Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Longyuanze.

When the mysterious "Spirit Lord" emerged from the water, Zhou Chun and the other five Nascent Soul stage human cultivators all changed their expressions drastically, shocked by the enormous creature on the water.

It was thousands of feet long, and its body sometimes turned blue, sometimes black, and sometimes white, constantly changing between the three colors.

Judging from its appearance, it somewhat resembles a creature called "whale" from Zhou Chun's memory.

In the perception of the five human Nascent Soul stage cultivators, this colossal creature contained an incomparably rich power of the Water Element Great Dao Law.

Compared to it, the Golden Horned Dragon Saint, who was activating the Dragon God Pearl, seemed so insignificant and unremarkable.

"What kind of monster is this? How could there possibly be such a gigantic monster in the world?!"

Ye Qingxuan opened his mouth and let out a gasp filled with shock.

This was a question that not only he wanted to know, but also that Venerable Changchun wanted to know.

Even someone as learned as Venerable Changchun found himself unable to discern the origins of this colossal creature.

However, he could sense the opponent's powerful cultivation level!

To be honest, in his perception, he shouldn't be a match for the other party, as there was a certain gap between them in terms of mastery of the power of the Great Dao Laws.

The gap that can be detected even in perception will only be greater in actual combat.

Therefore, he immediately had the idea of ​​retreating.

To save face, he calmly looked at the colossal creature and asked, "May I ask how this Demon Saint is addressed? And what is your relationship with the Flood Dragon Clan?"

Faced with his question, the mysterious "Spirit Lord" simply replied in a deep voice: "The Flood Dragon Clan is under my protection. If you human cultivators do not wish to perish here, retreat at once!"

Upon hearing this reply, Venerable Guanghan couldn't help but say, "You won't even reveal your name, yet you think you can dismiss us with a single word? Isn't that a gross underestimation of our importance?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Changchun knew he was about to suffer.

As expected, the enormous creature in the water immediately stopped responding and launched an attack.

But as soon as it opened its mouth, a wave of blue, white and black water surged forth from its enormous maw, which was large enough to swallow a hundred giant elephants.

As soon as the three-colored water wave appeared in the air, it suddenly split into five three-colored water dragons, which attacked the five human Nascent Soul stage cultivators respectively.

At the same time, blue water light burst forth from its body, turning the surrounding waters for thousands of miles blue. One after another, blue water dragons rose from the water and rushed towards the five human gods in the air.

Faced with its fierce attack, the human Nascent Soul cultivators naturally dared not underestimate it and all went all out to deal with it.

As Zhou Chun activated his sword technique, the [Great Roc Soaring Sword] emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, suddenly transforming into a golden star that shot towards the three-colored water dragon.

This sword strike not only unleashed the deadly sword technique he had finally mastered, but also superimposed the sword technique [Spell Breaking] inherent in the flying sword itself, making it undoubtedly his most lethal strike!

However, this sword strike, which contained all his strength, was immediately shattered upon colliding with the three-colored water dragon, and even the flying sword itself was sent flying away.

In contrast, the three-colored water dragon only shrank slightly in size and continued to pounce on him.

This situation wasn't unique to Zhou Chun. Besides Tai Geng God Venerable and Chang Chun Venerable who activated the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword], the attacks from Guang Han Venerable and Ye Qingxuan also had little effect.

"Retreat! We'll retreat first!"

After Venerable Changchun forcefully defeated the three-colored water dragon with his cyan bamboo spear, he immediately issued a retreat order.

While shouting for a retreat, he also stepped in to help his weaker companions, Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan, intercept the two three-colored water dragons.

As for the other blue water dragons composed purely of the laws of water and spiritual power, they are merely the attack methods of ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, which Zhou Chun and the others can easily handle.

After a flurry of activity, the five human Nascent Soul cultivators finally managed to withdraw from the attack range of the colossal creature.

The other party seemed to only want to drive them away and did not pursue them.

