Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 624 Alarms the Nascent Soul Stage

Thank you.

The Fighting Demon Ape reached out and grasped half of the Primordial Dao Aura.

It knew very well that if it hadn't invested early, it wouldn't have been able to obtain even half of the Primordial Dao Rhyme by simply relying on the Heavenly Star Path as a condition.

This deal allowed them to take advantage of Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu then got down to business: "I am familiar with some concealment formations and spirit-gathering formations, which may be of some help to you."

"Isn't the time allotted for setting up the formation too short? I need to start my breakthrough within an hour at the latest," said the Fighting Demon Ape.

"The time was a bit rushed, but I have some fourth-order transparent array plates in my storage ring, which will come in handy to some extent," Chen Beiwu pondered.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Next, I need to focus all my efforts on breaking through to the Demon Lord level."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes in the dark pillar slowly disappeared, and the pressure emanating from them grew increasingly overwhelming.

"Buzz!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's divine sense stirred slightly, activating the Fire Essence Seal within his sea of ​​consciousness, and he took out numerous array plates from his storage ring to begin setting up an array.

Thanks to the blessing of the Fire Essence Seal, Chen Beiwu set up the formations at an extremely fast speed, completing three fourth-order top-grade formations in just half an hour.

As for a fifth-order low-grade Yuan array, Chen Beiwu's current array mastery is insufficient to set it up.

Even though he had received guidance from the Venerable Master Xu Huai and possessed numerous fifth-order array diagrams and explanations, he still had no hope of success.

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

Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling were not idle either; they all mobilized their true magical power to help Chen Beiwu set up the formation.

Jin Dan and Aji, who were not skilled in array formations, focused intently on observing the changes in the fighting demon ape's energy, hoping to gain experience in proving their path.

One day, two days, three days —

As time passed, the sky grew dark and gloomy, with only the muffled roar of spiritual energy constantly illuminating the entire Heavenly Evolution Realm, filling it with an indescribable pressure.

Sensing this aura, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

It seems that attaining the fifth realm of the Dao and becoming a demon lord is more difficult than he expected. Even with the powerful bloodline of the Fighting Demon Ape, it still takes time to slowly ignite the ancient power hidden deep within his body.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Thunder roared and lightning flashed.

Chen Beiwu looked up and saw that the sky above had changed dramatically. The pitch-black Battle Qi and the colorful spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged together, turning the clouds into an inverted furnace that caused the surrounding temperature to soar.

Such extraordinary celestial phenomena are indeed rare.

With a thought, Chen Beiwu activated a fourth-order ultimate formation to conceal part of the strange phenomena surrounding the Heavenly Evolution True Realm, lest the surge of spiritual energy become too great and affect the True Realm, attracting the attention of powerful figures outside.

"Eek?" (How long will this strange phenomenon last?)

Zhiling turned her head to the side and said.

"It could take ten years, or it could take a hundred years, who knows?"

Chen Beiwu smiled, and while using his divine sense to explore his surroundings, he closed his eyes and began to deduce the new law for the future.

While the Fighting Demon Ape was seeking a breakthrough in his cultivation realm, he naturally couldn't fall too far behind.

On the other side, in the Profound Realm of the Southern Wilderness.

Deep in the Guixu Mountains.

A thick white mist hung in the air, and the wind howled like thunder, as if the dragon veins hidden deep within the mountains were breathing.

At the key node of the dragon vein, there is a hidden cave covered by layers of mysterious ice.

This cave is not large, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding area is not abundant, especially compared to the cave in the forbidden zone of Guixu Mountain.

However, compared to the deeper areas outside the restricted zone, it is a rather nice self-contained place.

Inside the cave, an old man with a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and closed eyes lay on an ice coffin.

This person's name is Yan Changxing, and his honorific title is Hanyan Zhenzun.

Han Yan Zhenzun came from the Tianhan Sect, a major immortal cultivation sect in Beiyan, and was the last Nascent Soul True Venerable recorded in Beiyan.

