Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Zhou Chun had not expected that the God Tai Geng would suddenly visit the Zhou family.

The news brought back by the God Tai Geng shocked him even more.

According to the Tai Geng God, a calamity of forty-nine layers appeared on the Dolan Grassland, and some people witnessed the final tribulation lightning strike!

This situation most likely means that someone from the Multiwinged Clan has successfully advanced to the sixth rank!

With the human race now lacking two Nascent Soul cultivators, the alien race has gained another sixth-tier powerhouse.

This imbalance in the number of top-tier beings is undoubtedly extremely fatal!

Fortunately, Tai Geng Divine Venerable also said that the multi-winged clan ancestor who killed Tianyi Divine Venerable was most likely already dead, otherwise there would not have been a multi-winged clan expert forcibly attempting to break through to the sixth rank at this time.

However, several Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the human race are now very puzzled as to how that multi-winged race expert managed to successfully overcome three tribulations in a row.

Prior to this, they had not discovered that the Multiwinged Race possessed such an outstanding fifth-tier expert!

Unfortunately, the other party has now successfully advanced to the sixth rank, so there is basically no hope of learning this secret from him.

After sharing what he knew with Zhou Chun, Tai Geng Divine Venerable glanced at him and asked, "Judging by the time, the turbid evil energy will dissipate in about three hundred years. What are your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied frankly, "Senior Tai Geng is wise. I have completed the task entrusted to me by Senior Chang Chun and obtained some good things. I am not too worried about the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' and the Four-Nine Tribulation in the future."

"However, the 'Cataclysmic Tribulation' is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Although I am currently practicing secret techniques such as the 'Golden Body Qi Absorption Method' and the 'Divine Thought Body Preservation Method,' I still dare not claim any certainty regarding this tribulation!"

Unexpectedly, even the God of Tai Geng was slightly startled after hearing his words.

She couldn't help but look at him and ask, "You said you completed the task that Senior Changchun entrusted to you? When did that happen?"

This reaction surprised Zhou Chun slightly.

His mind raced, but he quickly replied, "It happened decades ago. I discovered the revived spiritual root in the Misty Immortal Ridge of Liang Kingdom and reported it to Senior Changchun. Senior Changchun then sent the Green-Robed Venerable to accompany me there, where they killed the Chongxuan Demon King who was guarding the spiritual root!"

He then described the situation in detail, and even took out the [Qiankun Stone] and [Hunyuan Xuanjing] that he had obtained in the Chongxuan Demon King's cave for Taigeng God Venerable to examine, not even hiding the fact that there were two rare spiritual herbs.

However, Tai Geng God Venerable's mind was not on the things he had obtained at this moment.

Compared to a cultivated spiritual root, those things are nothing!

At this moment, Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, looked at Zhou Chun, who was still kept in the dark, and his feelings were extremely complicated.

To be honest, when Venerable Changchun entrusted Zhou Chun with this matter, neither he nor Venerable Changchun himself took it seriously.

Therefore, he did not tell Zhou Chun about the acquired spiritual root.

But none of them expected that Zhou Chun would actually manage to get it done!

At this moment, Tai Geng God Venerable also felt some regret, thinking that he shouldn't have removed his avatar from the Zhou family.

Otherwise, Zhou Chun would definitely have reported it to him after finding that acquired spiritual root, and then he would have had a chance to obtain an acquired spiritual root!

Although he deeply respected Venerable Changchun as an elder, he would certainly not give up such a precious treasure as an acquired spiritual root if he had the opportunity to obtain it himself.

It was because he was broad-minded and understood Zhou Chun's character that he succeeded. Otherwise, someone with a narrow mind might have lost their composure and complained about why Zhou Chun hadn't told them the news first.

After a long silence, he slowly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "You did a great job. Senior Changchun has always been happy to mentor the younger generation. You have done him a great favor this time. When you are about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will certainly help you without hesitation!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun felt relieved and replied with a smile, "With Senior Tai Geng's words, this junior is truly at ease!"

Then, looking at Tai Geng with expectant eyes, he said, "Senior Tai Geng, you are wise. I would like to ask you for another favor: please help me integrate that [Qiankun Stone] into my natal magic weapon, and then refine the [Hun Yuan Xuan Jing] into a defensive spiritual treasure so that I can face the Forty-Nine Tribulations in the future!"

Upon hearing his request, Tai Geng Divine Venerable immediately nodded and said, "The Qiankun Stone has spatial attributes. If it is integrated into one's natal magic weapon, it will indeed have many wonderful uses and will be more helpful in comprehending the laws of space."

