The Master of Beasts-Chapter 788 - 250_2

"Could Ying City have fallen here?"

"But I'm not Ying City!"

Although saying he didn't care, Chen Jiuge's vigilance was already at its peak. He hadn't yet enjoyed the view from the top, so how could he fall here?

"Maybe it's time to try those previous ideas!"

......

True Realm, Golden Desert.

The Fifth looked at the eldest in confusion and asked, "Why are we here?"

Because it had just merged with the True Realm, and having been developed by major sects for a long time, plus the arrival of the Nightmare Clan, now the Golden Desert looked very worn out, even the spiritual energy was not as abundant as in other places in the True Realm.

Hong Ri's face remained indifferent as he said, "The True Realm is not suitable for us now, just follow me. We've known each other for years, when have I ever made a mistake!"

The Second nodded quietly and said, "What Big Brother said is true, let's all listen to him!"

"Let's go, those pups from the Holy Land will be here soon. I don't want to deal with the little ones just to have the big ones come after!" Hong Ri said calmly.

"Let's go!"

In fact, going to another world was not Hong Ri's idea. Unlike the other seven, Hong Ri's origin is very ancient, ancient enough to be traced back to the time when the Nine Great Treasures appeared simultaneously.

"All Things Ruler, why must I go to that place? If I'm not senile, aren't all the hosts of the Nine Great Treasures fallen because of this place?" Hong Ri asked.

"Don't you want to transcend? You've survived into this era, even built a Tomb of Death during your peak to hide yourself within, all for that glimmer of hope, right?" All Things Ruler said flatly.

"According to what you're saying, does that world have hope for transcendence?"

"The True Realm is not the only realm here. The most primitive continent was actually called the Heavenly Realm, but during ancient times, the Heavenly Realm was shattered. The True Realm is merely a world reborn on the remnants of the Heavenly Realm!"

"Not even the core area of the Heavenly Realm during ancient times, which is why you cannot transcend. Know that transcenders in ancient times were rare, but not nonexistent!"

"The world you're going to now, if compared to parts of the human body, would correspond to the spine. The laws and the strongest aspects of people in that world are their physical bodies, whereas the True Realm is like the lungs or kidneys, where its cultivators are more adept in magic techniques!"

"Oh, what about the heart? The heart should be the most important part, where did it go?" Hong Ri asked curiously.

"I'm puzzled as well. When the Heavenly Realm shattered, I recall the largest piece of land, which should be both the heart and brain. Logically, that land should be the strongest, yet it has remained silent!" All Things Ruler was also confused.

"Forget it, this isn't something old me is worried about, I just want a method for transcendence!"

Hong Ri's eyes were full of longing. For this almost nonexistent path to transcendence, he had abandoned everything—family, clan, friends, daoist couple, and even his own morals!

"Let's hope it doesn't disappoint me!"

"Disappointment, haha, I'm just worried you won't be able to take on this fate when it comes!"

"Is that so? Whether I can take it or not, I must."

"Ask the Dao in the morning, die in the evening!"

"Big Brother, the laws here feel strange!" said the Third, whose divine sense was strongest.

"Hmm?"

The remaining seven looked shocked: "How is it possible that my divine skills and magic almost entirely lost their power?"

With a calm face, Hong Ri said, "Don't panic, the laws here lean towards physical cultivation, the Heavenly Bodies we've refined over the years in the Tomb of Death weren't refined in vain."

"Big Brother is right, Third, you're too sensitive!" said the carefree Fourth unceremoniously.

"What do you mean? You're inherently a body refining practitioner, of course you're not worried!" the Third said speechlessly, as someone who specialized in divine skills, he was practically crippled in this environment!

"Let's find a local to ask, settle down first, and then talk!" As soon as Hong Ri spoke, the remaining six stopped quarreling.

"Big Brother, there's someone over there?"

The Third, with the sharpest senses, pointed in another direction.

"Let's go!"

