Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 150 - 148: Golden Light Mirror

"Everyone, give it your all and do not delay," Chen Buqi urgently urged. "Otherwise, attracting too much attention will bring us trouble."

His background was not ordinary; the Chen Family on Taiyi Mountain was akin to the Kong Family of the Beast Taming Sect, with his family’s ancient ancestor being one of the Supreme Elders of Taiyi Mountain. However, the Elder spent most of his days in seclusion within the Golden Light Cave, and with countless generations separating them, naturally, the Elder would not offer him any special care.

Even so, since birth, he enjoyed more resources than ordinary disciples. For this long-planned Sect operation, his father had exerted great effort to secure this opportunity for him.

If he could complete it smoothly, upon returning to the Sect, he would not need to compete for a True Disciple position – one would be waiting for him.

As for Zhuo Feifan?

With a sidelong glance at that fellow, Chen Buqi snorted disdainfully in his heart. That guy might think highly of himself and compete with him at every turn, but be it status, background, or cultivation resources, he could not compare to Chen Buqi.

The only aspect in which Zhuo Feifan could compare to him was a decent talent and the willingness to practice diligently.

But talent and hard work alone were not enough. Otherwise, the Sect would not have given such an important mission to him as the lead.

Chen Buqi watched the Fire Ape, which they were gradually suppressing, and couldn’t help feeling excited.

If the plan went well and he accomplished the task the Sect had planned for many years, then the vast Heavenly Pool Secret Realm would become the second Grotto Heaven of Taiyi Mountain.

By then, having established such great merit, he would surely receive countless benefits.

With this in mind, he redoubled his efforts.

Under his command, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators relentlessly pressed the Fire Ape, which roared thunderously. Its entire body burst into blazing crimson flames, and even the stone armor on its body melted into magma, dripping to the ground.

Hundreds of zhang away, Qin Feng squinted at the battle, a hint of doubt crossing his mind, not understanding what these people were planning. They obviously had an overwhelming advantage and had severely injured the Fire Ape within the Sword Array. Yet, curiously, they did not use any finishing moves. Whenever the Fire Ape seemed to falter, they would ease their attacks.

It seemed that these people had other plans.

Could it be they wanted the Fire Ape to advance to the Demon Core Realm?

But what benefit would there be for them?

This was too strange; they couldn’t possibly be after the Fire Ape’s Demon Core.

Of course, Qin Feng was the first to disbelieve this thought. If these Inner Sect Disciples of Taiyi Mountain really wanted a Demon Core, they could have obtained one outside; there was no need to waste so much effort in the Secret Realm.

So, what then was the purpose of their attack on the Fire Ape?

Qin Feng’s gaze moved past the group of Sword Cultivators and the Demon Beast to a not-so-distant cliff.

That cliff was strange, hundreds of zhang tall, but its face was as smooth as a mirror, as if sliced by a knife. It was so polished that not a blade of grass grew on it. It didn’t look like a cliff at all but more like a flawlessly crafted jade stone.

At the moment, an imposing amount of Spiritual Energy was converging in midair, causing quite a commotion. Anyone within a hundred li could see it.

Since Qin Feng was very close, he arrived relatively early. He could sense others approaching from afar.

However, considering the vastness of nearly ten thousand li in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, and the many Cultivators that entered, their presence was not very noticeable, scattered throughout the vast Secret Realm. Therefore, only a few Cultivators noticed the disturbance here and came over to investigate.

The Sword Cultivators of Taiyi Mountain were obviously aware of this, but they did not care. Cultivators from small and medium Sects would not dare entertain the thought of taking advantage when they saw so many of them gathered.

As for the disciples of the other major Sects who arrived, they did not know what they were doing. If they dared to spoil their plans, the Taiyi Mountain disciples would just kill them.

These many people, plus the treasures bestowed by their elders, were they really to be afraid of other Sect’s Cultivators?

