“Since you understand the beast language, I will not waste any more time on you.”
With a wave of Hua Yuchan’s jade hand, the three spirit beasts around her quickly ceased their actions. She flipped to a page in the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts, and as she infused True Qi into it, a burst of light emanated from the book space.
“Buzz, buzz…”
The ground quivered slightly, startling Han Ye.
He wondered what fierce beast or spirit bird Hua Yuchan had released this time.
Could it be the beast she had nurtured reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage?
As Han Ye’s gaze flickered, he looked down, and within his sight, he could see bits of gravel lying quietly on the ground.
The sensation of trembling in the sand and stones on the ground, from weak to strong, was distinctly moving towards him.
Something was underneath the ground!
Han Ye furrowed his brows, alert to a crisis. No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than there was a “rumble”. A giant creature burst through the ground, sending rocks and sand flying.
“Hiss!”
The huge shadow cast caused dust and smoke to rise around.
Han Ye covered his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the dust and smoke, and leaped away from his original position.
Through the gap in his fingertips, he saw a massive red-scaled python, as tall as three or four stories, suddenly appear.
A grinning snake head, adorned with two golden lotuses on top, opened its mouth to reveal its cold, snake-like pupils. Its tail swept vigorously towards Han Ye.
The mountain forest shook violently.
He seemed to recognize this giant python. He had seen it in the beast manual in the Book Collection Pavilion. The description was extensive and left a deep impression.
The Nine Lives Flame Python.
It was a powerful beast race that could continuously molt and advance, producing many great demons.
Each golden lotus that grew on their head meant one molting and a significant increase in strength. Three of them could transform into human form. Five could advance to become formidable demons of the current age, while after nine molting, they could rival the king of the northern demon race.
At the edge of the Central Earth world, on the border of the Great Zhou dynasty, there were immense mountain ranges that stretched for thousands of miles. There were almost no humans there; the Spiritual Qi was sparse, and resources were scarce, thus it became the base for millions from the Demon Race.
Fortunately, the Immortal Sects sent people to guard. Due to the defense line set up by tens of thousands of cultivators, the Great Zhou dynasty’s territory had been spared from trouble, maintaining peace for hundreds of years.
Every year, many monster hunters would risk their lives trying to catch some rare beasts, tame them into spirit beasts, and then sell them to cultivators for high prices.
A young Nine Lives Flame Python wouldn’t come cheap, right?
Hua Yuchan actually raised such a fierce beast. Where did she come from?
“Just accept your defeat.”
Hua Yuchan motioned with her hand, and the four spirit beasts attacked simultaneously, intending to wrap up the combat swiftly.
As Han Ye faced the several spirit beasts, his expression became extremely serious.
“Hiss…”
“Roar!”
The golden lotus on the head of the Nine Lives Flame Python shone even brighter. Its back scales stood up, and it ejected a thick, flaming breath from its bloody mouth.
Han Ye dared not resist head-on and could only dodge.
However, spirit beasts were attacking from all directions, forming a rhombus and enclosing him in the center. There was no way out. He dodged the flame breath, but the Black Panther was agile. Its black tail spike stabbed towards his chest like lightning.
“Pu-chi!”
Blood splattered all over the place.
Han Ye’s body slowed down, providing the Nine Lives Flame Python an opportunity. A tail hit the ground, seeming to have fallen motionless.
“I won.”
A smile appeared on Hua Yuchan’s face as she slowly advanced.
Whether he was an external disciple practicing body refinement, after taking a hit from the Flame Python, he would have to fall, no chance of continuing the fight.
“Alas, he still fell a little short. Han Ye is already very strong, but after all, his realm is not enough. It’s still quite difficult to fight against foundation establishment.”
“It seems that the qualification for the Outer Sect to enter the Golden Cicada Secret Realm this year will fall on Hua Yuchan. The quotas of the major sects are all very precious, and each sect does not have much.”
“Senior Brother…”
The disciples below the Ascending Immortal Platform showed regretful expressions. The disciples from the Pure Yang Peak were even more so, sighing constantly.
Who didn’t want to see a rising dark horse make it to the end? They are all ordinary disciples and would hope even more to see someone, who is like their own shadow, battle to the last. The other Outer Sect’s top disciples have a high reputation in the Sect and are naturally powerful. Only Han Ye emerged halfway through and could represent these ordinary disciples.
On the stone chair at the top, Pei Liekong supported his chin with his hand, his palm rested on the chair’s back, his eyes flickered as he heard the laughter of the Elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Peak:
“It seems that my Ten Thousand Beasts Peak is better.”
In Chu Xianyu’s eyes, there was a touch of tenacity. She thought within herself,
Han Ye, you shouldn’t fall here.
She had heard Han Ye say that he had made it to this year, all thanks to his own efforts.
She believed that Han Ye’s efforts should not lose out to those four spirit beasts.
At this time, at the top of the mountain.
Yun Xuzi and the other Elders noticed in the projection in front of them that Han Ye was already motionless, while Hua Yuchan had made it to the end. Yun Xuzi said:
“Hua Yuchan is half-human and carries the bloodline of the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan. She is a born beast tamer. The Nine Lives Flame Python has gone through two moltings, is comparable to Foundation Establishment Stage. It’s entirely normal for Han Ye not to be a match.”
Elder Jade Linglong watched Han Ye being smashed to the bottom by the Flame Python’s tail. Her expression was somewhat regretful as she faintly said, “It seems that the ones who are likely to handle the tribulation are Chu Xianyu and Hua Yuchan. It’s of utmost importance that we cultivate these two early to bear the great tribulation that our Sect will face.”
However, Jiang Taixu sitting on the side remained calm. After pondering for a moment, the old man extended two fingers, kept calculating, and cast the Technique of Observing Qi.
In his eyes, a large cloud of golden fumes appeared in Han Ye’s position, symbolizing good luck.. He chuckled and said:
