Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 825 Revisiting Yuanyang Temple

Xuelongling Cave.

After bringing the white beast into the cave, the Ice Nether Immortal, whose consciousness was possessed by Zhou Chun, immediately inquired about its origins.

The original [Six-Winged Ice Silkworm] was already a rare and wondrous insect in the cultivation world, and very few cultivators recognized it.

This strange beast, mutated from the [Six-Winged Ice Silkworm], is naturally even rarer to recognize; at least Zhou Chun truly didn't know it.

However, the white beast itself must know its origins.

After all, such a powerful beast must have an extraordinary origin and could not have appeared out of thin air.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Chun's question, the white beast quickly self-destructed its base.

Its bloodline comes from a mythical beast that was almost extinct in ancient times, the Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast, a beast that could wield the power of the Great Dao of Ice.

This strange beast was extremely rare in ancient times, and it had long been hunted down and killed by powerful beings of that era.

The Six-Winged Ice Silkworm is a variant formed when this strange beast mates with a certain type of ice silkworm in its youth. Because its bloodline is not pure, it is difficult for it to transform into a true Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast.

The white beast we see today can only be said to have made the bloodline of the [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast] more visible than hidden; it cannot be considered a true [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast].

However, in an era before the true [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast] existed, calling it the [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast] wouldn't have been a problem.

As an ancient and exotic bloodline, the Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast possesses incredibly powerful supernatural abilities.

The original supernatural powers of the [Six-Winged Ice Silkworm] were not only perfectly inherited, but also greatly enhanced, and a powerful bloodline talent supernatural power was awakened.

One of the supernatural abilities that surprised Zhou Chun the most was called [Aurora Freeze].

This [Aurora Freeze] divine power can not only freeze and encase all tangible and intangible things, but also, under the blessing of the Great Dao of Ice, even time and space can be frozen!

This is far more powerful than ice-attribute divine abilities like the [Taiyin Extinction Divine Light]!

It was precisely because of the existence of the [Aurora Freeze] divine power that Zhou Chun believed that the ancient beast [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast] could master the laws of ice.

Naturally, this [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast] has now successfully caught his eye and become his sixth demon king spirit pet!

Compared to the previous five demon king spirit pets, this [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast] has another special feature: it cannot transform into human form.

This seems to indirectly prove the extraordinary bloodline of the [Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast].

However, for Zhou Chun, the Aurora Ice Butterfly Beast was only a promising prospect for the future, and it was of little use to him at present, so he let it stay in the Ice Kingdom with Ice Nether True Man.

Time flies, and another twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after decades of painstaking research, Zhou Chun finally created his own unique Nascent Soul cultivation technique.

Given that this Nascent Soul cultivation technique was modified from the Golden Cauldron Profound Technique, he named it the Golden Cauldron Divine Technique.

With the completion of the "Golden Cauldron Divine Skill," Zhou Chun was able to firmly establish himself in the Nascent Soul stage.

In the process of revising and creating the "Golden Cauldron Divine Skill", Zhou Chun also sorted out the supernatural powers and secret techniques he had learned in the past. Starting from his own Great Dao, he carried out in-depth expansion of some supernatural powers and secret techniques, and gained a lot.

Meanwhile, after decades of nurturing, the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] has recovered its vitality, and the [Heaven and Earth Suppressing Spirit Pagoda] has also greatly improved.

At this time, Zhou Chun, who felt that he had gained a firm foothold, finally stepped out of the Kunwu Mountains and went to visit the cave of the Tai Geng God.

"Not bad, Fellow Daoist Zhou. Your grasp of the Great Dao Laws is even more outstanding than I expected. I was actually inferior to you back then!"

Inside the cave of the Tai Geng Divine Lord, after a brief exchange with Zhou Chun, who had come to visit, the Tai Geng Divine Lord praised him with an expression of admiration.

This sparring session was Zhou Chunhua's first exchange with other Nascent Soul stage cultivators after successfully transforming into a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although neither side used any Heavenly Treasures and the exchange was merely a clash of the Great Dao Laws, he still gained a great deal from it.

Upon hearing Tai Geng's words, he, still pondering the events of their recent exchange, quickly replied, "Senior Tai Geng, you flatter me. It is your mastery and application of the Great Dao's laws that truly earns my respect and admiration!"

But then Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, waved his hand lightly and said, "You don't need to be modest. At our level, even though our abilities vary, under normal circumstances, we can only distinguish between high and low; it's not easy to determine a winner!"

