The construction of the chanical Warrior was exceedingly clear to Xu Fan, who, unlike others who saw these indestructible and impenetrable warriors, could disassemble them like a set of building blocks with little effort.
In just a mont, Xu Fan dismantled three chanical Warriors, stripping away their sturdy armor to reveal three stones that glowed red at their cores.
The reason for referring to them as "stones" was simple; Xu Fan did not know what these three red-glowing objects were…
However, he was certain that these three red-glowing stones were not ordinary items. The rich spiritual power they emitted was far purer and more vast than Cold Essence, undoubtedly marking them as extraordinary treasures!
"A huge profit!"
Without hesitation, Xu Fan stored the three red-glowing stones along with the remnants of the three chanical Warriors into his storage ring. With the Mo Family's Treasure Record in hand, Xu Fan was ready to recycle resources at any ti, reconstructing the remnants into new weapons.
It was clear that a terrifying attack had occurred on the Myriad Beasts Sect a thousand years ago, devastating the entire mountain gate, with treasures plundered. Yet, everything within this trap remained intact, conveniently for Xu Fan.
"Sothing's off. This trap's presence within the main hall was peculiarly strange, deliberately blocking Divine Sense, and disguising a hidden realm within…"
Xu Fan had long suspected sothing wrong with this trap, and seeing the three chanical Warriors had pushed his curiosity to its peak.
"This trap is certainly not just designed to kill enemies! It's hiding sothing!"
"Could it be…"
Xu Fan stopped speculating and promptly continued walking deeper within.
Rather than conjecturing exhaustively, it was better to witness it with his own eyes. After all, the daunting traps along the road were insignificant to Xu Fan.
Unexpectedly, Xu Fan's journey was unusually calm, with no traps appearing until he reached the end and finally stopped.
"Hmm? Is this the end?"
Xu Fan was slightly startled, his keen eyes scanned the surroundings, quickly noticing sothing, "No! This is… a chanical stone door!"
His hands brushed against the wall in front, injecting a wisp of Spiritual Power. It traveled like navigating a maze, eventually striking gently at a part inside the wall.
Crack! Crack!
Rumblings followed the cracking sounds as the wall trembled thunderously, revealing a stone door opening into a tiny secret chamber!
"It seems all the secrets are contained within this stone chamber…"
Without hesitation, Xu Fan stepped into the stone chamber, scanning around before his gaze sharply focused.
The interior of the stone chamber was exceedingly simple, with only a bed seemingly made of jade and a book; beyond this, nothing else!
The jade bed was crystalline and translucent, emitting powerful spiritual energy waves, evidently not an ordinary item, seemingly a precious treasure lavishly crafted into a bed!
By contrast, the book appeared incredibly ordinary with yellowed pages, a blank cover, seemingly fragile enough to be scattered by a breeze due to its age.
However, Xu Fan was aware that the book's value might surpass even the jade bed! The whole jade bed might have been crafted solely for safeguarding the book!
Carefully opening the pages, Xu Fan saw a clumsy script, confirming his speculations.
The handwriting was scratchy and hurried. The first page's dense small script unraveled all of Xu Fan's doubts.
The author of this book was Gu Fang, the Sect Master of Myriad Beasts Sect. As per its na, Myriad Beasts Sect was an organization focusing on controlling Spiritual Beasts to aid in combat. A thousand years ago, although not all-powerful, it held a firm place within the Cultivation World.
Within the sect, a Golden Ape and a Hundred Serpents were the strongest, boasting two formidable Spiritual Beasts' aid. Even the top experts of the current era were no match for Gu Fang.
One day, a cultivator from the Mo Family visited and warned Gu Fang that Spiritual Beasts possess awareness, and reckless control would lead to great calamity. anwhile, the Mo Family cultivator offered to leave the Mo Family's chanical techniques as compensation.
What was Gu Fang's status? He directly expelled the Mo Family cultivator. Nonetheless, the Mo Family cultivator insisted on suggesting that Gu Fang build a secret chamber using Mo Family's chanisms for escape during critical tis.
Gu Fang outwardly declined but secretly crafted what seed like a trap—a secret chamber—to use as an escape passage during crises.
Gu Fang thought this chamber likely wouldn't be needed.
However, the day ca unexpectedly.
An elder from the Taoist sect arrived, openly demanding the Beast Taming Art. Gu Fang was furious and naturally refused. The visitor was a top-tier expert of the epoch. Gu Fang commanded the Golden Ape and White Serpents into battle against the elder.
To Gu Fang's surprise, during the fight, the elder suddenly tossed an elixir into the Golden Ape's mouth before fleeing.
Gu Fang thought the elixir poisoned, but as the Golden Ape was immune to poison, Gu Fang wasn't worried. To Gu Fang's shock, the elixir was for boosting power and breaking boundary shackles!
The Golden Ape showed no imdiate reaction, but by nightfall, after secretly breaching realms, it forcibly broke free of Gu Fang's control, slaughtering indiscriminately within Myriad Beasts Sect, demolishing the sect, leaving disciples dead!
Gu Fang, in deep regret, released the White Serpents from control, letting it escape, intending to et his end. Still, reluctant to see the sect's end, he left this book in the secret chamber, docunting Myriad Beasts Sect's beast control techniques before his demise.
...
Upon reaching this point, Xu Fan finally understood why Mo Family's chanical techniques appeared in Myriad Beasts Sect, why there was a secret chamber within the trap, and why Qing Xuan from the Taoist sect could control exotic beasts for combat.
At this mont, Xu Fan unexpectedly acquired the highly coveted Beast Taming Art, which the Taoist sect had intensely sought. However, instead of joy, he rely sighed for those from a thousand years ago…
An altruistically foresighted Mo Family cultivator.
A Myriad Beasts Sect Master who, after being bitten, realized his error too late.
A patient yet rebellious Golden Ape that eventually unleashed carnage.
A Taoist elder who triggered this tragedy in pursuit of Beast Taming Art.
Who was right? Who was wrong? Who was good? Who was evil?
Everyone had their own reasons, yet all were inevitably led towards their destined fate, as it was in the Cultivation World a thousand years ago…
Reflecting for a mont, Xu Fan quickly refocused on the book.
Qing Xuan was able to control exotic beasts, indicating the Taoist sect likely acquired a portion of the Beast Taming Art from a Myriad Beasts Sect disciple, though probably not in entirety, rely a fragnt.
Now, the complete Beast Taming Art lay peacefully before Xu Fan's eyes.
