Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 334 The Demon Ape invites a battle

Above the secluded Water Moon Abode, the moonlight is like a veil.

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he rode down on his golden egg, because there was a figure standing outside the cave.

The newcomer had long, flowing black hair and wore a plain white cross-collar ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). Her eyes were calm, and she was completely different from the heroic female cultivator Chen Beiwu remembered. She was Yu Pan, who had just been released from prison.

"Greetings, Daozi." Yu Pan took two steps forward and bowed.

"What do you want from me?"

Chen Beiwu's gaze swept across the area and landed on the exceptionally beautiful bird perched on Yu Pan's shoulder.

Twenty years have passed, and the little beast cub that was once unassuming and resembled a gray-feathered eagle has now shown some of its power.

Only a vertical gray line on his forehead remained closed, suggesting some underdevelopment.

"boom!"

Golden Egg subconsciously raised its head, and its three vertical pupils locked onto Tianmu Xuanzhi immediately.

It wondered who it was, only to find it was that blind Xuanzhi from back then.

Twenty years have passed, and his cultivation has not improved at all.

Tie Dan raised his head and looked at Jin Dan with considerable surprise.

Strange, although the golden egg usually likes to show off, it doesn't suddenly unleash the pressure of a dragon.

"Na."

Wuqi Teng yawned out of boredom.

Yu Pan was thin and dressed simply, and there was no trace of precious medicine on her. She was probably another cultivator who wanted to become Bei Wu's disciple.

“戾”.

Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the golden egg, Tianmu Xuanzhi took a step back, pressing his body close to Yu Pan, his eyes filled with unease.

"fine."

Yu Pan comforted Xiao Hui for a moment, then looked at Chen Beiwu with a stiff smile: "Daozi once said that he was very interested in the eagles that disciples raise..."

"Violent?"

Upon hearing this, Tianmu Xuanzhi's feathers stood on end, and he looked at Yu Pan in disbelief.

"A gentleman does not take what others cherish; there's no need for that."

Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly and headed straight for the cave.

Back then, his cultivation was shallow, and a third-tier treasure beast cub with the potential to become a Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.

But for Chen Beiwu at this moment, a Tianmu Xuanzhi that has not yet broken free from the shackles of its bloodline is hardly a good contract choice.

The golden egg nodded in satisfaction.

That's right, that's it!
Only the golden egg is Chen Beiwu's most trusted and loyal subject.

Such treasure beasts, whose origins are unclear and who already have a favorite, should not be taken under one's command.

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan raised his head and scrutinized Tianmu Xuanzhi with his eyes.

This Xuanzhi has good bloodline, but its strength is a bit lacking.

But its opinion is not important; what matters is the master's opinion.

If the master says no, then no.

"Na?"

Wu Qi Teng turned its head, its gaze shifting between Yu Pan and Tian Mu Xuan Zhi, before patting Chen Bei Wu's cheek with its small hand.

"What nonsense are you thinking? How could that be!" Chen Beiwu transmitted his thoughts telepathically.

He must be crazy to give the Five Qi Vine to other cultivators.

Wu Qi Teng relaxed.

The cultivators of the Southern Wilderness could betray even their partners who had shared joys and sorrows; it didn't want Chen Beiwu to pick up that bad habit either.

'You refused?'

Yu Pan stood there, stunned, her mind blank.

In order to save her and Tianmu Xuanzhi's lives, Yu Pan had no choice but to be sensible and personally deliver her long-time companion to their door.

Judging from Daozi's reaction, could it be that she misunderstood? Or did she miss the opportunity?

Upon thinking of this, Yu Pan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If she had agreed to Michiko's request back then, would her situation be different now?

Little Grey might become a third-tier Golden Core demon beast, and she might even replace Shu You as the apparent manager of the Beast Taming lineage, with the prospect of reaching the Golden Core stage.

……

Meanwhile, inside the cave.

"Huh?" (Do you two know each other?)
Five Qi Vine approached the golden egg and asked in a low voice.

"It might not recognize me anymore."

