Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Gui Ling Ancestor was taken aback to see his own Sect’s two disciples appear in the hall, but soon a sense of relief blossomed in his heart.

Regardless of whether these two had gathered enough information during the trial, and whether they could seize the spot of the Chosen Son, just having them return safe and sound was, in itself, a matter worth celebrating.

After all, sending these disciples into a high-rank world for the trial was perilous, especially for those with lower Cultivation, and it was inevitable that some disciples would lose their lives in other worlds.

In fact, over the past three years, Mituom Buddha had sensed through the Guiding Treasure Banner the disappearance of marks on numerous disciples; those present in the hall surely knew what that implied.

Thus, this trial was a risk, a gamble by the Sect, sending forth a batch of its most talented disciples to otherworld realms.

If the gamble paid off, not only would the disciples’ Cultivation make great leaps, but the Sect would also gain immensely talented disciples. However, standing out in a high-rank world’s trial was daunting. It involved not just completing tasks before their peers from other Sects but also infiltrating the inner circles of power in a high-rank world to gather intelligence—both were tremendously challenging, making the odds of becoming the Chosen Son minuscule; it relied more on luck.

Seeing Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen return safely naturally eased Gui Ling Ancestor’s mind. Even if they brought back little information, their survival alone ensured that the Beast Taming Sect would continue to thrive with talented individuals upholding its reputation.

“Greetings to all revered Ancestors!”

After Mituom Buddha withdrew the Guiding Treasure Banner, Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen landed in the hall.

As Cultivators, once their consciousness operated normally and their spirits stabilized, they quickly came to their senses, looking up to see Grandmaster Taixuan and others seated above and sensing the scrutinizing gazes from the powerhouses on both sides. The duo dared not linger their gaze and promptly bowed deeply in salutation.

“Hmm.”

Mituom Buddha nodded, his round head bobbing with a jovial smile, “There’s no need to panic. Returning safely from another world is an achievement in itself.

Tell us, what information did you gather from the Otherworld? You’ve returned quite early; did you find anything?”

The Buddha, though kindly and compassionate in speech, spoke with a voice like a great bell, causing the void to buzz.

Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen exchanged a glance, then stealthily looked to the side and noticed Gui Ling Ancestor was also in the hall. They immediately felt reassured.

“Reporting to Mistuom Buddha, this time Sister and I have had quite the harvest. Sister even braved great risks to infiltrate the Divine Country of that world, figuring out the rough divisions of power and the respective strengths of their numerous divine beings.”

Qin Feng’s words immediately invigorated the spirits of many Great Powers in the hall.

“Oh, from your words, it seems you have indeed gathered quite a bit. Hurry, share with us so we can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of that world!”

“As commanded by my seniors.”

The two disciples bowed deeply, and Qin Feng turned to Li Miao Zhen, “Sister, please go ahead.”

“Alright.”

Li Miao Zhen nodded her head, undaunted by the watchful eyes of the numerous Great Powers, and spoke confidently, “The Divine Realm I visited is called the Nordic God Realm. This realm is quite unique, comprising three layers supported by an enormous World Tree.

The upper layer is called Asgard, home to all the Gods; the middle layer, known as Midgard, is mainly controlled by the Giant Clan and Vanir Gods aside from the Human Clan nations,

and the lower layer is the Netherworld. There are also two mighty countries of ice and fire located to the south and north, each guarded by strong figures. My main exploration was centered on the Divine Country in the upper layer, Asgard, where the primary Gods are…”

Li Miaozhen recounted her experiences over the past few years in detail, starting from when she gained the appreciation of the Valkyrie and joined the Valkyrie Girl Warriors. She had spent over two years making connections in the Divine Country, gathering information. Although her main contacts were beings below the Divine Realm, the information she obtained was comprehensive.

Especially, she had compiled many stories and rumors about All Gods and even ranked them in a rough hierarchy starting with Odin, the King of Gods. Although she couldn’t possibly gather intelligence on all Divine Clans, all the renowned deities were named on her list.

Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan stretched out his hand and took the Jade Scroll presented by Li Miaozhen into his hand. After glancing at it, he lightly tapped the scroll with his finger, and all the records therein transformed into text, emerging into the void for all the Great Powers in the hall to clearly see.

Then, the first thing everyone saw at the very top was the name of Odin, King of Gods.

Odin was in a category of his own, his two brothers slightly less powerful. Thunder God Thor, War God Ti’er, Guardian God Heimdall, and other deities with strong Divine Power and renowned names constituted another category.

