning Leopard was already fast enough, but the Five Qi Vine was even faster. Its fair vine body was suddenly stained with a layer of golden light, transforming into a metallic mystic beast.

The raging lightning struck the Five Qi Vine, but it didn't even cause the slightest ripple.

'Completely unharmed!' Shen Yuanbao's pupils contracted, his mind reeling.

"Shh-!"

The next instant, the golden vines strangled and pierced through the lightning.

The Purple Lightning Leopard felt a tightness in its throat, as its neck and limbs were bound and restricted by vines that shimmered with golden light, making it unable to move its body even slightly.

'when? ’

The ground beneath Shen Yuanbao's feet suddenly cracked open, and dozens of purple-gold vines burst forth from the earth, instantly piercing through his protective magic and defensive artifacts, wrapping around his limbs and torso, and interrupting his half-formed Purifying Thunder Lotus hand seal.

"Okay." (You lost, next.)
Wu Qi Teng looked at Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he tentatively asked, "Now that you've changed your mind, can you return the Earth Mother Solomon's Seal?"

Fell into a trap!
This Five Qi Vine is definitely not a second-realm minor demon, but a third-realm demon general. Otherwise, Shen Yuanbao would not have suffered such a crushing defeat without even being able to withstand a single move.

If he were to take the stage now to fight the Five Qi Vine, he would only lose even faster.

“Well.” Five Qi Vine shook its head.

Don't even think about it.

Once it has something in its hands, there's no way it can be returned.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao couldn't help but grit his teeth. He had no way out now.

Defeat is a small matter. With so many geniuses from various immortal sects watching, if he doesn't even have the courage to fight the Five Qi Vine, he would undoubtedly be disgracing the Gu family.

So Gu Xiao summoned the Tongcan Beast to attack together, but the result was even worse; he couldn't even hold on for a single breath.

"thump."

Seeing Gu Xiao lying on the ground, Wu Qi Teng blinked and prepared to sink into the ground to leave.

"Zheng!"

A frost-colored flying sword descended, blocking the path of the Five Qi Vine.

Wu Qi Teng looked up at the direction from which the flying sword came, and saw Mo Qing Shuang flip her wrist, producing a jade-colored ice-attribute mystic herb in her hand.

"Use this as a stake. If I win, we will form a covenant."

Mo Qingshuang spoke calmly, without mentioning the consequences of defeat.

Because he believed he would not lose, even if his opponent was the renowned Five Qi Vine.

"Na."

Wu Qi Teng straightened his body and refused without hesitation.

It's not stupid. It can bully Foundation Establishment cultivators at will, but if it faces Mo Qingshuang, it might be at a disadvantage.

What does failure mean?
This means it would have to become a slave to a cultivator from the Immortal Sect, which is absolutely impossible.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao exchanged a glance and simultaneously put away the Xuan Gang Locking God Talisman and the Tian Gang Suppressing Xuan Talisman.

If they can't form a contract with the Five Qi Vine, then no one else can expect to form one smoothly either.

"Om."

The moment the power of the Xuanlu disappeared, the Five Qi Vine was overjoyed and vanished into the ground.

'This is troublesome indeed.'

Mo Qingshuang frowned slightly, glancing at Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao. A flash of cold sword intent crossed her eyes, but she did not make a move.

Even if he wins the magic duel, what difference does it make if the Five Qi Vine is unwilling to make an agreement?
Forcibly entering into a contract against the will of the mythical beasts of Yuqing Mountain will result in severe punishment from the Yuqing Immortal Sect.

"Unfortunately, there's no good show to watch."

Ye Xinya smiled, took a few light steps, and walked to Chen Beiwu's side, completely unconcerned about the departure of the Five Qi Vine.

"Junior Chen, your seven-tailed purple fox..." At this point, her voice changed slightly, becoming more charming and innocent, "Can I hug it?"

Upon hearing this, the seven-tailed purple fox, which had been dozing on Chen Beiwu's shoulder, perked up its ears, its seven tails fanned out, and stared fiercely at Ye Xinya, revealing an expression that said, "If you dare touch me, I'll bite you to death."

"Oh my, even fierce people are so cute."

Ye Xinya's eyes were bright, and instead of backing down, she took a half-step closer as if they were old friends.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox turned its head, and its two paws, carrying a faint milky fragrance, gently stomped on Chen Beiwu's cheek.

"I'm sorry, Senior Ye."

Chen Beiwu's tone was calm, yet carried an air of unquestionable authority: "This little guy has a fiery temper and doesn't like outsiders touching him. Please, Senior Sister Ye, have some self-respect."

As soon as she finished speaking, the seven-tailed purple fox bared its teeth in a rather cooperative manner.

