Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 599 Cang Mo Bows His Head

Why did you run away?

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, and the Azure Spirit Wall in front of him shone brightly, resisting the rapidly increasing binding power within the Mitian Cave.

"If the Fairy of Ten Thousand Poisons is not strong enough, she need not intervene; she can simply observe from the sidelines."

Reminding Lan Xinyi, Chen Beiwu looked up at Huanglong Zhenjun, a long-lost fighting spirit rising in his heart.

Since his cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs he encountered in the Southern Wilderness were as vulnerable as clay chickens and earthenware dogs, and could be easily defeated.

But Huanglong Zhenjun is different!

As fellow half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, Chen Beiwu sensed a dangerous aura from True Monarch Huanglong that was dozens of times greater than that from Fairy Wandu, making him an opponent he could not easily defeat.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, Chen Beiwu did not probe further and directly unleashed the Primordial Dharma Form.

Rumble!

The Dharma image was majestic, manifesting the primordial beginning, and an unparalleled divine power descended, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling did not risk taking action. Instead, they gathered around Chen Beiwu and used their combined power to enhance the power of the Primordial Dharma Image. They forcefully created a world within the Mitian Cave that was independent of the fifth-order great array, thus isolating it from the invasion of the Nine-Evolution Yellow Sand Mitian Great Array.

"What a magnificent celestial Dharma image!"

Huanglong Zhenjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze toward Chen Beiwu was filled with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

The greatest truths are the simplest, and the true way is the same as reality.

The Dharma form forged by the Nascent Soul True Lord contains a true form within and illuminates the vast universe without; it is a manifestation of the Great Dao he has cultivated.

It is precisely because of this that it is almost impossible for Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Southern Wilderness to conceal their auras during their fierce battles.

Both sides only need to glance at each other's appearance to know which sect the other belongs to, which lineage of cultivation they practice, and the foundation of their cultivation.

Therefore, when Huanglong Zhenjun saw Chen Beiwu unleash the Primordial Dharma Image, even with his vast knowledge, he couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement and doubt.

The reason is simple: the tallest Dharma image cast by the patriarchs of the Cangmo Sect throughout history was no more than 16,666 zhang.

Huanglong Zhenjun, as the most talented and powerful man in the Cangmo Sect in the past ten thousand years, forged the Cangmo Dharma Image at the Nascent Soul Zhenjun stage, which was as tall as 13,333 zhang, second only to the sect's founding ancestor and the fifth generation ancestor. He can be called the best in the realm and can almost stand out from the heroes in the realm.

However, the majestic Dharma image standing before him at this moment was truly exaggerated. Its ancient origin, mysterious appearance, dignified presence, and profound charm were simply beyond comprehension.

That's fine, after all, the Mirror Moon Sect is inherited from the ancient Taiyi Dao Sect, with a profound foundation. It is possible that some of its later disciples are geniuses who can cultivate the ancient Taiyi Dao methods and forge the Taiyi Dharma Image.

What truly shook Huanglong Zhenjun to his core and made it hard for him to accept was the sheer magnificence of the Taiyi Dharma Image before him, which stood a towering 52,000 feet tall!

What does this mean?

Before such a majestic Dharma image, even the Heavenly Gang Dharma images forged by the successive patriarchs of the Cangmo Sect are as weak as children and not worth mentioning, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator who has not yet attained the Dao Transformation True Venerable.

With such a terrifying foundation, could this child be the reincarnation of an ancient immortal cultivation master? Or perhaps the Taiyi Daozun—

True Lord Huanglong dared not think any further. He immediately suppressed his killing intent, revealed a kind smile, and stopped activating the Nine Transformations Yellow Sand Heaven-Covering Array.

In an instant, the ninety-nine yellow dragons lowered their heads and closed their eyes, and the binding force that had enveloped the Mitian Cave dissipated with a roar.

"???"

Noticing this, Lan Xinyi frowned slightly and looked warily at Huanglong Zhenjun, wondering what he intended to do by suddenly stopping.

Chen Beiwu, through his Heavenly Heart Sensing, keenly sensed that Huanglong Zhenjun no longer harbored much killing intent.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenwu's profound abilities are formidable; I, an old man, readily admit defeat."

