Chapter 187: Biluosong
“No need for Spirit Yuan, nor for fortune; credits alone can be exchanged.”
True Monarch Jiang Chuan gave a brief explanation: “There are five main ways for sect students to earn credits:
First, theoretical courses. Second, practical cultivation. Third, mission trials. Fourth, research and innovation. Fifth, ranking honors.”
“To comprehend the Supre Sutra of Boundless Salvation of Taiyuan does not require many credits, only one hundred.
If you can reach the peak of Foundation Establishnt within a hundred years and complete both theoretical and practical courses, it will be easy enough to accumulate the credits.”
At this point, True Monarch Jiang Chuan smiled faintly: “Compared to earning credits, what is rarer is the opportunity to comprehend the Supre Sutra of Boundless Salvation of Taiyuan. That is a precious privilege reserved for those within the top hundred of the Jade-Void Rankings.”
Hearing this, the balance in Chen Beiwu’s heart imdiately tilted toward the Yuqing Immortal Sect.
Within the Yuqing Immortal Sect, cultivation prodigies were as nurous as the carp crossing a river.
Any cultivator ranked within the top hundred of the Jade-Void Rankings was certainly formidable, with talent and aptitude likely surpassing the projections of those at the third level of the Contention Stage.
That he could now break through three levels of the Contention Stage in succession did not an he could rank within the Jade-Void top hundred.
After all, the absolute prodigies of the Immortal Alliance were true monsters, far beyond the cultivators of the Mirror Moon Sect.
Even if Chen Beiwu could grow by relying on the resources of the Southern Wastes, he dared not claim he could catch up in the short term.
For the cultivation resources that the Immortal Alliance’s peerless prodigies could enjoy far exceeded his imagination.
Thinking of this, the image of that immortal-like figure at the fourth level of the Contention Stage instinctively flashed across Chen Beiwu’s mind.
Unfortunately, within the Contention Stage he could not use divine powers to peer into the fortunes of the cultivators’ projections.
Otherwise, he might have known whether he had lost to the innate arts of that Jade Rabbit, or to the innate aptitude of Gu Qinghan.
If it were the forr, it ant Golden Egg’s premonition had been correct—that Jade Rabbit was very likely a Fourth-Tier Mystic Beast.
The terrifying Yin Wind that Gu Qinghan blew forth had been released through the Companion Beast Seal, a Fourth-Tier Mystic Art!
As for the latter, Chen Beiwu felt the probability was extrely low.
At the very least, he could not imagine how a cultivator who had exceeded the Qi Refining limit could release a True Monarch Mystic Art.
Seeing Chen Beiwu’s expression constantly shifting, True Monarch Jiang Chuan added another strike: “Little Friend Chen, when you applied to the Bixiao Immortal Sect, was it for the sake of the Biluosong?”
Chen Beiwu was slightly stunned, then nodded.
He did not know what the Biluosong was, but he knew that nodding here would not be wrong.
Seeing this, True Monarch Jiang Chuan imdiately understood.
It was his own overthinking—Chen Beiwu had an ordinary background and no channels to learn about the Bixiao Immortal Sect’s exclusive Third-Tier Treasure Beast, the Biluosong.
“The Biluosong is ford when a branch shed from the Divine Tree fell into the Yellow Springs of Biluos and mutated.
It is a dual-attribute, Wood-and-Water Third-Tier Treasure Beast.
By contracting this beast, cultivators who cultivate the Heaven Book of the Divine Tree, All Laws Converge can borrow its water-and-wood essence to awaken the ceaseless vitality of Clearwood Spiritual Power—greatly increasing their lifespan and sustaining their mana.”
Hearing this, Chen Beiwu’s eyes flickered as he listened quietly.
As expected, True Monarch Jiang Chuan’s tone shifted with a sigh: “But the Biluosong is exceedingly rare. Only those cultivators born into the two core bloodlines of the Bixiao Immortal Sect are qualified to contract it.
Even if you enter the Bixiao Immortal Sect, it will be difficult for you to obtain the chance to contract a Biluosong.”
The more Chen Beiwu heard, the more he felt that the Bixiao Immortal Sect was a pitfall.
Though he knew clearly that True Monarch Jiang Chuan’s words were deliberately revealing the sect’s nepotism.
‘My Immortal Exam application must be changed!’ Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
Compared to cultivation talent, the Bixiao Immortal Sect valued background far more.