Furthermore, after witnessing the entire process, Golden Horned Dragon Saint was also greatly shocked by the "Spirit Lord's" powerful strength, and at the same time, he felt somewhat regretful that he had not been able to save the lives of several human god-level beings.

But he dared not reveal these things, and instead flattered the "Spirit Lord" with utmost respect, saying, "Senior Spirit Lord is indeed powerful. After witnessing your divine might, that old ghost Changchun will surely not dare to act presumptuously here again!"

"I hope so. If he dares to come again next time, just call upon me."

The mysterious "Spirit Lord" did not intend to exchange any more words with the Golden Horned Dragon Saint. After leaving behind these words, he moved and quickly sank to the bottom of the water, disappearing without a trace.

This left Golden Horned Dragon Saint quite helpless, and he sighed inwardly.

On the other side, the five human Nascent Soul stage cultivators only stopped after retreating back to the land.

After stopping on a mountain peak on land, Tai Geng Divine Venerable immediately looked at Chang Chun Venerable and asked, "Senior Chang Chun, don't you know the origin of that giant beast? This demon is so powerful, it must have been enlightened for quite some time. Doesn't our human race have any records of it?"

"That's exactly the problem!"

Venerable Changchun sighed softly and shook his head, saying, "Ever since I saw that giant beast, I have recalled all the known information about powerful demons from ancient times, but I have found no record of this beast!"

"Therefore, it can be basically determined that it is a demon race that attained enlightenment after the ancient times!"

At this point, Venerable Changchun also glanced deeply into the depths of Dragon Abyss and sighed softly, "But judging from its condition, it clearly doesn't resemble someone who has just entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This is truly astonishing!"

In fact, what shocked him even more was why the giant beast could so freely unleash such immense power.

At this moment, he had many questions that needed to be answered.

However, he also knew in his heart that none of these younger generations of humans could answer his questions.

To understand everything, we must go and see the mysterious "Yuan Zun" again.

After hearing his words, everyone fell silent, carefully digesting them.

After a long while, Zhou Chun finally spoke first, asking, "So what should we do next?"

"Let's leave Longyuanze for now. With that giant beast around, it's almost impossible for us to conquer this place. You should all return to your respective caves to cultivate and wait for my next message."

Venerable Changchun shook his head slightly and answered in a low voice.

No one objected to this, after all, they had all witnessed the power of that giant beast and knew that it was impossible to defeat it at present.

So the crowd quickly dispersed.

After parting ways with the others, Venerable Changchun quickly headed back to the Netherworld Valley.

When he arrived at the cave at the bottom of the deep ravine, before he could say anything, the voice of the "Yuan Zun" rang out first.

"Why did you come empty-handed this time? Did something happen again?"

Upon hearing this question, Venerable Changchun gave a wry smile and replied in a low voice, "Just as Senior Yuanzun said, the dragon clan that is currently attacking Longyuan Marsh has indeed encountered great trouble!"

He then recounted the situation of the mysterious behemoth, even using the Water Mirror Technique to reveal its appearance.

After seeing the colossal beast manifested by Venerable Changchun, the "Yuanzun" exclaimed in surprise, "This is the renowned aquatic divine beast of the Upper Realm, the [Beiming Xuankun]. I never imagined such a divine beast would be left behind in this Lower Realm. It seems it was a contingency plan left behind by those ancient demon saints of this realm!"

"The aquatic divine beast, the [Northern Darkness Black Kun]? Senior Yuanzun, could you please describe this beast in detail?"

Venerable Changchun's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to humbly seek instruction.

Perhaps feeling that this wasn't a secret, the "Yuan Zun" didn't refuse and quickly began to talk about the situation of the aquatic divine beast, the [Bei Ming Xuan Kun].

"As you know, the laws of the Great Dao in the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm are vastly different. The so-called top-tier demonic beasts in the Lower Realm are nothing in the Upper Realm."

