In the Star Dou Great Forest, the two brothers were immersed in the joy of receiving their rewards, while in the distant Spirit City, in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace...
The atmosphere had become unusually strange and heavy.
Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Gold Crocodile Douluo, and the others no longer had the heart to pay attention to how much stronger Da Ming and Er Ming had become.
Their attention was entirely focused on that ranking number.
Twenty-second place, Titan Giant Ape.
Twenty-first place, Sky Azure Bull Python.
Adding the previous twenty-third place, Devil Spirit Great White Shark.
These three were already the most top-tier 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts known to their Spirit Hall intelligence network in this era!
But, they were only ranked at the very bottom of the list?!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo swallowed, his voice a little hoarse.
"Big Brother, did you notice?"
"According to the rules of the heavenly screen, only Spirit Beasts with a Domain can be on the list."
"And generally speaking, only Spirit Beasts whose cultivation has reached 100,000 years are likely to awaken a Domain."
Gold Crocodile Douluo stretched out a finger, trembling as he gestured: "That means there are a total of twenty-three spots on this list..."
"Does that mean there are at least twenty-three 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts hidden on this continent and in the seas?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Twenty-three?!
What kind of concept was that?
One must know that in the perception of human Spirit Masters, 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
The entire Spirit Hall's recorded total did not exceed the number of fingers on one hand!
But now, the heavenly screen was telling them that there were twenty-three that merely possessed Domains!
What about those without Domains?
"Not only that."
Qian Daoliu said gravely, his expression solemn: "Don't forget, the heavenly screen has another rule."
"Only one of the same race can be on the list!"
Qian Daoliu's gaze swept over everyone, his tone carrying a deep sense of apprehension.
"What does this mean?"
"It means that perhaps in some races, there is more than one 100,000-Year Spirit Beast!"
Bibi Dong also recovered from her previous shock, and upon hearing Qian Daoliu's analysis, a hint of surprise flashed in her purple eyes.
"If that's truly the case..."
"Then our human Spirit Masters' understanding of the Spirit Beast World is merely the tip of the iceberg!"
"What kind of monsters are still hidden deep within the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"What exists in the forbidden zone of life in the Extreme North?"
"And that endless ocean..."
For a moment, a fear called 'unknown' enveloped the hearts of all high-ranking Spirit Hall officials.
At this moment, they all realized that Spirit Hall had prided itself on knowing the continent well, but now, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well!
Not to mention the vast sea, even the core area of the Extreme North, even a powerhouse like Qian Daoliu had never set foot in it.
The living environment in the Extreme North was much harsher than in the Star Dou Great Forest, which could lead to the inference that the number of 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts in its core area must be higher than in Star Dou!
Because the place where they usually hunted 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts was Star Dou; they wouldn't even consider the sea or the Extreme North.
"We must re-evaluate the threat of Spirit Beasts!"
Gui Mei said in a hoarse voice.
"If these Spirit Beasts were to unite and launch a beast tide..."
No one dared to continue that thought.
Because that consequence, even Spirit Hall, which possessed Quasi-God level powerhouses, would likely find it difficult to bear... Canglan Academy, back mountain.
Space subtly twisted, like a stone dropped into a calm lake.
The next instant, Lin Yuan and his group appeared out of thin air.
"Little freak... you..."
"You've become a god now, your strength has truly undergone a qualitative change!"
Dugu Bo's tone was filled with disbelief.
"From Spirit City to here, it's thousands of miles, right?"
"It hasn't even been a minute?!"
"This old man felt like it was just the blink of an eye, and we're back? That's too fast!"
Chen Xin nodded silently beside him, his Seven Kill Sword subtly humming.
He hadn't even felt the flow of space, and he was already in a different place.
Is this the realm of a god?
Ignoring distance, a thousand miles in an inch.
Lin Yuan merely stretched lazily upon hearing this, walked to the familiar recliner, lay down, and let out a comfortable sigh.
"It's alright, actually, it could be faster."
"Mainly, I was carrying so many of you, and I was afraid your bodies couldn't withstand the pressure of spatial tearing, so I slowed down a bit."
Dugu Bo: "..."
Chen Xin: "..."
Listen, are those human words?
Slowed down a bit?
Lin Yuan's words were not an exaggeration at all; the Immortal Wheel Eye was already a divine artifact, and not just an ordinary one, with mastery over space reaching a state of perfection.
In addition, the xuanyuan sword also possessed the ability to tear through space.
This minute was still considered slow... On the other side.
A Rou was holding Xiao Wu's hand, her eyes still carrying a bewildered look, as if she had just returned from another World.
She looked at the surrounding scenery, which resembled a paradise, and then at the group of powerful humans before her.
"Xiao Wu, you must have suffered all these years, haven't you?"
A Rou tenderly caressed her daughter's cheek.
"Not at all! Not even a little!"
Xiao Wu shook her head like a rattle-drum, her face beaming with a happy smile.
"Mom, I'm living very well now!"
"With Teacher here, no one dares to bully me!"
The mother and daughter were just having a heart-to-heart when suddenly, the golden heavenly screen in the sky glowed brightly again.
Xiao Wu subconsciously looked up, just in time to see the recently announced twenty-first and twenty-second places.
Titan Giant Ape - Er Ming.
Sky Azure Bull Python - Da Ming.
"Huh?"
Xiao Wu's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Da Ming and Er Ming are on the list too!"
"But why are their rankings so low?"
She scratched her head, a little puzzled.
"One is twenty-first, the other is twenty-second, they're at the very bottom."
"They're the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts!"
In Xiao Wu's impression, Da Ming and Er Ming's strength had long surpassed hers during her Spirit Beast period, so why were they at the bottom of this list?
A Rou also looked confused, but she suddenly thought of a possibility.
Because in the Star Dou Great Forest, the location of Da Ming and Er Ming was merely the edge of the core area.
In the true core region, that Land of Great Danger, there were also so-called Fierce Beasts!
Originally, her husband had gone into the Land of Great Danger alone and never returned.
Lin Yuan heard Xiao Wu's murmur, closed his eyes, and leisurely began to explain:
"It's not strange."
"Da Ming and Er Ming's cultivation, while strong in human eyes, is actually only average in the circle of truly top-tier Spirit Beasts."
"They are only a little over 100,000 years of cultivation, not yet 200,000."
"Moreover, their Domain development is relatively low; they rely more on innate talent and instinct and haven't seriously developed it, which led to their lower ranking."
