Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 602 Heavenly Book Ruins Stele

"Try it and you'll know."

Looking at the golden egg that knew nothing, Chen Beiwu smiled and took out the Southern Wilderness Mystic Arts from his storage ring, including "Mountain Opening and Heaven Splitting Technique", "Ten Thousand Poisons Refining True God Transformation Method", and "Great Azure God Refining Method Elephant True Scripture".

These mystical techniques vary in grade and attribute, containing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, making them worthy of being used to test the new mystical abilities of the Golden Egg's awakening.

"roar."

Golden Egg shook his head, instinctively feeling that it wouldn't work.

Its intuition told it that although the Furnace Technique was powerful and could forge all techniques and evolve true meaning, it could not create something from nothing and could not use a copy without the true meaning of the technique to perform the technique.

So that's how it is. It can only be refined from the original cultivation method, or from the cultivation method passed down by the practitioner with true intention.

Noticing this, Chen Beiwu was not surprised. He put away the fundraising materials and took out five ancient jade slips, placing them into the mouth of the golden egg.

The golden egg immediately closed its mouth, activated the furnace to perform profound magic, and made a "crunching" chewing and swallowing sound.

"Woof?" (Did it work?)

Tie Dan's eyes showed anticipation.

The golden egg swallowed the jade slip in its mouth, then blinked its dragon eyes and carefully felt the flow of true qi in the furnace within its body.

"Roar." (The process of performing the spell takes time; it's still being developed.)

Seeing the looks on his friends' faces, Golden Egg gave an awkward smile.

It had eaten the food, but its mind was still blank, and it had no understanding of the cultivation techniques. Instead, a warm current was constantly surging within its internal furnace.

"That's normal. Creating and developing new laws is not a simple matter. Take it slow."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, not in a hurry.

Whether it's the Immortal Alliance or the Southern Wilderness, every complete Nascent Soul cultivation technique needs to undergo a long period of testing, and may even need to be improved by the younger generation of geniuses through cultivation.

"Eek?" (Approximately how long?)

Zhiling asked curiously.

"Roar." (Unknown.)

Jin Dan lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said.

Chen Beiwu swept his divine sense into the depths of the golden egg's Dharma vein.

Besides the profound abilities developed through the furnace, the golden egg also awakened the unique profound abilities of the three dragon species, with little change in its innate and elemental veins.

As for Schiller, his eyes were closed as he continued to refine the fourth-tier Xuan medicine from the Southern Wilderness, and he had not yet begun to break through to the next realm.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu opened the restrictions on Huncheng Peak, and his figure instantly appeared outside the peak.

"Junior brother, I have good news."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Chuan couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"What good news?"

Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly as he suddenly recalled the Three Elements Adventure he had triggered with his Qi Luck Divine Power.

True Monarch Jiangchuan didn't keep them in suspense and said bluntly, "The sect's higher-ups have decided to grant you a spot in the Heavenly Ruins."

"Could it be Tianxu, one of the four wonders of Tianyuan Star?" Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up.

He had read many of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's classic texts and learned that the Heavenly Ruins were closed year-round, belonging to the entire Immortal Alliance, and jointly managed by the five Great Grotto-Heavens. It was a top-tier place for enlightenment that only True Venerables of the Immortal Alliance were qualified to enter.

Rumors are even circulating on the official website of the Immortal Alliance that the depths of the Heavenly Ruins contain the secret of the Void Refinement that countless cultivators of the Immortal Alliance desire but cannot obtain!

"That's right."

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun's expression turned serious, and he said with undisguised envy in his eyes, "Junior Brother, you must cherish this hard-won opportunity. If it weren't for the decree issued by the Great Luo Heaven, which said that the world would change, only the Immortal Alliance's Nascent Soul True Venerables would have been qualified to enter the Heavenly Ruins in the past."

"What exactly is inside the Heavenly Ruins?" Chen Beiwu asked humbly.

Although the sect's records mention Tianxu, they only mention it briefly and do not provide much detail.

"Among the Qingming Peak lineage, only Master has ever entered the Heavenly Ruins."

