Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 365 Mysterious Treasure Recognizes Its Master
The Moonlit Cave Heaven is bathed in the flowing light of the moon.

A slender figure quietly appeared under the laurel tree; it was the maid who had been ordered to leave earlier.

"Holy Maiden, here is the information you requested." The maid presented it with both hands, her tone respectful.

Gu Qinghan opened her eyes, and the jade slip in the maid's hand slowly fell into her palm.

"Buzz!"

Driven by her divine sense, Gu Qinghan's expression remained unchanged until she saw a name.

Chen Beiwu, the top-ranked player on the Jade Void List!
Chen Beiwu was born in Pingyuan Township, Yuankong County, Yunlong Prefecture. He had a clean background. The strongest member of his clan was only a Qi Refining cultivator. However, his maternal ancestors had once been glorious and produced a Nascent Soul True Venerable, but they had long since declined.

At first, he was of average talent, merely a prodigy in a county-level cultivation school, and his reputation was unknown. However, after contracting a rare species, the Golden Scale, with the Spirit Beast Pavilion of the Fallen Dragon Mansion, his potential was unleashed, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Subsequently, with his astonishing comprehension, he comprehended the Dao by listening to the Soul Cleansing Melody at the Cloud Sound Pavilion, entered the Qi Refining Transcendence Realm, stood out in the Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination, joined the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, forged a flawless Dao foundation, and ranked third on the Jade Purity Fresh Talent List...

'No time for Foundation Establishment, Primordial Golden Core, Defeated Dao Body, Reversed Nascent Soul…' Gu Qinghan murmured to himself, his expression full of interest.

Gu Qinghan's intuition told her that the source of the abnormality in her own destiny might be related to Chen Beiwu.

Unfortunately, we can't be sure; we need to observe further.

Gu Qinghan put down the jade slip and gazed thoughtfully at the night sky.

After a moment's thought, Gu Qinghan looked up at the maid beside her and said, "Pass on my decree, in the name of the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, to invite Chen Beiwu to come to Taiyin Cave for further study."

Upon hearing this, the maid was slightly taken aback and almost lost control of her expression.

This Chen Beiwu is truly remarkable; he actually caught the eye of the Holy Maiden.

She had followed the Holy Maiden for hundreds of years, but had never been able to obtain a place for further study in the Taiyin Grotto!

Forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, the attendant remained calm, respectfully accepted the order, and withdrew.

After watching the maid leave, Gu Qinghan slowly stood up.

The concept of destiny is not unfounded.

Those with unfathomable cultivation and special destinies can sense the existence of destiny in the unseen realm.

Luck is ethereal, formless, intangible, untouchable, and unattainable. Even the most powerful cultivator in the Immortal Alliance, the Refining Void Dao Venerable, cannot use his profound abilities to capture this elusive luck.

However, there are always exceptions.

For ordinary cultivators, fortune is beyond their control, and those who scheme against others are prone to backlash. However, there are also people in this world who are blessed with great fortune.

Such beings are born by divine mandate, and their every move can often stir up a storm, determine the rise and fall of a sect or region, and even lead to the attainment of great supernatural powers.

Chen Beiwu's ability to defeat a Nascent Soul True Monarch with his peak Golden Core cultivation is not only due to his formidable strength, but more importantly, it is likely due to the great fortune he possesses.

'If I could win over such a person of great fortune and bring them under my command, my destiny might be able to advance even further,' Gu Qinghan thought to himself.

Those with great fortune can only be accepted by those with great fortune; others who touch them will suffer a backlash if their virtue is not commensurate with their position, resulting in either fortune or misfortune.

Ordinary geniuses cannot suppress those with great fortune and dare not act recklessly, but Gu Qinghan possesses the most powerful Taiyin Body in the Immortal Alliance and has boundless fortune, so naturally he will not be afraid of Chen Beiwu.

……

Tianyan Immortal Sect, Luoxia Villa.

