Chapter 554 Pure Yang Arrives
"Buzz!"
Just as Aji was eager to devour the demonic ape's essence blood, Chen Beiwu suddenly withdrew his hand.
"???"
The giant egg swayed, revealing a hint of emotion.
"The Grand Tournament of the Cave Heaven is about to begin, and I have a great use for this drop of essence blood," Chen Beiwu reassured him with his divine sense.
The problem is not scarcity, but inequality.
During this period, he had used too many cultivation resources to heal and nurture Aji. Even the golden eggs had made concessions in a sensible manner, but this could not continue indefinitely.
Both the Golden Egg and the Iron Egg are stuck at the mid-stage of the Demon King realm, and there's only one Earth Scale Fruit left, so it's not a good idea to give it to anyone.
If this drop of demonic ape blood essence is used properly, it can completely help the two little guys, Golden Egg and Iron Egg, break through the barrier of their cultivation realm, greatly increase their cultivation, and enter the late stage of the Demon King realm in one fell swoop.
At that time, Aji will also receive some benefits through the feedback from the Co-existing Contract.
"Buzz".
Aji stopped shaking and did not object.
It is now a Nascent Soul Peak Demon King with a cultivation level of 7999 years, so it seems reasonable for it to give way to the juniors in the team.
"!!!"
Upon noticing Aji's thoughts, Jindan and Tiedan exchanged a glance, feeling that the former was going against the natural order.
Based on seniority, they are the real seniors to Aji!
"Buzz!"
Aji swayed slightly, indicating that the practice of ranking people by seniority was too outdated, and that it was fairest to divide people according to their cultivation and strength.
"alright."
With a thought, Chen Beiwu divided the Demon Ape's essence blood in two, giving half a drop to the Golden Egg and the other half to the Iron Egg. He did the same with the Earth Scale Fruit, then left the Heavenly Evolution True Realm and returned to the Immortal Alliance.
Shuiyanju is located inside.
As soon as Chen Beiwu appeared, he reached out to the densely packed jade slips floating together at the entrance of the cave.
Scanning the jade slips with his divine sense, Chen Beiwu learned about the various events that had occurred in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect during this period. A special jade slip caught Chen Beiwu's attention.
It actually worked?
Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing considerable surprise.
"Huh?" (What's done?)
The golden egg curiously peeked over.
"It's nothing. I was just being petty and underestimated the Dao Venerable Immortal Clan's resources and arrogance," Chen Beiwu chuckled, a smile playing on his lips.
It's just taking on one more disciple.
Since someone was willing to deliver treasure to his door, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Of course, Chen Beiwu also didn't forget to pick up his phone and contact relatives and friends he hadn't seen for many years, especially his parents who lived in his hometown all year round.
Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Seeking Truth Cave.
"call."
Xiao Yan finished his cultivation, exhaled a breath of stale air, and turned to look at the blue-robed cultivator who had appeared quietly: "Haven't you replied yet?"
The blue-robed cultivator shook his head: "Young Master, there has been no reply from True Martial Monarch. He is most likely still in seclusion."
After he finished speaking, the blue-robed cultivator hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"You've followed me for many years, so you can speak frankly," Xiao Yan said.
"Young Master, True Martial Lord is in seclusion most of the year and rarely teaches his disciples. Won't you reconsider?"
The blue-robed cultivator couldn't understand why the young master would go to such lengths, even using resources from his maternal clan, just to become a disciple of True Martial Lord.
"There's nothing to consider."
Xiao Yan smiled calmly: "If I don't achieve the Pure Yang Nascent Soul stage, I won't be able to maintain my current status. Since that's the case, I might as well pool all the resources I can use in advance and take a gamble."
"Putting aside everything else, just take this Cave Heaven Grand Competition as an example. If my master can defeat the Cave Heaven prodigies who come to knock on the mountain in a head-on battle, obtain a seat to participate in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, and suppress the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the two great immortal sects, Taiqing and Shangqing, in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, and defend the prestige of Yuqing as the number one immortal sect, he will definitely have hope of becoming a god in the future."
