Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 367 Fifth-Order Yuan Talisman
Qingming Peak, Shuiyan Residence.

Chen Beiwu slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and ended his night of cultivation.

Beside him, the golden egg stood solemnly, its three pairs of dragon eyes fixed on the "Return to Truth Chapter" of the "Record of Myriad Aspects of the Northern Sea of ​​Heaven," as if it were urging its divine sense to carefully experience the profound immortal techniques contained within the jade slip.

However, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, and he noticed that the golden dragon's eyes were somewhat lifeless. He subconsciously stretched out his right hand and moved it back and forth in front of it to probe.

'She's asleep again!'

Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly, revealing a smile that said he hadn't expected it.

As his cultivation level increased, Jin Dan's personality became less timid, and he even showed the courage of a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, daring to confront any opponent he encountered.

But beneath this fierceness, Jin Dan's inherent laziness remains.

Quietly cultivate, comprehend the techniques, and refine your mind.

For the Golden Egg, when encountering incomprehensible immortal techniques and magical arts, it can simply use the most direct and brutal method, namely, to absorb them through the Three-Phase Furnace, without having to bother with comprehension.

Therefore, every time Jin Dan tries to comprehend the "Tianyi Beiming Wanxiang Daolu", he will fall asleep halfway through. He will pretend to comprehend it while keeping his three dragon eyes open, but in reality, he will secretly fall asleep.

'That's enough. Too much of a good thing can be bad. We'll adjust gradually later.'

Chen Beiwu did not wake the golden egg, but instead used his divine sense to probe the medicinal herb field in the backyard.

A petite figure could be seen busily moving among the various medicinal herbs, sometimes reaching out to remove withered leaves, and sometimes tilting the spout to pour out specially made spiritual liquid to water them.

After completing the cultivation of the spiritual herb, Wuqi Teng nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.

For the Five Qi Vine, cultivation is both about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve one's own cultivation level, and about planting spiritual herbs and treasures to transform natural resources into sustenance and enhance one's own bloodline.

'Good, the little guy is still the most reassuring.'

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly and probed the iron egg in the alchemy room with his divine sense.

At this moment, Tie Dan was lying quietly on the ground. With each inhale, the Zhenhuo Xuanzhan in front of him would flicker slightly, emitting a trace of extremely pure strange fire source power that entered his body.

The entire refining process was orderly and methodical, not at all like refining an extremely dangerous strange fire, but more like daily breathing exercises and cultivation.

"Om."

Suddenly, Tie Dan's aura surged, and he instinctively activated the "Crimson Bright Nine Luminaries Devouring Sun Nirvana Scripture." The source of the strange fire gushing from the Zhenhuo Xuanzhan also changed from a babbling stream to an extremely powerful and turbulent one.

'Very good, the energy is still rising.'

With a thought, Chen Beiwu activated Cangming Taxu to appear in the alchemy room to protect Tie Dan.

Different kinds of fire from heaven and earth are rare and precious.

Even a partially refined Soul-Stabilizing Flame, once fully refined, would be enough for Tie Dan to break through the barrier between realms and advance his cultivation to the next level.

799 years!

Eight hundred and fifteen years!
Eight hundred and eighty-eight years!

As the inner core within Tie Dan's body spun incessantly, emitting an ever-changing radiance, the vast spiritual energy permeating the heavens and earth began to slowly decline.

"Wang!"

At the same time, a flash of spiritual light appeared in the vertical eye on Tie Dan's forehead, and his entire body trembled simultaneously, gathering all the refined strange fire essence in his brow, forming a drop of crimson mystic seal that resembled a burning star.

The crimson seal and vertical eyes complemented each other, giving Tie Dan's face a more imposing appearance.

As Tie Dan's cultivation level surged, Chen Beiwu also activated his divine sense to probe his lineage.

[Xantong]: Red Ming Nirvana
[Attribute]: Fire

[Rank]: Tier 4 Supreme (Upgradeable)

[Introduction]: This profound knowledge originates from the eighteenth position of the Thirty-Six Parts of the Jade Purity Primordial Immortal Method, the "Red Bright Nine Luminaries Devouring the Sun Nirvana Scripture".

