Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 373 Taiyuan Heavenly Realm
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister," Chen Beiwu said softly.

Everyone has his own ambitions.

Although Chen Beiwu didn't understand why Sister Qin had a mental lapse and suddenly chose to join the army to conquer the outer realms, he respected her decision and wouldn't say anything more, let alone risk entering the Cangyuan Realm.

For him, the most urgent task at present is to break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, not anything else.

"Junior brother, we are fellow disciples, there's no need for such formalities." Su Muyu said with a gentle smile, "By the way, Yuqing City is about to hold the once-in-a-century Beast Appraisal Conference."

This beast appraisal event is unprecedented in scale, featuring not only exotic beasts and birds, but also powerful earthly beasts and even fourth-tier mystical beast cubs.

"I have a few invitations to the conference here. Would you be interested in participating, junior brother?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister." Chen Beiwu readily agreed.

For cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, the Jade Purity Beast Appraisal Conference is undoubtedly a grand event.

Although Chen Beiwu currently has no plans to contract another beast, he doesn't mind going to the Beast Appraisal Conference to take a look.

At that time, he might be able to use the power of the Nine Breaths Breathing Divine Ability to pick up a few bargains and make a fortune in spiritual energy.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Beiwu's mind stirred, and his Taoist robe suddenly appeared brand new. He then got up and prepared to go out to visit his master.

Confidence is not arrogance.

Although Chen Beiwu believed that he was almost certain to break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm in the future, he did not harbor any contempt for him.

On the contrary, in order to avoid any unexpected events in his advancement to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, he had already sorted out all the doubts about Nascent Soul formation in his mind and wanted to seek his master's answers.

……

Yuqing Immortal Sect is one of the Thirty-Six Lesser Grotto-Heavens.

Deep within the Azure Sea Cave.

An old Taoist priest in a green robe sat cross-legged in the center of the Gathering Dragon Essence Pool. His body showed no fluctuations of magical power, yet he was completely integrated with the entire cave.

"interesting."

Suddenly, the Venerable Dongming Changqing smiled slightly and casually flicked his sleeve.

"Buzz!"

Outside the cave, Chen Beiwu felt the surrounding scenery suddenly change, and he found himself standing on the vast ocean.

"I've met Master."

Chen Beiwu reacted quickly and bowed immediately.

"The Immortal Sect Exchange Meeting was well done; it brought me a lot of prestige."

True Venerable Changqing nodded slightly, his tone calm, and he did not hold back his praise.

"It's all thanks to Master's daily teachings; I dare not take credit," Chen Beiwu said humbly.

The Venerable Changqing stroked his beard and smiled, not exposing Chen Beiwu's flattery, but knowingly asking, "Disciple, what brings you here today?"

"I have come here without permission to resolve your doubts."

Chen Beiwu looked up and said solemnly, "This disciple wishes to attempt to enter the Nascent Soul stage, and hopes that Master will guide me through this difficult time."

Changqing Zhenzun's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine, and the primordial true qi within his body spontaneously accelerated its circulation, bursting forth with a dazzling purple-gold radiance.

After a long while, the scrutinizing feeling, as if it were divine decree, subsided, and Chen Beiwu felt a sense of lightness.

"Those who are pure Yang follow the example of Heaven and Earth. Their Yang spirit travels to the North Sea in the morning and to Cangwu in the evening, exhaling and inhaling to transform into the innate Heavenly Gang Purple Qi. However, there are also differences in the level of pure Yang Nascent Souls."

"I have a supreme method here, called the Secret Record of the Opening of the Purple Mansion and Transformation of Infant."

True Venerable Changqing smiled calmly: "This method uses the Yang Spirit as a guide and the Purple Mansion as a cauldron. When the essence and life are intertwined, one can achieve a superior pure Yang Nascent Soul, but the cultivation difficulty is extremely harsh."

"It requires a Golden Core cultivator to forge a Golden Core of honor, possess a divine sense comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, comprehend the Heavenly Mandate of Heaven, and condense the Heavenly Dipper Dharma Form."

