The troublesome Unicorn Beast

Xiong Mo said a few more words, and then his figure disappeared into the air.

Gu Yuanqing stood atop the mountain, gazing quietly at the Heaven and Earth beneath his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye.

In the past, this world seemed fraught with danger, but now, these enormous creatures appear rather endearing.

Ultimately, there's no such thing as a dangerous or undangerous world; the key is still your own strength.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Demonic Dragon Mountain.

"I wonder what realm this sleeping Demonic Dragon is at, and how far it has progressed in the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Suddenly, Gu Yuanqing felt a blur before his eyes, and then he saw Strange Beast was entirely white, with wings on its back and a single horn on its head.

It also looked at Gu Yuanqing, and their eyes met. There seemed to be a hint of confusion in the Strange Beast's eyes.

The next second, the beast actually arrived at the foot of North Spring Mountain.

This beast is indeed proficient in Spatial Art!

Gu Yuanqing's pupils narrowed slightly, but then he smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the Strange Beast flapped its wings.

Gale arose, and countless sharp blades pierced the air, slashing down towards North Spring Mountain.

Goodness, after eating so much of my food, is this another big gift to give me upon meeting you?

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow, recalling what he had done to this guy in the past, and was immediately filled with anger. He reached out and grabbed at the guy.

The Unicorn Beast's figure vanished abruptly.

With the help of North Spring Mountain, Gu Yuanqing clearly saw its movements. This time, it did not use Spatial Power, but rather the Wind Escape Technique.

It travels on the wind, covering several miles in an instant, its speed so fast that it's difficult for the eye to keep up.

At the same time, it merged with the wind, making it difficult even for Divine Sense to lock onto, and Gu Yuanqing's several attempts all landed on Liaokong.

Meanwhile, the attack also landed on North Spring Mountain, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, leaving no Motion and Stillness.

The Unicorn Beast seemed annoyed that Gu Yuanqing dared to attack it. It snorted, stood on a hilltop, took a few steps back, stomped its hind legs on the ground, and its horn shimmered. Then, it charged towards North Spring Mountain like an arrow.

Gu Yuanqing was not surprised but delighted. This guy's strength was at least at the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change. Moreover, because his Innate Divine Ability lay in the Way of Wind Dao and the Way of Space, he was very slippery and somewhat difficult to capture. It would be even better if he could deliver himself to her door.

It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it traveled from hundreds of miles away to the foot of North Spring Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing was prepared to suppress it as soon as it entered, but it suddenly stopped just before it broke into the North Spring Mountain Boundary Domain.

It let out a mocking laugh, and then vanished without a trace.

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled. This guy was still as cheeky as ever, extremely bold, yet extremely cautious, never letting himself fall into danger. He had just been hoping it would rush into the Mountain, but how could that be possible!

No sooner had this guy disappeared than Xiong Mo reappeared.

"How did you manage to provoke this guy?" Xiong Mo asked curiously.

"I just happened to catch a glimpse of it. What's the origin of this Strange Beast?" Gu Yuanqing was somewhat amused and exasperated, but it was also a good opportunity to ask about its background.

Xiong Mo said, "No one knows this guy's origin. He doesn't seem to be a creature of this realm. He suddenly appeared in this realm seven hundred years ago. His strength is a mystery. He seems to be around the Peak of the Heavenly Change Realm, but almost every expert in this realm has fought against him, yet no human or demon has been able to defeat him. Even Tiger Lord and Fox Consort couldn't do anything to him..."

At this point, Xiong Mo's expression suddenly changed, and the Avatar vanished abruptly.

Gu Yuanqing activated his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye and turned to look at Bamboo Mountain. He saw a loud bang, followed by the Strange Beast rushing out of Bamboo Mountain. The Grand Formation that sealed off Bamboo Mountain failed to stop it.

The Strange Beast stood in mid-air, flapping its wings incessantly, seemingly extremely excited. It had half a bamboo stalk in its mouth, took a bite, and then spat it out with a "pui" sound.

Then, inside the Bamboo Mountain, Xiong Mo was furious. His Divine Soul, hundreds of feet tall, soared into the sky, and he raised his emerald green Bamboo Staff to strike Xiong Mo on the head.

The Unicorn Beast flapped its wings and retreated continuously, but it could not break free from the Bamboo Staff's lock. Then, its horn flashed, and its figure disappeared.

Chaos erupted once again in the Mountain, followed by Xiong Ba's furious roar.

After a long while, Xiong Mo returned to the foot of North Spring Mountain, and said with a wry smile, "I apologize for making you laugh, Daoist Friend."

"It's gone?"

"It's gone. Even with Xiong Ba and I joining forces, we couldn't stop it. I consider my Bamboo Mountain Grand Formation to Higher Vehicle the best in this world, but it was completely helpless against it, letting it come and go as it pleased. However, this is the first time I've seen the Array Formation in Daoist Friend's Mountain retreat."

At this point, Xiong Mo's voice suddenly stopped, because it felt the Unicorn Beast's gaze fall on it again.

"What's wrong, Clan Leader Xiong?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

"Never mind, it's nothing. I have some things to do, so I won't chat any longer."

Xiong Mo gave an awkward smile and disappeared. This guy was impossible to catch; he just wandered around aimlessly all day. If he really set his sights on someone, Bamboo Mountain would never have peace.

Gu Yuanqing used his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye to search the surroundings and spotted a Unicorn Beast standing atop a Cloud Layer. He assessed the possibility of capturing it now and ultimately decided it was best to give up for the time being; the more he learned, the more he understood how troublesome this creature was.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuanqing shook his head, and North Spring Mountain disappeared from the Demon Realm.

Suddenly, the Unicorn Beast appeared at its original location on North Spring Mountain, its eyes filled with curiosity, as if it had found something interesting.

As its horn shimmered with light, Gu Yuanqing felt ripples spreading across the edge of North Spring Mountain's space, as if it were about to emerge from its concealment.

However, as his thoughts intervened, the ripples stopped.

"As my cultivation level has increased, my control over North Spring Mountain has also reached a new level. Ordinary forces can no longer force North Spring Mountain to reveal its Demon Realm."

The Unicorn Beast played around for a while, but still couldn't find a way out. It wandered around for a bit longer before reluctantly leaving.

After returning to the Floating World, Gu Yuanqing once again entered the Heavenly Ladder.

The twenty-fifth floor, which had been blocking his path, could no longer stop him.

On this day, the world was shocked, because they suddenly discovered that Gu Yuanqing, who was at the top of the list, was already standing on the twenty-seventh step.

Bai Xianghui, Chen Zhengfeng, and Tong Yuefei stared blankly at this scene, understanding its meaning better than anyone else!

In the imperial city, Li Chengyi stood in front of the main hall, staring blankly at the Heaven Ladder Rankings.

He was exceptionally talented, Divine Platform Realm at the age of twenty-three, a feat unprecedented in this world. He had secretly planned to catch up with his father's cultivation level many years ago, but now, why did he feel the distance between them growing ever wider?

The higher one's cultivation level, the slower the advancement to each realm, but this rule seemed to disregard any such rule in front of his father!

At the same time, the once-in-a-decade Trial Path begins again, and the Heavenly Ladder emerges from the Exquisite World...
