Slow Fairy Road (Fairy Spirit Realm)

  Xiao Yao didn't expect that as soon as she made a move, she would stir up a large group of flying mice, each with an enormous head and extremely fast speed, instantly surrounding her in a flurry of white fur.

  This batch of giant flying squirrels suddenly seemed to have their blood ignited, their eyes turned red, their bodies full of murderous aura, staring at the culprit in front of them, and fiercely biting.

  Although the flying mouse's sharp teeth were not enough to penetrate its own skin, it was still painful to be bitten, let alone by a large group of them pouncing on itself and biting. Xiao Yao furrowed her brow, releasing her oppressive aura, mobilizing her yuan force, and several bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

  The Jin Mao flying mouse was a terrestrial beast, and its strength was not as good as that of the Yuan Ying. When it was hit by the magic of the Huashen period cultivator, it died on the spot. The rest all escaped from Xiao Yao's body, scattered in all directions, and hid in other cloud layers.

  Xiao Yao looked at the flying mice that were hit by the thunderbolt, all of which had turned into charred balls. Such skin and bones were completely unusable, so she could only use the ghostly creatures to poke around in the clouds again. When she saw a flying mouse escaping, she urged the ghostly creatures on, making sure to seal its throat within a foot, trying not to damage its intact skin and bones.

  To sum it up, this task of collecting flying mouse corpses was not too difficult for Xiao Yao. Except for the initial shock at seeing a large group of flying mice, everything went smoothly afterwards. It took less than half an hour to collect ten complete flying mouse corpses.

  Mission accomplished, Xiao Yao no longer lingered in battle, and after tossing the spoils of war into the Symbolic Ring, he urged the Foot Bucket to head deeper into the Cloud Sea, seeking the next target - the Saw-toothed Egret.

  The Saw-toothed Crane is a higher rank than the Brocade-winged Flying Mouse, with red hair and yellow beak. Its strength is roughly at the initial stage of Nirvana, not belonging to the group of Void Beasts. They usually appear in pairs, one male and one female, and can be said to be a pair of lovers living on the solid cloud above. In the boundless cloud sea of the Spiritual Realm, clouds will produce various mutations due to special environmental influences. The solid cloud where the Saw-toothed Crane builds its nest is one such mutation, which is not easy to disperse and can even support human weight.

  Xiao Yao followed the map to the range of Gyun Hai, where the cloud layer was thick and large, and both her line of sight and spiritual sense were greatly hindered. She first followed the trajectory of the cloud layer, slowly searching for a saw-toothed crane, but after more than an hour had passed, she still hadn't found one, and couldn't help but feel puzzled: according to ancient records, although the number of saw-toothed cranes was not as many as that of the golden-haired flying mouse, due to their bright plumage, they shouldn't be difficult to find. She had been circling around for a big circle, yet hadn't even seen a single feather, perhaps she hadn't found the right place.

  As she thought, she stepped onto a cloud beside her and walked two steps on the cloud. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across above her head, blocking out the sunlight. When she looked up, a red-haired crane bird with a length of several meters was hovering above her head, flapping its wings and letting red feathers fall.

  Xiao Yao's first reaction was that there must be a nest here, so she continued forward for another segment, and then saw in the center of this cloud a sunken cloud pit, inside which was a smaller saw-toothed stork with only its bright red head exposed, vigilantly looking towards her. The stork was hiding in the pit, surrounded by layers of cloud cover, making it impossible to see from the outside, no wonder she had wasted an hour's worth of effort.

  The male heron stood guard above, its eyes full of hostility towards this unexpected intruder. The female heron also glared at her with a fierce gaze and slowly emerged from the nest.

  At the moment when Xiao Yao released the Charms, a fierce battle broke out in an instant! The two saw-toothed cranes flew into the air, flapping their wings and emitting sharp cries. A gale formed by Yuan Li suddenly swept towards Xiao Yao. Meanwhile, the charms in front of Xiao Yao also flew forward, piercing through the gale to attack the two saw-toothed cranes.

  No matter how you say it, the saw-toothed crane is a powerful beast that can rival the gods of transformation. The magic it unleashes is incredibly strong, and even the nearby solid clouds are destroyed by its primal energy. However, Xiao Yao has not yet learned any transformation magic, and the spiritual shield she releases only has the power of a yuan infant, which is no match for the crane's attack. She can't withstand the storm for long and is quickly blown away, her body shattered into pieces. The powerful primal energy is like a heavy hammer striking her chest, sending her flying over 100 meters away. At the same time, a mournful bird cry echoes from the front, indicating that the demon has successfully hit one of the cranes.

