Of course, this has nothing to do with Mu Hanyan. With her strength, she can't care about so many trivial matters. She just needs to do her own thing.
"The Beast Spirit Illusion opens once every thousand years, and each time lasts for seven days. Let's hurry up and go now." Following the order of the Holy Lord, everyone stepped into the archway that was like a phantom light and shadow.
Unlike the illusion at Longyan Academy, entering the Beast Spirit Realm didn't teleport everyone to a different location. Zhuang Ping'an and the others continued to closely follow Mu Hanyan. Although their time together wasn't particularly long, it had become a habit, unknowingly, something they didn't even realize. Only by following Mu Hanyan did they feel at ease; otherwise, they felt a sense of unease.
Besides Mu Hanyan's group of over a hundred, the thousands of Saint Court disciples quickly filed in. As Mu Hanyan had already discovered, even among fellow Saint Court disciples, they didn't stick together in tight groups; instead, they formed distinct groups of closeness and distance. The polite ones would simply exchange greetings, while the less polite ones wouldn't even bother, dispersing in groups of three, five, or ten.
In the end, only Mu Hanyan and the other hundred or so men remained standing. Before them lay a vast expanse of rolling hills, lush and verdant like black ink, stretching as far as the eye could see. Its vastness far exceeded Mu Hanyan and the others' expectations.
"Young Master Mu, where are we going now?" Zhuang Ping'an asked in confusion.
Over the past few days, they'd been so excited and eager, so preoccupied with their training in beast control that they'd forgotten to ask Jian Wuchen for details about the Beast Spirit Realm. By the time they realized what was happening, they'd learned that Jian Wuchen had been practicing in seclusion since returning from Shengdan Peak. Now, having arrived at the Beast Spirit Realm, they knew nothing about it and were unsure of where to begin.
"Let's go ahead and take a look," Mu Hanyan said, pointing to the rolling hills ahead. Her knowledge of the Beast Spirit Realm wasn't much better than theirs. She already had Little Auspicious Beast and Taowu Shenqi, and Hua Yue and the others also had sword pets comparable to ninth-level sword masters. So, she didn't take the Beast Spirit Realm trip too seriously, figuring that if she came across a suitable exotic beast, she'd just help Zhuang Ping'an and the others tame it. Plus, Jian Wuchen had gone into seclusion as soon as he returned, so she didn't bother asking anyone about it. Of course, she couldn't find anyone suitable to ask.
When she arrived at the Beast Spirit Fantasy Realm, she realized that its area far exceeded her expectations. It was not so easy to find a suitable exotic beast. For now, she could only take it one step at a time.
Following Mu Hanyan, everyone entered the emerald green mountains. The scenery along the way was picturesque, and the power of heaven and earth was unusually abundant and condensed. Although it was not as good as the Holy Sword Peak, it was also a rare place for cultivation.
But now everyone's attention is focused on their sword pets, so who has the mood to practice?
Before they knew it, half a day had passed. They encountered quite a few strange beasts along the way, and they were indeed docile in nature. They did not show any hostility when they saw Mu Hanyan and the others, and even opened their eyes wide and looked at them curiously. They were different from the strange beasts in the Longyan Mountains. When they saw human cultivators, they acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They bared their teeth and pounced on them desperately at the slightest movement. If they were weaker, let alone taming them, they would be lucky to save their lives.
These exotic beasts are so docile and unguarded, and combined with the beast taming techniques taught by the Holy Court, they are indeed perfect for taming sword pets. But unfortunately, the strength of these exotic beasts is too low, and most of them are only equivalent to the second or third level of swordsman, or even not even a swordsman.
Relying on the power of heaven and earth at Holy Sword Peak and the elixirs provided by Mu Hanyan, the bloodlines of the descendants of the gods' guardians from various countries have been further awakened, and their strength has greatly increased. The lower their cultivation, the more obvious the improvement. Now the weakest has reached the sixth level of swordsman. If they tame such a powerful beast as a sword pet, it will obviously not be of much help to them, and there may even be considerable disadvantages.
It's important to understand that sword pets and their masters are connected, sharing a common destiny. If their strengths are similar, they can complement each other. However, if their strengths differ significantly, it will only hinder their cultivation progress. Xia Youchen is a prime example. Originally a Sword Saint, he was hampered by the Little Qiongqi, and for a long time, not only was his strength unable to recover, but it actually declined.
The descendants of the guardians of the gods of various countries certainly would not waste their energy on such a strange beast. They didn't even take a second look at it and continued to walk hurriedly towards the depths of the mountains.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the stronger the exotic beasts become. This is common knowledge in the Holy Court Continent, and this Beast Spirit Illusion Realm is probably no exception.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed again this time. After walking for three days, they still did not find the powerful strange beast. The expressions on everyone's faces became more and more disappointed and anxious.
The Holy Lord said that the Beast Spirit Illusionary Realm is open for only seven days each time. They have already used up three days. If they still cannot find a suitable exotic beast, they will undoubtedly miss this God-given opportunity.
Suddenly, the shadow of the tree in front moved, and a fiery red beast shadow flew past.
"Red Flame Fire Spirit Fox!" Several surprised shouts came from the side, and then Zhuang Ping'an, Sang Qinghe, and several other great swordsmen flew out, surrounded the strange beast, and at the same time performed the beast-controlling hand gestures.
"What are you doing?" Mu Hanyan asked in surprise.
"Of course it's to tame a sword pet. We finally met a powerful one." If it was someone else, Zhuang Ping'an and the others probably wouldn't bother to pay attention to her, but since it was Mu Hanyan who spoke, they all stopped the hand gestures.
Mu Hanyan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. What does it mean to be so hungry that you won't be picky about what you eat? This is what it means to be so hungry that you won't be picky about what you eat.
The grade of the red-flame fire fox in front of him was indeed much stronger than those he had encountered before, but from Mu Hanyan's point of view, its strength was really limited. It was only equivalent to a fifth-level swordsman. The most important thing was that it was only good at speed. Its combat power was actually not much stronger than those exotic beasts that were one or two levels lower. It was simply not worthy of the strength of the great swordsmen like Zhuang Ping'an. Was it worth them mobilizing such a large force?
They were really anxious that they even took a fancy to such a strange beast.
"Don't you think its strength is a little too weak?" Mu Hanyan said weakly.
"Actually, it's not too weak. It's much stronger than the previous ones." Zhuang Ping'an said a little embarrassedly.
"If we were in the Longyan Mountains, even with the strength of our great swordsman, it would be extremely difficult to tame such a strange beast. It's rare that the strange beasts in the Beast Spirit Illusion are so docile and not wary. Let's tame one first. It's better than making a wasted trip." Sang Qinghe followed.
