Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Having confirmed that Zhou Mingde was trapped in the Void Realm, Zhou Chun's current task was to enter and rescue him.

However, at this time, the entrance to the Void Secret Realm was occupied and guarded by the three major forces of Wuyang Kingdom, and there were as many as four Nascent Soul stage cultivators gathered there, including a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Although Zhou Chun might not be afraid of them, it would obviously not be an easy task to send his avatar and spirit pet into the Void Secret Realm under their guard.

Forcing it will only make things more complicated.

However, if he were to directly state his intentions, he worried that Zhou Mingde might have been injured by cultivators from the three major powers. In that case, the other party would probably be even less willing to let him send his avatar and spirit pet into the Void Secret Realm, thus denying him the opportunity to find evidence.

Therefore, how to achieve his own goals without first making enemies with these local cultivators became a difficult problem for Zhou Chun to ponder.

"Perhaps we could do that!"

After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he came up with a brilliant idea.

He first hid his avatar inside the Golden-Winged Tiger's "spatial pouch," then summoned the Silver Dragon Lord, and together they rode the Golden-Winged Tiger towards the entrance to the Void Realm.

Before he even reached within 300 miles of the entrance to the Void Secret Realm, he was already discovered by cultivators from the three major forces of Wuyang Kingdom, attracting the attention of Nascent Soul stage cultivators from all three forces.

Two streaks of light, one yellow and one red, flew swiftly from the entrance to the Void Realm and intercepted Zhou Chun about two hundred miles away.

Then, the owner of the fiery red escape light, a bald, burly man in a red robe, spoke directly to Zhou Chun in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist, stop! The Void Secret Realm ahead has been jointly taken over by the three families of my Wuyang Kingdom. Please do not make things difficult for us!"

As the bald, burly man spoke, he also looked at the Silver Dragon Lord beside Zhou Chun with surprise, his eyes revealing a hint of fear.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun calmly replied, "The Void Secret Realm has always been an unclaimed territory. Any cultivator who comes across it can enter and explore it based on their own abilities. It's a bit excessive for you fellow cultivators to forcibly occupy the entrance and prevent others from entering!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bald, burly man's eyes changed, and his tone suddenly hardened: "Although the Void Secret Realm is unclaimed land, its appearance within the territory of Wuyang Kingdom constitutes an opportunity for us Wuyang Kingdom cultivators. Fellow Daoist is not a citizen of Wuyang Kingdom, so I'm afraid you have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Wuyang Kingdom!"

"What if I insist on giving it a try?"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly became much harsher.

The Silver Dragon Lord behind him glared, his eyes flashing with silver lightning.

The atmosphere in the sky suddenly became tense.

At this moment, another elderly man in a yellow robe, who had arrived at the same time as the bald giant, finally broke his silence and spoke up.

"You must be Fellow Daoist Chun Jun from Jing Kingdom. A few years ago, I heard that a fellow cultivator in Jing Kingdom had raised a fifth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon spirit pet and even managed to escape from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. I suppose that person must be you!"

He immediately knew Zhou Chun's background and origins.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun glanced at the old man in yellow robes with slight surprise, then nodded calmly and said, "That's right, it is indeed me, Zhou!"

Upon hearing his admission, the bald, burly man's pupils contracted, and he looked at him with even greater apprehension.

All three were at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the bald, burly man knew that if he faced the full force of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he would be severely injured in one move and would definitely not last more than three moves!

Zhou Chun was able to escape from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so his strength must be no less than that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Looking at the old man in the yellow robe, his expression changed slightly after Zhou Chun admitted his origins, and he knew that things were getting complicated.

If what he heard wasn't an exaggeration, even if he were tied up with the bald giant right now, they probably wouldn't be a match for Master Zhou Chun!

If a conflict were to actually occur, they would most likely suffer significant losses.

He immediately began communicating with the bald, burly man telepathically, mainly informing him of the information he knew about Zhou Chun's strength, in order to prevent the man from acting impulsively and recklessly, thus avoiding irreversible consequences.

The bald, burly man listened to his words with increasing trepidation, feeling as if he were hearing a legendary tale.

However, such things that seem like legends will obviously have two different effects when told by low-level cultivators and Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

The bald, burly man didn't believe that the old man in the yellow robe would lie to him under such circumstances, and that the other party had absolutely no reason to lie to him.

After a brief conversation, the two quickly reached a consensus.

If we can avoid fighting Zhou Chun, then we should try our best not to fight him for now!

Having reached this consensus, the old man in the yellow robe looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you must know that most Void Realms exclude Nascent Soul stage cultivators like us. This Void Realm is no exception; otherwise, we would have already entered it by now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied without hesitation, "That's simple. My pet is currently only at the fourth rank of cultivation, so I'll let it enter the Void Secret Realm in my place to explore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden-winged tiger beneath him immediately responded in human language, "Master, rest assured, Flying Tiger will do his utmost to accomplish the task you have entrusted to me!"

