Beast Tamer: After My Pet Space Mutated, I Became OP
Chapter 1437: A Place Suitable for Summoning
Nine Revolutions Heavenly Secret Fluid is not a common product that anyone can refine.
As a high-end product with no prior precedent, even with Guangguang's assistance and explanation of the refining process, Emerald Green still took more than half a month to succeed.
During this period, Mingxi returned to Wanling Beast University to continue her role as a combat instructor.
The current Mingxi was like a king returning.
More students wanted to attend her classes than the total population of Wanling.
So the school directly adopted a lottery system: appointments were made one day in advance, the appointment channel closed at midnight, and the system then randomly selected 50 people.
These 50 lucky individuals were the students who could attend her combat class the next day.
So, recently, every midnight, various dormitories would echo with sounds of either piercing screams, ghostly wails, or gongs and drums.
It was so lively it didn't resemble a proper university.
Like this moment!
"I didn't get picked again! Ancestors! I have treated you well, why are you so useless! Give me back my thousand crystal offerings!"
This was a student who hadn't been selected for class, blaming their ancestors and turning against them.
"Ah ah ah! Wuwuwu! Aooaoao! Why are there so many opportunities, yet not one for me? Why, why is this happening? Heavens! Earth! Please look at me!"
This was someone crying out to the heavens and earth.
"Tomorrow I'll get picked, tomorrow I won't get picked, tomorrow I'll get picked, tomorrow I won't get picked... Tomorrow I won't get picked! Damn it! This flower is double-petaled, how can it be double-petaled? Is it sick? Start over!"
This was someone divining with a flower.
Human diversity was on full display in every corner of the small dormitory building.
Of course, there were also 50 lucky individuals quietly celebrating their good fortune under their blankets.
Mainly, they dared not laugh out loud. A few days ago, a lucky person in their dormitory boasted about getting a spot in Ming Shen's combat class.
The next day, that person attended class with a bruised and swollen face, carrying healing potions.
But that person even received treatment from Little Silver Flower because of it!
And guess what happened next?
That old scoundrel, after class, went to his class group chat and posted a ten-thousand-word exclamation about being healed by Holy Radiance Prayer!
What? The result?
There was no result.
That person hadn't appeared in public for several days.
So now, almost no one dared to reveal that they had secured a spot in Ming Shen's combat class; it drew too much animosity.
They could only silently enjoy their happiness, biting their little blankets.
Mingxi spent a leisurely time on campus like this until Emerald Green finished her seclusion.
"Is this the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Secret Fluid?"
Mingxi held the special glass bottle, gently shaking it against the light. The liquid inside shimmered with faint, sparkling ripples.
"It looks no different from plain boiled water."
A transparent liquid, utterly unremarkable.
Guangguang snorted, a 'you know nothing' expression on its bear face: "It is said that the Great Dao is simple, and heavenly treasures are self-effacing. Isn't it natural for a great medicine to appear unremarkable?"
Mingxi was too lazy to argue with it.
After all, she wasn't a chatterbox.
She was considering where to perform the summoning of the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python.
The dangers of the Starsea Cup were vivid in her memory: the mysterious and unpredictable methods of the Descent Saint Lord, and those rebellious Beast Tamers. The 'role' she played in their plan made Mingxi extremely wary.
Summoning the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python would certainly not be a small event.
During this sensitive period, when it was widely known that she had completed her ninth awakening, even if Dragonflower Country was a solid block, there was no guarantee that the Descent did not have other means to infiltrate their people.
It wouldn't matter if she couldn't contract the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python, but if she actually succeeded... "This must be done in secret."
Mingxi stroked Lan Yue's warm, soft fur, her gaze deep. "I need to find a sufficiently hidden place, where even if a major disturbance occurs, it won't attract anyone's attention."
Such a place was not hard to find.
Many Secret Realms met her requirements.
"Guangguang, help me search the Alliance Beast Taming Center headquarters' intelligence database for any suitable Secret Realms for me to summon the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python."
"Alright."
In fact, even without the title of Special Investigator, Mingxi could have Guangguang hack into the headquarters' intelligence database. However, Guangguang was an auxiliary of the Time Realm, and all its abilities belonged to the Time Realm's basic functions.
In other words, using some trivial minor functions was fine, but once it involved transcended abilities, it would consume reward time.
And the Alliance Beast Taming Center headquarters' intelligence database was equipped with the world's most powerful supercomputer, and also guarded by a mysterious Transcendent creature.
