Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 377 Goodbye Purple Fox
January has passed in the blink of an eye and is drawing to a close.

Han Zhongli's consciousness stirred, and he looked at Chen Beiwu, whose eyes were slightly closed, and shook his head slightly.

Using the heart as a mirror to reflect the dual scenes, using the spirit as a brush to cultivate truth through beasts, creating the form of heaven and earth, and forging the ultimate scene of shared enlightenment—how difficult this is!
Throughout his long career as a goalkeeper, he witnessed countless brilliant talents fail and perish before the Chaos Primordial Dao-Merging Stele, achieving nothing.

However, this is normal. The path of cultivation through beasts is inherently difficult, and comprehending the world while controlling beasts is not something that can be accomplished in a day.

Without years of observation, verification, and understanding, many exceptional talents may not even be able to achieve the final stage of the Heavenly Gifted Realm, let alone the middle stage.

Of course, there are always a very few geniuses in this world who perfectly match the Supreme Landscape Monument.

These prodigies share a common trait: they can resonate with the supreme landscape stele upon their first viewing and contemplation of it, receiving its true meaning and saving other cultivators decades or even hundreds of years of arduous study and cultivation.

It is no exaggeration to say that once such a prodigy appears, it may even alarm the great masters of cultivation who left behind the supreme landscape monument for future generations to inherit and learn from, and they may take him as a disciple and regard him as the successor of the lineage.

Upon realizing this, Han Zhongli quickly withdrew his divine sense.

Since Chen Beiwu began his observation, the Wushang Landscape Stele has remained silent and unmoved.

This shows that Chen Beiwu's compatibility with the supreme landscape of the Primordial Chaos is not high enough. He needs time to slowly polish it and comprehend it little by little, and he may not even be able to gain any insight.

Having reached this conclusion, Han Zhongli sighed, but there was no disappointment in his eyes.

If the primordial chaos and the Dao cannot form the supreme spectacle, then there is still the other shore where Qiongqi and Qiongqi vie for the supreme spectacle.

Given Chen Beiwu's talent and foundation, it would not be difficult for him to spend decades or even centuries to forge the Heavenly Gifted Final Scene, and his future remains promising.

'It seems he has no affinity with the Primordial Chaos Dao-Merging Stele and is destined to inherit the Primordial Dao.'

With his divine sense descending, Yu Yuanlong closed his eyes to cultivate, no longer paying attention to Chen Beiwu's situation.

At the same time, as time passed, Chen Beiwu had a flash of inspiration and realized that simply using his divine sense to observe and capture the artistic conception on the Chaos Primordial Dao-Merging Stele was not very effective.

So he calmed his mind and stopped focusing on comprehending the landscape monument. Instead, he began to practice the Three Pure Ones Landscape Immortal Technique, which was personally taught by the Elder.

By focusing one's mind on purity, one attains the original purity.

With a single thought of upholding the highest purity, one can attain infinite transformations.

One thought returns to the Great Purity, thus attaining the embodiment of the Dao.

With the Three Thoughts in Harmony, Chen Beiwu drew upon his own divine consciousness and that of the three little creatures—Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Five Qi Vine—to forge a Mirror of the Three Pure Ones in Harmony, revealing the Dao patterns of heaven and earth and the original spirituality of the divine soul carried within the bloodline of the Three Pure Ones, rather than reflecting the Primordial Chaos Dao-Uniting Stele.

In this way, a trace of the profound and mysterious primordial Dao essence slowly welled up in Chen Beiwu's heart, but it was always separated by a thin mist that was difficult to see through.

'Unfortunately, progress is still a bit slow.' Chen Beiwu slowly opened his eyes.

Even with the help of the Three Pure Ones' landscape-comprehension techniques, he spent a month studying the landscape stele. His progress was limited to moving from observing the form to observing the essence, and he could only improve his own innate intermediate landscape. He still couldn't grasp the opportunity to forge the innate final landscape.

If he continues cultivating at this pace, it will take him at least fifty years, or even a hundred years, to forge the Heavenly Gifted Final Scene at the Golden Core stage.

"Ding!"

The cleansing bell near the futon swayed slightly, producing a clear and melodious sound.

When his meditation session ended, Chen Beiwu stood up without the slightest hesitation.

He planned to go to the Qiongqi Crossing Monument on the other side and try again to see if he could gain any new insights.

Upon seeing this scene, the cultivators queuing nearby remained calm and unsurprised.

Only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't hide their emotional fluctuations, revealing eyes full of ambition.

Their thinking was simple: even the top Jade Void cultivator of this generation failed to comprehend the Chaos Primordial Dao Integration Stele. If they could succeed, wouldn't they be able to use Chen Beiwu's name to soar to the top and be noticed and taken in by the sect's cultivation giants?

Not long after Chen Beiwu left, all the seated cultivators turned pale, and none of them succeeded, including several renowned Golden Core prodigies of the previous generation.

……

On the other side, in front of the Qiongqi Crossing the River Monument.

Another month has passed.

Chen Beiwu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and his muscles, bones, and flesh emitted a thunderous sound.