As the yellow sand beneath Huanglong Zhenjun's feet settled, he clasped his hands in a salute to Chen Beiwu: "Regarding the Azure Ridge King Serpent, it was due to my seclusion and cultivation that I failed to properly discipline my disciples, leading them to act on their own and offend both of you. I am willing to apologize for Zhai Cang's capture of the Azure Ridge King Serpent."

"Sect Leader Chen and Sect Leader Lan, please feel free to ask for any compensation you desire. Although Cangmo Sect is located in a remote corner, it still possesses considerable resources and should be able to meet your needs."

At this point, True Monarch Huanglong flipped his wrist, and an ancient talisman appeared above his palm.

The talisman was 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. It was entirely yellowish-brown and seemed to be made of dragon skin. The surface of the talisman had patterns like sand waves or the flow of earth veins, layer upon layer, vaguely outlining the seal script character "敕" (chì).

This—this is a fifth-tier killing talisman, the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand Talisman!

Upon seeing the true form of the talisman and sensing the immense Daoist aura contained within it, Lan Xinyi felt a chill run down her spine.

The Southern Wilderness has undergone a great change, and the essence of creation has been incomplete for 100,000 years.

Even though the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect has a True Venerable of the Transformation God in charge, they are unwilling to expend the Daoist essence of creation to draw a fifth-order Yuan Talisman.

Therefore, the fifth-order Yuan Talismans in the Southern Wilderness are becoming increasingly rare. The high-ranking members of various sects are all relying on their existing resources and are unwilling to use such a treasure comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul True Venerable unless it is a matter of life and death.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect used to have fifth-tier heavy weapons and fifth-tier Yuan Talismans as its foundation to protect its mountain gate. However, it could not avoid a great calamity. In order to defeat external enemies, the sect's foundation accumulated by its ancestors was gradually depleted. It could only rely on the sect's great formation to protect itself.

"First, he abandoned his pride to apologize, and then he took out a fifth-order Yuan Talisman to increase his deterrence. It seems that this old guy really doesn't want to fight anymore!"

Lan Xinyi's mind raced, and she subconsciously looked at Chen Beiwu, signaling him to agree.

With her keen mind, she knew that the reason why Huanglong Zhenjun's attitude had changed so drastically was probably because he was wary of Zhenwu Zhenjun, who came from the Jingyue Sect and had a powerful Dharma appearance.

"Huh?" (They've already voted?)

The golden egg blinked its dragon eyes, quite surprised.

Woof! (This is clearly a protest!)

Tie Dan remained serious and vigilant.

The fifth-order Yuan Talisman is incredibly powerful. If True Monarch Huanglong were to unleash it at any cost, the entire Cangmo Sect's mountain gate would be razed to the ground, but the master's life absolutely could not be threatened in the slightest.

"Huh?" (Should we just give up now?)

Schiller swallowed hard and suggested in his mind.

Zhiling looked at Chen Beiwu, quietly waiting for his decision.

"Can."

Chen Beiwu put away the Primordial Dharma Image, nodded slightly, and remained calm.

Although he was not afraid of Huanglong Zhenjun's threat, he was unwilling to waste his fifth-order Yuan Talisman on Cangmo Sect.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Huanglong felt a sense of relief.

It's good that we can talk.

If negotiations fail, then he will have no choice but to abandon his sect's foundation and spend a huge sum of money to try to suppress and kill Zhenwu Zhenjun and Zhenwu Zhenjun with the Nine Transformations Yellow Sand Heaven-Covering Array and the Nine Curves Yellow Sand Talisman.

Lan Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also afraid that Master Chen would refuse.

Peace talks would be best. Although the Jade King Serpent is valuable, it is not as important as one's own life.

"Senior Huang, you must know just how precious the Jade King Serpent is."

Lan Xinyi pondered for a moment and said, "My request is not high. Senior Huang only needs to send back a drop of King Serpent's Heart Blood and a Cang Shen Pill, and this matter will be settled."

Even if the Feast of the Immortals cannot be held, the King Serpent's blood will still be of great use to her.

