Chapter 491 The Place of Passing Away
"A suitable physical body?"
Chen Beiwu looked at the cub with great interest: "Could it be that you might be the target of the Blazing Sun True Venerable's possession?"
Although he didn't know Aji's specific identity or how high his bloodline rank was, one thing was certain.
This place is called Fulong Palace. Jin Dan felt the purest dragon blood pressure on Aji. The other party was undoubtedly a fifth-order Tenglong species, and might even have some sixth-order true dragon bloodline.
It's not an exaggeration on Chen Beiwu's part; only a dragon of this caliber could possibly prompt the Taixu Dao Sect to make such a grand show of force, sparing no expense in expending numerous resources to specially set up a hall for its suppression.
Honestly, if he were the True Venerable of the Blazing Sun, and needed to possess a physical body to reverse his acquired fate and attain the Divine Transformation realm, he would definitely choose to possess the existence with the strongest talent and the highest potential.
Within the ruins of Lieyang, Aji, who is suspected of possessing the bloodline of a true dragon, is undoubtedly the best choice.
Unless the erosion of time, coupled with the suppression by the Lieyang Ruins and the continuous absorption of dragon blood, caused damage to Aji's essence and a significant drop in potential, Chen Beiwu truly couldn't imagine why the Lieyang True Venerable would abandon Aji and choose to possess him.
Upon hearing this, the young beast fell silent, its eyes shifting between light and shadow.
Chen Beiwu remained silent, quietly observing the cub's reaction.
After a long silence, the young beast raised its head, looked at Chen Beiwu, and said decisively, "Absolutely impossible!"
Its bloodline and constitution are unique; even if the Blazing Sun True Venerable lost his mind and attempted to possess it, he would only meet a gruesome end, with no chance of success. Therefore, even if the Blazing Sun True Venerable were tempted to consider it as a target, he would be warned by his unseen spiritual senses and change his mind. However, it didn't say this aloud, but instead feigned surprise: "Absurd! If the Blazing Sun True Venerable could possess me, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until today?" "Better safe than sorry."
Chen Beiwu smiled and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Before making a move, a Nascent Soul cultivator will deduce the secrets of heaven and plan carefully before acting, eliminating most of the risks. The fact that True Venerable Lieyang has not made a move for tens of thousands of years might be because he is seeking the perfect method of possession."
"alright."
The cub interrupted Chen Beiwu.
Whatever the true intentions of the Blazing Sun True Lord, its primary goal now is to break free from the Dragon Subduing Palace's blockade and regain its freedom.
"The core of the 'Qianyang Kunyin Refining Blood Yanxu Pure Yang Grand Array' exists in the Fulong Hall and the Yanxu Hall, and the two are interdependent."
The young beast extended its front paw, and the Void Star Reversal Shuttle trembled slightly before landing in its paw: "Next, I need you to go to the Void Evolution Palace, destroy its array core, and destroy the main hall."
Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "The Yanxu Hall is the place where the elders of the Taixu Array Sect cultivate. Are you sure I have the strength to destroy the Yanxu Hall?" "To put it another way, even if I could do it according to your plan, True Venerable Lieyang would probably not sit idly by and watch a Nascent Soul True Monarch like me destroy the Taixu Array Sect's inheritance hall."
Hearing this, the young beast said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I have fought with True Venerable Lieyang several times. His current situation is not optimistic, and he will not make a move casually." Before Chen Ziang would go on strike, the young beast slightly flipped its claws, and lotus leaves transformed into streams of light that floated in front of him. At the same time, it explained the key points for destroying the Yanxu Palace.
Chen Beiwu took the lotus leaf, listened with a frown, and then looked up at the cub.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
The young animal looked completely at ease.
"No, I was just curious." Chen Beiwu looked away.
"If you have any doubts, feel free to speak them." The young beast's eyes flickered slightly.
"Does the Taixu Array Sect possess any Nascent Soul Pills?"
As he said this, Chen Beiwu concentrated intently, observing all the cub's reactions.