If he went there, it would only hinder him, unfavorable for his future Dao path.
“The final test results have not yet been announced. Student Chen, you can take a few days to think carefully before deciding on your final application,” True Monarch Jiang Chuan said calmly.
“Many thanks, True Monarch, for clearing my doubts.”
Before leaving, Chen Beiwu bowed in gratitude.
The information about the Thirteen Immortal Sects on the Immortal Alliance’s official website was heavily filtered; he needed to weigh it against the words of other recruitnt teachers before making a cautious choice.
Soon, three days passed.
During this ti, teachers from the Thirteen Immortal Sects visited Chen Beiwu’s rented cultivation cave-dwelling daily to discuss his application.
Jiuxiao Immortal Sect.
Daluo Immortal Sect.
Sword-Abyss Immortal Sect.
Yuxu Immortal Sect.
……
After sending off True Person Pei Heng, Chen Beiwu sighed.
Through these days of inquiry, he realized that True Monarch Jiang Chuan had spoken no falsehood.
Among the Thirteen Immortal Sects, the Bixiao Immortal Sect placed the greatest weight on family background, with strict seniority and nepotism.
Talented cultivators from ordinary families who entered the Bixiao Immortal Sect had to attach themselves to disciples of the two core bloodlines and find a patron, or else they would most likely face rejection and exclusion from their peers.
This reminded Chen Beiwu of Gu Chun, who was constantly ostracized within her sect due to Senior Sister Shu You.
He did not want to enter the Bixiao Immortal Sect and face needless difficulties just because of his ordinary background, outstanding talent, yet unwillingness to conform.
Compared to the Bixiao Immortal Sect, the Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing—these Upper Three Immortal Sects—had good reputations according to the recruitnt teachers, and their overall strength was even greater.
The only flaw the other sects’ recruiters could point out was that the Upper Three Immortal Sects had too many prodigies, and competition was too fierce. By talent alone, it would be difficult for him to stand out among them.
Yet this did not faze Chen Beiwu.
With the Nine-Breath Chaos Divine Ability and the Nine-Breath Chaos Heaven and Earth, his future could never be ordinary.
“Buzz!”
Hearing the cave’s formation alert, Chen Beiwu rose, removed the restrictions, and opened the cave’s door.
The visitor was none other than Zhao Wuchen, True Person Zhao, whom he had once t.
Compared to their last discussion, where he was lofty and aloof, this ti Zhao Wuchen’s face bore a trace of warmth.
“Please sit, True Person.” Chen Beiwu offered hot tea.
Taking the tea, Zhao Wuchen placed it aside with so disdain, and went straight to the point: “Student Chen, have you reached a decision?”
“I have decided. I want to join the Yuqing Immortal Sect,” Chen Beiwu said without hesitation.
Of the Upper Three Immortal Sects, only the Yuqing Immortal Sect had extended an olive branch to him; the other two, Shangqing and Taiqing, had not sent recruiters to visit.
After much thought, Chen Beiwu concluded that the Yuqing Immortal Sect, which valued talent over background, suited him best.
“The Yuqing Immortal Sect has no True Sovereign of Divine Transformation who cultivates the Heaven Book of the Divine Tree, All Laws Converge. Student Chen, would you not reconsider?”
Hearing this, Zhao Wuchen’s heart sank.
In the past, had he received such an answer, he would not have pressed further but simply left.
For the Bixiao Immortal Sect never lacked ordinary cultivation geniuses!
But this year, the sect was undergoing reform. If he let slip a cultivation genius who had broken through three levels of the Contention Stage and lost only to Gu Qinghan, one who cultivated the Heaven Book of the Divine Tree, All Laws Converge, he would surely face bla from the sect.
What was more, Zhao Wuchen had investigated Chen Beiwu’s records during this ti and learned that the latter had never purchased Moonlight Dewdrops or Green Vine Branches from the Immortal Alliance’s official website, but had instead cultivated the Heaven Book to the eleventh layer purely through enlightennt by listening to the Cleansing Spirit lody.
What did this an?
It ant Chen Beiwu was extraordinarily attuned to the Heaven Book of the Divine Tree, All Laws Converge. If he received guidance from a sect’s True Sovereign of Divine Transformation, he had the potential to forge a Water-and-Wood Dharma Body, achieve Flawless Qi Refining, and beco a prodigy rivaling those of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens.
