Translator: 549690339
“This Green Xuan Deer possesses a deep sense of tenacity. If it were to die here now, it’s possible it could affect the entire secret land, even potentially transforming into a demon envoy.”
The middle-aged cultivator spoke in a solemn manner, with no hint of emotion
in his four pupils.
His name is Lei Su, he and the handsome youth are both Golden Core Real People of the Sky Sword Sect. Upon receiving the news of the impending death of the Green Xuan Deer, they came together to handle the aftermath.
Other Golden Core cultivators of the sect were either in closed-door cultivation, stationed in a blessed land somewhere, or roaming around, lost to the world. Therefore, only these two were able to spare the time to come.
The Green Xuan Deer is a grade 5 Demon Beast, its power equivalent to the early core formation stage, and is the Sky Sword Sect’s Guardian Beast. Because of its extreme affinity with the secret land, it has been guarding the place for many years.
“So, Brother Lei, you mean to say…”
The speed of the dancing sword shadows around the handsome youth increased by a third, seeming as if they were about to shoot out from a virtual world. The four-eyed middle-aged cultivator glanced at the Green Xuan Deer on the brink of death in the vine net, quietly enveloped the two of them within a Spiritual Aura Barrier, isolating them from the outside world’s surveillance. “Rather than dying in such a way and leaving behind a calamity born of its obsession, it would be better to resolve this now to avoid negatively affecting the secret land.”
“The materials from the body of a grade 5 Demon Beast can still be put to
various uses.”
“Heh.”
The handsome youth scoffed in frustration.
“Brother Lei, you practice the cultivation technique that eliminates affectionate thoughts, have you perhaps cultivated a problem in your brain?
“The Green Xuan Deer is the guardian beast of our sect, diligently protecting the sect and the secret land for hundreds of years. When it first joined the sect, we hadn’t even been born yet, and you amazingly suggest such an emotionless thought.”
“It seems Brother Lei has only about a hundred or two hundred years of life left. After spending so long in the Cultivation World, dealing with countless demon beasts and demon envoys, there is also a small chance of abnormality when you pass on. Why not avoid this risk and let someone help end your life when the time comes?”
“Your unique pair of four pupils are quite peculiar, and I think our fellow brothers might be interested in them.”
The handsome youth said with a cold laugh.
“If I can serve the sect with some purpose before my death, I would be delighted. Not only this pair of four pupils, all other things be it flesh, spirit or legacy artifacts, I would gladly donate them to the sect.”
“I believe this Green Xuan Deer would share the same sentiment.”
Lei Su said calmly, as if his own life and death were insignificant in the face of the sect’s interests.
“Enough, there’s no need for further discussion!”
The handsome youth, Gu Jian Kong, waved his hand and scolded.
“Brother Lei, you can think and do as you wish, but this Green Xuan Deer must
be allowed to pass away peacefully.”
“As for its deep rooted obsession, we should find a way to dissolve it.
“If it truly can’t be resolved, then I will remain here. After the old deer passes away, I will observe how this obsession will transform. If it indeed poses a threat to the sect or the secret land, I will strike it down.
Gu Jian Kong’s handsome face showed strong killing intent as he decisively addressed the middle-aged cultivator with four pupils.
A sword light shot out from the virtual sword shadow, transforming into a wild tiger and shattering the Spiritual Aura Barrier.
“All of you, go to our sect or other sects and find some cultivators who are adept at communicating and healing spirit beasts. See if we can identify the origin of the Green Xuan Deer’s obsession.
“Nephew Xu, after you advance to a True Disciple, this small Azure Spirit Secret Realm will be under your control most of the time. You should be prepared to activate the secret land’s protective formation at a moment’s notice.
The handsome young man, Gu Jian Kong, gave directions to a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him.
“Yes, Master Gu.”
