Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 376 Supreme Landscape
Immortal arts are inherently difficult to cultivate.

The same applies to the Three Pure Ones' Joint Practice of Immortal Arts, which places particular emphasis on comprehension.

This method does not emphasize construction but its meaning; it does not seek mastery but seek transcendence. It is completely different from the common landscape cultivation method of the Immortal Alliance, and only one in ten thousand can enter the door.

The reason is simple: the Three Pure Ones' Joint Practice of Immortal Cultivation is not about techniques, but about the Dao.

Such prodigies as Chen Beiwu, who, upon first encountering the Three Pure Ones' Symphony Immortal Technique, were able to forget nine-tenths of the technique and gain only a fraction of its true essence, are extremely rare.

Even though Yu Yuanlong had guarded the Scripture Transmission Pavilion for many years and had seen and learned a great deal, encountering countless geniuses, he couldn't help but praise him with a "good."

"Thank you for passing on the Dharma, senior."

Adhering to the principle that it's never wrong to be overly polite, Chen Beiwu gave a slight bow.

The powerful individuals who can guard such immortal techniques in the Scripture Transmission Pavilion are no ordinary people; their cultivation may have already reached the realm of returning to simplicity and truth.

As a junior, a seeker of the Dao still on the path of cultivation, he also knew how to be in awe.

"No need for thanks, this is simply my duty."

Yu Yuanlong shook his head slightly, unconvinced by Chen Beiwu's words.

He admired the younger generation, but he had no good feelings towards that old codger, Dongming Changqing Zhenzun.

Therefore, given his evil intentions, he didn't have much affection for Chen Beiwu either, but he wouldn't let the latter suffer collateral damage.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu said nothing more and turned to leave the Scripture Transmission Pavilion.

“Young man, you have good comprehension. You can try to comprehend the first Supreme Landscape Stele,” Yu Yuanlong suddenly said.

Chen Beiwu paused, turned around, and found that the old man had disappeared without a trace.

'The first unparalleled landscape monument?' Chen Beiwu's mind stirred slightly.

He had consulted some information beforehand, and the first-ranked of the fifty-four supreme landscape steles was the [Primordial Chaos and the Dao Supreme Landscape] stele.

It is said that this stele was left by the Primordial Daoist Master, and it contains the inconceivable true meaning of fellowship.

If a genius cultivator can fully comprehend it, they can attain the Dao and become a True Venerable, and in the future, they may become a Refining Void Dao Venerable.

However, this scenic monument is too profound and obscure, and no one among the most outstanding cultivators of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect throughout history has been able to decipher it.

'Fine, I might as well give it a try now.'

Chen Beiwu's mind raced, but he didn't hesitate too much.

He forged the Primordial Golden Elixir, and his purpose in entering the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm was to comprehend the [Supreme Landscape of the Primordial Chaos and the Dao] stele.

However, after receiving guidance from the old gatekeeper, Chen Beiwu became interested in seeing what secrets the landscape monument the old man had mentioned was hiding, and whether it was highly compatible with his own path of cultivation.

Chen Beiwu was quite disappointed.

It was a thrill, and it was a perfect match.

However, although his previous process of comprehending the [Peerless Landscape of Qiongqi Crossing the Other Shore] went smoothly and benefited him, the Golden Egg, and the Five Qi Vine greatly, his progress in forging the Heavenly End Scene was only average, far less efficient than Chen Beiwu's usual cultivation.

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, mounted the golden egg and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the location of the Supreme Landscape Monument.

Passing through one giant monument after another, a magnificent monument slowly came into Chen Beiwu's view.

'So many cultivators!' Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly.

The scene in front of the monument commemorating the primordial chaos and the supreme Dao was quite lively.

Not to mention the cultivators who were sitting on the three futons admiring the scenery and lost in their own world, there were more than ten outstanding cultivators standing just ten feet away from the futons.

These cultivators possessed powerful auras and were dressed in luxurious attire; they were all outstanding individuals who held considerable positions within their sects.

