King of Creation-Chapter 707 - 698: Worshiping the Gods Again
Chapter 707: Chapter 698: Worshiping the Gods Again
"That’s basically it! Ten years ago, I discovered the location of Ten Thousand Beast Valley, and I also found a lot of information about it. If there’s another place in the world that has the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, then it must be Ten Thousand Beast Valley!" As he said this, Elder Yangh sighed deeply.
"For the past ten years, I’ve personally ventured into Ten Thousand Beast Valley several times, but I’ve never found a way in. This time, to make the deal with you and to fulfill the bounty I’ve issued, I risked my life to explore Ten Thousand Beast Valley. Though I found something, I also suffered heavy losses among my disciples, alas..." While speaking, Elder Yangh even shed a few tears!
"The main reason I must cooperate with Young Hero Ye is because your demon servant, the Cloud Winged Tiger King, has the ability to shrink its body, which will allow us to pass through a key checkpoint to enter Ten Thousand Beast Valley."
At this point, Elder Yangh’s gaze became firm, "I won’t lie to Young Hero Ye, if you don’t join us this time, I’ll have no choice but to give up on exploring Ten Thousand Beast Valley."
"Of course, this is definitely not a threat!"
Seeing the changes in Ye Zhen’s expression, Elder Yangh quickly explained, "Young Hero Ye, please don’t misunderstand. In front of that checkpoint, I’ve lost three disciples without being able to open it. However, based on my observations, a small-sized and well-controlled demon beast should be able to open it more easily.
If Young Hero Ye is unwilling to cooperate, I’ll have to find and raise a very small demon beast cub until it grows and becomes capable. Only then can I attempt to brave Ten Thousand Beast Valley again!
Even if the intelligence in your hands is very important, I can only wait. But if I have to wait another ten years... I can wait that long..."
Elder Yangh said this, but Ye Zhen couldn’t remain calm.
Elder Yangh might be able to wait more than ten years, and Ye Zhen could wait too, but the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten couldn’t wait that long.
In the next ten years, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation might advance by leaps and bounds, but Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten would be stuck in place. If that continued for another decade, Ye Zhen reckoned that Kitten would go mad.
"Elder Yangh, you’ve made it so plain, how could I refuse? You say it’s not a threat, but it’s even more effective than one!" Ye Zhen sighed.
Elder Yangh’s old face turned red, admittedly he had been quite shrewd.
He could wait for ten years, but he couldn’t truly afford to wait that long!
A lifetime’s hard work was right in front of him; how could he just wait patiently?
Ten Thousand Beast Valley was the land of revival for the Beast Taming Sect. If he succeeded in entering it, he might be able to build a new Beast Taming Sect out of thin air.
"Young Hero Ye, I am truly out of options! All the Talisman Methods to enter Ten Thousand Beast Valley have been lost. I promise you, if we find the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill inside Ten Thousand Beast Valley, I will give it to you immediately! If not, I will also give you the Pill Formula for it. In any case, I won’t let you down!" Elder Yangh said.
"Alright, what exactly is this cooperation about?" Ye Zhen inquired.
"To brave Ten Thousand Beast Valley, having too few people won’t do, nor will having low Cultivation. For example, several of my disciples at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm died tragically soon after entering!
However, having too many people isn’t good either. In my opinion, we should invite a few trustworthy experts to explore Ten Thousand Beast Valley. Including myself and my disciples, the total number should be around seven people," Elder Yangh explained.
"Around seven people? Is there an Establishment King present?" Ye Zhen asked deliberately.
"An Establishment King?" Elder Yangh laughed bitterly, "I don’t have those connections!"
This answer made Ye Zhen much more relieved. If there had been an Establishment King with them, he wouldn’t have dared to go.
"How many people have you contacted thus far, and when do we leave?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Including Young Hero Ye, that makes seven. As for departure, if you have no issue with the time, we can leave in five days!"
"I’ve been seriously injured and have only recently begun to recover my Primordial Energy. I’ll need another four or five days before I can fully recover," Elder Yangh explained.
"So we are already seven people?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhen held up a finger towards Elder Yangh, "I need to bring one more person with me!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Yangh immediately looked troubled, "Young Hero Ye, eight people might be too many, and the person you want to bring... surely isn’t familiar with the rest of us..."
"The people Elder Yangh wants to bring are also strangers to me!" The straightforward words from Ye Zhen made Elder Yangh’s face freeze.
Ye Zhen had made himself clear; if Elder Yangh still objected, it would suggest he had ulterior motives.
All the martial artists accompanying them on the trip were acquaintances of Elder Yangh. Ye Zhen really didn’t feel safe going, not having anyone reliable by his side in times of crisis, even his back would be unsafe during rest at night.
Naturally, Ye Zhen had to bring a friend to feel at ease.
"Alright, but you can only bring one! Moreover, the Cultivation can’t be too low, they must be at least at the Vein Forging Realm, preferably at the Third or Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm. Moreover, Cultivation that’s too high won’t get into Ten Thousand Beast Valley either, like... an Establishment King..."
This statement revealed Elder Yangh’s nervousness. He also feared an Establishment King accompanying them. If an Establishment King really came along, he might end up working for someone else’s benefit.
"Then, let’s settle on that, we’ll depart in five days..."
"Let’s postpone the departure by a day, make it six days from now!" Ye Zhen abruptly cut off Elder Yangh’s words.
