Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 594 Returning to the Void and Becoming a God

"Buzz!"

The moment the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons admitted defeat, the Divine Power of Fate Mandate was activated, seizing the fortune, and a magnificent Crimson Dragon of Great Fortune appeared in the chaotic world.

In addition, the good fortune that Chen Beiwu had obtained from suppressing the True Monarch of the Desolate Gu Sect, along with the red dragons of good fortune in the chaotic world, all gathered together to form a misty purple aura that was neither gold nor rosy, and of inestimable value.

"Not bad," Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

This good fortune is just the beginning.

Once the Desolate Gu and Ten Thousand Poisons sects officially acknowledge Jingyue as their superior sect, the fortune he, as the sect leader of Jingyue, can seize will increase exponentially, and it is even possible that his own noble and auspicious status will undergo a transformation.

"Even the sect leader has been defeated!"

On the other side, Guo Tianyu and Deng Buming exchanged a glance, both able to sense the heaviness in each other's hearts.

According to the agreement proposed by the sect leader, from now on, there will be another sect above the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Mirror Moon Sect, as a superior sect, harbors malicious intentions and attempts to erode the foundation of the Myriad Poisons Sect, all the traditions and resources accumulated by its predecessors over 30,000 years will be used to benefit other sects.

As for breaking the agreement?

Leaving aside whether the sect leader would be willing to take back his promise, even if he were, the sect could not afford to completely anger the sect leader at this moment.

Within the Xuan Yan territory, ultimately, strength speaks for itself.

Guo Tianyu and Deng Buming both took a deep breath, suppressing their emotions.

"Sect Master, save me!"

With only one Nascent Soul remaining, He Suxin disregarded the interests of her sect and immediately sought help from Fairy Wan Du.

Only when the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons used her profound powers to repair his physical body could his nascent soul return to the Purple Mansion, stabilizing his life and preventing him from suffering irreparable injuries that would lead to possession or reincarnation.

"Please trouble Sect Leader Chen to withdraw your sword intent," Lan Xinyi said.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu instantly teleported the snow leash on his shoulder to He Suxin's physical body and used the Five Qi Transformation Profound Power.

"Thank you so much, Sect Master, for saving us!"

Seeing the sword intent dissipate and her physical body heal, He Suxin activated her nascent soul and flashed back to her physical body.

At the same time, the Poisonous True Monarch Zhao Zhixin, who had been suppressed by the Heavenly Finger of the Cave True Tribulation, and a group of great formations were broken, and the Wan Du Sect cultivators who had fallen into a coma slowly awoke.

"This is not the place to talk. Sect Leader Chen, please follow me."

Lan Xinyi's expression softened slightly as she turned and activated her escape light towards the Wan Du Sect's mountain gate.

Chen Beiwu was not afraid of the Myriad Poisons Sect playing tricks. He activated the Heavenly Foot Profound Power, put his hands behind his back, and followed, leaving the group of Golden Core cultivators from the Myriad Poisons Sect looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what had happened.

"Sect Master, wait for me!"

Upon seeing this, Li Xingyuan, who was covered in injuries, immediately stopped concealing his aura and followed closely behind Chen Beiwu. He did not look like a cultivator who had been seriously injured, which made Guo Tianyu and the other two Nascent Soul True Monarchs realize that something was wrong.

"The powerful figures who can follow the Mirror Moon Sect Master are indeed not to be underestimated!" Guo Tianyu's eyes narrowed.

The main hall of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

The fruit is arranged on a plate, and the aroma of tea fills the air.

But unlike before, the cultivator sitting in the main seat was now Chen Beiwu.

"How long will it take for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to become an vassal of the Mirror Moon Sect?" Chen Beiwu asked bluntly.

Lan Xinyi was silent for a moment, then spoke: "If Sect Leader Chen trusts me, seven days will suffice."

Chen Beiwu looked up at Lan Xinyi, somewhat surprised.

He had thought that Lan Xinyi would stall for time like the leader of the Wild Gu Sect, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.

"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. I naturally trust Fairy Wan Du, and the position of sect leader of Wan Du Sect will still be yours."

"Chen Beiwu promised."

