Chapter 979: Chapter 947: Beast Tide Quelled, Rewards in Hand

In less than an hour, the massive threat from the demon beast group was completely eradicated, though some always manage to slip through the net.

These can be cleaned up later; as long as they no longer pose a threat to the Chu Kingdom, it will suffice.

As the demon beast group was shattered, panicked and fleeing in different directions, retreating into the depths of the Southern Wilderness, only then did Taiqi Peak and the others gradually cease their actions.

This tide of millions of beasts was finally subdued.

Before Lu Ping’s eyes, a dialog box popped up at this moment.

[Hidden Affairs: Clear the million demon beast group in the Southern Wilderness, Task Completed]

[Task Rewards: Reputation 90,000, Tier Five Spiritual Artifact Profound Grotto Shuttle ×1, Five-star Illusion Rain Celestial Sword Talisman ×3, Nascent Soul Technique Ren Water Cyan Lotus Technique ×1]

The affairs outside the sect were completed, and these rewards were thus issued.

The system did not mention any escaped beasts or involvement by other forces that might affect the completion progress of the task.

As long as Lu Ping participated and laid a solid foundation for victory, that’s all that mattered.

Beheading two Nascent Soul Demon Emperors was obviously the major factor of success.

For the rest of the million demon beasts, given Lu Ping’s strength, it’s actually not a problem to eliminate them.

It would simply consume some magical power.

But, he made a masterful strike, triumphing with a decisive sword that established the victory, and that was enough.

Moreover, the rewards this time were quite abundant.

90,000 points of reputation, which can be traded for many good things.

Once back at Cyan Mountain Sect, he would refresh the System Mall properly.

Among the other numerous rewards, there was also a Tier Five Spiritual Artifact, Profound Grotto Shuttle, which is not cheap and a good item.

Three Five-star Illusion Rain Celestial Sword Talismans, capable of unleashing the power of Nascent Soul Stage, very practical.

The final Nascent Soul Technique, Ren Water Cyan Lotus Technique, is worth at least a million spirit stones.

This level of cultivation technique is not available on the market; they are the core inheritance techniques of various immortal races and top sects.

Lu Ping glanced over these rewards, understanding their respective value, and temporarily didn’t bother further.

Next, the group cleaned up the battlefield.

To prevent any subsequent beast tides from regrouping and threatening the Chu Kingdom, Liu Taixuan and Xu Dezhi proposed to leave a thousand Dubhe Institute cultivators stationed here, responsible for clearing surrounding demon beast remnants and establishing a defensive perimeter.

Lu Ping left behind a hundred Cyan Mountain Sect disciples to assist.

Nine Cold Mountain contributed two hundred.

Combined with Heaven-Facing Sect’s two hundred, a total of fifteen hundred cultivators were to remain here.

How exactly to defend it, Lu Ping wouldn’t manage it and instructed Song Minghui to lead Cyan Mountain Sect disciples and coordinate with the Dubhe Institute’s actions.

As for Lu Ping and the few Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they flew together towards the depths of the Southern Wilderness.

Given the flying speed of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, in just a moment, they arrived in the central region of the Southern Wilderness forest, where the Purple Jade Celestial Python’s cave mansion was located.

As the nest of a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, it’s also the most mysterious place in the Southern Wilderness forest, and what it contains has always been a topic of speculation among outsiders.

Some say there are more ferocious beasts here.

Some say many Holy Grass Divine Medicines grow here.

And some say this is the kingdom of demon beasts, akin to the Imperial Capital of the Human Race.

While others guess at what exists here, Lu Ping and the others came directly to investigate.

Here, they found two Golden Core demon beasts guarding it, namely a Red-Eyed Heaven-Shaking Roar and a Blood Spot Lake Snake.

The two Golden Core demon beasts, upon seeing Lu Ping and the others land here, and sensing their powerful aura, all understood what had happened.

The Purple Jade Celestial Python had been defeated.

Upon realizing this, the two demon beasts quickly revealed their true forms and started to escape.

The Red-Eyed Heaven-Shaking Roar, resembling a lion with a pair of broad wings, whipped them open and conjured up a massive gale, instantly escaping a few kilometers away.

It naturally possesses a speed advantage, and with full winged flight, far surpasses many same-tier escape techniques.

Yet in the hands of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, how could it possibly escape?

Elder Jiang took action, unfurling the profound mysterious body technique ’Fleeting Swan Phantom Stride’, instantly teleporting to the front of Red-Eyed Heaven-Shaking Roar, with fingers intertwined, casually slicing out a sword aura.

Red-Eyed Heaven-Shaking Roar found itself being hunted by Elder Jiang, quickly activating the Golden Core Body-Protecting Light Curtain, tightly wrapping around itself.

Clang!

The brilliant sword aura’s might was unstoppable, slicing Red-Eyed Heaven-Shaking Roar into two along with it.

Its Golden Core, just upon flying out, was immediately annihilated by Elder Jiang’s raised hand.

Meanwhile, over at Blood Spot Lake Snake, it had already been slain by Taiqi Peak with just one move.

At this point, the group began to explore the area.

In just moments, they discovered that many spiritual herbs and medicines grew here, mostly Tier Four and above, such as Ice Wave Silver Branch, Sunrise Dragon Scale Fruit, Celestial Heart Nourishing Divine Wood, and more.

There were a total of 699 plants.

The four of them split these spiritual herbs and medicines evenly; although the quantities differed, the total value was about the same.

The remaining resources were considered ordinary treasures by them.

For instance, Tier Three ores, magical artifacts, restriction arrays, etc.

Having dealt with the Demon Emperor’s cave mansion fortunes here, the group returned home, with Xu Dezhi stationing himself in the Southern Wilderness, guiding the cultivators of the four major forces in clearing the demon beast remnants.

With the end of this beast tide, over the coming days, this news spread throughout the Chu Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, and even Lingxi State.

"A beast tide of millions, heavens, there are so many demon beasts in the Southern Wilderness."

"That’s not right, I was part of the last Southern Wilderness beast tide battle; according to the scale of the once-every-century beast tide, there’s still decades to go before the next beast tide eruption, how did this happen early?"

"It’s not early, it’s the Purple Jade Celestial Python launching its attack, disregarding the agreement we signed; it’s a unilateral breach of contract."

"I see, I wondered how the beast tide broke out early."

"Fortunately, fortunately the Cyan Mountain Sect, Nine Cold Mountain, Heaven-Facing Sect, Dubhe Institute, and the forces quickly responded, jointly subduing this beast tide."

"It’s worth mentioning that it was Cyan Mountain Sect’s True Monarch Lu who took action, slaying the Earth Fire Rock Lion and Purple Jade Celestial Python, solidly securing the win."

"Hahaha, worthy of Elder Lu, True Monarch Lu."

"Lu True Monarch is undoubtedly the first Nascent Soul in our Lingxi State."

Such discussions arose throughout Lingxi State.

Lu Ping’s intervention this time made him famous, marking him as Lingxi State’s first Nascent Soul.

Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul Stage, soon to step into the Divinity Transformation Stage, such strength indeed positions him as Lingxi State’s first Nascent Soul.

Upon returning to Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Ping handed the Profound Grotto Shuttle, five Illusion Rain Celestial Sword Talismans, cultivation technique Ren Water Technique over to Lu Yuanshan to first store in the Sect’s Treasury.

As for the spiritual herbs and medicines brought back from the Southern Wilderness, those that could be collected were collected; those not suited for long-term storage were planted in the medicinal garden.

Only after finishing these tasks did he pull up the System Mall.
