Chapter 430 Major Changes in the Rules
Chen Beiwu focused his mind and observed the chaotic world within.
Three auspicious red dragons stood with their heads held high, their energy interacting, merging, and fusing into one.
In an instant, the purple light shone brightly, its value beyond compare!
A purple aura, neither cloud nor rosy cloud, indescribable in words, slowly entered Chen Beiwu's mind.
"Auspicious purple clouds are rising from the east; the prospect of achieving divine transformation is within reach!"
Sensing the auspicious signs contained within the purple aura, Chen Beiwu was overjoyed.
He used the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique to summon the auspicious red dragon as a miraculous encounter, which allowed him to have a smooth journey and eventually attain the Nascent Soul True Lord status.
By the same token, even if the purple aura has a poor effect, triggering it through supernatural means is still a fortuitous encounter. It can at least help him make rapid progress on the path of True Lord cultivation, without having to endure the hardship of seeking truth and position like other Nascent Soul True Lords.
But the next second, Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and he began to consider the enlightenment of the Fate-Controlling Embryo Divine Power.
Without a doubt, the transformative power of the Divine Mandate of Fate far surpasses the transformative power of the Primordial Golden Elixir.
However, the probability of him transforming the golden egg into a fifth-order creation beast by relying on a wisp of purple energy is still extremely low.
But what if?
What if the transformative effect of the Fate-Controlling Embryo Divine Power exceeds his expectations, and he might be able to transform the golden egg into a fifth-tier elemental beast?
Upon realizing this, Chen Beiwu quickly suppressed his thoughts, opened his eyes, and looked calmly at the proud and powerful figures around him who were filled with longing and surprise.
Once the title was established, all spirits paid homage.
Although this rare event is eye-catching, it is not an isolated case in the records of the Immortal Alliance.
With precedents to follow, Chen Beiwu ascended the Dharma seat with great composure and continued the final step of the Nascent Soul Ceremony—expounding the Great Dao and benefiting all living beings.
"When cultivators discuss the path to the Nascent Soul stage, they often speak of 'condensing the Yang Spirit and shattering the elixir to form the Nascent Soul,' which is common knowledge."
Chen Beiwu began to explain the Great Dao of Nascent Soul: "However, for me, the gestation of the Nascent Soul is not merely the transformation of the Golden Core, but rather..."
Below the platform, all was silent.
Many of the immortal sect's prodigies listened intently, regarding Chen Beiwu's teachings as golden rules, completely absorbed in the lecture.
Only the five chief disciples of the Great Grotto Heaven exchanged glances and shook their heads, all knowing that Chen Beiwu had a hidden trick up his sleeve.
"Brother Zhu, would you be interested in going up and testing the strength of this generation's Chief of the Jade Purity Sect?"
Che Zhengyuan slightly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Chunyang Cave.
"There's no need. He's just a newly promoted True Lord anyway. Even if he wins, it would be an unfair victory," Zhu Wu said confidently.
"Indeed, if they cannot bear the Dao Fruit, no matter how strong the talents of the geniuses of the Three Immortal Sects are, they are no match for us."
Che Zhengyuan smiled and agreed with Zhu Wu's idea.
Times have changed; this is no longer ancient times.
The reason why the Five Great Grotto-Heavens were able to stand high above and rule the Immortal Alliance was because of their absolute strength.
Despite knowing this, Che Zhengyuan's gaze towards Chen Beiwu still carried a hint of solemnity.
The reason is simple: he was practicing the "Great Shattering of the Void and Annihilation of Gods Chapter," one of the ten supreme techniques of the Jade Universe Grotto Heaven.
With the help of this technique, he could vaguely sense Chen Beiwu's compatibility with the Dao of Space, and even the Nine-Colored Deer, a fellow beast, couldn't help but be moved.
This was something that made Che Zhengyuan even more wary than Chen Beiwu's ability to trigger the extraordinary phenomenon of all spirits paying homage.
This means that if Chen Beiwu is willing to switch allegiance in the future and become a disciple of Yuyu Cave Heaven, he may be able to cultivate the "Great Shattering Void Tribulation God Chapter of Chaos Returning to the Ruins" and be listed in the Yuyu Golden Book, competing with him for the resources of the God Transformation Realm.
