Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 482 Rare Treasures

"Woof."

Seeing the greedy look on Sherer's face, Tie Dan growled, suggesting that maybe they should just forget about it.

It didn't care about any fifth-tier Yuan medicine; it only cared about Chen Beiwu's safety.

Although the Golden Lotus of Salvation is extremely rare, given the master's status in the Immortal Alliance, it's not impossible to obtain a fifth-tier Yuan Medicine of the same level in the future, so there's no need to take too much risk.

To put it bluntly, cultivators who strive for immortality are defying the heavens, but they must also know when to stop.

If it's just facing one or two Nascent Soul Peak True Monarchs, the risk is manageable, and Tie Dan thinks it's worth a shot at the Golden Lotus of Salvation.

However, the Eight Desolate Sect and the Heavenly Crafting Talisman Sect have many powerful figures. Even without mentioning other cultivators, there are as many as six Nascent Soul Peak True Monarchs.

Faced with such a lineup, even a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch would have to temporarily avoid the limelight and carefully plan ahead.

Upon hearing this, Xue Le pouted, understanding that Tie Dan's words made sense, but she was still somewhat unwilling.

Sensing Schiller's emotions, Tie Dan shook his head and quietly looked at Chen Beiwu.

It will obey whatever decision its owner makes.

Jin Dan and Zhi Ling both looked at Chen Beiwu.

"Don't worry, the fifth-order Yuan Array restriction of the Taixu Array Sect is not so easy to break." Chen Beiwu smiled, looking relaxed.

"Eek?" (So what do we do next?)

Zhiling raised her head.

"No rush, let's wait for the right opportunity. We can't shake the alliance between the Eight Desolations Sect and the Heavenly Craftsmanship Talisman Sect on our own."

With his thoughts settled, Chen Beiwu slightly closed his eyes, questioned the Nine Breaths Chaos, and used the Supreme Spiritual Treasure Karma and Cause Scripture to perform divination.

"I never expected that!"

After a long while, Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

Although he could not be called a peerless genius in divination, he was not so bad as to be unable to deduce even a single piece of information.

Fortunately, he was prepared and had Tie Dan use the Karmic Fire Listening to the Mysterious Path to anchor his position.

"Can we find her location now?" Chen Beiwu asked Tie Dan.

"Woof."

Tie Dan nodded, indicating that it had not only tracked Zhao Caixuan, but also Ji Yue's whereabouts.

However, one thing is rather suspicious: even with the Eight Desolate Sect and the Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect clearing the area together, Ji Yue's location was still wandering around the terraced fields of the Mountain and River Palace, and he had not completely escaped.

"That's normal. People die for money, and birds die for food." Chen Beiwu didn't take it seriously.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch is human, perhaps even more so!

Faced with the temptation of the Nascent Soul Elixir, few Nascent Soul True Monarchs could suppress their greed, a scene Chen Beiwu was happy to see. If the True Monarchs of his sect were to fear the power of the Eight Desolate Sect and the Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect and choose to give up the competition, then Chen Beiwu's chances of taking advantage of the chaos and seizing the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Lotus would become extremely slim.

Soon, a day and a night had passed.

Sister Xin, who had been sitting cross-legged and adjusting her breathing, finally made a move.

She opened her beautiful eyes, her face slightly pale, but her vital energy had already recovered by half.

"Thank you for protecting me, Zi'ang." Xin Yu's cheeks flushed slightly as she gave a graceful bow, exuding a charming air.

"Senior Sister, you flatter me. The Blazing Sun Ruins are fraught with danger. As fellow disciples, we should look after each other," Chen Beiwu waved his hand. Even now, he still remembered the friendship between Senior Sister Xin and Senior Brother Zhu back then.

Even though Chen Beiwu was capable of dealing with Blood Corpse True Monarch at the time, without needing his senior brothers and sisters to intervene.

"Zi'ang is right, Senior Sister is being too polite," Xin Yu said with a gentle smile.

She knew in her heart that mystical arts were a secret of cultivators, so she did not rashly ask Zi Ang what kind of mystical arts he used to help her escape.

