Chapter 25: The Great Kun

The City Defense Team formed by Jiuhu Xian is located at the northernmost part of the Floating Mountain.

She has built a simple bamboo house as a training ground, surrounded by a circle of tall pine wood. At the entrance, large stones were brought in to create a martial arts arena.

On the martial arts arena.

There are about dozens of people meditating and practicing, testing their strength, and practicing Immortal Law while sparring with each other.

At first glance, they all appear to be human, but Lu Ya's divine sense reveals that they are all pure-blooded Beast Immortals.

There are Horse Immortals, Ox Immortals, Sheep Immortals, Pig Immortals, Snake Immortals, Rat Immortals, Cat Immortals, Dog Immortals, Monkey Immortals, Rabbit Immortals, Weasel Immortals, Partridge Immortals, Sparrow Immortals...

There are both men and women, old and young.

Including the two mischievous kids, Muyu and Feifei.

Among them, the highest cultivation level is a Three-Star Immortal Master, while the lowest is only a One-Star Immortal Lord.

Standing on the grassy slope, Lu Ya couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Why are they all Beast Immortals?"

Ning Zhongzi replied, "These are all brought back by Jiuhu from the Beast Nest Forest. Muyu and Feifei are also training with them. I don't know if it's because they have integrated into the Beast Immortal family, but they are working harder than before."

Lu Ya thought to himself, how could they not work hard?

If you want to eat the Kun, you have to work hard too.

"Where is Jiuhu?" Lu Ya asked.

"She went back to the Beast Nest Forest again, trying to find higher-level Beast Immortals. Her body is still injured, so she only took a few bamboo pieces with her. Unexpectedly, even someone as unreliable as her can be serious at times," Ning Zhongzi replied.

Lu Ya thought, how could she not be serious?

If you want to heal your wounds by picking up girls, you have to be serious too.

The two soon arrived at the martial arts arena.

When the Beast Immortals saw Lu Ya and Ning Zhongzi, they showed obvious resistance.

In the Immortal World, not every Beast Immortal is as close to humans as Muyu and Feifei.

The two girls hurriedly explained when they saw everyone's fear, "Don't be afraid, everyone!"

"This is my master, Ning Zhongzi."

"This is my junior uncle, Lu Ya."

"They are good people and will never harm anyone."

The Beast Immortals were skeptical.

At this moment, a cold-faced, red-eyed Weasel Immortal quietly said to Muyu Feifei, "Your master looks serious, but his character is not bad. However, I won't be mistaken about this man. His eyes are the eyes that want to eat Beast Immortals."

Muyu Feifei remained calm on the surface, but when she looked at Lu Ya again, she felt a little uneasy.

Lu Ya was taken aback.

Oh my goodness, does she have the Sharingan?

For a moment, considering that there was no immortal meat to eat at the inn, he wondered if he could slaughter a few Beast Immortals to taste.

Of course, it was just a fleeting thought and he wouldn't actually do it...

But was it still noticed?

This little Weasel Immortal is quite talented!

Lu Ya asked in confusion, "Beast Immortals are rare. How did Jiuhu find so many Beast Immortals in such a short time?"

"These are all Beast Immortals she salvaged from the Immortal Thief Organization's tail. Most of them have considerable strength."

"Fairy Tail?"

Lu Ya is very familiar with [Fairy Tail].

In the game "Ancient Immortal Court," [Fairy Tail] is one of the four extremely evil Immortal Thief Organizations in the Immortal World. Its members are spread across every Immortal Domain, with a total population of one million. It is said to have numerous powerful individuals.

All members of Fairy Tail are Beast Immortals, a large anti-human demonic organization. They consider themselves the most orthodox in the Immortal World.

They believe that only Beast Immortals with tails are the true orthodox beings in the Immortal World, while tailless humans are merely degenerate Beast Immortals.

Lu Ya thought to himself.

They're not wrong. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, humans are monkeys, and immortals are monkey immortals.

Ning Zhongzi continued:

"Ten years ago, Lord Jiu Hu infiltrated the Fairy Tail branch in the Beast Nest Forest and was discovered to have half-human bloodline. He was expelled from Fairy Tail."

"This woman seems to have bad luck wherever she goes. How is she still alive in this Fairy Tail branch?"

"As you said, there has been an unprecedented beast tide in the Beast Nest Forest recently, and many notorious Immortal Thief Organizations have suffered. Even the Fairy Tail branch was not spared, and many Beast Immortals perished. It was only during this beast tide that Lord Jiu Hu managed to rescue so many Beast Immortals in a short period of time."

Lu Ya nodded and fell into contemplation.

"All these are unruly Beast Immortals..."

With just a simple sentence, the Beast Immortals trembled in fear.

Especially Xiao Yao Xian, who seemed to sense that Lu Ya was not an ordinary person and had been hiding in a corner of the cliff.

Ning Zhongzi hurriedly explained.

"It's not like that. These Beast Immortals were forcibly abducted by Fairy Tail and did not willingly join the evil organization."

"Is that so?"

