Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 641 The Four Stages of Nascent Soul Transformation (Supplement)

"Buzz!"

Upon seeing a figure appear, the Fighting Demon Ape showed no surprise.

Chen Beiwu's ability to freely teleport and move along the Path of Heavenly Stars, accomplishing what even it couldn't do, is indeed astonishing.

However, compared to the incredible feat of suppressing the spirit of the Primordial Dao Artifact, the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon, it is truly insignificant.

Even the mighty Fighting Demon Ape had to admit that, as time went by, it understood Chen Beiwu less and less.

Sometimes it's good to be a little oblivious. The Fighting Demon Ape didn't ask any more questions, but looked around and said calmly, "I've been exploring the area for a while, but I haven't been able to find the exit of the Heavenly Star Path or an inter-domain teleportation channel."

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly to show his understanding, then looked at the Primordial Dao Artifact that was gradually sinking into the Tianyuan River.

While the cross-domain teleportation channel is tempting, it is completely incomparable to the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron.

At least for this moment, Chen Beiwu only had eyes for the Tianyuan Zhenlong Cauldron.

Following Chen Beiwu's gaze toward the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, the Fighting Demon Ape remained calm, its eyes devoid of any greed.

Faced with a Primordial Dao Artifact, let alone a Nascent Soul True Venerable, even a Fifth Realm Demon Venerable who is not good at refining magical artifacts would find few able to suppress their greed.

The Fighting Demon Ape clan is the only exception!

"Be careful, there might be a backup plan left by the Eight Heavenly Abyss Dragons inside the Dragon Suppression Cauldron," the Fighting Demon Ape warned.

During this period, apart from exploring the surrounding environment and looking for a way out, it didn't touch the Tianyuan Town Dragon Cauldron at all, for fear of any accidents.

"I know what's important."

Chen Beiwu nodded solemnly, but he did not shy away from the idea of ​​avoiding the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron.

The true spirit of a Dao artifact is different from an ordinary divine thought clone; once it dies, it ceases to exist.

Otherwise, the Tianyuan Zhenlong Cauldron would not have suffered a chain reaction and been severely damaged.

As for acting?

Chen Beiwu quickly dismissed the ridiculous idea.

No matter how much the Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon disguises itself, it's impossible for it to simply give away the essence of the Dao artifact to the Nine Breaths Chaos without any resistance.

What surprised Chen Beiwu even more was that the Nine Breaths Chaos was incredibly powerful. After finishing the meat, it didn't forget to leave him some soup and left a trace of the Dao artifact's origin deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, forming a miniature Heavenly Abyss Dragon Suppressing Artifact.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Beiwu conceived the idea of ​​taking control of the Tianyuan Zhenlong Cauldron with his Nascent Soul True Monarch cultivation.

"Huh?" (Should I give it a try?)

The golden egg was the first to peek out from behind the dragon's head, volunteering to help.

It was quite compatible with the Heavenly Abyss Dao, so the Primordial Dao Artifact that could not be obtained slowly sank into the depths of the Heavenly Abyss River.

"Huh?" (You?)

Schiller was taken aback, surprised by Golden Egg's stubbornness.

Even Bei Wu couldn't shake the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, so how could the Golden Egg possibly do it?

"roar."

Sensing Schiller's disdain, Golden Egg did not hesitate. Its dragon body coiled around the cauldron, expanding to a size of five hundred feet at a visible speed, attempting to drag the Primordial Dao Artifact out of the Heavenly Abyss River.

boom!

boom!

boom!

To the Golden Egg's disappointment, no matter how it tried, the sinking momentum of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron remained unchanged.

"Could we try moving it out?" Chen Beiwu turned his head to look at the Fighting Demon Ape.

I'll give it a try.

Without saying a word, the Fighting Demon Ape boldly stepped into the Tianyuan River.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

As the waters of the Tianyuan River submerged his body hair, the Fighting Demon Ape spewed white mist from its entire body, and its flesh, stained with the river water, corroded and rotted in patches.

