After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 971 Hunting Ferocious Beasts, Ninth-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique?

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

The beast's words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Chen Yang paused for a moment, wanting to ask why.

“I can’t leave Bei’e Mountain right now unless you can bring him here, or I can leave Bei’e Mountain during the clearing period after the secret realm closes. If he’s still in the secret realm then, I’ll go find him without you having to tell me.”

"However, I know this man's strength. I can seriously injure him, but if he's determined to escape, I can't stop him..."

The beast's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "If he hides like before, it will probably be difficult to find him then..."

……

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang remained silent for a long while.

According to Xuan Tong, several ferocious beasts at the Dao True Realm are stationed in this secret realm, and they will be responsible for clearing the area after the secret realm closes.

This ferocious beast in front of us is probably one of them, isn't it?

The secret realm was not closed, but the ferocious beasts were restricted by the laws and could not leave.

However, getting Chen Yang to lure Danyangzi here will likely be quite difficult.

Danyangzi knew perfectly well that the person who stole the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi was in the North Emei Mountain, yet he didn't come himself, but instead sent that water monkey. This was probably because he was afraid of this ferocious beast.

But the ferocious beast also said that even if Chen Yang lured people here, it was not confident that it could kill Dan Yangzi. At most, it could seriously injure him. If he wanted to escape, it would be impossible to stop him.

This is a bit uncomfortable.

If I can't defeat Danyangzi, my path ahead will likely be difficult.

This secret realm is neither small nor large, and it's quite infuriating that it's constantly on the minds of such a being.

Unless he is hiding in the mountains, Danyangzi, out of caution, might not dare to take the risk.

Chen Yang had only been in prison for two days, and he was already forced to stay here. He was unwilling to accept this.

He hasn't done the things Xuan Tong asked him to do yet.

"This matter doesn't count. Tell me something else."

The beast said something indifferently, easily letting the matter drop.

Whether Chen Yang brings it up or not, once the secret realm closes and the clearing time is over, as long as Danyangzi is still in the secret realm, it will definitely go looking for trouble with Danyangzi.

Chen Yang touched his forehead.

How can this be done?

He couldn't think of anything else besides this.

Suddenly, Chen Yang had an idea and said to the ferocious beast in front of him, "Senior, is anything alright?"

"As long as it doesn't violate my principles and is within my capabilities, anything is permissible," the ferocious beast said.

Feel free to make any requests; the interpretation of these requests rests with me.

"I do have something to ask of you, senior. It's a small favor, but please don't be offended if I say it." Chen Yang gave it a heads-up first.

The ferocious beast looked at Chen Yang strangely, "Speak, don't be angry."

Chen Yang quickly took out the red rope used to bind the mountain demon from the Azure Profound Pearl. "This red rope was left by Lord Tan Jue. It's very useful for binding people and beasts, but I've never known its limits..."

"What do you mean?" The beast's expression toward Chen Yang became even stranger.

Chen Yang said, "I want to ask the senior to help me test the limits of this rope."

"what?"

The beast was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Chen Yang meant.

In its view, Chen Yang could simply ask for whatever he wanted—magical treasures, divine weapons, spiritual medicines, or cultivation points—and it would give him a little something in return to fulfill its obligation to repay the debt of gratitude.

To his utter surprise, Chen Yang made two requests. One was something he couldn't do right now, and the second was that he asked Chen Yang to help him test the strength of the rope.

I don't know what this kid is thinking; is there something wrong with his head?

It stared at Chen Yang for a while, and almost realized what was going on. "Little guy, you wouldn't be thinking of using this broken rope to tie me up and keeping me as a pet, would you?"

"How dare you."

Chen Yang quickly shook his head, "How dare I have such unrealistic ideas? I really just wanted you to help me test the limits of this rope. Senior, we promised we wouldn't get angry..."

The ferocious beast paused upon hearing this, its gaze falling on the red rope in Chen Yang's hand. "This red rope of yours does indeed have the power to suppress evil spirits, but it's only good for trapping ordinary Daoist cultivators. It's useless against me..."

"Senior, why don't you give it a try?"

