Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Though called a mountain, it is actually a middle-grade Dao Artifact.

Legend has it, the Myriad Beasts Sect's Myriad Beasts Mountain in ancient times was an Immortal Artifact, but its whereabouts are now unknown.

The Hundred Beasts Mountain on the other side of Myriad Beasts Secret Realm is also an inferior Dao Artifact.

Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Treasure Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and Immortal Artifacts are the class distinctions of equipment in the Cultivation World.

Among them, the Qi Cultivation Stage is suited for Magic Artifacts, the Foundation Establishment Stage is suited for Spiritual Artifacts, the Golden Core Stage is suited for Treasure Artifacts, and the Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement, and Body Integration Stages are respectively suited for inferior, middle-grade, high-grade, and supreme Dao Artifacts, while only those above the Tribulation Crossing Stage are suited for Immortal Artifacts.

Dao Artifacts contain their own Dao Artifact spaces, and most have Artifact Spirits within. Tianxiang Valley only has one Dao Artifact publicly known, which is the Insightful Mirror of the Ancestral Master Hall, illustrating the rarity and preciousness of Dao Artifacts.

As for Immortal Artifacts, they are even more so a legendary existence.

For thousands of years, numerous cultivators have tried to claim the two Dao Artifacts in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, and obviously, they all failed.

Yu Qingtan and others entered Thousand Beasts Mountain, not to climb a mountain, but to enter the Dao Artifact space of Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm is used by the Myriad Beasts Sect to test its disciples, and Thousand Beasts Mountain and Hundred Beasts Mountain are the ultimate trial grounds.

Yu Qingtan passed through the channel previously guarded by Ximen Qing and others and saw a thick white fog in front of her. Walking into the fog, she unconsciously arrived at a place shrouded in grey haze all around.

Her Divine Sense reached out but could only probe up to thirty feet, with nothing else in sight.

At this moment, a little girl's voice appeared overhead.

"Release your Spiritual Beast!"

Yu Qingtan did as instructed and let out Xiao Tao.

About Thousand Beasts Mountain and Hundred Beasts Mountain, there is scant information circulated in the outside world, but there are many conjectures and speculations.

For instance, that both Dao Artifacts have Artifact Spirits and preside over the trials within.

"That voice just now must have been issued by the Artifact Spirit of Thousand Beasts Mountain," Yu Qingtan thought to herself.

After Xiao Tao came out, Yu Qingtan felt her body, Spiritual Power, and Divine Sense were all suppressed and confined.

Then, from the dense fog around, a huge scorpion appeared.

"A Second Stage early phase Demonic Black Thick-Tail Scorpion."

A moment of tension seized Yu Qingtan's heart; after all, she detested scorpions!

The Black Thick-Tail Scorpion charged straight for Yu Qingtan, who remained motionless.

Xiao Tao seemed to understand the situation and stood in front of Yu Qingtan, baring his teeth at the Black Thick-Tail Scorpion that was only slightly smaller than him.

Clearly, the intention of Thousand Beasts Mountain was to have the Spiritual Beast battle this Black Thick-Tail Scorpion.

Yu Qingtan was somewhat worried about the foolish wolf but felt at ease upon realizing she could still control the System Space and could recall Xiao Tao at any moment.

Moreover, Yu Qingtan had been feeding Xiao Tao the meat from a Third Stage Heavenly Demon Eagle, Jiukong. Despite the slow digestion, Xiao Tao had already reached the peak of the early Second Stage and was on the brink of breaking into the mid-Second Stage.

Although he couldn't cast spells, Xiao Tao was very fast and agile, with sharp fangs and teeth for attack and fur for defense, both of which were considered superior within his rank.

At this moment, the Black Thick-Tail Scorpion had moved its four pairs of walking legs and charged at Xiao Tao with its front pincers raised swiftly.

The Black Thick-Tail Scorpion's body was covered with hard carapace, and its long tail, which contained the poison gland, was extremely flexible.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Tao also revealed his sharp wolf claws and charged forward.

The Black Thick-Tail Scorpion tried to clamp down on Xiao Tao's front legs with its pincers, but Xiao Tao was agile enough to dodge the attack and managed to slash the Black Thick-Tail Scorpion's right front pincer with his claws.