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun shook his head: "Master is currently in seclusion. If Junior Brother wants to know what exists inside the Heavenly Ruins, he will probably need to pay an audience with the Sect Leader."

"There are many peerless True Monarchs in the sect eyeing the Heavenly Ruins quota. I'm here today only to remind you, Junior Brother, so that you don't miss it because of your seclusion."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun turned to leave.

"Senior brother, please wait."

Chen Beiwu called out to Jiang Chuan, asking about the mysterious transformation technique of Qingming Peak.

"Mysterious transformation method?"

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Beiwu with surprise.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"Junior brother, you don't cultivate the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Techniques, so why are you suddenly interested in the Azure Sea Transformation Mystic Techniques?" Jiang Chuan asked, voicing his doubts.

The Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique ranks third among the thirty-six Primordial Immortal Techniques of Jade Purity, possessing unfathomable power. Even within the Five Great Grotto-Heavens, it is an unparalleled immortal technique.

Although the Azure Sea Transformation Mystic Technique is powerful, it is insignificant compared to the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique.

"The Great Dao of Primordial Beginning is difficult to achieve. I think I can gain some insights by observing the mysterious methods of sects." Chen Beiwu did not reveal too much.

The reason is simply that creating the Divine Transformation Technique at the Nascent Soul True Monarch stage is far too astonishing!

Even the five great prodigies of the Immortal Alliance only considered creating their own Divine Transformation Techniques and forging their own unique path after their lifespans had increased dramatically.

"With your comprehension, Junior Brother, you should indeed study the sect's secret techniques extensively." Jiang Chuan's doubts vanished, and his gaze towards Chen Beiwu became somewhat complicated.

He was merely an ordinary person; he exhausted all his time and energy just to cultivate a single technique and nurture a single beast.

Not only him, but most of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Immortal Alliance are like this. In order to attain the Dao of the Four Elements before their lifespan ends and lay the foundation for the Divine Transformation, they must specialize in one path and cannot be distracted.

Such an all-around cultivator as my junior brother, who contracts with multiple beasts, cultivates multiple techniques, and is also exceptionally talented in swordsmanship, is extremely rare.

"Before going into seclusion, Master left all the secret techniques of transformation to Senior Brother. If you are interested, Junior Brother, you can certainly go and visit Senior Brother."

.

At this point, Jiang Chuan changed the subject and suggested, "But no matter how many secret techniques the Qingming lineage has, they cannot compare with the many secret techniques of the sect."

"Given my junior brother's current ranking in the Jade Purity Golden Book, he is fully qualified to view the thirty-six Primordial Chaos Immortal Techniques. Perhaps he can gain some inspiration from them. Why should he care about the Heavenly Grade Techniques within the sect?"

Chen Beiwu: "————"

"It's hard to climb to the top in one step," Jiang Chuan, the senior brother, was really confident in himself.

All thirty-six Hunyuan Immortal Techniques of Yuqing are supreme methods, directly pointing to the Great Dao of Refining Emptiness.

If he wants to use the thirty-six Hunyuan Immortal Techniques as a foundation to create his own supreme technique, he probably needs to reach the Nascent Soul Refining and Void Transformation realm at least, otherwise it will be a waste of effort.

After bidding farewell to Senior Brother Jiang Chuan and confirming that Xue Le would not break through in the short term, Chen Beiwu activated his escape light and headed straight for the Yuqing Palace.

Unlike before, Chen Beiwu was stopped by a girl with delicate features as soon as he reached the top of the solitary peak.

"Greetings, Protector Xuandu." Chen Beiwu bowed slightly.

The higher one's level of understanding, the more one comprehends the vastness of the universe.

Before the Xuan Du Protector, his meager cultivation was no different from that of an ant.

"Is there something wrong, Protector Xuandu?"

Noticing the way Protector Yuyue was looking him up and down, Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine.

He had already laundered most of the mystical medicines he used for breakthroughs through channels between the two worlds.

Could it be that the Golden Egg's rapid ascension to the ultimate Demon King realm has aroused suspicion in Protector Jade Moon?

