Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 546 - 442: Storm in the City, Old Foes of the Past
Chapter 546 -442: Storm in the City, Old Foes of the Past
For a moment, the wind and clouds changed color, and Spiritual Energy surged like tides!
The sky was painted with myriad shades of rosy light and thousands of auspicious vapors. Billowing lucky clouds stained the firmament with a spectrum of colors as hints of Immortal Music began to resonate between heaven and earth, bringing joy to everyone’s hearts.
At the Yingxian Building, on the third floor, several cultivators near the windows looked out with faces full of astonishment at the extraordinary phenomenon unfolding before them.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened, is a Great Cultivator proving Dao and Becoming an Immortal?”
“It doesn’t quite look like it, why does it resemble the phenomena of a Golden Core advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm?”
“Nonsense, since when does a Golden Core Cultivator advancing to the Purple Mansion cause such a grand spectacle?”
Someone rebuked from the side: “Even if you speak of the Purple Mansion, let alone a Golden Core advancing to the Dharma Image to become a Great Cultivator, it’s impossible to create such a massive commotion!
In my opinion, it must surely be someone about to Become an Immortal that could attract so much Spiritual Energy to gather like a tide. As for a mere Golden Core Cultivator, haha… don’t joke. If this is the kind of phenomenon caused by a Golden Core Cultivator’s advancement, then I, Old Wang, will write my name backwards!”
“Don’t speak so absolutely; what if it really is the phenomenon of a Golden Core Cultivator advancing? Then, Old Wang, you will have to eat your words!”
“Impossible!”
Under the auspicious clouds filling the sky, the cultivators throughout the city were also abuzz.
There were no ordinary mortals in Lingxiao City, only cultivators!
Even those who had achieved Dao and Became Immortals were not few in number.
Therefore, at the moment the phenomena rose, no one lost themselves in the Immortal Music like ordinary mortals would; instead, they all looked up, craning their necks to gaze toward the sky.

Living year-round in Lingxiao City, they were all well-informed and had seen many a cultivator’s breakthrough phenomenon. But they rarely witnessed anything like today’s tumultuous event that also felt so peculiar!
Because the entire Lingxiao City was under the jurisdiction of Lingxiao Palace, such phenomena would not cause disarray within the city. In fact, apart from a few cultivators who held the privilege of Sky Controlling flight, all others wishing to enter or exit Lingxiao City had to walk honestly on foot.
Nonetheless, this did not deter the cultivators. It wasn’t long before the sky was filled with Communication Talismans, from which news emerged that the source of the phenomenon was at the Beast Taming Sect’s station.
Once this news spread, the discussions within the city grew even livelier.
This was because, in recent years, the Beast Taming Sect had garnered far too much attention.
Firstly, they launched an expedition into the Void and emerged utterly victorious, becoming the first Sect to conquer an Otherworld. Not only did this greatly enhance the Sect’s Qi Fortune, but it also enabled the utilization of an entire world’s resources to bolster the Sect’s power and foster countless disciples. What was more crucial was that the Gui Ling Ancestor found fortune in the Otherworld and advanced to Immortal, Proving Dao as a Golden Immortal!
This had already made countless cultivators envious and indirectly promoted the Five Domains Alliance, spurring the various Sects, which had previously dragged their feet, to become much more active.
As a result, during the trial engagement of the Sect disciples, Li Miaozhen and Qin Feng from the Beast Taming Sect entered a High Rank world for merely three years, yet they clarified the details of that world, returned early to Biluo, completed the trial, and even received recognition from many Great Powers, favored by Heavenly Dao with descended Qi Fortune to become Golden Immortal seeds.
Once this incident spread, it immediately caused a Shock throughout the Five Domains.
Everyone knew what it meant!
They also knew that once these two grew, the Beast Taming Sect would have four Golden Immortals!
By that time, with the Sect’s Qi Fortune at its zenith, it was very likely that it would support and promote the Jue Tian Ancestor, allowing that Peak Great Power from the Ancient Great Tribulation era, already infamous for his ferocity, to succeed in breaking through.
