Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 295 Never to Be a Slave
Just as midnight arrived, a full moon hung in the sky.

A line of scarlet blood suddenly appeared on the edge of the originally bright moon, spreading towards the center of the moon at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky turned into a red moon.

The crimson moonlight fell like a thin veil, enveloping the entire Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

"Buzz!"

As the crimson moon shone, five beams of light of different colors began to slowly rise from the depths of the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

These radiant lights, drawn together by the moonlight, gradually intertwined and solidified into a five-colored rainbow bridge spanning the miasma abyss.

The moment the five-colored rainbow bridge took shape, a slight tremor came from beneath Chen Beiwu's feet.

'Finally couldn't hold back anymore!'

Chen Beiwu scanned the five-colored rainbow bridge with his divine sense.

Suddenly, the Five Qi Vine appeared to have taken hold in the center of the Rainbow Bridge.

Its vine body resembles a dragon raising its head, with small flowers on its head blooming with five-colored radiance. It begins to breathe in and refine the magnificent Daoist essence that can only be gathered on the night of the full moon, evolving into many wonders of the five elements, such as the killing power of metal, the longevity of wood, the gentleness of water, the refinement of fire, and the carrying capacity of earth.

"boom!"

Just then, three malevolent energies suddenly erupted near the Five Elements Miasma Abyss and rushed towards the Five Elements Vine.

"Duh!"

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, and his spiritual consciousness surged, forming an invisible and intangible Taixiao Silent Illumination God-Slaying Thorn.

When the divine consciousness stirs, heaven and earth change.

However, the terrifying aspect of the Taixiao Jizhao God-Slaying Thorn lies in its formlessness and intangibility; even a Golden Core cultivator could be instantly killed without realizing it.

"hiss!"

Sensing an indescribable sense of crisis approaching, the Earthfire Scorpion trembled slightly, and a wisp of transparent flame ignited on its seven tail segments.

This flame may seem ordinary, but it is actually the Earth Fire Scorpion's innate and profound ability, [Karma Mirror Fire].

The Karmic Mirror Fire is designed to burn the Three Treasures. Its fiery energy can reverse the flow of energy into the dantian and destroy essence. The flames can also penetrate into the Crimson Palace, scorching the spiritual apertures and corroding the energy. It can also damage the cultivator's primordial spirit, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

However, the Earth Fire Scorpion's Karmic Mirror Fire was no match for Chen Beiwu's God-Slaying Thorn.

"Click."

The two collided, and the Mirror of Karma was instantly annihilated.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the Earthfire Scorpion retreated rapidly, revealing its cracked carapace, and looked at Chen Beiwu with deep apprehension.

"This is just a reminder," Chen Beiwu said calmly.

Although this Earthfire Scorpion is a fourth-order Xuan Beast, it is not a Tian Gang, and its cultivation is only over five hundred years old. In terms of realm, it is equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage.

If Chen Beiwu had intended to kill, his previous move, the Taixiao Silent Illumination God-Slaying Thorn, could have easily taken the life of the Earth Fire Scorpion.

At the same time, the golden egg soared into the air, unleashing the Tri-Phase Indestructible Technique, and head-on confronted a Xuanshan Armor whose entire body was made of jade.

"boom!"

Seeing that the Three-Phase Xuanjiao had taken its Xuantong head-on without being injured, Xuanshanjia's eyes widened, and it instinctively curled up into a ball, transforming into a golden ray of light to create distance and retreat rapidly.

Meanwhile, Tie Dan used the concealment provided by the Sky-Waving Cloak to activate the Shattered Star Biting the Moon technique, biting down on the Three-Eyed Black Monkey's calf.

Among the three malevolent auras, the Three-Eyed Black Monkey was the weakest, with only four hundred years of cultivation. It wasn't even a third-realm demon general, and it was the fastest to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

The moment it was hit, the three-eyed black monkey surrendered.

Tie Dan didn't budge, and glanced at Chen Beiwu.

Only after Chen Beiwu nodded did Tie Dan release the Three-Eyed Black Monkey.

"call out!"

