The status of tamers in low land and middle land is vastly different, just like Heaven and Earth.

The difference lies between the location itself.

For instance, lower lands was called because of this for its poor natural concentration of spiritual energy. Due to this factor, aboriginals can reach only lower realms of cultivation, the same with the other creatures that lives there. So, most of the beasts here usually don't reach Tier-4, as this kind of beasts was already a kind that can govern a whole forest, which makes their intelligence stagnant. After all, according to the pass down knowledge, only after Tier-4 that a beast can become as intelligent as human due to its comprehended [Concept] and after it face it owns tribulation.

Most of the time, without absolute control, Tier-1 to Tier-3 beast attack their Master should they do something excessive to them. This leads to bad reputation of taming in the low land.

However, it was different in the middle lands like Eastern Continent.

Since that continent was near at the Central Continent, Eastern Continent had a rich spiritual energy. It was so rich that even a normal human that didn't practice cultivation can reach Mana Gathering-Stage and even Core Formation-Stage with just inhaling the spiritual energy in the air.

It was the same for other creatures.

In fact, with their natural endowment and natural inheritance they can recieve from the bloodline, beast can become more powerful after some time. Normally, as long as the beast don't get hinder with their own bloodline, they could reach Tier-4 when they mature.

It was also due to this that tamers was very renown at the Eastern Continent. Anyone don't want to fall under the control of others, much less a beasts who'll usually choose to perish rather than being enslave with humans, specially after they awaken their spirituality.

However, it was also becuase of this spirituality that beast becomes more scarier.

Unlike Wild Beast, Magical Beast won't casually attack their own Master with small misunderstanding.

Furthermore, after a beast reach Tier-4, their learning ability was no different from human. It was known that beasts was innately superior to human. They don't need to use other external aid like weapon as their own body was their own weapon. They also don't need to practice their own technique since they can recieve knowledge from their bloodline and instinctually master it.

Beasts become innately superior than human in any sense, and those who can use it as their own becomes more superior and scarier, just like those tamers.

It was the same with plants who become sentient. Although they've got limited with their own body and awakening and improving their intelligence are far more slower, they were more easier to control and less prone to defect from their Master. Besides, there's no lack of scary sentient plant in the world. In fact, there were even some that use other flesh's creatures and blood as their own fertilizer. There were even some who can contend with Dragons and make those powerful creatures as their fertilizer too.

The most difficult to tame was spirits. Not only their number was small, they also had terrifying intelligence or learning ability they formed. Finding them was already hard and taming is another matter.

Furthermore, it is said that spirits was born without physical body as their own body was the Heaven itself. This gives them the ability to percive the truths about the nature and comprehend [Concept] more easily. They could also control the wild spiritual energy in the surrounding and integrates it to their attacks to empower it as well as decrease the needed spiritual energy for every cast. Their spiritual energy natural recovery was fast compare to any other creature, specially elemental spirits.

This was the reason why the both side look at the spectacle Cole made when summon his contracted creatures. And they were surprised that he actually call not one but two elemental spirits!

It was understandable that he could tame a sentient plant since this place was known as Azure Continent and known for its rich amount of plants but elemental spirits was another matter!

Even at the Eastern Continent, elemental spirits were very rare that they could only be encountered but not sought. Furthermore, they were also hunted not because of their crystallized body as the crystallization of the rich, pure amount of spiritual energy but because they were a floating crystal of [Concept]!

Yes, the reason why the elementals was hunted in the Eastern Continent was becuase of its [Concept]. Elementals body will turn into a crystal that also contains trace of their comprehend [Concept]!

For any creature alike, this crystal means their road to breakthrough to Void Sensing-Stage or Tier-4! It was more apparent for all the people in the scene who still don't comprehend their own [Concept]

All of the people outside the light barrier look at Pis-ces and Bell with greed in their eyes. In fact, they use the two new elementals as their goal and attack the light barrier with more vigor!

Who Cole summon was Pis-ces, Bell and lastly, the sentient tree that was Groot.

