Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 369: Buried Sword Daoist

Slay the Fierce Beast!

No time to lose!

Master Huan Yu understood that when this Ancient Secret Realm appeared, countless cultivators must have flooded in, and the longer he delayed, the more troublesome it would become.

Of course.

With the card strength of Master Huan Yu, he naturally did not fear other cultivators. Even if faced with a Tribulation Stage expert, while not confident in suppressing them, he could easily retreat.

However.

Master Huan Yu did not wish to trigger unnecessary conflicts.

He even wished to keep his very existence unknown to others.

Only thus.

Could he steadily achieve success in his Nine Tribulations Reincarnation.

However.

To ensure the safety of the Earth Spirit Fruit, Master Huan Yu also needed to set up restrictions to prevent anyone from seizing it when he left.

...

The process of slaying the Fierce Beast was not complicated.

In this small world, Spiritual Qi was abundant, and with no outsiders, Fierce Beasts proliferated rapidly. However, deterred by a previous high-level Fierce Beast, few dared to enter the python’s territory.

After all, every Fierce Beast has its own territory.

Once another Fierce Beast steps into a specific territory, it’s seen as a provocation.

Yet adjacent territories are quite common.

Master Huan Yu took only half a day to slay several Unity Stage Fierce Beasts and one early-stage Void Refining Fierce Beast, using their blood and flesh to nourish the Earth Spirit Fruit, thereby shortening the Spirit Medicine’s maturation by decades.

The moment the Earth Spirit Fruit ripened, its fragrance spread for miles.

The rich aroma and the pervasive Spiritual Qi made both the cultivators and Fierce Beasts within miles sense it, and they rushed toward the Earth Spirit Fruit without a second thought.

As the Earth Spirit Fruit matured, Master Huan Yu, having prepared in advance, immediately packed the Earth Spirit Fruit into a jade box, tossed it into his Storage Ring, and left without looking back.

Spirit Fruit ripens.

Especially high-grade Spirit Fruit ripens with accompanying celestial phenomena.

This.

Was not unfamiliar to Master Huan Yu.

Therefore.

To prevent any unexpected occurrences, as the Spirit Fruit matured, Master Huan Yu made sure everything was handled properly.

Shortly after he left, a figure arrived.

"A step too late!"

Lin Ling looked at the Spirit Tree before him, frowning slightly. But upon seeing the python’s remnants under the Spirit Tree, his expression became much more serious.

The Spirit Fruit on the Spirit Tree had clearly been picked, but the python’s remains were visibly of high grade at first glance.

Immediately.

Lin Ling cast an Identification Talisman.

Soon, the relevant information appeared before him.

"Seventh-grade high-tier Fierce Beast!"

Lin Ling’s eyes lit up; he hadn’t expected the python’s remnants to be a seventh-grade high-tier Fierce Beast. Although its flesh was consumed, leaving only a discarded python skin, it was still a priceless treasure.

The skin of a seventh-grade high-tier python could be refined into top-tier armor.

Lin Ling wasn’t sure who slayed a seventh-grade high-tier Fierce Beast or who was so extravagant to abandon the python skin here, but it didn’t stop him from taking advantage.

After storing the python skin, Lin Ling glanced around without any intention of staying longer.

With the Spirit Fruit gone, there was no reason to linger, lest others mistakenly think he took the Spirit Fruit, which would be troublesome.

And indeed.

Soon after Lin Ling left, many cultivators arrived.

Upon seeing the bare Spirit Tree, they immediately suspected someone had previously taken the Spirit Fruit, leading to considerable conflict.

Following that.

Other Fierce Beasts arrived upon hearing the news.

Instantly.

A chaotic battle erupted around the Spirit Tree.

Elsewhere, Lin Ling quietly left.

He was well aware that with his current strength, though not weak in the Secret Realm, he couldn’t be considered top-tier.

The Dao Divine Body was undeniably powerful.

Unfortunately.

Lin Ling had yet to break through the seventh grade; no matter how complete the sixth grade was, it was still just sixth grade. Facing a seventh-grade expert, he had little chance of winning.

If encountering a powerful seventh-grade, survival would be uncertain.

"It’s just unfortunate that after entering this Secret Realm, the locations were assigned completely at random, and all Upper Qing Sect cultivators were scattered, needing to regroup first!"

Lin Ling opened the private chat on the Divine Kingdom chat group, preparing to contact others from the Upper Qing Sect to regroup in this small world. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The method of leaving this Secret Realm is also straightforward; tokens are randomly generated in the world, and finding one allows leaving.

In addition to this.

There’s another method.

It requires breaking the Secret Realm’s barriers by force, extricating oneself.

But this Secret Realm is stable, and Lin Ling suspected even eighth-grade experts couldn’t break the barriers by force. Only a ninth-grade expert could.

...

While the Upper Qing Sect was regrouping, other sect forces who entered the Secret Realm and were hence scattered, after briefly exploring this realm and encountering many powerful Fierce Beasts, mostly chose to regroup and explore together.

But simultaneously.

Some who prided themselves on their strength had no intention of teaming up.

"Boom!"

Spiritual Qi soared to the sky, indicating the maturation of another Spirit Medicine.

Fairy Jiuyin, walking in the Secret Realm, upon sensing the surging Spiritual Qi, her beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Such dense Spiritual Qi, could it be that an eighth-grade Spirit Medicine has emerged!"

Without any hesitation.

Fairy Jiuyin immediately rushed toward the direction of the soaring Spiritual Qi.

Eighth-grade Spirit Medicine.

Even she found it irresistible.

More importantly, if not harvested immediately upon maturation, the Spirit Medicine could very likely be devoured by Fierce Beasts.

However.

Before Fairy Jiuyin fully arrived, intense fluctuations erupted from where the Spirit Medicine was soaring.

Seeing this.

Fairy Jiuyin’s expression grew increasingly anxious.

She unleashed her Spiritual Power, speeding up her journey.

When Fairy Jiuyin arrived at the Spirit Medicine’s maturation site, a middle-aged cultivator wielding a Divine Sword was battling a Fierce Beast. His Sword Qi was rampant, akin to the Unrivaled Sword God.

"Buried Sword Daoist!"

Fairy Jiuyin’s beautiful face suddenly turned serious.

Buried Sword Daoist!

A top-tier mid-stage Void Refining expert.

Among all Loose Cultivators, he was an iconic figure.

Although Fairy Jiuyin herself had also entered the Void Refining Stage, she was only at the early stage, lagging significantly behind Buried Sword Daoist in strength.

As for the Fierce Beast battling Buried Sword Daoist, its strength was clearly strong, somewhere between mid-stage and late-stage Void Refining.

Their brutal fight left Fairy Jiuyin indecisive.

After all, neither Buried Sword Daoist nor the Fierce Beast guarding the Spirit Medicine were opponents she could handle. Actively contesting it might lead to being besieged by both.

Yet with the Spirit Medicine right before her, retreating was disheartening for Fairy Jiuyin.
