Chapter 576 The Inherited Item
"Eek?"
""
Zhiling's eyes flickered slightly, quite surprised.
Facing a late-stage demon king, the opponent made no probing moves. Could it be that it planned to retreat completely?
However, this is just right, as it allows him to use this opportunity to unleash his profound abilities and test the limits of his combat power.
"please."
Che Zhengyuan waved his sleeve and elegantly gestured, as if he would let Chen Beiwu use his mystical powers.
Chen Beiwu remained calm, while Zhiling flashed, leaving an afterimage in place, before activating the Great Rift Void Claw. The claw moved silently, tearing through space, and struck the silver-white barrier surrounding Che Zhengyuan.
boom!
The light shield remained motionless, but an irresistible spatial force suddenly erupted and backlashed, causing Zhiling's right claw to go numb. Her body retreated even faster, drawing a purple arc in the void.
Only when the seven purple lights shone did Zhiling manage to stop herself, leaving a long, narrow ravine about a hundred feet long on the dueling platform.
"He really is a late-stage fourth-realm demon king!"
Upon seeing this, the seriousness in Che Zhengyuan's eyes dissipated considerably, but he did not relax his vigilance.
Compared to the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, Chen Beiwu is the most difficult opponent to deal with!
"Eek."
Zhiling glanced at Chen Beiwu and shook her head slightly.
Even the Great Rift Void Claw couldn't penetrate this flawless defense in the slightest. Even when it unleashed the full power of the Great Freedom Void Domain, the outcome was the same; it simply couldn't find any opening.
No problem, since there are no flaws, we'll use force to overcome skill.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Beiwu decided to use Zhiling as a base to unleash the Primordial True Beast.
This immortal technique, Xuan Tong, possesses two great powers: the Dharma Form Appears to the Divine and the Primordial True Beast Unites with the True. Only when these two powers are perfectly combined can the Primordial True Beast Xuan Tong unleash its most primal and powerful strength.
But as Chen Beiwu commented on Zhu Wufa Xiangtiandi yesterday.
While the Primordial True Beast Xuan Tong is indeed powerful, if it cannot be perfectly controlled and one can only amplify the cultivation, bloodline, and posture of the fellow beasts, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages, and it will be easy to expose more flaws in the process of fighting.
This is why Chen Beiwu used to activate the Primordial True Beast mostly by employing the Dharma Aspect of Divine Power, using his own Primordial Dharma Aspect to amplify the cultivation of the beast, allowing Tie Dan to possess a cultivation level that could overwhelm Yi Yang Zhenjun, rather than pushing this profound power to its limit and making it difficult to control.
Now that Chen Beiwu has mastered the Primordial Fundamental Immortal Techniques and comprehended the Northern Emperor's Edict, he naturally no longer has the concerns he once did.
The only thing that troubled him was that Zhiling's element was Earth, and she possessed all five elements, with Earth as her primary element.
Whether it's the Golden Egg, the Iron Egg, the Schiller, or Aji, they can all merge with the Primordial One, resonate with each other's bloodlines, and enter an unprecedented state.
"roar!"
The golden egg raised its three dragon heads, its eyes eager to try.
"Eek."
Zhiling nodded, feeling that the combination of the power of the three phases and the five elements of the void had great potential and was worth a try.
Seeing that the two little ones had reached an agreement, Chen Beiwu did not hesitate to activate the Primordial True Beast.
boom!
boom!
boom!
As Chen Beiwu formed hand seals, a Primordial Dharma Image appeared behind him. Zhiling and Jindan's bodies trembled simultaneously, and the same illusory image of the Dharma Image slowly appeared deep in their pupils.
Something's not right!
Seeing the changes in the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox and the Three-Phase Mysterious Dragon, Che Zhengyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He felt that he could not let things continue.
However, he had already set up the Three Enclosures Fixed Void Realm in advance, and unless he used the power of the Jade Universe Dao Fruit, which was his trump card, he would not be able to activate the Killing Profound Power to suppress the strange changes of the two beasts.
