Chapter 687: Entering the Beast Realm

Lu Yunqing finished speaking.

A surge of Spiritual Power flowed out from her body, enveloping Wang Jianqiang.

Under the guidance of her power.

The two of them sped toward the mountaintop.

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang followed Lu Yunqing to a square on the mountaintop.

There were over a dozen figures on the square.

They were the other nine Outer Sect Disciples who had obtained a spot to enter the Beast Realm, along with the servants they had brought along.

Upon seeing Lu Yunqing and Wang Jianqiang arrive, everyone's gazes turned toward them.

Seeing Lu Yunqing, looks of awe and admiration flashed in everyone's eyes.

Immediately following that.

When everyone saw Wang Jianqiang following behind Lu Yunqing.

Their expressions all became strange.

The sect rules state that any Disciple who obtains a spot to enter the Beast Realm may bring one servant inside.

However, it does not explicitly regulate the cultivation level of the servant.

As long as it is not too excessive, the sect generally cannot be bothered to care.

Therefore.

Some Disciples who are confident in competing for the top ten of the Sect Grand Competition have long since made preparations to obtain powerful servants through various means.

The goal is to bring a servant inside after obtaining a Beast Realm spot, providing themselves with the greatest possible assistance.

Among the servants present, which one is not a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?

This Lu Yunqing, on the other hand, actually brought a piece of trash at the Qi Refining First Layer inside.

With such cultivation, once they enter the Beast Realm, besides causing trouble for her, what use could they possibly have?

Could it be that Lu Yunqing is afraid her trip to the Beast Realm will be too simple and is intentionally finding ways to increase the difficulty?

Facing those gazes filled with astonishment and mockery, Lu Yunqing seemed not to notice, her expression remaining as usual.

But Wang Jianqiang seemed to be greatly affected; facing the gazes of the crowd, his expression was very uneasy.

Subconsciously, he shrank behind Lu Yunqing, almost pressing against her body.

At this moment.

He could even clearly smell the faint fragrance on Lu Yunqing.

Lu Yunqing's body stiffened.

"Wang Daniu, no need to pay them any mind."

She secretly sent a voice transmission to Wang Jianqiang, wanting to soothe his nervous emotions.

But the effect did not seem obvious.

Wang Daniu still pressed tightly behind her.

She felt a wave of helplessness in her heart.

This Wang Daniu, his courage is truly too small.

But then she thought about it.

Wang Daniu is, after all, just a servant, and his cultivation is only at the Qi Refining First Layer.

Facing the stares of so many Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

It is understandable that he would be a bit nervous.

Thinking of this.

Her heart immediately returned to calm.

She did not dodge Wang Jianqiang's closeness.

She completely let it be.

Wang Daniu is, after all, here to help her, and his current predicament is also caused by her.

Naturally, she cannot ignore it.

The people in the square saw this scene, and looks of envy appeared on their faces one after another.

Lu Yunqing is the number one Outer Sect genius who crushes everyone else by a wide margin.

Moreover, her appearance is stunningly beautiful.

In daily life, there are countless people who harbor fantasies about her.

Yet not a single person has been able to catch her attention.

No one can get close to her.

Who would have thought that this servant would have such good luck.

To actually be able to make Lu Yunqing disregard his overstepping actions and treat him so specially!

It is simply enough to make others green with envy!

The crowd stared at Wang Jianqiang, the jealousy in their eyes almost overflowing.

They seemed to want to glare Wang Jianqiang to death and swap themselves into Wang Jianqiang's position.

Until a figure flashed out from the sky above the square.

Only then did everyone's attention shift.

"Greetings, Elder."

Seeing that figure in the sky, everyone bowed and offered their respects.

Wang Jianqiang also followed Lu Yunqing in bowing.

Facing the obeisance of the crowd, the person who arrived nodded, "You may all dispense with the formalities."

After her voice fell, the crowd straightened their backs.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the figure in the air without changing his expression.

That was a beautiful woman.

Her cultivation had actually reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Stage!

He could not help but feel some emotion in his heart.

The overall strength Outside the Realm was indeed much stronger than in the Immortal Abandoned Land.

A Cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage, in the Immortal Abandoned Land, no matter where they were placed, could be called an overlord of a region.

They were the top-tier combat power within a top-tier force.

Like a needle to calm the sea, they were an existence that served as a foundation.

Yet in this Beast Taming Sect, they actually used Void Refinement Stage Cultivators as Elders!

That the Immortal Abandoned Land had been able to resist Out-of-Boundary Cultivators for so many years without being breached.

Truly was not easy.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was feeling emotional.

The beautiful woman raised her hand and pressed down toward the area below.

In the center of the Square, a patch of space rotated and twisted, eventually turning into a circular Space Channel.

She looked at the crowd, "The entrance to the Beast Realm has opened; you may enter."

Upon hearing this, the crowd entered the opening one after another.

"Let us go in as well."

