Li Feiyu saw the ancient cauldron sweep out a large amount of green silk, pulling the blood cocoon into it, and then the cauldron lid flew over, covering it tightly.
Afterward, most of the sudden Immortal Masters left, with only three Great Immortal Masters and the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden remaining.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Sun, you two still need to act as Protectors here for a few more days."
"As for Fellow Daoist Hu, are you planning to stay here, or…?"
Great Immortal Master Hu said, "Recently, I heard that Han has been acting unusually, no longer high-profile, and has disappeared in Tianlan. I plan to personally investigate various places."
"I don't believe that with my Divine Sense as a Great Immortal Master, I still can't find him!"
The Purple-haired beautiful woman cupped her hands and said, "Alright, then the invader will be left to Fellow Daoist Hu. However, I heard there's another one, whose Divine Ability is also not small. He annihilated Fellow Daoist He's Physical Body and even severed his Divine Soul connection with the Sacred Insect."
Great Immortal Master Hu said, "I am also aware of this matter. He seems to have mastered numerous methods for cultivating Sacred Insects and can command tens of thousands of Spirit Insects."
"However, they are still quite far from being mature."
"If I encounter him, I will find a way to capture him and force him to reveal these methods."
The others all nodded slightly. If they obtained this cultivation method, mass-producing Sacred Insects and cultivating them to maturity would greatly assist in unifying Heavenly South and other regions in the future.
Li Feiyu, dozens of miles away from them, stroked his chin, his eyes glowing.
"Still need a few days? Then I'll wait a bit longer."
Days passed, and Great Immortal Master Hu did not find Li Feiyu. Instead, he discovered Han Li. After a fierce battle, he severely wounded Han Li, forcing him to use his Blood Shadow Escape to flee.
After escaping, he first spat out a mouthful of blood.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and found a secluded mountain range to hide in.
"If it were one-on-one, Li Feiyu, you wouldn't be in such a state. With your Divine Ability, even if you're not an opponent for a Great Immortal Master, you could confront him for a while, and escaping with your escape technique wouldn't be a problem."
"However, the one he called Han…"
Han Li's face was a bit pale. "Besides Senior Brother Li, who else would say that!"
Divine Lord Monarch Soul Divergence laughed heartily, "Li Feiyu is truly interesting. This is clearly him setting you up. How about it, do you want to return the favor?"
"How to return the favor? Our strength isn't equal. If it were him facing this situation, he definitely wouldn't end up like me."
"Ultimately, my strength is still too weak!"
"That's true. Then you can slowly recover from your injuries!"
Divine Lord Monarch Soul Divergence fell silent. Han Li sat cross-legged with closed eyes, beginning to regulate his internal Qi.
The sudden palm strike from the Great Immortal Master just now contained five types of spiritual power, almost shattering his internal organs.
"It's similar to Five Elements Divine Power, but not entirely, and vastly different from Senior Brother Li's."
Han Li shook his head and muttered, "It seems I still need to find a Body Refining Cultivation Technique in the future!"
Speaking of Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, Han Li thought of the mysterious Yao Race Body Refining Cultivation Technique on the fragment. Unfortunately, it was incomplete, and Han Li dared not Cultivate it casually. If he ruined himself, the gains would not outweigh the losses.
Great Immortal Master Hu searched everywhere but found no trace of Han Li, feeling a sense of regret.
However, having been struck by his Great Five Elements Immortal Subduing Hand, even if he wasn't dead, he was certainly severely wounded and wouldn't recover without several years of recuperation.
Looking around, Great Immortal Master Hu remembered something and immediately flew towards the Holy Temple where the Sacred Beast had descended.
If he remembered correctly, the Sacred Beast could track Gold Devouring Bugs, even if they were inside a Spirit Beast Pouch.
"Three days have passed. The Sacred Beast should have successfully cast its body by now."
A green light streaked across the sky, disappearing in a blink.
Just as Great Immortal Master Hu flew over Li Feiyu's head, Li Feiyu opened his eyes, and his Divine Sense slowly spread out.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, has the Sacred Beast successfully cast its body?"
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Hu, you've come at just the right time. In a moment, the Sacred Beast will successfully cast its body."
Great Immortal Master Hu's face showed joy, and he waited quietly with the others.
Not long after, the lid of the ancient cauldron shot into the sky, and a pillar of green light erupted from within, soaring towards the heavens, accompanied by a strange roar that was neither like a cow nor a flood dragon.
A miniature figure flew out from the ancient cauldron, rapidly expanding against the wind, transforming into a three to four zhang tall crimson Demon Beast with a bull's head and a flood dragon's body.
Soon, a layer of misty green light emanated from its body. After it was completely enveloped, ordinary Cultivators could not clearly see its appearance.
"Is that the Tianlan Holy Beast?" Li Feiyu's eyes flickered with blue light as he muttered.
The three Great Immortal Masters and the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden all bowed slightly to the Tianlan Holy Beast to show their respect.
