Sage of Humanity-Chapter 460 458: The Young Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect

The Spirit Stream battlefield, the Cloud River battlefield, and even the entire Nine Provinces are filled with numerous opportunities; it just depends on whether the cultivators can come across them.

Comparatively, the Spirit Stream battlefield features primarily inheritances, while the Cloud River battlefield focuses more on lifting the strength of cultivators.

The Heaven-bestowed spirit fortune stick is also an opportunity. Almost every day, across various spots in the Cloud River battlefield, there are Heaven-bestowed spirit fortune sticks, which are among the opportunities most welcomed by cultivators since they come without much risk but with the chance of definite benefits.

But opportunities are not limited to the Heaven-bestowed spirit fortune stick alone.

There are also various secret realms.

The Spirit Stream battlefield has its secret realms too. Xianyuan City, which Lu Ye had visited before, is one such secret realm, where he acquired a large amount of Soul Cleansing Water.

The secret realms in the Cloud River battlefield are particularly numerous; some open at fixed times and places. Whenever it is time, a large number of cultivators gather outside the secret realms.

There are also some secret realms that need special methods by cultivators to open, and others appear randomly across the Cloud River battlefield, where only those fated can enter.

As seen presently, at the horizon, a column of light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds. Even from hundreds of miles away, it was clearly visible.

Above the spirit ground, Lu Ye and Shen Xiaomao stood side by side, looking at the sky-piercing column of light, knowing that the recent disturbance must have been caused by it.

"What is that?" Lu Ye, though he had bought plenty of intelligence about the Cloud River battlefield from the Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union, had not been there long, so naturally did not have as much experience as Shen Xiaomao.

"It's likely a type of secret realm. I am not quite sure which, but whichever it is, it's bound to be beneficial."

"Let's check it out!"

"But this spirit ground…"

"Don't worry about it. There's a hiding array; it's not easy to detect unless someone inspects closely. Even if we lose it, we'll just snatch it back later."

As Lu Ye spoke, he called out to the others below. Yiyi and Amber quickly followed, summoning their spirit ark and turning into a streak of light heading in the direction of the light column.

Shen Xiaomao could only follow; she was also interested in the light column, just reluctant to leave the spirit ground behind.

For her, a cultivator who relies primarily on the absorption of nature's spiritual energy, having a stable spirit ground was too important; even if the spirit ground was not at Class B, it would save her a lot of time in her cultivation.

However, that was not the case for Lu Ye. For him, the spirit ground was not critical; it was an added advantage when available but no big deal if lost.

The last time he had gone back to reclaim the spirit ground was only because the tactics used by Ruan Qingzhu and others were particularly despicable.

From afar, the distance to that column of light seemed great, and even traveling rapidly, it proved to be quite far.

About three or four hundred miles, to be exact.

By the time Lu Ye and the others arrived at the location, the column of light had already subsided, leaving behind a screen of light about thirty feet tall, with twisting, multi-colored lights. If one observed carefully, various scenes flickered through, including rugged mountains disappearing in a flash, unknown cultivators flying through the air, and various animals and beasts.

Many cultivators had already gathered around.

Most of them were engrossed in the ever-changing screen of light, watching with great interest.

Lu Ye looked around; there were already two to three hundred cultivators here, and as time passed, more continued to arrive.

Based on the spirit force fluctuations coming from these cultivators, the strength of the arrivals varied greatly, ranging from Level 8-9 of Cloud River to those who had only recently ascended to Cloud River Level 1 or 2.

Suddenly, Lu Ye's gaze fixed on one person, a woman dressed in purple, her expression indifferent.

Feeling his gaze, the woman in purple looked over.

As their eyes met, the woman nodded slightly to Lu Ye, then averted her gaze.

Lu Ye also discreetly shifted his focus.

It was unexpected to encounter this woman so soon again.

"Be careful, this is a large-scale secret realm!" Just as Lu Ye was surveying the area, Shen Xiaomao suddenly came close and whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"I have been in this type of secret realm before. The environment inside is very complex; it's almost like a real world! Plus, once inside, each person is given a new identity."

"Who grants these identities?"

"Heaven's Augury!"

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

Anything involving Heaven's Augury was never simple. He couldn't help feeling a particular interest in this secret realm. If his previous conjectures were correct, having received the Heaven's Augury Bestowment, he might enjoy some special privileges under the influence of Heaven's Augury.

"What can we do once inside?"

"Do something that fits my new identity? Last time I entered a secret realm where I was a spy from one sect infiltrating another, tasked with stealing that sect's sect-guarding treasure."

"Wasn't that thrilling?"

"Don't mention it. I almost died there, but in the end, I got my hands on it!"

"What was the benefit?"

"That sect rewarded me with many cultivation resources, including several spirit fortune sticks."

