Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 648 The Dark Purple Star

Under Chen Beiwu's expectant gaze, a strong light emanated from the slightly concave area where black and white met at the center of the altar, stirring the void and instantly forming a faint yin-yang symbol.

Below the yin-yang symbol, four ancient seal characters emerged, forming four special restrictions.

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly.

Although he did not recognize these ancient seal script characters, he could automatically understand their meaning simply by looking at them.

"East, West, South, North!"

Upon understanding the meaning of the seal script, Chen Beiwu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He only needs to place two top-grade spirit stones into the location of the seal script restriction to activate the altar and open the path to the Eastern Lands and the Western Heavens.

A cross-domain teleportation channel connecting the three regions of Beixuan.

"Hey?" (Where are we going?)

Schiller's eyes shone, as if he could already see the elixir of creation from the new world beckoning to him.

Chen Beiwu's mind raced with thoughts as he pondered the matter.

He never fights a battle unprepared, and he has long since figured out the general situation in the Eastern Lands, Western Heavens, and Northern Xuan Regions.

Although the four regions have been isolated for too long, and the classics and resources left by the sects may not be up-to-date with the changes of time, Chen Beiwu still decided to exclude the Western Heaven Region first.

The reason is simple: the Western Heaven is a sacred Buddhist land, where there are no immortal cultivation sects, only countless temples and monks with numerous precepts.

As a cultivator, his sudden arrival in the Western Heaven Domain would undoubtedly be extremely conspicuous, making him an oddity in the eyes of many monks in temples and easily exposing his secrets.

Of course, if necessary, Chen Beiwu could also change his appearance, conceal his cultivation, and disguise himself as a monk to explore the Western Heaven Domain.

Unfortunately, all the rare and precious materials in the Western Heaven Region already had owners. Most of them were offered as tribute to temples by believers, where they received incense offerings and the protection of Bodhisattvas.

To put it bluntly, even if Xue Le has now attained the fifth realm of demon lord, he still cannot snatch rare and precious materials from a powerful expert who has attained the Bodhisattva level.

However, what Chen Beiwu feared even more than these was that there were Arhats in the Western Heaven Domain who liked to save people and beasts and who would say things like "Benefactor, you are destined to be with Buddha."

"Compared to the Western Heaven Domain, the Northern Xuan Domain, where the demon race is at its peak and the population is sparse, could be considered a good choice," Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

He cultivates the path of immortality by borrowing beasts, and the Northern Xuan Region, teeming with demonic beasts, is undoubtedly an excellent place for cultivation.

The demon race has always believed in the survival of the fittest, and with Xue Le's cultivation level, he will surely be able to carve out a territory in the Northern Xuan Region.

It's easy to conquer territory, but it's incredibly difficult to hold onto it, and you might even need to pay homage to powerful figures.

The reason is simple: the Fifth Realm Demon Lord is not a top-tier existence in the Northern Profound Domain. Without the protection of the Demon Saint Overlord's power, it is basically difficult for him to integrate into the core of the demon race in the Northern Profound Domain.

Excluding the Western Heaven Domain and the Northern Xuan Domain, the Eastern Land Domain is a place where humanity is thriving, the Great Shang Dynasty suppresses everything, and rules and order exist. It is undoubtedly the most suitable place for cultivators to cultivate steadily.

However, one thing is certain: the Eastern Region is suitable for cultivators to develop, but it is not suitable for the growth of the Fighting Demon Ape.

Chen Beiwu then raised his eyes and looked at the Fighting Demon Ape.

"My target is the Northern Xuan Region," said the Fighting Demon Ape.

"I plan to go to the Eastern Region. It seems we'll have to say goodbye this time." Chen Beiwu did not try to dissuade him.

"There will be a day when we meet again." The Fighting Demon Ape gave Chen Beiwu a deep look: "I hope that by then you will have attained the Dao and become a True Venerable."

"You've narrowed your perspective. If we meet at the peak, I'll at least have to attain the Dao of Refining Emptiness," Chen Beiwu joked. "Don't regret it then."

