Chapter 407 The Secret of Jade Purity
"Senior Brother Chen, are you sure you want to do a live stream?" Tong Hui's voice was filled with shock.
The top senior is really confident!
Live streaming and recorded broadcasts are two completely different concepts.
The former has no tolerance for error; success is success, and failure is failure, while the latter can be edited and changed at any time.
To put it bluntly, among the thirteen immortal sects of the Immortal Alliance, not a single Golden Core cultivator dares to say that they are absolutely certain of successfully attaining the Dao of a True Monarch.
Even the Golden Core prodigies of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens are probably no exception.
Brother Chen dares to suggest live-streaming the process of becoming a True Lord of the Dao? Aren't you afraid of failing and becoming a clown in everyone's eyes?
"Why, is that not allowed?"
Sensing the concern in Tong Hui's tone, Chen Beiwu asked in return.
"Yes, it is possible. In the past three hundred years, the Golden Core prodigies of the Thirteen Immortal Sects have also held two live broadcasts of their attainment of the Dao True Monarch status."
At this point, Tong Hui paused slightly, then gave a tactful example: "But they all failed."
"The one from the Great Luo Immortal Sect couldn't even pass the Shattered Core stage. Although he survived by chance, he was utterly disgraced. The one from the Upper Clarity Immortal Sect died from the tribulations of inner and outer demons, his body and soul vanished."
We must heed the lessons of the past.
With these two failed examples before them, none of the Golden Core prodigies of the Thirteen Immortal Sects considered live streaming when they were proving their Dao as True Monarchs.
"So, in other words, no one in the Immortal Alliance has ever successfully livestreamed their attainment of the True Monarch realm?" Chen Beiwu asked with interest.
"Yes," Tong Hui replied calmly.
Senior Brother Chen is the chief disciple of the Jade Purity Sect in this generation, representing the face of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
If the live broadcast of the Dao attainment of True Monarch fails, it will undoubtedly be a broadcasting accident, and even the sect's reputation will be damaged.
To avoid taking the blame, even though she agreed with Senior Brother Chen's suggestion, she had to repeatedly remind him of the consequences of failing to prove the Dao of the True Lord through live streaming.
"Very good. If the publicity department is in charge of this live broadcast, are you confident that Junior Sister Tong can do a good job?" Chen Beiwu asked succinctly.
"I'm confident, but the sect needs to report it and get approval before we can start the live stream," Tong Hui replied.
"I'll handle the application from the sect; Junior Sister Tong just needs to focus on her livestreaming."
"Yes, Chief."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Beiwu opened the official website of Yuqing Immortal Sect.
The Nine Breaths of Breathing: Gathering, Circulating, Dissipating, Suppressing, Calamity, Position, Conferring, Edict, Immortal!
This live broadcast of the Dao Proving True Monarch was a good attempt.
If this live stream allows him to gather the power of the Immortal Alliance cultivators to cultivate his fortune, even if he can only refine one ten-thousandth of it, it will still increase his fortune considerably and enable him to bear a stronger destiny.
Yuqing Palace.
"Interesting. I heard you want to livestream your ascension to the True Monarch realm to enhance your sect's prestige?"
The Jade Purity Sect Leader looked at Chen Beiwu.
-
Chen Beiwu nodded slightly.
He was somewhat surprised. He had only submitted an application to conduct a live broadcast of his spiritual practice, trying to find another way to acquire fortune. He never expected that it would alarm the sect leader.
Before Chen Beiwu could answer, the sect leader looked towards the sky outside the hall: "It's good that young people have ideas. But you should understand that this concerns the sect's reputation. Once this matter is decided, there will be no turning back. Only success is allowed; failure is not an option. Do you understand?"
"Please rest assured, Master, this disciple will never fail."
Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, his eyes showing no hesitation.
He possesses the blessing of the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon rank and has cultivated an unparalleled foundation. If he can't even pass the test of becoming a True Monarch, then what's the point of cultivating immortality? He might as well go back to his hometown and work as a bricklayer!
