Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 835 The Sleeping Ancient Existence [Subscription Request]

Venerable Changchun has made a breakthrough!

At this moment, all the changes in Changchun Valley and the surrounding areas indicate this fact.

Therefore, after being shocked, the five sixth-level alien warriors shouted in panic: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! Changchun Old Ghost has broken through!"

As soon as the words fell, the five people fled desperately.

But Zhou Chun and others were not willing to let the tiger go back to the mountains easily at this time, so they immediately launched a full-scale pursuit.

At this moment, the voice of Venerable Changchun also sounded from Changchun Valley.

"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Before the voice fell, a spear, a foot and a vine flew out from Changchun Valley.

The green bamboo spear was the fastest and appeared beside the fleeing Golden Horned Dragon Saint in an instant. It fiercely pierced through the sixth-order dragon scales that he was so proud of. Countless green branches grew out from the wound, using his blood and spiritual power as nutrients, growing madly in an attempt to tie him up!
The Golden Horned Dragon Saint tried his best to mobilize the power of the Golden Element Law that he mastered to destroy those branches, but the resilience of these branches was so amazing that as soon as he destroyed some of them, more branches quickly sprouted out.

Moreover, the green bamboo spear that pierced into his body was releasing a strange force of decay, corrupting his true blood body and making him feel like a piece of rotting meat. Even his demon soul and spirit were affected.

Is this the strength of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation?
The Golden Horned Dragon Saint was shocked and frightened. He no longer dared to hope for any luck and recklessly activated the original power of the [Dragon God Pearl], and even mobilized the power of the laws of the Tao that were beyond his control.

After this extreme outburst, he finally forced the green bamboo spears out of his body and destroyed those blood-sucking green branches.

Then he fled from here at the fastest speed in his life.

However, among those alien races, not everyone is like him, the Golden Horned Dragon Saint, who has a mid-grade magical treasure to protect him.

Lei Zhen, who was hit by the white wooden ruler, had no power to resist at all and his body was easily blown up.

And just as his soul was about to leave his body and transform into lightning to escape, a special force that made his soul tremble suddenly burst out from the white wooden ruler.

Do not--

A loud roar of terror resounded through the sky.

Then Lei Zhen's soul was shattered directly by the blow of the white wooden ruler!
A powerful sixth-rank warrior was completely terrified!
This scene not only made the alien warriors terrified, but even Zhou Chun and other human gods also changed their expressions and showed fear.

Most of them have fought with Lei Zhen before and knew clearly that even if their own strength was stronger than the other party, it was still very limited.

But now, this powerful alien warrior with the same strength as them was killed on the spot by Venerable Changchun from a distance!

This shock cannot be digested in a short period of time.

At the time when Lei Zhen died, the green vines also tied up the Ice and Fire Demon Ape, the new demon saint.

Sometimes, fiery red flames rose from the body of the demon ape, and the overbearing flames burned the void into a certain distortion; sometimes, frost covered its body, freezing the void.

But neither fire nor ice could do anything to the green vines that bound him.

This seemingly delicate vine is actually tougher than any magical weapon!

It is purely composed of the power of the Wood Element Law, representing the achievement of Changchun Venerable, a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, in the power of the Wood Element Law.

In order to destroy it, one must either be stronger than or close to Changchun Venerable in understanding the laws of the Dao, or possess a powerful treasure.

It’s a pity that we don’t have these two types of Ice and Fire Demon Apes!
The reason he was able to successfully advance to the sixth level was purely due to his outstanding talent and good luck.

The reason why he was able to successfully overcome the tribulation was because of the assistance from the Golden Horned Dragon Saint, who provided him with several spiritual treasures that were suitable for him.

But even if those spiritual treasures were not destroyed during the tribulation, they were returned to the Golden Horned Dragon Saint.

Even if it was still on him, it was obviously impossible to help him.

Therefore, when he tried every means to break free from the vines but failed, he couldn't help but feel despair, and madness appeared in his eyes.

Boom!