According to Li Miaozhen’s estimates, beings like Thunder God Thor were likely powerful deities who had mastered corresponding Dao Principles, which is why they possessed such great strength and reputation.

And any such being who mastered a Dao Principle would surely be in the Immortal Realm. As for the strength of these beings, only a battle would reveal the truth.

Besides these highly renowned deities, Li Miaozhen had also clarified the specific number of the Aesir Clan and the general strength level of most ordinary Divine Clans.

As for the Elves and Dwarfs, although there were strong individuals among them, their combat abilities were far inferior compared to All Gods. However, Li Miaozhen did not overlook such information; she marked them along with the millions of Heroic Spirit Warriors in the Heroic Spirit Hall, for such information was also a merit.

“Excellent!”

Immediately, a Great Power praised, “With this information, we can estimate the strength of the Divine Country. This girl from the Beast Taming Sect has made a significant contribution. In my opinion, she definitely deserves a spot!”

“Indeed, as long as we can verify the authenticity of this information, she truly qualifies to become a Chosen Son!”

Someone by his side agreed.

Although the trial opportunities were limited and every Sect desired them, these Great Powers, being highly advanced in their Dao Cultivation, would certainly not lower their dignity in such an occasion by lying blatantly.

Even Qian Yuan Ancestor from the Taiyi Mountain Golden Light Cave remained silent at this moment.

Although he did not wish for the Beast Taming Sect to obtain a spot—as a Chosen Son, if successful, could grow rapidly and might achieve immortality at any time, consequently surpassing Taiyi Mountain in strength—he would not engage in unwise actions or oppose for the sake of opposition.

To do so would not only cost him his dignity but also make him the laughingstock of other Great Powers!

Now he could only hope that the information from Li Miaozhen was not comprehensive enough, and he anticipated that his own disciples could gather sufficient intelligence from the Otherworld and return soon, ideally securing a spot for a Chosen Son. Only then could he alleviate the psychological pressure on the people of Taiyi Mountain.

“Good, let Daoist Fellow Tianyan and others deduce these messages. The girl’s merits will be considered provisional, pending further deliberation after the deductions by the fellows!”

Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan nodded slightly, finalizing the matter.

Before the information was verified, they naturally would not finalize any contributions. If Li Miaozhen’s information proved inaccurate and a reward was given prematurely, it would be unfair to other disciples participating in the trial.

Of course, there was no objection to this, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Mituom Buddha then turned his gaze to Qin Feng and asked, “Young friend, have you obtained any information?”

Qin Feng bowed hastily, “I have indeed gained something!”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, everyone’s interest was piqued; they all turned their eyes towards Qin Feng, somewhat expecting that this youngster might have also unearthed some useful artifacts.

Qin Feng spoke, “Unlike my senior sister who went to the Divine Realm, I ventured into the Lower World to explore the Netherworld.”

“Netherworld?”

Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang, upon hearing this, showed a hint of interest and asked, “What kind of place is the Netherworld there? Is there a river similar to the Netherworld emerging?”

“Uh…”

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, pondered, and chose to tell the truth, “To report back to Ghost Ancestor, there is no river of the undead. A Spring of Death had indeed emerged there once, but after countless years, it amounted to just about a foot in diameter!”

“So be it.”

Ghost Ancestor shook his head in disappointment, “It seems that the Netherworld lacks the substance which is why the Spring of Death stagnated in its growth and lost any further potential.

Such a pity, such a pity. I hoped that if it were a powerful Netherworld, it could refine the origin and integrate into Biluo, recreating the Netherworld for Biluo and allowing countless beings to re-enter reincarnation. Now, it seems we must abandon this plan.”

With that, he lost interest in the Undead Realm mentioned by Qin Feng.

Such places of death fell far short of allowing him to recreate the Netherworld Hell, being nothing more than an ordinary Land of Undead at best.

Yet, this dialogue left Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen’s hearts throbbing, their eyes filled with awe upon looking at the Ghost Ancestor.

To think that Ghost Ancestor harbored such ambitions, intending to create a realm of the Netherworld within Biluo to reshape reincarnation, granting countless beings a way to re-enter the cycle, ensuring that their souls find solace!

If achieved, such an act would truly be meritorious, worthy of veneration by countless beings!

It seems, although perceived as cold and ruthless, often neglecting the management of the Ten Directions Ghost City, Ghost Ancestor might have been influenced by innumerable wars and deaths during the calamitous period; deep within his heart, he still harbors a profound concern for the countless beings of Biluo, no wonder he could stand alongside figures like Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan—truly a formidable figure of his generation!

“Continue speaking!”