"The Transformation Pill?"
The young beast laughed, then shook its head: "How could such a treasure possibly exist here?"
Seeing that Chen Zi'ang did not understand, it explained: "The Transformation Pill is also known as the Heaven-Mending Pill. As the name suggests, when a Transformation True Venerable takes this pill, he can transform the real into the illusory, quickly remove Dao injuries, and repair the foundation of the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu immediately understood.
It seems the rumors are unfounded. If the Divine Transformation Pill existed within the ruins, it would have been consumed by True Venerable Lieyang long ago. How could it have remained until now, even Aji, who was bound and imprisoned by the Fulong Palace, could not suppress it?
Meanwhile, inside the Tianzhen Hall.
After a fierce battle, only four Nascent Soul True Monarchs remained standing safely in the hall.
First is Ning Liangyu, second is Su Lanyue, third is Ji Yinzi, and fourth is Gu Jianfeng.
The four people's consciousnesses clashed, and their eyes were solemn.
In order to lure out the hidden powerhouse and prevent the theft of the Golden Lotus of Salvation from happening again, the four of them seemed to be fighting to the death, but in fact they had communicated beforehand and left room for maneuver in every move. Together, they suppressed and killed the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Who will claim the treasure?"
Gu Jianfeng broke the stalemate by speaking.
Although most of the formation sealing the Jade Platform was broken, many restrictions remained.
These restrictions were extremely troublesome. Every time the four of them tried to seize the treasure, they were blocked by the restrictions. It would be better to take the treasure first and then fight for it. "I'll do it."
Su Lanyue took the initiative to speak.
As a fourth-tier top-grade Xuan array master and a Nascent Soul True Monarch standing at the pinnacle of array formation in the Southern Wilderness, it would be most impartial for her to take the treasure.
"No."
Ning Liangyu shook her head, immediately denying it.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared near the Jade Platform.
"How dare you!"
Enraged, the four unleashed their profound powers, joining forces to bombard the figure.
Among them, the sword light is the fastest and most powerful, enough to kill an ordinary Nascent Soul Peak True Monarch.
"The light of a firefly cannot rival the brilliance of the moon."
Ji Yue smiled slightly, and a cyan array plate appeared in his hand beneath his sleeve.
"Buzz!"
As the array plate trembled and emitted light, the sword light that was attacking Ji Yue paused for a moment, and then collapsed on its own.
Not only the sword light, but also the domineering profound powers coming from the other three directions exploded, causing the void to tremble.
"A True Monarch at the Perfect Nascent Soul Stage!!!"
Upon seeing this, Ning Liangyu and the other three frowned, their eyes showing surprise.
With numerous powerful cultivators from major immortal sects monitoring the situation, and even True Venerables using their divine senses to check for any omissions, how did the other party manage to conceal their cultivation and enter the Blazing Sun Ruins?
"Step back. I do not wish to commit further bloodshed."
Ji Yue's sleeves twitched slightly, his tone indifferent, as he extended his right hand toward the jade platform.
Ning Liangyu and the other three exchanged glances, deciding to take advantage of the moment when the person was suffering from the backlash of the restriction and strike together to severely injure him.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Suddenly, two streaks of dark light shot out from Ji Yue's sleeves, shattering the layers of restrictions with lightning speed.
Ji Yue grasped the jade bottle, his figure flashed, and he activated the Instantaneous Teleportation Technique.
"not good!"
Ning Liangyu and the other three's expressions changed drastically. They did not hesitate to use their profound secret techniques, but they still could not stop Ji Yue.
In an instant, the Tianzhen Hall fell silent, leaving only four people with grim expressions.
"This person is definitely not a guest retainer of the Heavenly Saint Sect," Ji Yinzi said with a furrowed brow.
"There are very few True Monarchs in the Southern Wilderness who can reach the Nascent Soul stage, so it's impossible for a mysterious, perfect cultivator to appear out of thin air." Gu Jianfeng looked at Ning Liangyu and Su Lanyue.