'Oh no, another treacherous minister has joined the master's ranks!'

Upon seeing this, Jin Dan's expression became extremely solemn.

In terms of strength, it is not afraid of the seven-tailed purple fox and can fight ten of them.

But when it comes to being cute and charming, it seems to be miles ahead of the seven-tailed purple fox cub.

"Are you just going to watch the newcomer swagger around like this?" Golden Egg looked at Iron Egg and transmitted his thoughts.

"What? What?" Tie Dan looked up in surprise.

Any questions?

Whether it's contracting the Five Qi Vine or the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, it will unconditionally support any decision made by Chen Beiwu and will not influence its master's judgment.

'What a brilliant example of striving through inaction!'

Jin Dan was taken aback at first, but then realized what was happening. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he wrapped his body around Chen Beiwu's neck, pretending to be wearing a three-headed dragon necklace.

Not competing is competing; it will use this tactic too.

Ye Xinya chuckled lightly, unconcerned by Chen Beiwu's coldness: "Why don't you pursue the Five Qi Vine, junior?"

As the Five Qi Vine departed, Mo Qingshuang, Yu Zhaohua, and the others followed the traces it left behind, unwilling to give up easily.

"I don't want to waste time," Chen Beiwu replied casually.

“That’s true. Since Junior Brother has gained the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox’s approval, he naturally doesn’t care about the Five Qi Vine,” Ye Xinya agreed.

"Why isn't the senior pursuing her?" Chen Beiwu asked indirectly.

"It's just a puppet clone, nothing worth chasing."

Ye Xinya looked at Chen Beiwu with a half-smile, and was somewhat surprised to see that the latter's expression remained unchanged.

"Did you notice it too, junior?" she asked tentatively.

"Senior sister has a discerning eye." Chen Beiwu neither denied nor admitted it.

The prodigies of the Immortal Sect are indeed extraordinary, with extremely high standards.

He judged that the Five Qi Vine was a clone puppet based on its luck, but I don't know how Senior Sister Ye figured it out.

Little did Ye Xinya know that she was also inwardly sighing: 'This person is truly troublesome. No wonder he rose from humble beginnings to achieve the Flawless Foundation Establishment stage and made significant progress in comprehending the Primordial Elixir Technique.'

Despite her complaints, Ye Xinya grew to appreciate Chen Beiwu's personality even more after this encounter.

Unfortunately, the opponent rose too quickly, and she had already lost the opportunity to invest in advance. Even her own Yao sister couldn't hold onto such a prodigy.

……

Watching Ye Xinya's departing figure, Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air.

The prodigies of the True Venerable Clan are not to be trifled with. The legitimate daughters who can stand out from them seem to have amazing talents, are incredibly beautiful and innocent, and are a very tempting source of wealth.

In reality, it's extremely troublesome; once you're involved, there's no escaping it.

"Fellow Daoist Lei Peng, please continue to lead the way."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc cried out and transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing forward.

Holding the seven-tailed purple fox tightly, Chen Beiwu activated the Immortal Alliance's treasured technique, [Cangming Treading the Void], which was somewhat similar to the Soaring Waves and Stepping on the Void, and followed closely behind the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.

Soon, as the last cultivator's escape light disappeared, the chirping of insects in the forest resumed, and the silence was broken.

The next second, a section of purple-gold vine silently emerged, revealing a small five-colored flower at its tip.

"Om."

The petals slowly opened, revealing a delicate and slender little fairy inside.

"Na."

Wu Qi Teng gazed silently in the direction Chen Beiwu had left, his expression complex.

It usually complains about the lack of ambition of the monsters in the Jade Purity Mountains, saying that these monsters are incredibly foolish for abandoning their freedom and willingly becoming bound by human cultivators in order to improve their cultivation, bloodline, resources and future.

But when it met Chen Beiwu, it realized just how terrifying and alluring the tremor deep within its bloodline truly was.

Its intuition told it that if it could successfully form a co-cultivation contract with Chen Beiwu and use his cultivation to refine the Five Elements Treasure Light, it would not only be easy to advance to the level of a Creation Beast in the future, but even the possibility of its bloodline returning to its ancestral form and becoming another Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree would not be an unattainable dream.

As long as it can help Chen Beiwu form the Primordial Golden Core, and then advance step by step to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, the Divine Transformation True Venerable, and even further.

'To...conclude a contract with him?'

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Five Qi Vine shook his head violently.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even if it remains a fourth-level demon king for its entire life, unable to make any progress in its cultivation, it will not give up its dream of planting a forest full of 'Five Qi Forests' in order to revert to its ancestral bloodline and become a fellow beast of a human cultivator!