This fourth-tier high-grade demon beast was able to speak human language ahead of time, which made the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators take a second look at it.

Then the two of them frowned and began to discuss the matter telepathically.

After a moment, the old man in the yellow robe spoke up, saying, "This matter cannot be fully decided by the two of us alone. Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Zhou, while we send a message to discuss it with other fellow Daoists before giving you an answer."

"I'll only wait half an hour. If it takes longer, don't blame me for not giving you both face!"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and stated his attitude in a firm tone.

"Half an hour should be enough. I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Zhou to wait patiently."

The old man in the yellow robe frowned at first, but then suppressed his displeasure and agreed.

He then communicated with the other two Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were still guarding the entrance to the Void Realm.

In fact, simple communication naturally takes less than half an hour.

However, the old man in the yellow robe deliberately delayed until Zhou Chun's allotted time had passed before nodding at him and saying, "We agree to Fellow Daoist Zhou's request, but only this one of your spirit pets can enter, and you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, must not approach within a hundred miles of the entrance to the Void Secret Realm!"

"That doesn't matter. I'm sure none of you would dare harm my beloved pet!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he and Silver Dragon Lord left the Golden-Winged Tiger's back.

The old man in the yellow robe seemed not to have noticed the warning in his words, and immediately took the Golden-Winged Tiger with him to the entrance of the Void Secret Realm.

A moment later, the Golden-Winged Tiger, led by the old man in the yellow robe, arrived below the entrance to the Void Secret Realm.

The entrance to this secret realm was a silver-white crack hundreds of feet above the ground, about four or five feet long and seven feet wide, radiating a silver-white glow.

As a demon beast with spatial attributes, the Golden-Winged Tiger could sense the rich spatial energy fluctuations there and vaguely detect the vast space contained within.

It turned its head and glanced at the old man in yellow robes who had brought it here. Seeing that the old man had no instructions, it immediately leaped into the air and flew towards the silvery-white crack.

Strangely enough, when the Golden-Winged Tiger arrived within a few dozen feet of the silvery-white rift, its enormous body appeared to shrink rapidly to the size of an ordinary tiger before plunging into the rift!

A short while after the Golden-Winged Tiger entered the Void Secret Realm, Zhou Chun, who was observing from a distance, had a glint of light in his eyes and revealed a hint of joy.

He can still maintain a connection with the avatar hidden in the Golden-Winged Tiger, although this connection is very weak, it has never been severed.

In this way, he might not be able to keep up with the experiences of his avatar, but he can still generally keep the avatar running and allow it to exert its full potential.

……

In a pitch-black cave, Zhou Mingde lay pale on the cold ground, his eyes closed and unresponsive.

If it weren't for the faint beating of his heart, one might have thought he was already dead.

Not far from him, the Vulcan Jackal, which had lost one of its left forelimbs and was left with only three legs, was also lying on the ground, barely breathing. Apart from occasionally licking its healed wounds, it would occasionally glance at Zhou Mingde's face, its eyes full of worry.

Previously, when the master and servant encountered a formidable enemy, even though Zhou Mingde used all the trump cards given to him by Zhou Chun, he almost lost his life.

After finally managing to break through and escape, Zhou Mingde only had time to give it some instructions before falling into a coma due to severe injuries to its soul.

However, its severely injured fourth-tier mid-grade demon beast was nothing in this dangerous secret realm. It could only follow Zhou Mingde's instructions before he fell unconscious and take it into this cave to recuperate.

It is possible that Zhou Mingde has been in a coma for several days and still shows no signs of waking up, which fills Vulcan with worry.

It and Zhou Mingde were like father and son, having spent seven or eight hundred years together, so their bond was naturally very deep.

Otherwise, given Zhou Mingde's current state, it would only take a slight action to successfully devour its master and gain complete freedom!

But in the past few days, it has never had any such thoughts, only wanting to wait for its owner to wake up.

Suddenly, the Vulcan Jackal seemed to hear something. Its eyes widened in surprise, and it prickled up its fur and listened intently.

After listening for a while, its expression suddenly changed. Then it glanced at Zhou Mingde, who was still unconscious, and immediately left the underground cave without making a sound.

Meanwhile, after the Golden-Winged Tiger entered this void secret realm, its figure appeared directly above a mountain forest.

It shook its head, flapped its wings and quickly stabilized its falling body, then opened its eyes wide and scanned the mountains and forests below.

