Chapter 561 Beidi Dao Edict
But this surprise came quickly and went quickly. Wang Chongyan quickly suppressed his thoughts and showed a calm smile.
if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.
Even if a primordial immortal spirit were to emerge, it wouldn't be enough to arouse greed in him and cause him to attack a Nascent Soul junior.
"The younger generation is truly formidable!"
You old codger, all our five hundred years of arduous cultivation are no match for the efforts of a junior in just two days.
Wang Chongyan even had the inclination to use telepathy to tease Gong Wuxian.
Immortal techniques and Dao traces are divided into upper and lower levels, and naturally, immortal intent and spiritual objects also have fundamental differences.
From ancient times to the present, most of those from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect who entered the Heavenly Evolution Realm to comprehend the Dao could only activate immortal techniques and traces; less than one or two out of ten could activate immortal intent.
Wang Chongyan and Gong Wuxian are the former; they can only draw upon immortal techniques and Dao traces to comprehend them, and so far they have not been able to manifest immortal intent and spiritual objects.
Of course, this does not mean that the two of them are not highly skilled in cultivation.
On the contrary, Wang Chongyan and Gong Wuxian are extremely powerful, only one step away from becoming cultivation giants. They are even able to imprint their own fundamental immortal techniques and Dao traces within the Heavenly Evolution Realm, leaving them for later generations to comprehend.
The reason they failed to attract the divine spirits and magical objects was threefold: first, they lacked the necessary affinity; second, their cultivation philosophies were not compatible; and third, they failed to cultivate their fundamental immortal techniques to the initial stage of transformation.
The Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon, when placed among celestial artifacts, is also considered a top-tier existence.
As far as Wang Chongyan knew, the last person to trigger the Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon in the Tianyan Yuan Realm was a renowned immortal cultivator from the Yuqing Immortal Sect.
His cultivation has now reached the half-step Void Refinement stage, and he has also cultivated his fundamental immortal technique to the initial stage of transformation, comprehending a unique Great Dao of his own.
"What if it's not as good as it is?"
Gong Wuxian raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Chongyan: "Old bastard, if you're not convinced, you can try to reach the ultimate level of sublimation. Maybe you can attract a celestial spirit comparable to the Northern Emperor True Dragon."
Wang Chongyan didn't take it seriously, and looked at Chen Beiwu with great interest: Do you think this kid can leap two realms and enter the Nascent Soul stage within fifty years after he finishes comprehending the Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon?
"It's highly unlikely." Gong Wuxian said calmly.
A Nascent Soul True Lord needs to attain enlightenment through the Four Elements and complete the corresponding enlightenment rituals during their cultivation.
If Chen Beiwu comprehends enough to master the fundamental immortal techniques of the Primordial Cave, his future attainment of the Nascent Soul stage will almost certainly be a natural progression, requiring little effort.
The reason is simple: for Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance, cultivation realms are difficult to improve, but True Qi and magical power are the easiest to enhance.
However, Chen Beiwu was not born into the Daoist Immortal Clan, and he always lacked some foundation. Even if he reached a certain level, he would still need to expend a lot of resources and perform rituals step by step to seek truth before he could advance steadily.
In Gong Wuxian's view, after this enlightenment, Chen Beiwu's cultivation will most likely reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage within twenty years.
In the future, it won't take a hundred years. Once Chen Beiwu has replenished his resources and digested the foundation brought by his mastery of immortal techniques, he should be able to break records and become the youngest Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch in the history of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
boom!
boom!
boom!
At the same time, as Chen Beiwu faced off against the Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon, he felt the world shift and countless profound and obscure scriptures surged into his mind.
"Roar!" Woof! "Hah!" "Eek!" "Buzz!"
Noticing Chen Beiwu's current condition, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji dared not neglect their duties and all activated the "Primordial Cave True Root Immortal Technique" to assist him.
As the Guardian Bell rang, Chen Beiwu's spiritual platform cleared, all thoughts vanished from his sea of consciousness, and a primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon Void slowly appeared—
film.
