Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 294 The Five Elements Miasma
Deep within the Yuqing Mountains lies Kurong Mountain.

Two streaks of light landed in front of a giant rift valley filled with colorful poisonous mist, revealing the figure of one person and four beasts.

"This is the Five Elements Miasma Abyss." The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's eyes showed apprehension.

Although it was not afraid of the poisonous miasma permeating the Five Elements Miasma Abyss, it did not want to be tainted by it in the slightest.

The reason is simple: once you get infected, the sweet and fishy smell mixed in with the miasma will leave an odor that is difficult to remove and will linger for days.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Lei Peng."

For safety's sake, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense and discovered that colored poisonous mist was constantly seeping from the exposed rock surfaces around the rift valley.

These intertwined mists formed a poisonous miasma that effectively blocked divine sense, making it difficult for him to explore the depths of the rift valley.

'Huh, someone's already here.'

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly as he looked at a cultivator's figure thirty feet below the cliff.

He stood on a flying sword, and the jade pendant at his waist emitted a faint blue light, keeping out the poisonous miasma within a three-zhang radius around him.

Sensing the fluctuations in divine sense, Mo Qingshuang's eyes flickered slightly, and her sword intent erupted, transforming into invisible flying swords to protect herself and completely isolate her from divine sense probing.

'Such a sharp sword intent.'

Chen Beiwu secretly praised him, then quickly withdrew his divine sense to show that he had no intention of spying.

Seeing this, Mo Qingshuang's sword intent subsided, and she nodded slightly to Chen Beiwu as a greeting before continuing her journey deeper into the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

"Shall we go in?" Golden Egg asked, somewhat eager to try.

The Five Elements miasma that the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc fears to the extreme is nothing more than a sweet treat in its eyes.

Tie Dan, the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc all looked up at Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu closed his eyes slightly and began to deduce the cause and effect of the Taishang Lingbao Yebao Yinyuan Jing.

"Today is only the eleventh, and there are still five days until the full moon. There is no need for us to venture into the miasma abyss prematurely and waste our magical power for nothing."

After speaking, Chen Beiwu flicked his sleeves, and his storage ring flashed with a faint light. Seven array flags emerged one after another, precisely nailing into seven positions.

"rise!"

With a soft shout from Chen Beiwu, the seven array flags simultaneously lit up with spiritual light, connecting with each other to form three layers of light curtain.

The outermost light curtain is light blue, which can conceal the formation and automatically repair its structure.

The middle layer of light screen glows with a pale golden light, which can isolate and disrupt the flow of qi and consciousness.

The innermost light curtain is as transparent as glass, which can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and also provide early warnings.

Soon, the three layers of light curtains slowly intertwined and then disappeared.

Just then, a crimson beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, revealing Yu Zhaohua's figure.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed on a protruding black rock, her gaze slightly narrowed.

"The Three Elements Protective Treasure Formation?" Yu Zhaohua looked at Chen Beiwu, her fingers tightening slightly in her sleeve. "You've already advanced to a third-tier treasure formation master?"

While there are few immortal students in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect who can become third-tier treasure array masters, they are not too rare, so it is not surprising to her.

To Yu Zhaohua's surprise, Chen Beiwu was a fellow student in the same class as her, and was only twenty-two years old.

He reached the peak of Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-two, successfully cultivated the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique, and was also a third-order treasure array master.

With all these prefixes added together, the person before us probably possesses the talent and comprehension to be compared to the extraordinary geniuses of the Five Great Grotto Heavens.

"I'm not yet a third-tier treasure array master," Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.

My family knows their own affairs.

The advanced course on Immortal Level 10 Array Dao of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect has a fourth-level Mystic Array Master as the instructor.

In his spare time, Chen Beiwu would go there to study and relax, gleaning nine-tenths of the true meaning of the array formation master's guidance.

However, the Three Elements Protective Treasure Formation is only a third-tier entry-level treasure formation. His ability to perform this formation only means that he has one foot in the realm of a third-tier treasure formation master.

After all, according to the Immortal Alliance's standards, a true Tier 3 Treasure Array Master needs to master at least three different types of Tier 3 Grand Arrays and improve a traditional Tier 3 Array.

The Immortal Alliance's Treasure Array is already incredibly rare!

Moreover, Chen Beiwu's cultivation focus has always been on the Primordial Golden Core, so he has no time to delve into the cultivation of array formations.

Otherwise, he would have had a chance to break the Immortal Alliance record and become the youngest third-tier treasure array master in the history of Tianyuan Star.

"I see." Yu Zhaohua smiled and took a step towards Chen Beiwu:
"There are still six days until the full moon. Waiting is boring. How about we have a duel of magic and philosophy as a warm-up?"

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

His chance encounters at the library led him to assume that Yu Zhaohua was a cold and aloof person.

Judging from these two encounters, Yu Zhaohua is undoubtedly a battle maniac who will fight any prodigy he takes a liking to.

and many more!

Chen Beiwu suddenly realized.