Fortunately, the current situation is about to become turbulent, and any traitor, no matter where he is, will easily be disliked by the higher-ups of the sect and will not be valued.
Chen Beiwu is a smart man, and it's highly unlikely that he would abandon the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and join the Jade Universe Cave Heaven.
"Alright, we've gathered here today not to discuss the chief of a mere immortal sect, but to discuss the latest intelligence from the Celestial Patrol Department of the Immortal Alliance's Worldly Affairs Hall, and to convey the decrees from above to all the major immortal sects and superior sects."
Gu Yong transmitted his thoughts telepathically, "Does anyone have any information to share? As far as I know, the world discovered by the Sky Patrol Department this time is extraordinary; it is very likely a Great Thousand World!"
"That's right. It's said that the moment the Sky Patrol Department discovered that world, the other side also discovered our world's traces."
"The Sky Patrol Department paid the price of five True Monarchs falling and one Nascent Soul True Venerable being slightly injured in order to barely seal off the Heavenly Abyss Realm and prevent our realm's location from being completely exposed." Xuan Yuan Yu nodded slightly, his expression solemn.
"So, that vast world, like the Immortal Alliance, possesses the ability to conquer the outside world?" Shi Wujian's eyes changed slightly.
The world is full of strong and weak.
Those capable of exploring and conquering the vast world outside are all extremely powerful forces that should not be underestimated, such as the Heavenly Demon Star recorded in the Immortal Alliance's records.
If he remembered correctly, the Immortal Alliance paid an extremely heavy price to conquer the Heavenly Demon Star, and even the Refining Void Dao Venerable perished.
"That's right, so the Immortal Alliance's higher-ups have decided to change the rules, redistribute the Immortal Alliance's resources, prepare for war in full force, and activate the highest level of alert. Our chance to rise to power has arrived!"
At this point, Gu Yong glanced up at Chen Beiwu on the stage, feeling deeply moved.
He did not deny that Chen Beiwu was an extremely rare and exceptional genius, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era.
In preparation for the battle against that mysterious and unpredictable world, the Immortal Alliance now needs not only exceptionally talented geniuses who can inherit the Dao lineage, but also fighting geniuses who are capable, skilled, and courageous in battle.
Starting today, the resource allocation rules of Tianyuan Star will be drastically changed, with battle merits and combat strength taking precedence.
Does the Immortal Alliance's Nascent Soul True Monarch want resources for the God Transformation stage?
Yes, you can exchange it for real merits and achievements made for the Immortal Alliance's "Conquest of Stars"!
Chen Beiwu was extremely unlucky. He had a feud with Xiao Yu of the Tianyuan Xiao family. Once he became a Star Conqueror, he was bound to be targeted by underhanded tactics, or even deliberately framed by other Daoist Immortal Clan members who would smear the Tianyuan Xiao family in order to eliminate their competitors in advance.
Thinking of this, Gu Yong smiled and shook his head slightly.
Why does he think so much?
Let alone Chen Beiwu, he can barely protect himself now. He must become a Star Conqueror, go to the Cangyuan Realm which has not yet been conquered, and make enough contributions to ensure that he can maintain his status and win a chance to prove himself as a Nascent Soul, which is a higher realm.
On the high platform, Chen Beiwu finished his sermon, answered questions for some Yuqing cultivators, and then officially concluded the Nascent Soul Ceremony. He then stepped down from the platform to accompany his parents and friends and tour the Yuqing Immortal Sect.
In front of Ms. Huang Xiaoling, Xu Ziqing and Xu Lingling were both very well-behaved and adorable, calling her "Auntie" at every turn.
The worldly-wise Huang Xiaoling was naturally aware of the two women's thoughts. She glanced at Chen Beiwu with some surprise and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, at least her son still enjoys women and hasn't gone astray.
During his trip, Chen Beiwu's phone suddenly vibrated, and he received a message from his senior brother Jiang Chuan. His expression tightened.
"Mom, I have something I need to take care of."
Before Chen Beiwu could finish speaking, Huang Xiaoling waved her hand impatiently: "Then you go ahead and do your thing. I can have a private chat with Ziqing and Lingling."