"Even if I fail to forge a pure Yang nascent soul, I can still become a disciple of my master and cultivate, thus gaining a potential Nascent Soul True Venerable for the clan. My status within the clan will not diminish too much."
Upon hearing this, the blue-robed cultivator was slightly taken aback and was about to speak.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and his eyes revealed a strange look.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan sensed something was wrong and casually asked.
"True Martial Lord has emerged from seclusion and is now on his way to the Seeking Truth Cave," the blue-robed cultivator said succinctly.
"Very good, quickly bring out my treasured fourth-grade Xuan Tea." Xiao Yan's expression lit up with joy.
"Yes." The blue-robed monk stepped back to brew tea.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, took the initiative to get up and leave the cave, waiting in advance to welcome Chen Beiwu into the mansion.
"Greetings, Master Chen. This way, please."
"This is the student's tuition fee."
As soon as Chen Beiwu sat down, Xiao Yan took out a jade gourd and handed it to him.
"That's very thoughtful."
Chen Beiwu opened the jade gourd and probed it with his divine sense. The shimmering liquid inside was exactly as described in ancient books—it was the Heavenly Embryo Dew that he had been longing for.
"Master Chen, when do you think it would be appropriate to set the date for the formal apprenticeship ceremony?" Xiao Yan asked.
"There's no time like the present, let's just have a simple apprenticeship ceremony today."
Chen Beiwu put away the jade gourd and suddenly felt that Xiao Yan was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Yes, please have some tea, Master."
Xiao Yan immediately poured tea and water and formally became his disciple.
At this moment, another wisp of fortune appeared in the purple canopy within Chen Beiwu's chaotic world.
"Get up. You are still a long way from forming your Nascent Soul. The most important thing is to consolidate your Golden Core foundation."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Beiwu explained the Great Dao of the Primordial Golden Elixir to Xiao Yan and imparted his insights on condensing the embryonic form of the Yang God.
Before we knew it, three days and three nights had quietly passed.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master, which has helped me see the path to the peak of the Golden Core realm." Xiao Yan's eyes shone brightly.
He benefited greatly from his master's three days and three nights of instruction, and soon reached the Golden Core realm, far surpassing the benefits of decades of seclusion.
"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Once you've reached the Golden Core stage, I'll teach you the method to condense a Pure Yang Nascent Soul."
Chen Beiwu handed Xiao Yan a communication jade slip, explaining that the True Martial Society within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect was founded by his senior brother Chi Quan. Both of them were at the Golden Core stage and could discuss cultivation with each other.
"Disciple understands." Xiao Yan bowed respectfully, showing none of the arrogance of the immortal race.
"If you encounter any difficulties in your daily cultivation, you can contact me through the communication jade slip."
After saying this, Chen Beiwu rode away on his golden egg, heading towards the cave of the Linglong True Lord.
As Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared into the horizon, Xiao Yan's smile faded.
But the blue-robed cultivator noticed that the young master seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today.
Time will tell, I won't make the wrong bet.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and began to comprehend the foundational teachings passed down by his master.
He knew very well that even if he were to forge a pure Yang nascent soul in the future, he would never become a peerless figure like his master.
Since that's the case, instead of trying to improve himself, he should seize the opportunity, follow behind his master, and see how vast his master's future is!
On the other side, at the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, on Linglong Peak.
"Here is the True Essence Pill you requested."
Linglong Zhenjun casually tossed out a jade bottle: "For Tiedan's sake, I won't charge you extra for your services."
"Then thank you very much, True Lord." Chen Beiwu smiled calmly.
Linglong Zhenjun turned around without even glancing at Chen Beiwu: "No need to thank me, just don't lose too badly."
In recent years, although the Jade Purity Immortal Sect has been able to suppress the Taiqing and Jade Purity sects in the Grand Cave Heaven Competition, it has still been difficult to win against the five major cave heavens.
Faced with Linglong Zhenjun's skepticism, Chen Beiwu smiled and did not make any boastful remarks about overthrowing the Five Great Grotto Heavens.
