Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 344 The Realm of Law and Heaven
"Senior Brother Chen, how confident are you?"

Ye Xinya was both happy and worried. Disregarding etiquette, she interrupted directly.

The reason for her joy was simple: according to Senior Brother Chen's list of participants, she would have the opportunity to fight and compete with the geniuses of the Thirteen Immortal Sects, instead of becoming a supporting character watching from the sidelines.

Ye Xinya was worried that if she lost, it would bring shame to the Immortal Sect and even affect the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's ranking over the past century.

To put it bluntly, Senior Brother Chen will face significantly more pressure by proposing such a list.

Therefore, Ye Xinya's words to Senior Brother Chen were different from usual; they came from the bottom of her heart and carried a touch of emotion.

Normally, although Ye Xinya didn't say it, according to age and seniority, she should actually call Chen Beiwu "Junior Brother Chen" instead of "Senior Brother Chen".

However, within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, strength and cultivation are the only criteria for measuring status, rather than age or seniority.

As the top-ranked disciple on the Jade Void Ranking, Chen Beiwu's cultivation and combat strength are undoubtedly the best among the current generation of disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Otherwise, a peerless swordsman like Mo Qingshuang, with her aloof and cold personality, would never willingly call Chen Beiwu "Senior Brother Chen."

Yu Zhaohua and the others remained silent, their eyes all fixed on Chen Beiwu, eager to know the answer to this question.

"Ten percent."

Chen Beiwu said calmly.

He dared to make such an arrangement because he had naturally learned about the rules of the Dao Debate Battle beforehand.

Although the preliminary rounds of the Dao Discussion Battle were drawn by lot, in order to avoid strong clashes in the early stages of the competition, the three major immortal sects, Yuqing, Taiqing, and Shangqing, were basically each in their own group, and it was impossible for them to be drawn together.

'100%?'

Upon hearing the answer, Yu Zhaohua and the other three were all somewhat taken aback.

It wasn't that they didn't believe Chen Beiwu's words; on the contrary, it was precisely because they knew the unfathomable depth of Chen Beiwu's strength that they understood how terrifying the weight of a 100% certainty was.

After all, the chief disciples of the ten major immortal sects are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!
Every expert who can sit in the chief position of the Immortal Sect is a top genius who has gone through many selections and fought his way out from countless fellow geniuses.

The cultivation level of Golden Core Perfection is merely the most insignificant label on such a prodigy.

Of course, they also believed that in a one-on-one fight, none of the top ten immortal sect leaders could match Chen Beiwu.

However, the rule of "I am the only one who is supreme" requires Chen Beiwu to face five opponents at once, five well-coordinated Golden Core prodigies from the same sect.

The variables and pressures brought about by this are far beyond those of a one-on-one duel. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages of a celestial sect would probably not dare to claim certain victory.

But Chen Beiwu dared to say he was 100% certain!

'As expected, Chen Beiwu had been hiding his true strength all along.'

Yu Zhaohua's chest rose and fell slightly, and her gaze towards Chen Beiwu was somewhat complicated.

She was clearly the one with the innate Dao Body, and her cultivation progress was so fast that few geniuses could catch up with her, yet she still couldn't catch up with Chen Beiwu.

Xue Tianyi pursed her lips, swallowing the words of objection she had intended to say.

He did want to fight for the Immortal Sect, but Xue Tianyi valued the honor of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and the benefits that honor could bring.

According to inside information from the clan elders, if they can retain their position as the top sect in the Immortal Sect under Chen Beiwu's leadership, they will have a chance to obtain a spot to enter the Dharma Realm.

The Dharma Heaven and Earth Realm is one of the thirty-six minor grotto-heavens of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, and it contains the Heavenly Gang Dao Traces left by the great immortal cultivators of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect throughout the ages.

When a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage enters this place, they can activate their own Golden Core Dao and resonate profoundly with the countless Dao traces inherited from the Dharma Heaven and Earth Realm. They can enter a state of semi-enlightenment, borrow the traces of their predecessors' enlightenment, and combine them with their own cultivation path to condense the nascent Yang Spirit into the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image.

