Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Venerable Yuanyang was clearly well-prepared, keeping his whereabouts a closely guarded secret, and didn't even leave anything for Zhou Chun to track down.

For example, as the patriarch of Yuanyang Temple, he should have had something like his natal soul tablet, but when True Person Xuanyan took Zhou Chun to check, they discovered that the tablet had actually been replaced.

Fortunately, some of his frequently used items remained in his cave, and some of his aura still lingered on them.

Using this as a medium, Zhou Chun used the "Great Evolution Heavenly Secret Technique" to deduce the truth, and finally vaguely obtained a clue indicating that the other party had gone to the southwest.

Southwest?

After a moment's thought, Zhou Chun realized that wasn't that the direction where Jingguo and Fengguo were located?

This can't be a coincidence!

His thoughts raced, and soon, with Xuan Yan Zhenren and the others treating him like a plague carrier, he was respectfully escorted away from Yuan Yang Temple.

Although he has left, what he did at Yuanyang Temple today will obviously not stop there.

Before long, all the major powers in the cultivation world will know that Venerable Yuanyang of Yuanyang Temple has really encountered a serious problem and can almost be declared dead.

At that time, not to mention other forces would rush to take a bite out of this once sacred and powerful sect, Yuanyang Temple would at least be unable to maintain its current transcendent status.

At least when some high-level cultivators come to ask the Yuan Yang Temple cultivators for help with alchemy, they will no longer be allowed to make exorbitant demands as easily as before.

In this respect, they will be far inferior to the Tianyi Sect, which is still respected by various forces in the human cultivation world.

After Zhou Chun left Yuanyang Temple with the Glazed Demon Saint, they soon arrived in Jing Kingdom.

He used the items left behind by Venerable Yuanyang that he had brought with him to perform the deduction again.

Perhaps because of the close proximity, the deduction results this time were much clearer, directly showing that the target was three thousand miles to the west.

"Isn't that near the entrance to the Flame Sun Sect?"

Zhou Chun's expression shifted, and he immediately recalled a past event.

As far as he knew, when the protective array of the Yan Yang Sect's mountain gate was detonated, it caused the area within a thousand miles of the mountain gate to be destroyed by poisonous fire and evil energy. In the end, it was Venerable Yuan Yang who stepped in to help dispel the poisonous fire and evil energy.

Could it be that when Venerable Yuanyang was dispelling the poisonous fire and evil energy, he discovered something underground?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun immediately took the Glazed Demon Saint to the Yan Yang Sect's mountain gate.

Speaking of which, the Yan Yang Sect is now experiencing a turn of good fortune.

The original Master Baiyang has long since passed away, but the Nascent Soul Pill given to them as a reward after the war successfully nurtured a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Decades ago, when the tide of spiritual energy descended, a disciple of the Yan Yang Sect with a top-grade fire-attribute spiritual root successfully formed his Nascent Soul without the aid of the Nascent Soul Pill. This resulted in the Yan Yang Sect now having two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, essentially restoring its former glory before being defeated by Zhou Chun.

The sudden arrival of Zhou Chun and Liuli Demon Saint at the Yan Yang Sect's mountain gate greatly surprised the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the sect.

Despite their surprise, they were not particularly alarmed, because the grudges between the two sides had already been resolved before Master Ziyang's death.

In the nearly one thousand years since then, the Zhou family has never done anything to the Yan Yang Sect again, which shows that the grudges have indeed been resolved.

After exchanging a few words in whispers, they came out together and respectfully bowed to Master Zhou Chun, saying, "Junior pays respects to Venerable Chun Jun and Venerable Liuli."

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities. I've come today not for your sake or your sect's, but rather..."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and immediately informed the two of the possibility that Venerable Yuanyang might be hiding in the Yanyang Sect.

Then, after a dramatic change in their expressions, the two quickly returned to the mountain gate.

A moment later, the disciples of the Yan Yang Sect quickly withdrew from the mountain gate.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the disciples inside the Yan Yang Sect's mountain gate had withdrawn.

Fortunately, the turbid evil energy was no longer present; otherwise, such an action alone would have been enough to cause heavy losses to their sect.

After all the disciples of the sect had been evacuated, the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Flame Sun Sect returned to Zhou Chun's servant and reported, "Seniors, all our disciples have been evacuated. Thank you for your leniency in allowing us the opportunity to leave!"

"Very well, then you two fellow Daoists should also evacuate now."

