Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Kunwu Mountain.

Perhaps inspired by the newly emerged sixth-tier powerhouse of the Multiwinged Clan, or perhaps because they were getting closer to the dissipation of the turbid evil energy, the three alien races on the Tianman Plain were beginning to stir.

Although the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint had been outmaneuvered by Venerable Changchun, he, a Barbarian Saint who was no longer at the sixth rank, was clearly unable to completely control the other two alien races.

Moreover, in order not to expose himself, he dared not issue any orders that clearly violated the interests of the alien alliance.

Therefore, some spies from the Five Elements Spirit Clan and the Heavenly Soul Clan now dare to appear within the territory of the Yu Kingdom. Some Yu Kingdom cultivators have even encountered them and engaged in fierce battles.

When the news reached Zhou Chun, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately issued an order: any foreign race that dared to enter the Yu Kingdom should not be allowed to live!

Furthermore, anyone who kills a foreign race that enters the Yu Kingdom can claim a generous reward from the Zhou family by presenting the corpse.

Today, Zhou Chun no longer takes the three major alien races of Tianman Plain seriously.

Not to boast, but even if he were to besiege all five fifth-tier beings from the three major alien races, he could leave whenever he wanted!

After all, after the last war, there were only three or four fifth-tier superior beings left among the three major alien races.

Zhou Chun currently has two demon king spirit pets under his command that can unleash the combat power of a great cultivator.

If the Yu Kingdom hadn't been relatively weak, it wouldn't have been impossible for one country to hold off three different ethnic groups!

Therefore, Zhou Chun would not tolerate those three alien races at all, and his attitude was very clear and firm.

However, due to the movements of the alien race, he still felt some pressure, so he announced that he would go into seclusion to prepare to accumulate his magic power to perfection in one go.

After another thirty-six years of seclusion, Zhou Chun finally achieved his goal and his magical power reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Upon reaching this level, when he entered meditation, he felt a faint urge to forcefully absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body and break through to the Nascent Soul realm!

Of course, this was just a subtle impulse. With his mental cultivation at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, he wouldn't be unable to control even this small impulse.

However, once you reach this stage, there is indeed no need for meditation or cultivation anymore; all your time can be spent on comprehending the Dao, exploring the mysteries, and cultivating secret techniques and supernatural powers.

So he naturally passed through the pass.

By this time, Zhou Xinyuan had already successfully cultivated the secret technique of "Purple Flower Demon-Subduing Spiritual Light". After Zhou Chun came out of seclusion, he came to ask about the matter of transforming the core and forming the nascent soul.

Zhou Chun simply stared into his eyes and asked, "Are you sure you're ready? Even with the help of various spiritual objects, the Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation only offer one chance. It's all or nothing!"

"baby……"

Zhou Xinyuan's gaze darted away slightly, avoiding Zhou Chun's eyes, clearly indicating a lack of confidence.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun shook his head and said, "See for yourself. You don't even have the most basic self-confidence, so how can you rashly attempt to form your core and nascent soul!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Go, cultivate more supernatural abilities and secret techniques, raise more spirit pets, and then go find those cultivators who defeated you to spar with, regain your confidence, and then we can talk about the Core Formation and Nascent Soul formation!"

"Yes, I understand."

Zhou Xinyuan lowered her head with a look of shame, gave a soft reply, and then withdrew.

Zhou Chun quickly summoned Zhou Yuanxin and learned about the various things that had happened during his years of seclusion.

Thirty-six years is not a short time, and naturally a lot of things happened during that period.

Within the Zhou family, another Golden Core cultivator, Zhou Fule, has emerged. He is a Zhou family alchemist and is already capable of refining some high-level pills, so he can barely be called an alchemy master.

Before Zhou Fule, while Zhou Chun was waiting for the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower], another member of the Zhou family, Zhou Futong, who had a good talent for formations, also successfully formed his core. After forming his core, he also made great progress in formations and can now be called a formation master.

In this way, the number of Golden Core stage cultivators in the Zhou family has once again reached two palms' worth, and among them are people who are proficient in formations, alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and beast taming.

Such multifaceted success is enough to demonstrate that Zhou Chun's previous plan was very successful.

With these people as the backbone, it will be much easier for the Zhou family to cultivate various technical talents in the future, and the family's foundation will be steadily improved.