With an earth-shattering explosion, the area within a thousand miles around Changchun Valley was instantly filled with red and blue spiritual light. The powerful explosion caused the earth to collapse by hundreds of feet, and the land within a thousand miles was scraped several feet away!

No matter whether it was the grass, trees, rocks, snakes, insects, rats or ants on the ground, they were all turned into powder!
After a long time, the aftermath dissipated, and the world became clear again. The figure of Changchun Zun appeared in the sky. He looked down at the devastated land below and couldn't help but sighed: "What a ferocious and decisive demon ape! I underestimated him!"

Because of this incident, Zhou Chun, Taigeng Shenzun and others lost the will to pursue and all returned to Changchun Valley.

Then everyone looked at the thousand-mile area below that had turned into a desolate dead land, and they were all silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of silence, Venerable Lingfeng spoke first: "That demon ape has only just reached the sixth level. It is really cruel that it is willing to directly explode its True Blood Dao Body!"

After saying that, he shook his head and bowed to Changchun Reverend, saying, "Lingfeng has already done what he promised to Changchun Daoist. From now on, we owe each other nothing!"

Then he had no intention of talking to Zhou Chun and the others, and simply turned into a wisp of green wind and dissipated in the wind.

Upon seeing this, Tai Geng Divine Master could not help but snorted coldly and said, "Humph, I thought this guy had changed, but it seems I was overthinking!"

After saying this, he sincerely bowed to Changchun Reverend and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Senior Changchun for your breakthrough in cultivation. I wish Senior Changchun an early ascension!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan also woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly followed suit to salute and congratulate: "Junior Chunjun (Qingxuan), congratulate Senior Changchun on his breakthrough in cultivation, and congratulate Senior Changchun on his early ascension to the upper realm!"

"Haha, fellow Taoists, there's no need to be polite. We are all fellow human beings. I am just a few thousand years older than you and I am one step ahead!"

Venerable Changchun smiled and accepted everyone's congratulations.

Maybe it was because of the breakthrough in his cultivation, or maybe it was because he had inherited the blood of the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, but he now looked as young as a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, emitting a strong vitality all over his body.

After a round of flattery and congratulations, Divine Venerable Taigeng looked at Venerable Changchun with great confidence and said, "Today, Senior Changchun displayed his divine power and killed Lei Zhen of the Multi-Winged Clan and also cut off the True Blood Dao Body of the Ice and Fire Demon Ape. This has already frightened the alien races in all directions. I wonder when we will sweep away the alien races in all directions and unify the world!"

Hearing his words, Changchun Reverend waved his hand and said, "There is no rush for this matter. I have just made a breakthrough and need to consolidate and familiarize myself with the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. At the same time, I also need to wait for information from Daoist Guanghan. After I have consolidated my cultivation, it will not be too late to wipe out those alien races!"

Upon hearing this, Tai Geng Divine Venerable's expression froze for a moment, and then he nodded slightly and said, "Senior Changchun is right. I was a little too excited just now. Let's do as you said and make the preliminary preparations first!"

"Well, Tai Geng, don't worry. I will never forget what I said before."

Reverend Changchun nodded slightly and said a few words to comfort him.

Afterwards, he returned to Changchun Valley to consolidate his cultivation.

At this time, Tai Geng Divine Venerable also looked at Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan and said, "If you two fellow Taoists are not in a hurry, you can go to my cave to have a discussion and exchange experiences with each other."

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately responded, "Since Senior Tai Geng has invited me, I am naturally happy to accompany you."

"That's what I want, but I dare not ask for it!" Ye Qingxuan nodded and agreed immediately.

Then the three of them returned to the cave of Lord Taigeng together.

Not long after, the three of them gathered in the cave of Lord Taigeng, and Lord Taigeng specially took out a jar of treasured premium spiritual wine to celebrate.