After speaking, she hesitated for a moment and grabbed Wang Jianqiang's hand.

Wang Jianqiang's expression stiffened, "Fairy Lu, there are many people here; it will have a bad influence if seen by others."

Lu Yunqing blushed and spat lightly, "What are you thinking?"

"I am only afraid that we will be separated after entering the Secret Realm. Your cultivation is too low; once separated, you will almost certainly die."

"So that is how it is."

Wang Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he confidently grip Lu Yunqing's slender palm in return.

Lu Yunqing noticed Wang Jianqiang's expression and could no longer care about being shy.

Her heart was filled with speechlessness.

Was Wang Daniu just now...

Disliking her?

After entering the space opening leading to the Beast Realm.

A pulling force immediately enveloped the two of them.

Wang Jianqiang felt his vision blur.

When things became clear before his eyes again, he discovered that he had already arrived in another space.

This place was extremely vast; looking forward.

Mountains, rivers, vegetation...

One could not see the end at a glance.

In this world, there were many demonic beasts.

Among the mountains, amidst the vegetation, within the rivers, in the sky...

Traces of demonic beasts were everywhere.

"This is the Beast Realm."

"There are many demonic beasts in the Beast Realm; you must not leave my side."

To the side, Lu Yunqing looked at Wang Jianqiang and instructed with a serious expression.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Fairy Lu, I understand."

Lu Yunqing nodded.

Afterward, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You just need to follow closely by my side; there is no need to..."

"Continue holding my hand."

"Oh~"

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly let go of Lu Yunqing's small hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "Entering such a dangerous place for the first time, I was too nervous, making Fairy Lu laugh at me."

Lu Yunqing shook her head as if she did not mind, "It is fine. In this Beast Realm, it is not wrong to be cautious, but there is no need to be overly nervous."

"With me protecting you, I will not let anything happen to you."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Where shall we go next?"

Lu Yunqing smiled, "Let us go directly to find that demonic beast I trapped."

After speaking, the two flew toward the depths of this space.

Demonic beasts ran rampant in the Beast Realm.

The two's journey was not smooth, and they encountered attacks from demonic beasts several times along the way.

But Lu Yunqing's strength was formidable.

All the demonic beasts that attacked were easily repelled by her.

According to Wang Jianqiang's observation.

Her Soul Power had already reached about fifteen times that of an ordinary Golden Core Stage Perfection Cultivator.

Such talent was already extremely astonishing.

Even for geniuses of the level of Mu Lingxi and Tushan Youyou, if they did not have the help of the Jade Purification Art.

Their talent in Soul Power would likely not be much stronger than hers.

On the third day of entering the Beast Realm.

The two arrived at the foot of a large mountain.

Seeing this large mountain, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

Although this large mountain appeared normal, he was able to perceive that a layer of Array was shrouding the outside of the mountain.

Because of this layer of Array, the Spirit Qi on the mountain was constantly being drained away.

Causing the Spirit Qi on the mountain to always be in an extremely thin state.

Because the Spirit Qi was thin, Spirit Plants could not receive sufficient Spirit Qi supply and struggled to survive, leading to the near extinction of Spirit Plants in the mountain.

Thinking of what Lu Yunqing had said before.

A flash of realization crossed his mind.

No wonder when he had asked Lu Yunqing back then if the demon beast she had her eye on would break through its cultivation and be taken into the second layer of the Beast Realm, she could be so confident.

It turned out she had already trapped that demon beast within an Array.

However, although he had already guessed it in his heart.

When he saw Lu Yunqing stop at the foot of the mountain, he still revealed a look of inquiry.

"Fairy Lu, is the demon beast you had your eye on back then inside this mountain?"

Lu Yunqing heard this, smiled, and nodded, "That's right, that demon beast is named the Huanxin Butterfly; in terms of absolute strength, it is not top-tier, but it possesses an extremely strong talent for illusion techniques."

"Its comprehensive combat power is extremely strong."

"Back then, even though I made full preparations, I still failed to capture it."

"This time, I must capture it."

Speaking of this, she took out a Spirit Flower.

The Spirit Flower was in full bloom, its petals were purple, and each petal was crystal clear, as if cast from purple jade, with a faint Spirit Light radiating from it.

"This flower is named the Jade Luo Flower, and for a Huanxin Butterfly about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, its attraction is immense."

"If this Purple Luo Flower can be planted in this mountain and arranged into a dangerous trap, wanting to capture the Huanxin Butterfly will be easy."

"However, the Huanxin Butterfly has high intelligence, and it is very difficult to deceive it."

"Therefore, the trap must be arranged flawlessly."

"This is also the purpose of me inviting you here."

Wang Jianqiang was thoughtful, "Fairy Lu wants me to plant this Jade Luo Flower in this mountain?"

Lu Yunqing nodded, "That's right, I am not proficient in the planting and cultivation of Spirit Medicine; if I were to plant this flower myself, it would be very easy for flaws to be seen."

