Chapter 2155: Sacred Realm Fierce Beast

Martial Arts and Immortal Heroes

"True Man Qin, this is Prince Qi."

Qin Sang was currently a guest in the Imperial Warden's courtyard.

The Imperial Warden had invited a member of the Siyou Clan, a person of extraordinary beauty with a delicate demeanor, meticulously adorned and possessing a regal bearing. This was Prince Qi, one of the former Four Princes.

Qin Sang rose and bowed in greeting.

Prince Qi returned the bow with equal solemnity, his voice as soft as a woman's. "I have long admired True Man Qin's reputation, but indeed, seeing is believing. For the Imperial Warden to attract True Man Qin is a true blessing, like adding wings to a tiger, and also a powerful reinforcement for our Siyou Clan. Thus, when I received the Imperial Warden's invitation, I did not hesitate long before accepting!"

"Thank you for your high regard, Prince Qi. It is through your kindness that this humble Taoist has the opportunity to enter the Holy Land," Qin Sang replied.

After a series of pleasantries, host and guests took their seats. Soon after, others arrived, all members of the Siyou Clan, either highly cultivated or of high status, each a regional overlord.

Young Master also arrived and sat beside Qin Sang.

Fine wine and exotic fruits filled the courtyard with their fragrance.

During the banquet, the Imperial Warden and Qin Sang became the center of attention. Striking down the Great Enshrinement Elder, destroying the Lu family, and helping Silu avenge himself—each was an earth-shattering event in the Siyou Clan.

To avoid suspicion, Qin Sang had returned to Qingyang Prefecture after the fall of the Lu manor. Many wished to visit but could not, and only now did they meet the True Man.

The fact that Qin Sang had allied with the Imperial Warden provided yet another reason for them to forge good relations with him.

The banquet concluded.

Everyone had enjoyed themselves, and the serious discussions began.

All the guests at the banquet, except Qin Sang, were owners of the Mirage Jade. These individuals now brought forth their respective Mirage Jades.

The precious jades emitted a pure and clear spiritual radiance, so beautiful that one dared not profane them. Illuminated by this light, the scenery in the courtyard became even more exquisite.

Everyone began to chant incantations, each drawing a wisp of Qin Sang's aura and imbuing it into their Mirage Jade.

New ancient patterns appeared on the surface of the Mirage Jades, then immediately vanished, the wisp of aura now imprinted within.

Completing this ritual meant that Qin Sang had received the recognition of all Mirage Jade owners of the Siyou Clan. Without further action from Qin Sang, he could now easily pass through the Holy Land's gate.

Everyone rose to take their leave. Qin Sang also departed with Young Master, arriving at Young Master's residence.

He was prepared to enter the Holy Land and would remain here until its opening, entering as Young Master's attendant.

In Yuanqiao Seamarket, the attention of all was drawn to the powerful alien race experts, comparable to those in the late Void Refinement stage. Qin Sang, openly only in the mid-Void Refinement stage, would not have his origins deeply investigated. Disguising himself as a member of the imperial family, Qin Sang had no need to worry about revealing any flaws.

The next day, cultivators in Yuanqiao Seamarket noticed subtle changes in the sky. The normally bright sunlight had dimmed slightly, as if a layer of haze had fallen over the heavens.

Other than this, there was no immediate impact. But on the second day, the haze intensified further. Over the following days, the sky grew increasingly gloomy, and the haze gradually transformed into thick, heavy storm clouds.

Dark clouds gathered, and strong winds began to rage.

The cultivators in Yuanqiao Seamarket were highly skilled and unaffected by the weather, but they all realized that the Holy Land was about to open!

The opening of the Holy Land signified the imminent end of Yuanqiao Seamarket. Cultivators who were not qualified to enter the Holy Land also began packing their belongings, preparing to leave.

On this morning.

A clap of thunder reverberated throughout the entire Yuanqiao Seamarket.

Immediately, streaks of light appeared in the sky above the market. More and more people flew out of their cave dwellings, gazing up at the high heavens.

Deep within the storm clouds, a golden light was dissipating.

Another peal of thunder immediately followed, as a golden lightning bolt tore through the clouds, like a magnificent golden dragon, clawing and tearing apart the dark clouds.

Golden lightning bolts, seemingly endless, emanated astonishing power. The islands, protected by a grand array, also began to tremble.

The dark clouds were fragmented and torn apart by the lightning. The cultivators, activating their spiritual eyes, peered through the fissures to see a different scene above the clouds, as if two worlds existed.

There, glowing light filled the sky, with myriad auspicious colors. Among the white clouds were celestial mountains and jade trees with immortal blossoms. Divine beings, immortal children, auspicious beasts, and spiritual birds moved freely within this paradise, enjoying their leisure.

Unfortunately, this was not a true immortal realm, but merely a beautiful illusion. The illusion constantly shifted, but the one constant was a mass of golden light composed of golden lightning.

