Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 369 Blood Corpse True Monarch

Beast Control Palace.

Chen Beiwu, dressed in a blue robe, sat in the main seat, while Shu You stood cautiously beside him, brewing tea and giving reports.

"My lord, the Beast Taming lineage currently has 2,372 disciples, of which 2,339 are Qi Refining disciples, most of whom serve in the outer sect or manage the Beast Garden."

"There are thirty-one Foundation Establishment disciples, all of whom are elites of the inner sect. Most of them have successfully comprehended the 'Sympathetic Understanding and Co-existence Treatise,' and ten of them have already formed a co-existence contract with Foundation Establishment stage spirit beasts."

"There are currently only two Golden Core cultivators: Yun Cang, the Golden Core Elder and Deputy Hall Master of the Xuanji Hall, and Zhu Qiong, the Crimson Prison Fairy, who holds both positions concurrently."

At this point, Shu You paused slightly, then continued, "In addition, there are currently 123 alchemists in the lineage, nine of whom are at least level two; and 85 weapon refiners, among whom are at least level two..."

"To ensure a stable supply of enough spirit beasts for cultivation, the sect currently operates three large-scale beast farms, located at Cloud Mound Peak, Thousand Sparrow Mountain, and Hundred Beast Ridge. Furthermore, it has signed spiritual contracts with thirty-three affiliated cultivation families in the areas where these farms are situated, guaranteeing them at least thirty-three spirit beast cubs every ten years, and sometimes more..."

After finishing her report, Shu Youmei slightly raised her eyes to carefully observe Chen Beiwu's reaction.

For the sake of the development of the Beast Taming lineage, she has been working diligently during this period, getting up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog, even neglecting her own cultivation.

Chen Beiwu closed his eyes slightly, multitasking, with part of his mind already sinking into the chaotic world.

Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Within the chaotic world, the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon roared to the sky, uttering dragon roars that only Chen Beiwu could hear.

The next second, the purple aura that was originally flowing on Tianyun Zilong suddenly gave way to countless strands of aura light mixed with white, green, blue, orange and red.

These auras, like rivers flowing into the sea, continuously merged into the body of the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon, making its form more solid and slender, and even the vast purple aura surrounding it became increasingly dense.

Clearly, this aura of fortune did not arise out of thin air, but rather came from the 2,372 disciples of the Beast Taming lineage.

As long as the Beast Taming lineage survives, Chen Beiwu's already incredibly powerful Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon rank will be constantly nourished by the fortune of thousands of disciples.

However, the power of the Beast Taming lineage was still too weak, and the speed at which the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon was nourished was extremely slow, even slower than the fortune that increased when Chen Beiwu defeated Wang Chan, the chief of Taiqing, and the Three Immortals of Shangqing, thus helping the Jade Purity Immortal Sect win the championship.

This is normal, though, since the fortune Chen Beiwu gained from defeating the peerless genius is a one-time thing.

The blessing of the Beast Taming lineage is like a flowing stream, continuously enhancing and amplifying the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon's fortune.

"Not bad, you've managed the Beast Taming lineage very well."

Having confirmed the change in fortune, Chen Beiwu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shu You with great interest.

At this moment, the aura above Shu You's head was not only gloomy, but also seemed to be covered by dark clouds.

It should be understood that if an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator were to be afflicted by even a trace of misfortune, they would likely suffer from inner demons and constant tribulations within a month, and be plotted against by villains, ultimately dying suddenly.

Instead of being crushed by misfortune, Shu You has now cultivated smoothly to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This was the first time Chen Beiwu had ever seen such a tenacious cultivator who could defy fate.

In a sense, this can be considered a special prodigy worth nurturing.

"This is my duty as a servant."

Hearing Chen Beiwu's affirmation, Shu You felt reassured.

"How well are you comprehending the Golden Core Technique I gave you? What are your chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage now?"

Looking at Shu You's pretty face, Chen Beiwu casually asked a question while seizing the aura of calamity.

"Four percent."

Shu You was overjoyed and immediately realized what was going on.

"Have you been secretly practicing the 'Mysterious Heavenly Mandate and Qi Absorption Longevity Secret Record' lately?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"I've tried cultivating it about ten times," Shu You said truthfully, without lying.

"That cultivation method is too incomplete and incompatible with your physique. It's best to stop practicing it for a while."

"This servant understands. From now on, this servant will never practice this method again," Shu You replied immediately.

"There's no need to go to such extremes. Just reduce the time spent practicing the Longevity Manual and don't leave the sect unless necessary."

Chen Beiwu waved his hand, saying that without Shu You, a cultivation prodigy, where would he find so much calamity and tribulation energy?

Chen Beiwu immediately flicked his sleeve, and an exquisite jade bottle landed on the table: "This is the Golden Palace Pill I promised earlier, please accept it."

Looking at the jade bottle in front of her, Shu You's breath hitched, and she quickly bowed, her eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

Surrendering to her lord was definitely the best decision she ever made in her life!
Seeing Shu You's eyes brimming with tears, Chen Beiwu was not surprised at all.

