Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 616 Yuanshi Daozun

Deep within the Heavenly Ruins.

The vegetation is sparse, and birds and beasts have disappeared.

A gray stone tablet stood quietly on the barren land, unremarkable and without any sign of vitality.

Avenue to Jane.

Unlike the Xuji Stele and Zhouguang Stele, which are ruins, the Huncheng Stele does not exhibit any unusual phenomena or exude any Daoist charm; it is like a stone that can be seen anywhere.

If it weren't for the futons placed in front of the stele proving that this was the place to comprehend the Ruins Stele, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Immortal Alliance might have missed it.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, and a white-haired young cultivator opened his eyes, glanced at the newcomer, then closed his eyes slightly, immersing himself in the Daoist rhyme of the Ruins Stele, without the slightest ripple, treating Chen Beiwu as if he were nothing.

Why is the area in front of the Huncheng Stele so deserted!

Chen Beiwu glanced around and found that apart from the white-haired youth, there were only three other cultivators present.

One was an old Taoist priest dressed in simple clothes, with his eyes closed in deep thought; another was a square-faced cultivator with an imposing presence; and the third was an elegant female cultivator dressed in palace attire.

With the help of the Nine Breaths Absorption Technique, Chen Beiwu could not discern the cultivation levels of the four individuals, but he could roughly determine from their Qi Luck and Position that they were all at the Nascent Soul True Venerable level.

"Little one, what's this? You don't actually want my position, do you?"

The elegant female cultivator opened her eyes at the opportune moment and smiled gently.

"Senior, you misunderstand. I found you quite familiar, so I took a few more glances," Chen Beiwu said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator smiled, not surprised at all: "You're an array master?"

After attaining the Dao and transforming into a True God, she remained in seclusion for many years and rarely went out. Many of the younger generation of the Immortal Alliance were unfamiliar with her appearance and deeds.

But if it's a formation master, then it makes sense.

As a renowned fifth-tier superior Yuan Array Master in the Immortal Alliance, she has published countless array-related classics in the Immortal Alliance, so it is not surprising that she has encountered a fellow practitioner in the Heavenly Ruins.

"Yes, I have studied the 'Three Enclosures and Four Symbols: Twenty-Eight Mansions Creation Array Diagram', 'Myriad Manifestations of Emptiness: Disorderless Array Explanation', and 'Dustless and Boundless Heavenly Town Sealing and Unsealing Array Diagram' compiled by my predecessors. At that time, I was amazed by the Yuan script recorded in them." Chen Beiwu did not hold back his praise.

There are very few masters of array formations in the Immortal Alliance, and the Venerable Yu Wanqing, who stands before him, is the recognized master of array formations in the Immortal Alliance's array formation textbooks for nearly a thousand years.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least one-third of the theoretical foundation of the array formations that Chen Beiwu cultivated from childhood to adulthood was laid by the True Venerable Xu Huai, who also established the basic theory and even the classification standards for array formations.

"You can read Yuan script?" Yu Wanqing's eyes flickered, showing interest.

Normally, there are always talented individuals from the Immortal Alliance who offer her a ride under the pretext of mastering array formations, but she always ignores them.

The reason is simple: most of these cultivators are opportunistic and not true geniuses who are deeply immersed in the Dao of Arrays.

However, in Chen Beiwu, Yu Wanqing only exchanged a few simple words and yet she could vaguely see some of the characteristics of a genius in the Dao of Arrays, and even faintly sense the aura of a low-grade Yuan Script.

"This is the Heavenly Ruins, not a reception hall. If you two wish to exchange pleasantries, you are welcome to go outside for a chat," the square-faced cultivator suddenly reminded him.

"Who is this senior?"

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing the malice in the square-faced cultivator's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the latter didn't give him any face and simply closed his eyes without paying any attention to Chen Beiwu.

"This is the Supreme True Venerable."

Yu Wanqing spoke in a kind tone, easing the atmosphere.

