Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 323 Primordial Dao Artifact
After putting away the jade slip, Chen Beiwu looked at the female cultivator in red.

Being able to cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage in the Southern Wilderness and build a team of Tribulation Cultivators, Zhao Wuyan's insight and reaction are indeed far beyond those of ordinary cultivators.

But those who commit murder will always be killed.

The reason the other party is kneeling and begging for mercy now is not because they know they were wrong, but simply because they are afraid of dying.

'However, such a dense aura of calamity is worth taking some of; it might come in handy later.'

Chen Beiwu raised his right hand and gently pointed in the direction of the red-clad female cultivator.

This finger strike was silent and without light or brilliance, without even mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, yet the red-clad female cultivator's expression changed drastically.

Having witnessed the deaths of her second and third sisters, she did not think Chen Beiwu's finger strike was anything extraordinary; on the contrary, she felt a great terror between life and death.

Zhao Wuyan's fear instantly transformed into a desperate madness!

Since this Golden Core cultivator is unwilling to spare her life, she will destroy her spiritual artifact and self-destruct her Dao foundation to splatter his blood.

However, in the face of absolute power, all resistance is meaningless.

As Chen Beiwu pointed his finger down, the red-clad female cultivator's spirit and energy vanished, and the magical power that had erupted to its peak within her body also subsided at this moment, without even causing a ripple.

'Robbery!'

The entire process of seizing the calamity energy was very simple, taking only a blink of an eye.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu used the power of the Nine Breaths Absorption Technique to forcibly extract nearly a fourth-order calamity energy from Zhao Wuyan and send it deep into the Nine Breaths Chaos Treasure.

As for the other half of the calamity energy, it slowly dissipated into the world with Zhao Wuyan's death.

Realizing the fate of the woman in red, Li Senyi touched his forehead to the ground, not daring to speak.

"Na."

Five Qi Vine jumped off Chen Beiwu's shoulder, picked up Zhao Wuyan's storage ring, and then looked at Li Senyi.

This guy has an aura that it utterly loathes.

boom!
Countless vines rose from the ground, binding Li Senyi like a mummy and hanging him upside down in the air.

"Spare your life!"

Before Li Senyi could finish speaking, the Five Qi Vine clenched its small hand, and the overwhelming vines exploded, revealing a perfectly intact storage ring that slowly fell to the ground.

"Hey." (Everyone who sees this gets a share.)
Picking up the storage rings, Wu Qi Teng weighed the two rings in his hands, carefully put away the heaviest one, and then handed Li Senyi's storage ring to Jin Dan and Tie Dan.

Iron Egg was not interested in this, while Golden Egg activated its divine sense and took out the items from the storage ring in one go.

"Om."

Looking at the various spirit stones, spiritual materials, pills, and jade slips scattered on the ground, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at a black banner about the size of a palm.

This black banner is made of human skin, with eighteen mummified fetal corpses inlaid on its surface. It moves without wind, emanating an extremely dense aura of resentment and bloodlust. It is a kind of vicious and evil formation in the demonic path, called the Mother-Child Corpse Infant Formation.

'No wonder the little guy is so bloodthirsty.'

Chen Beiwu flicked his finger, directly crushing the black banner with his Primordial True Qi.

……

Meanwhile, millions of miles away in the Biyuan Mountains, in the no-man's-land on the edge of the Shanyan Realm.

A perpetual lamp flickered with a ghostly green flame, illuminating the ancient murals on the surrounding walls.

Below the mural, a cultivator dressed in a black Taoist robe opens his eyes, revealing a sense of world-weariness.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly and realized that a faint trace of divine consciousness in his sea of ​​consciousness had quietly dissipated.

"Another chess piece is missing."

The black-robed cultivator smiled calmly, his expression completely unwavering.

Over the years, he has laid out dozens, if not hundreds, of chess pieces in the Earthly Realm.

A trivial chess piece is destroyed, so be it; the black-robed cultivator had no interest in even investigating who was responsible.