Before the words could finish—

There was a loud bang!

An orange figure plummeted from the sky and crashed into the nearby grassland at an angle.

Lu Ya expanded his divine sense.

He saw Jiu Hu Xian curled up in a deep pit, covered in blood, holding a child in his arms.

At the same time—

The sky was filled with thick clouds, quickly blocking the sunlight, casting a shadow over the entire Floating Mountain in the north.

A colossal Kun emerged from the clouds.

A voice as ancient as a celestial bell resounded—

"You have fallen."

...

One second ago, the Floating Mountain was still bathed in sunlight.

The next second, the Celestial Phenomenon suddenly changed, dark clouds gathered, and half of the sky was covered.

In the clouds, shadows collided, flickering with alternating flashes of lightning, emitting a muffled continuous low roar.

The atmospheric pressure above the dojo rapidly decreased, causing everyone's hair to stand on end, feeling suffocated and unable to catch their breath.

The two strongest Immortal Sects' spiritual pressures entangled and enveloped the entire Floating Mountain within the black clouds.

The Nine Stars Immortal Sect!

There are two of them!

On the martial arts field.

The pupils of the Beast Immortals dilated, as if they had seen the god of death. Their fear was ten thousand times greater than when they saw Lu Ya.

Soon, someone couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down, and the others followed suit, kneeling down.

Muyu Feifei was immediately confused and shouted.

"What are you doing!"

"Why are you kneeling down?"

Everyone prostrated on the ground, afraid to make a sound, their rapid breathing filled with the terrifying fear of facing death.

Muyu Feifei was so scared that she wanted to kneel down. They weren't even sure if Lu Ya was a match for this time.

Lu Ya looked up.

Accompanied by a resounding roar that echoed through the sky, a colossal beast emerged from the dark clouds, revealing its pitch-black head, like a silhouette of a deity appearing in the vast expanse of the sky.

Whale-like head, narrow eyes, long flowing whiskers, wings resembling fins, and a rare red spiral pattern engraved on its forehead!

This is...a Kun?

The Kun, a fish in the Northern Sea, is called the Kun.

Although Lu Ya had never encountered a Kun in the game, she often heard about the existence of Kun beasts on the forums. They were mostly divine beasts above level 80. Why would there be an Immortal Sect-level one?

Seeing the Kun was like seeing a god. Muyu Feifei's face turned pale, and she grabbed Lu Ya's hand, her little mouth trembling.

"This is the legendary giant fish that flies in the sky above the Beast Nest Forest that I told you about!"

"But...isn't this fish too big?"

"It doesn't look appetizing at all, it's terrifying."

"We probably can't eat it, but it might eat us..."

Is it really that big? Lu Ya casually measured it and exclaimed, "Damn, a Kun's head is actually ten zhang wide."

Unfortunately, Lu Ya was not well-educated, so she blurted out, "Fuck, it's huge!"

"I can eat this for a year!"

If the Kun of the Nine Star Immortal Sect is this size, what about the Divine Level Kun?

The Kun is so large that its size is immeasurable, and when it transforms into a bird, it is called the Peng.

On the head of the colossal Kun, a man in a black robe with a golden light on his head spoke with a voice like a heavenly bell.

"You all have disappointed me."

The Beast Immortals trembled in fear, their bodies prostrated, overwhelmed by a deep terror from the depths of their souls.

Lu Ya glanced over.

This black-robed man...is he the Peng Immortal?

The Golden Immortal of the Nine Star Immortal Sect?

The Kun and the Peng appeared together, both at the same cultivation level, one a giant beast and the other a Beast Immortal?

This reminded Lu Ya of a legend she had heard from the two girls and Ning Zhongzi before.

In the Beast Nest Forest, there is a more ancient and terrifying legend than the story of Liu Xuanye's husband-killing.

Three thousand years ago.

A pair of Kun beast babies appeared in the Beast Nest Forest. They were twins abandoned by their parents, with extremely high cultivation talent. Their bodies were covered in rare pitch-black scales, with a pair of fin-like wings and tails that stirred up clouds and rain.

The Kun is a divine beast, rumored to be extremely delicious. Immortals can only drool over it, but they dare not easily hunt it.

Two thousand eight hundred years ago.

Yun Zhonghe, the current Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect, passed by the Beast Tide Forest and saw these divine beasts.

He then stayed near the Beast Tide Forest for nearly a hundred years, setting up countless layers of formations and traps, finally capturing these two divine beasts and bringing them back to the White Lotus Sect.

Yun Zhonghe was an interesting person.

He nurtured one of the giant Kuns step by step to become his mount, naming it Xu Kun.

He then enlightened the other giant Kun and after it entered the Immortal Sect, it transformed into a Peng, named Jin Pengzi.

Under his careful cultivation and guidance, in just two thousand years, one Kun and one Peng had already advanced to the Immortal Sect.

The Kun and Peng brothers, one was a Beast Immortal ranked in the Immortal Class, and the other was an Immortal Venerable beast mount. They were once the talk of the Immortal Domain.

