Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 659 Fire Cloud Palace Appears

"What's going on?"

Li Dongbin frowned slightly and subconsciously looked towards the cave where Chen Beiwu was.

It's one thing that Gu Qinghan, the True Venerable of Taiyin, was able to slightly defeat him, but how exactly did Chen Beiwu manage to do it?

"It is the Primordial Profound Understanding!" Xuan Tan Yang Jun said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Dongbin glanced at Xuantan Yangjun, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Is that what surprised him?

He had seen the Primordial Profound Power before, and even knew that this power was called the Primordial True Beast. It had two major effects: the Dharma Image Approaching the God and the Primordial Unity with the True. It could use the Primordial Dharma Image and the Fellow Beast to stimulate the bloodline, allowing the Fellow Beast's bloodline to resonate and display an unprecedented appearance.

What truly surprised Li Dongbin was that, with the blessing of Yuanshi Xuantong, the peculiar sword vine actually increased its cultivation level to 19999 years, almost breaking through the realm barrier and stepping halfway into the mid-stage of the Demon Venerable realm.

That would be fine, but according to the common knowledge of the Immortal Alliance, if Chen Beiwu does not reach the Nascent Soul True Venerable realm, it is almost impossible for him and the Tongcan Beast to break through the realm barrier and completely enter the mid-stage of the Demon Venerable realm.

But on what basis?

Despite both being at the peak of the early stage of the Demon Lord realm, Xuan Tan Yang Jun's efficiency in drawing upon and seizing the essence of heaven and earth was less than one-fifth that of the peculiar sword vine.

"Perhaps it's because of his extraordinary talent, or perhaps it's because of his unique and profound bloodline," Xuan Tan Yang Jun speculated.

The bloodline of the Five Qi Vine clan is inherently diverse, originating from the legendary Primordial Five Elements Ancestral Tree. It is naturally in harmony with heaven and earth, and it seems reasonable that it would develop some supernatural abilities after becoming a Demon Lord, attracting the origin of heaven and earth.

You call this reasonable?

Li Dongbin took a deep breath, then formed a hand seal. Behind him, six radiant suns appeared and disappeared, illuminating a majestic Dharma Heaven and Earth.

With the blessing of the Divine Transformation Dharma Image, Xuan Tan Yang Jun squinted his eyes contentedly. The strange phenomena manifested by his true form of bloodline became more and more spectacular, as he intended to forcibly extract streams of the origin of heaven and earth from the Tongtian Sword Vine.

Of course, with your help, I'm confident I can suppress that giant vine.

Xuan Tan Yang Jun stood confidently with his head held high, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

So what if the Chaoyuan Vine has mutated bloodline? In the face of such an extraordinary existence, everything is reasonable.

"Don't get too confident and forget your real opponent." Li Dongbin glanced at the Tongcan Beast.

Although the Pure Yang Fundamental Immortal Technique he cultivated was powerful enough to maintain the full operation of the "Supreme Primordial Stealing Heaven and Ascending to Immortality Scripture" for three months, in the end he could only successfully refine three or four of the origins of heaven and earth at most.

During this period, if he can successfully use these sources of heaven and earth to enter the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he can take the opportunity to reach the core of the Fire Cloud Blessed Land and try to become the master of that quasi-sixth-order blessed land.

In comparison, although Chen Beiwu, in conjunction with the Tongcan Beast, displayed unexpected profound abilities and devoured most of the origin of heaven and earth, in terms of the degree of threat, he was certainly not as great as the Taiyin True Venerable who was able to further peek into the Fire Cloud Blessed Land.

The reason is simple: Gu Qinghan possesses the top-tier Taiyin Body. Under the condition of Yin giving rise to Yang, he may well surpass him and discover the core situation of Huoyun Palace before him, thus seizing the Dao lineage of this realm.

Sensing Li Dongbin's thoughts, Xuantan Yangjun lowered his eyes, abandoned his plan to compete with Tongtian Sword Vine, and instead began to plunder the primordial energy of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit phantom.

Inside another cave.

It's still a bit lacking.

