Chapter 186: Jade-Clear Subli Scripture
“Damn!”
Chen Beiwu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with horror.
Though death within the Contention Stage would not cause one’s true self to perish, it would deal a heavy blow to a cultivator’s spirit and vitality.
At this mont, Chen Beiwu’s face was pale, his arms trembling, and cold sweat poured out from every pore of his body, soaking his clothes.
One must know that for a Qi Refining cultivator with a flawless body, with but a thought, they could perfectly control every pore of their body.
Yet Chen Beiwu, though a Qi Refining cultivator beyond the limit, after exiting the Contention Stage, was unable to suppress his body’s instinctive reactions.
This was the chaos of the mind caused by a cultivator’s spirit and vitality being crushed beneath the terrifying divine sense of a superior existence.
Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, ditated on Tai Xuan Guarding the One, and barely managed to use his divine sense to suppress the fear in his heart.
‘Such terrifying breath, what kind of art was that!’
Recalling the battle in the Contention Stage, Chen Beiwu could not help but doubt his very life.
He knew he would most likely lose, but he had never imagined he would lose to a re breath!
Indeed, within the Contention Stage, Gu Qinghan had not struck, nor had she driven her Companion Beast. She rely opened her mouth and gently blew out a breath.
Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg both saw darkness before their eyes and were instantly killed, forced out of the Contention Stage.
‘Is the gap between over-limit Qi Refining cultivators truly this terrifying? I was killed by a single breath!’
Chen Beiwu shook his head, ceased thinking further, and rose to look around, only to find himself the focus of every examinee present.
For he was the last examinee to exit the Contention Stage.
“Do you have the thought of changing your preference to apply for the Jade-Clear Immortal Sect?” A voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Beiwu turned toward the source of the voice, his expression filled with astonishnt.
For the speaker was none other than the person in charge of this Immortal Alliance Entrance Exam—True Monarch Jiang Chuan.
“Hiss!”
Seeing True Monarch Jiang Chuan’s divine-sense incarnation descend, the examinees around all drew in a sharp breath, their eyes filled with envy.
For one to be personally recruited by a Nascent Soul True Monarch—did this not an this person had broken through all four stages and obtained a double-armor evaluation?
Seeing hesitation in Chen Beiwu’s eyes, True Monarch Jiang Chuan smiled and suggested, “Shall we speak in another place?”
Chen Beiwu nodded.
To be able to negotiate was best. He ca from an ordinary background and had no way of knowing the true differences between the Upper Three Immortal Sects and the Bixiao Immortal Sect.
True Monarch Jiang Chuan waved his sleeve, taking Chen Beiwu away from the examination field, leaving behind a crowd of examinees whose faces betrayed naked jealousy.
Witnessing this, Zhao Wuchen and the other recruiters from the Immortal Sects at the examination site could not remain calm.
For a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch, to recruit a disciple would stoop so low as to directly take a prodigious examinee away.
Sensing the gazes of the surrounding Golden Core True Persons, True Monarch Jiang Chuan smiled calmly: “After I finish my discussion, you may do as you wish.”
Among this year’s Immortal Alliance Entrance Exam candidates, there were no more than sixty cultivators who had caught his eye.
Chen Beiwu was rely one of them.
Hearing these words, the Immortal Sect recruiters exchanged glances and could only accept.
After all, the promises of the Upper Three Immortal Sects were still worth believing.
Unlike other Immortal Sects, such as the Tianyan Immortal Sect, Bixiao Immortal Sect, Daluo Immortal Sect, and Wanjie Immortal Sect.
Recruiters from these sects often used despicable ans to secure prodigious talents.
At tis, they would even resort to forcibly abducting examinees, restricting their personal freedom, confiscating their communication tools, altering their applications without consent, sowing confusion and slandering other sects’ reputations, or enticing them with vast cultivation resources—many of which were outright violations of Immortal Alliance laws.
Of course, such behavior was rarely directed at geniuses from Dao-Venerated Clans or True Venerated Aristocratic Families.
Each treasure has its owner. Talents born of Dao-Venerated Clans or True Venerated Families already belonged to their sect’s Grotto-Heaven, and could not simply be stolen.
Those who could be forcibly taken were usually prodigies of more ordinary origins, most often from Nascent Soul True Clans or Golden Core families.