Based on immortal techniques, one can comprehend the true meaning of the birth and death of the Crimson Light and condense a Crimson Light Fire Seed, which can then give birth to the Crimson Light Nirvana Fire, which can burn the heavens and boil the seas and evolve into all kinds of fire.

Note: By using the Crimson Nirvana Fire as a foundation and following the path of the Nine Luminaries Devouring the Sun, one can forge the Great Heavenly Purification Prison Form, achieve the Nine Luminaries Venerable Body, and attain the Dao of the Five Realms Demon Venerable.

Upon sensing the information about this innate and profound talent, Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback.

Unlike the third-tier superior-grade treasure technique [Sun-Devouring Fire], the Crimson Nirvana Fire is undoubtedly a bloodline profound ability that directly targets the fifth-realm demon lord.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as Tie Dan devours enough and powerful strange fire, he might be able to advance to the Nascent Soul True Monarch even faster than him in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although strange fire is a creation of heaven and earth, it also depends on whether it is compatible with the environment.

Among Chen Beiwu's five elemental spiritual roots, the fire and earth elements have the lowest purity.

The strange fire could help Tie Dan advance to the fourth realm demon king, or even the fifth realm demon lord, but it might not be suitable for him.

Fortunately, Chen Beiwu had forged the Primordial Golden Core and also had the method of cultivating with the help of beasts. As Tie Dan's cultivation increased, his breakthrough in realm was equivalent to a surge in his strength.

This might make Jin Dan feel anxious, prompting him to find several third-tier dragons, or even fourth-tier dragons, to devour using the Three-Phase Furnace Mystic Power, thus improving his cultivation and bloodline, lest he be surpassed by Tie Dan.

"Wang."

Tie Dan opened his eyes, quickly walked to Chen Beiwu and knelt down to show his loyalty.

"How do you feel?" Chen Beiwu chuckled.

"Woof." (Feels good)

Tie Dan turned his gaze to Jin Dan, who was standing guard to the side.

Its intuition told it that it might not be a match for the golden egg in a one-on-one fight.

However, if it is determined to escape, even if the golden egg possesses the Three Absolute True Qi that can break through space, it may not be able to suppress it.

Noticing Tie Dan's gaze, Jin Dan's three dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly activated the Three Phases Manifestation Profound Power.

Something is wrong!
This guy has become somewhat arrogant after his cultivation level increased. Could it be that he has his eye on my position as a loyal subject and wants to usurp it? His eyes are full of fighting spirit.

"Na!"

The Five Qi Vine's gaze shifted back and forth between the golden egg and the iron egg, its expression somewhat conflicted, as if it were hesitating about which side it should help if a real fight broke out.

"Let me see your newly acquired profound abilities."

Chen Beiwu was multitasking, simultaneously using his immortal techniques to refine the feedback from the shared contract and communicating with Tie Dan to prevent the two little guys from fighting.

Tie Dan opened his mouth without hesitation.

At first, there was nothing unusual about its mouth.

A quarter of an hour later, a point of crimson-gold light slowly emerged from Tie Dan's mouth.

This glimmer of crimson gold was initially as small as a bean, but it suddenly rose up and transformed into a flame about the size of a fist.

The moment the Crimson Nirvana Fire appeared, the light inside the cave dimmed and the temperature soared dramatically.

"This fire seems to have some of the characteristics of the Soul-Stabilizing Fire."

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched out his finger to sense things remotely.

The sensation from his fingertips was not the violent erosion and terrifying heat he had expected, but a strange feeling that calmed the cultivator's mind.

"Wang."

Iron Egg nodded repeatedly. In its view, the power of the Crimson Nirvana Fire lay not in its ability to burn the heavens and boil the seas, but in its ability to evolve into myriad fires and acquire the unique characteristics of different fires.

The Soul-Stabilizing Fire is just the beginning.

The Dissociative Azure Flame, the Bright Dissociative Mixed Flame, the Azure Phosphorous Karmic Flame, the Azure Heart Flame, and the Sea Void Flame are all extraordinary flames with powerful abilities and unique characteristics.

Especially Hai Xu Huo, which ranks the highest.

