Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 588 Suppressing the Desolate Gu

Rumble!

A flash of light, and spatial teleportation.

Even though Li Xingyuan and his two Nascent Soul True Monarchs used their most powerful escape techniques, they still couldn't keep up with their sect leader and were even gradually falling behind.

The slender cultivator had the lowest cultivation level and the slowest escape speed, thus ranking last.

"I'd rather die than let my fellow Daoists die! If this continues, I'm doomed!"

The slender cultivator's eyes flashed, and he silently took out a peculiar Gu worm from his sleeve with his left hand.

Just then, space tore open, and a pink, fleshy hand suddenly reached out. The slender cultivator couldn't react in time, and everything went black before his eyes, and his nascent soul completely lost consciousness.

"Eek!" (So weak!)

Zhiling lowered her eyes and glanced at the thin cultivator with considerable disdain.

If Bei Wu hadn't wanted to take him alive, she could have crushed his nascent soul with a single claw.

"Junior Brother Tie's aura has disappeared!"

Li Xingyuan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately extinguished the last vestige of delusion in his mind, formed hand seals, and, at the cost of his lifespan, unleashed the Thousand-Eyed Golden Centipede Dharma Form.

As soon as the Golden Centipede Dharma Form appeared, thousands of eyes behind it shot out golden light, which poured into Li Xingyuan's dantian with lightning speed.

In an instant, Li Xingyuan was surrounded by a golden light, and his teleportation speed increased exponentially, instantly surpassing the other Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"Damn it!"

The True Lord of Capturing Gu cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as Li Xingyuan went away and accept the fact that he had become a scapegoat.

"boom!"

Suddenly, flames erupted, and the sun blazed overhead.

The soaring, intense flames sent a chill down the spine of the True Lord of Capturing Gu, who immediately activated his Spiritual Eye Profound Power to investigate the Great Sun.

To wield the radiant light of the Great Sun!

What kind of demon king or variant is this?

The True Lord of Capturing Gu's pupils contracted, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes gradually opening deep within the sun's wheel.

Looking directly into those eyes that were both divine and demonic, the True Lord of Capturing Gu felt an overwhelming sense of dread in his spiritual center, nascent soul, and golden core.

"We must not be defeated!" This thought instinctively arose in the mind of the True Lord of Capturing Gu.

Within the Xuan Yan territory, he had seen peak-level demon kings before, and had even briefly fought against such beings by relying on the secret techniques of the Thousand Gu Sect, before finally fleeing.

But in front of this Great Sun Demon King, the True Lord of Capturing Gu deeply felt his own insignificance.

This is absolutely not the power a peak-level demon king should possess!

Feeling the terrifying pressure, the True Lord of Capturing Gu swallowed hard, as if he could already foresee his own death.

"Woof." (Surrender, and I might spare your life.)

Tie Dan let out a low growl, urging the Nine Forbidden Sins of Candlelight to lock onto the True Lord of Capturing Gu, completely disregarding him.

Upon hearing this, the True Lord of Capturing Gu was still hesitating when the Great Sun in the Sky had already formed a nine-linked barrier, locking down this world.

At this moment, let alone his nascent soul leaving his body, even if he abandoned his nascent soul and physical body, and entrusted his soul to his natal Gu, he would still have nowhere to escape.

However, since the True Lord of Capturing Gu was able to reach the late Nascent Soul stage within the Xuan Yan territory, he was naturally not someone who was afraid of death and also had some hidden methods of killing.

"fall!"

The True Lord of Capturing Gu made a hand seal with both hands.

Surrender is out of the question!

If he were to fall into the hands of a peak demon king, his nascent soul and golden core in his dantian would become the demon king's food, and even his three souls and seven spirits would be unable to be reincarnated.

Therefore, rather than dying a cowardly death, it is better to be a tough guy and achieve the ultimate sublimation.

Even if he couldn't kill this Great Sun Demon King, he would break its teeth and let it see the spirit of a human Nascent Soul True Monarch!

"Woof!" (Stubborn to the end!)

Tie Dan lowered his eyes, and the tribulation flames around his body alternated, transforming into a soaring true fire that swept across the heavens and earth. This caused the stubbornly resisting Qin Gu Zhenjun's body to sink, his back to hunch, and the true qi and magic power within his body, which had been sublimated to the extreme, to suddenly fall silent.