Zhou Chun waved his hand, dismissing the two men.

Then, the master and servants went straight ahead and arrived at the entrance of the Yan Yang Sect, where they began to search for the whereabouts of Venerable Yuan Yang.

It is extremely difficult for a Nascent Soul stage Venerable to completely conceal their existence from other powerful individuals of the same level.

Not to mention that among those searching for Venerable Yuanyang at this time is also the Glazed Demon Saint, who also possesses the power of the Great Dao of Fire.

After searching for a while deep into the underground fire veins beneath the Yan Yang Sect, the Glazed Demon Saint found the hiding place of the Yuan Yang Venerable.

Not long after, Zhou Chun and his servant appeared in the underground fire vein of the Yan Yang Sect.

Amidst the surging sea of ​​lava and fire, a giant egg burning with white flames drifted on the waves.

In Zhou Chun's perception, the giant egg burning with white flames had an aura that was six or seven parts similar to that of the Yuan Yang Venerable in the image.

"What's going on? How did Yuanyang turn into an egg like this?"

After Zhou Chun looked at the giant egg and confirmed that he had not chosen the wrong target, he was also extremely surprised by the situation.

The Glazed Demon Saint, standing to the side, slowly spoke up, saying, "His current state is somewhat unusual, resembling the Nirvana state of the Fire Phoenix clan. But he is a genuine human cultivator; how could he enter such a state?"

"Nirvana state?"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, seemingly having some vague guesses.

As far as he knew, some human cultivators in ancient times had considered changing the bloodline of demonic beasts when they were researching methods to prolong life.

Because powerful demonic beast bloodlines such as dragons and phoenixes do indeed have a longer lifespan than human bloodlines of the same level.

However, if the human bloodline is replaced with the bloodline of a demon beast, not to mention whether they can still be considered human, there are other very serious consequences to this.

For example, changing the bloodline of a demon beast, the entanglement and influence of bestiality and humanity, and the choice of subsequent cultivation path are all irreconcilable contradictions.

Therefore, very few human cultivators traveled this path afterward, and the related secret techniques were destroyed and sealed away.

However, Venerable Yuanyang is, after all, a Nascent Soul stage Venerable, so some so-called forbidden secret techniques may not be forbidden to him.

Thinking this, Zhou Chun asked, "Even if he is truly in a state of Nirvana, hundreds of years have passed since he disappeared. Now that the tide of spiritual energy has descended, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"I don't know. He might have encountered some problem. After all, he's a human cultivator, and the Nirvana Divine Power is a bloodline divine power, which is related not only to bloodline but also to the soul!"

The Glazed Demon Saint shook his head slightly and whispered his own opinion.

Although she said it casually, Zhou Chun felt that it made sense.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, whatever problems he's encountered. If he's truly no longer a decent human being, then there's absolutely no need to be polite to him!"

"Master is absolutely right. Let Feng'er see him off on his journey!"

The Glazed Demon Saint smiled and immediately manifested his enormous true phoenix form, his body engulfed in seven-colored glazed holy fire as he rushed towards the giant egg.

The white flames burning on the giant egg were of the sixth level. Ordinary fifth-level fire-attribute demon kings or Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not dare to approach it easily.

However, for the Glazed Demon Saint, this sixth-order holy fire, which was not deliberately activated by its master, posed no threat whatsoever.

She swooped forward, her beak piercing through the white flames and the giant egg inside like an arrow, striking the creature within the egg directly.

boom!

As if triggering some kind of self-protection mechanism, a powerful shockwave suddenly erupted from the giant egg.

Even though the Glazed Demon Saint was on guard, she was still swept away from the giant egg by the powerful shockwave.

But at that moment, Zhou Chun, realizing something was wrong, unhesitatingly activated the [Great Roc Soaring Sword] and slashed at the giant egg.

He held nothing back with this sword strike; the flying sword transformed into a golden star that pierced through the flames and precisely entered the gap pecked open by the Glazed Demon Saint.

In Zhou Chun's perception, the sword felt like it had pierced a ball of flame, and the scorching heat made him feel very uncomfortable.

But this sword strike must have severely injured the creature inside.

A burst of intense flames rose up, and then a phoenix with white feathers flew out from the flames.

"Yuanyang, do you still recognize Zhou?"

Zhou Chun looked at the white phoenix and suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing his words, the white phoenix's eyes showed confusion and bewilderment, and its movements slowed down.