Although his cultivation level was not considered the pinnacle among those who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, he was a powerful figure who had once suppressed the Northern Yan demon race and led the Tianhan Sect to successfully dominate the Northern Yan realm.

However, with the mysterious disappearance of True Venerable Hanyan, the Heavenly Cold Sect, which lost its leader, experienced severe internal strife, which greatly diminished the prestige of the major human cultivation sects in the Northern Yan Realm, and they were gradually suppressed by the forces of the demon race.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the ice coffin trembled slightly, and the old man inside opened his eyes.

Yan Changxing looked down at his dantian and found that the restriction that should have been maintaining its operation had cracked open.

"This self-sealing method indeed has many problems." Yan Changxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

He shouldn't have woken up at this moment!

According to the self-sealed secret method, his next awakening should be ten thousand years later.

By then, the Daoist energy of creation within the Southern Wilderness Region will have begun to recover, and may even be gradually becoming stronger, enough for a True Venerable in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm to continue cultivating.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a fluctuation came from the restrictions outside the cave.

Yan Changxing's eyes flickered as he looked at the aged figure outside the cave.

"Master Ye, it's been many years, but you still retain your charm."

Yan Changxing poured a cup of tea for the guest, speaking warmly.

As fellow cultivators of Guixu Mountain, he was no stranger to Ye Qiling, and even quite wary of him.

The reason is simple: Dou Shu Zhen Zun Ye Qi Ling's cultivation is unfathomable and extremely mysterious. The Dou Shu Locking Star Array he created can seal his lifespan, primordial spirit, golden core, physical body and cultivation, allowing the Nascent Soul True Venerable to ignore the ravages of time and fall into silence along with the Daoist rhythm of creation.

Therefore, in Yan Changxing's eyes, Ye Qiling is very likely an ancient immortal who has attained the Dao of the Nascent Soul stage in ancient times, with a cultivation level of at least the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul stage, or even a cultivation giant who deliberately concealed his identity and changed his name.

"My seeking you here is due to a fortuitous encounter," Ye Qiling said frankly, taking a sip of tea.

"The Dao of creation is incomplete. I only wish to seal myself away deep within Guixu Mountain, unwilling to participate in the affairs of the outside world, and quietly await the great changes in the world." Yan Changxing politely declined.

There are no good things in this world without a reason.

If there were truly an opportunity outside, Ye Qiling would probably have already taken action. How could she possibly be thinking about him? She must have some ulterior motive.

Ye Qiling gave Yan Changxing a half-smile: "Without the bloodline of a Creation Beast, how long can Fellow Daoist Yan maintain his self-sealing technique?"

"With my cultivation level, maintaining this state for another five thousand years is not difficult," Yan Changxing said calmly.

Ye Qiling smiled slightly, not exposing Yan Changxing's true intentions, but instead offering a bait: "There is a Creation Beast outside that is currently proving itself to the Dao of Demon Venerable. Since Fellow Daoist Yan is not interested, I will seek another to cooperate with."

"Wait, fellow Daoist, please wait."

Yan Changxing called out to Ye Qiling, a look of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Compared to the many beings of Guixu Mountain, he had the least experience and cultivation.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators possess profound foundations and can disregard the bloodlines of Creation Beasts, but he cannot.

Even though he knew that the opportunity that Dou Shu Zhen Zun had offered him was fraught with risks, he still had to ask about it.

"What kind of extraordinary beast is worth Fellow Daoist Ye's attention?" Yan Changxing probed.

"Fighting Demon Ape"

Upon hearing this, Yan Changxing's pupils shrank sharply. While a sense of greed arose in his heart, he became even more wary.

It was actually a once-in-a-millennium creation beast!

If he could extract the essence of such a ferocious beast, he would surely be able to replenish his lifespan, seal himself away for another ten thousand years, and wait for the arrival of the golden age of cultivation.