"Move! Move!"

As the Great Sun Black Dog slowly approached, the True Lord of Capturing Gu's pupils contracted, and he roared inwardly, activating the natal Gu nurtured deep within his body.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Tie Dan walked up to the True Lord of Capturing Gu, looked down at him, then stepped on the air with his hind foot, raised his front foot high, and stomped down hard.

boom!

His natal Gu was suppressed, suffered a backlash from the magic power, and was then toyed with by the Demon King, who stomped heavily on his back twice. The Gu-Capturing True Lord staggered, his hands and knees crashing to the ground, collapsing in front of Tie Dan.

"I have cultivated diligently for over 1,800 years, only to die in the mouth of the Demon King!" The eyes of the Gu-Capturing True Monarch revealed deep resentment.

He doesn't understand!

Although the powerful demon king in front of them was formidable, he was no match for the sect leader.

Why did the sect leader flee so frantically, abandoning the lives of the sect's supreme elders?

Could it be that there is an even stronger being hidden inside the Heavenly Corpse Cave?

In a daze, the body of the Gu-Capturing True Lord turned into charcoal under the raging true fire, his eyes unwillingly closing.

With a calm expression, Tie Dan extended his front paw to turn Qin Gu Zhenjun over, then pressed a paw into the latter's dantian and planted a Burning Sun Seed.

After doing all this, Tie Dan swept its tail, hooked the neck of Qin Gu Zhenjun, and walked on fire towards its master's location.

Even Junior Brother Qin—

Upon realizing that the True Lord of Capturing Gu had vanished without a trace, Li Xingyuan grew increasingly terrified.

Rumble!

Just then, thunder roared and the light of the three phases surged forth.

As Li Xingyuan's escape light stopped, the Thousand-Eyed Golden Centipede Dharma Image behind him slowly dissipated, revealing a look of horror on his face.

It was because a dragon peered out from the sky, revealing the majestic head of the Trinity.

A three-headed dragon of a different species?

Upon seeing the towering dragon shadow that blotted out the sky, Li Xingyuan's nascent soul was instantly struck by an unprecedented dragon's might. The numerous Gu worms residing within his body let out mournful cries and began to devour their host.

"puff!"

Li Xingyuan coughed up blood and staggered backward, his eyes filled with despair.

We can't fight them, and we can't escape them!

Could it be that the mysterious external force that invaded the Heavenly Corpse Cave this time was not the Northern Yan Sect, but the Nascent Soul Sect of the Southern Wilderness?

Thinking of this, Li Xingyuan circulated his true energy, forcibly suppressing the backlash of his dantian's magical power, and bowed to the three-headed dragon in front of him: "I am Li Xingyuan, True Monarch of the Thousand Gu Sect, greetings to your esteemed presence."

Since the sect leader of the Desolate Gu Sect is unreliable and completely disregards the lives of his True Monarchs, then don't blame this remnant of the Thousand Gu Sect for betraying his cause again, flexibly choosing his side, and demonstrating his own value.

True Lord of the Thousand Gu Sect?

The golden dragon's eyes lit up, and its gaze fell on Li Xingyuan.

Suppressing his fear, Li Xingyuan straightened up and asked, "Is your purpose in coming here for the Heavenly Cicada Life-Extending Gu?"

"I am not talented, but I was once a disciple of the Thousand Gu Sect's patriarch. I know how to open the 'Ten Thousand Gu Sealing Corpse Transformation Yang Reversal Heaven Locking Yuan Array' and how to extract the Heavenly Cicada Gu passed down through generations of the Thousand Gu Sect."

Breathe!

Two breaths!

Nothing happened.

Just when Li Xingyuan thought he had made a mistake in his bet, the three-headed dragon suddenly turned its back to him, soared into the clouds in the direction the sect leader had fled, and then left behind a message.

"Hoo!" (Follow me!)

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyuan felt relieved, took out the pills from his storage ring and swallowed them, then followed closely behind the three-headed dragon.

On the other side, outside the Heavenly Corpse Cave.

A streak of light moved with incredible speed, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding space. It could simply pass through the stone gate to leave the Heavenly Corpse Cave and enter the Miasma Ruins.