He was not interested in power and did not want to spend time and energy managing all the affairs of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Having the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons continue as sect leader would save him a lot of trouble.

Lan Xinyi raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised and uncertain.

She was prepared to step down, and even planned to use her voluntary abdication as a condition to secure some benefits for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, so that it would not be exploited too much by the Mirror Moon Sect.

Unexpectedly, the Mirror Moon Sect Master chose to continue letting her serve as the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect Master.

If she were to speak up again now to advocate for the sect's interests, it would seem as if she were pushing her luck.

However, some conditions cannot be omitted; otherwise, even if the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect can survive in her generation, it will not be able to be passed down for many generations.

Noticing the change in Lan Xinyi's expression, Chen Beiwu said nonchalantly, "Please speak freely, Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons."

"Based on the agreement, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect will regard Jingyue as its superior sect, but I have three things I hope Sect Leader Chen can agree to," Lan Xinyi said thoughtfully.

Chen Beiwu: "Oh, what are the conditions? Tell me."

"First, our sect's cultivators excel at alchemy and poison refining, dislike fighting, and are unwilling to participate in the struggle for supremacy among the nine realms of the Southern Wilderness. They only wish to live in seclusion in a corner, research the art of poison, and provide spirit stones, spirit materials, spirit medicines, and spirit pills for the upper sects."

"Secondly, every ten years, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect may select a certain number of cultivators to serve the upper sect, but the upper sect shall not arbitrarily interfere with the internal affairs system of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect unless our sect has committed any wrongdoing."

"Third, if the vassalage is successful, the Azure King Serpent will be a treasure of both our sect and the superior sect. We hope that Sect Master Chen can do his best to find the Azure King Serpent for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Lan Xinyi looked directly at Chen Beiwu, her tone sincere.

Within the Xuan Yan territory, whether a vassal sect can live well depends entirely on whether the higher-ups of the upper sect are behaving properly.

Therefore, the conditions she proposed were very simple: to allow the Myriad Poisons Sect to retain some autonomy so that no major changes would occur due to the changing thoughts of the Mirror Moon Sect's higher-ups.

"A very reasonable demand."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly in agreement, which relieved Lan Xinyi.

"But I have one condition, and that is stability."

Chen Beiwu praised, "The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has a good reputation. Keep it up. I don't want any unrest to occur within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's territory due to the encroachment on resources."

Accumulating a position requires a stable and continuous source of fortune. The more cultivators the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect rules over, the more fortune from all living beings it can obtain.

Conversely, while a system of natural selection, like raising poisonous insects, can cultivate sufficiently elite experts, it is not conducive to Chen Beiwu's ability to seize fortune through supernatural powers.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xinyi's lips curled up slightly.

She wasn't wrong about him. With the spirit and strength Chen Zi'ang is showing now, he will most likely be able to preserve the lineage of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect during the great changes to come.

After negotiating the vassalage agreement and obtaining the right to study all the cultivation techniques and scriptures of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Chen Beiwu asked the question that had been lingering in his mind: "What is the Azure Ridge King Serpent?"

Lan Xinyi waved her hand, signaling all the cultivators in the hall to leave, and then spoke: "The Azure Ridge King Serpent is the king of serpents, feeding on thousands of serpents. It contains a trace of ancient poisonous dragon bloodline within its body, with a bloodline grade close to the fifth rank. It is born with the ability to devour all poisons and is an ultimate demon king that can only exist in the deepest core of the Swamp Ruins."

"Two thousand years ago, my grandmaster was traveling in the Southern Wilderness when he accidentally found a nest of Jade King Serpent eggs deep in the swamp. He used a secret method to refine and hatch a young serpent with the purest bloodline, but he was also chased and injured by the king serpent. Not long after returning to the sect, he passed away peacefully."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu became interested.

Although a mythical beast ranked among the Heavenly Generals is precious, it shouldn't have angered the knowledgeable Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons to such an extent.

This Jade Ridge King Serpent must have something unique about it, otherwise a cultivator wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to steal it.

"How much cultivation does that Azure King Serpent possess?" Chen Beiwu pondered.

