  The Beast Arena, located in the northern part of Mixture Heaven City, is said to have been built simultaneously with the city and was originally constructed by the five major powers of the Western region. It was a place where the younger generations of these powers would come to train and hone their skills. Over time, the original five major powers evolved into three, and not all of the younger generations of these powers came to this arena for training. Moreover, it's not just limited to cultivators from the Western region; even young elites from other regions' sects and schools come to Mixture Heaven City with the goal of entering the Beast Arena for a trial by fire.

  Lieteng stood in front of the entrance to the Beast Arena, a massive building shaped like a ferocious beast's skull. From afar, it seemed lifelike, but up close, it gave off an intense aura that made even Lieteng, who had condensed his dan into one layer, feel somewhat uncomfortable and unable to gaze at it for long. To be on the safe side, Lieteng spent three high-quality spirit stones to purchase a mid-grade treasure armor set - the Dark War Armor. On the chest plate of the armor was an open bloody mouth with sharp teeth exposed. This armor had extremely strong defense capabilities; even when Lieteng tried using his original energy, he couldn't break through it. Although it was only a mid-grade treasure, it could withstand attacks from a third-layer dan cultivator.

  Many cultivators walked out of the Beast Cage's gate, and Lie Teng felt a strong killing intent from them that had been tempered in battle. This made Lie Teng curious about what the Beast Cage was like to have formed such an intense killing intent. Without hesitation, he stepped into the Beast Cage's gate.

  Many people enter the Beast Prison, and most of their cultivation is from gathering spirits to forming elixirs. The entire Beast Prison only has four levels: Gathering Spirits 1st-3rd layer, Gathering Spirits 4th-6th layer, and the Elixir Formation level. As for the Elixir Infant level, it's rumored that it existed when it was first built, but now, all the powerful Elixir Infants are elders of various large sects. How could they possibly enter a place like this?

  Suddenly, Lie Teng's eyes lit up, and a cold smile rose from the corner of his mouth. A large man in front of him was holding a token and walking into a swirling vortex with the character "three" floating above it, representing the third layer of the Dan stage. This large man was the same one who had pushed Lie Teng when he entered the Mixed Sky City, and Lie Teng hadn't expected to run into him here, let alone that he too had entered the third battlefield.

  Soon it was Lie Teng's turn, and from within the counter came a worn-out voice: "What is your age limit?"

  Lieteng was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while before saying: "One year!"

  "One Hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones"

  Lieteng hastily took out the 100 middle-grade spirit stones he had prepared earlier. For a cultivator who had formed his dan, 100 middle-grade spirit stones were not considered many, but for the Gathering Spirit stage's Beast Cage, even some lower-grade spirit stones would do. The counter quickly handed over a dark token, which Lieteng took and held in his hand. To his surprise, the token emitted a faint warmth. Upon closer inspection, he found that the front of the token was engraved with a ferocious beast head, which radiated light and revealed a number. The back of the token had the character "one" written on it. Lieteng took the token and walked towards the whirlpool in front of him. The person inside did not ask where he was going, as everyone knew the rules of the Beast Cage. Those with higher cultivation could not enter the lower-level whirlpools, while those with lower cultivation could enter the higher-level ones. Of course, if one wanted to die, they would try to challenge someone three levels above them.

  Lie Teng also entered the third vortex with a token in hand. Lie Teng only felt his vision brighten, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar space. The surroundings were filled with towering trees, and sunlight shone down, casting white light beams on the ground. Lie Teng furrowed his brow, looking around, and discovered that the surroundings were not illusory. He couldn't help but feel shocked - this was actually a unique space? Who could have such skill? Such cultivation? Probably only a powerful being like Da Wu could create a unique space.

  "A faint rustling sound of leaves came from behind, and Lie Teng's divine sense expanded. He made a slight movement in his mind, and the war armor emitted a faint light screen to form a defensive cover. Two hundred black illusory swords flew out of Lie Teng's body at the same time, each only the size of a finger. The two hundred illusory swords combined closely to form a sword aura that protected his body. Lie Teng slightly turned his head and found that the cultivator hiding behind the tree had left silently."

  "Concealment Technique?" Lie Teng's eyebrows rose, he had also heard of Concealment Technique, a method to gather and hide one's aura. Although this technique was not advanced, its effect was enormous. Unless facing someone with much higher cultivation, practitioners of the same level would be unable to detect it. The person hiding in the big tree earlier, although Lie Teng hadn't seen his cultivation, must not have been high, very likely also at the Qi Condensation stage, otherwise he wouldn't have left after seeing the two hundred illusory swords. These two hundred illusory swords were calculated by Lie Teng to be the optimal number. With his abundant True Energy in the Dan Sea, he could create five hundred illusory swords, but that would consume too much True Energy, so Lie Teng controlled it at two hundred, which was enough to sustain for several hours, sufficient for a fierce battle.

