King of Creation-Chapter 742 - 732: Cooperation between Beast Taming Sect and Demon Race?
Chapter 742: Chapter 732: Cooperation between Beast Taming Sect and Demon Race?
In fact, when Ye Zhen had first gotten his hands on the Puppet Spirit Record, his Divine Sense had already skimmed through it once, gaining a rough understanding.
Indeed, as Hu Qingtong had said, according to the secret techniques recorded in this Puppet Spirit Record, one could not only enslave Demon Beasts but also human Martial Artists. Any creature under the sky possessing a Divine Soul could be enslaved.
The difference was that the requirements for enslaving various creatures differed; for instance, there were several methods to enslave human Martial Artists, but each method had stringent conditions.
Beyond that, the Puppet Spirit Record also detailed various secret techniques for refining Demon Beast Puppets.
What surprised Ye Zhen the most was that although he had only glanced at it, he still received a piece of information— the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Puppet that Ye Zhen had acquired could be repaired, as long as the Spirit-Sealing Puppet Orb was still intact.
All these made Ye Zhen realize the immense value of this Puppet Spirit Record.
As Hu Qingtong had said, even though he had sworn a Divine Soul Oath, the Puppet Spirit Record still retained its value.
However, what Ye Zhen could not accept was the restriction imposed by Hu Qingtong that forbade him from taking action against the Demon Race, allowing its use only on the Human Clan.
Just then, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King offered compensation, and Ye Zhen had an extremely bold idea.
However, this idea was somewhat dangerous; once proposed, it was very likely to enrage the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
Although the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King kept calling Ye Zhen a brother, whether he truly regarded him as one was still a matter of question, and Ye Zhen was not so naive.
"Indeed, brother, it is my fault as an elder brother for not keeping my promise. Tell me what you want as compensation, just speak, and as long as I can do it, there will be no second words!" the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King promised.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s eyes spun around and finally landed on the barely alive elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Yangh Yiguan, "Elder Monkey King, how do you plan to deal with this old man?"
"Him?"
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King snorted coldly, "He is the only remnant of the Beast Taming Sect, and this king hasn’t finished venting my anger yet. Naturally, I must keep him well, and when I feel like it, I’ll have some fun with him to vent my anger, letting him experience a fate worse than death would be letting him off lightly!"
In a corner, the dying Yangh Yiguan suddenly shivered, his expression quickly becoming utterly despondent, a hint of death Qi clouding his eyes as a very weak Spiritual Power Wave radiated from his body!
Almost simultaneously, the left arm of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King swelled like lightning, swiftly tapping several points on Yangh Yiguan’s body, "Thinking of severing your heart channels to kill yourself, dream on!
Before I have finished venting my anger, death is an absolute luxury for you!"
Hearing this, Yangh Yiguan completely despaired, his eyes and face filled with fear!
Falling into the hands of this group of Demon Beasts, his fate was as dreadful as one could imagine.
"Elder brother, you have been enslaved by the Beast Taming Sect for hundreds of years. Why not let him be enslaved by others for a few hundred years in return? To lose freedom and to be controlled by others every day is the most helpless pain," Ye Zhen said.
"Brother speaks logically!" Saying this, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King suddenly started, looking at Ye Zhen with a peculiar gaze, "What, brother, you want to use the Puppetry Technique on him?" freewebnøvel.com
"Elder brother is insightful!" Ye Zhen gave a thumbs up, subtly flattering him.
However, the expression of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King became unusually serious, his large eyes shining with a hint of shrewdness, "Brother, why enslave this old chap? Even though he has the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm Cultivation, that combat power, I think, is still not as good as yours, right?"
After pondering slightly, Ye Zhen decided to tell the truth, as playing tricks in front of this creature who had lived for over a thousand years was definitely not a wise choice.
"Not hiding anything from you, elder brother, I was once told by an expert that in the path of cultivation, the further one progresses, the more one must dissociate from power! Otherwise, just by oneself, it is absolutely impossible to access the vast amount of cultivation resources needed.
Until now, I have had no contact with power, but today, there’s an opportunity right here, and I’d like to use Puppetry Technique to enslave Yangh Yiguan and rebuild the Beast Taming Sect to serve me!"
