Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 96 Sun and Moon Essence

Yu Ying stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Chen Beiwu.

She wasn't stupid; the meaning behind Deacon Yun's words was quite clear.

"Aren't you going to step down?" Deacon Yun frowned slightly.

The disciples who stand out from the outer sect competition are all cultivators skilled in combat.

Most cultivators of this kind share a common problem: to put it nicely, they have a strong will; to put it bluntly, they are stubborn and unreasonable.

He had already shown leniency because Yu Ying was expected to achieve foundational status in the future.

If the other party continues to pester you, then don't blame him for recording a charge of disrespecting his teacher.

Yu Ying gritted her teeth, took the blood-written letter, and turned to leave.

"This outer disciple was unaware of the sect rules and made a fool of himself. I apologize for the embarrassment, Junior Brother," Deacon Yun said to Chen Beiwu.

Li Lin and Lu Jian exchanged a glance, and the latter stepped forward to ask, "Steward, who is this senior brother?"

"This is Chen Zi'ang, a disciple of Shuiyue Peak and a prodigy who has entered the Zhu Zhen lineage of Zeyue," Deacon Yun introduced.

Upon hearing this, both Li Lin and Lu Jian were taken aback.

This person actually possesses the talent to gaze at the moon.

No wonder he caught the eye of Zhu Zhenchuan, gained the sect's favor, and opened Sun Moon Lake.

"I am Lu Jian, greetings to Senior Brother Chen." The black-robed male cultivator stepped forward and bowed.

"This humble servant is Li Lin, greetings to Senior Brother Chen." The tall and beautiful female cultivator also gave a slight bow.

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, he scanned the two people above their heads with his divine sense.

Lu Jian's luck level was found to be dark blue, while Li Lin's luck level was dark blue mixed with streaks of orange light.

Clearly, both of them are promising talents who have the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

"Buzz!"

As Deacon Yun took out the sect's token, a phantom spatial portal quickly took shape, revealing a secret realm entrance that could accommodate two people.

"Junior Brother Chen, please wait a moment." After reminding him, he looked at Li Lin and Lu Jian.

"Junior Sister Li, Junior Brother Lu, you may go in now."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them eagerly walked into the entrance leading to Sun Moon Lake.

"Sun Moon Lake is divided into Heavenly Lake and Earthly Lake. The Earthly Lake has just been opened, which is suitable for outer disciples to cultivate. Next, I will open the Heavenly Lake, which contains the essence of the yin energy of the moon and the yang energy of the sun."

"If Junior Brother Chen can refine these two energies, he might be able to open up the nine innate orifices in his body and directly advance to the peak of Qi Refining."

"In the sect's history, there have even been individuals with extraordinary talent who caused unusual phenomena within the Nine Apertures Sun and Moon Pool, receiving teachings from Golden Core cultivators and directly advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage," Elder Yun explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

He learned about this from Senior Sister Shuyou yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the golden egg out of the spirit beast bag, intending to enjoy the baptism of Sun Moon Lake together.

"Buzz!"

As Deacon Yun changed his hand seal, the sect's token shone even brighter, and the entrance to Sun Moon Lake rapidly expanded, emanating a refreshing fragrance.

"Junior Brother Chen, please come in. Sun Moon Lake will automatically teleport you out in one month."

Chen Beiwu nodded and walked towards the entrance.

……

Sun Moon Lake with nine orifices.

When Chen Beiwu regained consciousness and opened his eyes, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to gasp for breath.

"What is that?"

His pupils contracted slightly, barely managing to make out the true appearance of the two giant beasts.

The former was formed from the yang energy of the sun, high above, about ten zhang long, with wings that covered the sky and sun, and the edges of the wings were filled with the burning fire of the sun, like a bird of fire.

The latter was formed from the yin energy of the moon, lurking in the abyss. Its head, which was about five zhang above the water, had two curved horns on the edge of its head, emanating an absolute zero chill, like a dragon from the cold abyss.

