Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 379 passed smoothly.
"Azhi, do you think this will prevent your mother from seeing you?"

The Demon King Ziyao shook his head and smiled speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, the seven-tailed purple fox spread its tails and leaped into the arms of the Purple Yao Demon King, letting out a soft, ingratiating sound, choosing a different way to act coquettish.

Seeing his daughter in this state, a hint of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Demon King Ziyao.

"You, you."

She extended her slender, jade-like fingers and gently tapped her daughter's nose with a tender gesture.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox blinked its round eyes, knowing it had successfully charmed Chen Beiwu, and looked at him curiously.

"Don't worry, he's fine. He just drank the Cloud Mist Tea, which boosted his comprehension, automatically putting him into a state of enlightenment to digest his past knowledge."

Ziyao Demon King raised an eyebrow, his fingertips gently stroking the soft downy hair on his daughter's forehead, a hint of jealousy lingering in his mind.

Good guy.

His own daughter was so concerned about Chen Beiwu even before they had signed the Covenant, and he even suspected that she had put something in his tea.

If a covenant is signed, wouldn't Azhi only have Chen Beiwu in her eyes and no longer have eyes for her as her mother?

"???"

The seven-tailed purple fox stared wide-eyed with its heterochromatic eyes.

What the hell?
Since Yunwu tea is so effective, why did I only feel a warm feeling in my stomach and excellent sleep after drinking it twice, without any other effects?

"What, would your mother lie to you?" The Demon King Ziyao's expression turned serious.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox timidly shook its head.

Although it was afraid of its mother's anger, it also knew that its mother was a woman of her word and never lied.

The Purple Jade Demon King's expression softened slightly as he took a sip of hot tea.

Originally, she planned to keep her daughter with her and teach her carefully until her daughter smoothly passed through the incredibly long infancy period.

Even if her daughter needs to find a contract cultivator to mutually verify the Great Dao in the future, she will carefully select one who is a top-notch talent in terms of talent, foundation, temperament, and background, and who is well-known to her.

In this situation, Chen Beiwu is actually a very good choice. He has a clean background, excellent talent, and with his mother-in-law's help, he has a good chance of becoming a god in the future.

Otherwise, the Demon King Ziyao wouldn't have allowed his daughter to have contact with Chen Beiwu back then, and even allowed his daughter to give him a baby bottle.

But today, the Purple Yao Demon King's thoughts have changed.

Indeed, jade that is not carved cannot become a useful object.

For the sake of her daughter's future growth, she would have to find a suitable Jade Purity Heavenly Pride sooner or later.

Chen Beiwu has changed so much that even her daughter might not be able to keep up with him.

In short, in the eyes of the Demon King Ziyao, entrusting her daughter to such a prodigy with great potential and unpredictability might be a blessing, but it could also be a curse. She needs to spend more time carefully evaluating the situation.

'Azhi, your mother will only ask you this once: are you sure you want to choose him?'

The Demon King Ziyao looked at the seven-tailed purple fox with a serious expression.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox didn't know why its mother had suddenly changed her mind and asked such a question, but it nodded slightly, its answer very firm.

'Since it's your choice, your mother will respect it.'

The Purple Jade Demon King reached out and stroked the seven-tailed purple fox's head, his gaze subtly sweeping over the golden egg, iron egg, and five-qi vines with their eyes slightly closed. He transmitted his thoughts telepathically, saying, "But I hope you spend a few years with him before deciding whether to form a shared-spirit contract."

The seven-tailed purple fox turned to look at Chen Beiwu, who was meditating in enlightenment, and did not refuse her mother's suggestion again, otherwise the matter of the contract might encounter some twists and turns.

Soon, three hours passed, and Chen Beiwu's state of enlightenment was about to end, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounding him gradually dissipating.

The next second, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his left eye reflecting the initial scene of the Heavenly Gift, and his right eye reflecting the middle scene of the Heavenly Gift.

The same is true of the Golden Egg, the Iron Egg, and the Five Qi Vine; their eyes all contain two major landscapes.

Upon seeing this scene, the Purple Yao Demon King looked at Chen Beiwu with a seemingly calm gaze, but in reality, her heart was already filled with ripples.

The two scenes blend together, allowing us to observe the form, the nature, and then the heart.

If the other party can achieve this step, it means they have successfully observed the mind and are not far from merging with the spirit into the scene and creating the divinely bestowed final scene.

At the same time, Chen Beiwu was also somewhat surprised.

What grade of rare and precious material is this Cloud Mist Tea? Is it a fourth-grade Xuan medicine or a fifth-grade Yuan medicine?
Just by drinking a cup, he could enter a state of enlightenment, realize the flaws in his own landscape, and open the path to the divinely bestowed final realm.

The only thing that Chen Beiwu regretted was that the Cloud Mist Tea was ultimately an external thing that could enhance his comprehension, but it could not help him go further and successfully comprehend the artistic conception of the two supreme landscape monuments.

