Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 607 Entering the Heavenly Ruins

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, True Lord Yueshan stepped back and made way for him.

With a score of 6.0 for the Huncheng Stele and 6.3 for the Liangyi Stele, his aptitude is dazzling, even surpassing that of the Jade Palace Cave Heaven's Divine Transformation True Venerable, meaning that his aptitude on the Two Elements Great Dao is equivalent to that of the ancient Dao Seeds.

But True Lord Yue Shan also knew in his heart that aptitude was ultimately just aptitude, not true cultivation level.

Among the many talented and powerful individuals present, his 6.3 compatibility score was only the highest among all those present, not the highest among all those present.

Thinking of this, Yue Shan glanced at Chen Beiwu almost imperceptibly out of the corner of his eye, and the turmoil in his heart gradually subsided.

The worst thing is comparison!

He possessed a high affinity score of 6.0, yet he was unable to cultivate the sect's Primordial Immortal Techniques and was destined to miss out on the Primordial Great Dao.

Chen Beiwu only took a little over a hundred years to cultivate the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique to the Great Perfection level.

In comparison, his 6.0 score for the "Hunchengbei" physique is nothing at all.

Even Yue Shan Zhenjun couldn't help but have a thought:

Even I have a 6-point affinity, could it be that Chen Beiwu's Huncheng Stele has an affinity higher than 7 points, making it a kind of immortal seed for all ages?

Unaware of what Yue Shan Zhenjun was thinking, the crowd saw his calm expression and the lack of joy in his eyes, and couldn't help but admire his character.

The Jade Purity Immortal Sect is indeed full of geniuses, and they are very good at hiding their talents!

Lin Yunlan's eyes flickered slightly as she recalled the face of True Lord Yue Shan.

However, since she was outmatched in terms of compatibility, as a Jade Universe Goddess, she naturally wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter as arguing with a junior.

What truly surprised Lin Yunlan was that, judging from the aura, True Lord Yueshan cultivated earth-elemental immortal techniques and contracted with earth-elemental elemental beasts. Although he had no companions supporting him, his compatibility with the Yin-Yang Dao was extremely high, which violated the Immortal Alliance's method of cultivating immortality by borrowing beasts!

"Wait, something's not right with this result. Try it again."

With a flick of his wrist, True Venerable Xu Jing took out another Heavenly Ruins Stone and handed it to Yue Shan.

Upon hearing this, Yue Shan did as instructed, circulating his internal energy and pouring all his true qi and magical power into the Tianxu Stone.

"Zhouhua Stele's physiognomy score is 3.4, Huncheng Stele's physiognomy score is 5.8, and Liangyi Stele's physiognomy score is 6.0."

As soon as the Venerable Xujing finished speaking, the Heavenly Book Ruins Stele that had appeared in the ancient realm slowly dissipated.

Che Zhengyuan felt a sense of relief.

That's more normal!

Yue Shan is only a Nascent Soul True Monarch. It is already quite exaggerated that he can have a 6.0-point Yin-Yang Stele affinity, which is only slightly inferior to Senior Sister Lin's affinity.

"Senior Xu, I have a question. Why are the results of the two tests so different?" Su Miao Zhenjun asked cautiously.

With the precedent of Yue Shan Zhenjun, she had some doubts about the previous compatibility test results.

"I'm getting old, and my mind isn't quite up to par. I forgot to use the Derivation Method to calculate it again," True Venerable Xujing said frankly.

Upon hearing this reason, not only Su Miao Zhenjun, but all the cultivators present found it utterly absurd.

Lin Yunlan, however, understood the sect leader's personality and was not surprised, believing that the sect leader was using the Jade Purity cultivators to warn the pride of the Cave Heaven.

"Okay, next one."

The True Venerable Xu Jing's gaze fell on Yu Zhaohua, and he revealed a gentle smile.

The daughter of the Daoist Master, she has an extremely noble status.

Even though he is the deputy head of the Jade Universe Cave Heaven, he still has to give him some face.

Soon, the compatibility test results came out.

