Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 147 - 145 Thumbelina

The battle was extremely brutal, with both the Human Clan Cultivators and Demon Beasts disregarding their own lives as they plunged into the frenzy of combat.

Some of the cultivators and Demon Beasts had their limbs severed, chests and abdomens pierced, blood flowing everywhere, and covered in wounds, yet they still didn’t make any moves to flee, holding their Spiritual Artifacts, casting various spells, and even lunging forward to attack their opponents in madness.

Such frenzied slaughter deeply shocked Qin Feng and the others, and Wen Qing’er was particularly terrified by the bloody and brutal scene.

They couldn’t believe these people were so desperate. Could that vine or the flower be so precious as to make them ignore their very lives?

If anyone could emerge victorious from this style of battle, they would still be left with severe injuries, their strength reduced to barely a tenth of their peak.

To suffer such grievous wounds within the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, let alone becoming a target for other cultivators, they likely wouldn’t even make it out of the forest but would end up in the stomachs of other Demon Beasts.

Or was it that these people were confident that the mysterious flower could heal their wounds in a short amount of time and bring them substantial benefits?

But what kind of mysterious item was it?

After discussing among themselves, Qin Feng and his companions confirmed that none of them recognized the mysterious flower. Could it be that those embroiled in the battle below had wider knowledge than them?

But looking at their clothing and appearance, among them were quite a few who clearly belonged to minor sects; their horizons and knowledge couldn’t possibly be greater than the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

However, they noticed that among the cultivators fighting over the enormous carcass, there were no disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. The Demon Beasts that appeared here were likely all wild beasts from within the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.

This relieved Qin Feng and his companions. Since there were no fellow sect members here, they were in no rush to show themselves. The intensity of the battle was such that if they were to join, any slight misstep could lead to their deaths; the risk was too high.

They cautiously hid on the periphery, carefully watching.

Perhaps, they could wait for these cultivators and Demon Beasts to finish fighting, then swoop in to take advantage of the situation.

Although they didn’t know what kind of celestial plant the vine was that it could drive these people to fight to the death over it, nor did they know the specific miraculous effects of the flower that bloomed from it, the flower was clearly extraordinary. They could distinctly smell its fragrance from over three hundred yards away.

Inhaling that faint enchanting scent, they felt refreshed and clear-headed. As they smelled it longer, it felt as though even their Divine Sense had grown stronger and their Divine Souls felt somewhat uplifted, making them unable to resist the urge to move closer.

"That flower must be an exceptional treasure. Even from such a distance it is so alluring; I wonder how many benefits we would gain from refining it."

An Ruhui spoke softly, her gaze somewhat hazy.

A gleam of fiery longing flashed through Qin Feng’s heart, and he nodded in agreement, "Yes, if we could bring it back and have the sect elders refine it into Elixir Pills for us to consume, it would surely bring endless benefits to our future Cultivation, and we would have hopeful prospects on the Immortal Dao."

"The flower is so beautiful. Why don’t we also try to snatch that miraculous flower?"

At that moment, Wen Qing’er seemed to have mustered quite a lot of courage as she said, "Those people are already severely injured; they couldn’t possibly be our match."

"This..."

For some reason, they all vaguely felt something was amiss, yet they couldn’t pinpoint where that feeling of inappropriateness was coming from.

Among them, An Ruhui had the strongest Cultivation, yet even she didn’t detect anything wrong.

At this moment, for some reason, the image of a person appeared in her mind. He was tall and straight, handsome with a determined look in his eyes, powerful, his whole being exuded an unyielding spirit, as if he dared to contend with the heavens and battle the earth, never surrendering, valiant and fearless.

That person was a secret buried in the deepest part of her heart.

The year she first met him, she was deeply captivated by him.

She thought, maybe that was what liking someone was like.

However, he held a high status, and his Cultivation was strong, which made her feel ashamed and unworthy, so she kept that thread of affection buried in her heart, never speaking of it to anyone.

But now, she felt that if she could obtain that enchanting miraculous flower, she might have a chance to accomplish the Dao, to be worthy of his status.

