Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 407 Heavenly Cry Immortal Palace
Tianming Immortal Cultivation World.

Asgard.

As the upper realm power that has ruled the Tianming Immortal Cultivation World since ancient times, all other cultivation sects in this world are merely subordinate to the Immortal Palace.

All the geniuses in other cultivation sects aim to be selected by the Immortal Palace and enter the Immortal Palace for cultivation.

The progress and state of cultivation of these prodigies have been closely watched by many powerful figures in the Immortal Palace.

Being chosen by a celestial realm is a significant event, even in a celestial palace teeming with geniuses.

In particular, the grotto-heaven that has descended upon us this time is a grotto-heaven of two realms that has not appeared for tens of thousands of years!
"Great Elder!"

The arrival of this grotto-heaven alarmed several Dao Inquiry level elders of the Immortal Palace. Even the Grand Elder, who held the greatest power in the Immortal Palace, was alerted to emerge from seclusion while the two Palace Masters were on their way to the Pangu Continent.

"Hasn't it come out yet?"

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace looked at the several Taoist-robed elders in front of him and asked a question.

"Not yet, but it should be soon." An elderly man in the early stages of the Dao inquiry stepped forward.

"Elder Fu, which disciples were chosen by the Two Realms Grotto-Heavens this time?" the Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace asked.

Elder Fu replied, "All five are true disciples, including Lü Wangshu, whom you, the Grand Elder, highly regard! And the rare beast I picked up from outside is also among them!"

"Is that so?" The Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace stroked his beard and said, "This Lü Wangshu, in less than a hundred years, his main body and avatar have both reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and his Taiyin and Taiyang bodies have both reached their peak. He is indeed a good seedling."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will also be able to obtain one of the next batch of slots for entering the Origin Realm from the Heavenly Cry Realm."

"If he achieves something in the Origin Realm, one of us could take him as a disciple and pave the way for his path to enlightenment."

"Indeed," Elder Fu sighed, "With him here, our Tianming Realm should be victorious in this Two Realms Grotto Heaven event. I just wonder how much information we can gather about the Tianyuan Realm. Both are celestial palace lineages, yet the Tianyuan Realm has still not been found by the 'Cultivation Alliance.' I wonder if it has already been taken over by the Heavenly Demon Sect..."

Several elders nodded slightly. The two immortal palaces in the cultivation world did not actually have completely overlapping inheritances, and each had its own emphasis.

Currently, the Tianming cultivation world is not considered one of the top cultivation worlds in the cultivation alliance.

If we can make contact with the Tianyuan Realm, and the two great immortal palaces cooperate, we will definitely gain a greater voice in the cultivation alliance...

Soon.

The five pillars of light from the celestial caves dissipated on the five peaks of a mountain range within the Immortal Palace.

Each peak in this mountain range is inhabited by a true disciple. As the barrier dissipated, several elders seeking enlightenment quickly released their divine senses.

A moment later, Elder Fu's expression changed, because he discovered that the rare demon Zhuo Mu had not returned!
In this situation, there is only one possibility: he died in the cave!

"This is!" The Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace also changed his expression, discovering that Lü Wangshu, the number one Nascent Soul disciple of the Immortal Palace, had returned lying in a coma, his body covered in poison!
"Come!" He waved his hand in the clouds, and Lü Wangshu was lifted into the air and delivered to several elders who had inquired about the Dao.

“It’s Gu poison.” The Grand Elder said in surprise, “What a vicious Gu poison. It can’t be suppressed without the power of Void Profound, and it can’t be cured without the power of Asking the Way.”

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and Lü Wangshu's expression instantly improved. At the same time, the other geniuses from the Immortal Palace who had returned from the cave were also pulled up by the Inquiry Elders.

These Nascent Soul prodigies had never seen anything like this before. Even when a prodigy was chosen by a grotto-heaven in the past, at most the Void Profound Elders would come to inquire. But these two grotto-heavens had actually attracted even the Inquiry Elders! "They lost?"

Judging from the mental state of these disciples, the Asking Elders knew that they were mostly from the Tianming Realm and had been defeated in the battle between the Two Realms Grotto-Heavens!
Their faces darkened; what a bunch of good-for-nothings…

"Elder." Lu Wangshu looked terrified when he woke up, not expecting that the Elder would personally detoxify him.

"Take good care of your injuries." The Grand Elder glanced at Lü Wangshu with disappointment. No matter what, a loss is a loss. In the Immortal Palace, there is no consolation like "do better next time," because there are too many talented geniuses. All the geniuses of the realm gather here. If you are not good enough, then go down, and the resources will be enjoyed by others.

"Reporting to the elders, it was our incompetence that led to our defeat in the battle for the grotto-heaven." Several disciples knelt down and begged the elders for forgiveness.

"Sigh." Several elders who were originally full of confidence also shook their heads. The quality of this year's disciples was indeed not good, far worse than the previous year.

Elder Fu looked at them indifferently and asked, "So, Zhuo Mu died in the cave? Could it be that a celestial body has emerged in the Tianyuan Realm, a celestial body in the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Your name is Tianlian, right? You tell me."

Elder Fu glanced at the Shenlian Body, who was in the best condition, and Tianlian immediately said, "...Reporting to the Elder, it is not an immortal body, but a beast-taming cultivator who has mastered the 'Beast Taming Technique'...an extremely outrageous beast-taming cultivator."

"A beast-taming cultivator?" Even the Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace was puzzled. How could a beast-taming cultivator so easily defeat the geniuses carefully selected and nurtured by the Immortal Palace from various sects?

Beast Taming Technique—isn't that the kind of cultivation method favored by second-generation immortals with a little wealth but no ambition?

"Yes, Beast Taming cultivator... Senior Brother Lü's poisonous wound was inflicted by a poisonous spider sent by the other side."

"Junior Brother Zhuo Mu was also killed by a carp spirit sent by the other side, and was refined into pills while still alive."

"And Junior Brother Yuan Liu was also injured by a squirrel spirit sent by the other side, who hit him with a demon core..."

"Wait, are you saying that you were all defeated by the same beast-taming cultivator??" Elder Fu wondered if he had misheard something.

Tian Lian smiled bitterly: "Each of their pets has the strength to crush us. That beast-taming cultivator only sent out one pet at a time, yet we were already unable to contend with them."

"What a joke." The Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace frowned. This was even more outrageous than encountering several immortal bodies.

When did beast-taming cultivators become able to achieve this level?

Or rather, why would a beast-taming cultivator with the ability to control so many monstrous beasts choose to cultivate the Beast Taming Technique instead of any other immortal cultivation method?

Next, after several elders learned more about the details of the battle for the cave heavens, they became increasingly angry.

It seems that the Celestial Palace's lineage in the Tianyuan Realm has been severed. Under such circumstances, how could these disciples still suffer such a crushing defeat?

Not only did they lose, they also failed to bring back any useful intelligence.

"You are the worst generation of true disciples I have ever seen." The Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace said calmly, "Your Senior Brother Shangguan is already in the Origin Realm, cultivating an acquired immortal body through immortal sources. The other senior brothers have also made considerable progress and are currently competing with the geniuses of the Heavenly Demon Realm for more immortal sources to strengthen Tianming! How can the Immortal Palace feel at ease sending you to the Origin Realm to compete with the geniuses of all realms in your current state!?"

"From today onwards, the four of you will go to the 'Valley of Burial Souls' for secluded cultivation. If you are unable to leave the Valley of Burial Souls on your own, you will be disqualified from competing for a spot in the Origin Realm!"