"Buzz!"

Xin Yu's storage ring flashed with a faint light, and he took out a jade slip.

"Senior sister, what's this?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.

"This is Senior Brother Zheng's jade slip." Xin Yu twirled her hair. "The situation at the Blazing Sun Ruins has changed drastically. For our safety, we should reunite with Senior Brother Zheng first."

After speaking, Xin Yu activated his magic power, drawing out the spiritual light of the jade slip and pointing it towards the northwest.

That location was consistent with the direction of the sinful karma that Tie Dan had locked onto, so it was clear that Zhao Caixuan's teleportation point was not far from Senior Brother Zheng's.

Chen Beiwu did not refuse.

The five major sects of the Earthly Realm, the four major sects of the Yellow Realm, and the three major demonic sects of the Western Realm all have Nascent Soul Peak True Monarchs who have entered the Blazing Sun Ruins.

With Senior Brother Zheng leading the way, even if only half of the sect's True Monarchs are willing to unite, they can still contend with the powerhouses of the Eight Desolate Sect and the Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect.

Two days later, at Tianzhen Palace.

The teleportation array lit up, revealing two figures: Chen Beiwu and Xin Yu.

During this time, they avoided the Mountain and River Palace and successfully arrived here through the Upper Treasure Palace teleportation array.

It's unclear whether they were a step too late, or if their sect's True Lord had seized the initiative. The Upper Treasure Hall was completely empty, devoid of any magical treasures or mystical artifacts. As a result, the Golden Egg Dragon's head drooped slightly, looking listless.

Chen Beiwu scanned the area with his divine sense, confirming that no cultivators were hiding nearby, and then turned to look at the main hall not far away.

This hall is thirty-three zhang high, with no windows on any of its four sides, except for a large gate directly facing them.

The palace gate is 33 feet high and 18 feet wide, with four seal characters on each of the left and right sides.

"Naturally precious"

"Waiting for Heaven to Preserve It"

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes and looked at the plaque above the gate, which read "Tianzhen Hall" in seal script.

"Could this hall be the treasure vault where the Taixu Array Sect stores its sect resources?" Xin Yu's eyes brightened slightly.

The Taixu Array Sect is an ancient Daoist sect with a continuous lineage of Nascent Soul cultivators and the presence of the Refining Void Daoist Venerable, making it a powerful force.

Even if such a sect were to perish, any resources it left behind would be enough to cause a Nascent Soul True Monarch's cultivation to skyrocket, and might even lead to the Godhood realm.

"Very likely."

Chen Beiwu looked at Xue Le, but did not take the risk.

Schiller understood, clapped his hands, and a scorpion with the aura of the Golden Core realm quietly appeared and rushed towards the palace gate.

"Crack! Crack!"

As the palace doors were gradually pushed open, the scene inside slowly came into Chen Beiwu's view.

There are no halls or pillars inside the Tianzhen Hall, only a vast expanse of stars.

Outside the starry sky, streaks of light flashed and darted about, each marked with the names of various rare and precious materials. However, the interiors of these materials were empty, either taken away by others or lost to the long passage of time.

Only at the core of the galaxy, nine golden orbs of light floated silently.

Through these clusters of light, Chen Beiwu could vaguely see the treasures floating inside.

It could be a fragment of an inner core, a piece of withered wood, a stubborn rock, a drop of crystalline liquid, or a jade bottle...

Judging from their appearance alone, these treasures were difficult to identify. With a thought, Chen Beiwu immediately manipulated the Five Qi Puppet, causing it to extend its tail hook and pull towards the core of the starry river.

"laugh!"

The Milky Way surged and shone brightly, and the Scorpion Puppet's body instantly collapsed, turning into part of the sky full of light.

"What a strange formation! Zi'ang, are you injured?"

Xin Yu was startled and looked at Chen Beiwu with worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I'm fine."

Chen Beiwu shook his head, a strange look in his eyes.

Although the Five Qi Puppet controlled by Schiller was reduced to ashes under the array restrictions of the Tianzhen Palace, it was not without its gains.