The Jue Tian Ancestor had presided over the Beast Taming Sect for many years, and it could be said that he resurrected the once teetering Sect with his own strength, taking it from decline to prosperity. His Qi Fortune was long intertwined with the Sect; a powerful Sect would doubtlessly bring him many benefits, enabling his promotion.
Once the Jue Tian Ancestor advanced to Eternal, the Beast Taming Sect was destined to become a Top Level Major Sect in Biluo, on par with the Great Five Elements Sect of the East Domain, Northern Domain Wuji Star Palace, Overseas Divine Water Palace, and other supreme forces, becoming a dominant force in its own right, second only to superpowers like the War God Palace and the Ten Directions Ghost City!
Therefore, every single action of the Beast Taming Sect now drew great attention, and even more so since Li Miaozhen raised quite a stir during the years Qin Feng was in secluded Cultivation.
Given Li Miaozhen’s character, she was absolutely not the one to stay quietly in the Cultivation Room for an extended period.
In fact, she was so eager that she did not stay in seclusion for even a year before rushing out and challenging people throughout the city.
After challenging all the renowned Purple Mansion Cultivators in the city, she left Lingxiao City in search of opponents. Had it not been for an order from the Gui Ling Ancestor forbidding her from leaving a ten thousand mile radius around Lingxiao City, she would have roamed far and wide, to who knows where.
Even so, the commotion she caused was not small.
Li Miaozhen was magnanimous and open-hearted with an honest and straightforward personality. Almost all cultivators who came into contact with her were willing to associate with her.
So it wasn’t long before Li Miaozhen gained reputation in Lingxiao City, and a group of loyal followers began to appear around her, who would often accompany or follow her to challenge those renowned Purple Mansion experts.
For a time, the hottest topic in Lingxiao City was which prominent Purple Mansion Cultivator Li Miaozhen from the Beast Taming Sect had defeated or to bet on how many rounds a famous Purple Mansion Cultivator could last against her!
Indeed, in the discussions, there was never a possibility of Li Miaozhen losing.
Because in the past few years, she had fought in countless battles, big and small, and she had never lost a single one!
Whether it was amongst her peers or those seasoned Purple Mansion realm elders, whether it was the scholars from the Spring and Autumn Academy who had endured years of rigors or the Inner Sect elders from various Sects across the Five Domains that came to the Central Region for the Alliance, Li Miaozhen had achieved invincibility in the Purple Mansion Realm.
Just as Li Miaozhen was gradually getting bored and no longer willing to challenge those cultivators, the talented disciples from various Sects who had been participating in the trials began to return one after another.
Like them, some of these talented disciples had coincidental good fortune, while others, through various bizarre methods, had acquired intelligence early on and returned to Biluo to vie for a spot.
Then, under the encouragement of a bunch of people, Li Miaozhen started a new round of sweep.
Not until recently did she feel that her cultivation had further refined and her understanding of the laws had become increasingly profound, so she finally stopped and returned to her residence to enter into closed-door cultivation.
Lingxiao City enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility for a while until the Beast Taming Sect’s residence made such a commotion again. So, when the cultivators figured out the source of the anomaly, the city was once again in an uproar.
Someone guessed on the spot, saying that the phenomenon didn’t look like someone had become an Immortal, after all, no Heavenly Tribulation had appeared for such a long time.
Although among the Confucian Cultivators, there were very few Great Scholars who did not cultivate mana or practice Divine Skills, who only relied on the Vast Air of Confucianism in their hearts and years of reading Saint Scripture to gain enlightenment; they occasionally manifested into Moral True Immortals without needing to cross tribulation. But that was an existence unique to Confucian Cultivators, and it’s impossible for such a Confucian Immortal to emerge from a Sect like the Beast Taming Sect, which specialized in commanding Spiritual Beasts in combat!
“It must be Li Miaozhen!”