In the instant that Che Zhengyuan's thoughts turned, the vast purple light and the three-phase radiance intertwined and merged. The first thing to blur and disappear was the figure of the three-phase Xuan Chi, followed by the seven-tailed purple fox with its head raised.
"boom!"
As the two beasts completely disappeared, a faint, flickering cocoon of light slowly came into view of Che Zhengyuan and his fellow beasts.
"What is this?"
Before Che Zhengyuan could think further, the shimmering cocoon trembled slightly, unleashing a terrifying aura that made the three great celestial beasts—the Nine-Colored Deer, the Void Ray, and the Jade Mystic Dragon—tremble with fear.
"Is it a fifth-tier elemental beast, a perfected demon king?"
Or is it a primordial beast of creation, or an ultimate demon king?
Sensing the suppression of life essence contained within this aura, Che Zhengyuan's pupils contracted, revealing an extremely solemn expression.
The next instant, the cocoon of light cracked open, revealing a long, slender fox claw.
Immediately, a fourth-realm demon king, who had never appeared in the ancient records of the Immortal Alliance, came into the sight of the cultivators.
Its snout is pointed and slightly upturned, its eyes are one purple and one gold, and the downy hair on the tips of its ears gleams with a three-dimensional light, corresponding to the three pairs of coral dragon horns on its forehead.
Its body is as elegant as a fox, only about ten feet long, with snow-purple fur all over its body. Its limbs and shoulders are covered with fine dragon scales, exuding a strong dragon aura.
However, what truly shook Che Zhengyuan was the eight fox tails swaying slightly behind the demon king.
These fox tails varied in length, with the longest in the middle and gradually shortening towards the sides, yet they shimmered with rainbow aurora and contained spatial power that even the chief of the Jade Universe Cave Heaven found incomprehensible.
It's no exaggeration to say that this level of void power is beyond what a Heavenly Divine Beast can bear, making Che Zhengyuan immediately think of the Immortal Alliance's renowned Creation Beast, the Eight-Tailed Void Fox.
It should be known that the Eight-Tailed Void Fox, which looks down upon the heavens and earth, is a rare and extraordinary creature, and a terrifying existence ranked high on the Immortal Alliance's list of Creation Beasts, far beyond the reach of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Even though the unprecedented eight-tailed fox king before him was unlikely to be among the Creation Beasts, Che Zhengyuan dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately used the power of the Jade Universe Dao Fruit to enhance the Immortal Technique of Profound Understanding of the Three Realms and Stabilizing the Void.
Zhiling, on the other hand, stood in the void, her eyes slightly closed, carefully sensing the continuous and immense power within her body.
"Break it!"
Zhiling unleashed the Great Freedom Void Domain, merging her body with the void, and activated the Sealing Void Reversal Profound Power, gently slapping Che Zhengyuan with her claw.
With the blessing of the Primordial True Beast, Zhi Ling's bloodline cultivation surged, and her magical power became inexhaustible. Even this world seemed weak in its eyes, let alone Che Zhengyuan, who was using the Three Enclosures to Fix the Void.
"Snap, snap!"
The void shattered, and fissures spread.
Che Zhengyuan's expression changed drastically. Even though he unleashed the power of the Dao Fruit and pushed Xuan Tong to its limit, he could not withstand such terrifying power. He could only watch helplessly as the Eight-Tailed Fox King shattered the Three Enclosures Fixed Void Realm with a single claw.
"Still not admitting defeat?"
Zhiling stood in the void, her eyes looking down at Che Zhengyuan and his beast companion. She did not press down her claws to continue the attack.
Otherwise, Che Zhengyuan might be fine, but the three beasts, the Nine-Colored Deer, Huaxu, and Yuxuanchi, would definitely suffer severe damage, or even die on the spot.
"Mr. Che admits defeat."
Che Zhengyuan took a deep breath, gave a slight bow, not afraid of losing face.
