Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 489 Looking Up to 1

"Jingyue Daozi, Zhenwu Zhenjun Chen Zi'ang?"

As Chen Beiwu and Ji Yue appeared, the True Monarchs present blinked, revealing curious glances, especially the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the five major sects of the Earthly Realm. They had long heard of the renowned Nascent Soul talent of the Mirror Moon Sect, but had never seen him before.

Now that they could sense the aura emanating from Chen Ziang up close, even the peak Nascent Soul True Monarchs present were able to remain calm and confident, while some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had slightly lowered their eyes and were surprised.

The reason is simple: they, as late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, felt a threat that was hard to ignore emanating from Chen Zi'ang, a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch. This meant that Chen Zi'ang's combat power was formidable, surpassing that of True Monarchs of the same realm, and was something that late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs could not afford to ignore.

"The young people these days are really something!"

Upon seeing this scene, Gu Jianfeng sighed inwardly.

He is already old. If he cannot make further progress in the future, break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and become a True Venerable, his remaining lifespan will be only four or five hundred years, making it difficult for him to continue to shoulder the sect's lineage.

Ultimately, the future of Xuanjian Pavilion will depend on the next generation of geniuses.

However, compared to Chen Zi'ang of the Mirror Moon Sect, his junior disciple, Gu Wuji, one of the candidates for the position of Xuanjian Pavilion Master, paled in comparison and could not be called a peerless genius.

No wonder the sect leader, who always devoted himself to the way of the sword, felt a hint of killing intent towards Chen Zi'ang, a junior!

Thinking of this, Gu Jianfeng withdrew his gaze and did not intend to obey the sect leader's decree.

What he despised most in his life were cultivators who bullied the weak and oppressed others with their cultivation level. How could he possibly disregard his reputation and kill a junior, thus severing the sword he had always cultivated in his heart!

"This kid is Chen Zi'ang. No wonder Zhao Qianxun suffered a setback at his hands." Ji Yinzi's eyes changed slightly as he looked at Chen Zi'ang with great interest.

Both being Nascent Soul Peak True Monarchs, he had fought countless times with his junior brother Zhao Qianxun, and his strength was subtly a notch above Zhao's.

Even Zhao Qianxun couldn't do anything to Chen Ziang and chose to compromise, so naturally he wouldn't rely on his seniority at this moment to forcefully suppress Jingyue Daozi, even though there were many grudges between the Lianhun Sect and the Jingyue Sect.

"This is the vessel prepared by the True Lord!"

The Blood Puppet Master's mind raced. He took two steps back, protecting Ning Liangyu in front of him.

Yun Kui knew very well who the true master of the Lieyang Ruins was.

To put it bluntly, if it really came down to a fight, none of the True Lords present could defy the will of True Venerable Blazing Sun!

That is why, no matter what, Yun Kui did not want to have anything to do with Chen Zi'ang.

"very good!"

Seeing that all the cultivators' eyes were focused on Chen Zi'ang, Ji Yue smiled inwardly.

With the renowned Chen Zi'ang blocking the way, no one paid any attention to him, a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Just then, Ning Liangyu, the Desolate True Lord, activated his true power, and his voice resounded throughout the entire hall.

"Chen Zi'ang!"

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he met Ning Liangyu's gaze.

"Did you steal the Golden Lotus of Salvation?"

Ning Liangyu suddenly spoke up and questioned him.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall changed drastically, and all the True Lords focused their gazes on Chen Beiwu, their eyes burning with fervor.

The Golden Lotus of Salvation is a treasure left behind by the Taixu Array Sect, and it is an unparalleled elixir that can help a Nascent Soul True Monarch transform into a Divine Being!

Such treasures belong to the virtuous; how could Chen Zi'ang, a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, be qualified to take them?

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu looked astonished.

"Ridiculous! When someone is determined to find fault, they'll always find a pretext!"

Facing the intense gazes of the assembled cultivators, Chen Beiwu frowned and retorted:

"True Lord Ning is truly formidable. How could a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator steal the Golden Lotus of Tribulation right under the noses of the True Lords of the Eight Desolations Sect and the Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect?" "If you can escape from my grasp, what's so surprising about taking the Golden Lotus of Tribulation?" Ning Liangyu insisted.