After Cole achieved Nirvana, he already put forward of looking for the other fellow righteous path cultivators. He knew that all of his contracted creatures received their own benefit when he had got reborn with Nirvana but he don't had time to spare and check their own unique improvement.

This was the first time he saw the changes to his three contracted creatures.

The first contracted creature Cole had the very vast and apparent change was the one who's the former biggest of them all, the Armored Demon Treant: Groot.

Groot's former appearance could be described in one word, menacing! With its dried body as though it greatly needs moisture and needed blood specifically, and the red blood veins-like that covers it whole tree humanoid body!

However, now, someone who don't know might think that Groot practically reborn and become another creature altogether!

First of all, its height was reduced to the same as Cole.

Second, weaker being that looks at it will see differently. They will see that its a very beautiful woman that can arouse the lust of normal man.

However, all of it was false, as surprisingly, Groot evolved into another creature that can use illusions.

Behind that seductive woman was a demon that could incite fear in one look, vastly different from the tempting persona. It seems that the former Armored Demon Treant acquire tactics that can attract 'prey' to nourish itself.

The true looks behind the seductive woman was a humanoid bloody tree with pitch black hollows as its orifice. Those openings seems to be able to suck soul of weaker beings.

The wooden armor was gone and was replaced with slender tree body.

The illusionary woman had a long, vibrant, red hair behind her back which further adds to her seductive charisma. However, behind the true image of Groot, that red hair was actually a cluster of vines. It was also the same size of hair but it was way more stronger as it was basically used by trapping the prey it attracts.

Furthermore, what add to the horror of those vine hairs was that it had thorns shaped like hooks. The prey that will fall to its demonic hairs will definitely feel a hellish experience.

But surprisingly, behind that scary appearance was... peaceful vibe and holy feeling. In fact, it felt like it had the same aura as the Tree of Life. Its appearance and the vibe it gave off were very contradictory.

This was probably the effect of [Immortal Purity True Phoenix Flame], after all, that flame exudes a rich amount of life energy, force and essence.

In first look, it was apparent that the newly evolved Groot is a demonic tree that attracts preys for their blood. However, after Nirvana caused by the [Immortal Purity True Phoenix Flame], the demonic being seems to be evolve into something angelic at the same time.

On the other hand, the second that had the very vast change was the Water Spirit Carp, Pis-ces.

Before, Pis-ces was just a plain looking crystallized blue twin fish. But this time, thought they were still made up of water, the first one release a very hot temperature while the other was the exact opposite of it.

However, despite releasing both polar extreme temperature, there were no negative changes in the surrounding. There were no plants get withered with the high temperature and no frost form with the extremely low temperature. In fact, Cole could even feel that those plants felt happy by the temperature the two passively released.

It was both strange and amazing at the same time.

Lastly, was Bell, the Flower Bell Fairy.

There were no big changes in the latter. Her size doesn't change and was still the miniature elven beauty the same size as thumb. Only, there were now a flower tiara on top of her head and the pair of wings becomes transparent. There were straight lines etched on her wings like the guitar or violin strings. Every time she beat her wings, pleasant sound akin to nature's whispering could be heard.

Through their contract, Cole said what they need to do. Groot is responsible for those injured people with chaotic blood flow, Pis-ces was for those with no heavy injury while Bell was to summon a giant bell to heal those soul damage and also attack those demonic disciples at the same time. While him, he approach those injured people inflicted with Corpe-Energy and Poison.

Bell immediately do her role. She use her skill [Multi-Bell] and summon a giant bell out of void. When it shakes and produce sound, those people with injured soul cause by the Poltergeist Cult disciples instantly show serene expression. It was apparent that soul healing was very effective.

Meanwhile, the people outside grimaced. In fact, the normal Tier-4 Vengeful Ghost illusionary body distorted and was nearly dispersed. It seems that sound-based attack was very effective to ghost. Those heavily injured ghosts with one attack of Bell waa immediately unsummoned by their Master, which greatly lessen the burden to righteous cultivators side.

