Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 497 True Venerable's Overpowered Suppression

How dare you!

Since attaining the status of a True Venerable, Ning Xuanji had not heard such arrogant words for many years.

However, his expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly, "I am naturally aware of the rules of the Taixu Array Sect, but times have changed, and the old rules should be changed as well."

"How laughable! You have only just begun to understand creation and have not yet seen through the divine. You dare to spout nonsense in front of me based on just a single Dharma image."

The Blazing Sun True Venerable shook his head slightly, and the aura emanating from his body suddenly became incomparably domineering:

"I'd like to test your abilities."

As soon as the True Venerable of Blazing Sun finished speaking, Chen Beiwu's heart tightened.

The reason was simple: there was no burst of energy or flow of magical power, yet a gray-robed figure suddenly appeared before True Venerable Lieyang.

This figure not only looked exactly like the Eight Desolate True Venerable, but even the aura emanating from his body was identical.

"What kind of mystical power is this?" Chen Beiwu frowned slightly.

Perhaps because of the vast difference in their cultivation levels, he simply couldn't discern the intentions behind True Venerable Blazing Sun's actions.

Just then, True Venerable Lieyang closed his five fingers, gently clenched them towards the figure in front of him, and suppressed it into a golden ball of light.

Sensing something was amiss, Ning Xuanji's eyes narrowed slightly as he activated his Dharma Image Profound Power.

"boom!"

Ning Xuanji groaned, but instead of retreating, he advanced and looked at the Blazing Sun True Venerable.

In an instant, a ghostly light burst forth, engulfing everything.

Ning Xuanji's eyes flashed with a dark light that quickly spread to his face, neck, body, and even the surrounding void, forming eight mysterious scenes.

Scene 1: In the beginning of chaos, heaven and earth were separated.

The second scene: Sunrise and sunset, the cycle of yin and yang.

The three scenes are: mountains and rivers taking shape, and rivers flowing into different parts.

The seventh scene: Heaven and earth collapse, and all things wither.

The Eight Views: The extremes of heaven and earth, the destruction of the eight desolate realms.

"To have cultivated the 'Eight Desolations and Eight Divisions of the Silent Realm of Heaven and Earth' to such a level at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm is quite impressive."

The True Venerable of Blazing Sun spoke in a condescending tone, with a hint of mockery.

The True Venerable of Transformation has transcended the mortal realm and entered sainthood; he is no longer an ordinary cultivator, but one who cultivates the universe.

This world is not a borrowed external object, but its own world, a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth, also known as the Dharma-image world.

Therefore, a Nascent Soul True Venerable who enters this realm can easily make their words become law, replacing the laws of heaven and earth with their own will to accomplish things that are inconceivable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

He didn't even unleash his Dharma Form; he merely made a simple probe and forced out Ning Xuanji's Eight Desolations Intent. This shows that the opponent's Dharma Form Yuanzheng was not much, not even one-tenth of the strength of his true body.

It seems that the true deities of this era are weaker than those he deduced.

"Senior Xuan Tong is indeed powerful, but he is no match for me."

Ning Xuanji disregarded the disdain shown by the Blazing Sun True Venerable and suggested, "How about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" True Venerable Lieyang raised his eyelids slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"The number of heaven and earth is fifty-five, and the lifespan of a god is ten thousand years, which is difficult to exceed one hundred thousand years."

"This junior possesses a secret technique called the Supreme True Unity Great Rejuvenation Technique, which can allow you to live another life without diminishing your cultivation level," Ning Xuanji offered. "What good is such a reincarnation technique? It merely results in a wasted ten thousand years, with no hope of ever reaching the Void Refinement stage," True Venerable Lieyang shook his head slightly, his tone calm. A frog at the bottom of a well cannot fathom the vastness of the world.

The Taixu Array Sect possesses countless lineages, including even the Refining Void Technique. How could he possibly care about a mere method for reincarnated True Venerables to rebuild their lineage? "Ten thousand years is enough for you, senior, to rule a realm and re-establish the Taixu Array Sect's lineage," Ning Xuanji chuckled.