Upon hearing this, the Fighting Demon Ape did not refute.

In its eyes, Chen Beiwu's talent was beyond comprehension, even surpassing its own, and he indeed had the potential to attain the Dao and refine the Void in the future.

"Buzz!"

Chen Beiwu took out two top-grade spirit stones and placed them on the seal mark containing the character "北".

"This is?"

The Fighting Demon Ape looked puzzled.

"It's alright, I'll take you to the testing altar first." Chen Beiwu said frankly, "You are a fifth-realm demon lord, even if this teleportation array is old and in disrepair and causes void turbulence, nothing will happen."

"You are honest." The Fighting Demon Ape had no objection.

Human cultivators are indeed physically weak.

After it attains the Dao of Demon Lord, unless a cultivator of the highest level personally intervenes, it can safely escape by relying on its true form through its bloodline.

"Buzz!"

Moments later, an unusual phenomenon occurred at the altar: the spirit stones shone brightly, and a cross-domain teleportation channel quietly formed.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Fighting Demon Ape stepped into the space passage once it stabilized.

In an instant, the altar trembled, and a pillar of light shot into the sky. The figure of the Fighting Demon Ape slowly disappeared into the pillar of light.

"Huh?" (Aren't you going in?)

"Golden Egg asked, puzzled."

Unlike high-grade spirit stones, top-grade spirit stones are true hard currency.

Most of the top-grade spirit stones that the Tianyuan Wei family gifted back then were used by Beiwu to prove the Dao of the Four Elements. The top-grade spirit stones that are now placed on the altar are the last two remaining.

Since they lack top-grade spirit stones to power the inter-domain altar, they might as well travel to the Northern Xuan Domain with the Fighting Demon Ape.

"Just two top-grade spirit stones. If I want them, I can exchange them within the sect at any time." Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg.

Even the most precious spirit stones cannot compare to a fifth-grade Creation Essence Medicine.

He is currently ranked among the top five in the Jade Purity Golden Book series, so he wouldn't be stingy with two top-grade spirit stones.

"To be on the safe side, we will activate the inter-domain altar after the Fighting Demon Ape spatial anchor point has stabilized."

At this point, Chen Beiwu closed his eyes and carefully sensed a constantly flickering and shifting spatial anchor point.

Before the teleportation, Chen Beiwu specially gifted the Fighting Demon Ape a token, which contained spatial anchor points that he had set up using the Ten Directions Gate.

"Huh?" (Did it work?)

Schiller's expression betrayed his nervousness.

The pond in the Southern Wilderness is too small, and there is no longer a suitable environment for the growth of quasi-Dao medicines, let alone sixth-order Heaven and Earth Dao medicines.

If the inter-domain teleportation channel fails, they will be trapped in the Southern Wilderness until the Great Array of Heaven and Earth is completely dispelled.

One day, two days, three days!

"It's done."

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Northern Mystic Domain is located north of the Endless Sea of ​​the Ten Thousand Yuan Star.

Judging from the location of the spatial anchor point, the Fighting Demon Ape should have successfully arrived in the Northern Xuan Region.

As for whether any dangers were encountered during the teleportation, that remains unknown.

"That's enough."

Schiller confidently patted his chest, indicating that he would protect Chen Beiwu from harm.

"Then it's up to you." Chen Beiwu smiled slightly.

He returned to the Immortal Alliance, where he instructed his two disciples, Xiao Yan and Chi Quan, and used the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's channels to purchase two top-grade spirit stones. He then returned to the depths of the Heavenly Star Road to study the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron.

"No!"

Schiller slumped to the ground, helplessly raising his hands.

Although it is a fifth-realm demon lord, it does not cultivate the Heavenly Abyss Dao, making it difficult to control the Heavenly Abyss Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, let alone find the Eight Heavenly Abyss Dragon Treasure Vault hidden inside the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.

"It's alright."

Chen Beiwu reached out and gently stroked Xue Le's head, his expression showing no surprise.