Chen Yang steeled himself, not wanting to explain anything anymore. At this moment, all he wanted was to trick the system into giving him a reward.

If he could obtain that Daozhen Pill, he would also be able to protect himself.

The beast was clearly annoyed. This kid wanted to tie it up with a rope for no reason. It obviously suspected Chen Yang's motives, but if this kid wanted to capture it as a pet, such a method was too stupid.

"Senior, you said you would grant me one wish within your power," Chen Yang said.

The ferocious beast glared at Chen Yang.

"bring it on!"

I doubt this kid can cause any trouble. If he dares to do anything to me, I'll just swallow him whole.

"Thank you, senior."

Overjoyed, Chen Yang quickly manipulated the red rope to wrap around the ferocious beast.

rustling!
The red rope quickly bound the ferocious beast together.

"Senior, do not resist."

Seeing that it instinctively tried to struggle, Chen Yang quickly called out.

The ferocious beast rolled its eyes at Chen Yang.

Does this kid have some kind of weird fetish? Is he doing performance art here?
There's definitely something serious going on.

"The rope carries its own law energy, capable of imprisoning the primordial spirit and locking the physical body. However, this law energy isn't very strong; it's predominantly wood-based, making it more effective against spiritual plants and some spiritual beasts. But for me, I can shatter it with less than 30% of my strength..."

After assessing its own abilities, the beast, true to its professional ethics, began explaining the user experience to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly, but he had no interest in listening to what the ferocious beast was saying.

He had already tied up the ferocious beast, and it didn't resist. Shouldn't that be considered a successful hunt?
After all, the system only said "hunt," not "kill."

I just tied up a water monkey and the system gave me a reward, so there's no reason why tying up this ferocious beast now wouldn't count as a reward, right?

System, if you don't give me this reward, I can't live like this.

Chen Yang cried out in his heart.

"Ding! Hunting SS-level Divine Fiend [Zheng], mission complete. Reward: [Dao Zhen Pill] *1, experience points +100000."

A pleasant notification sound rang out.

At that moment, the system must have been exhausted.

It probably didn't expect Chen Yang to make such a miraculous move. In any case, this ferocious beast was indeed captured by Chen Yang in that instant, and it didn't resist at all.

This bug is well-founded and logically sound.

A look of surprise appeared on Chen Yang's face, and he quickly untied the red rope binding the beast.

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Yang expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

This action really surprised the beast.

This kid really wants me to test the strength of the red rope?

No, is this kid crazy?

Why can't you just ask me for a similar treasure? Instead, you're doing this nonsensical and impractical thing.

wrong.

Seeing Chen Yang put away the red rope, the beast realized something. Could it be that this kid thinks his promise is cheap and looks down on the so-called wish I gave him, so he pulled this stunt?
Right now, the ferocious beast is a little angry.

An oppressive force pressed down on Chen Yang.

The sudden turn of events left Chen Yang completely bewildered.

A terrifying pressure descended upon him, and Chen Yang's expression changed drastically. "Senior, what's wrong?"

"Little guy, do you look down on me?" The ferocious beast glared at Chen Yang and asked sharply.

"Why do you say that, senior?"

"I asked you to make a wish, and you're just going to brush me off like this?"

"No no no."

Faced with the ferocious beast's murderous gaze, Chen Yang quickly denied it, "I just felt that it was only a stick of incense, why should you, senior, spend so much money..."

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated, having almost made a mess of things.

Seeing Chen Yang drenched in sweat, the ferocious beast finally withdrew its imposing aura and sternly demanded, "Give me the Mountain Lord Seal." "This..."

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, but still took out the Mountain Lord Seal again.

The seal floated back to the beast.

The ferocious beast once again grabbed it with its claws.

"Om..."

The seal suddenly shone brightly once more.

After a long while, the light finally faded.

Immediately, the ferocious beast threw the seal back to Chen Yang.

"You can use it three times. After that, your divine power will be exhausted, so use it with caution. If Danyangzi comes looking for you, it should be enough to intimidate him..." the ferocious beast said.

Needless to say, it must have absorbed a lot of energy.

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly thanked him.