But they stood still and waited patiently, forming an orderly long queue.

Someone's coming!

Xu Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately spotted Chen Beiwu descending from the sky.

Unlike last time, this time he subtly activated his divine sense with a slight thought, wanting to see what Chen Beiwu was really like.

'Hiss, no wonder the sect's higher-ups praised him as a Nascent Soul cultivator!'

Xu Xiu's pupils contracted slightly, and she felt a chill run down her spine. She felt that Chen Beiwu's aura was profound and unfathomable, and she even had the illusion of facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch directly.

With the Golden Elixir as the foundation and the Divine Elixir fused together, the Purple Palace is opened, the spirit resides within the elixir, and the Nascent Soul is forged. Yin and Yang complement each other, this is the true lord cultivator.

Those who can reach this stage possess both magical power and vital energy that are imperishable and flawless, allowing their physical and spiritual bodies to be perfectly integrated, forming a self-sustaining cycle, and their lifespan to increase dramatically.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Beiwu, who was standing in front of him at this moment, was already a quasi-True Monarch cultivator who had come into contact with the Golden Core Yang God Transformation and could advance to the next level at any time.

'No, even if it offends Luo Zheng and his senior brother Xiao, we absolutely cannot offend Chen Beiwu. It's not too late to get out of that mess.'

Xu Xiu had already made up her mind, and quickly withdrew her divine sense to avoid Chen Beiwu noticing any trace of it.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and bowed as Chen Beiwu reached the end of the line, taking the initiative to greet him: "I am Xu Xiu, greetings to Senior Brother Chen."

"Ah."

Chen Beiwu nodded, looking at Xu Xiu with great interest.

interesting.

I had met this person once before. The aura he exuded seemed to be only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but in reality, his aura was perfected, condensed but not released. His cultivation had already reached the perfection of the Golden Core realm, and his divine sense was comparable to that of a True Monarch at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

These cultivators are by no means mediocre. Even within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, they would be considered top-tier geniuses. They are even slightly inferior to Mo Qingshuang at the same cultivation level. Only Yu Zhaohua can completely overwhelm them at the same level.

But why would such a prodigy deliberately conceal his cultivation level?
Chen Beiwu withdrew his gaze, having no intention of pursuing the matter further.

There are many cultivators in the sect who have secrets, and as long as he doesn't offend Chen Beiwu, he has no interest in prying into other people's secrets.

In any case, it made no difference to him whether Xu Xiuzang held back or not; he was just a cultivator who could be crushed in three moves. The only two things worth mentioning were his divine sense, which far surpassed that of cultivators of the same realm, and his luck, which was at the level of the Crimson Dragon.

“Senior Brother Chen, do you intend to study this stele? I happen to have some trivial matters to attend to. If you don’t mind, I can offer you this position.”

Xu Xiu was very proactive, speaking as she stepped aside to give herself a more forward position.

Upon hearing this, all the genius cultivators who had been resting with their eyes closed opened them, and all eyes turned to Chen Beiwu, who had become the focus of the entire scene.

No wonder.

Upon recognizing Chen Beiwu's identity, some of the discontented cultivators immediately regained their composure.

Among the prodigies of this generation of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, only seven disciples were able to be accepted as disciples and mentored by a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage. Chen Beiwu was one of them, and his status was no less than that of the direct descendants of a True Venerable clan.

In addition, what made the cultivators present even more wary was that, as the news of the Golden Core cultivator defeating the Nascent Soul cultivator at the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference spread more and more widely, Chen Beiwu now had the reputation of being the "Number One Golden Core Cultivator of Jade Purity" in the Immortal Alliance.

Some curious immortal sect students even called Chen Beiwu "Golden Core Unwavering," meaning that Chen Beiwu was exceptionally talented and possessed terrifying strength that was invincible at the Golden Core stage by the age of forty.

Many within the Upper Three Immortals Sect scoffed at this, but in recent years no one has dared to challenge Chen Beiwu, which shows how renowned he is.