Before the puppet perished, Schiller had already clearly seen the information and uses of the Star River Core Treasure, and was quite shaken.

"Dragon-Melting Pill, Longevity Wood, Infant-Transforming Stone, Pure Yang Liquid, Earth Mother Pill..."

These treasures were things that Chen Beiwu had never heard of or seen before, but fortunately the information left in the depths of the starry river was detailed enough.

Dragon Transformation Pill: A mid-grade fifth-order Yuan Pill refined from the blood of an auspicious dragon. When consumed by a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it allows the body to be tempered with dragon blood, reshaping muscles and bones, and achieving a physical form comparable to that of a Divine Transformation True Venerable.

If a dragon-type demon king consumes it, his cultivation will greatly advance, his bloodline will transform, and he will become a soaring dragon.

Longevity Wood: A fifth-grade superior primordial medicine. When consumed by a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it increases lifespan by six thousand years; when consumed by a Transformation God True Venerable, it extends lifespan by two thousand years.

Infant Transformation Stone: A fifth-grade low-level primordial material. When stored in the spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness, it can nourish the primordial spirit and transform the divine consciousness, making it comparable to a half-step True Venerable, and increasing the probability of breaking through the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage by 10%.

Pure Yang Liquid: A fifth-grade superior elemental material, essential for setting up the Fire Refining Zhou Tian Shao Yang Burning Demon Array and absorbing the essence of pure Yang.

Earth Mother Pill: A fifth-grade low-level Yuan Pill, it is the foundation of virtue and the ability to sustain all things. Those who fail to attain the Dao True Venerable can take it to reverse life and death, preserve their Dharma form, remove hidden injuries, and repair their foundation.

Upon learning all the information about the treasures, even with his ability to maintain a pure and tranquil mind, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Schiller rubbed her little hands together, revealing her eagerness.

Upon seeing this, Xin Yu realized that there was a priceless treasure at the core of the starry river.

Xin Yu wanted to use her divine sense to investigate, but the warning of danger rising in her heart made her dare not take the risk.

"No rush, the restrictions here are far more difficult to deal with than the medicinal field formation of the Mountain and River Palace!"

After reassuring Xue Le with a word, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly. He pretended not to see that the main hall was pitch black on both sides, as if a calamity was about to befall them, and pretended to be deep in thought.

"Zi'ang, I'm not familiar with formations. Can you see what's going on inside?" Xin Yu asked.

"I saw that there are nine rare and precious materials inside the starry river."

At this point, Chen Beiwu paused slightly, revealing a regretful expression: "Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, most of the treasures inside have changed, and their qi and appearance have changed drastically. I don't know if even one-tenth of their medicinal effects can be preserved."

Upon hearing this, Xin Yu's expression changed slightly, but she was not surprised.

This wasn't her first time exploring the ruins of an ancient sect; she knew the power of the passage of time, which could render even a priceless treasure useless. "It's a pity we're not skilled in formations, otherwise we could try to break the restrictions here together."

Xin Yu withdrew her gaze and reminded him, "Senior Brother Zheng is quite accomplished in the art of formations; perhaps he can break the restrictions here."

"Well, we're wasting our time here. Let's go." Chen Beiwu turned around calmly, ready to leave.

The array formations and restrictions here are extremely difficult to deal with. Even though he is a fourth-level Xuan Array Master and possesses a Yuan Script, he is not confident in breaking them.

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Xin Yu's eyes.

"Senior sister, what's wrong?" Chen Beiwu stopped in his tracks and asked in confusion.

"no."

Xin Yu shook her head. She thought she would have to use a lot of persuasion to convince her junior brother to give up the treasures here and go find Senior Brother Zheng.

Now it seems that Zi'ang's ability to cultivate to this level is not only due to his exceptional talent, but also to his remarkably clear mind, which is not easily disturbed by external factors. "Shall we make a move?"

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Ji Yinzi and Li Chuanhai exchanged a glance.

"Forget it, these two don't understand formations, there's no need to use them to break the formation." Ji Yinzi transmitted his thoughts, "It's better to wait and wait for Old Monster Zheng to enter the hall."