As the illusory image of the true dragon dissipated, Chen Beiwu's nascent soul trembled, and his mind was swept into a void without beginning or end, where he began to comprehend the primordial Dao, which is neither born nor dies and can transcend countless eons without falling.
What is the Tao?
A voice, seemingly old yet young, faint yet distinct, echoed in Chen Beiwu's mind.
"The Tao is the law of heaven and earth; it neither arises nor ceases, neither increases nor decreases."
As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, the voice sighed softly, as if dissatisfied with his answer.
In the next instant, Chen Beiwu's spiritual platform and sea of consciousness suddenly changed, manifesting boundless primordial Daoist charm.
These Daoist principles converged wildly, slowly outlining a series of wondrous scenes of heaven and earth.
Scene 1: A glimmer of light is hidden in the void, containing the meaning of the birth and growth of all things.
Scene 2: The spiritual light is divided into yin and yang, one black and one white, connected end to end, like an endless ring.
The third scene: Yin and Yang give rise to change, and the three true dragons of the three phases are coiled at the extreme of the sky, guarding the heavenly gate.
The fourth scene: The four symbols transform into the eight trigrams, intertwining and evolving into the five elements, with vines reaching to the sky, endlessly regenerating, their branches and leaves covering all directions.
Fifth Scene: All things return to one day. When the great sun rises, all things are born; when it sets, all things die. Life and death turn to ashes, and from the ashes, the great sun and divine dog reappear.
Scene 6: The ten directions of the world are destroyed, and endless heaven and earth are reborn. A fox tail that blots out the sky can be vaguely seen.
These six wondrous scenes of heaven and earth contained no trace of primordial Daoist principles, yet they allowed Chen Beiwu to vaguely see the cultivation paths of himself, Aji, Jindan, Xuele, Tiedan, and Zhiling.
At this moment, the six scenes merged, and Chen Beiwu's Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique, which he had cultivated to a minor level, advanced further, entering the realm of major mastery.
A mysterious and profound sense of divine power surged into Chen Beiwu's mind.
[Divine Power]: Northern Emperor's Edict of Ten Thousand Spirits [Attribute]: Primordial [Rank]: Fifth-Order Creation Primordial Technique (Primordial Venerable Position, Sixth-Order Daoist Prototype)
[Introduction]: Based on the Primordial Beginning and guided by the Northern Emperor, this technique condenses and seals the Dao, capable of summoning the illusory image of the Primordial Beginning and the Northern Emperor's true dragon to bestow decrees upon all spirits. Within these decrees, only the Primordial Beginning's immortal methods can remain; all others are like a precious mirror covered in dust, their power extinguished.
So that's how it is! By cultivating the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Technique to its highest level, one can master such immortal techniques and supernatural powers!
Feeling the effects of the Northern Emperor's Edict of Ten Thousand Spirits, Chen Beiwu's mind trembled slightly.
Once this supernatural power is unleashed, only the Primordial One can survive; all others will perish. Even the power of the Dao Fruit cannot manifest its might.
In this way, he would no longer need to be wary of the Dao Fruit power possessed by the chief of the cave heavens during the cave heaven competition.
Unfortunately, the more powerful the supernatural ability, the higher the price that needs to be paid to use it.
With his current cultivation level, he could probably only sustain the Northern Emperor's Myriad Spirits Edict for a second.
Fortunately, a second is neither a long nor a short time, but in a battle at the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, it is enough to determine the winner, or even life and death.
No wonder the sect leader dared to assert that anyone who had mastered the Primordial Immortal Techniques could defeat the chief disciples of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens!
outside world.
Under the watchful eyes of Wang Chongyan and Gong Wuxian, the Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon closed its dragon eyes, its whole body radiating a magnificent light, and transformed into a bead that was neither gold nor white, which landed in Chen Beiwu's palm.
The next second, Chen Beiwu slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light appearing in them.
"It seems to have succeeded!" Wang Chongyan thought to himself.
Chen Beiwu's talent was already unparalleled, and with the help of immortal spirits and magical objects, it was naturally impossible for anything unexpected to happen to him.