"The ultimate demon king has possessed nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years," Lan Xinyi said in a deep voice.

In terms of combat strength, she was only slightly superior to the Jade King Serpent, not overwhelming it. It would take her at least dozens of rounds to suppress and capture the latter.

Even if the person who made the move colluded with the sect's higher-ups and knew the habits of the Azure King Serpent like the back of their hand, and was still one of the few half-step Nascent Soul cultivators in the Profound Transformation Realm, it would be difficult to capture the King Serpent silently at the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's mountain gate.

Unless the sect's higher-ups cooperate in administering drugs to render the Jade King Serpent unconscious or significantly reduce its combat power, it will be difficult to achieve the desired outcome.

It was precisely because of this that, upon discovering the King Serpent's disappearance, Lan Xinyi immediately deduced the secrets of heaven and used the sect's grand formation to search for Poison Dragon Ravine.

As a result, the two Golden Core cultivators in charge of raising the Jade Ridge King Serpent also disappeared.

"Take me there to have a look."

Chen Beiwu also wanted to find out who dared to use him.

Outside the Poison Dragon Ravine.

A light mist hung in the air, and the pool was as green as jade. Scattered around the pool were a few pieces of snake scales, which emitted a faint, almost imperceptible aura of a demon king.

Chen Beiwu picked up the scale and glanced at it, then his gaze shifted slightly as he looked towards the jade platform behind the pool.

The jade platform was recessed in the middle, and amber venom could be faintly seen in the pit, which was obviously where the Jade King Serpent usually ate and drank.

Lan Xinyi moved her consciousness, and a drop of amber venom fell into her right hand. She gently inhaled through her nose and then lightly crushed it.

Just as she had discovered using the sect's grand array, the venom in the jade trough was not the problem.

"Ugh!" (It stinks!)

Golden Egg shrank its dragon head, showing particular disgust for the stench that permeated the Poison Dragon Ravine.

Iron Egg twitched its nose slightly, barked softly, and carefully probed and discerned the remaining energy of this place, but found very little.

"Does the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons have any suspected targets?" Chen Beiwu asked bluntly.

The person who made the move was very cautious and left no information behind.

However, within the Xuan Yan territory, very few cultivation forces knew about the Azure Ridge King Serpent and captured it within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

As the leader of a sect, Lan Xinyi couldn't possibly be without suspicion about her target.

"There are three main suspects."

Lan Xinyi looked at Chen Beiwu and decisively ruled out the Jingyue Sect: "First, there is the Huanggu Sect, which has always been a rival of our sect. They have long coveted the Biling King Serpent and have sent cultivators to infiltrate the Poison Dragon Ravine to investigate many times."

"Secondly, there is the Cangmo Sect, which has been huddled in the desert ruins for years but still retains its foundation."

Although the Desert Ruins are treacherous, they are also incredibly barren. The Cangmo Sect cultivators, in order to disrupt the situation in the Xuan Yan Realm and incite conflict between the Wan Du Sect and the Huang Gu Sect, might also target the Bi Ling King Serpent.

"Who is the last one?" Chen Beiwu keenly noticed the apprehension in Lan Xinyi's eyes.

"Thirdly, there is a group of immortal old men lurking in Guixu Mountain."

Lan Xinyi summoned a special mystical treasure to shield herself from the heavenly secrets, then looked towards the western mountain range, took a deep breath and said, "If Guixu Mountain makes a move, the Azure Ridge King Serpent will most likely not be found."

"Isn't Guixu Mountain a place of no return? How could that old codger lurking there make a move against the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"

Seeing Lan Xinyi's seriousness, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.

"The old immortals in Guixu Mountain aren't unable to come out, they just don't want to," Lan Xinyi said in a deep voice. "But if they discover that there is an extreme demon king of nearly the fifth rank within Xuanyan territory, they might very well take action."

"What kind of immortal being is so feared by Sect Master Lan? Could it be a Nascent Soul True Venerable?" Chen Beiwu asked with great interest.

According to Li Xingyuan, those who entered Guixu Mountain were all Nascent Soul True Monarchs whose lifespans were nearing their end, and in principle, they were not worth the fear of the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons.