"Able to conceal one's aura and deceive even a True Venerable's divine sense, this person is most likely the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Formless True Monarch Tianyuan Seal," Su Lanyue said solemnly. Even among Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their cultivation, there are varying degrees of strength.
Wuxiang Zhenjun Tianyuan Yin is one of the best Nascent Soul cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Region, possessing formidable strength.
It is said that he once defeated Wuyai Zhenjun of the Jingyue Sect by one move, and is suspected to be a being who has taken a half step into the Nascent Soul stage.
Only a powerhouse of this level would have the opportunity to pay a heavy price and use the ancient secret technique Xuan Tong to deceive the divine sense scan of a Nascent Soul True Venerable.
"So what if he possesses the Heavenly Origin Seal? Daring to violate the rules of the sects and conceal his cultivation to infiltrate the Blazing Sun Ruins, he is doomed!" Ning Liangyu said coldly. The great thief who had been hiding in the shadows and stealing the Golden Lotus of Salvation had finally revealed himself!
Next, all she needs to do is find the Heavenly Origin Seal, suppress and kill it, and she can kill two birds with one stone, obtaining the Divine Transformation Pill and the Golden Lotus of Salvation.
"You can't escape!"
Su Lanyue's eyes narrowed, and the treasure in her palm lit up slightly as she pointed it toward the Yanxu Palace.
On the other side, Tianyuan Yin, who had drifted away, was unaware that he had taken the blame for Aji and was now being remembered by the True Lords of the various sects.
"Its color is like chaos, neither blue nor yellow, neither red nor white, and the elixir body faintly displays a five-colored halo."
Tian Yuanyin opened the jade bottle and his face showed undisguised joy.
Just as recorded in ancient books, this pill is the Divine Transformation Pill that countless Nascent Soul True Monarchs have longed for but could not obtain!
"It's a pity that I cannot return to the Heavenly Saint Sect to attain the True Venerable Dao." Tian Yuan Yin's heart tightened slightly as he looked towards the direction of the Yanxu Hall.
There can only be one sun in the sky!
Tian Yuanyin had a good understanding of the nature of the sect's Nascent Soul Ancestor and knew that once he returned to the sect, he would not only be unable to protect the Nascent Soul Pill in his hand, but might also be harmed by the Ancestor.
In this way, the only places left in the Southern Wilderness Domain where he could prove his Dao as a True Venerable were the Middle and Southern Realms, where the Dao of Creation remained.
However, both realms are guarded by Nascent Soul cultivators, and he had offended them severely because of the matter of seizing the Nascent Soul Pill, making communication almost impossible.
After much deliberation, he decided that he had no choice but to risk proving himself as a True Venerable within the ruins of the Blazing Sun.
"I hope my guess is correct; a place of extraordinary fortune exists near the Hall of Derivation!"
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Origin Seal activated its escape light, speeding up its journey.
On the other side, outside the Yanxu Hall.
Chen Beiwu revisited the old place.
Unlike last time when he brought Senior Sister Xin, this time he came alone.
"Now that you've come, why hide in the shadows?"
Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed, and he did not rashly open the door of the Yanxu Palace as the young beast had said.
"We still couldn't hide it from Fellow Daoist Chen."
A figure quietly appeared on the left side of the palace gate.
She wore a plain white dress with fine cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, and walked barefoot, revealing a section of her fair and jade-like calves.
The jade belt around her waist was so delicate that it could be grasped in one hand, like a slender branch bearing a large fruit. But upon closer inspection, one could see that the person was slender and full-figured. However, the curves of her front and back were so stunning that the contrast was so obvious that it gave people the illusion of a slender branch.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao." Chen Beiwu's expression remained unchanged.
For some reason, every time Chen Beiwu activated his escape light to travel, Zhao Caixuan could spot him and follow him.
Could it be that Zhao Caixuan has left him with some kind of hidden weapon?
"Be careful, this guy might be a subordinate of the Blazing Sun True Venerable."
The sound of a cub echoed in Chen Beiwu's mind.
