Chapter 320: Lingbao 320
Nascent Soul stage Monster Beasts!
Two – no, three of them!
Just who exactly is this person?
Murong felt a chill crawling on his scalp when he saw “Daoist Huangmu” being killed by the young man with a single slash.
The young man turned a cold gaze towards him, sending shivers down his spine, he could not help but swallow hard. “I…I mean no…no offence. I beg for mercy… in return, I am willing to… to surrender… the ancient immortal’s remaining mansion to you.”
This plea, was close to begging for his life.
In the Yellow Spring Cave, any hot-blooded cultivator would have been long dead. The only ones left alive are adaptable individuals who could easily shed their dignity and reputation, just for the sake of survival.
Gu Yang effortlessly caught Luo Kun’s sword, the Frost Frost edging was hardly a challenge.
The spirit contained within this peerless divine weapon was on the verge of disintegration.
He put the weapon away, he observed the cultivator with horns growing on his forehead, and asked, “Who are you?”
Murong answered honestly, “My name is Murong Jie, from the Four-Heavens Alliance.”
Four-Heavens Alliance?
Gu Yang hadn’t heard of it, “How do you know him?”
“To be honest, I am one of the eight representatives of the Four-Heavens Alliance, specifically in charge of exchanging information with peripheral powers. I’ve known Daoist Huangmu for over a hundred years.”
“Tell me about the Four-Heavens Alliance.”
…
While the two were chatting, strange creatures and blood bats occasionally approached them but were easily killed by Gu Yang.
He would release the blood bat pet whenever he encountered one, using the Union technique to indirectly control them.
Blood bats are quite interesting creatures. After forming a Union, the strongest blood bat would lead, and the weaker ones willingly serve and follow commands.
It’s worth noting that the relationship between a Beastmaster and his beast is symbiotic. Not only can the Beastmaster borrow the power of the beast, but the beast can also borrow the Beastmaster’s power.
If Gu Yang lent his power to the blood bat beast, it could subdue other blood bats, gather them, and even incorporate them into the Beast-taming Space.
This means, after the Union, they become one.
After listening to Murong Jie’s introduction, Gu Yang finally understood what the Four-Heavens Alliance was.
It was the last bastion of the human race. After the fall of the sun, several major sects fell one after the other. Only the final super sect remained, standing as a beacon of hope.
Thereafter, the surviving cultivators all joined that sect and collectively resisted the apocalypse. Then they established the Four-Heavens Alliance. The alliance represented the four most powerful sects in the world.
Even though humanity continued to fall back, as long as the Four-Heavens Alliance still stood, there still was hope for the human race.
In addition to self-preservation, the Four-Heavens Alliance actively reached out to other human settlements, sharing information. Envoys like Murong Jie were responsible for field operations.
After listening to all of this, Gu Yang put away his blade and said, “You may leave now.”
Murong Jie was taken aback at first, then quickly thanked him with a bow, “Thank you.”
He then turned and flew away, his ruler bobbing above his head.
He left without hesitation, not even glancing back at the cave mansion. Murong Jie knew, better than anyone, only by staying alive, could he have everything. Otherwise, even the best luck would be useless.
Those who couldn’t see this truth, like “Daoist Huangmu” who had just been overcome by greed, were now dead.
Even with numerous opportunities in a cave mansion, it was useless without life.
…
After Murong Jie left, Gu Yang looked at the constantly spewing Spirit Qi from the cave mansion. Instead of rushing in, he decided to open the System.
This world was already this broken, yet this mansion remained intact. Surely, it was no ordinary place.
Just to be safe, let’s run a simulation.
[…You enter an ancient immortal mansion and trigger a spirit treasure inside. You’re beheaded with a single sword stroke. Age at death, twenty-two.]
Good Lord!
There’s actually a complete spirit treasure inside that can kill him with a single stroke. That killing power far surpasses the Unleaking Realm.
Lucky he didn’t rush in, otherwise it would have cost him his life.
Gu Yang glanced inside and saw a shadowy figure continuously invading the cave mansion. In just a short time, the shadow had invaded about ten meters.
He turned away and promptly left.
Not long after his departure, he encountered a group of blood bats. He released the blood bat beast and gathered them all.
Proceeding in this way, he made his way deeper into the cave, killing and collecting as he went.
The deeper he went, the fewer blood bats and odd creatures he encountered.
After a few hours, the number of blood bats Gu Yang’s beast had gathered exceeded one hundred. After forming a Union, their combined Mana power was staggering.
Boom!
Suddenly, an astounding aura burst forth.
He turned around and sensed that the source of the energy was right at the cave dwelling’s location.
