novelHelp-seeking Paper Crane
| ← Ch.0795 | Ch.0797 → |
Towering mountains undulated and stretched across kilometers. The secrets of numerous living beings and nature were hidden inside.
Amidst the endless mountains, valiant auras could be found everywhere. Whether it was human powerhouses or spirit beasts, the density was so concentrated that it was frightening.
This was where the Beast King Sect—one of the Humans' Nine Great Sects—was situated in Danzhou.
At this moment, Yuqi the Venerable One, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One, and Master Kurong were sitting with their legs crossed in a pavilion on the highest peak. They were enjoying tea while they conversed.
In terms of cultivation base, Master Kurong and the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One were unquestionably superior to Yuqi the Venerable One. They surpassed him not only because of their cultivation bases, but also due to how much they comprehended and how they applied martial arts and the universe's law.
In particular, when Master Kurong was at a moment of life or death and faced his greatest fear, he finally found his path.
Under normal circumstances, even if he found the part, he would still die helplessly because he was already near the end and was about to be depleted of Qi and blood. Nonetheless, the master managed to incite his potential because of the Eternal Pill, and he gained a bright future since.
Master Kurong had described his experience in detail to Yuqi the Venerable One and the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One. Although they could not copy it exactly, it would be a good reference for them.
When Master Kurong was done, Yuqi the Venerable One and the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One fell silent at the same time.
On one hand, Yuqi the Venerable One was still a distance away from taking that step. He was deeply in awe, but he was still separated from that stage. On the other hand, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One furrowed its eyebrows and kept calculating in its head. This was an experience that could not be easily described; unless one was feeling the same thing, one would not be able to put it into words.
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One finally opened its eyes after a long time and sighed."Thank you, Master Kurong."
Master Kurong waved his hand amiably and chuckled."10, 000 Beasts, you don't need to be so polite. If you're able to take that step too, Danzhou's situation will surely change drastically."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One's eyes flickered."Master Kurong, did you do your best to guide me because of this?"
Finding one's path would not be as shocking as taking that step, but it would be the foundation of everything.
The beginning was always difficult—if one could not find one's target, everything would be fake. Therefore, it was unimaginable that Master Kurong was willing to share his experience.
Given the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One's strength and experiences, it could naturally distinguish truth from false, which was why it was puzzled about the reason Master Kurong was being so agreeable.
If it was in his shoes, it did not think that it would be so generous.
Master Kurong laughed."10, 000 Beasts, you inherited the 10, 000 Beasts Ridge's line and is also closely connected to the Beast King Sect, which is like family to you. In that case, I'm sure you're familiar with the structure of the different prefectures in the Spiritual Realm."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One raised its eyebrows and responded proudly, "When I advanced into a Venerable One, I went far away from Danzhou and explored everywhere in the Spiritual Realm. Hehe, I dare not say that I know this realm inside out, but I roughly know it well."
It was an important tradition for every newly-advanced Venerable One from the 10, 000 Beasts Ridge to go on an adventure in the realm. Not only the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One, but the old macaque was also not an exception back then. Besides, if Multi-armed King Kong eventually became a Venerable One too, it would need to take up the inherited tradition.
Master Kurong nodded and asked, "Alright, let me ask you—how's the prestige of a Venerable One from Danzhou?"
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One's face darkened as it answered, "Nothing much."
Yuqi the Venerable One frowned. He could naturally tell that it was a forceful answer from 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One. It was evident that the prestige of a Venerable One from Danzhou was worse than nothing much.
Master Kurong sighed."In actuality, Danzhou's reputation is so bad because of Venerable Ones like us."
Yuqi the Venerable One questioned in a deep voice, "Master Kurong, is there something that we're lacking in?"ƒ𝔯e𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝓃oѵℯl - 🅽🅽novel
"Yes, we're lacking very much." Master Kurong nodded and stressed, "It has been over 10, 000 years since someone from Danzhou took that step." He sneered and continued, "Putting aside the further prefectures, let's just talk about Zhangzhou—our neighbor. I suppose that you still remember... Their last person that went beyond this realm."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One and Yuqi the Venerable One looked at each other. They were embarrassed.
In terms of the number of Venerable Ones and their strengths alone, Danzhou was not much inferior to Zhangzhou. Nevertheless, Danzhou clearly lacked a lot in terms of that top-notch power. Even though that powerhouse from Zhangzhou had gone beyond this realm, his mightiness remained as it had not been 3 centuries since, hence nobody dared to talk about him.
Master Kurong glanced at the 2 Venerable Ones and noted, "As far as I know, that being left a clone in Zhangzhou before leaving."
"A clone? That's impossible!" Yuqi the Venerable One's face changed."Leaving a clone here? Isn't he afraid of Heaven's wrath?"