"Have you made up your mind?" Chen Beiwu asked the three little ones.

The thirteen Heavenly Treasures recorded in the jade slip are all top-tier treasures. If he can cultivate with the life force of the Tongcan Beast, so that the man, the artifact, and the beast become one and their spirits are in sync, the power that will be unleashed will be far beyond imagination.

Therefore, Chen Beiwu struggled for two days and was unable to make a decision.

Upon hearing this, the three little ones nodded repeatedly, mentally stating the Heavenly Treasure they desired.

After the voting ended, Chen Beiwu no longer hesitated and triggered the restriction on the jade slip, causing it to shine brightly.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a figure appeared in front of Chen Beiwu.

"You must have already made up your mind to summon me here, young friend," said True Venerable Tao Yan calmly.

Chen Beiwu bowed and presented the jade slip with both hands.

Tao Yan Zhenzun took the jade slip, glanced at it, and looked somewhat surprised.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider and want to choose this Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasure?"

Tao Yan Zhenzun raised his eyes, his tone calm, yet with a hint of solemnity.

"I'm sure," Chen Beiwu nodded without hesitation.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will take you there." True Venerable Taoyan said no more, and gently flicked his sleeve.

The scene around Chen Beiwu immediately blurred and distorted, revealing a world without sun, moon, or stars, only a five-colored aurora sky.

"This realm is called the Five Elements Blessed Land," True Venerable Tao Yan explained simply.

"Na!"

Before Chen Beiwu could react, the Five Qi Vine, sensing the generation and destruction of the Five Elements, jumped excitedly, its gaze instinctively turning towards the due east direction.

Through its five-element sensing ability, the Five-element Vine discovered a medicinal garden to the due east, filled with countless precious and mysterious herbs, which made it extremely envious.

"Stealing spiritual plants from the Green Wood Herb Garden without permission is a capital offense," True Venerable Tao Yan said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qi Teng trembled, dismissed the thought, and dared not look at Tao Yan Zhen Zun again.

"Follow me. That Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasure is deep within the core of the Five Elements Blessed Land. You cannot use the Teleportation Mysterious Power." True Venerable Tao Yan urged his escape light forward.

Chen Beiwu followed closely behind, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed. It was no longer a clearly defined area of ​​five directions and five elements, but a strange basin where they blended together.

The two eventually stopped deep in the basin.

"This is the Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasure you wanted."

Tao Yan Zhenzun pointed forward, and countless spatial ripples emerged.

"Buzz!"

As the restrictions were lifted, a pair of wings with a wingspan of about ten feet came into Chen Beiwu's view.

Its main skeleton has a special texture, floats in the air, and has a matte color that is neither gold nor jade.

Above the main trunk is a layer of translucent periosteum.

This periosteum is not a thin membrane, but is made up of countless fine crystals of the five elements stacked on top of each other, emitting a brilliant glow of the five elements corresponding to green, red, yellow, white and black.

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not use his divine sense to investigate.

The reason is simple: the space around this wing is distorted, giving it an extremely dangerous feel.

"Na!"

Seeing Chen Beiwu's serious expression, Wu Qiteng swallowed hard and didn't dare to step forward rashly.

"This treasure is called the Five Elements Bright King Wings," True Venerable Tao Yan introduced. "Its core material is the wings of a fifth-order Creation Beast, the Five Elements Great Roc Bright King, which were taken from its young."

Chen Beiwu nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Five Elements Great Roc King is a descendant of the Primordial Dao Beast, the Golden-Winged Roc. He inherited the Golden-Winged Roc's speed and divine power, and also wields the authority of the Five Elements Divine Light. Therefore, he is revered as the Five Elements Great Roc King by the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.

This fearsome beast is incredibly fast. With a flap of its wings, it can use the power of the five elements to traverse a realm, ignoring spatial barriers. It is one of the top three fastest beasts on the Immortal Alliance's Creation Beast Ranking.