Chen Beiwu laughed: "True Lord Ning, do you mean that I stole the Golden Lotus of Salvation, and instead of leaving the Blazing Sun Ruins, I risked entering the Heavenly Treasure Hall to continue searching for rare and precious materials?"

Upon hearing this, the True Lords present nodded slightly, all agreeing that Chen Zi'ang's words made sense, and that True Lord Huangwu was likely deliberately misleading them. If they had obtained the Golden Lotus of Salvation, they would have left the Blazing Sun Ruins immediately; why would they continue to take risks?

To put it bluntly, no matter how precious the rare and precious materials in the Heavenly Treasures Hall are, they cannot compare to the Golden Lotus of Salvation. Only the Longevity Wood, the Infant Transformation Stone, and the Earth Mother Pill can barely be compared, but their value is still vastly different.

As for whether Chen Ziang was lying, the True Lords present could basically tell.

"Not Chen Zi'ang?"

Ning Liangyu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.

After the Golden Lotus of Salvation suddenly disappeared without a trace, she suspected many Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

After eliminating them one by one, she found Chen Ziang to be quite mysterious and a strong suspect.

So she deliberately confronted Chen Ziang in public, hoping to glean something from him.

To Ning Liangyu's disappointment, her cultivation technique was unique, capable of both destroying all things and reflecting countless phenomena, allowing her to discern the truth or falsehood of others' words. Chen Zi'ang's words were indeed true, not a lie. Then who was hiding in the shadows, stealing the Golden Lotus of Salvation?

Thinking of this, Ning Liangyu's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Su Lanyue not far away.

The Nascent Soul True Lord of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect is most skilled in formations, so he is also a prime suspect.

"It's not true after all."

At the same time, Su Lanyue frowned slightly, her eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

When the Golden Lotus of Crossing Calamity disappeared without a trace, her first suspect was the Eight Desolations Sect, whom she believed was crying wolf.

After some testing and verification, Su Lanyue had to admit that the possibility of the Eight Desolate Sect True Monarch taking action was extremely low.

In addition, having witnessed Chen Zi'ang's unpredictable teleportation and escape techniques, Su Lanyue naturally considered him one of the suspects.

But now that I think about it carefully, if the cultivator who made the move that day was Chen Zi'ang, it would have been impossible for him to have left no trace at all. Even if the two sects joined forces, they would not have been able to deduce the secrets of heaven and pinpoint the person who stole the Golden Lotus.

The next second, Su Lanyue noticed Ning Zhenjun's suspicious gaze, and her mood became even more unpleasant.

Damn thief, try and don't let her catch you.

Otherwise, she would definitely give her a good dressing down!

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators, Chen Beiwu calmly walked to the area of ​​the five major sects of the Earthly Realm.

Because of Senior Brother Zheng's death and Senior Sister Xin's teleportation away from the ruins, there were only two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the five major sects who belonged to the Mirror Moon Sect. Both of them were mid-Nascent Soul True Monarchs and did not have much say in the Heavenly Treasure Hall.

Upon seeing this, Gu Jianfeng's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not refuse Chen Ziang's participation.

Now that all four forces have gathered, whoever is the strongest will be able to secure more resources from the Heavenly Treasure Palace.

"These cultivators are really cautious, all staying behind Nascent Soul Peak True Monarchs, not wanting to take any risks at all."

Chen Beiwu glanced around and noticed that the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the five major sects in the Earthly Realm were all gathered together, observing the situation without taking the initiative. "This stalemate isn't going to work. How about we divide up the areas and each break the restrictions to take the rare treasures from the hall?" Su Lanyue suggested. "Hmph, the treasures in the Heavenly Treasure Hall aren't going to run away. We can wait for ten or fifteen days. The most important thing now is the whereabouts of the Golden Lotus of Crossing Calamity." Ning Liangyu waved his sleeve, his tone firm: "It's not too late to open the restrictions of the Heavenly Treasure Hall after our sect's True Monarch finds the thief who stole the Golden Lotus of Crossing Calamity." "Fellow Daoist Ning, delay may lead to complications. If we can't find the Golden Lotus of Crossing Calamity, aren't we just wasting our time?" Ji Yinzi frowned, quite dissatisfied.