"Even if you are a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, as long as you have a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure in hand and are willing to risk your life, those veteran sixth-tier cultivators will still have to be wary of you. This is because the closer one is to the Great Dao, the easier it is for them to be assimilated by the Great Dao! They will not be willing to risk their lives and their own cultivation paths to fight you!"

At this point, Tai Geng Divine Venerable sighed with emotion, "If it weren't for that, with Senior Changchun's peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, how dare those sixth-level alien beings act so arrogantly in front of our human race!"

Since he brought up this matter, Zhou Chun took the opportunity to raise his own questions.

He immediately looked at him and said, "Senior Taigeng, I have a question. Since Senior Changchun was able to slay the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, why didn't you join forces with me to launch a surprise attack on Dragon Abyss or the Dolan Grassland, and then slay the Golden Horned Dragon Saint or that sixth-level Multi-Winged Clan member?"

"Things aren't as simple as you think!"

Tai Geng Divine Venerable shook his head repeatedly, looking at Zhou Chun with a serious expression as he explained, "The alien races that are still alive all possess extraordinary resources. The sixth-tier beings among them each have their own trump cards, making them difficult to kill easily!"

"Senior Changchun was able to slay the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint by taking advantage of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint's solo incursion into our human territory and utilizing the unknown trump card, the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword."

"If we were to penetrate deep into the territory of other races to carry out a decapitation strike, they would have a significant advantage on their home turf. Our whereabouts might be known before we even make a move. Furthermore, now that the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword] has been exposed, the sixth-tier beings of each race will certainly be on guard and will not be as easily caught as the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint!"

"If the decapitation attempt fails, those sixth-tier alien beings will join forces and play a game of bargaining with us, putting our human race in a very passive position!"

Zhou Chun roughly understood this principle, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Now that I've heard him say that, I've finally given up on that unrealistic idea.

He then looked at him and asked, "Now there are only two hundred years left before the turbid evil energy completely dissipates. If the alien races fight to the death, how should our human race respond?"

Upon hearing his question, the Divine Lord Tai Geng simply replied, "This is something that cannot be avoided. The general trend is such that it cannot be changed by the will of any one person. But no matter what, victory will ultimately belong to our human race!"

"Understood. I will fight with all my might for the human race!"

Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully, firmly expressing her stance.

"Excellent! With Fellow Daoist Zhou's words, Senior Changchun and I are completely relieved!"

A smile flashed across Tai Geng's face; he was very satisfied with Zhou Chun's statement.

At this moment, Zhou Chun suddenly changed the subject and said, "There is something I would like to tell Senior Tai Geng. After I leave here, I plan to visit my fellow Nascent Soul cultivators of the human race."

Upon hearing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable's gaze sharpened, as if he had realized something.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun and ask, "Does Fellow Daoist Zhou include Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang in the list of fellow Nascent Soul stage cultivators?"

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Yuanyang and I are old acquaintances. Now that I have successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator, it wouldn't be right not to pay him a visit!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, his tone very firm.

Upon seeing this, the Divine Lord Tai Geng fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally let out a soft breath and said, "Very well, since Fellow Daoist Zhou is so kind, then go and see for us what Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang is up to!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun smiled and nodded, saying, "I will find out. I will definitely find out!"

Then, as if nothing had happened, he sat down and discussed the Dao with Tai Geng Divine Venerable for a full six months before finally leaving satisfied.

After leaving the cave of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable, Zhou Chun headed south to the Yuan Yang Temple, which he had visited twice before.

Zhou Chun didn't bring any of his demon king spirit pets with him on this trip, so when he arrived outside Yuanyang Temple, he found that it was inconvenient for him to even ask someone to inform him.

After lingering outside Yuanyang Temple for a while, he suddenly shook his head and smiled, saying, "Never mind, I'm not here as a guest anyway, so what difference does it make whether I announce my arrival or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he called out loudly, "Where is Fellow Daoist Yuanyang? I, Zhou, have recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and have long admired your great name. I have come today to pay my respects!"

These words, even through the layers of protective mountain formations, still reached the entrance of Yuanyang Temple, allowing all cultivators inside and outside the temple to hear them.

Instantly, all the cultivators who heard these words were in an uproar.

"Good heavens, what's going on? Shouldn't a meeting between two Nascent Soul stage cultivators be conducted in secret? Why is it so public knowledge?"

"Isn't that right? And didn't you all hear it? It seems like Venerable Chun Jun's words implied that there was no prior communication. Otherwise, even if Venerable Yuan Yang went out to greet him uninvited, shouldn't the Grand Elder of Yuan Yang Temple have personally come out to wait for him?"