"Before you've reached the fifth rank of Demon Lord, a mere Fighting Demon Ape is probably no match for Fellow Daoist Ye. Why don't you take it?" Yan Changxing's tone softened.

"That Fighting Demon Ape is no ordinary creature. It has always been hidden in a true realm and never appears in the world. It also has a concealment technique to hide itself. It is extremely cautious in its actions, unlike a demon ape at all."

Ye Qiling chuckled and said, "If it weren't for my slight knowledge of divination and my ability to observe the stars at night, I'm afraid I would have been fooled."

"If Fellow Daoist Ye were willing to take action, he could probably take him down in the blink of an eye," Yan Changxing flattered.

"That's natural." Ye Qiling nodded and said matter-of-factly, "It's just that my true self is still sealed, and I won't break out of the seal for a Fighting Demon Ape."

Understanding the unspoken meaning in the other party's words, Yan Changxing fell into deep thought: "What does Fellow Daoist Ye want?"

"The primordial spirit and essence of the Fighting Demon Ape."

"I also need your essence and blood."

"Then let's drop this matter. A fighting demon ape that is about to enter the Demon Venerable realm will be of interest to many Nascent Soul cultivators." Ye Qiling stood up calmly and turned to leave.

"Wait, I can give you the essence blood, but the entire complete body of the Fighting Demon Ape must belong to me, otherwise this matter is over." Yan Changxing stated his bottom line.

He knew that this trip was bound to be dangerous, and might even contain part of the schemes of the True Venerable Dou Shu.

However, there is nothing in this world that is completely risk-free; only cultivation level is the foundation for a cultivator's existence.

After obtaining the flesh of the Fighting Demon Ape, his cultivation level, which had been gradually declining due to self-sealing, could be basically stabilized, and he could also use a secret technique to seal himself for ten thousand years.

Compared to this opportunity, a little risk is nothing.

To put it bluntly, if it were something impossible, Dou Shu Zhen Zun wouldn't have specifically sought him out.

"Okay." Ye Qiling smiled and readily agreed.

Yan Changxing, however, looked grave and inquired about the location of the Fighting Demon Ape.

After a long while, once everything was discussed, Yan Changxing activated his escape light and left under Ye Qiling's gaze.

This journey is fraught with peril. While the Fighting Demon Ape is indeed precious, it's not worth the risk this old man has taken."

Dou Shu Zhen Zun performed divination with one hand, his expression remaining calm.

For him, whether the matter succeeds or fails is of no great importance.

He simply wanted to take this opportunity to see whether that Daoist had completely perished or had been reincarnated and was about to be reborn, waiting for the four regions to be connected and the Daoist essence to be restored.

Ancient texts state: All things can arise spontaneously, but Taiyi cannot be surpassed.

Dou Shu Zhen Zun's eyes were deep, and a hint of awe flashed in them.

If Chen Zi'ang, the True Martial Lord, is not the reincarnation of that being, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.

Conversely, to be on the safe side, all his plans must avoid this person and the Earthly Realm, otherwise, great disaster will surely follow.

On the other hand, as time passed, the strange phenomena that formed within the Heavenly Evolution Realm became increasingly terrifying, to the point that space itself began to distort.

If Chen Beiwu hadn't set up the formation in advance, the Heavenly Evolution Realm might not have been able to withstand it, causing a portion of the space to collapse, resulting in the outflow of strange phenomena and attracting the attention of the major immortal cultivation sects in the Earthly Evolution Realm.

"Interesting, very interesting. The secret realm left behind by a mere junior actually holds great secrets."

Outside the Heavenly Evolution True Realm, spatial ripples surged, revealing a handsome young man in white robes and a beautiful female cultivator.

The former was none other than the Celestial Craftsman True Venerable, who had sent an avatar to Diyan to discuss the Southern Wilderness region's situation and form alliances with the high-ranking members of the five factions of Diyan.