At this point, True Venerable Changqing paused slightly, then said with great interest, "Among the Three Pure Ones' prodigies, only one in ten thousand can master this method. Would you like to learn it?"

"Disciple is willing."

Chen Beiwu nodded without hesitation.

For him, these four conditions were not demanding, and he had already met the first two conditions.

He has a way to solve the remaining two conditions.

"very good."

With a flick of his sleeve, the Evergreen True Venerable summoned a jade slip that instantly floated in front of Chen Beiwu.

'The spirit returns to the Purple Palace, the cauldron is initially settled.'

'The elixir fire arises spontaneously, and yin and yang communicate with the divine.'

'The spirit and vital energy merge, the inner world is in a state of chaos.'

"The heavens were opened by God; my destiny is in my own hands."

Chen Beiwu merely glanced at it with his divine sense, without even examining it closely, yet he keenly sensed that this Nascent Soul Formation method shared the same origin as the Primordial Cave True Azure Flower Controlling Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits Immortal Method he cultivated, and could be practiced simultaneously.

"Thank you, Master, for the Dharma."

Chen Beiwu quickly accepted the jade slip and bowed respectfully.

"Are there any other doubts?" asked True Venerable Changqing.

A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, resolves doubts, and teaches according to individual aptitude.

Each disciple has different talents and foundations, and their future achievements will also differ; this cannot be forced.

For example, the "Secret Record of the Opening of the Purple Mansion and the Transformation of the Infant" has an ancient origin, with its lineage traceable back to the Three Pure Ones Immortal Sect. To this day, none of the disciples of the Evergreen True Venerable have been able to successfully cultivate it.

However, Chen Beiwu is his most talented and exceptionally gifted disciple, so he has a good chance of mastering this technique.

Even if Chen Beiwu ultimately fails in his cultivation, he can still gain a lot of insights from the "Secret Record of the Opening of the Purple Mansion and the Transformation of the Nascent Soul" and forge a decent Pure Yang Nascent Soul.

"This disciple has no more doubts."

Chen Beiwu left Qingming Cave Heaven looking radiant.

Watching Chen Beiwu's departing figure, Changqing Zhenzun slowly closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Very few of his disciples were able to achieve the status of a True Venerable of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Yue Chenfeng is one, and Chen Beiwu is another.

However, compared to Chen Beiwu, Yue Chenfeng ultimately lost some of his spirit and did not choose "The Secret Record of the Purple Mansion Opening Heaven and Transforming Infant" but instead chose the inferior "Jade Purity Pure Yang Dao Embryo Method".

……

Back at Shuiyan Residence, Chen Beiwu took out the "Secret Record of the Purple Mansion Opening Heaven and Transforming Infant" to study.

This method is obscure and difficult to cultivate, and it has four levels.

Upon first glimpsing the path, those who enter the gate can ignite the nascent wisdom of the Yang spirit, witness the extraordinary phenomenon of the Purple Palace shining brightly, and greatly increase their comprehension.

At the initial stage of Yin and Yang harmony, those who have achieved minor success can elucidate the wonders of pure Yang and pure Yin creation, and obtain the extraordinary phenomena of the sun and moon in the Purple Palace. The sun phenomenon can refine the spirit, and the moon phenomenon can nourish the Qi.

In the initial stage of chaos, those who achieve great success can recreate the scene before the chaos was created in their Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, obtain the extraordinary phenomenon of the Chaos Dao Embryo, and have their Purple Mansion Yang God contain the power of the Pure Yang Nascent Soul, thus becoming a unique pivot of chaos.

With divine intervention, those who achieve perfection can reopen the Purple Mansion Heaven and Earth using the Chaos Pivot, forging a superior pure Yang Nascent Soul, obtaining extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth, and suppressing 30% of the strength of cultivators of the same realm with a single thought.

