Heavenly timing and earthly advantage

The Golden Egg extended its Dragon Claw, pinning the Shadow Leopard's head beneath it, and then looked at Beiwu.

It knew full well that if Beiwu hadn't intervened at the crucial moment, severely injuring the Shadow Leopard, the Three Offices and Three Rivers Dragon Court Shadow Leopard Court's True Form alone wouldn't have been enough to defeat it. Even now that the outcome was decided, due to the vast difference in their Dao Practice levels, it would still need to expend considerable effort to possibly send the Shadow Leopard to its doom. "Don't rush into action."

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered, meeting those of the Shadow Leopard, and then he activated his Primordial Spirit Divine Sense.

Boom!

Boom!

The clash between Primordial Spirit was extremely dangerous, but the Shadow Leopard was in very poor condition, and its injuries had been suppressed by the Three Offices and Three Rivers Dragon Court. However, after a few breaths, the Shadow Leopard's eyes, which were filled with intense ferocity, paused slightly, and then quickly became dull and lifeless.

Upon seeing this, Iron Egg and Xuele couldn't help but blink, surprised by Beiwu's current strength.

A difference of just First Realm can make all the difference.

There is actually an insurmountable gap between Spirit Transformation Late-Stage True Venerable and a peak Fifth Realm Peak Demon Venerable.

Unexpectedly, Beiwu was able to completely suppress a Peak Demon Venerable his Divine Sense, and even go so far as to search the soul!

"Buzz!"

Chen Beiwu remained calm as his Divine Sense probed, and countless fragments of memories quietly flooded his mind, giving him a deeper understanding of this world. This world was called the Kongming Realm, a place where the cultivation civilization flourished, and the highest rank in the Cultivation System was called the Dao Integration Realm.

The Demon Race and the Human Race fought a long and bitter war over the world's core, the [Kongji Mother Tree]. The conflict only ended when the Human Race's Spirit Transformation Perfection True Venerable, [Violet Gold True Venerable], seized the Kongji Mother Tree, Union with the Dao and Earth, and ascended to the Dao Integration Realm. The Demon Race race, weakened, chose to retreat and retreat to one side, thus ending the conflict and allowing each side to cease its interference. Five thousand years ago, the Violet Gold Ancestor, who was stationed at the Kongji Mother Tree, sensed a change in the world and took the initiative to confront the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons. However, he mysteriously disappeared, presumably dying and his Dao dissipating, plunging the Human Race into internal strife.

Seeing this rare opportunity, the Demon Race race, in order to seize the Fruit of Union with the Dao, voluntarily submitted to the Human Race, risking everything to snatch the chestnut from the fire, and ultimately took control of the Kongji Mother Tree from the Human Race Cultivator.

The Demon Race leader, [Tengyuan Qushan], even swallowed the Fruit of Union with the Dao, advancing to the Union with the Dao Demon Venerable level, and proclaimed himself the Kongming Ancestor, his power unmatched. "A Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator dares to call himself a Union with the Dao expert!"

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, unsure whether to laugh at this powerful figure from the Middle Thousand World for being too narrow-minded, or for being too arrogant and conceited. Within the Immortal Alliance, anyone who dared to call themselves Union with the Dao being had to be at least one of the best among the Void Refinement Dao Venerable.

Such beings could easily erase an entire Middle Thousand World with just a thought.

"However, this Violet Gold Ancestor looks quite familiar." Chen Beiwu's mind stirred slightly.

Although the timing didn't match, the aura of this Violet Gold Ancestor was exactly the same as that of the Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator that Chen Beiwu had seen before.

Furthermore, since the Kongming Realm is only a Middle Thousand World, the number of Half-Step Void Refinement cultivators it can nurture is extremely limited. Therefore, the identity of the Violet Gold Ancestor is self-evident; he is most likely the unlucky fellow who perished at the hands of the Dao Venerable.

"Huh? (Why is there such a big difference in the flow of time between the two worlds?)"

Xuele tilted his head, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Roar?" (If that's the case, we've been in the Kongming Realm for thousands of years, while the Immortal Alliance has only been around for three or four years?)