Simply put, the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form is the symbolic and profound power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch who unites with Heaven and Earth, and cannot be mastered by anyone other than a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

However, with the help of the power of the Dharma Realm, cultivators with exceptional talent who have reached the Golden Core stage can skip the Nascent Soul formation process and forge the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image in advance, greatly reducing the difficulty of attaining the Nascent Soul True Monarch in the future.

However, it is not easy for a Golden Elixir True Person to forge the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image ahead of time.

Those who lack the necessary aptitude may gain nothing and waste their opportunities even if they enter the Dharma Realm.

Therefore, the quota for entering the Dharma Heaven Realm is extremely rare. Even disciples of Immortal Sects who are not Nascent Soul True Venerables, and even Golden Core True Persons of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, are not qualified to apply for entry.

Xue Tianyi is a prime example.

Even though he was born into a prestigious family and his cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage, he still needed to bring glory to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect at the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference in order to earn the opportunity to enter the Dharma Realm.

For a peerless genius like Chen Beiwu, who is highly valued by the sect, he probably doesn't even need to apply. As long as his cultivation level meets the requirements, he can naturally enter the Dharma Realm.

"Then let's go with the roster arranged by Senior Brother Chen."

After a moment's hesitation, Xue Tianyi chose to compromise.

"What do you think?" Chen Beiwu glanced at the three of them and asked again.

"can."

Yu Zhaohua, Mo Qingshuang, and Ye Xinya exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

After the discussions concluded, everyone took their leave.

Chen Beiwu took out the Fire-Suppressing Mystic Lamp, which had been sealed and separated from the Azure Flame, from his storage ring and fed it to Tie Dan.

He never did anything meaningless, and he had two purposes in placing himself in the position of Dingding.

Firstly, it provides teammates with opportunities to hone their skills and improve, as well as to understand their opponents, in order to prepare for the upcoming tournament.

Secondly, it was to better spread the method of the Hatsudan, since he himself was the best advertisement for the Hatsudan method.

Nothing could make the prodigies of the Thirteen Immortal Sects understand the power of the Taiyi Foundation-Laying Mystic Method more easily than defeating five opponents at once.

In this way, even if only 30% of the geniuses are willing to understand, comprehend, and inherit the Taiyi Foundation Method, Chen Beiwu's fortune and status will be qualitatively improved by leveraging the power of the Nine Breaths Breath Absorption Divine Power.

……

The two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tianyan Immortal Sect, at the summit of Luoxia Peak.

The massive circular arena is built of volcanic rock and protected by layers of array formations and restrictions. Even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch were to fight here, he would not be able to shake the defensive barrier surrounding the arena.

Even before the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference officially began, the audience seats outside the dueling arena were already bustling with noise.

"Buzz!"

When an elderly man with white hair and beard, and a ruddy complexion like a baby, stepped through the air and appeared instantly above the dueling platform, the clamor of voices momentarily subsided.

"Thanks to the kindness of fellow immortal sects, this Immortal Sect Exchange Conference is hosted by my Tianyan Immortal Sect."

"I am Feng Binhan, and I am honored to serve as the Deputy Minister of the Faculty of the Tianyan Immortal Sect, responsible for presiding over the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference."

"The purpose of this Immortal Sect Exchange Conference is to exchange ideas and learn from each other to make progress together. We hope that the outstanding talents of all sects will fully demonstrate their knowledge and prove their own path."

"Ado."

Feng Binhan waved his sleeve and announced: "This year's Immortal Sect Exchange Conference is officially beginning. Please invite the leaders of the Yuqing, Taiqing, Shangqing and Jiuxiao Immortal Sects to come up on stage to draw lots."

The rules for the preliminary round of the Dao Debate Battle are very simple: the leaders of the top four immortal sects from the previous exchange meeting will draw lots to determine the four groups, A, B, C, and D.

Groups A, B, and C are each guarded by one of the three major immortal sects, and there are three teams from these sects, making advancement quite difficult.

Group D does not have the support of the three Immortal Sects, and there are four Immortal Sect teams, making advancement relatively easy.