Meanwhile, in the human cultivation world outside the Zhou family, two more late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators have emerged.

The first one is from the Snow Soul Palace, a major sect of the Yang Kingdom in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, named Ice Spirit True Person.

The breakthrough of this Ice Spirit True Person perfectly filled the void left by the death of Xuanzhen True Person, giving the Heavenly Spirit Alliance a qualified leader again.

The second is Yuan Qing Zhenren, the third elder of Tianyi Sect. Tianyi Sect may have been training him to succeed Tian Xuan Zhenren, whose lifespan was not long.

Meanwhile, in the far west, a piece of news also came that surprised Zhou Chunwei.

That is, the Heavenly Fire Sect has actually produced a second Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

For this reason, Master Liehuo specially sent someone to the Zhou family to report this happy news, and said that he would visit Zhou Chun in the Yu Kingdom when he had free time in the future.

In addition, news also came from Lu Yuanjun in Liang Kingdom that the Green Robe Venerable had restored most of the vitality of that spiritual root and would be able to return soon.

Furthermore, as a reward, the Green-Robed Venerable also gifted him a wood-attribute spiritual treasure, the [Senluo Treasure Banner].

In this way, Zhou Chun's five demon king spirit pets will all have spirit treasures by their side.

After gathering information from all sides, Zhou Chun went to visit Luo Qingni.

Time is the best healer.

Luo Qingni, who had once firmly rejected Zhou Chun's proposal to become his Daoist partner, has softened her stance considerably, although she still has no such intentions.

After Zhou Chun treated her with courtesy and moved her with emotion, the two once again practiced the Great Dao of Dual Cultivation together, and their relationship became much closer.

After staying in Luo Qingni's cave for several months, Zhou Chun finally broke free from his entanglement and went to Changchun Valley.

Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage and can break through to the Divine Transformation stage at any time, it is time for him to go and consult Venerable Changchun and ask for the spiritual item that the other party promised.

This week, Chun visited Changchun Valley for the third time.

At this moment, his nascent soul was at its peak, and his divine sense had reached its limit. With his full perception, he could vaguely detect some traces of the Changchun Valley's formation.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, since ancient times, there had been no formations in the cultivation world that could directly keep out Nascent Soul stage experts.

Any formation, if not presided over by a Nascent Soul stage expert, will inevitably be broken sooner or later when faced with an attack from a true Nascent Soul stage expert!

Although the formation in Changchun Valley is mysterious, it should not exceed this limit.

About fifteen minutes after Zhou Chun revealed his aura, the woman in green named "Li Niang" reappeared and led him into Changchun Valley.

The woman in green didn't know what kind of demon beast it was. Even though Zhou Chun had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't discern its true nature without taking action.

After arriving near the Immortal Pine, Zhou Chun stopped several dozen feet away and bowed to the old man under the tree, saying, "This junior, Zhou Zhengchun, has come uninvited. Please forgive me, Senior Changchun!"

Venerable Changchun glanced at him slightly, then said calmly, "Young friend, you have already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Did you come here today to inquire about the matter of the Deity Transformation stage?"

"Senior Changchun's strategies are truly brilliant; this is precisely why I have come!"

Zhou Chun responded respectfully, not surprised that the other party could see that.

If it weren't for such an important matter, how could a Nascent Soul cultivator dare to visit the cave of a Deity Transformation cultivator with whom he had a relatively shallow relationship without being summoned?

Seeing that he did not deny it, Venerable Changchun spoke again: "Tai Geng should have already told you that I have a spiritual tea called [Mysterious Sound Dao Tea], which can be used to help overcome the 'Heart Demon Tribulation'."

"Since you have completed my request, I can give you a cup of [Mysterious Sound Dao Tea] and a copy of the Nascent Soul Transformation Insights."

Zhou Chun was somewhat surprised that the purpose of this trip was achieved so easily.

Recalling what Venerable Taigeng had said—that Venerable Changchun loved to mentor promising juniors—he finally believed that what the other party said was true.

He bowed again with deep gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Senior Changchun, for bestowing this treasure upon me. I will never forget your great kindness!"

Then, Venerable Changchun raised his hand and a celadon jade bottle appeared in his hand. He tossed it to Zhou Chun and said in a deep voice, "This bottle contains the [Mysterious Sound Dao Tea]. This tea is a specially made tea pill. It doesn't need any brewing. Just put it in your mouth and its medicinal power will slowly dissipate. You must not take it beforehand!"

