Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 533: The Three Forms of the Ghost Beast
The God List issued by the Eternal Divine Hall lingered in the sky for a full month before gradually disappearing.
All the major powers of the Divine Land were in an uproar.
Everyone was eager, preparing to head to the Ancient Star Tomb to seek their fortunes.
If they were lucky, not only could they obtain the inheritance or magic treasures of the Ancient Clan, but if they managed to kill the Remnants of the Dragon Clan, they could even earn rewards from the Eternal Divine Hall.
It was, one might say, a chance to kill two birds with one stone.
Around the thirtieth day, Ye Yun broke through to the Third Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm.
After his breakthrough, Ye Yun didn’t rush to continue his cultivation. Instead, he began to delve into a particular Divine Technique.
The warehouse was filled with countless Divine Techniques, the ultimate life’s work of mighty beings from across the heavens; Ye Yun wished he could master them all.
On the fortieth day, the Yoga Godlord found Ye Yun. After a discussion, they prepared to set off.
After all, it would take some time to journey from the Western Buddha Region to the Yao Guang Galaxy.
Once they reached the Yao Guang Galaxy, it would take even more time to venture deep into its depths and find the entrance to the Ancient Star Tomb.
Nine days should be just about enough time.
The two summoned their respective disciples, gathering them in the square. Ye Yun retrieved the Divine Immortal Boat and tossed it into mid-air, where it transformed into a behemoth. He then stepped aboard.
The Yoga Godlord did likewise.
The other disciples soared into the air, landed on the Celestial Boat, and, sitting cross-legged, immediately focused on their cultivation.
This time, the Yoga Godlord brought about a hundred disciples, nearly the same number as the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.
However, all the disciples the Yoga Godlord brought were at the Divine Monarch Realm.
From the Yoga Master Palace, only she herself was at the Tenth Layer Peak of the Divine Sovereign Realm.
When entering the Ancient Star Tomb, the higher one’s cultivation base, the greater the risk of perishing. Thus, sects and forces generally wouldn’t send disciples with overly high cultivation bases.
Those with cultivation bases at the Divine Sovereign Realm or higher were usually Protectors. They would escort the Divine Monarch Realm disciples to the depths of the Yao Guang Galaxy and then wait outside for their triumphant return.
The Yoga Godlord also felt that Ye Yun’s foundation was unfathomably deep. Coupled with his formidable Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path, she felt quite certain in her heart that no problems would arise if she accompanied him.
WHOOSH!
The Celestial Boat tore through the sky.
It took a full three days to travel from the Western Buddha Region to the far northern Yao Guang Galaxy.
When Ye Yun saw the magnificent, brilliant river of stars cascading down from the nine heavens, flowing across the Divine Land and into the distance, he couldn’t help but be utterly astounded.
This is truly a masterpiece of nature, a divine creation!
Even a powerhouse at the God Emperor Realm would find it difficult to create such a majestic galaxy.
This river of stars was a full hundred million miles wide, its length immeasurable, stretching into the farthest reaches.
According to the Yoga Godlord, the end of this galaxy should flow into a massive, dark Abyss.
And that Abyss was bottomless, constantly radiating an extremely terrifying aura; even a Cultivator at the Divine Sovereign Realm would struggle to get near.
Legend had it... that was the entrance to the Nine Soul Nether Hell.
"So many people!" exclaimed Clear Heavenly Lord, who was standing behind Ye Yun. She gazed at the various flying magic treasures continuously plunging into the Yao Guang Galaxy.
"With the appearance of the God List this time, I fear the number of participants will increase at least a hundredfold," Ye Yun said calmly.
"That many? It’ll be a case of too many monks and too little porridge then. We’ll just have to stick with you, Master," Clear Heavenly Lord said, sticking out her tongue playfully.
Seeing the usually cold Clear Heavenly Lord suddenly display such a girlish demeanor, Ye Yun found it rather amusing.