Anyone with eyes can see that Chen Beiwu has defeated the chief disciples of the four great grotto heavens of Taiyin, Xuanyuan, Chunyang and Yuyu in succession, making him the most brilliant star in this year's Immortal Alliance Grotto Heaven Competition. Losing to him is not shameful at all; it will only make him a stepping stone to his illustrious reputation.
"Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Chen Beiwu victorious!"
As soon as Elder Guangyu finished speaking, the prodigies of all the sects felt a chill run down their spines, their eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.
Before the start of the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, no one expected that Chen Beiwu, the chief of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, would be able to accomplish such a feat, defeating one Cave Heaven chief after another who had surpassed his contemporaries.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Chen Beiwu can go even further tomorrow and defeat Shi Wujian, the chief of Zhouhua Cave Heaven, he will set a record for the Immortal Sect, leaving an unforgettable mark in the history of the Immortal Alliance and causing a huge uproar on Tianyuan Star.
Could it be that Chen Beiwu is about to break the myth of the invincibility of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens? Wang Chan revealed a complicated look.
"Who knows?" Fairy Yuexiao stared blankly at Chen Beiwu's figure, a premonition rising in her heart.
The difference between minor mastery and major mastery of immortal techniques is enormous.
Unless Shi Wujian can cultivate his fundamental immortal technique to perfection within a single day, he will most likely be defeated by Chen Beiwu.
"What kind of mysterious power is that? The Fellow Beasts can actually fuse and evolve!"
The other talented cultivators, unlike the chief disciples of the Shangqing and Taiqing sects, did not understand the Jade Purity Primordial Immortal Technique as well. After regaining their senses, they immediately began to discuss and study the strange changes of the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, their emotions unable to calm down.
On the stage, as the Primordial True Beast Xuan Tong was released, the figures of the two little guys, Golden Egg and Zhi Ling, slowly appeared.
"Eek!"
Zhiling's eyes looked somewhat distressed.
After getting used to that endless power, it only felt weak when it returned to the late-stage Demon King realm, while the golden egg's expression did not change much.
"I will defeat you tomorrow!"
Just then, Shi Wujian swept past Chen Beiwu onto the stage, leaving behind a divine sense transmission.
"Is that so? I hope you won't disappoint me," Chen Beiwu replied calmly.
Shi Wujian did not reply, and continued his escape, landing directly on the dueling platform.
Meanwhile, on the stands, the four great grotto-heavens of Chunyang, Taiyin, Xuanyuan, and Yuyu all slightly moved their eyes and looked at the grotto-heavens of Zhouhua.
They weren't intentionally listening; it's just that the spiritual communication between juniors is hard to hide from the perception of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Noticing the gazes of many True Venerables, the Nascent Soul Transformation cultivator of the Zhouhua Cave Heaven remained silent, showing no intention of speaking.
As the foremost of the five great grotto heavens, Zhouhua Grotto Heaven has its own pride. How could it allow its chief to be defeated by a prodigy from a celestial sect!
Soon, the contest between Shi Wujian and Xuanyuan Yu ended, with the former winning with his superior profound abilities.
However, the Nascent Soul cultivators discovered that Chen Beiwu, the next opponent of the chief cultivator of the Zhouhua Cave Heaven, was not watching the battle from the stands. Instead, he left early with his relatives and friends to tour the scenery of the Taiyin Cave Heaven.
"What a confident little guy, he doesn't even watch his opponent's fight!"
Skill breeds daring; this little guy defeated Che Zhengyuan without using much of his strength, so why would he care about Shi Wujian?
To possess such cultivation and combat achievements at such a young age... for a moment, I seemed to see the shadow of an old friend in Chen Beiwu."
During their exchange of consciousness, the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Taiyin Cave Heaven frowned slightly, disagreeing with each other.
If we only consider comprehension, Chen Beiwu is indeed qualified to be compared with Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin.
However, if one takes into account the many foundations of cultivation such as immortal techniques, fellow practitioners, Dao body, and Dao heart, Chen Beiwu pales in comparison to the Holy Maiden of Taiyin.
