Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 635 Daoist Master's Finger

Stepping onto the Tianyuan River, Chen Beiwu instinctively felt a sense of control, as if it were his own arm.

His intuition told him that with just a thought, he could manipulate the power of the entire Tianyuan River by circulating the "Tianyuan Melting Emptiness and Absorbing Reality Returning to the Original Dao Scripture".

Faced with this immense power, even a Nascent Soul True Venerable would have to retreat.

"I wonder if I'm capable of defeating a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Venerable now?"

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the river at his feet, his thoughts wandering.

"Hey!" (It's a pity this Tianyuan River can't be taken out!)

Schiller looked regretful.

While the "Heavenly Abyss Melting Emptiness and Absorbing Reality Returning to the Original Dao Scripture" is powerful and can utilize the power of the Heavenly Abyss River, it also has an unavoidable drawback:

That is, it needs the blessing of the Tianyuan River to unleash the full power of this supreme Dao technique.

It is precisely because of this that, under normal circumstances, the strength of the "Heavenly Abyss Melting Emptiness and Absorbing Reality Returning to the Original Dao Scripture" is similar to, or even slightly inferior to, the Jade Purity Immortal Method.

Aji's divine sense swept across the area, reaching towards the opposite bank.

Because of the suppression of the Heavenly Star Land, the range of its divine sense was greatly reduced. In addition, with the constant surging of the Heavenly Abyss River, the scene that came into view was pitch black.

"We only need 45 minutes to cross the Tianyuan River," Chen Beiwu said calmly.

After mastering the basics of the Heavenly Abyss Daoist Technique, the suppression of him by the Heavenly Star Land was no longer as strong as before, and instead began to gradually weaken.

Thanks to this, Chen Beiwu was able to vaguely perceive the quiet island in front of him, which covered an area of ​​about a hundred miles.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Three-quarters of an hour later, almost the instant Chen Beiwu stepped onto the island, ancient seal script characters surged into his mind.

These seal characters are profound and obscure, extremely rare, and completely different from the script passed down in the Southern Wilderness of the Immortal Alliance. However, they exude a special Daoist charm, allowing Chen Beiwu to understand their meaning immediately.

[Qualification: Peerless]

[Clearance time: Nine months]

[Exceptional comprehension, suitable for the Tianyuan Dao Sect's Daoist successor sequence, bestowed with one fifth-tier Yuan Dan [Yuanzhen Dan]!]

As the seal script dissipated, a ray of light suddenly burst forth from the void in front of Chen Beiwu, and then slowly condensed into a white jade bottle.

Is this spatial teleportation or creation from nothingness?

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted, and for a moment he couldn't tell what kind of supernatural power this was.

If it's the former, that's fine. It means that the Tianyuan Dao Sect still has its foundation, and the sect's ruins are functioning normally. He might be able to inherit this part of its foundation after passing the Tianyuan Trial.

If it is the latter, it means that even if the Daoist Master Lianxu perished, the great power he left behind was far beyond his imagination, and he could rewrite reality at will, as inconceivable as a creator.

"good."

Chen Beiwu reached out and grasped the jade bottle. Suddenly, a voice of approval came from beside him: "With your aptitude, it is not difficult for you to become a True Venerable. The difficulty lies in how you will bear the Great Dao in the future. The Heavenly Abyss Great Dao has been suspended for many years and is extremely compatible with you. If you can successfully pass the trial and inherit the lineage of the Dao Venerable of my sect, you will have hope of reaching the Void Refinement stage in the future."

"You flatter me, senior."

Chen Beiwu smiled modestly and asked about the effects of Yuanzhen Pill.

"Although the Yuanzhen Pill is a mid-grade fifth-rank Yuan Pill, it is a treasure of our sect, and its effects are comparable to those of a high-grade fifth-rank Yuan Pill."

Yuan smiled calmly: "Once the pill enters the stomach, it will allow the user's essence, energy, and spirit to fully manifest and take shape, greatly increasing the probability of attaining the Dao True Venerable, and at the same time significantly enhancing the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth."

