Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Tianman Plain.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun and Master Ziyang rode the dragon at an extremely fast speed.

In less than an hour, they were already less than a thousand miles from the border of Heng Kingdom.

But just as they were about to rush into Heng Kingdom in one breath, an obstacle suddenly appeared in their path.

A Fire Spirit King with red hair and red eyes, wearing flame armor, and a Barbarian King of the Earth Barbarian Clan, who was ten feet tall and wielding a silver-white battle axe, suddenly appeared from the side and blocked the silver dragon's path.

"How audacious are these human cultivators! They dare to disregard the prohibitions of our three races and wreak havoc in our territories! Do you know that you have committed an unforgivable crime!"

In the sky, the Fire Spirit King stood amidst a cloud of fire, his eyes cold as he stared at the silver dragon and the two figures on its back, letting out an angry roar.

However, Zhou Chun and Master Ziyang had no intention of wasting any words with him.

Then Zhou Chun shouted in a low voice, "Ignore them, force your way through!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Master Ziyang attacked together, directly activating their spiritual treasures to strike the two fifth-tier alien beings blocking their path.

Zhou Chun even released Fushan Jun and threw him to the ground, ordering him to deal with the barbarian king of the Earth Barbarian Tribe.

In truth, it was these two fifth-tier alien beings who were unlucky.

The message from the Heavenly Soul Clan only stated that several human Nascent Soul stage cultivators were fighting a fifth-tier demon king deep within the Heavenly Barbarian Plains; more detailed information had not yet reached them.

Therefore, they never expected that the person they were trying to intercept actually possessed the combat power of a Grand Master.

If they had known this beforehand, they would never have dared to appear in front of Zhou Chun.

This information gap caused them to suffer soon afterward.

These two were only at the lower fifth rank, equivalent to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Their strength was not bad, but they were certainly not as powerful as Zhou Chun.

Even Master Ziyang, with his [Blazing Sun Treasure Mirror] spiritual treasure, was not afraid of any of them in a one-on-one fight.

As soon as the two sides made their move, Zhou Chun activated the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" unleashed by the [Moon Toad Pearl], which quickly caused the Fire Spirit Clan Spirit King to suffer, almost freezing him solid.

Even the Silver Dragon Lord, who was focused on clearing the level, did not forget to unleash a [Shattering Heavenly Lightning], which struck him down from the clouds as he escaped danger, causing his body to emit green smoke.

However, compared to the Fire Spirit King, the Earth Barbarian King on the ground was in an even worse state.

The Barbarian King of the Earth Barbarian Tribe possesses indeed powerful body-refining abilities. He is arguably even more skilled in close combat than many fifth-tier demon kings, and is strong in both offense and defense.

Unfortunately, he encountered Lord Fushan, who was stronger than him in every way and also possessed supernatural powers that could counter him.

When he swung his silver-white battle axe at Lord Fushan, Lord Fushan immediately unleashed the [Primal Magnetic Domain] divine power, rendering him unable to move an inch.

If it weren't for his own thick skin and exceptional resilience, and the fact that Lord Fushan didn't intend to fight for long, killing him wouldn't have been difficult at all.

After suffering a great loss right from the start, the two fifth-tier alien beings immediately became obedient, powerless and unwilling to continue intercepting and chasing Zhou Chun and his companion.

Before their very eyes, the silver dragon carried Zhou Chun and the other person away swiftly, disappearing into the horizon.

Meanwhile, the Mountain Lord on the ground also disappeared underground, following the silver dragon into the distance.

After witnessing Zhou Chun and his servant depart, the Fire Spirit Clan's Spirit King immediately landed beside the Earth Barbarian Clan's Barbarian King and said, "To be able to subdue a fifth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon and a fifth-tier Mountain-Bearing Turtle as spirit pets, that human cultivator must be no nobody. Even if we couldn't stop him, we still have a reason to report back to our clan!"

Upon hearing this, the barbarian king replied in a muffled voice, "That's true, but I don't know what those two humans did venturing so deep into the Heavenly Barbarian Plains, or if they have some kind of conspiracy against our three races!"

