Chapter 562 The Birth of Aji
"very good."
True Venerable Zixiao nodded slightly, and a stream of light instantly landed in front of Chen Beiwu, revealing the flawless jade bottle.
The jade bottle has an ancient seal script label with the four large characters "破极玄丹" (Po Ji Xuan Dan).
Chen Beiwu thanked him, accepted the jade bottle with both hands, and then took out the Dao Pearl transformed from the Primordial Northern Emperor True Dragon from his sleeve.
"Sect Leader, this treasure was obtained by your disciple in the Heavenly Evolution Realm. May I ask what its wondrous uses are?" Chen Beiwu humbly inquired.
For some reason, ever since that enlightenment, he has been unable to gain any insights into this treasure with his divine sense. It was as if the primordial Northern Emperor's intent contained within the Dao Pearl had disappeared, while the golden egg reacted extremely violently.
"This is the essence of the original intent of the Primordial Immortal Spirit Object. It can be used as the main material for a fourth-order Heavenly Mystic Treasure or as an auxiliary material for a fifth-order heavy weapon. It can also be given to beasts with compatible attributes to increase their bloodline cultivation or advance their bloodline." True Venerable Zixiao's eyes flickered slightly.
Even though he already knew everything that had happened in the Heavenly Evolution Realm, he was still surprised when he saw the Primordial Northern Emperor's Dao Pearl with his own eyes.
Let alone the Jade Purity Nascent Soul True Monarch, even the Jade Purity Transformation God True Venerable, there are very few powerful beings who can bring forth such immortal spiritual objects.
Chen Beiwu was able to easily summon the primordial immortal's spiritual objects. Could it be that he had already been valued by his master?
But here's the question: if that's really the case, why didn't Master issue a decree to summon Chen Beiwu to the Great Luo Heaven?
Unaware of the sect leader's thoughts, Chen Beiwu's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the golden egg.
Sensing the gaze, the golden egg raised its three dragon heads, its eyes filled with longing.
"I possess an item that, when refined in conjunction with the essence of immortal spiritual objects, has a certain probability of enabling a dragon to undergo a complete transformation, evolving into a Chi dragon, or even a Teng dragon."
Seeing this, True Venerable Zixiao chuckled and, without holding back, sent another stream of light in front of Chen Beiwu with a slight movement of his divine sense.
The use of external objects such as mystical treasures and talismans is prohibited during the Grand Cave Heaven Competition.
If Chen Beiwu wants to defeat the top masters of the five great grotto heavens and win the championship, he not only needs to catch up in terms of cultivation level, but also his cultivation level with the beasts he encounters cannot be too much inferior.
Since True Venerable Zixiao has already given away the Breakthrough Profound Pill, he naturally wouldn't mind making some additional investment.
"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Sect Leader."
Chen Beiwu bowed again and reached out his hands to grab the flowing light.
A scale, entirely black with edges as thin as a cicada's wing, then came into view.
"This is the scale armor of the Fifth Realm Demon Lord [Tianming Tenglong], and the Demon Lord's will contained within it has been cleared by me."
As the sect leader's voice rang out, a vast dragon's might erupted, and Chen Beiwu could even faintly hear the dragon's roar echoing in his ears.
"What a grand gesture!"
The golden dragon's eyes brightened slightly, its pupils instinctively locking onto the scales of the soaring dragon.
The Heavenly Dragon Soaring Dragon is a fifth-tier Creation Beast of the Soaring Dragon species, with a noble bloodline and extremely close to the legendary true dragon.
Even if the sect leader didn't give the essence blood of the Heavenly Dragon, but rather a dragon scale shed during the dragon's cultivation, its value would still be no less than a fifth-tier Yuan Dan from the Immortal Alliance.
The thought that this treasure might end up in his stomach made the golden egg swallow hard.
First, he gave her a Breakthrough Profound Pill, then bestowed upon her a Soaring Dragon Scale Armor. It seems the Sect Leader is truly determined to win this year's Cave Heaven Grand Competition.
Chen Beiwu's mind sharpened, sensing the sect leader's high regard for him.
It should be noted that the Yuqing Sect has its own rules.