The next second, the Three-Eyed Monkey vanished into the ground, leaving the Earth Fire Scorpion and the Xuan Mountain Armor staring at each other in bewilderment.

Good grief, before you came you said you wouldn't be a good beast if you didn't avenge this, but now that things are going wrong you're the first one to run away!
"Taking advantage of a crisis to cause harm will only bring sins that are hard to atone for." Chen Beiwu glanced at the two beasts. "If you have a grudge against the Five Qi Vine, you can simply come to its door to settle the matter. Why bother using its breathing techniques to launch a sneak attack?"

"hiss."

“Le”.

Both the Earthfire Scorpion and the Xuanshan Armor showed signs of distress.

Are they trying to take advantage of the beasts' vulnerability?

The Five Qi Vine is truly unlike a beast; its puppets are multiplied into countless forms, making them impossible to find on ordinary days, which disgusts them to no end.

With their fathers unable to intervene, they used their connections and went to great lengths to find traces of the Five Qi Vine, but in the end they only managed to capture a few puppets. How could that possibly quell their anger?

"Qiang!"

A flash of sword light appeared, and Mo Qingshuang appeared with her hands behind her back.

He ignored the Earthfire Scorpion and the Xuanshan Armor, glanced at Chen Beiwu, and then at the Five Qi Vine on the Five-Colored Rainbow Bridge, his brows furrowing slightly.

Every time they met, Chen Beiwu brought Mo Qingshuang a little surprise.

If the matter of the Five Qi Vine Contract wasn't so important, he probably would have already succumbed to his fighting spirit and used Chen Beiwu as a test subject.

"Jade Void Demon-Sealing Sword Formation, activate!"

Mo Qingshuang flipped her wrist, and her storage ring flickered with light, splitting into nine sword shadows that nailed into the void, each guarding a direction and emitting a mighty sword cry, completely sealing off this space.

The next second, Yu Zhaohua also rushed out from the depths of the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

'Luckily, I didn't miss it.'

She glanced at the Five Qi Vine, which was focused on breathing in the Daoist energy, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She then flicked her fingertips, and the Xuanlu in her hand transformed into a stream of light that disappeared into the void. Immediately, eight towering pillars rose around the entire Five Elements Miasma Abyss, suppressing this world.

"hiss."

“Le”.

Upon seeing this, the Earthfire Scorpion and the Mysterious Mountain Armor exchanged a glance, both overjoyed.

Hehe, it doesn't really matter if I can't get revenge.

If the geniuses of the immortal sects present can successfully form a contract and take away the Five Qi Vine, that sneaky thief, and restore peace to the world, that would be a joyous occasion.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The dozen or so geniuses from the immortal sects who ventured deep into the Five Elements Miasma Abyss also detected the traces of the Five Qi Vine.

Without the slightest hesitation, they soared into the sky, using the methods provided by their families to give the Five Qi Vine no chance to escape.

In an instant, numerous talented cultivators gathered on the Five-Colored Rainbow Bridge, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and stagnant.

Although the Five Qi Vine is a Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast, in the eyes of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's higher-ups, its status is in no way inferior to that of a Creation Yuan Beast, and may even be slightly superior to it.

Now that the Five Qi Vine is right in front of us, whoever can gain its approval first will gain the attention of the Immortal Sect, and may even be reserved for the position of the Immortal Sect's chief.

In this situation, few talented cultivators were willing to back down and miss the opportunity; they all wanted to be the first to step forward and try to subdue the Five Qi Vine.

Mo Qingshuang took the first step forward, her eyes sweeping over the assembled prodigies: "This stalemate can't go on. How about we determine the order by cultivation level and let those with higher cultivation try first?"

“Cultivation is important, but contracting with a beast is more about fate. I have just started practicing the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique, and my technique is compatible with the Five Qi Vine, so I should be the first to try it out,” Yu Zhaohua chuckled.

"How about letting the Five Qi Vine make its selection first?" another prodigy suggested.

The Five Qi Vine coiled in the center of the Five-Colored Rainbow Bridge, its tendrils swaying gently as it focused on breathing in Daoist energy, observing the contest with a detached eye, though its divine sense would always secretly sweep over Chen Beiwu.