But then he changed the subject, saying, "However, I possess an ancient method for crafting spiritual treasures called the [Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Pagoda]. Its main materials are [Qiankun Stone] and [Hunyuan Mystic Crystal]. This treasure not only contains the universe within, capable of suppressing powerful enemies, but also possesses formidable defensive capabilities. More importantly, it has the potential to be upgraded to a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure in the future!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "You happen to have some rare spiritual materials like the [Ten Thousand Gold Mother Stone]. If you could incorporate some more of the [Ten Thousand Gold Mother Stone], both the power and spirituality of this [Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Tower] would be greatly enhanced. If you could diligently refine it into your natal magic weapon and successfully achieve the Divine Transformation stage in the future, its advancement to a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure should be quite easy!"

It is obvious that the opinion of the Divine Lord Tai Geng is still to advise Zhou Chun to choose the latter.

It must be said that Zhou Chun was also moved after hearing his words.

Zhou Chun had long heard of the power of the Heavenly Treasure, and had even witnessed the divine might of the broken Heavenly Treasure, the Haoyang Divine Mirror.

It's impossible for him not to be tempted.

If the Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda can truly become a Heavenly Treasure after Tai Geng Shenzun's successful transformation into a deity, then he will definitely have made a huge profit!

Having thought of this, he immediately made up his mind and said, "In that case, please ask Senior Tai Geng to help me refine the [Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Pagoda]!"

"A wise choice."

Tai Geng God Venerable nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his choice.

It should be understood that with Tai Geng Divine Venerable's weapon-refining skills, refining ordinary spiritual treasures would not be difficult at all, nor would it allow him to improve his weapon-refining skills.

However, ancient spiritual treasures like the Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda are an exception.

These ancient spiritual treasures have strict requirements for the materials used in their crafting. Putting aside the difficulty of crafting them, the chance of successfully crafting one is truly crucial.

Now that Zhou Chun has been able to provide the most important materials, he naturally wants to replicate this ancient spiritual treasure.

After accepting the three materials Zhou Chun handed over, he didn't mention the other materials needed to refine the spiritual treasure. He directly said to Zhou Chun, "This treasure is not easy to refine. I also need to think about it carefully. It may take more than ten years to refine. When it is successfully refined, I will have my avatar deliver it to you."

"I understand. I'll leave everything to Senior Taigeng."

Zhou Chun nodded, having no objection.

After thinking for a moment, he cautiously looked at Tai Geng and asked, "May I ask Senior Tai Geng, are the rumors about Senior Yuan Yang true or false?"

He had wanted to ask this question ever since he saw the God Tai Geng, but he hadn't found the right opportunity before.

Now that he had accomplished what he wanted to ask for, he took the opportunity to ask.

After hearing his question, Tai Geng Divine Venerable remained silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure about this matter either. Yuan Yang had already informed us not to contact him anymore and had proactively severed all ties!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "I know you and Yuan Yang had some conflicts in the past, but that's all in the past. Now you and your Zhou family are doing very well here, so there's no need to hold grudges. Some things should be let go!"

"I didn't mean to seek revenge, but the matter has been widely discussed. Since I have the opportunity to meet Senior Tai Geng today, I'll just mention it casually."

Zhou Chun muttered a defense in her own voice, of course not admitting that she had any other thoughts.

Fortunately, the Divine Lord Tai Geng didn't delve too deeply into the matter, but simply said to him, "In short, you should also prepare yourself. Before the turbid evil energy dissipates, those alien races will definitely launch a counterattack, and that will be the greatest test for our human race!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's expression turned serious, and he solemnly replied, "This junior understands. This junior will always be prepared!"

After the conversation concluded, Tai Geng Shen Zun left the Zhou family.

His purpose in going to the depths of Tianman Plains was to meet with the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint and try to investigate the background of the newly promoted sixth-level expert of the Multi-Winged Clan. His visit to the Zhou family to see Zhou Chun was merely a side trip.

After speaking with Tai Geng, Zhou Chun gave Zhou Yuanxin an order to have the Zhou family cultivators practice battle formation techniques more often and familiarize themselves with large-scale army combat.

As for himself, he continued to maintain his original spiritual practice plan in an orderly manner.

However, the words of the Tai Geng God Venerable did have some impact on his heart.

If a fifth-tier holy mage of the multi-winged race could successfully transform into a god at such a time, is it really impossible for him to do the same?

With the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] in existence, Zhou Chun was not as wary of the turbid evil energy as others.

Even though the "Cataclysm of Primordial Qi" will attract a large amount of turbid and evil energy into his body, he only needs to fill the "Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar" with "Purifying Holy Water" in advance, and he will not be afraid of the erosion of the turbid and evil energy.

However, both Tai Geng and Tian Yi had said that after the turbid evil energy completely dissipated, a tide of spiritual energy from heaven and earth would descend, making it easier to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, Zhou Chun hesitated.

Of course, it's too early to talk about those things now. His most important task right now is to accumulate his magical power to perfection as soon as possible, otherwise he won't even be qualified to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the blink of an eye, fourteen years have passed.