Even if Guangguang wanted to successfully infiltrate, it would need to rely on the Time Realm, consuming tens of thousands of reward hours.
So it wasn't that Mingxi was reluctant to spend reward time, but rather that acquiring power was more cost-effective.
"Master, I found something very interesting in the intelligence database.
To avoid being recorded by Soul Extinction and having your movements discovered by those with ulterior motives, I won't extract it. I'll tell you about it."
Soul Extinction was the name of the intelligence database's supercomputer.
And Guangguang's caution was deeply appreciated by Mingxi.
"Tell me."
"This matter is related to the Abyss Secret Realm, which is Planet Blue Secret Realm Number 9. The situation is like this..."
Through Guangguang's narration, Mingxi understood why it said this matter was very interesting.
A month ago, a massive Secret Realm rift suddenly appeared over a certain sea area. Fishermen who happened to be fishing in that area, along with their entire fishing boat, were sucked into the rift.
And the place they entered was the Abyss Secret Realm.
Only one of these fishermen miraculously escaped.
According to him, after they were sucked into the Secret Realm, they, along with their boat, landed directly in a sea area. That ocean was very strange.
Within this sea area, the fishing boat that was dragged into the Secret Realm with them not only couldn't start, but its hull also showed signs of decay.
Not long after, their boat sank.
Almost all of these crew members were Beast Tamers, and two or three of them carried spatial tools.
They quickly took out rubber dinghies, assault boats, and other vessels to use as backups.
However, shortly after they boarded, both the rubber dinghies and assault boats, without exception, sank within a very short time.
Only then did they confirm that ordinary boats, especially machine-powered vessels, could not be used in this sea and would be destroyed instantly.
Although these people could all swim, prolonged exposure to seawater would eventually lead to hypothermia and take their lives.
Moreover, this sea area was not calm. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
It was home to a large number of dangerous, aggressive wild Transcendent creatures.
As time passed, these crew members died one after another.
Death was inevitable.
Finally, only the strongest captain survived and left that sea area.
"Master, don't you find the description of this sea area somewhat familiar?"
Guangguang asked mischievously.
"Endless Sea Secret Realm."
"Exactly, it's the Endless Sea. This Abyss Sea area is very similar to the Endless Sea you previously entered. Furthermore, according to the captain's account, they also encountered thunderstorms while adrift at sea, and his brain domain development also improved after he returned."
Endless Sea, endless rain.
And the effect of the endless rain, which is jade milk liquid, is to increase the Beast Tamers' brain domain development.
"The sea area of the Abyss Secret Realm, there wasn't such a situation before, was there?
And that Secret Realm rift is also very strange; it actually sucked people and boats in together, which is also something that has never happened before."
Mingxi fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that the Abyss Secret Realm and the Endless Sea Mystic Ground have merged? But one's spatial coordinates have always been on Planet Blue, while the other is a solidified Mystic Ground on Green Field Star. For the two to spatially converge... how much mutual effort would it take to form such a connection?"
Mingxi found this matter incredibly absurd.
However, considering the various mystical aspects of the Abyss Secret Realm and the Endless Sea, if the two were indeed connected, it wouldn't be completely outlandish.
"Did any investigators go to investigate this matter?"
Mingxi treated Guangguang as a small customer service agent.
Guangguang was already prepared and quickly replied: "How could it be that simple?
The spatial rifts of the Abyss Secret Realm appear irregularly, and this only happened a month ago. Even if the Alliance wanted to send people in to investigate thoroughly, they can't enter for now.
However, the relevant investigation task is indeed listed on your investigators' task list, requiring Advanced Level investigators and above to accept it."
Alliance investigators, in essence, are similar to Beastmaster Association members. They can accept various tasks according to their own needs, but these tasks are basically investigative in nature and involve the six major stars. Their authority and responsibilities are not something the Beastmaster Association can compare to.
Investigators who complete tasks can earn investigation points. Points can be used to raise their investigation level or to exchange for rare heavenly treasures only available at the headquarters.
Mingxi had also taken an investigation task two days ago, investigating an abnormal phenomenon in a Dragonflower Country breeding center where the hatching rate of Ribbon Shrimp pet beast eggs was 12.5% lower than the normal value, to ensure there were no artificial or unnatural factors involved.
"You have the mirror of creation and destruction of the Abyss Secret Realm in your hand, aren't you the best candidate to accept this task? Moreover, the Abyss Secret Realm can be considered your territory, and it's also very suitable for you to summon the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python there."
Guangguang's suggestion coincided with Mingxi's thoughts.
