Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Qinglian Mountain Range.

Once Zhou Chun made his decision, he quickly took action.

Once Lei Jiao Bai Bai and Yan Yu Huo Feng reach their cultivation levels, the pills he had previously given them, such as the [Hundred Herbs Ginseng King Pill], are no longer effective.

Similarly, even if they devour a low-grade fourth-tier demon core of the same attribute, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The simplest and most effective way to help them accumulate enough power as quickly as possible is to feed them a high-grade fourth-tier demon core of the same attribute, or a spiritual fruit similar to a fifth-tier spiritual apricot.

Fifth-tier spirit apricots are rare and hard to come by, so Zhou Chun couldn't find any more for them.

However, he still had some options regarding fourth-grade high-quality demon cores.

Among them, Lei Jiao Bai Bai's demon core is the easiest to deal with.

There is a fourth-order high-grade thunder dragon in Dragon Abyss, and he happens to know a way to lure it away from Dragon Abyss.

Zhou Chun had previously considered luring and killing this fourth-tier high-grade thunder dragon, but he abandoned the idea because he was worried that the dragon clan would discover that he was the real culprit and bring about stronger retaliation.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on him, and the pressure from Master Ziyang forced him to take a risk.

Of course, although he was going to take the risk of doing this, he would never let his main body do it, and even Lei Jiao Bai Bai could not make a move.

We absolutely cannot allow the Jiaolong clan to find evidence of his actions in the wilderness. Otherwise, even if he has successfully formed his Nascent Soul, given the tacit understanding between the top beings of the two clans, they could still have a reason to invade Jing Kingdom and attack him.

Therefore, this matter needs to be carefully planned.

Over the next two months, Zhou Chun met with several Golden Core cultivators from the Zhou family and sent his avatars to roam the wilderness in search of suitable ambush sites.

After months of planning, he finally sent his apprentice Zhou Zhiying to the wilderness with the spirit beast bag containing the Golden Armor Mountain Tortoise Stone.

After Zhou Zhiying arrived at the wilderness, she quickly reunited with Zhou Chun's avatar, and the master and disciple silently arrived at the ambush site.

This ambush site is more than 5,000 miles away from the Caiyu Mountain stronghold, and there are no other fourth-tier demonic beasts within a thousand miles of it, which can ensure that no third party will interfere during the battle.

At the same time, it can maximize the protection of the Caiyushan base and prevent it from being implicated in subsequent events.

"Ying'er, you and Shi Tou lie in ambush here. When it's time for you to make a move, then follow my instructions."

Zhou Chun pointed to a mountain peak not far away and gave instructions to Zhou Zhiying in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiying immediately replied in a low voice, "Disciple understands. Master, please be careful as well."

Zhou Chun nodded in his true form, then released the Golden Armored Mountain Tortoise Stone, letting it take Zhou Zhiying to the mountains to ambush them.

Then, this incarnation transformed into a white snake with a single horn.

His avatar was crafted from snow spirits, making it incredibly versatile. Unless one's cultivation level is a whole realm higher than the avatar's, or someone like the [Azure-Eyed Golden Ape] who was born with a pair of spiritual eyes, it would be difficult to discern his true origins.

After transforming into a one-horned white snake, Zhou Chun's avatar quickly followed a river leading to Longyuanze and entered the Longyuanze.

After entering the Dragon Abyss, he quickly determined the direction and went to the area near the Scaled Frog alien tribe before heading towards Thunder Lizard Island.

At the same time, while the avatar was in action, Zhou Chun's real body also appeared on the border area between Lanzhou and Yunzhou, riding a golden-winged tiger, and headed towards Lingzhou along the border area, seemingly to tour the border.

The situation here was quickly learned by both the Yan Yang Sect and the demon king of Yunzhou.

However, the demon king of Yunzhou was certain that Zhou Chun would not dare to cross the border and cause trouble, so apart from having a few fourth-order demon beasts monitor Zhou Chun's movements in the border area, he did not pay any more attention to him.

However, after learning the information, the Yan Yang Sect quickly sent the Tianjing Zhenren, who had returned to Lingzhou to oversee things, to meet with Zhou Chun and inquire about his intentions.