  Xiao Yao only felt a dull pain in her chest, and her internal organs were shaking. Although she didn't spit out blood from the shock, she still covered her chest and abdomen and dry-heaved twice. Her physical body had long surpassed that of hundreds of demon cultivators in the transformation period, and this empty beast's power was indeed not to be underestimated, completely different from the brocade-winged flying mouse before.

  The serrated ibis, which was hit by the evil spirit, had a gash from its wing to its chest, with fresh blood flowing out of it. It looked like it was more seriously injured than Xiao Yao, but it still didn't fall down. Its aura became even more fierce and menacing, as if it had gone mad with rage. The companion bird beside it also had red eyes, and its breathing was frantic. The auras of the two evil birds suddenly merged into one, and in the next breath, an even more violent gust of wind wildly attacked Xiao Yao, followed by the sharp beaks of the two serrated ibises!

  Xiao Yao hastily activated the "Lei Xing Zhou", nearly one-fifth of her immortal energy instantly transformed into yuan force, forming a large purple shield that blocked the frenzied wind yuan force. In an instant, the two forces cancelled each other out.

  Two huge yellow beaks with jagged edges arrived on schedule, and before she could recall the evil spirits blown away by the hurricane, she punched each of the two bird mouths with a fist, beating them hard.

  "Ah!" Two more shrill and mournful cries, the two egrets' beaks were completely crushed by Xiao Yao, who also winced in pain and withdrew her fist. Her hands were imprinted with almost embedded tooth marks and stained with sticky bird saliva, which was extremely disgusting. Fortunately, at this moment, the ghost had returned, and she hastily ordered Zi Chi to chop down towards the necks of the two egrets that had not yet recovered from the pain.

  After the "crack" of shattered bones and flesh, fresh blood splattered all over Gongyang, and two crane heads fell to the ground simultaneously.

  Xiao Yao wiped the bloodstains off the ghostly apparitions, gazing at the two beheaded saw-toothed storks. She felt a pang of regret for having killed them so brutally; if she wanted to sell the remaining parts, they would definitely have to be discounted. With a sigh, she could only put away the bloody corpses and toss them into the talismanic seal.

  This battle she won was not very easy, but also did not make out full strength, still left the last Wanren fish fins, hunting this beast's achievement is twice as high as the saw-toothed crane.

  As soon as she thought of the rumors that this beast's strength was close to that of a Refining God cultivator, her eyes also revealed a hint of excitement, somewhat eager to try it out. Since she had yet to use her full strength in battle after reaching the Transformation God stage, this opportunity wasn't bad, and it would be just right to use this beast as a sparring partner!

  The habitat of the Wanren fish is far from the solid cloud area, hidden in a quiet corner deep in the sea of clouds. There is a bottomless deep pool there, which is unknown where it leads to, and it is one of the "Eight Wonders of the Cloud Sea" - "Magic Sky Pool". The Wanren fish lives under this strange pool.

  Xiao Yao urged the foot bucket to move forward while seizing the opportunity to enter the void and meditate in cultivation. After flying at high speed for nearly three hours, she finally saw the "Magic Sky Pool" and there were many cultivators surrounding the deep pool, roughly counting more than ten people.

  It turns out that the Wanren Fish is still the overlord of this North Cloud Sea, and within a radius of 10,000 miles, there is only one kind of Kong Beast, but it is extremely rare. Because its entire body is made up of some basic elixirs, which are materials needed for refining artifacts, the demand is extremely high in the low-end market, and the price is very high. Even if it is powerful and tyrannical, many cultivators come to hunt and kill it under the temptation of profit.

  Seeing someone else coming over, those cultivators repeatedly extended their divine sense to sweep back and forth on Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao also took this opportunity to size up the dozen or so people, and found that among them were both Dao cultivators and physical cultivators. The Dao cultivators were all in the Hua Shen realm, with the highest being only mid-stage, not much different from herself. As for the physical cultivators, Xiao Yao was unfamiliar with their cultivation system, so she couldn't say what specific stage they were at, but judging by their aura, they seemed to be equivalent to Hua Shen stage cultivators. From their positions, it seemed that these people didn't come together, but rather were two separate groups. One group was led by a woman in yellow robes with a delicate appearance, consisting of seven people; the other group was led by a middle-aged man with three white eyes, consisting of six people.

  Both sides saw that Xiao Yao was alone with only a spiritual pet, so they both withdrew their divine sense and didn't put her in their eyes, continuing to confront each other.

  After a moment, the three white-eyed male cultivator said to the yellow-shirted female cultivator: "Min Mengjiao, a stick of incense has passed, what do you think about the cooperation I mentioned just now?"
