Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 310 Jade Void Reaching the Summit
At the main peak plaza of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, a sea of ​​clouds blankets the ground, and cranes soar and gather.

In the center of the square, a towering jade wall, seemingly connected to the sea of ​​clouds, stands majestically.

This jade disc is warm and smooth all over, and it is unknown what kind of precious jade it is made of. It emits a faint seven-colored glow. It is the Jade Void Ranking, which is famous throughout the Immortal Alliance and gathers the names of countless geniuses from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

The Jade Void Ranking is engraved with a series of brilliant names from top to bottom.

It is no exaggeration to say that every individual who has made their mark on the Jade Void Ranking is a renowned and powerful figure from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

However, even among geniuses, there are differences in skill level.

The lower down the Jade Void Ranking, the dimmer the brilliance of the names, and the ranking numbers often change.

Conversely, the higher up the Jade Void Ranking a name is, the more dazzling and brilliant its radiance becomes.

In particular, the three names at the very top of the Jade Void Ranking are like the sun shining brightly in the sky, remaining unchanged for a long time. They are the undisputed pinnacle among the current generation of geniuses of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

First on the Jade Void Ranking: Shen Lingxing, Golden Core Perfection

Second on the Jade Void Ranking: Yu Zhaohua, Mid-Golden Core Stage
Third on the Jade Void Ranking: Mo Qingshuang, late-stage Golden Core cultivator
Fourth on the Jade Void Ranking: Xue Tianyi, Peak Golden Core Stage
Fourth on the Jade Void Ranking: Ye Xinya, late stage of Golden Core.

……

Every time they see the top ten names on the Jade Void Ranking, most of the immortal students passing by the Jade Purity Main Peak Square can't help but stop and fantasize.

"Look, Senior Sister Ye's name is lit up again, and she's now firmly in fifth place!" a sect student whose cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining Beyond Limit exclaimed excitedly.

Several students from the sect immediately gathered around, their eyes filled with longing.

Only one beautiful female cultivator had a complicated look in her eyes, her gaze fixed on Ye Xinya's name, filled with envy.

For cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, the importance of companion beasts is self-evident; a suitable companion beast is even more important than innate spiritual root aptitude.

Ye Xinya is a typical example of this.

Fourteen years ago, Ye Xinya was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and could only rank seventy-ninth on the Jade Void Ranking.

However, the other party was fortunate enough to gain the approval of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast upon entering the Jade Purity Mountain Range. Now, he is a renowned and powerful genius of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Just then, the three characters that once held the top spot on the Jade Void Ranking and shone the brightest suddenly dimmed and fell to second place.

The other name quickly rose to the top with an air of supreme dominance, hovering steadily at the very top of the Jade Void Ranking, radiating endless brilliance.

In an instant, the murmurs ceased abruptly, and the entire main peak square fell into silence.

All the cultivators of the Immortal Sect were captivated by the name that had suddenly appeared, a name that stood above all other geniuses.

[Jade Void Ranking No. 1: Chen Beiwu, Late Golden Core Stage]

"hiss."

One of the students reacted and instinctively gasped, completely breaking the silence of the square.

"What happened? Senior Shen lost?" a cultivator asked in surprise.

"No, impossible! How could Senior Shen possibly lose!"

As the chief disciple of the Immortal Sect and ranked first on the Jade Void Ranking for many years, Shen Lingxing naturally attracted many followers.

Upon hearing this outrageous statement, the supporters couldn't help but immediately retort: ​​"Even if Chen Beiwu has forged the Primordial Golden Core, he's only at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm. Senior Shen, on the other hand..."

One of the students shook his head and suddenly interrupted, "How can there be an invincible genius in this world! If Senior Shen didn't lose, how do you explain his drop in the Jade Void Ranking?"

"This……"

Some of the immortal students who felt indignant for Shen Lingxing were speechless.

As everyone knows, the ranking rules of the Jade Void Ranking List are never wrong.

"Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's not necessarily a bad thing that Senior Shen lost."

Upon hearing this, the other students looked on in astonishment at their companion who had uttered such outrageous remarks.

If they remembered correctly, this female cultivator in pink had always regarded Senior Shen as her goal and pursued him; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a die-hard fan.

Noticing the gazes around her, the pink-clad female cultivator said with a wry smile, "Think about it, Senior Chen has formed the legendary Primordial Golden Core!"

"Throughout history, how many Golden Core prodigies have been qualified to fight against the one who forged the Primordial Golden Core? And how many are worthy of being defeated by the Primordial Golden Core?"

The pink-clad female cultivator's words were like a morning bell and evening drum, causing some indignant immortal students to pause in surprise and fall into deep thought.

Yes, the Primordial Golden Elixir cannot be judged by ordinary standards. It seems that losing to such a prodigy is not shameful.

Even the immortal student who initially said "Senior Shen could not possibly lose" calmed down and felt that what the pink-clad female cultivator said seemed to make some sense.

Even though Senior Shen was defeated by the Primordial Golden Core, he lost with great dignity.

After all, even the innate Dao Body couldn't shake Senior Shen's position as the chief, and could only rank second in the Jade Void Ranking. Now, he has even fallen to third place on the Jade Void Ranking.

For a moment, the entire main peak square fell into an eerie silence.

Unlike the Immortal Students who had been in the sect for many years, the vast majority of the sect students had slightly bright eyes, their gazes fixed on Chen Beiwu's name.

He can replace it.

Chen Beiwu cultivated the Primordial Golden Elixir within seventeen years of joining the sect, defeating the contemporary chief to become the number one on the Jade Void Ranking.

They might very well follow Chen Beiwu's example and accomplish this feat in the future!

Noticing the expressions on the faces of the sect students present, the immortal students exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.

Youth is wonderful. Without being thoroughly tested by top geniuses in terms of talent, aptitude, combat power, and comprehension, these young kids have no idea what it means to be arrogant and ignorant!
Thinking of this, they shook their heads, took out their phones, and pointed them at the Jade Void Ranking.

It's rare for the top spot on the Jade Void Ranking to change hands, so it would be a waste not to take a picture and post it on QQ Moments or upload it to the Immortal Sect's official website.

……

Qiyun Residence, a cave dwelling of Mount Yiyue.

A beautiful female cultivator, dressed in flowing, shimmering robes, sat cross-legged on a crimson jade lotus platform with her eyes closed.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, his phone vibrated at his waist, and a message entered his mind.

Yu Zhaohua, who had been in seclusion for arduous cultivation, opened her eyes, and the flame-like Dao patterns in them slowly dissipated.

"Did Shen Lingxing lose?" she murmured, her expression complicated.

Yu Zhaohua was not surprised by this result.

As the chief disciple of the Immortal Sect, Shen Lingxing had long harbored the idea of ​​stepping down from his position and going into seclusion to attempt to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch. If he were to find a suitable successor, he would even deliberately give up his position.

Although Yu Zhaohua won that battle, it was only a narrow victory over a five-elemental clone, which could not be considered a victory over the chief disciple of the Immortal Sect. Therefore, he politely declined Shen Lingxing's suggestion to create momentum and his invitation to take over.

The sudden change in the top ranking of the Jade Void Ranking can only be attributed to two possibilities.

First, Chen Beiwu won fairly and squarely, gaining Shen Lingxing's recognition with his absolute strength.

Secondly, Shen Lingxing deliberately let Chen Beiwu off the hook, believing that Chen Beiwu was a genius and qualified to inherit the top spot on the Jade Void Ranking, and chose to step down and give way to a more worthy successor.

Upon thinking of this, Yu Zhaohua's eyes narrowed slightly, and her flowing robes moved without any wind.

Obsessively dwelling on the process and speculating about the reasons demonstrates a lack of willpower and is also a sign of weakness.

For her, neither possibility matters; the only thing that matters is strength.