Yu Zhaohua had never challenged him to a fight during their previous meetings, maintaining his aloof demeanor. Could it be that he felt Yu Zhaohua was too weak to be his opponent, rather than deliberately hiding his true nature?

Regardless of Yu Zhaohua's thoughts, Chen Beiwu politely declined, citing the need for caution.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, our sparring in the Five Elements Miasma Abyss might disturb the Five Qi Vine, causing it to be afraid to show itself. Let’s just forget about it.”

You can practice anytime.

If he misses the Five Qi Vine this time, it will be very difficult for him to find its trace again.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhaohua's eyes betrayed her disappointment, but she did not insist. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she also activated her escape technique and entered the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you really not planning to go in?" the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc asked curiously.

In order to gain the upper hand, Mo Qingshuang and Yu Zhaohua both ventured deep into the Five Elements Miasma Abyss to search for the possible locations where the Five Qi Vine might appear.

Why did Chen Beiwu remain so calm throughout?

"Can't say."

Chen Beiwu smiled and entered the temporary cave dwelling set up by the Three Elements Protective Treasure Array.

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc couldn't help but click its tongue and followed Chen Beiwu into the cave.

It usually dislikes riddle-makers who only say half of what they mean.

However, Chen Beiwu was too powerful, so it couldn't gain the upper hand at all, let alone get him to explain himself clearly.

"Hey."

Upon entering the cave, the seven-tailed purple fox suddenly raised its head and licked Chen Beiwu's cheek with its pink tongue.

Chen Beiwu looked down and found that the little guy tilted his head and the two longest tails quietly hooked around his wrist.

'Are you hungry?'

With a thought, Chen Beiwu took out an original version of the Five-Spice Pill from his storage ring.

The little guy twitched its nose slightly, sniffed it closely, then twitched its ears, turned its head away, and gently pushed the pill away with its tail.

"What, not to your liking?" Chen Beiwu chuckled.

"Eek." (I want milk.)

The little guy whimpered and struggled to tug at Chen Beiwu's clothes with its tail.

"Pfft."

Upon seeing this, Golden Egg couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Noticing Chen Beiwu's sharp gaze, it immediately covered its mouth with its front paws, appearing unmoved.

But the golden egg could only cover one mouth; the other two heads were turned away from Chen Beiwu, their vertical pupils narrowed into crescents, and their mouths turned up in a crazy smile.

Tie Dan twitched his nose slightly, activating his innate profound abilities, intending to search for a third-tier treasure beast nursing its cubs nearby.

"I don't have any milk, have some water instead."

Chen Beiwu took out the Xuanquan water that he had collected in the Tianyan True Realm from his storage ring.

The seven-tailed purple fox was not picky and obediently sat down, sticking out its tongue to lightly touch the mouth of the bottle and tilting it to let out the mysterious spring water, which fell like silver threads.

Looking at this harmonious scene, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

Becoming a fellow beast of the Immortal Sect's prodigies seems like a good option.

Unfortunately, Chen Beiwu didn't take a liking to it. At the same time, deep underground in the simple cave, countless vines slowly spread out, carefully exploring the situation within the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

"Na?"

The Five Elements Vine looked up at where Chen Beiwu was, its velvety vine body shimmering with the flickering power of the Five Elements.

Was it a coincidence, or did it accidentally reveal a flaw, causing its location to be exposed?
Chen Beiwu actually set up an array in the old place where it often absorbed the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and opened up a simple cave dwelling.

"Na."

Five Qi Vine shook its head irritably.

The Five Elements Miasma Abyss covers a vast area and has many spiritual veins suitable for absorbing the Dao of Heaven and Earth. It is not necessary to cultivate in the old place; it is fine to change places.

After much hesitation, the Five Qi Vine suddenly tightened its vines, making up its mind.

It's easy to absorb the Dao of Heaven and Earth in a different place, but for it to move away from Chen Beiwu, isn't that a sign that it's afraid?

It's just meeting once on the night of the full moon.

As long as it remains steadfast in its conviction and refuses to enter into a covenant, no matter how strong Chen Beiwu is, he cannot violate the rules of the Immortal Sect and force it to submit.

'Huh, they didn't leave?' Chen Beiwu's gaze swept almost imperceptibly across the ground.

The Five Qi Vine is hidden very deep within the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

Even with the use of talismans and magical artifacts, Mo Qingshuang and the others found it difficult to pinpoint its location and could only venture deep into the Five Elements Miasma Abyss to search for traces.

But Chen Beiwu was different. He possessed the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power and immediately noticed that something was wrong with this place.

Deep within this region, wisps of purple mist, neither cloud nor rosy, indescribable in words, permeate the air, most likely the hiding place of the Five Qi Vine.

Knowing this, Chen Beiwu did not believe that his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique that allows one to escape from the earth) technique could compare to the Five Qi Vine, which was formed from a branch of his innate spiritual root.

Forcibly venturing underground to search would only drive away the Five Qi Vine; it would be better to observe the situation and wait for the full moon to arrive.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Time passed second by second. While Chen Beiwu was comprehending the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Pill Technique, a dozen or so more genius cultivators emerged from the outer edge of the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

These exceptionally talented cultivators hesitated only for a moment before risking their lives to use their escape light to enter the depths of the miasma abyss.

