In the Sword Spirit World, beasts were divided into nine ranks. Rank 1 to 3 were low-level beasts. The combat strength of these beasts was equivalent to ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators. Rank 4 and 5 beasts were equivalent to Qi Refinement cultivators and were very difficult to deal with. Rank 6 to 7 beasts were equivalent to Void Refinement cultivators. These beasts were much stronger than Void Refinement cultivators. As for rank 8 to 9 beasts, they were generally equivalent to Void Refinement and Dao Fusion cultivators. They were the peak existences in the Sword Spirit World.
On the other hand, low-level beasts didn't have a lifespan as long as humans. Some of them could only live up to ten years, while some could even live up to ten years. However, high-level beasts had a much longer lifespan compared to humans. For example, beasts above 5th rank would have a lifespan of several thousand years. Coupled with their incomparably strong bodies, the strength of these beasts was absolutely terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of amazing talents among humans, then humans wouldn't have been able to survive in the Sword Spirit World and would have already been eaten by the beasts.
Large sects like the Iron Buddha Temple would send their disciples out to hunt beasts. However, the places they sent their disciples to were relatively safe. It was impossible for them to send their disciples to dangerous places. Even more so, they wouldn't send their disciples to places with high level beasts. This way, they could better protect the safety of the sect's disciples.
The roar that came from the mountain carried a strong pressure. Zhao Hai and the others felt that it was at least a rank 6 beast. A rank 6 beast was equivalent to a Void Refinement cultivator. It was two ranks higher than Zhao Hai and the others. If they were to encounter such a beast, then it would be a matter of life and death.
Because of this, Na Zhen and the others' expression changed upon hearing the beast's roar. They all stopped. Na Zhen's expression turned ugly as he said, "Such a strong pressure, this beast should be at least a rank 6 beast. But what's the meaning of this roar? Is it a warning or something else? "
Zhao Hai looked at the mountain and said, "No matter what the reason is, I think we should leave as soon as possible. Senior Brother, let's go. We can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, it might be very dangerous." Zhao Hai nodded.
Na Zhen nodded, then he said, "There must be good things on the mountain. However, we need to be alive to use them. If we really go up the mountain, I'm afraid that even if we can obtain good things, we won't be able to use them. I think we should leave. What do you think?" Na Zhen nodded, then he said, "Alright, let's go. What do you think?"
The monks looked at each other, their eyes were filled with unwillingness. But in the end, they nodded. They were smart people, they knew that Zhao Hai and Na Zhen were right. If they really go up the mountain, then they might not be able to come back down alive.
Na Zhen saw that the group didn't go up the mountain and relaxed. He was really afraid that they would go up the mountain. If that was the case, then he would have to separate from them. In any case, regardless of whether they went up the mountain or not, he wouldn't go up. At the same time, Zhao Hai also wouldn't go up. One must know that he was the first one to suggest this. Therefore, he was confident that Zhao Hai wouldn't go up. However, if the others went up the mountain, then only the two of them would be left. If they encounter the Nightwalker Sect, then they would be in danger.
Zhao Hai looked at the mountain and said, "This mountain is strange. I think we should leave quickly. If the beast roared because it discovered us, then we should leave quickly."
The other monks looked at Zhao Hai with contempt in their eyes. When they heard Zhao Hai, they felt that Zhao Hai was too afraid of death. One must know that they were Cultivators, Zhao Hai's behavior would be seen as cowardly.
Zhao Hai didn't seem to feel their gazes as he looked at the mountain. His eyes flashed, nobody knew what he was thinking. Na Zhen also looked at Zhao Hai, then he looked at the mountain and said, "Alright, let's go. There's no meaning in staying here. It's better to leave." Na Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, let's go. The others nodded. Then, they looked at the top of the mountain unwillingly and slowly retreated.
They had only walked for about ten minutes when they heard a loud beast roar coming from the top of the mountain. This beast roar seemed to be closer to them.
Hearing that the sound was getting closer, the group's expression couldn't help but change. Na Zhen turned his head to look at the mountain before he said, "Let's go, that thing seems to be coming down." After he said that, his figure moved and went straight ahead. The others quickly followed.