It wasn't just its imagination, but the closer it got to Chen Beiwu, the more it could feel the throbbing deep within its bloodline.

The increase in cultivation and the unprecedented feeling of comfort almost caused the Five Qi Vine to succumb.

'This guy's poisonous!'

The Five Qi Vine quickly shielded itself, no longer daring to secretly spy, unaware that its spiritual fluctuations had never escaped Chen Beiwu's perception.

'The Primordial Elixir Manual truly holds immense appeal for the Five Qi Vine!'

With this in mind, Chen Beiwu stepped forward and suggested, "Since everyone is deadlocked, why not follow the old tradition of the Immortal Sect and decide the outcome through a contest of magic?"

He didn't know why the Five Qi Vine remained wary and unwilling to form a co-existing contract, but there was one thing Chen Beiwu was very clear about.

The strong are respected.

Ultimately, this world is about strength.

If he demonstrates sufficient strength and potential, Wu Qi Teng will most likely change his mind.

Upon hearing this, all the prodigies looked at Chen Beiwu, their expressions changing slightly.

Mo Qingshuang's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. She has also comprehended the fourth realm of swordsmanship, "One Sword Breaks All Laws," which allows her to transcend two minor realms and compete with peak Golden Core cultivators.

If it were a contest of magical arts, almost none of the cultivators present would be confident that they could fight him.

In their eyes, Chen Beiwu's public proposal of this method was undoubtedly an announcement of taking sides, indicating his intention to completely side with Mo Qingshuang.

"No."

One after another, the proud cultivators stood up to object, their eyes fixed on the seven-tailed purple fox on Chen Beiwu's shoulder.

"Junior, you've already gained the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox's approval, why get involved in this mess?" someone advised.

Only Mo Qingshuang and Yu Zhaohua's eyes narrowed, and their gazes towards Chen Beiwu changed slightly.

"Are you sure you want to rank them by combat skills?" Mo Qingshuang raised her eyes slightly and looked Chen Beiwu up and down.

In terms of cultivation and aura, Chen Beiwu is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Does he really think he can defeat him and overpower all the heroes?

"Of course." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly and looked at Yu Zhaohua.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

If the three of them joined forces and pushed the battle forward, the geniuses of the immortal sects present wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Just as Yu Zhaohua was pondering, the strange phenomenon of the crimson moon in the sky ended, and the Five Qi Vine's body turned into a cloud of clear smoke and disappeared, trying to escape this place of trouble.

"Om."

The methods employed by the many prodigies of the Immortal Sect are by no means ordinary.

Even though the Five Elements Vine was born with the Five Elements and was skilled in escape techniques such as Five Elements Transformation, it still couldn't escape outside the Five Elements Miasma Abyss.

"Let's forget about the contest of magic; everyone should rely on their own methods."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Zhaohua's figure flashed and she instantly appeared in front of the Five Qi Vine, fully activating the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Pill Technique.

"Would you be willing to become my companion beast?" Yu Zhaohua decisively extended the invitation.

"Na."

Wu Qi Teng glanced at Yu Zhaohua and refused without hesitation.

The Primordial One is the root of the Dao and the ultimate of the Golden Elixir.

Although Yu Zhaohua used the five internal organs of the human body as a furnace to harmonize the five elements and successfully comprehended the basics of the Primordial Elixir Technique, refining a trace of the 'Innate Ancestral Qi' realm, he was still far inferior to Chen Beiwu.

What is the Primordial Great Completion?

Based on the primordial chaos, without seeking anything external, it gives rise to all the heavens and illuminates the three realms, which is the root of heaven. In this way, one can transcend the three realms and be outside the five elements.

If the Five Qi Vine's perception is correct, Chen Beiwu should have already reached the Great Perfection of the Primordial Pill Technique and could forge the Primordial Golden Pill at any time. He is a peerless genius that the Jade Purity Immortal Sect has seen only once in a thousand years.

Otherwise, the seven-tailed purple fox, whose innate element is earth, would not have set aside its pride and stayed by Chen Beiwu's side, using his primordial energy to cultivate and try to awaken the hidden power within its bloodline.

