"Wanwan, do you really want to go and get the Blood Qilin? There's a Pixiu guarding it there, and even Zhan Yin would have to put in a lot of effort to get it. Are you sure you want to take the risk?" Luanfeng looked at Chu Wanwan with concern.
Chu Wanwan's gaze was firm. She slightly raised her chin and said, "I know this journey is fraught with danger, but the Blood Qilin is too important to the Immortal Realm. I cannot miss this opportunity. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, I will try."
After spending these days together, Luanfeng learned that the divine realm of later generations had declined, and the divine roots were almost extinct.
If Chu Wanwan can successfully retrieve the Blood Qilin, it will be a source of hope for the rise of the gods in that world.
Luanfeng sighed softly:
"Alright then! I'll help you!"
"No!" As soon as Luanfeng finished speaking, a guard hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Miss Luanfeng, our mission is to ensure your safety. The summit of Purple Mountain is too dangerous. We can't protect you! You can't go!"
"But Wanwan is my friend, how can I let her go on an adventure alone?"
Luanfeng disagreed!
"Please, Miss Luanfeng, don't make things difficult for us..."
The guard clasped his hands and bowed, making his request.
Before Luanfeng could say anything, Chu Wanwan quickly stopped her, saying, "Goddess, I appreciate your kindness. But this matter is indeed too dangerous, and I cannot let you risk your life for me. If something happens to you, I will not be able to explain it to the God of War!"
"Don't worry, although I'm not very strong, I have invisibility talismans and spatial abilities. As long as I'm careful, I won't be in any danger."
Luanfeng frowned and pondered for a moment before saying with a worried expression, "Wanwan, you must be extra careful. If it's really impossible, don't force it."
Chu Wanwan nodded, her eyes revealing determination: "I will. Luanfeng, just wait here for my good news."
Having said that, Chu Wanwan resolutely headed towards the summit of Purple Mountain. Along the way, she felt both nervous and filled with anticipation. She knew the mission would be arduous, but her unwavering belief prevented her from backing down.
Just as Chu Wanwan reached the summit of Purple Mountain, a powerful attack struck her. Chu Wanwan reacted swiftly, immediately disappearing into the void.
With a deafening boom, the attack shattered the mountain behind Chu Wanwan. Hiding in the spatial dimension, Chu Wanwan stared in lingering fear at the destroyed mountain, secretly relieved that she had reacted in time.
She carefully observed the situation outside and saw a beast resembling a tiger or leopard with a head and tail like a dragon slowly walking towards her.
Its head was held high, its eyes bright and piercing, as if it could see through everything in the world. A mysterious light shone in its eyes, sometimes revealing majesty, and sometimes revealing a hint of cunning.
Its body is covered with hard scales that shimmer with a metallic luster in the sunlight, like an indestructible suit of armor.
These tightly packed scales not only defend against powerful attacks but also exude an ancient and mysterious aura.
Its limbs are thick and powerful, with sharp, forged claws that can easily crush rocks. Each step it takes causes the earth to tremble slightly, demonstrating its immense power.
The Pixiu's tail is long and flexible, like a steel whip, making a whooshing sound when it dances in the air. At the end of the tail is a tuft of brilliant hair, like a burning flame, adding to its mysterious aura.
It has two wings, which cannot be spread, but they give the impression that it may soar into the sky at any moment. The patterns on its wings are intricate and exquisite, as if they contain a mysterious power.
This beast exudes a powerful aura that inspires awe.
"Is this the mythical beast—the Pixiu? It looks so majestic!"
Chu Wanwan sighed in the space.
As soon as the sound came out, the Pixiu's head suddenly turned towards Chu Wanwan's direction, scaring Chu Wanwan so much that she didn't dare to breathe.
The Pixiu stared intently at Chu Wanwan's location, seemingly trying to sense her presence. It walked to Chu Wanwan's spot, lowered its head slightly, and flared its nostrils, as if sniffing the air.
It paced slowly around the area where Chu Wanwan was, occasionally letting out a low roar. The roar seemed to carry a powerful pressure, making Chu Wanwan's heart beat more and more rapidly, and her palms gradually became sweaty.
She quietly took out a concealment talisman and affixed it to her body. The Pixiu hovered around for a while, seemingly having lost its target, a hint of doubt showing in its majestic eyes. It stopped, raised its head again, and warily scanned its surroundings.
This time, the Pixiu finally turned around and slowly walked towards the place where the Blood Qilin grew, returning to its guarding position.
Chu Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Could this Pixiu be the legendary Boundless Realm? Even space can't completely isolate the Pixiu's detection? It seems that relying solely on invisibility talismans and concealment talismans won't be enough to get close to the Blood Qilin."
Chu Wanwan wasn't in a hurry, so she hid in her spatial dimension and waited for an opportunity. She refused to believe that the Pixiu would stay in the same place and guard the Blood Qilin forever.
Time passed slowly as Chu Wanwan waited patiently in the space. The Pixiu lay there motionless, as if asleep.
Chu Wanwan stayed in the space for a while longer, and finding no movement, she mustered up her courage and came out of the space.
She cautiously approached the Pixiu, prepared for it to immediately enter her spatial dimension the moment it woke up. However, the Pixiu remained lying there, completely motionless.
It's getting closer...
Closer...
When Chu Wanwan was just a few steps away from the Pixiu, her heart was pounding in her chest. She carefully observed the Pixiu, afraid that it might suddenly wake up.
At this moment, the Blood Kirin was right in front of them.
The Blood Kirin is a red flower, shaped like a burning flame, with layers upon layers of vibrant petals. Each petal seems to contain immense power, radiating a mysterious light.
The Pixiu was right beside her, and could wake up at any moment. Chu Wanwan took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm.
She gently reached out her hand, her fingers trembling slightly, and slowly approached the Blood Qilin. Every movement was cautious, as if afraid of making the slightest sound.
Just as her fingers were about to touch the Blood Qilin, an aged voice rang out: "Heh... I thought this little thief who came this time was highly skilled, that even I couldn't find where you were hiding. I didn't expect you to be just a minor god at the mid-level!"
"How dare you, with your level of cultivation, steal from my territory? Do you have a death wish?"
