Northern Black Tortoise Continent, Tiger Sovereign Domain, inside a secret realm:

A beautiful woman with a wild and savage temperament stood in the middle of a mountain accompanied by two men. One person was 3 meters tall with two bull horns on their heads, while the other had the head of an elephant with a human body.

The three of them were surrounded by formations scattered all over the mountain.

Liu Meixiu watched as the two men used all their strength to break the formation in front of them, then the group can take a few steps forward up this mountain.

Then, they will be stopped by another formation and have to take time breaking the formation. Seeing that they were already halfway through the mountain, it's obvious these three have been here for a while and are close to accomplishing their goals.

After destroying another formation, Liu Meixiu said:

"Elders, you can rest now.

"

The two men nodded their heads before stopping, then they turned back into humans. To be precise, they seemed to separate into two: one human and one demonic beast.

The man with the horn was fused with a demonic beast called Tyrant Fist Bull which was a demon with Imperial Bloodline. The other man was also separated from another demon with Imperial Bloodline, the Earth Suppressing Elephant.

Both these demon races had one Great Emperor.

After the Elders separated from their Fusion Form, they put away their contracted demons in their space bags, took out a few pills to heal, and recuperate their strength.

Liu Meixiu followed them and sat cross-legged on the floor to recuperate and cultivate at the same time. The aura surrounding her showed that she was already in the Divine Body Realm.

As she closed her eyes, she pondered:

"It has been more than 700 years since I came to this secret realm. In a few hundred years, I should be able to reach the core.

"

Thinking about the rewards she will receive once she breaks through the core, Liu Meixiu became excited. She has sacrificed so much for this secret realm.

She forfeited attending the Heaven Chosen Trial at the Academy, so she did not have the chance to place her name in the Heavenly Dao Protection Book. This led to the fact that she also did not have a chance to use the Dao Tablets and create her own scripture.

However, Liu Meixiu did not care about these.

When it came to the protection of the book, it only protected her until the Primordial Spirit Realm. With her status, she did not have to worry about death as along she was careful.

As for the tablets and creating a scripture, this only affected her a little. As long as she can create it before reaching the Supreme Realm, she can still become a Quasi-Emperor and fight for the Heaven Will.

Creating a scripture before entering the Divine Body Realm is only the best time to do so to establish a firm foundation. However, as long as someone does it before entering the Supreme Realm, they will be fine. Just have to spend more time re-establish the foundation.

After taking a deep breath to calm her mind, Liu Meixiu began to run the Beast Lord Map to use her Good Fortune Flame to temper her organs. With the resources she acquired from this secret realm, she was almost finished with the Humans Stage.

However, before she could cultivate for long, she received a Communication Talisman.

With a frown on her face, she took the talisman as she muttered:

"I thought I told them not to contact me unless something important happened.

"

She used her Divine Sense to check the message, then she abruptly stood up, alerting the other two Elders.

"Young Beast Lord, what happened?

" asked one of them.

"The news about the secret realm has been leaked and spread,

" replied Liu Meixiu with gritted teeth.

"What?

" shouted the two elders at the same time.

"How is that possible?

"

Liu Meixiu did not respond to them as she was communicating with someone else to find the answer to this question.

"Do you think the Ji family discovered us?

" asked the Bull Elder.

"Unlikely. I made sure to cover my trail when coming here. I even faked being seriously injured and recuperating,

" she replied while shaking her head.

The Herd Raising Valley is an Emperor Lineage with only one Great Emperor, however, because of their ability to raise and tame beasts, they have a unique position in the world. There are rumors that the Beast Emperor of their sect had more than 5 demon beasts who reached Tier 10 or Great Emperor Realm as his follower after proving the Dao.

And he left all of them or some of them to the Herd Raising Valley before leaving the world. So, despite having only one Great Emperor, the status of their sect is quite high in this world

Then, she remembered that there were a few other people secretly following her. She thought that she had lost them, but apparently not.

So, Liu Meixiu began to remember carefully all the people who were secretly following her but could not remember anything.

"Could the Ji family really have discovered me?

" muttered Liu Meixiu.

The political situation in the Herd Raising Valley is very messy. The sect used to be nothing but a Supreme Land until the Beast Emperor managed to prove the Dao and proclaimed himself as Emperor.

With his guidance, he opened a large business selling beasts all over the Myriad Emperor World, thus establishing a firm foundation for the sect. Then, he left.

After his departure, his family, the Ji family, began to rapidly gain power in the Herd Raising Valley. Using some secret method that the Beast Emperor gave then, the Ji family had a way to both create a pseudo-Myriad Beast Body and track the real one once it appears.

Because this physique was perfect to cultivate their Emperor Scripture, Beast Lord Map, many powerful Heaven Chosens have appeared in their family, this solidifying their status as the most powerful faction in the sect.

Of course, the other factions were not happy with the sudden rise of the Ji family. After a few generations, the Herd Raising Valley had turned into the Ji family's property because of how much power they held.

The other people did not accept such a fact, so infighting began amongst the same sect. Unfortunately, the Ji family was too powerful, so the other factions were forced to band together to barely fight against them.

Luckily for them, in this generation, they discovered the Myriad Beast Body before the Ji family. They took Liu Meixiu in and trained her with all their resources and efforts; they placed all their hopes on her.

And she did not disappoint them. She fought and easily slaughtered the Pseudo-Myriad Beast Body of the Ji family, absorbed his blood essence, and became the Young Beast Lord of the Herd Raising Valley in this generation.

Despite this, Liu Meixiu's life was not easy. The Ji family did anything to reduce the number of resources that she would receive. After all, they knew that if she became a Great Emperor, not only would their family lose their position, they might even be killed.

The Ji family went as far as sending many assassins to eliminate Liu Meixiu and prevent her from growing up. Although angered, the other factor practiced forbearance as they had a plan to ensure their rise and the rise of their Heaven Chosen.

A secret realm that Liu Meixiu learned about when she was young.

As long as she could get the benefit inside this secret realm, she will be able to recreate the glory of the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor. She was an Emperor with the same physique as Liu Meixiu but got a fortunate encounter to absorb the blood essence of a True Phoenix.

With that blood essence, the Myriad Beast Physique displayed powers beyond many people's imagination.

…

While Liu Meixiu was trying to think how she was discovered, she suddenly remembered sensing a strange power following; that power was very weak and well-controlled. If it was not for her beast-like instinct, she might not have detected it.

"That was the power of Shadow, and it was a power that I felt familiar with. Where have I felt it before…The Dao Opening Sect's Shadow Monarch Book.

"

Immediately, she remembered her encounter during the Luck Trial.

"Wang Wei, it must be him,

" muttered Liu Meixiu with gritted teeth. She guessed that Wang Wei must have been paying attention to her since the trial and had people monitor her.

However, she was still confused as to why he released the news about the secret realm. The best course of action in this situation would be to wait once she entered the core and act as an oriole to catch the cicada.

However, he did not do so.

"Unless, it was not his intention to release the news,

" muttered Liu Meixiu. She pondered for a moment, sneered, and said to the Elders:

"Immediately go restore the formation we have already destroyed.. We can let others take advantage of all our hard work.

"