Although Chen Beiwu's Primordial Golden Elixir was unparalleled, her Title Golden Elixir, forged with the Fiery Dao Body, was not so weak that it couldn't even put up a fight.

'Almost there.' Yu Zhaohua slowly closed her eyes, and the light in the cave was instantly swallowed up by her and the Flint Rock Dragon.

After this seclusion ends, she should emerge in her most perfect form and advance to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Then he challenged Chen Beiwu to a duel, won first place in Jade Void, and became the team leader!
……

Yuqing Peaks, a secluded cliff.

The fierce winds of heaven and earth were like knives, sweeping across the rugged rocks, yet they vanished silently before the white-clad swordsman.

"Qiang!"

Sheathing her sword, Mo Qingshuang turned to look behind her and pointed forward with her right hand.

The fierce winds raging at the edge of the cliff suddenly converged wildly at his fingertips, forming an extremely sharp sword thread.

Faced with the sword thread, Shen Lingxing neither dodged nor avoided it, letting the Earth Dragon coiled on his shoulder block it.

"You lost to Chen Beiwu?" Mo Qingshuang said coldly.

"I have indeed lost." Shen Lingxing smiled calmly: "Chen Beiwu is the well-deserved leader of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect this year."

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingshuang stopped looking at Shen Lingxing and slowly closed her eyes. The profound sword intent that resonated with heaven and earth around her became even more condensed and pure.

"So what if you lose? I might not lose. It's still unknown who will take over as team leader."

Mo Qingshuang spoke naturally, as if stating a fact.

Shen Lingxing was not surprised by this.

When the great paths contend, is there any predetermined outcome?
How could a peerless swordsman like Mo Qingshuang be intimidated before the battle even begins, admitting her inferiority, simply because of the defeat of others!

Perhaps in Mo Qingshuang's eyes, he and Chen Beiwu were merely testing stones.

"Chen Beiwu is planning to open a school to teach the Golden Core Dao. Are you interested?" Shen Lingxing smiled.

"My path lies in the sword in my hand, not in the methods of others."

Mo Qingshuang shook her head, turned and left, leaving only this sentence behind.

Watching Mo Qingshuang's figure gradually disappear, Shen Lingxing revealed a knowing smile.

The rumors were indeed true; nine out of ten sword cultivators were madmen obsessed with the way of the sword.

Even though Mo Qingshuang now cultivates the sword path of beast taming, she will not be swayed by the path of others.

However, Shen Lingxing disagreed.

There are three thousand avenues, different paths lead to the same destination.

In Shen Lingxing's eyes, learning from others is not about deviating from one's own path, but about gaining a deeper understanding of one's own path so as to go further on the path of cultivation.

"A wondrous method for forming a core, created by combining the Primordial Elixir Technique, might help me comprehend the mysteries of the Nascent Soul and condense the opportunity of pure Yang." Shen Lingxing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his figure disappeared.

……

Qingming Peak, Danxia Residence.

While the Jade Purity Immortal Sect was making a great fuss about Chen Beiwu's ascension to the top of the Jade Void Ranking and the upcoming commencement of his teachings, Chen Beiwu was having tea with his fellow disciples.

But tea eventually runs out, and after bidding farewell to his senior brother Jiang Chuan and the others, Chen Beiwu returned to Shuiyan Residence.

Taking out the Evergreen Array Pivot, the Heart-Nourishing Pill, and the Extinguishing Origin Talisman, Chen Beiwu entered the Chaotic World with a thought.

"Buzz!"

Looking at the three treasures that showed no signs of spiritual energy, Chen Beiwu nodded in satisfaction.

It wasn't that he was judging others by his own petty standards, but rather that someone was hiding something, and he had to investigate thoroughly.

"Na?"

Wu Qi Teng looked curiously at Chen Beiwu's empty hands.

With its keen senses, it failed to detect when Chen Beiwu had used his storage ring to put the items away.

The next second, the Evergreen Array Pivot appeared in Chen Beiwu's hand, ready to begin setting up the array.