The three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit are the foundation of the true deity's law of heaven and earth, and also the core of the nascent soul true lord's desire to attain the true deity.

In ancient times, Yuanzhen Pill was a renowned Nascent Soul Pill in the Southern Wilderness. Even Nascent Soul True Venerables might not be able to obtain it; only the high-ranking members of the nine major Dao Sects were qualified to purchase it.

nice one!"

Chen Beiwu quickly put away the jade bottle.

Although he already had a Heaven-Reaching Pill, no one would complain about having too many Nascent Soul Pills.

"The second trial of the Heavenly Abyss is extremely difficult. Before we attempt it, I can fulfill part of my previous promise and use the waters of the Heavenly Abyss River to cleanse the three-headed dragon's body, helping its bloodline return to its innate state and reach the pinnacle of creation," Yuan said, getting down to business.

"Senior, could we change the terms?" Chen Beiwu asked tentatively.

"Oh, you don't trust me?" Yuan looked at Chen Beiwu.

"It's not that I don't trust you, senior, but the golden egg's cultivation period is short, and the matter of bloodline transformation needs to be carried out gradually."

Chen Beiwu changed the subject: "This junior would like to change the condition now. Does the senior possess any rare and precious materials that can help the bloodline of the dragon undergo further transformation?"

"It will be difficult for you to pass the second trial of the Heavenly Abyss Trial on your own." Yuan Shen glanced at Chen Beiwu: "But with my help, your three-headed dragon may be able to undergo a bloodline transformation and reach the fifth realm of demon lord in one fell swoop, thus lending you a hand."

"Such an opportunity, are you sure you want to give it up?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Dan took a deep breath, and all three pairs of dragon eyes looked at Chen Beiwu without uttering any doubt.

"I'm sure," Chen Beiwu said without hesitation.

The Path of Heavenly Stars is a place of profound enlightenment, fraught with danger. A slight misstep could lead to being plotted against and schemed against, so he naturally had to be cautious.

"Can."

Yuan nodded slightly and pointed his index finger at Tianyuan River.

Rumble!

Unlike Chen Beiwu's manipulation of the Tianyuan River, this time the waves surged, with countless streams of Tianyuan True Water rising into the sky, forming a colossal wave that blotted out the heavens and earth, radiating an incomparably violent aura that sent a chill down the spines of the golden eggs and the others.

"凝".

Yuan opened his palm, his five fingers slightly closed, and the colossal, sky-covering waves of Tianyuan instantly split in two.

One is ethereal and transparent, while the other is solid and dark yellow.

The two intertwined like swimming dragons, surging wildly into Yuan's palm, and then slowly forming a dark black pill that emitted a faint fragrance.

"roar!"

The golden egg growled, its gaze unconsciously fixed on the black pill, its eyes filled with longing.

"This is the Heavenly Water Pill, a pure essence I refined from the waters of the Heavenly Abyss River. It can cleanse the physical body and transform the bloodline."

At this point, a deafening dragon roar resounded, and a hazy phantom of a true dragon appeared on the surface of the black pill, before slowly disappearing.

"Woof."

Tie Dan looked on with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Whether it was a misperception or not, as the phantom of the true dragon dissipated, it noticed that the Heavenly Water Pill in Yuan's palm had gained more spirituality and the aura of the true dragon.

"The Heavenly Water Pill is extremely dangerous; it is a highly poisonous substance. If ingested directly, even a Fifth Realm Demon Venerable could die suddenly."

Yuan smiled slightly and took the initiative to explain: "However, things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes. After I use my original energy to awaken and nourish this pill, it will no longer be a highly poisonous pill, but a fifth-order Yuan pill that can enlighten the bloodline of the True Dragon Seed."

At this point, Yuan flicked his finger, and the Heavenly Water Pill instantly tore through space and landed in front of Chen Beiwu.

"By simply taking this pill, the three-headed dragon will undergo a bloodline transformation. This is my sincerity."