"Sect Leader Chen also knew about this?" Lan Xinyi was greatly surprised.

Within the Xuan Yan territory, only the strongest members of the Thousand Poisons and Ten Thousand Poisons sects know these secrets, and they are strictly forbidden from being divulged, otherwise they risk death.

"Is there really an ancient Divine Transformation True Venerable within the Xuan Yan territory?" Chen Beiwu's heart tightened, and he became vigilant.

"Not an ancient Nascent Soul cultivator." Lan Xinyi shook her head: "Since the Southern Wilderness Domain severed the connection between heaven and earth, the Nine Realms of the Southern Wilderness have become unsuitable for Nascent Soul True Venerables to cultivate, let alone reach a higher realm."

"After all, although the lifespan of a True Immortal is long, it will eventually come to an end, and he cannot live forever like an immortal."

Some Nascent Soul True Venerables, unwilling to let their cultivation stagnate, chose to enter the depths of Guixu Mountain, sealing their cultivation with secret techniques and slumbering for tens of thousands of years. Their sole purpose was to wait for the great upheaval of heaven and earth to end, for the Dao of Creation to revive, so they could break free and embark on the path of Refining Emptiness anew, rather than wasting their lifespan and watching it run out.

At this point, Lan Xinyi turned her head to look at Chen Beiwu: "However, there are not many Nascent Soul True Venerables in the Southern Wilderness who choose to self-proclaim themselves. Most of them gather in the depths of Guixu Mountain and basically do not concern themselves with worldly affairs."

However, some Nascent Soul True Venerables, after sealing themselves away, experienced a rapid decline in lifespan. They needed to use the bloodline of Creation Beasts as materials to refine elixirs in order to continue locking in their lifespan through secret methods, awaiting the arrival of the Great War.

"These beings occasionally awaken and descend in their Dharma forms to search for Creation Beasts, which has led to a decrease in the number of Creation Demon Kings in the Southern Wilderness."

"Roar!" Woof! "Hah!" "Eek!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling were all startled.

If the True Venerable of the Southern Wilderness uses the Beasts of Creation as his core, wouldn't they be in danger?

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, and the image of the Fighting Demon Ape, which had been sealed within the Heavenly Evolution True Realm and had never been revealed, flashed through his mind.

There is no such thing as self-proclaimed authority without a reason!

Was the Fighting Demon Ape sealing its cultivation to conceal its aura, fearing that if it rashly emerged, it would be refined into pills by the Southern Wilderness's Divine Transformation True Venerable? Or was it quietly waiting for the right time, just to prove itself as a Fifth Realm Demon Venerable?

Chen Beiwu's intuition told him that with the arrogant and fearless nature of the Fighting Demon Ape, it was impossible for it to stay in the Heavenly Evolution Realm just to survive.

After all, the Fighting Demon Ape is a primordial beast born and destined to die in battle.

"Don't worry, only demonic beasts whose cultivation has reached the limit of the Demon King, whose bloodline is special, and who are close to the creation level are likely to be targeted. Ordinary fifth-order Yuan Beasts are not a big concern." Lan Xinyi smiled calmly.

Knowing that fifth-tier Yuan Beasts were not qualified to be pills, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect spent two thousand years cultivating the Azure Ridge King Serpent, intending to hold a feast for immortals. However, an unexpected incident still occurred in the end.

Lan Xinyi now only hopes that the force that captured the Biling King Serpent was not Guixu Mountain, but one of the Huanggu Sect or Cangmo Sect, so that there might still be a chance to retrieve it.

Golden Egg let out a soft roar, feeling that it was being looked down upon.

Only Aji remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Chen Beiwu.

"Even if a Nascent Soul True Venerable were to intervene, he couldn't take you away," Chen Beiwu declared resolutely.

Aji nodded, not too worried.

If they were to truly fight, it might not be able to defeat the True Venerable of Transformation, who is sealed deep within Guixu Mountain and can only send out his Dharma form.

"Sect Leader Lan, why are there no records of the secrets related to Guixu Mountain in the Mirror Moon Sect?" Chen Beiwu did not believe it completely and directly voiced his doubts.
