The Master of Beasts

Chapter 865 288_2

Just like now, in just ten years, the population of the entire Star Moon Tribe has grown nearly tenfold, reaching the formidable number of a million, among which the number of tribal warriors has become even more astonishing due to the abundant supply of flesh.

Give the Star Moon Tribe another hundred years, and Shuibing dares to boast that apart from top-tier strength, the Star Moon Tribe can withstand the entire Sunset Mountain Range with the power of one tribe!

But the prerequisite for all this is Chen Jiuge's return, continuing to grow by absorbing blood from Di Chun!

It might not just be the Four Seasons Tribe, there might be tribes outside the Sunset Mountain Range, after all, Shuibing doesn't believe that a single Four Seasons Tribe would have endless resources, even with a Secret Realm, it's impossible.

After all, the growth of spiritual materials and ores requires a long time.

"Let's wait a bit longer!"

Feng Cang shook his head slightly and said, "There's still another sixty years, and Di Chun wouldn't dare make a move against us. With the Heavenly Snake here, we can at least stabilize the surroundings, just wait a little longer!"

"Wait?" Jialouluo was somewhat unwilling.

"Actually, I also think waiting is the best plan because we know too little about the Heavenly Gift Realm. No matter whether it's leveraging power or anything else, we need time to understand the outside world!"

Shuibing looked at everyone and said, "I've already formed dozens of teams, led by Golden Saber Warriors, to explore beyond the mountains, and incidentally, also search for the whereabouts of the City Lord!"

"Thirty years, we can wait at most thirty more years. After thirty years, whether or not there is news of the City Lord, we need to start moving!"

"No matter the thoughts, as long as there's a possibility to solve the predicament, we need to act!"

"Alright!"

"Alright!"

......

Chen Jiuge didn't know that in just ten years of his departure, the Star Moon Tribe encountered such a big trouble.

"Finally awake!"

After fully nurturing the Saber-toothed Tigers, Chen Jiuge thought for a moment and decided to nurture all the remaining Fierce Beasts on the Large Ranch in one go, after all, he had a lot of Innate Primordial Qi by his side, so the Flower Spirit wouldn't disturb him.

After handing over the Fierce Beasts, Chen Jiuge also gave the Flower Spirit the nurturing methods for various types of Fierce Beasts.

In return, the Flower Spirit gave all the remaining Innate Primordial Qi to Chen Jiuge, which was an immense fortune!

At least Chen Jiuge could nurture hundreds of Golden Saber Warriors!

In the following days, Chen Jiuge stayed beside the Guardian Beast, not going anywhere, now they finally awoke.

Various Wilderness Qi surged from the Guardian Beast, their cultivation all reached the Golden Immortal Extreme!

"Master!"

Yue Meng, who was the first to fully digest the cultivation, jumped to Chen Jiuge's side.

"Master"

"Master"

"Finally awake, then it's time to say goodbye!"

"You're leaving!" The Flower Spirit showed a hint of hesitation, truth be told, she didn't want Chen Jiuge to leave, as having another person around could alleviate her boredom, not to mention Chen Jiuge's abilities were exceptionally strong, he could even help solve the threats of the Desolate Land.

"Senior, I have many trifles to attend to. After being away for years, I must return and see!" Chen Jiuge noticed the Flower Spirit's expression and felt a pang in his heart.

"Alright, but could I make one more request?"

"Please speak freely, senior!"

"There are not enough Fierce Beasts. I cannot leave the Five Elements Forbidden Land, so I'd like to ask you to capture some more!"

"This is a trivial matter!"

"Just place those Fierce Beasts on the path, and I will take care of the rest!"

"Alright!"

Having confirmed the Flower Spirit wasn't intent on keeping him and his companions forcibly, Chen Jiuge felt relieved, and agreed willingly!

After Chen Jiuge's party vanished at the end of the avenue, a little elf with five small flowers atop its head and an elder-like face appeared beside the Flower Spirit.

"Master, are you really letting him leave like that?"

The Flower Spirit patted the elf's head: "The Chaos Pearl's host, I certainly don't want to go through such a past experience again. Plus, his help to us is sufficient, isn't it?"

"Once the Five Elements Forbidden Land is thoroughly dealt with, the Heavenly Dao Oath from back then can never bind me again!"

