Chapter 443: Chapter 441: Emperor’s Flow, Cooked Beast_1
“Very well, Junior Brother Lu, you’re so straightforward. I’ll take you into the Blessed Land immediately.”
Satisfaction spread across Fire Scale Child’s face. He spread his flaming red robe and wrapped Lu Xuan in it.
A dozen breaths later, they arrived at the Array Hall.
Fire Scale Child went to the Teleportation Array and activated the formation.
Amid the chaos, Lu Xuan felt the ground solidify under his feet.
Opening his eyes, a Cloud Sea World came into view.
He was standing on a cloud that was shimmering with colorful light.
Countless big and small clouds gathered together, creating an odd sense of solidity underfoot. Within the clouds, spiritual light would periodically emerge; only when he narrowed his eyes could he see that there were many formation restrictions spread throughout.
In the distance, there were several peculiar buildings formed by clouds.
Fire Scale Child led the curious Lu Xuan to the largest of these structures.
“Elder Uncle Cang Wu, I have brought Junior Brother Lu here.”
As soon as he had finished speaking, a bare-chested cultivator walked out from the Cloud House.
The cultivator had exceptionally vital energy, and his naked upper body was as cast from fine iron. Every action he took exuded a sense of power and grace.
“This is Junior Brother Lu Xuan who I mentioned to you, Uncle. He is adept at cultivating Spiritual Plants and raising Spirit Beasts. There are very few peers within the Sect who have more Spirit Beasts than him.”
“Junior Brother Lu, this is Elder Uncle Cang Wu.”
“Greetings, Uncle.”
Lu Xuan saluted respectfully.
“Disciple Lu, there’s no need for such formality.”
“I’ve heard of your deeds before, like when you put to rest the lingering resentments of the Sect’s Spirit Beast, the Green Xuan Deer, on its deathbed, and what you did when opening a new Blessed Land. However, this is my first time meeting you.”
“I have some business to attend to soon, I will be away for two to three years at the least, possibly seven or eight years at most. So, I’m leaving this Sect’s Blessed Land under your care.”
“I’m honored by your trust, Uncle. I promise to do my very best to manage this Blessed Land.”
Lu Xuan promised solemnly the bare-chested cultivator.
“Good.”
True Man Cang Wu nodded and took out a peculiar token.
The token was highlighted with a grotesque beast head in the middle, which looked lifelike and ferocious, but its origin was unclear.
Upon a closer look, the beast’s face subtly changed as if it were a living creature.
“This Blessed Land is called the Ten Thousand Beast Cave. Due to its growth environment being beneficial for demon beasts, it raises many Guardian Beasts, some of which possess Core Formation strength.”
“This token is the Beast Owning Order. It contains a sliver of the spirit and essence blood of all the Spirit Beasts within the Blessed Land. You can command the Guardian Beasts through this Order.”
“Normally speaking, Guardian Beasts, after extensive taming, won’t attack Sect monks. However, bear in mind that they are inherently demon beasts and thus unpredictable. If something unexpected happens, you can use this Beast Owning Order to control the Spirit Beasts.”
“However, using this Beast Owning Order can cause harm to the divine souls and essence blood of the beasts, so please use it cautiously, and only in truly desperate circumstances.”
Lu Xuan nodded, expressing his understanding.
He took the beast-headed order, sent his Spiritual Sense into it, and images of countless demon beasts surged towards him from the depths of the token. These images dissolved into the token’s surface, leaving behind thousands of sparkling specks of essence blood rotating in a specific trajectory.
“There are a few Foundation Establishment peers inside the Cloud House. They are primarily responsible for the Spirit Beasts’ daily care and feeding. They will come back to the Cloud House for cultivation and rest during their spare time, so you only need to manage them.”
“There is a forbidden area in the Ten Thousand Beast Cave. Even several Golden Core Real People would find it hard to break through its powerful restrictions within a short time. So, Junior Brother Lu, please refrain from entering it.”
