Chapter 11 The Bronze Gate
As the talismans engraved on the walls of the cultivation room lit up one by one, the spiritual energy in the room gathered like a swarm of bees on the futon on the jade floor tiles, transforming into wisps of barely perceptible spiritual light that continuously seeped into Chen Beiwu's body.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Transforming the boiling, mercury-like spiritual energy within his dantian into the power of the Myriad Beasts Technique, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and exhaled a visible wisp of air.
The stream of air emitted a sound like brocade being torn apart, and lingered in the air for two breaths before slowly dissipating.
"My cultivation speed is 30% faster than before, but the spiritual energy in the cultivation room is a bit insufficient." Chen Beiwu looked at the dimly colored talismans around him.
The higher a cultivator's realm, the more spiritual energy they need for cultivation and absorption.
The amount of spiritual energy supplied daily in a mid-grade first-level cultivation room is limited. It can sustain the daily cultivation of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, but it cannot meet his cultivation needs.
Unless he is willing to spend a lot of spirit stones to upgrade his home cultivation room to a first-grade superior level.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but shake his head.
It's no wonder that it's difficult for outstanding individuals to emerge from humble backgrounds.
Disciples of immortal cultivation families can pave a path to immortality with a large amount of spirit stones, while ordinary people can only scrimp and save by breaking down their low-grade spirit stones in order to pursue that unattainable dream of immortality.
Of course, some cultivators also choose to find other shortcuts.
As far as Chen Beiwu knew, some of the powerful figures in the three major organizations of the Immortal Alliance rose to prominence by receiving their first pot of gold from their wives' families.
If he didn't possess a divine treasure, without resources, he would probably have had to rely on or even marry into a family of cultivators to achieve immortality, as Liu Yan suggested.
"Unfortunately, my strength is too weak, and my Nine Breaths Breath Control technique is only at the beginner level. I can't unleash the full power of Nine Breaths Chaos at all," Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
Every time he entered the Nine Breaths Chaos Land, he could feel the supreme power contained within this treasure.
Unfortunately, his strength is currently weak and his luck is not strong enough, so he can only use the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power to barely pry open a trace of the power of the Chaos Land.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, extinguished the distracting thoughts in his mind, took out the jade slip given to him by Chen Qin from his pocket, and then pressed it against his forehead to activate his magic power.
"Buzz!" The surface of the jade slip emitted a faint light, and the information contained within it surged into his mind along with the resonance of magical power.
After a long while, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in them.
The information Qin Jie gave him was almost identical to what he had previously looked up, but it included two more water-type spirit beasts with extremely powerful evolution paths.
[Variety]: Azure Wave Carp
[Attribute]: Water
[Bloodline]: Second-tier, superior grade (Spirit Beast)
[Talent]: Water Affinity (Born with water-attribute spiritual energy, able to manipulate water flow to create illusions and confuse opponents)
[Upgradeable]: Azure Scaled Treasure Dragon (Mid-grade Tier 3 Treasure Beast), Purple Scaled Dragon (High-grade Tier 3 Treasure Beast)...
[Evaluation]: The Azure Wave Spirit Carp often appears in spiritual springs, enjoys feeding on the essence of moonlight, and is the best among the spirit carp. It possesses a trace of dragon blood within its body. If it can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, it can transform into a dragon and wield the power of rivers.
Chen Beiwu was increasingly delighted as he looked at it.
Compared to the alternative Azure Spirit Salamander, the Azure Wave Spirit Carp undoubtedly has greater potential and a more promising future.
The only drawback is that the Azure Wave Spirit Carp's combat power is too weak in the early stages, even less than one-tenth of the former's.
However, if he can raise the Azure Wave Spirit Carp to adulthood, its combat power will far exceed that of the Azure Spirit Salamander, and it may even have the opportunity to transform into a dragon.
With the Azure Wave Spirit Carp on his top shortlist, Chen Beiwu recalled information about another promising spirit beast in his mind.
[Species]: Water Turtle
[Attribute]: Water, Yin Yang (Hidden)
[Bloodline]: Second-tier, superior grade (Spirit Beast)
[Talent]: Yin and Yang (Bearing Yin and Yang armor, capable of supporting a water realm)
[Can be upgraded]: Xuan Shui Ming Turtle (Tier 3 High-Grade Treasure Beast), Tai Ming Xuan Turtle (Tier 4 Mystic Beast)...
[Evaluation]: The Mingshui Spirit Turtle often appears in rivers and seas, and likes to swallow the waters of the four seas. It needs to encounter a tribulation of lightning to activate its own talent, and draw the waters of the four seas in its body to form a miniature water realm to suppress the rivers and seas. It is the exclusive spirit beast of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect, one of the thirteen immortal sects.
Those who successfully form a contract with the Mysterious Water Tortoise can enter the sect without taking an exam and directly enter the Dongxuan Immortal Sect to comprehend the Supreme Dongxuan Spiritual Treasure Scripture.
Those cultivators who successfully cultivate by borrowing beasts using the "Supreme Cave Mystery Spirit Treasure Scripture" have the opportunity to nurture the Mingshui Spirit Turtle into the legendary Beiming Xuanwu, which can suppress the Milky Way.
Chen Beiwu was increasingly surprised by what he thought about it.
The Netherworld Spirit Turtle is an exclusive spirit beast of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and is never allowed to leave the sect. How could it suddenly appear in the Spirit Beast Pavilion of the Meteor Dragon Mansion?
But what surprised him even more than all of that was where Sister Qin got her firsthand information.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just then, Chen Beiwu's expression changed, his heart rate surged wildly, and dark golden lines appeared on the surface of the magical power flowing through his body, forming a mysterious and obscure talisman.
"What's going on?!"
Before he could react, a burst of dazzling golden light erupted. Soon, as the golden light dissipated, the cultivation room was completely empty.
When Chen Beiwu regained consciousness, he was already in the Nine Breaths Chaos Land.
Unlike before, he tried to move his arm, but found that he could not move, as if his body had become one with this chaotic world.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
As a blinding, seven-colored light swept past Chen Beiwu's right side, amidst a deafening roar, this undifferentiated realm, this land where heaven and earth were not yet separated, where yin and yang were not yet distinct, began to transform.
The seven-colored light drew out tiny cracks, which then quickly spread to form a huge fissure.
Within the crack, a colossal bronze gate, beyond description, slowly emerged.
It is about a thousand feet wide and its height is unknown. It is like a gate supporting the sky, and the gate is engraved with countless ancient and magnificent runes.
These runes sometimes transform into a sky full of stars, sometimes into a magnificent galaxy, and sometimes into mountains and rivers, exuding a timeless aura that makes one's heart tremble.
"What is this...!"
Under Chen Beiwu's gaze, the bronze giant gate emitted a deafening roar, then slowly opened, revealing the distorted space inside.
It was a black hole that seemed to have no end, like the beginning of heaven and earth, and also the final destination of all things.
I don't know how much time has passed; maybe a minute, maybe a day, or maybe a year.
As the ancient radiance emanating from the bronze gate filled Chen Beiwu's vision, his head sank, and his consciousness vanished once more.
……
Sunlight filters through the thin leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the land.
"Tick-tock!"
Glistening dewdrops fell from the verdant branches and leaves, dripping onto the forehead of a sleeping person and waking them from their dream.
"Such rich spiritual energy!" Chen Beiwu opened his eyes in surprise as he smelled the fresh scent of grass and trees in the air.
However, the next second, a glimpse of green light at the edge of his vision made him tense up, afraid to move at all.