"This matter is indeed intriguing. Hopefully, the Celestial Soul Clan can investigate and uncover the details."

The Fire Spirit King's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression became more solemn.

On the other side, after Zhou Chun and his companion successfully returned to Heng Kingdom, they quickly put away their spirit pets and left Heng Kingdom directly.

Although their intrusion into the Tianman Plain and the ambush of the two-headed black dragon caused the three alien races to lose face, it was not a big deal for the human race.

After all, they did not harm any important members of the three alien races, so they did not actively provoke these alien races.

If the three alien races are not satisfied, they can come and cause trouble for the human race as well.

If these three alien races manage to escape the human cultivators' pursuit and return to Tianman Plain alive, no one will hold them accountable, even if they are capable.

However, just as the Fire Spirit King said, Zhou Chun has now exposed his spirit pet, so his true identity can no longer be hidden.

From now on, he has been officially recognized by the high-ranking officials of the three major alien races.

After Zhou Chun and his companion returned to Jingguo without incident, they immediately separated and returned to their respective mountain caves.

After returning home, Zhou Chun happily reviewed and processed the results of his trip.

Following the principle of saving the best for last, Zhou Chun first took out the corpse of the two-headed black dragon and began to decompose it.

This fifth-order dragon corpse is very well preserved; apart from the dragon scales, its integrity is over 80%.

Such a complete dragon corpse has great value.

Dragon horns, dragon teeth, and dragon claws are all excellent materials for crafting top-grade magic weapons.

Other dragon eyes, dragon tendons, dragon bones, and other materials also have unique uses in refining weapons and alchemy, and are extremely rare.

Even dragon meat, dragon liver, dragon heart, and dragon blood are considered highly nutritious ingredients and excellent elixirs.

Fifth-tier dragon meat is a top-tier ingredient that even Zhou Chun has never tasted. There are probably only a handful of cultivators in the cultivation world who have had the chance to eat such an ingredient!

In fact, the best way to use such top-quality ingredients is to carefully cook and refine them to remove all impurities before feeding them to cultivators in the Purple Mansion and Golden Core stages.

They consume these spiritual substances to aid their cultivation, as they do not produce any poisons in their bodies, and it is convenient to refine the spiritual energy within them to enhance their cultivation, strengthen their physical bodies, and satisfy their appetites.

Zhou Chun quickly figured out how to deal with these top-quality ingredients.

He will later have children with his Daoist partner Su Yuzhen. If Su Yuzhen, who is pregnant, can eat spiritual food cooked with such top-quality ingredients for a long time, she and the fetus in her womb will definitely benefit greatly.

Even after the fetus is born and begins to cultivate, it can be gradually fed this spiritual food to improve its cultivation level.

With the enormous size of a fifth-order black dragon, it would be enough for one or two people to eat for many years!

As for the dragon blood, Zhou Chun extracted some essence blood as a collection, and planned to put the rest into the family treasury for the younger generation of clansmen to exchange and use.

The Zhou family now has a large number of dragon-descended demonic beasts. If the younger generation of the clansmen are willing to exchange for the blood of a fifth-tier dragon to cultivate spirit pets, they will surely be able to cultivate many powerful demonic beasts.

Of course, the most precious thing on the fifth-tier black dragon is definitely its fifth-tier demon core.

A fifth-grade low-level dragon demon core—its value is practically priceless!

No one would be willing to exchange it for a magical treasure.

However, Zhou Chun would definitely not agree to exchange it for a top-grade magic weapon.

The uses of this kind of treasure are actually not particularly wide-ranging; they are mainly used for refining weapons and alchemy.

When it comes to weapon crafting, only weapon crafters who have reached the Grandmaster level dare to take on this job, unless Zhou Chun is willing to not pursue the responsibility for failure.

As for alchemy, it seems that Zhou Chun doesn't have a suitable formula to use this material.

"No, this thing might be used like this!"

Suddenly, Zhou Chun, who had been pulling his thoughts away from the various pill formulas he knew, thought of another wonderful use for this fifth-order demon core.