Unlike the four sects with sullied reputations, the other nine Immortal Sects—especially the Upper Three Immortal Sects—valued their face. Their recruiters were more laid-back, rarely taking ordinary prodigies too seriously, let alone putting in effort to recruit them.
Of course, if an unparalleled genius appeared, comparable to a Grotto-Heaven prodigy, even the recruiters of the Thirteen Immortal Sects would not hesitate to use extraordinary ans, even alarming the higher echelons of their sects.
‘Chen Beiwu’s aptitude is good, but he still falls short of a Grotto-Heaven prodigy.’ Zhao Wuchen hesitated for a mont, then decisively suppressed his impulse to notify his master to intervene.
…
“Your talent is not bad. Entering the Bixiao Immortal Sect would be sowhat of a pity,” True Monarch Jiang Chuan praised.
By rights, a candidate defeated by the fourth-stage prodigy phantom of the Contention Stage was not worth his personal invitation.
But Chen Beiwu was different—he had faced Gu Qinghan.
Even within the Five Great Grotto-Heavens, those who could contend with Gu Qinghan at the sa level were fewer than ten fingers.
To lose at the hands of such a prodigy was no sha. In fact, in so ways, it was even an honor.
After all, cultivators of lesser standing would not even have the chance to lay eyes on Gu Qinghan.
“But my spiritual root leans toward water, and the cultivation thod I practice is the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree of the Bixiao Immortal Sect.” Chen Beiwu’s eyes showed difficulty, as he sought to raise his value.
True Monarch Jiang Chuan saw through Chen Beiwu’s intentions at a glance and said indifferently: “The All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree is indeed decent, but it is not comparable to the Jade-Clear Primordial Mixed-Yuan Dao Record.”
Chen Beiwu’s heart thumped. He asked subconsciously, “True Monarch, do you an that if I apply to the Jade-Clear Immortal Sect, I may cultivate the Jade-Clear Primordial Mixed-Yuan Dao Record?”
“Of course not.” True Monarch Jiang Chuan shook his head. “The Jade-Clear Primordial Mixed-Yuan Dao Record is a supre immortal art, transcending even Legendary-Grade cultivation thods. Only the sect’s Divine Transformation True Venerated may cultivate it. Not only you—even this True Monarch has no qualification to comprehend it.”
Chen Beiwu was slightly startled.
If one could not cultivate it, then no matter how powerful the immortal-grade cultivation thod was, it was not as practical as a Legendary-Grade thod in hand.
As though perceiving Chen Beiwu’s thoughts, True Monarch Jiang Chuan chuckled lightly: “Fellow Student Chen, reaching for what is beyond one’s grasp is not a good thing.
While I cannot give you the Jade-Clear Primordial Mixed-Yuan Dao Record, I can offer you a chance to comprehend the Taiyuan Boundless Salvation Subli Scripture, a simplified Daoist scripture derived by the mighty experts of our sect.”
“Senior, what difference is there between the Taiyuan Boundless Salvation Subli Scripture and the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree?” Chen Beiwu asked humbly.
“The Taiyuan Boundless Salvation Subli Scripture is not a cultivation thod. It cannot be cultivated. Rather, it is a Daoist scripture, which each cultivator may only observe and comprehend once in their life.
If a Foundation Establishnt cultivator at their peak comprehends it, they may enter a state of sudden enlightennt, raising their probability of forming a Golden Core by forty percent, forging an Upper Third-Rank Golden Core. Its effect far surpasses that of the Tribulation-Breaking Golden Core.”
At this, True Monarch Jiang Chuan paused slightly. “If you are willing to join the Jade-Clear Immortal Sect, this True Monarch can help you obtain the subsequent thods of the All Laws Converge, Heaven Book of the Divine Tree, and additionally grant you one chance to exchange for and comprehend the Taiyuan Boundless Salvation Subli Scripture.”
“May I ask, True Monarch, would this opportunity require Spirit Yuan to exchange, or Fortune?” Chen Beiwu was sowhat moved.
Unlike the empty promises of True Person Zhao Wuchen, True Monarch Jiang Chuan was speaking with real sincerity—he even offered to resolve the issue of subsequent cultivation thods.