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Almost the moment Ye Zhen’s words fell, Hu Qingtong and Lan Shuiqiao simultaneously and vehemently opposed, while the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, on the other hand, seemed contemplative.
"Monkey King, a hundred years ago, our ancestor expended tremendous effort to amass the myriad beasts to ambush the Beast Taming Sect. Among the seven Spirit Demons, four perished in battle, and over thirty thousand Heavenly Level Demon Beasts died to completely eradicate the Beast Taming Sect, this heartache of the Demon Race.
This time, the Grand Hall Master and I personally entered dangerous territory to prevent the resurgence of the Beast Taming Sect. How could we allow them to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect?"
As she spoke, Hundred Poisons Master Lan Shuiqiao was already glaring at Ye Zhen with anger, her gaze treating Ye Zhen almost as a mortal enemy!
Hu Qingtong’s gaze towards Ye Zhen also carried a hint of malice, evidently, they held deep concerns towards the Beast Taming Sect!
"Brother, you see, it’s not that I, as an elder brother, don’t want to help you, but what you are asking for is too..." the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King showed a pained expression.
"Elder brother, the Beast Taming Sect I speak of is not the Beast Taming Sect as you imagine! Perhaps, once rebuilt, the Beast Taming Sect could collaborate with your Demon Race!" Ye Zhen suggested.
"Collaborate?" A spark flashed in the eyes of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, "What kind of collaboration?"
Hundred Poisons Master Lan Shuiqiao scoffed, "This old body never imagined that our Demon Race could possibly collaborate with the Beast Taming Sect, our mortal enemy?"
On the side, Hu Qingtong showed a hint of interest.
"Let him finish!" the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King waved his hands.
"Just watch!"
As he spoke, Ye Zhen’s figure flickered, and with several palms strikes, he shattered the remaining six Sealing Formations, revealing the treasures within.
Among the six Sealing Formations, five contained Jade Talismans, all related to various inherited secret techniques of the Beast Taming Sect, like Beast Pill Secret Formula, Beast Feeding Technique, Beast Training Technique, and so on, while one Sealing Formation enclosed a Cold Jade Bottle.
Attached to the Cold Jade Bottle was a High Grade Spirit Crystal, maintaining a nearly transparent seal over the mouth of the bottle.
"Merely with this, the rebuilt Beast Taming Sect will possess values worth cooperating with you!" Ye Zhen said, pointing to the Cold Jade Bottle.
"What is this?"
The gaze of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Lan Shuiqiao, and Hu Qingtong converged simultaneously.
After a glance, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King said, "It’s a white juvenile egg, and it still has a breath of life, albeit extremely weak!"
Before the words of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King fell, Lan Shuiqiao exclaimed, "A Wind-swallowing Beast Egg, this is definitely one of the top ten Exotic Beasts, a Wind-swallowing Beast Egg. I didn’t expect the Beast Taming Sect to have preserved such a life-saving beast egg!"
"It’s good you recognized it!" Ye Zhen looked at the sealed Cold Jade Bottle and handed it directly to the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, "Big brother, I give this Wind-swallowing Beast Egg to you. How confident are you that you can bring it to life and have it proliferate?"
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s expression stiffened, "Uh... perhaps one or two percent chance of it surviving, but as for proliferating... I don’t know!"
In fact, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s statement was still quite conservative, the one or two percent chance was just to save face!
How to incubate and grow the Wind-swallowing Beast Egg was definitely a technical challenge!
"What about you?" Ye Zhen’s gaze turned to Lan Shuiqiao and Hu Qingtong!
Hu Qingtong silently shook his head, and although Lan Shuiqiao didn’t reply, their expression revealed the answer.
Immediately after, Ye Zhen moved, closing the lower jaw of Yangh Yiguan, allowing him to regain the ability to speak.
"Yangh Yiguan, what about you? If you were to incubate this Wind-swallowing Beast Egg, how confident are you?" Ye Zhen asked.
Yangh Yiguan struggled to smack his lips, and a glimmer of hope of survival suddenly surged in his desperate eyes.