After a fourteen-year wait, Zhou Chun finally saw the incarnation of the God Tai Geng.

"This is the [Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Pagoda]. Because you need to refine this treasure into your natal magic weapon, I haven't allowed its spirit to be tainted by any foreign magical energy. After you've finished refining it, let me see its true power!"

On Kunwu Peak, when the avatar of the Tai Geng God saw Zhou Chun, he didn't waste any time and simply took out the treasure and tossed it to him.

"Thank you very much, Senior Taigeng, for bestowing this treasure."

Zhou Chun thanked him and then took the treasure in his hand, examining it carefully.

This [Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda] has seven stories and is bright yellow in color. The pagoda is decorated with reliefs of powerful mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, as well as patterns of the sun, moon, and stars. It is clear at a glance that this is no ordinary object.

After examining it for a moment, Zhou Chun no longer hesitated. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood essence and began to refine the treasure.

In fact, most cultivators will only refine one natal magic weapon in their lifetime.

Because a cultivator's natal magic weapon is equivalent to a part of their body, damage to it will have a significant impact on the cultivator.

Moreover, the longer the natal magic weapon is refined, the greater this effect will be.

For a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Zhou Chun, if his natal magic weapon is completely destroyed, it would be even more serious than destroying his physical body, directly making it difficult for him to break through to a higher realm!

At the same time, unlike other magic treasures, which can be nurtured periodically as long as they are not starving, a natal magic treasure must be constantly nurtured by the cultivator's natal essence.

This will inevitably slow down the cultivation progress of some cultivators.

Therefore, if one refines too many natal magic treasures, not only will one's cultivation progress be slow, but one will also have more weaknesses during battles.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to refine a second natal magic weapon, they will generally choose magic weapons that are difficult to destroy or that do not give others the opportunity to destroy them.

The Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda is undoubtedly a treasure that is difficult to destroy.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to attack this treasure without the aid of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, it would not be easy to destroy it once it has an owner.

This is also why the God Tai Geng suggested that Zhou Chun refine it into his natal magic weapon.

After spending several days refining the Qiankun Zhenling Pagoda into his natal magic weapon, Zhou Chun instantly gained a detailed understanding of its supernatural powers.

Just as Tai Geng Shen Zun said, the supernatural power of this treasure is to absorb and suppress enemies, while at the same time it can release powerful defensive spiritual light to protect its master.

As for its specific power, that will require testing.

As Zhou Chun was pondering who should be the test subject, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord volunteered, saying, "Let me be the first test subject. I also want to see if this ancient spiritual treasure is truly as powerful as described in the ancient texts!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun no longer hesitated and immediately nodded, saying, "Since Senior Tai Geng is willing to offer guidance, then this junior will accept it without hesitation!"

Then the two left the Zhou family's mountain gate and went straight to the highest heavens.

High in the azure sky, Zhou Chun and the incarnation of the God Tai Geng faced each other from a distance of several dozen miles.

"Senior Taigeng, I have offended you."

Zhou Chun first bowed to the avatar of Tai Geng God, then opened his mouth and spat out a bright yellow spiritual light, which landed in the air and transformed into a seven-story pagoda that was tens of feet tall.

"Boundless Heaven and Earth, Absorb the Spirit!"

With a shout from Zhou Chun, the pagoda in the sky spun rapidly under his magical power and instantly appeared above the head of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar. Then, a silver-gray vortex of light appeared beneath the pagoda.

Instantly, a powerful suction force enveloped the avatar of Tai Geng Divine Lord, requiring him to exert all his magical power to barely resist it.

After resisting for a while, he suddenly let go of the resistance, allowing himself to be drawn into the silver-gray vortex of light by the suction force.

In the next instant, the avatar of Tai Geng appeared in the inner space of the Qiankun Zhenling Tower, surrounded by thick walls that shimmered with yellow spiritual light.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a sword aura that struck the wall, causing only a slight flicker of spiritual light before nothing more happened.

Just as he was about to unleash his natal flying sword to attack, Zhou Chun's deep shout rang out again.

"Heaven and Earth in Harmony, Suppress the Spirit!"

As soon as the sound faded, the four walls shone brightly with spiritual light, and the yellow light instantly filled the space.

Then the avatar of the Tai Geng God felt a sudden weight on his body, as if he were carrying a dozen mountains on his back, and he could barely stand.

At the same time, his meridians were blocked and severed by a foreign force, and even his nascent soul was suppressed by an invisible force, making it extremely difficult for him to circulate his magical power.

Of course, this does not mean that a swordsman like him will be completely deprived of his ability to resist.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly uttered a low shout: "I am the sword, capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth!"