Suddenly, the light descended, revealing a figure—it was Tie Musheng, the sect leader of the Desolate Gu Sect.

Tie Musheng glanced at the stone gate not far away, sighed inwardly, and did not go any further. He said calmly, "Come out. I know you have been here all along. Why don't we come out and talk?"

A gentle breeze blew, but there was no response; yet Tie Musheng remained calm.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

As footsteps sounded, Tie Musheng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the figure that suddenly appeared at the stone gate.

The newcomer had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as handsome as jade, and was dressed in white. He was the unfamiliar powerful figure that the man had sensed through the Earth Deficiency Gu.

-

Tie Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that the mysterious figure with a noble bearing was not on the white-robed cultivator's shoulder, but he still dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

If the Earthly Gu hadn't sensed something was wrong first, he probably would have walked straight through the stone gate and been ambushed and killed without even knowing how he died.

"How did you figure that out?" Chen Beiwu asked with great interest.

Although the Great Evolution True Profound Power he unleashed with the help of the Fellowship Beast Seal was not as powerful as the Golden Egg's own power, it was still beyond the comprehension of a mere Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch.

"With your cultivation level, fellow Daoist, you shouldn't remain unknown within the Xuan Yan Realm."

Unwilling to reveal his trump card, Tie Musheng countered with, "May I ask how you are addressed, fellow Daoist?"

"Mirror Moon True Warrior." Chen Beiwu smiled calmly, not paying much attention to Tie Musheng's concealment.

"So you are a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Mirror Moon Sect. I am Tie Musheng, the Sect Master of the Desolate Gu Sect."

Tie Musheng calmly replied, "The Xuan Yan and Di Yan realms have always kept to themselves. I wonder why True Martial Lord has entered my sect's secret territory—"

"As far as I know, the Heavenly Corpse Cave is a forbidden area of ​​the Thousand Gu Sect, not some Desolate Gu Sect," Chen Beiwu interrupted. "However, your aptitude and cultivation are quite good. Would you be willing to lead the Desolate Gu Sect to become an affiliated force of my Mirror Moon Sect?"

Tie Musheng's expression darkened.

He had finally overthrown and replaced the Thousand Gu Sect, becoming one of the two dominant sects in the Profound Realm. How could he possibly be willing to become a vassal of the Mirror Moon Sect?

Even though the Mirror Moon Sect has a strong foundation, it is still the same as the ancient Taiyi Dao Sect.

"With just a few words, you want my Desolate Gu Sect to acknowledge the Mirror Moon Sect as the superior sect? Fellow Daoist Zhenwu is truly domineering."

Tie Musheng suppressed his anger and said.

If he hadn't been wary of that precious young beast, he would have already taken action and shown it what it means to have trouble with one's words.

"What is tyranny? If you want to kill me, and I spare your life, is that tyranny?"

Chen Beiwu scoffed, "The victor is the one who dies, and the loser is the one who is condemned. The reason why the Thousand Gu Sect was destroyed by you is simply because its power had declined and it was not strong enough."

"Does Fellow Daoist Zhenwu mean that the Mirror Moon Sect is far stronger than the Desolate Gu Sect, and could destroy our sect at any time?"

Tie Musheng's body surged with pitch-black true energy, unleashing a powerful aura that surpassed even a Nascent Soul True Monarch and rivaled a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator, completely controlling the spiritual energy of this world.

One step back leads to another.

What he feared was the noble young beast, not a mere Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch.

Chen Beiwu casually corrected him, "You misunderstood. As the sect leader of the Mirror Moon Sect, I alone am enough to suppress the Desolate Gu Sect."

"You think you can take me?" Tie Musheng laughed angrily.

"It seems the railway workers are somewhat dissatisfied."

Chen Beiwu stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head slightly: "I have never been good with words, so it seems that I can only use my profound magical abilities to make Fellow Daoist Tie understand the vast difference between us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu activated the Primordial Five Tribulations Seal, and the seal struck Tie Musheng's head.

Tie Musheng's expression changed slightly as he sensed the unusual nature of this seal. He subconsciously activated his true energy, causing the skin between his eyebrows to tear, revealing a strange golden beetle.

