"This method is profound, but extremely difficult to cultivate. Junior Brother Chen, you must be careful," Zhu Wuyai reminded him.
The difficulty of the Transformation Mystic Method far surpasses that of the Nascent Soul and Core Formation Mystic Methods.
Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, if he is not careful and makes a mistake in cultivating the "Taiyi Xuanshu Returning to Truth and Breaking the Cause Method", will cause the Heavenly Gang True Chaos and damage to the Nascent Soul in the Purple Mansion. He cannot afford to be careless.
Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, carefully put away the jade slip containing the cultivation technique, and then spoke of the Taiyi Slaying Sword's intention to accept a disciple on behalf of the Taiyi Daoist.
"What do you think of this matter, Senior Brother? Is it possible to gain the approval of the five sects' higher-ups?" Chen Beiwu asked for his opinion.
Zhu Wuyai pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's probably not going to work. The Taiyi Zhannie Sword can only represent the Xuanjian Pavilion."
"Qingmu, Fenyan, and Chongjin each possess their own sect's foundation, and even if the Taiyi Zhannie Sword were willing to accept disciples on behalf of the Taiyi Daozun, it's not certain they would gain the recognition of all three sects."
At this point, he changed the subject: "But it's not without its benefits for you, Junior Brother, to agree to this. Once you are recognized by the Taiyi Slaying Sword, you will be able to gradually interfere with and even rule the entire Xuanjian Pavilion as a disciple of the Dao Venerable."
"With the help of the Xuanjian Pavilion, Junior Brother, you will also receive great assistance in your desire to return the Five Sects to their origins and re-establish the Taiyi Dao lineage—" Zhu Wuyai did not hide anything and pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the matter one by one.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's thoughts raced, and he decided to wait a little longer.
In his view, rather than relying on the Taiyi Slaying Sword to subdue the Xuanjian Pavilion, it would be better to become a True Venerable, then use his power to suppress the four sects, re-establish the Dao lineage, and complete the return of the five sects to their origin.
After all, Chen Beiwu is not far from the Nascent Soul stage. He is two minor realms away from the Nascent Soul stage and one major realm away from the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, the Taiyi Slaying Sword is a Primordial Dao Artifact with power comparable to a Void Refining Dao Venerable, which is difficult to fathom. If he gets too close to a Primordial Dao Artifact, his secrets may be exposed.
In addition, there are two other important reasons: one is that the Immortal Alliance's Cave Heaven Competition is about to begin, and Chen Beiwu is too busy to attend to the Taiyi Slaying Sword to learn swordsmanship.
Another point is that Chen Beiwu is very clear about how he quickly mastered the art of the sword.
If he were to learn swordsmanship, even if he had good comprehension and talent, he might not be able to meet the requirements of the Taiyi Zhannie Sword. Instead, he might easily create some unexpected variables, or even make the Taiyi Zhannie Sword realize that its own sword intent was not right.
"Senior brother, I am a disciple of the Mirror Moon lineage, and I already have a master. Now I am the head of a sect. It would be disgraceful for the Mirror Moon sect to accept the Taiyi Slaying Sword as my master. Let's put this matter aside for now," Chen Beiwu said, having made up his mind.
Hearing this, Zhu Wuyai remained expressionless, but felt quite gratified.
Even the distant offer of accepting disciples for the Taiyi Slaying Sword was refused; this junior brother of his truly has his heart set on the sect.
"I am about to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I will entrust the matter of the alliance of the various sects in the Southern Wilderness and all other sect affairs to you, junior brother."
Zhu Wuyai took out a jade slip and handed it to Chen Beiwu: "If a powerful enemy attacks, we need to mobilize the sect's resources to suppress the enemy. Junior brother, you can use this jade slip as a token to ask Senior Dongfeng to come out of the mountain."
"Who is Senior Feng?"
Chen Beiwu became interested. Besides his senior brother Zhu Wuyai, could there be another Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch in the sect?
"Senior Feng is the former chief elder of the sect, with profound cultivation. According to seniority, junior brother should address him as grandmaster uncle."
Zhu Wuyai didn't mince words and briefly revealed a few details about Senior Feng.
To put it bluntly, not only the Mirror Moon Sect, but also the Green Wood, Burning Flame, Profound Sword and Heavy Gold Sects all have powerful senior True Monarchs who are in seclusion fighting against the limits of lifespan, barely clinging to life, just to find another way to achieve the path to becoming a True Venerable.