Jin Dan smiled calmly, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

The transformation from a plump, golden-scaled creature into a majestic and domineering three-phase black dragon was not a disgrace, but rather a reflection of its origins with Chen Beiwu, which required no concealment whatsoever.

Ignoring the three beasts' idle chatter, Chen Beiwu sat cross-legged on the futon and activated the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Technique.

"Buzz!"

Whether it was Chen Beiwu's imagination or not, after receiving the blessing of the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon position, his efficiency in accumulating fortune through supernatural powers increased several times over.

Soon, as more and more fortune was drawn in, the three golden fortunes accumulated over fourteen years in the chaotic world began to gradually merge, forming a great fortune.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction in them.

Although it wasn't the auspicious red dragon he had envisioned, accumulating a bit of good fortune would still be acceptable.

After all, this is a fortune at the level of a fourth-tier True Monarch.

Whether used to trigger a serendipitous encounter or to enhance Tie Dan with a luck-gathering technique to ensure the stability and safety of Tie Dan's subsequent bloodline evolution, this level of good fortune is a good choice.

After a moment's thought, Chen Beiwu decided not to use this luck for the time being.

With the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon position suppressing the fortune, this great fortune can actually be further improved using supernatural powers until Tie Dan completes the preparation for bloodline evolution.

"Huh?" (What are you trying?)

Five Qi Vine met Chen Beiwu's gaze, its eyes showing curiosity.

The meridian opening ceremony is over, and it's time to uncover the secret Chen Beiwu mentioned earlier.

"Don't rush, I'll take you somewhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu activated the Ten Directions Gate.

……

The True Realm of Heavenly Evolution.

Inside the jade-paved medicinal herb garden.

One person, three beasts, and four figures slowly appeared.

"Na!"

Five Qi Vine's eyes shone brightly as it stared intently at the Myriad Manifestations Mysterious Grass, whose leaves were as green as jade and surrounded by a halo of spiritual energy, not far away. It was quite excited.

Fourth-tier Mystic Medicine!

Moreover, it is a rare and precious herb that has never been found in the Yuqing Mountains.

"Na?"

Wu Qi Teng turned her head, grabbed Chen Beiwu's hands with both of hers, blinked her eyes, and kept acting coquettishly.

"The Myriad Manifestations Herb disperses upon contact and vanishes upon being picked; it cannot be preserved." Chen Beiwu shook his head in refusal.

"Yes!" (I can!)

The Five Qi Vine straightened its chest.

It doesn't know any formations, but it excels at cultivating spiritual plants.

It can do things that ordinary plant masters cannot.

"Hey." (This mystical herb, when placed in the Five Qi Forest, can age and increase its medicinal potency.)
Seeing that Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged, Wu Qi Teng swallowed hard and couldn't help but reveal the secret.

"Forget about the age, how much more potent can you enhance the medicine?" Chen Beiwu asked with interest.

"Na."

The Five Qi Vine extends its ten fingers, representing ten years, and it can increase the medicinal power of the Myriad Manifestations Herb by five points.

"Ten years is too long. How about increasing the potency by two parts per year?" Chen Beiwu bargained.

Five Qi Vine hesitated.

"If it doesn't work out, then forget it." Chen Beiwu shook his head regretfully.

"Sure!" (Deal made!)
Wu Qilin quickly agreed.

"Then it's yours to handle." Chen Beiwu smiled.

The Heavenly Gang Dharma Image is the signature profound and mysterious power of the Nascent Soul True Lord.

Only a few exceptionally gifted Golden Core prodigies who are fortunate enough to consume the Myriad Manifestations Mysterious Grass have the possibility of transforming their Immortal Dharma Body into the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image at the Golden Core Perfection Realm.

Although Chen Beiwu successfully comprehended the Myriad Manifestations Chapter of the Tianyi Beiming Myriad Manifestations Dao Record, he did not intend to rush to forge a Dharma Form at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

The so-called one year was just him deliberately mocking the Five Qi Vine.

