Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 643 Primordial Ancestral Tree

One month later, at the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.

Chen Beiwu took out the sect leader's jade token and activated the restriction.

In an instant, the entire Huncheng Peak trembled slightly, and the vast spiritual energy permeating the heavens and earth gradually took on a mysterious charm, as if it were expounding the ultimate truth of the universe.

This is the Dao of Creation that cultivators in the Southern Wilderness desire but cannot obtain.

Chen Beiwu took a deep breath and could vaguely feel the pulsation of his nascent soul and golden core within his body.

Without a doubt, nurtured by the Dao of Creation, he only needs to have a thought to begin attempting to attain the Dao and become a True God at any time.

However, given the fact that his senior brother had failed to attain enlightenment and died, Chen Beiwu was not in a hurry.

The reason is simple: for ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Immortal Alliance, achieving the Divine Transformation True Venerable status after a lifetime of dedication is already a great accomplishment.

Even if the probability of breaking through is low, and there is only a sliver of hope, there will still be Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarchs from the Immortal Alliance who are willing to take the risk.

But Chen Beiwu is different!

For Chen Beiwu, achieving the status of a Nascent Soul True Venerable was just the beginning, not the end.

Compared to attaining enlightenment and becoming a deity, Chen Beiwu was more concerned about the rank of "Law of Heaven and Earth" that he forged during the process of attaining enlightenment.

In the Immortal Alliance, the strength of the "Law of Heaven and Earth" rank can represent the foundation of a Nascent Soul True Venerable, and even largely determine their future achievements.

Even though all the cultivators in the Immortal Alliance who have achieved the Nascent Soul True Venerable level are among the strongest, none of them are mediocre talents with mediocre abilities.

As far as Chen Beiwu knew, the Immortal Alliance's Refining Void Daoist Venerable divided the Celestial Phenomena and Earthly Manifestations created by cultivators into three grades:

The first is the true form, the second is the original truth, and the third is the primordial chaos.

The True Form is based on the physical body and the primordial spirit. It is formed by following the laws of heaven and earth, creating its own world. It can condense a unique universe that belongs to itself, surpassing the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form of the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Seven or eight out of ten Nascent Soul True Venerables in the Immortal Alliance are of this grade.

Yuanzhen is another name for Heaven. Its Dharma form and power are far beyond what the true Dharma form can compare to. Its size is about one-tenth or one-twelfth of a middle thousand worlds. Its form is difficult to see and its top is difficult to see. Its power is infinite.

The Primordial Chaos is the ultimate form of the law of Heaven and Earth, from which all things in Heaven and Earth originate. Heaven follows my laws, and I follow the laws of Heaven. Heaven does not kill, and Earth does not perish. This is the ultimate Dao, touching upon the Great Dao of Refining Emptiness. Therefore, it was named Primordial Chaos by the high-ranking members of the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, the higher the grade of the Heaven and Earth Law that a cultivator forges, the greater the probability that they will encounter a cultivation giant or even a Void Refining Dao Venerable in the future.

Those who can forge the Primordial Dharma Image are recognized by the Immortal Alliance as top experts who are expected to take charge of the Great Dao of Refining Void in the future.

However, the Primordial Dharma Image is one in ten thousand.

Even with countless geniuses and powerful figures in the Immortal Alliance, it's not possible for every generation to have a True Venerable of the Nascent Soul stage who manages to reach that level.

Of course, the rank of Dharma Image is not absolute.

Relying on their innate talents, the Immortal Alliance also had a True Immortal who had forged a true form and Dharma image and ascended to the top of the Void Refining Dao Venerable through step-by-step cultivation.

However, the probability of this happening is extremely slim.

Chen Beiwu's requirements were not high; he would be content if he could forge the Primordial True Dharma Image after he attained the Dao and became a True God.

Unfortunately, the strength of the "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" grade is not determined by the immortal techniques cultivated by the cultivator, but by the cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It is precisely because of this that cultivators who have just achieved the status of a True God-level cultivator, due to insufficient comprehension, have basically only forged their true form and Dharma image.

Fortunately, ancient texts of the Immortal Alliance state that those who do not follow the paths of their predecessors but forge their own path have a certain probability of creating the Primordial True Dharma Image.