Compared to such trivial matters, he was more concerned about the progress of the Taixu Array Sect's ruins development, and...!
Thinking of this, the black-robed cultivator turned his gaze to the center of the cave.

Instead of murals, there was a map of the distribution of mountains, rivers, landforms, and spiritual veins of the Earthly Realm floating there.

At the top of the map are five names marked in bright red: Mirror Moon Palace, Profound Sword Pavilion, Green Wood Sect, Burning Flame Sect, and Heavy Gold Sect.

"That's about it!" Blood Demon True Venerable murmured.

In his previous life, he was a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage, and he had witnessed too many sect alliances, so he knew the true nature of the relationships between cultivation sects.

To put it bluntly, the five major sects of the Earthly Realm appear to be closely connected, but in reality, they are merely bound by interests and mutually supportive.

These sects may be united against external forces in normal times, but when it comes to critical moments where their interests are at stake, they will mostly harbor their own agendas.

'Although my cultivation has only recovered to the late Nascent Soul stage, far less than a fraction of my former strength, my divine sense from that time was still enough to subdue some cultivation families and sects.'

The Blood Demon True Lord calmly assessed his own strength, but still had no intention of revealing his true form.

The five major sects of the Earthly Realm have a long history, and even though there is no longer a Nascent Soul True Venerable in charge, they are still not to be underestimated.

Otherwise, even if he were a True Immortal cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, he might still meet a tragic end.

Back then, the leader of the Wanyou Sect was too arrogant. He believed that no one could rival the Earthly Realm cultivators who had not reached the Divine Transformation Realm. He then joined forces with a group of evil cultivators to forcibly ascend the mountain gate of the Burning Flame Sect.

As a result, the True Monarch of the Burning Flame Sect used the sect's resources to forcibly refine him to death with the Great Sun True Flame, leading to the spread of false news in the Earthly Realm that the Burning Flame Sect had a reclusive Divine Transformation True Venerable in charge.

Thinking of this, the Blood Demon True Venerable stared at the map with a mocking look in his eyes.

What a joke! How could he not know whether there are any Nascent Soul True Venerables within the Earthly Origin Realm?

If a native Divine Venerable truly emerges in the Earthly Evolution Realm, the gathering of the Three Flowers at the top of the head will inevitably trigger the rules of heaven and earth; it is impossible for it to be without any signs.

Moreover, the ancient cataclysmic calamity swept across the entire Southern Wilderness Region. As one of the main battlefields, the Earthly Realm suffered the most severe impact and damage. Even the rules of heaven and earth were altered as a result, the Daoist essence continued to dissipate, and powerful cultivators gradually withered away.

Ten thousand years ago, the incomplete and flawed Dao of Creation in the Earthly Realm could still help a Nascent Soul True Monarch break through to become a Divine Transformation True Venerable.

However, in this era where spiritual energy is still available but the Daoist principles of creation in heaven and earth are scarce and fragmented, the Earthly Realm is now an extremely barren land.

A True Monarch cultivator who follows the proper path could never break through to become a Nascent Soul True Venerable.

Unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch is willing to risk traveling to the other three realms of the Southern Wilderness, snatching food from the jaws of a Divine Transformation True Venerable, and absorbing the Dao essence of creation to break through.

Alternatively, one could emulate the leader of the Wanyou Sect and take the evil shortcut of plundering all living beings and defying the heavens to achieve a breakthrough, thus having any hope of breaking through to the Godhood realm.

The former is extremely difficult. The chances of a Nascent Soul cultivator from one of the five major sects winning against a True Immortal of the Divine Transformation realm after leaving their sect and going to another realm are almost zero. It is no exaggeration to say that they are doomed to die.

Otherwise, the five patriarchs of the Earthly Realm would not have stopped at the Perfect True Monarch level.

The Blood Demon True Lord chose the latter.