After saying that, he summoned another jade slip containing his insights into the Nascent Soul stage and tossed it to Zhou Chun.

After accepting the two items, Zhou Chun replied with gratitude, "Thank you for the treasures, Senior Changchun. I will never forget your teachings."

After thanking him, he was prepared to take his leave tactfully.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Changchun suddenly looked at him and asked, "We are not far from the dissipation of the turbid evil energy. Do you intend to wait until the turbid evil energy dissipates before attempting to transform into a Nascent Soul?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback, then hesitated and replied in a low voice, "This... I haven't decided yet."

Upon hearing his answer, Venerable Changchun didn't offer much comment, but simply said slowly, "The dissipation of the turbid evil energy does indeed help in overcoming the 'Crimson Qi Tribulation,' but if the tide of spiritual energy descends, it's hard to guarantee that the power of the 'Crimson Qi Tribulation' and the Four-Nine Tribulation won't increase. Therefore, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's expression immediately changed.

This was the first time he had heard this claim, and the God Tai Geng had never told him about it.

Or perhaps even Tai Geng himself didn't know.

After all, the arrival of the spiritual energy tide is still just speculation, and no one dares to guarantee whether it will actually happen!

However, if what Venerable Changchun said is true, then choosing to dissipate the turbid evil energy before attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage might not be as easy as it is now.

The specific choice is something Zhou Chun needs to carefully consider.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't forget to express his gratitude, saying, "This junior understands. Thank you, Senior Changchun, for informing me of this matter!"

Then he formally took his leave.

After leaving Changchun Valley, Zhou Chun did not immediately return to his family, but instead headed west to find Tai Geng, the Divine Lord.

He wanted to verify what Venerable Changchun had said with Venerable Taigeng, and at the same time ask him for the Transformation of Godhood insights that had been promised.

Compared to the insights of others on the Nascent Soul stage, the insights of Tai Geng, who also cultivated metal-attribute techniques, were more relevant to Zhou Chun.

Soon after, Zhou Chun arrived outside the secret mansion of Tai Geng Divine Venerable and activated the protective array of the mansion.

After waiting for a short while, Hou Bin, the head steward of the secret residence, came out to greet Zhou Chun and ushered him into the secret residence.

However, the true body of the Tai Geng God Venerable was not in the secret palace; only his avatar was there to oversee things.

However, his incarnation was unaware of such important information as the insights gained from the transformation into a deity.

Therefore, after understanding Zhou Chun's purpose, the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable could only help him inform his main body.

After waiting for a while inside the secret chamber, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord finally spoke, saying, "I already know your purpose. Now, come with me to my cave dwelling!"

With that, he took Zhou Chun and left the secret mansion, heading straight for the true location of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable's cave.

This was Zhou Chun's first time visiting the cave of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable, and he was quite curious about where this senior's cave was located.

After flying for most of the day following the avatar of the deity Tai Geng, he arrived at Xiliang, a small country near Wuyang.

The territory of Xiliang Kingdom is only half the size of Jing Kingdom, and there are only two Nascent Soul stage forces within its borders, with only three Nascent Soul stage cultivators at present.

Such a small country would normally be ranked at the bottom among all the countries in the human cultivation world, even inferior to the Yu Kingdom, which had only been established for a few hundred years.

But who could have imagined that such a small country would have a Nascent Soul stage Venerable living in seclusion!

After flying for a while in the territory of the Western Liang Kingdom with the incarnation of the Tai Geng God, Zhou Chun arrived above a large lake.

Then, the avatar of the God Tai Geng directly led him into the lake!

A moment later, Zhou Chun and the avatar of Tai Geng appeared in a cave at the bottom of a lake.

Who would have thought that the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul stage Venerable like Tai Geng was located at the bottom of the lake?

However, once Zhou Chun entered the cave, he understood why the cave of the Tai Geng God Venerable was located here.

Not to mention the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, the metal-attribute spiritual energy is also extremely active. Zhou Chun felt that the cave might be located in a mineral vein.

However, this cave dwelling is not large, and there are very few cultivators inside; it seems to be just a secluded cave dwelling for quiet cultivation.