Thunder continued to emanate from within the golden light, and lightning flashed incessantly, the source of the earth-shaking tremors.

Suddenly, with a crash, a thick golden bolt of lightning erupted from the center of the golden light.

At that instant, everyone's eyes felt a sharp sting. To their astonishment, as the golden lightning passed, cracks appeared in the illusory immortal realm, as if the barrier connecting the two spaces had been broken.

Qin Sang's eyelids twitched involuntarily, unable to imagine the consequences if such a lightning bolt were to strike him!

In an instant, dazzling golden light permeated the sky.

The dark clouds dissipated, and golden light showered down on every spiritual island and every person. Streaks of golden lightning, possessing world-destroying power, shot wildly from the spatial cracks.

The golden light there was extremely blinding, and only a few people could discern it clearly. At the center of the golden light, a massive golden gate had appeared.

Surrounded by lightning, the golden gate stood in the void, exuding an imposing aura that seemed to connect heaven and earth, like an immortal gateway leading to a mysterious celestial realm. Yet, within the gate, there was only a chaotic expanse of clouds dyed golden.

Before the celestial phenomena could subside, several streaks of light shot out from Yuanqiao Seamarket, heading directly towards the golden gate.

These figures passed through the lightning fissures, safely entering the golden gate, and then vanished from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, cultivators from various tribes began to stir.

Young Master transmitted a message: "True Man Qin, it is better to act sooner rather than later."

Qin Sang turned his gaze to the distance, seeing Su Nu, Li Yufu, and Yu Nu. He then looked towards the Zhu Yan tribe's formation, where Liaochen and Liuli were disguised beside Patriarch Yuanxiang.

He withdrew his gaze, nodded to Young Master, and the two immediately ascended into the air, flying together towards the golden gate.

The golden gate was far grander than it appeared from below. Upon nearing it, the golden clouds behind the gate seemed like a man-eating vortex. Qin Sang's mind tensed slightly as he followed Young Master into the golden gate.

The moment he passed through the golden gate, Qin Sang focused his senses but detected no fluctuations, no feeling of being probed or spied upon. He simply entered smoothly, his figure dissolving into the golden clouds.

The next moment, Qin Sang felt himself surrounded by a chaotic mass of clouds. There was a power here even more tumultuous than the River of Grievances, as if heaven and earth had been inverted.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

"Splash!"

Amidst a dizzying spin, the Mirage Jade in Young Master's hand automatically flew up, glowing with white light, enveloping them and carrying them towards a certain spot within the golden clouds.

By a lake.

The lake water here was clear, and the aquatic plants were lush. Though it was a fertile place, it was remarkably quiet, with no birds or beasts visible.

On the lakeside, a valley formed between two mountains, wide at the entrance and narrow within. The valley entrance was sealed by a colorful mist.

Within the mist, strange figures could be vaguely seen wandering.

Suddenly, the tranquility here was broken.

Without any warning, a hurricane swept through the area. In an instant, the sky turned dark, and the aquatic plants were directly uprooted by the strong winds, swirling into the sky like wild catkins.

The mist also violently churned in the strong winds, threatening to disperse at any moment.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Sharp, eerie cries echoed from the valley, carrying unease and anger. Suddenly, dense figures appeared in the mist.

Just then, a clap of thunder came from high above. A void suddenly appeared, with golden light flickering within. In a flash, the void closed, the golden light vanished, and two figures tumbled out.

Though slightly disheveled upon emergence, they quickly stabilized themselves, looking around. It was Young Master and Qin Sang. They had indeed landed in the same spot, not separated.

After the void disappeared, the hurricane also began to weaken, but the damage it caused was irreversible. The beautiful scenery was completely destroyed, leaving behind a mess.

"Here..."

Young Master opened his mouth to speak but was suddenly interrupted by a series of screams.

Qin Sang shifted his gaze to the valley, where he saw the mist writhing as a group of monsters charged out.

These monsters had scorpion tails and bodies, but their upper bodies were humanoid, with human-like heads. However, they lacked human facial features, appearing bizarre and ugly.

They moved incredibly fast, like the wind, with clouds of mist emerging beneath them. Screaming, they charged towards Qin Sang and Young Master, as if convinced they were the culprits who destroyed their home.

These ferocious beasts had an aura of ferocity that Qin Sang recognized, and they seemed to possess some human characteristics, but they were not members of an alien race; they were fierce beasts!

"Fierce beasts?"

Qin Sang's gaze swept over the scorpion-bodied monsters, realizing they were fierce beasts, but different from those living in the River of Grievances.

Their ferocity was less intense, and they had not completely lost their minds, allowing them to reproduce and inhabit this lair in the absence of external enemies.

