King of Creation-Chapter 746 - 736: The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s Grand Gift (Second Update)
Chapter 746: Chapter 736: The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s Grand Gift (Second Update)
"Is this my good fortune or my lord’s, to succeed on my first attempt..." Yang Yiguan, who had just stood up, was still somewhat palpitated.
As an elder of the Beast Taming Sect, he had heard about the success rate of the Soul-locking Puppet Technique. All the core elders of the Beast Taming Sect who were eligible to learn this technique had killed thousands of people before achieving a success rate of only about forty percent.
This was the real reason for Elder Yangh’s worry before Ye Zhen performed the technique. According to the records of the Beast Taming Sect, none of the elders who first attempted the Soul-locking Puppet Technique had a success rate exceeding five percent.
Seeing Elder Yangh’s astonishment, Ye Zhen slightly curled his lips. Luck? This was certainly not a matter of luck.
If it had been about luck, Elder Yangh would have died from a brain burst, and Ye Zhen himself would have suffered severe damage to his Divine Soul.
Ye Zhen had studied carefully: the key to the success of the Soul-locking Puppet Technique, apart from the complete cooperation of the subject, lay in the strength of both parties’ Divine Souls.
If the strength of the Divine Soul was not sufficient, the subject’s Soul Sea would collapse before the completion of the Soul-locking Puppet Technique.
When Ye Zhen was performing the Soul-locking Puppet Technique, Elder Yangh’s Soul Sea nearly burst on two occasions, but at the critical moments, Ye Zhen refined two Ghosts of Demon Souls stored in the Demon Soul Hall and sent their extremely pure Divine Soul Power into Elder Yangh’s Soul Sea, stabilizing it.
Otherwise, Elder Yangh’s head would have exploded like a rotten watermelon by now.
"This is the Formation Charm from the Beast Taming Sect. Craft your own talismans, and a day later, send us off," Ye Zhen instructed.
"My lord, I’ll get right on it..."
Ye Zhen, seemingly displeased, pinched his nose, "Go on, go wash up and then come back, what a stench..."
Elder Yangh gave an awkward smile and hurriedly turned to leave. The moment he turned, a hint of sorrow and a bit of relief could be seen in his eye.
The sorrow was because, after toiling for most of his life, he, Elder Yangh, ended up enslaved by a young man in his early twenties, who could make him bark like a dog whenever he wished.
Life is but a dream!
The relief came from, although being enslaved, the ambition he had worked for most of his life to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect was achieved, and under Ye Zhen’s planning, the greatest threat to the Beast Taming Sect had been eliminated.
One can imagine, as long as he didn’t seek death, the revival of the Beast Taming Sect was hopeful!
"Big brother, where do you plan to go after we leave?" Ye Zhen looked at the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
"Where to go?"
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King seemed a bit lost, "After seven or eight hundred years of darkness, I plan to wander around. I naturally have to meet the old folks from the Devil God Palace, as for where I’ll finally settle, well, I’ll decide later. After seven or eight hundred years, everything... has changed beyond recognition."
His expression filled with an indescribable melancholy, making it difficult for Ye Zhen to say anything more!
About half an hour later, Elder Yangh, who had gone out to wash, suddenly rushed back in, stumbling, "My lord, quick, stop it quickly; if it’s not stopped, the foundation of the Beast Taming Sect’s rebuild will be destroyed!" he said, trembling even in his hands.
"Stop who, stop what?" Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised.
"Your demon servant, if you don’t stop it now, the million Demon Beasts on the Ten Thousand Beast Plain will be wiped out!" Elder Yangh said, his lips twitching with pain.
"Make way!"
Elder Yangh, holding a talisman, led the way for Ye Zhen and the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, and in a few moments, they reached the giant beast head in front of the Ten Thousand Beast Hall Group, then, Ye Zhen smiled wryly, while the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was stunned!
"Spirit Beast!"
"In just a few days, this little guy has broken through from the Upper-grade Earth Level to the Low-Grade Spirit Tier, what kind of Demon Beast’s Bloodline did it fuse with?"
Far away, on the Ten Thousand Beast Plain, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, merely twenty meters tall, was sitting high atop a giant beast’s back, within ten thousand meters around, densely packed, millions of Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts knelt down, not daring to even breathe.