The person who replied was a female cultivator exuding a lofty and detached aura. Her dark hair cascaded down like a waterfall, slightly swaying as if resonating with the countless spirit plants in the verdant world around her. “Elder Uncle Gu, there is someone I would like to recommend to you. This person has just been promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple and is not well-known, so I fear that the other disciples might overlook him due to their unfamiliarity,”
The good-looking young man standing behind him, one of the seventeen True Disciples, Ge Pu, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and respectfully addressed Gu Jian Kong.
“Junior nephew Ge, are you sure about this? Since he has just been promoted to Inner Sect, he must only be at the Foundation Establishment First-term cultivation stage. The Green Xuan Deer is a Grade 5 Demon Beast, so the disparity between them is significant,’
Gu Jian Kong asked in doubt.
“Elder Uncle, though this person has just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he spends a great deal of time and effort cultivating Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts. As such, his beast-taming abilities are not to be underestimated,”
“As far as I know, back when he was still in the Qi Training Realm, he helped Brother Yang Qingfeng, who was raising an Ink-Scaled Jiao, solve a feeding issue with a Young Drake, even uncovering the young drake’s hidden
bloodline.”
“As a result, Brother Yang recommended him to help me resolve the fertility issue of my pair of Yin Yang Kun Fish,”
“Oh? How did he manage it?”
Knowing that Ge Pu, the True Disciple in front of him, had been raising a pair of Ancient Exotic Yin-Yang Kun Fish, Gu Jian Kong became slightly intrigued by the Inner Sect Disciple who had purportedly helped resolve the Kun Fish’s breeding problem.
“He advised me to simulate the respective gestation environments that both Kun Fish required. Essential essences were then condensed individually, combined externally, and then reintroduced into the two fish.”
Ge Pu briefly summarized.
“Such a novel approach. Go and invite him over then, let him observe the issue with the Green Xuan Deer along with the others,”
Upon hearing this, Gu Jian Kong became more interested in the Inner Sect Disciple Ge Pu mentioned.
“Elder Brother Yang, you called me here in such a hurry, what’s the urgent matter? I still have some Spirit Plants in my Spirit Field that haven’t been taken care of today,”
Lu Xuan, stepping out from the mountain, looked over at Yang Qingfeng who was standing in a flat boat in mid-air, speaking somewhat discontentedly. “Junior Brother Lu, no time for explanations, quickly get on board!” Yang Qingfeng pulled Lu Xuan onto the flying boat in one swift motion, his spiritual power surged wildly, and the boat under his feet shot towards the sky like an arrow released from its bowstring.
“Junior Brother Lu, please forgive my rudeness, but I am really in a hurry.”
Amid the howling winds, Yang Qingfeng said to Lu Xuan.
“What is so urgent that it made Elder Brother rush like this?
Lu Xuan curiously asked.
“This is the thing, there is a Grade 5 Green Xuan Deer in our sect. Junior Brother, you know about it, right?”
Seeing Lu Xuan nodding in affirmation, Yang Qingfeng continued. “Recently, that Green Xuan Deer is nearing the end of its life. However, it has a deep obsession in its heart. The sect intends to invite several cultivators who excel in communicating with Spirit Beasts to see if they can try to resolve it.” “Brother Ge Pu recommended you to one of the Golden Core Elders.
“A Golden Core Elder?”
Lu Xuan was full of surprise. Jindan Cultivators are considered high-level combatants in the Sky Sword Sect. He had never expected that one day he would be in close contact with one, and even assist in resolving a major issue.” “Exactly. However, Junior Brother Lu, you don’t need to worry. If you succeed, it’ll count as a great merit, but if not, no one will blame you.
“Alright, we have reached the Azure Spirit Secret Realm. Both Golden Core cultivators and a group of disciples are already inside.
Yang Qingfeng put away the Flying Boat Magical Tool and took out an Azure Token, entwined with vines from his waist. With a tug of spiritual power, the Azure Token transformed into a streak of green light, enveloping both of them before entering a chaotic spatial dimension.
