Chapter 62

The Tianxing Continent is vast and boundless. It is said that even a powerful god would be unable to traverse the entire continent on foot in a lifetime.

The entire continent is nominally ruled by the Azure Dragon Dynasty, but the royal family has been weak for several decades. The six major vassal states, while ostensibly obeying the dynasty, each govern their own territories and often pay lip service to the royal edicts. If it weren't for the few world-class powerhouses within the royal family and the mutual checks among the six states, the dynasty might have been replaced by one of the vassal states long ago.

The human race is the most powerful on the Tianxing Continent, but there are also many special races and exotic creatures. The continent is home to many dangerous places, such as the Guanghan Ice Plain at the border between the Snowfall Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom. Beneath the ice plain, there are many strange beasts that can suddenly emerge from the ground to attack humans, making it extremely perilous. Another example is the Dream Sea Abyss in the South Sea, where it is said that two great demons with heaven-defying powers lurk, even gods cannot contend with them...

However, the most famous and deadly place on the continent is the Thirty Thousand Mountains, located at the border between the Divine Martial Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom!

The Thirty Thousand Mountains, as the name suggests, consist of thirty thousand mountains. Here, the peaks are continuous, the ravines are numerous, and lakes and streams are scattered everywhere. Ancient towering trees pierce the sky, and thorny thickets cover the ground. The mountains are high and the waters are beautiful, with a myriad of landscapes. Inside, there are countless large insects and beasts, and it is said that even gods would stop here. Known as the place where weapons are broken and the path is cut off, no one has ever dared to enter its deepest parts.

Compared to the large insects and fierce beasts, the most terrifying thing in the Thirty Thousand Mountains is the demon beasts!

Demon beasts are not like ordinary fierce beasts; they possess mysterious and unpredictable demon arts, with extremely fierce attacks. The Thirty Thousand Mountains is the place on the continent where the most demon beasts gather. It is said that deep within the mountains, there are demon kings and demon emperors that can transform into human form and possess heaven-defying demon powers. Even a powerhouse in the Vajra Realm would face certain death if they entered!

The Spirit Beast Mountain Academy is located on the outermost part of the Thirty Thousand Mountains, on Spirit Beast Mountain.

At the foot of Spirit Beast Mountain lies a small city called Spirit Beast City. This small city was originally a small town, but over thousands of years of development, it has grown into a bustling city, far surpassing small cities like Tianyu City.

Da da da!

At this moment, a luxurious carriage was speeding towards the north gate of the small city. The carriage curtain bore a large "Ji" character, and a young face with curious eyes peered out of the side window.

"This Spirit Beast City is so big and much more prosperous than Tianyu City!"

The carriage sped through the city, and Jiang Yi looked at the towering city walls, the wide streets, the endless flow of people, and the tall, neatly arranged buildings, feeling deeply impressed. However, his attention was soon drawn to a person galloping towards them. He exclaimed, "Eh... Great-Grandfather, what is that? How can that person ride a wolf? Is that a demon beast? Its aura is so terrifying!"

Jiang Yunhai glanced out the window in the direction Jiang Yi was looking and explained with a smile, "Young Master, don't be so surprised. That's not a demon beast, but a tamed spirit beast! That wolf is likely a Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, a first-stage demon beast, with the strength of a peak Cauldron Casting Realm practitioner."

"Hisss..."

Jiang Yi drew in a sharp breath and looked again at the blood-red giant wolf being ridden by a Purple Mansion Realm practitioner, feeling a chill. The wolf was about five feet long and two feet high, with a huge blood-red head that inspired fear. And this wolf was as strong as a peak Cauldron Casting Realm practitioner? This Purple Mansion Realm practitioner had a powerful combat companion. Of course, what Jiang Yi envied was how cool it looked to ride a wolf...

Jiang Yunhai, seeing Jiang Yi's envious gaze, shook his head and said, "Young Master, don't you know that the Spirit Beast Mountain Academy is most famous for spirit beasts? The academy is located within the Thirty Thousand Mountains, where demon beasts are abundant. As long as you become a student there, you can learn the secret techniques to tame spirit beasts. If you become a student, you might even be able to tame a more powerful demon beast, like that one!"

Jiang Yunhai pointed, and Jiang Yi followed his gaze, feeling even more shocked and amazed!

"Bang bang bang!"

A huge monster was walking down the street ahead. It was an ape-like creature, standing about ten feet tall, with a snow-white body. Its two massive legs were thicker than Jiang Yi's body, and its eyes, like copper bells, were filled with coldness, making people shudder. On the shoulders of this ape-like creature stood a young man in white, looking down at the crowd with a superior gaze. When the young man saw Jiang Yi staring at him, his eyes were filled with shock, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips, as if he was mocking Jiang Yi for being naive and a country bumpkin...

"Is this giant ape as strong as a Purple Mansion Realm practitioner? Why aren't the people in the city afraid of this giant ape? What if it goes berserk and attacks randomly?"