Therefore, unless the sect is facing a life-or-death crisis, even if Zhu Wuyai issues a decree, it will not be able to make these senior True Monarchs leave their seclusion to fight the enemy.
Chen Beiwu put away the jade slip, then sent Zhu Wuyai away in his escape light, remaining silent.
Heaven and earth are flawed, making it difficult to achieve divine transformation.
Today's parting may very well be the last time they ever see each other in their lives.
Unfortunately, if my senior brother had listened to him and waited a little longer, and waited until he achieved the Dao and became a deity, he might have been able to find a Dao essence of creation in the Immortal Alliance to give to my senior brother.
On the other side, at the Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate.
Luo Zhan returned the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to his master, the Nine Dragons True Lord.
"I heard Li Xiaoyao was defeated?" Nine Dragons True Lord said expressionlessly.
"Yes, Master."
Luo Zhan nodded and recounted what he had seen that day, his tone filled with undisguised amazement.
Clearly, the fact that the Carefree Sword Master was defeated by Chen Zi'ang had greatly shocked him.
"Um."
Suppressing his astonishment, the Nine Dragons True Monarch immersed his divine sense in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and communicated with the spirit of the Primordial Dao Artifact.
Senior Divine Fire, how was the trip?
There were some gains, though.
Could you elaborate a bit more, senior?
The thing you were worried about didn't happen. Tianyi Zhenlong was very stingy and didn't give Chen Ziang a single drop of Beiming True Water.
Otherwise, with that little fellow's talent, the probability of him becoming a True Venerable in the future could be as high as 40%. "The Divine Fire True Spirit sighed.
Even a piece of Nine Dragons True Lord, a piece of rotten wood that is unlikely to become a god, was willing to give it a wisp of Nine Dragons True Fire.
If a peerless genius like Chen Zi'ang were born into the Burning Flame Sect, it wouldn't mind providing another source of divine fire to help him break through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top barrier.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world; Chen Zi'ang is the sect leader of Jingyue Sect.
Once it successfully attains the Dao and transforms into a deity, wielding the Tianyi Beiming Mirror to sort out the dragon veins of heaven and earth, repair the defects of heaven and earth, recreate heaven and earth, restore order, and restore the origin of the Tianyi True Dragon, it will probably not have a good time in the future.
Thinking of the grudges between himself and Tianyi Zhenlong, Shenhuo Zhenling sighed in his heart.
The timing is not right. The Great Array of the Southern Wilderness is about to collapse, and this world is about to connect with the Eastern Region. It cannot afford to lose too much of its essence through internal strife. Otherwise, it would not mind sending out all the experts of the Burning Flame Sect to surround and kill Chen Zi'ang, the sect leader of the Mirror Moon Sect.
I will give you a divine fire source to help you gather your three flowers at the top of your head. Do you dare to become a true master?
The divine fire and true spirit slowly resonated in the heart of the Nine Dragons True Lord.
"Why wouldn't you dare?"
The Nine Dragons True Lord laughed: "I have cultivated for two thousand years, mastering the Nine Gates of the Mystic Transformation Technique. Even though the Dao of Earthly Creation is now incomplete, I still have a 20% chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage."
"Good." The Divine Fire True Spirit returned to its dormant state.
Nine Dragons True Lord turned his head to look at Luo Zhan: "Issue my decree that from today onwards, the Burning Flame Mountain Gate shall be closed, and we shall not concern ourselves with worldly affairs. The matter of the Five Sects Returning to Origin and forming an alliance with the sects of the Southern Wilderness shall be discussed after I emerge from seclusion."
"Yes." Luo Zhan bowed slightly, understanding the ancestor's determination.
It’s different in the past.
A major upheaval is imminent in the Southern Wilderness. If the Burning Flame Sect does not have a Divine Transformation True Venerable in charge, it will be difficult for the top cultivation forces in the Eastern Region to be wary of it.
A few days later, the Earthly Transformation cultivators were surprised to find that, apart from the Mirror Moon Sect, the Green Wood, Burning Flame, Profound Sword, and Heavy Gold Sects had all sealed their mountain gates and were no longer involved in worldly affairs.
In the entire Earthly Realm, only the cultivators of the Mirror Moon Sect are still active, and they are even actively supporting and subduing some small and medium-sized cultivation families.
In Yuezhen City.
