A promise of Void Refinement

"I can't hide it from you after all."

The Heaven-Seeing Great Sage sighed, and the vast Daoist energy that had sealed off heaven and earth dissipated.

The next instant, under Chen Beiwu's gaze, countless emerald lights converged, forming a figure in emerald robes whose features were obscured. "Roar?" (This is the Hunyuan Great Demon?)

Golden Egg swallowed hard, his expression revealing his nervousness.

Although it was usually stubborn, it was well aware of what a being of the level of Hunyuan Great Demon truly represented.

It's no exaggeration to say that despite its 34,000 years of Dao Practice, making it a mid-stage Demon Venerable, it was no match for a mere breath from Hunyuan Great Demon. Iron Egg lowered his head slightly, avoiding direct eye contact with the figure in the emerald robe.

The Unseen told it that this Primordial Hunyuan Great Demon disliked the Fire-Attribute Demon Venerable, to the point that it could vaguely sense the rejection from the Kongji Mother Tree. Fortunately, the Sect had the Void Refinement Dao Venerable descend, so no matter how rampant this Hunyuan Great Demon was, it probably wouldn't dare to start a war lightly.

"Oh no!" (It's over!)

Shocked, Xuele instinctively covered his head with his hands.

If Hunyuan Great Demon suddenly appears, won't it be unable to obtain the Kongji Mother Heart that it has been longing for?

Of the four little ones present, only Zhiling wrinkled her nose slightly, her gaze constantly shifting between Dao Venerable Guangcheng and Heaven-Seeing Great Sage.

Strangely, she could sense a trace of her father's aura from the sect's Dao Venerable.

Could it be that this sect's Dao Venerable helped her when she was undergoing her bloodline tribulation?

"What terrifying Fortune!"

At the same time, Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes, instinctively avoiding the figure in the green robe.

The reason was simple: the Fortune surrounding the other party was extremely terrifying, the strongest Fortune Chen Beiwu had ever seen in his life.

The primordial energy of Mysterious Yellow permeates heaven and earth, and is the breath of all things.

A faint aura of Azure Nether light appeared and disappeared, causing even the heavens to hesitate to rise high.

The Crimson Radiance aura is neither metal nor fire, yet it can scorch one 'Primordial Spirit.

The three energies appear together, the three colors flow and merge again, forming the Qi and Fortune of the Void Refinement Dao Venerable, which naturally possesses a strange and Might.

Even though Chen Beiwu possessed the Nine-Breath Qi Ingestion Divine Ability, he didn't dare to look at the figure in the green robe for a moment, and could only follow suit and bow to the Yuyue Guardian beside him.

"Disciple Beiwu / Protector Yuyue greets Dao Venerable Guangcheng."

No need for such formalities.

Dao Venerable Guangcheng waved his sleeve, his gaze falling on the figure in the emerald robe. He said with interest, "Even if the Ancient Yao Realm suffered heavy damage and was almost destroyed, it wouldn't warrant you, a Demon Saint, secretly hiding in a Emperor Sequence Middle Thousand World."

"Since you had already detected my presence, why didn't you attack me directly back then?" Heaven-Seeing Great Sage.

"We are both at the Primordial Unity This Seat defeating you is not difficult for me, but to truly subdue you, I am still slightly lacking."

Dao Venerable Guangcheng bluntly stated, "Furthermore, This Seat am also curious about what treasures exist in this world that would make a severely injured Hunyuan Great Demon risk everything to stay here?"

Although the Kongji Mother Tree is a near- Sixth Tier Heaven and Earth Dao Medicine with endless wonders, it is nothing to a Hunyuan Great Demon, let alone someone willing to risk their life for it.

However, even after Dao Venerable Guangcheng deduced and divined the Heavenly Secrets several times, he still failed to detect the hidden problems within the Emperor Sequence Middle Thousand World. It would be better to let the younger generation of Jade Purity cause some trouble, which might lead to the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage.