On the other side, in the Taiyin Cave, under the laurel tree.
"Beiwu, how confident are you tomorrow?" Huang Xiaoling couldn't help but ask.
-
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really couldn't have imagined that her son could achieve what he has today, even being able to sweep away and defeat the high-ranking chief of the cave realm.
"I'm not very confident."
Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly, and seeing his parents and Xu Lingling frowning, he deliberately left out the rest of the sentence: "It's only about 99% certain."
"Indeed, Chief Zhou Hua's strength is unfathomable. You, Bei Wu, are 99% certain you have already—"
Halfway through comforting her, Huang Xiaoling realized what was happening and gave Ji Zi a disgruntled look.
Just kidding again!
A 99% certainty is already ridiculously high, bordering on arrogance.
"In short, be careful in everything you do."
Huang Xiaoling gave a reminder, and then suddenly brought up the matter of returning to the Huang family branch to retrieve the family heirloom.
"An heirloom? Didn't my maternal grandfather say that the main lineage had long since severed ties with the branch lineages and that they no longer interacted?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, his eyes brightening slightly.
The Nine Breaths Chaos Treasure on his body was obtained from the Miro Supreme True Southern God Statue, which the Huang family had worshipped for generations.
In order to find out the origin of the statue and the source of the Nine Breaths Chaos, Chen Beiwu had asked his mother about the Huang family many times before, but he had basically gained nothing. Instead, he found two insignificant and rudimentary Qi cultivation techniques at the bottom of the statue.
"That's right." Huang Xiaoling nodded, not trying to hide it.
Only after her father left a handwritten letter before his death did she learn that he had two regrets:
First, the main branch of the Huang family failed to continue the lineage, and the bloodline was completely severed from the father's generation.
Secondly, the main branch is too weak to retrieve the Taiyi Supreme Saint Northern Transport Divine Statue, a legacy item that had fallen into the hands of the Huang family's branch, even though the branch does not value the statue.
Of these two regrets, the one that Huang Xiaoling's father could not let go of the most was undoubtedly the first.
The reason is that the father's internal injuries are difficult to heal, making it impossible for his Daoist partner to conceive a child.
However, if she could find and worship the "Taiyi Zhisheng Beiyun Divine Statue" passed down through generations of the Huang family, it should bring some comfort to her father's spirit in heaven.
"Where is the Huang family branch now?" Chen Beiwu asked.
"It's in Shangyu County, Tianyun Prefecture, Zhouhua Road," Huang Xiaoling said thoughtfully.
The Huang family has been separated for ten thousand years. In the past, she did not want to mention it in front of her son because the Huang family branch is no longer what it used to be. It is now a Nascent Soul True Clan in Shangyu County, with two Nascent Soul True Monarchs in charge, and its reputation is far-reaching.
But the situation is different now. Her son is a True Monarch powerhouse who can suppress the chiefs of the four great grotto heavens. It shouldn't be difficult for him to retrieve the inheritance that was stolen from the Huang family by a branch.
Chen Beiwu's heart stirred, and he became interested in the heirloom his mother had mentioned. He immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to his senior sister Su, asking her to help him investigate the Huang family of Shangyu in preparation.
At the same time, he sank his mind into the chaotic world and found that the Purple Qi Canopy position did not show any warning.
"That's true. It's already rare for the Huang family to be able to inherit the Nine Breaths of Chaos. It's unlikely that they would possess a second treasure of fortune!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
"If we can get that statue back, we'll get it back; if we really can't find it, it doesn't matter." Huang Xiaoling didn't have much hope.
So much time has passed, the Taiyi Zhisheng Beiyun Divine Statue may not still be at the branch temple, or it may have been lost elsewhere.
"I will do my best." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly.
He finally learned about the statue from his mother. Even though the "Taiyi Zhisheng Beiyun Statue" was not a rare treasure, he could still obtain some valuable information and even find out the origin of the Nine Breaths Chaos.