On the other side, the Yanxu Hall.

Zheng Zhongyuan concealed himself and followed a beautiful female cultivator from a distance.

To avoid exposing his vital energy, he dared not get too close.

After all, the other party was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xuanpin Sect, whose spiritual sense was exceptionally sharp, even among True Monarchs of the same realm.

Even though Zheng Zhongyuan believed his cultivation was a level higher and he had the strength to suppress Zhao Caixuan, he could only follow her from a distance of a thousand feet.

A quarter of an hour!

Half an hour!

45 minutes!

Zhao Caixuan's escape route became increasingly erratic, eventually stopping at a cluster of buildings buried by sandstorms.

Zheng Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes and saw Zhao Caixuan form a hand seal, causing the sandstorm to part and reveal a spatial passage.

Just then, Zhao Caixuan suddenly turned around and glanced back.

Zheng Zhongyuan felt a tightness in his chest and kept his breath steady.

As expected, Zhao Caixuan did not find his trail and turned to step into the passage.

Zheng Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment, then decided not to risk following them in.

An hour later, Zhao Caixuan appeared quietly and used her escape light to leave.

Zheng Zhongyuan moved to the front of the building complex and formed the same hand seal that Zhao Caixuan had formed earlier, but there was no change whatsoever.

Left with no other option, Zheng Zhongyuan caught up with Zhao Caixuan and asked her the truth.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

Zhao Caixuan frowned slightly, looking at Zheng Zhongyuan blocking her way, and said gently, "So it's the Five Directions True Lord. Fellow Daoist Zheng, why are you stopping me?" "Fellow Daoist Zhao, could you tell me where you just entered?"

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, I don't know what you're talking about?" Zhao Caixuan asked softly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are an elder of my sect, there is no need for you to treat me as an enemy. If you are willing to provide information, I will reward you accordingly based on the value of the information."

"I really don't know what you're talking about?" Zhao Caixuan said sincerely.

"Very well, since Fellow Daoist Zhao is unwilling to cooperate and remains loyal to the Xuanpin Sect, then don't blame me for taking action."

Zheng Zhongyuan formed a hand seal, and four flags and a seal rose behind him, radiating five-colored mysterious light.

The heavy gold banner trembled, the green wood flag fluttered, the mirror moon banner twisted, the burning flame flag roared, and the mysterious sword seal boomed.

These five mysterious treasures came together to form the phantom images of the Five Elders, possessing astonishing power.

"I'm giving you one more chance now, Fellow Daoist Zhao, don't ruin your life," Zheng Zhongyuan said proudly.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng's cultivation is indeed formidable, but I am also a Mirror Moon Sect retainer and a Nascent Soul cultivator. There is no benefit in fighting each other for no reason."

Zhao Caixuan, not to be outdone, retorted seriously, "Why have we come to this?"

"A Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Zheng Zhongyuan sneered and attacked fiercely: "I have merged with the Heavenly Gang of the Zhou Dynasty, formed the Five Directions Golden Core, and nurtured the Heavenly Gang Nascent Soul. My cultivation has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. You, a mere late-stage Nascent Soul junior, dare to call yourself a Nascent Soul Grandmaster in front of me!"

Rumble!

With all five elemental treasures unleashed, Zheng Zhongyuan's power at this moment was almost on par with a Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch, enough to make a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch tremble with fear and flee, not daring to fight him head-on.

Why bother?

Under the suppression of the Five Elements Mystic Treasure, Zhao Caixuan was like a small boat in a storm, about to capsize at any moment.

But there was no fear in her eyes, only a hint of helplessness.

"Wouldn't it be better to be blind? Why force me to beat you to death!"

Zhao Caixuan's figure flickered and shifted, breaking the Xuanbao's restraints, and she appeared silently behind Zheng Zhongyuan.

"Well!"

Zheng Zhongyuan felt a chill run down his spine as a bloody hole suddenly appeared in his chest.

"You, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Before he finished speaking, countless silver needles shot into the sky, completely engulfing Zheng Zhongyuan and the Five Elements Mystic Treasures surrounding him.