Thus, a desire arose in her heart, as if obtaining that miraculous flower would fulfill her dreams, giving her everything she desired.

So, she spoke those words and agreed with Qin Feng and Wen Qing’er, even contemplating charging over to slay all the fighting cultivators and Demon Beasts and seize the miraculous flower for herself.

Yet she still had a vague sense that something was not quite right, and she found herself struggling with the decision.

Qin Feng, too, was overcome by the impulse to rush down there. Compared to An Ruhui, his desire for immortality was even stronger.

He no longer wanted to experience the fear of death and yearned for longevity, eternity, inexhaustible life, and formidable strength.

He wanted to heal his father’s Divine Soul injury, a long-held wish of his. He wanted his father to join him on the path to longevity; otherwise, being alone felt too lonely.

And it seemed that obtaining that miraculous flower could make all his thoughts a reality.

Qin Xi’s mind was filled with memories of her childhood, recalling the poverty she had experienced until she became a cultivator and opened her Spiritual Acupoint, which led to her being taken into the family estate and taught the ways of Cultivation.

She remembered her affectionate mother, her hardworking father, and her younger siblings.

Once, she too had thought how wonderful it would be if her whole family could cultivate.

Unfortunately, that notion was fleeting and was soon suppressed, as she knew it was simply impossible.

Now, however, it seemed that if she could obtain that miraculous flower, she might be able to make it all happen.

Beside her, Wen Qing’er was daydreaming too.

The girl’s eyes shone as she stared fixedly at the miraculous flower, a pure smile appearing on her face.

She reached out her hand, wanting to grab that flower. If she could wear it on her head, she would be the most adorable girl in not just Creation Peak… but in the entire Beast Taming Sect.

At that time, the Peak Master would pat her head and praise her for being sensible, and her fellow disciple sisters would look at her with envy, complimenting her beauty.

But the flower was too far away; her hand couldn’t reach it.

So she walked forward, intending to get in front of the enchanted flower and pick it.

As for the cultivators and Demon Beasts that were fighting fiercely for their lives, they no longer existed in her eyes.

With her movement, Qin Feng and the others were also affected, involuntarily following her and moving forward.

Although they vaguely felt that something was wrong, the allure of the enchanted flower was too great, tempting even An Ruhui, whose Cultivation was the highest, to walk forward.

"Ouch..."

Suddenly, Wen Qing’er cried out in pain, stumbling over a stone and falling to the ground, her little head banging against a large tree root in front of her, raising a big lump on her head instantly.

The little girl, with tears brimming in her eyes, reached out her small hand to cover her forehead, and after getting up somewhat awkwardly, she indignantly stomped on the tree root a couple of times to vent her frustration before she felt better.

Then, lifting her head, she saw Senior Sister An and her fellow disciples, Qin Feng and Qin Xi, still dazedly walking past her.

She pulled on An Ruhui’s sleeve in confusion and asked, "Senior Sister, they haven’t finished fighting yet, are we going over there now?"

When An Ruhui was pulled by her, she immediately snapped out of it, and without saying another word, she took out a Heart-Clearing Talisman and activated it. An invisible energy swept across the area, bringing Qin Feng and Qin Xi back to their senses as well.

"That flower is strange, its scent is problematic, hold your breath, let’s get out of here first."

The group quickly fled from the area, running toward the distance, until they were more than a hundred paces away. They could still smell the faint fragrance of the flower.

An Ruhui stopped walking and summoned a gust of wind with a wave of her hand, dispersing all the surrounding scents. Then she rapidly laid down a simple Forbidden Technique on the ground to block the outside scent from invading, then she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s definitely not some miracle flower that enhances one’s Cultivation Dao, it’s a malevolent object that can bewitch the mind."

An Ruhui spoke up, "Those people probably weren’t fighting over the flower itself but were seduced by its scent and lost their sanity, resulting in frenzied combat."

"How terrifying."

Wen Qing’er, who already remembered her earlier uncontrollable action, couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear in her heart. She didn’t want to end up like those cultivators who lost their reason and fought madly, so she looked toward An Ruhui and said, "If that thing is so dreadful, Senior Sister, let’s hurry up and leave this place."