The reason is simple: he can improve himself by using the resources of the Southern Wilderness and consuming many rare and precious materials. The chief cultivators of the five great grotto heavens can also do so, and may even be able to obtain even rarer cultivation resources in the grotto heavens.
However, using too much of this kind of cultivation resource can easily damage one's foundation; otherwise, Chen Beiwu wouldn't have been able to avoid using the Heavenly Heart Liquid until now.
Back at Shuiyan Residence, Chen Beiwu activated the cave's grand formation, took out the Demon Ape's essence blood and the Earth Scale Fruit, intending to help Golden Egg and Iron Egg break through their cultivation realms.
Just then, a special jade talisman landed at the entrance of the cave and emitted a faint light.
Chen Beiwu probed with his divine sense, storing the demonic ape's essence blood and the earth-scale fruit into his chaotic world. He then got up and headed to the Jade Purity Hall to meet the sect leader.
Yuqing Peak, Yuqing Hall.
"Buzz!"
As the gate opened, the figure of the Jade Purity Sect Leader slowly appeared.
"Greetings, Sect Leader. May I ask what important matter you have summoned me for?" Chen Beiwu bowed slightly.
"The Grand Cave Heaven Competition is about to begin, and the five great cave heavens have already dispatched their most outstanding talents to the thirteen immortal sects," said True Venerable Zixiao.
Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat: "Sect Leader, which celestial prodigy is on the sect's side?"
"Jiang Xuanyang, the True Lord Yiyang, one of the Six Heroes of Chunyang Grotto-heaven." True Venerable Zixiao said calmly, "This person's cultivation is at the late stage of Nascent Soul, and he cultivates the 'Pure Yang Fusion Fire Burning Heaven Great Dao Scripture,' one of the seventy-nine immortal techniques of Chunyang Grotto-heaven."
Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow.
One of the six outstanding figures of Chunyang Cave Heaven is a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch. If we also include Zhu Wu, the chief of the cave heaven, wouldn't that mean that Chunyang Cave Heaven has at least seven late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs who are less than three hundred years old in this generation?
"He will be visiting the sect in a month. Are you confident?" Zixiao Zhenzun's gaze fell on Chen Beiwu.
"I will defeat him," Chen Beiwu said calmly.
"Not bad." True Venerable Zixiao nodded slightly.
"But Sect Leader, there's something I don't understand," Chen Beiwu said, changing the subject.
"Speak."
"If the geniuses and experts sent by Chunyang Cave Heaven to knock on the mountain are all late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs, then there are very few who can rival them among the ten great immortal sects. Wouldn't they be unable to participate in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition?"
"That's right. In previous Cave Heaven Competitions, more than half of the ten immortal sects were unable to participate in the Nascent Soul level Cave Heaven Competition. Only the top three immortal sects have never been absent." True Venerable Zixiao revealed a gentle smile.
Perhaps it was because Chen Beiwu had become so powerful in recent years that all five major grotto-heavens raised their intensity by a level this year.
In previous years, the powerful cultivators sent out by the five great grotto heavens to raid the mountains were mostly at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
Otherwise, if too few immortal sects participate in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, the five great cave heavens will not be able to reveal their secrets and attract the True Lords of the major immortal sects to join.
"I see." Chen Beiwu looked at the golden egg and the iron egg, his eyes showing hesitation.
"You can speak frankly about your concerns."
"Golden Egg and Iron Egg have recently gained some insights and are very likely to break through within this month. If it just so happens—"
Before Chen Beiwu could finish speaking, Zixiao Zhenzun shook his head: "You can rest assured that there is no time limit for ascending the sect and knocking on the mountain. You just need to complete it before the Cave Heaven Grand Competition officially begins."
With that, he waved his sleeve, and two streaks of light landed in front of Chen Beiwu: "I have two King-Shedding Pills here. If your ginseng beast has recently made a breakthrough, consuming these pills will allow you to stabilize your cultivation and complete your bloodline transformation in the shortest possible time. Do you still have any doubts?"