When Zhou Chun faced the Heavenly Mirror Master, he naturally adopted a businesslike demeanor and directly stated that he had come to inspect Lingzhou.

In theory, the Zhou family only entrusted Lingzhou to the Xuanzhu Palace for temporary administration, while nominally retaining jurisdiction over the area.

Therefore, Zhou Chun's attempt to completely reclaim jurisdiction over Lingzhou is morally and legally sound.

However, Master Ziyang would not easily agree. He was now hoping to use this matter to keep Zhou Chun in Jingguo and prevent him from being out of his sight for a long time.

Therefore, under his instruction, although Master Tianjing did not directly engage in battle with Zhou Chun, he stuck to Zhou Chun like a leech, showing no sign of yielding an inch of ground.

Little did they know that this was exactly what Zhou Chun wanted, as he intended to use this method to create an alibi.

Although Master Tianjing did not know what he was going to do, he knew that there must be a deeper meaning behind his actions at this time. Therefore, after exchanging words and testing him, he was happy to play along.

In this way, while maintaining the exposure of his main body, Zhou Chun, in his unicorn form as a white snake, gradually arrived near Thunder Lizard Island.

As he expected, after the incident where he transformed into the Moon Toad and caused havoc, things did indeed change on Thunder Lizard Island.

Although the Thunder Lizards did not migrate away, a new fourth-tier low-grade demonic beast, the Thunder Dragon Crocodile, appeared on the island. It was probably sent by the fourth-tier high-grade Thunder Flood Dragon to protect the Thunder Lizard herd.

How could a mere fourth-order low-grade demon beast possibly be a match for Zhou Chun in his true form?

He stealthily approached the vicinity of the Thunder Dragon Crocodile's habitat, and by the time it sensed something was wrong and discovered his presence, it was already too late.

The one-horned white snake opened its mouth and spat out nine invisible ice needles that silently pierced the eyes and heart of the lightning dragon crocodile, easily severely injuring the fourth-tier low-grade demon beast.

Then, without even giving it a chance to self-destruct its demon core, the one-horned white snake spat out a stream of pure cold air, instantly freezing it into an ice sculpture.

After easily killing the Thunder Dragon Crocodile, the One-Horned White Serpent withdrew its nine invisible ice needles and then dismembered the Thunder Dragon Crocodile's corpse and stored it in its storage bag.

Then its body suddenly swelled and grew larger, transforming into a giant white-scaled python that was tens of feet long.

The giant python burst out of the Thunder Dragon Crocodile's lair and quickly traversed most of Thunder Lizard Island. It also "casually" froze the two reappearing Tier 3 Thunder Dragon Lizards on the island into ice sculptures and took their demon cores.

He then swaggered into the Dragon Abyss and quickly disappeared from sight.

The thunder lizards on the island and the only remaining thunder dragon lizard could only tremble and watch the giant python leave, not daring to utter a single sound.

Speaking of which, the Thunder Lizard Beast clan on this island has been in dire straits ever since they encountered the Zhou family cultivators.

First, the [Zhuyuan Fruit] tree, which was beneficial to the growth of offspring, was stolen. Then, Zhou Chun killed the leader and stole many beast eggs.

Now that they have finally had a hundred years to recuperate and recover some of their strength, Zhou Chun has killed their newly grown leader. They are truly unlucky!

On the other side, after Zhou Chun's transformed white-scaled giant python left Thunder Lizard Island, it immediately shrank its size to only a few feet long, and then swam towards the shore without much concealment of its aura.

Because of the powerful aura of his avatar, he was almost the strongest in the outer area of ​​Longyuan Marsh outside Longyuan, so he could be said to be unrestrained on the way back.

On the way, a mid-grade fourth-tier fish demon, whose aura was unfamiliar and who had appeared in his territory, tried to come over and argue with him. However, he was instantly frozen by a cold breath and almost lost half his life.

After finally managing to unleash the power of its demon core and break free from its restraints, the fish demon immediately fled without a word, never daring to appear in his sight again.

Zhou Chun's original intention was to create a veneer of a powerful dragon crossing the river, so of course he wouldn't hunt down this fish demon.

He charged recklessly, and when he encountered anyone in his way, he would only use one move. Those who could survive would live, and those who couldn't would die, leaving very clear clues for his pursuers.