"No rush; we’re quite far from there. As long as we don’t continuously smell the scent of that flower, there shouldn’t be any major problems."

After pondering for a moment, An Ruhui continued, "I’ve seen something similar recorded in the Sect’s ancient scrolls documenting the Ancient Great Tribulation. Back when the Heavenly Demon Realm invaded, there were powerful beings from the Heavenly Demon Clan who used the Confusing God Flower to lure Human Clan Cultivators into fighting each other, triggering a civil war within the Human Clan, which led to heavy losses."

"That flower might very well be the Confusing God Flower, it’s just that it hasn’t grown to the legendary stage yet. Otherwise, even if we hadn’t approached it, we wouldn’t have been able to wake up so easily.

Such a wondrous object, it would really be a pity to let it go. Let’s try to see if there’s a way to take the vine with us as well. If it can be cultivated in the future, it might be very useful for the Sect."

Wen Qing’er was somewhat baffled, "But as soon as we go over, we might get lost, how do we collect it?"

"Wait and see for now, let’s wait until all the cultivators and Demon Beasts are dead and see if the fragrance of the flower dissipates."

After saying this, An Ruhui raised her hand to release her Spiritual Bird, letting it fly to a high place in the sky where it couldn’t smell the fragrance, to help her observe the battle below.

Seeing that Wen Qing’er and Qin Xi were also about to release their Spiritual Birds to watch the fight, Qin Feng gestured with his hand and said, "Keep the Spiritual Birds, if there are several different types of Spiritual Birds circling in the sky at the same time, it’s very likely to attract the attention of other cultivators. They might come over to investigate, and no matter if we can collect the Confusing God Flower or not, it will cause some trouble."

"That makes sense."

The two women nodded at his words and obediently put their Spiritual Birds back into their Spiritual Beast Bags.

However, Qin Feng simply waved his hand, and the Ruyi Golden Snake on his wrist transformed into a streak of golden light and flew out. He planned to use the Ruyi Golden Snake to take a look at the state of the battle.

The Ruyi Golden Snake was under his control, and as long as he did not lose himself, he could always call back the Ruyi Golden Snake, so he was not afraid of his Lifebound Spiritual Beast being enticed by the Confusing God Flower.

However, just to be safe, he first let it probe cautiously from outside the prohibited area. When he discovered that although the fragrance also invaded the Divine Sense of the Ruyi Golden Snake, his own body was not much affected, he then confidently let the Ruyi Golden Snake go over to investigate.

In the deep pit, the gruesome battle had nearly reached its end, all Demon Beasts had been slain by cultivators, and among those cultivators, only the last two were still crazily fighting.

Soon, the battle was over, with only one cultivator left, covered with wounds, staggering forward. He laboriously tried to climb onto a corpse’s skull to pluck that enchantingly beautiful and odd flower.

However, just as he approached the corpse, and got near to the vine, the vine suddenly lashed out, entangling his entire body.

Afterward, fine tendrils extended from the vine, piercing deep into his body, sucking away his blood and Spiritual Power. In just a moment, the cultivator was shriveled up into a mummy.

At the same time, even more vines, like sinuous Spiritual Snakes, started to climb over the bodies of the already dead cultivators and Demon Beasts, similarly enveloping them, beginning to suck away the qi and blood as well as the Spiritual Power.

As Qin Feng, controlling the Ruyi Golden Snake, flew closer to observe, he could even hear the sizzling sound of absorption.

Qin Feng felt a chill in his heart as he watched; this truly might be something left by the Ancient Heavenly Demon Realm, otherwise, how could it be so vicious and terrifying?

After absorbing, the lush green leaves on the vines turned vibrant, as if they were tree leaves soaked with new rain, brimming with vigorous vitality.

And the enchantingly beautiful red flower on the vine had grown even more vivid, so red it seemed like it could drip blood.

Afterward, the originally half-open red flower suddenly bloomed completely, then a thumb-sized figure emerged from the flower.

That figure wore a bright red dress and even had a pair of crimson butterfly wings on her back, flapping slightly as she hovered midair, captivating and beautiful.
