Chapter 728: Chapter 719 Dumb Loss
“There’s a shortcut and you didn’t use it, insisting on stupidly bombarding that gate’s restriction. Luckily, I realized it in ti!”
With Divine Sense imrsed in the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast King, Ye Zhen sped through the underground like a fish, swiftly navigating while bitterly smiling!
Indeed, each hall had Formation protection, and the gates even had stronger restrictions. To enter, one must first smash the gate’s restriction with brute force.
But Ye Zhen didn’t need to!
The Ye Zhen, who mastered the Earth Escape Skill, could freely co and go from twenty ters below ground!
The gold elent Formation that countered Earth Escape was like a massive encirclent at a depth of twenty ters underground, densely layered with a potent force of the gold elent, preventing any martial artist who mastered Earth Escape Divine Ability from entering.
However, since Ye Zhen was already inside, he could move freely within this twenty-ter depth, unable to leave, yet any hall he wished to enter or exit was at his will!
When he thought through this point, Ye Zhen almost jumped up in elation.
In such circumstances, weren’t the treasures within this Ten Thousand Beast Hall at Ye Zhen’s disposal?
Even Niu Xiaotian, the Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect who was once regarded as the most perceptive leader under the skies, probably couldn’t have imagined today’s scenario.
The formation that defended against the Earth Escape Divine Ability was effective, but it couldn’t stop Ye Zhen from scurrying in and out of the various halls.
In the Alchemy Hall’s location, which sat at the crossroads of four halls, Ye Zhen could use the Earth Escape Skill to sneak into two other halls in less than a Hundred Breaths of ti.
Regrettably, the other two halls were empty, one’s purpose unclear, yet the na of another hall made Ye Zhen pause.
“Beast Punishnt Hall!”
Divine Sense swept over it, and finding no Guardian Puppets in this Beast Punishnt Hall, Ye Zhen then erged from underground.
The mont he surfaced, a layer of bone fragnts and bone powder covered from above, and an extre stench of blood perated throughout the hall!
The instant he was fully out, Ye Zhen was stunned!
“How many Demon Beasts had to be killed for it to be so… spectacular… horrendous…”
Within this Beast Punishnt Hall, in an area of about two thousand ters around, nearly every corner was layered thickly with bones, teeth, skulls, and finger bones from various Demon Beasts…
The thinnest areas had bone fragnts about a foot thick, and in the thickest areas, piles of white bones reached up to a ter.
One horrifyingly intimidating torture device after another lay buried amongst the white bones, creating a particularly ghastly and sinister atmosphere.
While inside this Beast Punishnt Hall, Ye Zhen’s ears seed to hear the screams of tens of thousands of Demon Beasts.
The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten in Ye Zhen’s arms hadn’t co out, but just the feeling alone made it shiver in terror.
It was the lingering resentnt of tens of thousands of tragically killed Demon Beasts!
After quickly circling the place, and finding nothing of use, Ye Zhen nearly fled from this Beast Punishnt Hall.
The feeling in this Beast Punishnt Hall was too horrifying, causing discomfort throughout his body!
Entering the ground again, he instantly felt much better.
Within a few breaths, Ye Zhen had escaped to the deepest hall at the crossroads; Hundred Poisons Master Lan Shuiqiao was still vigorously bombarding the restrictions on this hall.
However, after such a long ti of bombarding, the hall’s door restriction had beco quite weak, it wouldn’t be much longer before Lan Shuiqiao could enter!
As he passed by, a thought suddenly struck Ye Zhen.
If Lan Shuiqiao could harvest the fruits of his labor, why couldn’t Ye Zhen pluck Lan Shuiqiao’s fruits, ensuring a silent gain!
Thump thump thump!
The mont Lan Shuiqiao intensified her bombardnt on the hall door’s restriction, Ye Zhen escaped beneath the hall.
Divine Sense carefully sweeping through, Ye Zhen was greatly shocked, “Another Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Puppet!”
In a corner of this hall, a Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Puppet stood silently in the corner like a statue.
Although the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Puppet was terrifying, with the experience from last ti and the aid of Ye Zhen’s Heart Sword Golden Light, in just a few breaths, Ye Zhen had another Spirit-Sealing Puppet Orb in his hand.
A flash of light, and the Spirit-Sealing Puppet Orb along with the corpse of the Long-Ard Fire Monkey King Puppet were taken by Ye Zhen.
This hall, akin to the Alchemy Hall, had its four walls completely covered with dense Cold Jade Boxes, only these were comparatively smaller, none exceeding a foot square!
He opened one, empty!
Opened another, still empty!
After flipping through over a dozen Cold Jade Boxes and finding them empty, just as Ye Zhen was about to give up in disappointnt, one of the randomly opened Cold Jade Boxes suddenly revealed two egg-sized, shiny objects!
“Demon Pills!”
“Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Pills!”
Ye Zhen was overjoyed, this ti, at least he wouldn’t return empty-handed; two Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beasts’ pills, once taken outside, would have so value!
Thrilled, Ye Zhen began searching from one box to another, occasionally finding several Cold Jade Boxes storing Demon Pills and even encountering a few Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast’s Demon Pills.
This place was the Demon Pill storing site of the Beast Taming Sect. At its peak, it stored hundreds of thousands of Demon Pills, but over the Sect’s decline in the past few centuries, many of the stored Demon Pills here had been used.