As he approached the shore, he indeed sensed the aura of the fourth-tier high-grade thunder dragon.

Over a hundred years have passed, and the aura of this fourth-order superior-grade thunder dragon has also increased significantly, now reaching the point where it can trigger a heavenly tribulation.

However, it clearly did not have the same confidence as Lei Jiao Bai Bai, and dared not easily attempt to transcend the tribulation before it was fully prepared.

Upon discovering this, Zhou Chun was not surprised but rather delighted.

As long as this thunder dragon's cultivation level doesn't break through to a higher realm, any improvement in its cultivation will only bring it benefits, not harm.

Half an hour later, the furious Thunder Dragon caught up with Zhou Chun, who had transformed into a one-horned white snake.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, a thick bolt of silver lightning descended from the sky, striking the one-horned white snake in the water.

Meanwhile, the white unicorn snake was enveloped in white ice light, instantly condensing water into ice and forming layers of solid ice around its body to withstand the lightning strikes.

After shattering several layers of solid ice in succession, the silver lightning bolt exhausted its power and could no longer pose a threat to the one-horned white snake inside.

But since that thunder dragon had made its move, it certainly wouldn't just use one move.

Soon, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket pierced through the air, giving the one-horned white snake no chance to catch its breath.

Unfortunately, this thunder dragon was unaware that its opponent was intimately familiar with the thunder dragon clan's abilities and had already taken various precautions.

As the lightning bolt struck, the one-horned white snake instantly transformed into solid ice, sealing itself within a thick layer of ice.

The lightning bolt struck the solid ice, cracking the massive block of ice, but ultimately lacked the power to fully achieve its goal.

After blocking the opponent's three-pronged attack, the one-horned white snake quickly retaliated, spitting out a beam of white ice light towards the thunder dragon.

Naturally, Lei Jiao easily dodged this attack using his lightning escape technique.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Thunder Dragon dodged its own attack, the One-Horned White Serpent suddenly accelerated, quickly transforming into a white streak and shooting towards the land not far away.

Seeing this, Lei Jiao would not give up so easily. He immediately used his superior lightning escape technique to pursue and kill the one-horned white snake.

The dragon and the snake chased each other, fighting fiercely along the way, causing quite a commotion in the wilderness.

However, because of the presence of a fourth-tier superior-grade thunder dragon, other fourth-tier demonic beasts along the way noticed this situation but obediently pretended not to see it and had no intention of going over to join in the fun.

The monsters in this desolate land are, in essence, servants of the dragon clan. If other monsters bully the dragons, they might immediately step in to help.

However, when they encounter a dragon chasing other monsters, they pretend not to see it and dare not interfere.

Undoubtedly, this was also within Zhou Chun's expectations.

As he and Lei Jiao pursued each other, Lei Jiao discovered that the one-horned white snake was not made of flesh and blood.

After all, Lei Jiao was no weakling; under continuous and fierce attacks, it was impossible for him not even to break through Lei Jiao's skin.

However, given that he had already reached this point and had never used any magic weapons, Lei Jiao would at most regard him as a member of the spirit race, and would never have imagined that he was an avatar of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, Lei Jiao's pursuit did not stop.

This chase lasted for more than an hour, spanning thousands of miles, until Zhou Chun finally lured the Thunder Dragon to the designated ambush location.

Apart from its location, this ambush site had no disadvantages for Lei Jiao, so after chasing the One-Horned White Serpent here, it had no scruples and continued to unleash its offensive at will.

When the two arrived at the mountain peak where the Golden-Armored Mountain Tortoise was lying in ambush, the Thunder Dragon, just like before, used the surprise attack effect of the Thunder Escape Technique to appear beside the One-Horned White Serpent in a flash, and slammed its dragon claw, which was crackling with lightning, down on the One-Horned White Serpent's head.

Before this, the one-horned white snake would always try to dodge such a fierce attack.

This time, however, the one-horned white snake neither dodged nor avoided, but directly met the dragon's claw head-on with its horn flashing with ice light!

In an instant, white ice light and silver lightning flashed and clashed, and the head of the one-horned white snake was quickly smashed by the lightning dragon's claw.