She then glanced at the square-faced cultivator and addressed him by his name: "Zhuo Xuanyu, you are not destined to understand the Huncheng Stele. If you can't comprehend it, you can't comprehend it. Why take your anger out on a junior?"

"If you're really bored, how about we have a match?"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme True Venerable kept his eyes closed and said calmly, "I'm too lazy to bother with you."

Yu Wanqing shook her head slightly, too lazy to pay attention to Zhuo Xuanyu, and turned to Chen Beiwu: "Don't worry, although his personality is unpleasant, he won't attack the younger generation casually."

She herself rose from humble beginnings, so she naturally knew the fear and apprehension that a Nascent Soul True Monarch held towards a Divine Transformation True Venerable. She couldn't help but add a sentence to avoid any unpleasantness between the two.

"I understand," Chen Beiwu said with a calm smile.

There are plenty of eccentric cultivators in the Immortal Alliance, so he won't let such a trivial matter bother him.

The only thing that intrigued him was just how difficult it was to comprehend the Huncheng Stele, that it could make a Nascent Soul True Venerable so agitated that he couldn't maintain a clear mind.

"The Huncheng Stele encompasses everything, unlike other ruin steles, making it easy for cultivators to lose their composure and become lost within it without realizing it."

Noticing Chen Beiwu's gaze, Yu Wanqing reminded him, "A Nascent Soul True Monarch must be extremely cautious when studying this stele."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Chen Beiwu clasped his hands in a salute and stepped toward the prayer mat in front of the monument.

While encountering a master of array formations, a subject frequently mentioned in the Immortal Alliance's cultivation textbooks, was certainly rare, it was the Daoist aura contained within the Huncheng Stele that truly captivated Chen Beiwu.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

As Chen Beiwu took three steps, the unremarkable Huncheng Stele suddenly trembled slightly.

"This is???"

The four Nascent Soul cultivators present were all among the strongest, so how could they not sense where the strange movement of the Huncheng Stele was coming from?

The old Taoist priest, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, opened his eyelids and looked sharply at Chen Beiwu, using one hand to perform divination.

"So that's how it is. It's Yuqing's generation of Golden Book lineage, a master of the Primordial Immortal Arts. No wonder it could cause the Huncheng Stele to resonate subtly." The old Taoist thought to himself.

The Nascent Soul True Venerable could deduce the exact nature of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs that came into view by using simple cause-and-effect relationships.

But he couldn't quite figure out Chen Beiwu.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, Chen Beiwu was unaware that he was still the focus of everyone's attention at the Nascent Soul stage. He only felt the Primordial Golden Core within his body emitting an uncontrollable vibration.

Soon, as the Primordial True Essence continued to circulate within Chen Beiwu's body, the Huncheng Stele not far away began to radiate light, stirring up some ripples.

These ripples spread rapidly outwards, past the old Taoist priest and the powerful figures like Yu Wanqing, and continued until they reached Chen Beiwu, forming a straight road leading directly to the base of the monument.

"Is achieving mastery of the Primordial Immortal Arts so highly sought after?"

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Xuanyu felt a complex mix of emotions.

The Primordial Great Dao already has a ruler, but it encompasses everything.

The reason he studied the Huncheng Stele was to cultivate the unique Taiyi Dao.

However, the Great Dao is difficult to achieve. He spent sixteen years meditating before the Huncheng Stele, but gained very little and had few insights.

Chen Beiwu did nothing, but his mere presence around the Huncheng Stele triggered a reaction from the Ruins Stele. Such outrageous treatment was no exaggeration; he could be considered a favored son.

Such talent as a banished immortal is truly rare!

The white-haired youth's eyes brightened slightly as he focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique to comprehend its meaning.

Because the Daoist essence is not apparent and there are no tests, the Huncheng Stele is almost the most difficult to comprehend among the nine Ruins Steles.

Now that Chen Beiwu has appeared, he has triggered the manifestation of the Daoist charm of the Huncheng Stele, and he can take this rare opportunity to comprehend the great Daoist charm carried within the Ruins Stele.

The other three Nascent Soul True Venerables were also quick to act, immediately using Chen Beiwu's power to carefully observe the Primordial Great Dao.

