Chapter 324: Suppression

In the Daweek World, storage equipment has always been extremely scarce.

Even the Tian Gong Ring in Wu Ming’s possession, with a capacity of only one dan, would immediately fetch an astronomical price if auctioned publicly!

Yet whether it was the Tian Gong Ring or the Tao Tie Cinnabar Bag, they could only store inanimate objects!

But what was Wu Ming seeing now?

One ferocious beast after another leaped directly from the void surrounding the Beast Tamer Sage, as if opening a paradise of a Celestial Immortal!

Moreover, it was a mobile little world! And it could contain living beings!

Wu Ming’s interest was instantly piqued.

“Even ordinary Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals, once their paradise is planted, cannot change its location. In daily conflicts, at most they can borrow domain and world power from afar. Portable paradises? Don’t even dream of it… but this Beast Tamer Sage…”

His eyes narrowed suddenly.

Under his Celestial Vision, the Beast Tamer Sage’s cultivation level was clearly displayed before him—merely at the fourth level! To achieve this, he must possess a treasure so precious that even Earth and Heaven Immortals would envy!

“But too bad… it’s not of much use to me…”

Wu Ming sighed inwardly.

His Huang Ting Paradise was planted within the main god’s space, and the power of the Main Temple, throughout the entire Daweek World, had no unreachable places.

Therefore, unlike other Earth Immortals, his paradise could be opened anytime and anywhere, and could even store living beings!

Thus, the secret of the Beast Tamer Sage drastically reduced its appeal to him.

“It’s not that I’m fearless…”

The Beast Tamer Sage sneered coldly, “It’s just that none of the people here today can leave alive, so what do I have to worry about?”

“Moo! Moo!”

As he sneered, another giant demon bull leaped from the black mist, wielding a huge iron fork, exuding a thousand-jin force, charging straight at Wu Ming.

The shocking demonic aura seemed to solidify the surrounding space, enough to make ordinary Grandmasters surrender without a fight!

“Not bad, a fourth-level demon beast?”

Wu Ming adjusted the jade crown atop his head. A puff of clear aura surged from his crown, forming the Three Flowers atop his head and Five Gases converging toward the Origin, transforming into a paradise scene!

“Ear… Earth Immortal?!”

The Beast Tamer Sage was momentarily stunned, especially when he saw the Daoist’s paradise pressing down, sweeping a beam of clear light that directly subdued his mighty bull demon, tossing it into his paradise. At this moment, it felt like losing a piece of his flesh, causing him to feel heartache: “How could this be so unlucky? Actually encountering an Earth Immortal, and even one who planted his paradise in the Governor’s Mansion? Are you kidding me?”

“Domain!”

Since the fight had already begun, Wu Ming had no intention of leaving any chance for the Beast Tamer Sage.

With a light shout, the phantom of his Huang Ting Paradise behind him expanded even further, even enveloping the entire Governor’s Mansion.

In the flickering clear light, the blood-sucking bats, iron-armored rhinos, green wolves, apes, and others who were still wreaking havoc instantly disappeared, all being subdued and sent into Wu Ming’s Huang Ting Paradise to contribute!

After all, his paradise had just been cultivated, equivalent to a wilderness, in urgent need of populating with living beings from the main world.

The omnipresence of the Main Temple meant that his Huang Ting Paradise was not limited to one location and could be opened anywhere in the Daweek World. This was an advantage he had planned for in advance.

“You… you…”

At this moment, Wu Ming, wielding the power of a fifth-level Earth Immortal, directly crushed the Beast Tamer Sage with his paradise, immediately putting the latter in a deadly predicament!

At this point, the Beast Tamer Sage gritted his teeth and released his last ferocious beast.

“Roar! Roar!”

Within the Governor’s Mansion, a monster several zhang tall instantly appeared, letting out a long roar toward the sky.

This creature possessed four legs and four horns, with the head of a panther and the eyes of a tiger. Its two elongated fangs were snow-white and razor-sharp, while its fur displayed a mottled pattern. Faintly visible on its chest was a cursive seal-script character—”Xi” (夕). Its back bore a bizarre carapace, the intricate patterns of which formed the character—”Nian” (年)!

As it roared, an ancient, savage malice emerged.

The ancient malevolent beast—Nian Xi!

“Indeed, worthy of being an ancient ferocious creature…”

Feeling the beast’s roar, which could even resist the crushing force of the paradise and the pulling force, Wu Ming’s expression turned slightly grave, then quickly shifted to mockery: “Beast Tamer Sage, do you really think you can do as you please with this Nian Xi beast?”

His expression was very peculiar, almost pitying: “Although the ancient ferocious beast Nian Xi is powerful, it has a fatal weakness, which is why it disappeared from history. Since I know you can summon this creature, how could I not prepare in advance?”

With a wave of his hand, he commanded, “Begin!”

“Fire!”

Unknown to when, numerous Qilin Guards had appeared on the rooftops on both sides, holding bamboo tubes and fire starters. After igniting them, they roared loudly.

Crackling sounds filled the air!

The bamboo tubes contained purple gunpowder, which exploded on the Nian Xi beast, bursting into flames and causing its carapace and fur to become instantly pitted and scarred.

“Although the poison of the Nian Xi beast is fierce, it fears thunder-fire, green bamboo vapor… and also cinnabar…”

Wu Ming shook his head, and another stack of talismans appeared in his hand.