The ferocious beast shook its head. "If you really encounter this person, my advice is to run as far away as possible. If it's nearby, you can come to Bei'e Mountain. With me here, he probably won't dare to come..."

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly.

The ferocious beast said, "You must keep this seal safe. Its uses are far more than this. There is still a seal inside. As far as I know, what is hidden inside is a set of inherited cultivation techniques of the Shu Mountain Lord lineage, called the 'Nine-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique'."

"Gong method?"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

His gaze fell on the Mountain Lord Seal in his hand. There was actually a cultivation technique hidden inside the seal.
The ferocious beast nodded. "The Nine-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique is a cultivation method passed down through generations of Shu Mountain Lords. It is said that this technique requires the Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture for foundation building and is a cultivation method for Heavenly Realm experts. However, after the Heavenly Path was severed, this technique is probably useless. But since it is a legacy, it cannot be discarded even if it is not used. Keep it safe, in case the world changes again one day..."

"315 Dental Classic?"

Chen Yang was stunned. "Senior, do you mean that the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' is the foundation-building technique for this 'Nine-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique'?"

What did you hear?
The lost divine skill "Three One Five Tooth Scripture" is actually just the foundation-building technique of "Nine Grade Celestial Immortal Technique".

This is ridiculous!
"You heard that right."

The ferocious beast nodded. "The Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture is a divine skill for building a foundation for the primordial spirit. Before the Heavenly Path is severed, if one cultivates it to perfection, it is possible to break through to the Celestial Realm. However, after entering the Celestial Realm, one must find another cultivation method for the Celestial Realm. This level of cultivation method was extremely rare in the past, and the Ninth-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique is the top-tier one among them."

"The entry into the Nine-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique requires a more powerful, peaceful, and upright primordial spirit. Therefore, the Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture is just right for building its foundation."

"I don't know much about the specifics either, but with your current cultivation level, it's useless for you to know these things. Nowadays, no one can break through to the Celestial Realm, so this technique is no longer of any use."

……

Chen Yang's surprise was palpable, and it took him a while to recover. "Senior, are you familiar with the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture'? As far as I know, this scripture has long been lost. Although I have a part of it, it's just a fragment, a poorly written addition that has been turned into an evil technique. I don't even dare to practice it..."

He took out the scroll of the "Three Ones and Five Teeth Sutra" and wanted to show it to the ferocious beast.

It has clearly lived for many years and knows a lot of things. Could it have seen the original version of the "315 Tooth Sutra"?

The ferocious beast merely glanced at it, seemingly uninterested in examining it.

"The 'Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra' has always been a traditional martial art passed down by the mountain lords of Shu Mountain. However, when it was passed down to the eleventh mountain lord, a flaw appeared..."

"I don't know the reason either, but if you want to find the original cultivation method, I can point you to a place..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes lit up. "Please enlighten me, senior."

The ferocious beast said, "Within this secret realm, many Celestial Realm experts from the Emei Buddhist and Taoist sects have left behind their legacies. Naturally, there are also Mountain Lord caves. Although countless people have come to explore them throughout the ages, and many cave legacies have been obtained by others, as far as I know, there is one in the Eastern Emei Mountains that no one has yet found its trace..."

"It is said that this cave was left by the ninth generation of the Shu Mountain Lord. The predecessor passed away in this secret realm and must have left behind a legacy. The 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' is one of these legacies. Therefore, if you can find this cave, there is a high probability that the original version of the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' will be found inside..."

"Dong'e Mountain?" Chen Yang remembered it.

The ferocious beast said, "If you keep going upstream along the White Dragon River, you'll see East Emei Mountain. There's also a seal on East Emei Mountain, and the guardian beast there is a Bashe (a type of snake), whose strength is no less than mine. That guy has a bad temper and is difficult to deal with. If you go there, you can mention your identity as an Emei disciple, but whatever you do, don't mention me, or it will definitely make things difficult for you..."

Chen Yang's face twitched. "Does Senior have a grudge against it?"

"It's not that we have a grudge, it's just that we don't like each other."