"In the Upper Realm, the truly powerful demon race members all come from various divine beast races!"

"And every pure-blooded descendant of a divine beast race is born with fifth-tier strength, and as long as they don't die during their growth, they will definitely become a sixth-tier demon saint!"

"【Beiming Xuankun】is one of the seven great water-based divine beast races recorded in the Upper Realm. It is naturally compatible with the laws of water, and after reaching adulthood, its strength is generally a notch above that of human cultivators of the same level."

"Moreover, this [Northern Darkness Mystic Kun] is known for its long lifespan. It takes ten thousand years from birth to adulthood, and once it reaches adulthood, its lifespan can reach tens of thousands of years!"

At this point, the "Yuan Zun" seemed to have realized something, and suddenly continued, "That's it! I understand why this [Bei Ming Xuan Kun] hasn't shown itself yet. It must have been hiding in the Gui Xu Land at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss since ancient times. That place is where the water-based laws of this world are most active, and it is also a dangerous place that only sixth-order beings can venture into!"

"So what should we do now? In my humble opinion, that [Northern Darkness Mystic Kun] has probably already reached the sixth level of perfection in its cultivation and can ascend at any time!"

After satisfying his curiosity, Venerable Changchun then posed the question to the "Yuan Zun".

Upon hearing his question, the "Yuan Zun" immediately replied, "There's no need to confront that [Bei Ming Xuan Kun] head-on now. Since you can't do anything to him, just change your target. Didn't you say there are two Nascent Soul cultivators in this world's demonic lineage? And isn't the Giant God Clan also at the sixth rank? Let's start by taking them out!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Changchun immediately showed a troubled expression and said, "Those two Demonic Nascent Soul cultivators are not easy to deal with. Demonic cultivators are naturally skilled in various life-saving and escape techniques. If we cannot eliminate them in one go, the consequences will be endless!"

"They are just two early-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivators. If you go all out and have other human Nascent Soul cultivators assisting you, it won't be difficult to take them down. Just make sure you plan ahead."

"Yuan Zun" continued, with a pointed remark, "You must understand that the sooner I recover my strength, the sooner I can take you to ascend to the Upper Realm. Otherwise, even if you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and extend your lifespan by many years, and successfully ascend to the Upper Realm later, you won't have much time to attempt the Void Refinement stage again!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Changchun's expression changed. After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice, "This junior understands. Please allow me to prepare a little more!"

They then left the place.

Upon returning to his Changchun Valley, Venerable Changchun recalled the information he knew about "Yuan Zun" and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"While it's true that a Void Refinement stage expert can fuse all power for their own use, he is no longer a true Void Refinement stage expert. Can he really still fuse the power of various alien races and even demonic cultivators for his own use?"

"Furthermore, once the tide of spiritual energy descends, let alone someone like him, even I could successfully reshape my Dao body in a few hundred years. Is it really necessary for him to collect so many sixth-tier corpses to speed up the process? Is a Dao body shaped in this way truly better than one that is reshaped bit by bit by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Muttering to himself, Venerable Changchun also began to doubt the purpose of that "Yuan Zun" in collecting the corpses of sixth-order alien beings.

He has cultivated to this level and survived until now; how could he be a naive and innocent girl?

They wouldn't be so naive as to believe that "Yuan Zun," this ancient human elder who survived, would really be so helpful as to easily take him, a human junior with whom they had no relation, to ascend together.

He had only followed the instructions given by "Yuan Zun" as a form of advance payment.

But that doesn't mean he'll actually act like a grandson and obediently follow the other party's instructions in everything.

After all, with his current cultivation at the late Nascent Soul stage, even without the "Yuan Zun" to carry him, he still has a certain chance of ascending to the Upper Realm.

"We can't place all our hopes on this Senior Yuanzun; I need to make other plans as well!"

His eyes gleamed, and he quickly made a plan.