These talismans were not made of ordinary yellow paper but were specially soaked in top-grade cinnabar, pure crimson in color. As he slightly shook them, golden runes on the talismans flashed wildly, and red light scattered everywhere, splashing onto the Nian Xi beast, causing the monster to scream in apparent fear.

“Kill!”

Wu Ming’s eyes were as cold as swords. A stack of talismans flew into the air one after another, transforming into a giant crimson sword, which swiftly slashed down before the Beast Tamer Sage could react.

“Roar! Roar!”

The Nian Xi beast roared, unmoving.

After a long while, a huge head finally rolled off, bouncing a few times on the ground.

“No… impossible…”

The Beast Tamer Sage’s face was filled with disbelief, and he was soon wrapped in heavy clear light, like a tiny insect sealed in amber.

“Cows have bezoars, dogs have dog stones… Although the ancient Nian Xi beast was fierce, its meat is highly nutritious, its blood can generate bone marrow, and feeding it to the elderly or children can strengthen their bodies… Of course, the most important thing is the treasure inside it, which can neutralize its own deadly poison. When used in combination, it can transform the poison into a nourishing medicine. Its skin, fur, and carapace can also be used to make divine armor… truly a treasure trove from head to toe!”

Wu Ming waved his hand, and within the clear light, an object flew out from the hill-sized Nian beast’s corpse, landing in his hand.

“Beast Tamer Sage! Did you specially come here to give me a gift?”

“You… cough!”

The sealed Beast Tamer Sage spat out three liters of blood, actually fainting from the shock. This was due to severe injuries and a damaged soul, with little hope of recovery.

“Can’t even withstand such a blow? How boring!”

Wu Ming shook his head, playing with the stone-like object in his hand, and turned his gaze to Qi Lin, who had been carried in on a soft stretcher.

“Is this the Nian Xi beast’s treasure?”

Qi Lin’s eyes lit up: “Immortal Master, for obtaining this for me, please make any request you have!”

“What I desire, you probably cannot give…”

Wu Ming smiled: “At this moment, what we need most is for the Governor to recover quickly and take charge of the overall situation!”

With a wave of his hand, the stone-like treasure transformed into a streak of light, its fine powder dissolving and seeping into Qi Lin’s body.

Normally, to use this treasure, one had to boil it for three days and nights with controlled heat, then have a master herbalist prepare it into medicine, which would be slowly consumed to gradually draw out the Nian beast’s poison.

But Wu Ming couldn’t wait that long. He directly melted the treasure with the power of an Earth Immortal, secretly helping Qi Lin refine the medicinal power.

Crunch! Crunch!

Qi Lin’s face turned bright red, his veins bulged all over his body, and behind him, a black Qilin shape appeared.

“Roar! Roar!”

Who knew how long it had been, but with the mighty roar of the ink Qilin, Qi Lin sprang up like a carp, spitting out a mouthful of black clotted blood.

Pfft!

This black blood immediately corroded the ground upon contact, emitting white smoke. After spitting it out, Qi Lin’s complexion immediately improved, and his body emitted a sound like popping beans.

“Thank you, Immortal Master, for your help! I still have some personal matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”

Qi Lin said with a strong voice, looking left and right, fully displaying the majesty of a Governor.

“Black Da, take the Qilin Guards and follow me to kill some people!”

“Understood!”

Seeing their commander return, the Qilin Guards were filled with renewed morale, shouting loudly.

“With Qi Lin’s influence and prestige in Pingshan Commandery, suppressing the rebellion should be a simple matter. However, tonight will likely be filled with bloodshed…”

Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders and came before the unconscious Beast Tamer Sage: “But, what does that have to do with me?”

With a big wave of his hand, the Beast Tamer Sage was sucked into his paradise. Taking advantage of the night, Wu Ming quickly left the scene.

Although he knew Qi Lin would not dare to break his word with him, the man’s mind was cold and calculating, a true dragon-like temperament, better to have less contact.

By the time Wu Ming left the city, he could already faintly hear the sounds of battle coming from the Governor’s residence, and the bright flames even reached the sky…

…

Inside the Huang Ting Paradise.

This was Wu Ming’s own small world, although it could only exist relying on the main god’s space, but at this time it already spanned hundreds of miles.

Thanks to the initial support from the Main Temple’s primal energy, its development was much better compared to ordinary Earth Immortals.

According to the secret classics of the Yuqing Dao sect, the first paradises opened by Earth Immortals might only span a few miles and contain absolutely no vitality, like a barren desert!

No! Even if there was only sand in the paradise, it was considered a high-grade material, representing great potential for development.

After opening their paradises, Earth Immortals first had to regulate the living beings within, periodically opening the paradise to draw in the Daweek World’s earth energy, transplanting plants and living creatures, and finally humans.

Theoretically, the higher the level of development, the greater the hope of future advancement to a Heavenly Paradise.

But Wu Ming had planted his Huang Ting Paradise within the main god’s space from the very beginning, receiving massive support from the power of multiple worlds. Within its hundred-mile expanse, most of it was a wild forest-like terrain, with grasslands at the edges and several rivers.

Some small life forms like flowers, birds, fish, and insects were already naturally surviving and reproducing there.

If other Earth Immortals saw this scene, they would be envious to the point of death! Although Wu Ming himself wouldn’t tell them anyway.

At this moment, within the Huang Ting Paradise, the giant bull demon mooed loudly, occasionally chewing on grass leaves. Meanwhile, golden-furred monkeys, green wolves, and other demon beasts were actively chasing each other in the forest, seemingly quite accustomed to their new environment.