Jiang Yi收回目光，转头望着江云海，不等他回话，江逸的眼睛又亮晶晶的闪耀个不停，兴奋地问道：“大爷爷，我以后真的也能驯化这么一只强大妖兽吗？”

“呵呵，驯化的灵兽没有主人的命令，那是绝对不会伤人的！这里是灵兽城，很多灵兽山的学员都会带着灵兽出入这里，城内的人肯定看多了习惯了，也自然不害怕了。”

江云海捋了捋白须，笑道：“少主，只要你加入学院，努力修炼成为精英学员肯定能驯化灵兽的，而且你的实力越强，你驯化的灵兽也会越强！”

“哦哦！”

江逸重重的点头，本来对灵兽山学院没什么好感的，此刻却很是渴望。能拥有一只强大灵兽，骑着它招摇过市可是无比拉风的事情啊，江逸虽然性格相比同龄人沉稳一些，但终究只有十六岁，少年心性难免。

“哇，那边有一只黑虎！”

“嗯，那个人肯定也是灵兽山的学员，骑着一只甲壳虫呢，这灵兽好丑……”

江逸一路趴在马车上观看着，不时轻呼一声，宛如就像一个涉世未深的孩子。如果这番样子给天羽城的人看到，他们绝对不会相信，江逸就是那个在西山之上杀了废了数十人的冷血恶魔……

“大爷爷，我看到熟人了，是灵兽山的三位导师哦！是苏导师她们！”

江逸撩开车帘，指着远处一个巨大酒楼外的三个人惊呼起来，江云海扫了一眼点了点头道：“灵兽山血炼就要开始了，她们出现在灵兽城也正常。”

“咻！”

突然，天空传来一阵因快速飞行而产生的破空声，那声音很是尖锐，吸引了城内无数人的注意，江逸也下意识地抬头一看，却眸子瞬间睁得滚圆。

天空之上两匹有着羽翼的雪白天马拖着一辆豪华巨辇破空而来，那巨辇是青铜所铸，竟然能悬浮在半空？看起来异常神奇，对于江逸来说更是闻所未闻，宛如天方夜谭，神话故事里的仙人般。

“少主，我以前和你说过，这个世界很神奇，你现在看到的还是冰山一角。这飞马巨辇只是一辆古神战车而已，没什么大惊小怪的。这战车内有神奇的阵法禁制，能悬浮于半空，至于那两匹飞马也只是一种特殊灵兽而已，除了好看外战斗力低微的可怜。当然这种古神战车大陆非常少，也仅仅只有数十辆而已。”

江云海笑着给江逸解释起来，不过他目光扫了一眼那缓缓朝灵兽城内落下的战车，看到战车内坐着的一位英俊的公子哥，脸色立即冷了下来，他轻声喃喃起来：“居然是他？”

江逸也看清楚了此人，这是一个身穿银色战甲的年轻人，面容异常英俊，气度更是不凡，远远不是江恨水这种级别的公子可比。他身子从半空中飞跃而下，笔直朝灵兽山三位导师方向飞射而去，眼睛直直盯着那位冷如冰山的苏导师，脸上露出灿烂的笑容，人在半空就长笑道：“若雪，好久不见！”

“这，这个人……”

江逸突然放下车帘，脸色变得极其不自然，浑身汗毛竖立，宛如发现了天敌鬃毛倒立的狮子，他望着江云海面色凝重的问道：“大爷爷，这个人是谁？为何我看到他极其不舒服？就像……就像他是我命中的宿敌般！”

“呃？”

江云海眼中露出一抹复杂之色，好半天才叹道：“少主，这个人你千万不能招惹，至少短期内绝对不要惹他，因为他是镇西王的独子，江逆流！”

Jiang Yi turned his gaze back to Jiang Yunhai, his eyes shining with excitement, and asked, "Great-Grandfather, can I really tame such a powerful demon beast in the future?"

"Hehe, a tamed spirit beast will never harm anyone without its master's command! This is Spirit Beast City, and many students from Spirit Beast Mountain Academy bring their spirit beasts here. The people in the city are used to it and naturally not afraid."

Jiang Yunhai stroked his white beard and smiled, "Young Master, as long as you join the academy and work hard to become an elite student, you will definitely be able to tame a spirit beast. The stronger you are, the stronger the spirit beast you can tame!"

"Oh oh!"

Jiang Yi nodded heavily, his initial indifference towards the Spirit Beast Mountain Academy now replaced with a strong desire. Owning a powerful spirit beast and riding it through the city would be incredibly cool. Although Jiang Yi was more mature than his peers, he was still only sixteen, and the excitement of a young boy was inevitable.

"Wow, there's a black tiger over there!"

"Um, that person must also be a student from Spirit Beast Mountain Academy, riding a beetle. This spirit beast is so ugly..."

Jiang Yi watched from the carriage, occasionally exclaiming, like a child who had never seen the world. If the people from Tianyu City saw him now, they would never believe that Jiang Yi was the cold-blooded demon who had killed and crippled dozens of people on West Mountain...

"Great-Grandfather, I see someone I know, it's the three mentors from Spirit Beast Mountain Academy! It's Mentor Su and the others!"

Jiang Yi lifted the curtain and pointed to three people outside a large tavern in the distance, exclaiming. Jiang Yunhai glanced and nodded, "The Blood Refinement at Spirit Beast Mountain is about to begin, so it's normal for them to be in
