Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

The group arrived at the mountain peak in the southwest direction.

They didn't see the strange spring along the way.

However, along the way, they encountered a blessed land created by a powerful figure before his death.

It's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky.

Because this black vortex gate, resembling a washing machine drum, blocked the only path to the summit, everyone had no choice but to go inside and investigate.

Shi Shangxu's expression was solemn as he gripped his longsword tightly. "It seems that to reach the summit, we must pass through this vortex gate. The outcome inside is uncertain, so everyone must be careful."

Everyone's expressions were solemn. Shi Shangxu turned to look at Yu Luoning and once again instructed in a deep voice, "Ningning, I'll go in first to scout ahead. Once it's safe, you can follow in turn."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Shangxu leaped into the black vortex and was the first to plunge into it.

Lu Feishuang and her brother, along with Mo Fei, followed closely behind and jumped in one after another.

Yu Luoning stood at the very end of the line, took a deep breath, and prepared to step in.

Suddenly, a Gu Diao flew in from her diagonal rear.

The Gu Diao spread its arms, its body enveloped in a violent gale, and lunged at Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning's gaze sharpened, and she twisted her waist in mid-air, spinning twice to dodge the attack.

In that very short time, the vortex-shaped gate to the blessed land that had been behind them suddenly closed.

Yu Luoning looked bewildered, glancing at the void and then at Pan Maoxin, who was looming behind her, eyeing her menacingly.

Pan Maoxin's face was full of ruthlessness as he sneered, "You little bitch, I advise you to hand over the Heavenly Demon Spider if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to let you feed it to the Gu Eagle."

Yu Luoning's expression turned cold and stern.

"You followed me right after Senior Sister Su Man'er left. Were you just eating my ass the whole way?"

"Of course." Pan Maoxin raised his chin smugly, then suddenly spat and said viciously, "You're the one who eats farts!"

Yu Luoning laughed, "Not bad, not bad, you've even learned to bounce back. But I don't follow anyone else around. As for you, the secret realm is so big, you have time to cause trouble for me, why don't you go and catch another Heavenly Demon Spider yourself?"

Pan Maoxin stared intently at Yu Luoning and said, "What a silver tongue you have! Unfortunately, I only have my eye on the Heavenly Demon Spider in your possession. Will you hand it over or not?"

Yu Luoning sneered, "It's one thing for you Beast Taming Peak members to play with animals all the time, but you've even learned a whole set of animal skills."

"Want the Heavenly Demon Pearl? Sure, come and get it yourself. Let's see if you have the ability."

"You bitch, you're asking for it!"

Pan Maoxin roared, his five fingers interlocked and swirling, manipulating the Flying Bird Seal.

The next moment, the black Gu eagle spread its wings, and its dark red pupils locked onto Yu Luoning.

Facing this terrifying beast, Yu Luoning didn't even lift her eyelids.

If the other party is a beast tamer, she will have to carefully consider the difference in strength.

Unfortunately, playing with birds in front of her would be tantamount to courting death.

The phoenix bloodline that was awakened earlier, among which the First Phoenix was the supreme ancestor who could crush all birds and animals in the world.

Instead of retreating, Yu Luoning advanced, her fingertips exerting slight force as she silently spread a wisp of supreme aura unique to Chu Huang along her divine sense.

The once arrogant Gu Diao suddenly trembled, its round, fierce eyes instantly filled with fear.

It seemed to sense the suppression from its bloodline, its entire body trembling violently, and it let out a whimpering sound.

Seeing that the Gu Diao hadn't moved for a long time, Pan Maoxin kicked it in a fit of rage and said, "You beast, what are you standing there for? Tear her to pieces!"

But the next moment, something happened that left him speechless.

This usually arrogant and fierce Gu Diao, who didn't even put the elite inner disciples in its eyes, suddenly had its wings droop uncontrollably, its knees buckled, and it knelt down in a very smooth manner before the outer female cultivator.

The Gu Diao lowered its enormous head, its humble body almost touching the ground.

Pan Maoxin was completely dumbfounded.

"Impossible! You beast, are you rebelling? She's not your master, I am! Get up and attack her!"

