I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"rule?"

Lin Che caught the word in the Yaren Beast's words and frowned slightly.

"Yes, a special rule that envelops me."

As Yaren Beast watched Xiao Jin clumsily but earnestly apply the healing ointment, he organized his thoughts and tried to explain to his new master.

The cool and comfortable feeling brought by the medicine relaxed his tense nerves a little, and his narration became more fluent.

Lin Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

I was so busy watching the drama unfold that I only just remembered a key detail from what the other person had said earlier.

This powerful Yaren Beast is different from other demonic beasts that roam freely in the secret realm; it was originally trapped somewhere!

"In my remaining senses and hazy memories, there seems to be some kind of pre-set rules in that place that trapped me."

A hint of confusion and recollection flickered in the Yaren Beast's golden vertical pupils:

"Anyone who steps into that specific area will automatically trigger a certain 'test'."

And I am part of that test, or rather, the gatekeeper.

According to the rules, the challenger must defeat me to prove their strength and qualifications, thereby gaining my recognition and following, and I will serve them as my master.

It paused, feeling the tingling sensation of its wound slowly healing under the medicine, and continued:

"For most of the long years, I was actually in a special state of dormancy, my consciousness was in a daze, and I would only regain consciousness when I was 'awakened' by an intruder."

Until… until something seemed to go wrong in that place, and the energy to keep it running was running low, I gradually awoke from that deep, manipulated slumber.

"In order to break free from my constraints and regain my freedom, I tried every means and exhausted all my strength, and finally broke through the barrier that trapped me."

The Yaren Beast's tone carried a hint of lingering fear.

"Perhaps it was because the energy was depleted that the barrier itself became fragile, which allowed me to escape by sheer luck."

A test? A trial! Defeat the gatekeepers and gain their approval!

These keywords flashed through Lin Che's mind like lightning.

Yin Jiuyou of the Rebellious Demon Palace has a core objective in infiltrating the secret realm this time: to find a treasure vault that may contain a legacy!

There is still no clear information from Liu Fang's side regarding the exact location of that treasure vault.

Yin Jiuyou was clearly extremely cautious and would never reveal anything easily until the very last moment or when he was certain the time was right.

"If... the place where the Yaren Beast was originally trapped is the entrance or part of the 'Treasure Vault of Inheritance' that Yin Jiuyou has been searching for."

Lin Che's heart skipped a beat: "Then wouldn't it be possible for me to find that place before everyone else?"

However, the most urgent task is to properly settle the newly subdued Golden Lion Beast clan.

Lin Che communicated with the Azure Profound Realm Spirit through his thoughts: "Little Xuan, in the Golden Fiend Plains region, create a suitable exclusive territory for the Golden Lion Beast clan to live in, and simulate the environment of this place."

"Yes, Master."

Soon, on the edge of the newly replicated plain in the Azure Mystic Realm, which was filled with pale golden malevolent energy, a more regular area with clear boundaries and adjusted concentration of malevolent energy was quickly created.

The ground even simulates the rock strata structure suitable for the Golden Lion Beast to dig its nest.

With a thought, Lin Che led the Golden Lion Beast Clan into the Azure Profound Realm.

"This is a small world that I control. From now on, it will be your new home," Lin Che introduced to the Golden Lion Beast Clan Chief and the group of somewhat bewildered clansmen.

It also points to a lake that is faintly visible in the distance.

"Do you see that over there? The Cangming Jiao clan and the Fujiang Crocodile Turtle clan live there. They are my partners. If you have free time in the future, you can also find them to spar and exchange ideas, and improve together."

The golden lion beasts curiously observed this brand-new world.

The air was filled with the pure, metallic aura that they were familiar with and loved.

However, the overall spiritual energy was far richer than that of the barren and dangerous Burial Valley, and one felt completely comfortable with every breath.

What's even more remarkable is the indescribable sense of "safety" and "tranquility" here, which allows them to finally relax their nerves that have been tense for countless years.

Their golden beast eyes immediately revealed an irrepressible joy and anticipation for their new life.

"Cangming Jiao, show them around the area."

Cangming Jiao, as always, was very enthusiastic, patting his chest and saying, "Don't worry, boss! Leave this to me. I'll make sure they feel right at home!"

Lin Che rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "It's precisely because you're so enthusiastic that I'm worried!"

He turned to the more composed and reliable old patriarch of the alligator snapping turtle clan: "Old man, please take care of it as well."

The alligator snapping turtle nodded gently: "Don't worry, Master."

Among the Golden Lion Beast clan, several young and most curious little ones could no longer contain themselves.

After receiving its father's tacit permission, it immediately let out a joyful growl and set off, running and playing on the vast and safe plain.

In the Valley of the Dead, danger lurked everywhere, and they could only huddle in narrow caves or under the wings of their parents all day long.

When have we ever had such a space to run and play freely?

The adult golden lion beasts looked at the children's joyful appearance, and their eyes also showed relief and relaxation.

The Golden Lion Beast Clan Chief, along with the other more composed members, followed the Azure Sea Flood Dragon and the River-Overturning Crocodile Turtle to begin formally familiarizing themselves with their new territory.

Lin Che looked at the Golden Fiend Plains, which was gradually becoming lively in the distance, and nodded slightly.

Due to time constraints, we can only build a basic framework for now; the area currently looks somewhat bare.

In the future, he will transplant more spiritual plants that the Golden Lion Beast likes here, introduce some spiritual beasts, build a more complete ecosystem, and truly make this place a paradise suitable for their breeding and survival.

The Golden Lion Beast Clan has been settled.

Lin Che's initial and most important goal for this trip, which was to introduce a powerful metal-attribute spirit beast clan to the family, has been successfully achieved.

Now, his attention can turn to the next, and perhaps most tempting, target of the trip.

That place that is suspected to be a "treasure trove of heritage"!

Lin Che's gaze returned to the Yaren Beast, which was rapidly recovering under the abundant spiritual energy of the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

"How is your injury healing?" Lin Che asked, while taking out a spiritual pill that helps restore vitality and stabilize blood vessels and flicking it over.

The Yaren Beast opened its mouth to catch the pill, feeling the warm current from the melting pill quickly replenishing its consumed physical strength and demonic power. It then stretched its limbs.

The shallower wounds on his body had scabbed over under the special ointment and Xiao Jin's care, and his breathing had become noticeably more stable.

"It's nothing serious now. It's just a minor cut and bruise that will heal quickly and won't affect your mobility."

The Yaren Beast responded in a deep voice, its golden vertical pupils looking at Lin Che, understanding his intention.

"Very good." Lin Che nodded and didn't delay any longer.

"Then, take me to see exactly where you escaped from that place!"

In response, the Yaren Beast let out a low growl, stood up, stretched its powerful body, and the scales rubbed together, producing a slight clanging sound.

It looked at Lin Che, its eyes less wild and violent than before, and more submissive and determined.

"Please follow me, I remember that place very clearly."