However, looking at the Sacred Beast, its beastly nature was untamed, not like a powerful being from the Upper Realm descending and possessing it. Li Feiyu guessed that the powerful being's Divided Soul might still be in slumber.
Breaking through realms is not an easy task. Even if a powerful being from the Upper Realm sends out many Divided Souls, the vast majority might die on the spot.
Upon arriving in the Lower Realm, it would certainly need time to adapt.
Silver patterns appeared on the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden's forehead, and she conversed with the Tianlan Holy Beast in the air using some ancient language.
The Tianlan Holy Beast looked at her, exchanged a few words, and then quieted down.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, have you found any clues about the two individuals?" the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden asked.
Great Immortal Master Hu shook his head. "Not Han, but I did encounter the other person. A Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator. I led a few Fellow Daoists to attack together, but we failed to capture him, and he escaped."
"However, he didn't get away unscathed. He was hit by my Great Five Elements Immortal Subduing Hand. If he's not dead, he's severely wounded. I came here to use the Sacred Beast's Divine Ability to track him down."
"Only half a day has passed. He is probably still hiding somewhere recuperating, which is a good time for us to act."
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden thought for a moment. "This is feasible!"
"With the Sacred Beast's Divine Ability, even if his Gold Devouring Bugs are in a Spirit Beast Pouch, he will definitely not escape detection."
Afterward, the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden conversed with the Sacred Beast again. The Sacred Beast snorted, and the green light around its body intensified slightly but quickly stopped, its eyes showing surprise.
After communicating with it, the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden couldn't help but exclaim, "What? He's nearby? Within dozens of miles?"
Hearing this, the other three Great Immortal Masters also changed their expressions, each sending out their Divine Sense, covering a hundred-mile radius in an instant.
Li Feiyu's lips curved slightly. So he was discovered. Well, there was indeed no need to hide anymore.
He transformed into a golden streak of light and flew out from somewhere, appearing before them in a blink of an eye.
"How is it you?!" Great Immortal Master Hu's face was ashen and extremely ugly. He thought of something and said, "Do you also have Gold Devouring Bugs?!"
"If it weren't for the Sacred Beast's special Divine Ability, within the same cultivation stage, those who could see through my concealment and aura-restraining techniques would be few and far between in the entire Human Realm."
The Clear and elegant young man's expression was serious. He repeatedly probed with his Divine Sense, but it was repelled before it could get close.
Hearing their conversation, he spoke, "Fellow Daoist Hu, is he the Cultivator named Han?"
Great Immortal Master Hu nodded heavily.
The Purple-haired beautiful woman swayed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are truly bold. Even if you are a Late Stage Cultivator, facing the three of us and our Saintess simultaneously, your chances of winning are probably slim."
"One person's strength is indeed somewhat difficult."
Li Feiyu admitted frankly, smiling slightly, "However, how much do you know about my methods?"
"No need for nonsense, let's surround him first."
As Great Immortal Master Hu spoke, the other two Great Immortal Masters ascended with him, surrounding Li Feiyu in the center. Li Feiyu remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden and the strange Demon Beast with a bull's head and a flood dragon's body in mid-air.
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden leaped onto the Sacred Beast's back, flying to the same height as the three Great Immortal Masters, completing the encirclement.
"Attacking me will come at a price. Are you ready?"
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden said, "You have killed so many high-ranking Immortal Masters of our Tuwu clan; we are already mortal enemies. Today, you must die!"
Li Feiyu shook his head, summoning Crimson Crow, eight mature Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions, and a large golden insect cloud, densely packed with enormous, fierce, and ferocious Gold Devouring Bugs.
"Crimson Crow, the Saintess is yours."
Li Feiyu flicked a drop of thousand-year longevity liquid into its mouth. Crimson Crow happily flapped its wings, stirring up a violent gust of wind, and then flew towards the Saintess.
The Tianlan Holy Maiden herself possessed considerable Divine Ability, powerful Magic Treasure, and controlled the Tuwu Tribe's Sacred Cauldron. When activated, she could barely contend with a Late Stage Cultivator.
Crimson Crow was also at this level, but with the burning and eruption of its longevity liquid, it was enough to steadily suppress her.
With its speed, the Saintess wouldn't be able to escape midway.
Seeing this, the Purple-haired beautiful woman attacked, wanting to strike, but suddenly a purple light flashed, and the largest of the eight Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions blocked her attack.
Although it wasn't at full strength, her attack only left shallow marks on the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, which greatly startled her.
Constantly nourished by Li Feiyu's longevity liquid, the leader of this Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion had grown to four zhang in size, and its intelligence had also greatly increased.
It let out a sound. Li Feiyu had a Divine Sense connection with it, so he naturally understood its meaning and smiled, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you."
The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion revealed a ferocious look, and purple mist began to appear around its body. It let out a long cry, and the other Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions immediately surrounded the Purple-haired beautiful woman, not daring to move easily.