Gong Wuxian's eyes flickered as he looked at the celestial artifact in Chen Beiwu's palm.
Its surface is as smooth and warm as jade, with fine, shallow Dao patterns flowing across it, giving it a rather mystical appearance; it can be called a Dao Bead.
Just then, Chen Beiwu raised his hand and put the Dao Pearl into his sleeve, then turned to look at the lakeside.
Where are they?
Chen Beiwu paused, realizing that Senior Wang and Senior Gong had vanished without a trace, having quietly left sometime earlier.
It's a pity, he wanted to ask the two seniors how to use this celestial artifact.
"Gulp." The sound of swallowing saliva rang out.
Chen Beiwu turned his head and saw the three dragon heads on the golden egg displaying fawning smiles.
Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu took out the Dao Bead from his sleeve and moved it slightly. He noticed that the Golden Egg Dragon Eyes' gaze shifted accordingly, filled with longing.
"Can this thing be eaten?" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
The golden egg nodded repeatedly.
Its instincts, emanating from its bloodline, told it that this thing was incredibly nourishing and could greatly enhance its cultivation, further awakening its bloodline.
Chen Beiwu's heart stirred, and he looked at Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling and A Ji. He found that the four little guys had curious eyes but no desire, except for Jin Dan.
After a moment's hesitation, to be on the safe side, Chen Beiwu did not hand the immortal spiritual object over to the golden egg to devour, but instead activated the sect leader's token.
On the other side, noticing the unusual movement of the token, the middle-aged cultivator opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.
"Strange, so fast?"
"That shouldn't be the case. With the cultivation level of the current Jade Purity Chief, he should be able to last at least ten days. How could he not even last three days!" The middle-aged cultivator murmured.
He wasn't unaware of the possibility that Chen Beiwu might withdraw early, but three days was too short a time; even a Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn't lose confidence in that situation.
"Buzz!"
Without time to think, the middle-aged cultivator activated the jade slip, tearing open a spatial passage in the mountain wall.
The middle-aged cultivator's heart tightened the moment Chen Beiwu appeared.
Something is wrong!
In just three days, Chen Beiwu's temperament changed slightly, and his eyes showed an indescribable confidence, making him far more imposing than before.
"Thank you for your trouble." Chen Beiwu clasped his hands in a salute.
The middle-aged cultivator remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You've succeeded?"
Chen Beiwu: "I've gained some insights."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator was shocked. He clenched his fist behind his back, his knuckles turning slightly white.
Chen Beiwu didn't say much, and urged his escape light to rush to the Jade Purity Palace.
As Chen Beiwu's figure disappeared, the middle-aged cultivator's shock gradually turned into relief.
The emergence of such a prodigy is perhaps a blessing for the sect.
It seems that the Jade Purity Immortal Sect will achieve far greater results than in the past in this Cave Heaven Competition.
Yuqing Peak, Yuqing Hall.
"No need for formalities, please come in."
As a calm voice sounded, the palace doors opened.
Chen Beiwu bowed slightly and stepped into the hall under the watchful eyes of the two Xuandu Protectors.
"Their temperament is becoming more and more similar!" Guardian Jade Moon murmured.
She had previously admired Chen Beiwu, but the latter was more appealing, standing out among countless others and extremely likable.
But now, she could vaguely sense a trace of that person's aura in Chen Beiwu.
Stop talking nonsense!
The Azure Crane Protector frowned and used his divine sense to stop Jade Moon.
A mere Nascent Soul True Monarch is not worthy of being compared to that being; even mentioning him would be disrespectful.
"Qinghe, it's because you value hierarchy too much that you've remained at the half-step demon saint level." Yu Yue said in her divine sense.
"Aren't you also stuck at the half-step demon saint level?" Qinghe said irritably.
"That's different." Yu Yue pouted: "Even half-step demon saints have varying strengths; you're no match for me."
Okay, I know you're strong.
At this point, Qinghe's expression turned serious, and he reminded him, "Give up that unreliable idea in your heart as soon as possible. With your cultivation level, Chen Beiwu will definitely not be able to withstand it, and it will only delay your cultivation."
