Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 161 - 153: Secret Realm

Following the gaze of the Flying Tiger, the one he addressed as Your Highness was a small fox, mere inches in size, its body flickering between ethereal and solid, oddly colored in pale pink.

”Ling Xu, the evidence is overwhelming, what else can you say!” The Flying Tiger roared angrily.

The eyes of the other third-tier Devil Beasts were filled with flames of rage, various spells building up in their mouths, ready to be unleashed.

Ling Xu felt somewhat embarrassed as he glared at the owner of the Spirit Beast Bag, a mere disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his eyes flashing with a cold light that seemed capable of choosing a victim to devour.

Were it not for this scoundrel, how would the Great Void Tao ever have encountered such a massive crisis! It even had to bow to the Devil Beasts in front of so many cultivators, greatly compromising its own dignity.

”Quickly release His Highness!” The roar of the Flying Tiger instantly snapped Ling Xu back to reality, and he hurriedly flew over, carefully cradling the little fox in his hands and gently carrying it out of the formation.

He had not considered keeping the little fox in his hands to threaten these Devil Beasts, especially since this was an extremely rare spatial Spirit Beast.

But when he thought about the fourth-tier Demon King behind it, Ling Xu immediately dismissed the foolish idea.

A fourth-tier Demon King!

This was not an entity that the Great Void Tao could handle.

You must know that, whether itʼs the human race or Devil Beasts, the higher their cultivation, the lower their fertility!

This little fox was definitely the apple of that Demon Kingʼs eye, and it might even be his only offspring; if it lost even a single strand of hair, all of Great Void Tao might never see the sun again.

”Uncle Flying Tiger, are you here to pick me up?” the little fox said in the Devil Raceʼs language.

”Yes, Your Highness, weʼve come to take you home,” Flying Tiger nodded repeatedly, relieved to see it unharmed.

If this little ancestor had been injured, then upon his return, aside from not getting any reward, he might even be punished.

”Donʼt be in a rush to leave. Iʼve discovered a place where the space has anomalies. Itʼs possible that a secret realm will appear before long,” the little fox said excitedly.

The Flying Tigerʼs expression changed, and the smile on his face deepened, as the benefits of a secret realm were substantial for the Devil Beasts.

As for why he believed the little foxʼs words so readily? Thatʼs because this little fox was an extremely rare and precious spatial Spirit Beast—the Spirit Void Fox!

”I understand, but first, let us return to Great Snow Mountain and report this matter to the Demon King for them to decide. What do you think, Your Highness?”

”Good,” the little fox said indifferently, then shook its tail and fell asleep on its body.

”Retreat!” Flying Tiger roared towards the horde, and under the herding of the other third-tier Devil Beasts, the horde began to return to the mountains along the way they came.

All the cultivators who saw this scene breathed a huge sigh of relief, with countless people silently rejoicing in their hearts.

The Master Xu Ling and several Golden Core Elders felt that there was more to the situation, especially when the Flying Tigerʼs face suddenly showed joy after the little fox had spoken.

However, the language of the Devil Race was etched into the bloodlines of their kind and the Great Void Tao had not delved into this area, so they were unaware of the content of their conversation.

As for Li Zhirui at this moment, he was cautiously approaching the Taixu Market from the rear, but when he saw the overwhelming horde of Devil Beasts from about twenty or thirty miles away, he immediately halted.

”The Marketplace is actually surrounded by Devil Beasts?” Li Zhirui looked on in horror at the scene in front of him. Could it be that the Devil Race intended to utterly destroy the Great Void Tao?

But to do so, there must be a purpose, right? Li Zhirui couldnʼt fathom it and could only carefully observe the situation from the rear. Should things go south, he would immediately head south and find a new place to continue his cultivation.

Because if the Great Void Tao fell, then the entire Great Void Province would become the domain of the Devil Race, unsuitable for a cultivator like him to practice in.

```

However, fortunately, the Devil Beasts only appeared to be encircling, and eventually receded like the tide.

Li Zhirui watched from afar as countless Devil Beasts left, the earth trembling slightly as they stampeded away.

After they had gone into the distance, Li Zhirui quickly flew towards the Marketplace, stepping onto the already somewhat chaotic streets.

”I heard that the western side of the Marketplace has been completely ravaged by the Devil Beasts, almost no cultivators or mortals remain.”

”Just this beast tide alone has reduced the population of Great Void Province by thirty percent, including tens of thousands of cultivators, and it is said that two Golden Core cultivators fell at the hands of the Devil Beasts.”

”Itʼs all because of that Foundation Establishment cultivator who captured the son of a Demon King!”

”Exactly! Itʼs all his fault! If it werenʼt for him, there wouldnʼt have been so many sacrifices. He must atone with his death.”

”Tsk!” a cultivator nearby suddenly let out a sneer and said, ”Do you know who that person is? Heʼs the only direct grandson of the third Elder of Great Void Tao, do you think he would atone with his death? Stop daydreaming.”

Hearing this conversation, Li Zhirui learned why this grand and largest-scale beast tide in history had erupted.

ʼThe son of a fourth order Demon King!ʼ Li Zhirui couldnʼt help but click his tongue, that took some nerve.

He was also curious about how that Foundation Establishment cultivator had managed to capture the son of a Demon King.

Li Zhirui couldnʼt help thinking that if he had such ability, the rank of the Spirit Beast he would contract in the future could be even higher.

But soon, he heard some news that sparked his interest—the unheard conversation between a small fox and a Flying Tiger.

Perhaps it was because of that the son of a Demon King was captured!

Li Zhirui found this very regrettable, as he was not present at the scene. If he had been, he could have communicated with Da Qing to conjecture what they were saying.

However, that regret did not last long, as Li Zhirui soon discovered the answer.

To be more precise, most of the cultivators in Great Void Province saw the answer!

One day, on a vast lake in the west of Great Void Province, spatial fractures suddenly emerged, followed by a secret realm surrounded by The Voidʼs bubbles, appearing before all the cultivators!

”A secret realm!”

”A secret realm has appeared in Great Void Province!”

”This was the content of the words of the Demon Kingʼs son.”

The characteristics of the little fox were too distinct, allowing any somewhat knowledgeable cultivator to recognize its true form.

”Wonder if itʼs a second order secret realm, if it is, do we have a chance to enter it?” a hopeful Loose Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm said.

In the eyes of most cultivators, besides danger, a secret realm primarily offers an abundance of various resources that can help cultivators grow faster.

Especially for them, Loose Cultivators, if they could obtain a wealth of resources within the secret realm, they would be able to break through faster and enhance their strength.

Li Zhirui also wanted to explore the secret realm; after all, most secret realms come from a thousand years ago, or even from more ancient times. The Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Objects that grow inside could likely be long extinct in the annals of time.

But he was more sensible, understanding that the likelihood of Loose Cultivators like them entering the secret realm was very low, extremely low!
