CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 52: THE VANISHED AURA OF THE BEAST GOD

Faith indeed can generate miraculous power, sometimes even reviving the dead.

This news, almost unknown among the human Dark Practitioners, has long been an open secret among the Dark Beasts and spirit wood of Holy-grade and above.

Upon hearing that Little Qing got into trouble, the Dark Beasts immediately returned to Fengdan County.

Yue Jinghua had roughly learned about the legend of the Beast God around the Xuan Beast Ridge from the village chief, and had obtained a map of the Xuan Beast Ridge.

The little Dark Beasts have started chattering with their unique method of communication.

"The Cannibal Small Qingpu is not a Holy Beast; the Power of Faith should not be very effective for it," Yue Jinghua learned from the Gold Eater Worm that Holy Beasts and superior Dark Beasts or spirit wood, having consolidated either a Holy Pill or Holy Core, can condense and absorb the ethereal Power of Faith and transform it into their own Cultivation.

"Roar roar roar, ugly, you are really stupid. Little Qing doesn’t have a Holy Pill or Holy Core, but it can steal them. As long as it seizes the Holy Core or Holy Pill, using it as its own works just the same," the Gold Eater Worm bragged, declaring itself the continent’s number one Divine Worm, albeit in name only. However, even when it was just an Ancient Egg, it had often heard about the survival of the fittest.

In the unknown continent, the competition and slaughter among Holy Beasts and Holy-grade powerhouses are even more fierce than among lower-tier Dark Beasts and Dark Practitioners.

Due to the inherent differences in grade, the acts of Body Seizing and plundering Holy Pills and Holy Cores occur occasionally in the Upper Plane to pursue more formidable bodies.

"Roar roar, I’ve already asked Her Highness the Snake Queen," the Gold Eater Worm glanced at the delicate appearance of the Golden-haired Gore and drooled, but recalling the deadly, icy snake breath she spat, the Gold Eater Worm shrank back, "She said there’s a trace of the Power of Faith around the perimeter of the Xuan Beast Ridge."

Yue Jinghua’s spiritual power is also strong, especially after she cultivated her Second Primordial Spirit, she became more sensitive to the special energy fluctuations of the Dark Beasts.

The energy fluctuations that the Gold Eater Worm felt, she felt them too; strong energies abound within the Xuan Beast Ridge.

The Xuan Beast Ridge, known as the Imperial Dragon Ridge, has dozens of peaks with traces of mercenaries, merchants, and adventurers, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless unexplored peaks harbouring some High-level Dark Beasts with terrifying Cultivation.

Speaking of High-level Dark Beasts, one cannot fail to mention the Five Saints Mountain.

The Five Saints Mountain, located in the middle of the Xuan Beast Ridge, stands the tallest and is home to the most powerful Dark Beasts. The five peaks are connected like fingers split apart, namely Golden Horn Peak, Wood Puppet Peak, Shuijiao Peak, Fire Phoenix Peak, and Earth Qilin Peak. It is said these peaks soar ten thousand feet high, and even occasional Dan Realm Experts who venture in do not dare to act recklessly, hence the area is known as Xuan Beast Paradise.

The energy fluctuations carrying the Power of Faith that Yue Jinghua and the Little Dark Beasts talked about obviously do not refer to those Dark Beasts in the Xuan Beast Paradise.

Those Dark Beasts are unattainable; even with an extra dose of Yue Jinghua’s courage, she would not be foolish enough to seek the cure for Little Qing Pu in the Xuan Beast Paradise.

She is currently on the outskirts of the Xuan Beast Ridge between Fengdan County and Bailu County at Kalan Peak, where the sought-after Power of Faith is also near.

Relative to the peak existences in Xuan Beast Paradise, that so-called Power of Faith is neither strong nor weak.

If it had been the Snake Woman Gore at her Peak, or if the Gold Eater Worm had been more vigorous, mastered the full set of Insect Extermination Technique, dealing with the owner of the Power of Faith wouldn’t have been too difficult.

However, at present, the Dark Beasts are all in an underdeveloped state, and Yue Jinghua has also, due to her Lifebound Dark Beast being poisoned, lost the use of her two great tools: Instantaneous Movement and Invisibility. The situation is not looking good for her.

"There is another thing, I cannot determine the whereabouts of this so-called Beast God," despite the difference in strength, Yue Jinghua still plans to lead the beasts into Kalan Mountain to search for that Dark Beast.

"Howl howl, I can’t confirm the location of that Dark Beast either," expressed the Gold Eater Worm helplessly.

Without the ability to confirm its location, finding a Dark Beast in such a vast mountain is no easy task.

"Bang bang bang," outside the house, a knocking sound, Yue Jinghua frowned, as she had already instructed not to see anyone in these few days.

Outside the door was a somber voice tinged with a bit of urgency.

"Nan Muyu?" Yue Jinghua recognized the voice.

Ever since the Beast God incident, the old butler Batesin, having aligned with Fengdan County, pointed out that there were traitors within Fengdan County.

Only then did Yue Jinghua realize that Nan Muyu had once considered betraying Fengdan County. After learning of this, Hongling had someone monitor Nan Muyu’s movements, and he supposedly left Fengdan County three days ago, thinking that he would never return, only to return alone to Fengdan County, and the first thing he did was come to see Yue Jinghua.

Nan Muyu entered, first giving Yue Jinghua a somber look, then gritting his teeth and kneeling before Yue Jinghua, "Lord, please save my family. I heard you are looking for the Beast God, I can take you to it."

Turns out Nan Muyu had been trying to find a way to rescue his family who were taken to Bailu County, having missed the last chance, he attempted to infiltrate Bailu County, but upon reaching Fengdan County, he learned that his parents and his less than a year old child and wife had all been taken away.

"They were taken to Kalan Peak, if I’m not wrong, it must be that bastard Viscount Mo’er, using them as sacrifices for the Beast God, aiming to strike against Fengdan County," Nan Muyu regretted ever believing in such a person as Viscount Mo’er.

"Why should I save them," Yue Jinghua didn’t immediately agree to his request, facing a former traitor, she wasn’t so magnanimous as to immediately forgive him.

"Lord, if you still hold my past offenses against me, I, Nan Muyu, will commit suicide before you after the matter is resolved, but my wife, child, and parents are innocent. They are people of Fengdan County, and you are our Lord," Nan Muyu indeed is a man of iron and dignity, even when asking for help, he remained neither servile nor overbearing, willing to bear his own mistakes.

This was also the first time he acknowledged Yue Jinghua as the Lord of Fengdan County.

"Rise, I will do my best to save them. However, we have a problem at hand regarding the Beast God around Kalan Peak. What do you know about it? And why can’t I track down its Dark Beast Power?" Yue Jinghua believed, since Nan Muyu had come back to find her, he must have a unique method for the search.

"Lord, you can’t find the aura of the Beast God because, in fact, it has no aura, it died thousands of years ago," said Nan Muyu with a grave tone.