Some of the corpse puppet flops down to the ground. Their Master lose control of them when they were injured in their soul. While many of the Blood Demon's Creed disciples momentarily lose control of their blood weapon and it splash to the ground.

Pis-ces cast two skills at the same time. First was [Blessing of the Water] and gave those people ability to breath underwater and follow with [Healing Water] which immediately covers the people with giant blob of water.

This time, Pis-ces use a the cold water for the disciples of Cold Jade Palace while hot water to the disciples of Nine Yang Sect. Suprisingly, the healing speed of the two increased by half to those two sects. In addition, the hot water seems to be effective on healing injuries with Corpse-Energy too while the cold water are also more effective on healing and recovering soul damage.

On the other hand, Cole brought out a crimson orb with the image of bloodied man out of his [Inner World] and make it touch Groot's body.

Immediately, a prompt appear on Cole's eyesight!

[Make Groot learn the skill [Demonic Blood Arts : Blood Manipulation]?]

Yes, the thing that Cole acquire from the disciple of Blood Demon's Creed defeated by Lilia was none other than a Skill Crystal!

Literally, just like its name stated, Skill Crystal contains skill that can be instantly learned.

He don't know if this Skill Crystal can be learned by others without the assistance of his [System] since this was the very first Skill Crystal he encounter after the small upgrade of the latter.

Of course, Cole answer 'Yes,'.

Immediately, the red orb vibrates for a second before turn into a liquid and seeps into Groot's body.

[Groot successfully learn [Blood Demon Arts : Blood Manipulation]. Fused with Blood Arts!]

Then, the red sap, which greatly resemble blood, that covers the whole tree vibrates intensely before detaching and float in the air. Afterwards, as though it was merely a water, Groot control the blood, practice for a second and creates different shapes object.

Cole nodded his head in satisfaction.

Although the assimilation process looks easy and simple, Cole knew that it was far from that. There were definitely some other factors that needs to be considered before one can learn a skill specially from the Skill Crystal. For instance, compatibility, potential, the existing ability of the target and many other that he can think of at the moment.

It was fortunate that Groot was very compatible with the said skill.

In addition, Cole wants to believe that the assistance of the [System] that makes everything easy and possible.

This said skill was very needed in this situation. Now, Groot can immediately utilize this skill, use it to control the reversed blood flow and return it to normal. The latter will use the said skill the exact opposite the disciples of Blood Demon's Creed utilize it.

It was after that Cole let Groot what he had do and help the people to return their natural blood flow.

As for him, he approach the disciple of Nine Yang Sect that was inflicted with heavy corrossion of Corpse-Energy. This certain male disciple already had half of his body corroded with the Corpse-Energy and this half part was either had some devoid of skin and muscles was showed to the air or were already devoid of it and was only left with bones, specially her fingers and hands.

His injury was so heavy that he pass out already and the others already gave up of him. It was only becuase of his cultivation attributes that resisted the Corpse-Energy until now. His life force was so weak that he'll die in any moment.

However, it all change when Cole approach the said man as murky green mist released by the body.

This time, it was the effect of his white clothe transformed appearance of [Transforming Soulbound Feather]'s [Spirit of Purity]. The first effect of the said skill purifiers everything in the surrounding, and by the looks of it, Corpse-Energy was one of those filthy kind of energy, or more probably, the exact opposite of Life-Energy which immediately identified by the feathers of Phoenix as an enemy.

The pained expression of the said disciple becomes more deeper. It was apparent that the extraction and purification of Corpse-Energy was far more painful that its corrupting process. It is also possible that the Corpse-Energy already seeps deep into his body which definitely makes the whole process very painful. After all, the Corpse-Energy deep into the marrow is definitely more harder and painful to pull than those in just his skin parts.

At the same time, he also gave a command to Celia to bring all those inflicted with corruption of Corpse-Energy near him, so that that malicious energy get refined and expell out of their body.

Aftewards, he use this small break to look at the new data his three contracted creature has!

First was Groot, followed by Bell and Pis-ces!