  Lieteng's divine consciousness spread out, and his heartbeat slightly accelerated. Everything in this enclosure was combined with Lieteng's thoughts. He looked around and thought to himself, "It seems that I need to get the incantation of the Hidden Movement Technique first." Immediately, Lieteng looked towards the direction where the person had left, revealing a hint of a smile. Lieteng directly walked forward at a rapid pace, and gradually his footsteps were treading on air. In the Danhai, the shattered spiritual energy impacted his entire body, and after breaking through to the next level, the power of his spiritual energy was greatly enhanced. As long as he injected spiritual energy into the soles of his feet, he could tread on air and fly without needing to ride a sword. Lieteng appeared extremely joyful, with his divine consciousness spread out and carefully searching in all directions for the direction where the person had left. Although that person knew the Hidden Movement Technique, this place was mostly forest, and even if one's cultivation was strong, it was impossible to avoid rubbing against tree leaves. And once there was friction, a sound would be emitted.

  Ma Yun is a cultivator who has been practicing for 130 years. He entered the Beast Cage half a year ago, and in that time, he has always been on edge. His cultivation level is only at the first layer of Dan formation. When he first broke through to this level, he was excited and confused by some words, which led him to enter the Beast Cage. However, within three days, he regretted his decision. In this place, those who have reached the first layer of Dan formation are the lowest of the low, while those who have reached the second or third layers are not uncommon. The Beast Cage is a vast place with many cultivators and spiritual beasts, all of which are above level three. Ma Yun has not seen the end of this place in half a year, and he has met hundreds of Dan formation cultivators. He owes his survival to his mastery of concealment techniques.

  This concealment technique was unintentionally obtained by him when he was still gathering spirits, and with this concealment technique, Ma Yun unknowingly avoided countless life-and-death crises.

  "Nearly two hundred phantom swords, that person must be from the Qingxu Sword Sect. Moreover, he's wearing a battle armor, and its quality is not low, it should be a mid-grade treasure, this level of equipment isn't something anyone can possess. I'm afraid his identity in the Qingxu Sword Sect is not ordinary, and he's just entered the Beast Arena. If not for the armor, I could have taken his life within a hundred moves, what a pity! Ma Yun still remembered the young man he saw earlier, although his cultivation was only at the Congealing Dan stage, his vision was extremely high, and with one glance, he recognized Lie Teng's phantom sword. He quickly weighed his chances of winning against Lie Teng and found that they were not great, if he couldn't resolve it quickly, he might attract attention from others."

  In the arena of struggling beasts for half a year, Ma Yun deeply understood the consequences of not being able to fight quickly and decisively. Here, every step must be carefully considered, otherwise it will fall into an irreparable situation. He has seen too many scenes of watching the tigers fight from a safe distance in these six months.

  It has to be said that the five major powers who built this Colosseum had a profound intention. To survive here, one needs not only strength but also wisdom, brains and meticulous thinking.

  "Hmm?" Ma Yun, like a spirit monkey jumping in the leaves, suddenly sensed a breath behind him. His body quickly stuck to the huge branch, if not for his sharp eyesight, it would be really hard to notice. After all, Ma Yun's aura had already been retracted, and there were probably only a few people who could detect it in this trapped beast arena.

  "Is it him?" Ma Yun's divine sense detected the arrival of someone, and his heart was slightly surprised. It turned out to be that young man who had just entered. Thinking about the mid-grade treasure armor, Ma Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of greed in his heart. If he could get it, his chances of survival would increase greatly, even if he faced a second-layer Cultivation practitioner. After careful consideration, Ma Yun's heart was filled with excitement. He was extremely familiar with this forest, and few other cultivators would enter this place, preferring to fight in the wilderness instead.

  "Whatever!! Wealth and honor are sought in danger, and this person is also a first-level cultivator of the Congealing Dan. My own cultivation has improved quite a bit over the past half year, and I previously obtained several good treasures, so my chances of winning should be around 60%!" Ma Yun weighed his options mentally, and his gaze at the slowly flying Lie Teng gained an additional hint of murderous intent.

  Lieteng flew through the air, his speed not particularly fast. His instincts told him that the person who had tried to sneak up on him earlier was still in this forest, and although he couldn't see them due to their stealth skills, if they considered him a target, then if he deliberately let his guard down, they would surely take aim at him again. Lieteng calculated how to lure out Ma Yun in his mind, thinking for a long time before slowly descending onto the ground under a large tree and sitting cross-legged, intentionally glancing around before closing his eyes and pretending to meditate.

  "What a rookie, daring to cultivate here is simply looking for death!" Ma Yun gazed at Lie Teng from afar with a cold smile in his heart. Although he had some contempt in his mind, Ma Yun still didn't dare to be careless. He furrowed his brow and thought: "Why would this person come here to cultivate? Did he detect me? Is he intentionally trying to lure me out? Impossible, I've used the Concealment Technique, how could he have detected me with his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation?"

  Ma Yun was like a hunter, motionless and staring intently at Lie Teng, he didn't dare to be careless, not even breathing out loud.

  For a whole day, Ma Yun didn't move, Lie Teng also didn't move, as if they had really entered into cultivation. And Ma Yun gradually began to believe that Lie Teng was truly cultivating. After a cold smile in his heart, Ma Yun's body slowly floated towards Lie Teng like a feather.

  Lieteng, who was sitting cross-legged, was highly vigilant of his surroundings. When he heard a faint "tsk" sound that was almost indistinguishable from the wind, Lieteng smiled to himself and thought, "Can't hold it in anymore?" This sound was actually made by Ma Yun's foot as it left the tree trunk it was standing on. Normally, Ma Yun would have noticed this, but at this point he had already written off Lieteng as a newbie and didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the sound was extremely faint!