But the Fighting Demon Ape didn't even blink, and firmly wrapped its arms around the cauldron, unleashing all its power.

"rise!"

The Fighting Demon Ape roared and forcefully raised the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron by an inch.

"Woof!" "Eek!" (Alright!)

Tie Dan and Zhi Ling exchanged a glance, both somewhat excited.

But the next instant, the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron trembled slightly, and a deafening rumble resounded. The Fighting Demon Ape spat out blood, its momentum plummeted, and its massive body retreated repeatedly before rapidly shrinking to one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

"This cauldron is repelling me. If I force myself to lift it, I might die."

The Fighting Demon Ape wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth with the back of its hand, its tone indifferent, as if it were not the one who would die from lifting the cauldron.

"I'll give it a try."

Chen Beiwu stepped onto the Tianyuan River and touched the Zhenlong Cauldron with both hands.

After all, he was the host who had successfully completed the initial refining of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron, so in theory he shouldn't have been resisted by it.

"Buzz!"

The moment it was touched, the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron emitted a very faint hum.

Unlike the dull thud emitted when the Fighting Demon Ape made contact, this buzzing sound was short and clear, as if it were confirming something.

The next instant, as the miniature cauldron within his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, Chen Beiwu noticed a sudden change in the sensation of his hands; they were no longer icy cold, but rather warm.

The dense patterns covering the body of the Zhenlong Cauldron also glowed faintly and flowed slowly, conveying a sense of intimacy.

Chen Beiwu smiled and tried to lift the cauldron.

In an instant, the giant cauldron shrank and became lighter, and the indescribable feeling of heaviness lessened by more than half.

Even so, Chen Beiwu needed to exert all his strength and push the Heavenly Abyss Dao Technique and the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body to their limits in order to barely hold the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron in his hands.

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

Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji all congratulated Chen Beiwu immediately.

The Fighting Demon Ape slightly raised its eyelids, then quickly regained its composure.

Chen Beiwu has created too many miracles, so it is not surprising that he can lift the Hunyuan Dao artifact in one go.

No wonder!

The Fighting Demon Ape's gaze fell upon the Primordial Dao Artifact, which had transformed into a small cauldron and was now resting peacefully in Chen Beiwu's hands. Its eyes held an undisguised solemnity.

Its premonition had come true.

With the blessing of the Primordial Dao Artifact, Chen Beiwu, though now only a Nascent Soul True Monarch, is able to contend with a True Venerable in the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm by relying on external objects.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Seeing through the Fighting Demon Ape's thoughts, Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.

With only initial refinement, he was not yet able to freely control the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron.

The reason he was able to succeed was entirely due to the little bit of soup left by the Nine Breaths Chaos after eating the meat, which prevented the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron from instinctively resisting.

"Perhaps there are secrets we are looking for hidden within the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron," the Fighting Demon Ape suggested.

Deep within the Path of Heavenly Stars, it had searched everything it could, but still couldn't find any trace of the entrance to the inter-domain teleportation channel.

With no other option, it could only place its hopes on the Tianyuan Zhenlong Cauldron.

Chen Beiwu nodded, his mind settled, and he probed into the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron.

Unlike the Heavenly Mirror of Annihilation, perhaps because the power of the Primordial Dao Artifact was too overwhelming, or perhaps because the origin of the Eight Heavenly Dragons was damaged after their fall, Chen Beiwu was unable to figure out the power and usage of the Heavenly Abyss Dragon Suppressing Cauldron for a while.

Upon seeing this, the Fighting Demon Ape took the initiative to leave, giving Chen Beiwu space to refine the Primordial Dao Artifact.

Meanwhile, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji stayed by Chen Bei Wu's side, never leaving his side.

Time passed slowly, and five years quickly went by.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

"Huh?" (How is it?)

The golden egg couldn't hide his excitement.

"Found it."

Chen Beiwu looked down at the bottom of the Tianyuan River and smiled slightly: "I have found the inter-domain passage to the Eastern Land, Western Heaven, and Northern Xuan Domains."