Tai Geng Shenzun had already finished his seclusion when Zhou Chun entered, so he quickly met this benefactor in his life.

"This junior pays respects to Senior Tai Geng."

Inside the cave, Zhou Chun saw the God Tai Geng and respectfully bowed deeply.

After carefully examining him for a moment, Tai Geng Divine Venerable nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, you've reached the Nascent Soul stage so quickly, earlier than I expected."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a jade slip appeared in his hand, which he then tossed to Zhou Chun.

"Here is the Nascent Soul cultivation experience you requested. Please keep it safe for now."

Such a decisive and efficient style is hard not to like.

After receiving the jade slip, Zhou Chun quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Tai Geng. I am deeply grateful for your great kindness."

Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, simply waved his hand and said, "Work hard. If you can successfully transform into a deity, our human race will have another powerful figure, and those alien races will dare not act recklessly!"

"Yes, this junior will never forget Senior Tai Geng's teachings."

Zhou Chun responded and then took the initiative to talk about his experience in Changchun Valley. He also took out the [Mysterious Sound Dao Tea] he had received and handed it to Tai Geng God Venerable for inspection.

Seeing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable couldn't help but glance at him and say, "You're quite cautious, aren't you? Are you afraid that Senior Changchun will deceive a junior like you?"

Despite saying that, he still helped Zhou Chunyan examine the [Mysterious Sound Dao Tea] inside the blue porcelain bottle.

After examining the item, he resealed the celadon bottle and tossed it to Zhou Chun, saying, "It's definitely genuine. Keep it safe."

"Senior Changchun's statement about the tides of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, do you, Senior Taigeng, believe it to be true?"

After Zhou Chun took back the [Mysterious Sound Dao Tea], he asked about another matter that he was concerned about.

Upon hearing his question, Tai Geng Divine Venerable remained silent for a while before slowly nodding and saying, "Senior Changchun's statement does indeed have some merit!"

"The arrival of the spiritual energy tide of heaven and earth increases the concentration of spiritual energy, which is of course of great help to cultivators in their cultivation and breakthroughs. However, the arrival of the spiritual energy tide may also make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more active, indirectly increasing the difficulty of the 'Crimson Tribulation of Primordial Energy'."

"And the Forty-Nine Tribulations were indeed far more powerful in ancient times than they are now!"

At this point, Tai Geng Divine Venerable added, "However, all of this is speculation. If the tide of spiritual energy doesn't descend, or if it descends after the turbid evil energy has dissipated for a period of time, that will be the best opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Hearing him say that, Zhou Chun was indeed finding it difficult to make a decision.

After hesitating and weighing his options for a while, he said in a low voice, "I have some methods to neutralize the threat of this turbid energy. If that's the case, Senior Tai Geng, do you think it would be better in the current situation?"

Upon hearing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable frowned, then looked at him solemnly and said, "I must remind you of one thing: when you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the massive amount of spiritual energy brought by the 'Primordial Qi Tribulation' cannot be easily purified by a purification array. Even if you have spiritual objects prepared to resolve the turbid and malevolent energy, you may not have the time to concentrate on using them!"

However, this warning was completely unimportant to Zhou Chun.

However, in order not to reveal the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar], Zhou Chun still asked, "Then, if I may be so bold as to ask, how did you and the other seniors resolve this issue back then?"

Upon hearing this, the Divine Lord Tai Geng did not take offense at his offense. Instead, he patiently explained, "Of course, it was only through my own strong will and the spiritual objects I had prepared beforehand to dispel the turbid and evil energy that I managed to survive. It was an extremely dangerous situation, and even I dare not say I could succeed if I had to do it again!"

This answer actually calmed Zhou Chun down.

He immediately nodded solemnly and said, "I understand now, and I will seriously consider this matter."

Seeing this, the God of Tai Geng did not try to persuade him further, but simply nodded slightly and said, "Then think it over carefully yourself. I have done all I can to help you. The rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun bowed deeply with gratitude and said, "Senior Tai Geng, you have already helped me so much. I will never forget your great kindness in this lifetime!"

Then he consulted with Tai Geng Divine Venerable in detail about some questions regarding the transformation into a deity, as well as the difficulties encountered in cultivating those secret techniques.

Zhou Chun stayed in the cave of the Tai Geng Divine Lord for three days before finally returning to his family, satisfied. (End of Chapter)
