Chapter 53: The Imperial Princess

  Heavenly Punishment Forest, inside the mountain cave.

  Unconsciously, Lin Yun had been breaking through in the mountain cave for three days. In these three days, he had already filled his body's spiritual energy into all the major acupoints and successfully guided it into his dantian. Now, only one last step remained - to make the pre-heavenly spiritual energy rotate continuously within his dantian, forming a constantly circulating source of spiritual energy.

  Not far from the cave, seven or eight people walked slowly forward. Among the eight people, there were two young men, and the remaining six were all sturdy big men. Among the two girls, one wore a light yellow long skirt, with a melon-shaped face, two thin willow eyebrows matching her lively big eyes, giving people a very spiritual feeling.

  "Princess, let's go back. If the Crown Prince finds out about this, I'll be in big trouble."

  Princess?

  In the Dragon Empire, only one kind of person can be called a princess, that is, the emperor's daughter. This beautiful young girl wearing a light yellow long dress and having a stunning appearance is indeed the imperial princess and also Huang San's younger sister, named Huang Shan. This time, Huang Shan sneaked out of the palace to find her older brother, after all, among the many children in the royal family, as long as the older brother and she are siblings born from the same mother.

  She glared fiercely at the maid beside her, and Huang Shan said discontentedly: "Every time it's you who has a lot to say, next time I come out, I absolutely won't bring you again. If you dare to say one more word, get back immediately."

  When she heard this, the maid immediately shut her mouth and didn't dare to say anything more. After all, this time the palace owner sneaked out of the palace, once the emperor knew about it, she would be punishable by death, but if something happened to the palace owner, there was no doubt that she would be torn apart by five horses or even tortured to death.

  This time, Huang Shan entered the Heavenly Punishment City, and the eldest son, Huang San, did not accompany her every step of the way. After all, he had his own important matters to attend to. To be on the safe side, this time Huang San sent out a total of six martial guests to protect the princess's safety. In a small Heavenly Punishment City, as long as they didn't encounter a pre-heavenly martial artist, the power of the six martial guests was already sufficient.

  Huang Shan, who had just broken through the Xiantian Wu Zhe boundary, originally, with her status as a princess, wanting to search for spiritual beasts should have been easy as turning her hand over. With one order, she believed many people would bring countless spiritual beasts into the imperial palace. Unfortunately, our little imperial princess was born with a eccentric and stubborn personality, the easier it was to obtain something, the more she didn't want it.

  It was precisely because of this that Huang Shan took advantage of this opportunity to secretly deceive Huang San, bringing six imperial guards to quietly come to the Heavenly Punishment Forest, in order to personally slay a spiritual beast and obtain his innate martial technique through soul searching.

  As an imperial princess, she had lived in a world without worries since childhood and didn't know the dangers of the outside world, especially the spiritual beast's world - Tianfa Forest. If she were to encounter a congenital first-level or second-level spiritual beast, I believe that even with the strength of the six great inner palace guards, there would be nothing they could do. But what if she were to encounter a congenital third-level spiritual beast? The consequences are predictable.

  "You six, listen up! If you encounter a congenital second-level spiritual beast, take it down directly. But if you encounter a congenital first-level spiritual beast, none of you are allowed to make a move, let me handle it, got it?"

  "Yes, Princess."

  Although they knew in their hearts what the princess's true abilities were, the six senior eunuchs still replied obediently, after all, they were subordinates and she was a princess.

  A group of eight people had been wandering around the periphery of the Heavenly Punishment Forest for a whole day, hoping to encounter a First-Order Primordial Spirit Beast. However, none of the First-Order Primordial Spirit Beasts they encountered could satisfy this young princess.

  This way, the little princess was unwilling, in a fit of anger, prepared to enter the Heavenly Punishment Forest to search for her, this time not even mentioning the maidservants, even the six senior eunuchs strongly opposed it.

  "Princess, inside the Heavenly Punishment Forest is fraught with danger. Not only are there congenital third-level spiritual beasts, but also congenital fourth-level spiritual beasts. If we were to encounter them, I'm afraid..."

  Although the eunuch's words were not finished, the meaning was already very clear. However, Huang Shan couldn't listen to these at all and said with a hint of anger: "Fine, I won't enter then. But you find a first-class spiritual beast with spatial attributes for this princess."

  Spatial attributes?

  That's right, Huang Santian was born with a spatial physique, and it was precisely because of this that many people sent her innate spiritual beasts that were not suitable for her, and the spatial physique was one in ten million.

  In the Tian Dong continent, there is a special kind of person, that is, born with a congenital physique, also known as having this attribute physique without even reaching the realm of Xian Tian Wu Shi.

  The eight attributes of strength are: the power of metal, the power of wood, the power of water, the power of fire, the power of earth, the power of thunder and lightning, the power of space, and the power of wind. Among these eight powers, the power of space is the most difficult to see, so congenital spiritual beasts with spatial power are extremely rare. Even in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, it's not easy to find a congenital first-class spiritual beast with spatial power.

