Chapter 721: Cleaning Up the Harvest (First Update, Requesting Everything)

After rushing into the Silent Forest, Li Zhangsheng immediately stooped and charged into the vast sea of trees. After slightly changing his direction, he headed toward the location of Danwang Biefu.

Since he had come to the Silent Forest, it was only natural to rest at Danwang Biefu for a few days to avoid the limelight first. After all, it would take some time to reach the Baisheng King Secret Realm, and besides, Dou Zhangsheng might still be wandering around the Silent Forest.

Although Li Zhangsheng had exited his Five-Colored Peacock form, given Dou Zhangsheng's strength and status, it was highly likely he possessed tracking treasures like a Soul-Chasing Manikin or Seven Luminaries Heaven-Patrolling Incense; it would be troublesome if he were discovered.

As for how to track Li Zhangsheng, one only needed to take in those from the Langya Liu Clan whom he had killed.

This time, the Langya Liu Clan could be said to have suffered a severe blow; not only was their foundation—the Secret Realm—ruined, but their Treasure Pavilion, except for the first floor, had been swept clean, and in particular, they had lost two Sixth-Rank Internal Affairs Elders and one Fifth-Rank External Affairs Clan Elder.

Such a massive loss could no longer be described as merely a severe blow.

The current Langya Liu Clan could only be described as lingering on their last breath; originally, even without a Pseudo-King holding the fort, they still had three Sixth-Rank Experts, but now only one remained.

This was just the beginning. Having lost powerful military suppression while still guarding vast industries and resources, the Langya Liu Clan would surely lead a miserable existence in the days to come, and might even face the disaster of total annihilation.

The Langya Liu Clan was located within the capital city, so logically, they should not face the threat of annihilation, but wealth moves people's hearts; who knew if the Imperial Family might also set their sights on them.

Most importantly, the underage Five-Colored Peacock that Li Zhangsheng had transformed into had flown out from the Langya Liu Clan's base. Dou Zhangsheng would certainly believe the Five-Colored Peacock was related to the Langya Liu Clan, so how could he not conduct a thorough investigation?

In short, even if the Langya Liu Clan survived the crisis of annihilation, they would surely suffer heavy losses, and in the end, apart from the name of a King Family, their influence would likely be no different from an ordinary Famous Clan.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng, having encountered no danger, successfully arrived at the edge of a swamp; the stone slab to open Danwang Biefu was beneath the swamp.

This swamp was one that Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen had artificially created after leaving Danwang Biefu last time, primarily to conceal the stone slab that opened Danwang Biefu.

This stone slab could not be moved, otherwise the semi-plane where Danwang Biefu was located might collapse; unless one became a King or the Chi Dragon reached the Demon King level, it was best not to move it lightly.

Li Zhangsheng no longer maintained the Five-Colored Peacock form and reverted to his original body. His complexion was somewhat pale; clearly, maintaining the Five-Colored Peacock form had consumed a great deal of his energy.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng drained the swamp just as he had done last time. With the Imitation Demon Refining Pot above his head, wrapped in five-colored brilliance, he jumped straight into the swamp.

The Imitation Demon Refining Pot possessed the ability to command Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. Under a miraculous repulsion, the murky swamp parted spontaneously, forming a passage leading straight to the underground.

In just a few breaths' time, Li Zhangsheng finally stopped. Before him was a small stone chamber.

After leaving last time, Li Zhangsheng had used the power of the Cangxuan Earth-Fixing Pearl to create this stone chamber and set up several Restrictions; the stone slab to open the path to Danwang Biefu was right inside this chamber.

Li Zhangsheng prepared to hide in Danwang Biefu for a few days, utilizing the unique nature of Danwang Biefu to avoid being detected by tracking treasures or Secret Techniques.

Like the Baisheng King Secret Realm, although Danwang Biefu was also attached to this world, the two were not completely unified. As long as the entrance was closed, one could perfectly ignore treasures and Secret Techniques like the Soul-Chasing Manikin or Seven Luminaries Heaven-Patrolling Incense.

Of course, if it were a World Wonder-level tracking treasure, it might not necessarily be unable to ignore the separation between planes, though the probability was very small.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng still made a second preparation: he planned to enter the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian after entering Danwang Biefu.

In this way, adding another layer of space, the difficulty of tracking would increase geometrically; even a Purple Mansion Rare Treasure would likely be unable to track Li Zhangsheng.

As long as he stayed in the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian for five days, Li Zhangsheng could return.

Before entering Danwang Biefu, Li Zhangsheng used the Mother Conch to successfully contact Ning Bizhen. The two exchanged information, and naturally, Ning Bizhen would continue to play Li Zhangsheng's role, remaining in seclusion at the Number One Courtyard.

After ending the "call" with Ning Bizhen, Li Zhangsheng took out the map of Danwang Biefu and placed it into the groove of the stone slab, where it fit perfectly.

The next moment, the ground vibrated slightly, and wisps of brilliance emerged from the Danwang Biefu map, rapidly spreading over the entire stone slab.

It was also at this time that a white light shot out from the stone slab, falling continuously into the void in front, causing layers of ripples to appear; a space portal over two meters high quickly manifested before Li Zhangsheng.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng stepped into the space portal.