The Golden Elixir is priceless, so it's normal for Shu You to be so moved.

But people's hearts are fickle.

Shu You's current loyalty does not guarantee her future loyalty, especially after she gains too much power.

But it doesn't matter. Chen Beiwu didn't expect Shu Youhui to be loyal forever by spending a fortune to buy Shu Youhui's loyalty. Instead, he significantly increased the cost of betrayal for the latter within the sect's rules.

After he gives away this Golden Palace Pill, as long as the Beast Taming lineage remains intact, it is virtually impossible for Shu You to change sects unless he is willing to defect from the sect.

"I need to travel outside the sect for a while in order to break through my current level. I'm entrusting the Beast Taming lineage to you."

Chen Beiwu stood up and said succinctly.

"This servant understands," Shu Yougong replied respectfully.

……

Mirror Moon Sect, Star Turning Hall.

A plain-looking young man in a yellow robe stepped into the hall and joined the crowd in line.

This person was none other than Chen Beiwu after his transformation.

To conceal his tracks, Chen Beiwu used the Jade Purity Secret Technique to alter his appearance and physique, and also used the Breath Concealment Technique to hide his aura.

Therefore, in the eyes of the surrounding Mirror Moon disciples, Chen Beiwu is now just an ordinary-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Please show your identity jade token."

The cultivator guarding the teleportation array was a gaunt-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator who spoke in a businesslike tone.

Chen Beiwu didn't speak, and casually took out an identity jade token.

'Mo Qingshuang, an inner disciple of the Beast Taming lineage.'

The old cultivator glanced at the identity jade token, and after confirming that it was correct, he did not ask any further questions. He waved his hand and reminded the cultivator, "Stand on the Star-Turning Platform and do not wander around."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu stepped directly onto the teleportation array, where he found himself next to a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Buzz!"

With a flash of silver light, all the cultivators on the Star-Turning Platform vanished.

On the other side, at the Biyuanfang Market, there is a branch hall for the Zhuanxing Temple.

The Star-Turning Platform shone brightly, and a group of cultivators appeared instantly.

Chen Beiwu had no intention of lingering. He randomly chose a direction and urged his escape light to continue his journey.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly, keenly sensing that something was amiss.

At first it might have just been a coincidence, but the fact that Chen Beiwu changed his route multiple times and the cultivators behind him still followed closely indicated that someone within the sect was watching him.

'Interesting. Is this fake Infant cultivator a protector sent by the Ancestor, or does he harbor ill intentions?'

Chen Beiwu couldn't be sure, but that didn't stop him from setting a trap and getting to the bottom of things. He activated his escape light and sped along, deliberately changing direction to avoid main roads and instead choosing secluded, narrow mountain paths to navigate.

'Where did they go? How did they suddenly disappear?'

After crossing a solitary peak, Xiang Yuanbai discovered that the tracking device in his hand had lost its connection. His expression changed drastically, and he cautiously probed his surroundings with his divine sense.

It shouldn’t be!

With his feigned infant consciousness, combined with the tracking tool, he could silently track even a Nascent Soul stage True Monarch.

How exactly did Chen Zi'ang, a mere Golden Core cultivator, manage to see through his trail?
"What are you looking for? Are you looking for me?"

Upon hearing the words that suddenly rang in his ears, Xiang Yuanbai was shocked and his hair stood on end.

Without time to think, relying on the instincts honed through countless life-and-death battles, he unleashed the true Qi of his nascent soul, retreating rapidly backward while simultaneously summoning a defensive magic weapon in each hand.

Immediately, Xiang Yuanbai saw Chen Beiwu standing in mid-air, calmly looking at him instead of seizing the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"Looks like I guessed right." Chen Beiwu looked at the other party's tense expression and asked with interest, "Who sent you here to die?"

"Trying to die? How arrogant! A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to spout such nonsense." Xiang Yuanbai steadied himself, his tone icy.

"Whether someone is arrogant or not depends on their strength." Chen Beiwu's divine sense stirred slightly, but he was unable to discern the other party's true appearance and magical power.

Clearly, to avoid revealing his identity, this mysterious fake infant cultivator had already made multiple preparations to prevent implicating the mastermind behind him.

At the same time, Xiang Yuanbai's pupils shrank as he sensed a terrifying fluctuation of divine consciousness enveloping the world.

Damn it, it's the True Lord's divine consciousness!

To possess terrifying divine sense at the level of a Nascent Soul True Monarch during the Golden Core stage is an exaggeration, even for Daoist Jingyue.

No wonder I was spotted!

Xiang Yuanbai felt a chill in his heart, but he was not afraid at all, and even felt a little happy.

If Chen Ziang is determined to escape, he really has no way to deal with him.

However, the other party was arrogant and not only did not run away, but also tried to fight him head-on, which undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to complete his mission.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yuanbai, to be on the safe side, did not make a move directly, but slowly said, "Struggling is useless, this is your burial ground."

