Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Call Out Her Contracted Beasts

"No wonder..." Bai Xifeng let out a long, slow breath. Then she grinned, a deeply dangerous, predatory grin. "You injured me so many times yesterday only because I could not see you."

Her hand slowly and deliberately reached for her trusted dagger.

"But now..." Bai Xifeng’s eyes remained firmly closed, her internal senses locking onto the battlefield. "I can see every single one of you."

The grin on her face widened further. "I wonder how you’re going to hurt me now."

Without a single word of warning, Bai Xifeng shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. Her heightened senses locked onto the nearest shadow creature.

Slash!

Her dagger cut cleanly through its smoky neck, and the shadow creature collapsed instantly into dust. Before its body even touched the ground, Bai Xifeng had already pivoted and blurred toward the second one.

Slash!

A third. Slash!

A fourth. Slash!

A fifth. Slash!

The silent forest quickly transformed into a chaotic battlefield. With her eyes completely closed, Bai Xifeng moved faster and faster, her movements becoming a fluid dance of death. Her dagger flashed repeatedly in the dim light.

One shadow creature after another fell beneath her relentless blade. She completely stopped counting after a while. There were simply too many of them to keep track.

Kill. Move. Kill. Move. Kill. Move. The lethal cycle repeated endlessly.

Eventually, the relentless attacks finally stopped. Absolute silence returned to the forest floor. Bai Xifeng remained completely motionless for several moments, keeping her eyes firmly closed as she carefully scanned the entire surrounding area. Nothing. The creatures were completely gone. Every single one of them had been slaughtered.

Even stranger, the dark corpses left on the ground slowly dissolved into countless glowing particles of energy before sinking deep into the earth itself, as though the floor was greedily absorbing them.

Only after fully confirming that no hidden enemies remained did Bai Xifeng finally reopen her eyes. Then, she immediately activated her defensive array once more as a safety precaution. The moment the barrier formed around her, the adrenaline left her system, and she collapsed backwards onto the dirt.

"Ah..." Bai Xifeng stared up at the simulated sky, breathing heavily.

Bai Xifeng was completely exhausted. There had been far too many of those shadow creatures. Honestly, even fighting the terrifying Ji Yuan did not feel this draining. At least Ji Yuan only existed in one place at a time!

Suddenly, Bai Xifeng felt an unusual shift in the atmosphere. The spiritual energy in the immediate area was rapidly and exponentially increasing. Her eyes widened, and she immediately sat upright. The surrounding spiritual air had become extraordinarily dense, so rich and pure that every single breath she took felt intensely refreshing to her meridians.

"Hmm?" Bai Xifeng looked around.

Although she could not see the spiritual energy directly with her eyes, she could clearly feel its heavy weight in the air.

Then, a brilliant thought suddenly appeared in her mind. This rare, high-quality spiritual energy should absolutely not be wasted. Without a second thought, she opened her portal and summoned her contracted beasts.

"Baihu."

"Gryffindor."

"Cerberus."

"Princess Huahua."

"Mori."

"Anya."

"Pegasus."

Even Xiaohong, who was still resting inside its egg, was carefully brought out.

One after another, her contracted beasts materialised in flashes of light. Only Baishe, Heishe, and Tao-chan did not emerge, as the three of them were already powerful enough that they no longer needed this specific level of spiritual energy to grow.

"Xifeng, where on earth are we?" Baihu asked, looking around the strange forest curiously.

"This is the Tianlong Cultivation Pagoda." Bai Xifeng smiled warmly, gesturing to the air. "The spiritual energy here right now is extremely beneficial. Hurry up and absorb as much as you can."

The contracted beasts immediately became excited. Understanding the rare opportunity, they all sat down in a circle and began cultivating. Even Xiaohong’s egg rolled around happily on the soft ground, wobbling back and forth as though it could feel the immense benefits of the rich atmosphere.

Bai Xifeng could not help but laugh softly at the adorable sight.

While everyone was peacefully cultivating their energy, Anya suddenly noticed an anomaly.

"Xifeng! Xifeng!" The Queen Bee immediately flew over, buzzing excitedly. "Look over there!"

Anya pointed her tiny hand in a specific direction. Bai Xifeng followed her gaze through the trees. Not very far away, a brand-new stone staircase had magically appeared, its ancient steps extending upward into the sky.

Bai Xifeng instantly understood what it meant. She had successfully cleared the trial of this floor. The staircase was her official reward to progress.

However, Bai Xifeng had absolutely no intention of climbing it immediately. The residual spiritual energy floating here was simply too valuable to abandon. Her contracted beasts rarely had golden opportunities like this to grow together, and it had been quite some time since most of them had left the Mirror World.

Cerberus came out recently, but only because she had needed transportation rather than actual relaxation. So, Bai Xifeng simply remained sitting where she was, acting as their guardian and allowing her companions to continue cultivating peacefully.

Eventually, her internal clock signalled that her allotted time inside the Cultivation Pagoda was nearing its absolute end. Reluctantly, she clapped her hands and called everyone back.

One after another, her loyal contracted beasts returned to the safety of the Mirror World. Even Xiaohong’s egg disappeared in a flash of light.

A moment later, a familiar, powerful pulling force enveloped her body. Her cultivation session had officially ended. The scenery blurred, and Bai Xifeng was instantly transported out of the Cultivation Pagoda.

"If the spiritual energy is still lingering there next time..." Bai Xifeng nodded thoughtfully to herself, adjusting her robes. "I will definitely bring them all out again."