"There's still some gap. Once Xuele, Aji, and Jindan all advance to the fifth realm of demon lords, the new path I've pioneered should be mostly sorted out."

Chen Beiwu suppressed his distracting thoughts and looked at Xue Le, who was on high alert.

"Hey!"

Schiller raised his hand to salute Chen Beiwu, looking very confident.

"Where did you learn all those poses?"

Chen Beiwu smiled and took out the top-quality natural treasures he had prepared for Xue Le, including the Five-Colored Vine, Five Elements Fruit, Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf, Five Qi Myriad Transformations Elixir, Withered and Flourishing Branch, and Five Elements Venerable Self Pill.

"Hey!"

Schiller closed his eyes and activated the Transcendental Technique to refine the rare and precious materials before him one by one.

"roar?"

Golden Egg Three's dragon eyes flickered slightly, and he realized that Xue Le had not touched the Five Elements Venerable Pill from beginning to end.

Tie Dan barked softly, indicating that Xue Le wanted to try whether he could successfully attain the fifth realm of demon lord without using the Five Elements Venerable Pill.

Upon hearing this, Zhiling blinked her heterochromatic eyes.

The more stable the path to becoming a Demon Lord, the better; there's absolutely no need to take risks.

In her opinion, the reason why Schiller took such a risk was probably because there were more beasts than pills, and she wanted to save her companions a Five Elements Venerable Pill.

"Eek!" (What an idiot!)

Zhiling muttered to herself, her gaze involuntarily drifting toward where Xuele was.

She never imagined that the Five Elements Thieves, who treated rare and precious materials as their own and always wanted to seize high-level medicinal herbs, would be so considerate of their companions.

Unaware of his companions' thoughts, Xue Le was preoccupied with the idea of ​​becoming a Demon Lord and then following Chen Beiwu to plunder and seize the lands of the East, West, and North, earning the reputation of the Five Elements Thief.

boom!

boom!

boom!

As time passed, the sky above Huncheng Peak suddenly changed, with five-colored rays of light bursting forth, forming a strange phenomenon that enveloped most of the Yuqing Immortal Sect.

"Has it already started?"

Jiang Chuan Zhenjun looked up at the sky, his expression solemn.

"To be able to ignite one's bloodline to such an extent, it seems that the Five Qi Vine has gained a lot from cultivating alongside True Martial Lord," He Zhengyu exclaimed.

The worst thing is to compare things.

In previous years, the Jade Purity Immortal Sect had also produced demon lords who had attained the fifth realm of the Five Qi Vine, but compared with Chen Beiwu's fellow beast, they were inferior in terms of both their aura and the extraordinary phenomena manifested by their bloodline.

Meanwhile, in the classroom.

Shen Lingxing is explaining the method of "taming beasts and studying them together".

Suddenly, the Five Qi Vine on his shoulder cried out in surprise, its gaze instinctively turning towards the location of Huncheng Peak.

Noticing the reaction of the fellow beast, Shen Lingxing's eyes narrowed.

As a fellow contractor of the Five Qi Vine, he naturally knew what this energy represented.

"So he's already at the fifth level of the Demon Lord realm? That's incredibly fast!" Shen Lingxing was deeply shocked.

Although he had already heard some rumors about Chen Beiwu from his colleagues, he still found it hard to accept when the incident actually happened.

The Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators below the stage exchanged glances, wondering why the True Lord lecturer on stage had suddenly lost his composure and stopped lecturing.

"Could something big be about to happen?" one cultivator wondered to himself.

The Five Qi Vine on the stage could not hide its envy. Out of the corner of its eye, it couldn't help but steal a glance at Shen Lingxing. If it hadn't been tempted by the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Leaf back then, and instead refused to let Shen Lingxing stay in the Jade Purity Mountains, would it have become Chen Beiwu's companion beast?

Thinking further, could it be that the fellow beast that attained the fifth realm of demon lordship today is it, rather than that simple-minded junior who is obsessed with thieves?

"???"

Sensing the disdain of the fellow beast, Shen Lingxing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Being surpassed by younger generations and unable to catch up is certainly painful, but not unacceptable.