"But before that, we have some things to take care of."

After saying this, Chen Beiwu activated the Ten Directions Gate and returned to the Immortal Alliance.

Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Jade Purity Hall.

Zixiao Zhenzun's eyes flickered slightly as he noticed that Chen Beiwu's aura was completely different from before, which surprised him.

Each time Chen Beiwu went into seclusion, his cultivation level and energy underwent a qualitative change.

If it were a closed-door retreat, that would be one thing, but Chen Beiwu's retreat this time lasted only five years, yet the effects of the changes in his Qi were no less than those of a Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance who had retreated for five hundred years.

This efficiency comparison is simply outrageous.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Chen Beiwu bowed slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Here you go, this is the pill you wanted."

With a flick of his sleeve, the Purple Cloud True Venerable sent three streaks of light landing directly in front of Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu accepted the gift with both hands and was about to say goodbye.

Now that the resources for the Nascent Soul stage are complete, Golden Egg, Schiller, and Aji can all begin to attempt to break through to the Fifth Realm Demon Lord. There are also Primordial Dao Artifacts waiting to be researched, so Chen Beiwu is naturally eager to return home.

"Wait, don't rush."

Zixiao Zhenzun called out to Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sect leader.

"You are now not far from becoming a True Immortal, and your subordinate beasts are also about to advance to the Fifth Realm Demon Lord."

At this point, True Venerable Zixiao paused slightly: "Perfect timing. There is a Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch in the sect who is currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Divine Transformation stage. You can observe from the vicinity of his seclusion site and learn some experience."

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, intrigued: "Which True Monarch of the sect is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"It's your senior brother, Yue Chenfeng," said Zixiao Zhenzun.

"!!!"

Chen Beiwu was slightly surprised.

When he was still a Golden Core True Person, the eldest brother was already trying to prove the Dao and become a Divine Transformation True Venerable.

He is now a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch, only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Divine Transformation True Venerable, while his senior brother is still trying to break through to the Divine Transformation realm.

"Thank you for reminding me, Sect Leader. I'll go check it out now."

Chen Beiwu bowed respectfully and immediately activated his escape light to head towards Qingming Peak.

Qingming Peak, outside Taiyuan Blessed Land.

Three people sat on the ground, disregarding their appearance, and looked at the blessed land not far away.

"Do you think our senior brother will successfully complete his seclusion this time?"

Mo Chen took a sip of tea and spoke frankly.

Su Muyu remained silent, simply drinking her tea, her gaze never leaving the distant sky.

"With Senior Brother's talent and aptitude, he will definitely pass all four levels in this seclusion with ease," Jiang Chuan said without hesitation.

To attain the Dao and transform into a deity, a Nascent Soul True Monarch needs to pass through four trials in succession.

The first challenge is "Three Flowers Gather at the Top".

The so-called "three flowers" are not the flowers of plants, but the three treasures of the human body: essence, qi, and spirit.

The cultivator refines the Three Treasures to their utmost purity, causing them to rise on their own and gather in the Nigongwan (Mud Palace Pill). They then transform the essence into spirit, and the spirit into emptiness, which is the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

The second challenge is the Five Dynasties.

This stage requires cultivators to return the five internal organs to their proper places, condense the Great Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, and bring it to the Yuan Palace (Lower Dan Tang) to balance the five Qi, allowing them to blend and permeate each other.

In ancient times, many Nascent Soul True Monarchs fell at this hurdle. At best, their five internal organs and foundations were damaged; at worst, their spiritual roots collapsed, their cultivation level regressed, and they even died.

However, during the Immortal Alliance era, the method of cultivating immortality by borrowing beasts became prevalent.

Cultivators have the Tongcan Beast that can replace the Qi of the five internal organs, and can also use the three veins of the Tongcan Beast to condense the Great Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root and ascend to the Yuan Palace, so the difficulty of this level is greatly reduced.