"Let's go up the mountain. We can't see the mountain from there. I think the mountain should be sealed by some kind of power, so we can't see it from the outside. As long as we break through the seal, we should be safe." Zhao Hai turned to Na Zhen and the others as he ran forward.
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, we'll listen to you. Let's go to the mountain we came from." Everyone sped up. At this time, another roar came from the mountain. The sound was even closer to them. At this time, they didn't need to hear the sound to feel the pressure behind them.
Everyone's expression turned ugly. They rushed forward, wanting to reach the mountain as soon as possible. Fortunately, they just came from the mountain. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to go back.
Just when they were two kilometers away from the top of the mountain, they suddenly heard a loud roar coming from behind them. The sound seemed to have come from behind them. Along with the roar, a huge pressure pressed down on their bodies, making them unable to move. Although they were still running forward, their movements were stiff. Their speed was slower than a normal person's.
Zhao Hai also felt it. His movements were also stiff. However, he didn't think that it was because of the pressure. It was because they were affected by the beast's innate technique.
Demon beasts had innate techniques. The stronger a demon beast was, the more innate techniques it had. This time, it was clear that Zhao Hai was affected by a technique that could affect people's movements through sound. This technique wasn't something that didn't exist among cultivators. However, it was a relatively obscure technique. Zhao Hai didn't expect a demon beast to be able to use it.
Zhao Hai knew that if he didn't break this technique, they wouldn't be able to escape. However, if he wanted to break this technique, ordinary methods wouldn't work. Zhao Hai looked at the others and finally had an idea. With an intention, several talismans appeared in front of him. Then with another thought, the talismans immediately flew out. However, the target of the talismans wasn't the demon beast that was chasing them. Instead, it was the talismans that stopped in front of him.
Then the talismans exploded. These talismans were the most simple fireball talismans. Their attack power wasn't very strong. However, when the talismans exploded, it seemed to have broken the shackles on their bodies. This allowed them to move freely. Although the explosion of the talismans was equivalent to attacking them, they were all Body Cultivators. The explosion of the talismans had almost no lethality to them.
After the group recovered their speed, they didn't say anything and directly rushed towards the mountain. Two li was very close to them. In just a blink of an eye, they had already reached the top of the mountain.
When they reached the top of the hill, they felt their bodies become lighter as the pressure of the beast disappeared. However, they didn't stop and continued to run forward. Na Zhen glanced back but found nothing behind them. From afar, it looked like an ordinary rolling hill. The huge expert that they saw before had disappeared. The beast that they didn't see but fought against had also disappeared.
"Stop, everyone stop." Na Zhen said as he stopped. Then he turned his head and looked back. The others also stopped and looked back. Looking at the rolling hills and the disappearing mountain, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.
"Phew! We finally ran out. I didn't expect that there would be such a strange seal here. Fortunately, we ran fast. " Zhao Hai looked at the rolling hills and murmured. It was obviously fake but it looked real.
The others nodded and then turned their head to look at Zhao Hai. It can be said that this time, if Zhao Hai didn't react quickly and immediately went back, they wouldn't have been able to come back. If Zhao Hai didn't use the fireball talisman to attack them and break their technique, they wouldn't have been able to come out. All of this was thanks to Zhao Hai. Thinking about the disdain they had for Zhao Hai, they felt embarrassed.
"Amitabha, no wonder Senior Brother Na Yu said that you're sharp. I heard that Senior Brother Na Yu's plan to attack the Heavenly Demon Sect was also your idea. Junior Brother Jin Hai, you're really sharp. If it wasn't for you, then we wouldn't have been able to come out today."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't say that. I'm just a little timid. We cultivators have to fight against the Heavens, and we have to rely on our opportunities. But if this opportunity is so strong that we can't exchange our lives for it, then I won't exchange my life for it. Only with my life can I continue to cultivate. If I don't have my life, then everything will be gone."
Na Zhen nodded and said, "Junior Brother Jin Hai is right. We really underestimated this Secret Realm before. Maybe it's because we didn't encounter any strong beasts. It seems like we need to reflect on this. Let's go back to the mountain first. We'll build a cave residence there and rest for the night. Tomorrow, we'll leave this place."
Everyone nodded. Of course, they wouldn't rebel. Soon after, they arrived at the small hill in front of them. There, they built a simple cave residence and rested for the night.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they took another look at the illusion seal in front of them before leaving.