"Cough cough."
Suddenly, Zhao Caixuan coughed twice, her face turning pale, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, who injured you?" Chen Beiwu pretended not to know and asked casually.
"It's nothing, just some minor injuries."
Zhao Caixuan lightly wiped the corner of her mouth with her fingertip, smiling sweetly, and said, "I am already extremely fortunate to have escaped with my life from the clutches of the Corpse Demon Lord. What does a little injury matter?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward, her breath sweet as orchids, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what brings you to this place?"
"There's nothing I can do. Although the Heavenly Treasure Palace is full of rare and precious materials, it also has many powerful experts. If I, Chen, want to gain anything, I can only explore another place." Chen Beiwu sighed.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is being far too modest."
Zhao Caixuan parted her red lips slightly: "This concubine knows of a treasure land; I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen would be interested?"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Caixuan frowned and looked up at the streak of light rushing towards her from not far away.
"What kind of treasure land?"
The light dissipated, revealing Ji Yue's figure.
"Fellow Daoist Ji's strength is somewhat lacking; that treasure land is probably not meant for you," Zhao Caixuan said mercilessly.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch, and so am I, Fellow Daoist Zhao. How can you underestimate me?"
Ji Yue had a smile on his face, which was completely unlike that of a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator.
Zhao Caixuan didn't speak, but looked at Chen Beiwu.
Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please speak frankly."
Zhao Caixuan gave a soft "hmm" and began to speak: "I discovered a treasure land near the Yanxu Palace, which may be related to a place of great destiny." Upon hearing this, Ji Yue's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly delighted.
He was indeed incredibly lucky; when he wanted to find a place of great fortune, someone sent him a message.
However, Ji Yue, having cultivated to the point of becoming a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, naturally wouldn't let his guard down and immediately probed, "Where is that treasure land?" "It's not far from here."
Zhao Caixuan tilted her head and gazed at Chen Beiwu with adoration: "If Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to make a vow of Dao heart with me and become dual cultivation partners, I will naturally tell you everything I know without reservation."
"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly fortunate to have won the favor of such a beauty," Ji Yue said, trying to match them up.
He has cultivated for thousands of years and has seen all kinds of beauty.
Even though Zhao Caixuan, the True Monarch of Wonderful Desire, was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in terms of appearance, demeanor, and temperament, he was not moved at all. His eyes were only on the news of the Creation Land.
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhao is unwilling to speak, then so be it," Chen Beiwu shook his head, using retreat as a tactic to advance.
"There's no need to waste time arguing with these ants. Just open the gates of the Yanxu Palace using the method I taught you," the young beast urged. Chen Beiwu ignored Aji's words and quietly watched Zhao Caixuan.
The latter shook his head, and said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist Chen truly has a firm Daoist heart."
After saying that, Zhao Caixuan stopped teasing Chen Beiwu and urged her escape light to lead the way: "Not only me, but Corpse Demon True Lord also discovered that treasure land. If the three of us join forces, we might be able to get some benefits."
"Can."
Ji Yue nodded, having already made up his mind.
Although it's a pity, in order to prevent the news of the sacred site from leaking out, Chen Zi'ang, Zhao Caixuan, and the Corpse Demon True Lord Zhao Qianxun, among others, must all die. A quarter of an hour!
Half an hour!
45 minutes!
Led by Zhao Caixuan, Chen Beiwu and Ji Yue successfully arrived at an abandoned building complex buried by sandstorm.
Chen Beiwu looked around and activated his divine sense, but failed to detect anything unusual.
"The spatial passage here will open intermittently, so you'll have to wait a while," Zhao Caixuan reminded her.
"Buzz!"
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, sandstorms raged, and a spatial passage slowly formed.
"Don't go there! That's where the Venerable Blazing Sun passed away!"
The cub's voice rang out again, tinged with impatience.
Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine. He looked inward at the chaotic world and found that the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon was still divine and powerful, without any trace of calamity. He immediately felt reassured.
