CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 147: LITTLE PIXIU, FAME SOARS

A century passed quickly.

Senior Sister had already left a few days earlier, saying she was on a mission to deal decisively with the encircled Demon Clan members.

That night, Chen Jiuge witnessed a magnificent scene.

From various Hunting Grounds, blood-colored fireworks of varying sizes rose, tearing through the pitch-black night.

"Myriad Beasts Sect, my Aoli Clan will remember this!" an angry voice reverberated throughout the Hundred Games Realm.

"Remember it? Then let me give you something more to remember!" a booming voice full of disdainful mockery retorted.

Countless streaks of light appeared in the skies above the Hundred Games Realm, followed closely by Dharma Images of Fierce Beasts. The initial voice screamed, then vanished without a trace.

Chen Jiuge stared blankly at the sky, deeply shaken for a long time. What level of battle was this?

Wen Ruo, who had appeared behind Chen Jiuge, spoke softly, "Shocking, isn’t it? That’s Ancestor Tianhuo’s Ten Evils Great Method. The opponent must have been a Great Demon God of the Aoli Clan, equivalent to our side’s Immortal Daluo Golden Immortals."

"Senior Sister, did the Grand Ancestor win?" Chen Jiuge asked, already knowing the answer.

"Of course. Ancestor Tianhuo’s Ten Evils Great Method is one of the top techniques even in the entire Heavenly Realm. Furthermore, he commands the true Ten Evils, and his strength is unfathomable. The Demon Clan’s Great Demon God is only average in strength, especially when compared to Ancestor Tianhuo."

The Dharma Images of the Ten Evils had long vanished, but the marks they left in the skies above the Hundred Games Realm lingered for an exceptionally long time. In the countless years that followed, these marks became a heaven-sent opportunity within the Hundred Games Realm, from which many geniuses comprehended powerful Combat Techniques.

「Back to the sect!」

Whether Disciples, Stewards, or even the Elders, everyone at the Myriad Beasts Sect felt immense joy at this moment. What foreign land could ever compare to the Myriad Beasts Sect? Besides, the Disciples who survived this time had, more or less, all reaped considerable rewards. They were eager to return and exchange their gains for resources, advance their Cultivation, and take another small step towards becoming immortal.

"Senior Brother Chen, please take these two small Secret Realms. After all, they’re not anything precious. You’ve helped our Jin Family cultivate so many Spiritual Beasts, which has added several Loose Immortals to our ranks. These small tokens are truly insignificant in comparison," Jin Yuanbao graciously handed over the cores of the two Secret Realms to Chen Jiuge.

Chen Jiuge, hearing Jin Yuanbao say this, accepted them without ceremony.

Apart from the initial ten years, the cultivators had calmed down considerably over the subsequent ninety. This was primarily because a significant number of Stewards had failed their Tribulations. Of course, this wasn’t to say the Spiritual Beasts Chen Jiuge cultivated weren’t strong; rather, their own foundations were simply too weak. Forget enduring seventy-two Heavenly Tribulations—even with Spiritual Beasts cultivated by Chen Jiuge, only half of them could withstand fifty.

This also made those cultivators understand that one’s own strength was fundamental. Spiritual Beasts, even Lifebound Spirit Beasts, were merely external aids. Before the Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation, all beings were equal.

However, the Stewards who failed yet were fortunate enough to survive did not complain or attribute their failure to Chen Jiuge. Instead, they were extremely grateful to him. If not for that slight increase in our Spiritual Beasts’ strength, we likely wouldn’t have survived at all.

As for those Stewards who failed and perished, there was little to be said; after all, they were dead. And as for whether their families would come seeking trouble—did they truly think Chen Jiuge’s status was merely for show?

With a Grotto Heaven Magic Treasure and two small Secret Realms, Chen Jiuge returned fully laden.

"Finally back," Chen Jiuge remarked with a sigh of nostalgia as he looked at the familiar Eden Garden.

Even Moluo Shaye, who was working with a sullen expression, seemed much more agreeable. Chen Jiuge greeted him with a smile, "Hasn’t your family come to redeem you yet?"

Moluo Shaye walked away, his face dark. That guy is really annoying, always bringing up the sorest subjects!

To be honest, life in the Heavenly Realm is actually quite pleasant, Moluo Shaye mused. The scenery here is something one would never see in the Demon Abyss. There’s no endless fighting day in and day out, only tranquility. Plus, there are many adorable Spiritual Beast cubs. I’m actually quite satisfied with my current life... Of course, it would be even better without that annoying human.

"Junior Brother, I’ve spoken to the Second Elder about merging your two small Secret Realms. He’ll come over later to assist you, but you’ll need to cultivate a Spiritual Beast for him," Wen Ruo said, looking at the Communication Talisman in her hand.

"Thank you, Senior Sister. Cultivating a Spiritual Beast is a small matter. As long as it’s not a True Immortal-level Spiritual Beast, I can handle it," Chen Jiuge declared confidently.

"Alright, then I’ll take Li He back first. This little girl has roamed the Hundred Games Realm for over a hundred years and has made significant progress lately. I need to see if she has strayed from the correct path and guide her back in time," Wen Ruo said with some concern, glancing at the quiet Li He behind her.

Wen Ruo thought, This little girl hardly ever speaks. Even when she arrived in the Hundred Games Realm, she journeyed alone. If not for the Life Plate confirming she was still alive, I would have seriously suspected she had perished long ago.

First, Chen Jiuge placed the Spiritual Beasts from the small Secret Realms and his Personal Cave Heaven into suitable areas. Only then did he attend to the precious Spirit Plants.

The area with the richest Spiritual Energy in the entire Eden Garden was around the Spirit Gathering Array situated above the Spirit Lake. The Spiritual Liquid there had already formed a small lake of its own, creating the perfect environment for Spirit Plant growth.

However, I must prevent the Spiritual Beasts from sneaking off to eat the Spirit Plants. It seems I’ll have to adjust the Cycle Star Formation to establish a protected zone for them, Chen Jiuge mused.

As the Cycle Star Formation activated, Chen Jiuge could see the myriad stars in the sky, even though it was daytime. A dense Barrier of starlight manifested above the small lake of Spiritual Liquid.