However, the ferocity seemed etched into their very souls, impossible to erase. Thus, their intelligence would not be very high, and upon encountering an enemy, their ferocity would gradually be ignited, eventually leading them to madness, loss of reason, and a fight to the death!

Now, Qin Sang sensed the beginning of this transformation.

A scorpion-bodied monster, clearly the leader, was the fastest, having already rushed within ten feet of them. The mist carried a putrid, nauseating smell.

Qin Sang's finger twitched, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth vibrated, transforming into invisible spiritual swords, shimmering in mid-air.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The strongest of these scorpion-bodied monsters did not exceed the Nascent Soul stage, making them no match for Qin Sang. All of them perished.

Their blood was also the color of mist, its腥臭 overpowering the mist. More urgent and angry cries came from the valley. The leader of the scorpion-bodied monsters led its entire tribe out, their eyes red, their ferocity unleashed.

In the eyes of cultivators from the Great Thousand World, fierce beasts without intelligence were not considered living beings. Qin Sang showed no mercy, and sword shadows swept across, leaving a large pile of corpses by the lake.

His spiritual sense probed the valley, sweeping through the scorpion-bodied monsters' lair, and Qin Sang let out a soft exclamation.

He stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion. The mist at the valley entrance parted, and a ball of ethereal blue light flew out from the valley, enveloping a spiritual flower.

The spiritual flower had broad, overlapping leaves, and nestled within them was a blue flower, shaped like a phoenix ready to take flight, even having feather-like patterns on its petals.

"Is this a Blue Phoenix Flower?"

Qin Sang was surprised.

This was certainly an unexpected bonus. The Blue Phoenix Flower was a rare spiritual medicine, highly valuable in the outside world, and he had found one in a nest of scorpion-bodied monsters.

Young Master glanced at it and said, "It seems these scorpion-bodied monsters were quite lucky. There must not be any stronger fierce beasts around, allowing them to occupy this spiritual flower. Since True Man Qin cleared out these scorpion-bodied monsters, you should take this spiritual flower."

Seeing Young Master's unsurprised demeanor, Qin Sang inwardly thought that the Holy Land was indeed a treasure trove. Rare spiritual medicines from the outside world were not exactly ubiquitous here, but they were certainly not scarce.

He unceremoniously took the Blue Phoenix Flower, carefully examining his surroundings, but found no distinct features. Based solely on the surrounding landscape, he could not determine their exact location.

"The immediate priority is to determine where we have landed. The situation here is unclear, and we should not separate. Let us travel together for a while, confirm there's no danger, and then split up to search," Young Master suggested.

Qin Sang had no objection. The two erased their traces below and randomly chose a direction.

After a period of flying, they encountered another group of fierce beasts. Young Master dealt with them, but they found no spiritual medicine comparable to the Blue Phoenix Flower in their lair.

They discovered that this area was rich in mountains and lakes, with lakes scattered like stars, interspersed among the mountains, like pearls strewn across the land.

"According to records, there are several regions with this kind of terrain: south of Wanling Lake, around Wu'gen Island, the western foothills of Baizu Divine Mountain..."

Young Master murmured, "If we are near Wu'gen Island, we should reach our designated meeting point soon."

As they spoke, the two suddenly ceased their evasion light, exchanged glances, and looked towards the east. Just now, they had sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching.

This was not the aura of fierce beasts; the approaching individuals must be alien race cultivators!

They hadn't expected to encounter other people so quickly.

The evasion light had not yet appeared in their sight, but both were highly sensitive. As the two auras drew closer, Qin Sang even felt a faint sense of familiarity.

"Brother Qin recognizes them?" Young Master asked.

Qin Sang mused, "Perhaps an old acquaintance."

As the other party drew nearer, Qin Sang was almost seventy percent certain that one of them was the Kunfeng clan member he had fought when he rescued Silu years ago.

Back then, this person had been severely wounded by him, his body collapsing, forcing him to abandon his physical form, with only a small figure in his ear escaping. Unexpectedly, not only had his injuries healed, but his cultivation had also improved significantly.

"Kunfeng Clan? Since they are from the Water Department, then let them stay!"

Young Master gave a cold laugh, but immediately both he and Qin Sang sensed something was amiss.

As the other party flew, their aura was almost completely undisguised. In Qin Sang's judgment, this speed was almost the limit for that Kunfeng clan member, and there seemed to be a hint of panic.

Were they deliberately attracting fierce beasts, or did they simply lack the energy to consider such things?

Immediately after, Qin Sang and Young Master vaguely perceived a pressure coming from the distant east. Despite the vast distance, the moment they felt this pressure, their minds tensed abruptly, and their hearts pounded.

"Holy Realm fierce beast!"

Young Master's expression changed dramatically.

Qin Sang's face also became very grim. "Didn't they say that upon first entering the Holy Land, one generally wouldn't encounter fierce beasts in the Integration stage?"