The Azure God Pill is the treasure of the Azure Desert Sect, with a value similar to that of a portion of the essence of the Azure Ridge King Serpent. It can help a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch break through the limits and enter the half-step Divine Transformation realm.

Even a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator can use the Azure God Pill to compensate for the deficiency in their Earth element spiritual root, allowing the five elements of their nascent soul to stabilize, strengthening their origin, and increasing the probability of achieving the Five Elements Returning to the Origin.

"This little girl certainly dares to speak up." Huanglong Zhenjun's eyes narrowed.

The Azure God Pill is a fourth-grade supreme-quality profound pill. Including the collection of the main and auxiliary ingredients, the sect needs 1,500 years to refine two batches. Each batch yields one to two pills, and if luck is bad, there may be no harvest at all.

Now, there are only two Azure God Pills left in the sect's treasury. They were prepared by him for his disciple, True Monarch Zhai Cang of the Sand Sea. With each pill used, there will be one less left.

But looking at Chen Beiwu, who was calm in the distance, Huanglong Zhenjun forcibly suppressed his anger.

Fine, let's just assume he used the Azure God Pill and the Nine Deaths to exchange for a Jade Ridge King Serpent.

Thinking about it that way, it's not such a bad loss after all.

"Can."

At this point, True Monarch Huanglong turned his gaze to Chen Beiwu: "Sect Master Chen, to express my apologies, I am willing to acknowledge Jingyue as my superior sect and present you with a Dragon Ascension Pill."

While it is difficult for dragon bloodlines to advance, they can use elixirs as a ladder to transform their bloodlines.

The Ascending Dragon Pill is a fourth-grade supreme-quality pill developed by the Cangmo Sect based on the essence and blood of the Fuyuan Dragon. It can greatly help dragons advance in their cultivation and purify and transform their internal bloodline.

There just happened to be a three-headed dragon with 7,999 years of cultivation by Zhenwu Zhenjun's side, so presenting this pill would be most appropriate and would also express his sincerity.

"That's not enough. Besides the Dragon Ascension Pill, I also need a drop of the life essence blood of the Subdued Abyss Dragon."

Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly, causing Huanglong Zhenjun's heart to sink.

This child has a huge appetite!

Even with the Azure King Serpent as a sacrifice, he could only extract nine drops of his life essence, which were almost as good as creation, from the Fu Yuan Qiu Long.

To avoid running out of his life essence, he deliberately spared the life of Fuyuan Qiulong, activating the Cangmo Secret Technique to stimulate its life potential, allowing it to reach its full potential and travel through the earth's veins to see if it could condense another drop of its life essence.

"The essence of the dragon is of great use to me. Sect Leader Chen, could you offer me some compensation?" Huanglong Zhenjun frowned and said, "I am willing to offer a fifth-tier killing weapon as compensation."

"They're even willing to give up a fifth-tier heavy weapon?"

Lan Xinyi raised an eyebrow, surprised by Huanglong Zhenjun's generosity.

Unexpectedly, the next second, under her surprised gaze, Chen Beiwu shook his head and refused Huanglong Zhenjun's suggestion.

"Either give me a drop of Fu Yuan Qiu Long's life essence blood, or let's fight right now."

At this point, Chen Beiwu flipped his wrist, and a talisman appeared in his palm. It was the Divine Firmament Demon-Slaying Talisman bestowed by the sect leader back then, and its power was comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As for which Nascent Soul True Venerable this strike was comparable to, that's a matter of opinion.

After all, a Nascent Soul True Venerable who can catch the eye of the Jade Purity Sect Leader is not comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul in the Southern Wilderness.

Wow, this is the foundation of the ancient Taoist sects!

Huanglong Zhenjun and Lan Xinyi felt a sharp pain between their brows as soon as they probed with their divine senses. In a daze, they seemed to hear thunderous explosions in their ears, and a sense of great terror rose in their hearts.

This is definitely a fifth-order Yuan Talisman!

Moreover, it is a fifth-order Yuan Talisman, far superior in rank to the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand Talisman!

Is it a mid-grade fifth-order Yuan Talisman, or a high-grade fifth-order Yuan Talisman?

Huanglong Zhenjun forcibly suppressed the throbbing nascent soul in his sea of ​​consciousness, and for a moment he could not determine the specific grade of that fifth-order talisman.