"Hey."

Inside the cave, the seven-tailed purple fox suddenly pricked up its ears, leaped off Chen Beiwu's shoulder, and ran to the cave entrance, its tail wagging happily.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu did not stop them. With a slight thought, the cave gate opened, and the Three Elements Treasure Protection Formation revealed a path, allowing the seven-tailed purple fox to pass through.

Aren't you afraid it will run away?

Watching the seven-tailed purple fox's figure disappear quickly, the golden-egg dragon narrowed its eyes, its tone puzzled.

“If it wants to leave, I can’t stop it,” Chen Beiwu said with a calm smile.

His purpose in entering Yuqing Mountain was to form a contract with the Five Qi Vine, but the appearance of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox made Chen Beiwu change his mind a bit.

This generation of Five Qi Vine has an eccentric personality and acts strangely. If you really can't gain its approval, the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox is also a good fellow practitioner.

Of course, only children make choices.

If both the Five Qi Vine and the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox are willing to become his contracted beasts, Chen Beiwu will naturally not miss either one.

Tie Dan nodded slightly, showing great faith in his master's charm.

The seven-tailed purple fox definitely won't run away!
On the other side, the seven-tailed purple fox was halfway through its run when it was encountered by a prodigy from a celestial sect.

"Little guy, where's Chen Beiwu?"

Ye Xinya squatted down, looking at the seven-tailed purple fox with a surprised tone.

Could it be that Chen Beiwu has successfully formed a contract with the Five Qi Vine? Otherwise, how could he be willing to let go of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox with its infinite potential?

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox simply chose to go around her, not even bothering to glance at Ye Xinya.

The Heavenly Divine Beast possesses a powerful bloodline and is born with an unyielding spirit.

The fact that the seven-tailed purple fox can fawn over Chen Beiwu doesn't mean that other immortal sect prodigies will treat it with the same respect.

On the contrary, ordinary geniuses are simply not worthy of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox's attention.

"Little guy, why are you so arrogant in front of me?"

Ye Xinya stretched out her right hand and grabbed the seven-tailed purple fox by the neck, wanting to seize the opportunity to rub it.

This seven-tailed purple fox is currently in the bloodline awakening stage and has only been cultivating for a few decades. Even if it is exceptionally talented and can kill ordinary second-level demons with its supernatural power, it cannot shake a Golden Core cultivator in the slightest.

"Eek!" (Mom!)

Noticing Ye Xinya's movements, the seven-tailed purple fox's eyes turned fierce, and it let out a childish angry cry, its figure instantly teleporting a hundred feet away.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xinya frowned deeply.

Good heavens, what kind of drug did Chen Beiwu give the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox?
She was ranked seventy-ninth on the Jade Void Ranking, yet she couldn't even get a kind word from the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox.

boom!
Just then, Ye Xinya's body suddenly stiffened, and a chill ran down her spine.

"Are you bullying my child?"

The Demon King Ziyao gently stroked the seven-tailed purple fox, his voice so gentle it sent chills down one's spine.

Seeing the stunning beauty suddenly appear before her, Ye Xinya wanted to speak up, but found that her golden core in her dantian was sealed and locked, making her unable to move at all.

"For the sake of the Lingyuan Ye family, this is just a small punishment to serve as a warning."

As soon as the Demon King Ziyao finished speaking, ripples spread across the space like water, and Ye Xinya's figure disappeared and was teleported to a distant place.

"Have you had enough fun?" Zi Yao Demon King looked at the cub.

"Eek." The seven-tailed purple fox flicked its tail.

"You heartless little brat, you only think of your mother when you're hungry." Demon King Ziyao shook her head and sighed.

……

Five days later.

The Three Elements Protective Treasure Formation opened, revealing the figure of a seven-tailed purple fox.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox transformed into a streak of purple light and darted onto Chen Beiwu, proudly raising its little head and holding the jade bottle high in its paws.

"Is this a gift for me?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

What a sensible little guy.

A few days ago, the little guy wanted to leave. I thought he missed his parents, but it turned out he wanted to take some gifts with him.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox nodded, its tail curling up triumphantly as it pushed the jade bottle toward Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu scanned the jade bottle with his divine sense and found that he could not detect it, so he took the jade bottle and opened it.

In an instant, a mist as white as jade rose up, emitting an enticing milky aroma, which made Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's mouths water.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly closed the jade bottle and returned it to the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox.

Chen Beiwu appreciated the gift.

He would never do something like taking away a child's food rations.

"Hey?"

The seven-tailed purple fox tilted its head, wondering why Chen Beiwu had refused.

This tastes amazing!
It wouldn't have been willing to share Chen Beiwu if it didn't consider him one of its own.

"Boom!"

Fortunately, at this moment, the poisonous miasma above the Five Elements Miasma Abyss suddenly surged violently.

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed as he looked up at the sky, which was undergoing a dramatic change.

The night of the full moon has finally arrived!