"The physiognomy of the Pure Yang Stele is 5.0 points, the physiognomy of the Two Elements Stele is 5.9 points, and the physiognomy of the Five Elements Stele is 6.3 points."

As soon as the Venerable Xu Jing finished speaking, Yu Zhaohua frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

She possessed the Fiery Dao Body, but her highest affinity score was only 6.3, which is not considered outstanding even among the ancient Daoist species.

Seeing Yu Zhaohua's reaction, True Venerable Xujing smiled and said, "The result this time is fine. I am not so old and blind as to make two mistakes in a row."

Yu Zhaohua nodded her thanks, looked at Chen Beiwu, and gave up her seat.

Chen Beiwu stepped forward and handed the Heavenly Ruins Stone, which had been infused with the Primordial Truth, to the Void Serenity True Venerable.

"Buzz!"

The ancient mirror shimmered with light, slowly reflecting the celestial inscriptions on the ruins.

Looking at the ancient mirror in his hand, True Venerable Xu Jing raised an eyebrow, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"That shouldn't be the case."

Venerable Xu Jing frowned, raised his eyes to scrutinize Chen Beiwu, his gaze complex.

Upon realizing this, Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat. He wondered what had gone wrong that made the deputy sect leader of Yuyu Cave Heaven appear in this state.

Could it be that he was blessed by the Purple Gold Canopy rank, making his compatibility too high, to the point that even the deputy sect leader of the cave heaven felt it was unbelievable?

"???"

The cultivators present also sensed that something was wrong.

No matter which cultivator was being tested, True Venerable Xu Jing could give the results immediately, but an unexpected situation occurred with Chen Beiwu.

"Strange, why is the sect leader reacting like this?"

Che Zhengyuan was filled with confusion, and even Lin Yunlan, who was watching from the side, felt extremely strange.

As far as she knew, True Venerable Xujing was not the type to keep things a secret.

"Roar?" "Woof?" "Hah?" "Eek?"

Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling also sensed that something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Xu Jing Zhen Zun with searching eyes.

"call.

"

Venerable Xujing exhaled a breath of turbid air, and under the gaze of all the cultivators, he took out another Heavenly Ruins Stone and handed it to Chen Beiwu, saying solemnly, "Try infusing another strand of Primordial True Qi into it."

"Senior, is something wrong?"

While probing, Chen Beiwu channeled his magic power, filling the Heavenly Ruins Stone in his hand.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just want to test it again."

"Buzz!"

Soon, the ancient mirror shone brightly again, revealing the scene of the Heavenly Book Ruins Stele.

Seeing that the result remained unchanged, True Venerable Xujing glanced at Chen Beiwu in surprise and slowly spoke.

"Zhouhua Book's physiognomy score is 5.0, Chunyang Book's physiognomy score is 5.0, Taiyin Book's physiognomy score is 5.0, and Xuanyuan Book's physiognomy score is 5.0."

"The characteristics of the Huncheng Stele are 5.0 points, the characteristics of the Shengsheng Stele are 5.0 points, the characteristics of the Chengfu Stele are 5.0 points, the characteristics of the Zhuanlun Stele are 5.0 points, the characteristics of the Liangyi Stele are 5.0 points — the characteristics of the Wuxing Stele are 5.0 points."

When True Venerable Xu Jing finished speaking, no one spoke; they all looked at Chen Beiwu with surprise and uncertainty.

Are you kidding me? Chen Beiwu's compatibility score is 5.0?

Even if the results of the Tianxu Stone test are only for reference and do not represent the whole picture, this is still far too exaggerated!

What does a score of 5.0 mean? In terms of the corresponding Dao talent, it can barely be called an unparalleled genius, but it is at the very bottom.

Given Chen Beiwu's demonstrated talent in the Primordial Immortal Arts, how could the Huncheng Stele's affinity score be only a mere 5.0?

"Strange, how could it be so low?"

Lin Yunlan narrowed her eyes, unable to hide her disappointment.

"Chen Beiwu's compatibility isn't even as good as mine!"