This was the instinct of anyone in the face of death!
"With my current abilities, I might have less than a forty percent chance! But if I could learn all the Beast Feeding Secret Techniques, I am over eighty percent confident that I could keep it alive and have it proliferate!"
After speaking, Yangh Yiguan hurriedly added, as if afraid that others might not believe him, "You should have seen the Wind-swallowing Beast I used to save my life before; it was issued by the Sect."
"How about it?" Ye Zhen’s gaze turned to the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
"Whether the Wind-swallowing Beast can successfully proliferate seems irrelevant to us in the Demon Race, doesn’t it? After its success, it’s only going to add another life-saving treasure for you!" Hu Qingtong challenged.
"I said it’s cooperation! Don’t you need the Wind-swallowing Beast to save your life? This creature can even block an attack from the High Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Lotus Blue Flame Lamp, once!"
"Moreover, there’s deeper cooperation! Your Demon Race must have many mutant Demon Beasts facing extinction because they can’t preserve their bloodline, right?"
If you could cooperate with the Beast Taming Sect, I can’t guarantee all, but at least some of the mutant Demon Beasts that can’t preserve their bloodline should be able to survive!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Hu Qingtong, and Lan Shuiqiao all brightened simultaneously. Ye Zhen was right, their Demon Race indeed had numerous Exotic Beasts facing extinction because they couldn’t preserve their bloodline!
"Moreover, the greatest skill of the Beast Taming Sect, big brother, you should have experienced it, right?" Ye Zhen suddenly looked at the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
The Long-Aranged Fire Monkey King’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You mean?"
"The ability to stimulate the Demon Race’s ancient bloodline!" Saying this, accompanied by a loud ’bang’, the corpse of a Long-Armed Fire Monkey King puppet was thrown out by Ye Zhen!
Seeing the corpse of the Long-AIrmed Fire Monkey King puppet, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s eyebrows couldn’t help but tremble violently — those were memories not to be revisited!
In the past, the Beast Taming Sect captured several common Fire Monkeys with the Ancient Long-Armed Great Ape King bloodline. Stimulated with Secret Beast Medicines, they mated with him, and then he had hundreds of cheap monkey sons!
Normally, the chance for a Fire Monkey with Ancient Long-Armed Great Ape King bloodline to awaken and ascend to become a Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was extremely small, calling it one in ten thousand wasn’t an exaggeration.
But the Beast Taming Sect forcibly awakened seven Long-Armed Fire Monkey Kings from those hundreds of cheap monkey sons, though they were hard to control and all turned into puppets.
This was also what the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King always considered a painful matter.
But it must be said, this skill of the Beast Taming Sect was fatally attractive to the Demon Race!
If any of them could awaken a trace of the Ancient bloodline, it would mean their combat power could increase a hundredfold.
"Of course, this is just preliminary cooperation between the Beast Taming Sect and the Demon Race. If we really want to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect, we can negotiate specifics in all aspects, including not developing or directly cutting off some of the capabilities that are extremely detrimental to the Demon Race!"
After all, the Beast Taming Sect I rebuild using Yangh Yiguan, if it does anything that harms the fate of the Demon Race, with your abilities, it wouldn’t take a minute to annihilate it!" Ye Zhen threw out another bait.
Indeed, hearing this, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Can we really negotiate cooperation in all aspects?"
"Of course!"
"Then good, this matter, let us entrust Little Green Fox to discuss the specific terms with you!" the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King decided with a wave of his hand!
However, a trace of bitterness surfaced on Ye Zhen’s face; the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, indeed an old demon of a thousand years, had chosen Hu Qingtong to discuss the specifics with Ye Zhen.
It wasn’t just a loss for Ye Zhen; it was absolutely an argument based on reason!
If the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King had negotiated, given Ye Zhen’s understanding of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s temperament, he definitely could have gained some advantages.
Nevertheless, it was ultimately a great matter, and the rebuilding of the Beast Taming Sect was finally being discussed.
As long as this matter was negotiated, Ye Zhen would also have a considerable amount of power in his hands! (To be continued.