Since the Blazing Sun True Venerable has survived from ancient times to the present, he must have something in mind. How could he not care about the reincarnation and cultivation method in his possession? Such words are merely a way to lower the price.

"What do you want?" True Venerable Lieyang asked slowly.

"Oh no!" Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Beiwu has a grudge against the Eight Desolations Sect. Once the Blazing Sun True Venerable and the Eight Desolations True Venerable reach an agreement, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for him.

"The Divine Transformation Pill and the Creation Site within the Taixu Array Sect."

At this point, Ning Xuanji looked at Chen Beiwu: "Plus this kid's life."

Chen Zi'ang must die, but not at his hands.

Otherwise, if Zhu Wuyai goes mad and triggers the essence of the Mirror Moon, the entire Eight Desolations Sect will not only be buried with Chen Zi'ang, but he himself will also suffer Dao injuries. It would be better to let the Eight Desolations True Venerable solve this problem for him.

Upon hearing this, True Venerable Lieyang turned his gaze to Chen Beiwu.

Chen Beiwu met Lieyang Zhenzun's gaze with composure.

Given this situation, he certainly won't die, but the Heavenly Escape Seal he carries with him might not be able to be retained.

"Since this kid has passed the Dao Son test, he is now the Dao Son of my Taixu Array Sect."

The Blazing Sun True Venerable's expression changed as he looked at Ning Xuanji: "How dare you speak of killing my sect's Dao Child before me? You're courting death!"

boom!

When a deity is enraged, the heavens and earth change color.

Sensing the killing intent of the Blazing Sun True Venerable, Ning Xuanji frowned slightly: "This junior did not wish to be an enemy of the senior."

"But since you've put it this way, senior, and insist on your own way, then this junior has no choice but to learn from you and witness the strength of an ancient True Venerable." As he finished speaking, a terrifying aura, no less powerful than that of the Blazing Sun True Venerable, suddenly rose, causing Chen Beiwu's face to palen slightly, his heart to pound wildly, and his magical power to become chaotic. "Whoosh!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Beiwu activated the True Monarch Teleportation Mystic Power to flee frantically.

He knew very well that with his current strength, let alone participating in the battle of the Nascent Soul stage, even merely observing from the sidelines could result in him being caught in the aftershocks and dying. "Roar!" "Woof!" "Hiss!" "Eek!"

The four little guys, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling, also unleashed their magic power together to help Chen Beiwu escape.

boom!

boom!

boom!

During the teleportation, Chen Beiwu faintly heard the cry of a red crow behind him, as well as the rolling heat waves stirred up by the high sun, a terrifying heat capable of burning everything.

Even though Chen Beiwu was not Da Ri's target, he still felt a tightness in his chest, blood rushed to his throat, and he suffered a minor injury.

However, he didn't slow down his escape, and even disregarding the fact that he possessed a Heaven-Reaching Mystic Treasure, he directly used the Five Elements Bright King Wings to teleport away. This was because as the golden light rose and enveloped the heavens and earth, a dark light, like an abyss descending, also appeared, attempting to engulf and submerge him. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the Five Elements Bright King Wings flapped slightly, taking Chen Beiwu with them and disappearing. Only the golden light and the dark light collided violently, triggering a vast surge of spiritual energy that swept across the surrounding area, completely destroying the sea of ​​fire within the Heavenly Killing Truth-Seeking Array, as if it were the end of the world.

"Phew, I almost got caught up in it!"

Thousands of miles away, Chen Beiwu was panting heavily, his eyes filled with relief.

Without the Five Elements Bright King Wings breaking through the chaotic space, the Nascent Soul True Monarch's teleportation ability alone would not be enough to escape the battle zone between the Blazing Sun True Venerable and the Eight Desolations True Venerable.

"roar!"

The golden egg raised its head, gazing at the faint tremors emanating from the far distance, its eyes filled with longing.

So strong!!!

