"Sister Qi, what exactly is the Hua Xu Realm?"
Among the team, Lin Sheng's gaze fell on Qi Ning, and he humbly asked for guidance.
He had almost no understanding of the Hua Xu Realm, and although this Realm was still extremely far from him, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Actually, I don't know much about this Realm either, but the Hua Xu Realm and the Divine Transformation Realm, even the Shen Xing Nine Transformations, are like a chasm despite being only one Realm apart. I once heard a Dark Star Envoy mention that the Hua Xu Realm has completely broken away from the human category and reached a brand new Realm."
Hearing Lin Sheng's question, a hint of confusion flashed in Qi Ning's eyes, and she spoke softly.
"Perhaps this Realm has completely stimulated their Bloodline to the extreme, and they can even transform into beasts, displaying mysterious and unpredictable abilities."
"Breaking away from the human category? Stimulating the Bloodline to the limit, transforming into beasts!?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng chewed on the keywords carefully.
He already had some guesses in his heart.
Does breaking away from the human category refer to a life leap, or does it mean completely abandoning one's own Bloodline, completely releasing the mutated beast Bloodline within the body, and fully mastering the power of the Bloodline mutated beast?
He had some inferences in his heart, but there was no way to verify them, as he had never come into contact with a Transforming Void Grandmaster.
"Martial Artists who reach the Hua Xu Realm have reached an incredible level of strength, which is why they are called Grandmasters."
"Each transformation of the Shen Xing Nine Transformations is more difficult than the last, like ascending to heaven, and transforming void into reality is even more difficult. Whether I can even step into the Shen Xing Nine Transformations in this lifetime is still unknown, let alone hoping for the Hua Xu Realm..."
As she spoke, Qi Ning seemed a little emotional, muttering softly.
But soon, her gaze fell on Lin Sheng, and a smile appeared on her face.
"However, Lin Sheng, your talent is exceptional, far surpassing mine. In the future, you will definitely have the possibility of exploring the Hua Xu Realm, so you don't need to have any burden in your heart."
At this point, the smile on her face subsided, and she became serious again.
"So, you need to be careful in your future actions, and everything must prioritize your own life. Fortunately, this operation did not reveal your talent, otherwise, the Imperial Court might take action against you."
"This kind of situation has happened before. 50 years ago, a peerless Genius with an ancestral Bloodline, a subordinate of the Deputy Pavilion Master, was killed by experts from the Imperial Court when he was about to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm."
"I understand."
Lin Sheng nodded seriously, his heart also becoming a little more cautious.
He naturally knew about the hostile relationship between Dark Star and the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court's methods against Dark Star had always been endless, and Dark Star was the same, often assassinating important officials of the Imperial Court.
The talent he displayed was something that even a peerless Genius with an ancestral Bloodline could not compare to. If it were exposed, the Imperial Court would definitely not remain indifferent.
After the two chatted for a few more sentences, they rested briefly and then continued on their journey.
Although there was no news from Gongsun Yuanzhou for the time being, the calmer it was, the more dangerous it often meant.
So, at Qi Ning's request, the group rarely stopped.
Lin Sheng fully agreed with this point.
Along the way, although he spent most of his time immersed in cultivation, he would occasionally break away from his cultivation state, enter a highly perceptive mutated beast, release his crisis perception talent, and carefully sense whether there was any threat approaching.
Fortunately, he didn't detect any threats, which also relaxed his heart a little.
The journey was silent, and soon it was late at night.
At this time, the group was still moving through the mountains and forests, of course, their speed was much slower than before, after all, even a powerful Bones Transformation Martial Artist would definitely not be able to keep rushing forward continuously.
Later, at Qi Ning's signal, they simply rested in place for a while.
Everyone took out food, dried meat, and water from their pockets, and while eating, they occasionally joked with each other.
Woof—
A low wolf howl sounded from the distance in the forest.
The wolf howl carried a fierce and savage intent, emitting waves of pressure. It was clear that the owner of the voice was a Spirit Beast.
"Hoo, although this wolf howl sounds like an Elementary Level Spirit Beast, it should be considered one of the best among Elementary Level Spirit Beasts. It should be a Scorpion Tail Red Wolf."
The group naturally heard it clearly. There was a Hidden Star Envoy who was quite knowledgeable about mutated beasts, and after a brief identification, he guessed its identity.
"Red Dog, you didn't guess wrong, did you? I heard that the tail of a Scorpion Tail Red Wolf is a rare delicacy."
"What? You don't know my skills, Red Dog? It's definitely not wrong, it's a Scorpion Tail Red Wolf."
