Chapter 137 The End of Demon Venerable Bai Chen's Secret Realm
"Slap~"
Liu Mang heavily fell to the ground, and the water of the Canglan River flowed back into the Canglan Umbrella.
"Cough cough~"
Liu Meng spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with viscera.
"Let us go, or else, I will fight you to the death!"
Just as Fang Ling and the others were about to continue their attack, Hu Sanniang, who had transformed back into her saber-toothed tiger form, spat out her demon core, which exuded wild demonic power. She shouted loudly.
Hu Chi, Hu He, Hu Wan, and Hu Le didn't hesitate to spit out their demon cores as well, assuming the posture to self-detonate them.
Zhu Yan's green dragon hurriedly distanced itself from them.
Though distance wouldn't do much good, as if the five heavenly demons were to self-detonate their demon cores, it's feared that none of the present humans or demons, except those who were freakishly strong, would survive.
"Fine!"
After exchanging glances again, Fang Ling was the one who finally agreed to Hu Sanniang's demand.
The five saber-toothed tigers came to Liu Mang's side, lifted the weakened man, and retreated back into the foggy area.
As for that carrot-shaped staff, it was taken by Jiang Yueli into her possession.
It was a middle-grade ancient treasure of the Third Stage.
The four entered the small castle, retracted the Five Elements Rotation Array, and the array flags were evenly divided between Fang Ling, Yu Qingtan, and Zhu Yan.
Jiang Yueli, having taken Liu Mang's carrot-shaped staff, had taken a great advantage. However, Yu Qingtan and the other two didn't mind and tacitly left her owing them a favor.
Yu Qingtan really wanted all the array flags but unfortunately didn't have anything suitable to exchange for them.
When Huang Zhangjie left earlier, he had also transmitted a message to everyone that he wanted to take the array flags of the Five Elements Rotation Array, but Fang Ling and his companions all refused.
With the situation pressing, although Huang Zhangjie was regretful, he didn't insist.
He had already succeeded once, and with materials in the future, crafting and arranging them again wouldn't be difficult.
At that moment, four boxes emitting rainbow-colored halos appeared in front of the four.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Each found a small room and checked their loot.
Yu Qingtan opened her box to find a jade slip inside.
When her divine sense explored it, it turned out to be a body refining technique.
The Demon Blood Refinement Technique, which could be cultivated directly up to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Yu Qingtan was overjoyed as the Ice Skin Jade Bone Art she was currently cultivating could only be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It was like being offered a pillow as she dozed off.
Without delay, Yu Qingtan began to examine it thoroughly.
...
After a day had passed, with a flash of white light, Yu Qingtan and the others disappeared from the spot.
"Congratulations on reaching the ninth layer of the Thousand Beasts Mountain!"
Yu Qingtan and the others appeared in a grand hall.
The hall was several times larger than the one on the eighth layer, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the beams, very majestic.
At the head of the hall, a woman in white clothes with white hair stood with her back to them, giving off an aloof and transcendent aura.
The voice came from the woman in white.
"You, if you can withstand a single palm strike from me without perishing, you may pass the ninth layer of the Thousand Beasts Mountain and receive the final reward of the Thousand Beasts Mountain trial. Would you care to try?"
The woman turned around and spoke indifferently.
Yu Qingtan looked over and saw that the woman had phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and long hair that cascaded over her shoulders, her presence commanding an unforced dignity, so beautiful that it made Yu Qingtan feel inferior.
Fang Ling, Jiang Yueli, and Zhu Yan all marveled at the woman's beauty, but as her words fell, an overwhelming and boundless aura emanated from her.
Yu Qingtan and the others felt like a tiny boat in the midst of raging waves, about to be capsized at any moment.
"A Fifth Stage Demon Venerable!"
The four fell silent, as their chances of surviving under the hand of a Fifth Stage Demon Venerable were less than one percent.
That one percent chance was still hoping that the opponent would only strike casually.
Even the usually sleazy and arrogant Ancestor Blood Xi did not speak up in Fang Ling's mind this time, as if falling back into slumber.