What truly broke Shen Lingxing's defenses was that the beast he had painstakingly contracted and nurtured was somewhat disappointed in him, and even harbored a hint of disloyalty.

"I have something urgent to attend to, get out of class dismissed."

Before Shen Lingxing could finish speaking, he had already activated his escape light and left.

Watching the lecturer's hurried departure, a Golden Core cultivator narrowed his eyes, feeling rather puzzled.

Was he just being paranoid and misreading things?

Why did True Lord Lingxing leave with a hint of dishevelment and haste?

That afternoon, outside Huncheng Peak.

Tai Cang True Venerable, Xuan Wei True Venerable, Xuan Yuan True Venerable, Chang Qing True Venerable, Zi Xiao True Venerable —

One after another, divine thought clones concealed themselves among the clouds in the sky, observing the changes in celestial phenomena.

On a spiritual peak beneath the clouds, Su Muyu, Mo Chen, and Jiang Chuan all closed their eyes and concentrated, sensing the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although the cultivation methods of the Fifth Realm Demon Lord differ from those of the Transformation God True Lord, there are still aspects that can be learned and emulated.

Otherwise, the first of the three grades of the Law of Heaven and Earth would not have been named the True Form Law by the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance.

"What terrifying energy!" Su Muyu exclaimed.

Although she was only a Nascent Soul True Monarch, she had met many Fifth Realm Demon Lords of the Qingming lineage.

However, in terms of aura, this magical power is almost no different from that of a fifth-realm demon lord!

"That is indeed a bit of an exaggeration," Mo Chen exclaimed.

"If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be a hundred years before we have to start calling our junior brother 'senior brother'," Jiang Chuan suddenly said.

According to the sect's rules, a Nascent Soul True Monarch should address a Divine Transformation True Venerable as their Martial Uncle.

However, since they are from the same school, according to the rule of seniority, even if the junior brother successfully attains the Dao Transformation True Venerable, they cannot change their address to Uncle-Master, as that would disrupt the generational order. They will most likely address him as Senior Brother.

Upon hearing this, Su Muyu and Mo Chen exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Lies don't hurt people, but the truth always hurts.

It would be really hard for them to accept that they should start calling their junior brother "senior brother".

"After comprehending the Demon Lord's tribulation, I plan to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage," Mo Chen said.

Su Muyu nodded: "Junior brother, you've thought of the same thing as me. After this, I plan to go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Jiang Chuan smiled without saying a word, looking at the increasingly terrifying strange phenomena in the sky.

Meanwhile, within the mixed peak.

Chen Beiwu held his breath and focused his mind, pushing the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique to its limit. At the same time, through the connection of the Covenant, he carefully sensed the changes in the bloodline within Xue Le's body.

Unlike the way cultivators attain enlightenment and become true deities, the core secret of the Tongcan Beast's advancement to the fifth realm of demon lord is similar to that of the fourth realm of demon king, but it is much more dangerous and is called the Three Tribulations of Returning to the Venerable Realm.

The first tribulation: Bloodline reversion to its ancestral form.

To become a Demon Lord, a Demon King of the Fourth Realm must reverse the bloodline within his body to its most ancient and purest form, thereby awakening the dormant ancestral shadows within his bloodline.

The older the ancestral afterimage is, the closer it is to the source of the bloodline, and the stronger the true form of the bloodline that the Demon King will condense after his advancement.

The prerequisite is that the breakthrough user can successfully refine the awakened ancestral remnant.

Conversely, if the refining fails, the breakthrough demon king will suffer from either a reversed bloodline and dissipated cultivation, or, in severe cases, have their soul and true spirit devoured by the remnants of their ancestors, turning into a ferocious beast that only knows how to kill and acts recklessly.

Perhaps it was because the bloodline in Schiller's body was extremely close to that of the Creation Beast, or perhaps it was because the rare and precious materials Schiller used when breaking through to the Demon Lord were of extremely high quality, the process of tracing and exploring the source of his bloodline was much easier than Chen Beiwu had expected.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Soon, three years passed, and Chen Beiwu sensed the unusual movement in Xue Le's soul.

