"The Beastscale Incense does have the effect of knocking out spirit beasts, but to knock out the Myriad Anthive Queen... it's impossible!"
Seeing this sight, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The Beastscale Incense had a unique hallucinatory effect. Ordinary spirit beasts, even Transcendent Mortal 7-dan pinnacle ones, would find it hard to escape from its trance. However, the Myriad Anthive Queen was different.
Given that it could split its consciousness to control thousands of Myriad Ants, how powerful was its soul?
How could it be that easy to knock out the Myriad Anthive Queen?
If the Myriad Anthive Queen were to come out, it would be troublesome.
"I have to get my hands on the Myriad Anthive Nest. If they find out that this is where the Myriad Anthive Queen is, it won't be easy for me to get my hands on it..."
Zhang Xuan didn't mind the safety of the duo. After all, since the Myriad Anthive Queen was able to take out something as valuable as the Beastscale Incense, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't have something even more formidable in her possession.
What he was thinking about at the moment was how he couldn't let the other party know what was inside the Myriad Anthive Nest!
The Anthive Queen was incredibly rare, and it was hard to find a second one even in the entire Hongyuan Empire. It was already a stroke of luck for him to encounter one. If it were to fall into the other party's hands, it would be impossible for him to obtain it again!
No one would be willing to sell a spatial artifact that could store life.
"Should I knock them out?"
Zhang Xuan stroked his lower jaw.
If he wanted to obtain the Myriad Anthive Nest, the best way was to barge in. Given that the duo was blocking the entrance, he would have to knock them out first.
"Forget it. Since this is an examination, Elder Mi might be aware of it. If I were to be accused of robbery and fail the examination, it would be a huge loss for me..."
As soon as this thought appeared in Zhang Xuan's mind, he shook his head.
The ability of a Saint was something that he couldn't comprehend. Since Zhang Xuan had emphasized on not robbing the Myriad Anthive Nest, it would be troublesome if he were to knock them out and take the spirit beast away.
"Clone!"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan's clone appeared before him.
Communicating his thoughts to the other party, Zhang Xuan executed the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps and flew toward the cavern under the cover of the dense vegetation.
No matter how well one maintained one's movement technique, one would still make a sound upon contact with the ground or leaves. However, there was no such concern when one was flying.
As long as one didn't want to be noticed, even a Perfect Harmonization realm expert wouldn't be able to notice him.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at a spot just several dozen meters away from the cavern, and he hid himself.
…
"So much of the Beastscale Incense's smoke has entered. It should be able to knock out that spirit beast. Should we go in and take a look?"
Senior Feng was relieved to hear Brother Yu's confirmation. His face flushed with excitement at the thought of obtaining the inner core of a Consolidation realm spirit beast.
Previously, Elder Mi had said that a Clarifying Turbidity realm pinnacle inner core would be worth one point, a Consonant Spirit realm primary stage would be worth ten points, intermediate stage would be worth twenty points, advanced stage would be worth thirty points, and pinnacle would be worth forty points! A Cosmos Bridge realm primary stage spirit beast was worth 100 points, a Cosmos Bridge realm intermediate stage spirit beast was worth 200 points, and so on and so forth. A Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast inner core was worth 1,000 points!
Obtaining so many points was equivalent to killing ten Cosmos Bridge realm primary stage spirit beasts. Even though most of the students possessed unparalleled talent, it was still sufficient for them to obtain a good placing.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Spirit beasts at the Consolidation Realm have a stronger soul. It's best to wait a little longer and not be careless!"
Brother Yu was also very excited, but he restrained himself a bit better than the other party.
Although he was very confident in the Beastscale Incense, it was still a Consolidation Realm spirit beast. It was better to be safe than sorry.
"Alright!"
Senior Feng nodded, and his eyes glowed in excitement. "As long as we can kill this spirit beast, Brother Yu's points will be close to two thousand. Even if that Zhang Xuan is able to borrow a half 9-dan spirit beast once, he won't be able to get that many points!"
Just thinking about Zhang Xuan left him feeling stifled.
After being defeated by the other party with a single finger and humiliated repeatedly, his confidence had been shattered. If Brother Yu could defeat the other party this time, it would be a huge boost to his confidence.
"No matter how powerful the tamed beast is, we have to find the spirit beast first! If we can't even find the spirit beast, how are we supposed to earn points? "
Brother Yu sneered coldly as confidence gleamed in his eyes.
So what if it was a half 9-dan tamed beast?
At the very most, he would only be able to find a Cosmos Bridge realm spirit beast. Would he be able to find a Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast?
If he couldn't find one, it would be impossible for him to earn more points than him!
"Indeed …" Senior Feng nodded. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the sound of wind suddenly sounded outside the valley.
"Someone is here!"
Brother Yu's face darkened.
Senior Feng also hurriedly turned his gaze over.
It wasn't easy for them to find such a formidable spirit beast, and they didn't want others to lay their hands on it.
"It's the trail left behind by a Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was preparing himself, the howling of the wind outside suddenly stopped, and a deep voice sounded in his ears.
"Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast?"
Hearing the voice, the eyebrows of the duo twitched.
They had just said that they had found a spirit beast, and someone had already noticed it. Could it be that the other party was here to snatch it from them?
Hu hu!
Just as they were perplexed, the sound of the wind grew further and further away. It seemed like the master teacher had gone off to chase after the Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast.
"Look after the Beastscale Incense, I'll head over to take a look!"
