Chapter 559 Immortal Spiritual Objects
"arrive."
Not long after, the middle-aged cultivator descended in a beam of light and landed on an unnamed mountain peak.
Chen Beiwu scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and found that the spiritual energy here was sparse and unremarkable. It did not seem to be the location of a sect's small cave heaven at all, but rather more like the entrance.
"The environment of the Heavenly Evolution Realm is unique, containing many immortal techniques and Dao traces. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch cannot stay there for long, otherwise his physical body and soul will not be able to withstand it."
The middle-aged cultivator suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in this secluded mountain range: "Under normal circumstances, sects will not allow Nascent Soul True Monarchs to enter the Heavenly Evolution Realm, but over time, there have been a few exceptions, but the results have not been good."
"Therefore, to avoid any unexpected situations, I would like to give you an extra reminder. After entering the Heavenly Evolution Realm, if you experience symptoms such as headaches, difficulty breathing, difficulty controlling the Heavenly Gang True Essence, or unexplained tremors in your Golden Core or Nascent Soul, you need to leave the Heavenly Evolution Realm immediately, otherwise your foundation may be damaged."
At this point, the middle-aged cultivator looked at Chen Beiwu: "Apart from that, the Heavenly Evolution Realm doesn't have many rules or restrictions, do you understand?"
Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Senior, do you mean that if I can persevere, I can cultivate for as long as I want within the Heavenly Evolution Realm?"
"That's right."
The middle-aged cultivator's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly shook his head inwardly.
Every Nascent Soul True Monarch who has not yet entered the Heavenly Evolution Realm has the same naive idea as Chen Beiwu, wanting to cultivate in the Small Cave Heaven for a longer period of time, but not a single True Monarch prodigy can persist for ten days.
Even if Chen Beiwu possesses unparalleled talent and aptitude, with the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator and break the record for the time it takes for a Jade Purity True Monarch to enter the Heavenly Evolution Realm, it is unlikely that he could last for half a month.
"Senior, if I may ask, how does one seek and comprehend the Dao traces upon entering the Heavenly Evolution Realm?" Chen Beiwu humbly inquired.
"There's no need to deliberately search for it; the Tao is all around you. Just go with the flow. Forcing things will only make them worse."
After giving a word of advice, the middle-aged cultivator took out a jade slip from his sleeve.
"Buzz!"
The jade slip shone brightly, and a special spatial fluctuation spread out, tearing open the mountain wall not far away and revealing a spatial passage.
"Go in. Remember to hold your breath and concentrate, and keep your inner energy circulating at all times to avoid injury." The middle-aged cultivator gestured forward.
Seeing the senior guide's repeated reminders, Chen Beiwu dared not be careless. He activated his true energy in advance and stepped into the spatial passage.
Prodigies cannot be cultivated quickly, let alone those who cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment. Sending this generation's top scholar into the Heavenly Evolution Realm is merely forcing growth and a waste of time!
The middle-aged cultivator muttered something to himself, then closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in the void to cultivate, and prepared to open the spatial passage at any time to bring Chen Beiwu out of the Heavenly Evolution Realm.
As the world spun around him, Chen Beiwu felt a wave of discomfort in his head.
He hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time since he formed his Golden Core and became a True Monarch.
Chen Beiwu suppressed the discomfort in his brain, gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, but could hardly see the surrounding scenery.
The reason is simple: in the Immortal Alliance and the Southern Wilderness, his divine sense can easily cover an area of tens of thousands of feet, and he can even see clearly the ants moving under the cover of withered leaves.
At this moment, within the Heavenly Evolution Realm, Chen Beiwu's divine sense was severely suppressed, unable to extend even a foot outside his body, far inferior to even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Immortal Alliance.
Realizing that his invincible divine sense had failed, Chen Beiwu activated his Heavenly Eye Profound Power.
boom!
In an instant, the world before Chen Beiwu's eyes changed drastically, with countless chaotic mists appearing.