However, through his spiritual perception, he could tell that once Zhenwu Zhenjun unleashed this fifth-order Yuan Talisman, even with his numerous means of self-preservation, he would be doomed and would have no ability to resist.

"Sect Leader Chen, there's no need for that. I'm willing to give it to you," True Monarch Huanglong exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Although he knew that True Martial Lord would most likely not use that fifth-order Yuan Talisman, the Dharma form and trump cards that the latter had shown had already explained something.

The other party is definitely an ancient being who has been reborn through possession and resurrected in this era. However, due to the flaws in this world, his cultivation level is unable to reach the Nascent Soul stage again.

Given time, as the Great Array of Heaven and Earth Breaking Down becomes ineffective and the four regions of the Southern Wilderness become connected, the opponent will surely be able to regain the status of a cultivation giant, and may even have a chance to glimpse the Void Refining Realm.

In this way, it might not be a bad thing that the Cangmo Sect could become a disciple of the Jingyue Sect!

Thinking of this, Huanglong Zhenjun couldn't help but have a fleeting thought.

The Cangmo Sect does possess the insights into the Nascent Soul stage passed down orally from generation to generation of patriarchs.

However, those insights into the Nascent Soul stage were profound and obscure, far beyond the comprehension of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, let alone any sudden enlightenment.

Even with his exceptional talent and a thousand years of studying the sect's insights on Nascent Soul transformation, he still couldn't see any possibility of becoming a True Venerable. He could only place his hopes on the Creation Elixir obtained from ancient relics.

However, if an ancient master of cultivation were willing to share his secrets and insights on how to attain true immortality, with his talent, he might be able to attain true immortality in this era!

However, to avoid exposing his secrets, True Monarch Huanglong had no choice but to suppress his thoughts. With a wave of his sleeve, four streams of light landed in front of Chen Beiwu and Lan Xinyi respectively.

"This is my sincerity," Huanglong Zhenjun said wearily.

"Senior Huang, you're too kind. Let's leave the matter of the king snake behind."

Lan Xinyi's expression softened as she put away the Azure God Pill and the King Serpent's Heart Blood.

With these two, even if the Dao of creation is incomplete and she cannot condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth, she can still become the strongest among the half-step Nascent Soul cultivators by using the sect's secret technique of pseudo "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Elements Returning to the Origin".

After scanning the bottle with his divine sense and confirming that there was no problem with the essence blood and the Ascending Dragon Pill, Chen Beiwu turned around and walked out of the Mitian Cave, leaving behind two sentences: "Unless necessary, the Mirror Moon Sect will not interfere in the internal affairs of its affiliated sects."

"But I need to take stock of the Cangmo Treasury and determine the cultivation resources that the Cangmo Sect pays tribute to every ten years."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Huanglong remained calm: "The sect's treasury is usually managed by my disciple Zhai Cang. If Sect Master Chen needs anything, he may take it at will without informing me."

A good bird chooses its tree to perch on.

Although he valued the sect's legacy, it was nothing compared to his own future path in cultivation.

Seeing this, Lan Xinyi activated her escape light and followed closely behind Chen Beiwu, preparing to bid farewell and return to her sect for seclusion.

The reason is simple: in the Southern Wilderness, strength ultimately prevails.

In the past, the sects in the Profound Realm were able to live freely and be self-sufficient because they were located in remote areas with scarce resources, and were simply not worth the attention of the Nascent Soul sects.

However, the situation has changed now. Even the Mirror Moon Sect has set its sights on the resource-poor and difficult-to-pass Xuan Yan Realm, indicating that the major cultivation forces in the Southern Wilderness Region have entered a "breeding poison" mode.

Under these circumstances, without sufficient strength, she would definitely not be able to protect the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!

"Go."

Chen Beiwu nodded and readily agreed.

His current strength is far from sufficient to contend for supremacy in the Southern Wilderness.

After browsing through the treasure vault of the Cangmo Sect, he will also begin his seclusion to prepare for the breakthroughs of the Golden Egg and Schiller, as well as the most crucial creation of the technique, laying the foundation for his Nascent Soul stage.