"Very good, a 95% chance of success is safe enough, but it's still not enough to be sure."
"Very well, this concerns the sect's reputation. I'll fill in the remaining half of the variables for you."
Before the sect leader finished speaking, a warm, blue light appeared in the void.
Within the azure light, a ninth-grade azure jade lotus platform slowly rotated, emanating an obscure and mysterious aura.
Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted slightly as he instinctively sensed danger, and his gaze subconsciously turned to the sect leader.
"This treasure is called the Jade Purity Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform. When a genius who has reached the Golden Core stage breaks through, he sits on the lotus platform and can use its wonders to comprehend the Dao through divine intervention, greatly reducing the risk of shattering the core and breaking through the inner and outer demonic tribulations. I can lend it to you for the time being."
"Thank you for lending me this treasure, Sect Leader. I will certainly live up to your trust." Chen Beiwu bowed and reached out his hands to accept the lotus platform.
"Buzz!"
The moment his hands touched the lotus platform, Chen Beiwu felt as if he were holding a star.
weight!
So heavy it cannot be moved!
You should know that with his current cultivation level, he could easily lift a thousand-foot mountain using the Primordial True Power, but he was met with a wall in front of this lotus platform with a diameter of less than one foot.
"Sect Leader, what grade is this lotus platform?"
Realizing that continuing would be futile, Chen Beiwu decisively withdrew his hands and asked.
"These special artifacts don't have a specific rank." The sect leader smiled calmly. "It's normal that you can't lift them since you haven't yet attained the True Monarch realm. Let me do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lotus platform instantly transformed into a beam of azure light and fell into the sect leader's palm.
Sect Leader: "Where do you intend to form your nascent soul?"
"Qingming Peak, Shuiyan Residence," Chen Beiwu replied.
Qingming Peak possesses a fifth-order spiritual vein. If all the restrictions are activated, restoring the spiritual energy of Shuiyanju Cave to the fifth-order level, it would be sufficient to meet his spiritual energy needs as a Dao-proving True Monarch.
The sect leader nodded slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the Jade Purity Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform vanished without a trace.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, Chen Beiwu's identity jade slip sent a reminder that the cave's restrictions had been triggered.
"It's alright. This is an alarm triggered by my sending the Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform into your cave," the sect leader explained.
Chen Beiwu nodded, indicating that he was now preparing to go back to his secluded training to break through his current limitations.
"By the way, the spirit of this lotus platform has a rather particular personality." The sect leader advised, "Before you sit down, you must bathe with fourth-grade Xuan water, burn sandalwood incense to purify your mind, recite the Jade Purity Tranquilizing Mantra, perform the Seven Star Yu Steps, circle the lotus platform three times, and pour a cup of precious wine before you can sit down."
"Note that one cup of third-grade treasure wine is enough; pouring fourth-grade mystic wine may cause problems."
Chen Beiwu nodded solemnly, keeping all the precautions in mind.
This is the drawback of using high-level components.
Because most high-level artifacts possess highly spiritual artifact spirits, and these artifact spirits have their own rules.
If his cultivation level is high enough to attract the attention of the artifact spirit, then perhaps the rules can be ignored when refining it.
Conversely, given his shallow cultivation level, the more he does, the more mistakes he makes, and obeying the rules of the artifact spirit is the best way to utilize its power.
Watching Chen Beiwu's disappearing figure, Protector Qinghe remained unmoved.
Protector Yuyue blinked and asked curiously, "Sect Leader, did you bestow the Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform because you feared Chen Beiwu would fail in his quest to become a True Monarch?"
"It's just adding an extra layer of insurance," the Jade Purity Sect Leader said with a deep gaze.
The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.
The ancient god of the source, which the Ancient Demon Cult reveres and worships, is not ethereal or elusive, but rather an existence that is difficult to observe.
Such a majestic being would instill curiosity and apprehension even in the Venerable Refining Void; otherwise, the Ancient Demonic Sect would never have survived to this day.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance allowed the Ancient Demon Sect to exist was simply to study the Ancient Gods and find another path to becoming a Boundless Immortal through their existence.