"How about this, Young Hero Ye, since we’re all from different regions, and everyone needs five to ten days to reach the destination, let’s not gather together to leave! We’ll meet directly at the location!" Elder Yangh proposed.
While speaking, Elder Yangh handed Ye Zhen a Jade Talisman, "We’ll meet here in half a month!"
....
"Qingyue, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with, if you are available..." Ye Zhen had few friends in the True Spirit Domain, just a handful he was close to.
Feng Qingyue, Tian Guizhang, Chen Changxing, Zuo Xiong, and others. The most suitable candidate was, undoubtedly, Feng Qingyue.
"When are we leaving?"
Before Ye Zhen had finished speaking, Feng Qingyue gave a straightforward answer, which took Ye Zhen by surprise.
"Qingyue, you’re not going to ask what’s involved? How dangerous it is? Where we’re going?"
Hearing this, Feng Qingyue propped her delicate chin and pondered, "I suppose you wouldn’t sell me out, right?"
"Uh... how could I bear to!"
Feng Qingyue’s fair face instantly flushed with a layer of red, and amidst her embarrassment, she bravely looked up at Ye Zhen, "Who knows? That’s why I have to try, following you is the best choice!"
"I’ve heard that some barbarian tribes especially like beauties with fair skin and big eyes..." Ye Zhen said deliberately to tease her, and Feng Qingyue’s almond eyes immediately glared, "You wouldn’t dare!" Her unpowered fist pounded on Ye Zhen’s body, but the more she pounded, the softer her blows became.
Ye Zhen caught her fair wrist in his mouth, gave it a gentle tug, and drew Feng Qingyue into his embrace. With her heart racing, Feng Qingyue looked at Ye Zhen nervously.
Looking at Feng Qingyue’s blushing cheeks and plump red lips, Ye Zhen’s heart swayed and he kissed her passionately.
Umm...
Feng Qingyue struggled briefly but her body went limp and she fell into Ye Zhen’s arms.
Ye Zhen’s hand began to wander restlessly over Feng Qingyue’s delicate body, which grew hotter and softer. Suddenly, feeling a chill on her back, Feng Qingyue realized that Ye Zhen’s right hand had lifted the hem of her dress and grasped her slender waist.
"Ah..."
The direct touch of Ye Zhen’s hand caused Feng Qingyue’s delicate body to tremble abruptly, and she cried out in shock. Then, mustering an unknown strength, she struggled free from Ye Zhen’s embrace.
"You bully, you’re so bad..."
Leaving behind these words, Feng Qingyue’s figure flashed and quickly disappeared, yet as she vanished, her delicate body was still trembling slightly.
Ye Zhen gave a somewhat frustrated sigh.
Only by repeatedly circulating the mental method of the Sword Manual of Extinction could he suppress the flame ignited by Feng Qingyue’s delicate body.
There was no helping it; martial artists are naturally vigorous in blood qi, and Ye Zhen was at an age where his blood qi was particularly strong, so he was easily ignited!
After a while, Ye Zhen received another Talisman Communication from Feng Qingyue.
"Come get me when you’re ready to leave..."
Ye Zhen had assumed that Feng Qingyue might be angry with him because of his forwardness, but seeing this Talisman Communication, he knew she wasn’t angry at all; probably just very nervous from their first intimate contact.
...
It was the sixth day since Ye Zhen’s return to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and that day was the first of September!
The first day of each month is the day of worship in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
This was also the reason why Ye Zhen had asked Yang Yiguan to delay the departure by one day.
More than two months ago, during his first time attending the worship within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Ye Zhen witnessed an anomaly when paying homage to the supposed image of the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch.
The Mirage Dragon Pearl nearly left his body, and at that moment, the remnant Third Stage Spatial Seal within the pearl also shattered.
Moreover, based on the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s reaction to the first sighting of the image’s eyes, Ye Zhen understood that there was definitely a special relationship between the Mirage Dragon Pearl and the image of the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch.
This time, coinciding with another day of worship, Ye Zhen was prepared to participate in worshiping and studying again.
With the experience from last time, Ye Zhen would be much more cautious and careful.
Early in the morning on the first of September, while it was still pitch dark, Ye Zhen got up and headed to the Divine Altar.
Just as he stepped out the door, he encountered Feng Qingyue, which brightened his mood.
The moment Feng Qingyue saw Ye Zhen, her pretty face blushed again. The events of that day were vivid in her memory; even now her body felt a bit weak when she thought of it.
Ye Zhen understood that Feng Qingyue had probably come to call him.
"Qingyue, after the worship today, we’ll set off!" While speaking, Ye Zhen reached out and took Feng Qingyue’s hand.
Essentially, all the higher-ups within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect wouldn’t miss any worship sessions. Apart from the potential benefits of the worship, just the opportunity to see the Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong each month was worth it for many.
Unexpectedly, Head of the Inner Affairs Hall Zhu Ling, who would normally never miss a worship session, didn’t show up this time.
Many within the Divine Sect knew that Zhu Ling was frantically dealing with a bunch of troublesome matters at Qingshui Pier.
Yet, no one knew that all of Zhu Ling’s troubles were caused by Ye Zhen!
Once again, the air in front of the divine statue vibrated silently, and Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s figure squeezed out of the void.
"The time is upon us, prepare for the worship!" Grand Commander Jio Yuanxiu’s voice rang out for the commencement.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