The mere clash between Yuan Jie, a True Venerable Dharma Image, and a Nascent Soul True Venerable who had perished tens of thousands of years ago, was enough to annihilate all Nascent Soul True Monarchs and instill fear in the Demon Kings of the Four Realms.

If a True Immortal of the Nascent Soul stage were to personally visit, what a sight that would be!

"Ancient texts say that the True Venerable One who has transformed into a deity holds sway over heaven and earth; a single word can sway mountains and rivers, and a single thought can decide life and death; therefore, he is worthy of being called a Venerable One."

Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, his Spirit Guardian Mirror flashing as he suppressed his distracting thoughts.

With the help of resources from both realms, he will eventually be able to reach the realm of Nascent Soul.

boom!

The great sun devoured the ghostly light, unleashing a wave of extreme heat.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

True Venerable Lieyang slowly lowered his right hand.

Ultimately, since the opponent did not descend in their true form, but merely manifested a wisp of Dharma image, it was not enough to pose a threat to him.

If he hadn't needed to absorb Ning Xuanji's vital energy, this battle could have ended much faster.

Ning Xuanji remained silent.

He knew there were differences between Nascent Soul True Venerables, but he never expected that even after tens of thousands of years since the fall of Blazing Sun True Venerable, he could still retain such combat power.

Fortunately, he acted prudently and did not rashly enter the Blazing Sun Ruins in his true form, otherwise he might have been in danger of dying.

Just then, a gray-white beam of light suddenly appeared behind the Blazing Sun True Venerable, bursting with ferocious energy and pointing straight at his head.

boom!

Without turning around, True Venerable Lieyang pointed out with his finger, forcibly suppressing the gray-white beam of light.

In an instant, the beam of light materialized, revealing a bone spur.

This spike has a bizarre shape, and its bone is covered with dense fifth-order Yuan script, clearly indicating that it is a fifth-order array weapon.

"Another one sent to their death?" The eyes of the Blazing Sun True Venerable flickered slightly.

"If senior is willing to offer the Divine Transformation Pill, this junior may immediately leave this world," Su Tianhe said in a hoarse voice.

His lifespan is limited, and he needs to cultivate the next Nascent Soul True Venerable for the sect before his time comes, perhaps to obtain a longevity-extending elixir. Otherwise, the foundation that the Heavenly Craftsmanship Talisman Sect has accumulated over tens of thousands of years will eventually be seized by the Eight Desolate Sect.

Therefore, he had no choice but to come this time!

"Ridiculous. If I hadn't deliberately closed the array restrictions, you wouldn't have thought you could enter the Hall of Truth-Seeking."

The Blazing Sun True Venerable chuckled, his tone playful: "Why do you think I deliberately let you in?"

Upon hearing this, the Eight Desolate True Venerable and the Heavenly Craft True Venerable remained unmoved.

What are you afraid of?

Until the very end, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious!

On the other side, a hill brimming with inspiration.

"Since you're here, why not show yourself?"

Chen Beiwu suddenly opened his eyes.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Zhao Caixuan appeared with a charming smile and a confident demeanor.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Chen Beiwu had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Caixuan and went straight to the point.

"Does Fellow Daoist Chen want to leave this place alive?" Zhao Caixuan asked seriously.

"I don't believe you." Chen Beiwu shook his head.

"There is a teleportation array inside the Yanxu Palace that can move people away from the Blazing Sun Ruins. Whether Fellow Daoist Chen believes it or not, this is the key to opening the Yanxu Palace." Zhao Caixuan flicked her finger, and a stream of light landed on Chen Beiwu. Then she turned and stepped away, intending to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes were deep, and he made no move to stop him.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

After taking three steps, seeing that Chen Ziang did not stop her, Zhao Caixuan stopped and turned around.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly heartless, he has no sense of tenderness or compassion for women."

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu laughed, reaching out to grasp the flowing light before him: "So, your talk of showing mercy to women is just sending me to my death?" "Fellow Daoist Chen, why would you think that?"

Zhao Caixuan frowned slightly, her eyes showing surprise.