Although the Chaos Primordial Unity Supreme Landscape is beautiful and ranks first among the fifty-four landscape steles, it cannot provide him with any substantial improvement.

Comprehending the Qiongqi Crossing the Other Shore Stele is different. Chen Beiwu can rely on his own comprehension to manipulate the void power within the stele, tempering his muscles, flesh, internal organs, and divine sense, and continuously improving his physique.

From a certain perspective, Chen Beiwu has also found another use for the Supreme Landscape Stele.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Chen Beiwu's cell phone vibrated, and a message popped up on the screen.

Chen Beiwu answered the phone with a thought.

"Senior Brother Jiang."

"Junior Brother Chen, your application has completed all the formalities and you can enter the Yuqing Mountains at any time," Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother." Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was too young before, thinking that after he forged the Primordial Golden Core, he could enter the Jade Purity Mountain Range at any time because the sect had high hopes for him.

But the fact is just the opposite.

In the eyes of the sect, the Jade Purity Mountain Range is far more important than the sect's geniuses.

If he hadn't led his team to first place at the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference, he probably wouldn't have been able to freely enter the Jade Purity Mountain Range.

"The outer perimeter of the Jade Purity Mountains is fine, but we need to be careful in the depths. Some Heavenly Divine Beasts with special bloodlines can even reach the Heavenly Hearing."

Jiang Chuan's tone gradually became serious: "Junior Brother, if you want to form contracts with fellow beasts deep in the mountains in the future, you'd better be careful, because the rules there are different from those in the sect."

"Thank you for your help, senior brother." Chen Beiwu nodded his thanks and ended the call.

I haven't seen the little guy for over fifty years, and I wonder how he is now, or if he's grown up a bit.

……

Yuqing Mountains, Beichuan River.

The air was thick with moisture, and the waves surged.

On a giant rock by the river, a fluffy, snow-purple ball lies motionless, becoming a permanent feature of the riverside landscape.

Is the little darling spacing out again?

A plump squirrel spirit chewed on a pine nut in its hand, its eyes looking rather strange.

'How could someone just space out all day? They're probably practicing meditation!'

On the other side, the porcupine spirit that had gained sentience spoke while mimicking the little ancestor's actions, curling itself into a ball.

'Really? I have a feeling I've lost some treasure.'

A carp spirit blew out bubbles.

"Hey."

Ignoring the chatter of the nearby spirits, the young beast raised its head, revealing a pair of round, heterochromatic eyes, as it gazed at the sunset and evening glow in the distance.

'Young Master, it's time to eat.'

An older white fox leaped onto the boulder, speaking respectfully.

The seven-tailed purple fox cub glanced at the white fox, said nothing, and slowly closed its eyes.

Upon seeing this, the white fox sighed inwardly.

In previous years, things were fine, but ever since the Demon King Ziyao went into seclusion to cultivate, the little ancestor's personality has become increasingly withdrawn. He likes to lie on the boulder for three days and three nights at a time.

Suddenly, the seven-tailed purple fox cub twitched its nose slightly and its body stiffened abruptly.

"Oh!" (He's here!)

The seven-tailed purple fox let out a short whimper. The next second, it suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, its petite body moving like purple lightning, its speed so fast that even the white fox couldn't see the afterimage.

'He's here? Who is he?'

The white fox was slightly taken aback, and then a picture of an immortal with excellent appearance, who could walk and part water without using magic, suddenly came to mind, and it dawned on her.

……

The outer perimeter of the Yuqing Mountains.

"Na!"

As soon as Chen Beiwu entered the mountain range, the Five Qi Vine let out an excited cry.

'Could it be that some fourth-tier mystical herb has blossomed and borne fruit?'

Seeing the Five Qi Vine's reaction, Chen Beiwu became interested and urged the golden egg to speed up.

After crossing a mountain peak, Chen Beiwu's divine sense stirred slightly, and he saw smoke and dust billowing in the valley below.

Dozens of demon generals of different forms from the third realm continuously activated their innate profound abilities, rushing desperately in the direction indicated by the Five Qi Vine, forming a small but astonishing beast tide.

"Golden Rhinoceros!"

"Thunderwing Lion!"

"Mangshan Jiao!"

Chen Beiwu scanned the area with his divine sense, and the more he looked, the stranger it seemed.

Unlike the Southern Wilderness, each region of the Jade Purity Mountains has an absolute ruler, whose cultivation level is at least that of a fourth-realm demon king.

With a fourth-level demon king guarding the territory, even if a fourth-level profound medicine is born in this area, attracting the covetousness of many third-level demon generals, it will not lead to a beast tide. That would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the demon king.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu mounted the golden egg, and his speed of escape increased dramatically.

He wanted to see what kind of fourth-tier mystic medicine could make the demon general of the Jade Purity Mountains disregard everything.

"Hey!" (That's it!)
Five Qi Vine's eyes lit up, and it stretched out its small hand, intending to use the Five Qi Stealing Heaven Hand.

Don't do anything reckless.

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed as he blocked the Five Qi Vine and locked onto his target with his divine sense.