However, no matter how much he activated the master-servant contract, the Gu eagle dared not show the slightest hostility towards Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning was delighted to have achieved such an unexpected result from using the power of suppressing the Primordial Phoenix bloodline for the first time.

The First Phoenix is ​​the ancestor of all birds and has a natural ability to suppress all ferocious birds and feathered creatures, but this ability also stems from the bloodline bond within them.

In short, the purer the bloodline of a bird, the more it can sense the oppressive power of the ancestral phoenix. Impure, mutated monstrous birds, however, may not feel this bloodline bond and will not submit to or fear the ancestral phoenix.

However, such demonic birds are few in number, and the less pure their bloodline, the more difficult it is to improve their cultivation level in the later stages, so they are not worth fearing.

The Gu Diao that Pan Maoxin contracted was a descendant of an ancient purebred, with its bloodline instincts etched into its soul being extremely pure.

Even a slight aura of the First Phoenix inheritance released by Yu Luoning was enough to make it feel awe.

Yu Luoning's eyes were somewhat dark at this moment.

She looked at Pan Maoxin, who was still yelling incessantly, and felt disgusted.

He wanted to just slit the idiot's throat, but the other party was an inner disciple, and his body was bound with the sect's life soul tablet.

When they entered the secret realm, the Autumn Water Fairy told them to reduce the killing during their visit.

Yu Luoning closed her eyes, pondering.

She finally suppressed her murderous intent and said, "You should be glad that you are an inner disciple and that you have a life-saving jade pendant on your body."

Your Beast Taming Sect has always relied on contracts to make demonic beasts work for you. Now that your greatest reliance is gone, don't cause any more trouble.

Crush the soul tablet now and get out of the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm immediately, or... I wouldn't mind controlling your Gu Eagle and having it kill you.

Pan Maoxin's eyes widened, and he took a few steps back, trembling.

He stared at Yu Luoning, utterly incredulous. "What kind of monster are you? Why can you control beasts...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Luoning said impatiently, "You talk too much nonsense. I'll count to three, and if you still don't get out, this old lady will have this Gu eagle kill you today."

Yu Luoning slowly opened her mouth and uttered a single word clearly.

"three."

Pan Maoxin's expression changed drastically; he thought Yu Luoning was just trying to scare him.

We've only just entered the secret realm; if we leave now, we'll suffer a huge loss.

However, Yu Luoning had no intention of wasting words with him, not even bothering to lift an eyelid, and simply said, "One."

Pan Maoxin stood there dumbfounded, pointing at Yu Luoning with wide eyes, and said, "You have no sportsmanship at all! Who jumps straight from three to one when counting? Where's the two? Did you eat the two?"

Yu Luoning sneered, "I didn't call you 'one' directly, which is being polite to you."

Having said that, she stopped wasting words and, with a thought, used the hidden Phoenix Bloodline within her body to issue her first command to the giant Gu Eagle.

The Gu Diao roared angrily, its body leaping up in an attempt to please the powerful Primordial Phoenix Ancestor.

Even though Pan Maoxin was its contract master, the Gu Diao showed no mercy at this moment, pecking hard at his buttocks, instantly turning them into a bloody mess that stained his brocade robe red.

"You beast, how dare you!" Pan Maoxin was shocked and rolled on the ground in pain, clutching his buttocks.

He dared not take any chances and quickly crushed the jade talisman.

A snap.

The next instant, the shattered jade talisman released a burst of silvery-white light, instantly enveloping his entire body.

The activation time was three breaths, and Pan Maoxin had nowhere to hide, being pecked by the Gu Diao and howling in pain.

"You bitch, I'll haunt you even in death!"

Before he could finish speaking, Pan Maoxin vanished into the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm.

The air returned to a deathly silence.

Yu Luoning withdrew her divine sense and shook her head.

As long as she obtains the qualification of an inner disciple through this secret realm, even with a protective talisman, Pan Maoxin wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

She loves seeing her enemies frustrated and helpless.

As for the blessed land, she didn't know if Shi Shangxu and the others were alright. She could only pray that they were all safe and sound, while she waited for them outside the blessed land.

She cautiously looked around, observing the state of the blessed land's gate, and chose a secluded corner to sit and wait.

Just then, a male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wow, I was really surprised when I saw it!"