Gu Qinghan's expression was cold and aloof. His gaze passed over the two towering phantom figures of demon lords outside and landed on the entrance of the Fire Cloud Blessed Land.

The origin of heaven and earth in the Great Forest Realm is indeed precious, but unfortunately, her cultivation level is currently limited. At most, she is just a small shrimp, and she can only refine a few of the origins of heaven and earth. The real majority have been obtained by the cultivation giants of Taiyin Cave Heaven and Yuqing Immortal Sect.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Gu Qinghan's goal has always been the core of Huoyun Blessed Land, rather than the origin of the Great Forest Realm.

Since you all want the origin of the Great Forest Realm, then I'll give you some.

Gu Qinghan activated the Taiyin Fundamental Immortal Technique, choosing to change his strategy and only take one source of the Great Forest Realm.

Based on this origin, she was confident that she could use the Jade Rabbit to open the core of the Fire Cloud Palace and witness the demeanor of a half-step Void Refinement cultivator.

Then the Jade Rabbit that blotted out the sun in the sky dimmed slightly, and its phantom rapidly shrank, but the demonic aura emanating from its body became even more unfathomable.

"Huh?"

Seeing that the Jade Rabbit phantom chose to back down, Xue Le blinked, his eyes filled with undisguised doubt.

"Don't overthink it, just refine as much as you can," Chen Beiwu reminded him with his divine sense.

Under the nourishment of the origin of heaven and earth in the Great Forest Realm, Schiller's soul, physical body, qi and bloodline all began to show visible changes.

Compared to this fundamental transformation of life, this overt competition is nothing.

Schiller let out a soft cry, no longer surprised by the changes in the Jade Rabbit's illusory image, and focused all his attention on cooperating with Chen Beiwu in refining the origin of the Great Forest Realm.

January passed in the blink of an eye.

Nourished by the Great Forest Realm's primordial essence for a long time, the transformation of the true form of the bloodline within Schiller's body gradually came to an end, and the true form sword tip exuded a profound and mysterious Taiyi Dao charm.

This Daoist aura was not obvious at first, but as time went by, the oppressive feeling it exuded grew stronger and stronger, like a newly sharpened immortal sword revealing its full brilliance.

Even though the Golden Egg possessed the cultivation of a Fifth Realm Demon Venerable, it could still instinctively sense a deathly aura beneath the sword's sharp edge.

Even Jin Dan reacted this way, and the three little guys, Tie Dan, Zhi Ling, and A Ji, were even more shocked and breathless, staring blankly as Xue Le's cultivation level skyrocketed.

15555 years!

16666 years!

18888 years!

When Xue Le came to his senses and was able to control the true form of his bloodline, his cultivation level had already surged to 19999 years, just one step away from the mid-stage of the Demon Lord realm. It seemed that he could cross that threshold at any moment, but he was still missing a bit of perfection.

Upon realizing this, Golden Egg was speechless, a look of envy flashing in his eyes.

hateful!

It had only been a few years since it became the most skilled player in the team, but it was overtaken again by Schiller and relegated to second place.

Schiller didn't think too much about it. Through the changes in the true form of its bloodline, it vaguely comprehended a profound technique called Taiyi True Understanding.

As the name suggests, the profound effect of Taiyi True Understanding is very simple. Xuele only needs to activate the true form of his bloodline to use the power of the Five Elements to overcome the barrier of Five Qi Converging to the Origin, laying the foundation of Taiyi True Understanding for contracted cultivators and greatly increasing the probability of attaining the Dao and transforming into a deity.

It's no exaggeration to say that this effect alone is enough to make the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance extremely envious.

Moreover, the Taiyi True Understanding and Profound Insight has another wonderful use: it has a certain probability of increasing the rank of the Contracted Cultivator's Heavenly Manifestation after attaining the Dao.

"Hey!" (It's safe now!)

Schiller's eyes lit up.

With the help of this profound technique, Bei Wu no longer needs to worry about failing to attain the Dao and transform into a deity.

"As the sect leader said, the bloodline in Schiller's body is indeed in harmony with the origin of the Great Forest Realm!" Chen Beiwu's mind stirred slightly.