It is no exaggeration to say that in a battle between beings of the same realm, even a Nascent Soul True Venerable could not catch up with the Five Elements Great Roc King. It is precisely because the Five Elements Great Roc King is so powerful that the Five Elements King Wing Fang was able to receive the most votes.

Unfortunately, the main material for crafting the Five Elements Bright King Wings was only a primordial beast cub, not a fifth-realm demon lord whose bloodline had reached its limit. Otherwise, the Five Elements Bright King Wings would at least be a Creation Primordial Artifact.

Noticing the regret in Chen Beiwu's eyes, True Venerable Taoyan understood.

For cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, the value of a living Five Elements Roc King cub is immeasurable; even Creation Yuan Artifacts and Creation Yuan Pills cannot compare.

Unfortunately, when he conquered the outer realms back then, this Five Elements Roc King cub had already been killed by an unrecognizable extraterrestrial deity, leaving only some bloodline essence and a pair of wings containing the Dao of the Five Elements, greatly reducing its value.

Otherwise, True Venerable Taoyan would rather feed this young Roc King to the Fellow Beast than refine it into a Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Treasure.

"This wing combines extreme speed, defense, and offense, making it one of the top treasures even among the Immortal Alliance's Heavenly Treasures."

At this point, True Venerable Taoyan changed the subject: "But this thing has no spirit. Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch with a deep understanding of the Five Elements Dao and a cultivator with the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root can refine it, and may not even be able to unleash much power. Instead, they may be injured by it."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged.

Among the thirteen available Heavenly Treasures, the Five Elements Bright King Wings is the only one without a spirit.

It is precisely because it lacks a spirit that this Heavenly Treasure is not only extremely difficult to refine, but also one of the most demanding to control, far less convenient than a treasure with a spirit that can be activated with a single thought.

But while the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance might dislike it, Chen Beiwu certainly didn't.

For him, it was better if the Tongtian Xuanbao did not develop a spirit, as it would not expose his secrets.

After all, with Chen Beiwu's current cultivation level, he has no way to forcibly seal a Tongtian Xuanbao whose spirituality is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

“This item requires a blood oath to be bound to its owner; you may step forward and give it a try,” said True Venerable Tao Yan.

Chen Beiwu nodded, and under the guidance of the Nascent Soul True Venerable, he forced out his essence blood, which dripped onto the wings of the Five Elements Bright King.

"Hiss!" A very faint sound rang out.

Under the watchful eyes of the Golden Egg, the Iron Egg, and the Five Qi Vine, the essence blood dripping from Chen Beiwu did not merge into the Five Elements Bright King Wings and be absorbed by them. Instead, it vanished at a visible speed under the flow of the Five Elements Radiance, turning into a wisp of green smoke.

The Five Elements Bright King Wings remained suspended in the air, as if nothing had happened.

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Good heavens, the Tongtian Xuanbao is indeed difficult to deal with. Even without a spirit, it is still full of spirituality.

"Hey!" (I'm here to help you)

Wu Qi Teng clasped his hands together, channeling the Five Elements Treasure Light to strike Chen Beiwu's shoulder, causing the latter to drip blood again.

"laugh!"

The result was usually the same: the essence and blood once again turned into blue smoke and vanished.

"Hey!" (How could that be!)
Five Qi Vine was taken aback. Refusing to believe it, it stretched out its right hand, intending to pick up the Five Elements Bright King Wings.

"Buzz!"

The Five Elements Bright King Wings flashed with light, and the Five Qi Vine's right hand instantly vanished, leaving only an elbow.

Fortunately, Ming Wang Yi only resisted instinctively and did not unleash too much power. The Five Qi Vine also possessed the profound power of the Five Qi Transformation. With just a thought, his right hand, which had lost half of its length, was instantly restored to its original state.

"The Five Elements Bright King Wings failed to refine the essence blood, indicating that the recognition of its master has failed. Young friend Chen can change his mind and choose another Heavenly Mysterious Treasure to recognize and refine."

