Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 142 Third-Order Heavenly Array
The owner of this remnant soul was at the Foundation Establishment stage in life, a realm far surpassing that of the golden egg.

If one rashly devours the golden egg, at best one will be affected by the memories and resentment within the remnant soul, leading to mental confusion.

In severe cases, the obsession of the corpse's owner can cause a drastic change in temperament, or even complete loss of control.

After all, the difference in cultivation level between the two was too great, and divine sense was not a field that Golden Egg was good at.

"Gulu."

Upon hearing Chen Beiwu's reminder, the golden egg changed its mind on the spot, condensed water into a spike, and sprayed out a water-splitting blade that was as transparent as glass and had water flowing at high speed inside.

The water blade struck the ghost that had been split in two, triggering a series of water vapor explosions.

"Well done." Chen Beiwu sheathed his sword.

The remnant soul within the corpse was already at the end of its rope.

After his repeated attacks with the golden egg, it vanished into thin air and returned to the world.

"Gulu?"

Golden Egg turned its head to look at the broken window frame of the wooden house on the right, where a green scale suddenly emerged.

'Ignore it.'

Patting the golden egg on the head, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to look at the wooden house.

Having lost the remnant soul that once resided there, the corpse on the futon had lost all its spirituality, except for the storage ring on the finger, which shone brightly.

After removing the storage ring, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense.

As expected, consistent with the last words left in the jade slip, the storage ring has a special restriction, and it is impossible to defeat it with divine sense alone.

'There are third-tier weapon refiners in the sect's weapon refining hall, so breaking the restrictions on the storage ring shouldn't be a problem,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

Although he didn't know much about weapon crafting, he understood one thing.

The owner of the corpse was only at the Foundation Establishment stage during his lifetime, and the strength of the restrictions he set up was limited. It is not necessary to fulfill his last wishes to remove the restrictions on the storage ring.

As for revenge, Chen Beiwu decided to let nature take its course.

……

At the bottom of the cliff overlooking the lake on the southeast side of the wooden house, there is a main cave about two zhang high and shaped like an inverted triangle.

The cave walls are covered with dents of varying depths, caused by the molting of emerald-scaled snakes rubbing against the stone walls.

'Is this the location of Qian Yuan's ancestor's tomb?'

Looking at the densely packed, intertwined emerald scales inside the cave, Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

Good guy!
The ancestors did not recognize their own flesh and blood, and the descendants did not acknowledge their blood ties. The actions of these two people are truly outrageous.

It seems that the Foundation Establishment cultivator harbored considerable resentment towards his ancestors during his lifetime, which is why he allowed the snakes to occupy the main hall of the tomb and disrupt the feng shui of the place.

Indeed, if the Qian family ancestors had been willing to pass on their third-tier Golden Core magic treasure to their clansmen instead of taking it to the grave, the Qian family, with its Golden Core magic treasure, would not have been wiped out by a Foundation Establishment family.

After all, a Golden Core magic weapon possesses a trace of immortal spirituality, and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wielding it can completely sweep through the same realm.

Even if you encounter a fake Core Formation cultivator, you can still have a chance.

Chen Beiwu came here to try his luck precisely because he knew that a third-tier Golden Core magic weapon was incredibly powerful.

The treasure will be obtained by the destined one.

The fact that Qian Yuan couldn't find the ancestral treasure doesn't mean he couldn't either.

A few hours later, as night fell, Chen Beiwu looked at the seven stone tablets in the distance of the snake cave, which could easily be overlooked if one was not careful, and his eyes revealed a look of understanding.

No wonder Qian Yuan, a second-tier high-grade array master, was unable to break through the ancestral tomb-guarding array even after spending more than two hundred years.

Among the three formations of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the most profound, obscure, and powerful is the Heaven Formation, which draws upon the power of the stars in the heavens.

The seemingly random arrangement of the stone tablets near the tomb chamber actually corresponds to the following celestial bodies: Tian Shu (Greedy Wolf), Tian Xuan (Giant Gate), Tian Ji (Prosperity), Tian Quan (Literary Star), Yu Heng (Integrity Star), Kai Yang (Martial Star), and Yao Guang (Broken Army).

