King of Creation-Chapter 624 - 617 Master Nian

"What’s the matter? Is there something else?"

In the hundredth room of the Spirit Academy, Ye Zhen looked at Feng Qingyue, who had returned, somewhat astonished.

"There’s something I forgot to tell you," Feng Qingyue said.

"What is it?"

"Three days ago, Elder Yangh Yiguan of the Beast Taming Sect appeared in Qinglan Martial City and issued a Heroic Notice. He is inviting six fellow martial artists to dine with him tonight at the largest tavern in Qinglan Martial City, the Moon-viewing Tower. Any martial artist who has dinner with him will have the opportunity to ask him one question!"

"Furthermore, after the dinner, a significant reward will be announced," Feng Qingyue added.

"Who is this Elder Yangh Yiguan of the Beast Taming Sect? What does this have to do with me? The Beast Taming Sect? Could it be...." Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Feng Qingyue with a hint of surprise.

"Your guess is probably not far off. This Elder Yangh Yiguan of the Beast Taming Sect is an authority on controlling demon beasts. In the entire True Spirit Domain, if anyone claims to understand demon beasts the most, it would have to be Yangh Yiguan," Feng Qingyue said.

While speaking, Feng Qingyue added, "The last time I saw that little one called Kitten, didn’t you mention you would do everything possible to help it break through the Bloodline Shackles and asked me to keep an eye out for you?

However, the Bloodline Shackles of a demon beast cannot be broken easily! If there truly is a way to break through, then in the True Spirit Domain, there is only one person who would know, and that is Elder Yangh Yiguan of the Beast Taming Sect."

Ye Zhen felt silently moved once again. He hadn’t expected that Feng Qingyue would remember a passing remark he had made.

"Is an elder of the Beast Taming Sect really that impressive? Don’t even the Sect Leaders of the Beast Taming Sect compare to him?" Ye Zhen asked casually.

Feng Qingyue let out a soft sigh, "Where is there a Sect Leader in the Beast Taming Sect? Almost a hundred years ago, the Beast Taming Sect was destroyed, nearly ten thousand people from top to bottom died, with only Elder Yangh Yiguan surviving. Since then, the quality of the demon beasts that martial artists in the True Spirit Domain control has dropped significantly."

"Sect destruction?"

Ye Zhen inhaled sharply, "What happened?" freёwebnoѵel.com

Feng Qingyue slowly shook her head, "No one knows, it’s like a mystery! A hundred years ago, the Beast Taming Sect was also quite powerful, ranking about tenth among all the sects in the entire True Spirit Domain, probably not much different from the present-day Divine Sect.

It is said that at that time, the Beast Taming Sect had as many as ten Heavenly Level High Grade demon beasts, equivalent to ten martial artists at the eighth and ninth stage of the Vein Forging Realm. Yet even so, they were wiped out overnight.

The Beast Taming Sect massacre is the number one unsolved case in the True Spirit Domain, with no clues for a hundred years! However, this Elder Yangh does have true ability. Ever since he helped the Sect Master of the Profound Moon Sect advance his Glazed Golden Light Mink from Heavenly Level Middle Grade to Heavenly Level High Grade thirty years ago, he has become quite famous. Wherever he appears, those seeking his guidance swarm to him."

"How can I have dinner with this Elder Yangh?" The sole surviving elder of the Beast Taming Sect, with experience in advancing a Heavenly Level Middle Grade demon beast to the Heavenly Level High Grade, no matter how you look at it, Elder Yangh is the wise man that Ye Zhen is seeking.

It was also an opportunity for the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

Even if he couldn’t immediately help Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to advance, at the very least, he should be able to point Ye Zhen in the right direction, to strive towards.

"I’m not exactly sure; you’ll find out when you get there! However, it won’t be easy. Each time Elder Yangh issues a Heroic Notice, he attracts thousands of people in the shortest time. Then, from these thousands, he selects six to join him for dinner and to ask questions. So think about it, it’s not an easy task," Feng Qingyue said, "However, you might as well try."

"Together?" Ye Zhen invited.

"I can’t accompany you; the first requirement to step into the Moon-viewing Tower is that one must possess a demon servant," Feng Qingyue said with some regret.

"There’s such a requirement?" Ye Zhen was astonished.

"Just give it a try. Your Kitten, which you raised from a cub with a Blood Sacrifice, is extraordinary; who knows, maybe you could earn the qualification to join the dinner?" Feng Qingyue suggested.

....

The Heroic Notice stated that the time for the dinner hosted by Elder Yangh Yiguan of the Beast Taming Sect was at the hour of You, when the sun sets.

Ye Zhen thought there might be a crowd, so he set off more than an hour early to the place indicated on Yangh Yiguan’s Heroic Notice—the largest and tallest tavern in Qinglan Martial City, the Moon-viewing Tower.

But upon arriving, Ye Zhen was shocked to find that even though he had come more than an hour early, it was still too late. Martial artists from all directions had already crowded around the Moon-viewing Tower, both in the sky and on the ground, forming a blockade that was completely impassable. At a casual glance, there seemed to be several thousands of people.

However, of the thousands gathered, the majority were just onlookers or ineligible.

A long line extended from the front of the Moon-viewing Tower, winding around it in three huge circles. Given the vast area that the Moon-viewing Tower covered, one round was nearly twenty miles long. After what seemed like sixty to seventy miles of queuing, the line wearily snaked away into the distance.

