55.The Blood of the Heavenly Dao: The Kun Beast!

Just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, the female cultivators who had been in a sickly and weak state in the secret realm suddenly seemed to regain their spirits! Stepping on their flying swords, they tacitly headed towards the lower part of the flying boat with an unwavering momentum. One after another, they plunged into the Sunken Spirit Sea. After a while, the female cultivators returned to the flying boat with steam and salt grains all over their bodies. The male cultivators traveling with them naturally understood what had happened. They had been scared so much that they peed their pants because of the monster... There was nothing to talk about.

The sect masters on the boat were all confused. Immediately, someone stepped forward to ask. Sun Yuanzheng anxiously searched for the Fifth Forging Peak with his eyes. When he saw the Fifth Forging Peak get down from Lu Xiangjun's back, he felt something was a bit strange, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart. Anyway, as long as the Fifth Forging Peak was okay, other problems could be easily solved. Sun Yuanzheng immediately stepped forward, pulled the Fifth Forging Peak to his side, stuffed a few top-quality recovery pills into his hand, and asked in a low voice.

Ye Qingbi also walked forward and went straight to Qi Lingshuang. She frowned and said, "Lingshuang, are your injuries not too serious? Where is Xu Shan?"

Qi Lingshuang shook her head and said in a solemn voice, "Xu Shan might be dead..... The secret realm is about to collapse. A strange demonic beast appeared inside... It simply couldn't be resisted. Judging from its aura, I'm afraid even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be its match."

A huge demonic beast made of flesh and blood? Almost at the same time, the disciples of each sect reported the situation in the secret realm to their respective sect masters. The group of sect masters looked at each other in surprise. It was made entirely of flesh and blood, had a huge body, and could affect people's minds.... Most importantly, its cry had a great impact on female creatures! Such a demonic beast was something they had never even heard of.

Sun Yuanzheng flew outside the boat and carefully examined the entrance of the secret realm below. The space was faintly shaking. His heart sank to the bottom immediately. The inheritance was still on Xu Shan. Whether he was dead or not wasn't important, but if the secret realm collapsed, the inheritance would be lost. The cooperation between the Purple Heaven Sword Sect and the Fifth Family would completely fall apart!

Now, even if they rushed in to save it, there was nothing they could do. Entering this small secret realm would cause instability even for a Golden Core stage cultivator. How could there be a monster beyond the Nascent Soul stage sleeping inside out of nowhere? This was simply incomprehensible!

The sect masters on the boat exchanged information and kept asking each other if they knew about the demonic beast in the secret realm. Ye Qingbi listened for a while and then said hesitantly, "This demonic beast... sounds like the Blood of the Heavenly Dao."

The Blood of the Heavenly Dao? The sect masters turned their attention to this. Sun Yuanzheng's eyelids even twitched, and he flew from outside the boat to Ye Qingbi's side.

"Yes, the Blood of the Heavenly Dao. The only description that matches this kind of demonic beast is it. But I've never heard that it can specifically affect females...."

"Two sect masters, what exactly is the Blood of the Heavenly Dao? I've never heard of such a demonic beast before. The Heavenly Dao represents all things in the universe. How can it bleed?" Li Shanwu, the sect master of the Absolute Formation Sect, frowned and asked.

Sun Yuanzheng smiled bitterly, "I once read in some records in the Taigu Pavilion in the Heavenly Heart Domain that the Blood of the Heavenly Dao was what the ancient cultivators called it. You all know that ancient cultivators always liked to exaggerate. This is just something to scare people.

"The Taigu Pavilion has already revised the records. The Blood of the Heavenly Dao has various forms, but they are all made of flesh and blood and have no intelligence. Generally, they are divided into two types. One is responsible for destruction and only attacks from the sky. It's called the Qian Beast. The other wanders on the ground and mainly spreads chaos. It's called the Kun Beast.

"The one in the secret realm should be the Kun Beast."

"However, the Blood of the Heavenly Dao has already been exterminated by the ancient cultivators. Except in the Taigu Pavilion, there shouldn't be many records left in other places. How did you know about it, Sect Master Ye?" Sun Yuanzheng said and looked at Ye Qingbi.

Ye Qingbi had a calm expression, "I heard about it from an old friend."

Sun Yuanzheng nodded and didn't think too much about it. Although this kind of information was not widely known, it wasn't really important either. It was normal for it to be spread. It didn't matter where she heard it. The most urgent thing now was to count the results of the grand competition. Since the secret realm was collapsing, there probably wouldn't be any other cultivators appearing. Xu Shan had taken most of everyone's supplies. Now, only the Fifth Forging Peak had a large amount of resources on him. He was definitely going to be the first place in the grand competition. First, get the results of the competition settled! As for the matter with the Fifth Family... they could only find another opportunity to discuss it later. It was just a pity that the inheritance of the ancestors was lost so inexplicably!

Sun Yuanzheng adjusted his mood and said loudly, "Everyone, the secret realm has started to collapse. Even if there is a demonic beast inside, it should not be able to escape. Although it's not the last day of the grand competition yet, all the cultivators who can come out are already here. How about we count the results first?"

"Okay..." There were some sparse responses. Obviously, the sect masters present were not very interested. This grand competition had been messed up by Xu Shan, and he had even died inside. What was there to compare now?

Before the Tongguang Xuanzhao Great Formation failed, the only sect that hadn't been robbed by Xu Shan was the Purple Heaven Sword Sect. Among the others, there were some disciples who had fled from the secret realm in advance and hadn't met Xu Shan. They didn't have many supplies themselves. Among those who were with Xu Shan, some had secretly hidden a little behind his back, but it was almost negligible. The gap between everyone was quite small!

The one with the most pitiful expression was the sect master of the Tiantao Sect. He was the only one whose sect had been completely wiped out by Xu Shan. All twenty of his disciples were not spared! In the past, their Tiantao Sect had always been in the top five rankings. The only suspense this time might be whether they would be the last or the second last. It was impossible to have the grand competition again. Others definitely wouldn't agree...

On the flying boat, the elders of the Purple Heaven Sword Sect had already set up a long table to wait for the inspection of the supplies. Seeing that no one objected, they immediately waved to the disciples of many sects.

... The people of the Star Misty Peak Sect gathered together, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Ye Qingbi asked, "Is Xu Shan really dead? None of you saw him?"

Qi Lingshuang shook her head, "There's no way he could have survived. Even I would definitely die in that situation."

"When we left, we couldn't see Xu Shan's figure anymore. He might have been eaten already." Everyone started talking one after another.

Lu Xiangjun wanted to say something but held back. In the end, he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything. When Xu Shan talked to him, he was very confident, and Lu Xiangjun didn't feel that the other party was joking at all. During the trip to the secret realm, he had already seen Xu Shan's abilities. Although his cultivation level was low, he was definitely not someone who talked nonsense, and he was very cautious. He must have a way... It was useless to say more now. Others would just worry more if they heard it.

While everyone was still discussing Xu Shan's life and death with a worried expression, Lu Xiangjun turned around to find the Fifth Forging Peak. He had to get the spirit stones first. He and his junior brother had risked a great deal to save this bastard. They couldn't have saved him for nothing!

The Fifth Forging Peak was standing by the side of the boat at the moment, looking at the shaking entrance of the secret realm below with a tightly furrowed brow. The inheritance of the Immortal Seeking Platform... Something that the family was determined to obtain. Who would have thought it would end up like this..

Lu Xiangjun walked up to him and stretched out his hand, "Give me the spirit stones."

The Fifth Forging Peak glanced at him, "What spirit stones?"

"Two hundred middle-grade spirit stones. You promised me.".....