The Sea Fiery resembles water in form but is fire in substance. It exists between emptiness and fullness, and is a special kind of fire that arises from the extreme of water.

This fire can subdue all waters under heaven, and can burn water into vapor and boil the sea into nothingness.

Ordinary water formations, true water essence, and water-related magical treasures are like toys in his presence.

Unfortunately, the Sea Void Fire is far more troublesome than the Dissolving Azure Fire, and Iron Egg is not confident in devouring and refining it for the time being, otherwise it would definitely refine this strange fire immediately.

"Get used to it, practice it a few more times when you have time, and it would be best if you could cast Crimson Nirvana Fire instantly."

Chen Beiwu rubbed Tie Dan's head gently.

Only through profound understanding and rigorous refinement can a qualitative change occur.

Once the Three Realms Beast Fires he acquired from Wanbaohui arrive, Tiedan will surely be able to use the Crimson Nirvana Fire as a base to forge the Great Heavenly Purity Prison Image (Ten Tribulations).

With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu's storage ring flashed with light as he took out the sealing jade bottle containing the Yan Yang Liquid, preparing to go into seclusion for cultivation.

But before he went into seclusion, he had some things to take care of in order to avoid any mistakes.

……

Southern Wilderness, the Land of Derivation.

Mirror Moon Sect, Taiyi Hall.

"Disciple Chen Zi'ang greets Ancestor." Chen Beiwu bowed in accordance with the sect's rules.

"Your aura is deep and composed, and your inner radiance is profound. It seems you have gained a lot from this seclusion."

Zhu Wuyai's gaze fell on Chen Beiwu, a barely perceptible hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Although the Mirror Moon Sect possesses a Primordial Dao Artifact as its foundation, if it wants to restore some of its former glory and return to the ranks of Nascent Soul sects, it needs at least one Nascent Soul True Venerable to oversee it on the surface.

However, it is extremely difficult to become a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage, which can determine the rise and fall of a sect for generations, especially now that the world in the Earthly Realm has undergone great changes and the Dao of Creation is incomplete.

Putting the present aside and only talking about the future, in Zhu Wuyai's mind, there are only two people in the sect who have the potential to become True Venerables.

First, there's Zhu Wuyai himself.

Second was Chen Zi'ang, a disciple of the Daoist sect.

"What brings you to see me? Is it a question about your cultivation, or does the Beast Taming lineage require more sect resources?" Zhu Wuyai asked kindly.

Chen Beiwu shook his head and said bluntly, "This disciple wishes to resign and leave the mountain to travel outside the sect. I humbly request the Ancestor's permission."

"Travel outside the sect?" Zhu Wuyai's eyes narrowed as he looked at Chen Beiwu, his expression quite surprised.

Among all the geniuses of the sects, the cultivator he had the highest hopes for was Chen Zi'ang, but the cultivator he was also the one he was most worried about was also Chen Zi'ang.

The reason is simple: after the battle at Kouzong, Chen Zi'ang, the Daoist of Jingyue, has become famous throughout the entire Diyan Realm, and even has a slight reputation in the Nanyan Realm, but it has been forcibly suppressed by the Bahuang Sect.

However, many Nascent Soul True Monarchs had already set their sights on Chen Zi'ang in secret, and even offered high bounties in some black markets for cultivators.

In this situation, even without using his brain, Zhu Wuyai could guess that these bounties either came from the Eight Desolations Sect, the four major sects of the Earth Evolution Realm, or some Nascent Soul immortals hiding in the shadows, who wanted to break through to the Divine Transformation True Venerable Realm.

If Chen Zi'ang stays in the sect and cultivates in seclusion, that's fine. But if he leaves the sect to travel, he might face a life-or-death crisis.

"Do you know your current predicament?" Zhu Wuyai asked in a deep voice.

"This disciple understands." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly: "The title of Daoist Jingyue is both an honor and a burden."

“That’s right. If it were just the four major sects paying attention, it would be fine. The problem is that you have already been targeted by Ning Xuanji.” Zhu Wuyai said in a heavy tone, “A True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage can glimpse the secrets of heaven and lock in cause and effect. The power of Xuan Tong far exceeds your imagination, Daozi.”

The ancestor didn't say everything, but Chen Beiwu already understood the general meaning.