"Thank you, senior."

Looking at the black pill floating in front of him, Chen Beiwu took it with both hands.

The fact that the Purple Gold Canopy did not issue a warning indicates that there is most likely no problem with this Heavenly Water Pill.

However, to be on the safe side, he decided to go through the Chaos World again when he returned to the Immortal Alliance, so that everything would be foolproof.

After all, it concerns the bloodline of the Golden Egg, so he could not be too cautious.

"No need for formalities. As far as I am concerned, your ability to pass the second trial of the Heavenly Abyss, inherit the Heavenly Abyss lineage, and obtain control of the Heavenly Abyss True Dragon Cauldron is the greatest gratitude I can express."

After saying this, Yuan shook his head slightly and disappeared.

Although Chen Ziang was powerful and cultivated the way of beast taming, without the help of a demon lord-level companion beast, it would be almost impossible for the five demon kings to pass the second trial.

In Yuan's view, it wouldn't be long before Chen Zi'ang would voluntarily give the three-headed dragon the Heavenly Water Pill, just to increase the probability of passing the Heavenly Abyss Trial.

"roar?"

Seeing the golden egg's eager eyes, Chen Beiwu quickly put away the Heavenly Water Pill.

It's one thing for ordinary realm breakthroughs to happen, but his and the Golden Egg's major realm breakthroughs must be attributed to the Immortal Alliance, otherwise it's hard to explain.

Seeing this, the golden egg reluctantly withdrew its gaze and looked ahead.

Waiting is fine; the most important thing right now is the Heavenly Abyss Trial.

Guided by the surrounding stone tablets, Chen Beiwu strode towards the depths of the island.

Before long, a colossal bronze stele reaching to the heavens and the earth came into Chen Beiwu's view, emanating an indescribable terrifying aura.

What is this thing?

Chen Beiwu breathed deeply, his mind clearing away distracting thoughts and forcing himself to calm down.

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

At the same time, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji all looked at the bronze giant stele with fear and apprehension, as if facing a formidable enemy.

In their eyes, the bronze monument was not an inanimate object, but a living thing imbued with spirit.

"Buzz!"

As if sensing the gazes of Chen Beiwu and his group, the bronze stele trembled slightly, spewing forth light that formed ancient seal script characters.

[Tianyuan Trial]

[Second Challenge: Face the Heavenly Abyss Daoist and Survive]

[Time Limit: None]

[Failure Penalty: None]

【————】

Upon noticing the seal script information, Chen Beiwu's eyelids twitched.

I'm attacking the Refining Void Daoist Venerable?

Are you kidding me? This is a trial that humans can set up!

Chen Beiwu glanced at the giant bronze stele, already intending to leave.

If crossing the Tianyuan River is a difficulty level of 1, then facing the Refining Void Daoist Venerable and surviving is a staggering 99999999!

It's no exaggeration to say that even if the Tianyuan Dao Sect contained within the bronze monument wasn't its true form, but rather an avatar, or even just a wisp of its divine consciousness, Chen Beiwu wouldn't have much confidence in surviving.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Yuan appeared, blocking Chen Beiwu's path.

"Aren't you supposed to be participating in the Heavenly Abyss Trial? Where are you headed?" Yuan asked calmly.

"This junior's abilities are limited, and I wish to leave the Path of Heavenly Stars," Chen Beiwu said humbly.

Why?

"This junior does not believe he can survive against the Venerable Refining Void," Chen Beiwu said bluntly.

"How will you know you can't do it if you don't try?"

"I'm afraid I'll die if I try," Chen Beiwu said with a wry smile. "As for the payment you offered earlier, I can return it all."

Yuan glanced at Chen Beiwu and bluntly said, "Alright, with your intelligence, you must know that the Dao Venerable's avatar in the Heavenly Abyss Trial has limitations. Perhaps the three conditions I promised are not enough?"

"You've misunderstood, senior."

Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly: "The inscription on the bronze stele is unclear. I only wish to learn the specific details of the second trial of the Heavenly Abyss from you. If it is a life-or-death challenge, I will have to take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Yuan's expression hardened, and he almost thought he had misjudged the person.

Even if a cultivator who is so afraid of death has high talent and comprehension, he will find it difficult to achieve great things in the future, let alone glimpse the Great Dao of Refining Emptiness.

While pondering the matter, Yuan calmly explained, "There's no need to worry. The second trial of the Heavenly Abyss Trial does not require your physical body to participate; it merely projects and extends your essence, energy, and spirit into the monument."

Even if you fail to pass the test and your clone dies, you will only lose some of your essence and spirit, and you will feel tired and listless. Your three souls, seven spirits, and nascent soul will remain safe and sound.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's expression softened.

He knew in his heart that no matter how powerful and wealthy Tianyuan Dao Sect was, it would not let its most outstanding talents die for nothing.

But the power of the Refining Void Daoist is simply too great!

If it were just a trial, that would be fine, but what truly made Chen Beiwu wary was something else.

For example, the Heavenly Abyss Trial, though called a trial, is in reality a possession attempt by a Void Refining Dao Venerable.

Therefore, even though the Purple Gold Canopy fortune position did not give any advance warning, Chen Beiwu did not let his guard down and did not blindly believe what the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon said.

"What do you want to know?" Yuan asked calmly.

"What is the cultivation level of the Dao Venerable's avatar in the second trial?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"The Dao Venerable's cultivation level will be consistent with that of the trial participants. You are currently at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, so the Dao Venerable's avatar will naturally also be at the half-step Nascent Soul realm."

At this point, Yuan paused slightly: "As for combat, among those of the same realm, none can match the avatar of my sect's Dao Venerable."

"Therefore, the trial requirements will be relaxed a lot. You only need to survive three attacks from my sect's Dao Venerable's clone to pass the trial smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart tightened.

He knew that the Refining Void Daoist was very strong, and not someone he could mess with.

However, if the Daoist's clone held back and they only exchanged three moves, he was quite confident.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's reaction, Yuan smiled and said, "The three moves made by my sect's Dao Venerable seem simple, consisting of only one finger, one palm, and one fist, but in reality they contain the supreme Daoist essence, which even the greatest geniuses of all ages would find difficult to withstand."

"You can experience its specific power through trials."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan waved his sleeve and disappeared, leaving Chen Beiwu with a thoughtful expression.

"Roar?" (Still want to charge?)

Golden Egg looked up at Chen Beiwu.

Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling looked worried, but A Ji was somewhat eager to try.

How magnificent is the Daoist Master of Refining Emptiness!

Even though it had reached the level of a fifth-realm demon lord in its previous life, it had never come into contact with such a magnificent being!

Sensing Aji's fighting spirit, Chen Beiwu held his breath and straightened his expression.

Not only Aji, but he also wanted to see what a Refining Void Daoist Master was like.

With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu stepped towards the giant bronze stele and gently touched it with his right hand.

"Buzz!"

As the bronze monument burst forth with light, the scenery around Chen Beiwu suddenly changed, and he appeared in a desolate desert with murky spiritual energy and endless yellow sand.

I seem to have gotten much weaker!

Chen Beiwu's divine sense stirred, and he keenly sensed the change in his own combat strength.

Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji were also quite unaccustomed to it, as if their cultivation, physical strength, and spiritual power were all suppressed to a certain extent.

Is this the price of extending and projecting one's vital energy and spirit?

Before Chen Beiwu could finish his thought, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

He suddenly looked up and saw that the sky and clouds were like the surface of water, with a giant finger pointing downwards without warning.

Before the fingertips even touched the ground, the yellow sand swirled up, retreating voluntarily, freezing the space in place.

Chen Beiwu felt his consciousness sink, and before he could use his profound abilities, his nascent soul in his sea of ​​consciousness collapsed, and everything went black.

Before the massive bronze stele, a line of seal script slowly appeared.

[Trial failed!]

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his gaze revealing lingering fear.