"Abyss Secret Realm..." Mingxi murmured, her gaze becoming firm and sharp. "That place is indeed the most suitable."
Besides, she was also very interested in that sea area, which seemed to be the Endless Sea.
If it really was the Endless Sea, that meant she could replenish some jade milk liquid.
As her brain domain development broke through 90%, further improvement would be a hundred, or even a thousand times more difficult than before.
Therefore, heavenly treasures like jade milk liquid, which can directly increase brain domain development, became even more precious.
Relying on external objects might not be ideal, but time was limited; relying on them if possible was not shameful!
And the last fragment of shen guan... Mingxi no longer hesitated and began to prepare for her journey.
First, prepare travel supplies.
If the sea in the Abyss Secret Realm was indeed related to the Endless Sea, then the rhinocerous wood boat would be one of the most important tools for this trip.
Additionally, there were materials for Black Pearl to evolve to the next stage.
During the Starsea Cup competition, although Black Pearl was not a main combatant, it was not left behind in intensive training.
On the contrary, because it was the lowest-level among its companions, it was actually the one that underwent the most 'forced growth'.
It wasn't expected to wreak havoc in the competition, but if Mingxi wanted to successfully break her limits, it would inevitably be linked to the growth of her pet beasts. The stronger they were, the greater Mingxi's chances of success.
Moreover, there was the Nine Gods Temple dangling like a carrot in front of them.
So Black Pearl had to push hard to catch up with its companions, so that there wouldn't be a situation of nine missing one.
Black Pearl, the phrase it understood most deeply now was 'lagging behind means getting beaten'.
It was literally beaten.
Every day, it was chased and fought three rounds by the other seven in turns.
(ʘ ̥ ∧ ʘ ̥)
Although it was tough, Black Pearl's growth was like a storm.
If it weren't for its ambiguous evolution method, it would have already evolved to the Saint-level.
This trip into the Abyss Secret Realm was a good opportunity to make an Impact, but first, a large amount of materials had to be prepared. If one didn't work, try another.
Even if it meant piling up materials, Black Pearl's evolution path had to be forged!
Besides Black Pearl, the materials needed by Little Silver Flower and the others could also be prepared. After all, Golden Yuanbao was already Venerable-level, how much longer could the others endure?
In addition to preparing supplies, there was also the need to maintain secrecy.
Her whereabouts were undoubtedly being watched by many parties; once she left school, many tails would surely follow.
Nor could she suddenly 'disappear'.
So the investigation task could not be accepted for now; it would too easily expose her whereabouts.
She could only... Three days later, everything was ready.
In a hidden secret room, Mingxi took out the mirror of creation and destruction.
She opened the Secret Realm passage.
The mirror surface rippled like water.
Mingxi's figure disappeared into the ripples.
She closed her eyes, then opened them.
Mingxi appeared in a sky covered by dense, dark clouds.
Greeting her was the main act of the Heavenly God Boy Band, the God of Thunder!
"Boom!"
Purple lightning and startling thunder.
And the visual in charge God of Wind.
"Whoosh whoosh––!"
Misty clouds and howling winds.
"Holy crap!"
Mingxi, with her face covered by lightning and hurricane, only managed to let out an expletive before feeling a strong sense of weightlessness.
She was thrown into mid-air again!
And below her, coincidentally, was a vast ocean.
If the area below was indeed the Endless Sea, or a sea area similar to the Endless Sea, then this place would be an air-restricted zone.
So she didn't summon Golden Yuanbao and the others, but instead quickly deployed a wooden boat onto the treacherous sea below her.
"Boom!"
The wooden boat hit the sea, raising waves several meters high.
In the violent wind «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» and waves, an ordinary wooden boat would have definitely capsized.
But that boat floated steadily on the surface, only swaying and rocking with the waves, quickly drifting away from its original position.
Because Mingxi had a deep and clear understanding of her luck, she had already put on her prop wings before stepping onto the mirror of creation and destruction.
When struck by lightning, she had already spread her wings.
Even if this sea area was truly air-restricted, she could still glide using her wings.
Amidst the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, the 'birdman' struggled to glide towards the rhinocerous wood boat, which was drifting further and further away.
Fortunately, her current physical strength was equivalent to that of a Transcendent, so even with the strong winds and waves, she could still control the direction of her winged glide with brute force.
"Bang!"
Before her wings were completely snapped by the wind, Mingxi crashed into the wooden boat in a head-first manner, barely making it.
"Boom!"
"Splash!"
Thunder, rain, wind.
As if provoked, they became even more passionate and surging!