If he wants to advance from the peak of the Golden Core stage to the perfect Golden Core stage, he will need at least several decades to refine his Golden Core.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"Tap!" Just as the Myriad Manifestations Mystic Grass was planted in the Five Qi Forest, the Five Qi Vine suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

It suddenly looked up and saw a dark figure walking through the air in the center of the hall.

It was only half a zhang tall, its body was wrapped in dense dark gold chains, its face was covered with a tattered Buddha mask, revealing a pair of deep-set crimson pupils, exuding an aura that was both divine and demonic.

"Hey!" (Watch out!)
Five Qi Vine's fur stood on end, its eyes fixed on the Fighting Demon Ape.

will die!

He will definitely die!

Five Qi Vine trembled slightly, keenly sensing the vast difference in strength between the two sides.

Just then, a hand descended from the sky and gently stroked its head.

"fine."

After offering a word of comfort to Wu Qi Teng, Chen Beiwu turned his gaze to the Fighting Demon Ape.

Every time he saw the Fighting Demon Ape, he had different feelings.

During his Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Beiwu felt that the Battle Demon Ape's aura was both divine and demonic, making it impossible to defeat.

But he couldn't explain exactly how strong the other party was.

Now Chen Beiwu has forged the Primordial Golden Core, and the strength and sensitivity of his divine sense far exceed those of Foundation Establishment. His perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has reached a completely new level.

Even so, Chen Beiwu still couldn't see the difference in strength between the two sides. He could only vaguely sense the endless and powerful blood and energy within the Fighting Demon Ape, like a firefly gazing at the sun.

'Is this the true value of a Creation Beast?'

Chen Beiwu thought to himself, a slight ripple stirring in his otherwise calm mind.

He originally thought that after he forged the Primordial Golden Elixir, he could subdue the Fighting Demon Ape, gain its approval, and inherit the mantle of the Heavenly Evolution True Lord.

In retrospect, he overestimated himself.

While Chen Beiwu was still reeling from the shock, the Fighting Demon Ape also tilted its head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes as it looked at the former.

Good guy.

However, after more than a decade of separation, it was unexpected that Chen Beiwu could bring it such a huge surprise.

The peak of Jin Dan?

No, that's not right!

The quality of the golden elixir qi surrounding Chen Beiwu was ridiculously high, far surpassing the first-grade golden elixir forged by the Heavenly Evolution True Monarch. It was very likely the legendary supreme golden elixir, otherwise it would be impossible for it to generate even a trace of fighting spirit.

It should be noted that it is a True Monarch with over nine thousand years of cultivation, just one step away from becoming a fifth-order Demon Lord.

If an ordinary Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch did not possess a Creation Artifact, he would not even be able to withstand a single round against it.

Even now, with its Demon-Binding Chains binding it and its strength reduced to a mere fraction, it could still easily crush a Nascent Soul True Monarch, let alone a Golden Core True Person.

"Will you fight?"

The Fighting Demon Ape directly challenged them to a duel.

"How can I be considered to have won against you?"

Chen Beiwu did not refuse, but asked curiously.

"Knock me to the ground."

Feeling his heart pounding, the Fighting Demon Ape slowly moved his body, his tone no longer cold.

As True Lord Tianyan said, waiting is indeed meaningful.

After sitting in the Heavenly Evolution Realm for thousands of years, it finally met a worthy opponent.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

This request is outrageous!

The Fighting Demon Ape ranks third on the Immortal Alliance's list of Creation Beasts.

Even in ancient times, among cultivators of the same realm, those who could defeat the Fighting Demon Ape were few and far between, let alone the prodigies of the Southern Wilderness today, whose world has undergone tremendous changes.

A genius like Daozi of the Eight Desolations Sect, who has formed an unparalleled golden core, probably couldn't even make the Fighting Demon Ape take a step back.

Is the Heavenly Lord setting up this test to select a suitable successor?
Instead of indulging in a wicked sense of humor and making cultivators who have entered the true realm understand what despair is?
It wasn't that Chen Beiwu was exaggerating; in a contest between people of the same realm, he suspected that even the Heavenly Evolution True Monarch wouldn't be a match for the Fighting Demon Ape.