Immediately, the four groups A, B, C, and D held a round-robin tournament within their respective groups. The two immortal sects with the highest winning points in each group were promoted, thus determining the eight immortal sects.

As for the five eliminated immortal sects, they will have a chance to revive in a resurrection match. They can challenge the immortal sects that have entered the top eight. If they win, they will take their place and obtain a spot in the top eight. If they lose, they will be eliminated and compete for the ranking of the remaining spots after the top eight.

In this way, all the immortal sect teams that can enter the top eight through the preliminary rounds are strong, with little element of luck involved.

In an instant, a figure emerged from the direction of each of the four immortal sects and landed on the dueling platform.

"Boom!"

Lei Hao's escape light was the most imposing, accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder. Standing in the northern position of the dueling platform, he drew cheers from the direction of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

Zhao Yue appeared with a cold expression, her aura blending with the heavens and earth. She appeared silently in the southern position of the dueling platform, making her difficult to detect.

Wang Chan rode a sullen blue ox and slowly ascended to the west seat of the dueling platform, without revealing the slightest bit of power.

After stepping onto the stage, the three did not make eye contact, but instead all turned their gazes to the east, their auras shifting.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"Step!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Beiwu ignored the locking of the three Golden Core cultivators' auras, urged Cangming Stepping Void to take three steps, and stepped onto the eastern position of the dueling platform, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Upon seeing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Feng Binhan's eyes.

As Zhou Gaochang said, this year's Yuqing team leader is indeed quite extraordinary.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation, he was unable to discern Chen Beiwu's true cultivation level at a glance.

'Is he Chen Beiwu, the master of Foundation Establishment and Path Opening? He seems rather ordinary!'

'Something's not right. Why do I get the feeling that the three chief disciples of Taiqing, Shangqing, and Jiuxiao Immortal Sect are all somewhat wary of Chen Beiwu?'

'Tsk tsk tsk, this is interesting. The draw hasn't even started yet, and the tension is already palpable...'

As the four renowned prodigies from the immortal sects battled it out on the arena, the cultivators in the audience all looked on with anticipation.

When Feng Binhan signaled the start of the lottery ceremony, Chen Beiwu extended his right hand toward the sandalwood lottery tube.

'It's best not to get drawn!'

Upon seeing this, the other nine sect leaders all narrowed their eyes, staring intently at Chen Beiwu's descending hand.

Even with the revival round as a margin for error, few immortal sects are willing to face the top three immortal sects in the preliminary round of the Dao Discussion Battle, as that would undoubtedly expose too much of the team's strength, which would be detrimental to the subsequent quarterfinals and semifinals.

Chen Beiwu remained calm, his fingertips touching the inside of the tube before withdrawing, and took out two jade tokens.

For him, it didn't matter which immortal sect he drew.

But for other immortal sects, this is a moment that will determine their fate!

[Great Luo Immortal Sect] [Mysterious Yellow Immortal Sect]

Chen Beiwu showed the jade slip to the host, Feng Binhan, who nodded and listed the Daluo Immortal Sect and the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect in Group A.

‘Damn it! ’

The chief disciple of the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect turned pale.

'My luck was alright.'

The chief of the Great Luo Immortal Sect remained calm.

If he can't beat the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, how could he not beat the Profound Yellow Immortal Sect?

With the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect as a backup, their spot in the top eight should be secure.

Soon, the group draw ceremony ended, and the first match of the debate began with Group A.

Ye Xinya went on stage as the vanguard of the Yuqing Immortal Sect and won by a narrow margin.

Yu Zhaohua was the second to go on stage, facing the chief disciple of the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect, and won with an overwhelming advantage.

Xue Tianyi enters the game and wins!
As the de facto leader of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Chen Beiwu swept the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect 3-0 without even having a chance to make a move.

'pity.'

Zhao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, somewhat disappointed.

She also wanted to see the legendary Primordial Golden Elixir, but she didn't expect the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect to be so weak this year.

On the contrary, the chief of the Great Luo Immortal Sect had a change of heart and decided to change the order of battle before facing the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Chen Beiwu, on the other hand, did not change his order of appearance; everything remained the same.

