Having experienced what happened last night, Jingwei was even more cautious this time, dispersing some of her energy to explore her surroundings, so that she wouldn't be followed without even realizing it, like yesterday.

Today, after leaving Taixu Mountain, she headed south, planning to travel the same distance as yesterday, about 500 li. If there was still time, she would search the entire area around Taixu Mountain in a circular pattern.

Just as those spirit beasts like to gather at the foot of Taixu Mountain, many spiritual plants with abundant spiritual energy also like to grow around the foot of the mountain.

Surprisingly, there weren't many immortal-grade spiritual plants growing in Taixu Mountain. There were only Green Pine and bitter bamboo. Despite being the place with the most abundant spiritual energy, it had the fewest spiritual plants.

It does have a sense of reverse aging, perhaps because the spiritual energy has been absorbed by the bitter bamboo and Green Pine.

Jingwei felt a strange thought.

However, despite these thoughts, he did not slow down. His body transformed into a crimson light, soaring into the sky, and he began his search once again.

Five hundred miles to the north, draw a circle with Taixu Mountain as the center. It will inevitably involve four major ethnic groups. But who is Jingwei? Has she ever been afraid of these native residents?

However, one thing that surprised Jingwei was that time in the Taixu Realm seemed to be different from when they left, as if a hundred years had passed, and many of the spirit beasts here had actually reached the Form Transformation Stage.

She didn't know if the person from last night was a native of the Taixu Realm, but at least she didn't sense any fluctuations in Soul Power from him. Otherwise, even if something like that had happened, she would never have let him leave so easily.

The tranquility of Taixu Mountain has returned, but the foot of the mountain has suddenly become lively.

No more than a quarter of an hour after Wolf Shadow, the leader of the Wolf Clan, spoke, envoys from the other three major clans came to discuss the matter. In the end, the Wolf Clan received the information last.

Whether it's the White Tiger Clan, the Great Roc Clan, or the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan, the bloodlines of these three major clans are far superior to those of a small Wolf Clan, giving them an innate advantage.

Although the Wolf Clan was the first to reach the Form Transformation Stage, it was gradually surpassed by the other three clans in the following years. Currently, the strongest clans are the White Tiger Clan and the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan.

The White Tiger is one of the four ancient sacred beasts. Although it is unknown what the relationship is between the White Tiger Clan that appeared here and that sacred beast, since they call themselves the White Tiger White Tiger Clan, they must have this connection in their bloodline.

As for the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan, its members are all composed of nine- Spirit Fox. Unlike demon foxes, they feed on the essence of the Sun Moon and are born with a trace of the spiritual energy of a nine-tailed fox.

When they grow to a certain age, they will grow nine tails.

Currently, the leader of the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan is a six-tailed Spirit Fox in its Form Transformation Stage. When it grows nine tails, it can be called a celestial beast, whose power can break the sky, shatter the void, and roam the universe.

Although they didn't know if there was another space outside the Taixu Realm, the strength shown by the immortal beasts alone was enough to make them yearn for it, and the inheritance that existed in their memories could not be lied to.

At this moment, the gathering place of the three major races has gathered countless prodigies from each race, as well as some geniuses from smaller groups. However, these geniuses are not enough to be considered among the three major races.

Walking through the jungle, the chosen ones of the three major races looked down on everyone and didn't take these geniuses from all directions seriously at all.

His arrogance was obvious.

This place is only a few miles from the Taixu Mountain. It is surrounded by dense forests, and there is a stream deep in the area. The spiritual energy is so abundant that even when you are walking, spiritual energy enters your body.

Geniuses from all sides are meditating and resting here, but some of the best spots are still occupied by the three major races.

The domineering White Tiger Clan, the arrogant Great Roc Clan, and the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan, which is much gentler than the previous two clans.

The chosen ones from the three races are a gathering place of brilliance; simply sitting here is enough to attract the attention of countless people.

The White Tiger Clan resides in the west, and seated here are three young geniuses, with imposing figures and the aura of wild beasts. If Lang Ya's physique is just right and he is powerful, then these three are even more outstanding than Lang Ya.

He was a size larger than Lang Ya, with bulging muscles that exuded a powerful beauty. He was naked from the waist up, wearing only a fur skirt on his lower body, and sat there calmly, like a mountain pressing down on the others, making it hard for them to breathe.

Only their tiger ears and tails can prove that they are not human.