Clenching his fists tightly, Brother Yu could no longer hold himself back. After saying a few words, he took a step forward and rushed out of the valley.
Could there be another Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast somewhere else? That person was chasing after the other party? Surely it couldn't be such a coincidence!
Walking out of the valley, Brother Yu saw a figure dashing up the mountain. However, it was already too far away for him to see clearly!
As for the traces of the spirit beast, Brother Yu was unable to find anything at all.
"This is a good chance …"
Seeing that Brother Yu had arrived at the entrance of the valley, Senior Feng also turned his attention to the area outside the valley. On the other hand, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly, and 'hu!', he dived straight into the cavern.
Naturally, the person who had spoken earlier was his clone.
His goal was to attract the other party's attention so that he could find a way to enter the cavern.
As for why he didn't use his own voice, he could at least avoid the other party realizing that he had fallen for his trap.
Hu!
Ignoring his clone, Brother Yu, and Senior Feng, Zhang Xuan entered the cavern and immediately activated his Eye of Insight to scan his surroundings.
The cavern was dark and cold, and it was hard to tell how deep it was. There was a layer of Myriad Ants lying on the ground. It seemed like they had fainted from the Beastscale Incense.
The Beastscale Incense was capable of fainting even Transcendent Mortal 6-dan spirit beasts, so it was natural that some savage beasts wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Zhang Xuan slowly flew into the cavern, and a moment later, his eyes lit up.
Not too far away, there was a football-sized beehive hanging on the cliff wall. It felt as though it was forged from jade, and with a single look, it was clear that it was no ordinary object.
Beside the beehive was a snow-white spirit beast. It was around the size of a human, and it was chubby. From afar, it looked no different from a snowman.
"This is the Myriad Anthive Queen?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had read about this lifeform in books, but he had never seen one before. He thought that it would be similar to the Myriad Anthive Queen, with its many claws and ferocious appearance. Who could have thought that it would actually look like this?
Hu hu hu!
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan lost control of his zhenqi, and a sliver of it leaked out. The snow-white Myriad Anthive Queen seemed to have noticed something, and it immediately turned its gaze over.
Sou!
In the next instant, it was right before Zhang Xuan, and its claws slashed down on him.
As expected of a Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast, its offensive prowess was truly astounding. Even before its claws could reach Zhang Xuan, one could already feel an intense pressure pressing down on him, as if threatening to tear the air apart.
In the Perfect Harmonization realm, one's strength would be purer, more compatible with nature, and one's soul would be stronger as well.
This claw might seem simple, but it was infused with one's spirit, energy, and spirit, making it nigh nigh impossible to withstand.
"Humph!"
Knowing that it was impossible for him to hide anymore, Zhang Xuan stretched his body, and in midair, he threw a punch at the Myriad Anthive Queen.
Driving his Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle cultivation furiously, along with the strength of his physical body and soul, he was on par with a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan cultivator.
Kacha!
Before the Myriad Anthive Queen could even react, its snow-white body was already sent flying. It crashed into the wall, creating a huge depression.
In a clash of pure strength, it was simply too weak.
If not for the unique constitution of spirit beasts, it would have died on the spot.
Weng!
After being sent flying with a single punch, the Myriad Anthive Queen seemed to have realized how powerful the person before it was. With a jolt of its body, it leaped out of the wall and headed straight for the beehive. Knowing that the person before it was dangerous, it wanted to snatch the beehive and escape.
"Trying to escape?"
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to get his hands on the Myriad Anthive Nest once it was snatched away, Zhang Xuan executed the Heaven's Path Movement Art. Hu! In an instant, he appeared before the Myriad Anthive Nest and raised his palm to block the other party's path.
Driving his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan sealed the surrounding air.
With his cultivation reaching Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle, it would be difficult for even a Perfect Harmonization realm expert to break through his barrier.
Weng weng!
Seeing that the human was preventing it from snatching the beehive, the Myriad Anthive Queen panicked. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth.
"I mustn't fight with it …"
Zhang Xuan knew that he would be in deep trouble if he were to continue fighting with that fellow, especially with the Myriad Anthive Bees around him. If they were to awaken, no matter how high his cultivation was, it would be difficult for him to deal with them. Thus, he drove his zhenqi and sent a palm strike toward the Myriad Anthive Bees.
Peng!
Suffering a heavy blow, the Myriad Anthive Queen crashed into the wall once more, spurting large mouthfuls of blood.
This time, Zhang Xuan had used too much strength. Even as a spirit beast, the Myriad Anthive Queen was still severely injured.
"Submit to me and become my tamed beast, and I can help you raise your cultivation and recover from your injuries. Otherwise … die!"
After severely injuring the Myriad Anthive Queen in a single move, Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and began speaking in the Ancient Beast Language.
After which, a surge of pure Heaven's Path zhenqi gushed forth from his body. It felt as if the pores of one's body had been opened up.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
Sensing the purity of the surge of zhenqi and the injuries it had sustained, the Myriad Anthive Queen knew that if it hesitated any longer, the other party would surely kill it. Thus, after a moment of hesitation, it continued speaking.
"Un, let's make a contract!"
Knowing that the Myriad Anthive Queen was willing to submit to him, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
With his Heaven's Path zhenqi and the Ancient Beast Language, taming spirit beasts had become much easier than before.
"This …"
Not too long later, the contract was completed. Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Zhang Xuan raised his head to look at the beehive before him with a bizarre expression.
