I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

He didn't rush to reveal himself, but continued to remain hidden in the fog, observing his surroundings.

Mist billowed around the pool, shrouding everything in a hazy mist.

The green-eyed toads were scattered in twos and threes, some dozing with their eyes half-closed, some lazily licking their claws, and some idly flipping over the stones around them.

None of them were actually patrolling seriously.

They had dominated this Misty Swamp for too long, and had not encountered any enemies who dared to challenge them for too long, so they had become complacent.

Lin Che's gaze slowly swept across the entire body of water, searching for traces of the Jade-Eyed Golden Toad King.

After a while, he realized that the other party did not seem to be in the clan's territory.

The largest and most spiritually rich nest was completely empty, devoid of any aura from any Golden Core stage spirit beasts.

However, what was underwater made him frown slightly.

A black obsidian golem still lies hidden underwater here.

Unlike the one on Crimson Slope, this golem was more adapted to the underwater environment. Its surface was covered with a layer of bluish-black algae, blending into the surrounding rocks. If he hadn't deliberately explored it, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

When Lin Che arrived, he also explored several pools of water and discovered that each pool contained a Black Obsidian Golem.

Perhaps it is because the environment of Misty Swamp is relatively secluded, and the mist can block divine sense, that more puppets have been placed there.

He did not delve deeper into the matter and temporarily ignored the puppet issue.

The most important thing right now is to take action while the enemy's clan leader is away.

Lin Che's gaze fell on the secluded body of water on the west side of the pool.

There, several young green cattail toads were tending to a patch of spiritual plants.

They are much smaller than adults, and the ancient bell patterns on their backs are still very shallow, some even just faint traces.

They carefully manipulated the leaves of the Xuanbing Hantan Lotus, removing the withered and yellow parts and gently straightening the newly sprouted buds.

The movements were slow and meticulous; each leaf was examined carefully.

A green-eyed toad lay on a rock not far away, its eyes half-closed, glancing at them every now and then.

It was larger than the previous one, its body gleaming with a dark golden luster, and tiny sparks spewing from its nostrils with each breath.

It was clearly monitoring these young green toads, but the way it was monitoring them looked more like it was dozing off.

Lin Che no longer hesitated.

His figure moved silently through the mist, like a silent ghost, approaching that remote body of water.

The green-eyed toad that was dozing nearby suddenly twitched its ears, opened its half-closed eyes slightly, and glanced around.

A hint of confusion flashed in those emerald green eyes, before they returned to their languid state.

Lin Che's figure was less than ten feet away from it.

He could even see the patterns on the toad's skin and smell the mixture of sulfur and mud on its body.

But the golden toad saw nothing.

It yawned and then closed its eyes again.

Lin Che's lips curled up slightly.

He reached out and gently pressed his hand above the surface of the water where the young green toads were.

His fingers plunged into the mist, almost touching the water's surface, yet no spiritual energy fluctuations leaked out.

A thought crossed my mind.

The few young Qingpu Ming Toads that were still tending to the spiritual plants disappeared from the spot.

There was no splash, no sound, no movement whatsoever.

They simply vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.

Lin Che withdrew his hand, and his figure disappeared into the mist once again.

The green-eyed toad that was dozing off next to it didn't even lift its eyelids once from beginning to end.

In the distance, deep within the icy pool.

The leader of the Green Pu Chimneys suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction of that secluded body of water.

Its heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

The person who sent the message... actually made a move.

Their race possesses a special talent: they can determine the location of their clansmen through specific sound waves.

Just now, it clearly sensed that the auras of those imprisoned clansmen had suddenly disappeared from its perception.

They actually managed to do it?

How did they manage to bring back their people from the Blue-eyed Toad clan so easily?

A complex emotion welled up within him.

There was shock, doubt, hope, and a faint, unacknowledged expectation.

Just then, that voice rose from the depths of my heart once more.

"I have brought your people back. Do not resist. I will take you to see them."

The leader of the Green Pu Ming Chan (a type of toad) was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and responded in his mind:

"it is good."

The next moment, it felt its body lighten, and everything in front of it disappeared.

…………

Azure Mystery Realm, by Shattered Star Lake.