"I never expected that I would have to owe a favor to a junior like him," Zhuo Xuanyu thought to himself.

One yard owned by a yard.

Although he felt somewhat awkward, he had to admit that without the opportunity created by Chen Beiwu, it would have been difficult for him to glimpse the primordial Daoist essence through the Huncheng Stele.

He must repay this favor in the future!

On the other side, Chen Beiwu closed his eyes slightly, immersed in the Primordial Daoist Rhyme, and stepped towards the Huncheng Stele.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

-

With each step Chen Beiwu took, the path ahead would automatically ripple with primordial Daoist energy, forming a series of white jade steps right beneath his feet.

There are only nine steps on the jade staircase, but they lead to the top of the Huncheng Stele.

Is this a resonance of Daoist principles, paving the way as steps?

Zhiling's eyes were bright, knowing that Beiwu must have gained a lot this time.

Under the guidance of the Huncheng Stele, Chen Beiwu gradually entered a state of enlightenment and began to continuously draw upon the primordial Daoist essence contained within the Ruins Stele.

To be on the safe side, Chen Beiwu initially only activated and refined a wisp of primordial Daoist essence as a test.

"Buzz!"

Immortal arts are difficult to cultivate, but there are always exceptions in this world.

As the second and third strands of primordial Daoist rhyme surged into his dantian, Chen Beiwu's entire body, bones, flesh, soul, and golden core seemed to be replenished by an invisible primordial Daoist rhyme, causing the primordial golden core within his body to exude a natural perfection that seemed to be "as it should be."

At that very moment, under Chen Beiwu's gaze, the Huncheng Stele suddenly disappeared, replaced by a Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon overlooking the heavens and earth.

As his gaze met that of the Primordial True Dragon, Chen Beiwu's Purple Mansion burned, and lines of ancient seal script appeared deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

In the beginning of chaos, the primordial origin was the root. Formed through countless eons, it is fundamentally one.

[By refining one's body from the primordial energy of countless eons, the body becomes indestructible, and the constitution immortal. Only when these two are inseparable can one achieve the goal of enduring countless eons.]

Under the blessing of the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Law, the Primordial Golden Core within Chen Beiwu's body hummed, his bones cracked, and his flesh and blood transformed, beginning to forge the Primordial Myriad Tribulations Body. A severe pain, unbearable even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, also descended upon him.

"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"

Sensing something was wrong, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling immediately activated the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique to help Chen Beiwu complete this transformation.

Aji did not hesitate at all, and used the power of the four seasons to its fullest extent to replenish the vast magical power needed to forge the Primordial Myriad Calamities Body.

Perhaps a day has passed, or perhaps a year has passed.

When Chen Beiwu regained consciousness, he felt that the power within his body was inexhaustible, almost enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

This is not an illusion!

Inside the dantian, the Primordial Golden Elixir radiated pure golden light. The Primordial True Qi contained within it was not only extremely pure, but also contained more than ten times the previous amount of powerful true qi.

Within Chen Beiwu's Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, his Nascent Soul grew exponentially, nearly reaching the size of a ten-year-old child. A Primordial True Dragon pattern emerged between his brows, emanating boundless Primordial Daoist charm.

Primal Eternal Body, formed!

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and felt an unprecedented power within his body, which filled him with a surge of pride.

The so-called half-step Nascent Soul cultivators of the Southern Wilderness were like ants in his eyes at this moment.

Even if he were to face the True Venerable of the Southern Wilderness, he would be confident that he could put up a fight, rather than being powerless to resist.

Suddenly, Chen Beiwu realized something was wrong. He had clearly mastered the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique to its ultimate level by using the true meaning and Daoist charm of the Huncheng Stele, but now he was unable to move and could not fully control his body.

What's going on?

Just as Chen Beiwu was feeling surprised, his nascent soul in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly sensed something and abruptly looked up.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a ray of light.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted, and he saw a magnificent celestial palace suspended in the boundless void within the radiant light.