The Golden Egg Dragon Eyes gleamed slightly, feeling that it had successfully found a sacred place for cultivation, where it could perfectly utilize the time flow Two Realms.

You're overthinking it. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Chen Beiwu glanced at the Golden Egg.

The reason why time flowed too fast in the Kongming Realm before was because the distance Two Realms was extremely far, about tens of thousands of Heaven-Patrolling Distance.

Now that the Jade Purity and the Two-World Gate have already locked onto the Kongming Realm and established a connecting Spatial Passage, the passage of time in Two Realms will naturally converge. "Roar." (Okay.)

The Golden Egg Dragon Head drooped slightly, its enthusiasm waning.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but smile.

This little guy doesn't know what's good for him; he failed to spot the real treasure.

The most precious thing in the Kongming Realm is undoubtedly the Kongji Mother Tree, which occupies the core of this world and can help True Venerable at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Perfection stage reach the Half-Step Void Refinement realm. Within the Immortal Alliance, this tree has another well-known common name: Biming Kongsang, a priceless quasi- Sixth Tier Dao wood. The fruit it bears can be called the Kongsang Dao Fruit, and if Cultivation Magnate consumes this fruit while attempting to break through to the Half-Step Void Refinement, it can increase their success rate by 30%.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Xuele's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the Huayu Year Marrow and Kongqing Vine he had just acquired were no longer so appealing.

That quasi- Sixth Tier Dao Wood sounds really powerful.

If we can seize it and cultivate it carefully in the Taiyi True Form Inner Landscape, it will not only make great progress in its Dao Practice, but also ensure that Beiwu will not lack resources for proving the Dao at the Half-Step Void Refinement.

Thinking of this, Xue Le couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering, and began to consider whether he and Bei Wu could defeat a half-step Void Refinement cultivator together. "The Void Refinement Dao Venerable has such high standards that he doesn't even look down on a quasi-sixth-order Dao Wood!" Chen Bei Wu's thoughts were different, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart. With the Void Refinement Dao Venerable's great supernatural powers, he didn't believe that the sect's Dao Venerable hadn't noticed Bi Ming Kong Sang's traces when capturing that half-step Void Refinement cultivator. Either he was disdainful, or he did it intentionally.

After a moment's thought, Chen Beiwu shook his head and decided to deal with the Shadow Leopard in front of him first.

"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I'll give you a chance."

Chen Beiwu gently tapped the Shadow Leopard's forehead, sealing its movements with the Clear Source Yuanzheng Essence, and said calmly, "If you can help me find the exact location of the Kongji Mother Tree, I can spare your life."

Logically speaking, quasi -Sixth Tier Dao woods like Biming Kongsang would only appear in the Great Thousand World, and it would be almost impossible for them to appear in the Middle Thousand World and become the core of a Middle Thousand World.

But the world is full of wonders, and unexpected things always happen.

Now that he has fortuitous opportunity ahead and the Dao Venerable has promised to protect him, Chen Beiwu naturally wants to give it a try.

The Shadow Leopard nodded, growled twice, and gave a submissive look, indicating its willingness to cooperate.

As long as Chen Beiwu is willing to return the Kongqing Vine, everything is negotiable.

"Give an inch and you'll want a mile."

Chen Beiwu glanced at the Shadow Leopard, then gently pressed his fingertip downwards, continuing to apply pressure.

In an instant, the powerful, clear Clear Source Yuanzheng surged forth, causing the skull of the Shadow Leopard to crack and its eyes to flash with pain.

On the other side, at the core of the Kongming Realm.

Outside the location of the Kongji Mother Tree, a charming figure quietly appeared. It was none other than Yuyue Guardian, who had recently parted ways with Chen Beiwu to search for treasures. "Hehe, it seems I've won this match!"

Yuyue's delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and she smiled broadly.

She dared to make a bet with Beiwu because of her keen Spiritual Perception, which allowed her to detect the aura of the quasi- Sixth Tier Dao Wood in advance.

Therefore, in order to take advantage of the chaos and win the bet, she randomly chose a direction to mislead Chen Beiwu before setting off.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vigor resonated with a humming sound, the Void twisted and tore apart, and countless spatial turbulences erupted.