Schiller underwent such changes simply by refining the origins of the four Great Forest Realms.

The Nine Breaths Chaos devoured dozens of Great Forest Realm origins, yet it remained completely unchanged.

Just then, in another cave...

Gu Qinghan suddenly opened his eyes, his aura surged, and the Supreme Moon Palace faintly appeared behind him.

almost!

She slightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the jade rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit's eyes flashed red, and its tiny body instantly transformed into a scroll of celestial silk imbued with rich moonlight.

"rise!"

Gu Qinghan stretched out his left hand and flicked his right index and middle fingers upwards. The Tai Xian Ling, transformed from the Tongcan Beast in front of him, shimmered with silver light. With the help of the connection between Wansen Rift Valley and Huoyun Blessed Land, he traversed space and appeared in the core depths of Huoyun Palace in an instant.

"not good!"

Li Dongbin's eyes changed slightly. No longer coveting the Daoist essence of the Great Forest Realm, he also chose to unleash his secret technique, transforming the Xuan Tan Yang Jun into a pure Yang sword, closely following behind Tai Xian Ling.

At that very moment, in a luxurious hall within the Fire Cloud Palace.

The main hall doors were open. Inside, there were no lights, no chairs, and no decorations. Only a crimson halo was rising and falling, as if a living thing was breathing.

If a True Immortal from the Immortal Alliance were here, they could easily discover, with a single probe of their divine sense, that a massive stone platform lay within the crimson halo.

The stone platform was about ten feet long, and in the very center was a three-legged cauldron. The aura emanating from it was more ancient and ancient than that of the entire main hall, or even the entire Fire Cloud Blessed Land.

At the end of the cauldron, there is a faint, dark Daoist aura, as if a cultivator had left words on it to warn future generations.

However, as time has passed, most of the inscriptions on the tripod have been worn away by the years, and it is impossible to see much information at all, leaving only a few irregular lines.

"Death is a difficult calamity to overcome; it is fate, it is destiny!"

Inside the cauldron, a figure sat cross-legged, murmuring softly.

He was tall with broad shoulders and a handsome face. He wore a dark red Taoist robe, and flames rose continuously beneath him, emitting an extreme heat that would make even a Nascent Soul True Venerable tremble.

It is no exaggeration to say that the tiny sparks that occasionally fly off these flames while burning may seem insignificant, but in reality they possess the terrifying power to instantly take the life of a Fifth Realm Demon Lord.

But in the eyes of this red-robed cultivator, the flames beneath him were like a gentle breeze, utterly insignificant. Instead, the three cultivators outside the Fire Cloud Blessed Land successfully attracted his attention.

"The Taiyin physique possesses unparalleled talent, giving it the potential to reign supreme in the world."

"Pure Yang essence, taking Kan to fill Li, supernatural powers are unrestrained, the Great Dao is within reach."

After offering a brief comment, the red-robed cultivator paused, his gaze lingering on Chen Beiwu, and he uttered a soft "What kind of style is this?"

It wasn't that he lacked eyesight and couldn't see the path within Chen Beiwu's body; rather, it was that the great Dao that the latter had reached in his cultivation transcended form. It seemed complex, but in reality, the great Daos shared the same origin and merged into one. The source could be traced, but it was difficult to discern its specific depth.

"Interesting, truly interesting! Even I, an old man, cannot forge the Great Dao and create my own. I never expected a mere junior from beyond this realm to possess such ambition!"

The red-robed cultivator laughed heartily, then waved his sleeve, drawing the Tai Xian Silk and the Pure Yang Sword into the Fire Cloud Palace. At the same time, he activated his fundamental Daoist techniques, reflecting the Daoist essence of the Fire Cloud Palace.

In an instant, the world before Chen Beiwu, Gu Qinghan, and Li Dongbin suddenly changed, and their divine senses appeared on the stone platform of the Fire Cloud Palace.

The three exchanged glances, and Li Dongbin was the first to break the silence: "How many strands of the Great Forest Realm's Heaven and Earth Origin have you refined?"

"One way," Gu Qinghan said calmly.

Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Four."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongbin couldn't help but give Chen Beiwu a deep look.

