Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 640 Facing the Dao Artifact

"certainly."

With a flick of his sleeve, Yuan sent an invisible ripple toward Chen Beiwu: "Refining the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron requires the Heavenly Abyss Daoist Technique, while relinquishing control requires comprehending another secret technique."

What kind of bullshit secret technique is this?!

Sensing the contents of the secret technique, Chen Beiwu's eyelids twitched. His right hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, gripped the Escape Talisman, his first instinct being to activate the Ten Directions Gate to escape back to the Immortal Alliance.

Spirit stones don't just fall from the sky for nothing.

No wonder the Eight Heavens Dragon was so bold; it turns out that to relinquish control of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron, he needed to cultivate a secret technique, abandon his physical body, and sacrifice his soul to succeed.

"Ugh!"

Yuan sighed, showing no surprise at Chen Beiwu's actions: "You can't escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the world froze, Chen Beiwu's figure stood still, and the Escape Talisman in his hand dimmed.

Seeing Chen Beiwu's incredulous look, Yuan smiled slightly and said casually, "It's just a mere physical body and soul. Are you really so reluctant to part with it?"

"It can even suppress the teleportation of the Ten Directions Gate. Is this the power possessed by the spirit of the Dao artifact?"

Upon realizing that his movement was being hindered, Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat, but his expression quickly returned to calm.

The more critical the moment, the less you need to panic; instead, you need to remain calm.

The fact that the Ten Directions Gate, which has always been invincible, failed for the first time does not mean it is completely useless.

Although the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon is powerful, it cannot suppress the Ten Directions Gate for too long.

Intuition told Chen Beiwu that if he could buy himself a moment or two with words, he could use the power of the Ten Directions Gate to break the space-time barrier of this world and escape back to the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, for him, the most important thing now is to buy time.

"Senior, why go to such lengths?"

Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and a calm smile appeared on his face.

Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji all looked at Yuan with wary eyes.

The sudden change in the situation made them realize immediately that the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon had become an enemy.

However, the difference in cultivation levels between the two sides was too great, and they didn't even have the chance to unleash their profound powers in resistance.

The Fighting Demon Ape, who was watching from the side, also noticed something was wrong. He reached out his hand towards Chen Beiwu, intending to protect the latter.

"You beast, step back!"

Yuan glanced at the Fighting Demon Ape, and a vast aura immediately locked onto it.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

The Fighting Demon Ape was unable to resist, and its body was forced to retreat repeatedly due to the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon's words, making it unable to move forward.

With a single word, he suppressed the Fighting Demon Ape, ignoring the hostile gazes of the golden eggs and the others. Yuan turned to Chen Beiwu, his tone indifferent, and said, "Bluster is useless. I'll give you two choices: one, obediently fulfill the agreement and master the Three Abyss Dragon Transformation Secret Technique."

Secondly, I will forcibly seize your body through a karmic contract to help you cultivate the secret technique and fulfill the subsequent agreement.

"What if I don't choose either?" Chen Beiwu asked, looking directly at Yuan Dao.

These two options seem to offer some flexibility, but in reality, they are the same and will both lead to his utter ruin.

The reason is simple: the Three Abyss Dragon Transformation Secret Method is not an ordinary Taoist technique, but the core inheritance of the Tianyuan Taoist Sect. It cannot be viewed or practiced by those who have not initially refined the Tianyuan Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.

This method uses the "Three Abysses" as a bridge and the "Divine Soul" as a dragon. It requires practitioners to abandon the Three Abysses, separate their soul from their body, use their soul to control the cauldron, enter the cauldron to transform into a dragon, and replace the spirit to guard the vessel.

Once completed, as a price, the cultivator's soul will completely detach from the physical body and enter the cauldron to transform into a dragon, becoming the spirit of the vessel. It will no longer be human and can never return.

"That's not up to you. Do you think I granted those three conditions for nothing?"

Yuan chuckled lightly: "Once cause and effect are intertwined, whether you refuse or resist, you cannot change reality."

After saying that, Yuan was too lazy to say anything more. With a thought, he entered Chen Beiwu's spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, Chen Beiwu's sea of ​​consciousness shone brightly, reflecting the majestic dragon shadow of the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon.

"Fine, since you're unwilling, I'll have to take matters into my own hands and seize your body."

The sky above his mind transformed into dark, gloomy clouds, with eight celestial dragons bowing their heads, emanating an aura that sent chills down Chen Beiwu's spine.

But Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon were to directly kill him, he would be powerless to resist.

But in the sea of ​​consciousness, he might as well try to put up a fight.

If all else fails, he can stall for time and use the power of the Ten Directions Gate to return to the Immortal Alliance, even if it means exposing his secrets.

At that time, by using the Gate of Ten Directions and a Great Thousand World as cover, it may be possible to eliminate the Eight Heavenly Abyss Dragons while preserving the secrets of the Nine Breaths Chaos.

"Buzz!"

Sensing the change in Chen Beiwu's sea of ​​consciousness, the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon shook its head slightly and looked up at the Primordial Dharma Image that reached the heavens and the earth.

"A mere Heavenly Divine Image dares to block my way?"