“Every now and then, a strange object known as the Emperor’s Flow descends from the sky upon the Blessed Land. When demon beasts absorb and refine this, it can greatly enhance their physical bodies.”
“The Emperor’s Flow is also quite useful for cultivators, especially Body Refining Cultivators. Junior Brother, you can collect some when the time comes.”
“When the Emperor’s Flow gushes out from the void, there might be conflicts among the guardian beasts. Please be careful at that time, Disciple Lu.”
“I will definitely pay close attention.”
Lu Xuan hastily replied.
“Then I’ll leave this to you.”
True Man Cang Wu nonchalantly left these words, giving Lu Xuan a transfer talisman, and disappeared from the cloud with the Fire Scale Child.
Lu Xuan took the Beast Owning Order and left the Cloud House, strolling on the surface of the cloud.
In the other Cloud Houses nearby, no traces of his fellow Sect members were found. They must have already descended into the Ten Thousand Beast Cave below to feed and look after the spirit beasts.
His eyes gleamed with a hazy spiritual light, penetrating the thick clouds, his vision falling on the Ten Thousand Beast Cave beneath his feet.
The Blessed land was intricately laid out, featuring various topographies – mountains, forests, swamps, lakes, deserts…
Huge spirit beasts emerged one after another, some freely soaring under the clouds, some occasionally appearing in the forest, and some frolicking in the lakes.
All the spirit beasts lived peacefully together in an orderly manner.
“Let’s go check it out.”
Lu Xuan, holding the Beast Owning Order in hand and the spiritual light surfacing on Qing Helved Shoes, descended gently.
As soon as he touched the ground, a gigantic elephant sensing Lu Xuan’s unfamiliar aura approached steadily, its massive feet causing the ground to tremble with each step.
The Azure Black Giant Elephant stood before Lu Xuan curiously, let out a snort, and a stream of white gas, like an arrow, rushed past Lu Xuan’s side.
“Nice to meet you, I look forward to your kind cooperation.”
Lu Xuan calmly greeted, giving a salute with both hands, the Beast Owning Order tied to his finger swaying slightly.
“Mooh!”
Upon seeing the Beast Owning Order, the Azure Black Giant Elephant let out a low growl, knelt down, and leaned its mountain-like frame against Lu Xuan as if asking for affection.
Seeing the giant elephant’s body crumble like a landslide, Lu Xuan quickly jumped aside, ignoring the elephant collapsed on the ground, crushing numerous Spirit Trees. Choosing a direction at random, his figure flitted away like a streak of light.
While strolling within the Blessed Land, Lu Xuan encountered numerous spirit beasts, most of them third-grade or fourth-grade level, and a good number of them were little beasts equivalent to Qi-Cultivators in strength.
When these spirit beasts saw him, a stranger, they reacted in various ways – some were welcoming, some indifferent, and some playful. Yet none of them attacked him, especially seeing the Beast Owning Order in Lu Xuan’s hand, they were all very obedient. A lot of the bigger and more unruly ones even tried to act cute to him.
“Hmm, seems like I recognize someone, I mean, a familiar beast.”
Lu Xuan halted, looking at a spirit beast with the head of a lion and the body of an eagle, standing dumbfounded not too far away.
“Isn’t this the Lion Bird Beast from the beast taming session back then? It’s grown so much bigger in such a short time.”
Lu Xuan’s eyes brightened, and he headed towards the Lion Bird Beast.
During the beast taming event for the Sect, he encountered several problematic mystical beasts, including this Lion Bird Beast. Due to mixed heritage, it was incredibly strong and had a robust body, but it was a little slow, making it difficult to understand Lu Xuan’s various commands.
Lu Xuan had been secretly giving it extra training, encouraging it to catch up with the rest of the young beasts, until it was finally tamed.
The Lion Bird Beast stared blankly at Lu Xuan, its simple mind finding the figure before it familiar yet unable to recall at once.
“Roar~”
As Lu Xuan got closer, the simple-minded Lion Bird Beast finally remembered him, let out a deafening roar, and in the blink of an eye, it flew to Lu Xuan’s side.