Yuyue reacted immediately, lightly striking forward with her palm to forcefully suppress the raging spatial turbulence. Then, she took two steps back to create distance.

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

Just then, six figures appeared, their hands forming hand seals.

"The Kongji Weizhen, advantageous in both location and timing!"

The surging True Form of Law Power and the Dharma-Form Origin Awareness converged with each other, and with the help of the power of the Kongji Mother Tree, they formed a Creation array with earth-shattering power.

A blue light spread out, transforming into an invisible giant net that covered the location where Yuyue was, causing her shoulders to sag slightly and her aura to drop sharply.

"Three Perfection Demon Venerable and three Spirit Transformation Peak True Venerable —six cultivators in total—think they can stop me? That's wishful thinking," Yuyue said bluntly.

There is a gap between Half-Step Void Refinement and Peerless Demon Venerable.

Peerless Demon Venerable of her caliber could easily defeat Perfection Demon Venerable whose cultivation level rivaled that of Cultivation Magnate, without any powerful opponents of the same realm interfering. "You Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are truly arrogant!"

The gaunt Old Man snorted coldly, "With the Great Proving Kongji Chaos-Spirit True Formation bestowed by our ancestor, this path is temporarily blocked."

The other five powerful figures remained silent, but their Hand Seal shifted, and they coordinated with the withered Old Man to unleash the full power of the Chaotic God True Array. They had come under the orders of the Kongming Ancestor, with only one objective: to hold off this fiend for a month, buying time for the Kongming Realm to survive. "You think you can stop me with just a single array?"

Yuyue scoffed, feeling that she had been looked down upon.

Very well, since these natives are so ignorant, she has no choice but to get a little serious and let these weaklings understand what Peerless Demon Venerable truly is.

Rumble!

The instant Yuyue's thought arose, the intent of life and death manifested, forming a vast and mighty Death Spirit Vigor Lotus, which attacked the six people simultaneously.

The six dared not be careless, but their reaction was a beat too slow. They could only use the Great Proving Kongji Chaos-Spirit True Formation to meet the attack head-on and forcibly block it.

"Pfft!"

With just one collision, two Spirit Transformation Venerable couldn't withstand even a wisp of Formation Arts leaking from the formation, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.

Realizing this, the two weaker Nascent Spirit Transformation immediately unleashed the Heaven and Earth Manifestation to heal their injuries, returning to their Peak condition and continuing to mobilize the power of the great formation. "As expected, we couldn't hold them off."

Upon witnessing this scene, the Kongming Ancestor, residing within the Kongji Mother Tree, sighed softly.

It's just a Kongming Realm realm; I gave it away, and that's that.

He originally intended to live in seclusion with his disciples, fleeing into the endless Star River with the Kongji Mother Tree.

Unfortunately, the beast pursued him relentlessly as soon as it crossed the boundary, giving him no time to escape.

"This fiend is troublesome and ruthless, a peerless demon. Even if I were to personally take action, I might not be able to defeat it."

After some Kongming Ancestor looked across endless space and "saw" Chen Beiwu in the far distance.

"This child possesses unparalleled Innate Talent, but his cultivation is shallow. He could be captured and held hostage to buy time."

The Kongming Ancestor conceived this thought, a great terror suddenly descended upon his mind, causing his face to turn slightly pale.

His intuition told him that if he made a move against this young man, he might repeat the same mistake and become the next Violet Gold Ancestor.

"This won't do, that won't do, am I, the ancestor, just supposed to sit here and wait to die?" Kongming Ancestor's face was grim.

On the other side, an endless desert.

With the Shadow Leopard leading the way, no cultivator or Demon Beast dared to block their path.

Chen Beiwu's journey was smooth sailing, without the slightest disturbance.

Until Chen Beiwu and his group crossed the desert and arrived at a Lone Peak.

On Lone Peak, there is a pavilion where a cultivator with red lips and white teeth, petite in stature, and no different from a child, lies asleep.

Such Fortune is truly rare!