Thirty meters away from the three prodigies of the White Tiger Clan, on a cliff face suspended in mid-air, two figures sat upright. They were tall and slender, lacking the ferocity of the White Tiger Clan, but the sharp glint in their eyes from time to time proved that they were not simple.

This was a male and female duo, their auras sharp as a blade. The man was handsome, and the woman was heroic. Although there were only two of them, their presence was in no way inferior to the three members of the White Tiger Clan.

This caused the leading youth among the three to snort coldly. A vast and boundless aura swept over them, creating a hurricane-like whirlwind, and a heavy pressure pressed down on the man and woman.

The upward surge, carrying the domineering and ferocious power of the White Tiger, is as imposing as a tiger pouncing into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the man and woman.

The woman did nothing, but as the man beside her slightly opened and closed his eyes, a sharp light flashed, like a sword falling from the sky.

One Slash

Sizzle~

The metallic clang rang out

A tiger pounces into the sky, a sharp Sword Slash.

Boom!

A massive wave of energy swept across the area once more, the momentum suddenly solidified, and the initial clash between the two sides ended in a draw.

The young leader of the White Tiger Clan let out a cold snort, his voice deep and resonant, like the sound of a morning bell.

"Your Great Roc Clan is quite formidable, actually sending the two of you this time. Aren't you afraid of utterly defeating you inside?"

The expressions of the man and woman remained unchanged. The man had opened his eyes, and his pupils were a captivating gold, even more brilliant than the color of the blazing sun.

One glance, and it felt as if the scorching sun was burning my eyes.

At this moment, he spoke, his voice calm and even, lacking the domineering and powerful tone of the White Tiger Clan youth, yet possessing a unique sharpness.

"Tiger Overlord, isn't your White Tiger Clan the same? You actually dared to send the three of you brothers here. It seems your White Tiger Clan is determined to succeed."

Tiger Overlord, Hu Baling, and Tiger Overlord Absolute are the three most outstanding disciples of the White Tiger Clan. They are also three brothers and can be considered the Golden Generation of the White Tiger Clan. Sending them out of the mountains this time also proves the White Tiger Clan's ambition.

They wanted these three brothers to dominate all others and solidify the White Tiger Clan's position.

The man chuckled slightly.

"Everyone knows that you three brothers are the Golden Generation of the White Tiger Clan. You must be determined to get that item this time you've come out of the mountains."

"Ha! Aren't you Great Roc Clan the same? The fact that you, with your Golden Winged Feather, were allowed to leave the mountain shows you must have your eye on that thing. And with Crane Spirit Immortal by your side, you're practically a tiger with wings!" Tiger Overlord's voice boomed, causing the air to tremble.

Golden Winged Feather's true form is a Golden Winged Roc, and it is closest to the Golden Winged Roc in bloodline. Its golden feathers are dazzling, like another sun hanging in the sky, and its golden feathers are like swords that can pierce through gold and break through stone.

As for Crane Spirit Immortal beside him, her true form was a red-crowned crane with a crimson crest, pure white feathers, and an ethereal aura, like a crane accompanying an immortal.

Being by the side of the Golden Winged Feather also a kind of expectation that the Great Roc Clan has for him.

With cranes by his side, he possessed the qualities of an immortal.

Tiger Overlord sneered. This Great Roc Clan is truly ignorant of their own limitations, daring to compare this tiny child to an immortal.

"The immortals only wish to come here for training and to broaden their horizons; they have no intention of fighting," Golden Winged Feather said slowly.

He was extremely gentle with the Crane Spirit Immortal beside him.

Tiger Overlord sneered again. If anyone said there was nothing between them, he would be the first to disbelieve it.

"Hmph, we'll see who's right and who's wrong in the future."

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd. The onlookers watching the fight between the White Tiger Clan and the Great Roc Clan suddenly parted, and a group of women slowly walked out from behind them.

They were all blessed with divine beauty, their faces flawless, as if created by the heavens, with slender waists that could be easily grasped in one hand.

Although she was also dressed in animal skin clothing, her workmanship was more exquisite than the others, as fine as silk and satin, truly resembling the flowing clouds and pine trees of immortals.

Behind it, white tails swayed, causing countless people—no, beasts—to look at it, their hearts to feel a ticklish, itchy sensation.

Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan

"Ha! Isn't this Sister Spirit Fox? Why are you so late?" Tiger Overlord's left hand, Tiger Overlord Absolute, suddenly spoke, his tone teasing and his manner roguish.

"We dare not disobey the instructions of our clan elders," the leading woman said.