That is the cultivation method for the "Second Nascent Soul" recorded in the "Taiyi Two-Part Divine Technique".

After cultivating the Taiyi Two-Part Divine Technique to the third level, the divided soul has the opportunity to evolve into a "second nascent soul".

However, this "opportunity" actually refers to the ability to refine the divided soul into a "second nascent soul" according to the cultivation method recorded above, rather than the soul directly becoming a "second nascent soul".

According to the secret method, in order to refine a split soul into a "second nascent soul", one must find some rare and precious objects in the world as a carrier and refine them with a unique secret method in order to have a chance to achieve the "second nascent soul".

Among the rare and wondrous items mentioned, there just happened to be a fifth-order demon core!

Zhou Chun had already mastered the second level of the Taiyi Two-Part Divine Technique and could break through to the third level at any time.

Now that he has obtained a fifth-tier demon core, it can be said that his "second nascent soul" is already more than halfway to success!

Once he truly cultivates the "Second Nascent Soul," he will indeed surpass the Great Cultivator in certain aspects.

After all, even among those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, only a handful can cultivate a "second Nascent Soul"!

Having figured out how to use the demon core, Zhou Chun took out the dragon horn flying sword magic weapon that the two-headed black dragon had used.

This treasure was clearly forged from the dragon horns of the two-headed black dragon itself, and it also incorporated a lot of rare spiritual metals. He had been refining it as his natal magic weapon for a long time, and it had become a top-grade magic weapon.

However, this treasure may not be suitable for human cultivators; it is more suitable for demon kings.

After examining it, Zhou Chun put it away, intending to use it later for the Golden-Winged Tiger's tribulation.

After taking stock of all the other gains, Zhou Chun finally took out his biggest prize: the spiritual treasure, the True Dragon Seal.

This [True Dragon Seal] had been refined by that two-headed black dragon for a long time, and the spirit inside was quite repulsed by Zhou Chun, so it was unable to recognize him as its master and refine it for a while.

However, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry. He simply used his magic power to cleanse the treasure every day, washing away the traces left by its previous owner.

After three years of cleansing, Zhou Chun had basically cleansed away all traces of the previous owner from the spiritual treasure.

Only then did he unleash the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," which he hadn't used in a long time, and drip his own blood essence onto the treasure seal.

Just as he expected.

The "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," a method derived from the secret techniques recorded within the "True Dragon Treasure Seal," was indeed extremely deceptive to the spirit within, easily allowing Zhou Chun's essence blood to enter the core restrictions of the spiritual treasure.

Having absorbed Zhou Chun's essence and blood, this magical treasure would naturally be unable to escape.

Not long after, Zhou Chun successfully obtained the "Spirit Communication Technique" of the [True Dragon Treasure Seal] from the artifact spirit, as well as the unsurprisingly, the secret technique of "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter".

And this "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" secret technique is indeed very similar to the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" that Zhou Chun cultivated, only it is much more profound and has a much greater difficulty and requirement to cultivate.

This also confirms what he knew: the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" was a secret method that the founder of the Dragon Transformation Sect derived from the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter".

Compared to "The Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," which anyone can cultivate and whose Qi Refining stage cultivation is sufficient to begin, "The Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" has much higher requirements.

One must have at least the Golden Core stage cultivation level, and to even begin, one must use the essence blood of a fifth-order dragon as an aid to cultivation.

Such demanding cultivation conditions are not easy for even ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators to meet.

Moreover, according to the secret manual, even draining the essence and blood of a fifth-order dragon might not be enough to master the technique!

Therefore, the best way is actually to raise a fifth-order dragon and sustainably extract its essence and blood to cultivate the secret technique.

Of course, the increased difficulty of cultivation is directly proportional to its power.

Compared to the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter," which can only be used to assist in unleashing the power of the [Moon Toad Pearl], the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" can be considered a true secret technique for combat.

Even without the [True Dragon Seal], this secret technique can greatly increase a cultivator's physical strength and grant them various innate supernatural abilities that only dragons possess, making it equivalent to an enhanced version of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique"!

