Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 353 The Dawn of the God Transformation
"The battle begins."

As soon as Feng Zhenjun finished speaking, Xue Tianyi was on high alert and immediately summoned her Tongcan Beast to prepare for battle.

Zhao Yue, the Fairy of the Moonlit Sky, glanced at Xue Tianyi with a slight movement in her eyes.

She didn't make any hand seals or summon the Fellowship Beast; she merely glanced at it casually and used her divine sense to activate the Heavenly Gang Profound Connection contained within the Fellowship Seal.

"Crack, click, click!"

A series of barely audible icing sounds suddenly rang out.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a layer of crystal-clear, extremely cold, and chilling ice spread wildly at a speed that was difficult for a Golden Core cultivator's divine sense to detect, instantly covering Xue Tianyi and the beast beside her.

The man and beast on the dueling platform instantly transformed into lifelike ice sculptures, with even the horrified expressions on their faces clearly visible.

Without a doubt, this was a swift and decisive victory.

Upon witnessing this scene, the cultivators in the fighting square all narrowed their eyes and fell into a deathly silence.

"Zhenjun Nascent Soul!"

In the audience, Lei Hao, the chief disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, changed his expression drastically and exclaimed in surprise, breaking the silence in the arena.

In an instant, a clamor arose.

Even the thirteen prodigies from the Immortal Sects present did not expect that they would witness history again at this Immortal Sect Exchange Conference.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch, 148 years old!

Good heavens! What does this mean?
This means that Fairy Zhao Yue of the Moonlit Sky has been recorded in history, replacing True Monarch Fang Shanglong of the Serene Abyss as the youngest Nascent Soul True Monarch in the history of the Immortal Alliance, and also the strongest among the thirteen Immortal Sects of this generation.

Even if Chen Beiwu was able to defeat the Heavenly Green Ox, a demon king of the fourth realm, he would probably be powerless in front of a true Nascent Soul True Monarch genius.

"The victor is Zhao Yue of the Shangqing Immortal Sect."

Feng Zhenjun gave Zhao Yue a deep look and announced in a loud voice.

But Zhao Yue remained aloof and cold, ignoring her opponent and the countless gazes around her, her eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.

Noticing Zhao Yue's gaze, the cultivators from the Immortal Sect present exchanged glances and looked at Chen Beiwu in unison, a hint of curiosity rising in their hearts.

Faced with a Nascent Soul True Monarch prodigy, will Chen Beiwu calmly accept the defeat of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, or will he knowingly do the impossible and choose to launch a war of absolute supremacy?

If Chen Beiwu chooses the former, none of the Immortal Sect cultivators present will object.

After all, their opponents were a Nascent Soul True Monarch and four Golden Core Perfection True Monarchs.

Chen Beiwu's decision to give up was a helpless but wise move, which they could fully understand and even agree with.

But deep in the hearts of the immortal cultivators present, a faint expectation arose—an expectation that they all thought was unlikely to occur.

"Only by daring to do what others cannot can one reach the pinnacle of immortality!" the chief of the Sword Abyss Immortal Sect murmured softly.

A swordsman is one who would rather break than bend.

If Chen Beiwu continues to choose to launch a war of supremacy, regardless of the final outcome, he will be impressed by the opponent's spirit.

'Chen Beiwu, what will you choose?'

Taiqing Chief Wang Chan looked at Chen Beiwu with a complex and indescribable expression.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

The next second, to Wang Chan's astonishment, Chen Beiwu stepped onto the stage with composure, his expression fearless, as if his opponents were not a Nascent Soul True Monarch and four Golden Core cultivators, but five geniuses of the same realm.

'This...this!' Wang Chan's pupils contracted slightly, a wave of shock washing over him.

What does it mean to be self-centered and arrogant?

Wang Chan had always understood it as the invincibility of cultivation strength and the suppression of absolute realm, and even once thought that the hidden rules of the Dao Debate Battle were useless and unnecessary.