"You are different; your talent in planting and cultivating Spirit Medicine is extremely high. Qing Yu once said that in terms of planting and cultivating Spirit Medicine alone, even she, a Third-tier Alchemist, is not as good as you."

"If you are the one to plant the Purple Luo Flower, you will certainly be able to make it look real and deceive the Huanxin Butterfly."

Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of realization.

"Let's begin."

Lu Yunqing took a deep breath and pointed her finger toward the front.

As a Spirit Light flashed.

The void in front suddenly began to twist.

"Walk from here, and you can pass through the Array outside the mountain."

Lu Yunqing reminded Wang Jianqiang, took the lead in walking toward the twisted space, merged into it, and disappeared.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang lifted his feet and followed.

The next moment.

The two appeared inside the Array.

"Follow me."

Lu Yunqing greeted Wang Jianqiang, released a wisp of Spiritual Power, and wrapped it around Wang Jianqiang.

They flew rapidly toward the mountain.

Not long after.

The two arrived at an open space.

Lu Yunqing observed the terrain, her expression stirred, "This terrain is very suitable for an ambush; let's set the trap here."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Not appropriate."

Lu Yunqing was startled.

Wang Jianqiang looked at her and continued, "Fairy Lu, the environment here does not meet the survival conditions of the Purple Luo Flower; one could even say it is completely incompatible. If the Huanxin Butterfly's intelligence is truly as high as you said, Fairy."

"It will certainly be able to see the flaws."

Lu Yunqing was startled, then immediately laughed, "That's true, I neglected that point."

"It is fortunate that I brought you this time, otherwise, this trip to the Beast Realm would likely have been a failure again."

While speaking, Lu Yunqing could not help but feel some lingering fear in her heart.

For the sake of the Huanxin Butterfly, she had wasted a full fifty years.

If she were unable to capture the Huanxin Butterfly this time, the loss would be huge.

"What kind of place do you think is suitable for setting a trap?"

After coming back to her senses, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, revealing a questioning expression.

Wang Jianqiang did not answer immediately, "Fairy, could you first take me for a tour around this mountain?"

"No problem."

Lu Yunqing nodded.

Using Spiritual Power to lift Wang Jianqiang, she began to travel through the mountain.

One hour later.

When the two passed by a stream, Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

"Fairy Lu, let's do it right here."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Lu Yunqing stopped immediately.

She brought Wang Jianqiang down to land beside the stream.

Wang Jianqiang came to a giant rock by the side of the stream.

One side of the giant rock touched the ground, while the other side was suspended in the air due to the lower terrain.

Beneath it was a space about a zhang high.

Wang Jianqiang came under the giant rock and planted the Purple Luo Flower.

He also performed some Disguise.

He wiped away the traces of artificial planting, disguising it to look wild.

After the Disguise was finished, he stood up and looked at Lu Yunqing, "Next, Fairy Lu can set up the trap."

"Right, the aura I left near the Purple Luo Flower also needs to be wiped away by you, Fairy."

While speaking, Wang Jianqiang had already moved away from the giant rock and returned to Lu Yunqing's side.

Lu Yunqing nodded.

Her Spirit Sense swept across, wiping away the aura Wang Jianqiang had left behind.

Afterwards, she flipped her hand and took out an Array Disk.

She poured Spiritual Power into it.

The Array Disk floated up into the air, then shattered into ten thousand specks of light, merging into the void.

It transformed into an Array, shrouding this area.

The moment Lu Yunqing activated the Array Disk, Wang Jianqiang had already seen through this Array.

This was a composite Mid-level Fourth Rank Array.

It integrated a Trapping Array and a Killing Array into one.

Its power was quite decent.

An ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator who fell into this Array would have no hope of escaping safely.

Using this Array to deal with a Golden Core Stage Perfection level demonic beast.

It could indeed be called foolproof.

After setting up the Array.

Lu Yunqing pointed her finger.

A streak of Spirit Light shot toward the Purple Luo Flower under the giant rock.

The next moment.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared on the surface of the Purple Luo Flower, and the Spiritual Power that had been attached to its surface to seal its aura vanished instantly.

"With this Purple Luo Flower here, the Spirit Qi on the mountain will inevitably concentrate toward this place."

"The Spirit Qi on this mountain is already thin, so the flow of Spirit Qi under such conditions will be very obvious."

"The Huanxin Butterfly is extremely sensitive to heaven and earth Spirit Qi and Spirit Medicine, so it will definitely be able to find its way here."

"We only need to wait here for the rabbit."

Lu Yunqing took Wang Jianqiang and flew out of the area covered by the Array, looking down from above, her beautiful eyes filled with deep anticipation.

Afterward, she brought Wang Jianqiang to land on a large tree, and Spiritual Power surged, shrouding both her and Wang Jianqiang.

The two of them immediately hid themselves and vanished into thin air.