Che Zhengyuan stood there, stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Could it be another test error?

Yue Shan turned his head to look at True Venerable Xu Jing, wanting to ask for clarification, but someone acted faster, "Senior Xu, is there a problem somewhere?" Yu Zhaohua raised the question immediately.

Only Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a hint of surprise, before accepting it calmly and regaining his composure.

In his view, although five points was a bit low, it was enough to barely maintain his genius persona.

Others may not know, but Chen Beiwu is very clear that he has come this far not only because of his own talent and comprehension, but also because of his hard work and sweat in the Southern Wilderness.

Compatibility is simply not worth mentioning.

"I've tested it twice, how could it possibly be wrong?"

True Venerable Xujing shook his head, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Can----"

Yu Zhaohua was interrupted by Chen Beiwu raising his hand halfway through his sentence.

"Junior Sister Yu, there's no need for that. Senior Xu has already said that the compatibility test results from the Heavenly Ruins Stone are only for reference and are not necessarily accurate."

Chen Beiwu smiled calmly, and the confidence in his eyes made Lin Yunlan purse her lips, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes.

"good."

True Venerable Xu Jing nodded slightly and said with a gentle smile, "I didn't mention the compatibility between the Jade Universe Book and the Void Extreme Stele just now. Aren't you curious?"

"Since you didn't mention it, it means I don't even have a 3 out of 10 compatibility in this area," Chen Beiwu replied.

"Oh, if I were to say that you have an exceptionally high aptitude in this area, and that the Primordial Dao is not suitable for you, would you be willing to become my disciple and cultivate my Jade Universe Immortal Technique?"

The words of True Venerable Xu Jing startled the cultivators present.

Su Miao, Yue Shan, and Yu Zhaohua frowned slightly, wondering what True Venerable Xu Jing was up to.

"What do you mean by this, senior?" Chen Beiwu asked bluntly.

True Venerable Xujing: "Do you know the Dao Body of Void?"

The cultivators present were all shrewd and quick-witted. Upon hearing this, they immediately realized what was happening and focused their attention on Chen Beiwu.

The Dao body is the innate essence, bestowed by Heaven and Earth.

It cannot be obtained through cultivation, nor can it be refined later in life. It can only be brought into the world by carrying the true meaning of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and appear in the descendants of the Dao Venerable of Refining Emptiness.

Among the innate Dao bodies recorded in the Immortal Alliance's classic texts, the Void Dao Body possesses unfathomable power and undoubtedly stands at the very top, comparable to, or even surpassing, the Taiyin Dao Body.

The True Venerable of Emptiness and Stillness wouldn't suddenly bring up the Void Dao Body for no reason. Could it be that Chen Beiwu's physique is special and has some connection with the Void Dao Body?

No, that's impossible!

Che Zhengyuan's pupils contracted, denying his previous guess.

Chen Beiwu came from a poor and impoverished family. His ancestors had no connection whatsoever with the Dao Venerable Immortal Clan. How could he possibly possess the Void Dao Body and be a descendant of the Refining Void Dao Venerable?

Even if Chen Beiwu is a descendant of the Refining Void Daoist, once the Void Dao Body is born, there will inevitably be extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, alarming the great masters who are in seclusion in the Jade Palace Cave. How could he have stayed in Pingchen Township for so many years?

Interesting, could it be—!

Lin Yunlan's heart stirred, and she locked her divine sense completely onto Chen Beiwu, but she couldn't see anything.

"I've only heard some rumors," Chen Beiwu tentatively asked. "Why did you suddenly mention the Void Dao Body, senior? Could it be that my Void Extreme Stele has an extremely high affinity, reaching 7.0 points?"

"It's too low, far more than 7.0 points." Venerable Xujing said with some melancholy.

Those with a compatibility score of 7 are considered to be immortal beings of the ages in terms of their corresponding Dao aptitude.

Such talent is indeed terrifying, and it's worth him actively recruiting him, but it's not enough for him to undermine the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

"The Jade Palace Book has a 6.9 rating in aptitude, and the Void Extreme Stele has a 7.5 rating. It would be a waste of your talent to cultivate the Primordial Immortal Technique with your aptitude."

