Chapter 539: Beast-Taming Unity Illusion Immortal Art

After returning to the Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo first used the Restriction to reseal the Cave Abode, then arranged the Pills that Luo Lie had given him in front of him according to their different classifications! Only then did he finally ingest that "Heavenly Stem Spirit-Refining Pill"! The efficacy of this pill was truly extraordinary; two months later, Zhang Nuo only felt that the primordial spirit within his Nascent Soul had grown by more than double.

When he once again channeled the Inner Scene Art to cultivate, it was smooth sailing, and he reached the realm of the Sixth Layer with great ease! This massive change almost made Zhang Nuo cry out; the Inner Scene Art only had seven layers in total, and now he had leaped to the Sixth Layer, just one layer away from complete mastery!

Now, the strength of Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense could fully contend with a cultivator at the middle stage of Integration! If a cultivator like Yan Baiyu were to compete with him in Divine Sense again, a single full-force strike would be enough to make the opponent collapse to the ground, unable to rise!

Seeing that the preparations were nearly complete, Zhang Nuo raised his right hand, and the "Pure Nether Divine Tree" grew out from his palm; at this moment, the tree bore several Golden Core Fruits and Yuan Ying Fruits! These were all transformed from the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls of the cultivators Zhang Nuo had slain!

Under the constant cultivation of the Divine Tree, the Golden Core Fruits shimmered with Golden Light, while the Yuan Ying Fruits appeared similar to a Nascent Soul infant, though the immense power within them was several times greater than that of the Golden Core Fruits!

This time, cultivating the new technique required using these stocks! With a gentle movement of his palm, the Divine Tree flew out from his palm and landed on the ground in front of Zhang Nuo. Its branches and leaves swayed, and the entire Divine Tree grew to about a zhang in height! With the appearance of the Pure Nether Divine Tree, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi began to become turbulent, flowing one after another into the branches and leaves of the Divine Tree!

On the other hand, with a slight opening of his mouth, a ball of white spiritual light flew out, which was none other than the Nine Dragon Sword Case! After spinning around, the Sword Box hovered above his head! The majestic Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth instantly surged into the interior of the Sword Box!

After bringing out these two treasures that gathered Spiritual Qi, Zhang Nuo slowly closed his eyes! He entered a state of meditation! This seclusion was extremely important and could not afford the slightest mistake! After meditating for more than two hours, Zhang Nuo opened his eyes again! A look of determination flashed deep within his pupils like two bolts of lightning!

"Xuan Jin! Let's begin!"

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, a Golden Light flashed out, and upon landing, it was the form of Xuan Jin!

"Master! I am ready!"

Nodding heavily toward Zhang Nuo, Xuan Jin said expressionlessly! Zhang Nuo gave a soft grunt, then formed two hand seals, and various colors of radiance began to circulate continuously on his body! The first step to be taken next was also the most important step of the "Beast-Taming Unity Illusion Immortal Art"! Fusing with the Spirit Beast!

At the same time, Xuan Jin's body also shook, and countless Golden Lights rushed out from its body; slowly, Xuan Jin's body moved toward Zhang Nuo. Under the shroud of their respective radiances, the two bodies gradually began to become ethereal! In the end, they were almost invisible to the naked eye!

The only thing visible was the two balls of light merging together! At the very moment their bodies collided, Zhang Nuo only felt as if his flesh and blood were being blown apart, his blood flowing backward, and his meridians in chaos! He had a feeling of going into Qi deviation!

Only after running the Inner Scene Art several times in succession did this feeling barely subside! It was only the body that was fusing with the Spirit Beast, not devouring the Spirit Beast's primordial spirit as well, so the difficulty was increased!

The Spiritual Qi within Zhang Nuo's body clashed and repelled the Spiritual Qi within Xuan Jin's body, and soon the two had a feeling of being incompatible like water and fire!

Raising his hand to point lightly at a Golden Core Fruit on the Pure Nether Divine Tree, with a 'whoosh', the fruit was directly taken into Zhang Nuo's hand. Then, a streak of Golden Light rose on the surface of the Golden Core Fruit, wrapping Zhang Nuo and Xuan Jin, who were in the middle of fusing, inside it! Viewed from afar, it looked like a giant golden egg!

Continuously wrapped in the Golden Light, Zhang Nuo felt as if he had been reborn; his thoughts and spirit fell into a state of deep sleep, with only the "Beast-Taming Unity Illusion Immortal Art" within his body still silently circulating!

Three years later, the radiance on the surface of that large golden egg had dimmed significantly, and with a low shout coming from within the egg! The entire radiance was shaken away! Zhang Nuo's figure slowly landed on the ground! When his eyes opened, a metallic luster flashed within them!

"Xuan Jin, how do you feel?"

Zhang Nuo lowered his head as if talking to himself, but at this moment, a bizarre scene occurred! On the side of Zhang Nuo's head, another head suddenly emerged, which was none other than the appearance of Xuan Jin!

"It's alright, just that the fusion has only just finished, so I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it! It will be fine after a period of time!"

After speaking, Xuan Jin's head retracted back into Zhang Nuo's body! Fusing perfectly with Xuan Jin greatly increased Zhang Nuo's confidence in the "Beast-Taming Unity Illusion Immortal Art"!

After resting for half a year, once he and Xuan Jin had both adapted to the body, he began the fusion with the "Hell Butterfly"!

