Chapter 997: Heavenly Beast Mountain
“Thank you so much, Master’s Senior Bai!” Liu Ming was overjoyed by that. He hurriedly accepted the talisman and bowed deeply.
Then, he didn’t stay here for long.
“Elder Bai, it’s rare to see you being so generous. You even gave the token of Elder Huo from the Heavenly Beast Mountain. Are you still thinking about that scorpion?” After Liu Ming left, the burly man with short hair grinned and said.
“Nonsense, am I the kind of stubborn person? Yin Jiuling helped me a few years ago, so I helped his disciple in return for that favor!” The horse-faced old man snorted and walked away.
The burly man with short hair shook his head, then he launched several symbols. The ground flashed with yellow light; the traces of the battle between Xie’er and the three crown golden chicken were quickly cleaned up.
…
After leaving Spiritual Beast Garden, Liu Ming did not return to the cave house, but he went directly to the teleportation hall and left the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range.
You Province, where Heavenly Beast Mountain was located, was located in the southwest of the Middle Sky Continent; it was thousands of miles away from Thousands Spirit Mountain Range. Liu Ming traveled day and night on the Daiyue Jade Boat and spent a huge sum of spirit stones to use teleportation arrays of various major forces, but it still took more than a month to reach.
Outside the Heavenly Beast Mountain, a white flying boat came from the distant horizon. Liu Ming, on the jade boat,had put on Taiqing Sect’s disciple costume.
He looked at the Heavenly Beast Mountain with shock.
Hundreds of meters in front, a huge mountain peaked into the sky. Half of the mountain was shrouded by high-alt.i.tude clouds.
This mountain was the tallest mountain that Liu Ming saw after coming to the Middle Sky Continent. The area of the mountain alone was hundreds of miles. It was like a giant standing in front of him. The words ‘Heavenly Beast Mountain’ were carved from top to bottom on the mountain peak. Each word was about 3000 meters in size, which looked extremely magnificent.
Behind the tall peak, there was a low and continuous mountain range. It was the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range where the Heavenly Beast Mountain Sect was located.
He was in a trance looking at the mountain while a white bird beastkin several meters in size flew over from the giant peak. A young man in a blue robe stood on the bird’s back, looking at Liu Ming with a slightly vigilant look.
“May I know senior’s name? This is where the gate of Heavenly Beast Mountain is located. If you have nothing to do, please don’t stay.” The young man had only the cultivation of the Condensation Period. He stopped 30 meters away from Liu Ming and said indifferently.
“I’m Taiqing Sect’s Liu Ming, I’m here today to visit Elder Huo Can of your sect.” As Liu Ming said, he took out the Taiqing Sect’s inner disciple token, hung it on his waist and said expressionlessly.
“Oh, it turned out to be Senior Liu of the Taiqing Sect. Please wait at the reception hall for a moment first.” The young man saw the token in Liu Ming’s hand, and he bowed solemnly.
Liu Ming nodded slightly and followed the young man around the towering peak. Not long after, they came to a white jade square on the back half of the mountain. The square was surrounded by gorgeous buildings.
The young man led Liu Ming into the private room of 1 of the building. The doors, windows, seats were very particular and meticulously crafted.
As soon as he sat down, a servant immediately served spiritual tea and fruits.
Seeing the respectful att.i.tude of the young servant, Liu Ming sighed secretly in his heart. The t.i.tle of the four ancient sects is really good!
“Senior Liu, don’t be offended. Elder Huo Can is currently in retreat. He usually doesn’t see outsiders. I wonder if senior has a token?” The young man did not sit down, but he stood a few steps in front of Liu Ming and said embarra.s.sedly.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and took out the talisman given to him by Elder Bai.
“So you have our Thousand Beast Talisman! Please wait for a moment, I will inform Elder Huo now.” When the young man saw the ‘beast’ talisman, he respectfully took the talisman and left the room.
Liu Ming was moved after seeing the change in the young man’s expression.
It seemed that this talisman had some origin, but he didn’t go deep into it. He just waited quietly.
The spiritual tea prepared by Heavenly Beast Mountain had a hint of bitterness in the sweetness, and there was an aftertaste in the mouth.
As for whether he could see that Elder Huo Can, he was not too worried.
Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, the young man hurried in.
“Sorry for the wait, Senior Liu. Please come with me. Elder Huo has promised to meet.”
“Please lead the way.” Liu Ming was filled with joy. He stood up and said without hesitation.