"Something's not right, something's not right. This is too illogical. I think there's something fishy going on. Let's avoid this for now!"

The Yuanyang Temple is not only home to its own cultivators; there are also many cultivators who come and go seeking to purchase elixirs, and these people are often quite powerful.

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, these people, relying on their years of experience in the cultivation world, immediately sensed that something was amiss, and many of them immediately wanted to stay away from this place of trouble.

The disciples of Yuanyang Temple, especially the higher-ups, were all panicked and at a loss.

The higher-ups of Yuanyang Temple all knew, to some extent, that their ancestor and Zhou Chun, the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, had not gotten along in the past.

After all, after the Zhou family moved from Jingguo to Yuguo, Jingguo was once again under the control of the Moon Wheel Sect. Subsequently, the Moon Wheel Sect became a branch of the Yuanyang Temple, and the disciples of the two sects even addressed each other as fellow disciples in public!

No one would believe that Venerable Yuanyang wasn't involved in this.

However, before today, many of the higher-ups at Yuanyang Temple would not have imagined that Zhou Chunhua would come to them so directly after his successful ascension to immortality, and that he would come uninvited!

"What should we do? What should we do now? Senior Brother Lingqing, you once entertained Senior Chun Jun, why don't you go and greet him first?"

"Junior Brother Lingxian, what are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I'm not qualified to deal with Senior Chun Jun. Aren't you just asking me to slap Senior Chun Jun in the face?"

"Senior Brother Lingqing, you're exaggerating. It was just a matter of going out to greet them. Senior Chun Jun wouldn't hold it against us juniors!"

"Heh, why aren't you going, Junior Brother Lingxian? I think it would be quite good for you to go!"

Deep within the gates of Yuanyang Temple, several Nascent Soul stage cultivators from Yuanyang Temple gathered together immediately, discussing countermeasures as hastily as ants on a hot pan, and even arguing over who should go to greet them.

These people all knew perfectly well that Venerable Chun Jun's arrival today was definitely not a friendly visit, and no one dared to go out and risk offending him!

However, they all knew that if a Nascent Soul cultivator were made to wait outside for an extended period of time, the consequences would be just as severe!

So, just as everyone was arguing, a deep voice suddenly interrupted, saying, "Alright, fellow disciples, stop arguing. What's done is done. Since things have come to this point, let's all go out and greet Senior Chun Jun!"

Upon hearing this voice, the arguing group immediately fell silent and turned to look at the person who had spoken.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a purple robe. He was none other than the current Grand Elder of Yuanyang Temple, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator named Xuan Yan Zhenren.

"Alright, let's do as Senior Brother Xuan Yan says and go together to welcome Senior Chun Jun!"

Master Lingqing gritted his teeth and immediately voiced his support.

Seeing this, the others, regardless of their own thoughts, could only echo their agreement.

A moment later, the five Nascent Soul stage cultivators from Yuan Yang Temple arrived at the mountain gate together. They bowed in the direction of Zhou Chun and said, "Junior Xuan Yan (Ling Qing, Ling Xian) pays respects to Venerable Chun Jun. It is an honor for our sect that you have graced us with your presence!"

"Why are you all coming out to greet me? Where is Fellow Daoist Yuanyang? Am I not qualified enough to warrant his presence?"

Zhou Chun swept his gaze over the five Yuan Yang Temple masters and questioned them in a very impolite tone.

Faced with the questioning of a Nascent Soul stage Venerable, the five Yuan Yang Guan True Persons all changed their expressions drastically, not knowing how to answer.

In the end, the gazes of Lingqing Zhenren and the other three all turned to Xuanyan Zhenren.

Because they all knew that if anyone truly knew where Venerable Yuanyang was, it would only be this sect's Grand Elder!

Facing the gazes of Zhou Chun and his fellow disciples, True Person Xuan Yan took a deep breath before replying in a low voice, "Senior Chun Jun, you are wise. Our Ancestor is currently in seclusion and has instructed that he should not be disturbed unless the fate of humanity is at stake!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun gave him a deep look and said, "Is that so? Then may I go outside his secluded cultivation place and take a look? I need to confirm whether what you're saying is true or false!"

"this……"

Master Xuan Yan's expression changed slightly, revealing a troubled look.

Before he could come up with an excuse to refuse, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "It's settled then. Lead the way!"

But he wasn't given a chance to refuse at all!

Seeing this, True Person Xuan Yan could only helplessly reply respectfully, "Yes, junior obeys!"

After saying that, he welcomed Zhou Chun into the mountain gate.

My weakened immune system caused sores to appear on my back, it's unbearable!!