Lu Ye's interest grew even stronger! Looking across the entire Cloud River battlefield, if he was most interested in anything right now, it was undoubtedly the spirit fortune sticks that could rapidly enhance one's cultivation.

"I don't know if we will be together after we enter. You are only at the Cloud River Level 2 now. Whatever identity you assume there, you must be very careful. We can still communicate inside, so if we get separated, and you have any questions, just message me."

"Understood."

Time passed, and gradually, more and more cultivators gathered. In less than half a day, the number of cultivators within a radius of about 30 miles had exceeded several hundreds.

Keep in mind this was the Cloud River battlefield, not the Spirit Stream battlefield. The Cloud River battlefield was much vaster and the cultivators were more dispersed. The rapid gathering of over six hundred cultivators in such a short time indicated the allure of this secret realm to the cultivators.

Despite the large number, no fights broke out. The cultivators who arrived were all focused on the secret realm, and nobody wanted to cause unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, that tens of feet high screen of light began to distort into an oval-shaped gate of light. The chaotic fluctuations gradually settled, and through the gate, one could even vaguely see the picturesque scenery on the other side, as if there really was another world beyond.

"We can go in now!" someone suddenly shouted.

The next moment, groups of cultivators started to rush through the gate of light in pairs and threes.

The number of cultivators remaining outside gradually decreased.

Lu Ye, Yiyi, and Shen Xiaomao also entered the gate of light after waiting for a moment.

A sensation of the world spinning overwhelmed him, and at the same time, a flood of uncontrollable information surged into Lu Ye's mind. This feeling was very similar to when he was exploring the spirit runes carried by the leaves on the Talent Tree.

His mind became muddled, and Lu Ye struggled to maintain his clarity, organizing the information in his mind.

Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, a world where cultivators and demon beasts coexist. Due to the world's uniqueness, a large number of demon beasts thrive and survive here. The beast-taming faction, which is not very common in the Nine Provinces, flourishes in this world. Most cultivators here are experts in the Path of Beast Taming, having lived and grown up with demon beasts from a young age, eventually having their own natal demon beasts.

However, constrained by the world's limitations, the highest cultivation level among the cultivators here is also only the Cloud River Realm. No cultivator has ever broken the bounds of the Cloud River Realm and ascended to True Lake.

Originally, this was a peaceful and serene world. Although there were numerous beast-taming sects coexisting and conflicts and disputes existed, they did not affect the stability of the entire world.

But a year ago, some changes started to occur, an inexplicable madness began spreading across the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain. This madness affected only the demon beasts, not the cultivators. Any demon beast that contracted the madness became extremely bloodthirsty and uncontrollable.

The cultivation world of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, primarily based on the beast-taming faction, was severely damaged in an instant. Those cultivators who mainly relied on beast-taming saw their combat effectiveness greatly reduced, and some demon beasts even turned on their masters, killing those who had grown up and lived with them from a young age.

Suddenly, a panic swept through the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain!

Within just one year, the entire cultivation world was turned upside down. Nearly all sects based on the beast-taming faction were destroyed, and the once peaceful world faced a massive upheaval. Now, in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, only about ten sects not based on the beast-taming faction still struggled to survive. They formed a cultivator alliance to fight against those mad demon beasts.

If even these ten or so sect-formed cultivator alliances could not withstand those frenzied demon beasts, the complete collapse of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain's cultivation world was imminent. At that point, the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain would become a world dominated by demon beasts, and the human race would no longer have a foothold.

Currently, the cultivators from these remaining sects are gathered in a city called Two Worlds City. Apart from cultivators, there are a large number of ordinary humans living here. This is also the last haven for the humanity of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.

Meanwhile, those crazed demon beasts have also set their sights on this last stronghold of the human race.

After organizing the numerous chaotic pieces of information, Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

Sounds of breaking the air came to his ears, and the scenery around him rapidly moved backwards. Lu Ye discovered that he was currently in a mid-sized Flying Spirit Artifact.

This was a mid-sized Flying Spirit Artifact, capable of holding three to five people. A few faint fragrances lingered at the tip of his nose, the body scent of women.

Lu Ye hadn't completely recovered his senses when he heard a familiar voice calling him, "Ye Liu!"

Following the voice, Shen Xiaomao's pretty face came into view.

This woman was with him, not separated from him.

Not only Shen Xiaomao but also two other women were present, one of which was Lan Ziyi...

The last woman Lu Ye did not recognize, nor did he know who she was.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him. Lu Ye rubbed his temples, feeling rather overwhelmed.

This was his first time entering such a secret realm. Based on the clues and information he had previously organized, just as Shen Xiaomao had mentioned earlier, he was now given a new identity by Heaven's Augury.

The Young Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!

Heaven's Augury indeed favored him. The identity of the Young Master was undoubtedly beyond the reach of ordinary people. Shen Xiaomao, Lan Ziyi, and even the woman Lu Ye did not recognize, in this secret realm, all bore the identity of his maids.
