Chapter 401: Four Great Sages

When the Giant Eagle obtained this news, it was confused.

The Thunder Beast guarding the Cloud Lightning Field was a rather famous ten-thousand-year ancient soul beast in the Myriad Beast Mountain, but it was actually defeated by a human youth. It could understand if it was defeated by a middle-level Contract Soul Master.

After all, some middle-level Contract Soul Masters among humans were still very strong.

But it was only a human youth, a Level 20 Contract Soul Master?

“It’s indeed trash.” The Cloud Flame Fox who came to report grinned.

“Then? It let that kid pass the Cloud Lightning Field?” The Giant Eagle was furious.

“No.”

The Cloud Flame Fox took out a report and handed it to the Giant Eagle, “This is the report that the Thunder Beast asked me to bring. I don’t know the details, but it should have made a deal with that youth.”

The Giant Eagle took the report and gently condensed a light with its eagle claws.

In an instant, the report that seemed to be made of special leather began to reveal strange patterns that flew into the Giant Eagle’s mind.

After a moment, the Giant Eagle pondered and nodded slowly.

“I see.”

After thinking for a while, the Giant Eagle took out a feather and handed it to the little fox.

“Hand this to that human youth and he will know what I mean. Tell him to be careful.”

The Cloud Flame Fox picked up the feather and flew away on the huge bird.

“Interesting.”

The Giant Eagle looked at the cocoon, its eagle eyes shining sharply.

It pulled out another feather and blew.

In an instant, the feather transformed into a green-gray eagle and disappeared into the void.

——

Myriad Beast Mountain, Heavenly Lightning Peak.

The straight Heavenly Lightning Peak existed like a dragon’s head in the mountains of the Myriad Beast Mountain.

At this moment, the Heavenly Lightning Peak looked extremely calm from afar, and the clouds were even clearer.

However, there was a hint of silence in this calm.

In the air, a scarlet arc of light suddenly appeared and disappeared.

The Time Flow Great Sage frowned slightly.

The Heavenly Lightning Peak that it saw had lightning surging within a hundred miles. Its aura was terrifying. The various mountains with the Heavenly Lightning Peak as the center had all broken apart. The ground emitted a charred color, like a hell of death that made one’s heart palpitate.

Especially at the top of the center of the Heavenly Lightning Peak, scarlet light condensed like a vortex and enveloped the void.

A huge True Dragon flew in the clouds, emitting a five-colored light.

In all directions, there were four different colors. Like a barrier, they enveloped the surroundings of the Heavenly Lightning Peak, forming a powerful barrier that prevented the outside world from seeing the scene of the Heavenly Lightning Peak.

In the air.

Four ancient soul beasts of different sizes sat in the air.

“Time Flow, you’re here?”

A bear-type ancient soul beast sitting on the left said, “Here… actually, Senior Cloud Sea Azure Dragon’s situation is not bad, but its Heavenly Tribulation is too strong. The domain barrier we set up probably can’t stabilize it.”

The Time Flow Great Sage nodded slightly.

These four ancient soul beasts were also Great Sages of the Myriad Beast Mountain.

Bear Demon Great Sage, Heavenly Illusion Great Sage, White Phoenix Great Sage, and True Lightning Great Sage.

They were all ancient soul beasts left behind from the Fallen Ancient Era. Most of them had entered the hundred thousand-year level after the Fallen Ancient Era.

“I thought we could stabilize it…”

The Bear Demon Great Sage sighed slightly, “If I had known earlier, I should have listened to the Heavenly Illusion Great Sage and delayed the Myriad Beast Festival.”

Its deep voice made the silent ground seem even more serious.

“It’s useless to say this now.” The Heavenly Illusion Great Sage’s old voice was calm, “Just strengthen the barrier. The power of the lightning tribulation will fuse into the ground. At most, we’ll change this Heavenly Lightning Peak into a wasteland. As long as Senior Cloud Sea Azure Dragon can successfully transcend the tribulation, our Myriad Beast Mountain can afford this loss.”

“Unfortunately, Senior Qilin is not here. Otherwise, the situation would not be so troublesome.”

“Time Flow, how’s the situation outside?” The White Phoenix Great Sage’s voice was clear.

“The outside world is fine.” The Time Flow Great Sage thought for a moment, “We’ve found a few Ghost Disciples, but it should be impossible for them to come to our Heavenly Lightning Peak. This is not the first time they’ve done this. We’ve also made preparations so that they won’t cause trouble.”

“Not necessarily.” The True Lightning Great Sage frowned and said, “Although I only go out once a year in the Starry War Zone where I’m located, I clearly feel that they’ve relaxed quite a bit this year. There have already been more than three Ghost Disciple attacks in a year. There was even a crisis when the Soul Earth erupted and almost caused a huge problem. Even the soul beasts in the wilderness outside have heard that they were affected by the Ghost Disciples. I heard that they found the energy to spread the Black Blood Cancer… This year’s Myriad Beast Festival, if the Starry War Zone is slightly lacking in defense, it’s not impossible for a powerful Ghost King to run in from there.”

“Moreover, their Human Federation has been peaceful for so many years. However, battles still exist and have never stopped.”

“Now that Senior Cloud Sea Azure Dragon is transcending the tribulation, not only is it our Myriad Beast Mountain’s sacred beast, but it’s also the lucky beast guarding the Eastern War Zone. There are probably a few war zones that don’t want it to be too powerful. If we relax a little, it’s not impossible for some Ghost Disciples to enter and interfere with us.”

“We can’t eliminate the Ghost Disciples for a long time. If the seven war zones really joined forces, those Ghost Disciples would have long been gone.”

The True Lightning Great Sage snorted.

“What you say makes sense,” the Time Flow Great Sage muttered. “I’ve considered this situation, but even if a rather troublesome Ghost King really appears, I have a way.”

With that, the Time Flow Great Sage pondered.

The Ghost King was an extremely powerful Ghost Disciple Contract Soul Master.

Compared to human Contract Soul Masters, they were already close to the high level and their abilities were unfathomable.

Even among the Ghost Disciples, they were very rare.

They would not appear easily.

“Oh right, why did you bring… soul pets over? These are soul pets from the outside world, right?”

The True Lightning Great Sage said unhappily, “How can you bring external soul pets into such a place? What if an accident happens?”

Behind the Time Flow Great Sage, Bear Treasure and the Magnetic Sword looked around.

The few Great Sages had actually discovered them long ago, but they did not say anything.

What kind of soul beast was the Time Flow Great Sage?

There had to be a reason why it brought these soul pets here.

“Oh?” The Time Flow Great Sage smiled and looked at the four half-human and half-beast Great Sages.

Unlike the Giant Eagle, although that fellow was a Great Sage, it was mainly powerful. In fact, it was not even a hundred thousand years old.

Therefore, it did not cultivate a human body.

These Great Sages were all 100,000-year-old existences and had already begun to cultivate the human body.

To ancient soul beasts like them, cultivating a human body actually had many meanings. For example, experiencing the various aspects of human society, comprehending the cultivation of humans, cultivating some special skills developed by humans, and so on. The greatest meaning was—the symbol of strength.

‘After all, you have a hundred thousand years of cultivation. If you can’t cultivate a human body, even if you’re half-human and half-beast, you’ll be embarrassed!’

Of course, as ancient soul beasts, most of them liked their original bodies the most.
