Beast Taming Tower

Chapter 2452 Old Friend, Reunion with Jiang Yue

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Qu is joking. My talent for cultivation is really quite ordinary. However, I have indeed made some progress during this period of seclusion."

Chen Xuan laughed and laughed.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was unwilling to talk too much about his cultivation, Qu Lin and Qu Wanru did not press him further.

Soon, Chen Xuan invited the two into the courtyard.

After the three of them were seated, Qu Wanru asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, have you been settling in well during this time?"

"Hehe, thank you for your concern, Fairy. This period has been quite good for me. It's a pity that I've almost used up my cultivation resources. I plan to go out for a trip soon and look for suitable rare and precious herbs in White Crow City!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Oh? If that's the case, then after I finish what I'm doing, I can accompany you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for a stroll. To be honest, although I am the Holy Maiden of the White Crow Clan, I am quite familiar with White Crow City. In fact, I know quite a few black markets, where the goods sold are quite good!"

"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Fairy."

Chen Xuan did not directly reject Qu Wanru's overtures.

After all, he really needs a guide right now.

If Qu Wanru could really accompany him to those dark markets to find what he needed, it would be quite good for Chen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I've been so busy lately that I only just had time to visit you. Please don't mind."

"In addition, there is something else I need to discuss with you, fellow Daoist."

Qu Wanru's expression suddenly became extremely solemn as she spoke.

This gave Chen Xuan a feeling that trouble was about to befall him.

However, given that he was in Baiwu City, Chen Xuan couldn't refuse directly.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Xuan said, "Fairy, if there is anything you need, please speak frankly."

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen is so straightforward. Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. One of our White Crow Clan's elders wishes to meet you. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen would do us the honor?"

"The Baiwu tribe's worshipper wants to see me?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

But he quickly refused, saying, "If it's just some trivial matter, let's forget about it. I'm actually quite averse to trouble!"

“This… Fellow Daoist Chen, this person from our Baiwu tribe is her retainer…”

"Ahem, if the fairy has nothing else, then please leave!"

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Although Qu Wanru looked disappointed, seeing Chen Xuan's resolute attitude, she had no choice but to leave with Qu Lin.

After seeing the two off, Chen Xuan had no more interest in going to Baiwu City.

Instead, he returned to the secret room and carefully pondered his conversation with Qu Wanru.

"The White Crow Clan's worshippers? Who? I have no connection with the White Crow Clan. I only came to the White Crow Clan this time because I happened to be passing by."

"Besides, the White Crow Clan is currently locked in a fierce battle with the Black Crow Clan. If I get involved in the fight between the two clans, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble!"

"In that case, it is certainly not wrong for me to directly reject all the White Crow Clan's requests!"

Thinking about this, Chen Xuan felt much more at ease.

He owes the Baiwu people nothing.

There's no need to be overly cautious about anything.

If it were the Baiwu tribe, and they really wanted to use force, Chen Xuan wouldn't mind going on a killing spree in Baiwu City.

There was silence for a while, and several days later, Chen Xuan, who was cultivating in the Immortal Beast Tower, was awakened again.

The next instant, he vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already outside the courtyard.

At this moment, a true immortal dressed in black robes stood quietly at the entrance of the courtyard.

The person was completely shrouded in a wide black robe.

She was also wearing a black veil on her face.

It looks very mysterious.

However, the aura emanating from him was only at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

This made Chen Xuan look surprised.

"Who are you looking for?"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

"I am a worshipper of the White Crow Clan. Last time, the Holy Maiden was entrusted by me to invite you to a chat. But you refused to do me the honor. So I had no choice but to come in person."

The man in the black robe said calmly.

Hearing this voice, Chen Xuan appeared to remain calm.

A sudden, inexplicable shock ran through me.

The moment Chen Xuan activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye, he immediately saw the face hidden in black.

"It turned out to be..."

Chen Xuan was shocked.

Before he could speak, the man in black robes spoke again: "Fellow Daoist, could we discuss this in more detail?"

"can!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

He let the man in black follow him into the courtyard.

Wow!

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Xuan activated the protective array in the courtyard instantly.

Chen Xuan, however, did not stop and walked directly into the reception room, still wearing his black robe.

After the man in black robes was seated, Chen Xuan said with delight, "I never imagined that after so many years, Fairy Jiang would become a member of the White Crow Clan. It truly surprises me!"

The black-robed figure before them was none other than Jiang Yue, one of the three realm lords of the human race in the Spirit Realm back then.

Back when Chen Xuan ascended to the True Immortal Realm, Jiang Yue also advanced to the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

However, Chen Xuan never expected that he would meet Jiang Yue again in the True Immortal Realm.

“Senior Chen, I never expected that we would have such a connection. I saw you that day when you activated the sacred image in Baiwu City.”

"However, as you know, I am now a revered member of the White Crow Clan. Naturally, I cannot easily see you."

"That's why I made up an excuse to have the Holy Maiden of the White Crow Clan come and invite you for a chat."

"I didn't expect you to refuse, senior."

As Jiang Yue spoke, her expression towards Chen Xuan became extremely complex.

Back when Chen Xuan and Jiang Yue first met, Chen Xuan's cultivation level was far inferior to Jiang Yue's.

However, in a short period of time, Chen Xuan, through various opportunities and his own efforts, has already begun to stand out among the human race.