All he needs to do is find and activate the [Refining Life and Transforming Qi Three Flowers Gathering Truth Array] passed down from the Taixu Array Sect, and he can use the array as a foundation to bypass the gates of the five major sects, sacrifice blood to the Earthly Evolution Realm, and absorb the essence, energy, and spirit of all living beings to attempt to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, using the Refining Life and Qi Three Flowers Gathering Truth Array to refine a realm is a huge undertaking.

Resources, spiritual veins, manpower, and strong individuals are all indispensable. Moreover, the five major sects of the Earthly Realm cannot stand by and watch him sacrifice all living beings.

With this thought in mind, the Blood Demon True Venerable slowly closed his eyes.

As a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage, he has no shortage of patience.

The grand scheme of the Earthly Realm has only just begun!
……

At the entrance of Biyuanfang Market.

Looking at the endless stream of people around him, Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence. He then urged Cangming Stepping on the Void and headed straight for the Star-Turning Palace teleportation array.

"Greetings, Daoist Master." Upon seeing the Daoist Master's token, the square-faced cultivator guarding the teleportation array immediately bowed respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the guards behind him knew that an important person had arrived, and they all bowed and paid their respects, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"No need for formalities, please activate the teleportation array to the sect for me." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly.

"Buzz!"

Soon, as the teleportation array glowed, Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the square-faced cultivator did not hesitate and immediately took out a communication talisman to report to the sect.

There was no way around it; he was just too eager to improve!

The sect has decreed that whoever discovers and reports news of the Dao Child first will be rewarded with a third-tier precious pill, the Golden Palace Pill.

On the other side, the spatial ripples dissipated.

Chen Beiwu stepped down and happened to see a familiar figure, Zhu Shaoyuan, who had just received a notification from his subordinate.

"Greetings, Master. Congratulations on your further advancement in cultivation and attainment of the position of True Monarch."

Chen Beiwu stepped forward two steps and bowed respectfully according to the proper etiquette.

"Zi'ang, you've successfully formed your core?"

Zhu Shaoyuan's gaze was fixed on Chen Beiwu, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

what's the situation?
He had the strange feeling of facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch directly in this fourth disciple.

No, that's not right. This feeling is more subtle, and it even gave Zhu Shaoyuan a sense of invincibility!
It should be noted that he had been in seclusion for many years. With the merit of killing the Golden Core cultivator of the Heavy Gold Sect, he received a fourth-order Nascent Soul Profound Pill as a reward from the sect. With the help of the sect's secret techniques, he went through many hardships before finally taking that crucial half-step, refining the Golden Core to its limit, and nurturing a phantom Nascent Soul prototype in his Purple Mansion.

Next, he only needs to continue to accumulate experience for another thirty years, and with the help of the Nirvana Infant Secret Technique and the power of the Profound Pill, he can complete the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul Condensation and officially enter the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Shaoyuan's cultivation level has now far surpassed the Golden Core Perfection stage, making him a veritable half-step True Monarch, invincible among Golden Core cultivators.

However, Zhu Shaoyuan could vaguely sense the difference in strength between his four disciples.

It's not that he's stronger than his disciple, but rather that his disciple is stronger than him!
This incredible discovery immediately silenced Zhu Shaoyuan.

"I succeeded by sheer luck," Chen Beiwu said with a modest smile.

He didn't need to be too high-profile in front of his master.

"The path of cultivation is a series of steps leading to different realms, all of which depend on one's own accumulated foundation. There is no room for luck, especially in the Golden Core path."

Zhu Shaoyuan shook his head, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Beiwu, and transmitted his thoughts through divine sense: "Zi'ang, have you formed the Taiyi Golden Core?"

There are different levels of the Golden Elixir.

Even if a Golden Core cultivator achieves the highest level of cultivation in the Southern Wilderness, a mere Golden Core cultivator cannot pose the slightest threat to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Only the legendary, flawless, and truly unified supreme elixir might have the potential to achieve this.

"It's not the Taiyi Golden Elixir." Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.

Zhu Shaoyuan was taken aback upon hearing this. If it wasn't the Taiyi Golden Elixir, then what kind of Golden Elixir was it?
Before he could ask any more questions, Chen Beiwu explained, "This disciple named it the Primordial Golden Elixir."

