Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 30: The World is Different
"It's not easy to become an immortal!" Chen Beiwu looked up and glanced in the direction of the private school, feeling emotional.

He studied the jade slip for two days and finally mastered the Southern Wilderness language thoroughly.

That female cultivator was quite clever. She tried to trick him by recording nine true and one false words of the Southern Wilderness language in the jade slip.

Fortunately, in order to be cautious, Chen Beiwu stayed near the private school during this period and read a large number of enlightenment books, and successfully found the wrong or missing words in the jade slip.

"You dare to change the name of your predecessor to a idiot, and your fellow Daoist to a mud horse. Daoist friend, please stay and change it to a mud horse. You will die early... Your death is not unjust."

Chen Beiwu shook his head, not paying too much attention to the little tricks the other party left behind before his death, and casually took out a dozen books.

Nanhuang Cave Mingzhi

Random Cultivators' Miscellaneous Talks

Records of Xuanyuan Techniques

Nine Tests of Qi Training - Five Major Schools

……

By reading these books, Chen Beiwu gradually understood some of the situations in the Southern Wilderness.

The Southern Wilderness is vast and boundless, located in the southernmost part of the continent, backed by the Endless Sea. It contains countless spiritual veins, immortal mountains and immortal sects, and there are countless dynasties and forces that choose to rely on immortal sects.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are as many as three well-known immortal cultivation sects near the Zeguo area to which Shuishan Town belongs, which made Chen Beiwu slightly stunned.

My goodness, in the Immortal Alliance, only the Golden Core True Man can establish a sect.

I didn't expect the Southern Wilderness to be so wild. A foundation-building cultivator, or even a few ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivators, dared to occupy a low-level spirit vein and claim that they had opened up a sect.

This kind of immortal cultivation force without a Jindan Zhenren in charge is more like an immortal cultivation family that helps each other rather than a sect.

According to some diary records left in the storage bag, the brothers Tong Yu and Zhong Shan and Lin Yu once founded a sect for cultivating immortals, but due to poor management, the sect soon went bankrupt and turned into a den of thieves.

"Even cultivators in the late stage of Qi training can occupy the first-order spiritual veins at will. No wonder the Southern Wilderness dares to claim to be vast and boundless." Chen Beiwu felt a little happy.

The fewer resources there are for cultivating immortals, the more intense the competition becomes.

On the contrary, the fact that the foundation-building cultivators in the Southern Wilderness do not take the first-level spirit veins seriously shows that this world is rich in resources, and there are so many first-level spirit veins that even high-level cultivators disdain them. This is undoubtedly a great thing for Chen Beiwu.

He took out "Nanhuangdong Mingzhi" and glanced at it, and found that Zeguo was located in the Shanyan Realm of Diyan Realm. It was just an insignificant point on the map of the nine realms of the entire Nanhuang Realm, but the information was very specific.

The maps of the other eight realms appear to be extremely large, like sacred mountains and blessed lands, but in fact they contain many omissions and many places are not described in detail.

Obviously, the author of Nanhuangdong Mingzhi spent his entire life only drawing a map of Diyan Realm, one of the nine realms of Nanhuang. The maps of the other eight realms were all copied and written based on hearsay, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

"It's too difficult to be a solo cultivator. If you want to do well in the Southern Wilderness, you must join a big sect." Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

The Immortal Alliance values ​​order. Even a Jindan Zhenren would not kill or seize a Foundation Establishment cultivator for no reason, as the loss would outweigh the gain and the Immortal Alliance would punish them severely.

But the Southern Wilderness is different. There is no order here, and strength is the most important thing.

The powerful can do whatever they want, and even make some immortal sects pay tributes in exchange for their protection.

Small sects have to be so humble and subservient, so it is even more difficult for independent cultivators in the Southern Wilderness to survive, simply because they are people with "five nothings".

What are the five nothings?

Non-spiritual land: no fixed cave, can only occupy the spiritual veins of the barren mountains.

No backing: No sect to protect you, no help when encountering enemies, you can only rely on yourself to fight.