The third stage of the manuscript is a tribulation of becoming a deity.

After a cultivator gathers the Three Flowers at the top of their head and the Five Qi converges at the origin, Heaven and Earth will naturally respond and send down the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage.

The Tribulation is both a tempering of the cultivator's soul by heaven and earth, and a necessary and most dangerous hurdle for the cultivator to transcend.

If one fails to pass the test, at best the soul will be severely damaged, the nascent soul will collapse, and the cultivation level will regress to the Golden Core stage; at worst, the three souls and seven spirits will be annihilated, leaving no chance for reincarnation.

Only those who successfully transcend the tribulation and condense their primordial spirit can pass all three trials and enter the final trial.

As for the final challenge, it is the law of heaven and earth.

After a cultivator achieves the primordial spirit, he must transform his bones and muscles into veins to bear the weight of heaven and earth.

Qi and blood transform into rivers, flowing through the five elements;

The acupoints and cavities transform into stars, reflecting the Dharma and its principles;

The cinnabar pool transformed into a vast ocean, encompassing the source of all things.

And by transforming the physical body into heaven and earth, one can become a divine being, reaching the state of "I am the law, and the law is me".

While this realm is indeed extraordinary, it is far inferior to the Refining Void Dao Venerable in every way. Therefore, the Immortal Alliance is accustomed to calling the Dharma Heaven and Earth forged by the Transformation God True Venerable the Outer Heaven and Earth, while calling the Bloodline True Form forged by the Five Realms Demon Venerable the Inner Heaven and Earth.

"I hope so."

With a flick of his sleeve, Su Muyu conjured a cup above the jade table.

Upon seeing this, both Jiang Fu and Mo Chen noticed something and looked up at the sky.

A streak of light flashed by, and a figure came into view.

"Junior brother is here."

Jiang Fu and Mo Chen both stood up immediately, and even Su Muyu, who was lying on the ground without regard for her image, did the same.

"Greetings, senior sisters and senior brothers."

After a brief greeting, Chen Beiwu looked up at the distant sky.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch needs a sufficiently safe space to prove their Dao, and no one dares to violate the sect's rules and risk using their divine sense to investigate.

Even though they are all disciples of the Qingming lineage, they can only find a desolate place to sense the energy of heaven and earth from a great distance and thus gain some insights.

"Junior brother, you've arrived just in time."

Su Muyu, Jiang Fu, and Mo Chen were all very easygoing. One of them poured tea, another poured water, and the third fetched seats, making sure Chen Beiwu was properly seated.

Nowadays, everyone in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect knows that True Martial Lord Chen Beiwu is a destined True Venerable with the potential to refine his Void Realm.

"How long has Senior Brother been in seclusion?" Chen Beiwu asked with concern.

"It's been over fifty years, and we estimate that the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top banquet will be held soon," Jiang Fu explained.

"When does Junior Brother plan to go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Senior Sister Su suddenly asked.

"It's difficult to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so I'm going to play it safe and let the fellow beasts first attain the Dao of Demon Lord," Chen Beiwu said.

Taking risks is impossible.

With the Five-Colored Vine as a safety net, he decided to choose the most righteous and vigorous way to attain enlightenment.

Rumble!

Just then, the celestial phenomena above Taiyuan Blessed Land changed, and radiance gathered, vaguely revealing the extraordinary phenomenon of three flowers.

"As expected of the senior brother, he condensed the three flowers so quickly and completed the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top," Jiang Fu exclaimed.

Mo Chen nodded, saying sincerely, "I'm afraid it will only take two years for Senior Brother to successfully complete the Five Qi Gathering."

"Two years? One year is enough. For the sake of the Five Dynasties, Senior Brother specially made a contract with the Five Black Dragons." Jiang Fu smiled calmly.

Sure enough, a year later, five-colored rays of light filled the sky and earth, forming a magnificent and extraordinary phenomenon.

Although everything was going smoothly, Chen Beiwu felt a sense of unease and subconsciously began to calculate and interpret the divination.