In the Yingxian Building, the Wang-named cultivator who spoke earlier immediately changed his tune, “Beast Taming Sect’s Li Miaozhen is extremely talented, deserving the name Heavenly Pride even without this trial.
She had been in closed-door cultivation before, and now it must be her breaking through in her cultivation, advancing to Dharma Image, that has caused such a large anomaly!”
“Didn’t Brother Wang just say…”
“Cough, what I had said earlier was that this type of phenomenon certainly isn’t caused by a Golden Core Cultivator’s advancement. Li Miaozhen is not a Golden Core Cultivator, she is of the Purple Mansion!”
“Exactly.”
Someone chimed in from the side, “Li Miaozhen is truly a Chosen Son, with not only stunning Qi Fortune but also widely acknowledged strength. If it’s her, it’s very possible to have made such a big commotion!”
“It’s not certain!”
The previous cultivator said, “Do not forget that there is another Chosen Son in the Beast Taming Sect. It’s possible that this phenomenon is caused by the other Chosen Son’s breakthrough!”
“Are you talking about Qin Feng? Impossible, he’s only in the Golden Core Realm. Even if his gains were profound and he had the favor of the heavens, it’s unlikely for him to cause such a phenomenon when advancing to the Purple Mansion.”
Not far from these people, sat several tall and burly cultivators.
These fellows had strikingly different body types from normal people—it was clear they were without a doubt Body Cultivators, especially with the immense Qi Blood Power emanating from them, like furnaces emitting heat, even from afar one could sense their presence.
The person leading them, taller and more imposing than the others, was none other than the Giant Spirit Sect’s True Disciple, Duan Shanhe.
Upon hearing the conversation about Qin Feng from the table not far away, anger surged in his heart. He forcefully placed his wine bowl on the table, and the fragrant Spiritual Wine immediately spilled out.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother Duan? What’s bothering you?”
Seeing this, a few of his Sect brethren couldn’t help but ask.
Duan Shanhe had only returned from the Otherworld a few days ago, and he, too, had planned to return early to claim credit. Moreover, during his time in the Otherworld, he had ventured into the Iron Forest and disguised himself as a Giant, enduring years of hardship. Indeed, he had managed to gather quite a bit of intelligence, even obtaining the Giant Clan’s plans for future assaults on the Divine Country.
It was just unfortunate that he was a few years too late; if he had returned before Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen, with the information he had, he might have had a chance to compete for the title of Chosen Son.
But too late was too late. Due to Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen’s earlier return, taking the initiative, they left no chance for others!
Fortunately, the Qi Fortune he gained was enough to allow him to ascend to the realm of a Heavenly Immortal. Therefore, Senior Brother Duan’s status remained stable, with his talent and fortune, and the opportunities he had from infiltrating the Giant Clan, the Giant Spirit Ancestor had even declared that it would not be too difficult for him to ascend to Profound Immortal in the future.
If he seized a few more opportunities in future expeditions, there were even possibilities for further advancement!
Although he did not become the Master of Qi Luck, Duan Shanhe’s status in the Giant Spirit Sect did not decrease but increased instead.
It was just that he had always had one thing weighing on his mind, and that was Qin Feng.
Losing to Qin Feng in the Otherworld was one thing, after all, it had been the pressure from Qin Feng that had spurred him to take the risk to enter the Iron Forest, and in the end, he did indeed reap significant benefits from the Giant Clan; it not only skyrocketed his cultivation but also greatly helped him in his post-Immortal cultivation.
But what he didn’t expect was that after enduring numerous brushes with death and finally returning from the Giant Clan with sufficient intelligence to Biluo, he learned that Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen from the Beast Taming Sect had already shared the major portion of the big Qi Fortune that was originally split among four people. What waited for him was only the last shred of Qi Fortune, which he had to share with others.
This made him especially unsatisfied.
Being weaker back then and taking some grievances was fine, but now he prided himself on a significant increase in strength and a huge surge in combat power, which was not comparable to before—he was naturally unwilling to swallow his pride and yield!