Within the fog, a terrifying aura emanates, yet the form of a colossal beast is obscured as it hunts.
-
The moment Chen Beiwu saw the mist, the terrifying behemoth within it also sensed his presence and let out an excited roar.
"wrong!"
Chen Beiwu sensed something was wrong and immediately shut down his Heavenly Eye Mystic Connection, causing the giant beast in the mist to disappear.
But the next moment, Chen Beiwu's discomfort in his brain became more and more severe, and he vaguely felt a stinging pain.
If you experience symptoms such as headache, difficulty breathing, inability to control the Heavenly Gang True Essence, or unexplained tremors in your Golden Core or Nascent Soul, you must immediately leave the Heavenly Evolution Realm, otherwise your foundation may be damaged!
Recalling the middle-aged cultivator's words, Chen Beiwu took a deep breath and stopped trying to extend his divine sense and activate his profound understanding to observe the surrounding scenery. Instead, he focused on protecting himself with his primordial true qi.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Beiwu's mental discomfort gradually lessened until it was almost negligible.
After a long while, Chen Beiwu's vision finally cleared, and he found himself in a primeval forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees with thick trunks, and under his feet was a pile of withered yellow leaves.
"That's interesting!" Chen Beiwu's expression turned serious.
There was no wind in the forest, but a faint purple mist permeated the air.
Benefiting from the lesson learned from just opening the Heavenly Eye, Chen Beiwu did not withdraw the Primordial True Qi to breathe, but instead carefully felt the collision between the Primordial True Qi and the surrounding mist.
As a result, Chen Beiwu discovered that the primordial true qi circulating on the surface of his body was being slowly eroded by this world.
"No wonder the Heavenly Evolution Realm doesn't usually allow Nascent Soul True Monarchs from sects to enter!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
Even he found it so difficult to enter this realm; if it were an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they probably wouldn't even last three days.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Beiwu's spirit ring flashed and summoned Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and Aji.
The Heavenly Dipper Beast possesses a powerful bloodline that resonates with heaven and earth, and it may be able to detect immortal techniques and Dao traces that he cannot perceive.
"This place is so strange, it's numb and itchy, but it feels kind of comfortable." Golden Egg squinted its three dragon eyes contentedly.
Upon hearing this, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling all showed surprise in their eyes.
This place is so dense with spiritual energy that it's hard to circulate or absorb. Moreover, the spiritual energy contains a special kind of artistic conception that makes them feel extremely uncomfortable, but the golden egg feels comfortable.
"Buzz!"
Aji swayed his body, radiating excitement, and agreed with the golden egg's statement.
This place is really nice!
Even if it just stays still, its efficiency in accumulating the Qi of Wuji and the Qi of Yin and Yang increases exponentially.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.
Judging from the reactions of the Golden Eggs, the Tongcan Beasts are far more adapted to the Heavenly Evolution Realm than the Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but it still depends on whether their bloodlines are compatible.
Those with compatible bloodlines can gain significant benefits even while sitting still, while those without will feel no different from cultivators in the Immortal Alliance, experiencing extreme discomfort.
"Lead the way. Golden Egg, whichever direction you think looks good, go that way," Chen Beiwu said.
Finding traces of immortal techniques is no easy task.
Considering the existence of the Purple Canopy, Chen Beiwu decided to gamble on fate and leave the direction of their journey to the Golden Egg.
"roar!"
The golden egg nodded confidently and rode the clouds to lead the way.
Some purple mist drifted through the forest, as if it were alive.
Chen Beiwu followed the golden egg through the jungle for half an hour, and for a moment he felt as if he had returned to his Qi cultivation days.
The only thing that Chen Beiwu found lacking was that he couldn't find the immortal techniques and traces of cultivation that the great immortal cultivators of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect had imprinted on the Heavenly Evolution Realm, as the sect leader had mentioned.