Although the Immortal Alliance's array formation system failed to develop a transparent array plate similar to the Southern Wilderness's array formation system, it did develop many special array pivots that could be used immediately upon plugging in, such as the Evergreen Array Pivot.

This array pivot is extremely mysterious. Even if Chen Beiwu does not have the ability to set up a fourth-order profound array, he can still easily land on the Evergreen Array Pivot by relying on the array set up in advance by his senior brother.

For an ordinary cultivator to achieve this, they would first need to have a senior brother who is a fourth-tier high-grade Xuan Array Master.

"Buzz!"

As the Evergreen Array Core fell, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Water Derivation Residence rapidly increased at a visible speed, eventually settling at the fourth-tier high-grade level, infinitely close to the fifth-tier spiritual vein, but never quite crossing that line.

Yes, that's right, it's at the level of a fourth-grade superior spiritual vein.

Despite being located on the fifth-tier spiritual peak Qingming Peak, the spiritual energy permeating the cave is far from reaching the fifth tier, only reaching the middle grade of the fourth tier.

Of course, this was not because the Jade Purity Immortal Sect was deliberately targeting Chen Beiwu, but because Qingming Peak needed to supply Qingming Cave Heaven and could not maintain the fifth-order spiritual energy at all times, which is why the spiritual energy did not match the grade of the spiritual vein.

Another reason is that an excessively high concentration of spiritual energy can create an invisible pressure over a long period, interfering with the cultivation of Golden Core cultivators and even causing unnecessary burdens on the Purple Mansion that has not yet formed a Nascent Soul, which is not conducive to the refinement of the foundation.

The Evergreen Array Core, gifted by the eldest disciple, takes this into account, perfectly resolving the adverse effects caused by excessively high concentrations of spiritual energy while gathering the spiritual energy of Qingming Peak.

"good."

Chen Beiwu tried circulating the "Primordial Cave True Azure Flower Controlling Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits Immortal Method" and nodded in satisfaction.

Because of the short time he had to study it, although he failed to master the basics of this immortal technique, he gained a lot of insights and understood how to transform the Myriad Laws Returning to the Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book into the Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits Immortal Technique.

The extremely rich fourth-grade spiritual energy within the Shuiyan Residence can save Chen Beiwu a lot of time when switching cultivation techniques.

"Would you like to take Muxin Pill?"

Chen Beiwu picked up the jade bottle, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

Elixirs that enhance comprehension are extremely rare; every pill consumed reduces the available supply.

Just because Senior Sister Su can give away a bottle doesn't mean Chen Beiwu can afford it.

In the Wanbaohui auction list, the Muxin Pill is a third-grade superior treasure pill. A bottle contains three pills, and the price is 50 superior spirit stones, equivalent to 500,000 spirit yuan. Its value is far above that of the Po'e Golden Pill and is equivalent to half a Di Sha treasure beast.

Of course, these two cannot be simply compared.

The Elixir of Overcoming Calamity is available but priceless.

Despite its low price on the Immortal Alliance's official website, it is a precious treasure that ordinary cultivators are not qualified to purchase.

Even if a family with a Golden Core cultivation level uses its connections to buy it, it would still cost more than 100,000 spirit yuan to purchase a single pill.

'Forget it, this pill is too precious. Saving just a dozen days of meditation time is too wasteful. It's better to use it for further advancement and enlightenment.'

Chen Beiwu pondered for a moment, then put away the jade bottle.

After forging the Primordial Golden Elixir, the Nine Breaths Chaos transmitted divine powers again, and with the transformation of the three veins of the Tongcan Beast, even Chen Beiwu himself did not know just how terrifying his comprehension was.

But one thing he was certain of was that he could master the "Primordial True Azure Flower Controlling Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits Immortal Method," which ordinary geniuses might not make progress in even after decades or hundreds of years of study, in less than a month.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a message popped up in the Wanbaohui group chat, catching Chen Beiwu's attention.