The ferocious beast shook its head. "That fellow likes to eat elephant meat. If you're interested, you can catch a few. If you can win its favor, it's been guarding Dong'e Mountain for many years and might know some information about that cave. Whether you can find it or not depends on your own abilities..."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Chen Yang repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "I don't know how to address you, senior. When I return, I will definitely set up a memorial tablet for you..."

The beast was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by these words.

This little guy is really something else.

"Forget about the memorial tablet. My name is Bei Zheng, and you may also call me Lord Beishan," said the Zheng beast.

"Yes, yes."

Chen Yang quickly said, "So it's Senior Bei Zheng. The Northern Mountain God enshrined in this temple must be you, Senior. When I return, I will definitely build a shrine for you in Emei and worship you every day..."

The beast was both amused and exasperated; this kid really knew how to get things done.

"Go on, and when the time comes, leave the cave quickly. Don't linger like Danyangzi and his gang. Otherwise, if I catch you during the clearing process, I won't be lenient..." The ferocious beast issued an order to leave.

"Yes!"

It seemed there was no point in trying, so Chen Yang reluctantly agreed.

Suddenly remembering something, he quickly asked, "Senior, I'm trapped on the mountain path outside, and I don't know how to leave the barrier?"

The ferocious beast said, "The fog rises in the mountains every day at Shen time and dissipates at You time. The barrier will last until Wei time the next day. The barrier will not block low-intelligence creatures. Between Wei and Shen time, the barrier will be lifted for a quarter of an hour. If you want to leave the mountain, find the right time tomorrow."

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

Between 3 and 4 pm, that is, around 3 or 4 pm, I actually came up the mountain at that time today.

Bad luck!

Chen Yang chuckled dryly, "It's still early. How about I stay here for a day, senior? I still have quite a few questions I'd like to ask for your guidance."

Upon hearing this, the ferocious beast clearly rolled its eyes at him.

It stretched out its paw and tapped the collar around its neck. A crimson wooden plaque fell out, and with a flick of its paw, the plaque flew to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang reached out and caught it.

The wooden plaque was warm to the touch, and it was engraved with some strange animal patterns.

The ferocious beast said, "There will be plenty of time in the future, and we will have the opportunity to meet again. Wear this wooden tag, and the restrictions of this North Mountain will not affect you. You can leave at any time."

A black line appeared on Chen Yang's forehead. This guy was annoyed with him and didn't want him to stay for even a second longer. He was practically kicking him out.

"Yes, this junior will take his leave. Take care, senior!"

Chen Yang wasn't oblivious to people's expressions, so he saw no reason to stay any longer and quickly and respectfully took his leave.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid to be with such a ferocious beast.

Although the beast showed him kindness, he was still uneasy because they had only just met.

……

"Senior, this junior will take his leave."

As Chen Yang descended the stone steps, he turned back and called out again.

The beast didn't respond to him again, probably because it had gone back to sleep.

They're not going to keep me? It seems they really want me to leave.

Chen Yang looked at the wooden plaque in his hand, channeled his true essence into it, and a warm energy enveloped his entire body. He then walked directly towards the stone wall he had just entered from.

This time, there was no need to exert great effort to attack the stone wall; his body simply merged into it.

It was as if it had passed through a curtain of water, without encountering the slightest obstacle.

His vision blurred, and then all that appeared before him was darkness.

Out!
They reappeared in the rift valley.

Looking back, the mountain wall was pitch black, hidden in the darkness. The crater that the water monkey had made seemed to be healing itself, and it was obviously not as big as before.

A mountain breeze blew by, and Chen Yang took a deep breath, feeling as if he were in a dream.

There is such a person hidden in these mountains.

One Daozhen Pill, plus the blessing of the Mountain Lord Seal, and the news of the "Three Ones and Five Teeth Sutra".

The harvest wasn't much, but I'm very satisfied!
I was pretty lucky!

With the Daozhen Pill in hand, Chen Yang felt he was in good shape again. Even if Danyangzi came after him, he would have the strength to fight.

They have gained more confidence.

At this time, Danyangzi should still be waiting for news of the water monkey at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should lure him up the mountain and join forces with Bei Zheng to take him down.
