On the day after Shi Dixuan took the pass, Yang Mu could no longer see him.
Having idled around the Sect for a few days, Yang Mu was also prepared to enter the Secret Realm. As an elder, he didn’t need a pass to enter.
The back mountain was completely separated from the Sect by an array. At the entrance, two old men were guarding and there was nothing unusual about them.
These two old men had only reached the Qi Refining stage and had been placed here by the Sect to guard the back mountain. They had been leaning on their staffs and dozing off, but when they sensed someone approaching, they opened their eyes.
A faint smile appeared on the wrinkled face of one of them, and he said, “Elder Yang, are you planning to enter the Secret Realm?”
Although these two old men had a much lower cultivation level than Yang Mu, Yang Mu felt somewhat uncomfortable with these seniors who looked decades older than him using honorific titles.
Yang Mu understood that this was the custom in this land. The strong ruled, and everything was decided by strength. So, he didn’t dwell on this matter.
He nodded.
Usually, only disciples of the sect would come to this realm, and higher-ranking elders would never set foot here. These two old men recalled the cold and aloof young man who had entered here a few days ago and understood the reason for Yang Mu’s visit.
After all, he was his disciple, and for him to come to this dangerous area, his master would naturally be concerned. Although Elder Yang appeared cold and distant on the surface, he was actually quite attentive and gentle at heart.
The old men’s expressions seemed to say, ‘We understand everything,’ and they opened the array, stepped aside, and allowed Yang Mu to enter.
Yang Mu had come, out of curiosity, and he had no intention of checking on his disciple.
As he entered the back mountain, the rugged terrain suddenly transformed the moment Yang Mu set foot here, and a picturesque scene unfolded before him.
A previously nonexistent lake suddenly appeared not far from Yang Mu. The pale red sun hung in the sky, and the lake’s surface shimmered with ripples, reflecting the layered mountains.

Without using sword-flying techniques, Yang Mu walked while admiring the scenery around him.
The world here is incredibly beautiful, filled with the chirping of birds and the scent of flowers all around. The sun in the half-sky seems to have cast a golden hue over this entire realm, appearing hazy and almost surreal.
As Yang Mu leisurely strolled around, he encountered a few seemingly fierce wild beasts. Uninterested in bothering with these creatures, he simply evaded them.
One benefit of humans capturing many members from the Beast Clan was that those with lower cultivation levels could traverse most forests without worrying about being attacked by them.
Even if there were Beast Clan members within a forest, they wouldn’t dare to attack humans. Once it was known that the Beast Clan existed in a certain forest, many highly skilled human cultivators would visit that forest. Even if the Beast Clan’s strength was slightly superior, they couldn’t withstand the combined onslaught of numerous humans.
The Beast Clan had a high starting point for cultivation; as soon as they awakened their spiritual wisdom, they would directly reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Although their strength at the Foundation Establishment stage was considerably greater than that of humans at the same level, the Beast Clan found it extremely difficult to advance further.
Most of the time, by the time humans had transcended the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the Golden Core stage, the Beast Clan might still be lingering in the mid-level Foundation Establishment stage.
Humans had also invented Beast Storage Bags and Beast Controlling Collars. With these two items, even if the Beast Clan’s strength surpassed that of humans, they could still be controlled by them.
For various reasons, the Beast Clan had been heavily exploited by humans and had no resistance.
Until the appearance of Shi Dixuan, this miserable situation for the Beast Clan was reversed.
***
In this realm, Yang Mu strolled around as leisurely as if he were in his own backyard.
After wandering around for a while in this illusory world, occasionally experiencing some simulated lightning strikes, Yang Mu simply waved his hand, causing those thunderous storms to disappear abruptly.
This illusion would also simulate low-level Beast Clan members attacking humans. However, when these simulated Beast Clan members couldn’t withstand the attacks of humans, they would vanish into thin air.
The beasts encountered here were all real.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in this place, Yang Mu felt as though he had explored every nook and cranny of this realm. However, he hadn’t seen any sign of Shi Dixuan, which piqued his curiosity.