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind completely aligned with Schiller's.

In a daze, the scene in front of Chen Beiwu suddenly changed, and what came into view was a colossal tree that stretched across the sky and earth.

Its height is unknown, reaching down to the deepest hell and up to the Milky Way. Its entire body is dark yellow, and its crown has endless Daoist charm flowing around it, like five dragons of blue, red, yellow, white and black guarding the world. With each breath, it can determine the earth, fire and wind of the world.

Its bark patterns intertwine, like the five elements generating and reversing each other, and one can vaguely see the rising and setting of the sun and moon, a scene of primordial chaos, just like the emperor of this world.

Regardless of whether they are immortals, mortals, demons, or monsters, all those who are among the Five Elements of Hunyuan must submit to him and accept his protection.

This is the Emperor of Plants, the Pivot of All Spirits, and the Primordial Tree of the Five Elements.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted as he keenly sensed the terrifying power of this aura.

His gaze shifted instantly, and he realized that he was a towering five-colored giant vine, currently facing off against the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree.

Now it is up to me and Schiller to join forces to fight against the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree?

As Chen Beiwu's thoughts raced, he was about to try to unleash a sudden attack by activating the giant vines, but he saw the crown of the Primordial Ancestral Tree sway slightly, and an invisible force swept across the heavens and earth.

Rumble!

Faced with Wei Li, Chen Beiwu found himself completely unable to move.

"Hey!" (I haven't lost yet!)

The five-colored giant vines burst forth with dazzling light, but this light stopped spreading when it approached the Primordial Ancestral Tree and then vanished silently, without even causing a ripple.

"The gap is too big!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

The bloodline remnant of this Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree was far too powerful; Xue Le alone could not contend with it, let alone refine it.

Sometimes, using too many rare and precious materials, and awakening too many powerful ancestral remnants, can be a bittersweet experience. Chen Beiwu regained his composure and opened his eyes.

The reason why Schiller was suppressed by the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree and could not fight back was because his bloodline was not strong enough. Fortunately, Chen Beiwu was prepared and did not let Schiller stop at this point.

The three profound powers of the Three Realms of Wisdom Light, the True Spirit of the Dharma Image, and the Divine Appearance of the Dharma Image were activated with a thunderous roar.

With the blessing of the Primordial Dharma Image, the majestic five-colored giant vine rapidly increased its energy, becoming comparable to the afterimage of the Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree.

Hold your breath and concentrate, and swallow this Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree with me!

The moment Chen Beiwu's thought crossed his mind, the primordial true qi within his body poured out.

One day, two days, three days —

Under the watchful eyes of Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Zhi Ling, and A Ji, Chen Beiwu's aura gradually plummeted to rock bottom, while the aura emanating from Xue Le became increasingly terrifying.

A month later, Schiller's Qi reached its limit, and his cultivation, which had stopped at 9999 years, began to surge.

10000 years of cultivation!

11000 years of cultivation!

12000 years of cultivation!

However, in the blink of an eye, under the incredible self-light of the golden egg, Xue Le's cultivation level suddenly surged to 14000 years, and then began to slowly decline.

Upon noticing this change, Golden Egg was slightly taken aback, while Iron Egg, standing to the side, was more pleased than worried.

The second tribulation of returning to the highest level is called Blood Tempering and Spirit Condensation.

As the name suggests, after the Demon King's bloodline reverts to its ancestral form, it needs to completely transform its immortal body, condense the embryonic form of its true form, and completely remove the acquired impurities and ancestral influences from its bloodline to form a unique Creation True Spirit.

Therefore, this stage of blood tempering requires at least three times, up to seven times, and no more than nine times.

The reason is simple: if the blood is quenched too many times, the blood vessels in Schiller's body are prone to dry up and collapse, and his true spirit will be damaged.

With too few blood tempering sessions, Schiller's bloodline was like scattered sand, unable to draw upon the essence of creation from heaven and earth to condense the true spirit of creation.

The decline of Xue Le's cultivation means that it has successfully passed the tribulation of returning to its original state and is now using the power of rare and precious materials and its life's cultivation to temper its blood and condense its spirit.
