Lu Ze frowned.
The Void Soul Crystal that was practically within his grasp had slipped away, something he couldn't accept.
"Sect Master He said that he didn't know if the Beast Taming Sect could wait... Perhaps the situation has become more serious."
Nangong Yuan shook his head and explained to Lu Ze.
"Elder Chao promised that he could send an elder from the Lingxiao Sect to help the Beast Taming Sect overcome its difficulties. But Sect Master He said that this matter cannot be solved by cultivation alone."
"So it seems the Beast Taming Sect is indeed issuing illusionary realm requests... the reward is a Void Soul Crystal."
Upon hearing Nangong Yuan's description, Zhong Yi immediately added to it.
"No wonder there have been several illusions related to beast taming recently."
"A commission? What are the requirements of the illusion?"
Lu Ze's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
"I don't know, it seems like they need to meet in person... I'm afraid they've signed a confidentiality agreement, and I haven't seen anyone publicly say what the Beast Taming Sect's requirements are."
Zhong Yi shook his head, then added.
"However, there is still less than a month left for this commission, and it seems that the Illusion Alliance has also made its move... The response to that Beast Taming Illusion Realm is not bad."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ze frowned and said seriously:
"It seems that the situation at our sect is quite urgent... Master, why don't you come with me to the Beast Taming Sect!"
Nangong Yuan's lips twitched violently: "...Who is whose master between us??"
...
...
On the way to the Beast Taming Sect, Lu Ze learned about the sect's situation from Nangong Yuan.
During the ancient war between good and evil, the Beast Taming Sect was quite powerful, not much different from the five major sects at the time.
Since the Great War between the Righteous and the Demonic, the Beast Taming Sect's fortunes have declined day by day.
The most significant problem is that the spiritual beasts of this world are declining.
The rise and fall of the Beast Taming Sect is intertwined with the fate of the spirit beasts.
In ancient times, mythical beasts roamed the land and powerful demons were everywhere, which is why the Beast Taming Sect was so powerful.
Today, the names of those mythical beasts exist only in history, and even the number and quality of spirit beasts are visibly declining...
More than a hundred years ago, the Beast Taming Sect's power had already diminished, and it had faded into obscurity among ordinary sects.
"Are spirit beasts declining? Gradually becoming extinct?"
Lu Ze keenly grasped the key information, then frowned.
"This kind of problem can't be solved by illusions..."
Although he achieved many earth-shattering feats through illusions, this does not mean that illusions are omnipotent.
He can make cultivators comprehend the Dao in an illusion, and make the elders of the Ruthless Sect weep in an illusion, but the revival of spirit beasts is clearly not within the scope of the illusion's function.
"Who knows? Sect Master He is certain that only an illusion can save his Beast Taming Sect."
Nangong Yuan sighed helplessly.
"Let's go, we've arrived."
...
...
Beast Taming Sect, Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits.
"Sect Master He, my 'King of Beasts' was made entirely according to your Beast Taming Sect's requirements... You've seen the feedback from the cultivators, so with this attitude now, are you perhaps trying to back out?!"
Elder Baihe of the Illusion Alliance questioned him in an icy tone, showing no regard for the fact that this was the territory of the Beast Taming Sect.
After all, even the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect was only at the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
Furthermore, the spirit beast lineage of the Tianxuan Continent is gradually weakening, which is why he dares to be so arrogant.
"Elder Baihe, please don't be impatient... I have no intention of going back on my word, but this illusion of yours does not meet the requirements of my Beast Taming Sect."
He Muye sighed and shook his head.
"How is it not up to standard? Your Beast Taming Sect is always making unreasonable demands, insisting on creating new species of spirit beasts... My 'King of Beasts' is full of spirit beasts that have never been seen before!"
As 【Baihe】 spoke, he opened the illusion of "King of Beasts" and projected the image of the illusion onto the outside world.
Rows upon rows of ferocious beasts and demons appeared around the 【White Crane】.
"Tell me... which of these spirit beasts have you seen before?!"
Seeing this, He Muye gave a wry smile.
"Elder Baihe...you have misunderstood the requirements of my Beast Taming Sect."
His gaze swept over the strange spirit beasts formed by various combinations of elements, and he shook his head helplessly.
"It's true that our Beast Taming Sect wants new breeds of spirit beasts, but the prerequisite is... that they are spirit beasts."
"They have empty shells, but they have no souls of spirit beasts at all."
"Furthermore..."
"They just look strange; they are no different from the spirit beasts of the Tianxuan Continent."
After saying that, he sighed again.
"The illusion of 'King of Beasts' is not what my Beast Taming Sect needs... It's an illusion that creates a new world."
"Sect Leader He, you're playing me."
【White Crane】's face immediately turned cold, and his aura suddenly increased, revealing a strong sense of threat.
"Elder Baihe, you flatter me. How could I be the kind of person to break my promise? It's just that this illusory world does not meet the standards of my Beast Taming Sect."
He Muye appeared humble, but he never backed down.
"snort!"
【White Crane】 snorted coldly, dissipating the spiritual energy around her, her tone still fierce.
"Don't forget... you only have less than a month left on this mission. Once that time is up, no matter what you say, this Void Soul Crystal will be mine!"
"unless......"
He Muye's pupils dilated slightly, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Someone can surpass you."
"Surpass me? Haha, Sect Master He, you're not still waiting for the Lingxiao Sect to come and take over your illusionary mission, are you?"
【White Crane】 immediately let out a cold laugh.
As is well known, He Muye stayed at Lingxiao Sect for nearly a month before returning to Beast Taming Sect, and then immediately issued an Illusion Realm Request.
Clearly, Lu Ze was in seclusion, and He Muyi had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
Others may not know, but 【White Crane】 knows very well.
Lu Ze must have died from the backlash of the Taixu Soul Crystal while he was in seclusion refining it; otherwise, there would be no way there would have been any progress after three months!
Therefore, Lu Ze will never be able to come out!
The sky over this illusionary realm is about to change!
"Let me tell you, Lu Ze will never..."
"Oh, isn't this Elder Baihe? I've heard so much about you!"
Before 【Baihe】 finished speaking, a voice with a youthful quality came from behind.
"Lu...Ze!? How could you..."
【White Crane】 turned around, as if she had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong with Elder Baihe? Does he think I died while refining the Void Soul Crystal?"
Lu Ze looked at 【White Crane】 with a half-smile, then pointed in surprise at the group of beast-shaped phantoms behind him.
"My goodness, Elder Baihe seems to be quite knowledgeable about hybridization! He's managed to create so many unusual species! Amazing!"
"you......!"
【White Crane】 was choked and speechless, and could only stare angrily.
"Elder Baihe, if there is nothing else, please return first... Our Beast Taming Sect has a distinguished guest visiting."
He Muye smiled and saw the guest off.
He had just seen Nangong Yuan and Lu Ze visiting through the spirit bird within the sect, which is why he was smiling so happily.
"Sect Leader He, there's no need to jump to conclusions so early."
【White Crane】 put away the illusion crystal and looked at Lu Ze with great resentment.
"By the standards of your Illusion Alliance, a new spirit beast, a new world..."
"There is less than a month left."
"I'd like to see how he manages to do it!"
