Chapter 236
In a boundless wilderness, a heavily injured Swordtooth Swallowing Moon Dragon Rhino roared as it charged out from the swirling dust. The size of a basin, its hooves created deep pits on the ground, while its blood-filled mouth continuously spat out clusters of gas explosions the size of water barrels. It crazily pursued over ten green-robed female cultivators who were attacking it in mid-air, leaving behind scattered bloodstains along the way.
These female cultivators relied on their swift and agile escape techniques, never directly confronting the bulky creature. They maintained a distance, taking turns provoking it. One after another, colorful sword auras, resembling dancing ribbons, fell upon it, accompanied by various powerful Divine Abilities, leaving more and more bleeding wounds on its body, gradually wearing down its vitality.
However, the counterattacks from the Swordtooth Swallowing Moon Dragon Rhino were always evaded by them, landing in empty spaces. Unfortunately, it couldn't use flight escape techniques, resulting in it always being in a passive position, constantly being attacked.
In terms of strength, the highest cultivation level among these female cultivators was only at the sixth level of the Divine Spirit Realm, while the lowest had just entered the Profound Comprehension Realm not long ago. On the other hand, this creature was already at the True Self Realm, making the difference between the two sides clear at a glance.
In a one-on-one situation, these female cultivators had no chance of winning, but if they joined forces and formed an array to surround and attack, it would be the creature's turn to be tormented.
After a prolonged battle of attrition, the Swordtooth Swallowing Moon Dragon Rhino was covered in wounds, on the verge of exhaustion, yet it hadn't even touched the corners of the female cultivators' clothes.
Towards the end, this desperate creature also wanted to escape, but it was still tightly entangled by them, unable to break free.
Unable to win in a fight and unable to escape, its tragic fate was already sealed.
After dozens of breaths, accompanied by a series of roars filled with despair and unwillingness, this giant creature, over ten zhang in length, collapsed to the ground, and large amounts of blood gushed out from its numerous wounds, forming a pool of blood beneath it.
"...Great, we've taken down another big one!"
Bai Qingyu let out a sigh of relief. This time, she brought over ten junior sisters out for training, and they had gained quite a lot. It could be considered a fruitful trip.
"It's mostly thanks to Senior Sister."
The surrounding female cultivators spoke excitedly, their joy evident. To have such achievements on their first trip into the secret realm was undoubtedly a great accomplishment for their cultivation levels.
"Alright, let's tidy up and leave quickly."
Bai Qingyu said, not daring to confirm if there were any more formidable creatures nearby. After the battle, both she and her junior sisters had consumed a lot of energy and needed to go back to recover.
So, the female cultivators stored the Swordtooth Swallowing Moon Dragon Rhino in their spatial storage bracelets, controlled their escape techniques, and left together. In just a few breaths, they disappeared without a trace.
The nearest Heavenly Human Race city was hundreds of miles away, but with the guidance of a map, the group of women quickly found their way and entered the city smoothly.
After selling all their gains, the women casually found an inn on the street and booked several rooms to settle down.
"Sister, what should we do next? Continue hunting those native spirit beasts, or venture into the dangerous secret realms and seek opportunities?"
After activating the concealment formation, the ten-plus female cultivators gathered in the largest room, discussing their next steps.
Bai Qingyu, with her beautiful appearance and eyes like autumn water, remained calm. "Let's not go out for now. Before entering the secret realm, Supreme Sect Master and Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan both gave instructions. Our priority here is stability. Whether we encounter opportunities or not is not as important as ensuring that we can safely return."
This Bai Qingyu was discovered by Qin Muling among the outer disciples in the city when she came to support Linzhou. Her destiny and aura were clearly different from ordinary disciples, catching Qin Muling's attention and recommendation to Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan.
Later, Qin Muling rose rapidly, and Bai Qingyu also received special care from Xue Bingxuan, receiving daily guidance and instruction. Her cultivation level also increased rapidly, and she had now stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm, gradually emerging among the newly promoted core disciples.
