"The Mystic Sky Realm has opened!" someone exclaimed.
These words acted like a starting pistol, sending the crowd rushing beneath the Mirror Lake of the Mystic Sky. They each took out their Trial Tokens, channeling divine energy to activate them.
In an instant, countless tokens emitted a sapphire glow, enveloping their holders. Guided by an unseen force, the people slowly rose into the air, merging into the Mirror Lake before vanishing without a trace.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng finally understood how the Trial Tokens were meant to be used.
Eager to encounter demons and monsters, he quickly followed the crowd beneath the Mirror Lake and activated his token.
A cerulean light wrapped around him, lifting him gently into the air before he plunged headfirst into the lake.
At that moment, Gu Qingfeng didn’t feel like he was entering water—it was as if he had stepped into another world.
Space twisted and warped around him, disorienting him completely.
After what felt like an eternity, the spatial distortions ceased, and a strange force tugged at him, hurling him forward.
When Gu Qingfeng regained his senses, he found himself in an entirely different world—the Mystic Sky Realm.
"So this is the Mystic Sky Realm? Ah! Such dense demonic energy! Finally, I’m home!"
Gu Qingfeng gazed at the ancient landscape before him, his face alight with manic joy.
He scanned his surroundings and realized that, despite entering with a crowd, he was now completely alone. Clearly, the spatial distortions had scattered everyone.
But he didn’t mind. To him, this place felt like home.
He sniffed the air repeatedly, like a starving wolf catching the scent of prey.
"The demonic energy is stronger this way. Let’s go there! Hehehe... My little darlings, your lord has arrived!"
With a sinister laugh, Gu Qingfeng transformed into a streak of light and shot into the distance.
Before long, he encountered his first monster.
It was a Human Yuan Realm tiger demon, its body covered in fiery red fur, wreathed in blazing flames with molten lava-like patterns coursing across its skin.
A Flaming Tiger!
Roar!
The Flaming Tiger let out a thunderous growl as it saw Gu Qingfeng charging toward it. Sensing that his opponent was only at the Divine Soul Realm, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in its eyes.
With a powerful leap, it pounced at Gu Qingfeng.
Bam!
The Flaming Tiger crashed into Gu Qingfeng—only to feel like an egg smashing against a rock.
The impact nearly extinguished its own flames.
Dazed, it tumbled to the ground, still trying to process what had happened when it suddenly felt a crushing grip on the back of its neck. It was hoisted into the air.
"Pathetic Human Yuan trash! Can’t even trigger the system notification. What’s the point of you?"
Boom!
The Flaming Tiger was obliterated with a single punch.
"Human Yuan Realm monsters are useless now. I need at least Earth Yuan level or higher!" Gu Qingfeng grumbled in disappointment.
Suddenly, explosions echoed from deep within the distant mountains.
A surge of powerful demonic energy erupted.
Gu Qingfeng sensed it immediately, his face lighting up with excitement. "An Earth Yuan Peak demon!"
Whoosh!
He vanished from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared several miles away, right at the epicenter of the demonic energy.
But when he saw what was happening, his joy turned to fury.
Three Earth Yuan Realm cultivators were ganging up on a Crimson Thunder Leopard!
The leopard was being overwhelmed, its body riddled with wounds from divine weapons, crimson magma-like blood pooling beneath it.
"An Earth Yuan Peak Crimson Thunder Leopard! Its demon core is worth a fortune. Fellow Daoists, let’s take it down together and split the spoils," one of them suggested.
The other two nodded. "Agreed!"
They gathered their divine energy, preparing to deliver the final blow.
"STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU BASTARDS!"
Gu Qingfeng’s roar startled the trio, freezing them mid-action as they turned to face the unexpected intruder.
"Who are you? Trying to take a share of the spoils?"
"A share? SCREW THAT! GET LOST!" Gu Qingfeng snarled.
The three men’s faces twisted in anger—but their fury lasted only a second before it turned to horror.
Gu Qingfeng had pulled out a Heavenly Thunder Pearl.
The trio gulped nervously as they watched the crackling lightning within the orb.
"Sir, you’re going too far—"
"GET THE HELL OUT!"
Gu Qingfeng made a throwing motion, sending the three scrambling away in terror.
The Heavenly Thunder Pearl’s intimidation was absolute—like waving a live grenade in the modern world.
"Wait!"
In a flash, Gu Qingfeng blocked their escape.
Trembling under the threat of the pearl, they stammered, "We’ll leave the leopard to you! What else do you want?"
"What else? You three violated the Wild Demon Protection Act by hunting freely. Pay the fine!"
The men blinked in confusion.
Wild Demon Protection Act? What the hell was that?!
"Stop wasting time! Hand over your spatial rings." Gu Qingfeng casually tossed the Heavenly Thunder Pearl up and down.
The trio’s eyes followed the orb’s movement like hypnotized prey.
In the end, under the threat of the pearl, they reluctantly surrendered their rings and fled in disgrace.
Once they were gone, Gu Qingfeng stashed the pearl and turned to the Crimson Thunder Leopard with a grin.
"Little darling, are you hurt badly? I’ve got healing pills here. Want one?"
He actually tossed a recovery pill toward the leopard—partly out of concern that its injuries might hinder its full strength.
But instead of accepting it, the Crimson Thunder Leopard swatted the pill away with its paw.
"Treacherous human! Don’t pretend to care! Trying to poison me? You’re not fooling anyone!" the leopard spat in human speech.
Gu Qingfeng’s face darkened with rage. "You DARE waste my pill?! You’re DEAD!"
Before the words even finished, he teleported in front of the leopard, his hand shooting out to grab it.
Roar!
The Crimson Thunder Leopard retaliated with a thunder-infused slash, aiming to gut him open.
Ding!
Host attacked by Crimson Thunder Leopard.
Constitution +100,000 +100,000 +100,000...
The familiar voice of the system rang out, and Gu Qingfeng froze mid-motion, nearly moved to tears.
"That voice... Hehehe... I’ve missed it so damn much!"
The leopard was baffled. Why wasn’t this human screaming in pain? Why was he laughing like a maniac instead?
But it didn’t have time to ponder. Severely injured, it needed to finish this fight quickly and find a place to recover.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Furious attacks rained down on Gu Qingfeng as the system’s notifications chimed incessantly.
Gu Qingfeng stood there, eyes closed in bliss, as if listening to the most beautiful symphony in the world.