"Bang, bang, bang"

The hunting team, who were about to carry the prey back, were swiftly taken down by Hong Ri's group, with the heavy bodies of spiritual beasts hitting the ground, making heavy thuds.

"Who are you?" The last standing member tightly gripped his spear, looking somewhat nervous.

"Why do they look so strange?" The Second was a bit curious.

"They're different from us?" The Sixth, already dissecting the fallen natives on the side, found they had two hearts and two spines!

"Dual hearts, dual spines, no wonder they felt so tough during the fight!"

"After all, they are from another world, they can't be entirely like us. Alright, Third, just soul search directly. Even if the laws here suppress you, you should manage it."

"As expected of Big Brother, then I won't hold back!"

"What... what do you want to do?"

"Hehehe!"

The Third placed his left hand on the only conscious native's head: "Let me see what's different about this place!"

"Ahhh"

As the Third's left hand gradually darkened, the native's screams intensified.

Scenes continuously floated through the Third's mind, mostly the native's life experiences, which didn't interest him.

"Hmm? Nine Dragon Tribe? There's a memory of their Clan Leader in action, interesting, let's take a look!"

From the native's perspective, a burly man over ten feet tall stood quietly on a huge martial stage, with a massive Black Rock behind him!

The small giant turned, placed his palm on the Black Rock's surface, then with a "crack," the Black Rock shattered into crumbs completely!

"How is that possible?" The Third's heart palpitated, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"What did you see, Third?" Hong Ri frowned and asked.

"Big Brother, this person is from the Nine Dragon Tribe, I saw their Clan Leader in action!"

Swallowing hard, the Third gestured with his hands: "A black rock this big, crushed into powder with one palm, even if the seven of us combined, we might not be his match in physical prowess!"

"Ha, you must be joking!" The Fifth said skeptically. After all, Black Rock is known as one of the strongest natural stones in terms of defense; it can't be used for artifact refining, nor is it a type of spiritual ore, it's just purely defensive.

Not to mention Golden Immortal or Heavenly Immortal, unless you've reached Daluo, leaving a clear mark on it would be impossible, which is why Black Rock only appears in those Holy Lands for testing Elder's cultivation.

"Would I joke about something like this?" retorted the Third coldly.

"Alright, the Third doesn't lie!"

The strength of the Nine Dragon Tribe's Clan Leader was beyond Hong Ri's imagination, making him hesitant.

Given his not fully recovered body, if he faced off against that clan leader, he perhaps wouldn't be a match; after sleeping for so many years, he didn't want any accidents.

"By the way, Big Brother, we are in the Sunset Mountain Range, and the Nine Dragon Tribe is the strongest tribe here, but there are many other tribes. Maybe we should head there first!" the Third suggested.

"Alright, Third, lead the way!"

"Fine, then let's go to that Three Lives Tribe; it's three as well, I'd like to see it."

"Okay!"

........

Chen Jiuge was unaware those old antiques from the Tomb of Death also came to this world, particularly landing right in the Sunset Mountain Range.

But even if he knew, Chen Jiuge probably wouldn't care. After all, this isn't the True Realm; those seven old antiques, though strong, would get worn down in this world.

"How do you feel?"

Chen Jiuge asked Ku Tou and Akam.

These two were the earliest to practice the body refining techniques provided by Chen Jiuge. It's been a while now, and Chen Jiuge was eager to know the results.

"It's amazing. I feel that my strength increased by at least thirty percent. If I could fully practice it, it might enhance further, but some parts don't feel quite right for us!" Ku Tou frowned.

"I feel the same way, the spine and heart feel somewhat off, like... like unfulfilled desires!"

Chen Jiuge looked at Akam speechlessly, your choice of words is quite something!

Since the whole Akam Tribe started learning True Realm's language, Akam picked up many phrases, although he wasn't yet good at using them.

"Heart and spine, huh?"

"Let me see!"

Though the divine skills and protections were almost suppressed into nonexistence, the divine sense remained somewhat intact, enough for insight.

"Two hearts, two spines!"