This time, when the Illusory Mist Secret Realm opened, Bai Qingyu was also allowed to enter. She was fortunate enough to gather a group of junior sisters, and their actions had been smooth sailing so far. Not only did they gain a lot, but they also hadn't encountered any major dangers.
"Well, Supreme did say that, but..."
A beautiful young girl glanced at Bai Qingyu and smiled, "I know that you have a good relationship with Senior Qin. Has he mentioned anything to you privately about certain things regarding the Illusory Mist Secret Realm?"
Bai Qingyu remained calm, "He did mention it, but it's not really a secret. He just advised us not to wander around casually and to stay in the city as much as possible."
"We don't need to force opportunities. As long as we stay safe until the secret realm closes, everyone will receive additional rewards from the sect and be prioritized for further cultivation as elite disciples."
"Is that so? Did Senior Qin really say that?"
A girl asked excitedly. Although they had all advanced to core disciples, their status and positions were still ranked. If they could receive attention from the higher-ups of the sect and be further cultivated, it would be a great opportunity.
Bai Qingyu smiled, "Of course. This time, the sect received over two thousand jade tokens for the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Many senior sisters and junior sisters were hoping to secure a chance, but we came out on top and obtained the qualification to enter the secret realm. It shows that the sect treats us differently."
Another girl with a gentle gaze giggled, "But I heard that the allocation of spots to enter the secret realm this time is officially decided by the eldest senior sister, but secretly led by Senior Qin! You have such a close relationship with Senior Qin, you must have received a lot of favor, right?"
The expressions of the surrounding girls became subtle, and they all revealed a knowing smile. Qin Muling, the only male disciple in the sect for millions of years, was always a topic of gossip among the senior sisters.
Bai Qingyu's rise in status in the past was all thanks to Qin Muling's support. Now, besides the Supreme, only she occasionally had the chance to see Qin Muling. It was only natural for her to receive some extra benefits from him.
In the eyes of these junior core disciples, Senior Qin was already an unattainable existence. Many beautiful and talented senior sisters had no chance to get close to him. Now, Bai Qingyu was an exception. Who knows, maybe in the future, she might even catch his attention and become one of his Dao companions?
"Nonsense!"
Seeing their expressions, Bai Qingyu understood what these girls were thinking. She couldn't help but pout and say, "Don't think about irrelevant things. How can we know Senior Qin's thoughts? Just follow the instructions!"
With her intelligence, she already had some speculations about the arrangements of the sect's higher-ups. However, it was enough for her to understand it in her heart. There was no need to say it out loud.
In the depths of a distant barren land.
Numerous majestic and varied mountains stood on the vast land, stretching for billions of miles. They resembled ancient dragons, with peaks over a hundred thousand miles high.
This place was already far away from the traditional territory of the Heavenly Human Race. The nearest Heavenly Human Race village was billions of miles away. Perhaps for tens of millions of years, no cultivator had set foot here, ensuring its safety.
"...This is it!"
The Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat stopped in mid-air. Inside the cabin, Qin Muling, looking tired, put away the turtle shell jade token and said, "Underneath this mountain range should be Supreme Grade spiritual crystal deposits. We just need to dig open the surface rocks to see them."
This divination had consumed a lot of his energy, and he needed to rest for a while to recover.
"You've worked hard, Junior Brother. Let's get to work quickly!"
Xue Bingxuan beside him said excitedly. Qi Yalan took out a genuine spirit pill and handed it to Qin Muling. He didn't refuse and took it, then began to adjust his breath after swallowing it.
Outside, countless female cultivators flew out in formation, selecting a mountain range. Dozens of giant palms, formed by their mana, descended with a radius of over a hundred miles, digging open large sections of the mountains.
Sure enough, after stripping away hundreds of feet of soil and trees on the surface, a clear and radiant light appeared. The powerful spiritual pressure made even Yu Lingzhou and Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan's expressions change. The extremely pure spiritual energy surged out, gathering into countless magnificent and colorful clouds above the mountain range.
This chapter is a bit short. There will be an update before dawn.