What do you think of me?

As a fragrant breeze wafted over, Chen Beiwu noticed a pair of large, bright black eyes appear before him, and the Jade Moon Protector's delicate nose almost touched his cheek, causing his heart to tighten.

"Eek!" (What are you doing!)

Zhiling widened her eyes, stretched out her pink and tender palm, and blocked Yuyue's cheek to prevent the two from getting close.

"What do you mean, 'how'? Protector Jade Moon, you can speak frankly if you have something to say."

Chen Beiwu took a step back, creating some distance.

He would not underestimate the Xuandu Protector in front of him because of his youthful appearance and petite figure.

To become a protector of Yuqing Xuandu, one must be at least a fifth-realm demon lord, and most likely one of the best among demon lords.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Protector Yuyue were to appear in the Southern Wilderness, she would be an unparalleled demon lord who could easily slaughter the Eight Desolate Sect, the Heavenly Saint Sect, and other Nascent Soul forces. She cannot be estimated by common sense.

Yu Yue wrinkled her pretty nose.

She didn't like beating around the bush, and poked her cheek with her finger: "So, what do you think of me?"

"His aura is extraordinary, his appearance is unparalleled, his cultivation is formidable and unfathomable." Chen Beiwu chose the safest answer.

Yu Yue gave a soft hum, the corners of her mouth curving upwards: "Although it's the truth, it doesn't sound like a compliment at all; it sounds more like coaxing a child."

After saying that, she blinked, stood on tiptoe, and patted Chen Beiwu's shoulder: "I want to ask you for a favor?"

"My cultivation is limited. Even Protector Yuyue couldn't do it, so I'm afraid I can't either—" Chen Beiwu looked troubled.

With the Azure Crane Protector usually keeping him in check, he didn't notice anything unusual.

However, since Protector Qinghe did not appear today, Protector Yuyue was perhaps being too enthusiastic.

When you offer a gift, you must have something in mind.

Chen Beiwu instantly recalled the Heavenly Ruins quota decided by the sect's higher-ups.

Sure enough, the next second, Protector Yuyue's voice rang out: "I want to enter the Heavenly Ruins, and you can definitely help me with that."

"Tayue, don't be rude."

Just then, the figure of the Azure Crane Guardian appeared and dissuaded him.

Chen Beiwu: "————"

The Azure Crane Protector didn't come earlier or later, but appeared at this exact moment, which clearly shows his attitude.

"But there's only one spot available at the Heavenly Ruins. How can I help?" Chen Beiwu asked, his expression unchanged.

"It's very simple. If we hold a ceremony to celebrate our participation together, you can take me into the Heavenly Ruins," Protector Jade Moon said frankly.

The Covenant of Mutual Exploration is the foundation of the Immortal Alliance's cultivation through the use of beasts.

However, if the difference in cultivation levels between the two parties is too great, forcibly establishing a co-cultivation contract would be more harmful than beneficial, especially for the weaker party. Therefore, the Immortal Alliance has the co-cultivation ceremony.

The Ceremony of Fellowship is not a contract, but a ritual that can be recognized by the Immortal Alliance.

If we consider the signing of the Tongcan contract as marriage, then the power of Tongcan is equivalent to engagement.

In ancient times, many Nascent Soul True Venerables would travel the world with the Five Realms Demon Venerables through the ritual of fellowship, and finally form a fellowship contract to cultivate life and death together and jointly cultivate the Great Dao.

"???"

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, quite surprised.

Reality is indeed more bizarre than fiction, and it doesn't follow any logic at all!

In order to enter the Heavenly Ruins, a dignified fifth-realm demon lord actually rushed to establish a fellowship ceremony with him.

The bell trembled, clearing away distracting thoughts, and for a moment Chen Beiwu didn't know how to refuse.

If he didn't possess the Nine-Breath Chaos Treasure, he would gladly accept Protector Jade Moon's proposal.

Because he was able to have the Jade Moon Protector as a fellow practitioner during an era when the Refining Void Daoist was absent, he could have easily roamed the Immortal Alliance and used the power of the Demon Lord to attain the Dao and become a deity.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world!

