Chapter 319: Escape (2/2)

The formation master came out of his daze and said.

”The one who made this container is a man of great skills, there are more than thirty formations etched on it. He must be an excellent formation master and an inscription master. He created a large restriction array by stacking each of them on one another. He has an excellent understanding of formations and inscriptions. In the current era, there is almost no one who could do so with etching…”

The faction-head didn't bother to listen to the rest of the words as they are completely related to the trade, which he was not exactly familiar with. He walked out of the room real -quick and went into a secret room, where there were a bunch of scrolls arranged in the racks. He took the scrolls on the topmost rack with a wave of hands and read the details.

He already knew the details in it and so does all the major powers, this is a story of a founder member of the Beast faction, but he is not the founder of the four families, rather the fifth member, the only one who left no descendants, but only a disciple. The greatest genius of the beast faction in that era.

He is a genius in many trades and that includes his research in the study of beasts and their natures, formations, inscriptions, and many others.

The Beast faction is one of the younger six major powers, it was founded a lot later than the first three powers.

Before that, this man, the fifth founder member is a solo cultivator who is extremely famous, he was basically a pioneer in beast studies, in fact, he could be considered as the pioneer of this planet's zoology. He has traveled all over the planet and records about him are present in all the powers as his teachings and theories were never privatized before the establishment of the beast faction.

So, all the factions have a record or two about him in their library and it is not even secret as it mostly related to the basic knowledge of beasts, their favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions, and many other things.

After confirming some facts about him, he was again reassured about the whole container thing and believed it is from their founder.

He went back to the court and he could see that the remaining containers are left untouched, they didn't dare to touch them without his permission. That is his hold over the faction as the faction-head.

He walked smugly as he took this as a stroke to his inflated ego and took his seat and spoke seriously.

”According to our ancestral records, there is a high possibility that this is left behind by our fifth founder member. But we can never be too careful.” He looked at the attendant, and the latter walked forward and picked a container that has a symbol of the tiger typed beast.

He held the container in his hands and closed his eyes, as he gently injected his spiritual energy.

*Click* A gentle click could be heard from the container and they could feel some sort of metallic movement inside. He stopped the spiritual energy flow and the sound of the metallic movement was reduced to a minimum, he could barely feel it through his touch, he couldn't even hear it properly.

He injected the spiritual energy again and the sound increased again. He explained the whole thing to the rest of the people and they became extremely excited.

The Faction-head was also delighted by this news. Since, he could confirm that it was from their founder and if their assumption of the sound being the progress of opening the container, then they could have more than two hundred life-saving arts with the main requirement being patient.

And which cultivator doesn't have patience, it would be developed over time, due to their life spans. Everyone who cultivated for more than the Nascent stage would have their life span increased and they would become extremely laid back and takes the days passing as one of the trivial things.

They would wait for years to learn an art that could save their lives.

The Faction examined all the containers and noticed that there are arts for almost all kinds of beast cultivators in their faction.

Many people are already staring at the containers with greed in their eyes as they searched for the container suitable for them.

The Faction-head cleared his throat and said.

”We will be distributing these to all our core members. They will be given a container based on their merits till now and their rankings. If there are two or more people who are eyeing the same container, then it could be settled with a duel or any fair means agreed by both parties. In three days distribute every last one of them.”

After he gave the instructions, he looked at the whole cluster of the cylinders and his eyes lit up when he saw the one, he needed. He picked it up and went on his way.

”You three, come with me.” Just as he was about to leave the room, he turned around and called three of the five team members.

The three of them followed him instantly and when they reached a secluded corridor, he asked them.

”Now, tell me. Have you dealt with Sam? Did that guy from the thunder god temple give you the information?”

”Sir, we got the location and we chased him, but..”

As he was hesitating, the faction-head grew impatient and looked at him coldly making him speak.