Stop pretending.

Chen Beiwu bluntly stated, "I don't believe you're unaware of Aji's existence."

Zhao Caixuan's eyes widened slightly, her gaze filled with confusion: "What, Aji? What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is quite sensible, showing no intention of resistance. It seems he is prepared to go all the way down this path."

Chen Beiwu bluntly stated, "But once tools are used up, they are often discarded."

"There's nothing I can do; I'm at their mercy."

Seeing that Chen Ziang had seen through her, Zhao Caixuan gave a bitter smile and stopped hiding her identity.

She was unlucky; as soon as she entered the Blazing Sun Ruins, the True Venerable placed a restriction on her, leaving her in control of her life and death. She needed to fulfill three conditions for the True Venerable to escape. The first and second conditions were to find a True Monarch genius with unparalleled talent and bring him into the Blazing Sun Ruins.

Puppet Blood True Monarch Yun Kui was the first True Monarch prodigy she sought, and Chen Zi'ang was the second.

Just now, the True Venerable issued a decree that if she could get Chen Zi'ang into the Yanxu Palace and cultivate the Taixu Array Sect's inheritance, she could fulfill the last condition and gain freedom.

Knowing that Chen Ziang had already harbored suspicions, Zhao Caixuan did the opposite, deliberately letting him guess part of the truth.

"However, Fellow Daoist Chen, you only guessed half right. The True Venerable does not want to kill you, but rather wants to cultivate you into a Dao Child of the Taixu Array Sect, or even the Sect Master of Taixu."

At this point, Zhao Caixuan gave a slight bow, revealing her fair cleavage, her eyes pure and charming:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't you consider it? Entering the Yanxu Palace to cultivate together with me would allow you to obtain the inheritance of the Array Sect and also possess my first virginity. Why not?"

Chen Beiwu remained silent, only coldly staring at Zhao Caixuan.

"Very well, since Fellow Daoist Chen is unwilling, then I will have no choice but to forcibly bring you into the hall to cultivate."

Zhao Caixuan sighed softly, no longer hiding her power, and unleashed the pressure of a fully-fledged Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"

Sensing this powerful aura, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling all had solemn expressions and dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the figure of the Blazing Sun True Venerable appeared.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." Zhao Caixuan quickly bowed.

"waste."

Ignoring Zhao Caixuan's presence, True Venerable Lieyang turned his gaze to Chen Beiwu: "The troublemaker has been dealt with. Would you like to become my disciple?" "May I ask, True Venerable, to become your disciple, is it necessary to enter the Yanxu Hall?" Chen Beiwu asked.

"Our sect's cultivation method belongs to the Lesser Yang, and one must enter the Yanxu Palace to cultivate in order to evolve into Pure Yang and lay the foundation for the Nascent Soul stage." True Venerable Lieyang said in a deep voice, "If you join my sect, you will naturally have to enter the Yanxu Palace."

Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine, for the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon within the chaotic world had begun to issue a warning.

Without a doubt, if he listens to the words of the True Venerable Lieyang and enters the Yanxu Palace, disaster will surely follow.

"I'll give you ten breaths to consider. Either become my disciple, or become my vessel." True Venerable Lieyang glanced at Chen Beiwu. In order to resolve the two Nascent Soul stage manifestations and seize the key essence, he had expended a great deal of energy, leaving him with less than one-tenth of his strength. He needed to quickly decide on a target for possession. Among all the True Monarch prodigies, he favored Chen Zi'ang the most.

However, Chen Zi'ang's physical body was too weak to accommodate a Nascent Soul True Spirit; it needed to be tempered with the blood of the Qiankun Dragon to become the best vessel. "To accept, or to flee?"

Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and he quickly made up his mind.

His intuition told him that becoming a disciple of the Blazing Sun True Venerable was not a good choice; it would be better to activate the Heavenly Escape Seal and leave, taking with him his gains. Boom!

Just then, a strange thing happened: the entire ruins began to tremble.

A deafening dragon roar followed, carrying an undisguised sense of exhilaration.