He doesn't have much time left to live, so he's waiting for the Longevity Tree to extend his life.

Anyone who dares to stop him from extending his lifespan is his mortal enemy!

"That's right, this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later, and cannot be delayed." Gu Jianfeng also expressed his attitude.

Once news of the Longevity Wood, the Infant Transformation Stone, the Earth Mother Pill, and the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Lotus spreads, the Nascent Soul True Venerables of the Eight Desolations Sect and the Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect will certainly not sit idly by. Even if the Blazing Sun Ruins have rules that restrict Nascent Soul True Venerables from forcibly entering the ruins, such beings still have plenty of ways to scheme. "The area with the Longevity Wood, my Heavenly Craft Talisman Sect wants it!" Su Lanyue said calmly, making the final decision.

While pills like the Infant Transformation Stone and the Earth Mother Pill, which can help cultivators reach the Divine Transformation stage, are certainly precious, the most important thing for the Heavenly Craftsmanship Talisman Sect is the Longevity Wood, which can prolong life.

The reason is simple: the patriarch of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect is nearing the end of his lifespan and needs many longevity-prolonging medicines that he has never taken before.

The Longevity Wood is one of the most precious longevity treasures that the Heavenly Merchants Association has been searching for with great effort, and it cannot afford to make the slightest mistake!

"this……"

Ji Yinzi frowned slightly, wanting to compete, but was stopped by the divine sense of his fellow True Monarch behind him.

The Heavenly Crafting Talisman Sect is powerful; even if they gather the True Monarchs of the three major demonic sects in the Western Evolution Realm, they will find it difficult to contend with them. It would be better to wait for the right opportunity and be prepared to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. "The area around the Infant Transformation Stone, my Eight Desolate Sect wants it," Ning Liangyu said defiantly.

Gu Jianfeng and Ji Yinzi exchanged a glance and did not refuse.

Such verbal agreements can be broken at any time, and whoever gets the treasure will depend on their strength and luck.

"The area around the Earth Mother Pill belongs to the five major sects of the Earthly Realm," Gu Jianfeng said.

Without speaking, Ji Yinzi activated his escape light and led the three True Monarchs of the Demon Sect to the area of ​​Pure Yang Liquid.

These four treasures correspond to the nine golden orbs of light in the four directions of east, south, west, and north at the core of the galaxy, perfectly dividing the four major cultivation forces present.

"Aji, where is that fifth-tier powerful artifact you mentioned?"

Chen Beiwu scanned the area with his divine sense, but found no fifth-order Yuan artifacts in the depths of the starry river; all he saw were rare and precious natural treasures.

"That fifth-tier heavy weapon is right in front of you." The young beast's voice slowly echoed in Chen Beiwu's mind.

¥? ? ?

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, then a flash of inspiration struck him. He looked at the starry sky, but could not make out its true form.

"That's right, this is the fifth-tier heavy weapon I asked you to help me retrieve, named [Void Star Reversal Shuttle]."

"This treasure is extraordinary. It can store the treasures of the Heavenly Treasures Hall and can also be connected to the Pure Yang Array Pillar to become the core of the Fulong Hall's array and control the Taixu Restriction."

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu felt both happy and worried.

If he were to take the Void Star Reversal Shuttle, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking away the Immortal Wood, the Infant Transformation Stone, and other supreme treasures? The price, however, would be that he would become the target of everyone's ire!

At that time, not only the Eight Desolate Sect and the Heavenly Crafting Talisman Sect, but even the True Monarchs of the five major sects of the Earth Evolution Realm (excluding the Mirror Moon Sect) would make a move against him for the treasure. "Is there any way to take this treasure away quietly?" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

"What are you thinking? If I could do it myself, I wouldn't need your help," Aji said bluntly.

"I know this is unrealistic."

Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged: "But you also know that I said I would do my best to help you, but I didn't say I would risk my life to help you."

"If you can't come up with a good idea, we can only wait for the True Lords present to take the treasures before we can take the Void Star Reversal Shuttle."

At that point, it will be you who breached the contract first, not the other way around.

As Chen Beiwu expected, the voice in his mind fell silent instantly.