It was a vine with leaves like dragon scales, and a dark gold-red color.

Its leaves are thick and emit a strange fragrance, which even makes the golden eggs and iron eggs somewhat restless.

'Is this the Beast Blood Vine?' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

Beast Blood Vine is an extremely rare fourth-tier mystical herb. When it blooms, it emits a unique fragrance that attracts nearby demonic beasts to compete for it, thus allowing the vine to devour the essence of the demonic beasts and nurture its fruit.

Each time the Beast Blood Vine successfully devours a demon general's essence blood, a dark red line will grow on its vine.

When the Beast Blood Vine gathers all thirty-six lines, it will bear a crimson, jade-like fruit.

However, this fruit can only be consumed by the final victor in the battle.

Therefore, the Beast Blood Vine is also known as the Beast King Vine, and its fruit is praised by the Immortal Alliance cultivators as the Beast King Fruit.

For the young Heavenly Mystic Beasts, whose growth cycle is extremely long, the Beast King Fruit is undoubtedly the most effective bloodline catalyst.

After consumption, it can purify and accelerate the awakening process of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast cubs, shortening the bloodline awakening process of hundreds of years to just a few years, easily condensing the inner core, and stepping into the realm of the third-level demon general.

However, this fruit also has obvious drawbacks. Its medicinal properties are extremely potent, and weak-blooded beasts cannot consume it at all. It can only become an exclusive medicine for powerful-blooded beasts.

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

Under Chen Beiwu's watchful gaze, one after another, the third-realm demon generals dispersed their escape light, spat out their essence blood onto the beast blood vines, then suppressed the greed in their eyes and turned to leave the valley.

'Sure enough, this Beast Blood Vine already has an owner.' Chen Beiwu's mind raced.

Without the suppression of the Four Realms Demon Kings, these Three Realms Demon Generals would not be so extravagant as to use their own essence and blood to cultivate the Mystic Medicine.

"Huh?" (Aren't you going to do anything?)
Wu Qi Teng stared longingly at Chen Beiwu.

There were only a few dozen third-realm demon generals. If Chen Beiwu were to make a move, he could easily crush all the demon generals blocking his way and obtain the Beast Blood Vine and Beast King Fruit from the horde of beasts.

"You haven't forgotten the rules of the Yuqing Mountains, have you?" Chen Beiwu sighed and rubbed his forehead.

If he finds unclaimed natural treasures, that's one thing; he can just pick and take them away as he pleases.

Conversely, if he dared to seize the Xuan Medicine that clearly belonged to someone else, he would undoubtedly be breaking the rules.

"Wow." (Humans really have a lot of rules.)

Wuqi Teng pouted.

Back then, the precious herbs it set its sights on in the Yuqing Mountains could never escape its grasp.

"The past is the past, the present is the present." Chen Beiwu reassured himself mentally and prepared to leave.

He entered the Yuqing Mountains not to search for rare and precious materials, but to fulfill the promise he made to the little guy.

"Roar!"

Just then, the valley echoed with the roars of beasts, which then abruptly ceased, plunging into a suffocating silence.

One after another, powerful demon generals of the third realm prostrated themselves on the ground, as if paying homage to the supreme monarch and welcoming the king's arrival.

'Has the master of the Mystic Medicine arrived? Oh, what a coincidence!'

Chen Beiwu paused, his consciousness stirred slightly, and a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Five Qi Vine all had their pupils shrink slightly, showing surprise.

From the shadows on one side of the valley, a young beast trotted out, its fluffy, soft tail flowing like purple clouds behind it.

"Hey!"

As a childish whimper rang out, the seven-tailed purple fox quickened its pace, but accidentally tripped over its own tail and fell forward, tumbling and rolling. It then gracefully got up and continued running towards Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu activated his escape light and descended, slightly bending down and naturally opening his arms to meet the purple light.

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, the seven-tailed purple fox did not slow down and crashed solidly into Chen Beiwu's arms.

"boom!"

This enormous impact could easily crush a second-realm demon, but for Chen Beiwu, it was like a gentle breeze, which he easily caught.

"Long time no see." Chen Beiwu smiled.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox turned over happily, its four pink paws gently patting Chen Beiwu's chest.

Seeing this, some of the third-realm demon generals who were about to take action suppressed their eagerness and looked back and forth between Chen Beiwu and the seven-tailed purple fox with surprise.

Good heavens, apart from the Purple Jade Demon King, this is the first time they've seen anyone manage to tame their little ancestor so completely.

At the same time, Chen Beiwu lowered his head and petted the seven-tailed purple fox, discovering that the little guy had not only grown up over the years, but his cultivation had also improved to the peak level of the second realm of little demons.

However, what Chen Beiwu cared about more than these was the powerful aura emanating from the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but the wisps of purple aura on the little guy’s body, which are neither cloud nor rosy, are a third thicker than when we first met, and his power is no less than that of Emperor Yan.

This means that the little guy has a special bloodline and unlimited potential for the future, perhaps even having the potential to become a fifth-tier Creation Beast.

Of course, the future is the future; right now, the little guy is still a newbie.
