The Master of Beasts-Chapter 631 - 172:

.......

The Thunder God Temple was raided by the Underworld, causing the collapse of the Main Hall and forcing the Sect to relocate, news that quickly spread throughout the True Realm.

No matter how you look at it, the Thunder God Temple is a first-rate Sect, its overall strength is among the strongest in the True Realm, second only to a few great Holy Lands, yet it was forced to relocate its site, which shows how dangerous the Underworld is.

Five Elements Sect, Spiritual Plant Garden Area 3.

Chen Jiuge, cloaked in a black robe, quietly approached an underground cave.

In the dimly lit cave, a broad figure turned his back to Chen Jiuge and said in a deep voice, "You have arrived!"

"I'm here!"

"Actually, you shouldn't have come!"

Chen Jiuge pulled off his cloak speechlessly and said, "Weren't you the one who called me here?"

"Ahem, is that so? I forgot!" Jialouluo turned around, somewhat embarrassed.

"Did you know the Underworld attacked the Thunder God Temple?" Jialouluo said proudly.

Seeing Jialouluo's expression, Chen Jiuge blurted out, "Don't tell me it was you!"

"Ah, how is that possible, I don't have such great ability!" Jialouluo waved his hand humbly, proudly gesturing slightly and said, "I just secretly put the Yin Beasts you cultivated into the Thunder God Temple's Main Hall!"

"And then the Underworld attacked the Thunder God Temple?"

"Yes, indeed, purebred Yin Beasts carry traces of the Underworld within them, and these old ghosts of the Underworld can forcibly open a passage by leveraging these traces." Jialouluo explained.

Chen Jiuge felt a lingering fear; if those Yin Beasts were still in the small valley, the Underworld would have invaded the Five Elements Sect instead of the Thunder God Temple.

"Are all those Yin Beasts dead? Can the Underworld not invade the Yang World at will anymore?" Chen Jiuge asked hopefully.

"Although I wish things were as you said, unfortunately, once Yin and Yang merge, it's irreversible! Sooner or later, the Underworld will merge with the Yang World again, and the cycle of heaven and earth will reappear!" Jialouluo sighed.

"The cycle of heaven and earth? Aren't Immortals supposedly as eternal as the heavens?" Chen Jiuge retorted.

"In the past, when the cycle had not completely disappeared, even Daluo had a limit to their life span, and an Immortal's life span was only a Hui Yuan!"

"So when the cycle is re-established, Immortals will once again face the limit of their life span?"

Chen Jiuge felt a little confused, wondering if the purpose of the Heavenly Gate was to reset the life span limit for those Daluo.

"Wait, this doesn't make sense!"

The root cause of the Underworld invasion seemed to be himself because he cultivated the Yin Beasts, but why did he cultivate Yin Beasts? Apparently, it was because of Jialouluo!

Chen Jiuge looked at Jialouluo with a strange expression, "Do you know about the Heavenly Gate?"

"What Heavenly Gate?" Jialouluo shrugged innocently.

"Never mind, I'm leaving now."

Watching the figure disappear into the cave, Jialouluo took out a self-made cigar, sniffed it, and said with a face full of ecstasy, "What a perceptive kid!"

"After all, he is the owner of the Chaos Pearl, the most legitimate heir of the Great Emperor!"

A charming figure emerged from behind Jialouluo, her snow-white arm gently resting on his body, and her absolutely beautiful face perched on his shoulder.

"Farley, do you think what we did was right?" Jialouluo said with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

Farley, whose stunning appearance had been restored, held Jialouluo's face in her hands firmly and said, "Jialouluo, do you think this world shouldn't change?"

"But..."

"No buts, even such a powerful Evil Ghost Clan was wiped out, and the High Priest's last prophecy before his death not only saw the seal method of the Underworld but also a hope for the future!"

"You, me, and Lucifer are all chosen ones! This world shouldn't be like this!"

"Alright, I understand, I will help you!" Jialouluo sighed softly.

Living or dying, these meant nothing to Jialouluo; having lived countless years, Jialouluo had long since put life and death aside, and upon seeing this unfamiliar world again, he only felt a heavy sense of solitude.

.......

Outside the cave, Chen Jiuge looked back deeply towards the cave entrance, pressing down the hood on his forehead.

"Heavenly Gate? Underworld? Evil Ghosts? If they're not connected, then I'm a fool!"

Everything was too coincidental, starting with Zhong Ning, an honest man who had endured for so many years, suddenly choosing the most radical way to pressure him?