Just before its destruction, nearly ninety-nine percent of the historically stored Demon Pills were consud!
What remained, although few, were substantial for Ye Zhen personally.
Under the excitent, it took just Hundred Breaths for Ye Zhen to flip through all the Cold Jade Boxes in the Demon Pill Hall; altogether, he found four hundred seventy-four Demon Pills.
Among them, two hundred ninety-one were Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Pills, one hundred sixty-eight Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Pills, and only fifteen were Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Pills.
In terms of wealth, this was an extraordinarily vast fortune.
A Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Core typically sold for thirty to fifty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, while a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Core’s price had already surpassed one hundred thousand.
All considered, this was definitely a fortune worth tens of millions of Mid-grade Spirit Crystals.
If Ye Zhen could sell all these Demon Cores in a short ti, he would be wealthy enough to rival nations.
In that instant, Ye Zhen suddenly and thoroughly understood the aning of ‘power and influence’ that Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong had previously ntioned!
On the path of Cultivation, the more one advanced to the later stages, the more important power and influence beca!
Even a genius at the Establishnt King level required countless Cultivation resources to build up, and those vast amounts of Cultivation resources could not be obtained by an individual alone.
Just like Ye Zhen, who had struggled for years and had only a few million Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, which also involved a certain degree of luck, most of which ca from the dead’s wealth.
But what about a Sect?
Just a remnant resource from the Beast Taming Sect had enabled Ye Zhen to amass a fortune that rivalled nations, several tis more than what he had accumulated over the previous decades.
And that was just a small portion of the Beast Taming Sect’s remaining resources.
Not to ntion a grand sect in its pri like the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
The Sun and Moon Divine Sect currently held seventeen branches, with a total congregation of over a million, including over two hundred thousand mbers above the Soul Sea Realm!
Suppose, just suppose, these two hundred thousand Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists generated an average of ten Mid-grade Spirit Crystals in pure value per day, that would make two million Mid-grade Spirit Crystals in one day.
In one year, that would amount to seventy to eighty million Mid-grade Spirit Crystals!
A person, even if they were to split themselves into eight parts, couldn’t possibly earn as much wealth!
Moreover, with the Sect’s efficiency, an ordinary mber of the Soul Sea Realm would definitely generate a value well above ten Mid-grade Spirit Crystals per day.
“It seems, once I get out of here, I need to do sothing within the Divine Sect….”
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud boom ca from outside the door, startling Ye Zhen from his thoughts.
“Humph, eat dust!”
With a cold snort, Ye Zhen’s figure abruptly sank and he vanished in an instant!
No more than ten breaths after Ye Zhen’s figure had disappeared, the great doors of the Demon Pill Hall were pushed open, and Hundred Poisons Master Lan Shuiqiao, slightly weary, entered the hall.
Even though her Cultivation had reached the Peak of Eighth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, the continuous and intense bombardnt still taxed her significantly!
“Hmm, no guardian puppets?”
Her gaze swept around, and disappointnt glimred in Lan Shuiqiao’s eyes.
In the Ten Thousand Beast Hall, halls that actually contained treasures were guarded by guardian puppets; finding none here suggested this hall might be of little value.
“Eh, that’s not right?”
Her gaze fell on several Cold Jade Boxes on the walls, causing Lan Shuiqiao’s expression to change again, and she imdiately dashed over.
“Hmm? The scent of Demon Cores? There’s still a trace of Demon Core scent here?”
“Is this the Demon Pill Hall?”
Startled, Lan Shuiqiao quickly checked all the Cold Jade Boxes, her expression beca extrely solemn.
“Soone has been here!”
“And they killed the guardian puppet with hardly any cost?”
In a corner, Lan Shuiqiao noticed so fresh stone chips, and her expression imdiately beca extrely puzzled!
“Both doors to this hall were clearly closed; how could soone possibly get inside?”
“Moreover, I was right outside, and I didn’t sense any noises of a fight!”
“Who could have such vast Divine Abilities to take the items before ? Those Demon Cores, not to ntion, the puppet….”
Lan Shuiqiao’s long eyebrows imdiately furrowed into a “川” character, “None among us has such an ability; could there be other experts who have infiltrated this place?”
As doubts filled her mind, Lan Shuiqiao, frowning, walked toward another door of the grand hall — this hall had two doors.
Underground, Ye Zhen, sensing Lan Shuiqiao’s appearance through his Divine Sense, nearly burst out laughing.
I got your fruits picked; now that I picked yours first, let’s see how you feel!
The next mont, Ye Zhen keenly noticed Lan Shuiqiao heading toward another door at the other end.
While Lan Shuiqiao once again began pounding furiously at the restriction seal of another door from the inside, Ye Zhen had already passed swiftly underground and after traversing a long corridor and another empty grand hall, he suddenly discovered a different pathway.
On either side of this distinct pathway, every hundred ters, stood a ten-ter-tall bronze beast head, fiercely overlooking the path.
At a glance down the road to its end, there stood over a hundred massive bronze beast heads, framing the grand hall in between with an extraordinarily imposing presence!
“Could this be the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beast Hall?”
Moved by the thought, Ye Zhen traversed underground in a few breaths to the front of this imposing hall, but the mont he arrived in front of this grand hall, his expression suddenly froze, almost exclaiming aloud.