On the other hand, after returning to his cave, Zhou Chun resumed his normal life and cultivation.

Although the outcome of the trip to Longyuanze was not satisfactory, the demon race basically had no chance to return to shore.

He really doesn't have much to worry about anymore.

Therefore, he is now in a very relaxed state of mind. After returning, he will either practice the dual cultivation with his confidante or comprehend the Dao, practice the techniques, and cultivate the art of weapon crafting, thus managing to balance life and cultivation.

During this period, Zhou Chun's second nascent soul incarnation, the Ice Nether True Man, also began to comprehend the jade book given to him by the Venerable Guanghan.

The jade book contains the Guanghan Venerable's detailed insights into ice-attribute techniques and the laws of ice cultivation, equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator imparting knowledge and giving a lecture.

Any cultivator who practices ice-attribute techniques would treasure this item.

However, it's not so easy for the second nascent soul avatar to advance to the sixth rank.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, even a second Nascent Soul cultivator would have to go through the Three Tribulations of Asking the Dao to advance to the sixth rank!

However, because the main nascent soul has survived the three tribulations of the Dao Inquiry, the second nascent soul will have many advantages when it faces this tribulation again.

However, this advantage is more evident in the "inner demon tribulation". Whether it is the "vital energy tribulation" or the four-nine tribulation, the advantage is not very obvious.

After all, Zhou Chun couldn't give the [Great Roc Soaring Sword] to his second Nascent Soul incarnation to undergo tribulation, nor could he help him bear the "Tribulation of Primordial Qi".

Therefore, for the time being, he has not considered the advancement of the second nascent soul avatar to the sixth level. He simply lets it cultivate first, and waits until the Guanghan Venerable passes away and can keep the Tongtian spiritual treasure [Northern Ice Heart Lock], then he will see if he can use this treasure to comprehend the laws of ice movement and increase the success rate of passing the "Primordial Qi Tribulation".

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

In these five years, the human cultivation world has been in turmoil, with a large number of human cultivators responding to the call of Nascent Soul stage cultivators to explore various alien territories such as the Dolan Grassland, the Wilderness of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the Wilderness Land.

Although many cultivators died during the pioneering process, even more cultivators reaped huge benefits from it.

Even many of the cultivators from the Zhou family who participated in the pioneering work found a lot of useful items in the alien territory, reaping great rewards.

Tianman Plain was also one of the places for this pioneering. After the fall of the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, the Earth Barbarians took the initiative to follow the Heavenly Soul Clan and the Five Elements Spirit Clan and migrated to the Eternal Night Wilderness.

Nowadays, apart from a small number of alien races who are unwilling to leave and still cultivate in some secluded places, the entire Tianman Plain has basically become the backyard of human cultivators.

Some within the Zhou family even proposed expanding the territory of the Yu Kingdom to the entire Tianman Plain, turning the original Tianman Plain into a single country.

If that were done, the Yu Kingdom would undoubtedly become the second largest country in the human cultivation world!

The reason it is called the second largest country is because the Great Zhou Kingdom is still temporarily governing the territory on the Dolan Grassland!

Zhou Chun was actually somewhat hesitant about whether to do this.

From the Zhou family's perspective, this is definitely something that greatly benefits the family.

However, the tradition of dividing the human cultivation world into various countries has a long history and was established by those powerful human beings in ancient times.

Whether creating superpowers now would be good or bad for the human cultivation world is anyone's guess.

Therefore, without having made a decision, Zhou Chun temporarily shelved the family's internal plans.

In any case, as long as he doesn't give the word, no one else can extend their reach into Tianman Plain and establish a country in the alien territory outside of Yu Kingdom.

On this day, Zhou Zhiying, who was stationed on Xuanfeng Island, brought Zhou Chun some good news.

Hundreds of years after advancing to the fifth-tier mid-grade demon king, the Silver Dragon King finally advanced to the fifth-tier high-grade demon king.