Having witnessed all of this, True Venerable Taoyan spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

Although the Tongtian Xuanbao, which possesses a spirit, is proud, it also knows how to assess the situation and will even take the initiative to choose a prodigy with unlimited potential to recognize it as his master, so as to break the shackles and go further to transform into a creation artifact.

The Five Elements Bright King Wing is the opposite; it has no spirit, only spirituality, and acts rather rigidly, recognizing a master only based on compatibility.

To put it bluntly, given Chen Beiwu's current talent and aptitude, he could succeed in choosing any Heavenly Treasure, except for the Five Elements Bright King Wing.

However, the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect also had their reasons. The reason they included this treasure on the list was to see how much luck Chen Beiwu possessed.

But True Venerable Taoyan scoffed at this.

How could the fortune of a peerless genius be measured by a single heaven-reaching treasure?
"Senior, I'd like to try again." Chen Beiwu took a deep breath.

“Agreed.” True Venerable Taoyan nodded slightly.

This time, Chen Beiwu did not attempt the blood oath ceremony, but instead closed his eyes.

'The primordial mystery is all-pervading; all things return to their origin.'

A spark of inspiration, tracing back to the source!

Chen Beiwu pointed his fingers like a sword, circulating the Primordial Golden Elixir to enlighten the profound, and pointed one finger at the Five Elements Bright King Wing.

"Buzz!"

The Ming King's Wings shone brightly for a moment, then seemed to sense something and suddenly vanished, revealing its simple and unadorned skeleton.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu felt relieved and pressed his fingertips on the core of Ming Wang's wing.

It seems he was right; the profound enlightenment of the Primordial Golden Elixir is extraordinary.

A single spark of primordial metal can give birth to lotuses in the void, nurture spirits in withered stones, enlighten innate bloodlines, and reverse destiny. Even the most powerful and mysterious treasures would not resist such an opportunity.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three breaths later, when Chen Beiwu withdrew his finger, Ming Wangyi was suddenly jolted.

The five-colored light flowing around it became incredibly active, no longer aloof as before, and transformed into a streak of light that actively approached Chen Beiwu, emitting an impatient roar.

'Is this the Primordial Golden Core Profound Understanding?' True Venerable Tao Yan's eyes flashed, and he quickly realized.

No wonder Chen Beiwu never used the Primordial Profound Power at the Immortal Sect Exchange Meeting; it turns out that what he awakened was the Profound Power specifically for enlightening magical treasures and mystical artifacts.

No, that's not right!

Tao Yan Zhenzun's gaze swept over the golden egg, the iron egg, and the five qi vines.

If he wasn't mistaken, this profound technique could also enlighten the bloodline of the same beast, with effects far surpassing the killing profound technique.

On the other side, Chen Beiwu was very satisfied with Ming Wangyi, whose style had suddenly changed and who seemed to want to stick to him. He even had the mind to carefully examine his appearance and aura.

"Buzz!"

Seeing that Chen Beiwu did not make a move, the Five Elements Bright King Wings closed directly, suppressing all its power, like a spoiled child.

Without hesitation, Chen Beiwu forced out a drop of his essence blood.

This time, Ming Wangyi did not refuse and took the initiative to go forward, circulating his five-colored radiance to absorb the essence blood, and radiating an unprecedented light.

Before long, a feeling of blood connection welled up in Chen Beiwu's heart, which was the sign that he had recognized his master.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu sent down the Five Elements Bright King Wings, which fit perfectly into his shoulder blades and became part of his body.

"Does this count as a fusion?"

Jin Dan curiously touched the Ming Wang Wing behind Chen Beiwu, finding it to be warm and smooth.

Iron Egg and Five Qi Vine felt that Chen Beiwu's appearance had changed drastically, and he had gained an indescribable majesty and domineering aura, even giving them a faint sense of invincibility.