Below, a grayish-green miasma swirled in the mountains and forests, and many of the vegetation was covered in brightly colored flowers, clearly indicating that it contained deadly poison.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and decaying matter, and various poisonous insects, snakes and ants could be seen crawling around in it.

Seeing this, it naturally dared not easily fall into the mountains and forests, and quickly released Zhou Chun's incarnation and the wood spirit Mu Sang from its "space pouch".

That's right. Since Zhou Chun was looking for someone and had his avatar "smuggle" into the Void Secret Realm, he naturally had to bring the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry along with him.

At this moment, his avatar was released by the Golden-Winged Tiger, and he was briefly confused.

Once a weak but stable connection was established with the external entity, the avatar's eyes quickly began to glow with spiritual light.

"So this is the Void Realm? The concentration of spiritual energy seems quite high; no wonder the three major powers of Wuyang Kingdom value it so much!"

Zhou Chun also glanced at this place, a look of interest appearing in his eyes.

If the spiritual energy in a void secret realm is thin, it is naturally not very useful and can usually only be used as a warehouse or a prison.

However, if the spiritual energy within is relatively abundant, allowing Golden Core cultivators to cultivate within it, then its value becomes extremely high.

Because that means that many rare and precious medicinal herbs, even some extinct species, will grow here!

If a large number of spiritual herbs with an age of over five thousand years could be discovered, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators would greatly benefit from it.

No wonder the three major powers of Wuyang Kingdom wanted to monopolize this void secret realm.

However, even though he was somewhat interested in this place, he did not forget the purpose of his visit.

With a wave of his hand, he quickly retrieved Zhou Mingde's soul tablet and then used a tracking technique.

Sure enough, after he performed the secret technique, he quickly received clear guidance.

"Go, follow this guiding light!"

With a shout, he and Mu Mei and Mu Sang rode the Golden-Winged Tiger, chasing after a grayish-white spiritual light in a certain direction.

With the Golden-Winged Tiger as his mount, Zhou Chun was able to better observe the situation in this void realm.

At first glance, this place appears to be a wild and primitive landscape, as if it were a place where no human had ever lived.

But after they flew over a hundred miles away, out of the miasma-filled mountains and forests, they saw a series of high mountains ahead, with a group of buildings in the style of cultivators.

Moreover, magical light was also erupting from some places over there, as if cultivators were fighting or attacking certain formations and restrictions.

This shows that this hidden realm in the void originally had an owner.

However, Zhou Chun was in a hurry to find Zhou Mingde, so he could only suppress his desire to explore and ignore the area where the buildings were located.

After flying five or six hundred miles through the Void Realm, Zhou Chun arrived above a seemingly desolate plateau.

This place may already be on the edge of a certain direction of the Void Realm. The spiritual energy is far less concentrated than the places Zhou Chun flew over before, and vegetation is very sparse.

The guiding light that brought Zhou Chun and the others arrived suddenly disappeared into the ravine below when it reached the sky above a certain mountain stream, vanishing without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately released his divine sense to search along the location where the soul-guiding light had disappeared.

A moment later, realizing what had happened, he quickly landed on the Golden-Winged Tiger's back and flew down into the mountain stream.

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a white ice cone materialized out of thin air and shot down to a spot on the ground.

With a loud "boom," the ground was instantly shattered by white ice spikes, revealing a dark cave entrance.

Zhou Chun used his divine sense to probe down the entrance of the cave and quickly found Zhou Mingde, who was still unconscious inside.

When he discovered that Zhou Mingde was only unconscious due to a spiritual injury, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and then personally went down to carry him out.

After lifting the person to the ground, Zhou Chun immediately took out the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] and fed Zhou Mingde a jar of "Purifying Yuan Spirit Water" to help him cleanse and purify the poisonous energy in his body.

Then he took out a [Six Harmonies Soul-Replenishing Pill] and gave it to Zhou Mingde to take, and then helped him dissolve the medicinal power of the pill.

At this opportune moment, the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry also stepped in, using healing magic to help Zhou Mingde regain his vitality.

As the effects of the [Six Harmonies Soul-Replenishing Pill] gradually took hold, Zhou Mingde's damaged soul gradually recovered under the nourishment of the pill's power, and he regained consciousness more than an hour later.

"Elder, how are you feeling? I've already given you the elixir. Please circulate your internal energy to refine and absorb its medicinal power first!"

Zhou Chun looked directly at Zhou Mingde, whose eyelids had just opened a crack, and immediately asked about his condition.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde replied weakly in a low voice, "I'm alright for now. Zheng Chun, you've come at the right time. My spirit pet, the Fire God Jackal, seems to be in bad shape. Please take me there to save it!"

As he said this, a hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly nodded and replied, "In that case, please, Elder, show me the way."