"Don't worry, as I said before, I will help you take all the treasures that can be taken from the Heavenly Treasure Hall. Now, choose three treasures, and I will teach you how to safely take the Void Star Reversal Shuttle and those three treasures."

After a long while, Aji's voice slowly rang out.

"Can't we choose all of them?" Chen Beiwu suggested.

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee you'll leave Tianzhen Palace alive."

After a moment's thought, Chen Beiwu did not succumb to greed and chose the three treasures: the Infant Transformation Stone, the Pure Yang Liquid, and the Earth Mother Pill.

The value of the Longevity Wood far surpasses that of the Pure Yang Liquid, but he is young and has a long lifespan, so there is no need to worry about the upper limit of his lifespan. It would be better to choose the Pure Yang Liquid, set up an array in the Southern Wilderness to absorb the essence of the pure Yang sun, and prepare for his future attainment of the Dao and becoming a True Venerable.

If he can break through the Nascent Soul stage and attain True Venerable status, his lifespan will far exceed the effects of the Longevity Wood, reaching tens of thousands of years. "Are you sure about these three items?"

Sure."

"Very good. The Void Star Reversal Shuttle is connected to the Pure Yang Array Pillar. Even if all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the hall exhaust their true power, they will not be able to forcibly break the Void Star Reversal Shuttle's restriction."

At this point, Aji paused slightly: "But you are different. A prodigy who possesses the Dao Child Token of the Taixu Array Sect can use the 'Secret Seal of the Thirty-Six Caves of Taixu Heavenly Dao Array' to trigger the Dao Child's decree and briefly drive the Void Star Reversal Shuttle for a breath."

"A breath isn't a long time, but it's not short either. It's enough for you to activate the Void Star Reversal Shuttle and teleport to the Hidden Dragon Palace." "Wait a minute," Chen Beiwu deliberately probed, "In that case, wouldn't I be able to teleport all nine rare treasures inside the Void Star Reversal Shuttle? Why choose only three?"

"You think activating the Void Star Reversal Shuttle doesn't require true mastery of magical power? Without using the other six treasures, with your mid-Nascent Soul True Monarch cultivation, let alone a single breath, even just activating the Reversal Shuttle for a moment would drain all your true mastery of magical power, shatter your Golden Core, disintegrate your Nascent Soul, and lead to your death." "Of course, if you feel you can take some risks, you can choose any of the four treasures within the shuttle, but I can't guarantee whether your magical power will be completely drained or whether your cultivation level will be affected."

Ignoring the cub's teasing warnings, Chen Beiwu felt relieved.

Even the finest treasures are only enjoyable if you're alive.

Judging from Aji's reaction, the other party was indeed sincere in cooperating and did not deliberately conceal key information to trick him.

Of course, it's also possible that he still has some value to be used for the time being, and it's not time to discard him yet.

"Woof!" (No!)

Tie Dan contacted Chen Beiwu through a shared agreement to avoid being spied on by others.

Its intuition told it that although the cub kept complaining about its master's greed, it didn't actually dislike its master; in fact, it even felt a slight fondness for him.

Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

If it weren't for Tie Dan's ability to hear things that ordinary cultivators couldn't perceive, he really wouldn't think that Aji had a good impression of him.

"Huh?" (So, could we look for an opportunity to form a co-existence contract with it?)

Schiller's eyes lit up slightly, preparing to switch to a big boss for farming and sheep farming.

"Not good!" The golden-egg dragon's eyes narrowed, and it felt a great sense of danger.

If that mysterious demon lord joins the fellow practitioners, wouldn't its status in the master's heart plummet?

"You all overestimate me!"

Chen Beiwu glanced at Jin Dan and Xue Le, but remained unmoved.

Having feelings for someone and being willing to form a contract are two different things, especially for a Fifth Realm Demon Lord who has been bound to the Blazing Sun Ruins for many years.

If he dares to contact him with the intention of forming a contract, he will surely be seen through and may even offend the other party.

Furthermore, given that he possesses extraordinary luck and hidden treasures, yet his strength is inferior to that of beasts, even if he were to form a contract with a fifth-realm demon lord and participate in the contract, he would become a vassal of the demon lord, or even suffer a backlash, resulting in nothing but harm.