The leader of the Green Pu Chimneys cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

What is this place...?

The surrounding area was filled with spiritual energy, so dense that it almost solidified.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, mixed with the sweetness of flowers; one breath and you feel refreshed.

The ground was covered with various spiritual plants, some of which it recognized as extremely rare species in the Misty Swamp.

Some of them were things it had never seen before, yet they exuded an aura that made it instinctively feel close to them.

In the distance, many giant turtles were leisurely basking in the sun on the shore.

They are as large as mountains, with moss and ferns growing on their carapaces, and some even have small flowers blooming in the crevices of their shells.

Their breathing was slow and long, each exhale causing a slight fluctuation in the surrounding spiritual energy.

The beautiful environment stunned it for a moment.

It has lived for so many years and has never seen a place like this.

There was no oppression, no exploitation, and no ever-present threat of death.

There was only tranquility, only vitality, only a freedom it had never experienced before.

His gaze suddenly shifted to his side.

"Humans?"

Through special sound wave sensing, it can determine that the voice transmission just now came from the person in front of it.

Lin Che nodded, his body radiating the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator.

The oppressive aura was solid and unyielding, like an invisible mountain, yet it possessed no aggressiveness whatsoever. It simply existed quietly, allowing the other party to clearly perceive its strength and confidence.

"That's right, my name is Lin Che, and this is my territory. If your clan chooses to submit to me, you can live here just like them."

His tone was calm, without threats or inducements; he was simply stating a fact.

Then, he turned his head to look into the distance.

"Alright, they're here. Talk to your people and give me your answer later."

Lin Che did not continue to make empty promises to it.

Because there are better candidates available.

In the distance, the elder chieftains of the Fuyue Crocodile Turtle Clan and the Cangming Flood Dragon Clan were leading a group of Little Green Puming Toads over.

Lin Che had the old tortoise and the old dragon guide these little creatures to learn about the Azure Mystic Realm and the lives of the spirit beasts there.

Personal experience is far more real than storytelling.

The young green toads opened their big eyes and curiously looked around at everything.

They saw the giant tortoise in the distance, the azure-eyed eagle circling in the sky, and the Azure Sea Dragon frolicking in the water.

Each spirit beast was full of energy, and each spirit beast exuded a healthy and vigorous aura.

They had never seen such a scene before.

In the Misty Swamp, they saw only exhaustion, fear, and numbness.

Here, they see life, vitality, and something they've never seen before called "happiness."

Having understood Lin Che's meaning, the leader of Qingpu Mingchan did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to greet the children.

"Xiao Wu? Xiao Qi?" it whispered, its voice trembling slightly.

"Chieftain!"

As soon as the young green cattail toads saw it, they all gathered around it.

They all started talking at once, recounting their experiences.

Suddenly they arrived at this place, and then the giant tortoises and giant dragons appeared. Instead of harming them, they showed them around the place.

This place is so big, so beautiful, and so full of spiritual energy. Even the mythical beasts here are so friendly...

The leader of the Green Pu Ming Chan listened quietly.

It chatted with the children for a long time, and from their tone of voice, their eyes, and the unconscious upturn of their lips, it gleaned a lot.

There is no fear, no oppression, no deep-seated weariness that they have become accustomed to.

This is another world they never imagined.

Its mindset gradually changed.

Compared to Hidden Mist Marsh, this place is far superior.

The treatment is incomparable.

The spirit beasts living here are no joke; each one is well-nourished and lives a carefree and leisurely life.

What else is there to consider?

It turned around, walked towards Lin Che, and lowered its head.

"Chief! From now on, you will be the leader of our Qingpu Mingchan clan!"

Its voice was solemn and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

The plan is in place.

Lin Che subdued the Qingpu Mingchan clan so easily.

The process went smoothly under the patriarch's call, with not a single one refusing.

The young Qingpu Mingchan had long been captivated by the environment of the secret realm, while the older ones had put aside their concerns after being persuaded by the clan leader.

Lin Che had the Azure Profound Realm Spirit open up a body of water in Shattered Star Lake as their territory.

A total of forty-six were taken into the Azure Mystic Realm.

Thus, the Lin family now possessed a group of wood-attribute spirit beasts.