But after the three of them clinked their glasses and drank a few cups, Tai Geng Divine Master suddenly sighed and said, "I didn't know that Ling Feng actually still owed Senior Chang Chun a favor, and Senior Chang Chun insisted on waiting until now to use this favor!"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun and Ye Qingxuan looked at each other, not understanding what he meant, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

After taking a look at the two of them, Tai Geng Divine Venerable suddenly asked again: "Can I trust you two?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chun immediately took the lead and said, "Senior Tai Geng has been very kind to me. I can swear that I will never betray you to anyone!"

Although Ye Qingxuan was a step slower, he immediately followed without hesitation and said, "I have always respected Senior Tai Geng. If you trust me, I promise not to leak any of your words!"

After hearing the two's statements, Tai Geng Divine Master also stared at them deeply, then took a sip of wine and said, "Senior Changchun promised me that after he breaks through to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, he will work with me to clean up the universe and create a peaceful and prosperous era for the human race!"

"So, for all these years, I have been running around to various parties to contribute to this matter without any regrets. Even during the most dangerous times, I did not change my mind!"

“But you have seen today that he can mobilize Venerable Lingfeng to contribute, but he is only willing to use it on himself. He can take action to wipe out the aliens, but he still wants to wait for the results from Venerable Guanghan, and he does not consider what crazy things those aliens will do in despair after they retreat!”

At this point, Tai Geng Divine Venerable sighed again and said, "I am not saying this to blame him, but I am really feeling uncomfortable and want to talk to someone!"

Zhou Chun didn't expect that these were the words he was going to say!

What is even more unexpected is that Taigeng Divine Lord, the Divine Lord, is actually an idealist!
He looked at the unhappy Tai Geng Divine Master, thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I can understand Senior Tai Geng's feelings, but Senior Chang Chun's approach is indeed impeccable. For cultivators like me, personal interests always come before everything else!"

"Who among us hasn't experienced countless births and deaths in this world? Who among us doesn't have blood on our hands? Do you dare to say that you have never killed an innocent person?"

At this point, without waiting for Tai Geng Divine Venerable to refute, he immediately continued: "I was often criticized by the elders of the family before. The elders thought that I was too kind and pedantic. Many times, it is obvious that you only need to temporarily let go of the bottom line to reap great rewards. Many things can be avoided by turning a blind eye to them, which can save a lot of trouble!" "Although I always liked to argue with the elders at that time, and always wanted to have my own persistence!"

"But now that I have come a long way and seen everything in the world, I find that the elders may not be completely right, but it is hard to say that they are wrong either!"

At the end of his speech, Zhou Chun sighed and said, "The great Dao is impartial. Good people can achieve Dao, and bad people can also achieve Dao. We stick to our own Dao, and that is the right Dao!"

After he finished speaking, Taigeng Divine Lord frowned and fell into deep thought.

Ye Qingxuan, who was standing by, thought about it and said, "I am not as insightful as Fellow Daoist Zhou, but I also feel that what Senior Changchun has done is indeed impeccable in the eyes of others. Perhaps Senior Taigeng expected too much at the beginning, which is why you are disappointed that the feedback is not as good as expected!"

After he finished saying this, Zhou Chun also glanced at him and secretly sighed in his heart, it was indeed the style of a sword cultivator!

Fortunately, Lord Taigeng is also a sword cultivator, so even though Ye Qingxuan’s words were a bit harsh, he could accept them.

Soon, his frown relaxed, and he said with a bitter smile, "You are right. I was indeed a little bit competitive with myself. It shouldn't be like this!"

Then he took another sip of wine and said to Zhou Chun and the other two, "You two fellow Taoists, please be careful next time. Senior Changchun's caution makes me feel uneasy. Maybe there are some secrets in this world that we don't know. Since the three of us are destined to be fellow Taoists, we should help each other!"

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Tai Geng. I will be careful."

Zhou Chun and the other person looked at each other and nodded seriously.

The two of them did not stay long. After drinking with Lord Taigeng, they returned to their respective caves.

What Zhou Chun and the others didn't know was that after Venerable Changchun returned to Changchun Valley, his expression turned a little ugly.

