Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 347 The outcome is decided
The dust has settled, and defeat is inevitable.

The Jade Purity Immortal Sect can only compete with the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect for third place in the Dao Discussion Battle, and will miss the finals. This is almost the unanimous understanding in the minds of all the geniuses of the thirteen immortal sects present.

However, just as Yu Zhaohua managed to prop herself up, the figure who had been sitting quietly below the stage suddenly moved.

Chen Beiwu calmly stood up and then took a step forward.

"tread!"

This step felt like it was stepping on Yu Zhaohua's heart.

On the dueling platform, Yu Zhaohua opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Beiwu, who had suddenly appeared in front of her. The complex emotions in her heart suddenly disappeared and were replaced by peace of mind.

At the same time, the audience, which had been making a ruckus, fell silent as they watched the figure in blue robes suddenly appear on the dueling platform.

Countless gazes filled with surprise and astonishment focused on Chen Beiwu, watching him calmly ascend the dueling platform and walk straight toward Yu Zhaohua.

"what's the situation?"

"The debate on Dao is over, so what is Chen Beiwu doing on stage now?"

"Could it be that Chen Beiwu is unwilling to accept defeat and wants to go up and say something harsh?"

As soon as the whispers began in the audience, they noticed that Wang Chan, the chief of the Taiqing Academy on stage, had a slight frown and a hint of excitement in his expression.

"really."

Seeing this, Feng Binhan did not stop it, but looked at Chen Beiwu with a solemn tone:

"Chen Beiwu, as the leader of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, according to the rules of the Dao Debate Battle, you can only step onto the stage after the first four rounds of sparring. Now that the score is decided, you shall step onto the stage now..."

At this point, Feng Binhan's gaze gradually sharpened, and he asked, one question at a time, "Is this an invitation to wage a war for absolute supremacy?"

boom!
As soon as Feng Binhan finished speaking, all the cultivators in the room felt their scalps tingle, and an inexplicable shiver ran from their tailbone straight to their spiritual center.

Crazy, so crazy!
The cultivators present held their breath, their eyes instinctively turning towards Chen Beiwu.

Since the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference began, the number of times a battle for supremacy has occurred can be counted on one hand, so much so that the cultivators below the stage did not immediately recall this hidden rule.

The reason is simple: the conditions for completing the battle to become the sole ruler are extremely demanding.

It requires both a powerful immortal sect to be driven to the brink of ruin and face a crushing defeat, and an unparalleled genius to gamble everything and use absolute strength to defeat the sect's genius one against five.

It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, such exceptional geniuses only appear in powerful sects, and there is no need to invoke this rule.

As for the weak sect's prodigies, their strength is insufficient, and forcibly launching a war of supremacy will only bring them humiliation and make them a laughing stock.

Upon thinking of this, the cultivators present couldn't help but reveal excitement in their eyes.

As the top-ranked figure on the Jade Void Ranking, Chen Beiwu would not have launched the "Unrivaled" war without a high degree of confidence.

Without a doubt, the upcoming battle of wits is the clash of titans they have been eagerly anticipating!
"When was the last time a battle for supremacy took place? Fifteen hundred years ago? Or eighteen hundred years ago?" Mu Nanyan murmured to herself.

"It should be 1,800 years ago. That being who successfully completed the battle for supremacy is now a True God Transformation Venerable," the female cultivator beside her replied.

To avoid attracting the attention of such beings, she didn't even dare to directly reveal the true name of the Nascent Soul True Venerable.

"Interesting. Do you guys think Chen Beiwu can win?"

Zhao Yue stood with her arms crossed, her gaze towards Chen Beiwu less disdainful and more filled with an indescribable admiration.

Regardless of whether Chen Beiwu wins or loses, she admires his courage to launch a war of absolute dominance.

As the chief disciple of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, Zhao Yue has seen too many geniuses over the years, including those with exceptional talent and abundant resources.

In her eyes, so-called innate talent, aptitude, and innate ability, along with the beasts of the same kind, are nothing more than glamorous appearances.

The true strength of a cultivator lies not in superficial aptitude or companion beasts, but in the resolute courage to draw their sword in dire straits and the unwavering will to face everything head-on.