Even the demon race, which had a very good relationship with the human race, benefited greatly from Chen Xuan's rise.

In an instant, Chen Xuan became a legend among the human race.

In addition, because Jiang Yue's cultivation method was related to divination, she never had the opportunity to break through to the Mahayana stage.

It was Chen Xuan who, by interfering with the heavenly secrets through his own fortune, enabled Jiang Yue to successfully advance to the Mahayana stage.

This paved the way for her to advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage later on.

For Jiang Yue, Chen Xuan was practically her benefactor.

Even after so many years apart, her respect and affection for Chen Xuan remained unchanged.

Seeing Jiang Yue looking at him with a resentful expression, Chen Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Ahem, I had no idea you had become the Holy Maiden of the White Crow Clan."

"If I had known your identity earlier, I would have gone to see you too."

Chen Xuan coughed awkwardly.

Soon, as if remembering something, Chen Xuan immediately asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who divined for Qu Wanru to find a great opportunity should be you, right?"

"Hehe, Senior Chen has such keen insight. It was indeed me who performed the divination for Qu Wanru. Over the years, I have remained in the Baiwu Clan, which is how I achieved what I have today. I must say, the Holy Maiden of the Baiwu Clan has been of great help to me."

At this point, for some reason, Jiang Yue's expression suddenly darkened.

Before Chen Xuan could speak, Jiang Yue continued, "Senior Chen, you and I are both ascended True Immortals. You know how difficult life is for us ascended True Immortals in the True Immortal Realm."

"If it weren't for the Holy Maiden's help all these years, I probably would have perished long ago after ascending to the True Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately frowned.

"No, most of the ascended cultivators in our Spirit Realm will appear in the Tianmeng Mountains after they ascend."

"Even if something goes wrong, it will be in the Southern Immortal Realm. But here, it is in the Boundless Sea."

"Did something happen to you during your ascension?"

Jiang Yue nodded seriously.

"Senior Chen, when I ascended, it wasn't a normal ascension. Back then, when I was traveling, I accidentally got caught in a cloud of dark mist. When I woke up, I found that the black mist around me had dissipated. After that, I learned that I had actually ascended to the Boundless Sea of ​​the True Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan inquired in detail about what exactly the black mist that had swept away Jiang Yue was.

After listening, Chen Xuan was stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who took you away, Fairy, should be the infamous Extreme Mist from the Boundless Sea."

"It is said that the Extreme Fog only appears in the Boundless Sea. Once caught in it, no matter what level of cultivation a powerful person is, they will disappear."

"And you are lucky to have survived the extreme fog."

"Fairy, you have survived a great calamity, and you are sure to have good fortune in the future. I believe you will go much further on the path of cultivation."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue's expression immediately lit up with joy.

"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Chen," Jiang Yue said happily.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan inquired about the situation of the human race in the Spirit Realm.

Upon learning that the human race in the Spirit Realm had become the largest race in the Spirit Realm, and that the number of human True Immortals was dozens of times greater than before, Chen Xuan felt extremely gratified.

The only thing that troubled Chen Xuan was that many of his old friends in the spirit world had passed away due to their impending death.

Another portion perished under the lightning tribulation.

"Senior Chen, do you still remember True Monarch Yu Ling?"

Jiang Yue suddenly said.

“This… I certainly remember. He is the patriarch of our Spirit Control Sect. He has been of great help to me. If it weren’t for him, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to ascend to the True Immortal Realm.”

"Senior Chen, didn't you notice that True Monarch Yu Ling is somewhat extraordinary?"

"This... I wonder which aspect the fairy is referring to?"

"Naturally, in any aspect!"

Jiang Yue's expression turned extremely serious as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately took it seriously.

The intersection between himself and the Spirit Lord kept surfacing from the depths of Chen Xuan's mind.

However, Chen Xuan pondered for a long time but still couldn't find anything wrong with Yu Ling Zhenjun.

"Senior Chen, True Monarch Yu Ling has always been of great help to our human race."

"Moreover, we all grew up under the protection of True Lord Yu Ling. Originally, I shouldn't have been so suspicious of Senior True Lord Yu Ling."

"Only after I ascended to the True Immortal Realm, as my cultivation improved, did I suddenly understand something."

"Senior Chen, do you think that True Lord Yu Ling and True Man Wu Xing are really the same person?"

When Jiang Yue asked him that question, Chen Xuan immediately felt that something was not quite right.

After carefully recalling his interactions with the Spirit Master once more, a hint of hesitation appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes.

"Fairy, after hearing what you say, I also think that True Lord Yu Ling and True Man Wu Xing should indeed not be the same person!"

"Although their faces are very similar, and their memories of many things are exactly the same."

"However, because of our low cultivation level at the time, we were never able to see through the reason."

"But one thing is certain. Whether or not the Spirit Master and the Five Elements True Man are the same person, they have no ill intentions towards us humans or us younger generations!"

"If it weren't for their protection of humanity, humanity would probably have been wiped out long ago."

Chen Xuan's words were fair and to the point.

Even Jiang Yue nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Senior Chen is absolutely right. I just felt that True Monarch Yu Ling and True Man Wu Xing were indeed a bit strange!"

"Besides, the reason I came to see you, Senior Chen, is not just to catch up."

"I have one more thing I need your help with!"