Fifth-Stage Demon Venerable, an existence that could rival the Human Race's God Transformation Honorables—their majesty was not something that these Foundation Establishment Cultivators could fathom.
The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm that Fang Ling had entered before had witnessed the fall of a Fifth-Stage Blood Jiao; after who knows how many tens of thousands of years, a single drop of essence blood continued to benefit Fang Ling to this day, and the residual lustful aura rendered Golden Core Cultivators utterly defenseless.
Now, a living Fifth-Stage existence stood before them, and Yu Qingtan and the others couldn't even muster any thoughts of resistance.
"I'll give you three more breaths' time, and if you don't leave, I will have to make a move!"
The white-haired woman casually played with a folding fan in her hand, speaking indifferently.
The first breath, Jiang Yueli and Fang Ling did not hesitate to activate their Teleportation Talismans.
The second breath, after the two disappeared, Zhu Yan and Yu Qingtan almost simultaneously each took out an Uninscribed Token.
The two women exchanged surprised glances.
The white-haired woman's eyes lit up, and she praised, "Not bad, you even have Myriad Beasts Tokens."
"Senior, may I ask if with this token one can pass the ninth level and acquire the qualification for the Myriad Beasts Sect's legacy trial?"
Zhu Yan inquired.
"Little one, the Myriad Beasts Token can certainly count as your passage through the ninth level. Unfortunately, since that person, numerous Cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Sect have obtained the qualification for the Myriad Beasts Sect's legacy trial, but they all failed.
Are you sure you want to forgo the final reward and still choose the legacy trial qualification?"
The white-haired woman beckoned, and the two Myriad Beasts Tokens flew into her palm.
"I am sure!"
Zhu Yan said firmly.
She had traveled countless miles from the Southeast Region to the Eastern Region, primarily for this purpose.
"And you?"
The white-haired woman turned to Yu Qingtan.
"I also choose the legacy trial qualification."
Although she wasn't clear on the specifics, it was obvious that this qualification was extremely precious, and passing it meant acquiring the status of the Myriad Beasts Sect's legacy.
Even if the probability of passing seemed extremely low, she had to try.
"You have passed the nine-level trial of Thousand Beasts Mountain and earned the right to know my name; I am Bai Chen.
If you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage before you turn thirty, crush this Bai Chen Order, and you will be able to enter the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm to participate in the legacy trial."
The white-haired woman, Bai Chen, took out two white jade tokens and tossed one to each, Zhu Yan and Yu Qingtan.
On one side of the token was the character "Bai," and on the other side was the character "Chen."
Much more identifiable than the Myriad Beasts Token.
"Qing Shuang, that's a good name you've taken; I have high hopes for you!"
Bai Chen looked at Yu Qingtan again and uttered this cryptic remark.
After speaking, she waved her sleeve lightly, and both of their figures disappeared.

...
Thousands of miles away from Qingyuan Marsh on a certain mountain peak, Yu Qingtan appeared abruptly in the low sky.
She quickly deployed the Breath-Concealing Technique, landed, and then used the Earth Escape Skill to hide underground.
A realization flashed through her mind: that Teleportation Talisman was not just for teleporting, it also came with a heavenly contract forbidding the disclosure of any information about Thousand Beasts Mountain.
If violated, one would not only suffer retribution from the heavenly way but would also be entangled in massive karma.
With a few days left before the next month's end of emergence from the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, Yu Qingtan rested briefly before heading towards the direction of Yunhua Mountain Range.
...
In a certain cave, Zhu Yan was sitting in meditation on a cushion.
Soon after, two green-robed elders arrived there.
"Young Sect Master, you have emerged from the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm; how went your trip?"
"It went fairly smoothly. Uncle Ma, come back to the sect with me; Uncle Niu, stay here and find a young female Cultivator named Qing Shuang, and eliminate her."
"Yes, Young Sect Master!"
Then, Zhu Yan relayed all she knew about Yu Qingtan to the two men.