Chen Beiwu stopped in his tracks, looked at the pavilion, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was because a vast expanse of purple qi rose near the pavilion, forming ethereal, fairy-like auspicious clouds.

A faint golden halo appeared at the edges of these auspicious clouds, as if the sound of thunder was gradually rising, or as if they were covering the entire territory Firmament, containing an indescribable power. However, in addition to the Purple Qi Auspicious Clouds, there was also a pitch-black hole hanging high above the auspicious clouds, constantly swallowing the Nebulous Purple Qi, which made people feel a strong threat of dark clouds covering the sky and great disaster imminent.

"Kongming Ancestor!!!"

Upon seeing the children inside the pavilion, the Shadow Leopard's pupils contracted in delight.

Although it did not become a disciple of the Kongming Ancestor, its close friend Lüxing True Venerable, Personal Disciple the Kongming Ancestor.

Given this Cause and Effect, if it were to ask for help, it might have a chance to survive.

Unexpectedly, it only moved its throat slightly before seeing the slightly warning look in the eyes of the Kongming Ancestor, and its heart turned slightly cold.

"This place is called Gushan Pavilion, one of the core dragon Dragon Vein of the Kongming Realm, containing a Guyuan Blessed Land."

"Every thousand years, strange phenomena appear in the Guyuan Blessed Land, attracting many Demon King to gather and seize the opportunity to break free from the Bloodline of death and be reborn, thus gaining the fortuitous opportunity become Demon Venerable."

At this point, Kongming Ancestor stood up, looked at Chen Beiwu, and chuckled, "Judging by the time, this thousand-year phenomenon happens to occur today. Fellow Daoist, would you like to enjoy it together?"

???"

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Leopard was slightly taken aback.

It knew that the strange phenomenon at Guyuan Blessed Land only appeared once every thousand years, but wasn't the last time this phenomenon appeared three hundred years ago?

Could it be that it's gotten confused from sleeping all these years and misremembered the dates?

That shouldn't be the case. It never misses such a rare and lively scene as the opening of the Guyuan Blessed Land and the Demon King Contention for fortuitous opportunity.

"Such a rare phenomenon is quite uncommon; having the opportunity to witness it, I naturally want to take a look."

Chen Beiwu did not refuse, wanting to see what tricks the other party was up to.

As for taking action?

With the promise from the Void Refinement Dao Venerable, Chen Beiwu didn't think a so-called "Union with the Dao" cultivator could harm him.

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat. Today is in the west, at dusk and nightfall, which is when extraordinary phenomena will appear in the world."

With a wave of his sleeve, the Kongming Ancestor invited Chen Beiwu to take a seat.

The stronger a person is, the harder it is for them to bow their head.

But he is different; his true form is the flexible and adaptable Tengyuan Qushan.

If things are truly beyond his control, cooperating with these mysterious and unapproachable Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons might not be a bad option.

The premise is that these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons can communicate and have their own rules, and will not use surrendered powerful individuals as medicine to refine them into elixirs.

Today's meeting is the glimmer of hope that the Kongming Ancestor finally discovered after tens of thousands of divinations.

To this end, he did not hesitate to mobilize the Origin the Kongji Mother Tree and forcibly activate the dragon Dragon Vein of the Guyuan Blessed Land, just to invite this Heavenly Prodigy from Beyond the Domain, Guan Chen Beiwu, without any politeness, to sit down on the Jade Platform.

Seeing this, the Kongming Ancestor clenched his right fist, with the back of his fist facing upwards, and lightly tapped the Jade Table with his five fingers.

In an instant, the clouds and mist surged, and one after another, beautiful and graceful Maiden walked in carrying jade trays. They then bowed respectfully and poured tea. Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered, and he realized that these Maiden were all excellent cultivators who practiced Daoism in seclusion, did not consume blood food, and possessed a pure and spiritual aura. Among them, two were even Plant Spirit whose Dao Practice had reached the Demon King Realm, capable of easily dominating a region.

Just then, a strange movement came from Chen Beiwu's Heaven and Earth Manifestation, as if it were in accordance with the opportune time and the favorable location, and was about to emerge into the world.