"Sister, unless a miracle happens, Chen Beiwu's chances of winning are almost zero!" Zhao Qing said decisively.

She was not underestimating Chen Beiwu's strength, nor was she underestimating the value of the Primordial Golden Core.

Rather, she was well aware of the strength of Wang Chan, the chief of the Taiqing sect.

In this Immortal Sect Exchange Conference, only her sister Zhao Yue could defeat Wang Chan!
Zhao Yu, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but looked at Chen Beiwu with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Yes."

In response to Feng Binhan's question, Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his voice resolute.

"Na."

With her small hands clasped together, Wu Qi Teng unleashed the power of the Five Qi Transformation Mystery.

Two beams of five-colored light immediately fell on Yu Zhaohua and Suiyan Panlong.

"Thank you."

Yu Zhaohua exhaled a breath of turbid air, took out a pill from her storage ring, and swallowed it.

As for the injuries of the Flint Rock Dragon, she didn't need to worry about them at all. It would recover completely in just a few breaths. This was the terrifying vitality of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast.

To put it bluntly, Yu Zhaohua's defeat was not because Suiyan Panlong lost its fighting power, but because Wang Chan seized the opportunity to defeat her in one fell swoop.

"The Taiqing Immortal Sect fought three battles in a row and won them all, but their divine sense and true qi were also damaged and need time to recover."

At this point, Feng Binhan looked towards the direction of the Shangqing Immortal Sect and announced, "The next battle will be between the Shangqing Immortal Sect and the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect."

"After this battle ends, we will begin the battle for supremacy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu was not surprised and turned to lead Yu Zhaohua off the stage.

Wang Chan stopped his fellow disciples who were about to speak and led his junior brothers and sisters back to the rest area below the stage.

"Senior Brother, you don't need to take action. I can suppress Chen Beiwu on my own." Zhuang Fu's tone was cold.

Even if Chen Beiwu, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, were highly skilled, it would be absolutely impossible for him to defeat five opponents at once.

Therefore, in Zhuang Fu's eyes, Chen Beiwu's arrogant behavior was not only a provocation, but also a contempt for the contemporary prodigy of the Taiqing Immortal Sect.

"No need, Senior Brother Zhuang. Just to be on the safe side, the four of us should attack together, while Senior Brother can hold the fort," Sun Mo sneered.

"Your cultivation is still incomplete. Your Daoist mind should be like still water; why should it be disturbed by external things?"

Wang Chan shook his head, his gaze calmly sweeping over his four fellow disciples: "The foundation of my Taiqing Dao lies in conforming to nature, and also in upholding the fundamental principles."

"In this battle, I will make Chen Beiwu understand what the Way of Taiqing is."

Upon hearing this, the prodigies of the Taiqing Immortal Sect were all slightly taken aback, and their dissatisfaction and restlessness immediately dissipated.

Stable.

If the senior brother were to get serious, not only would Chen Beiwu be defeated, but even if all the geniuses of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect came together, they would still be defeated.

……

The duel between the Shangqing Immortal Sect and the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect ended quickly.

Undoubtedly 3-0!

Although the chief of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect was quite strong, able to unleash combat power almost approaching that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch by relying on the landscape map and the Dharma Body of the Fellowship, he was still defeated by Fairy Qingxiao Zhao Qing.

Zhao Yue, the chief disciple of the Shangqing Immortal Sect and the Fairy of the Moonlit Sky, didn't even need to make a move.

'It still didn't work.'

Mu Nanyan shook her head slightly, thinking to herself.

The reason why the three great immortal sects, Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, can be called the three superior immortal sects and stand above the ten great immortal sects is because they have inherited profound and mysterious lineages and have a deep foundation, which is why they can cultivate peerless geniuses generation after generation.

Lei Hao was indeed exceptionally talented, but compared to the Three Immortal Maidens of Shangqing Immortal Sect, he was still far inferior.

'I wonder if Chen Beiwu can pull off a miracle?'

Mu Nanyan looked at the dueling platform, not believing that she would be able to witness history.

At this moment, including the geniuses of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, there are quite a few Immortal Sect cultivators who share Mu Nanyan's pessimistic attitude.