They say the queue stretched for six or seven miles, but in actuality, there weren’t that many people. There were only about two hundred or so, each on their demon servants leaving a considerable gap between each other in line. Of course, this does not include those who had already been eliminated earlier.

Ye Zhen casually inquired and learned that this selection process through queuing had begun two hours earlier. Only martial artists who passed the initial selection by the Beast Taming Sect elder, Yangh Yiguan, could enter the first floor hall of the Moon-viewing Tower and compete for one of the six available opportunities to have dinner with Master Yangh.

However, even the preliminary selection was incredibly strict. Out of a hundred people, only four or five would be chosen.

It is said that from the selection process starting two hours ago until now, no more than ten people qualified to step into the first floor hall of the Moon-viewing Tower.

According to the requirements of Master Yangh’s disciples, only those with demon servants could queue up and participate in the preliminary selection.

However, Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised that so many martial artists were queuing up honestly, and the reason was quite simple: a statement made by Master Yangh.

All martial artists present addressed the Beast Taming Sect elder, Yangh Yiguan, as Master Yangh, whether they were from the Soul Sea Realm or the Vein Forging Realm, displaying extraordinary respect in their demeanor.

The martial artists who were usually aggressive had queued up properly, all because Master Yangh had stated, any troublemakers would be immediately disqualified without entering the selection process.

Having asked around, Ye Zhen followed suit, moved to one side, summoned the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, and then rode it in broad daylight to join the queue.

You don’t realize it until you queue up, but it is startling once you do.

Looking ahead, Ye Zhen discovered that his Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was at the very bottom of the hierarchy.

The demon beasts of the martial artists queuing ahead were mostly Heavenly Level Lower Grade, and there were even Heavenly Level Middle Grade demon beasts. In terms of Cultivation, the demon servants of the martial artists in the Vein Forging Realm were at the very least Heavenly Level Demon Beasts, and although few, the demon servants of the Soul Sea Realm martial artists present were also of Heavenly Level.

But Ye Zhen was not surprised at all; this was quite normal.

In the True Spirit Domain, due to the dense concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, demon beasts were abundant. Even an ordinary Soul Sea Realm martial artist who wanted to capture a demon beast for a servant would call on friends or even spend a lot of money to hire a few powerful people to venture deep into the mountains to capture a Heavenly Level Demon Beast, and then use Beast-Control Secret Arts to subdue it as a servant.

Under such circumstances, the presence of Ye Zhen riding the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten here was quite conspicuously out-of-place, especially after a few more people queued up behind, making the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, both in terms of size and aura, quite noticeable compared to the demon beasts ahead and behind.

"Hey, brother, are you seriously trying to compete for Master Nian’s dinner opportunity with this demon servant? That’s a bit too miserable," said a middle-aged martial artist who had just lined up behind Ye Zhen, staring at the Cloud Winged Tiger King under Ye Zhen in astonishment.

"Even if you’re just putting on appearances, you should at least get a Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beast, right? No matter how poor you are, you won’t be missing two hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, right? Brother here has a connection; for two hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, you can hire two martial artists at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, and they’ll get you a Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beast in half a day. Do you want it?"

"Thank you, but no need," Ye Zhen replied politely.

The commotion here naturally caught the attention of many onlookers. Those of average perception merely laughed at Ye Zhen, while those with keen insight were secretly astonished.

There was nothing out of the ordinary. The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten between Ye Zhen’s legs was too calm.

A demon beast at the Upper-grade Earth Level, surrounded by Heavenly Level demon beasts with none of them showing signs of fear, was still looking full of vitality and looking around confidently. This was abnormal in itself.

The bloodline hierarchy among demon beasts is very strict. Normally, an Upper-grade Earth Level demon beast seeing a Heavenly Level Lower Grade one, although not necessarily prostrating itself, would typically tremble in fear since there is a full Grand Realm difference between them.

Yet the Cloud Winged Tiger King showed no such behavior, and what was even more surprising to the observant was that several kilometers ahead, one individual was riding a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Fire Cloud Divine Camel.

A Heavenly Level Middle Grade demon beast has a direct hierarchy suppression over those of the Lower Grade, so within a thousand meters of that Fire Cloud Divine Camel, the space was empty, with no Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beast daring to get within a kilometer of it.

Even separated by a mile, the dozen or so Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beasts close in front and behind preemptively tucked their tails and lowered their heads, including the Ice Departure Eagle ridden by the middle-aged martial artist behind Ye Zhen all displayed a cautious demeanor.

Only Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger King seemed unaffected by the hierarchy pressure emanating from the Fire Cloud Divine Camel.

Perhaps bored with the wait, the long-faced martial artist in front of Ye Zhen, hearing the commotion behind, also turned his head to look back and scoffed after a glance.

"In this day and age, there are so many fools dreaming of the impossible. So many Heavenly Level Lower Grade demon beasts up ahead have been eliminated, and even those of the Middle Grade have been rejected, yet you bring an Upper-grade Earth Level demon beast to join in the commotion?"

This was a long-faced martial artist at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, whose appearance and remarks were equally harsh.

Ye Zhen gave the long-faced martial artist a cold look and said nothing.

Feeling the stare from Ye Zhen, the long-faced martial artist immediately became irritated, "What, you don’t agree?" (To be continued.
