Chapter 365: Beast Scripture Inheritance (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What was the core resource of the True Treasure Pavilion? It was not the Beast Spirit Pool that could absorb the blood of strange beasts to increase one’s physique, talent, and cultivation strength, but the Beast Scripture Pavilion that could comprehend the final form of the scripture. This precious resource was not like a restricted item that could be enjoyed by every core member of the technique. Even the core members in the front of the Glory Ranking had very few opportunities to comprehend it.
Back then, in order to compete for the ranking on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Talisman Master Jing Yu of the Mountain Fire Hall wanted to apply to enter the Beast Scripture Pavilion, but Hall Master Shan Huo did not agree because the price he had to pay was too high.
Ever since Shen Ping entered the True Treasure Pavilion, he had been focused on studying the Talisman Beast Scripture and the Puppet Beast Scripture. The only time he went to the Beast Scripture Pavilion was at the Jingsi House. The Head Hall Master brought him to the Beast Scripture Pavilion to take a look.
Therefore, for the Beast Scripture Pavilion, Shen Ping was very curious and looking forward to it. That time, he had felt touched after watching for a short time.
There was no hesitation. The moment he received the message, he left the Fire Spirit Hall and rode the exclusive Seven-Colored Black Phoenix Carriage to the majestic floating spirit peak hidden in the special s.p.a.ce above the island. The Beast Scripture Pavilion was located here.
If the other core members entered the Beast Scripture Pavilion, they would basically be personally led by the hall master. During this period, it would be like going to the Beast Spirit Pool. They would not be able to see the scenery outside the Beast Scripture Pavilion.
But Shen Ping was different. He did not know the exact location of the Beast Scripture Pavilion, but the Seven-Colored Black Phoenix Carriage could bring him to his destination. Halfway up the mountain of the majestic floating spiritual peak, the phoenix cried out. It hovered and landed on the cliff at the waist of the mountain.
Boom. The array formation covering the surface of the mountain wall suddenly opened. It revealed an oval jade platform that was about 10,000 feet wide.
At the edge of the platform were stone sculptures with different patterns. These stone sculptures looked lifelike, but if one looked carefully, they would discover that their eyes were closed. Water poured down from the two sides of the cliff of the platform. As the mountain wind blew against it, it emitted a hint of coldness.
Shen Ping’s gaze swept across the room. A gentle laugh suddenly sounded in his ear. “Personal Disciple Shen is here.”
He immediately noticed Hall Master Yueling and the other 11 main hall experts standing on the jade platform. Without any explanation, he quickly composed himself and bowed.
Hall Master Chen Yao said indifferently, “You’re already a personal disciple. There’s no need to bow to us in the future. In addition, congratulations to Personal Disciple Shen. The main reason why the Head Hall Master called you here this time is to inherit the Beast Scripture!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hall Master Xing Ling beside him actually had a hint of envy in his tone. “The Beast Scripture is the core of our True Treasure Pavilion. It’s also the strongest cultivation technique in the five continents and four seas. Those who are not talented and have extraordinary potential can’t inherit it. Ever since the establishment of the True Treasure Pavilion, countless years have pa.s.sed, but there has never been a core skill member who satisfied the conditions. It’s really gratifying that Personal Disciple Shen can become the inheritor. You must cherish it!”
Hall Master Yueling smiled and said, “The two Fellow Daoists of the main hall are right. Personal Disciple Shen, you have to seize such an opportunity to cultivate the Beast Scripture.”
The other main halls more or less reminded him.
Shen Ping was surprised. He did not expect the inheritance of the Beast Scripture to be in the Beast Scripture Pavilion. However, he still hurriedly nodded seriously.
In fact, there was no need for the main hall masters to remind him. Any core member would cherish this opportunity, not to mention that he knew that the Beast Scripture was created by a human immortal cultivator and was related to the mystery of longevity.
“Alright, Personal Disciple Shen, go in. The Head Hall Master is waiting inside.” After Hall Master Yueling finished speaking, the eyes of the stone statues around the jade platform suddenly lit up. Immediately, beams of light shot out from these stone eyes and landed on Shen Ping.
The moment the light shone on the phantom of the strange beast, Shen Ping realized that the surrounding light suddenly dimmed. Immediately after, he was in a stone hall. Around the hall were stone walls carved, and every pattern was the various forms of the outline of a strange beast.
No doubt about it. This was the Beast Scripture Pavilion.
“Disciple.” A dignified and gentle voice sounded.
Shen Ping immediately saw the Head Palace Master standing in the middle. “Greetings, Master.”
After bowing, the Head Hall Master looked at the stone carvings and said softly, “Disciple, do you know who carved these murals?”
Shen Ping shook his head, but he still guessed, “The Immortal Dao expert who created the Beast Scripture?”
“It’s my master.”
Shen Ping could not help but be stunned. The Head Hall Master was already standing at the peak of the five continents and four seas. Her master must be an immortal!
As his emotions fluctuated, a gentle voice continued to ring in her ears. “Master’s talent in the Beast Scripture is astonishing. Although he’s not as monstrous as you, he’s proficient in all kinds of skills, such as pill, talisman, weapon, puppet, beast, and insect control. He’s the Immortal Dao genius most likely to comprehend the Beast Scripture.
“However, fate makes fools of people. For the sake of the five continents and four seas, in order to suppress the strange beast, Master finally died… He left behind these diagrams so that my True Treasure Pavilion could better nurture an inheritor.”
Shen Ping’s heart was heavy. It was not that he felt pity for the Head Hall Master’s master, but he felt that if such a powerful cultivator who might be an immortal died in the five continents and four seas, if the same calamity appeared in the five continents and four seas in the future, who would resist it?
“Disciple, after you inherit the Beast Scripture, you can often come here to comprehend the engravings and the essence left behind by Master.”
“Yes, Master!”
His voice echoed in the stone hall. The Head Hall Master waved her sleeves.
Boom.
The murals in the hall suddenly surged and then became empty..
