So it's the president of the Qingyun City Guild?
Only then did Lin Su understand the identity of the man before him.
After the explanation, Qi Yunhan's gaze shifted toward the woman from Star Light City, "Sister Song Yun, why have you co this ti? Where's Old Zhao?"
Song Yun smiled, "This ti, it's my direct disciple who is entering the secret realm. I couldn't rest easy, so I decided to co along. Fortunately, my husband just returned from the imperial capital not long ago, so he shouldn't be running back and forth. As for the token to open the secret realm, my husband has temporarily entrusted it to ."
The token to open the secret realm is generally held by the guild president. From Song Yun's words, it seed that she and the president of the Beast Taming Union from Star Light City were actually husband and wife.
After hearing Song Yun's words, everyone present fell silent.
Zhou Qiyi's expression twitched slightly—he, being Song Yun's direct disciple, had often seen his teacher and the president displaying their affection. He never imagined that even on the verge of entering the Nirvana Secret Realm, he would be subjected to such a display...
This... was totally unexpected.
Upon hearing Song Yun's words, Qi Yunhan imdiately thought of Mu Yuxing, who was also a vice president.
Soone else's vice president was so considerate of their president, sparing the president from the trouble of running back and forth, while his own vice president not only did not ntion such a thing, but also dumped a ton of responsibilities on him...
Oh, but they are husband and wife.
Well, that's fine, then.
Lin Su subconsciously glanced over at Tang Hao.
Speaking of which, wasn't Chu Feng Tang Hao's teacher too...
In Qingyun City, the expression of President Li beca a bit unnatural, and the face of Tang Hao standing beside him suddenly turned dark. His fist clenched tightly inside his sleeve, turning the flesh of his palm purplish-blue.
Direct disciple... Isn't that what everyone is?
Having been humiliated in the great beast taming competition, Tang Hao's days had not been easy.
Although he achieved third place, which was the best performance within the Qingyun City Beast Taming Union, the looks he received from others were filled with strangeness and mockery; the respect and admiration he had imagined were nowhere to be seen.
His teacher, Chu Feng, had not seen him once since the end of the competition, as if he had abandoned him, leaving him completely neglected and uncared for.
This had already made him feel extrely depressed.
The comparison between the two teachers now made him feel even more unbalanced.
At this mont, the seeds of jealousy and resentnt started to germinate and take root in his heart.
Just like so children who are compared to others by their parents don't bla their own parents but instead grow resentful towards those other children, Tang Hao's bitterness now directed itself towards Lin Su and Zhou Qiyi.
If it were not for those two, the first place in the beast taming competition should have been his.
The admiration of others, the affection of his teacher, should all have been his!
He quietly lowered his head, but his eyes brimd with venom and hatred.
Once he entered the secret realm, he would definitely get his revenge!
…
"Since everyone is here, let's just open the entrance to the secret realm," said President Li of Qingyun City, quickly adjusting his expression. Seeing no objections from the others, he looked toward a cave beside the cliff, "Elder Crane, please open the secret realm."
Elder Crane?
Lin Su quickly realized that the person being called upon must be the emperor-level magical creature tasked with guarding the entrance to the secret realm.
Does that creature reside in this cave?
His face couldn't help but reveal a look of curiosity.
He had never seen an emperor-level magical creature before.
Although both Mu Yuxing and Qi Yunhan had emperor-level beasts, constrained by their Beast Taming Spaces, they only possessed the strength of monarch-level beasts.
It is said that emperor-level magical creatures have a preliminary grasp of the rules and can even speak human language. Lin Su wondered what this emperor-level creature looked like; whether it would be more imposing than the Eight-Ard Rock Demon...
Watching the figure slowly walking out of the cave, Lin Su couldn't help but gap open-mouthed.
It was a pet beast about the size of an ostrich, adorned with colorful feathers, with a long tail trailing behind like a peacock. Its slender neck was proudly raised, with a seven-colored plu on its head, and its sharp, elongated beak glead with a lustrous shine, every move exuding an elegant deanor.
Such an appearance had nothing to do with being imposing.
But its attractiveness was off the charts.
Comparing the appearance of this pet beast with the exotic beasts species Lin Su knew, he quickly recognized the species of the emperor-tier pet beast in front of him.
