I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

"Second Brother, what did you say? Can we communicate telepathically? The wind is too strong, I can't hear you!"

At the entrance of Qingfeng Gorge, the three Lin brothers were struggling to climb upwards against the raging winds.

That wind was no ordinary mountain wind, but a fierce gale that surged from the depths of the Fulong Mountains, carrying with it a chilling spiritual pressure.

It roared out of the gorge, like an invisible giant hammer, pounding down on the three of them again and again.

His robes fluttered in the wind, clinging tightly to his body, and he had to exert all his strength to keep his balance with every step.

This place is Qingfeng Gorge, located 400 miles north of Chuyang City.

After crossing the vast plain beneath the silent forest and then passing through a valley, you will arrive here.

Over the years, Lin Che has never stopped searching for traces of spirit beast races with high bloodline potential.

He gathered information from the rogue cultivators and pieced together a map of the area around Chuyang City.

The Chuyang City Development Zone is located at the easternmost end of the Fulong Mountains in the Southern Region, backed by Tingfeng Pass on the eastern line of Fengu Pass.

Further east lies a vast Gobi Desert, and a few hundred miles further on is the South China Sea.

The Gobi Desert stretches all the way to the South China Sea, a region devoid of spiritual energy and vitality, and therefore lacking development value.

There are few aquatic creatures in the shallows, so there is not much of a threat.

If a beast tide breaks out in the future, Chuyang City will mainly need to defend against the south and the west.

The mountain range where the three brothers were located was constantly battered by strong winds, serving as a natural barrier guarding the northwest direction.

This Qingfeng Gorge is the only passage in this mountain range where the strong winds are relatively gentle.

Saying it's "slightly slower" is only relative.

For ordinary cultivators, it remains an impassable and dangerous place.

However, their purpose in this trip was not to venture deeper, but to encounter a type of demonic beast atop the gorge, named Wangtianyin.

Wind-attribute spirit beast.

They inhabit the tops of towering peaks, the cliffs of windy passes, or the Tianmen Rift Valley where fierce winds blow year-round.

Some rogue cultivators once spotted them from afar.

It is described as a graceful and slender creature, resembling the legendary phoenix, but with lighter and more flowing lines, full of the agility of the wind.

Of course, the most distinctive feature is the small patch of scale-like feathers on its chest.

Based on the description given by the rogue cultivator, Lin Che deduced that it was Wang Tianyin.

A wind-attribute spirit beast with a trace of the bloodline of the dragon prince Chaofeng, which perfectly matches his breeding goals.

At this moment, he was hiding in the shadows, his eyes fixed on his three sons who were gritting their teeth and climbing upwards.

The wind was fierce, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators found it difficult to move on this cliff.

The wind wasn't just physical resistance; it also carried a special kind of spiritual pressure that seeped straight into the bones.

Fortunately, all three of them had body-refining abilities. If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone climbing, they would be lucky to even last half an hour in this gale.

To hone the skills of these three boys, Lin Che assigned them the task of finding Wang Tianyin.

At the same time, he forbade them from using defensive magical artifacts or relying on spirit beasts for help, forcing them to climb upwards entirely on their own strength.

He hid in the shadows, keeping watch for the three boys.

Although this place is only the area where the outer and middle layers of the Fulong Mountains meet, it is still fraught with danger.

Even though he is now a Golden Core cultivator, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

If things become unmanageable, he will not hesitate to run away with his three boys.

……

"Alright, you two, stop joking around."

Lin Xuanqi plopped down on a rock, panting heavily, and transmitted his voice.

His face was reddened by the strong wind, and the sweat on his forehead dried in the wind before it could even drip down, leaving only a thin layer of salt frost.

"Second brother, have you found any trace of Wang Tianyin?"

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Lin Xuanjing, who was holding a long spear, stopped in his tracks.

His handsome face was furrowed with worry, and his usual carefree and playful demeanor was completely gone.

"no."

He replied telepathically, his tone unusually serious.

"The surrounding winds are too chaotic; I can't hear any messages from them."

He closed his eyes, trying to sense the pulse of the wind once more.

But the wind here is different from elsewhere.

Several strong winds converged, collided, and tore at each other here, forming a chaotic torrent.

There is also a special kind of energy interfering, like some kind of natural restriction, or like spiritual pressure escaping from the depths of a spiritual vein.

Even for a cultivator with a wind spirit root like him, it would be difficult to find any useful traces in this environment.

Lin Xuanqi frowned slightly, but did not urge him.

He knew that what the second brother said was true.

Lin Xuanfeng, who was standing to the side, did not join the conversation between the two.

He held a long sword, his attention focused entirely on his surroundings.

The raging gale not only limited their perception but also distorted and fragmented the sound.

In such an environment, neither the eyes nor the ears are reliable; only intuition and vigilance are the keys to survival.

They had already encountered countless attacks from demonic beasts along the way.

Some were wind lizards that sprang out from the crevices of the rocks, some were rock vultures that lurked on the cliffs, and there were also several unknown monsters covered in barbs.

It always comes suddenly, catching us completely off guard.

So after climbing the high cliff, the three of them tacitly divided the work.

The eldest brother and the second brother were responsible for finding Wang Tianyin's whereabouts, while he was responsible for guarding against the sudden attacks of demonic beasts.

After calming his breathing, Lin Xuanqi looked at the second brother and transmitted his voice:

"Use spirit beasts! Father forbids us from using spirit beasts to climb mountains, but he didn't say we can't use them to find people."

He paused, then added, "Your Azure Sky Eagle possesses the ability to perceive, and being a bird, it should be even more sensitive to the scent of its own kind. It's certainly faster than us searching aimlessly like this, isn't it?"

Lin Xuanjing's eyes lit up.

"You know what, this is a great idea!"

He chuckled and released his old companion from the spirit beast pouch.

A cyan figure flapped its wings and emerged; it was the Azure Sky Cloud Eagle.

As soon as it came out, it was blown about by the strong wind, but then it regained its balance.

Its emerald green eagle eyes blinked in the wind, seemingly puzzled as to why its master had called it out.

Lin Xuanjing patted its head, secretly amused.

He was waiting for the boss to speak.

He transmitted a few words.

Azure Cloud Eagle tilted its head, a knowing glint in its emerald eyes.

It took flight, soaring into the sky against the gale, like a blue arrow, disappearing into the howling wind in the blink of an eye.

Looking at his second brother's "I'm so smart" expression, Lin Xuanqi suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

Sure enough, Lin Xuanjing turned around, his face beaming with a bright smile:

"The boss is the boss! If Dad asks later, I'll just say it was your suggestion!"

Lin Xuanqi: "..."

He knew that the second son couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Above the cliff, a blue eagle spreads its wings and takes flight.

It hovered steadily in the strong wind, its emerald green eagle eyes sweeping over every corner of the canyon.

A moment later, it let out a short cry and flapped its wings vigorously toward a certain direction deep in the canyon.

Lin Xuanjing's eyes lit up.

"Found it!"