They can understand, and even barely accept, such powerful individuals cutting in line.

"Thank you."

Chen Beiwu did not refuse and stepped forward to exchange places. Since Xu Xiu was so sensible, there was no need for him to pay too much attention to the other party's spiritual surveillance.

As for whether Xu Xiu had any problems, Chen Beiwu denied it.

Even he could see that Xu Xiu was hiding his cultivation level, let alone the powerful experts of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

'etc! '

Chen Beiwu suddenly realized what was happening.

Because of the absolute difference in strength, he could ignore Xu Xiu's concealment. Did the higher-ups of the sect also choose to ignore his secrets instead of being unable to investigate the existence of the Nine Breaths Chaos?

Chen Beiwu's gaze flashed, and he quickly suppressed the thought in his mind.

No, he is not like Xu Xiu.

The Nine Breaths Chaos, a supreme treasure related to destiny, is enough to tempt even beings at the Refining Void Dao Venerable level.

Honestly, if he were to discover an opportunity related to a Void Refining Dao Artifact, or even a legendary Boundless Immortal Artifact, in a junior, he would definitely take action to find out the truth.

Xu Xiu, unaware of Chen Beiwu's thoughts, quickly left.

For some reason, when he was in front of Chen Beiwu, he always felt like he was being seen through.

Chen Beiwu's eyes returned to calm, and his aura became even more profound.

……

The Primordial Chaos and the Supreme Dao Landscape Stele differs from other landscape steles in that it has extremely strict restrictions.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can observe for a maximum of seven days at a time.

A Golden Elixir Immortal can observe for a maximum of one month at a time.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch can observe for a maximum of six months at a time.

This rule was set by the higher-ups of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, and no one dares to disobey it.

The reason is simple: for those whose cultivation is insufficient, spending too much time observing the monument to the supreme landscape of the Primordial Chaos and the Dao is not only harmful but also makes their souls more susceptible to assimilation by the true meaning of the Primordial Chaos.

At this moment, Chen Beiwu stood in the queue waiting, his eyes slightly closed, silently comprehending the Three Pure Ones' Joint Observation Immortal Technique, and he was not in a hurry.

The three cultivators sitting on the futons all had solemn expressions, clearly having reached their limits. They would soon be able to sit down and begin their comprehension.

Sure enough, half a month later, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's body trembled violently, and he opened his tired eyes, revealing a pale face.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Primordial Chaos Dao-Merging Supreme Landscape Stele is too profound and consumes too much of their divine sense. It is more effective to observe ordinary landscape steles.

Most of the geniuses who are able to enter the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm are overconfident and will not know the harsh reality until they are tempered by the landscape monument.

'Another failure,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

Chen Beiwu had witnessed this situation several times in the past two weeks and was not surprised by it. Fortunately, today was finally his turn to comprehend it.

Under the watchful eyes of many curious people, Chen Beiwu calmly stepped forward, sat down, and closed his eyes to observe with his divine sense.

"Do you think he can succeed?" a Golden Core prodigy suddenly asked.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult." The people around shook their heads slightly.

The ability to forge the Primordial Golden Elixir and the ability to comprehend the Primordial Chaos and the Supreme Landscape Stele are two completely different concepts.

Chen Beiwu's cultivation level was only Golden Core. Even with his extraordinary talent and comprehension, being able to glimpse a trace of the true meaning hidden within the landscape monument was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

To achieve true enlightenment and comprehend one's own shared experience is no easy feat.

In the shadows, two formless and intangible divine senses communicated with each other.

"Senior Brother Yu, why bother? Only a True Immortal at the Nascent Soul stage can comprehend the supreme realm of primordial chaos and the Dao."

Han Zhongli's tone was quite helpless; in his eyes, being overly ambitious was no different from wasting time.

"Why not give it a try? If this kid doesn't witness the primordial chaos and the Dao in its entirety, how can he broaden his horizons, solidify his foundation, and forge his own supreme realm?" Yu Yuanlong chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Han Zhongli fell silent.