The young man brought Liu Ming out of the building. This time, he didn’t release the spiritual bird, but he rode a cloud toward the depths of the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range.
Liu Ming curiously observed the surrounding scenery along the way.
Like the Taiqing Sect, Heavenly Beast Mountain built the sect between the mountains. After all, mountains were the easiest to condense the spirit of heaven and earth. There were also many buildings on the towering peaks. From time to time, the disciples in the blue costumes of the Heavenly Beast Mountain shuttled back and forth.
Almost all the disciples of Heavenly Beast Mountain used spiritual beasts to travel, and their bodies were covered with spiritual beast bags of various colors.
At the bottom of the mountain, there were spherical enchantments and light curtains. These formations were tens of miles in size, and there were small ones with a few miles. They were of different colors. From a high alt.i.tude, they looked like giant mushrooms emerging from the ground, flickering one after another.
This situation was somewhat similar to the Taiqing Sect Spiritual Beast Garden, but the scale here was far more spectacular than the Spiritual Beast Garden.
“Your sect is a sect that mainly controls beasts. Are the enchantments the place to keep spiritual beast?” Liu Ming asked indifferently.
“Senior Liu is right. Because these beastkins have different living habits. In order to improve their survival rate, we can only divide some areas in different environments and cover them with special enchantment.” The young man said with some contentment.
Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded secretly, silently channeling spiritual power in his eyes to try to see the spiritual beasts in the enchantments.
But his spiritual power couldn’t go through any of the enchantments, and there was a white mist sound to block his vision.
He was really surprised, but he understood it after a while. The Heavenly Beast Mountain’s foundation was based on controlling spiritual beast, so they wouldn’t let outsiders see the spiritual beast so easily.
After understanding this situation, he did not continue to waste spiritual power in vain.
After 15 minutes, they came to a cave house on a mountain peak.
“Senior Liu, Elder Huo Can is retreating here, so I will leave first.” After arriving here, the young man turned around and said respectfully.
“Thank you.” Liu Ming said lightly.
After the young man bowed to Liu Ming, he rode on a cloud and left.
Liu Ming landed in front of the cave house, tidied up his clothes, and was about to bow to the cave house.
The door opened automatically, and a slightly old voice came from it.
“Cut the courtesy, come in.”
Liu Ming stepped into the cave house, then the door was closed after a rumbling sound.
He glanced at the door behind him, then he continued walking in.
Behind the door was a s.p.a.cious tunnel. After walking past, a s.p.a.cious hall appeared in front of him. An old man in a black robe was standing in the hall.
“Taiqing Sect Liu Ming, it’s a pleasure to meet Elder Huo.” Liu Ming walked closer and bowed immediately.
The old man in a black robe had gray hair, but he was quite tall. He looked at Liu Ming up and down before he sat down in the main seat and said lightly,
“Make yourself at home. Sit down.”
Liu Ming thanked him, walked to the side and sat down.
“This Thousand Beast Token was given to Taiqing Sect’s Elder Bai by me back then. Are Nephew Disciple Liu Elder Bai’s disciple?” The old man in a black robe raised his hand, then he showed the talisman and asked Liu Ming.
“No. I’m a disciple of the Fallen Serene Peak. I met Elder Bai by chance, and he gave me this talisman.” Liu Ming replied respectfully.
“Fallen Serene Peak, Liu Ming… It turns out that nephew disciple is the famous evil cultivator killer a few years ago. I really didn’t expect it.” The old man in a black robe said with a smile.
“It’s just some rumors. This time, I’m here to ask for Elder Huo’s help.” Liu Ming replied modestly.
“Nephew Disciple Liu, please say.” The old man in a black robe didn’t look surprised.
“I know that your sect is best in controlling spiritual beasts in the Middle Sky Continent, and your Thousand Beast Pavilion even has a collection of ill.u.s.trations and information of many exotic beasts. I take the liberty of requesting to look for some information in the Thousand Beast Pavilion.” Liu Ming said sincerely.
“Oh, Thousand Beast Pavilion…” The old man in a black robe’s eyes flashed.
“Yes, please accept my request.” Seeing this, Liu Ming stood up and bowed.
The old man in a black robe flicked his sleeve robe at will, and an invisible aura lifted Liu Ming up. He pondered for a while before saying slowly,
“Since you have 2 two spiritual beast bags , you should know about raising spiritual beasts, and you are also Elder Bai’s descendant, so I will of course accept your request. However, outsiders have to pay some spirit stones to the Thousand Beast Pavilion.”
