Su Mu stood on the riverbank, looking at Little Koi Carp which arrived last, and then pointed to a nearby turtle and said, "This is the general I recruited just a few days ago."

"If we arrange them in order, it ranks as sixth, and it will be your sixth brother from now on."

As soon as this was said, Little Black Dragon, Kong Yao, Golden Python, Koi Carp, and Red Crab all turned to look at the somewhat reserved Little Turtle, curiously sizing it up.

Su Mu also briefly introduced them to the Little Turtle, who was the eldest brother, who was the second brother, and so forth.

After the introductions were made, Su Mu smiled and said, "As always, you shouldn't fight among yourselves, but help each other and face outward together."

After his words fell, all the Spirit Beasts nodded in agreement.

.....

The Profound Celestial Turtle was also nervously gazing at its big brothers and sisters, incredibly shocked inside, as each one's strength far surpassed its own.

Usually, these beings traversed the All Heavens and the Ten Thousand Realms, and various major domains. They were supreme existences high above the nine heavens. It was unexpected for them to become its kin.

For a moment, it was flattered and found it hard to believe.

"Alright, the introductions are over."

"Xiao Liu has just arrived, though its strength is a bit behind yours, but its potential is quite good. Look after it if you can in the future."

Su Mu was worried about Xiao Liu being marginalized, so he said these words.

However, Su Mu's worries were unnecessary. All the Spirit Beasts under his command unconditionally supported him; even new members were part of the family.

.....

These words led Xiao Liu to quietly make a resolution in its heart.

It was fortunate to have been taken in by its owner, and fortunate to become the brother of these powerful creatures. Witnessing the owner's strength and grandeur, its mindset changed. Though in the past countless people revered it as a Celestial Venerable and it was the ancestor of several big sects and major teachings, at this moment it realized its own insignificance....

Therefore, it must work harder, a hundredfold, a thousandfold harder, to strive to help its owner as soon as possible, assist the owner in fulfilling his great ambitions, willing to go through fire and water as a loyal follower, and not hold back. It would not allow itself to lag behind!

.....

"Why are you two injured again?"

"And you too, why are you also injured?"

Su Mu found that the eldest, Little Black Dragon, and the third, Golden Python, were injured again just like the last time he saw them, and their injuries were not light.

Not only that, the second, Kong Yao, was also injured.

Su Mu spent a total of a thousand Favor Points to heal the three beasts.

"You must be careful. Fighting is fine, but remember, if you meet an opponent you can't beat, you should learn to flee. As long as the green hills remain, there is no fear of running out of firewood."

Su Mu cautioned the three beasts.

....

"Alright, you all go ahead and get busy."

Su Mu kept Xiao Liu back by itself.

Just like before, Xiao Liu now had a significant gap compared to its other brothers. As the owner, Su Mu had to think of ways to help a little, at least to balance things as much as possible, which was also part of his responsibility as the owner.

It wasn't possible to just let them give their all while he reaped benefits sitting back, otherwise, he would become a heartless capitalist, wouldn't he?

So, Su Mu prepared to give it special treatment to help it grow.

This was also Su Mu's unique method of Beast Taming, in which each general under his command would receive special treatment based on their situation.

[Do you wish to spend 3000 Favor Points to nourish the "Profound Celestial Turtle"?]

"Yes."

With a thought from Su Mu, a white light enveloped the Little Turtle.

The next moment, its shell turned a dark teal color, its size increased, and the turtle patterns on its shell became more defined and visible. Its aura also skyrocketed several times over, undergoing a transformation compared to before.

At that moment, the Little Turtle's gaze alternated between shock and daze.

Its mind went blank, losing the ability to think momentarily. It had seen countless miracles, but none could surpass the miracle its owner brought by a mere wave of the hand.

With just a wave, it had broken through the bottleneck that had stumped it for countless years, its strength advancing by several tiers.

It then realized that the greatest opportunity lay in following its owner.

....

"Alright, go on."

"Though you've grown a bit and your aura stronger than before, you must still be cautious; there are many fierce fish in this river, stronger and more formidable than you."

Before leaving, Su Mu advised Xiao Liu.

...

After a day of hustle, Master Su, having earned five thousand Favor Points, went home content.

That evening, Su Mu planned to meditate and cultivate using the White Jade Meditation Mat brought to him by the eldest and the third, studying the "God-Striking Treasure Technique" he obtained from Xiao Liu.

By the campfire, Su Mu sat on the White Jade Meditation Mat, gradually closing his eyes.

The next instant, sensing a breeze, he opened his eyes to find himself high above, overlooking a vast land.

Whenever Su Mu meditated on the "White Jade Meditation Mat," he would be in this different dimension, and the "view" was always from a high vantage point, amidst the clouds, surveying this unknown land.

This world seemed incredibly real, as if it truly existed.

However, seated high amongst the clouds, the powerful cultivators passing through the clouds seemed unable to see him.

Upon reflection, it made sense; after all, his true body was at his doorstep. This world before him could very well be an illusion.

Su Mu then began cultivating, strands of mystical energy continuously emerged from the earth below, wrapping around him and nourishing him, making cultivation abundantly clear.

In just a short hour, Su Mu comprehended the threshold of the "God-Striking Treasure Technique's" first scroll, reaching maximum efficiency.

Once fully grasped, after entry, Su Mu could directly use Favor Points to level up, without the need for arduous training.

At that moment, Su Mu heard intense crashing sounds coming from the ground below.

He waved his hand, clearing away a cloud in front of him, and glanced down at the land.

"What... has happened?!"

Su Mu's pupils shrank sharply, leaving him stunned.

....

A while back, this land was still serene and harmonious, yet now the earth was cracked, and looking as far as the eye could see, the entire land was embroiled in conflicts small and large.

It seemed this continent was under invasion, with two factions battling, the scale so massive that it swept across the continent.

Despair, brutality, intensity, darkness... enveloped this land.

Moreover, visible void fissures had formed in the land's space, with numerous cultivators, dressed differently from those of this land, entering the realm on Spirit Beasts, Arks, and carriages, wildly joining the battlefield.

The cultivation levels of these invading cultivators were incredibly powerful, spreading Holy Light across the sky, enveloping the land with a bloody atmosphere of war....

The scene playing out was incredibly real, so real that Su Mu thought this was an actual happening event, merely witnessed from the "god's eye view."

This was a conflict between continents, worlds, invaders, and invaded.

Despite this, the foundation of this native land was incredibly strong, as it continued to resist orderly despite the powerful assault.

As the war grew more intense, the strands of mystical energy converging towards Su Mu became increasingly abundant.

Boom——

A sound of breaking came from Su Mu's Dantian.