Every now and then, a white Cloud Qi would sweep up, envelop a Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beast, and bring it directly before the kitten, whose claws would shoot out, dig out the Demon Core amidst the pitiful howls of the Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beast, and swallow it in one gulp.
Then, holding onto the Heavenly Level corpse, it would take a few bites from the freshest spine meat before tossing the body aside.
In the distance, the corpses of Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts had piled up into a mountain of flesh, and the blood they shed had formed a small blood-colored lake; by estimation, there were over ten thousand corpses!
Further away, tens of thousands of Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beasts were staring at that mountain of Demon Beast corpses from dozens of miles away, yet none dared to make a move!
Moreover, over a hundred Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts stayed far away; just one glance from the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was enough to send those Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts scurrying away in fear.
"My lord, more than ten thousand have been slaughtered without any resistance; all the Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts on the Ten Thousand Beast Plain dare not resist. If it continues like this, it’s not impossible that they will all be killed!" Elder Yangh said, his face filled with sorrow.
It must be said, Elder Yangh was indeed the best candidate for rebuilding the Beast Taming Sect.
Ye Zhen, however, was sensing the changes in the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s aura, including the Demon Beasts without demon cores, the kitten had swallowed at least five thousand Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Cores.
Yet, its Cultivation aura had not advanced to the Mid-Grade Spirit Tier, staying at the Low-Grade Spirit Tier, precisely, it had reached the Mid Stage Low-Grade Spirit Tier.
In other words, after killing another thirty to forty thousand Heavenly Level Demon Beasts and swallowing another ten to twenty thousand Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Cores, the kitten’s cultivation might advance to the Mid-Grade Spirit Tier.
A Middle-level Spirit Beast, ah! Its combat power would increase by a large margin.
"Good! Just as this agreement was starting, you, the Beast Taming Sect, have violated the agreement by massively slaughtering Heavenly Level Demon Beasts. What are you trying to do? Aren’t you afraid of the backlash from the Divine Soul Oath?"
Behind him, the angry shout of Master Lan Shuiqiao, the Hundred Poisons Master, rang out, along with a sullen-faced Hu Qingtong, who was clearly also very dissatisfied with this scene!
However, in the next moment, Lan Shuiqiao and Hu Qingtong’s eyes lit up, "A Spirit Beast, has a Spirit Beast appeared?"
"According to the agreement between our two families, we have the right...."
Lan Shuiqiao hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Ye Zhen, "Master Lan, don’t dream! First, this Cloud Winged Tiger King has been promoted to a Spirit Beast, but it is my demon servant, not part of the Beast Taming Sect.
Second, even if a Spirit Beast appears, according to our two families’ agreement, it should prioritize satisfying the Beast Taming Sect, allowing the sect to defend itself. So, this has nothing to do with you!"
"Kitten, come back!"
With a whistle, a streak of light flashed by. Before Ye Zhen’s voice had even fallen, the kitten had appeared on Ye Zhen’s shoulder. For a brief period, neither the reconstruction demands of the Beast Taming Sect nor the supervision from the Devil God Palace could tempt Ye Zhen to target these demon beasts anymore.
"That speed...."
The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Lan Shuiqiao, and Hu Qingtong simultaneously showed expressions of astonishment. The speed that the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had just demonstrated was too fast. A distance of over twenty li had been covered in the blink of an eye.
And that was at normal speed; if it were to fully accelerate, how fast would that be?
"Elder Yangh, hurry and refine the Passing Formation Talisman. Once it’s ready, quickly take us away!" Ye Zhen urged.
Ye Zhen’s rush to leave was twofold. First, he wanted to quickly dispatch the people before him, and secondly, it involved Fengh Qingyue. He didn’t know how Fengh Qingyue had left and what her condition was now.
Despite having the Formation Formula Handbook, it still took Elder Yangh two days to prepare the Passing Formation Talisman.
During those two days, Ye Zhen wasn’t idle either. He fully immersed himself in studying the Puppet Spirit Record, trying out many secret techniques recorded within.
The Puppet Spirit Record contained not just the Soul-locking Puppet Technique but also methods on enslaving beasts, refining puppets, repairing puppets, and other various secret techniques, keeping him extremely busy.