"I hope my guess is wrong. Xiao Yu should know what he can and cannot do," the Jade Purity Sect Leader sighed inwardly.
Qingming Peak.
"Come see me immediately!"
As soon as Chen Beiwu stepped into the foot of the mountain, he heard a message from his master.
Clearly, although the master had been in seclusion, he was not completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Deep within the Azure Sea Cave.
-
When the sun rises, the wood element flourishes; when the waves are still, the water element shines.
In the center of the clear pool, a figure blends seamlessly with the heavens and earth, visible to the naked eye but unknowable to the divine.
Just like their last meeting, no matter how hard Chen Beiwu tried to activate his divine sense, he couldn't detect any trace of his master's presence.
Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine.
As expected, whether it was a Golden Core True Person or a Nascent Soul True Monarch, they were no different from ants in front of a Divine Transformation True Venerable.
"Bei Wu, do you know who the genius of the previous generation of the sect was who forged the Primordial Golden Core?" Dongming Changqing True Venerable turned around and asked.
"Zeng Heng, honorific title: True Lord Xuanji," Chen Beiwu said.
"Do you know why True Lord Xuanji perished?"
"He who sought the Dao to become a true master unfortunately failed, and his body and Dao vanished."
"What a fine way to say it: death and annihilation!" True Venerable Changqing's expression remained unchanged: "That's how we present it to the outside world, but now that you are about to attain the Dao of True Monarch, it's time for you to know some of the sect's secrets."
"True Lord Xuanji possessed a profound foundation in Dao, and his talent and fortune surpassed even mine. Yet, I successfully attained the Dao of True Venerable, while he failed. Do you know why?"
"This disciple does not know." Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.
"It's not due to insufficient cultivation, nor is it a tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage; it's a man-made disaster!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that he was also a creator of the Primordial Golden Core.
"Master, what do you mean?"
"That's right, this matter is related to the Ancient Demonic Sect." True Venerable Changqing nodded slightly, his expression calm.
Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, his mind focused and his spirit shone brightly, suppressing his emotions.
Seeing the change in his disciple's expression, True Venerable Changqing nodded inwardly.
If a cultivator lacks the right mindset, even the highest talent will be wasted.
At the same time, upon hearing of the existence of the Ancient Demonic Sect, Chen Beiwu had a sudden inspiration and quickly informed his master about the sect leader's request to borrow the treasure.
If he wasn't mistaken, the reason the sect leader suddenly borrowed the treasure wasn't just to make up for the half-percent probability, but also possibly to prevent the Ancient Demonic Sect from targeting him.
"You're only half right." Changqing Zhenzun shook his head: "No matter how rampant the Ancient Demonic Sect is, it's impossible for them to attack you within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect."
He then changed the subject: "However, the higher-ups of the Ancient Demonic Sect possess an unpredictable and evil secret technique called the Sacrifice to the Gods Tribulation. This technique can increase a cultivator's power during tribulations several times over, but it comes at a price."
Chen Beiwu's heart tightened.
He was absolutely confident that he could see through the Nascent Soul's inner demon tribulation.
However, if the power of the inner demon tribulation increases several times, his original estimate of 95% certainty will probably plummet to 60%.
"Master, when True Monarch Xuanji perished, did the sect not react at all?" Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered as he probed.
"How is that possible?" Changqing Zhenzun glanced at Chen Beiwu: "The sect's existence was furious and personally took action to deduce the secrets of heaven, find the lair of the Ancient Demon Sect, refine three stars, and kill three Nascent Soul True Venerables and dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, almost causing the Ancient Demon Sect to perish. As a result, as many as ten second-generation members of the Immortal Alliance were affected by this incident."
"But so what? True Monarch Xuanji has already perished, and killing more Ancient Demon Cult members will be of no use."
"I have a question: why would the Ancient Demonic Sect attack True Monarch Xuanji for no apparent reason?" Chen Beiwu pressed.