The Eight Heavens Abyss Dragon is, after all, a spirit of a Dao artifact, possessing unfathomable power and profound abilities. Their desire to find its treasure vault in a short time is indeed overly optimistic.

"Huh?" (When are we going to the Eastern Lands?)

Schiller immediately perked up.

"Today, right today." Chen Beiwu chuckled and put away the Heaven-Slaying Mirror in his hand.

The reason he didn't go to the Eastern Region immediately during this period was to thoroughly study the power of the Heavenly Mirror of Annihilation and make full preparations.

Now that everything is ready, we can naturally go to the Eastern Region to see just how prosperous that unified cultivation dynasty truly is.

"Buzz!"

With prior experience, Chen Beiwu collected the golden eggs and the others into the Mustard Spirit Ring, then activated the inter-domain altar and stepped onto the spatial passage.

In the Eastern Lands, during the Great Shang Dynasty.

The night was as dark as ink, with countless stars dotting the sky.

In the heart of the majestic imperial city stands a magnificent, golden palace.

The hall was brightly lit, with lamps of destiny arranged along the jade pillars on both sides of the hall, illuminating the figures of the cultivators below.

Her features were gentle, her face was angular and distinct, and she was dressed in a fairy robe with a bow, yet she had an air of authority that was not angry.

If any cultivators from the Eastern Region were here, they would surely be astonished.

The reason was that the immortal robes worn by the bowing cultivator were extraordinary; he was the Minister of Ceremonies, one of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers of the Great Shang Dynasty.

It should be known that those who can serve as the Three Dukes of the Great Shang Dynasty are all transcendent beings who are half-step into the Void Refinement stage.

Those who can serve as one of the Nine Ministers and oversee a department are at least highly respected masters of cultivation.

The Minister of Ceremonies was in charge of all matters related to the ancestral temple sacrifices, divination of the heavens, and the Fengshan ceremony of the Shang Dynasty. Due to his special status, the Minister of Ceremonies in the present day had the highest cultivation level among the Nine Ministers, and was a transcendent being who had reached the half-step Refinement Void realm.

Even such a figure had to bow slightly and show sufficient reverence when facing the noble figure on the stage dressed in a black bird robe.

That awe was not out of fear of the supreme power of the Great Shang Dynasty, but rather because of its unfathomable cultivation.

The reason is that the cultivator sitting on the dragon throne is the Emperor of Ten Thousand Immortals of the Great Shang Dynasty, a terrifying existence hailed as the "Immortal Emperor" by countless cultivators in the Eastern Region.

"The secrets of heaven have changed, becoming increasingly obscure. Can you find the source?"

As the indifferent voice rang out, the Minister of Ceremonies straightened his expression: "Your subject is incompetent. Just now, I tried to deduce the secrets of heaven on the Astronomical Observatory, but I gained nothing."

"Is it incompetence, lack of results, or are you simply unwilling to speak?"

The indifferent voice rang out again.

"It is my incompetence, Your Majesty, please forgive me." The Minister of Ceremonies bowed deeply.

"Indeed incompetent. Very well, you may leave."

"Yes."

The Minister of Ceremonies did not look up, but stepped back and left.

"It's just that the Imperial Star has moved and the Purple Star has dimmed; what's there to be afraid to say?"

The Great Shang Immortal Emperor raised his eyes to look at the celestial phenomena in the sky, his expression calm.

What is destiny? I am destiny!

She was able to devour the dragon with the divine phoenix destiny and become the ruler of the Great Shang Dynasty, so naturally she would not be afraid of the changes in the heavens.

After a dizzying spin, Chen Beiwu gradually regained consciousness.

There was no way around it. Even though he had traveled between the two worlds countless times and was already used to spatial teleportation, this inter-domain teleportation was simply too exaggerated and far less reliable than the Gate of Ten Directions.

[Tianyuan Dao Sect]

Glancing at the stone tablet in the distance, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to explore the surroundings.

Unsurprisingly, this place is a branch of the Tianyuan Dao Sect in the Eastern Region, but it has long been abandoned due to the lack of cultivators managing it.

