I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

The Sky-Swallowing Ray vanished, and there was no sign of any living creature or life left behind.

The two towering mountains have also been swallowed by the Sky-Swallowing Ray.

In the stronghold of the Quanbai Jin clan, a True Monarch of the Spirit Immortal Realm was somewhat troubled.

He told the two Immortal Realm members managing the stronghold, "Close the stronghold for a year and do not allow any clansmen to leave."

"But the clan's innate spiritual treasure embryos still need us to transport the corpses of ferocious beasts back. Will our ancestor agree to a year-long lockdown?"

One of the older cultivators, who was at the Immortal Transformation Realm, said somewhat awkwardly.

"Is the resource of the innate spiritual treasure embryo more important, or the lives of our people?"

"A congenital spiritual treasure embryo won't die without being nurtured by the corpse of a ferocious beast, but if one of our people dies, then they are truly dead!" The True Monarch of the Spirit Immortal Realm said somewhat angrily.

"It's much harder for someone to reach the Golden Core Realm in Quanbai than it is in the outside world! They can gain two hundred years of lifespan by reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, but what about us? If we can't advance to the Golden Core Realm before the age of 100, there's almost no chance of extending our lifespan. If we die, we're dead."

The words of the True Monarch of the Spirit Immortal Realm carried a hint of helplessness. Quanbai was indeed rich in resources, but how could outsiders possibly understand the difficulties of their cultivation system?

Their silence also revealed their attitude.

Outsiders may reach the Golden Core stage at the age of 400 or even 500.

"Go, tell the clansmen not to go out for the time being. I will handle the matter of the ferocious beast." After saying this, the True Monarch of the Spirit Immortal Realm left silently.

At this moment, in the stronghold of the Chen family in Taojin, Chen Gurao and Chen Lihai were a little anxious.

"Why haven't Qingshan and the others returned yet? Did something happen to them?" Chen Gurao asked anxiously.

"Don't say such unlucky things. I'll go out and look for it." Although Chen Lihai's tone was calm, his mood was no less relaxed than Chen Gurao's.

Chen Qingshan and his group of eleven were all potential cultivators at the Immortal Transformation Realm, so how could Chen Lihai not be anxious?

After saying that, Chen Lihai immediately flew out of the stronghold and went to search in the wild.

After searching for several hours, Chen Lihai arrived at the spot he had marked for the Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger. Looking at the land ravaged by the Sky-Devouring Ray, Chen Lihai felt extremely heavy-hearted.

After searching again and again, Chen Lihai could no longer hold back and broke down.

This is the location he marked for Chen Qingshan and the others; he asked them to come and clean it up.

All the blame rests on him alone.

Seeing Chen Lihai return to the stronghold looking distraught, Chen Gurao's heart sank.

Chen Gurao's heart sank.

"Are Rikkai and Aoyama alright?"

Chen Lihai directly recounted everything he had done, including the locations he had marked.

"I will go back in a few days and tell the ancestor about this matter. Everything started because of me, and I will bear the responsibility alone."

After saying that, Chen Lihai returned to his residence.

Chen Gu Rao felt heavy-hearted; he didn't know what to say.

Both the former and current Daozi were likely devoured by the ferocious beast due to Chen Lihai's negligence, a situation that no one person could bear alone.

He has the same responsibilities.

At this time, Chen Qingshan and his group were still hiding inside the cave.

"Master Chunting, the aura of that Sky-Swallowing Ray seems to have disappeared," Master Luanfeng said with a sigh of relief.

"No rush, we'll go back once Qinghuai's spiritual power recovers." After sensing the disappearance of the Devouring Ray's aura, Chen Qingshan felt a weight lifted from his heart.

"Luckily, that Sky-Swallowing Ray didn't chase after us, otherwise we would have been doomed," Chen Qinghuai said, feigning nonchalance.

After resting, Chen Qingshan and his group left the cave.

To avoid any accidents, Chen Qinghuai once again used the "Shifting Stars" technique to bring everyone back to the base.

The atmosphere in the stronghold was extremely oppressive. After seeing Chen Qingshan and the others return, Chen Gurao immediately went to tell Chen Lihai.

Chen Lihai, who had been feeling extremely dejected, suddenly became radiant and appeared in front of Chen Qingshan and the others in a flash.

"Qingshan, are you guys alright?" Feeling their real presence and abundant inspiration, Chen Lihai was extremely excited.

"It's alright. The moment the Sky-Swallowing Ray appeared, Qinghuai used his supernatural powers to take us away," Chen Qingshan replied.

He hadn't expected that the Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger could attract the sixth-tier Sky-Devouring Ray.

Chen Lihai breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face that was the most relaxed he had shown in thousands of years.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Don't go out for now. The whereabouts of this ferocious beast are unpredictable, and it's easy to encounter danger." After Chen Lihai finished speaking, he immediately disabled everyone's access tokens, prohibiting everyone from going out.

"How long will it be sealed off, Lord Rikkai?" Chen Qingshan asked.

If I were to stay at the stronghold for several years, I might as well go back to Quanbai to cultivate.

"Let's wait a few months and see if that Sky-Swallowing Ray will reappear."

Chen Qingshan nodded, then told Li Hai Yuanjun that the Devouring Ray was attracted by the roar of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger, and its target was not them.

Moreover, there were an exceptionally large number of ferocious beasts attracted there.

"I never expected that this Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger would have such a sinister ability. In the future, when encountering such ferocious beasts, it's best not to fight. If there's really no other way, then fight quickly and decisively."

"it is good."

Chen Qingshan took out the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger, wanting to show Li Hai Yuanjun whether it had mutated or was inherently special.

Chen Lihai checked it several times but couldn't find anything unusual about the Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger.

It wasn't until he investigated the source of its survival that Chen Lihai discovered something unusual.

He said with some surprise, "This Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger hasn't mutated, but its essence has been infused with something very strange. We need to take it back to Ancestor Qiyuan to take a look."

Subsequently, Chen Lihai used his supernatural powers to seal off the last remaining trace of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger's essence.

He planned to have the clansmen who wanted to return show the statue to the ancestor Qiyuan in a few months.

Chen Qingshan asked with some curiosity, "Lord Lihai, is there anything special about the origin of this Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger?"

"In its origin, there is something that belongs to our Canghong Realm, the Seed of Wisdom, which is something that can make spirit beasts or demon beasts develop wisdom ahead of time. I just don't know why it appeared here."

Chen Lihai was also puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, his expression changed.

"We're all heading back to Taojin Niangzhou tomorrow; we can't stay in this place any longer!"

Upon hearing about the purpose of this item, Chen Qingshan's expression changed drastically. If this fourth-tier Bloodthirsty Corpse Tiger possessed such a thing, it meant that other ferocious beasts should also have it.

No wonder this ferocious beast was able to attract a sixth-tier Sky-Devouring Ray.

Inside the base, everyone was packing up their belongings, and the great formation was operating at maximum power at all times.

Chen Lihai no longer cares about the energy consumption of the formation.

"Pack your things quickly, we're leaving tomorrow!" After saying that, Chen Lihai was the first to go and collect the property and all sorts of ferocious beast corpses in the stronghold.