The Hidden Star Envoy named Red Dog spoke with full confidence, holding his arms.
"We've been eating that tasteless dried meat these past few days of traveling, it's almost bland enough to bore a bird. Now, heaven has opened its eyes and let us encounter a Scorpion Tail Red Wolf, so we naturally can't let it go."
The two Hidden Star Envoys who were close to Red Dog now had their eyes shining. The three of them exchanged glances and saw the intention in each other's eyes.
After looking at the team that had slowly stopped to rest, the three of them immediately sneaked towards the direction of the wolf howl.
At the front of the team, Qi Ning turned back and glanced at the backs of the three who had left, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Sister Qi, it's Red Dog and those three. I knew these three guys couldn't sit still. They probably went to find that Scorpion Tail Red Wolf. With their strength, a Scorpion Tail Red Wolf is nothing, just ignore them."
Lan Man's voice sounded from the side, apparently also noticing the departure of the three.
Qi Ning shook her head slightly and didn't bother to call the three back. After all, they would be leaving Tiannan Prefecture tomorrow. If these three wanted that Scorpion Tail Red Wolf, just let them go.
At the back of the team, Lin Sheng exhaled heavily, his breath piercing the air like a sharp arrow and landing on the ground, creating a fist-sized pit in the ground.
There was a hint of bloodiness in his breath.
Ptooey!
He spat, expelling the bloodiness from his mouth, and his face, which had turned crimson from congestion, returned to normal at a visible speed.
"Indeed, the compression of internal organs is extremely difficult, and with the surge in physique brought about by the successful skin shedding, the muscle and meridian system seems to be able to be further compressed."
At this moment, his body's blood and qi were surging, but there was a smile on his face.
The muscle and meridian system being able to be compressed again undoubtedly proved the growth potential of the True Yang Change. No matter how strong his physique became in the future, as long as he further compressed it, the upper limit would also increase, and the effect of the explosive amplification would also grow accordingly, unlike the Great Strength talent which was limited.
He turned his head and glanced at the three figures moving quickly in the mountain forest.
Although immersed in cultivation, he always maintained his attention to the outside world, so he naturally heard the wolf howl and the departure of the three.
He didn't pay attention to these things. He shifted his gaze to the black shadow circling above his head. Looking closely, there was a trembling yellowish-brown object lying on the back of the shadow.
The black shadow was Little Black, who had been following closely all the way. Who else could that yellowish-brown object be but Big Yellow?
Although Big Yellow was about to step from mundane into the ranks of Spirit Beasts, he was still a mundane beast after all, and naturally couldn't keep up with their speed. So, with a wave of Lin Sheng's hand, he threw him to Little Black.
Big Yellow had suffered quite a bit along the way. Little Black usually liked to tease Big Yellow, and now that Lin Sheng wasn't on his back and it was just Big Yellow, he would occasionally perform a thrilling maneuver in the air, scaring Big Yellow into trembling.
"Come down."
Lin Sheng beckoned and snapped his fingers.
Little Black immediately swooped down and landed beside Lin Sheng.
At this time, Little Black looked a little listless. After several days of traversing mountains and ridges, even a flying Spirit Beast couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Seeing Little Black's appearance, Lin Sheng pondered for a moment, took out the blood awakening treasure pill from his pocket, gently scraped off some powder from it, and with a flick of his hand, the powder fell into Little Black's mouth.
This blood awakening treasure pill was extremely valuable and had a powerful effect of strengthening Bloodlines.
This effect was naturally also applicable to mutated beasts, and for him, especially after completing his skin shedding, the value of this priceless treasure pill was almost negligible.
Therefore, he didn't value the blood awakening treasure pill as much as others. This time, he could just see how effective this pill was.
Facing Lin Sheng's feeding, Little Black was a little confused, but still swallowed it directly.
And Big Yellow on his back, after Lin Sheng took out the blood awakening treasure pill, immediately stood up, opened his mouth, and his two eyes were wide open. Transparent, sticky saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, and he let out urgent whimpering sounds.
"You're in a hurry now!?"
Seeing Big Yellow's appearance, Lin Sheng frowned and cursed, then scraped off some more powder from the blood awakening treasure pill and threw it to Big Yellow.
The powder he scraped off was not much, less than a tenth of the pill.
But given the value of this pill, it should be able to have some effect.
Lin Sheng stroked his chin and watched the reactions of the crow and the dog.
He didn't have to wait long. Soon, Big Yellow had a reaction.
Woof—
With a low bark, Big Yellow lay on the ground and began to tremble constantly. Later, he even started rolling around in place, rolling non-stop, and especially, white foam began to come out of his mouth, emitting an unpleasant Fishy smell.