When this technique is mastered, one can transform into a true fifth-order dragon. Apart from lacking a demon core, the strength of the physical body is not much weaker than that of a true fifth-order dragon.

If one possesses the [True Dragon Seal], then one becomes even more powerful.

As a treasured artifact crafted with immense effort by the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the True Dragon Seal is significantly stronger than the Moon Toad Pearl.

This treasure also possesses three powerful divine abilities: "Dragon's Roar of Heaven and Earth", "Dragon Soaring Ten Thousand Miles", and "True Dragon Possession".

Zhou Chun had personally experienced the "Heaven and Earth Dragon Roar" divine power, and it was definitely a very practical soul-capturing sonic attack divine power. If the owner of the spiritual treasure was strong enough, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would probably not be completely immune to its effects.

The "Dragon Soars Ten Thousand Miles" divine ability is a powerful auxiliary divine ability that can greatly increase escape speed.

That is to say, the two-headed black dragon was trapped in the "Heavenly Annihilation Four Symbols Formation" at the time, and could not use any escape techniques or supernatural abilities. Otherwise, after activating this supernatural ability, Zhou Chun would not have been able to catch up with him at all.

Zhou Chun had also witnessed the "True Dragon Possession" supernatural power. After the two-headed black dragon used this supernatural power, it directly transformed into a two-headed black dragon, and its supernatural power was greatly enhanced, comparable to the Silver Dragon Lord after using the "True Dragon Shadow" supernatural power!

In fact, this "True Dragon Possession" supernatural power may indeed be related to the "True Dragon's Shadow" supernatural power.

However, after using the "True Dragon Possession" supernatural power, the spiritual treasure suffered a backlash, while the cultivator himself only experienced a slight physical strain.

This "True Dragon Possession" supernatural power can only be used in conjunction with "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter", or only by being a fifth-order dragon!

Zhou Chun had witnessed the power of the two-headed black dragon after it transformed into a two-headed black dragon.

Objectively speaking, if it hadn't been trapped in the "Heavenly Annihilation Four Symbols Formation" and suffered repeated sneak attacks and severe injuries, the two-headed black dragon at that time would definitely have possessed the strength to crush an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and would have been even stronger than the Silver Moon True Person who also possessed a spiritual treasure.

That's truly remarkable!

After all, the two-headed black dragon was only a fifth-order low-grade demon king.

This means that as long as Silver Dragon Lord refines the [True Dragon Seal], he can unleash the strength of a top-tier mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, just like the Two-Headed Black Flood Dragon, or even stronger!

Yes, Zhou Chun intends to hand over the [True Dragon Seal] to Silver Dragon Lord for refinement and use. At least until he has mastered the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit - True Dragon Chapter", Silver Dragon Lord is more suitable for this treasure than he is.

This can be considered compensation for him extracting the essence and blood of the Silver Dragon Lord to cultivate the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter".

Upon seeing that he had entrusted such a precious treasure to him, the Silver Dragon was deeply moved. He immediately knelt on one knee, held the treasure seal in his hands, and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Master. I will certainly live up to your kindness and trust!"

"Get up quickly. We are as close as brothers, there's no need for such formalities."

Zhou Chun quickly stepped forward to help her beloved pet up, speaking in a gentle and kind tone.

After arranging a place for the [True Dragon Treasure Seal], Zhou Chun turned back to fulfill his promise to his elders and Daoist partner, and began to cultivate the [Mysterious Heart Embryo Planting Technique].

This kind of strange technique is not actually very difficult for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to cultivate, after all, it is just a minor unorthodox technique.

After only one year of cultivation, Zhou Chun successfully "implanted" a fetus, resulting in Su Yuzhen's pregnancy.

Upon learning that Su Yuzhen was pregnant, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were overjoyed and immediately spread the good news, which was worthy of celebration by the entire clan.

The Zhou family cultivators who learned of this were indeed genuinely happy for it.

Some of the more shrewd and clever ones have even started looking for relevant spiritual items in advance, hoping to find a chance to please this little darling in the future!

