Chapter 489: Chapter 479: A Shattered Worldview—Only Its Wounded World Remains

But since the Master had already spoken, the Iron-Eating Beast couldn’t possibly object. It could only nod and agree.

After giving a few simple instructions, Su Mu went to meditate and cultivate, leaving the Barrier Beasts to chat and get to know each other.

No one was happier with the Master’s arrangement than the little group of five.

With Ah Fei’s departure, the backyard just happened to need a sales champion, and Brother Shi was perfect to fill the vacancy.

The Barrier Beasts were happy, the little group of five was satisfied, but the world seemed to have only wounded the Iron-Eating Beast.

...

As they chatted, they decided to test the abilities of the Barrier Beasts.

"Big-Eared Brother, Big-Eyed Brother, since you’re new here, would you show us a bit of your skills to broaden our horizons?"

At this time, the Little Brown Bear smiled and suggested to the two Barrier Beasts.

This was exactly what everyone was thinking.

Among those present, apart from the Iron-Eating Beast and the Little Groundhog who had seen the Barrier Beasts’ abilities firsthand, no one else had. They also wanted to see what power the Barrier Beasts had to replace Brother Shi in guarding the front yard.

Mainly, they wanted reassurance to see if they could trust them.

The Little Brown Bear’s words hit right on the mark, and the two Barrier Beasts were indeed eager to showcase their skills.

The two Barrier Beasts stood before the front yard gate, each holding a scepter. When the scepters clashed together, a transparent barrier appeared before everyone.

"Second Brother, no need to try, Big Brother has tested it for you," the Little Groundhog said earnestly, patting the Little Brown Bear’s shoulder.

Despite Big Brother’s "good advice," how could the Little Brown Bear and others heed it?

"Big Brother, don’t worry, let me handle it!"

With that, the Little Brown Bear unleashed its aura and punched seriously at the barrier!

At the instant the fist struck the barrier. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Instantly, it was thrown back, lying on the ground with a pale face, on the verge of passing out.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

One move, not only did it not shake at all, but it also caused such severe recoil??

Seeing this, the Little Squirrel, Little Monkey, and Little Owl also tried, and as expected, they were all sent flying in one move.

Apart from the Little Fox, everyone else tried a round, but not one could break the defense.

This battle firmly established the Barrier Beasts’ status in everyone’s minds; they were indeed fit for the job.

But the Iron-Eating Beast was very upset, watching helplessly as its position was taken away. It wanted to cry but couldn’t!

Damn it!

This is like leading wolves into the house!

"Sister Xiaobai, do you want to try?" Nannan asked the Little Fox lying under a tree not far away.

Upon hearing this, the Little Fox merely lifted its head, glanced at the Barrier Beasts, and then continued lying down.

On the surface, the Barrier Beasts remained unperturbed, but inside, waves were surging.

Though no one could break their barrier defenses, each had formidable strength!

Because they were born to "defend," if their defense wasn’t maxed out, they would be vulnerable!

....

"Brother Shi, let’s go. I’ll show you around the backyard,"

At this moment, the Little Groundhog came over to the desolate-eyed Iron-Eating Beast.

"Don’t bother me, I want to be alone right now," the Iron-Eating Beast sighed.

.....

Nannan was also very fond of these two little creatures and began introducing them to their home.

The Barrier Beasts were exposed to a whole new world.

Everyone and everything by the Master’s side was extraordinary!

As they entered the backyard and gazed at the herb garden brimming with various Holy Medicines, their eyes widened.

Could it be that this was what the Master referred to as "planting vegetables in the backyard"??

Are these vegetables???

Each was a top-notch grade Holy Medicine Great Herb!

Even more eye-opening was the "Water Cellar."

The Master used the Water of Time to construct a "Basement World," where all these Treasure Fish were raised, all formidable figures from the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!

The two Barrier Beasts’ worldview was repeatedly turned upside down.

It further confirmed that they had indeed made the right choice and come to the right place.

Most importantly, they felt unprecedented "warmth." Here, everyone got along very well, and they also loved this atmosphere.

All their memories of their former lord had been erased, but they remembered being under compulsion, living poorly, and being expendable pieces.

However, here, everything seemed different. The Master, the little Master, and the other brothers treated them as equals, with great respect.

Moreover, the Master imposed no constraints on them, making them feel extremely relaxed.

So they decided to serve the Master wholeheartedly.

...

Under the Phoebe Tree, Su Mu sat meditating.

Lately, every night he would enter a "Reincarnation Dream Realm."

With each successful dream, the stone bridge in his Sea of Consciousness became more solid, and his soul and Divine Sense would ascend.

With a wave of his hand, Su Mu summoned the Square Cauldron.

Currently, the Square Cauldron was no longer as massive as when first seen; it had shrunk to about the height of Su Mu’s head.

Su Mu rubbed his chin and circled the Square Cauldron, examining it carefully.

With a wave of his hand, he channeled Spiritual Power into the Square Cauldron, only to find that no matter how much was poured in, it was like sinking into the sea, unable to activate it.

Su Mu waved again, throwing several kinds of Great Herb materials into the cauldron, igniting the Spiritual Fire to begin refining them.

After refining for an hour, all the Great Herb materials inside had turned into liquid, showing no sign of forming a pill.

This indicated that the cauldron was not for alchemy.

Su Mu’s alchemy skills were not poor; if this cauldron could be used for alchemy, it would at least form pills, not merely liquid.

Ruling out alchemy, Su Mu began other attempts.

Unable to alchemize, use for cultivation, or even activate, it was completely like an empty shell.

The only advantage Su Mu found was that the cauldron was extremely sturdy; neither the Black Axe nor the Silver Dagger could leave a single mark upon it.

Surely, it couldn’t be used as a defensive treasure??

After thoroughly researching it without any results, Su Mu simply stored it in his Dantian Space.

When the Square Cauldron appeared in the Dantian Space, the Black and White Divine Tree within emitted a faint glow, establishing a subtle connection with the cauldron, a sense of resonance.

Su Mu noticed this change.

With a thought, he gently moved the Square Cauldron and the Black and White Divine Tree closer, and at the moment of their contact, a miraculous scene occurred!