But today, Chen Beiwu demonstrated the true meaning of "I am the only one who matters" to him through his actions, and Wang Chan suddenly understood!
The so-called "unrivaled supremacy" does not refer to absolute strength or invincibility, but rather to the unyielding will to show one's edge and fight against countless gods and Buddhas.

"She's gone mad, she's really gone mad!" Mu Nanyan muttered to herself, her eyes glazed over.

Chen Beiwu was unaware of the vast difference between a Golden Core cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Did Chen Beiwu not know that failing in his "Battle for Supremacy" might turn him into a clown?
Mu Nanyan felt that Chen Beiwu knew all this, but he still chose to stand up, choosing an outcome that was almost certain to fail.

It was precisely because of this unwavering will that, although Mu Nanyan said Chen Beiwu was crazy, the emotion in her eyes was not contempt, but admiration and worship.

Chen Beiwu was unaware of the absurd imaginations of the many geniuses below the stage. He simply wanted to witness the strength of the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance.

Even though the intensity of this year's Immortal Sect Exchange Conference exceeded his expectations by dozens of times.

"Do you need time to recover?" Feng Zhenjun asked.

"No need," Zhao Yue shook her head slightly.

She hadn't used much of her strength at all to deal with a Golden Core cultivator.

"Shhhhhhh!"

Just then, four streaks of light shot out from the area where the Shangqing Immortal Sect was located and landed on the dueling platform.

Second sister, you lost!

Zhao Yu looked at Chen Beiwu with curiosity and transmitted her thoughts to him.

Honestly, if she were Chen Beiwu, facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch and four Golden Core Perfection cultivators, she probably wouldn't have the courage to step onto the stage and launch a battle for supremacy.

After all, such behavior could easily be seen as a typical example of overestimating one's abilities by many cultivators.

But Chen Beiwu's actions somehow made her feel an invisible charm.

Could it be because the other party possesses the great titles of 'Primordial Golden Core' and 'Master of the Way,' or is she judging people by their appearance and attracted to Chen Beiwu's looks?
"Losing a bet is losing is losing. It just shows Chen Beiwu is even more arrogant than I imagined!"

Zhao Qing looked at Chen Beiwu with admiration, but her response to her third sister's telepathic communication still carried a hint of belittling.

Of the five people from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, only Zhao Yue remained unfazed, showing no surprise whatsoever, as if it were only natural for Chen Beiwu to take the stage and fight against all five of them.

"Buzz!"

Zhao Yue remained silent, a cold light flashed from the Mustard Spirit Ring on her finger, and a colossal beast carrying a giant cauldron appeared with a roar.

This beast has a huge body, about ten feet tall at the shoulder, and resembles a giant bear. Its thick neck is made up of huge ring-shaped bone segments, and liquid flowing bluish-black flames can be vaguely seen at the joints.

However, what surprised the cultivators present even more than these things was that the giant beast was carrying a dark blue stone cauldron about five feet tall on its back.

This stone cauldron is quite extraordinary. It seems to be the source of the bluish-black cold flames, and it exudes a fierce and domineering terrifying aura at all times, making the immortal cultivators present feel an absolute crushing of their life level.

Without a doubt, this is the second fourth-realm demon king to appear at this year's Immortal Sect Exchange. [Name]: Northern Yin Cauldron Beast
[Attribute]: Possesses all five elements (Yin)

[Bloodline]: Fourth-tier Supreme Grade
[Cultivation Level]: ? ? ?

[Mysterious Connections]: Northern Yin Cauldron Domain, Yellow Springs Netherflame, Extreme Yin Cauldron Light, Yin Cauldron Carrying Years...

[Introduction]: Extremes beget their opposites, and yin reaches its extreme with order. The Northern Yin Cauldron Beast has a mysterious origin. According to ancient records of the Immortal Alliance, it is a special Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beast created by a powerful figure of the Shangqing Immortal Sect using supreme Daoist techniques combined with the order of yin and yang. It is born with the authority to suppress the power of extreme yin.

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly as he immediately sensed the terrifying aura and immense fortune emanating from the Northern Yin Cauldron Beast.

It is no exaggeration to say that, as a fellow fourth-realm demon king, the sense of crisis posed by this Northern Yin Cauldron Beast far surpasses that of the Azure Ox.

