Chapter 1466 - Sky Castle (1) (2/2)
”Yea. Remember when the Masked Wife Stealer had that confrontation with the Magic Swordsman? Weren't his beast companions also a turtle, an ape, a tiger and a deer? That's a little bit too much of a coincidence, no?”
The young man's five companions paused in thought, but eventually a black robed young woman shook her head no.
”That was only three years ago, how can a beast grow so fast? They're already celestials when back then, they hadn't even begun cultivating. Plus, these are transcendent grade beasts while those from then were mere earth grade beasts – my master said so himself.”
Hearing this, the young men and women nodded in acknowledgement. After all, this young woman was a disciple in-name of the Beast Master Guild Head. How could the best beast tamer of their quadrants be wrong about something so simple?
”You don't think that maybe it has something to do with their white fur? Maybe someone perfected that evil technique. Wait, wasn't True God Sacharro from the Celestial Deer Quadrant? They can't be celestial beasts, could they?!”
”Ah…” The young woman had been planning on refuting because the first half of the young man's statement was pure stupidity. But, the second half caused her words to catch in her throat.
Eventually, she frowned in thought and shook her head once more. ”Celestial beasts are of the supreme grade at worst. Plus, they've gone extinct… As far as we know, only the celestial deer survived and was tied to the Celestial Deer Sect – thus their name. Maybe these are a branch sub-species caused by true celestial beasts mating with a lesser race? Or maybe the Celestial Deer Quadrant was able to use celestial beast blood they had collected to mutate these beasts?” The young woman's eyes flashed. ”Either way… They're very valuable.”
A quiet-until-now young man shook his head at the greed that lit the eyes of his companions. ”Do remember that these are the beast companions of a True God? If you all want to die, do it without me.
”And, you'd do well to remember that no one understands his own connection to the Celestial Deer Quadrant than True God Sacharro himself. If he didn't care to flaunt these beasts before you all, do you think he's worried about your measly greed?”
The guild disciples froze at these words. True God Sacharro had obviously sent his beasts here to train, who's to say he wasn't monitoring them right now? Could any beast master stand to lose such an exceptional beast? Even the young lady's own master only had a single transcendent grade beast companion, and it was of the lower transcendent grade!
Still, her master cherished that beast and poured all of his resources into it. If a lower transcendent grade beast was worth this much, what would these peak transcendent grade beasts be worth?
”Let's go.” The quiet young man turned to leave. They had come to the Demonic Gorge by deciphering ancient texts, but clearly there was nothing here for them to partake in. It was too dangerous.
In this distance, Dyon who had been listening to this conversation using the arrays he placed on his beast companions sneered.
”Good choice.”