In any case, they were not about to seize the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm immediately. That was not something these Foundation Establishment Disciples could achieve. They just needed to ensure the Array was properly set up, and naturally, the Supreme Elders of the Sect would be able to lock down the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm. They would deceive the Laws of this place with a trick, consequently refining this Grotto Heaven.

The Fire Ape roared incessantly, frantically absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy from the outside world; Demon Energy surged within it, on the verge of forming a Demon Core.

The Power of Laws in the sky sensed its presence. With a loud thunderous boom, a lightning bolt thick as a water bucket struck down directly onto the Fire Ape.

"Ao…"

With a skyward roar, the Fire Ape’s rage soared to the heavens, and the flames on its body grew more intense, suddenly exploding and breaking through the Sword Array’s containment. The scorching flames blasted towards the Sword Cultivators.

"Not good!"

"Dodge quickly..."

With a bang, Chen Buqi’s chest lit up with white light, transforming into a Defensive Magic to block the oncoming flames. He raised his sword and slashed towards the Fire Ape, angrily shouting, "Do not retreat, form the Sword Array immediately, and suppress the Fire Ape."

The others’ expressions changed.

They did not possess defensive treasures as powerful as Chen Buqi’s. For them to block the flames while setting up the Sword Array to suppress the Fire Ape was expecting too much.

However, they all understood the importance of the mission, even if they resented it. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and halt their retreat. While defending against the flames, they formed the Sword Array once again and attacked the Fire Ape.

Nevertheless, nearly half of the Sword Cultivators suffered burns to varying degrees, two of them severely, with half their bodies scorched. Thankfully, these injuries were not fatal, and despite intense pain, they continued to fight with determination.

"Ao…"

With a great roar, the Fire Ape suddenly spat out a fiery red Demon Core towards the leading Chen Buqi.

"Zhuo Feifan, if not now, when will you make a move?"

Seeing the Fire Ape had formed a Demon Core and was attacking him, Chen Buqi suddenly bellowed.

Behind him, Zhuo Feifan’s eye twitched.

This guy really thought of him as his underling.

But now was not the time to squabble over this. He promptly activated the Sword Talisman in his hand. Instantly, a Sword Qi shot out like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced the scarlet Demon Core. With a loud burst, it shattered it completely.

"Ao... ao ao..."

Just as the Fire Ape had formed its Demon Core, it was pierced by a Sword Talisman. After a few reluctant howls, it deflated like a punctured balloon, with its energy rapidly dwindling.

But the Power of Laws in the sky didn’t care whether the Fire Ape’s Demon Core still existed or not; as long as the Fire Ape’s breath had not completely vanished, the Power of Laws would continue to bombard it relentlessly.

With a thunderous boom, just one strike severely injured the Fire Ape, sending it crashing to the ground.

Even when its Demon Core had been intact, it could hardly withstand several thunderstrikes, let alone now that its Demon Core was shattered; naturally, it was even less capable of resisting.

However, it was not dead.

Because the Sword Cultivators of Taiyi Mountain needed it alive to attract the Rule Power.

Suddenly, Chen Buqi took out a small mirror shimmering with golden light from his body, threw it in front of him, and the small mirror floated above the Fire Ape’s head.

Thunder rumbled again as lightning struck in quick succession.

But when the lightning struck the mirror, a flash of golden light deflected the lightning onto the cliff wall. Despite the bombardment of lightning, the cliff remained unscathed; instead, it seemed to have absorbed the power of the lightning, and a faint glow passed over it.

"Ah?"

Not far away, someone exclaimed in surprise and leaped out, looking at the small mirror with a face full of wonder, "Chen Buqi, what treasure is this? It looks a lot like the Golden Light Mirror, your Taiyi Mountain’s treasure. Surely you didn’t really bring your Sect’s treasure here, did you? Aren’t you afraid of it being stolen?

Hmm, no, if it were truly the Golden Light Mirror, your Cultivation would not be strong enough to manipulate it. Could it be that this mirror is a treasure forged in imitation of the Golden Light Mirror?"

Chen Buqi, who was manipulating the small golden mirror, turned to the source of the voice and narrowed his eyes, "Li Miaozhen?"