That pit appeared too inexplicably, and could the Law Enforcement Team's disciples really have not noticed anything?

Jialouluo appeared and immediately wanted to recruit him as a subordinate, then had him cultivate Yin Beasts, always complaining his cultivation was not authentic, and then genuine Yin Beasts appeared, along with the Underworld!

All the Yin Beasts he cultivated were taken away, using the Thunder God Temple as bait to attract the attention of the Underworld's powerful, and then the merging of Yin and Yang was irreversible, it was simply ridiculous!

"The biggest question is, why would a Daluo treat me so well, so is it because of the Chaos Pearl?" Chen Jiuge sighed.

Apart from the Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Pearl, Chen Jiuge could think of no other reason why those strong figures would treat him kindly.

"If a Daluo could see through so easily, then what does Ancestor Shen Buhai really think of me? And what about the Sect Master's view of me?"

"Well, never mind, my cultivation is too low, I'm just worrying unnecessarily, when soldiers come, use a rampart to keep them off, when water comes, use a dam to block it."

.......

Star Moon City

Mo Ming stood on the increasingly magnificent city head with Old Jade Flood Dragon Bai Wei.

Looking at the vast yellow sands, Mo Ming said lightly, "Even in such a broad desert, there is brilliant life!"

Bai Wei scratched his nose, somewhat disdainful, and said, "Why are you pretending to be so profound? You're so young, it would be better to join me for a drink with all that time!"

Mo Ming didn't mind Bai Wei's mockery and instead asked seriously, "Do you think with the shackles of life span on the Immortals, with the Heavenly Gate supervising their actions, would this world be more splendid?"

Bai Wei froze for a moment, somewhat incredulous and said, "I understand the life span shackles; I've lived this long, after all, it doesn't really matter anymore, but supervision of actions, do you think the Heavenly Gate can manage that?"

"Why not?" Mo Ming said confidently.

"Even if they could, but how can you ensure the Heavenly Gate wouldn't become corrupt? That's impossible; it's too difficult!" The Old Jade Flood Dragon was very skeptical.

Immortals are still people, and so long as they are, they will have desires, desires that are endless.

And when Immortals have a limit on their life spans, then those on the brink of their limits, how mad would they become, the Old Jade Flood Dragon couldn't imagine, as not everyone is as free and easy as he is.

"Buzz buzz buzz"

A faint black gas appeared in the boundless yellow sands but vanished in the blink of an eye; many cultivators didn't take it seriously, thinking they were just seeing things.

Above the yellow sands, Lin Ping was directing his self-assembled small caravan, struggling to withstand the sudden violent storm.

"Boss, something's wrong with this storm, I've been roaming the Golden Desert for a hundred years and never encountered anything like this!" Weather-beaten Lao Dao's face looked a little off.

Lin Ping spat out a mouthful of sand and said discontentedly, "Something's wrong, we still have to move, I've invested everything in this, as long as this batch of Star Spirit Horses gets delivered, I can break through several levels of cultivation, wrong or not, we have to move on!"

"Moving is not an issue, but I think someone should scout ahead!" Lao Dao said with furrowed brows.

Lin Ping's caravan only had three True Immortals, aside from Lao Dao, the only one left was his uncle from the family.

"I'll go." Lin Yao said lightly.

"Then I trouble you, Uncle." Lin Ping bowed.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, one hour, a full two hours, and there was no news from Lin Yao.

"This isn't right, I have to go and see." Lin Ping's face was a little uneasy.

His own and his uncle's cultivation alone were not as good as Lao Dao, if anything happened to his uncle, the caravan would very likely change ownership.

Lao Dao's eyes flickered, as if he was contemplating something, and finally nodded silently, "Let's go together!"

"Alright!"

The raging sandstorm was very unusual, even a True Immortal's Divine Sense couldn't penetrate it, they were like mortals, trudging through the sand.

"Something's wrong, very wrong!"

Their immortal power seemed completely sealed, all their magic and divine skills were unusable, the only thing they could rely on was their physiques refined by immortal power.

At this moment, Lin Ping was also somewhat scared, unable to use immortal power, Immortals were just physically stronger, there was no real sense of security.

"Let's head back then!"

"Wait, where's the path?" Lin Ping's expression froze.

"Could it be a natural array formed here?" Lao Dao's face turned sullen, he wished he had just killed him earlier and taken the goods!

"Rip rip"

The sound of a beast tearing into its prey came from right in front of them.