"Lord, Monkey King, Chief of the Great Hall Hu, Master Lan, please!"
Two days later, Elder Yangh led the way. The group traversed across the Ten Thousand Beast Plain, crossed the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, and reached the Life and Death Road.
With a Formation Talisman clearing the path, the Life and Death Road became very easy. Even the previously challenging Heavenly Time and Place Enchanting Soul Formation was passed through directly.
It took less than half an hour to pass through the Vortex Light Gate in Ten Thousand Beast Valley and appear in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
However, the exit was not the same as the entry; instead of emerging at the spring they entered from, they appeared inside a lair of Devouring Demon Rats.
The grade of these Devouring Demon Rats was only Heavenly Level Lower Grade, but the number in one clan could reach up over ten thousand, even led by a Devouring Demon Rat King.
For the average person, entering such a lair was almost certainly fatal.
Yet, with a roar from both the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King and the Cloud Winged Tiger King, all the Devouring Demon Rats scattered in an instant, making it impossible for Ye Zhen to lock onto the Demon Rat King!
"The sun, the clouds, the stars of all heavens, how many years has it been since I last saw them...." The freshly emerged Long-Armed Fire Monkey King gazed at the sky somewhat sentimentally, his eyes suddenly becoming moist.
"Congratulations to the Monkey King for seeing the light of day again, Monkey King, do you prefer to go see our old ancestor now, or?" Hu Qingtong asked.
"I might as well see that old ghost first; it’s been seven or eight hundred years, and I’ve started to miss familiar faces, even if they are enemies...." the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King said.
"That’s fine. Ladies and gentlemen, the Monkey King and I will take our leave first!" Hu Qingtong spoke primarily to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment before he asked in surprise, "And Master Lan?"
"Master Lan isn’t leaving. She is actually one of the four hall masters of our Devil God Palace. Starting today, she will serve as our Devil God Palace’s permanent Inspector Envoy stationed in the Beast Taming Sect!"
Lan Shuiqiao stepped forward and said, "Grand Hall Master rest assured, I will definitely perform well as this Inspector Envoy and keep a tight watch on the Beast Taming Sect!"
Seeing Ye Zhen and Elder Yangh’s somewhat astonished expressions, Hu Qingtong looked somewhat pleased as if she was very happy to see Ye Zhen caught off guard.
After a brief pause, Ye Zhen patted Elder Yangh on the shoulder and said, "Elder Yangh, no, Sect Leader Yangh, with the rebuilding of the Beast Taming Sect, various small factions will surely be peeking around.
Remember, remember, you must ask Master Lan for assistance. Master Lan’s strength is top-notch, with no problem repelling incoming enemies!
Remember, this concerns the cooperation plan between the Devil God Palace and us. If there’s danger, you mustn’t personally face it. Leave such matters entirely to Master Lan!" Ye Zhen said, making faces as he spoke.
Elder Yangh responded loudly, "Uh, understood, subordinates will definitely follow Lord’s instructions, no violations!"
"Chief Hu of the Great Hall, concerning the cooperation between our two houses, you have no objections, right?" Ye Zhen’s gaze turned towards Hu Qingtong.
Upon hearing this, both Hu Qingtong and Lan Shuiqiao were stunned, utterly frustrated. With such a maneuver, didn’t Lan Shuiqiao, this Inspector Envoy, just become an enforcer for the Beast Taming Sect?
With the heavy hat of collaboration thrown in, they couldn’t escape, and could only silently agree to this arrangement.
"Big Brother, this is my Talisman Lead. The journey ahead is long and arduous. If you are free, come find me in Qinglan Martial City for a drink. At that time, the Eighteen Spirit Brew will be more than enough!" Ye Zhen said, offering a fist salute to the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
"Good, good! When the time comes, let us brothers drink until we drop, until we meet again!"
Ye Zhen and the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King forcefully punched fists. Hu Qingtong and the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Ye Zhen looked at the three strands of golden-red monkey hair sticking to the back of his hand and the echoing voice in his mind, stunned.
He hadn’t expected that upon parting, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, his accidental big brother, would leave him such a generous gift! (To be continued.
