Chapter 79: New Mission, Establish the Immortal Realm
Endless monsters spread out; most could only move on the ground, though some monsters had the ability to fly.
Wherever the abyssal monsters passed, not a blade of grass grew; even underground reptiles and bacteria had no chance of survival.
This was the devouring of life energy.
After the abyssal monsters tread upon it, the world became empty and barren; the original green mountains and forests turned into bald land, devoid of any vitality.
The abyssal monsters spread outward; the first to suffer were the soul beasts that hadn't fled far, and the second were the towns outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian arrived at the place where Mu Junwu had taken root.
Beside the vast lake, the seven great hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, the Demon Queen, Wan Yao Wang, Chi Wang, Qing Tian Niu Mang, and the Titan Giant Ape—led tens of thousands of ten-thousand-year soul beasts and gathered here.
These colossal beings, ranging from a few meters to tens of meters in size, appeared in great numbers, shocking the mind.
However, most of these ten-thousand-year soul beasts had only one or two ten-thousand years of cultivation; those with over fifty thousand numbered only about eight hundred or one thousand.
Know that for ordinary soul beasts, fifty thousand years of cultivation equals a Soul Saint; so many soul beasts may seem strong, but in reality they could only cause trouble for humans, and before the abyss they were utterly insignificant.
"Greetings, Beast God." The seven great soul beasts shouted in unison.
Tens of thousands of ten-thousand-year soul beasts prostrated on the ground, emitting various low roars, showing submission and daring not to make any extra movement.
Di Tian gazed at this magnificent scene, nodding with satisfaction, but upon thinking of the abyss, his face darkened again.
Just then, Di Tian sensed over a hundred Title Douluo-level auras appearing within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Immediately afterward, he felt those powerful and foul auras rushing toward this place at extreme speed.
Di Tian's face sank as he shouted urgently, "Bai Yuan, I've brought the soul beasts for you—why haven't you come out yet, you brat!"
In response to Di Tian, Mu Junwu's sturdy body revealed a window concealed by an illusion.
With a squeak, the window opened; Bai Yuan stepped forth, treading a blood-red long sword, his body surrounded by seventy-nine identical dragon scale swords, flying out from within.
"What's the rush? It's just a bunch of little reptiles. If they dare come today, I'll wipe them all out." Bai Yuan's calm voice echoed between heaven and earth.
Seeing Bai Yuan's body surrounded by blood-red dragon scale swords and sensing the terrifying, god-level killing intent within them, Di Tian felt his scalp go numb.
Previously in Tian Dou City, Bai Yuan, wielding the same type of sword, shattered Tang Hao's desperate strike with one blow and slew him—a scene that flashed through Di Tian's mind.
The power of that sword was terrifying indeed.
Even he could only avoid its edge.
Moreover, Di Tian knew that the price Bai Yuan paid for unleashing that god-level sword was merely a broken weapon and a few injuries.
Although that sword was immensely shocking, it was still just a single sword; but now, seeing the number of swords surrounding Bai Yuan, Di Tian felt that the Lord's choice to win him over was profoundly wise.
"My vision is short-sighted, far inferior to the Lord's." Di Tian sighed inwardly, while also beginning to admire Gu Yue Na.
Bai Yuan, unaware of Di Tian's thoughts, flew straight to his side on his sword and stopped; immediately, the many blood-red dragon scale swords vanished one by one, leaving only the one beneath his feet.
Di Tian leaned close to Bai Yuan and whispered, "Bai Yuan, we're also acquainted through combat; I've helped you a few times. Moreover, overusing these dragon scale swords harms the body—may I have a few? Is that too much?"
Bai Yuan smiled and said, "Di Tian, I'm not lying to you; this sword is like the talisman paper before—your soul power has no effect, and unlike the talisman paper, the dragon scale sword cannot fully unleash its power with essence blood."
Di Tian felt a sudden loss.
He had yet to experience god-level power.
Bai Yuan then took the initiative to approach and said, "Di Tian, why not become my disciple? Then you could use them. And as a master, giving one or two swords to a disciple for self-defense is also acceptable."
"Get lost!" Di Tian blurted out.
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
Earlier, Bai Yuan had said he could help Di Tian break through to god-level; Di Tian had already been moved, but out of pride he felt embarrassed to formally become a disciple.
Now Bai Yuan came looking for him, and he instinctively refused; Di Tian even felt like slapping himself.
Seeing this, Bai Yuan sighed, turned his gaze toward the countless soul beasts below, and his voice, amplified by spiritual power, spread like waves across tens of thousands of meters.
"Will you sincerely take me as your master? Remember, when you agree, you must do so wholeheartedly." Bai Yuan spoke calmly.
Among the many ten-thousand-year soul beasts that had just gained a hint of intelligence but were still not very clever, a small portion understood: the divine beast had gathered them here to have them take the human before them as their master.
Some soul beasts prostrated themselves fully, some were confused, and some silently agreed in their hearts but did not take it to heart.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully taking a disciple!"
"Congratulations, host, on successfully taking a disciple!"
Such voices rang continuously in Bai Yuan's mind.
Bai Yuan's lips curled upward.
Not long after, another voice sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, your disciple count has reached three hundred sixty-five; reward: Current Most Needed Treasure Chest ×1, one million Morality Points."
Bai Yuan opened his attribute panel.

【Current Mission Three: Establish an Immortal Realm (cultivators living in the Immortal Realm will greatly increase their lifespan), Reward: Current Most Needed Treasure Chest ×1, 10,000,000 Morality Points.】
Bai Yuan looked at the two Current Most Needed Treasure Chests and over 1,110,000 Morality Points, and nodded.
But when he saw Current Mission Three, Bai Yuan was somewhat stunned.
He originally thought it would be a goal of accepting several thousand or even ten thousand disciples, but it turned out to be establishing an Immortal Realm?
You should know, a True Immortal transcends the Three Realms, not residing in the Five Elements, thus there is basically no so-called Immortal Realm.
And this Immortal Realm, at a glance, is a place for cultivators who have not truly attained the Dao, used to extend their lifespans.
Just then, nine figures flew from the horizon.
They are nine Quasi-God level powerhouses!
Above demigods, they are existences even closer to deities.
In other words, as long as they possess a divine position, any one of them can instantly become a god.