The tall woman standing on a large bluish rock nearby was none other than Li Miaozhen, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect of the White Tiger Lineage.

At that moment, she was curiously looking at the small golden mirror, her face betraying a desire to snatch it away for her own inspection.

Chen Buqi’s complexion turned somewhat ugly. He had dealt with Li Miaozhen before and knew this woman’s beauty was matched by a fierce temperament and overwhelming combat strength, which he dreaded. He now only hoped that she wouldn’t ruin his plans!

Hiding on the other side, Qin Feng was also taken aback. He spent most of his time cultivating in his room while on the Tower Ship and hadn’t seen Li Miaozhen. He was surprised that she was here too.

But he did not show himself and continued watching from the shadows.

He was no match for so many Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators; better to stay put and see how things unfolded.

"Chen Buqi, what are you doing?"

Li Miaozhen asked with a puzzled face.

Chen Buqi’s expression darkened, "What Taiyi Mountain’s disciples do is none of your business, right? Humph, Li Miaozhen, you’re sticking your nose into too many things!"

"Hehe..."

Seeing his reaction, Li Miaozhen laughed instead, "It seems you are indeed up to some secretive affair."

She looked up interestedly at the lightning gathering in the sky due to the Rule Power, then at the Fire Ape and the small golden mirror, speculating, "You are forcing the Demon Beast to advance and not killing it but using the aura on the Fire Ape to attract the Rule Power. And you specifically prepared a replica of the Golden Light Mirror to redirect the Rule Power to that cliff wall.

What exactly are you trying to do? Could it be that you’ve really discovered some lingering inheritance from an Ancient Sect?"

As they spoke, the lightning in the sky struck faster and faster, and the thick bolts of lightning reflected off the mirror light onto the luminous cliff. What had once been a smooth wall of stone began to look somewhat illusory, a dimly outlined entrance appeared.

"Hm? You really found an inheritance here?"

Li Miaozhen was astonished. She had spoken offhand without expecting it to be true.

Although it might not necessarily be the inheritance within the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, it was certainly something very important.

With this thought, she wasted no words, slapped her hand on the Spiritual Beast Bag at her waist, and a small Communication Spirit Bird flew out, heading toward the distance.

She planned to summon her Sect mates; whether or not Taiyi Mountain’s disciples had found the inheritance within the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, she could not let them continue. If they were to take control of the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven, it would be bad news for the Beast Taming Sect.

"She wants to call her Sect mates?"

Chen Buqi was alarmed at Li Miaozhen’s action and hastily ordered, "Stop that Communication Bird!"

No sooner had he spoken than a sharp Sword Qi surged from behind a large tree a hundred feet away from Li Miaozhen.

With a swoosh, the Sword Qi pierced through the air, slaying the Communication Spirit Bird on the spot.

"Hm?"

Li Miaozhen squinted her eyes.

The Green Bird had been nurtured by her for many years. Although it didn’t possess much combat power, its speed was incredibly fast. A being capable of killing her Communication Spirit Bird with one stroke was anything but ordinary.

"Li Miaozhen, since you have come, you shall not leave. It’s time to slay you in vengeance for the comrades you’ve killed in the past."

A sinister voice resounded.

It was a middle-aged Sword Cultivator.

Even though he had revealed himself now, his aura was still hardly fluctuating, clearly a master of concealment.

"Kill, kill this woman, and don’t spare anyone else lurking in the dark—all must be slain," ordered Chen Buqi in an icy tone.

Following his order, three more Sword Cultivators emerged from different directions, all with strong auras of Foundation Establishment. As they appeared, they attacked the Cultivators who had come to investigate.

Qin Feng watched as the several Sword Cultivators dashed rapidly towards different directions, and soon, several Cultivators appeared in those areas.

"We have no wish to make enemies of Taiyi Mountain; we will leave now."

Someone called out and swiftly flew away.

"Too late."

The Sword Cultivator pursuing him snorted coldly, "Thinking of leaving now? Wishful thinking!"