Creating an unparalleled landscape? What a joke!
When the magic is in your heart, the landscape will naturally unfold.

The foundation can be observed to reveal its form, and the initial scenery is bestowed by Heaven.
The Golden Elixir is observable, and the cultivation of Heaven bestows the intermediate realm;
The nascent soul can observe the mind, and the cultivation of heaven bestows the final vision;
The Divine Transformation Realm can observe me; through cultivation, Heaven bestows transformative visions, and I attain the initial state of the Great Dao.

Only the most outstanding among the True Venerables of the Divine Transformation stage have the opportunity to transcend their true selves, cultivate the supreme realm, unite with the Dao, and glimpse the hope of becoming a Dao Venerable who attains enlightenment and refines the void.

Chen Beiwu is just a junior Golden Core cultivator. Even if he can forge the Primordial Golden Core and cultivate to the Heavenly Ending Realm, it is already extraordinary.

To create such a magnificent landscape is something you can only dream of!
After all, that was a realm he had never entered; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up serving as the gatekeeper of Taiyuan Heaven.

'Senior Brother Yu, could it be that you're thinking about the Evergreen True Venerable back then...'

Han Zhongli spoke in a low voice, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yu Yuanlong's divine sense.

"Junior brother, in your eyes, is your senior brother such a petty person that he would even take his anger out on a junior?" Yu Yuanlong asked angrily.

Han Zhongli didn't say anything more. His senior brother was petty and he didn't want to be targeted by him.

"The primordial elixir, once formed, can encompass all laws, confirming the supreme Dao. While the magnificent spectacle of the Qiongqi ferrying across the other shore is impressive, how can it compare to the supreme spectacle of the primordial chaos merging with the Dao?"

Yu Yuanlong said with unwavering conviction, "Junior brother, think about it. If this kid can comprehend even a fraction of the supreme landscape of the Primordial Chaos and the Dao, and forge the Heavenly Mandate Final Landscape, his future will be limitless. He has the potential to forge a supreme landscape and become the next sect leader."

"I hope so." Han Zhongli chuckled lightly, having no intention of continuing the argument.

If we can't get through this now, how can we talk about the future?

Due to interference from the primordial chaos and the supreme landscape of Dao, Chen Beiwu's efficiency in comprehending the other shore and Qiongqi's struggle to cross the supreme landscape decreased by almost 40%, losing some of its purity.

Of course, in a sense, Senior Brother Yu's idea is not wrong.

If Chen Beiwu can successfully comprehend even one ten-thousandth of the supreme landscape of the Primordial Chaos and the Dao, and grasp a fraction of its true meaning, then forging the Heavenly End Landscape at the Golden Core stage is a certainty. It is even possible that he will forge a unique supreme landscape in the future.

Otherwise, the higher-ups of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect would not have allowed the sect's geniuses to comprehend the supreme landscape of the Primordial Chaos and the Dao.

Under the watchful eyes of many cultivators, Chen Beiwu remained calm and showed no unusual expression, as if it were just an ordinary cultivation session.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

In Chen Beiwu's mind perception, the giant monument in front of him brought a far greater sense of awe than the unparalleled landscape of Qiongqi fighting to cross the other shore that he had previously comprehended.

It even caused the primordial golden core within his dantian to emit a continuous buzzing sound, as if he had encountered some extraordinary opportunity.

Unfortunately, despite the restlessness of the Primordial Golden Elixir, it could not help Chen Beiwu fully enter a meditative state and merge his mind into the chaotic Primordial Dao-merging landscape, where he could only see patches of chaotic nothingness.

'One can only observe the form, not the essence, let alone the heart and mind, to achieve the divinely bestowed final vision.'

Chen Beiwu's mind focused slightly, realizing that comprehending landscapes was different from comprehending immortal techniques; this was not a problem that could be solved simply by comprehension.