The Heaven-Seeing Great Sage glanced at Chen Beiwu and Yuyue, and said casually, "The Jade Purity Immortal Sect has considerable resources, but my Ancient Demon Royal Court is no less formidable. If you want to seize that supreme treasure, you, Dao Venerable Guangcheng, are not qualified."

Heaven-Seeing Great Sage finished speaking, a faint voice slowly rang out.

"Oh, if I were to be This Seat as well, do you think I'm qualified?"

Upon hearing Heaven-Seeing Great Sage's expression changed slightly, and his heart sank.

Although he had anticipated that the Jade Purity Immortal Sect would not send an ordinary Void Refinement Dao Venerable to deal with him, he never expected that this being would actually descend upon him.

"Primordial Origin Dao Venerable!"

Heaven-Seeing Great Sage slowly uttered the four words, the wariness in his eyes vanished almost entirely.

The reason is simple: even among those Void Refinement Dao Venerable, there are different levels.

Even though Chi was the Fifth Elder of the Ancient Demon Realm Royal Court, he had no chance of winning against such a terrifying being as the Primordial Origin Dao Venerable.

"How could an existence like the Primordial Origin Dao Venerable care about a mere Middle Thousand World?"

Faced with such a cruel reality, the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage fell silent.

Even during the fierce battle between the Ancient Yao Realm and the Heavenly Abyss Realm, the Primordial Origin Dao Venerable only made one move, yet it made many Elder of the Royal Court understand what terror truly meant.

Now severely injured and no longer at his peak, how could Chi possibly Contention with such a being?

"Tread!"

"Tread!"

"Tread!"

The Primordial Origin Dao Venerable stood in the Void, his gaze sweeping almost imperceptibly over Chen Beiwu.

Having reached Chi's level, there are few things in this world that Chi can value. Chen Beiwu, who is expected to shoulder the Jade Purity Dao Lineage, is one of them. Otherwise, a single Jian Heavenly Immortal Wood would not be enough to send Chi's clone down to the mortal realm.

Of course, if the Demon Emperor Baxia were to resurrect and lead billions of Demon Race to invade the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, it would be worthwhile for Chi to take action.

"Could we talk? I know a lot of information about the Myriad Heavens Realm." The Heaven-Seeing Great Sage's attitude changed drastically.

"Roar!" (Is this the power of the Primordial Origin Dao Venerable?!)

Seeing this, Golden Egg couldn't help but marvel.

Chen Beiwu glanced at the Golden Egg and signaled it to behave itself through the Companion Beast Contract.

The power of the Void Refinement Dao Venerable is unfathomable; even a thought in one's mind can be perceived.

"There's no need. Although the Myriad Heavens Realm are powerful, they are no match for the Immortal Alliance."

Dao Venerable Guangcheng's eyes gleamed with Divine Light as he speculated, "Could the Baxia Blood Emperor Armor left behind by the Demon Emperor Baxia be in your possession?"

No!

Heaven-Seeing Great Sage was shaking his head, he chose to be frank. "I'm about to die."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu and the Golden Egg both felt their hearts skip a beat.

What's going on?

The Hunyuan Great Demon itself is a manifestation of the Great Dao; with a single thought, it can reshape the Sun and Moon, and its physical body can traverse Star River. How could such a majestic being also die of old age? Yu Moon God did not change much.

She had once followed the Void Refinement Dao Venerable and knew some secrets.

For example, everything has an end to its lifespan. Even a Great Thousand World will gradually crumble under the erosion of time, and the Void Refinement Dao Venerable is no exception. Perhaps only the immeasurable Immortal recorded in the legends of the Immortal Alliance can break free from this cage and obtain eternity that even Great Thousand World cannot reach. "Join the Jade Purity Immortal Sect This Seat, and I may save you once," the Primordial Origin Dao Venerable said calmly.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest flashed in the eyes of the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage, who asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

Dao Venerable Guangcheng chuckled lightly, "Why would I lie to you?"

Having received the answer, the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage was not annoyed, but said solemnly, "If that is truly the case, I am willing to become a disciple of the Primordial Origin Beginning."

"That's not necessary."

The Primordial Origin Dao Venerable's gaze swept over Chen Beiwu.

