[”SIR, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY QUEST INCOMING!]

Stuck there just after he had picked the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus; Mesa was assaulted by an alarm going off in his head followed afterwards by JARVIS announcing an Emergency Quest.

[”Emergency Quest Starting!”]

And right after that, Mesa noticed that he could move once again. After he had plucked the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, he could feel the ground that they were standing on starting to vibrate. Remembering this moment from the story, he knew what would happen next and Put the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus inside the Sky Poison Pearl.

”We need to leave, right now!” Said Mesa as he grabbed Xia Qingyue in a princess hold and teleported away from there. Reappearing a kilometer away from there, Mesa put down Xia Qingyue and took out the Yamato from the Gate of Babylon and waited. Looking back to where they had plucked the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, the ground was still shaking violently. After a while, the ground starts to lift up and break. Apparently, the Emperor Awakening Heart was sitting on top of a lake that was frozen over on top a thirty-meter-thick layer of ice. And now, it was broken like thin sheets of paper and chunks of ice were thrown far away into the sky. And after that, a huge wave of water came barreling out of the formerly frozen lake and towards them. Xia Qingyue had an expression of pure terror on her face and she didn't know what was going on. All she knew is that, whatever broke out of the ice was something of unprecedented power.

Taking quick action, Mesa thrust out his right hand and calls forth his flying mount: ”Come out Articuno!”

With the swallow tattoo on the back of his right hand momentarily glowing in an icy blue color, Articuno comes out and appears before them. Grabbing Xia Qingyue around her waist with his right arm, Mesa jumps the both of them on top of Articuno before they fly off into the sky and evade the wave of water that came towards them. And then out of the water, an incredibly huge figure rises up out of the water and leapt a hundred feet into the air, coming down with a world shaking sound.

AWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

A terrifying roar sounded out of the mouth of the huge figure that came out of the water. This figure was an enormous beast. It was around three hundred meters tall and white hair covered its entire body. It had a humanlike body and a vicious wolf like head with scarlet red eyes and clawed hands. The aura that it released put it at the early stage Tyrant Profound Realm. Xia Qingyue was tightly clinging on to Mesa, her mind completely engulfed in fear and unable to think any further.

In between two icy mountains, Ling Yuefeng finally found his first reward from an ancient forest that wasn't completely covered in ice and snow. Just as he was about to pluck a pitch black Reishi, the sound of a profound beast suddenly echoed from the distance. The place it came from was very far away, so the sound wasn't very loud, but it shook Ling Yuefeng's entire body. His face showed a shocked expression and he was trembling hearing this roar that originated from faraway.

”This is… this is… the power of a Tyrant Profound Beast!!” Ling Yuefeng looked in the distance and an uncontrollable fear loomed over his face.

”Inside the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, there was actually a Tyrant Profound Beast… Wait! This cry is filled with anger! Could it be that someone stepped into its territory or provoked it?”