As the leader of a sect, Zixiao Zhenzun naturally could not disregard the sect's rules and arbitrarily allocate sect resources to the sect's prodigies.
To put it bluntly, if the Jade Purity Sect Leader could arbitrarily take away the Immortal Sect's precious resources under the pretext of cultivating prodigies, rewarding those without merit and without any restrictions, then the Jade Purity Immortal Sect would not last many generations, and the huge sect would be ruined, or even reduced to a family business.
Therefore, Chen Beiwu understood that if he could win the Grand Cave Heaven Competition, the sect leader's actions today would be considered a testament to his discerning eye and unconventional approach to cultivating the sect's prodigies, a brilliant move that enabled the Jade Purity Immortal Sect to successfully defeat the Five Great Cave Heavens.
Conversely, if he loses in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, then the sect leader's actions today will be seen as entrusting the wrong person, wasting the sect's resources, and forcing a promising genius with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage to challenge the Cave Heaven's chief disciple. It might even give rise to conspiracy theories about the sect's cultivation resources.
"In this Grand Cave Heaven Competition, I will let the five major cave heavens know the prestige of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and live up to the sect leader's expectations!" Chen Beiwu said solemnly.
"Very good. According to past practice, the Grand Competition of the Grotto Heavens will begin in seven years."
True Venerable Zixiao smiled calmly: "Just do your best at that time, there's no need to push yourself too hard."
"Go, and cultivate diligently."
With that, the sect leader waved his sleeve and disappeared, leaving only Chen Beiwu in the Jade Purity Hall.
Chen Beiwu clasped his hands in a respectful bow and then withdrew from the Yuqing Hall.
Without lingering, Chen Beiwu exchanged a few pleasantries with the two protectors, Yu Yue and Qing He, outside the hall before quickly activating his escape light to return to Shuiyan Residence.
After mastering the fundamental immortal techniques of the Primordial Cave, his path to the Four Elements Dao was unobstructed. He only lacked resources. Even if his breakthrough speed increased, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
"Aren't you going to take Tianxin Liquid?"
Golden Egg's eyes showed curiosity, and it transmitted its thoughts telepathically.
Taking the Heavenly Heart Elixir is not without its price; it requires the user to be weak for one month to a year.
Now that the Grand Competition of Cave Heaven has officially begun in just seven years, it is naturally better to take the Heavenly Heart Elixir as soon as possible.
No rush, my goal is to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
With that thought, Chen Beiwu turned his gaze to Aji.
He possesses abundant cultivation resources, enough to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within seven years.
Even without the support of the resources in the Southern Wilderness, such a breakthrough speed is still quite astonishing in the Immortal Alliance. In order to avoid any accidents, Chen Beiwu decided to use the Heavenly Embryo Dew to bring Aji into the world.
With the blessing of the three veins of a Creation Beast at the perfect level of a Demon King, it wouldn't be too conspicuous for him to reach the perfect Nascent Soul stage within seven years.
"Buzz!"
Sensing Chen Beiwu's thoughts, the giant egg shook, already impatient.
"Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Schiller, and Zhiling, protect me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu took out the apprenticeship gift given by Xiao Yan.
As the jade bottle was opened, the Heavenly Embryo Dew transformed into a silver droplet and fell onto Aji's eggshell. An immense and boundless Yin-Yang energy instantly swept through the entire cave, filling Chen Beiwu's room with its heat.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
The next instant, the giant egg trembled, burst into light, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell.
Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Primordial Cave True Fundamental Immortal Technique.
The birth of the Creation Beast is extraordinary, and he needs to concentrate on helping Aji reshape the Creation Beast's body to prevent any accidents.
boom!
boom!
boom!
As time passed, the demon king's oppressive aura permeating the cave grew stronger and stronger, capable of instantly killing Golden Core cultivators and terrifying Nascent Soul True Monarchs. As a result, dark clouds gathered above the Water Dwelling, thunder roared, and the celestial phenomena changed drastically, alarming countless powerful figures from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
What's going on? Is a fourth-realm demon king breaking through to the fifth-realm demon lord?