"True Lord Xuanji has a fiery temper and is very sharp. He cannot tolerate any nonsense and looks down on spoiled second-generation immortals who rely on their fathers' protection to cultivate immortality. Back then, he offended at least fifty, if not a hundred, second-generation immortals of the Immortal Alliance. Many of them had connections with the Ancient Demonic Sect."
Changqing Zhenzun shook his head: "But in the end, it all comes down to the word 'interests.' Xuanji Zhenjun's existence is blocking the way for some people."
"What road?"
Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, keenly realizing the key reason why Xiao Yu was targeting him.
"Naturally, it is the path of refining emptiness."
True Venerable Changqing sighed softly: "There are three thousand Great Daos, and it seems that every one of them can lead to the Refinement of Emptiness. But only those who have truly stepped into the Perfection of the Divine Transformation stage understand that although there seem to be countless paths ahead, in reality, only a few Great Daos can be chosen and refined to suit oneself."
"The Xuanji True Monarch forged the Primordial Golden Core and formed the Primordial Nascent Soul. If he succeeds in attaining the Dao and becoming a True Venerable, he will be the most promising True Venerable of that generation to reach the Void Refinement stage."
The more Chen Beiwu listened, the more he felt something was amiss.
Has the infighting among the high-ranking members of the Immortal Alliance reached this level?
Even a promising True Monarch could be plotted against and killed. So, all his previous achievements—opening a hall to impart teachings, forming the Primordial Golden Core, comprehending the Heavenly Mandate, and gaining the potential to reach the Void Refinement stage—were just traps that led him into a pit.
No, if that's true, then he's also Master's rival? Why would Master accept him as a disciple then?
Moreover, in Chen Beiwu's eyes, Xiao Yu was not only far from proving the Dao and refining the Void, but even proving the Dao and becoming a True Venerable was a stretch, so there was no reason to regard him as a formidable opponent.
"You're overthinking it. The Immortal Alliance isn't that dark, and no one on Tianyuan Star would dare to lay a hand on you."
True Venerable Changqing pointedly remarked to Chen Beiwu, "However, the interests of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and the overall interests of the Immortal Alliance are not entirely equivalent."
Although the Immortal Alliance order has always existed, in the eyes of most cultivators, personal interests > family interests > sect interests > Immortal Alliance interests.
If his disciple fails to see even this point, to understand that the Xuanji incident was an accident orchestrated by various forces for their own benefit, and to realize that his true reliance is on the sect, he will likely find it difficult to attain the True Venerable Dao in the future.
Upon thinking of this, True Venerable Changqing lost interest in talking, and with a flick of his sleeve, a beam of spiritual light landed in front of Chen Beiwu.
As the light dissipated, a talisman that was neither paper nor silk came into Chen Beiwu's view, emanating a serene Daoist charm that calmed his mind and dispelled illusions.
"This talisman is a guardian talisman drawn by your master. It can be activated automatically the moment your spiritual platform is lost and your mind is in a state of despair, illuminating your inner demons and giving you a glimmer of hope."
"But talismans are ultimately just external objects. Whether you can truly overcome the tribulations of inner demons still depends on your Dao heart."
"
"I hope you won't need it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Evergreen True Venerable slowly dissipated.
Clearly, the figure conversing with Chen Beiwu was merely an avatar of the True Venerable Dongming Changqing, not the true Venerable himself.
"Disciple thanks Master for bestowing the talisman!"
Chen Beiwu caught the talisman, bowed respectfully, and left Qingming Cave.
Thinking about it now is pointless!
Regardless of whether he broadcasts live or not, he must prove himself as a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Immortal Alliance.
At that time, Xiao Yu, who has connections with the Ancient Demonic Sect, will definitely be able to sense the fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but whether he will secretly try to kill is hard to predict.
However, judging from the treasures bestowed by the sect leader and master, the sect and master are ultimately on his side!
So what Chen Beiwu needs to do next is very simple.
He will become a True Lord of the Dao, and then go to the Life and Death Arena to kill Xiao Yu.