At the same time, the white ice light released by the unicorn serpent also formed a layer of frost on the thunder dragon's body, causing its body to stiffen briefly.

It's now!

The Golden Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone, which had been lying in ambush for a long time, suddenly launched a powerful attack. A yellowish-brown stone mountain surrounded by a hazy [Primal Magnetic Divine Light] burst out of the ground and quickly smashed into the Thunder Dragon, whose body was in a state of paralysis.

This attack instantly blasted the thunder dragon, which was tens of meters long, to the ground, sending shattered dragon scales and dragon blood flying everywhere.

Lei Jiao's bones and internal organs were broken in countless ways during this attack, and he almost fainted on the spot!

However, the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone was relentless in its pursuit. After smashing its target down, it immediately spat out its demon core and used it as a weapon to strike the falling Thunder Dragon.

At this moment, Lei Jiao's body was almost crippled, and he could not use his lightning escape technique. Faced with the fierce attack of the demon core, he could only instinctively spit out his own demon core to fight back.

After the two demon cores collided in mid-air, they were immediately blasted away by the powerful force they contained, and each of them was cracked and seriously damaged.

However, compared to the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone, the Thunder Dragon was undoubtedly much more miserable.

Its physical body had been almost destroyed by the stone's attack, and now its demon core had been severely damaged, affecting its demon soul and consciousness, causing it to become somewhat disoriented.

Just then, a golden pearl suddenly appeared in the sky, and a beam of golden light shot out from it, instantly landing on the demon core that the thunder dragon had flown away.

Upon being illuminated by that golden light, Lei Jiao immediately felt that the connection between himself and the demon core had become extremely weak, as if he would lose the demon core at any moment.

This discovery terrified it, and it hurriedly mustered its remaining strength to try and retrieve the demon core.

But at that moment, nine invisible ice needles suddenly shot into its body through its wounds and the dragon's mouth. A terrifying cold poison rapidly erupted within its body, and even its demonic soul was inevitably attacked.

As it struggled to resist the effects of the cold poison and retract its demon core, the Golden Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone, which had already swallowed the demon core, once again urged the earthen-yellow stone mountain to smash down on its body!

After that, the world seemed to become quiet again.

The Thunder Dragon Demon Core in the sky, which had been struggling, quickly lost its spiritual light.

At this moment, Zhou Chun, who had somehow returned to human form, simply raised his hand and released a beam of white light to collect the Thunder Dragon Demon Core and put it into the jade box that had been prepared beforehand.

He then tossed the jade box containing the demon core to Zhou Zhiying, who had just activated the [Boundless Golden Light Pearl], and instructed Zhou Zhiying to put the injured Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone into his spirit beast bag.

Then he instructed his disciple, "I'll leave the demon core and the stone to you, Ying'er. Return them to me as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about this place."

"Yes, disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"

Zhou Zhiying solemnly replied and then quickly left with the demon core.

Zhou Chun, after a moment's thought, looked at the Thunder Dragon's corpse on the ground and put it into a storage bag. He then cleaned up the scene, erasing the auras of Zhou Zhiying and the Golden Armor Mountain-Bearing Turtle Stone, leaving only his own aura.

After doing all this, he took the storage bag containing Lei Jiao's corpse and left the scene.

Not long after, Zhou Chun released the corpse of the Thunder Dragon in a cold underground cave in the wilderness and froze it in solid ice to prevent its aura from dissipating. He then left behind a strong aura of his own in the area.

In this way, even if the Jiaolong clan possesses the means to track the location of fallen members' corpses through bloodlines, they will only be able to find this place.

Even if a demon king of the dragon clan suspects Zhou Chun's true identity, the suspicion against him will be greatly reduced if there is no evidence that the Thunder Dragon died at the hands of human cultivators.

Of course, Zhou Chun did this just in case.

If he's just overthinking it, he can still come back and retrieve the thunder dragon's corpse later.

In short, after doing everything he could, Zhou Chun's avatar quickly left the wilderness and headed directly towards his original body.

To avoid being tracked, this avatar may need to go into hibernation for a while!

I developed a fever after taking a hot shower last night. I don't know what happened. I only have 5,000 words to write today!!