"Excellent tea! This tea can see through illusions; it's truly a rare find!" Chen Beiwu exclaimed in admiration.

The Purple Jade Demon King smiled, his face still dignified: "When the time is right, things will naturally fall into place. This tea is simply a matter of chance, a testament to your profound accumulation of knowledge over the years."

"If you like, young friend, you can take some home to try."

After exchanging a few polite words, she took the initiative to change the subject: "There is something that I am often worried about, and I wonder if you could enlighten me?"

"Your Majesty, please speak," Chen Beiwu said, showing his curiosity at the opportune moment.

The Demon King Ziyao turned his gaze to the seven-tailed purple fox, his tone tinged with affection: "Azhi is pure of heart. Once she has made up her mind about something, she will not regret it even if she gives it her all. It is precisely because of this that her father often sighs, wondering whether such a temperament is a blessing or a curse."

"Your Majesty is overthinking it. A childlike heart is precious in its naturalness and is beneficial to the path of cultivation. As for whether it is a blessing or a curse, it does not depend on Azhi, but on who Azhi encounters."

Chen Beiwu remained calm and composed, saying, "I have always believed that sincerity will not be betrayed, and there will always be people in this world who treat sincerity with sincerity."

"As for those heartless, ungrateful people, even if they can pretend for a while, their despicable nature and narrow-mindedness will be exposed by time."

"Yes, what you say makes sense, young friend."

The Demon King Ziyao nodded slightly, offering no further comment.

The seven-tailed purple fox on the side seemed to understand the subtext of their words. She puffed out her little chest, narrowed her eyes into crescents, and showed a proud look.

"Young friend, your insights are extraordinary. I happen to have three questions that I would like to hear your opinions on."

Zi Yao landed on Chen Beiwu seemingly casually, but in reality, she had already activated the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox Mind's Eye.

Chen Beiwu's expression turned serious, realizing that the real test had arrived.

Unlike those unburdened, naturally born and raised Heavenly Beasts, Heavenly Beasts like the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, which possess clans and lineages, have elders who are extremely strict in their examination of their contracted cultivators, and they do not treat such matters lightly.

It is no exaggeration to say that some of the most talented individuals in the Jade Purity Realm are willing to risk their lives to undergo various trials and tribulations in order to gain the approval of the elders of the Heavenly Gang Mystic Beasts.

The way the Demon King Ziyao is asking questions face-to-face seems direct, but it is actually the gentlest and simplest method.

"Your Majesty, please ask."

Chen Beiwu had no objection and decided to respond to each move as it came.

"My first question is, in your opinion, what exactly is a Fellowship Beast to a cultivator?"

"Second question: When choosing a companion beast, what do you value most?" "Third question: If you don't get along with the companion beast you contract, or if it goes against your principles of cultivation, how will you handle it?" Zi Yao Demon King asked in a gentle tone.

These three questions may seem simple, but they are actually quite insightful.

By analyzing the answers to the questions, the Purple Jade Demon King could determine Chen Beiwu's values ​​and character, whether he would casually form contracts with other beasts in pursuit of their power, and whether he possessed the ability to grow alongside them, cultivate through their power, and ultimately achieve the Great Dao...

As for whether Chen Beiwu would make empty promises or lie during his answers, the Demon King Ziyao was not worried at all.

Chen Beiwu, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, could not be fooled by her unless his cultivation had reached the level of a True God Transformation Venerable.

Upon hearing these questions, not only did the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox look on with curiosity, but even Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Five Qi Vine stood up and focused their gazes on Chen Beiwu.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Chen Beiwu did not hesitate or waver, but directly followed his heart:
"My first question is that, to me, the Golden Egg, the Iron Egg, and the Five Qi Vine are companions, family members, fellow practitioners on the path of cultivation, and can also be called Daoist friends, not beasts that share the same cultivation."

"The second question is about companions who are outspoken, share difficulties together, and treat each other with sincerity.

Of course, this can be summarized as like-minded fellow practitioners who can entrust their juniors to each other.

"As for the third question," Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, "I don't think I'll have companions with different ideologies, but if conflicts arise, whether it's a clash of ideologies or a clash of emotions, I will focus on communication and guidance. If all else fails, we'll have a fight, and whoever loses will have to listen to them. But there will never be an option to terminate the co-participation contract."

"Since we share the same goals and have embarked on the same journey, there is no reason for us to disembark halfway. Even if we have many different opinions along the way, we should seek common ground while reserving differences, and work together to understand and validate each other."

Hearing Chen Beiwu's unusual and stubborn answer, the Purple Yao Demon King remained unmoved.

Through keen observation, she discovered that Chen Beiwu was not lying, but he seemed to be avoiding the important points when answering questions.

The reason is simple: not being able to lie does not mean you can't tell some of the truth.

However, the Demon Queen Ziyao had no intention of digging any deeper. This part of the truth alone was enough for her to have a general understanding of Chen Beiwu's values ​​and character.