The gates of the celestial palace opened, revealing a jade platform inside.

On the jade platform sat a being whose existence defies description.

His posture was casual, with his hands resting naturally on his knees, like any ordinary cultivator from the Immortal Alliance, yet he possessed a pair of eyes that Chen Beiwu couldn't take his eyes off.

Before those eyes, Chen Beiwu instinctively felt a sense of unease, a terrifying perception created by the difference in dimensions.

The primordial beginning can be divided into five great entities, and can also transform into three origins.

The Five Greats are the tangible principles, the foundation of all transformations: the Great Change, the Great Beginning, the Great Origin, the Great Simplicity, and the Great Ultimate.

The Three Origins are the beginning, the root of all spirits, which can be the Primordial Chaos, the Crimson Primordial Chaos, or the Still Primordial Chaos.

These eight great paths are all connected to the primordial beginning, yet each has its own distinct path.

Now that you have achieved the Primordial Myriad Tribulations Body and have been guided into the Great Luo Heaven by the Uniform Stele, you can be considered to have a destiny with me. You may choose one of these eight Great Paths to specialize in and touch upon the Great Path of Refining Emptiness.

As soon as that being finished speaking, the Primordial Daoist Rhyme surged, spontaneously condensing into eight lines of ancient seal script that constantly changed, allowing Chen Beiwu to choose whichever he wanted.

Left side: [Taiyi: The Ultimate of Emptiness], [Taichu: The Beginning of Origin], [Taishi: The Beginning of Form], [Taisu:]

The Foundation of Reality—【Tai Chi: The Ultimate of Existence—】

Right side: [Primordial Chaos: Before Qi takes form, it is hidden in nothingness—], [Red Primordial Chaos: When it manifests, it is contained within redness—], [Silent Primordial Chaos: When Qi returns to stillness, it is hidden within the origin—]

As soon as Chen Beiwu's gaze fell upon the ancient seal script, the true meaning of the Great Dao permeated the air, revealing to him the supreme Dao contained within it.

Among these eight Great Daos, the true meanings of three of them are extremely similar to the rudiments of the Great Daos that Chen Beiwu comprehended by studying the Nine Great Ruins Steles.

No, to put it bluntly, the Great Daos he conceived, such as Yuanxu and Zhongyan, were merely regurgitation of the ideas of his predecessors. The Immortal Alliance already had powerful figures who had explored and developed more complete and systematic Great Daos of Refining Void.

As for Yu Tai's identity, Chen Beiwu already had a guess in his mind.

Because he once asked the Jade Moon Protector a question: how to determine if one's own path of cultivation has a master?

The answer from the Jade Moon Protector was quite simple: with cultivation comes the Great Dao, everything becomes clear in one's heart, and one can attain the Dao's power and energy.

In a flash, Chen Beiwu bowed slightly and said, "Disciple of Yuqing greets the Daoist Venerable."

"Um.

"6

Yuanshi Daozun nodded slightly, not surprised.

Now that things have come to this, even someone as stupid as a pig would recognize his identity.

Moreover, Chen Beiwu is no fool; he is a prodigy in the Jade Purity Golden Book sequence and a potential Dao Venerable seed for the future.

"The Great Dao of Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Hundong, and Jiyuan are all compatible with you, and you have the potential to refine your Void. The Great Dao of Taisu, Taiji, and Chihun are next in line."

The Primordial Daoist Master prompted, "I wish to impart to you the Great Dao of Tranquility and Origin; are you willing to learn?"

He usually teaches his disciples not to specify the Great Way, but to let them discover it for themselves and find their own Great Way.

However, Chen Beiwu has a special aptitude and the highest degree of compatibility with the Dao of Tranquility. Even if he does not eventually reach the Void Refinement stage, he can still achieve immortality in the eyes of a True God Transformation Venerable.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu took a deep breath and respectfully asked, "May I ask you a question?"

"ask."

"Daoist Venerable, since the Primordial Chaos originated from the Primordial Beginning, how does it compare to the Primordial Great Dao?" Chen Beiwu asked frankly.