The more Chen Beiwu studied this method, the more he realized how extraordinary it was, completely different from the Nascent Soul Formation Secret Method recorded on the Immortal Alliance's official website.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Chen Beiwu's phone vibrated, and a message popped up.

The Dharma Realm will open at 8:00 AM on September 15th, six months from now.

【Please, Master Chen Beiwu, prepare well and do not miss the opportunity.】

Chen Beiwu glanced at the sender's name and confirmed that it was from the Yuqing Immortal Religion Department.

'My cultivation was insufficient before, and I missed the opening of the Dharma Realm. I can't miss it again this time,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

The number of places in the Dharma Realm is limited and extremely precious. Only those who have reached the Golden Core stage can enter the Dharma Realm to comprehend the Heavenly Gang Dao Traces left behind by the great immortal cultivators of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect throughout the ages, and attempt to grasp the power of the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image in advance, thereby reducing the difficulty of attaining the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The only thing that dissatisfied Chen Beiwu was that he still had to wait a full six months.

Soon, another day had passed.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, put away the jade slip in front of him, and could not hide his regret.

Master's words are true. To cultivate the "Secret Record of Opening Heaven and Transforming Infant in the Purple Mansion", four conditions must be met.

Even with his extraordinary comprehension and the assistance of the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon, he still couldn't overcome these rigid conditions and successfully master the Nascent Soul Formation Secret Technique.

"It seems I still have to make a trip to the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm."

Chen Beiwu took out his phone and opened the application interface for Taiyuan Heaven.

Since he had already passed the review last time, he did not need to apply again this time and could go directly to the application site.

……

Taiyuan Heavenly Realm ranks among the top three of the thirty-six minor grotto-heavens of Yuqing Immortal Sect. It contains many stone tablets containing the true meaning of landscapes left by the giants of the immortal sect, for the younger generation of immortal geniuses to understand and learn from.

Chen Beiwu rode the golden egg and flew straight into the sea of ​​clouds in the Yuqing Mountains, following the guidance of the mobile phone map.

Not long after, a magnificent white jade gate came into Chen Beiwu's view atop the sea of ​​clouds.

This gate is about a thousand feet tall and has a majestic presence. It is inscribed with three mysterious and obscure ancient characters: "Taiyuan Tian".

Contrary to Chen Beiwu's expectations, there was only one cultivator guarding the gate of the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm, and he was an unkempt, unremarkable Foundation Establishment elder.

"Who is coming?"

The old man looked at Chen Beiwu with a cold gaze.

"Qingming Cave Heaven, Chen Beiwu."

Chen Beiwu announced his lineage and presented his identification.

"You're Chen Beiwu?"

After reading the jade slip, Han Zhongli slightly raised his eyes, his surprise barely concealed.

Within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Chen Beiwu's name was widely known.

Even an old man like him, who was oblivious to outside affairs and had retired peacefully, could hear about Chen Beiwu's many achievements.

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his expression subtly showing respect.

The aura emanating from him indicates he is at the Foundation Establishment stage, but this does not mean the old man before him is truly a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

On the contrary, Chen Beiwu could vaguely sense an indescribable sense of crisis emanating from the old man.

Without a doubt, this is a powerful cultivator who likes to play dumb to outsmart others. His cultivation level is definitely above that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and he may even be a Divine Transformation True Venerable.

"There are fifty-four supreme landscape steles in the Taiyuan Heaven Realm. You can try to comprehend the thirty-third landscape stele."

Han Zhongli gave a prompt, activated his magic power, and opened the Taiyuan Heavenly Gate.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine. He bowed slightly to Han Zhongli to express his gratitude, and then stepped into the spatial portal.

"It's rare to encounter such a fine Jade Purity prodigy. I hope he won't be bothered by the rankings," Han Zhongli murmured.

He guarded the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm for many years and witnessed countless extraordinary talents.

It is no exaggeration to say that among all the outstanding talents he has ever seen, Chen Beiwu is at least in the top three.

But the more gifted a prodigy is, the more confident and arrogant they become, and the more they like to pursue the so-called strongest.