"Such a faint spark of inspiration!"

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Logically speaking, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Eastern Region should far surpass that of the devastated Southern Wilderness Region.

But the truth is quite the opposite; the spiritual energy here is extremely scarce, and there isn't even a third-order spiritual vein.

"Eek." (This should be a dilapidated true realm.)

After carefully sensing the situation, Zhiling gave a reminder.

Chen Beiwu nodded, activated his escape light, and quickly found the exit of the True Realm.

"Is this the Eastern Lands recorded in ancient books?" Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback.

What's going on?

After leaving the Tianyuan Dao Sect ruins, the spiritual energy from the outside world became even thinner, and there wasn't even a second-tier spiritual vein.

"Could it be that we were teleported to the wrong place?" Chen Beiwu frowned slightly.

Even in remote areas of the Southern Wilderness, second-tier spiritual veins are not uncommon.

To determine their current location, Chen Beiwu and Xue Le activated their escape light together, spreading their divine senses to search for traces of people nearby.

Schiller, with his powerful spiritual sense, was the first to find human traces and guided Chen Beiwu in the right direction.

"Is this the person you found?" Chen Beiwu's eyes were somewhat strange.

At the same time, the white-haired woodcutter who was cutting down trees also spotted Chen Beiwu.

"Who are you? Could it be that you too have come seeking immortality and the Dao?"

The woodcutter's language was not the Mandarin of the Eastern Lands recorded in the Southern Wilderness Classics, but at Chen Beiwu's level, he could easily understand the other person's emotions and thoughts without needing language, and incidentally learn the local dialect as well.

"That's right, do you know where there are immortals spreading their teachings?" Chen Beiwu asked with great interest.

"Young man, immortals reside in the imperial court. This is a desolate wilderness; how could immortals exist here?"

The woodcutter shook his head, telling Chen Beiwu to hurry down the mountain to avoid being eaten by jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

"I see. I got lost while searching for immortality. Could you take me down the mountain?" Chen Beiwu said without any politeness.

"Do you have any copper coins? Give me ten coins and I'll take you down the mountain."

95

"Can."

Chen Beiwu immediately agreed.

Half an hour later, with the woodcutter leading the way, Chen Beiwu successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

"Huh?"

Schiller tilted his head, not understanding why Beiwu was suddenly chatting with a leopard spirit.

"What, are you suggesting we just kill the Soul Searcher?"

After watching the woodcutter leave, Chen Beiwu glanced at Xue Le.

This leopard demon wasn't very powerful; it was only a minor demon at the second realm.

To be able to cultivate to the second realm in such a remote place, and not to feed on human lives, the other party is undoubtedly a typical example of someone who is single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, only lacking in bloodline aptitude.

As for intelligence, Chen Beiwu had already obtained the information he wanted during his conversation with the leopard spirit.

This place is Lushui Mountain in Shu County, which belongs to Minxin Prefecture and is far from the center of the Shang Dynasty.

This place is extremely remote, with little spiritual energy and very few cultivators. Generally, only officials who have committed serious crimes are demoted to this place.

"Huh?"

Schiller frowned, still not understanding why Beiwu was wasting his time here.

Minxin County is remote, so they could have gone to the capital city, which is rich in resources and has countless natural treasures, as soon as possible.

"You don't understand, we're unregistered right now," Chen Beiwu said speechlessly.

The Great Shang Dynasty was not a mortal dynasty, but rather a cultivation dynasty that was very likely presided over by a Daoist master who had mastered the Refinement of Emptiness.

For Chen Beiwu, rushing into the capital of the Shang Dynasty, a place teeming with powerful figures and talented people, would do more harm than good. It would be better to be more cautious and start developing his power in Minxin County, without having to rush things.

The reason is simple: the governors of Minxin Prefecture were mostly Nascent Soul True Lords who had been demoted by the Shang Dynasty. They were not valued and it was impossible to find their whereabouts. They were highly manipulable.

In this situation, they might have a chance to obtain a clean identity in Minxin County that could deceive the Heavenly Secrets divination.