The Six Deadly Gu can be placed in a deadly situation, destroying the very foundation of heaven and earth. They are divided into six categories: Severance, Destruction, Shattering, Fate, Earth, and Heaven.

In ancient times, the Six Deadly Venerables relied on the Six Deadly Venerables of the Heavenly Gu to run rampant in the Xuan Yan territory, and even the Nascent Soul sects were unwilling to offend them easily.

Tie Musheng has good aptitude. Before becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, he cultivated the Six Remnants of the Heavenly Gu to the Earthly Remnant realm, possessing the strength to suppress Xuan Yan, who is half a step into the Nascent Soul realm, even though he has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if he faces a near-death experience today, he is confident that he can survive and find a way out.

boom!

As the Jade Void Crimson Seal descended, Tie Musheng was immediately engulfed in Jade Void True Fire. Even the golden beetle between his brows could not escape the burning of the Jade Void True Fire and instantly turned into ashes.

Chen Beiwu remained expressionless and flicked his finger lightly to the right.

"Boom!"

Chen Beiwu's fingertips landed precisely on the suddenly appearing golden beetle, easily crushing it into minced meat.

"You were able to defy the upper sect and seize the Thousand Gu Sect's 100,000-year foundation. Your talent and ability are considered good in the Xuan Yan region, but they can't be called outstanding. I'll only give you one chance."

"If you can catch one of my fingers and survive, you may live today; otherwise, you will die."

Chen Beiwu looked at Tie Musheng, who had quietly appeared not far away, and said succinctly.

Even those at the half-step Nascent Soul stage have varying levels of attainment.

Even though Tie Musheng possesses profound abilities and can unleash a power comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator through secret techniques, he is still no match for the top Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of the five great grotto heavens. At most, he can fight against a Nascent Soul Perfection genius from an immortal sect, and he will most likely be defeated.

In the past, a prodigy of this caliber would have been beneath Chen Beiwu's notice; he would have simply crushed him with a flick of his finger.

However, if he wanted to save some time and energy, seize the fortune of the Profound Realm as soon as possible, subdue Tie Musheng, and bring the Desolate Gu Sect under his control, it would undoubtedly be the fastest way.

Of course, this approach is effective only because Tie Musheng is the founder of a sect and has unquestionable authority within the Huang Gu Sect.

An ordinary sect leader who dares to defy the sect's authority and acknowledge another sect as superior will be stripped of his position and kicked out of the sect's core by the sect's supreme elder in the next second.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu slightly reduced his strength and pointed a finger at Tie Musheng.

"Buzz!"

This Heavenly Finger of the Cave Truth transcends the fourth-order Profound Realm and is close to the fifth-order Creation Realm. It does not leak any power and appears ordinary in Tie Musheng's eyes, but it carries a special Daoist charm.

"You think you can defeat me with just one finger!"

Tie Musheng roared and revealed his trump card without hesitation.

The reason was simple: upon receiving this finger strike, the Earth Deficiency Gu within his body issued a strong warning.

"Earth Collapses!"

Tie Musheng pointed a finger at his dantian, causing the immortal golden core to shatter and collapse, transforming into a vast and boundless immortal golden essence.

Immediately, he used his Nascent Soul Yang Spirit to activate the Metal element and frantically poured it into the Earth Deficiency Gu, thus uniting the human and the Gu into one, empowering the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image, and awakening the remaining trace of Creation Yuan within the Earth Deficiency Gu to form a flawless defensive barrier.

"boom!"

The finger falls and people perish.

Even though Tie Musheng used his trump card, he couldn't hold out for even a moment against the power of the Dongzhen Tribulation Heavenly Finger. His body shattered into blood mist, and even his nascent soul was obliterated into nothingness.

"He does have some skill."

Chen Beiwu sighed in admiration and slowly withdrew his finger.

The next second, the world fell silent, and the pervasive blood mist frantically converged, reshaping the pale-faced Tie Musheng.

Having experienced the terrifying brush with death, Tie Musheng lowered his head slightly, his fingertips trembling slightly, displaying an attitude completely different from before.

"Although I am in charge of the Desolate Gu Sect, I am afraid that I alone will find it difficult to persuade the many elders of the sect."

Tie Musheng concealed his unruly nature and bowed respectfully to Chen Beiwu.

There's no way around it; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