Fortunately, the two giant beasts disintegrated in the next second, transforming into an ancient pool with red and blue colors intertwined like a tai chi symbol.

The red pool is called Yangtan, from which fiery mist rises, radiating high temperatures that distort the space.

The blue pool is a dark pool, with a frosty mist rising from its surface, forming layers of crisp frost.

At the junction of the Yin and Yang pools, a vortex of spiritual energy about two zhang wide frantically gathers fire mist and frost, sometimes transforming into two illusory giant beasts, exuding a terrifying allure that is hard to resist.

"This is the Sun Moon Lake with Nine Apertures!" Chen Beiwu's breathing became rapid.

His intuition told him that stepping into the ancient pool to cleanse himself would bring about a transformation in his essence, energy, and spirit.

"call!

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, suppressing the urgency in his heart, and looked at the golden egg.

"Gurgle."

At this moment, the golden egg had widened its fish eyes, eager to swim in Sun Moon Lake.

"Hold your breath and concentrate, let your mind follow your heart, and together with me circulate the Myriad Laws Return to the Flow of the Heavenly Book of Jianmu," Chen Beiwu mentally reminded him.

Having finally purified the turbidity and transformed the demonic power of the golden egg into magical power, he was unwilling to see the golden egg lose its mind in front of the Nine Aperture Sun and Moon Pool, instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy of this place to cultivate and re-refine its demonic power.

"Gurgle." The golden egg began to struggle.

"Listen to my command, hold your breath and concentrate!" Chen Beiwu pressed a palm down on Jin Dan's head.

After some education, Jin Dan regained its rationality and obediently followed Chen Beiwu's instructions to circulate his spiritual energy through the cultivation technique.

"very good."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, and stepped into the Yin Pool with the golden egg in his arms. A chilling aura instantly erupted from the pool.

He looked down and saw that a thin layer of frost had formed on the part of his calf that had been in contact with the pool.

Chen Beiwu didn't care at all. He calmly continued to operate the Myriad Laws Return to Flow Jianmu Heavenly Book and walked towards the spiritual energy vortex at the junction of the Yin and Yang pools.

……

Half a month has passed in a flash.

After Lu Jian and Li Lin finished their baptism, they were automatically teleported to the entrance of the secret realm by the Sun Moon Lake formation.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Li, on your great progress in cultivation. You are only one step away from the Qi Refining Perfection stage."

Seeing the undisguised joy in Li Lin's eyes, Lu Jian bowed.

"My spiritual root aptitude is still a bit lacking." Li Lin shook her head and said modestly, "Senior Brother Lu's talent is much higher. He is only one Foundation Establishment Pill away from advancing to Foundation Establishment."

After half a month of arduous training, she advanced from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the peak of the ninth level in one go, which was equivalent to saving several years of cultivation. However, Senior Brother Lu's gains were even greater than hers.

If she wasn't mistaken, Senior Brother Lu's cultivation had now reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

"Thank you for your kind words, junior sister."

Lu Jian smiled and boasted, "Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage isn't that simple. Even though the clan has prepared a Foundation Establishment Pill, I only have a 60% chance of success."

"Did Senior Brother Lu ever see Senior Brother Chen at Sun Moon Lake?" Li Lin asked, changing the subject.

She had been at Sun Moon Lake for half a month, but had not seen Brother Chen at all.

"How could such a prodigy enter the underground pool with us?" Lu Jian's smile vanished, his tone tinged with envy.

Upon hearing this, Li Lin looked up in surprise and humbly asked, "What is Heavenly Pool?"

"The Heavenly Pool is formed by the convergence of the essence of Yin and Yang energies." Lu Jian explained with a wry smile, "The cultivation ground we entered is only a branch of the Nine Aperture Sun and Moon Pool."

"roar!"

Just then, a loud dragon roar suddenly rang out.