But in reality, Five Qi Vine guessed wrong!

Chen Beiwu has only cultivated the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Technique to the minor completion stage, and has not yet achieved the Nine Returns and Seven Reversals, or the Nine Revolutions Elixir Formation.

The method that truly reached its zenith and even near perfection was the Five Directions and Five Elders Taiyi Elixir Casting Method, which was extremely compatible with the Jade Purity Nine Revolutions Primordial Elixir Formula.

Upon hearing the reply, Yu Zhaohua showed no surprise.

She possesses a fire-elemental innate Dao body, and the Five Qi Vine contains all five elements, with a preference for wood.

The five elements generate and restrain each other; only wood generates fire, not the other way around.

Even if she had mastered the Primordial Pill Technique, it would have been difficult for her to gain the approval of the Five Qi Vine.

After all, no Celestial Beast would willingly give up its own cultivation and gradually become an appendage of a Celestial Sect's prodigy.

But it doesn't matter. In order to successfully conclude the contract, she specially prepared an irresistible gift for the Five Qi Vine.

"Don't rush to refuse." Yu Zhaohua's storage ring flashed, and a jade box appeared in her hand. "You can take a look at this gift before deciding whether to agree."

The Five Qi Vine piqued his curiosity and looked up.

"Buzz!"

As the jade box slowly opened, the previously uneasy immortal prodigies all fell silent.

The reason is simple: the treasure that appeared in the jade box was not an ordinary fourth-tier mystic medicine, but a nearly transparent five-colored leaf.

Five Qi Vine's eyelids twitched; a throbbing from the depths of its bloodline made it unable to resist the urge to snatch the jade box from Yu Zhaohua's hands.

"The veins of the leaf are like a galaxy, containing the primordial Qi of the Five Elements. The leaf flesh is as transparent as glass, revealing the hidden mountains and rivers, and the rising and falling of the sun and moon. This is the fifth-order creation medicine, 'Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf'!"

Mo Qingshuang's words shocked everyone present.

The cultivators present were all geniuses of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, so how could they not know the great name of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's sect-protecting Dao Tree, the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree?

The Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree is of such high status that it can be compared with the Primordial Dao Beast. Even a single leaf that falls from its branches is an extremely precious elixir of creation, enough to tempt even a Nascent Soul True Venerable.

'To subdue the Five Qi Vine under the Contract, Yu Zhaohua is actually willing to take out such a precious treasure!' The expressions of the geniuses changed slightly.

Some cultivators with ordinary backgrounds couldn't help but swallow hard, realizing at this moment the disparity between people.

No wonder some cultivators on the Immortal Alliance's official website refer to the noble sons and daughters of the Dao Venerable Immortal Clan as Heavenly Immortals.

Cultivating immortality can indeed defy fate and change destiny, but the vast majority of cultivators are nothing more than mayflies in front of the celestial immortals of the Dao Venerable Immortal Clan.

"Using this leaf as a pledge, I can help you break through the shackles of your bloodline. What do you say?" Yu Zhaohua said confidently.

The Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf can enlighten the bloodline of the Five Qi Vine, causing it to transform and evolve into a fifth-order Creation Beast, which in turn nourishes the contracted cultivator's cultivation.

Using the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf on the Five Qi Vine would not only not be a loss for her, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she would win twice.

"Na."

The Five Qi Vine stared intently at the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf, then slowly closed its eyes and shook its head.

The Five Qi Vine will never be a slave!
Once it dares to utter this statement, it will never change, even with the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf before it.

Yu Zhaohua was stunned.

It shouldn’t be!

The current chief of Yuqing successfully subdued the Five Qi Vine by using the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf. How come she failed when it was her turn?
Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu and Mo Qingshuang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Zhaohua lacked martial ethics and chose to sneak away and try to get ahead, but fortunately he failed.

"hiss."

“Le”.

The Earthfire Scorpion and the Xuanshan Armor were also stunned, their minds blank.

No, the Five Qi Vine can even refuse the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf, so why would it secretly target their third-tier treasure medicine?
Isn't this bullying a beast?!