The latter is Su Lanyue, who has reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

"Ancestor, could there be some hidden treasure in this True Realm?" Su Lanyue asked cautiously.

"I don't have any treasures, but I do have a ferocious beast." The Celestial Craftsman smiled.

That ferocious beast was indeed formidable, daring to attain the Dao of a Demon Lord in such a weak True Realm, and even concealing all the strange phenomena arising from its attainment.

If it weren't for the fact that this space happened to be distorted, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible aura, even if his clone were located within the Earthly Derivation Realm, he would have had difficulty detecting the slightest abnormality.

A ferocious beast?

Su Lanyue frowned slightly, her interest waning considerably.

Although ferocious beasts are treasures from head to toe, at her level, she no longer values ​​the spiritual materials on them.

The only thing that could move her was rare and precious natural treasures that could help her achieve godhood.

Seeing Su Lanyue's reaction, the Heavenly Craftsman True Venerable's expression turned serious: "Don't underestimate that ferocious beast. If its blood is used properly, it may help you to attain the Dao and become a god."

"!!!"

Su Lanyue's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes showed undisguised surprise.

"You must remain calm in the face of important events, otherwise how will you be able to overcome that hurdle in the future?"

The Celestial Craftsman made a sound, then casually tore open the void of the Celestial Evolution Realm, forming a spatial passage, completely ignoring the rule that "those above the Golden Core Realm cannot enter."

Su Lanyue was not surprised by this at all.

Although the True Realm created by the Nascent Soul True Monarch contains a portion of the rules of heaven and earth and can restrict the existence of beings in the same realm, it is as useless as a mere illusion in front of the Divine Transformation True Venerable.

Even if the ancestor is not his true form now, but only an avatar, it makes no difference.

"Eek!" (A powerful figure has arrived!)

On the other side, Zhiling paused, keenly sensing the spatial changes in the Heavenly Evolution Realm, and immediately issued a warning.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, finished the deduction of the new law, and showed no surprise.

If the old immortal hidden in the Southern Wilderness is truly as powerful as the Fighting Demon Ape claims, it would be difficult for the Demon Ape's concealment techniques during its path to enlightenment to be completely foolproof.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu glanced at the dark pillar behind him, but he couldn't see what was inside at all.

"Buzz!"

The next instant, a streak of light entered the range of Chen Beiwu's divine sense.

One of the people inside the escape light was weak and insignificant, while the other sensed Chen Beiwu's location through divine sense.

"The True Master of Heavenly Craftsmanship".

Chen Beiwu murmured, and the streak of light instantly crossed space and landed not far ahead, revealing two figures.

"Chen Zi'ang?" Su Lanyue's eyes narrowed.

There had been no news of Chen Zi'ang within the Diyan Realm for many years; it turned out that he was hiding in seclusion in the Tianyan True Realm.

As she pondered the matter, Su Lanyue's gaze shifted slightly, sweeping towards the dark pillar behind Chen Beiwu. She was immediately overwhelmed by its aura, and her face turned pale.

"What kind of ferocious beast is this?"

Su Lanyue's nascent soul in her sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and her mind went blank.

At the critical moment, the Celestial Craftsman stepped forward and stood in front of Su Lanyue to shield her from the demonic ape's aura.

Throughout the entire process, Su Tianhe never looked at the dark pillar, but kept his eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.

"This place is the true realm of my sect. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Celestial Master, please return."

Chen Beiwu looked up and stared directly at Su Tianhe, his expression calm.

"If I do not return, what will you do?"

Su Tianhe spoke gently, without any air of divine authority.

"Then I shall perish here," Chen Beiwu said solemnly.

? ? ?

Su Lanyue was stunned, her eyes showing surprise.

However, after a hundred years, Chen Zi'ang has become so arrogant, threatening a Nascent Soul True Monarch with a Divine Transformation True Venerable, saying that he would die if he did not retreat. This is no different from seeking death.

But the next second, the ancestor's reaction was even more unbelievable to Su Lanyue.