He was seen standing where the [Immortal God Pine] had been, looking at the dead tree trunk in front of him, muttering to himself with an unpleasant expression, "I didn't expect that after reaching the late stage of Spiritualization, I would not be able to use my full strength. This world is simply a cage for a cultivator in the late stage of Spiritualization. No wonder those senior cultivators in the ancient times had to ascend to the upper realms!"

Previously, in order to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, he used a secret method to seize all the vitality and Taoist charm of the [Immortal Divine Pine], causing this acquired spiritual root to completely wither and die.

But what made him most uncomfortable was not the loss of such an acquired spiritual root, but the fact that after he broke through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, he seemed to have become a "prisoner."

At this moment, he clearly possessed extremely powerful strength, but he could not fully display it.

Once he forcibly uses all his strength, he will be punished by the laws of this world!

So this is the real reason why he did not immediately agree to Lord Taigeng's request to wipe out the alien races in all directions!
What about consolidating one's realm of cultivation? That's just an excuse to save face. In fact, Lord Taigeng knows it all.

The cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage are completely different from those below the Spirit Transformation Stage. All breakthroughs in cultivation start from the Great Dao. As long as they break through, there will be no such thing as an unstable foundation.

And with his attacks restricted, although Venerable Changchun is still much stronger than before, it is not easy to kill the opponent easily when the cultivator in the early stage of Spirit Transformation is on guard.

The reason they were able to kill Lei Zhen and trap the Ice and Fire Demon Ape before was, firstly, that he had just broken through and was not subject to much restriction, and secondly, they did not understand the methods of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and were a little careless.

The reason why he was able to kill Lei Zhen's soul was because his natal magic treasure was called [Shocking God Ruler], which was specifically designed to attack the soul!
It is precisely because of these reasons that are inconvenient to tell others that Venerable Changchun did not respond to the enthusiasm of Venerable Taigeng and did not want to expose these now.

If he does not take action now, then the powerful strength of the late Jinhua cultivator will be feared and revered by everyone, and they will not dare to make any move.

If you actually take action and fail to achieve your target, then problems will arise!

After thinking alone in the valley for a while, Venerable Changchun glanced at the Changchun Valley, which had changed greatly because of his breakthrough to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and immediately made a decision.

"The spiritual energy tide of heaven and earth will not last too long. It seems that it is time to wake up Senior Yuanzun!"

Soon, without anyone knowing, Reverend Changchun quietly left Changchun Valley.

He traveled in hiding, and after half a day's journey westward, he arrived at the Nieling Canyon, which was close to the immortal cultivation world in the far west.

Although there was no foul evil energy between heaven and earth at this time, the evil energy in the Evil Spirit Canyon had not dissipated at all.

However, with Reverend Changchun's current cultivation level, this mere evil aura naturally has no effect on him at all.

After he traveled through the Evil Spirit Canyon for a while, he came to a place above a deep canyon filled with a strong evil aura.

The evil aura in that deep ravine was so thick and foggy that it turned into a substantial black evil fog. It was such a dangerous place that even a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would stay away from it and would not dare to go down.

However, after taking a look at the depth of the canyon, Venerable Changchun dived straight into it.

The ravine was extremely deep. Reverend Changchun sank more than ten thousand feet in the dark fog before he reached the bottom of the ravine.

He walked for a long distance at the bottom of the deep ravine before he came to a special place.

In front of Lord Changchun, there are two huge stone doors. One of the stone doors is carved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and land, and the other stone door is carved with various monsters.

On both sides of the stone gate, there are two giant stone statues, a dragon and a phoenix.

It seemed that this was also the first time for Venerable Changchun to come here. After standing outside and observing for a long time, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He suddenly released his own aura and attacked the two stone doors.

He just raised his hand and waved it, and a green light blasted towards the stone gate.

As a result, when the green spiritual light was about to touch the stone gate, it was instantly defeated by the black spiritual light emerging from the stone gate.

This attack seemed to have triggered some mechanism. The dragon and phoenix stone carvings on both sides of the stone gate immediately came to life and attacked Lord Changchun.