Noticing the gaze, the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage frowned slightly.

Chi was willing to become a Primordial Origin Dao Venerable Daozun because Primordial Origin Dao Venerable was powerful enough.

If it were anyone else who had spoken, Chi Ning would have refused to yield even unto death.

"The Great Dao Origin within you is so weak; it's mostly used for nurturing offspring," the Primordial Origin Dao Venerable warned. "But with my This Seat, nurturing offspring will hold little meaning for you. You might as well hand over the Heavenly Immortal Sprout you're nurturing."

"So that's how it is. No wonder you never tried to escape." Guangcheng Dao Ancestor suddenly understood.

It wasn't that the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage didn't want to escape, but rather that he was using the power of the Kongming Realm to nurture offspring, intending to use supreme Daoist techniques to reincarnate, so there was nowhere for him to escape.

"Can."

After a moment's hesitation, the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage did not refuse.

While bearing offspring is important, it is not as important as one's own life.

If given a choice, Chi would rather not become a Jian Heavenly Immortal seedling and start all over again.

"Buzz!"

After the negotiations concluded, both Primordial Origin Dao Venerable and Heaven-Seeing Great Sage transformed into streaks of light and vanished.

"Well done."

With a word of praise, Dao Venerable Guangcheng glanced at the disheveled Great Void Retreating Walker, who had revealed his true form, and with a flick of his sleeve, a stream of light instantly landed in front of Chen Beiwu, revealing a crystal Jade Slip.

"According to the Sect rules, recruiting an ultimate Demon Venerable will grant two points of Jade Purity Immortal Merit."

"Thank you..."

Before Chen Beiwu could finish speaking, Dao Venerable Guangcheng's figure flashed Great Void Retreating Walker.

Only at this moment did Yuyue Guardian breathe a sigh of relief, patting her chest as she reminded him, "It was already agreed that the Kongji Mother Heart is mine. As for the Kongji Mother Tree, it's of little use to me; you can take it if you want."

Chen Beiwu did not yield.

The Kongji Mother Tree and Xuele are extremely compatible.

If used properly, Xuele's Dao Practice can be further increased, and he may even reach the Peak Demon Venerable barrier.

However, in order not to let Yuyue Guardian suffer any loss, Chen Beiwu offered to share some of the Jade Purity Immortal Merit with her.

"No need. The Kongji Mother Heart is the core essence of this Quasi-Dao Medicine. The rest of the Kongji Mother Tree is not worth a single drop of Jade Purity Immortal Merit." Yuyue quickly refused, bringing up the Chief Affairs Officer: "By the way, do you remember our previous agreement?"

"Of course I remember."

"There are only five months left until the two-year deadline. Should we end the agreement now, or continue it?" Yuyue blinked, her expression adorable.

There is an upper limit to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Emperor Sequence Middle Thousand World.

Aside from the Heavenly Immortal Seedling planted by the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage, the Kongji Mother Heart in her hand is undoubtedly the most precious treasure in this world.

This also means that she successfully won the bet with Beiwu.

"You won." Chen Beiwu smiled.

It was just a game of chance, a gamble that was arranged for fun. If you lose, you lose.

"Then can I make a request?" Yuyue looked up at Chen Beiwu, her expression serious.

Chen Beiwu: "Okay, but the demands can't be too unreasonable."

Upon hearing this, Yuyue frowned and began to ponder.

"Can't think of anything for now?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Things shouldn't happen more than three times.

If Yuyue's attitude is firm, he might agree to the Contract.

The prerequisite is that Yuyue allows him to attain the Half-Step Void Refinement before they can form Companion Beast Contract.

"No, it's just that I think this request is a bit excessive."

Yuyue tapped her fingers somewhat embarrassedly, not at all like a Slaughter and decisive Peerless Demon Venerable.

"Tell me about it?" Chen Beiwu's curiosity was piqued.

Yuyue pursed her lips, leaned close to Chen Beiwu's ear, and whispered, "If you eventually attain the Void Refinement and become Dao Venerable, could you mentor me and help me break through?"

￥???"