"No, no, thank you, Master."
Chen Beiwu quickly accepted the pills and gave a slight bow.
"This is the detailed information about True Lord Yi Yang. Take a good look at it when you get back."
With a flick of his finger, the Purple Cloud True Venerable sent another streak of light landing in front of Chen Beiwu.
Chen Beiwu picked up the jade slip and tactfully took his leave.
Everything in excess is bad. This time, being able to get two valuable King's Elixir pills from the sect leader is already a pretty good gain.
That evening, at Shuiyan Residence.
Chen Beiwu took out the Earth Scale Fruit, the King's Elixir, and the Demon Ape's Essence Blood and placed them in front of the Golden Egg and the Iron Egg.
The golden egg and the iron egg exchanged a glance and swallowed the high-level resources in front of them without hesitation.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The golden egg and the iron egg's aura surged simultaneously, emanating a terrifying demon king's pressure.
Hold your breath and concentrate, I'm here to help you!
Chen Beiwu activated the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique, guiding the Golden Egg and Iron Egg to break through together.
Breakthroughs in minor realms are not as forgiving as breakthroughs in major realms. They are far more forgiving and almost never result in death. At most, they may damage one's foundation, especially for powerful demon kings of the fourth realm.
But Chen Beiwu's thorough preparations were not merely to help the Golden Egg and Iron Egg break through their realms, but to help them awaken more of their bloodline potential.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The grand formation inside the Water Derivation Abode remained operational, while the seclusion sign hanging at the cave entrance was covered in dust and remained motionless.
Meanwhile, at the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's mountain gate.
A handsome figure took a step forward and landed on the jade steps, and an invisible pressure followed.
The newcomer remained calm and took steps forward, traversing the nine thousand jade steps under the watchful gaze of True Monarch Jiangchuan.
"Is he the True Lord Yi Yang, Jiang Xuanyang?"
That's right, be careful not to look directly at him, or you might get hurt!
"What do you mean?"
True Lord Yi Yang cultivates the "Pure Yang Fusion Fire Heaven-Burning Great Dao Scripture." Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can easily be injured by his aura and have the Pure Yang Fusion Fire True Meaning planted within them if they are not careful.
Besides Jiang Chuan Zhenjun, some Yuqing cultivators, having learned in advance that Chunyang Dongtian Zhenjun was leading a team to visit the mountain, gathered outside the mountain gate early, eager to catch a glimpse of the Dongtian expert.
However, due to the limitations of their cultivation levels, many cultivators could only look away from the light and towards the two tall and upright cultivators behind Jiang Xuanyang.
One was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and the other was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Both were top-ranked geniuses in the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, renowned throughout the Immortal Alliance.
The two men carried a barely perceptible arrogance in their eyes. Even when they saw Jiang Chuan Zhenjun, the vice minister of the Yuqing Immortal Sect's academic department, their expressions remained unchanged. Only when they looked at Yi Yang Zhenjun did they show a hint of awe.
"Junior Jiang Xuanyang greets True Lord Jiangchuan."
"I have come to pay my respects to your esteemed clan today on the orders of my master's sect."
"As is customary, the Grand Competition of the Grotto Heavens is about to begin. Only the most outstanding talents can participate in this grand event to discuss and compete."
"I have come here today for two reasons: first, to learn from your sect's profound knowledge; and second, to assess whether this generation of Jade Purity prodigies is qualified to participate in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope that you seniors will forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Xuanyang with a hint of coldness in his gaze.
This person's tone seemed to be one of admiration, but in reality, he was extremely arrogant and didn't take the Yuqing prodigies seriously!
"By the way, if I may ask, where is Chen Beiwu, the Chief of the Jade Purity Sect and True Martial Lord?"
Ignoring the surrounding cultivators, Jiang Xuanyang focused his gaze on Jiang Chuan, showing no concern even as the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The reason he took on the task of knocking on the clan was precisely because of the recently renowned Chen Beiwu.