Her voice was clear and crisp, with three parts elegance, six parts charm, and the remaining part added liveliness. Even without making many movements, every expression she made was extremely Charm.

The Spirit Fox is still a fox; its Charm seems to be innate.

"Ha! Ha!" Tiger Overlord Absolute sneered.

The subtext is that they are unruly!

Truly worthy of being called a fox, he delivered a sharp and witty rebuttal to them with just one sentence.

However, Tiger Overlord Absolute not angry. Everyone loves beauty, and everyone yearns for beautiful things, even beasts.

"Since the Spirit Fox sisters have arrived, the elders must also be gathered. It seems we'll have to wait a while longer!" Tiger Overlord Absolute spoke again, his eyes sweeping over the crowd with unbridled arrogance.

Among the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan, apart from the leaders, the rest all had grim expressions, their unbridled gazes seeming to want to peel their skin off.

"If that's the case, then let's wait and see!" the leading woman said.

A light and ethereal energy spread out, neither ostentatious nor domineering, but gently and softly.

But in an instant, the Tiger Overlord Absolute, and a white breath exhaled from its nostrils, transforming into a tiger...

Tiger Descending the Mountain

Boom!

Thump thump thump

Tiger Overlord Absolute retreated repeatedly, only stopping after taking five steps.

At this moment, even Tiger Overlord and Hu Baling's expressions turned ugly. They hadn't expected the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan to be so powerful.

Their expressions changed, but they quickly suppressed them. It was not a good time to fight, otherwise it would benefit the Great Roc Clan and other smaller clans.

He suppressed his anger and remained calm.

Tiger Overlord spoke.

"I didn't expect it to be you from the Nine-Tailed Clan. I wonder if Spirit Fox will be coming?"

The woman in the lead smiled faintly, instantly exuding charm.

"Sister Spirit Fox is currently facing a critical situation, so she probably won't be participating."

Upon hearing this, Tiger Overlord and his group, as well as Golden Winged Feather of the Great Roc Clan, all changed color.

Being named after Spirit Fox is enough to show her status in the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan, and it can even be said that she has the talent to become a celestial beast.

The Spirit Fox did not disappoint its clan's expectations, reaching the Form Transformation Stage at a young age, skipping two major realms from infancy.

As the name suggests, the Form Transformation Stage involves a spirit beast transforming into human form and continuing its cultivation. Although many spirit beasts now possess the appearance of the Form Transformation Stage, these are all pseudo-transformations.

These pills are all made from a medicinal herb called the Form Transformation Grass, which the spirit beasts call the Form Transformation Pill. As for how the Form Transformation Pill came to be, they have no idea.

All spirit beasts that have taken the Form Transformation Pill possess the ability to transform. However, transforming by taking the pill is different from transforming by one's own strength. The former cannot switch between beast form and human form, while the latter can do so without worry.

Their strength will also be greatly limited; although they have taken human form, their strength is still in its infancy.

This is the case in most places now, because the environment within the Taixu Realm makes the Form Transformation Grass not scarce, so over time this trend has formed.

After all, when it comes to cultivation, the human form is the easiest form to cultivate in the world.

The three Tiger Overlord brothers were in the middle stage of their growth, as was the Golden Winged Feather of the Great Roc Clan, while the leading woman of the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan was in the late stage.

The cultivation of spirit beasts is divided into infancy, adolescence, growth, and Form Transformation Stage. Each period is further divided into three stages: initial, middle, and final. The current Form Transformation Stage, is the highest.

The leaders of the four major clans are all at the Form Transformation Stage, but they are divided into junior and senior stages.

The Wolf Shadow of the Wolf Clan is at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm.

In terms of strength comparison with the Douluo Continent, the early childhood stage corresponds to Soul Elder below level 30, the youth stage corresponds to a Soul Master between level 31 and level 50, and so on.

The Form Transformation Stage is characterized by strength between level 61 and 80. In the early stage, one is Soul Emperor; in the middle stage, one is between Soul Emperor and Spirit Saint; and in the later stage, one is Spirit Saint.

Of course, this is just a general summary of strength. The biggest difference between spirit beasts and humans is the difference in their physical bodies. Spirit beasts have stronger physical bodies than humans, even when they transform into human form.

Therefore, the strength of spirit beasts will fluctuate during this period.

P. S.: Xunlei is really fun, but it's made my hands hurt so much. It's fun for a while, but the constant fun leads to hand pain. I feel like my thumb is going to give way.