In fact, Silver Dragon Lord's successful advancement was largely thanks to this pioneering war.

Together with Zhou Zhiying, he participated in the pioneering operation targeting the Wilderness of Ten Thousand Beasts. With the help of Feng Yuanjun, they successfully killed a mid-grade fifth-rank lightning-attribute demon king. Ultimately, they advanced to the upper grade of the fifth rank with the help of this mid-grade fifth-rank demon core.

In addition to this fifth-grade mid-level lightning-attribute demon core, they also obtained a fifth-grade low-level earth-attribute demon core and a fifth-grade low-level metal-attribute demon core, all of which they gave to Lord Fushan.

The demon kings and their spirit pets knew how to help each other, which made their master, Zhou Chun, very gratified.

Now he is just waiting for Feng Yuanjun to break through to the sixth-tier demon saint realm.

If Feng Yuanjun succeeds, then among the human Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Venerable Changchun will be number one, and he will be number two!

Meanwhile, Venerable Changchun appeared in the cave of Venerable Xuanwu in the cultivation world of the far west.

He came to fulfill a previous promise.

After examining Venerable Xuanwu, he spoke frankly in a low voice, "Xuanwu, I have found a way to remove the shackles binding you, but if they are truly removed, your Great Dao will be flawed, and you may not have much chance to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Xuanwu immediately shook his head and said, "The mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm is incredibly difficult. Even Venerable Guanghan, with his exceptional talent, failed. Even if I cannot break through, I have nothing to regret!"

"It is this constraint that limits me, confining me to this small corner of the world for thousands of years, that is truly unbearable!"

Having said that, he looked resolutely at Venerable Changchun and said, "As long as you don't threaten my life or cause me to fall from my cultivation level, Fellow Daoist Changchun, please feel free to do as you please!"

"Very well, since Fellow Daoist Xuanwu is so determined, then I will grant your wish!"

Venerable Changchun gazed at him intently for a moment, then nodded and revealed the relevant teachings.

Next, with the active cooperation of Venerable Xuanwu, Venerable Changchun used wood to overcome earth, forcibly severing the bond between him and the earth veins beneath him.

This thunderous attack caused considerable damage to Venerable Xuanwu, even shaking his foundation of cultivation.

But he was finally free!

Freed from the constraints of the earth's veins, he was no longer confined to a small place and could now roam freely throughout the world.

For him, who had been trapped in this place for thousands of years, this was more important than anything else!

After personally verifying it, he returned to Venerable Changchun's side, unable to contain his excitement, and bowed deeply, saying, "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Changchun. I will repay your kindness in the future!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, on regaining your freedom. I will not disturb you any longer while you recuperate."

Venerable Changchun knew what Venerable Xuanwu wanted to do, so he didn't linger there any longer. After congratulating the other party, he took his leave.

Just one day later, he appeared on Kunwu Peak in the Yu Kingdom.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, when will your spirit pet be able to break through to the Demon Saint realm? I plan to take action against the Yuanmo Realm next. If she can successfully advance to Demon Saint and join the battle, she should be of great help!"

On Kunwu Peak, after exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Chun, Venerable Changchun directly stated his purpose.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun looked troubled and said, "Senior Changchun, you are wise. My spirit pet is still comprehending the power of the Great Dao Laws. It's really hard to say when it will be able to break through to the Demon Saint realm!"

Fortunately, Venerable Changchun didn't press him too much. He simply nodded and said, "Then I'll wait another ten years. After ten years, I'll have to take action against the Yuanmo Realm no matter what. My remaining lifespan isn't much, and I can't waste any more time in this realm!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun meaningfully and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't forget the promise you made earlier!"

"Of course, I will never forget it."

Zhou Chun's heart skipped a beat, but she still responded immediately without hesitation.

The two did not speak for long afterward, and Venerable Changchun took the initiative to leave. (End of this chapter)