  The princess mainly looked for a congenital spiritual beast with spatial power, and the six grand inner guards all had some bitter smiles on their faces. In these days, they had exhausted all their efforts to find some spiritual beasts with five elements and other powers, among which they even found congenital spiritual beasts with wind power, but these spiritual beasts were not suitable for the princess at all.

  Possessing the power of space, this congenital spiritual beast can be said to be one in ten thousand. Seeing that all six senior inner guards didn't say a word, Huang Shan glared fiercely at them and turned around to head towards the interior of the Heavenly Punishment Forest.

  Unable to stop the princess, the six senior eunuchs and maids did not dare to relax in the slightest. If anything happened to the princess, they would truly die a thousand deaths, not daring to linger for a moment, immediately following the princess as she left.

  The Heavenly Punishment Forest is vast and boundless, with no one knowing just how large it truly is. Moreover, no one has ever actually entered the core of the Heavenly Punishment Forest, after all, as the lair of spiritual beasts, who knows what kind of powerful existences lie at its core.

  The outermost layer of the Heavenly Punishment Forest will only have some magical beasts or first-level spiritual beasts, but as one continues to venture deeper inside, second-level, third-level, and even fourth-level spiritual beasts will appear.

  The ranking of the spiritual beast is similar to that of the warrior, with four major realms: Postnatal Realm, Prenatal Realm, Transcendent Realm, and Void Realm. The magical beasts are referred to as postnatal spiritual beasts, while the prenatal first, second, and third-level spiritual beasts are called prenatal spiritual beasts. As for the prenatal fourth-level spiritual beast, it is no longer considered prenatal but has entered the transcendent realm, becoming a transcendent spiritual beast, which includes levels four, five, and six. Above that lies the void spiritual beast, including levels seven, eight, and nine.

  A line of eight people slowly advanced into the interior of the Heavenly Punishment Forest, with six senior imperial guards divided into three positions in front, middle and back, surrounding the princess. In this way, no matter which direction there was movement, they could make the fastest response, and all of this was to ensure the princess's safety without any mishaps.

  After a thousand miles, Huang Shan seemed to feel about the same, so he stopped and continued to search for the congenital spiritual beast with spatial power. However, after searching around, he still couldn't find it, and time passed by in the blink of an eye, another day had gone by.

  Mimi mimi, mimi mimi.

  Just as the eight were about to take a temporary rest, a series of meows suddenly rang out in the distance. The eight looked up and saw that about 100 meters away, a pure white little cat was crouching, with nine long tails behind its buttocks, looking extremely beautiful and magnificent.

  Upon seeing the nine-tailed white cat, the faces of the six imperial guards instantly revealed a hint of surprise. One of the imperial guards hastily whispered: "Your Highness, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat is a first-rate spirit beast born with spatial powers. If you can perform a soul search, I believe you will definitely obtain the Spatial Destiny Martial Skill."

  Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat?

  Congenital First-Order Spiritual Beast?

  Having the power of space?

  Upon hearing these three points, Huang Shan was also overjoyed. This trip to the Heavenly Punishment Forest had not been in vain after all. Although it was a bit arduous and perilous, no matter what, they had managed to find a First-Grade Spiritual Beast with spatial powers. It seemed that waiting patiently would be worthwhile. Huang Shan looked at the six Imperial Guards beside him and instructed, "You six be careful when catching it. No matter who catches this Nine-Tailed Spiritual Cat, I will heavily reward them."

  Six imperial guards nodded one by one, but the eyes of the six were somewhat heavy, and they were extra cautious because they knew very well in their hearts that as a spiritual beast with spatial power, the nine-tailed spirit cat was not like other spiritual beasts. Even if they had six people, wanting to capture this nine-tailed spirit cat was not an easy task.

  Six imperial guards cautiously approached in six different directions, preparing to surround the nine-tailed spirit cat. A hundred meters away, the nine-tailed spirit cat sat quietly on the ground, its two agile eyes constantly turning, completely unaware that someone was slowly getting closer and closer.

  Six Imperial Guards cautiously approached the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat in six different directions, one hundred meters away, just a few minutes had passed, and the six Imperial Guards were only three meters away from the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat.

  At this time, the six people did not continue to advance. After all, the nine-tailed spirit cat was born with a keen sense of awareness, and even the slightest movement would be detected. With only three meters distance between them, if they made a sudden charge, I believe that with the combined strength of the six of them, they could completely capture this lovely nine-tailed spirit cat.

  The six of them exchanged a look, and suddenly rushed forward at high speed. It was so fast that it could be said to have flashed by in an instant. However, the nine white tails behind the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat's buttocks suddenly swung once, and at this moment, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat turned around and quickly ran towards the direction behind it.