Possessing the Nine-Breath Chaos Treasure, the Jade Moon Protector was an extremely unstable and terrifying existence that he could not contend with at all.

"Even as a protector of Jade Moon, you can't enter the Heavenly Ruins?" Chen Beiwu changed the subject.

Not all questions need to be answered; sometimes, not answering is also a form of answer.

"You could get in before, but you can't now."

Yu Yue pouted, clearly dissatisfied with the decision to allow the Great Luo Heaven to exist.

But taking advantage of this opportunity, she could stay by Chen Beiwu's side and use her supernatural powers to "see clearly the special attraction that Chen Beiwu possessed."

If her suspicions are true, even if she gains nothing from this trip to the Heavenly Ruins, she may still be able to take control of the Great Dao and become a Primordial Great Demon in the future.

Interesting, this kid is actually unwilling.

Qinghe's eyes flickered slightly, discerning Chen Beiwu's thoughts.

Even the most powerful cultivators in the Immortal Alliance might not be able to resist the temptation of forming a co-cultivation contract with Yu Yue. It is truly rare that a mere True Monarch prodigy would have such willpower!

"Buzz".

Just then, the Jade Purity Gate opened, and a beam of light guided Chen Beiwu into the hall, causing Yu Yue to react and look at Qinghe.

"Am I being rejected?" Yu Yue asked incredulously.

"You're only finding out now? Your reaction is a bit slow." Qinghe shrugged, his tone helpless.

"Damn it, they actually look down on me!"

Yu Yue clenched her fists, puffed out her cheeks, and then muttered to herself, "No, I have to make him agree."

On the other side, the Jade Purity Sect Leader turned around and looked at Chen Beiwu, who had a calm expression.

"Guardian Jade Moon is always impulsive, you've worked hard."

"You flatter me, Sect Leader."

Chen Beiwu shook his head and inquired about the important matters concerning Tianxu.

Even Protector Yuyue values ​​the Heavenly Ruins quota so much, which shows how precious the qualification he obtained is.

"Tianxu is an extremely peculiar world, containing the primordial Daoist essence from the beginning of time."

The Jade Purity Sect Leader carefully chose his words, introducing the subject in language that a Nascent Soul True Monarch could understand: "But merely possessing innate Daoist charm is not enough to warrant the attention of the Great Luo Heaven."

"Deep within the Heavenly Ruins, the truly precious treasures are the Five Heavenly Books and the Nine Ruins Steles."

"Among them, the Five Great Heavenly Books originated from the Nine Ruins Stele, which were left by the founders of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens after observing the Ruins Stele, and they carry the Five Supreme Great Daos."

The Jade Purity Sect Leader solemnly asked, "Those who enter the Heavenly Ruins and gain insight into the Five Heavenly Books mostly end up becoming disciples of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens. Do you know why?"

Chen Beiwu: "This disciple does not know."

"It's very simple. The Great Dao is hard to come by. The Great Dao contained in the Five Heavenly Books has always been missing. Whoever can comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Books will have the hope of unlocking the secrets of the Void Refining stage and taking control of the Great Dao of the Heavenly Books."

"And if you want to cultivate the Five Great Heavenly Books, there is no place more suitable than the Five Great Grotto-Heavens."

At this point, the Jade Purity Sect Leader pointed out: "You cultivate the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique, and now is a crucial time. Studying the Five Great Heavenly Books will not be of much use to you. What will truly help you is the Huncheng Stele, one of the Nine Ruins Steles."

"The true meaning of this stele is most in line with the Primordial Great Dao of our sect. If you can comprehend it, you can forge the Primordial Myriad Tribulations Body at the Nascent Soul stage, and even unravel the mysteries of the Divine Transformation stage and understand the principle of the law of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu fell into deep thought.

If his goal is simply to become a True Immortal, then continuing to cultivate the Primordial Great Dao and comprehending the Huncheng Stele would indeed be the best choice.

However, his ambition was to refine emptiness, and the Huncheng Stele was not his only option.
