CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 242: EVOLUTION ACHIEVED, POWER TRANSCENDED

"However, it has not yet awakened the skill belonging to Holy Dawn Beast. Only when it truly awakens the skill can it reveal its Sacred Beast power."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Now that Xiaobai has completed its evolution, let’s go back and pack up. We’ll set off the day after tomorrow," the Great Elder said.

Lin Chen knew that the Great Elder was planning to take them to a new relic, he asked curiously:

"Great Elder, can you tell me now, what kind of place is it?"

This time the Great Elder continued to keep it a secret, saying: "You’ll know when the time comes."

Finally, Lin Chen returned to his residence with Xiaobai, and he eagerly conducted another test on Xiaobai.

Just as the Great Elder said, the biggest change in Xiaobai after this evolution was its different eyes.

During the Spirit Transformation Beast stage, Xiaobai’s two skills were astonishing. Lin Chen hoped Xiaobai would be the same in the Sacred Beast stage.

That evening, one person and three beasts rested collectively, only the Little Fox occasionally got up to check on the egg.

On the third day, Lin Chen packed his luggage and found the Great Elder, who took him back to the Tree Ancestor.

Seeing the Tree Ancestor again, Lin Chen respectfully cupped his hands, and the Tree Ancestor’s voice echoed in the air:

"Yu Xiu, that place is the root vein of the Spirit Academy, are you sure you want to open it?"

"We’ll trouble Tree Ancestor," the Great Elder cupped his hands.

Lin Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "Great Elder, you won’t trick me, right? I don’t want to become an eternal sinner of the Spirit Academy."

"Haha," the Great Elder laughed heartily: "It’s not that serious."

Saying that, a space door slowly opened, what appeared before Lin Chen were stone statues of people and Spirit Beasts walking upright!

"Terracotta Warriors?!"

...

Lin Chen instinctively uttered the words because the scene was too similar.

"What terracotta warriors?" asked the Great Elder.

"Nothing... nothing,"

Lin Chen wiped his sweat, quickly changed the topic, and asked the Great Elder: "Was this created by the Academy?"

"No," said the Great Elder: "There was a big battle in this spirit mountain, countless casualties, high-level Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts took action, causing the mountain to collapse, workers building the Spirit Academy accidentally found this place."

"Later, we excavated the entire area and found this place, turning it into a relic."

"You mean, these are ancestors?" Lin Chen came to a realization.

This is actually different from the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin King, naturally formed?

"Besides the ancestors, there are other Demon Beasts. After opening up the space, we found the spiritual energy here was very abundant, so we sealed it up," said the Great Elder: "The Spirit Spring, earth vein, heavenly thunder, energy you enjoy now actually all come from here."

Lin Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, no wonder the Spirit Academy has a continuous supply of Spirit Spring.

The real reason lies here.

"The reason we don’t make it public is, firstly, to prevent others from knowing the depth of the Spirit Academy, and secondly, these are the places where the ancestors’ spirits reside; disturbing them excessively wouldn’t be appropriate," the Great Elder looked at Lin Chen and said, "This time you’re special, because the Celestial Realm Mountain Conference concerns the future of the Cangling Ancient Country, so we’re letting you go in and enjoy it."

After hearing this, Lin Chen was also excited. The students outside enjoy only what’s leaked from inside, the spiritual energy here is the true core.

Then the Great Elder earnestly cautioned: "There’s no need for me to instruct your temperament much, but some things shouldn’t be overly greedy, cultivation is especially so."

"The student understands," Lin Chen said, at which the Great Elder glared again at the Little Fox, the latter clearly flustered, as it heard the Great Elder say that cultivation here could be rapid, its eyes turned into crescent moons, almost drooling.

Having been with the Great Elder for some time, the Great Elder naturally knew what kind of beast this Little Fox was.

"Go on," the Great Elder waved his hand.

Lin Chen immediately took the three Spirit Beasts, bid farewell to the Great Elder and Tree Ancestor, and finally entered the Ancestors’ Relic.

After Lin Chen went inside, the Tree Ancestor closed the space door. As the Great Elder prepared to leave, a voice suddenly sounded:

"It seems like you’re afraid of something?"

"This time at Celestial Beast Island, he outperformed everyone in the National Master’s Institute, obtaining a celestial-grade Spirit Egg," said the Great Elder.

"But he is still together with Bai Ling."

