However, just then, something unexpected happened. The ground beneath Gu Changge's feet suddenly began to shake violently.
A huge swarm of Demonic Beasts emerged from the mountain peak, all charging toward the foot of the mountain.
"What happened?"
Gu Changge was somewhat puzzled.
Out of curiosity, he slowly made his way up the mountain.
"Your Highness, do you need us to scout the way for you?"
Murong Yuechun asked.
"No need. You're too strong; you'd affect my training."
Gu Changge said.
He climbed to the mountaintop alone.
The summit was littered with destroyed trees. Gu Changge found a massive tree that was still relatively intact, hid behind it, and observed carefully.
"It's the Ink Profound Flood Dragon and the Sky Winged Tiger."
Gu Changge recognized the two Demonic Beasts confronting each other on the mountaintop.
Both Demonic Beasts appeared to possess the strength of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
"These two Demonic Beasts should be fighting over ownership of this mountain."
Gu Changge analyzed the situation and muttered to himself.
Marrow Cleansing Realm Demonic Beasts were already top-tier overlords within the Cangyun Mountain Range.
This mountain was rich in spiritual energy. Though it could only be considered middling to lower-tier within the entire mountain range, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers. These two Demonic Beasts were engaged in a life-and-death battle to determine the final victor.
Gu Changge opened the system shop.
System Shop: System Points: 300 Chaos Gods and Devils Body: 100000 System Points Reincarnation Immortal Body: 90000 System Points Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body: 90000 System Points Supreme Bone: 85000 System Points Zhou Tian Stellar Body: 85000 System Points Double Pupils: 80000 System Points ...

Purple Charm Dragon Emperor Ginseng: 30000 System Points Bone Cleansing Flower: 25000 System Points Ice Spirit Flame Grass: 25000 System Points Purple Blood Ganoderma: 20000 System Points Next Page (1/20)
Gu Changge repeatedly tapped "Next Page," flipping all the way to the end before finally finding the item he needed.
Beast Taming Contract: 100 System Points
Gu Changge immediately purchased two Beast Taming Contracts.
At this moment, the battle between the Ink Profound Flood Dragon and the Sky Winged Tiger had reached its final stage. Just as they were about to determine the victor, Gu Changge stepped out from behind the tree, raised the Azure Rainbow Sword, and placed it against their necks.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Neither the Ink Profound Flood Dragon nor the Sky Winged Tiger had expected a despicable human to hide behind a tree and reap the fisherman's profit.
Taking advantage of their weakened state, Gu Changge said indifferently, "I'll give you two choices: submit to me, or die."
At first, both Demonic Beasts struggled fiercely. But as Gu Changge slowly pressed the Azure Rainbow Emperor Sword closer, they finally yielded under the threat of death.
"Drip a drop of your essence blood onto this contract."
Gu Changge took out the two Beast Taming Contracts and placed them before the two Demonic Beasts.
The two Demonic Beasts obediently did as instructed, each forcing out a drop of essence blood and dripping it onto the contracts.
At once, the contracts ignited with illusory flames and soon vanished into nothingness. In the unseen world, Gu Changge felt as if his life had become bound to the lives of these two Demonic Beasts.
But the contract was not equal—it was a master-servant contract. If Gu Changge died, the two Demonic Beasts would die with him. Yet if the two Demonic Beasts died, Gu Changge would at most suffer some mental depletion.
Gu Changge said, "From now on, I'll call you Little Mo and Little Tian."
"Little Mo, Little Tian, I order you to capture nine Blood Refining Realm Demonic Beasts and bring them back to me."
Gu Changge commanded.
Before long, the Ink Profound Flood Dragon and the Sky Winged Tiger had captured nine barely alive Demonic Beasts and brought them before Gu Changge.
"Not bad."
Gu Changge praised them.
Then he took out the Azure Rainbow Emperor Sword and killed the nine Demonic Beasts one by one.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the mission: Hunt ten Demonic Beasts of the same realm (10/10). Reward obtained: one Jadeite Bell (Emperor Grade Low Rank), 100 System Points.
Gu Changge took out the Jadeite Bell, refined it once, then placed it into the system inventory.
"Next, it's time to complete the remaining mission."
Gu Changge arrived at the foot of the mountain and boarded the White Jade Chariot once more. He ordered, "Set out for the Tianshui Holy Land."
The Tianshui Holy Land had been founded by its ancestor, the Tianshui Empress. It had a long history and profound foundations.
However, three hundred years ago, the Tianshui Holy Land and the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty had formed a grudge over the struggle for a treasure. Although the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty feared no force and possessed many Old Ancestors at the Quasi-Emperor level, it could not mobilize its forces over such a trivial matter. Still, the knot had been tied.
This Tianshui Holy Land happened to meet the mission's requirements, so Gu Changge rode the White Jade Chariot to the Tianshui Holy Land.
"Who dares trespass into the Tianshui Holy Land?"
The White Jade Chariot barreled through the Tianshui Holy Land without restraint, and an elder of the Tianshui Holy Land spoke.
"I am here to destroy your Tianshui Holy Land."
Gu Changge stepped out of the enormous White Jade Chariot and spoke indifferently.
"What arrogance. Our Tianshui Holy Land was established in the Ancient Xing Era and has stood unshaken ever since. Yet today, a snot-nosed brat dares to come to our holy land and spout such shameless boasts."
The elder sneered several times.
"Yuechun, Yuexia, Yueqiu, Yuedong, come out."
Gu Changge said.
Soon, the pressure of four Quasi-Emperor-level experts erupted, startling the elder of the Tianshui Holy Land.
"Four Quasi-Emperor-level experts serving as maids? Brat, which faction's young master are you?"
"The Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."
Gu Changge replied indifferently.
"So it is a Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty. Our Tianshui Holy Land has failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive us."
At this moment, a resounding voice arrived from afar. A graceful and noble woman strode over.
"I am the Holy Lord of the Tianshui Holy Land. May I ask why Your Highness the Prince has come to our Tianshui Holy Land?"
The Holy Lord of the Tianshui Holy Land said.
"Very simple. I'm here to settle the old score."
Gu Changge said.
"The old score?"
She was somewhat puzzled.
"Three hundred years ago, disciples of my Qianyuan Divine Dynasty took a liking to a treasure within a secret realm and intended to claim it. But your Tianshui Holy Land disciples forcibly snatched it away. It's time to settle this debt."
Gu Changge said.
"They are all old debts from years past. I fear Your Highness the Prince has come here with the drunkard's intention not on the wine."
The Holy Lord of the Tianshui Holy Land narrowed her eyes as she spoke.
"You only need to know that today, your Tianshui Holy Land will be destroyed."
Gu Changge said.
"Hmph. I admit that the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty is powerful, with five Emperors in one sect. But our Tianshui Holy Land is not clay to be kneaded as one pleases. We are also a legacy left behind by a Great Emperor, passed down through several eras. It is not something you can destroy merely because you wish to."
The Holy Lord of the Tianshui Holy Land said.