Impossible! How could a Demon King at the peak of his power possibly violate taboos and rashly break through in the core area of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect?
That's indeed unlikely. According to sect rules, a Fellowship of the Divine Beast needs to apply in advance to break through to the fifth realm of Demon Venerable, and must go to a fifth-tier cave deep within the Jade Purity Mountains to break through, so as not to affect the Jade Purity disciples with low cultivation levels.
Interesting, fellow Daoists, there's no need to guess anymore. This celestial anomaly originated from the Shuiyan Residence on Qingming Peak.
"Qingming Peak, Shuiyan Residence? Isn't that the cave dwelling of Chen Beiwu, the current chief of the Jade Purity Sect and True Martial Lord?"
"Chen Beiwu? If I remember correctly, wasn't he third on the rising star list? How did he suddenly become the sect's top disciple and a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation?"
A Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch who had just finished his seclusion and was contemplating the next moment suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.
Third on the rookie list? Old Zeng, that's from over a hundred years ago.
Another Nascent Soul True Monarch sighed, "Chen Beiwu is now a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, able to stand alongside us."
For a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch, a mere hundred years or so was nothing more than a brief period of seclusion.
Who would have thought that the sect would produce such an unparalleled talent as Chen Beiwu, who had reached the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stages, and was able to catch up with these old guys in such a short time?
Upon hearing this, Old Zeng was slightly taken aback.
A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator can command a perfected demon king? The younger generation these days is truly outrageous!
Meanwhile, Qingming Peak and Shuiyan Residence are located outside.
Yu Zhaohua stood quietly in place, feeling the overwhelming pressure of the universe erupting within the cave.
"roar."
The Flint Dragon roared, its scales bristling, and looked toward the cave with undisguised solemnity.
What's wrong?
Yu Zhaohua frowned slightly and turned her head to look at the coiled dragon of the smelting rock.
The Flint Rock Dragon is unruly and arrogant. Even when facing a fifth-tier elemental beast of its clan, it appears fearless and almost shows signs of fear.
But now, the Flintstone Dragon felt a tremor instinctively upon sensing this aura, and even subconsciously wanted to escape.
The meaning behind this reaction surprised Yu Zhaohua far more than the fact that a fourth-realm demon king had broken through to the perfect realm.
-
"There is—there is a dragon!" the Flint Rock Coiled Dragon said solemnly.
"What kind of dragon? Could it be a fifth-tier soaring dragon?" Yu Zhaohua asked subconsciously.
Depending on their racial attributes, fifth-tier elemental beasts vary in strength. The best among them can crush elemental beasts of the same realm, while the weakest may not even be able to defeat a Heavenly Gang Mystic Beast of the same realm.
Among the fifth-tier elemental beasts, the pure-blooded Tenglong species is undoubtedly the closest to the creation elemental beast.
Although some rare and precious fifth-tier dragon variants are not included in the list of Creation Beasts, their combat power is comparable to or even surpasses that of Creation Beasts, reaching an unbelievable level.
Therefore, in Yu Zhaohua's view, with Chen Beiwu's talent and ability, it was already an extraordinary opportunity for him to be able to contract a Tenglong-type Yuan Beast in the Cangyuan Realm. Even a Nascent Soul True Venerable would be amazed by it.
No, it's not a Teostra, and it's not a dragon either!
The Flint Dragon let out a low roar, its expression growing increasingly solemn.
Yu Zhaohua: "???"
At first, they said there was a dragon, and then they said it wasn't. Has the Flint Rock Dragon been too tired from its cultivation lately, to the point that it can't even speak clearly anymore?
Sensing the thoughts in the mind of the contracted cultivator, the Flint Rock Dragon took a deep breath and spewed out a large amount of magma.
"He is a dragon, yet not a dragon. Like me, he is an anomaly, but unlike me, he is very likely to possess the bloodline of a true dragon!" The Flint Rock Coiled Dragon transmitted its divine sense.
"A descendant of a true dragon?" Yu Zhaohua's pupils contracted: "Are you sure?"