With a shout, a brilliant sword light suddenly erupted from his body, condensing into a huge golden flying sword that slashed towards the top of his head.

Instantly, the entire [Qiankun Zhenling Tower] began to shake violently, as if the sky were about to collapse and the earth to cave in.

Zhou Chun, who was outside, had several-tenths of his own magical power instantly drawn away by this natal spiritual treasure to suppress and resist internal resistance.

After such a tremor, although it also caused Zhou Chun, the master, to have his blood and qi churning, it ultimately succeeded in suppressing the attack of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable's incarnation.

Having reached this point, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord had gained sufficient understanding of the power of the Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Tower, and thus ceased further investigation.

After all, this spiritual treasure is now Zhou Chun's natal spiritual treasure. If he were to unleash his strongest attack, even if he couldn't break through the pagoda, he would certainly cause great damage to it, which would defeat the purpose of the sparring test.

Therefore, he quickly stopped and said, "Alright, you can release me now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's mind stirred, and a window on the fourth floor of the bright yellow pagoda opened, "spitting out" the avatar of the Tai Geng God.

Then he raised his hand and beckoned, and the bright yellow pagoda in the sky quickly shrank, turning into a stream of light that entered his hand, manifesting as a miniature pagoda only one foot and seven inches tall, which he held directly in his hand.

After Tai Geng Divine Lord manifested, he first tidied his disheveled clothes and long hair before looking at Zhou Chun and asking, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the power of this [Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Tower]?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun smiled broadly and replied repeatedly, "Satisfied, extremely satisfied! Thank you, Senior Tai Geng, for crafting such a precious treasure for me!"

After speaking, he bowed and thanked the avatar of the deity Tai Geng.

As the owner of the magical treasure, he felt its power more acutely than the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord during the sparring session just now.

To put it bluntly, without a Heaven-Reaching Treasure or a damaged Heaven-Reaching Treasure, any late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator or a fifth-order high-grade demon king who is sucked into the tower will almost certainly never be able to get out again!

Such a powerful spiritual treasure is definitely no less than the [Purple Sun Divine Sword] of the Holy Fire Sect, nor is it inferior to the [Five Elements Divine Sand Gourd] of the Divine Sand Sect.

If he was still somewhat skeptical about whether this treasure could be upgraded to a Heavenly Treasure in the future, he is now much more confident.

Faced with Zhou Chun's thanks, the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable didn't pay much attention, and simply commented: "The suppression and sealing ability of this treasure goes without saying. However, its absorption power is slightly flawed for late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and it needs to be activated at the right time."

"Furthermore, we must guard against the enemies inside, who, having no hope of escape, might self-destruct their nascent souls or demon cores!"

"Therefore, the power to suppress spirits becomes extremely important; you must make good use of it!"

As someone who experienced it firsthand, he has more authority to speak on these matters than Zhou Chun.

After hearing his comments, Zhou Chun nodded repeatedly and replied, "Senior Tai Geng's teachings are correct. This junior will certainly keep your teachings in mind and make good use of this treasure."

"Well then, I won't linger any longer. You may continue your cultivation diligently!"

The avatar of the God Tai Geng spoke, and then left decisively.

After seeing off the incarnation of Tai Geng, Zhou Chun tried out a few more spirit pets, and the results were very satisfactory to him.

Faced with the slightly flawed absorption power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it was difficult for Silver Dragon Lord and Mountain Lord, mid-grade fifth-order demon kings, to resist.

Once they are sucked in, the powerful spirit-suppressing magic can directly seal most of their magical power, making them unable to make a ripple at all!

At the same time, Zhou Chun also discovered some wonderful uses for this treasure, namely, it can be used to store a large amount of resources and even spirit beasts!

Because it is made from the rare spiritual mineral with spatial properties, the Qiankun Suppressing Spirit Tower has a very vast space inside. Even the mountain-sized Fushan Jun can be easily contained inside.

Therefore, Zhou Chun could even arrange for the demon king's spirit pets to be stationed inside, and once the enemy was sucked in, he could have the demon king's spirit pets gang up on him!

These discoveries made him even more enamored with this magical artifact.

Such a treasure is worthy of his current status and position!

Even if he encounters powerful individuals with damaged Heaven-Reaching Treasures in the future, he won't have to rely solely on the [Nine Luminaries Dragon Scale Shield] for defense anymore. He can seize any opportunity to launch a surprise attack!

In the days that followed, Zhou Chun took great care in nurturing the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower], even more so than his first natal magic weapon, the [Wanhua Jinding].

More than ten years later, with the help of the [Four Spirits Breakthrough Pill] refined by Luo Qingni, Zhou Xinyuan successfully broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. He then began cultivating the [Purple Flower Demon-Subduing Spiritual Light] secret technique to prepare for the Core Formation and Nascent Soul formation. (End of Chapter)