"Buzz!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qing and Zhao Yu followed their eldest sister Zhao Yue and summoned their fellow beasts, the Golden Flame Dragon and the Rain Cloud Lord.

What puzzled Chen Beiwu was that although these three giant beasts had different attributes, the aura they emitted when they stood together was somewhat harmonious, as if the five elements were in harmony and could merge into one at any time.

As for the other two Shangqing prodigies who summoned their companion beasts, they retreated far away, their gazes towards the Beiyin Cauldron Beast filled with deep apprehension, and they dared not approach at all.

Feng Zhenjun nodded, looking at Chen Beiwu, indicating that the Battle of the Supreme Being could be prepared in advance by summoning the Fellowship Beast.

Without hesitation, Chen Beiwu activated the Mustard Spirit Ring, summoning the Golden Egg, the Iron Egg, and the Five Qi Vine.

"Hey!" (Here we go again!)
Sensing the aura of Zhao Yue and the Northern Yin Cauldron Beast, the Five Qi Vine stared wide-eyed at Chen Beiwu in disbelief.

Chen Beiwu is really bold. He just finished fighting a fourth-realm demon king, and now he is facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch and a fourth-realm demon king.

Golden Egg didn't say anything, but secretly glanced at Iron Egg.

It even fought the Fighting Demon Ape, so how could it possibly be afraid of the Northern Yin Cauldron Beast?

It was just afraid that Tie Dan's cultivation was too shallow and he wouldn't last more than a few rounds against the Four Realms Demon King.

Seeing the three pets' reactions, Chen Beiwu was not surprised.

Before the final round of the debate began, he consulted a fortune teller, and the result was largely in line with his intuition: his chances of winning were slim.

However, this is normal. A peerless genius like Yuexiao, even if he has only just entered the True Monarch realm, can sweep away the late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Southern Wilderness.

With his current peak Golden Core realm, it would be quite a stretch for him to win against five opponents alone.

……

At the same time, above the dueling platform, a hazy, clear light floated silently, within which three illusory figures could be vaguely seen.

The man on the left, thin and dressed in a simple linen Taoist robe, is none other than Tao Yan Zhen Zun, the Minister of the Tianyan Immortal Religion's Academic Department, who has long since entered the realm of the Transformation God True Venerable.

The man on the right is handsome with eyes like stars and an ethereal aura; he is none other than the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect, whose title is Purple Star True Venerable.

As for the young child with white hair and a youthful face sitting at the white jade table boiling water and making tea, he is the Minister of the Alchemy Department of the Tianyan Immortal Sect, with the honorific title of Changyao Zhenzun.

"The seedlings of this generation are much stronger than those of previous Immortal Sect Exchange Meetings," said True Venerable Zixing, taking a sip of tea in a calm tone.

"The rainy night is long and lingering, the clear night is vast and boundless, and the moonlit night is clear and ethereal. This generation of the Three Immortals of Shangqing is indeed extraordinary. Their talents are no less than those of Wang Chan, the chief of Taiqing, especially the Moonlit Night, the leader of the Three Immortals."

As soon as Changyao Zhenzun finished speaking, Taoyan Zhenzun shook his head slightly: "Even geniuses are divided into different levels. Although Wang Chan and the four from Sanxiao are peerless geniuses, they are still inferior to Chen Beiwu."

"Be careful what you say," True Venerable Zixing, who was well-informed, reminded him telepathically.

Regardless of whether the rumors from the Immortal Sect are true or not, and whether the Three Immortals of Shangqing are truly reincarnations of powerful beings, he remained reserved about them and was unwilling to make casual comments or comparisons, lest he bring trouble upon himself.

Upon hearing this, True Venerable Tao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, keenly sensing that something was amiss.

Changyao Zhenzun didn't seem to care, and asked with interest, "So, you think Chen Beiwu will win the battle of 'I Am the Only One'?"

Both True Venerable Zixing and True Venerable Taoyan shook their heads, their answers consistent: "We can't win."