"That shouldn't be the case. With my current fortune and status, I shouldn't be unable to find even a trace of immortal techniques!"
Chen Beiwu's spirit platform bell trembled, instantly calming his mind as he continued forward.
Another half hour passed, and Chen Beiwu casually broke through the vines blocking his way, revealing a lake not far away.
That lake was quite strange; although the water rippled, it did not reflect the sky or the shadows of the trees.
"Woof!" (Someone's there!)
Even without Tie Dan's reminder, Chen Beiwu had already seen two cultivators sitting on the edge of the lake using his Nine Breaths Breath Control Technique.
The cultivator on the left, with white hair and wearing a dark Taoist robe, was squatting on a blue stone.
Upon closer inspection, Schiller discovered that the creature had its eyes closed, its right foot submerged in the water, its toes gripping a top-grade spirit stone, and its breathing was deep and rhythmic, indicating that it was asleep.
"Huh?" (Is he fishing or sleeping?)
Schiller blinked, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Zhiling's eyes flickered as she looked to the other side.
On the right side of the lake stood a handsome young monk, dressed in a gray-white Taoist robe stained with a little mud, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
The fishing rod wasn't hooked; instead, it had a gourd of wine attached to it, floating on the lake and drifting with the waves. It didn't look like fishing; it looked more like pouring wine to feed the fish.
"Oh, a new person has arrived."
The young cultivator looked up at Chen Beiwu, his gaze lingering almost imperceptibly on Aji.
"Keep your voice down, or you'll scare my fish away, and you won't be able to afford to pay for it."
The white-haired cultivator closed his eyes and rebuked the young man, completely unconcerned about Chen Beiwu's arrival.
However, Chen Beiwu dared not be careless, and looked at the two cultivators with a solemn expression.
The reason is simple: although the young cultivator's aura appears weak, only at the Golden Core level, the swirling purple energy flowing around him is constantly gathering, and then condensing behind him into a powerful and highly spiritual dragon of fortune.
Another white-haired cultivator was even more extravagant. He only displayed the Qi Refining level of cultivation, but his body was surrounded by auspicious purple clouds that were neither gold nor rosy, making him appear incredibly noble.
Possessing such immense fortune, these two beings are most likely Nascent Soul cultivators from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, or even elusive, legendary figures in the cultivation world!
With this in mind, Chen Beiwu walked to the lakeside and bowed to the two men.
"Junior Chen Beiwu greets the two seniors."
Upon hearing this, the white-haired cultivator opened his eyes, glanced at Chen Beiwu as a greeting, and then closed his eyes again without saying a word.
The young cultivator, however, was quite enthusiastic, smiling at Chen Beiwu: "No need for formalities. All cultivators who enter the Heavenly Evolution Realm are seekers of the Dao, and there is no distinction between juniors and seniors."
"If you don't mind, you can just call me Old Wang."
At this point, the white-haired cultivator from the old dynasty raised his head slightly to indicate, "As for that old man, his surname is Gong. He has a reclusive personality and never cares about common names. You can call him Old Immortal or Old Thief, it doesn't matter."
"Senior Wang, Senior Gong, if I may ask, what is this place?" Chen Beiwu asked respectfully, not taking it seriously.
"Can't you see?" Senior Wang lifted his fishing rod. "We're bored, so we're having a fishing contest. Want to join us?"
Hearing this, Chen Beiwu remained expressionless and glanced at the lake.
The lake water was so clear that you couldn't see a single fish.
"Woof." (There are no living beings with sinful karma in the lake.)
Iron Egg reminded him with his divine sense.
"No, senior, I entered this realm to search for traces of immortal techniques," Chen Beiwu said, revealing his purpose.
"That's normal. Of the cultivators who enter the Heavenly Evolution Realm, eight out of ten are searching for traces of immortal techniques, and the other two are searching for the true meaning of immortal techniques left behind by the Refining Void Dao Venerable."