As he spoke, he used his magic to lift Zhou Mingde onto the back of the Golden-Winged Tiger, so that the tiger could guide him.

Although Zhou Mingde was completely incapable of taking action at the moment, it was not difficult for him to give directions, thanks to the mental connection between master and servant.

After flying over a hundred miles in the direction he indicated, Zhou Chunhua found the Fire God Jackal lying in a pool of blood in a valley.

At this moment, the Fire God Jackal was covered with dozens of wounds of various sizes, and its demon core seemed to be severely damaged, and its aura was extremely weak.

Not far from it lay the charred corpse of a demon beast, which appeared to be a wolf demon.

"Firebeard!"

On the back of the golden-winged tiger, Zhou Mingde looked at his beloved pet, whose breath was weak, and let out a low cry filled with heartache.

"It's up to you, Musang."

Zhou Chun then turned his gaze to Mu Mei Mu Sang.

Mu Sang immediately flew to the side of the Fire God Jackal, and a green spiritual light emerged from the antlers on his head, which quickly turned into a sweet dew that fell on the Fire God Jackal.

Nourished by the green rain, the wounds on the Fire God Jackal's body quickly grew bright red flesh and healed completely. Even the severed forelimb began to grow new bone and pinkish-white flesh from the break.

This situation lasted for a full quarter of an hour, until the Fire God Jackal's severed limbs regenerated, at which point the Wood Spirit Mu Sang withdrew its supernatural powers.

"Thank you, Mu-san."

Zhou Mingde looked at Mu Sang with gratitude in his eyes and sincerely thanked him.

Zhou Chun then spoke up, saying, "Mu Sang can only heal its skin and flesh wounds. Its lost vital energy and the damage to its demon core can only be recovered slowly with pills and time."

"I understand. As long as Firebeard's life can be saved, all of this is negotiable!"

Zhou Mingde nodded understandingly, not expecting too much.

So Zhou Chun helped him put the still unconscious Fire God Jackal into the spirit beast bag.

Then, with a serious expression, he asked, "Now, can you tell me who injured you like this?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Mingde's eyes flashed with resentment, and he immediately said bitterly, "I was injured by Pang Zhenyue, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Earth Mother Sect. At the time, I had discovered a patch of [Longevity Grass] in this Void Secret Realm, which was almost extinct outside. I was about to defeat a fourth-order demonic snake guarding the spiritual herb when this person suddenly attacked me!"

"This Pang Zhenyue is a renowned expert in the Earth Mother Sect, and he also possesses a top-grade magic weapon. Even with the assistance of Huo Xu'er and two mid-grade fourth-tier puppets, and even using the life-saving trump cards you gave me, Zheng Chun, I am still no match for him!"

"If I hadn't diligently cultivated the secret method of the 'Heart Lotus True Dharma' over the years, I fear I would have been trapped by his spiritual attack during the breakout!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and said, "Zheng Chun, now that you're here, you absolutely cannot let Pang Zhenyue out. There are over a dozen of those [Longevity Grasses], most of which are over three thousand years old. They're very useful even to Nascent Soul cultivators like you!"

"Rest assured, even without the miraculous herb [Longevity Grass], just the fact that he injured you so badly means I will absolutely not allow him to leave this place alive!"

Zhou Chun agreed without hesitation, his words filled with murderous intent.

Of course, if he could obtain a large quantity of [Longevity Grass], he would certainly accept it with delight.

It should be noted that the "Longevity Grass" is a key ingredient in the refining of longevity pills. Generally, "Longevity Grass" with an age of less than three thousand years is used in medicine. Pills made from it have little effect on Nascent Soul stage cultivators and can only be used to extend the lifespan of Golden Core stage cultivators.

However, pills made from the "Longevity Grass" which is over three thousand years old can have some effect even on Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

If the [Longevity Grass] is over five thousand years old, then when combined with some other rare spiritual herbs, it can be used to refine the [Jiazi Longevity Pill], which can extend life by sixty years. It is a sacred pill for extending life that many Nascent Soul cultivators would fight tooth and nail to obtain!

In today's cultivation world, it is extremely difficult to find an environment suitable for the growth of the [Longevity Grass], and almost no one is willing to sell the seeds of this spiritual herb.

As a result, the longevity pills made from it became something that was only recorded in ancient books and was not something that ordinary cultivators could see at all.

The appearance of the [Longevity Grass] in this Void Realm is a serious threat. If word gets out to Nascent Soul cultivators, the three major powers of Wuyang Kingdom will definitely be unable to defend this Void Realm.

I recommend a friend's new book, "Why Talk About Love When You've Been Reborn?" It's an urban harem novel; if you're interested in that genre, you should check it out! It's snowing heavily outside, so cold!