Chen Beiwu took a step back, looking at Yuyue with surprise.

He had thought it was about signing Companion Beast Contract, but he hadn't expected that Yuyue Guardian would have so much confidence in him!

"Roar!" "Hey!" "Eek!" (It wasn't a Companion Beast Contract after all!)

Golden Egg, Xuele, and Zhiling were also slightly taken aback, feeling that Yuyue Guardian's thoughts were hard to understand.

Beiwu is currently only at the Spirit Transformation Late-Stage True Venerable Realm, how could he suddenly have jumped to the Void Refinement?

"Is this request too much?"

Yuyue pouted, creating a stark contrast to the image of a powerful Demon Venerable being coquettish.

"It's not a matter of going too far. You should know how difficult it is to attain enlightenment and Void Refinement, right?" Chen Beiwu asked curiously.

"Of course I know, that's why I said 'if'." Yuyue raised her head, her tone quite proud.

Chen Beiwu rubbed his forehead. "Your request is a bit too far ahead of its time."

But at this moment, Chen Beiwu finally understood why Yuyue Guardian had always treated him differently.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Beiwu asked the question that had been bothering him, "Why not establish Companion Beast Contract?"

"Because I asked you three times before, and you refused each time. Three strikes and you're done; I don't want to put you in a difficult position." Yuyue smiled innocently.

Golden Egg was stunned; Yuyue Guardian's move was indeed quite powerful.

It knew that Beiwu was always swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force, and would most likely be moved by Yuyue's words.

"Okay, I promise."

Sure enough, the next second, Beiwu's voice suddenly rang out, agreeing to Yuyue's request.

"Huh?" "Eek?" (You actually agreed to that request?)

Xuele and Zhiling were also greatly surprised.

It is precisely because they believe that Beiwu will be able to attain the Void Refinement and become Dao Venerable that they feel it is a loss for Beiwu to agree to this request now. A loss? No!

Chen Beiwu looked at Yuyue's face and thought to himself.

Everything in the world has Cause and Effect.

If he fails to achieve the Void Refinement in the future, this request today will only be a joke.

Conversely, if he were to achieve the status of Void Refinement Dao Venerable in the future, even if Yuyue Guardian didn't make this request today, he would still offer him some assistance out of consideration for their past relationship.

To put it bluntly, in Chen Beiwu's view, Yuyue Guardian's request was practically meaningless.

"Really?"

Yuyue stared blankly at Chen Beiwu, somewhat incredulous.

Don't be fooled by the fact that her cultivation level is now far superior to Beiwu's; she could crush the latter with a single kick.

However, if we really talk about the hope of Void Refinement, Yuyue feels that she is not even one-tenth as good as Beiwu. Otherwise, she would not have stayed as the Peerless Demon Venerable for so many years and become a famous Dharma Protector Killing God of the Sect.

"Otherwise, do you think I'm a person who doesn't keep his word?" Chen Beiwu teased.

Possessing the power of Nine-Breath Chaos, his goal is not merely to Void Refinement Dao Venerable.

If possible, he would like to see the scenery above the Void Refinement Dao Venerable realm.

Compared to this grand goal, what does it matter if we help out our close friends and family?

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a green light flashed before Chen Beiwu's eyes.

Yuyue held the Kongji Mother Heart in her hands and presented it to herself.

"Here, this is for you." Yuyue tilted her head and said in a simple voice, "You can't refuse. Consider this a memento of our agreement today." With that, Yuyue directly stuffed the Kongji Mother Heart into Chen Beiwu's hand and then clapped her hands.

She wanted to attain the Primordial Unity, but what she lacked was not Kongji Mother Heart heavenly materials and earthly treasures like the Mother Heart of Emptiness, but rather an understanding of the Great Dao of Life-and-Death Reincarnation Great Dao.

Therefore, rather than leaving this treasure idle in a vault, it would be better to use it to help Beiwu.

"Huh? (This works too?)"

Xuele couldn't help but look at Chen Beiwu, a thought forming in his mind.

Could it be that all of this was part of Beiwu's plan?