If the fifth-tier Tenglong species is an existence extremely close to the Creation Beast, then the Yuan Beast with the bloodline of a true dragon is the king of dragon species, a terrifying existence comparable to the top twenty or even the top ten on the Creation Beast list.
Flint Dragon: Confirmed, this aura is far beyond what a fifth-tier Tenglong species can match.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhaohua fell silent.
Chen Beiwu is getting stronger and stronger at an increasingly rapid pace, so fast that she no longer knows how to catch up with him.
Of course, if she were willing to abandon her own foundation and future and choose the method of forcing growth, she could definitely surpass Chen Beiwu in cultivation in a short period of time.
But this kind of catching up is meaningless to Yu Zhaohua; instead, she feels it's a form of admitting defeat.
This can't go on any longer.
Yu Zhaohua turned around and led the Suiyan Panlong away from Qingming Peak.
Now that Chen Beiwu's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, she naturally cannot fall behind and needs to find a way to transform the bloodline of the Frost Rock Coiled Dragon.
Otherwise, the chances of the Flint Rock Dragon winning against a fifth-tier elemental beast with true dragon blood would be almost zero.
Qingming Peak, with Shuiyan Residence inside.
Aji was unaware of the attention and admiration emanating from the many powerful figures and geniuses outside. At this moment, it had only one thought in its mind: to hatch and be born.
Only by successfully emerging into the world can it suppress powerful enemies in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, obtain the Heavenly Pill, help Chen Beiwu break through the path to the Divine Transformation Realm, and together pursue the Void Refinement Realm of the Demon Saint in the future.
"Snap, snap!"
At this moment, the eggshell completely shattered, revealing a radiant glow of yin and yang.
Inside Guanghua, Aji sensed signs of disorder in the Yin-Yang power within his body, and the two dragon souls that had been dormant deep within his sea of consciousness showed faint signs of revival.
Clearly, as its bloodline recovered and strengthened, the two true spirits, Qianyang White Dragon and Kunyin Black Dragon, also underwent a certain degree of transformation.
"Don't even think about it!"
With a thought, Aji used the power of the Heavenly Embryo Dew to purify his bloodline and, in turn, draw upon the true spiritual power of the Black and White Dragons.
Although the Heavenly Embryo Dew is a fifth-tier heavy medicine, it is still far inferior to the two true spirits, Qianyang White Dragon and Kunyin Black Dragon, and is not on the same level. It can only help Aji suppress the two dragon souls in his body for a while.
As time passed, the Yin-Yang and Qiankun forces within Aji's body became increasingly violent and uncontrollable.
Still not working!
Under the repulsion of the Yin-Yang and Qiankun forces, Aji's consciousness gradually became blurred.
At the critical moment, a surge of primordial true energy suddenly joined in, causing the power of Yin and Yang to merge together and differentiate into four special forces.
"It's a pity. Even with my activation of the Fate-Controlling Embryo Divine Power and the consumption of two strands of purple energy, I still couldn't enable Aji to perfectly control the power of Yin and Yang at the Demon King level."
Chen Beiwu sighed inwardly, but he wasn't too disappointed.
The Dao of Yin and Yang is too vast. Even the Refining Void Daoist Venerable, who stands at the pinnacle of the Immortal Alliance, may not be able to fully grasp it, let alone him and Aji.
Fortunately, supernatural powers are supernatural powers after all. With his help in activating destiny and consecrating the embryo, Aji has already successfully passed the most difficult hurdle in the transformation of his bloodline.
Furthermore, with the blessing of his auspicious purple aura and the help of heaven, Aji's birth this time is already more than half complete.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Suddenly, above Shuiyanju, the tribulation clouds surged, and the rolling thunder roared in one continuous line, abruptly changing from a dazzling silver-white radiance to a radiance of white, blue, red, and gold.
The next instant, the thunder ceased its roar, and four-colored light tore through the void, forming a huge, dark spatial rift.
Within the crack, four-colored light swirled, forming a gigantic eye that blotted out the sky, radiating an extremely terrifying and majestic divine power.
The giant eye slowly turned and landed on the Shuiyanju cave, ignoring the array restrictions, and remained on Aji, whose posture had changed drastically, with an indifferent gaze.