Using the Big Dipper as the pivot, the Twenty-Eight Mansions constellation is transformed, and the malevolent energy of the Greedy Wolf Star is drawn into one's fate, forming a "Seven Stars Inflicting Death, Extreme Yin Seven Killings" fate.

'What a strange celestial formation!' Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly.

With his current mastery of array formations, he could only discern the surface of this grand array. He had no idea what the purpose of the array drawing upon the light of the other six stars of the Big Dipper was.

However, Chen Beiwu was certain of one thing: the tomb-guarding formation in front of him was definitely a heavenly formation of the third rank or higher.

Such a grand formation possesses unfathomable power; a single move can affect the entire system.

Even if a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator were to break in, they would most likely meet a certain death.

'Is it really necessary to make such an exaggerated tomb-guarding formation?' The more Chen Beiwu thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Considering the terrifying nature of the third-order grand formation, he did not rush in. Instead, he picked up a pen and paper and recorded the general layout of the formation and the guiding starlight.

……

Immortal Alliance, cultivation room.

Chen Beiwu pushed open the door and went downstairs.

"Would you like something to eat?" Huang Xiaoling asked, getting up.

"No need, I have to go back to school to register later."

Chen Beiwu looked around. "Where's Dad?"

Huang Xiaoling: "He should be shipping the goods from the warehouse."

Just as he finished speaking, a sound came from the front door, and Chen Dong walked in.

"Son, the number of orders on the Wanling app has been decreasing lately, and some of the Dendrobium nobile piling up in the warehouse is also unsellable," Chen Dong reminded him softly.

"It's alright. I'll do a live stream these next few days, and the viewership should recover quite a bit." Chen Beiwu smiled.

During this time, he had been cultivating in seclusion in the Southern Wilderness, occasionally studying the third-order Heavenly Array of Spirit Lake and the Soul Devouring Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts. He left the business of selling goods via live streaming entirely to his parents.

If it weren't for the fact that today is the day when senior students of Shouhe No. 2 Middle School have to report for duty, he might still be studying how to combine the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Array with the Soul-Locking Stone.

"Now that our family is much better off financially, Mom and Dad, would you like to continue your cultivation?" Chen Beiwu suggested.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong and Huang Xiaoling exchanged a smile.

“No need, cultivating immortality is too arduous. If I were truly suited for cultivation, I wouldn’t be unable to even break through to the late stage of Qi Refining,” Chen Dong was the first to speak.

“That’s right, cultivating immortality is too tiring.” Huang Xiaoling nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu sighed inwardly.

In the Immortal Alliance, status is determined by cultivation level; any claim of not wanting to cultivate is a lie.

The two elders rejected his proposal for three reasons: first, they were too embarrassed to accept it; second, they were disheartened; and third, they didn't want to waste their spiritual energy.

Compared to the former two, Chen Beiwu prefers the latter.

'My current cultivation level is still a bit too low,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

If he has already achieved Foundation Establishment and his influence has greatly increased, his parents certainly wouldn't refuse his suggestion.

Chen Beiwu did not try to dissuade him further and got up to go to the school to report for duty.

"Good morning, Teacher Zhao." Chen Beiwu greeted the slender figure standing at the school gate.

Teacher Zhao nodded slightly, a smile on her face.

There are very few outstanding talents in array formation within the Soaring Class, and this student is the only one who has impressed her deeply.

If he hadn't come from a poor background, he might already be an advanced array master.

Wait, something's wrong.

Teacher Zhao's pupils contracted as she keenly sensed the change in Chen Beiwu's aura, her eyes filled with doubt.

More than half a year has passed since we last met, and Chen Beiwu has actually jumped from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining. What kind of cultivation speed is this?

"Teacher, I have a question about formations that I would like to ask you. Do you have time at noon?" Chen Beiwu asked humbly.