For the rest, Li Feiyu pointed his finger at the massive insect cloud above his head and lightly shouted, "Condense!"
With the leader of the Gold Devouring Bugs as the core, the other Gold Devouring Bugs condensed and transformed into a giant Devouring Gold Bug several tens of zhang in size.
It exuded an incredibly fierce aura, startling everyone present.
It charged towards the Clear and elegant young man. Despite its massive body, its speed was extremely fast.
The Clear and elegant young man's face showed bitterness as he continuously retreated.
In a blink of an eye, only Li Feiyu and Great Immortal Master Hu remained in a one-on-one confrontation.
Before Li Feiyu gave the command to act, Crimson Crow, the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions, and the Gold Devouring Bugs merely pressured them without truly attacking.
"I don't like killing, so I'll ask first: hand over the cultivation method for mature Gold Devouring Bugs, and let me keep your Sacred Beast for a while. Agree, and I won't attack."
The Purple-haired beautiful woman and the Clear and elegant young man showed bitter expressions. Facing these Spirit Insects, they truly had no confidence in defeating them.
Escaping probably wouldn't be a big problem.
However, in this situation, they probably couldn't escape either. If they left, the remaining ones would truly have no way out.
Great Immortal Master Hu also hadn't expected this outcome. The three of them simultaneously looked at the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden.
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden spoke, "We can provide the cultivation method for mature Gold Devouring Bugs, but you must exchange it with your cultivation method."
"As for the Sacred Beast, impossible!"
Li Feiyu's expression turned cold. "It seems you haven't grasped the situation. Attack!"
At his command, the other three parties simultaneously attacked with their Magical Artifacts.
Crimson Crow's speed was unimaginably fast, and its body was engulfed in blazing Sun True Fire. The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden had little chance of evading, so she proactively attacked.
She raised her hand and activated the Sacred Cauldron, from which endless green sand flew out, covering the approaching Crimson Crow.
Crimson Crow ignored it and charged straight ahead.
Its body was immediately covered by the green sand.
Under the Saintess's activation, each grain of green sand possessed considerable impact force, and a series of clinking sounds immediately erupted within the sand cloud.
Of course, the Sun True Fire was not to be trifled with. Crimson Crow continuously resisted with its powerful defense, while the green sand was constantly melted, losing its connection with the Silver-Robed Holy Maiden.
Her expression changed, and she immediately dispersed the sand cloud.
Crimson Crow protected itself with its wings. At this moment, its wings vibrated, and a large amount of molten green sand liquid splashed out.
Its gaze was arrogant, overbearing, and unmatched.
With a cry, it charged again. The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden withdrew the green sand and activated the Sacred Cauldron to fiercely strike.
The attack power of the Sacred Cauldron was something even a Great Cultivator would not dare to easily face.
With it in hand, the Saintess could be regarded as a newly promoted Great Cultivator.
Crimson Crow was not truly reckless. Seeing the extraordinary nature of this cauldron, after a glide, it soared into the sky, and then its third foot, covered in golden light and flames, fiercely crashed into the Sacred Cauldron.
Bang ~
The space erupted with violent vibrations, like the sound of a thunderous drum echoing in all directions.
Crimson Crow was knocked back a distance, and the Sacred Cauldron also swept back.
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden spent a considerable amount of effort to stabilize it again and retrieve it to her side.
At this moment, the Tianlan Holy Beast beneath her feet spewed out a stream of green Yao fire. Crimson Crow showed no fear, opening its mouth and erupting with a power to devour the sky, directly swallowing it.
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden's expression changed slightly.
Daring to directly devour other flames, this firebird must possess an extremely terrifying devouring Divine Ability.
This secret technique was a Legacy Crimson Crow had obtained at the Three-Legged Fire Crow Holy Land on Fire Mulberry Island, named the Myriad Flame Devouring Heaven Art, which refines myriad flames to stimulate the True Spirit Bloodline to awaken.
This refining process was not simple, and a slight carelessness could lead to great danger.
But it was very suitable for Crimson Crow.
Its True Spirit Bloodline was not weak. Relying on its Bloodline Power and the Sun True Fire, as long as the flames were not too powerful, it could suppress and quickly refine them.
This was also one of the reasons for its rapid Cultivation speed.
The Sacred Cauldron had strong attack power and could also protect its user. Crimson Crow was evenly matched with it.
But soon, it began to burn longevity liquid, not in a sudden blaze, but slowly, as fuel, continuously increasing its power.
The Silver-Robed Holy Maiden gradually sensed that something was wrong. She patted her Storage Pouch, and over ten mature Gold Devouring Bugs flew out.
On the Purple-haired beautiful woman's side, facing eight mature Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions, each extremely fast and possessing terrifying venom, she could only continuously cast Divine Abilities to repel them, not daring to let them get close easily.
Once enveloped by the poisonous mist, she knew she would not fare well.