What a great speed!

Like Gu Qinghan, he only refined one strand of the Great Forest Realm's Heaven and Earth Origin before beginning to touch the core of the Fire Cloud Blessed Land.

"sharp."

Gu Qinghan gave a word of praise and looked at the alchemical cauldron in the center of the stone platform.

Her intuition told her that this cauldron was the core hub of the entire Fire Cloud Palace, and the opportunities she was looking for on this trip were mostly inside the cauldron.

"There's only one alchemy cauldron, how are we going to divide it?" Li Dongbin asked bluntly.

"The winner takes all. How about the three of us have a sparring match? Whoever wins will be the first to access and refine the cauldron," Gu Qinghan suggested.

"A three-way brawl?" Li Dongbin frowned slightly.

"I don't care. You two can join forces if you want," Gu Qinghan said casually.

Chen Beiwu glanced at the alchemy cauldron and remained silent for a long time.

The reason is simple: the fortune permeating the cauldron is truly terrifying.

It was so terrifying that Chen Beiwu suspected that a half-step Void Refinement cultivator was hiding inside, or rather, was slumbering there.

"Please feel free to explore, both of you. I can explore last."

Chen Beiwu took a step back, indicating that he did not intend to be the first to explore.

Neither Gu Qinghan nor Li Dongbin showed any surprise at this.

Undoubtedly, among the three present, Chen Beiwu, who had not yet attained the Dao Transformation True Venerable status, was the weakest.

Since Chen Beiwu wisely chose to back down at this moment, they naturally had no intention of causing any further trouble.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin faced each other from a distance, with a hazy, indistinct world of laws and phenomena beginning to manifest behind them.

"How about we stop here and decide the winner using the Dharma?" Li Dongbin suggested.

"Okay," Gu Qinghan readily agreed.

"Huh?" (Are we really not going to fight?)

"Huh?" (Are you really going to watch it like that?)

Both the golden egg and the sher were using their divine senses to remind Chen Beiwu.

The former believed that they were not without the ability to fight, while the latter, driven by a surge of bloodlust and their innate nature, believed that a once-in-a-millennium elixir of creation existed within the cauldron.

Being fast in one step does not mean being fast in every step.

Chen Beiwu remained calm and decided to let Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin go first to test the waters.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The clash between the laws of heaven and earth was extremely magnificent. Chen Beiwu watched the battle from the sidelines and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the insignificance of the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image.

Three days and three nights later, Li Dongbin groaned and staggered back dozens of steps, even the Xuan Tan Yang Jun beside him suffered considerable injuries.

Gu Qinghan's breathing remained steady, and he appeared aloof and at ease. Even the jade rabbit on his shoulder showed stable energy and no signs of injury.

Li Dongbin took a deep breath, accepting his defeat, and voluntarily stepped back.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Beiwu and Li Dongbin, Gu Qinghan took a step and slowly walked to the ancient alchemy cauldron.

Gu Qinghan examined the cauldron for a moment, then tapped it lightly with his fingertips before closing his fingers and slapping the cauldron's mouth with his palm.

"Knock knock knock!"

The cauldron remained unmoved, showing no unusual behavior whatsoever; only a muffled sound rang out, let alone any refining process.

One day, two days, three days.

No matter how many times Gu Qinghan tried, the result remained unchanged.

So she took a step back and stopped insisting.

Seeing this, Li Dongbin felt relieved and slowly stepped forward.

He did not intend to forcefully open the alchemy cauldron. Instead, he activated the Pure Yang Cave Heaven Immortal Technique to resonate with the cauldron and made some grand vows in his heart.

If he can inherit the Daoist lineage of the Fire Cloud Palace, he will surely manage the earth's spiritual veins, extract the essence of the stars, and protect this world.

But the cauldron in front of him remained silent, without any movement, let alone opening up the lineage of the Fire Cloud Palace.

"call out!"

Seeing that Li Dongbin had given up after trying for several days, Chen Beiwu appeared in front of the alchemy cauldron in a flash.

But at this moment, he vaguely sensed a sense of unease, as if the Purple Gold Canopy position was giving him a warning.