The reason Zhang Nuo chose to fuse with Xuan Jin first was because Xuan Jin had once used his body as a host, relying on absorbing Zhang Nuo's essence blood to grow! In a certain sense, the two should be of the same origin, so in terms of fusion, it was also superior to other Spirit Beasts!

As for the Hell Butterfly, as a Spirit Beast that resided in Zhang Nuo's body, although the fusion was not as smooth as with Xuan Jin, it was still better than with the Qiongqi!

Using the same method, Zhang Nuo fused the Hell Butterfly with his own body as well! However, this time the duration was not as long, taking only two years!

Because he already had the help of Xuan Jin within his body, this fusion was even smoother! Next, it was the turn of the Red Glow Fire Spirit!

This Fire Spirit, which contained the True Spirit Bloodline of a divine beast, was a tricky problem! Although Zhang Nuo's previous body had been tempered by the Red Glow Fire, Xuan Jin's body had not; for the sake of safety, he tempered his body with the Red Glow Fire once more, and seeing that everything was fine, he then began to fuse with the Red Glow Fire Spirit!

The Fire Spirit containing the True Spirit Bloodline of a divine beast was indeed extraordinary; one year later, just after the refinement was completed, a dark red radiance appeared on the surface of Zhang Nuo's skin, and at the same time, his state of mind felt an unprecedented sense of emptiness!

That feeling made Zhang Nuo feel as if he were in a realm where all things were empty! His mind shook slightly! Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face!

After fusing with the Red Glow Fire Spirit, Zhang Nuo had miraculously raised his cultivation to the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage! This unexpected surprise made him happy for a long time; it seemed that being able to advance should have some connection with the bloodline of the divine beast Phoenix. He had only obtained a drop of True Spirit Bloodline from Huo Lifeng back then, and it was already like this; if there were a bit more, perhaps the effect would be even better!

It took half a year for Zhang Nuo to stabilize his cultivation! The improvement in cultivation made Zhang Nuo even more convinced of the "Beast-Taming Unity Illusion Immortal Art"!

For the final step, he was going to fuse with the Qiongqi beast! Opening the Spirit Beast Bag, he saw that this fellow Qiongqi was actually still in a deep sleep, and the snoring sound coming from the bag's opening echoed endlessly throughout the Cave Abode!

"Master, should I wake it up?"

Xuan Jin's voice came from within his body!

"No need! It being so quiet is actually a great opportunity for fusion!"

Saying this, Zhang Nuo flipped his hand and poured, and Qiongqi fell to the ground; this big guy was still sleeping sweetly! Looking at the little green lights on its body, Zhang Nuo always had a bit of concern in his heart! What exactly was the green liquid in the Demon Refining Pool? Since it could quickly stimulate the growth of demon beasts, why had Xuan Jin slept for so long without waking up? Could it be that it drank too much of the green liquid?

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Nuo finally decided to fuse with Qiongqi; since those green liquids were useful to demon beasts, they must be useful to Qiongqi!

With his hands parted to the left and right, two clouds of rosy light surged from Zhang Nuo's sleeves, and the next moment, they directly wrapped Qiongqi inside! Immediately after, he pointed a single hand at the Pure Nether Divine Tree, and a Nascent Soul Fruit flew to his side!

Several magical spells were cast into this Nascent Soul Fruit one after another; the fruit gradually grew larger, and in the end, it was actually over three zhang tall. Zhang Nuo crawled into the interior of the rosy light that wrapped Qiongqi, and then both of them submerged into the giant Nascent Soul Fruit!

This feeling, the Yuan Ying Fruit was a bit like a pregnant woman, gestating the birth of a baby!

Qiongqi was completely different from the other Spirit Beasts; it only acknowledged Zhang Nuo as its master when it was young and did not have much physical contact! So, to fuse with it perfectly, one had to use a Nascent Soul Fruit!

The giant Yuan Ying Fruit stood in the Cave Abode, with spiritual light constantly flashing on its body. Additionally, the Pure Nether Divine Tree extended several tender green branches, wrapping around the Yuan Ying Fruit, and a continuous stream of life origin power was transmitted into its interior!

As for the Nine Dragon Sword Case, it sent the gathered Spiritual Qi into the body of the Yuan Ying Fruit as well! With the help of the two treasures that gathered Spiritual Qi, the Yuan Ying Fruit maintained a vigorous life force!

And Zhang Nuo and Qiongqi, wrapped in the five-colored rosy light, just stayed quietly inside the Nascent Soul Fruit!

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and moon like a shuttle! Five years later, this giant Yuan Ying Fruit began to wither, and the essence within the fruit was continuously being transmitted into the ball of light within the body!

'Bang!'

A soft, muffled sound came, and the ball of light inside the Yuan Ying Fruit suddenly burst open. At the same time, the entire Yuan Ying Fruit withered instantly! It turned into a pool of water stains and scattered onto the ground!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo stood in the water stains, his eyes slightly closed, his whole body stiff, just like a wooden or clay sculpture. He didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly one of his fingers moved, and immediately after, his whole body shook, forcibly expelling a wisp of pale black mist from his body!

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Nuo took a deep breath of the outside air! It felt so comfortable; after five years, he had also successfully fused with the Qiongqi beast! The shake just now was just to expel the impurities from his own body and Qiongqi's body!