Chen Beiwu noticed the changes in the fortune within the chaotic world and narrowed his eyes slightly.
After acquiring the two great supernatural powers of Nine Breaths Breathing and Fortune-Cultivating the Embryo during this period, the positions and fortunes within the chaotic world have gradually stabilized.
The change in his position was not significant; he remained under the Purple Canopy, but it increased Chen Beiwu's efficiency in accumulating fortune by a full 20%.
"Buzz!"
As the three auspicious crimson dragons merged and converged, a wisp of purple mist appeared in the sky above the chaotic world.
"Reputation can also influence one's fortune. The fact that this purple aura was able to form smoothly is probably one-third related to the Carefree Sword Lord," Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
He summoned Yu Shuiyao, the Nine Palaces True Lord, and entrusted her and Shu You with some of the miscellaneous affairs of Yuezhen City. Chen Beiwu then entered the City Lord's Mansion cultivation cave for seclusion.
Time flies, and seven days pass in the blink of an eye.
Aji shook the eggshell, enjoying Chen Beiwu's profound enlightenment through the Golden Elixir.
"Huh?" (Should we try again?)
The golden egg suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Tie Dan paused, looking up in surprise.
Schiller frowned slightly, her little face scrunched up, revealing an unwilling look in her eyes.
Zhiling's eyes flickered, realizing this was an irrational decision.
Noticing the four little ones' reaction, Aji swayed his body, quite curious.
Sure, but are you confident you can win a one-on-one fight?
Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg and teased.
Jin Dan's expression froze instantly.
It's not afraid of one-on-one fights, but it doesn't have much of a chance of winning.
"Come on, since you can't stay still and want to get beaten up, then go see an old friend." Chen Beiwu smiled, thinking it was time to teach Jin Dan a lesson.
The True Realm of Heavenly Evolution.
As soon as Chen Beiwu appeared, a dark figure came to greet him.
"Buzz!"
Aji shook the giant egg and quickly reminded Chen Beiwu with his mind.
The visitor's aura was extremely powerful, causing it to instinctively feel a sense of unease.
"Is this the true value of being ranked third on the Creation Beast Ranking?"
-
Sensing Aji's change in mood, Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
Even when faced with powerful figures like Senior Brother Zhu and the Carefree Sword Lord, who were halfway to the Nascent Soul stage, Aji did not show such agitation, which shows how strong the Fighting Demon Ape is!
The next instant, as the black light dissipated, a demonic ape wrapped in dark gold chains and with a tattered Buddha mask covering its face came into Chen Beiwu's view.
"Senior, it's been a long time." Chen Beiwu greeted him.
"You've become stronger!" the Fighting Demon Ape said.
This is the first time it has acknowledged Chen Beiwu's strength.
"I am still not as good as you, senior," Chen Beiwu said earnestly.
He was confident he could suppress the Earth Qilin.
But for some reason, he had no confidence at all in defeating the Fighting Demon Ape.
This made Chen Beiwu sigh inwardly, realizing that even among the same Creation Beasts, there were differences in rank.
"What is it?"
The Fighting Demon Ape looked at Aji and realized that the latter was extraordinary.
"My contracted companion beast," Chen Beiwu said succinctly.
During their last sparring session, due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Chen Beiwu only knew that the Fighting Demon Ape possessed power far exceeding his own. The sparring between the two was like a firefly vying for the brilliance of the sun.
But this time was different. With the change in his cultivation level, Chen Beiwu was able to roughly sense that the Battle Demon Ape's cultivation level was as high as 9,999 years, which had reached the limit of the fourth realm demon king.
No, that's not all!
Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed as he looked at the chains binding the Fighting Demon Ape.
Even with the Demon-Binding Chains suppressing it, the Fighting Demon Ape still possesses such an imposing aura. If the chains were removed, the power it could unleash would likely be even more formidable.
"roar."
The golden egg soared through the clouds and blocked Chen Beiwu's path, staring directly at the Fighting Demon Ape.
The suppression between bloodlines and the previous crushing defeat cannot make Golden Egg admit defeat.
It will fly up from where it falls, and if that doesn't work, it will fall again.
Sooner or later, it will prove to Chen Beiwu that it is the team's strongest ace!
"Nice eyes."
The Fighting Demon Ape gave a word of praise, its gaze lingering on Aji.
Although this three-headed black dragon is courageous, it prefers opponents of equal strength.