"The process doesn’t matter, the outcome is most important," the Great Elder said again.

"But he doesn’t show any sign of a summons of fortune." The Tree Ancestor was puzzled.

"That’s not what I mean..." said the Great Elder: "The development of history can’t be predicted by anyone, just like the recent peaceful time between Humans and the Demon Race, suddenly a Beast Tide breaks out, who could have anticipated it?"

"You’re eyeing Lin Chen, wanting to tie him together." The Tree Ancestor’s voice carried a hint of amusement.

Unexpectedly, the Great Elder said, "I heard Lin Chen met a Celestial Spirit Body in Jiuxing City. Why don’t you chase her? A strong alliance, anyway, you’re bored staying here."

The Tree Ancestor didn’t say anything more, but the Great Elder felt a large force that threw him out directly.

The Great Elder got up, patted his behind, looked around to ensure no one was around, then breathed a sigh of relief, and glared in the direction of the Tree Ancestor, saying:

"I’m doing this for your good."

Finally, he sighed, then left.

....

East

Desolate Realm

Humans have their own country, the Demon Race as well.

In the territory of Cangling Ancient Country, there are three major Secret Realms, namely Desolate Realm, Western Regions, Southern Wilderness.

The three Demon Beast Secret Realms are the largest, inhabited by enormous Great Demon Beasts.

These Great Demon Beasts are top-tier combat power.

But similar to Humans, the Demon Race’s top combat power doesn’t usually appear; those that do are usually master-level Demon Kings.

Now in the Desolate Realm, a gathering of Demon Kings, their purpose is the Celestial Realm Mountain Conference a year later.

The leading Demon King is a Dragon Scorpion, not large in size, but with eight tails behind it.

Dragon Scorpions are somewhat similar to Divine Foxes, but the Divine Foxes’ Immortal Beast form has nine tails, while Dragon Scorpions have ten tails.

"This battle, we cannot lose."

They weren’t speaking the Human language, but beast language.

The Eight-tailed Dragon Scorpion spoke, standing next to it was a dark Phoenix, also speaking in beast language: "The forbidden zones we painstakingly established cannot be so easily surrendered."

It was named Nether Phoenix, of the dark Phoenix bloodline.

Unexpectedly, a voice sounded at this time: "We can’t just talk without action; Humans aren’t weak these years, occupying absolute resources of this land, to defeat them requires combat power."

The one speaking was a Ghost Hunting Wolf King, its words displeased several Beast Kings nearby.

But the Ghost Hunting Wolf King just smiled, saying: "My son has already decided, personally participate, by then you won’t need to worry about the thirty-level arena."

Upon hearing this, the displeased emotions of those present subsided somewhat.

The Ghost Hunting Wolf King personally sending its son to battle was a signal of exertion.

But this son of the Ghost Hunting Wolf King had some connections with Lin Chen.

Back when Lin Chen and Bai Ling were pursued by a Unicorn in the Secret Realm, it was sent by the Ghost Hunting Wolf King.

The juvenile Ghost Hunting Wolf, after being heavily beaten and imprisoned by Lin Chen in the Spirit Academy, went back stronger, now in the Beast Domain, representing the young Demon Kings.

Talking about its son, the Ghost Hunting Wolf King’s face showed several glimmers of pride, saying: "This time, I purposely let it control its level at 39, so you don’t need to worry about the thirty-level arena."

During the conversation, the Nether Phoenix looked at the Dragon Scorpion King, asking: "Why not entrust this time’s forty-level arena to you?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Demon Beasts nearby took a deep breath.

This Dragon Scorpion King also had a son, accompanied by anomalies at birth, invincible since birth, undefeated to this day.

....

Entering the relic, Lin Chen looked at the terracotta warriors and beasts beside him, amazed.

These statues were lifelike, truly products of nature?

"Goo!"

The Little Fox poked Lin Chen, indicating these belonged to the Divine Fox Race.

Lin Chen looked, indeed it was a fox, with eight tails behind it.

"Judging by its appearance, it should be a Spirit Beast, an ancestor, you should pay respects," Lin Chen said to the Little Fox.

Goo!

The Little Fox mimicked a person, bowing slightly with folded hands.

Lin Chen looked at the other statues, finding cattle, bears, looking far from above, densely packed terracotta warriors.

At this moment, Lin Chen was certain.

This couldn’t be the craftsmanship of nature.

But what kind of thing created all this?
