Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 146 - 144: Corpse, Vine

An Ruhui moved swiftly like the wind, reaching the vicinity of the clouds in the blink of an eye. Seeing the Water Spirit attempting to escape within the clouds, she raised her hand and released several Spirit Talismans while softly chanting, "Seal! Bind! Subdue the Spirit!"

Instantly, immense forces bound all Spiritual Power within a radius of several dozen yards.

Over the years, the lineage of Creation Peak had deeply studied various Natural Creatures and amassed countless experiences and methods to capture them.

Furthermore, because the descendants of Creation Peak were few, the sect took extra care of each generation of disciples, especially in assisting them with the capture of their Lifebound entities, which was a particularly attentive matter.

Before their departure, the Creation Peak Master prepared measures against various Natural Creatures to prevent them from escaping upon encounter.

Natural Creatures, born from the Creation of heaven and earth, inherently mastered various Escape Techniques. Thus, these sealing and suppressing Spirit Talismans were essential items for them.

At this moment, the Spirit Talismans triggered by An Ruhui were the most commonly used methods by the lineage of Creation Peak for capturing Natural Creatures. They could bind all Spiritual Power within a hundred yards and suppress all life within that space, unless the strength of this Water Spirit was formidable enough to rival a Golden Core and break free from this binding force in an instant.

However, no foreign lifeform was allowed to break through to a power greater than Golden Core in this secret realm, a rule set by the owner of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.

The reason why this Cave Heaven World drifted in the void was due to the Demon Clan’s invasion during the Ancient Great Tribulation period. The Ancient powerhouse controlling this Cave Heaven World had no choice but to exile the core area of their sect deep into the void. At the same time, to limit the strength of the Demon Clan, they altered the laws of the Cave Heaven World to its current state.

While powerful demons could still fight against the suppressive force of the Cave Heaven, they were definitely affected significantly. After the strongest demons and Human Clan powerhouses fell one after another, the surviving demons might have won, but they lost the ability to leave the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven and ultimately perished here.

However, those original demons left behind their bloodline; otherwise, so many Demon Beasts wouldn’t appear here. Even so, these Demon Beasts were restricted by the laws of the Cave Heaven World, able to cultivate only up to the peak of Foundation Establishment. Any further advancement would trigger the Cave Heaven Law and invoke the suppressive force.

This also reassured various Sects to allow less powerful disciples to enter in search of opportunities.

They even hoped that if their disciples were fortunate enough and stumbled upon the inheritance of this Cave Heaven by coincidence, they might refine and assimilate this Cave Heaven.

A Cave Heaven Blessed Land, for any sect, was a crucial opportunity for growth.

Because not only was the Cave Heaven World abundant with Spiritual Energy, making it an excellent cultivation blessed land, it could also be concealed, making it difficult for enemies to discover. It could serve as the core inheritance land for a sect. Even if their external Mountain Gate was destroyed, as long as the Cave Heaven remained, they would still have a chance to rise again.

Of course, in cases like the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven, where even the people inside perished, it would simply benefit others.

Cave Heavens were rare; the Beast Taming Sect had only the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven, and Taiyi Mountain had only the Golden Light Cave Heaven, yet these became their strongest foundations.

In fact, only sects that owned an independent Cave Heaven World could be considered a Great Force. Many medium and small sects developed slowly simply because they lacked such blessed lands to accumulate foundations and cultivate disciples.

Unfortunately, many coveted this Cave Heaven, but to this day, no one had obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm. Some speculated that perhaps the inheritance here was destroyed by the invading Demon Clan during the Ancient Times.

Of course, it was also possible that the Ancient Human Clan powerhouses, to prevent it from falling into demonic hands, had hidden the inheritance in some secret location within the Secret Realm yet to be discovered.

With An Ruhui’s sealing, the Water Spirit immediately became immobile.

Although it possessed Innate Divine Abilities, its birth was not long ago, and influenced invisibly by the Cave Heaven Law, its Spiritual Intelligence was vague, acting only on instinct, hence its strength wasn’t very strong. Subdued and sealed from all directions by An Ruhui’s successive Spirit Talismans, it directly lost the ability to escape.

Yet this Water Spirit was indeed gifted. Sensing that it couldn’t use the external Spiritual Power, a stream of water suddenly gushed from its body, transforming into thousands of droplets like arrows, whistling toward An Ruhui while desperately struggling to break free and escape.

An Ruhui’s body emitted a flash of Spirit Light, using the Wind Elf’s Divine Skills to transform herself into a breeze, letting the raindrops pass through her body without causing any harm.