After careful consideration, True Venerable Xujing promised, "If you do not wish to become my master, you may come to Jade Palace Grotto for further study. I guarantee that you will reach the Nascent Soul stage in three hundred years and become a master of immortal cultivation in five thousand years."

As far as he knew, the highest record holder for the Void Extreme Stele's affinity was only 7.9 points, which came from a Void Dao Body owner from 20,000 years ago.

Now, the owner of the Void Dao Body is a transcendent being whose physical body can traverse galaxies and whose divine sense can reshape the sun and moon, standing at the top of the Immortal Alliance and looking down upon the giants of cultivation.

By analogy, Chen Beiwu's Void Extreme Stele has a compatibility score as high as 7.5, making it one of the top existences among the ancient immortal seeds. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a minor Void Dao Body.

"A compatibility score of 7.5, truly a promising young talent!" Lin Yunlan thought with envy.

Those who can become True Immortals are all extraordinary geniuses with unparalleled talent.

But even with a prodigy like Chen Beiwu, Lin Yunlan still deeply felt the unevenness of the world.

If she possessed the Void Extreme Stele's affinity at this level, why would she have remained at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for three thousand years? She would probably have already followed in her master's footsteps and entered the realm of cultivation giants, becoming the undisputed strongest cultivator below the Void Refinement stage.

Even the True Venerable of Transformation who had forged the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth couldn't help but feel envious at this moment, let alone Yu Zhaohua, Che Zhengyuan and others, who were all in a daze, as if in a dream.

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, senior, but without Yuqing, there would be no junior like me today." Chen Beiwu clasped his hands in a respectful bow, politely declining the offer.

Although the Great Dao of the Void is good, it has long been controlled by the Jade Palace Cave Heaven Refining Void Dao Venerable, just like the Great Dao of Primordial Beginning.

Even if he were to enter the Jade Palace Grotto for further study, he could only choose a branch of the Void Dao to become a Refining Void Dao Venerable, becoming a vassal and subject to the control of the Void Dao. It would be better for him to forge his own path.

"It's up to you, I won't force you."

True Venerable Xu Jing was not surprised. He closed his eyes, casually made a gesture, and opened a passage to the Heavenly Ruins behind him, allowing the cultivators to choose to enter freely.

"Young friend Chen, my honorific title is Dongxu."

On the other side, Lin Yunlan took the initiative to greet Chen Beiwu and asked for his contact information.

Chen Beiwu did not refuse.

If he can establish a relationship with a Nascent Soul cultivator in a cave, it will be easier for him to exchange for high-level resources in the future.

Considering the compatibility issue, Chen Beiwu did not immediately head to the area where the Huncheng Stele was located. Instead, he separated from Yu Zhaohua and the other two and embarked on the spatial passage leading to the Xuji Stele.

Deep within the Heavenly Ruins.

"Buzz".

With a dizzying sensation, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and was greeted by a colossal monument that defied description.

It was about ten thousand feet tall, connected to heaven and earth, seemingly piercing through the entire sky.

If one does not look closely and only uses one's divine sense to examine it, the towering monument appears to have fallen from the sky. The dark light curtain that covers the spatial rift exudes an ancient and mysterious Daoist charm, leaving a deep impression on people.

"Incredible! This is the Void Extreme Stele!"

Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's reaction, Lin Yunlan was not surprised.

These treasures of heaven and earth contain profound truths of the Great Dao, which would move even a Nascent Soul True Venerable, let alone a Nascent Soul True Monarch who is born in harmony with the Great Dao of the Void.

Another person has arrived.

Near the Void Extreme Stele, a tall, upright cultivator in blue robes glanced behind him.

"Brother Xuanwei, it's been a long time." Lin Yunlan greeted him.

Xuanwei Zhenzun nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Beiwu.

At the same time, Chen Beiwu met Xuanwei Zhenzun's gaze and saw the vast aura surrounding the latter, which sounded alarm bells in his heart.