Ye Xinya appeared as the vanguard and faced off against the powerful experts of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, but narrowly lost.

Yu Zhaohua made her appearance and won an overwhelming victory.

Xue Tianyi made her appearance, but unfortunately, she faced the chief disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect and narrowly lost.

'what's the situation? ’

The change came too suddenly, catching all the cultivators off guard, causing an uproar.

Before the war began, no cultivator could have imagined that the Daluo Immortal Sect, which was ranked in the middle to lower ranks, could actually gain two victory points against the Yuqing Immortal Sect. Even the chief of the Daluo Immortal Sect found it somewhat unbelievable.

He was simply trying to gain some points by trading inferior horses for superior ones.

Unexpectedly, Chen Beiwu was so arrogant that he didn't adjust the order of the battle roster at all, and as a result, the Daluo Immortal Sect unexpectedly won two victory points.

Feng Binhan, who was in charge of hosting, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Beiwu, who had a calm expression.

Could it be?

Feng Binhan suddenly recalled the rule of self-importance, and his gaze toward Chen Beiwu changed.

Underestimating one's opponent is a major taboo in combat; no cultivator will expose their weaknesses for no reason.

Unless it's a flaw that was intentionally exposed, or the other party has absolute confidence.

Good heavens, it seems he underestimated this generation of Primordial Golden Core cultivators!

"Feel sorry."

Ye Xinya looked somber, her head slightly lowered, somewhat unable to meet Chen Beiwu's gaze.

What you fear most is what will happen.

Because of her defeat, the Great Luo Immortal Sect has already gained two victory points. They only need to win one more victory to defeat the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and set a new record.

Mo Qingshuang glanced at Ye Xinya, gripped the hilt of her sword, and stepped onto the stage.

He didn't think he would lose; he just wanted to demonstrate absolute strength and let the Great Luo Immortal Sect understand what despair truly meant.

"It's alright, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war."

Chen Beiwu reassured Ye Xinya and watched the contest on the stage with great interest.

As expected, Mo Qingshuang crushed her opponent with just two sword strikes, easily securing a victory point.

After four rounds of combat, the score is now tied at two to two, and all the cultivators' eyes are on Chen Beiwu.

They didn't think the Great Luo Immortal Sect could win, but they wanted to take this opportunity to see the strength of the top-ranked Jade Void Sect.

'Unfortunately, it's difficult for a Golden Core Peak cultivator to force Chen Beiwu to reveal his full strength,' Wang Chan thought to himself, raising his eyes slightly.

"Gulu."

On the other side, seeing Chen Beiwu go on stage, Fan Ran couldn't help but swallow hard, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was able to become the leader of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, so he naturally had some strength, but compared with the top of the Jade Void Ranking, he was really no match for him.

'Should I just admit defeat?'

Fan Ran used his divine sense to transmit a message to Chief Luo.

The latter looked solemn and gave Fan Ran a deep look.

Defeat and admitting defeat are two different things.

There has never been a prodigy who surrendered and admitted defeat at the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference!

With no other choice, Fan Ran gritted his teeth and, under the slightly pitying gazes of his fellow disciples, walked step by step toward the dueling platform.

"start."

As soon as Feng Binhan finished speaking, Chen Beiwu gently stroked the golden egg on his shoulder with his right hand, his expression calm.

At this moment, Fan Ran's gaze met Chen Beiwu's, and his body trembled violently. He felt his divine sense change, and the noisy audience, the beast fighting alongside him, and even the entire world suddenly disappeared, replaced by an incomparably deep darkness.

However, to outsiders, Chen Beiwu only glanced at Fan Ran before the latter's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

Even the beast beside it let out a muffled groan and fell straight to the ground, creating a deep crater.

In other words, the entire process, from the announcement of the start of the duel to its end, lasted only a moment.

Chen Beiwu stood still, without even flinching, and effortlessly defeated a Golden Core Peak cultivator.

A deathly silence instantly enveloped the entire audience.

Most Golden Core cultivators didn't even have time to react before they saw Fan Ran and his companion beast collapse to the ground.