Chen Beiwu was unaware of the spiritual conversation between the two protectors. Upon entering the main hall, he saw the calm-looking sect leader.
"Indeed, once you have mastered the Primordial Immortal Techniques, you can challenge the chief of the cave heavens and demonstrate the might of my Jade Purity Sect, but you must not be careless."
"The situation has changed. In preparation for this year's Cave Heaven Grand Competition, the chief disciples of the five major Cave Heavens have all consumed Cave Heaven treasures and achieved the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage," said True Venerable Zixiao.
"Sect Leader, please rest assured, for the honor of the sect, I will do my utmost to win first place in this Cave Heaven Competition!" Chen Beiwu said solemnly.
"The difference between realms is like heaven and earth. Even if you have mastered the Primordial Immortal Techniques, you will find it difficult to overcome this gap."
True Venerable Zixiao shook his head, his gaze turning to Chen Beiwu: "Would you like to experience the power of a Nascent Soul Peak True Monarch at the pinnacle of their cultivation, wielding the power of their Dao Fruit?"
"This disciple is willing to give it a try."
As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, an invisible and intangible yet omnipresent immense pressure swept across the entire Jade Purity Hall.
"Tick-tock!"
"Tick-tock!"
"Tick-tock!"
Chen Beiwu's body stiffened, and cold sweat dripped from his temples.
Even though the Primordial True Essence within him was still circulating and his divine sense was still usable, he could not struggle at all under this pressure. He could not even use the Northern Emperor's Myriad Spirits Edict Divine Power and could only offer his neck for slaughter.
"Admittedly, the power of the Dao Fruit carried by the chief of the cave is negligible. However, due to your cultivation level, even if you have mastered the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Techniques, the immortal techniques and supernatural abilities you have comprehended are only in their rudimentary form."
"Once a gap appears in cultivation level, even if you possess immortal techniques and supernatural powers to offset the power of the Dao Fruit, it will be difficult to defeat the chief disciples of the five great grotto heavens across different realms," said True Venerable Zixiao calmly.
Chen Beiwu did not give up resisting, and the Lingtai Shouyi Bell trembled slightly.
Without obstacles, there is no concealment; without concealment, the truth can be seen!
With the power of the Guardian Bell amplified, Chen Beiwu's nascent soul formed hand seals, and the Primordial True Essence within his body began to erupt.
"Excellent! You have cultivated the Tai Xuan Shou Yi technique to its peak!"
Zixiao Zhenzun let out a soft exclamation, his eyes revealing an appreciative look: "With the Yuanshi Immortal Techniques perfected, perhaps you can make history and represent Yuqing to win the championship in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, the oppressive atmosphere in the hall dissipated.
Chen Beiwu felt lighter and regained control over the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, so that he was no longer unable to use even the Mustard Spirit Ring.
"Now that your cultivation level is sufficient and you have already traversed the path to the Nascent Soul stage, a few rare and precious treasures cannot shake your solid foundation. I do have an idea," said True Venerable Zixiao.
"Please speak, Sect Leader."
"I possess an item called the Breaking Limit Profound Pill. When a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator takes it, it can break through the barrier of their realm, forcibly achieve the Three Elements Dao, and enter the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. However, afterwards, it requires time to refine one's true essence and temper one's divine sense in order to remove the pill's poison and restore one's foundation."
"With your current foundation, you can perfectly absorb the medicinal power of the Breaking Limit Profound Pill without causing irreversible damage to your Nascent Soul."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.
The Breaking Limit Profound Pill is very famous in the Immortal Alliance. It is a fourth-grade supreme profound pill, and he had heard of it long ago.
This pill is extremely valuable; it can even help Nascent Soul cultivators at the late stage break through their cultivation level, though the sect leader hasn't mentioned it much.
In this way, if we also consider the Heavenly Heart Liquid he obtained in the Southern Wilderness, wouldn't he be able to try to advance two realms in one go, prove the Dao of the Four Elements in one fell swoop, and reach the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage?
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu agreed without hesitation: "This disciple is willing."