“There are only a handful of high-ranking members in the sect who can control fake Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if you don’t tell me, I can find the mastermind behind it all,” Chen Beiwu said deliberately.

Although he didn't know why the higher-ups of the Mirror Moon Sect would attack him for no reason, it didn't matter; those who kill will be killed in return.

All he needs to do is find and kill the mastermind behind it all; after all, the mastermind can't be the Mirror Moon Ancestor.

After all, no fool would give a fifth-tier Yuan Talisman for protection to their pre-hunted target.

Moreover, if the patriarch wanted to kill him, he could do so at any time; there was no need for him to create unnecessary trouble.

"Haha, Daozi, you are exceptionally talented. It would indeed be difficult for me to defeat you on my own. But now that you know something you shouldn't know, then die here."

Xiang Yuanbai grinned maliciously, and without further hesitation, he crushed the talisman with his hand hidden under his sleeve.

"Crack!"

As the talisman shattered, a strange, crimson-black aura surged into the sky, completely enveloping the world and forming a constantly rotating, pitch-black vortex capable of swallowing all light.

The next instant, within the vortex, a vast pressure powerful enough to suffocate a Golden Core cultivator and make their soul tremble suddenly descend.

"Buzz!"

Space trembled, the vortex vanished, revealing the figure of a cultivator as thin as a bamboo pole.

His complexion was ruddy, his features were plain, he wore a black Taoist robe, a necklace of small skull beads around his neck, and a leather belt with a strange aura around his waist.

Such unique attire, such a strong demonic aura!

Without a doubt, the newcomer was a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Blood Fortune Sect, one of the three great demonic sects of the Western Realm.

Blood Corpse True Lord Yun Wuyou!

No, to be precise, Yun Wuyou should be the traitorous True Monarch that the Blood Fortune Sect is currently hunting.

"Elder Yun, thank you for your help."

Xiang Yuanbai bowed respectfully.

"Why would they take action here?" Yun Wuyou frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

Although this place is some distance from Biyuan Market, it is still within the sphere of influence of the Mirror Moon Sect. He did not want to be relentlessly hunted down by the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Mirror Moon Sect.

“Elder Yun, this villain is treacherous. To avoid our plan being exposed, I have no choice but to take this risk,” Xiang Yuanbai said in a low voice.

There is an insurmountable barrier between a fake infant cultivator and a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Moreover, the Blood Corpse True Monarch before them was renowned for his strange and ruthless Blood Luck Demon Art, and had countless lives on his hands. Even ordinary Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs would not easily offend him.

"Very well, this oversight was on your side, you must compensate me with 100,000 soul fragments and three fourth-tier Xuan Dan."

Yun Wuyou ignored Chen Beiwu's presence and began to raise the price.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanbai broke out in a cold sweat, but did not refute it.

The demonic cultivator's personality is unpredictable; he might break the alliance and kill someone at any time due to the slightest dissatisfaction. There's no need for him to refuse at this moment.

"Elder Yun, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let's capture Chen Zi'ang first," Xiang Yuanbai decisively changed the subject.

Yun Wuyou glanced at Xiang Yuanbai and saw through the latter's thoughts.

However, considering the orders of the Blood Demon True Venerable, he did not expose him and instead turned his gaze to Chen Beiwu.

"Boy, you're lucky to die by my hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Yun Wuyou's eyes, and he pointed out with a finger.

This seemingly slow movement is actually as fast as lightning.

Wherever the wind passed, blood rained down, causing the space to shatter under the strain, revealing dark cracks in the air.

But more terrifying than these was the crimson, ink-like bloodstain on Yun Wuyou's fingertips.

This streak of blood-red light flew out, frantically devouring all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around it, and could even forcibly stimulate Chen Beiwu's blood, spirit, and golden core.

At the same time, as the blood-red light traversed the space, an intensely nauseating stench of blood spread wildly, emanating a strange power capable of causing even a Golden Core cultivator to lose their composure and succumb to the illusion of blood rain.

"Roar!"

The golden egg soared into the sky, activating the Three Phases Imperishable Profound Power, and met the bloody light head-on.

Rumble!
The golden egg's surface shimmered with gold, cyan, and blue light, transforming into an unbreakable absolute domain that gradually crushed the approaching blood light.

"What a magnificent Golden Core Flood Dragon! It actually managed to block a single finger from me, the True Monarch." Yun Wuyou's eyes brightened slightly as he stared intently at the golden egg.

Although he had only struck casually, without using even a fraction of his strength, it was enough to easily crush a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of his cultivation, far beyond what a Golden Core demon beast could withstand.

This shows that this dragon has a special bloodline, and it is very likely that it has the bloodline of a high-level Nascent Soul Demon King, so its future potential is limitless.

“Young man, I am quite fond of your dragon. If you obediently break the contract and offer it up, I, the True Lord, may grant you a complete corpse. How about it?” Yun Wuyou said decisively.