This appearance startled Lin Sheng.
He recalled the domestic dogs on Blue Star that had accidentally ingested pesticides, and they were pretty much the same as Big Yellow was now.
He immediately squatted down, grabbed Big Yellow, and lifted him up.
After sensing carefully, he finally felt relieved. Although this appearance looked scary, there was no sign of weakening life force in his body; on the contrary, it was constantly becoming more vigorous.
"It seems like he's about to break through the threshold of a Spirit Beast."
After confirming that he was fine, he put Big Yellow down.
Meanwhile, Little Black on the side also had a reaction and flew up directly, flapping his wings.
He let out cawing sounds from his mouth, with excitement in his voice. After circling in the air twice, he flew back to Lin Sheng's side.
His two gem-like black eyes had a little luster and seemed much brighter than before. Besides that, there were no other abnormalities.
Although there were no changes in appearance, he could feel that Little Black's aura was stronger.
"It should be that his spirit has been enhanced. Although the increase is not very large, it is a real improvement. It seems that the effect of this treasure pill is indeed very good."
Lin Sheng was a little surprised. Big Yellow was only one step away from the Spirit Beast threshold, so it was natural for him to show results quickly.
But it was remarkable that it could have some effect on Little Black in such a short time.
Moreover, the medicinal power of this pill should not have been completely absorbed yet, and it should be further enhanced after complete absorption.
At this time, Big Yellow had stopped trembling. His original yellowish-brown fur had become shiny and dense. The most obvious change was his originally bare tail, which was now slowly growing out at a visible speed. It grew about a meter long before stopping.
In addition, his two ears were more than twice as long as before, and the fur on them was black and white.
Woof—
Big Yellow opened his eyes and barked in confusion. His brownish-yellow eyes were more agile.
After noticing his changes, he immediately barked excitedly, his long tail wagging constantly, especially towards Little Black on the side, shaking his body as if showing off.
But soon, he was grabbed by Lin Sheng.
He was very curious about what changes Big Yellow would undergo after becoming a Spirit Beast.
【Beast Name: Wind Listening Dog (Spirit)】
【A spirit dog that evolved from a local dog by chance, breaking through its limitations. It has a slender body, large ears, and a long tail. Its body is agile and its perception is extremely strong. It can perceive danger in advance and avoid it. It is extremely intelligent but has weak combat power and is extremely timid. (This is a canine beast with the Bloodline of a Sniffing Dog. It has good digging potential. If blessed with a great Opportunity, there may be a slight possibility of returning to its ancestral form...)】
【Possession Effect: Perception Increase 8, Agility Increase 5】
【Talent: Avoidance】
After reading Big Yellow's information, Lin Sheng's eyes lit up slightly.
"I didn't expect the improvement to be so great after becoming a Spirit Beast."
Although from the perspective of the increased attributes, it was only 13 points, which was quite average among Spirit Beasts, it should be noted that Big Yellow had just been promoted to a Spirit Beast and would continue to grow afterward.
Even putting aside the subsequent attribute growth, just the 8 points of perception increase was the highest perception attribute he had possessed so far.
In addition, Big Yellow finally had a talent.
Avoidance, it sounded like an auxiliary talent similar to crisis perception.
As for what it was exactly, he would know by trying it.
Immediately, he stretched out his finger and pricked Big Yellow's skin. With a thought, and with Big Yellow's exaggerated wail, Lin Sheng had completed the possession.
Looking at the somewhat listless Big Yellow, Lin Sheng pondered for a moment and took out the blood awakening treasure pill again, scraping off a little.
Seeing Lin Sheng's action, Big Yellow, who had been listless and half-dead a second ago, jumped up from the ground and looked eagerly at Lin Sheng, or more precisely, at the powder in his hand.
Lin Sheng didn't bother to pay attention. He flicked the powder into his mouth and ignored him.
"Alright, pack up, prepare to set off."
At this moment, Qi Ning's voice came from the front.
The group got up one after another, preparing to continue their journey.
"Why haven't Red Dog and the others returned yet!?"
Lan Man's voice sounded.
Only then did everyone remember the three of Red Dog who had left some time ago.
"It's just an Elementary Level Spirit Beast, they should have finished it by now?"
"I think this Red Dog is living backwards. He's even wasting so much time on just a Scorpion Tail Red Wolf..."
"In my opinion, maybe those three guys are hiding somewhere and secretly eating..."
Hearing the group's teasing, Lin Sheng's heart sank slightly.
He immediately released his perception, and at the same time, activated the Avoidance talent he had just acquired.
Instantly, waves of needle-like pain surged from his skin.