"This isn't a good place to fight, let's find another spot."

The Fighting Demon Ape voluntarily left the main hall.

"Na?"

Until the Fighting Demon Ape disappeared, the Five Qi Vine grabbed Chen Beiwu's arm.

crazy?

It had only ever seen a creation beast like the Fighting Demon Ape in the forbidden area deep within the Jade Purity Mountains.

It's no exaggeration to say that such a powerful being could hold its own against a young Primordial Dao Beast for a few rounds, rather than being instantly killed.

"Are you scared?"

Chen Beiwu asked in surprise.

"Na."

Wuqi Teng nodded quickly.

It's not like that silly guy with the golden egg; trying to provoke him won't work.

"I come."

A fierce fighting spirit gleamed in the golden egg's eyes.

After it evolved into the Three-Phase Mystic Dragon, all the opponents it encountered were utterly no match for it.

However, it could still feel an unparalleled sense of oppression from the Fighting Demon Ape.

"Wang."

Tie Dan let out a low roar, and without retreating, decisively chose to fight.

Last time, it teamed up with the Golden Egg to fight the Demon Ape, but the result was a crushing defeat.

This time, it wants to see if it has improved and if it can hold out for a couple more moves!

"Na."

Wu Qi Teng paused, his gaze shifting back and forth between the golden egg and the iron egg.

It doesn't understand!

Given the vast difference in strength between the two sides, why did Jin Dan and Tie Dan still rush to get beaten up?

"If you don't want to participate, you can watch from the sidelines."

Chen Beiwu smiled, having no intention of forcing Wu Qi Teng to accept the challenge.

Numbers are meaningless in the face of the Fighting Demon Ape.

The more fellow beasts he has to fight, the harder it will be for him to defeat the Fighting Demon Ape.

Yes, that's right.

Even though Chen Beiwu understood how terrifying the Fighting Demon Ape's strength was through his aura perception, he still did not give up his desire to win.

……

The scorching sun beat down, and sandstorms raged across the sky.

Chen Beiwu stood in mid-air, facing the Fighting Demon Ape from afar.

"Wang."

With a roar, Tie Dan activated his Fire Escape Technique, transforming into an invisible flame and disappearing.

The Fighting Demon Ape remained expressionless and slowly raised its right hand.

"Buzz!"

Space froze instantly, and Tie Dan's figure was frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

The next instant, a hand chop landed lightly.

"boom!"

Tie Dan's body was struck as if by a heavy blow, turning into a shooting star and falling to the ground, stirring up endless sandstorms.

"Yeah." (I knew it.)

Wu Qi Teng covered his eyes with both hands, not at all surprised by Tie Dan's fate.

Chen Beiwu lowered his gaze and saw the sand pit on the ground slightly arch, from which emerged a dog's head covered in sand and gravel—it was Tie Dan, completely unharmed.

"Wang."

Benefiting from his previous crushing defeat, Tie Dan shook his head and quickly accepted reality.

"Wait a moment."

Glancing at Chen Beiwu, the Fighting Demon Ape clapped its hands together, and the dense dark gold chains on its body suddenly tightened.

The ancient seal script engraved on the surface of the chains lit up, unleashing a domineering power that suppressed all things and imprisoned the source.

In an instant, the unfathomable aura of the Fighting Demon Ape began to decline rapidly, finally settling at the Golden Core Perfection stage, a realm where its cultivation was equivalent to that of the Golden Egg.

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up slightly.

At this moment, although the aura of the Fighting Demon Ape was powerful, it was far less unshakeable and difficult to discern than before.

"let's start."

The Fighting Demon Ape stretched its neck and looked at Chen Beiwu and the golden egg.

Fighting is its instinct and its reason for existence, especially in life-or-death battles between evenly matched opponents.

That is why it must activate the Demon-Binding Chains to suppress its own cultivation and physical body; otherwise, this battle would be meaningless.