No inheritance: Lacking systematic techniques, relying on fragments of manuals for cultivation, breaking through the foundation is like a blind man touching an elephant. No resources: Fighting for resources is a life-or-death struggle, and even if you manage to get a chance, it will be snatched away by the larger sects.

No identity: People with wild ways are looked down upon, and no one cares even if they are beaten to death in the street by strong men.

To put it bluntly, independent cultivators are illegal immigrants, and they can easily be used as scouts and cannon fodder by disciples of the sect, or be placed under restrictions by strong men to take over their bodies and ward off disasters.

Of course, the Southern Wilderness is not completely without rules.

There are five major immortal cultivation sects in Diyan, namely Jingyue Palace, Xuanjian Pavilion, Qingmu Sect, Fenyan Sect and Chongjin Sect.

These five major sects have the inheritance of the Xuanfa Zhencan and are presided over by the Yuanying Zhenjun. They have countless affiliated sects and are extremely powerful. They are respected as the Five Major Sects by the immortal cultivation world in the Diyan Realm.

It is no exaggeration to say that even a Jindan Zhenren has to abide by the rules set by the five major sects and dare not violate them at will.

Therefore, the world of immortal cultivation in Diyan Realm can still barely maintain a certain order on the surface, but secretly, the independent cultivators and small sects are having a hard time.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Beiwu decided to inquire about the information of Jingyue Palace to see if he could join this powerful force.

There was no other way. Chen Beiwu originally wanted to be a casual cultivator, but casual cultivators were people with nothing, and the Southern Wilderness was too chaotic.

His cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi training, so it would not be a big deal if he met a Qi training cultivator like Lin Yu. However, if he was unlucky and met a Foundation Establishment cultivator who attacked him secretly, it would be fatal.

In addition, Chen Beiwu also wanted to confirm a guess in his mind by joining the five major sects.

What does that mean.

Chen Beiwu suspected that the natural environment of the Southern Wilderness was completely different from that of the Immortal Alliance (Tianyuan Star).

In ancient times, the Tianyuan Star Avenue was stable.

Even if a cultivator has achieved the unity of heaven and man, has been reborn, and has reached the state of three flowers gathering at the top of the head and five qi converging to the origin, and has condensed supreme magical power, it is still difficult for him to use magic to activate the laws of heaven and earth, let alone fight against the magical powers of a great demon.

The demon race is blessed with unique advantages. They do not need to practice. Just relying on the blood in their bodies, they can activate the laws of heaven and earth, and make their own magical powers burst out with devastating power.

Some powerful ancient monsters can even mobilize the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth to condense the Dao fruit of immortality and ascend to heaven.

It is also because of this that the human race was weak in ancient times, and no one could comprehend the heaven and earth and become an immortal. However, the great demons were rampant and ravaged the heaven and earth, but they could successfully condense the fruits of the Tao and ascend.

Fortunately, an unrivaled great man was born among the human race, who, with his great wisdom, opened up a path of cultivation through the use of beasts that terrified the demon race.

To this day, the Immortal Alliance's cultivation philosophy has taken shape, and it follows the path of cultivating oneself through external means.

To put it simply, it means using beasts to cultivate and achieve enlightenment, and it focuses more on spiritual roots and resources.

However, the cultivation philosophy of the Southern Wilderness is to use magic to cultivate oneself and connect with the universe. In simple terms, it is to cultivate both the body and the soul to achieve enlightenment. It follows the old path of the immortal cultivators of Tianyuan Star in ancient times, and pays more attention to the talent of magic (comprehension).

These two concepts ultimately lead to the same conclusion, but they are essentially different.

Chen Beiwu picked up the "Xuanyuan Shu Shu Lu" and opened it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reliable.

Although they were releasing the same magic, the power of the magic he released in the Southern Wilderness was several times higher than that of the Immortal Alliance.

At first, Chen Beiwu thought that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Southern Wilderness was extremely rich, which caused the power of the magic to be doubled, so he didn't think much about it.

It was not until today when he read the Southern Wilderness cultivation techniques and understood the core cultivation concepts of the techniques that he immediately reacted.

"If my guess is true, with my talent for magic, I should be able to join the five major sects smoothly." Chen Beiwu's eyes lit up.