Yes, even in terms of seniority, Zhou Chun's descendants are indeed ancestors in the current Zhou family.

Except for Zhou Xinyan, all members of the "Xin" generation have long since passed away.

As soon as Zhou Chun's children are born, they will be among the top-ranking members of the Zhou family, practically little emperors!

Zhou Chun, of course, didn't care about the thoughts of the people below.

Even he himself didn't say he felt that excited.

While Su Yuzhen focused on nurturing her pregnancy, he continued to maintain his normal daily practice.

The only change is that every now and then, some fifth-tier dragon meat will be taken out, tempered with infant fire, and cooked into spiritual food to nourish the Daoist partner.

It was at this moment that Luo Qingni suddenly informed Zhou Chun that she was going to start refining the [Jiazi Longevity Pill].

Upon receiving the notification, Zhou Chun agreed without hesitation.

The friendship between the two has withstood the test of time and life and death.

Since Luo Qingni prepared for so long before starting to refine pills, it means that she was already well-prepared.

Therefore, Zhou Chun didn't bother to ask her how confident she was, nor did he need to supervise her alchemy process.

Sure enough, about a hundred days later, Zhou Chun received the good news of his success.

"Qing Ni has lived up to expectations, successfully producing two pills on her first attempt!"

"These two [Longevity Pills] were made using [Longevity Grass] that is over five thousand years old, so their lifespan-extending effect is enhanced. The first dose should extend one's lifespan by more than seventy years!"

Inside Luo Qingni's cave, facing Zhou Chun who had come upon hearing the news, she handed him two freshly made spirit pills with a smile, explaining the results of her alchemy.

Zhou Chun took the elixir from her, examined it carefully, and exclaimed with satisfaction, "Excellent! I knew it! If you, Qing Ni, were to do it yourself, there wouldn't be any problems!"

After saying that, he pushed one of the pill bottles containing the elixir back to Luo Qingni.

Seeing this, Luo Qingni frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask him, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and said, "Qing Ni, you have worked tirelessly for the Zhou family over the years, refining pills and training the younger generation. This [Jiazi Longevity Pill] would have been difficult to refine without your unparalleled skill, so you must accept this elixir!"

Without waiting for Luo Qingni to refuse, he waved his hand and said, "Qingni, you don't need to be so polite with me. Although we can't use this longevity elixir right now, the increase in lifespan after taking it is real. From the Zhou family's perspective, it's a great thing that your lifespan has been extended!"

"Besides, doesn't Zhou still have a [Longevity Grass]? Qingni, you just need to work a little harder later and refine another batch of elixirs."

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Luo Qingni still shook her head and said, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Zhou's kindness, but you should accept this [Jiazi Longevity Pill]."

He then looked directly at Zhou Chun and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Su is pregnant with Fellow Daoist Zhou's child, and she has basically lost the possibility of forming a Nascent Soul, giving her this [Jiazi Longevity Pill] should be the best choice."

Then, changing the subject again, she said, "As for the remaining [Longevity Grass], let's wait until Qing Ni's alchemy skills are more refined and she has a greater chance of success before refining it!"

Zhou Chun was also taken aback by her words and was momentarily stunned.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhou Chun nodded slightly, put the elixir back, and smiled at her, saying, "Qing Ni, you are so thoughtful. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have overlooked this matter. So, on behalf of Yu Zhen, I thank you, Qing Ni."

After saying that, he added, "However, my words still stand. The next batch of [Jiazi Longevity Pills] will definitely include one for you, Qingni!"

"Then Qingni thanks Fellow Daoist Zhou in advance."

Luo Qingni smiled knowingly and did not refuse his kindness.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Chun asked about the refining of the Purple Flower Crimson Pearl Pill, wanting to know when Luo Qingni planned to refine this elixir.

Luo Qingni gave a clear answer for the first time: after she has fully digested the experience and insights gained from refining the [Jiazi Longevity Pill], and after preparing for another year or two, she can start refining the pill.

February is over! I've been doing terrible updates for most of this month, but I'll definitely bounce back next month!