Zhu Shaoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze toward Chen Beiwu was filled with surprise.

What a grand vision, and what profound cause and effect!
What is the Primordial Beginning? It is the origin of the Tao, the beginning of all things.

The fact that Zi'ang dares to use this name to represent the Golden Elixir suggests that his cultivation of the Golden Elixir is no less advanced than that of the Taiyi Golden Elixir.

Sensing the curiosity in his master's eyes, Chen Beiwu stirred his thoughts and drew upon the immense primordial true qi within his body.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a primordial Daoist aura, containing the power of creation and the ability to generate all things, surged from Chen Beiwu's body.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent Primordial Golden Core! You have surpassed your master!"

Sensing the terror of this primordial metal element, Zhu Shaoyuan spoke frankly.

He named his own path and paved his own way. Such an achievement is unprecedented in history!

Even though Zhu Shaoyuan considered himself exceptionally talented, he had to admit that Chen Zi'ang's talent far surpassed his own.

"Let's go, let's go see the Ancestor now," Zhu Shaoyuan said impatiently.

He has nurtured such a prodigy for the sect, so he must obtain another Nascent Soul Pill.

"Master, please wait a moment."

Chen Beiwu suddenly felt a strange call and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Rumble!
Just then, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed.

Above the Mirror Moon Sect, the once cloudless sky suddenly burst forth with rolling purple mist, stretching for 30,000 miles, forming a misty, auspicious purple cloud.

"Roar!"

As the dragon's roar resounded, an ancient, primordial, and supremely terrifying pressure swept across the entire Mirror Moon Sea.

Upon hearing this sound, all the Mirror Moon disciples, regardless of their cultivation level, subconsciously stopped what they were doing. Their minds were overwhelmed by the pressure, and they all looked up, dumbfounded, at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"what is this?"

"Golden lotuses emerge, purple clouds form—could it be that the sect's patriarch is breaking through?"

"Hiss, my cultivation bottleneck has actually loosened!"

Sensing the effects of the unusual phenomenon, some talented disciples quickly sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.

Jingyue main peak, Elder Hall.

The five Golden Core elders were also alarmed, and their figures instantly appeared in the plaza outside the hall, looking up at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"Auspicious purple clouds stretching 30,000 li from the east? This is an omen of the birth of the Refining Void Dao Venerable!" Elder Zheng Qianwei exclaimed incredulously.

"Could it be that our sect has a reclusive Daoist master cultivating in seclusion?" Second Elder Yu Shuxian speculated.

Upon hearing this, all the Golden Core cultivators were speechless, and their gazes all turned to the Second Elder.

That's really daring!
Let alone a Refining Void Dao Venerable, even if a sect had a Nascent Soul True Venerable in charge, it could probably unify the five major sects of the Earthly Evolution Realm, and even contend for supremacy in the Southern Wilderness.

This strange phenomenon is most likely due to an unusual movement in the sect's foundation!
……

Deep within the Taiyi Palace.

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face sat upright within the Five Elements Spiritual Mist.

"what?"

Upon noticing the unusual phenomenon at the Mirror Moon Sect, Zhu Wuyai's eyelids twitched slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Strange, the Primordial Dao Artifact, which has been passed down in the sect for hundreds of thousands of years, has been dormant. Why is it suddenly making such a move? Could it be a warning of an invasion by an external enemy?
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyai moved his divine sense and "looked" at the core foundation of the sect's great formation.

But the findings of this investigation were beyond Zhu Wuyai's expectations.

Unlike before, the extremely precious Primordial Dao Artifact was no longer lifeless; instead, it revealed a trace of indescribable excitement and joy.

"The vessels of the Dao possess spirits; they choose their masters to dwell within."

Recalling the records in ancient books, Zhu Wuyai swallowed hard, his heart pounding wildly.

'Could it be that the sect's hidden strength has awakened on its own today... and wishes to acknowledge me as its master?'