Chen Beiwu is indeed strong, even if he can eventually defeat three or even four opponents at once, but Wang Chan, the chief of the Taiqing Immortal Sect, is ultimately different.

Two fists are already no match for four hands, let alone a battle between peerless geniuses!

Amidst the intense attention of the crowd, Zhao Zhenjun reappeared in the center of the dueling arena.

This time he didn't say much, but his voice echoed in all directions: "Please invite the prodigies of the Jade Purity and Supreme Purity sects to the stage." In an instant, five streaks of light shot out from the direction of the Supreme Purity Immortal Sect and landed on the dueling platform. The person in the lead was none other than Wang Chan, whose expression was indifferent.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Under the watchful eyes of numerous immortal cultivators, Chen Beiwu took three steps and instantly appeared on the left side of the dueling platform.

On the right side of the dueling platform, the five prodigies, led by Wang Chan, stood side by side, facing off against Chen Beiwu.

Although the five of them did not actively unleash their Golden Core aura, the powerful energy flowing around them was like five towering divine mountains, almost turning the spiritual energy of this place upside down.

Faced with this aura, Chen Beiwu remained calm and composed, his eyes serene, showing neither fear nor arrogance.

His individual strength was in no way inferior to the combined might of the five great prodigies of Taiqing.

"hiss."

In the audience, someone gasped in surprise as the battle on the dueling platform officially began.

"I have a sword called the Sword of Delusion!"

Sun Mo stepped forward and unhesitatingly unleashed his Golden Core True Qi, employing the Taiqing Secret Technique.

The sword box behind him trembled slightly, and a clear, flowing sword light shot into the sky, its sound resounding through the heavens and earth, stirring the vast spiritual energy of the world.

At the same time, a faint light flashed from the Xuan Beast Ring on Sun Mo's finger, and a giant beast resembling a Qilin, with scales made of ice crystals, suddenly appeared.

This colossal beast has a single horn on its head, a dignified and auspicious appearance, eyes like jade, and its four feet are always three inches off the ground. A chilling aura circulates around its body. It is an auspicious beast that was born from the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Jade Marrow and is listed on the Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beast Ranking.

[Name]: Frosty Jade Crystal Kirin
[Attributes]: Water, Ice
[Bloodline]: High-grade Fourth Rank
[Mysterious Connection]: Myriad blossoms of cold light, jade marrow purified, freezing illusions...

"If the heart is pure as ice, one can wield the ultimate jade soul sword!"

Sun Mo let out a low shout, his hands forming hand seals. The Frost Jade Crystal Kirin, which had just appeared, roared to the sky. Its massive body then collapsed and condensed, transforming into a beam of aurora that could not be looked at directly.

The aurora receded in the next instant, and the figure of the Frost Jade Crystal Kirin disappeared, replaced by a crystal longsword about four feet long, floating in the air.

This sword has an unremarkable appearance, yet it exudes an extremely cold aura that is enough to terrify even a Golden Core cultivator.

'The two swords unite, slaying delusion and returning to the ultimate!'

Facing the renowned Jade Void Ranking leader, Sun Mo dared not be careless and immediately used his strongest killing move to test the waters.

"cut!"

Sun Mo pointed his fingers together to form a sword and slashed downwards. The sword light that shot into the sky merged with the Extreme Jade Soul Sword, transforming into an endless cold wind that tore through space, froze time, and finally crashed down.

Chen Beiwu did not retreat.

One step back, and you're back again!

Faced with such an ultimate and sublime killing move, simply retreating will only cede the rhythm of the battle to the opponent.

Moreover, he is not fighting one-on-one, but surrounding five Taiqing prodigies all by himself.

"Five kalpas cycle, and the primordial beginning becomes one."

Chen Beiwu took a step forward and spread his five fingers.

"Na!"

With a thought, the Five Qi Vine unleashed a torrent of five-colored divine light from its body, continuously merging into Chen Beiwu's five palms.

'Such power! Don't even think about it!'

Zhuang Fu's pupils contracted slightly, and he decisively summoned the Heavenly Gift Mid-Scene [The Azure Phoenix of the Void Patrols the Sky and Rides the Wind] to merge with his fellow Dharma Body.

