Beast Taming Tower

Chapter 2450 Holy Image, Spirit Awakening

"it is good!"

Chen Xuan agreed and, together with Qu Wanru, shot towards the dark city wall.

Once the two had crossed the high, dark city wall, Chen Xuan discovered a colossal statue, hundreds of feet tall, standing above Baiwu City.

The statue also depicts a powerful member of the Feathered Clan with wings.

However, the wings on his back were neither white nor black, but a shimmering gold.

It does bear some resemblance to the thunder wings behind Chen Xuan.

"what?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

His gaze quickly drifted to the statue in the distance.

However, the moment his gaze fell upon the statue, a terrifying sense of crisis suddenly surged from the depths of Chen Xuan's heart.

Almost simultaneously, the immortal power within Chen Xuan's body was stirred by an inexplicable force.

It shot wildly toward the distant statue.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically.

He forcefully activated the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique, attempting to suppress the fluctuations of immortal power within his body.

But it was all in vain.

Within Chen Xuan's body, the fully activated immortal power surged forth like a tidal wave.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on the huge statue.

boom!

A moment!

A dazzling golden light suddenly emanated from the giant statue.

This golden light, like a gleaming golden pillar, seemed to reach straight to the heavens.

Upon seeing this, the Baiwu tribesmen nearby all stood still with expressions of fear.

In that instant, Chen Xuan clearly saw that no matter how high their cultivation level, all the powerful members of the White Crow Clan were now standing there trembling.

Even Qu Wanru, the holy maiden of the Baiwu tribe who was standing beside him, couldn't help but change her expression drastically.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what did you just do? Why has our White Crow Clan's sacred image suddenly turned into this?"

Qu Wanru quickly sent a telepathic message to Chen Xuan.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan had no time to pay attention to any of this.

The immortal power in his dantian surged continuously toward the distant statue.

Even when he activated the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique, he couldn't stop it.

This filled him with inexplicable fear.

"This connection can't be severed? Could it be that this strange power is draining all my immortal energy?"

Chen Xuan was secretly troubled.

However, the statue's absorption of Chen Xuan's immortal power did not stop.

In fact, the speed is getting faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan saw that one-tenth of the immortal power in his dantian had been completely drained.

Although nine-tenths of the immortal power is still stored in the dantian.

However, Chen Xuan knew that if he didn't find a way to stop the consumption of immortal power, the immortal power in his dantian probably wouldn't last long.

"How to do this?"

Chen Xuan was extremely anxious.

He began to repeatedly try to sever the connection between himself and the statue.

No matter what he did, he couldn't disconnect.

Chen Xuan could only watch helplessly as the statue continuously absorbed the immortal power within him.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the statue's absorption of the immortal power from Chen Xuan's body suddenly weakened.

After a while, the phenomenon of the statue absorbing the immortal power from Chen Xuan's body finally disappeared.

However, Chen Xuan clearly felt that there was a strange connection between himself and the statue.

It's as if the statue can clearly perceive one's own emotions.

The person and the statue merged into one.

"This……"

Chen Xuan gently stretched out his arms, and his divine sense instantly activated to fully examine his body.

After a thorough examination, Chen Xuan found nothing unusual about his body, and the look of doubt on his face deepened.

"What's going on? Why is the statue suddenly absorbing the immortal power within me? From now on, there's some strange connection between me and the statue?"

Chen Xuan was extremely confused.

Qu Wanru and Qu Lin, who were standing beside him, seemed to understand something, and their expressions as they looked at Chen Xuan became extremely complicated.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you...you were actually awakened by the Holy Image." Qu Lin suddenly said.

"Opening the spirit? What does that mean?"

Chen Xuan looked puzzled.

“In our Baiwu tribe’s terms, ‘awakening the spirit’ means awakening one’s intelligence. However, Fellow Daoist Chen, you are not a member of our Baiwu tribe, so your intelligence should have awakened earlier than that of ordinary members of our Baiwu tribe. But the phenomenon you have triggered is indeed the awakening of the spirit. As for the specific reason why this is happening, I don’t know.”

Qu Lin paused at this point, glancing at Qu Wanru. Seeing that she didn't object, he continued, "Fellow Daoist Chen, since our Baiwu Clan established itself in Baiwu City, there has never been a Spirit Opening expert who could cause such a commotion."

"Back then, when our White Crow Clan's Holy Maiden awakened her spiritual power, she only consumed one-fiftieth of her immortal power. The golden pillar she summoned was no more than a hundred feet tall."

"Even so, the Holy Maiden is a recognized genius of our White Crow Clan. She is also the only one who can inherit our White Crow Clan's legacy!"

“And you, though not a member of our Baiwu clan, were able to summon the sacred image to awaken your spirit. Moreover, the golden pillar you summoned was nearly a thousand feet tall.”

“Your talent should far surpass that of the Holy Maiden.”

"If you study and practice the secret techniques of our White Crow clan in the future, you will definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

Qu Lin's expression was unusually complicated.

What truly troubled him was that none of the Baiwu tribe members could do what Chen Xuan did.

Chen Xuan, who was so capable, was a member of a different race.

It's true what they say: I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter.

"This……"

After figuring out the reason, Chen Xuan glanced at the direction of the sacred image with a complicated expression.

To my surprise, the oppressive feeling that had been emanating from the sacred image had completely disappeared.

Yes, it's just a kind of closeness.