With a sensation of the world spinning, the environment before his eyes changed drastically, and Li Zhangsheng successfully entered Danwang Biefu.

Li Zhangsheng observed his surroundings; compared to last time, Danwang Biefu had not changed at all. It remained a wasteland, with absolutely no signs of life.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng's figure vanished, instantly entering the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian.

Although the area of this space had not increased, it had changed significantly. This space was covered with a large number of spiritual plants; although most were not yet mature, it still gave one a feeling of flourishing vitality.

The growth rate of these spiritual plants had increased significantly; this was not only the credit of the Tree of Life, the Spirit Soil, and Xiaoguai, but was also closely related to the Dangkang Xianglian Kongjian.

During his exploration over this period, Li Zhangsheng had confirmed that this space could significantly accelerate the growth rate of spiritual plants, with the boost primarily related to the rank of the spiritual plant—the higher the rank, the smaller the boost.

However, even for the top-tier spiritual plant, the Tree of Life, its growth rate had increased by more than double, not to mention spiritual plants of lower rank than the Tree of Life.

Additionally, as long as a spiritual plant produced fruit or a seed began to germinate, it could potentially lead to a bumper harvest; one could potentially become two, which was also an incredible ability.

Apart from these two abilities, Li Zhangsheng had not yet discovered any others.

Within this space, the Tree of Life was deeply rooted in the central area, causing the entire space to become further stabilized.

Near the Tree of Life were planted the Lanxin Fruit Tree, Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree, Sacred Zhilan Grass, Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit Tree, Fire Essence Jujube tree, and other spiritual plants.

The more precious the spiritual plant, the closer it was to the Tree of Life, allowing it to obtain faster growth.

Because of the Tree of Life, even the newly transplanted Lanxin Fruit Tree and Sacred Zhilan Grass showed no signs of failing to adapt to the environment.

The originally withered Sacred Zhilan Grass also showed no signs of worsening; according to Xiaoguai, after a period of time, the Sacred Zhilan Grass would be able to recover to normal.

Not far away, two large and two small Qingming Changsheng Cats were playing with yarn balls with Baitan and Heiye; in just this short time, they had established a friendship.

Li Zhangsheng did not restrict the freedom of these four Qingming Changsheng Cats, but they had to obey Xiaoguai's orders and were not allowed to cause destruction here.

In the corner of the space, there were two Steel Cages, inside which Di Zhuo and the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast were imprisoned. Perhaps because they lived a leisurely life of eating and sleeping every day, their bodies had become slightly fatter.

However, when Li Zhangsheng entered, the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast immediately stood up, baring its fangs at him and letting out an angry roar.

In contrast, Di Zhuo only glanced at Li Zhangsheng before continuing to lie on the ground to sleep. It had once been the same as the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast, but after discovering it was of no use, it ultimately chose to give up, living a life of just eating and waiting to die every day.

And truth be told, apart from lacking freedom, Di Zhuo felt that such a life was actually quite good; there was no need to fight to the death or train with all its might like before.

Simply put, Di Zhuo was a salted fish.

Li Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast; he took out three rings and three Monster Pet Bags. They came from two Sixth-Rank and one Fifth-Rank, so he expected a good harvest.

First were the three Monster Pet Bags; one of them had no Monster Pet, and the other two combined only had four Temporary Spirit Pets.

Due to the death of the Monster Tamer, the temporary contracts of these spirit pets had automatically vanished.

What was worth rejoicing was that among them was a Leader-level Thunder Cloud Storm Tiger, possessing a Concentrated Grade White Tiger Bloodline.

Now that the yield of spiritual plants had increased significantly, the current output alone was enough to support more than ten spirit pets, to say nothing of the future.

Thus, Li Zhangsheng did not kill the Thunder Cloud Storm Tiger, nor did he lock it in a Steel Cage, but instead signed a temporary contract with it, granting it a certain degree of freedom.

The other three spirit pets were not so lucky; they were directly finished off by Li Zhangsheng.

After putting away the Monster Pet Bags, Li Zhangsheng poured out all the items from the three Space Rings.

These three Space Rings all had considerable area, and suddenly, three small hills appeared before Li Zhangsheng.

The three of them were, after all, Clan Elders of the Langya Liu Clan, and their accumulations were far deeper than those of ordinary Stronger individuals of the same rank.

Taking Soul Crystals alone, there were over five hundred thousand; this was another not-insignificant resource, enough to buy a giant dragon.

There is no need to even mention the Demon Cores and materials, but compared to Pseudo-Kings like Liu Xuguang and Liu Zongtang, the quality was a grade lower; the three rings combined actually only contained one Demon King-level Demon Core.

Of course, there were quite a few Lord-level Demon Cores, but these things were of little use to Li Zhangsheng; they were almost no different from basic resources, all being consumables.

Li Zhangsheng also found six tokens and a large quantity of daily necessities; these could be said to be completely useless to him, and for this recent period of time, he would no longer set his sights on the Langya Liu Clan.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng sorted out the five most valuable items from among them, which were two Inheritance Jade Slips, one crystal, one Jade Bottle, and one Jade Box.

Today's goal: three, pigs, verified!