The giant egg in front of me has an extraordinary aura. Even if my cultivation level is a bit lacking, it should still be able to relieve my boredom.
The only thing that made the Fighting Demon Ape feel sorry for was that Chen Beiwu, one of the main dishes, only had the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, rather than the Nascent Soul stage of perfection.
Otherwise, today would be the day it proves its worth!
"To fight or not to fight?"
The Fighting Demon Ape extended an invitation directly.
"Of course, I'm here today to keep my promise." Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
With the Cave Heaven Grand Competition about to begin, Chen Beiwu also wanted to figure out the upper limit of his current strength and see if he could suppress the Battle Demon Ape, who was at the peak of the Demon King realm.
"Very good, make your move."
As soon as the Fighting Demon Ape finished speaking, an inexplicable pressure surged into Chen Beiwu's heart, and even the Golden Eggs and the others began to breathe rapidly.
boom!
Chen Beiwu moved, forming hand seals and immediately unleashing the Primordial Five Tribulations Seal, drawing upon the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth to summon a giant five-colored seal, which he then ruthlessly smashed towards the head of the Fighting Demon Ape.
The demonic ape neither dodged nor evaded, but took a step forward, causing the void beneath its feet to explode and transform into a black light that forcefully shattered the Primordial Five Tribulations Seal. It then pointed a finger at Chen Beiwu's shoulder.
"puff!"
Finger flashes, blood and flesh splatter.
Chen Beiwu's protective Qi was instantly shattered, and a finger-sized hole appeared on his shoulder, through which his jade bones could be vaguely seen.
"Such speed, such eerie truth!"
As soon as they clashed, Chen Beiwu realized how troublesome the Fighting Demon Ape was.
With a casual flick of his finger, the demonic ape unleashed a devastating attack comparable to Lingxiao's strike before he had grasped the essence of the Immortal-Slaying Blade.
"Hey!"
With a clap of her small hand, Schiller unleashed a burst of five-elemental light, instantly restoring the finger hole on Chen Beiwu's shoulder to its original state, leaving only a faint red mark.
Meanwhile, the golden egg and the iron egg, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed their profound powers, launching a pincer attack from both sides.
boom!
The Fighting Demon Ape clenched its fists, its movements simple and brutal.
With one punch, he shattered the two heads of the golden egg; with one foot, he cracked the back of the iron egg; then he opened his mouth and let out a roar, directly causing the five-headed wooden dragon that rose from the ground to crumble into countless fragments.
"Eek!" (Great Sky Claw!)
Seeing that the Heaven-Changing Mystic Power was ineffective, Zhiling activated the Great Freedom Void Domain, and silently attacked the waist of the Fighting Demon Ape with her claws.
Unexpectedly, the Fighting Demon Ape flicked its tail, transforming into a streak of black light that shattered the Great Rift Claw, before gently touching Zhiling's forehead.
"call out!"
Zhiling felt a sharp pain in her head and her body retreated violently in the opposite direction, transforming into a streak of purple light and crashing heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust and creating a huge ravine with a diameter of about a thousand feet.
Within the ravine, the spiritual energy was in disarray. Zhiling barely managed to support herself and discovered that the power of the surrounding space had become extremely turbulent and difficult to control, and her profound abilities had been weakened by almost 70%.
"Testing is useless, quickly unleash your explosive power!"
The Fighting Demon Ape stood still, as if it had eyes in the back of its head. It slammed its fist behind it, striking the Golden Egg, who had launched a sneak attack, right on the neck and knocking it back to Chen Beiwu.
"roar!"
The golden egg forcefully gripped the dragon's body, and the three dragon heads let out a low roar, their momentum undiminished.
As expected, it didn't work. It had just tried using the Great Evolution True Mystery Technique and found that illusions had no effect on the Fighting Demon Ape.
"As you wish." Chen Beiwu sighed softly.
The reason he didn't use the Myriad Spirits Calamity Transformation immediately was to let the golden egg get beaten up and learn a lesson.
The reason is simple: while unleashing profound abilities is certainly useful, many cultivators suffer a crushing defeat before even having the chance to use them against truly powerful individuals.
To put it bluntly, in a battle between the strong, realm is the foundation of everything. This is why Chen Beiwu has never challenged the Fighting Demon Ape.
If Golden Egg doesn't understand this point and keeps thinking about fighting across borders, he'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!
