Chapter 211: Azure Spirit Realm, Invitation to Core Formation
"The Azure Profound Deer has a deep attachment. If it dies like this, it might affect the entire realm, and there's a slight possibility it could turn into an evil omen."
The middle-aged cultivator spoke with a stern expression, devoid of any emotional hues in his two pairs of pupils.
His name was Lei Su, a Core Formation cultivator of the Sky Sword Sect, and together with the handsome young man, they came to handle the aftermath upon receiving news of the imminent death of The Azure Profound Deer.
Other Core Formation cultivators in the sect were either in seclusion, guarding certain territories, or wandering, making them untraceable. Thus, only these two had the leisure to come.
The Deer, a fifth-grade demonic beast, possessed strength equivalent to the early Core Formation stage. It served as the sect's guardian spirit beast for hundreds of years, deeply connected to this realm.
"So, Brother Lei, what you mean is..."
The speed of the sword shadows around the handsome young man increased, as if about to shoot out from some illusory world.
The middle-aged cultivator with four eyes glanced at the aging Deer entangled in a vast net of vines. A barrier of spiritual energy quietly enveloped the two, preventing external scrutiny.
"Instead of dying like this, leaving lingering troubles due to attachments, it's better to end it here, avoiding any impact on the realm."
"The materials on a fifth-grade demonic beast still have many uses."
"Hmm."
The handsome young man chuckled in frustration.
"Brother Lei, practicing that emotion-wiping technique has affected your mind, hasn't it? The Azure Profound Deer has faithfully guarded the sect and this realm for centuries. It was here when we weren't even born. Yet, you, unexpectedly, have such heartless thoughts."
"I estimate that Brother Lei has only a couple of hundred years of lifespan left. After spending so much time in the cultivation world, dealing with countless demonic beasts and omens, there might be a slight risk of deviation during your tribulation. Why not help Brother Lei settle his life at that time and avoid this bit of danger? Besides, your two pairs of unusual pupils would probably be well-received by other brothers."
The handsome young man said with a cold smile.
"If it can be of some use to the sect before my death, I am willing. Not only these two pairs of eyes, but I can also offer my flesh, soul, and any legacy treasures to the sect."
"I believe this Deer may share the same thoughts as me."
Lei Su said indifferently, as if his life and death were inconsequential in the face of sect interests.
"Enough, no need to say more!"
The handsome young man, Ge Pu, waved his hand to stop further discussion.
"Brother Lei, whatever you think or do, I don't care. But this Deer must have a proper and peaceful ending."
Upon hearing this, Ge Pu, the Core Formation cultivator, became interested in the inner disciple mentioned by Ge Pu.
...
"Senior Yang, why did you urgently summon me? Some of the spirit plants in my spiritual field have not been cultivated today!"
Lu Xuan came out from the mountain peak, looking at Yang Qingfeng standing in the air on a flat boat with some dissatisfaction.
"Junior Lu, there's no time to explain. Get on the boat quickly!"
Yang Qingfeng pulled Lu Xuan onto the flying boat, and spiritual power surged wildly. The flying boat, under his feet, instantly shot into the sky like an arrow leaving the bow, speeding towards the high altitude.
"Junior Lu, forgive Senior for being rude, but it's just too urgent."
In the howling wind, Yang Qingfeng explained to Lu Xuan.
"What has made Senior Brother so anxious?"
Lu Xuan looked curious.
"Well, there is a fifth-grade Azure Profound Deer in the sect. Junior Brother, you know about it, right?"
Seeing Lu Xuan nod, Yang Qingfeng continued.
"Recently, that Deer is about to transcend, but it has a deep attachment inside its body. The sect wants to invite some fellow disciples who are good at communicating with spirit beasts to see if they can resolve it."
"Senior Brother Ge Pu recommended you to Senior Brother Lei Su."
"Core Formation Senior Brother?"
Lu Xuan's tone was full of surprise. Core Formation cultivators were considered high-level combat power in the Sky Sword
Sect. He never expected that one day he would have close contact with, and even be asked to help solve a major issue for, a Core Formation cultivator.
"Yes, but Junior Brother Lu, you don't need to worry. If you can solve it, it will be a great achievement; if you can't, no one will blame you."
"Well, we've arrived at the Azure Spirit Realm. Two Core Formation seniors and several senior brothers are already inside the realm."
Yang Qingfeng put away the flying boat artifact and took out a green token entwined with vines from his waist. Guiding spiritual power, the token turned into a green light, enveloping the two of them, entering a chaotic space.
