Chapter 44: Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma Obtained
Waaah!
A mournful cry erupted from the mouth of the Red Flame Bird.
Qin Bei, who was already battle-ready, watched as the once proud Red Flame Bird stared at him in horror after he activated the Immortal Heavenly Phoenix Body.
Her head dipped low, as if in submission to a higher authority.
“You… who are you?” the Red Flame Bird asked, trembling with fear.
Just moments ago, she had felt an overwhelming suppression from her bloodline.
This suppression stifled any thoughts of resisting Qin Bei.
Even though Qin Bei was only in the Tempering Body Realm while she was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm…
In her eyes, Qin Bei was like the sky!
Qin Bei exchanged a puzzled glance with Ji Zhuyue.
But soon, he began to connect the dots.
Immortal Heavenly Phoenix Body!
This sacred body was indeed linked to the Phoenix Bird clan.
Plus, Qin Bei had used plenty of Heavenly Phoenix Bird blood essence and True Dragon blood essence to break through the million-jin strength barrier.
These divine beasts exerted a certain degree of suppression on monster beasts.
The Red Flame Bird’s fierce suppression was entirely because one of her bloodline ancestors was a Phoenix Bird.
How could she harbor any rebellious thoughts in the presence of her ancestor?
With this realization, Qin Bei couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Now can I take this Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma, or what?”
Instead of responding to the Red Flame Bird’s question, Qin Bei strolled toward the Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma.
As he passed the Red Flame Bird, she instinctively took a step back, allowing him to pluck the precious Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma.
“I won’t just take it for free; here’s a Transformation Pill for you.”
Placing the Transformation Pill on the ground, Qin Bei then left with Ji Zhuyue.
He hadn’t expected to harvest the Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma so smoothly.
If it had been another beast, it would have surely been a tough nut to crack.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn’t occur.
After securing the Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma, Qin Bei led Ji Zhuyue away.
Finding a hidden cave, he prepared to officially break through the million-jin limit.
“This place will do; it’s only about a few dozen miles from Xiaoxuan. After the breakthrough, I can rush over quickly.”
“Uh-huh, you focus on your breakthrough; I’ll stand guard outside and ensure nothing disturbs you.”
“Sounds good.”
Qin Bei entered the cave with the Nine-turn Heavenly Ganoderma.
…
Meanwhile, as Qin Bei initiated his breakthrough, the situation faced by Qin Xuan and the others was becoming increasingly dire.
“Your Highness, it’s better if you leave now. This Golden Core realm monster has appeared, and we can’t hold it back any longer.”
Within the encirclement of monsters, a youth who appeared to be barely twenty knelt before a ten-year-old who looked even younger and hesitantly advised.
Though Qin Xuan was only ten, his unique aura and handsome features, just like Qin Bei, made him easily recognizable in the crowd.
At this moment, blood dripped from the corner of Qin Xuan’s mouth, indicating he was injured.
“If I leave, you’ll be in even deeper trouble! I can still hold on, waiting for Father to send someone to rescue us. If I go, the fate of all these people here would truly be sealed.”
Qin Xuan argued stubbornly.
Now a master accomplished in foundational Heavenly Dao, he was the strongest among them.
The prolonged resistance against the Golden Core realm monsters was largely thanks to Qin Xuan’s efforts.
“Your Highness! You must leave!”
This time, not just members of the royal family but also other injured sect members returning to rest pleaded for Qin Xuan to depart.
Qin Xuan had done so much for them.
Everyone knew that, as a favored member of the royal lineage, he must possess some treasures for self-preservation.
Yet, solely out of concern for them, he hadn’t opted to escape.
Roar!
At that moment, a guttural beast’s roar echoed.
Qin Xuan ignored their concerns, turning his gaze to the distance.
Suddenly, he spotted hundreds of monster beasts barreling toward them from afar.
These beasts were formidable.
Especially the leading monster, which made Qin Xuan feel an intense pressure.
A creature capable of evoking such feelings within him had to be a Fourth-Order Monster Beast.
“What’s happening? Can’t the creatures of the secret realm endure it any longer? Are they going to attack these monsters?”
“Judging by their charge direction, that seems likely!”
“Hahaha, a fourth-order monster, we might just be saved!”
Everyone misguidedly believed that these beasts were heading for the demonic creatures.
The major reason they didn’t recognize that these beasts were actually coming for them was their current predicament of being encircled.
Surrounded by demonic beasts, to attack them, the monsters would need to break through the horde.
They couldn’t fathom that these straightforward beasts would disrupt their formation.
Just Qin Xuan frowned deeply.
In this small world, monster beasts preferred to avoid conflict when possible, and competition among their kind was rare.
Could they really band together to confront these monstrous foes?
The likelihood was slim.
And, as expected, the outcome aligned with Qin Xuan’s suspicions.
These monsters were unleashed by the Beast Tamers Sect.
To cover their tracks, they were still engaged with the monsters at the entrance.
The hundreds of beasts appearing now had yet to have their skills deployed.
As a prodigy with two Fourth-Order Monster Pets, Beast Madness had displayed his combat beasts in prior battles.
This fourth-order beast, however, had never even made an appearance in the Beast Tamers Sect before.
This was to ensure that when attacked by the monsters, they could disassociate from any blame and pin it on the native beasts.
The foremost beast was naturally the trump card that the Sect Leader had instructed the Beast Master to bring before his arrival.
A Fourth-Order Peak Monster Beast, the Heavenly Mystery Turtle!
The defense of this beast was so formidable that few in the same realm could break through it.
It essentially was arranged specifically to deal with Qin Bei.
…
Roar!
With the roar resounding again, as everyone assumed the monsters would charge into the demonic formation,
the surrounding demonic beasts unexpectedly parted, creating an opening.
Hundreds of monster beasts rushed forward, charging directly at them.
“What… what’s happening?”
“Oh no, these monsters are not aiming for the demonic beasts; they’re heading for us!”
“Damn it, are these monsters colluding with the demons?!”
Before they could voice more, the already struggling defenders were unable to withstand the assault led by the Heavenly Mystery Turtle. Casualties started piling up the moment their formation crumbled.
Not only that, as the monsters and demonic beasts attacked, the number of casualties kept climbing.
“Your Highness, run!”
Seeing the situation turn disastrous, royal members urged Qin Xuan to flee while recklessly launching themselves into the fray.
If it had been Qin Bei, he would have definitely chosen to leave and save himself, recognizing they were outmatched.
For Qin Bei, the life and death of these cultivators meant little compared to his own safety.
But Qin Xuan was completely different.
As long as he hadn’t reached a dead end, he wouldn’t abandon these people.
So, even knowing he was no match, he surged forward, rallying everyone to re-form their ranks and fight back.