Of course, this was also due to the Water Spirit’s inadequate strength. If it were any stronger, An Ruhui wouldn’t dare allow its attacks, as the breeze she transformed into might get dispersed, potentially causing her serious injury.

After turning into a breeze, An Ruhui quickly arrived in front of the Water Spirit, took a close look, and discovered that the Water Spirit was actually a clear stream of water with no fixed form, capable of changing its shape at will.

She didn’t linger, fearful that the Water Spirit might have some means of escape, and promptly took out a Jade Bottle, capturing the Water Spirit inside and sealing the bottle. Only then did she descend with a face full of joy.

"Ha ha, this trip is really lucky."

An Ruhui handed the Jade Bottle to Qin Xi, smiling, "Junior sister, keep it for now. This isn’t the time to refine it. Once we return to the Mountain Gate, you can refine it into your Lifebound."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Qin Xi also received the Jade Bottle with a face full of surprise. Although she couldn’t see the Water Spirit inside, she couldn’t help but stroke the bottle for a few moments before carefully putting it away.

With the Water Spirit, her path of cultivation was now certain.

Beside her, Wen Qing’er was both happy and envious. After congratulating Qin Xi for a few sentences, she couldn’t help but imagine what kind of natural creature her own lifebound spirit would be.

Meanwhile, she was also worried, unsure whether there were other natural creatures born in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm. If not, she would have to return empty-handed.

"Let’s go, let’s look around Moyun Ridge once more; if we don’t find anything, we’ll search elsewhere."

An Ruhui suppressed the joy in her heart and led the group up the mountain.

After spending another hour, they scoured the areas above the clouds of Moyun Ridge but didn’t discover a second natural creature.

As expected, they weren’t discouraged; thus, they left Moyun Ridge and continued searching elsewhere.

Over the next three days, they visited places where predecessors from Creation Peak had found natural creatures, but to no avail.

Wen Qing’er let out a sigh.

It was an unavoidable situation. The conditions for the birth of natural creatures were extremely stringent. Even though the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm was rarely visited, every sixty years, thousands of cultivators would enter, significantly disturbing many areas and thus also killing the potential for some natural creatures to be born. Finding one this time was already quite fortunate.

"Don’t lose heart."

An Ruhui smiled and comforted her, "Let’s look in other places; the secret realm is so vast, there might be natural creatures born in some hidden spots. Even if there aren’t, we can search other places after leaving. Don’t worry, the Peak Master won’t neglect you."

"Okay."

Wen Qing’er nodded her little head and perked up again. With the support of her senior sister and the elders from Creation Peak, sooner or later, she would find a suitable lifebound spirit. It was just a matter of time, and there was no reason to be upset.

This time, they were no longer in a rush. They started heading towards areas where spiritual energy gathered. After all, the birth of natural creatures definitely relied on spiritual energy; generally speaking, the places with thicker spiritual energy were more likely to give birth to such creatures.

The original large Spirit Veins of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm had been scattered during the Ancient Great Tribulation by powerful beings of the Demon Clan, making the veins particularly disjointed, broken into hundreds of medium and small Spirit Veins scattered around. Unless a powerful being gathered these veins to reform a large Spirit Vein, it was difficult to restore it to the state from ancient times.

Now, Qin Feng and the others headed towards these gathering spots of Spirit Veins and in the course of their journey, they started competing with Demon Beasts and cultivators from other sects for various spiritual medicines.

Since they no longer had a specific destination, they were not in a hurry and took the opportunity to seize some treasures.

Two days later, they reached a dense forest.

This forest was lush with vegetation, and the trees were tall and straight, making them feel as if they were dwarfs in a Giant Kingdom as they walked through it.

Continuing forward, they ventured deep into the forest, eventually reaching the core area.

While the group talked softly and collected some spiritual wood and medicines, they suddenly heard intense sounds of fighting coming from ahead.

They immediately lightened their steps and concealed their presence, cautiously moving towards the source of the noise.

Shortly after, they came upon a huge, round pit in the forest ahead.

The pit was three hundred zhang in diameter and several dozen zhang deep; it grew deeper towards the inside as if a massive meteor had created the pit.

Inside the pit lay scattered bones, both human and various Demon Beasts. Except for a few corpses that had died recently, most of the skeletons had turned eerily white, clearly dead for many years.

And at the center of the pit lay a unique corpse.

This skeleton was dozens of zhang large, recognizable by its sharp teeth and the thick bones and claws on its body; it was obviously a powerful member of the Demon Clan during its life.

On the skull of the skeleton grew a green vine, which bore a blood-red flower, emitting a faint fragrance.

Around it, several cultivators from the Human Clan and Demon Beasts were fighting over the vine.