Yuan spoke indifferently, not taking Chen Beiwu seriously at all.

There is absolutely no possibility of failure in using the true spirit of the Great Dao to possess a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Moreover, in order to offset the cause and effect and make the body after possession perfectly compatible, he promised and fulfilled three conditions of Chen Ziang in advance.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon does not need to expend much power; with just a thought, a mighty river can surge back through the eight heavens, carrying immense force, and instantly engulf the Primordial Dharma Image.

Faced with this immense power, Chen Beiwu was powerless to resist, even with the help of Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji.

It just didn't work!

Chen Beiwu was not surprised by this result.

However, his confidence to stall for a moment was based on the reincarnation wheel given to him by the Jade Moon Protector.

As a powerful artifact that carries part of the Great Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation, the Reincarnation Wheel can be considered a quasi-Dao weapon in the Southern Wilderness.

If he can unleash the power of the Reincarnation Wheel, even if he can't defeat the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon, he can at least buy himself some time and successfully return to the Immortal Alliance.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Chen Beiwu felt a throbbing in his heart, revealing a hint of longing.

"Swallow, swallow, swallow!"

Chen Beiwu didn't hesitate at all, stating directly that if Nine Breaths Chaos wanted it, he dared to give it to it!

In an instant, fortune surged like a tide, and deep within Chen Beiwu's sea of ​​consciousness, the faint phantom of a supreme treasure slowly appeared.

What—what is this thing?

Batian Yuanlong's expression stiffened, and he keenly sensed unease.

He knew that Chen Zi'ang had many secrets, but he didn't pay too much attention to them.

Even if a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch has many secrets, could he possibly be comparable to a Primordial Dao Artifact?

But now, feeling the completely dormant power within his body, Batian Yuanlong's attitude changed drastically.

"We can talk again—"

Before the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon's will could settle, the Nine Breaths Chaos, unable to contain itself, unleashed a burst of radiant light, instantly causing the towering dragon shadow within the sea of ​​consciousness to vanish.

"Is that all?" Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback.

He had expected a fierce battle between the Nine Breaths Chaos and the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon, but who would have thought that the spirit of the Primordial Dao Artifact would be so vulnerable, unable to even put up a struggle.

This gave Chen Beiwu an instinctive sense of unreality.

Rumble!

The next instant, Chen Beiwu suddenly sensed the abnormal movement in the chaotic world.

The Nine Cycles and Three Elements of fortune that he had painstakingly accumulated began to dissipate slowly at a visible rate, and his heart rate also soared.

After an unknown amount of time, the Qi of the Nine Cycles and Three Elements dissipated halfway through, and Chen Beiwu's heartbeat stabilized. He could even vaguely sense the sense of satisfaction emanating from the Nine Breaths of Chaos.

Is it resolved?

Upon realizing that the Nine Breaths Chaos had completely returned to calm, Chen Beiwu was momentarily uncertain.

With a thought, he sank his consciousness into the chaotic world.

They discovered that not only had the Qi of the Nine Cycles and Three Elements dissipated halfway through, but a miniature Tianyuan Zhenlong Cauldron had also appeared out of nowhere within the chaotic world.

Is this a stroke of luck or a calamity?

Looking at the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron, Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and he dared not make any rash moves.

One lesson is enough.

It was precisely because he placed too much faith in the Purple Gold Canopy position and the Gate of Ten Directions, and coveted the resources of the Ten Thousand Stars, that he was almost possessed and sacrificed by the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon.

But thinking about it the other way around, the reason why the Zi Jin Hua Gai position did not issue a warning in advance, could it be that it had already foreseen that he would turn misfortune into blessing?

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Beiwu temporarily ignored the miniature Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron within the chaotic world and immediately opened his eyes.

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

The first thing that catches the eye is Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji, all of whom look concerned.

Even though they sensed through the Covenant that Chen Beiwu was unharmed and had not been possessed by the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon, the Golden Eggs were still very worried.

"I'm fine."

Chen Beiwu turned to the Fighting Demon Ape and invited, "Would you like to leave the Heavenly Star Path with me?"

The Fighting Demon Ape remained silent, only shaking its head slightly.

It found itself increasingly unable to understand Chen Beiwu.

Even the Primordial Dao Artifact was defeated by Chen Beiwu, but the future it desired was not to follow Chen Beiwu.

Seeing the Fighting Demon Ape's resolute attitude, Chen Beiwu did not press the matter further. He used the Escape Talisman as cover to teleport back to the Immortal Alliance.

For safety's sake, it would be better to have the miniature Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron in his mind studied at the Immortal Alliance.

In case of any accident, he can shout for the sect's founder to save him!

Just before teleporting, Chen Beiwu glanced at the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, which was mostly exposed on the Tianyuan River, and found that its spirituality had greatly diminished and it was far less imposing than before.

Meanwhile, outside...

Southern Wilderness, Huangyan Realm.

Whether they were Qi Refining cultivators who had just embarked on the path of cultivation or high-ranking members of various sects who had reached the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, they all felt a strong sense of unease and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

What's going on? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly chaotic. Could it be that the end of the world is coming?

A Nascent Soul True Monarch uttered an uneasy whisper.