The Flower Spirit didn't tell Chen Jiuge the truth; she wasn't sent to the Five Elements Forbidden Land right after Transformation, her cultivation was complete, but she was defeated by Ying City and exiled there!

Moreover, the innate divine ability of Innate Primordial Qi wasn't mastered by her back then, only after perceiving the Five Elements Forbidden Land for years did she comprehend it.

She even discovered the Chaos Pearl within Chen Jiuge the moment she saw him.

The subsequent nurturing of Fierce Beasts was intentional; the Flower Spirit knew the Chaos Pearl was capable of such feats!

Due to a word from that person from back then: "If only you could comprehend Innate Primordial Qi, right now it's tasteless to eat, regrettable to discard!"

"Soon, soon, at most ten thousand years, if that little guy captures enough Fierce Beasts, the time can be brought forward!"

On the other hand, having left the Five Elements Forbidden Land, Chen Jiuge also felt conflicted.

"To help or not to help?"

"Master?" Yue Meng called out.

"Master, where shall we capture the Fierce Beasts now?" Dabai, whose cultivation had significantly advanced, rubbed his fists eagerly.

"Well..."

"Master, you wouldn't want to back out, would you?" Dabai halted his movements.

"What are you saying? How could I possibly back out?"

Chen Jiuge sighed inwardly, the Flower Spirit had indeed treated him well, even bestowing precious Innate Primordial Qi for them to enhance their cultivation, but Chen Jiuge couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

"The secrets of the Five Elements Forbidden Land, told just like that, then letting us leave so easily!"

"I really find it hard to believe!"

But Chen Jiuge could only voice these thoughts to himself, he didn't think the Flower Spirit would have no backup plan if he refused to help capture Fierce Beasts!

An entity with cultivation at least Heavenly King Level, or even higher, being an Innate Spirit Root Transformation, it's laughable to assume she has no backup plan!

"Forget it, although this matter is a bit troublesome for me, it's at most a waste of some time, not too significant!"

The process of capturing Fierce Beasts wasn't very smooth, after all, the Fierce Beasts in the Flower Spirit's Large Ranch were limited in types, Chen Jiuge's Beast Taming Technique only worked on these.

Other Fierce Beasts were practically useless.

"Hundred beasts!"

Chen Jiuge quietly calculated the number sent to the Five Elements Forbidden Land, capturing a hundred beasts alone, whereas the remaining Guardian Beasts were fewer, around seventy to eighty, totaling nearly eight hundred.

Compared to the number reproduced in the Flower Spirit Ranch over many years, it was just a drop in the ocean, however, Chen Jiuge estimated the Flower Spirit didn't intend to overengorge instantly.

The larger likelihood was that she wanted Chen Jiuge to capture some beasts so her ranch could sustain development.

No idea how long the Flower Spirit had been trapped, but judging by the number of stray beasts reproducing there, it seemed quite lengthy.

Having been confined for so long, presumably, she wouldn't mind waiting a bit more!

"Let it be!"

Chen Jiuge didn't plan to capture any more Fierce Beasts; despite their significant cultivation advancement, capturing Fierce Beasts wasn't overly difficult, and it even helped ground their foundations.

But nearby beasts had mostly been captured; not that the dozen types were exterminated, rather the Flower Spirit needed them alive, and capturing and transporting them took too much time, which wasn't convenient.

Moreover, these beasts weren't weak; many had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, without the Flower Spirit's bounty, enabling the cultivation advancement, capturing eight hundred beasts would not be simple.

"Master, where to next?" Yue Meng asked curiously.

"Where to?"

A trace of confusion flickered in Chen Jiuge's eyes; initially, his goal upon leaving was seeking the Secret Realm possibly in the Sunset Mountain Range.

But the visit to the Five Elements Forbidden Land seriously delayed it, ten years, their stay in the Heavenly Gift Realm was barely ten years.

"Let's go back, shall we!"

Chen Jiuge still felt some concern; his collaboration with Shuibing and others was merely okay, although he left Sorrowful Girl in the Star Moon Tribe, he didn't believe that a single Sorrowful Girl could manage Shuibing and others.

Moreover, the primary task of the Sorrowful Girl was overseeing the nine in the Nine Yang Land.

"Return?"

Yue Meng seemed a bit disappointed, ten years seemed long yet in the Heavenly Realm, ten years was akin to a nap!

"Yes, let's go back first. If there's nothing much, we'll explore another direction later!"