This is human nature, but it can also lead to poor judgment.

It should be noted that every stone tablet in the Taiyuan Heaven Realm that was rated as an unparalleled scenic spot by the higher-ups of the Yuqing Immortal Sect was left behind by a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul True Venerable level or above.

The true meaning of the landscape contained within it all points directly to the origin of the Great Dao, which is enough to greatly benefit cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage and help them advance their cultivation.

However, geniuses are often stubborn. Some exceptional geniuses would rather comprehend the highest-ranked landscape map than take a step back and find their own true path. Isn't this also a kind of going astray?

……

On the other side, in the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm.

A boundless inspiration, a vast expanse of space.

The fifty-four giant steles, like ancient mountains, stand majestically in the center of the entire cave, exuding a completely different Daoist charm and pressure, causing the Yuqing cultivators who come and go to look up in awe.

Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense and discovered that the number of landscape monuments within the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm was far greater than this.

Hundreds of smaller landscape steles are scattered around the fifty-four giant steles, exuding the pure essence of the landscape.

"Na!"

Sensing the vast energy of this world, the Five Qi Vine instantly perked up.

'Sneaking around is not allowed within the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm.'

Chen Beiwu reached out and poked Wu Qiteng's cheek with his finger.

"Na."

The Five Qi Vine's joy turned to sorrow in an instant.

It doesn't need much; just one use of the Five Qi Stealing Heaven Hand is enough to obtain the stone that carries a rich Daoist aura.

If this stone were used for farming, it could definitely produce high-quality fourth-tier mystic medicine.

Upon realizing Wu Qi Teng's intentions, Chen Beiwu's lips twitched.

The little guy is really fearless.

Within the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm, damaging a scenic monument is an unforgivable crime.

Golden Egg licked its lips, suppressing its inner impulse.

It wasn't just the Five Qi Vine that had the idea of ​​stealing the stones; it also had the urge to use the Three-Phase Furnace to devour all the landscape monuments while it was here.

Golden Egg knew the consequences of doing so and dared not act recklessly.

"Wang."

Of the three little guys, Tie Dan was the most responsible, keeping his eyes fixed on Jin Dan and Wu Qi Teng, indicating that he would not let them commit crimes.

"Master Chen, is this your first time entering the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm?" A burly cultivator walked over and greeted him.

Chen Beiwu nodded in greeting and turned to walk towards the giant monument.

Although he didn't know the deeper meaning behind the old man's words, it didn't stop Chen Beiwu from searching for the Supreme Landscape Stele, which ranked thirty-third.

As Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared into the distance, the burly cultivator's expression gradually turned cold.

"Luo Zheng, didn't you say you knew Chen Beiwu?" another lean cultivator asked curiously.

"None of your business, Xu Xiu," Luo Zheng sneered.

"What a pity, I thought we could get to know each other." Xu Xiu shrugged.

"What's there to regret? He's just an unsociable cultivation genius," Luo Zheng said coldly.

He attended one of Chen Beiwu's classes when Chen Beiwu was teaching, and they met once. He never expected that the other party would be so arrogant in private.

"To be able to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator with only Golden Core cultivation, such a prodigy is no longer just a genius, but a powerful figure whom we should all respect," Xu Xiu reminded him.

"Even the strongest Golden Core cultivator is still just a Golden Core cultivator. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm is no easy feat." Luo Zheng sneered and belittled, "There are many geniuses in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect who were once prominent but eventually became mediocre. Who knows if Chen Beiwu will be the next one?"

Xu Xiu didn't dare to respond to that.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Chen Beiwu will most likely take on the position of chief disciple of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect in this generation.

Luo Zheng is a second-generation cultivator with a powerful background, so it doesn't matter to him mocking Chen Beiwu a few times.

But he wasn't like that; only a madman would mock Chen Beiwu for no reason just to save face.

"Just wait and see. It won't be that easy for Chen Beiwu, a guy from a poor family, to establish his own faction in Yuqing," Luo Zheng sneered.