At that moment, the Glazed Demon Saint activated the Heavenly Fire Divine Pearl, unleashing a crimson beam of light filled with destructive intent that struck the white phoenix.

Instantly, the white phoenix let out a mournful cry, and a huge wound was blasted into its body.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun once again activated the Great Roc Soaring Sword, striking the white phoenix's neck and severing its head on the spot!

However, for a being like the white phoenix, a severed head is clearly not a fatal wound.

Soon its severed head was reattached to its head.

But the Glazed Demon Saint pounced again, its claws piercing deep into its body, and engaged it in close combat.

This series of attacks stunned the white phoenix, leaving it utterly powerless to retaliate.

If it weren't for the fact that the True Blood Dao Body of a sixth-order demon saint was quite resilient, it would probably have been taken away by Zhou Chun's servant in one fell swoop!

Nevertheless, under the continuous attacks of Zhou Chun and his servants, it was quickly severely injured and fell into a critical condition.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, stop! I am Venerable Yuanyang!"

Seemingly under the pressure of the crisis, Zhou Chun finally regained consciousness, and a voice that sounded familiar to him suddenly rang out from the mouth of the white fire phoenix.

But upon hearing this voice, he not only showed no intention of stopping, but instead shouted angrily, "Shut up, you fiend! Not only did you devour my human race's Yuan Yang Venerable, but you also dared to impersonate him to deceive me, Zhou! Your crime deserves death!"

With a shout, the Great Roc Soaring Sword tore open another deep wound on the white fire phoenix.

"Damn bastard, I told you to stop!"

The white fire phoenix seemed to understand Zhou Chun's thoughts and immediately roared angrily.

With a shout, a fiery red gourd spewed out from the mouth of the white fire phoenix, releasing true fire of three colors—blue, purple, and gold—that burned toward the Glazed Demon Saint.

This fiery red gourd is none other than the Samadhi True Fire Gourd that Zhou Chun has longed for.

However, he possesses the Samadhi True Fire, and the Glazed Demon Saint also possesses the Samadhi Divine Fire.

Then, flames of gold, red, and purple rose from the body of the Glazed Demon Saint, quickly enveloping his entire body.

When the Samadhi True Fire met this [Samadhi Divine Fire], they were evenly matched, and for a time neither could defeat the other.

However, the Glazed Demon Saint spat out the Heavenly Fire Divine Pearl again, directly striking the white fire phoenix.

This close-range attack instantly shattered half of the white fire phoenix's body!

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun's [Great Roc Soaring Sword] slashed into the white fire phoenix's body, unleashing the [God-Splitting] sword technique within it.

In an instant, Venerable Yuanyang's primordial spirit suffered great damage under the attack of this sword technique.

Before he could recover from the trauma to his primordial spirit, the Glazed Demon Saint pounced on him forcefully, piercing through his body and striking the nascent soul inside.

Yes, Nascent Soul!

It's a very strange situation. Venerable Yuanyang not only possesses a sixth-order demon saint true blood body, but also a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Divine Transformation stage!

If Zhou Chun hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that these two achievements, representing different paths of cultivation, could coexist in one person.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun doesn't have the time or inclination to investigate how this was done.

Given the unpredictable abilities of Nascent Soul cultivators, after pecking at Yuan Yang Venerable's nascent soul, the Glazed Demon Saint swallowed it whole without hesitation, intending to refine it first!

Even after Yuan Yang Venerable's nascent soul was devoured by her, the true blood Dao body of the white fire phoenix was still slowly absorbing fire elemental spiritual power to recover, and did not lose its vitality.

This bizarre scene greatly surprised both Zhou Chun and the Glazed Demon Saint.

"To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Feng'er, you should swallow it as well!"

Zhou Chun frowned, feeling that it was best not to let this strange thing develop on its own, and immediately made a decision.

Naturally, the Glazed Demon Saint would not refuse such an offer.

Being able to consume a sixth-order True Blood Dao Body would be extremely beneficial for her.

It quickly devoured the shattered white fire phoenix body alive!

Zhou Chun then took action to suppress the [Samadhi True Fire Gourd], a powerful spiritual treasure.

If we want to understand why Venerable Yuanyang became like this, the spirit of this treasure is a good starting point.

After all, this treasure had always been with Venerable Yuanyang, and must have witnessed all of Venerable Yuanyang's changes firsthand! (End of Chapter)