Unfortunately, it only left a mark before being pushed back by the stabbing tail.

After several bouts, neither could gain the upper hand over the other.

Xiao Tao was more agile, but the defense of the Black Thick-Tail Scorpion far surpassed that of Xiao Tao.

"Xiao Tao, take out the Sun Luminous Stone," Yu Qingtan suddenly remembered from the information she read and called out to Xiao Tao.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao created distance, came to Yu Qingtan's side, and took out a dazzlingly bright stone from the Storage Bag on her waist.

Normally, Yu Qingtan mainly used the System Space, and the Storage Bag on her waist only contained some daily necessities and items of low value. She had not even branded it with her Divine Sense, so Xiao Tao was able to use it as well.

According to the information, scorpion-type demonic beasts hide during the day and come out at night, afraid of strong light.

The Sun Luminous Stone is a type of stone that can emit strong light. The reason why Moonlight Stones are mainly used for illumination is that Sun Luminous Stone is a kind of spirit ore, less abundant, and the light it produces is too strong.

Indeed, under the strong light of the Sun Luminous Stone, the Black Coarse-Tailed Scorpion didn't move a muscle.

Xiao Tao, gripping the Sun Luminous Stone in his mouth, charged towards the Black Coarse-Tailed Scorpion, plunging his sharp claws into its brain through the eyes on its back, killing the scorpion.

"Xiao Tao, well done!"

Yu Qingtan praised.

"Ao ao, ao ao ao ao～"

Xiao Tao was also very excited, as this was the first time he had killed a Second Stage opponent.

The restrictions on Yu Qingtan's body lifted, and she collected the corpse of the Black Coarse-Tailed Scorpion.

Yu Qingtan felt a slight dizziness, and then she found herself in a huge square, with Xiao Tao by her side.

"Congratulations on reaching the second layer of Thousand Beasts Mountain, please learn the Heart Sensing Technique within three days."

At that moment, the little girl's voice rang in her ears again.

Yu Qingtan looked around and saw quite a few people on the square, each with at least one spiritual beast by their side.

Yu Qingtan also spotted some of the cultivators she had battled demon cultivators with previously, though each cultivator and their spiritual beast were enclosed within a transparent barrier.

The cultivators were either looking at the jade pillar in the center of the square or deeply contemplating.

Yu Qingtan also looked towards the central jade pillar, and sure enough, it recorded a spell, the Heart Sensing Technique.

After carefully reading the introduction, Yu Qingtan learned that the Heart Sensing Technique is a Second Stage spell used to communicate with spiritual beasts.

If she learned the Heart Sensing Technique, Yu Qingtan would be able to communicate directly with Xiao Tao.

Yu Qingtan was instantly intrigued, carefully read the cultivation method, and then began to comprehend it.

Having decent comprehension skills, two days later, Yu Qingtan had learned the Heart Sensing Technique, and the system panel also displayed the introduction to the Heart Sensing Technique.

"Xiao Tao, I've learned the Heart Sensing Technique!"

Yu Qingtan said happily.

"Ao ao, ao ao ao ao ao ao?"

This time, she understood Xiao Tao's chirping, rather than purely guessing as before.

"Master, what is the Heart Sensing Technique?"

This was Xiao Tao speaking.

"The Heart Sensing Technique is a spell. Once I've learned it, I'll be able to understand what you're saying."

"Really, Master?"

Xiao Tao looked at Yu Qingtan with bright eyes, chirping excitedly.

"Of course it's true, but Xiao Tao, you don't have to call me master."

"Then, my lord?"

A line of black appeared on Yu Qingtan's forehead, then her eyes twinkled, and she said, "How about calling me princess?"

"Alright, Princess!"

Wow, being called Princess sure felt awesome.

Somebody had probably forgotten that he used to be a guy.

At that moment, a strange noise arose in her ears, and Yu Qingtan understood it.

"No way, no way, can there really be someone who hasn't learned the Heart Sensing Technique in three days!"

Yu Qingtan said somewhat speechlessly.

Then, after another bout of slight dizziness,

"Congratulations on reaching the third layer of Thousand Beasts Mountain, please decide whether to administer the Awakening Pill to your spiritual beast."