It seems that within the entire Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, even these great Heavenly Lords haven’t cultivated the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path well enough. Only Yun Xiao has completely severed all desires, cut off his past, and achieved the consummate Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path.
Watching countless people rush into the galaxy one after another, Ye Yun maneuvered the Celestial Boat and flew into the Yao Guang Galaxy along with them.
The Yao Guang Galaxy was formed from innumerable points of starlight; these points of starlight were composed of tiny light particles gathered together, creating an unimaginably vast river of stars.
Upon entering the galaxy, everyone felt these light particles whizzing past them—cool and refreshing, yet imbued with a sense of mystery.
At first, no one paid much mind, but as their Celestial Boat flew deeper into the galaxy, after a day had passed, the disciples at the Divine Monarch Realm began to find it unbearable.
The tiny starlight particles contained an unimaginably powerful force. Being struck by them felt as agonizing as being hit by a magic treasure.
"This Yao Guang Galaxy is terrifying! Quickly, bring out your magic treasures!" exclaimed a disciple from the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.
Hearing this, everyone quickly took out their magic treasures and held them above their heads. Various kinds of magic treasures cast down streams of light, enveloping and protecting them.
With the aid of their magic treasures, they were finally unaffected by the starlight.
Ye Yun saw this and couldn’t help but smile, his gaze shifting to the distance.
As the Celestial Boat journeyed onward, they could frequently see an occasional seven-colored shaft of starlight shooting into the sky from afar.
That was the place where the Ancient Star Tomb manifested.
This seven-colored starlight also served as a beacon, guiding the numerous Cultivators from the Divine Land towards the depths of the galaxy.
The number of people this time was extremely large.
There were also some overconfident individuals, whose cultivation bases had only just reached the Second or Third Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm. After flying for some distance, they could no longer endure and had no choice but to helplessly turn back.
"Supreme Brother, although there are many people this time, many will also perish. That place, the Ancient Star Tomb, is home to many terrifying Ghost Beasts..."
The Yoga Godlord gazed at the distant seven-colored starlight. Remembering her experience entering the Ancient Star Tomb hundreds of thousands of years ago, her exquisitely beautiful face turned slightly pale.
Although the three of them had each gained their own fortuitous encounters that time, they had also experienced dozens of perilous situations. On several occasions, if not for their seamless teamwork, they would have nearly perished there.
Therefore, whenever the Yoga Godlord recalled her past experiences, she still felt a lingering fear.
"What is this Ghost Beast?" Ye Yun asked, feigning ignorance once more. He couldn’t help it; he genuinely didn’t know.
"Ghost Beasts are bizarre creatures born from the bodies of the powerful experts of the Ancient Clan after their deaths," the Yoga Godlord explained. "Ghost Beasts have different forms, generally categorized into three types: the first is beast-shaped, the second is insect-shaped, and the third is humanoid."
"Is there a difference between the three types? Which one is more formidable?" Ye Yun asked with a smile.
"The humanoid ones are the most formidable. Generally, if you’re lucky enough to kill a humanoid Ghost Beast, there’s a high chance it will drop a Cultivation Technique or a magic treasure," the Yoga Godlord replied with a smile.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, curious. "That’s rather odd. For Ghost Beasts to contain inherited Cultivation Techniques and magic treasures within them... it’s almost as if they’re intentionally gifting them to the Spirits of the Divine Land."
"You can’t quite say that," the Yoga Godlord said, her beautiful eyes glinting as she gave a charming smile. "The Ancient Clan has already been defeated. Although their origins are bizarre, they haven’t shown any trace in the Divine Land for nearly ten million years. So, there shouldn’t be any issues with the Cultivation Techniques and magic treasures obtained from slaying these Ghost Beasts."
"Hmm."
Ye Yun nodded silently, not offering any rebuttal.
However, in his heart, he felt this matter wasn’t quite as simple as it seemed.