Once he leaves the sect's protection and travels outside the sect, he may at any time suffer a thunderous blow from a Nascent Soul True Venerable of the Eight Desolations Sect, and perish.

“It’s too dangerous to travel outside the sect now. Why don’t you go into seclusion and cultivate for a while longer?” Zhu Wuyai suggested.

Chen Beiwu remained expressionless.

Without a doubt, this is the safest advice.

However, he will not be able to break through in the sect in the future when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage; he will need to break through in the Immortal Alliance.

If he hadn't used traveling as an excuse, Chen Beiwu wouldn't have been able to explain why no unusual phenomena occurred when he broke through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.

As for the causal lock of the Nascent Soul True Venerable, Chen Beiwu was not afraid. The Primordial Golden Core he forged ignored the causal lock and deduction. He was only afraid that the origin of his three souls and seven spirits would be locked in advance by the immortal cultivator.

If Chen Beiwu is careful after leaving the sect, it will be difficult for Ning Xuanji to find his whereabouts through causal deduction.

Moreover, his travels outside the sect were just a pretext; his real place of seclusion was actually the Immortal Alliance's Shuiyan Residence.

No matter how strong Ning Xuanji is, he cannot cross the distance between the two realms to catch up with the Jade Purity Immortal Sect of the Immortal Alliance.

“What the Ancestor said is absolutely right. I am deeply grateful. However, the path of cultivation lies in courage and diligence. If I shrink back because there are dangers ahead, my heart will easily be clouded, which will be detrimental to my future cultivation.”

Chen Beiwu raised his head, looked directly into the ancestor's eyes, his gaze showing no fear, and continued, "In addition, the Primordial Golden Core that I have forged can obscure the secrets of cause and effect. If I am focused on hiding and concealing my aura, I may not be able to expose my whereabouts."

Zhu Wuyai fell silent.

Jade is not cut, not a device.

If Chen Zi'ang continues to stay within the sect and loses his spirit, it will indeed be difficult for him to attain the Nascent Soul True Monarch or even the Divine Transformation True Venerable in the future.

"Fine, you'll have to walk your own path in the end."

Zhu Wuyai sighed softly, his gaze towards Chen Beiwu filled with a mixture of worry and relief.

Those who can forge the Primordial Golden Elixir are indeed extraordinary.

If an ordinary cultivator knew that he had been targeted by a Nascent Soul True Venerable, he would probably be terrified and trembling, hiding within his sect.

Daozi's reaction was completely different. Knowing that he was being targeted by the True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage, he felt no fear whatsoever and instead wanted to face the challenge head-on.

With such ambition, if Chen Zi'ang were to live, his achievements would far surpass his, and his path to immortality would be limitless.

However, Daozi also has an undeniable flaw: he is too young and has no idea what kind of power the immortal cultivators possess!
"A Golden Core is ultimately just a Golden Core. It might be able to deceive a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but how could it possibly deceive a Divine Transformation True Venerable?" Zhu Wuyai slowly shook his head, feeling that Chen Ziang was too naive.

Even though the Primordial Golden Elixir has some effect in concealing the causal energy, it cannot escape the discerning eyes of the Transformation God True Venerable.

"call out!"

Just then, a streak of light flashed out from Zhu Wuyai's sleeve and slowly landed in front of Chen Beiwu.

"Ancestor, what is this?"

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the mysterious talisman that floated in the air, neither paper nor silk.

"This item is called the Heaven-Escape Talisman, a mid-grade fifth-order Yuan Talisman. When a cultivator carries this talisman, it is like water merging into the sea, completely concealing their own causal threads. Even a Nascent Soul True Venerable who deduces heavenly secrets cannot locate it."

"In addition, when the holder of the Heavenly Escape Talisman faces a fatal crisis, or when the three souls and seven spirits are at risk of collapse, this talisman will automatically activate, performing an ultra-long-distance teleportation that ignores spatial barriers, and teleporting to the location of the locked anchor point, namely the Taiyi Hall of the sect," Zhu Wuyai explained.

Although the Taiyi Dao Sect split into five major factions, it still possesses considerable internal strength, such as the Duntian Talisman.