Qingming Peak, Yunyan Residence.
Chen Beiwu stepped into the cave and found that his senior brother Yue, who had previously announced that he was in seclusion, was also there.
At this moment, all five members of the Changqing lineage, including Chen Beiwu, were present, with none absent.
"Junior Brother Chen, this is a good opportunity," Yue Chenfeng said. "What are your plans after hearing the news?"
"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, what is your decision?" Chen Beiwu asked tentatively.
"Naturally, it's about conquering the Cangyuan Realm and achieving military merits."
As expected, Chen Beiwu received a unified response from his four senior brothers and sisters.
After the Immortal Alliance rules were changed, the value of battle merits skyrocketed. Even resources for Nascent Soul cultivators could be exchanged for battle merits; otherwise, the eldest disciple wouldn't have been able to break through his cultivation barrier.
"But didn't Senior Sister Su say before that the Cangyuan Realm is extremely dangerous and that we shouldn't get involved in it lightly?" Chen Beiwu asked curiously.
He had not forgotten that his master had once hinted that even if the Cangyuan Realm produced a fifth-order creation-grade medicinal herb like the Other Shore Flower, they should still be extremely cautious.
"Times have changed."
Su Muyu shook her head, her expression calm, and said, "The Immortal Alliance has already made a preliminary investigation into the general situation and the distribution of power in the Cangyuan Realm."
As long as the Nascent Soul True Monarch doesn't enter the Eternal Night Sea to compete for the Other Shore Flower, their safety can still be guaranteed.
"In one month, we will be setting off for the Cangyuan Realm to conquer the Cloud Mist Pool. Junior Brother, would you be willing to come along?"
At this point, all four of them turned their gazes toward Chen Beiwu.
In their view, if their junior brother wanted to become a Star Conqueror and seize the Immortal Alliance's battle merits, teaming up with his fellow disciples was the best and safest option.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he had no intention of becoming a Star Chaser for the time being.
His cultivation level is still rapidly increasing, so there's no need for him to risk going to the Cangyuan Realm to gain merit.
If one is unlucky enough to encounter a Nascent Soul True Venerable in the Cangyuan Realm, even if he has the Ten Directions Gate to teleport, he may not be able to save his life within three breaths. On the contrary, he may expose his fifth-order Yuanlu Escape Talisman, which would be a loss.
Seeing that Chen Beiwu refused, Yue Chenfeng and the other three did not press the matter.
The junior brother is currently in the stage of embryonic breathing meditation, and the difference in strength between them is huge. While it is safe to act in a team with fellow disciples, there is also the risk of difficulty in dividing the benefits and the possibility of being wiped out by a powerful enemy.
Three days later, at Tianyuan City Railway Station.
Watching his parents leave by train, Chen Beiwu looked at Xu Ziqing standing to the side.
Because of the changes to the Immortal Alliance rules and the full preparation for war, even Golden Core cultivators need to participate in the conquest of the Cangyuan Realm. Xu Lingling had already returned to the Tianyan Immortal Sect two days ago.
Xu Ziqing, on the other hand, was able to stay at the Jade Purity Immortal Sect for a few more days because her cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Don't worry, I will definitely succeed in forming my core this time. I won't let your efforts go to waste!"
Xu Ziqing stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Chen Beiwu on the lips before turning around and boarding the train to the Nine Refinements Sect.
-
Watching Xu Ziqing's figure disappear, Chen Beiwu activated his escape light and returned to Shuiyan Residence on Qingming Peak.
Inside the alchemy room, Tie Dan and Xue Le, the two little guys, were refining fourth-order poison stones.
These poisonous pebbles are incredibly powerful; even Chen Beiwu wouldn't dare touch them carelessly if there were enough of them.
Therefore, Schiller specially named the poisonous gravel "Samadhi Poison Sand".
Jin Dan and Zhi Ling were lying on the jade table, constantly counting the congratulatory gifts received for this Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Beiwu's mind slowly sank into the chaotic world.
After several days of contemplation, he decided to use the accumulated purple energy to trigger a serendipitous encounter.
The reason is simple: the word "serendipity" encompasses everything, while enlightenment through supernatural powers is a transformation of the very essence of a specific concept.
