Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Moreover, it did not care for your attacks at all.

Even when Zhou Chun released both of his Spirit Pets into the battle, the fight proved to be extremely difficult and strenuous, pushing him to the brink of giving up several times.

In the end, it was only after using more than a dozen high-grade first-tier Talismans he had prepared that he and his two Spirit Pets managed to grind away the Puppet\'s Protective Barrier.

Passing the third challenge signified that Zhou Chun\'s strength had reached the elite Disciple level of the Heavenly Spirit Sect from thousands of years ago.

For someone from a minor family lineage, this was quite an affirmation of his abilities.

Unfortunately, even after passing the third challenge, he still received no reward.

There was no helping it; thousands of years were simply too lengthy a span of time.

Without anyone replenishing the trial\'s rewards over the centuries, the rewards that had been originally allocated for the first three challenges had long been claimed by predecessors.

Only if someone could break through the fourth challenge, or even the final fifth challenge, might they be able to receive item rewards.

But Zhou Chun was not willing to bet on that possibility.

Just one third challenge had forced him to use all his strength, except for two instances of "Xinjin Sword Qi" that he had refrained from using.

Who knew how much more difficult the fourth challenge would be!

Leaving through the exit beside the arena, Zhou Chun was quickly teleported to a courtyard with fresh air.

Though the courtyard was not large, it finally had flowers and grass and looked like a regular courtyard.

This was the resting place for those participating in the trial.

After surveying the environment in the courtyard, Zhou Chun sat down on the spot and began to meditate to recover his Mana.

This was an advantage he had over other Cultivators.

Even within the "Heavenly Spirit Trial" grounds, the nature\'s spiritual energy was still tainted by the Evil Qi.

Thus, the majority of Cultivators participating in the trial did not dare to meditate to recover their Mana here and had to rely on pre-prepared Elixirs like Rejuvenation Pills to restore it.

As a result, they often couldn\'t keep their Mana at peak levels at all times like Zhou Chun could.

After waiting about a day, the courtyard door where Zhou Chun was located suddenly opened automatically, revealing a white light screen.

"Has the multiple participant trial finally begun?"

Zhou Chun, who had long since recovered, abruptly stood up, his gaze intense as he looked at the light screen outside the door.

He then stepped out without any hesitation.

Following another dizzy spell caused by teleportation, Zhou Chun arrived in a forest.

He was standing on a small altar made of stone, now severely weathered by wind and rain, with a nearby Stele, its inscription also heavily eroded.

But fortunately, it was still mostly legible.

According to the inscription on the Stele, this challenge was called the "Battle of the Land of High Tower," and at the center of this territory stood a seven-tiered tower.

Only by collecting seven "Heavenly Spirit Orders" could one approach and unlock the tower barrier to enter and choose a treasure from its collection.

In the trials previously conducted by the Heavenly Spirit Sect, if someone was defeated in this challenge, they had to hand over their "Heavenly Spirit Order" to the victor.

But now, without the supervision of higher realm Cultivators, the participants would likely prefer to slay their competitors to obtain their "Heavenly Spirit Orders".

"I wonder how many challengers will enter this place this time!"

Zhou Chun\'s eyes sparkled as he seemed to envision the scene of challengers hunting each other for their "Heavenly Spirit Orders".

After lingering in the area for a short while, Zhou Chun slapped his Spirit Beast Pouch, releasing the Silver Lightning Python Baibai to scout ahead, and began to explore the forest.

In truth, this "Land of High Tower" did not prohibit flying; it only limited the altitude.

At about several hundred yards above ground, there was a cyan-red Formation light screen, and as long as one\'s flying height did not exceed that light screen, it was permissible.

However, knowing that this trial\'s participants were to hunt each other down, unless there was some emergency situation, or one had extreme confidence in their strength, it was better not to fly too openly.

Otherwise, no one would carelessly fly into the sky, exposing their existence.

Although Zhou Chun was extraordinarily strong, he did not dare to do such a dangerous thing.