Senior Wang didn't mind and patted the blue stone beside him: "Sit down. The immortal techniques and traces you are looking for exist deep within this lake."
Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "Senior, could the fish you caught be traces of immortal techniques?"
"No, no, what we are fishing for are spiritual creatures transformed from the true essence of immortal magic," Senior Gong suddenly corrected.
"The old thief is right. Immortal Dao Marks are the marks left by great immortal cultivators who comprehend immortal techniques and understand the Dao of Heaven and Earth. They are quite common in the Tianyan Yuan Realm, but the true meaning of immortal techniques is different."
Senior Wang patiently explained, "If the traces of immortal techniques are the marks of enlightenment achieved by great immortal cultivators, then the true meaning of immortal techniques is the spirit of enlightenment achieved by the Dao Venerable of Refining Emptiness."
"To put it bluntly, compared to the Dao traces of immortal techniques, the true meaning of immortal techniques is not a living thing, but it has a spirit; it is not a living being, but it can roam freely; under the nurturing of the Dao rhyme of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, it can give birth to the forms of all things."
For example, there are many spiritual creatures such as fish swimming in the water, birds flying in the sky, wild deer in the forest, and plants and trees on the mountain.
"But the essence of immortality and spiritual objects transcends the traces of immortal techniques and are far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."
"However, if you'd like to try your luck, we can go fishing together," Senior Wang invited.
"Huh?" (How about giving it a try?)
Schiller looked at Chen Beiwu, somewhat tempted.
The celestial artifact was left behind by the Daoist Master of Refining Emptiness, and its prestige far surpasses that of cultivation giants; it sounds incredibly powerful.
It would be a real shame to miss it!
Sensing Schiller's thoughts, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow slightly.
The little guy really had a lot of confidence in him.
Even a Nascent Soul True Venerable might not be able to catch a celestial treasure, yet Schiller actually expects him to catch one. That's a bit too optimistic!
"Huh?" (What if it works?)
Golden Egg's three dragon eyes looked at Chen Beiwu, its gaze eager and ready to try.
It remembered that its master used to be a fishing expert streamer in the Immortal Alliance, with superb skills, so it was not impossible for him to catch immortal spirits.
Chen Beiwu: "————"
If he could stay in the Heavenly Evolution Realm without being restricted by time, he wouldn't mind giving it a try.
Even if he fails to catch any celestial treasures in the end, he can still ask the two seniors for advice on how to comprehend the celestial techniques and Dao traces.
However, this world is different from the Immortal Alliance. The longer Chen Beiwu stayed, the stronger the suppression he felt in his soul and body.
If things continue like this, with his current cultivation level, he can only stay in the Heavenly Evolution Realm for a maximum of twenty days.
Woof.
Tie Dan was the most rational, believing that fishing for immortal treasures here would likely be a waste of time and effort. He thought it would be better to first find immortal techniques and Dao traces to comprehend, and then try to find immortal treasures with a backup plan.
The suggestion is just that—a suggestion. It unconditionally supports all of Chen Beiwu's decisions.
"Eek!" (Maybe we should just forget about it!)
Zhiling knew how precious this opportunity was and didn't want Chen Beiwu to waste it.
Opinion 2: A tie!
Chen Beiwu's heart stirred slightly, and he looked at Aji.
"Buzz." The giant egg shook.
Aji said he could try it for a day.
If there is no result after a day, then it is not too late to give up on the immortal essence and spiritual objects and seek other immortal methods and traces.
"Young man, don't listen to that old bastard's nonsense. To catch a celestial creature, you need to have enough comprehension of celestial techniques to attract it to approach you. Otherwise, you're just wasting your time," Senior Gong said calmly.
He only cares about spiritual practice and doesn't meddle in other people's business.
If it weren't for the old bastard's love of watching the fun and his enjoyment of seeing the younger generation suffer setbacks, even trying to fool Chen Beiwu, the current chief of Yuqing, he wouldn't have bothered to say a word of advice.