With four against one, he wouldn't just stand by and watch Chen Beiwu defeat Junior Brother Sun.

In an instant, a blue light illuminated the world, and the wind howled through the heavens.

A majestic and sacred Azure Phoenix, several tens of feet tall, appeared, spreading its enormous wings of light that stretched for nearly a hundred feet.

Above the wings of light, not only do the three winds of the trigram Xun flow, but one can also vaguely glimpse the birth and death of the stars in the void, and the magnificent scene of the Azure Phoenix patrolling the sky and governing the laws of heaven and earth.

The moment the Azure Phoenix Dharma Body descended, Zhuang Fu's aura surged at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, his aura surpassed the realm of the Golden Core Perfection stage, touching the barrier of the early Nascent Soul True Monarch stage, and then suddenly stepped into it.

Simply put, Zhuang Fu's cultivation level has now surpassed that of a Golden Core True Person. His combat strength is so great that he might not be able to hold his own against a Nascent Soul True Monarch for dozens of rounds.

"Xunluo!"

Zhuang Fu raised his right hand and pointed lightly at Chen Beiwu.

This guide activates the power of the Azure Phoenix Dharma Body, containing the 'penetrating' and 'stripping' intents of the Xun Wind. It can ignore spatial distance and true qi defense, directly annihilating and erasing the target, far beyond what a Golden Core cultivator can defend against.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would be severely injured if he wasn't careful.

"Pfft!"

As a soft sound rang out, Chen Beiwu's body stiffened.

A terrifying hole, open from front to back, appeared in the left chest, near the heart.

No blood splattered from within the hole. The Xunluo Finger, containing the true meaning of the Azure Phoenix Dharma Body, was frantically eroding Chen Beiwu's flesh and life force, attempting to completely annihilate his physical body.

At this moment, Sun Mo's long-awaited sword strike, "Slaying the Delusion," finally came down.

This sword light was extremely agile, bypassing the three-phase black dragon that was circling and protecting it at the critical moment, and landing on Chen Beiwu.

"Clang!" Blood shot into the sky.

Chen Beiwu's protective true qi was only held for a moment before it was cleaved in two by the sword light. His entire arm was severed at the shoulder and grabbed by the Three-Phase Mystic Dragon.

"Roar!"

The Three-Phase Black Dragon let out a furious roar.

Chen Beiwu staggered, his face as pale as paper, and his aura plummeted to rock bottom at a visible speed.

His heart was pierced, and his right arm was severed.

Looking at Chen Beiwu, who was in dire straits, a hint of pride flashed in Zhuang Fu's eyes.

Even his and his junior brother Sun's combined killing moves couldn't stop them; the Jade Void Immortal Sect's strength this year is indeed lacking.

However, it's understandable. So what if it's the Primordial Golden Elixir? Chen Beiwu has only cultivated for a little over thirty years. How can it compare to his more than one hundred years of arduous cultivation?

"Your physical body is on the verge of destruction, further fighting is pointless. Admit defeat," Zhuang Fu said coldly.

“That’s right, the outcome is decided.” Sun Mo nodded slightly.

The purpose of the debate is to exchange ideas and discuss principles; death is strictly prohibited, and violators will be severely punished.

Therefore, his sword strike just now only severed Chen Beiwu's right arm, not split it in two.

Indeed, the outcome is already decided.

Amid Zhuang Fu and Sun Mo's surprised and uncertain gazes, Chen Beiwu smiled calmly.

Upon hearing this, the two men's pupils contracted slightly, sensing something was amiss.

"It's almost time."

As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, Zhuang Fu and Sun Mo suddenly lowered their heads, their faces showing disbelief.

'When exactly?'

Looking at the hole in his left chest, Sun Mo could no longer withstand the injury. He staggered and knelt on one knee.

'How can it be! ’

Zhuang Fu turned pale as he discovered that his right arm had been severed at the shoulder at some unknown time, and the Taixu Qingluan Dharma Body behind him had also vanished into thin air.

Only Chen Beiwu stood still, his expression calm, his right hand intact, and his body spotless.