So it was still best to travel honestly on foot.

After all, the "Heavenly Spirit Trial" lasted as long as half a month, providing ample time for the participants to explore these trial grounds.

And indeed, while walking through the woods, Zhou Chun rather easily found some Spirit Grass and Elixirs.

Beneath an ancient tree covered in old vines, Baibai, the Silver Lightning Python, spat lightning bolts, relying on the mighty power of his Thunder Element Spells, easily killed a Black Poison Spider Demon Beast of the same first-class superior rank beneath the tree.

It was then that Zhou Chun climbed up the tree and harvested a dozen dark red Spirit Fruits from a reddish-brown vine.

This dark red Spirit Fruit was called the "Red Tendril Heart Fruit," a rare and precious Elixir scarcely seen in the outside world, each valued at twenty to thirty Spirit Coins.

This item was the finest Elixir Zhou Chun had obtained so far in the "Land of High Tower."

After harvesting the Elixirs, Zhou Chun continued on his way.

He had briefly flown up earlier to check the direction and vaguely spotted the existence of the seven-story tower, which seemed to be located on a high mountain hundreds of miles away.

Now he was heading in that direction.

Zhou Chun believed he was not the only one doing this; other participants who came to these trial grounds would surely choose to head there as well.

An hour later, Zhou Chun reached a low-lying area in the mountains, a valley between two peaks.

The path within this valley was extremely difficult to traverse, with slippery moss covering the ground and thorny plants everywhere.

After walking in it for a while, Zhou Chun could no longer bear such an annoying place and immediately took a short flight to a nearby mountain, preferring to take the longer route over the mountains and ridges.

Hardly had he walked on the mountain for a while when he heard a digging sound, and also felt a faint tremor on the ground.

This made his expression tighten. He immediately put away the Silver Lightning Python and silently executed the Hidden Cicada Breathing Technique, heading towards the source of the noise.

After travelling over a hundred yards, Zhou Chun spotted the creator of the noise.

It was a strange Demon Beast covered in black fur, with the body of a bear and the head of a wolf.

"It\'s actually a Wolf Bear!"

A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Chun\'s eyes as he recognized the origin of this strange Demon Beast.

The Wolf Bear, a fierce and brutal creature, preferred a solitary lifestyle.

One peculiar trait of this Beast was it could mate with any bear-type Demon Beast, and the offspring produced were highly likely to be dominated by its bloodline.

Wolf Bears were also very rare in the outside world.

Because the heart of this beast was a great medicine, and its heart blood was essential for refining some special Elixirs.

"Wolf Bears enjoy eating bee pupae, especially those of carnivorous poison bees, so it must be digging out a beehive now!"

Zhou Chun\'s thoughts flickered, quickly speculating on the Wolf Bear\'s intentions of digging through the mountain.

Sure enough, it wasn\'t long before Zhou Chun heard a joyful bear roar.

Then he saw the Wolf Bear, as long and tall as two or three zhang, sitting on the ground with a large chunk of honeycomb, extending its barbed tongue to feed on the bee larvae inside the honeycomb.

With a sweep of its tongue over the honeycomb, the bee larvae, each the size of a human thumb, were hooked by the barbs on the tongue and pulled out, falling into its mouth.

And a swarm of adult-sized black Poison Bees buzzed helplessly around the Wolf Bear.

Their stingers could not break through the Wolf Bear\'s defenses, and even if they tried to take advantage of the opportunity when the Wolf Bear extended its tongue and sting it, they too would be rolled up along with the pupae and swallowed.

Watching the Wolf Bear feast, a glint of cold light flashed in Zhou Chun\'s eyes, as he thought to slay the Wolf Bear and take its heart.

But at that moment, a shout of alarm suddenly rang out from another part of the forest.

"It\'s a Wolf Bear!"

Is there someone else here?

Zhou Chun\'s expression changed immediately. He concealed his figure on the spot and fully activated the Hidden Cicada Breathing Technique, going into hiding.