Higher emperor species, Seven-Colored Cloud Crane.
It was a very famous exotic beast species in the God of War world, not just because of its extrely high attractiveness but also because its Talent Skills were sowhat special.
The evolutionary path of this species started with the higher leader species, the Three-Colored Sparrow, which then evolved into the higher monarch species, the Five-Colored Kite, and from there into the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane. As it evolved, the number of feather colors gradually increased, and the number of feather colors represented the number of attributes it could master.
This was among the rare exotic beast species known for having many attributes that were harmonious rather than chaotic, and for being powerful and notorious in battle. It was also a pet beast unique to the God of War world; even the most basic Three-Colored Sparrow did not exist on Blue Star.
Although the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane was strong, it had its downsides; it had so many attributes that it was difficult for it to fully master the rules and break through the emperor tier to reach an immortal level.
The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane in front of Lin Su was also stuck at the emperor tier.
But what did that matter? It was good-looking!
Gazing at the stunningly beautiful Seven-Colored Cloud Crane, Lin Su's eyes were shining.
Powerful, mysterious, and elegant.
With such a pet beast speaking, one could only wonder what an appealing voice it might have.
Just as Lin Su thought about this, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane that had co out opened its mouth.
"Yo! Are all the little brats here?"
Lin Su: "…"
Listening to its voice, which sounded like a broken gong, his mind suddenly recalled a line of poetry from before the calamity on Blue Star.
Raucous and harsh to the ear…
Before Lin Su could regain his composure, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane conjured a large mirror with a flick of its wings. The ancient treasure mirror had four clearly indented slots. Even though there were no special glows or energy fluctuations on its surface, the luxurious and mysterious engraved inscriptions made it seem very extraordinary.
"Brought the Tokens? Co up and place them yourselves!"
The three powerful beings exchanged a strange look and silently took out their Tokens, placing them in the corresponding slots.
As the three Tokens filled three of the indentations, the ancient treasure mirror seed to be activated, with a radiant light moving across its surface. It wobbled slightly, as if trying to fly, yet it could not sustain itself due to lack of energy.
"he…tui!"
The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane spat out a seven-colored beam of light into the mirror, infusing it with enough energy to fill the last gap. The mirror, already activated by the Tokens, hovered in the void, reflecting a hidden portal. On the other side of the portal, one could vaguely see a world completely different from the scenery in the valley.
Was that the Nirvana Secret Realm?
Lin Su couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking through to the other side of the portal.
On the way here, Qi Yunhan and Lin Su ntioned that the entrance to the Nirvana Secret Realm did not always exist. It was sealed inside an object by a senior Beast Tar with a space-related pet beast, and it could only be opened by activating special Tokens from the four cities of the southern region, with at least three Tokens required for each activation.
If not for the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane's "hetui," the unveiling of the entrance to the Nirvana Secret Realm would probably have been a process full of grandeur...
Well, that didn't matter anymore.
Lin Su sneaked a glance at the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane, which was lazily waving its wings.
How did such a proper pet beast end up with a mouth?
"Go ahead," Qi Yunhan said to Lin Su with a slight smile. "After you enter, a jade tablet will appear in front of you. That is the teleportation tablet for the secret realm. If danger arises and it's beyond your ans, rember to shatter it in ti. Life is the most important thing."
"Understood, Uncle Qi!" Lin Su nodded emphatically and walked towards the portal.
The other two also entered after the admonishnt of the powerful beings. Tang Hao moved the quickest, stepping in without hesitation, followed by Zhou Qiyi and Lin Su.
Just before stepping through the portal, Zhou Qiyi looked back at Lin Su and whispered a warning, "Be careful of Tang Hao," then crossed over without any hesitation.
Be careful of Tang Hao?
A hint of confusion appeared in Lin Su's eyes.
Speaking of which, when he looked at Tang Hao earlier, he did indeed feel that sothing was not right about him.
Always frowning, as if soone owed him money.
Keeping his wits about him, Lin Su tentatively reached out to touch the portal. As his hand disappeared on the other side without incident, he confidently stepped through.
Imdiately after, he experienced a whirlwind of disorientation.