'If he can keep his word and not forget his original intention during the long period of cultivation, he would make a good son-in-law,'

Ziyao Demon King thought to herself, her beautiful eyes glancing at her good-for-nothing daughter.

As expected, Azhi's eyes were practically shining when she looked at Chen Beiwu, and she almost abandoned her mother's embrace to throw herself into his arms.

Even the golden egg, iron egg, and five-qi vine on Chen Beiwu's left and right shoulders all showed moved expressions.

'These kids are still too young; they believe everything!'

Looking at these naive children who had been fooled, the Demon King Ziyao's mind raced, and she decisively changed the subject.

If they continued talking, she was afraid her silly daughter would run away.

"Your answer is truly unexpected."

The Demon King Ziyao nodded and leaned back lazily: "Azhi's bloodline awakening will take some time. During this period, you can spend more time together and get to know each other."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly, knowing that he should have passed the test smoothly, but he still needed some time to be observed.

This was exactly what Chen Beiwu wanted to do. After all, choices are two-way. He was moved by the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, but he didn't know much about her and hadn't yet built up enough trust with her.

"嘤~!"

The seven-tailed purple fox let out a joyful whimper and suddenly darted out.

Chen Beiwu suddenly felt a weight in his arms, and his nose caught a faint milky scent.

"Go ahead. If there is anything important, you can have Bai Li inform you."

The Demon King Ziyao closed her eyes, hoping to avoid seeing or hearing about it.

Chen Beiwu bowed respectfully and left the Demon King's cave with the seven-tailed purple fox.

It must be said that the demon king who can occupy such a large territory in the Yuqing Mountains is no ordinary person.

Just one worried remark from the Demon King Ziyao during their conversation made Chen Beiwu realize what it meant to owe someone a debt of gratitude and what it meant to have a human connection.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, the smile on the lips of the Purple Jade Demon King, who was sitting on the throne, faded, and she sighed softly.

Upon hearing this commotion, both the white fox and the white glass standing on either side of the throne lowered their heads and fell silent.

They understood that from this day forward, Chen Beiwu was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

……

The next morning.

Taiyuan Heavenly Realm, the Qiongqi Crossing the River on the Other Shore.

Dressed in white, Chen Beiwu sat quietly before the monument, his eyes slightly closed, immersed in the Taoist essence within the monument.

After drinking the Cloud Mist Tea, while his understanding was still fresh, Chen Beiwu left the Yuqing Mountains and headed straight for the Taiyuan Heavenly Realm to observe and comprehend the landscape monument.

Unlike usual, a small beast, about the size of two palms, was lazily lying on Chen Beiwu's left shoulder.

"Hiss, it's a seven-tailed purple fox cub!"

Upon seeing this scene, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's pupils constricted, and he let out a low cry, attracting the attention of many cultivators around him.

In an instant, a clamor arose, with exclamations of amazement and incredulous discussions rising and falling, and burning gazes instantly turned to the seven-tailed purple fox.

The little guy wasn't intimidated at all, ignoring the stares of those around him, and continued to perch on Chen Beiwu's shoulder.

'Contracting a Five-Element Vine is one thing, but how can you contract a Seven-Tailed Purple Fox?'

Xu Xiu frowned slightly, a hint of jealousy creeping into her heart, but she dared not show it in the slightest.

The reason is simple: there is only one seven-tailed purple fox cub in the Yuqing Mountains, and it was born to the famous Ziyao Demon King.

Although the Purple Yao Demon King is a demon king on the outskirts of the Jade Purity Mountains, his strength and status are far beyond what ordinary Jade Purity prodigies can imagine.

Xu Xiu only learned from her Daoist partner that Zi Yao Demon King's husband was a powerful figure in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

'With the approval of the Purple Jade Demon King, Chen Beiwu's future is likely to soar to great heights!' Xu Xiu felt increasingly fortunate as she thought about it.

The Seven-Tailed Purple Fox clan has always been protective of its own, and fortunately, he did not rashly join the Feather Immortal Society founded by Senior Brother Xiao to target Chen Beiwu.

Senior Brother Xiao comes from a noble family and can withstand pressure, but that doesn't mean his Daoist partner can either, and she might easily suffer collateral damage.

"A bunch of blind fools." Golden Egg glanced around, his face full of disdain.

Is the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox very strong? It can suppress anything with a single claw attack!
"Waaah!"

Feeling a chill, the seven-tailed purple fox sneezed and looked up at the golden egg.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Jin Dan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly took out the baby bottle that Chen Beiwu had entrusted to him.

"Hey."

The seven-tailed purple fox shook its head, thinking it was mistaken.

"Buzz!"

With no time to pay attention to the outside world, Chen Beiwu's mind was completely absorbed in the landscape monument, and his body was filled with Daoist energy.

For him, the most important thing now is to learn from the strengths of others and construct the Heavenly End Scene in the shortest time so that he can activate the Heavenly Gang when the Dharma Origin Realm opens and condense the Dharma Image in advance.