The Three Immortals of Sanxiao possess exceptional qualities, allowing them to share the same spiritual essence, complement each other's Daoist principles, and jointly cultivate the fundamental method, "The Immortal Method of the Three Pure Ones' Derivation of All Heavens' One Qi Harmony."

Now that Yuexiao has broken through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, his cultivation has greatly increased, and his divine sense is enough to stabilize the central position and govern the other two Xiao.

In this situation, the three of them joining forces do not simply add up their strength, but rather their energy merges and they become one, unleashing terrifying combat power several times, or even dozens of times, through the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form.

It's not that they underestimate Chen Beiwu; now that the Three Immortals have joined forces, they can even contend with the top masters (Nascent Soul True Monarchs) of the Five Great Grotto Heavens.

Of course, like the Thirteen Immortal Sects, the strength of the chief of each generation of the Five Great Grotto Heavens varies, with some being very strong and others not.

For example, the current generation of the five chief disciples of the grotto heavens is only considered mediocre in terms of talent and ability among the chief disciples of the grotto heavens in the past. The three immortals of Sanxiao are enough to contend with one person.

However, if they were to face a rare master of a grotto-heaven like Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, even the Three Immortals joining forces would only result in utter defeat.

It is precisely for this reason that the Purple Star True Venerable doubted whether there were some errors in the rumors about the reincarnation of the Three Immortals.

If the rumors are true, the Three Immortals wouldn't have failed to cultivate fundamental immortal techniques a hundred years ago, and wouldn't have been swept away and eliminated by Shen Lingxing, the chief of the Jade Purity Sect.

"It's just a debate about the Dao. What does it matter if Chen Beiwu loses?" True Venerable Taoyan smiled.

Is the ranking at the Immortal Sect Exchange Meeting important?

It's important, but it's also not important.

At their level, they no longer take the outcome of a sparring match too seriously, even if it relates to the ranking of the Thirteen Immortal Sects.

Compared to simple rankings, the higher-ups of the various immortal sects value more the talent, aptitude, and willpower displayed by their prodigies during the competition, and whether their sects can produce another Nascent Soul True Venerable or even a Void Refining Dao Venerable in the future.

The reason why Yuexiao was able to break the record for the youngest Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Immortal Alliance (the five great prodigies of the Cave Heaven are not included in the ranking) is because of the Myriad Manifestations Mysterious Grass discovered in the New World.

Otherwise, Yuexiao would have been like the prodigies of the Thirteen Immortal Sects in previous years, remaining at the Golden Core Perfection realm for two or three hundred years, only able to attempt to attain the Nascent Soul stage after forging the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image.

Therefore, up to this point, there is no doubt that in the eyes of the three, Chen Beiwu's talent, potential, and will are superior to those of Taiqing Wang Chan and Shangqing Sanxiao, living up to the name of the Primordial Golden Elixir.

“Indeed, it’s just a ranking of one generation.” True Venerable Purple Star agreed.

If you lose, you lose.

The three upper immortal sects hold a transcendent position, and their rankings are always changing internally, never being replaced by the top ten immortal sects.

How could the higher-ups of the Three Immortal Sect possibly care about a temporary ranking?

Let alone the Three Immortal Sects, even the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect would be eager to cultivate a peerless genius like Chen Beiwu, even at the cost of several generations of sect rankings being low.

After all, Chen Beiwu's talent is comparable to that of the chief of the Cave Heaven, and he is a prodigy who is expected to become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future!
Thinking of this, True Venerable Taoyan looked at Chen Beiwu with even greater admiration, and even considered taking him as a son-in-law.

“Brother Xiao, everyone has a love for talent. This young man is indeed a rare gem, a treasure that inspires excitement. It’s a pity we discovered him too late.”

Sensing his old friend's thoughts, True Venerable Purple Star reminded him with his divine sense.

The reason why the Jade Purity Immortal Sect sent Yu Zhaohua and Chen Beiwu to participate in the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference was probably because they had some intention of bringing them together.

If True Venerable Taoyan were to harbor any wicked intentions and try to steal someone away through marriage, he might end up being humiliated.
