Chapter 531: New Beginning in the Mystic Jade Realm

Immediately, the leaders of the various beast clans let out their own roars. Their cries were followed by one after another from the beasts below, spreading far into the surrounding regions.

"The Tiger Clan is willing!"

"The Python Clan is willing!"

"The Eagle Clan is willing!"

The beasts roared their responses one after another. Fu Young, who was proficient in understanding the languages of all beasts, remained completely expressionless. Countless osmanthus tree roots sprang into action once more, lifting the pieces of land where the demonic beasts lived, together with their water veins. The roots kneaded and rearranged everything into a single landmass, then raised it up in front of Tushan Shanhe.

The corners of Tushan Shanhe’s mouth twitched.

Suppressing his anger once again, he shouldered the blame for the third time. He then gathered the demonic beasts and their land into the Heaven Origin Realm. Feeling utterly exasperated, he stuffed the pearl like Heaven Origin Realm into Xiao Shou’s hands before looking up at the sky in speechless frustration.

Awkwardly accepting the Heaven Origin Realm, Xiao Shou gave Fu Young a gentle pinch and secretly sent him a voice transmission.

"You’ve really offended Great Granduncle Shanhe badly today."

"Lord Shanhe is broad minded. It’s fine, it’s fine."

Fu Young flashed several pearly white teeth, smiling so brightly and innocently that he seemed utterly carefree.

The sight made Xiao Shou’s face turn slightly red. But after understanding the meaning behind his beloved disciple’s words, he was immediately speechless. Why did he feel that Tushan Shanhe’s current state had nothing to do with being broad minded and everything to do with being furious?

He wanted to voice this thought, but for some reason, when he looked at his beloved disciple’s brilliantly sunny and seemingly innocent smile, he could not bring himself to say it. In the end, he could only remain silent.

The Water Qilin, who was exceptionally skilled at seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, immediately bounced into the Heaven Origin Realm at the sight of this situation. Only his lingering voice remained outside.

"I’m going to settle in the newcomers. See you later, Senior Shanhe, Sect Master, and Senior Brother!"

See you later, my foot! Tushan Shanhe thought angrily. As expected of someone from the same group, he had certainly run away fast!

Meanwhile, Ying Xuanyan and Shen Wenrui continued staring in utter astonishment. They both thought the same thing: As expected of the Tushan Clan, which possessed the bloodlines of both Celestial Foxes and Terrestrial Foxes! Not only did a single junior carry a spatial treasure of such an enormous size, but he was also proficient in the languages of all beasts.

And judging by the strength they had displayed, was there any room left for anyone else to survive?

Fortunately, the Tushan Clan had not established itself in the Mystic Jade Realm. Otherwise, would any other sect or family here have had a place to stand?

Just as the two men were thoroughly subdued by the abilities Tushan Shanhe had displayed before their very eyes, no longer daring to entertain the slightest thought of opposing him, all the osmanthus tree roots scattered throughout the area, along with the branches binding Ying Xuanyan, suddenly released their holds.

Like the enormous osmanthus tree that had previously supported the entire Heaven Origin Realm, they withered and cracked in an instant. When they fell to the ground, they shattered into pieces of dead wood.

"Hmph! I hope we never meet again!" Having finally regained his freedom, Ying Xuanyan, the Four Tribulation Immortal Ascendant, fled faster than a rabbit. The moment he was free, he used teleportation to escape, leaving behind only those lingering words.

Unfortunately, Shen Wenrui could not run away. His heart was bitter enough to taste like a melon, yet he still had to greet Tushan Shanhe with an enthusiastic smile.

"Fellow Daoist Tushan, do you still have other matters to attend to? As for the people remaining below, would you like me to arrange for my men to give them special assistance? If you have nothing else to do, why not come to my residence and rest for a while? We’ve all worked hard for quite some time."

"Ah Shou!" Tushan Shanhe did not answer him. Instead, he called out to Xiao Shou, then turned to him and asked, "What do you think?"

Xiao Shou shook his head. "Those cultivators from the various sects possess a certain degree of power and are accustomed to the rules of survival in the cultivation world. They will surely find a way to adapt and continue cultivating soon enough. As for everyone else, their choices are their own. They should walk the paths they have chosen. I have neither the right nor the responsibility to interfere."

"In that case, let’s take our leave, Fellow Daoist Shen. I’ll show you around this world."

After saying this, Tushan Shanhe nodded to Shen Wenrui. Then, without giving Fu Young the slightest chance to save face, he grabbed him by the back of his collar, took hold of Xiao Shou, and used the Great Teleportation Technique to leave. Their figures vanished completely.

At that moment, none of them could have imagined that, many years later, the choices they had made would lead them down two entirely different paths.

This included Xiao Shou and Fu Young, the mortals and demonic beasts who had chosen to depend on the Eternal Prosperity Sect for survival, and the mortals who had chosen to remain beside the familiar sects they had always relied on.

As for Shen Wenrui, who had witnessed everything from the sidelines, he had no idea that years later, he would regret his decision to focus solely on Tushan Shanhe and neglect to build a good relationship with Xiao Shou and Fu Young so deeply that he would nearly develop a heart demon.

Everyone had their own fate and opportunities. A seemingly insignificant choice could have far reaching consequences.

Meanwhile, the two people who would profoundly influence the future of the Mystic Jade Realm were being taken on several Great Teleportations.