This incident happened at Yun Zhonghe's eight thousandth birthday banquet.

Yun Zhonghe was preparing to slaughter Xu Kun to entertain the guests from the Immortal Court.

Yun Zhonghe's youngest disciple, Yun Zongzi, had a close relationship with the Kun and Peng brothers. He secretly informed Jin Pengzi of this news.

Jin Pengzi was furious and, with Yun Zongzi's help, set fire to the mountain that night, taking advantage of the chaos to escape with Xu Kun back to the Beast Nest Forest.

The disappointed Kunpeng brothers, who were extremely disappointed in humanity, joined the newly established branch of Xianwei. After a thousand years, Jin Pengzi became the leader of the branch.

Jin Pengzi has been in charge of the Xianwei branch for a thousand years, using the Beast Nest Forest as a base to cultivate and unleash waves of beasts, seeking revenge on humanity.

They have successively slaughtered hundreds of sects in the Dongfu District, devouring humans and brainwashing a large number of Beast Immortals, turning them into cruel Xianwei who enjoy killing humans.

Only the powerful White Lotus Sect and the destitute Bamboo Spring Sect have survived and remained standing.

The scale of Jin Pengzi's crimes, the cruelty of their methods, and the bloodshed caused not only shocked the Dongfu District, but also caused a sensation throughout the entire Caiyun Immortal Domain, leading to a reward of over one billion Immortal Crystals from the Immortal Court.

However, Jin Pengzi and Xu Kun have always resided deep within the Beast Nest, controlling the actions of the beast waves, leaving no trace and never being caught.

As a result of this incident, Yun Zhonghe was stripped of his position as an Immortal Class and forced to step down as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, entering seclusion.

His disciple, Yun Zongzi, directly betrayed the sect and led a group of fellow disciples into the Beast Nest Forest, forming the Immortal Thief Organization Black Lotus, with their sights set on the Bamboo Spring Sect.

And then... there was no more.

In order to attract high-level hunters to the Beast Nest Forest to hunt down the Kunpeng brothers, the Immortal Court not only offered a high reward, but also heavily publicized the delicious taste of Xu Kun, which became widely known.

This is why Muyu Feifei wants to eat the big fish.

But they don't know the true story behind it, which was later told to Lu Ya by Ning Zhongzi.

At this moment, on the head of the Kunpeng in the clouds.

Jin Pengzi, dressed in a black robe, descended from the sky with a burning anger that could consume the heavens, his voice as solemn as a funeral bell.

"Do you still believe in humans?"

"Have you forgotten how humans treated us?"

"Have you forgotten how greedy, cruel, and ruthless humans can be?"

"Do you really think this outbreak of beast waves is a coincidence?"

"No, it's because of this woman!"

In a pit not far from the dojo.

Jiu Hu Xian struggled to climb out and handed the baby in her arms to Ning Zhongzi.

When Ning Zhongzi held the snake-like baby in his arms and took a look, he saw a half-human, half-snake female infant with faint colorful scales, looking very weak but without a scratch.

This is...

Ning Zhongzi dared not confirm whether her identity was as he had thought.

Looking at Jiu Hu Xian, covered in blood and injured in many places, especially the injuries on the Immortal Platform...

Could it be that this woman risked her life to save a baby? Is it because of the same sympathy as a half Beast Immortal?

In the clouds, on the head of the Kunpeng, Jin Pengzi looked at the black boat on Little Bamboo Spring Mountain and sneered.

"I didn't expect that Liu Xuanye would also become an Immortal Sect. Poor Yun Zongzi's junior brother, he was actually deceived by this woman. Could it be that you spread the false news, Jiu Hu Xian?"

"I thought that after so many years, you would have nothing to do with Yun Zhonghe anymore. I didn't expect you to still be Yun Zhonghe's lackey, daring to disrupt my beast waves and harm my Xianwei!"

Jiu Hu Xian stabilized her body, took out a wine jug, and took a big gulp of Immortal Nectar. Her round face, covered in bloodstains, showed a bold and heroic expression.

She suddenly burst into laughter, disregarding her injuries, allowing the aura of an Immortal Sect-level to erupt violently.

"Hahaha, who is really Yun Zhonghe's lackey? You probably still don't know Yun Zongzi's true identity, right?"

Jin Pengzi's brows furrowed, not wanting to recall the events of the past.

"Creatures like you, who are half-human and half-beast, should not exist in this world. You are a bunch of despicable beings who flatter and grovel to humans. Whether it's you or Liu Xuanye, everyone here today will die!"

The Beast Immortals turned pale with fear, and even the two little girls trembled.

Jin Pengzi's black robe fluttered as he raised his hands, appearing godlike, and a surging aura of spiritual pressure erupted like the wrath of heaven.

"From today onwards, this Bamboo Spring Sect will be my new base for the beast waves."

Introducing the beast waves?

I was just thinking that there was no meat dish!

Lu Ya sat cross-legged on a giant rock, so moved that she was almost in tears. With a piece of crispy melon in her mouth, she raised her thumb towards the sky.

"Keep it up!"