"I never imagined it would turn out like this. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so nervous!"

"However, why did the sacred image suddenly begin to awaken its spirit when I arrived in Baiwu City?"

"Could it be that there's something special about me?"

Chen Xuan muttered secretly.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Could it be related to the Immortal Beast Tower within my body? Otherwise, what connection do I have with the White Crow Clan?"

Having thought this through, Chen Xuan didn't say anything more.

Qu Lin and Qu Wanru continued their conversation about the sacred image.

Only then did Chen Xuan realize that the awakening of the sacred image was not a privilege enjoyed by everyone.

Only direct descendants of the Baiwu clan can have their spirits awakened by the sacred image.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual awakening is carried out during the spiritual awakening ceremony held by the Baiwu people every once in a while.

The golden beams of light that ordinary members of the White Crow tribe could generate when they awakened their spiritual power were at most only a few feet long.

Those with slightly better talent are only about ten feet tall.

Someone like Qu Wanru, who directly triggered a golden pillar of light hundreds of feet long, can indeed be called a genius.

Someone like Chen Xuan, who could summon a golden pillar of light thousands of feet long, is already a monstrous genius.

Of course, for the White Crow Clan, not only will their cultivation speed increase after awakening their spiritual power, but their understanding of the power of the rules of heaven and earth will also improve significantly.

As for Chen Xuan, since he had already awakened his intelligence, neither Qu Wanru nor Qu Lin could say for sure what specific benefits he would gain.

However, Chen Xuan's focus at this moment was not on this matter at all.

He was finally relieved to find that the spiritual awakening would not harm him.

"As long as it doesn't harm me or affect my cultivation, then it doesn't matter!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.

However, the golden pillar of light above the sacred statue did not disappear.

Instead, it has always stood above the sacred image.

The Baiwu tribe members, who were originally filled with fear and anxiety, now acted as if nothing had happened and began to go about their business.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qu Wanru, Qu Lin, and the others quickly led Chen Xuan away.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of a tall black building in Baiwu City.

This is the council hall of the Baiwu people.

The reason for coming here is that Chen Xuan's earlier commotion had attracted the attention of the powerful members of the White Crow Clan.

Therefore, everyone who came here needs to give the Baiwu tribe an explanation.

When Chen Xuan followed Qu Wanru and the others into the black building, they discovered that it was actually a hidden world inside.

Inside, there was a vast hall, tens of thousands of feet in size.

The hall was magnificent and resplendent, without a single pillar.

On the towering dome, star stones, emitting a faint starlight, resemble a vast starry sky.

A solemn, dignified, vast, and ancient atmosphere emanated continuously from the hall.

At this moment, there were huge portraits all around the hall.

The portraits depict the most talented and powerful members of the Baiwu clan throughout history.

These Baiwu people, though they have different appearances.

But the cold arrogance in everyone's eyes was vividly portrayed.

At this moment, at the very back of the hall, there was a row of enormous thrones.

On the throne, a group of powerful cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm sat quietly.

Among them, an elderly man with slightly dark skin glanced at Chen Xuan and immediately looked surprised.

"Fellow Daoist, are you a member of my White Crow Clan? Why have I never seen you before?"

Chen Xuan didn't know how to answer.

Qu Wanru immediately smiled and said, "Second Elder, this Fellow Daoist Chen is a genius of our Baiwu Clan. I happened to meet him during my travels, which is why I invited him to come along. Not long ago, the strange phenomenon that occurred on the sacred statue of our Baiwu Clan was caused by Fellow Daoist Chen."

The other elders of the Baiwu tribe were overjoyed upon hearing this.

When she looked at Chen Xuan, her eyes were full of kindness and expectation.

One of the red-haired elders, in particular, wished he could treat Chen Xuan as the holy son of the White Crow Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I never imagined that our White Crow Clan would have such a genius as you. From now on, you will stay in our White Crow City and cultivate diligently."

"That's right, whatever cultivation resources you need, our White Crow Clan will search for them for you."

"That's right, we will dedicate the entire clan to nurturing you."

Hearing everyone's promises, Chen Xuan remained extremely calm.

Seeing this, Qu Wanru, who had led Chen Xuan over, smiled and said, "Elders, Fellow Daoist Chen is new to Baiwu City and is not very clear about the situation of our Baiwu Clan."

"Besides, Fellow Daoist Chen has just undergone the Spirit Opening Ceremony, and his body hasn't fully recovered yet. Why don't we let him go back and recuperate for a while?"

Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't say anything more.

After expressing his gratitude, he left the main hall, accompanied by Qu Lin.

Qu Wanru, however, stayed behind.

Chen Xuan didn't care what Qu Wanru and the elders of the Baiwu tribe said.

There was silence for a moment as he and Qu Lin arrived at a small courtyard in Baiwu City.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, our White Crow Clan harbors no ill will towards you. The young lady has her own reasons for saying this."

"Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Chen, you may stay here for the time being. If you need anything, please feel free to let me know."

Chen Xuan's gaze swept across the courtyard, finding it to be a beautiful place filled with a mystical aura.

It is indeed a good place for cultivation.

Moreover, after confirming that the protective array in the courtyard was quite impressive, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Very well, I only came with you to broaden my horizons. This place is quite nice, Fellow Daoist Qu, you can go about your business. If I need any help from you, I certainly won't hesitate to ask!"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen, you should rest well. Once you've rested, I'll personally come and show you around Baiwu City."
