Immortal Path Space

Chapter 308: Advancement of the Bee Queen

After returning to his residence, Wang Hong secluded himself in a closed cultivation room. He took out over a dozen vials of second-tier essence blood.

Spending a whole day, he refined the bloodline power within them and stored it in a small, delicate Jade vial, where a tiny amount of liquid swirled at the bottom.

With a bit of that bloodline power and some Poisonous Bee royal jelly, he concocted a vial of Spirit Honey, following the preferred taste of the Bee Queen.

It had taken the Poisonous Bee Queen more than a year within the Space to absorb this bloodline power. Then, nearly a decade had passed within the Space, where it consumed a substantial amount of Spiritual Objects. Finally, the Poisonous Bee Queen met his expectations and advanced to a second-tier Demonic Beast.

After reaching the second tier, the offspring of the Poisonous Bee Queen hatched, already possessing the initial cultivation level of a first-tier Demonic Beast. Unlike before when it took time for the young bees to reach the first tier, these were much stronger right from the start.

Although the strength of the bee offspring had improved, their reproductive numbers had significantly decreased. In the past, they laid thousands of eggs in a day, but now it was reduced to only a hundred per day. Fortunately, time passed much quicker within the Space, allowing for rapid cultivation.

Eventually, the overall strength of the bee swarm should see an improvement.

While Wang Hong was engrossed in nurturing the Poisonous Bees, the Boundary Mountain Range had erupted into chaos. Over a hundred Flying Boats from the East Zhou Cultivation Realm gathered and flew above Jin'an City.

The oppressive aura released by these twenty thousand Foundation Building cultivators alone was enough to make the Demonic Beasts below tremble.

Then, tens of thousands of Spiritual Weapons rained down upon Jin'an City's protective Large Formation. The Light Screen formed by Jin'an City's protective Large Formation only lasted for fifteen minutes before dissipating into specks of light.

Following that, tens of thousands of Spiritual Weapons descended like a torrent upon the Demonic Beast horde below. The Demonic Beasts fled in panic, but there was nowhere to hide.

In just a moment, a large number of them were killed or wounded. Some Demonic Beasts tried to escape Jin'an City, but they found Flying Boats guarding the outskirts, ready to kill them on sight.

Their mission was not to conquer the city but to slay the Demonic Beasts, making the Demon Clan incapable of further eastward invasion.

At this moment, ten third-tier Demonic Beasts flew out of the city. They scattered and fled in all directions, unwilling to engage in combat.

However, with over a hundred Golden Core cultivators on the scene, there was no way they would let them escape.

These cultivators had been oppressed by the Demon Clan for a long time, and even though they hadn't actively participated in the battle, they were burning with rage.

The ten third-tier Demonic Beasts were immediately torn to pieces by a group of Golden Core cultivators and their remains stored in Storage Bags. Not a single strand of fur was left behind, but with limited resources and a high demand, this left the Foundation Building cultivators hoping for some leftovers disappointed.

An hour later, the several hundred thousand Demonic Beasts that had occupied Jin'an City were exterminated in an instant.

Over twenty thousand Foundation Building cultivators descended from their Flying Boats to clean up the battlefield, salvaging only the most valuable parts of the Demonic Beasts.

As for the lower-value demon corpses, they had no choice but to leave them behind, a collective sigh of regret hanging in the air.Their mission this time was a surprise attack, and they couldn't afford to waste too much time. The recaptured Jin'an City could be handed over to cultivators from the other two cities.

Jin'an City had been occupied by the Western Demon Tribe for over a decade. Finally, it was back in the hands of human cultivators.

After boarding the Flying Boats, the hundred of them set forth towards the Boundary Mountain Range once again, in a grand procession.

They located gathering points of Demonic Beasts within the Boundary Mountain Range and directly exterminated them.

After two days of cleaning up, the entire Boundary Mountain Range had been cleared, leaving only a few small gathering points with about a dozen Demonic Beasts each, which they left for the cultivators in the rear to handle.

Two days later, the fleet of Flying Boats crossed the Boundary Mountain Range and entered the West Zhou Demon Realm.

On the main path leading from the Boundary Mountain Range to the West Zhou Demon Realm, the Demon Clan had established a city similar to Jin'an City.

However, the Demon Clan's city appeared much more rugged, with various Demonic Beasts bustling about. The streets within the city were chaotic, often witnessing Demonic Beasts relieving themselves wherever they pleased.

The number of Demonic Beasts residing here amounted to at least a million, including the Demon Clan reinforcements that had arrived from nearby in the past few days.

But the majority of these million Demon Clan members were low-tier Demonic Beasts, with only a few thousand second-tier Demonic Beasts among them. Moreover, many of these Demonic Beasts were unable to fly and posed no threat to the multitude of Flying Boats.

With such a rare opportunity at hand, over a hundred Flying Boats descended upon the city below...

After various major sects, families, and forces mobilized and headed for the Boundary Mountain Range, the Demonic Beasts lurking in different parts of the Cultivation World, though unaware of the exact situation, seized this opportunity to launch attacks.

They, along with some human cultivators they had subjugated, began assaulting nearby families and marketplaces.

Among these forces, any that carried a reputation had already dispatched most of their fighting strength to the Boundary Mountain Range.

Unable to withstand the onslaught, these small forces were eliminated by the lurking Demonic Beasts, who had spent decades preparing for this moment.

Once the Demonic Beasts had revealed themselves, they began to contact and gather, rapidly bolstering their forces like a snowball rolling downhill.

As human forces concentrated to launch a sudden attack, they killed a significant number of Demon Clan members. Simultaneously, within the heart of the Human Clan territory, the Demon Clan struck at the roots of the humans.

Of course, only a small number of them managed to infiltrate this deeply. They could only target smaller forces, as they dared not risk their lives by attacking large cities, especially given their current limited strength. Any city could easily deploy a defensive Light Screen that they wouldn't be able to breach.

During this chaotic period when the lurking Demonic Beasts were launching attacks everywhere, Treasure Hunters hidden in various places felt that this was a golden opportunity and seized it.

This unfortunate turn of events spelled trouble for loose cultivators who had escaped the cities and were living peacefully in the mountains. They were either captured and killed by Treasure Hunters or devoured by lurking Demonic Beasts.

In the Mountain Valley base, Luo Zhongjie was training a hundred new recruits.

Some time ago, Azure Void City suddenly restricted entry and exit, and rumors spread that Foundation Building cultivators from all over had been conscripted.

Although he currently couldn't contact Wang Hong, he believed that Wang Hong should still be in the city. Given Wang Hong's status in the Qingxu Sect, achieving this wouldn't be too difficult.

Just then, more than twenty Foundation Building cultivators arrived at the entrance of Mountain Valley on their flying instruments and stopped there.

"This is the place. I heard that this is East Zhou Trading Company's Spiritual Herb garden. I once came nearby to observe and saw a large quantity of goods coming in and out," a thin, black-robed cultivator reported to the white-haired old man leading the group.

"Listen carefully, those outside. You have one incense stick's worth of time to leave, or bear the consequences," a loud voice came from within Mountain Valley, separated by a formation.