"Hehe, Yuqi, you misunderstood." Master Kurong stroked his beard and explained, "The clone's only equivalent to a top-notch Venerable One."
Yuqi the Venerable One was relieved. If the clone was only a top-notch Venerable One, Danzhou would not need to worry too much.
The Beast King Sect did not have such a powerhouse, but the 2 figures in front of him at the moment were of that level.
Even so, Master Kurong shook his head again."Yuqi, the clone's only a top-grade Venerable One, but he can't be resisted by equal-ranked powerhouses."
Yuqi the Venerable One and the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One tensed up at the same time. The latter even asked, "Why?"
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One was a legitimate top-grade Venerable One, and it was extremely confident about its strength. Master Kurong might have found his path, but as long as he had not taken the step, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One believed that it could resist him.
Due to the natural advantage of its race, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One had always been an invincible being among its peers.
Needless to say, it also ultimately depended on who it was compared to. If it was compared to a legendary dragon or phoenix, it would turn around and flee right away.
If the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One was faced with the powerhouse from Zhangzhou that went beyond this realm, it would not stand a chance at all, but if it was up against a mere equal-ranked clone... Unknowingly, its emulation was stimulated.
Master Kurong sighed."10, 000 Beasts, in terms of power alone, he might be inferior to you, but don't forget that his combat awareness belongs to that being."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One was stunned for some time, and it asked bitterly, "That's only a clone, so how can it have the main body's combat awareness?"
Master Kurong looked deeply at it and answered, "We haven't taken that step yet, so we don't know how colorful the world is like after that. Perhaps one will have the solution to that problem after taking that step."
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One kept quiet, but a luster could be seen in its eyes.
Yuqi the Venerable One suddenly asked, "Master Kurong, why do you know this so well?"
Master Kurong looked like he was thinking of the past as he answered, "I've met him once and had a fight with him."
The eyes of the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One and Yuqi the Venerable One lit up at this moment. They were certain that they had not heard of similar news before this. In fact, if Master Kurong was not the one that brought this up, they would not have bought it.
Master Kurong shut his eyes and expressed, "That fight made me understand that there's always someone better out there, and it prompted me to curb my thoughts and begin to start the crucial moment. Hehe, I couldn't have found my path without that fight."
The 2 other Venerable Ones looked at each other. The same thought crossed their minds.
'No wonder this old fella wasn't furious when Yu Xiuming failed. Instead, he was somewhat delighted.
'It turns out that he had a similar experience and benefited greatly from it. '
Master Kurong opened his eyes and looked at a certain mountain half-intentionally."10, 000 Beasts, your precious son's cultivation base is superb. Since it's going to face the Heavenly Thunderbolts soon, would you like me to lend it a helping hand?"
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One replied to him calmly, "Thank you for your good intention, Master, but I've prepared everything necessary, so I don't need to trouble you."
Yuqi the Venerable One nodded as well. Other than powerhouses from the Beast King Sect, other people would not be permitted to watch the moment Multi-armed King Kong faced the Heavenly Thunderbolts. In particular, the news about the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit must not be exposed.
Master Kurong nodded and looked meaningfully at them, causing them to have goosebumps.
'Did this old fella hear about anything? But that's impossible. '
Just as they were keeping quiet, a light flashed in the void. A paper crane pierced through the air and floated in front of them.
At this moment, even Master Kurong, who was not mindful of anything, was taken aback for a second too.
"10, 000 Beasts, Kurong, Yuqi, Blood Shadow and a white-robed man attacked us halfway. After taking me down, they're now pursuing Master Ou. Quickly come! Quickly come!"
The old macaque's hurried voice and its coughs were heard coming from the paper crane.
Upon hearing this, the 3 Venerable Ones' faces changed. Fearsome yet indescribable auras were released from their bodies.
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One reached out to grab the paper crane, then it uttered, "Let's go!"
It cultivated the same techniques as the old macaque, thus it could control paper cranes. It and Yuqi the Venerable One were very regretful at the moment; if they had not made Master Kurong stay, Ou Yangming would not have suffered the misfortune!
Without further ado, the Venerable Ones swayed and rose into the sky. They transformed into 3 shooting stars as they zoomed into the distance.
When Yuqi the Venerable One soared into the sky, he even waved his sleeve, causing a light to fall from mid-air. The instant the light fell to the ground, a massive white light appeared above the mountain range and turned into a protective shield that shrouded the whole sect.
Since someone dared to sneak an attack on the old macaque, would the Beast King Sect be in danger too?
As Yuqi the Venerable One left, he also conveniently activated the Big Mountain-guarding Formation. With that, even if a Venerable One came, the powerhouse would not be able to shake the formation within a short period.
Inside the mountain range, numerous people looked up then exchanged glances as they did not know what was going on.
However, they all had ominous feelings about this.