I saw the stone dragon spitting out black real water, and even the power of laws lingering in it.

The stone phoenix, on the other hand, spewed black demonic fire from its mouth, and was also surrounded by a faint force of law.

If this kind of inanimate puppet that can drive the power of laws were placed in the outside world of immortal cultivation, I am afraid that ordinary cultivators in the God Transformation Stage would exclaim in amazement when they saw it.

After all, driving the power of laws is an exclusive ability of a sixth-level strong man. It is really shocking that a mere inanimate puppet can do this!
However, Reverend Changchun knew that Senior Yuanzun's methods could not be judged by the common sense of this world, so this situation was not particularly surprising.

Moreover, although the attacks of the dragon and the phoenix could mobilize the power of the laws, the crude application of that little power of the laws could be easily blocked even by a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, let alone him.

However, he respected the status of Senior Yuan Zun and did not destroy the two stone sculptures. Instead, he calmly resisted their attacks to prevent them from hurting him.

At the same time, he will continue to attack the two stone doors and shake the restrictions on them.

After half a day, the two stone sculptures had not yet exhausted their spiritual power, as if they had endless spiritual power.

However, the stone gate had already developed many cracks due to the continuous attacks of Lord Changchun.

"Who dares to disturb my deep sleep?"

Suddenly, a powerful and deep voice suddenly sounded in the deep ravine.

After hearing this voice, Changchun Zun immediately stopped his attack, and then replied in a very respectful tone: "Senior Yuanzun, please understand. I am Changchun, the fifth generation of the human race's secret keeper. Now that the turbid evil energy has dissipated, the spiritual energy tide of heaven and earth has arrived. According to the instructions of the senior before he fell asleep, this junior has come to wake the senior up!"

After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time, and even the attacks of the dragon and the phoenix did not stop.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour had passed, the voice slowly rang out, "Oh, has the evil spirit finally dissipated? Does that mean the laws of nature in this world have been restored to their original state?"

As he was speaking, the man seemed to finally wake up. The Stone Dragon and Stone Phoenix finally stopped attacking and returned to their original state.

Upon seeing this, Reverend Changchun also quickly replied: "Whether the laws of heaven have been restored to their original state, I am still too shallow to make any rash judgments, but I did succeed in breaking through to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm after the spiritual energy tide descended!"

After hearing his words, the ancient being named "Yuan Zun" was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "Well, you, a young man, have a breakthrough to the late stage of the Spiritualization, which is considered to be a good talent. I also know your purpose. Wait for me to reshape my Tao body first, and when it is time to return to the upper realm, I will naturally take you with me!"

As soon as these words came out, Changchun Zun, with his state of mind and cultivation, could not help but show his joy. He immediately bowed towards the stone gate and said, "Thank you, Senior Yuanzun, for your support!"

Then he said respectfully, "I have one more thing I want to ask Senior Yuanzun. I want to help the human race to clear out the remaining alien races in this world, but I am now restricted by the heaven and earth and cannot exert my full strength. It may be difficult to kill all those sixth-level alien races. I wonder if Senior Yuanzun can give me some advice!"

Hearing his words, Yuan Zun immediately replied: "This is simple. I will teach you a secret method that will allow you to temporarily display your full strength. However, every time you use this secret method, you will be despised by the heavens of this world. After three times at most, you will have to ascend!"

As the words fell, an extremely mysterious secret method emerged in Venerable Changchun's mind.

Such mysterious and unpredictable means made him even more awed.

After taking a quick look at the contents of the secret technique, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Yuanzun, for teaching me the technique. I will not bother you any more. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to get it done for you!"

He was just being polite and didn't take it seriously. After all, the other party's strength was unfathomable and his status was extremely noble, so there was no need for his help.

Unexpectedly, the "Yuan Zun" immediately said: "You said it yourself, so send the corpse of the sixth-level alien you killed to me. I can use it to rebuild my Taoist body!"

"Yes, junior, I obey."

After a moment of hesitation, Venerable Changchun quickly agreed.