Nevertheless, Yang Mu had no worries about Shi Dixuan’s safety. After all, Shi Dixuan couldn’t die, and he still had a long life ahead of him. Longer than Yang Mu’s previous life. How could such a small place pose any threat to Shi Dixuan?
Feeling a bit bored, Yang Mu decided to leave this place. Just as he was preparing to fly away on his sword, he suddenly heard a few faint sobbing sounds.
The faint little sounds seemed highly discordant in this vast world, much like the sounds made by an injured animal. These sounds reminded Yang Mu of when his family’s dog was beaten for urinating everywhere in the house in his previous life.
Yang Mu’s gaze scanned the surroundings, and his ears perked up, trying to pinpoint the source of these faint sobs.
His gaze locked onto a particular spot, and with a quick dash, Yang Mu arrived in front of a gray-brown rock. Something seemed to be trapped beneath it, as the rock occasionally moved slightly, giving off an eerie vibe.
Crouching down to take a look, Yang Mu discovered a tiny member of the Beast Clan trapped beneath the rock. Its shiny black eyes rolled around, its small black nose was moist, and a pink tongue occasionally extended to moisten its lips. It struggled to free itself from the rock, emitting pitiful squeaks.
The spark of spiritual wisdom in its eyes indicated that it was an awakened member of the Beast Clan.
As the tiny creature continued to whimper and wrinkle its nose in distress, the rock was suddenly lifted away. A hand grabbed its little neck, and it was lifted into the air.
The creature with round, shiny eyes met a pair of phoenix-shaped ones.
“…”
“…”
Both parties fell into silence.
The tiny Beastman had clearly not expected to encounter a human, leaving it stunned.
Yang Mu, on the other hand, couldn’t help but think that the creature he was holding bore a striking resemblance to his previous life’s pet dog, only in miniature form. Its round, snow-white body, short limbs tucked under its furry coat, and now being held in Yang Mu’s hand with its four small paws hanging naturally down.
There was a tuft of black fur on its tiny forehead, and because of the scare, its head remained frozen with a slightly open mouth, revealing a delicate pink tongue.
Yang Mu’s eyes lit up. Could this creature truly be a small dog from the continent? Is it a good choice to keep it by his side?
Seeing this little dog reminded him of his pet dog, Wang Cai, in his past life, whom he would never see again. Now, finding a dog on this continent and keeping it by his side seemed like an excellent choice.
“Little dog, how about I call you Wang Cai from now on?” Yang Mu rubbed the furry head of the little dog and felt a sense of contentment.
The small dog was still suspended in mid-air, its limbs hanging limply. It seemed to understand Yang Mu’s words and, after he spoke those sentences, its round eyes suddenly widened.
Its tiny mouth opened as if it wanted to speak.
Yang Mu widened his eyes. Could the Beastmen directly speak in their beast forms? Could this little dog be a heaven-sent golden opportunity, a helper to ensure his future success?
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Mu brought his face closer, thinking that the small dog could speak.
However, the little dog suddenly let out a loud sneeze, spraying saliva all over Yang Mu’s face…
“…” Yang Mu
Looks like Yang Mu wil bring another beastman with him ~ I wonder what Shi Dixuan will think
Thank you for the chapter 💕
(^３^)╱~~
thats so cute omg
(ﾉ˶>ᗜ<˵)ﾉ
Doggy doggy doggy.
I never understood the sentiment of beating a dog for peeing, it doesn’t really accomplish anything other than making the animal fear you.
But he’s cute, is Wang Cai just the colour white? Or was it very handsome? I swear I’ve seen that dog name before in another CN novel. It’s a very popular dog name.
Wang Cai literally means pet dog in chinese 🤣 Maybe that’s why it is a common name haha
I can’t believe it…
That’s just so sad and funny, the most common dog name!! Pet dog!
🤣I know right. They’re too lazy to think some other names for their poor pet dogs 🤣
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