If Chen Beiwu doesn't intend to initiate a life-or-death arena battle, this purple aura might be used to enlighten the golden egg and enhance his own aptitude and potential.
But Chen Beiwu understood that his greatest advantage was not his talent or aptitude, but the immense fortune that brought him together with heaven and earth.
The Xiao family of Tianyuan has a profound foundation and many powerful figures. If he does not want to suffer a huge backlash after killing Xiao Yu, using his supernatural powers to turn the purple energy into a fortuitous encounter is the choice that maximizes his benefits.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu activated his divine power to resonate with the Nine Breaths Chaos.
"Buzz!"
The next instant, a miniature golden bell of fortune quietly appeared.
Within the Golden Bell of Fortune, an incomparably precious purple aura seemed to be alive, sometimes stretching out like rosy clouds, sometimes condensing like jade.
I hope you won't let me down!
Chen Beiwu formed a hand seal, activated his supernatural powers, and pointed a finger at the Qi Luck Golden Bell.
In an instant, the golden bell shone brightly.
A strange bell rang out, and Chen Beiwu's expression changed slightly. He felt the immense power of the Primordial True Essence within his body pouring out like a waterfall.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"
Sensing something was wrong, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling immediately put down what they were doing and used the connection of the Shared Journey Contract to circulate their magic power to replenish the real deficiency in Chen Beiwu's body.
Breathe!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
When the purple energy within the Golden Bell of Fortune dissipated completely, transforming into an unknown adventure, Chen Beiwu's nascent soul trembled slightly, and his mind abruptly withdrew from the chaotic world.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Opening his eyes, Chen Beiwu saw the four little ones' concerned gazes and smiled happily.
He had not exhausted his magical power by activating his supernatural abilities for a long time.
Therefore, it is clear that the adventure triggered by this purple luck must be quite powerful!
Seven days later.
Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Tower of Life and Death.
The Zhige Department.
Chen Beiwu walked in and found the department unusually deserted, with no one in sight, not even a female cultivator in charge of reception.
Indeed, within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, the Life and Death Arena is by no means the first choice for resolving grudges.
Second-generation sect leaders and powerful True Lords have many ways to quietly resolve conflicts using the rules, rather than being bound by them.
Even the sect's higher-ups were happy to see the life-and-death arena competition marginalized.
The reason is simple: once the Life and Death Arena is activated, some prodigies will inevitably perish, which is not a good thing for some sect leaders.
However, the life-and-death arena competition is a system established since the founding of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
Unless a being like the Refining Void Dao Venerable speaks out, no one dares to propose abolishing this rule.
Therefore, the Zhige Division of the Yuqing Immortal Sect has always existed, but it has remained unknown and inconspicuous within the sect.
If Chen Beiwu hadn't been well-versed in the sect's classic texts, he probably wouldn't have known about the rule of the Life-and-Death Arena within the sect.
Finding no one on the first floor, Chen Beiwu used his divine sense to go up to the fifth floor.
There stood an elderly man with white hair and beard, holding a vibrant green fishing rod.
There was neither fishing line nor hook at the tip of the rod; it was simply raised casually, with the tip of the rod still two feet away from the surface of the water in the ceramic basin.
"Are they fishing?"
Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, but did not immediately step forward to disturb him.
He could vaguely see an incomparably noble purple aura on the old man, who was very likely a Nascent Soul True Venerable.
"What is it?"
Fifteen minutes later, the old man exhaled a breath of stale air and put down the bamboo pole.
The Zhige Department is considered the least lucrative and least sought-after department within the Yuqing Immortal Sect, with very few Yuqing cultivators visiting it.
"This junior wishes to initiate a life-or-death duel on the arena," Chen Beiwu said succinctly.
"Interesting. You are Chen Beiwu, the current chief of Yuqing?" The old man raised an eyebrow, showing interest.
"That's right, senior. Does that mean Chief Yuqing can't initiate a life-or-death arena battle?" Chen Beiwu probed.
"Of course not." The old man shook his head. "I'm just curious which foolish brat provoked you."
"Xiao Yu, the True Lord Who Breaks the Law".
As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, the old man raised his eyes, his expression somewhat serious.
Are you sure?