Mituom Buddha indicated for Qin Feng to proceed.

“Yes.”

Qin Feng nodded and continued, “That world is divided into three realms and nine nations, and while the three layers of the world are dependent on the World Tree, the connection between them is a Rainbow Bridge made of endless Rainbow Light, serving as a bridge between the worlds.

In the Lower World, the strongest in the Undead Realm is the Death Goddess Hel, she is the youngest daughter of the Giant Clan’s Trickster God, Loki, born with an anomaly, half-dead and half-alive, with infinite Divine Power.

Besides commanding a ferocious Hellhound, she also controls an endless army of the undead…”

“In the northern Mist Country, a land of ice and snow, one of the three great Divine Springs of that world, the Unending Spring, Hvamir, originates there, and it is also the location where the World Tree is rooted.”

The Mist Country was dominated by an evil dragon named Nidhogg, who, along with its numerous descendants, ceaselessly gnawed at the roots of the World Tree at the Unending Spring. The day those roots were completely severed would herald the arrival of the catastrophic event known as the Twilight of the Gods.

By then, the three realms would fall into utter perdition, and flames would burst forth directly from the Lower World, reducing all worlds and the Upper Divine Country to ashes!”

When the discussion of the evil dragon gnawing on the World Tree came up, the great powers in the hall did not take much notice; but as soon as Qin Feng mentioned the Twilight of the Gods, it immediately caused a stir.

“What did you say?”

“The Twilight of the Gods? A world-ending calamity?”

All the great powers turned their gaze towards Qin Feng, showing surprise on their faces.

They had already been quite pleased with the news brought back by Li Miaozhen, thinking that the Beast Taming Sect had really struck it lucky this time with little Li Miaozhen infiltrating the Divine Country and obtaining so much information. If all went well, she would surely secure a place as a Chosen Son.

But now, having heard what Qin Feng said, they realized that though his information differed from Li Miaozhen’s, it was even more valuable. And furthermore, they could hear many secrets from him that Li Miaozhen didn’t even know, which somewhat astonished them.

Especially the prospect of such a world-altering calamity like the Twilight of the Gods was of great interest to these great powers.

One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be, that without our intervention, they are about to unleash an apocalyptic calamity upon themselves?”

“What the predecessor said is true. Odin, who once led the Aesir Clan to kill the Giant Ancestor Ymir, thus becoming the King of Gods and taking over the resource-rich Upper World, also formed a deadly vendetta with the Giant Clan.

The god of tricks, Loki, was originally one of the strongest among the giants, and somehow managed to earn Odin’s complete trust through some scheme, not only allowing him into the Divine Country but also becoming sworn brothers with him.”

Qin Feng continued, “However, these two surely appear united only in appearance and have their own schemes. According to my senior sister, Loki’s reputation among the gods of the Divine Country isn’t good at all. He is often arguing with other Divine Clans, and uses various cunning plans to frame other divines. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Loki has three progeny. One is the evil wolf Fenrir, who was shackled by Odin with a Demon Chain on a remote island.

The Mortal Giant Python, Yemeng Jiade, was thrown into the bottomless deep sea by Odin himself at a young age, eventually growing into a monstrous creature so large that it is said to encircle the Midgard World completely.

As for his youngest daughter, Hel, Odin cast her out early into the Netherworld to fend for herself.

Apart from the Frost Giants and Hill Giants of the Midgard World, the Fire Giants of the Lower World are also a major force against the Divine Clans, along with the Death Goddess Hel of the Undead Realm, and the evil dragon of the Mist Country. All of these beings are antagonistic towards the Divine Clans.

It’s just that the Aesir Clan enjoys the favor of that world, making these opponents difficult to oppose. Their only chance of victory lies in severing the roots of the World Tree, cutting off the source of Qi Fortune for the Aesir Clan, and only then do they stand a chance of winning.”

At this point, Qin Feng reached for several Imprint Talismans and took one out, saying, “I once risked a journey to the Unending Spring to investigate, and this contains imprints of the Unending Spring and the condition of the World Tree’s roots being damaged by the evil dragon.”

“Oh?”

Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan glanced at him, nodded slightly, and touched the Imprint Talisman with a Spirit Light. Instantly, the imprints inside were displayed.

The great powers in the hall all looked up, first seeing a towering pillar that reached from earth to heaven.

As the view zoomed in, they could then see that it was a tremendously large tree root.

Seeing this, the great powers felt a hint of novelty. Although the Cosmic Great Thousand had given rise to countless worlds, a Divine Tree capable of supporting an entire world was still something they were witnessing for the first time.