"Oh no, is another great calamity about to befall us?"

Some Nascent Soul True Lords also consulted divination and prophecy to avoid the great calamity and protect themselves.

In the far west of Xuanyan Realm lies the forbidden land of Guixu Mountain.

One by one, the Nascent Soul True Venerables who had been dormant for many years and were in a state of self-sealing suddenly opened their eyes, revealing solemn expressions. Among them was Zhen Yuanzi, who had been forced back by the One Yuan True Venerable.

He looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

The celestial phenomena suddenly changed; the sky was torn apart, the stars were out of order, and heaven and earth grieved together.

Such extraordinary phenomena are extremely rare, occurring only once every ten thousand years. They could only appear if a Daoist master of the Void Refining Realm or the spirit of a Dao artifact were to perish.

Could it be?

Zhen Yuanzi turned his gaze toward the location of the Heavenly Star Path, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

There are no more Refining Void Dao Venerables living in the Southern Wilderness Region.

Even if such a phenomenon existed, the extraordinary celestial phenomenon caused by the fall of the Refining Void Daoist was immense, capable of encompassing the three realms, and could not possibly be limited to the Profound Evolution Realm alone.

Therefore, the answer is simple: this change in the world was not due to the Refining Void Daoist, but was related to the Primordial Dao Artifact.

However, Chen Zi'ang, the sect leader of Jingyue Sect, had only been on the path of the Heavenly Stars for a few years, yet such an extraordinary phenomenon appeared in the Profound Evolution Realm. Zhen Yuanzi would not think this was a coincidence.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have killed Chen Zi'ang directly back then." Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly.

It was only because his unease was growing stronger, as if Chen Zi'ang would one day return to the Southern Wilderness to seek revenge.

Another place.

The mysterious cultivator observed the celestial phenomena at night, a slight smile playing on his lips.

If Zhen Yuanzi were here, he would surely recognize him as a half-step Void Refining being who calls himself the One Yuan True Venerable.

Not bad, not bad. To cause such a commotion within the Heavenly Star Road, it was worth it for me, your ancestor, to intervene for you.

The One Yuan True Venerable activated his supernatural powers to divine the heavens and earth, and suddenly glimpsed a celestial phenomenon.

"Huh, it's actually the spirit of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron that has perished! How strange!"

The True Venerable One smiled, picked up the wine pot, and took a sip.

Suddenly, a detached voice, like the clash of metal and stone, rang out: "The world has changed. Wait another five hundred years, and the path to Void Refinement will be opened."

The True Venerable One drank alone, without turning his head, and said, "It doesn't matter. It would be better if it were five hundred years earlier. The day the Great Array of Severing Heaven and Earth Collapses will be the day the Great War Between the Two Domains Begins."

Immortal Alliance, Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Within the mixed peak.

Chen Beiwu frowned, then slowly relaxed.

After much research, perhaps he was overthinking it. With the Nine Breaths of Chaos making a move, the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon was most likely already gone.

But what troubled Chen Beiwu was that the Nine Breaths Chaos remained unchanged, offering no response whatsoever, let alone any help—

Here are some hints.

As for the miniature Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron within the chaotic world, it faintly exuded an indescribable Daoist charm, far beyond his current cultivation level to comprehend and refine.

To be on the safe side, Chen Beiwu got up and prepared to go to the Jade Purity Hall to meet the sect leader and apply to activate the Creation Dao Rhyme of the Mixed Peak, on the grounds that he wanted to try to help Xue Le attain the fifth realm of demon lord.

Inside the Jade Purity Hall, True Venerable Zixiao raised his eyes and looked at Chen Beiwu.

"Your fellow beasts are about to attain the fifth realm of demon lordship? Why not wait a little longer?"

"Yes, Schiller has been in seclusion with his disciple for many years and has gained some insights. His foundation is already sufficient, and even without the Five Elements Venerable Self Pill, he has a certain chance of success," Chen Beiwu said frankly.

"Advancing to the Demon Lord is no easy feat, and there's no need to take the risk. You and Sheler might as well wait another five years. By then, the five Yuan Venerable Pills and two Creation Returning to Venerable Pills that I promised will be ready."

At this point, True Venerable Zixiao paused slightly: "As for the restrictions within Huncheng Peak, I can lift them ahead of schedule, but you must not allow your subordinate beasts to risk attempting to break through them."

For cultivators, five years is an incredibly short time.

In the eyes of True Venerable Zixiao, Chen Beiwu was simply impatient and wanted to find an excuse to expedite the preparation of the Nascent Soul Pill.

"This disciple understands." Chen Beiwu bowed slightly and took his leave.

After chatting briefly with the Jade Moon Guardian outside the hall, Chen Beiwu returned to his cave and was teleported to the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Star Road.

The true spirit of the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon has been resolved by the Nine Breaths Chaos, resulting in the loss of the spiritual power of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron within the Heavenly Star Path.

Under these circumstances, the allure of a Primordial Dao Artifact is beyond words, and Chen Beiwu naturally wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!

Even if the power of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron is greatly reduced, as long as he can fully refine it instead of just refining it initially, he might be able to kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a single blow.
