Chapter 282: Xuan Ye
Cong Lang gently held the round little hands on his waist. He said, “Li Nu, the outside world is even more exciting.”
Li Nu shook her head. “You’re the one who excites me.”
Cong Lang sighed softly. “Little fool.”
Li Nu only wanted to stay by Cong Lang’s side. Other than that, she was unwilling to go anywhere.
Cong Lang told Li Nu, “After I die, bury my Beast Heart on this mountain peak and let me transform into a Spirit Gathering Tree to accompany you forever.”
Li Nu nodded with trembling eyes. “I will obey the Master’s orders.”
“Li Nu, when I die, bring me to the world you were born in. Didn’t you say that you came from a small world? I’ll accompany you back to your hometown.”
“Okay.”
“Li Nu.” Cong Lang turned around and hugged Li Nu. He stroked Li Nu’s hair and sighed. “If there is a next life, I will come back to find you. Li Nu, without me, you have to live well alone. Don’t make me worry.”
“… Okay.”
Li Nu turned into a leopard cat and entered Cong Lang’s arms.
Seeing the civet cat, Yu Huang suddenly exclaimed, “The civet slave is actually a civet cat, similar to Auntie’s civet cat.”
Sheng Xiao stared at the civet cat for a moment before saying, “They look alike, but they’re not the same.”
Then, the scene changed.
Prime Emperor Cong Lang fell. Li Nu dug out his Beast Heart and buried it at the top of the mountain. A silver-white Spirit Gathering Tree broke out of the mountain.
During the quiet years, Li Nu had always been in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm. She sat under the Spirit Gathering Tree and held a carving knife as she carved out her master’s appearance one by one.
She kept those wooden figurines on the third floor of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, with her previous works. There was one doll that had been baptized by her love and actually developed consciousness.
It could speak and chat with the leopard cat.
Chatting with a doll that looked like her owner had become Li Nu’s way of relieving boredom.
On this day, the Cong Lang Mystic Realm finally brought Li Nu back to her hometown, the Holy Spirit Continent. On that day, the Cong Lang Mystic Realm broke through the spatial restriction and descended into a valley on the Divine Realm Continent.
The appearance of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm caused a commotion in the Holy Spirit Continent. Before long, the entrance to the mystic realm was forcefully opened, and a group of powerful people charged into the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.
At the same time, the s.p.a.ce in the mystic realm suddenly shook. It was the change in Li Nu’s mental state.
In Li Nu’s impression, this group of people had no specific facial features. Their faces were distorted black. It was obvious that Li Nu hated them.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were dragged into Li Nu’s grievances. So, the beast tamers who trespa.s.sed into the mystic realm could not detect their presence.
After this group of people broke into the mystic realm, they quickly discovered the existence of the Spirit Gathering Tree.
“What tree is that?!”
“The spirit energy around that tree is very rich. Does anyone know what tree it is?”
A man in a long red robe looked up at the Spirit Gathering Tree. He said, “It’s a Spirit Gathering Tree. Normally, only after a powerful Prime Emperor powerhouse dies will their Beast Heart and skeleton be able to cultivate a Spirit Gathering Tree. This Spirit Gathering Tree is so large. I think that the Prime Emperor skeleton and Beast Heart buried beneath it must be extremely powerful!”
“It’s even stronger than the Spirit Gathering Bone at the bottom of the Divine Realm Academy’s Cultivation Hall?” It was no secret that the Prime Master Goldfeather’s skeleton had been refined by a disciple into a Spirit Gathering Bone after her death.
The Purifying Spirit Master said, “It’s many times stronger.”
Hearing that, the Beast Tamers standing beside the Purifying Spirit Master were very excited. “If only we could bring such a treasure out of the mystic realm.”
“The Yin Clan planted a vermillion elm tree and is so smug about it. If we can plant a Spirit Gathering Tree together, that would be truly extraordinary!”
Staring at the Spirit Gathering Tree, these powerful beast tamers were all envious. “Why don’t we dig out this Spirit Gathering Tree and bring it out?”
Hearing this, the red-robed Supremacy frowned and said, “The Spirit Gathering Tree is the resting place of the Prime Emperor. If you dig up the tree, you are digging up a person’s grave. This is wicked.”
“Haha!” Someone laughed loudly. That person said, “Supremacy Xuan Ye, we can do such a wicked thing. You won’t touch it, okay?”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were shocked when they heard Xuan Ye’s name.
Sheng Xiao suddenly told Yu Huang, “The Cong Lang Mystic Realm appeared for the first time three hundred years ago. Saint Xuan Ye and a group of Grand Master beast tamers were the first batch of people to enter the mystic realm. We don’t know what happened to them. In the end, only Saint Xuan Ye walked out alive.”
“To date, only Saint Xuan Ye is still alive.” Three hundred years ago, Saint Xuan Ye was still a Supremacy.
Their conversation was interrupted by the beast tamers.
Dozens of powerful beast tamers flew towards the Spirit Gathering Tree. They used their spiritual power together and wanted to uproot the tree from the soil.
Sensing the abnormality, Li Nu immediately ran out from inside the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower.
Li Nu flew towards the Spirit Gathering Tree. Her back was facing the tree’s thick tree roots, and she spread her arms to protect the tree roots behind her. Her slightly fat body looked slender and small compared to the tree roots.
Li Nu stared at the trespa.s.sers warily and said coldly, “This is my master’s resting place. No one is allowed to touch it!”
Seeing that there was actually a living fat beauty in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, the group of beast tamers were somewhat shocked. “Huh? Why is there someone alive in here?”
At that moment, Xuan Ye suddenly said, “She’s not human.”
The group of beast tamers immediately turned to look at Xuan Ye and asked curiously, “Not human? Could it be a ghost? Then this ghost is a little too lifelike.
Supremacy Xuan Ye shook his head slightly. He said, “She’s not human. She’s a demon beast incarnated by a divine demon.” The so-called divine demon referred to a demon beast that had broken through the intelligence of a demon beast. Like humans, it was a demon beast that could cry and think.
These types of divine demons could cultivate non-stop. After their cultivation level broke through to level 10, they could transform into human form. The Icy Night T-Rex from the Divine Realm Academy was now a divine demon.
Li Nu, on the other hand, was a cat. Strictly speaking, Sheng Xiao’s mother was also a divine demon.
After knowing Li Nu’s ident.i.ty, the beast tamers looked at her as if she was a piece of delicious meat.
Someone said, “I heard that divine demons who have transformed into human form are highly nutritious drugs. It is said that after eating their flesh, ordinary people can also awaken their beast form. After drinking their blood, those who are seriously ill can revive, and those who have broken bones can regenerate their flesh, blood, and bones!”
One of the beast tamers rubbed his hands and stared at Li Nu with greed in his eyes. He shouted, “Capture her and let the younger generation of the tribe eat her flesh to help them awaken their beast form and improve the strength of the various tribes. Isn’t that good?”
