Chapter 1545: Hope
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The so-called Demon Beast Holy Land was actually located on the Ten Thousand Beast Island.
Although Han Fei hadn’t completely explored the Ten Thousand Beast Island, he had also used his soul to perceive it. Before, he didn’t find anything unusual…
But today, Han Fei found that on the Ten Thousand Beast Island, in an empty s.p.a.ce in front of a very flat cliff, a dense crowd of various demon beasts had already gathered here.
Among them, there were many demon beasts that Han Fei couldn’t recognize. There were leopards that emitted blue and white flames all over their bodies, foxes with wings, pythons with fluff, and boars with long feathers and horns.
Han Fei examined them one by one and couldn’t recognize many of them.
This was very different from the beasts Han Fei had seen in the Age of Doom. Perhaps this was the result of the evolution of the era. New species were born, and the old species died in the long river of history.
When Han Fei and Niu Dali arrived, the Venerables on the island were already in position. There were 88 of them.
Han Fei’s heart stirred. There were still a dozen Venerables missing. Since these Venerables weren’t going to the Life-and-Death Gorge, they should be going to the Forest of Terror.
Han Fei didn’t consider it a big deal. However, when he and Niu Dali appeared, a tsunami burst out among the beast tide.
“Look, the one next to Venerable Dali must be Grand Venerable Bull Demon King.”
“Hiss! I heard that the bloodline of Grand Venerable Bull Demon King is magical and he can perfectly transform into a human. It seems that he deserves his fame.”
“Slaying seven Venerables in three battles! Grand Venerable Bull Demon King has established his status as the strongest junior Venerable. Once he makes a breakthrough, his strength will probably increase greatly.”
…
Han Fei immediately attracted the attention of countless demonic beasts. Many people’s faces were full of admiration.
Out of Han Fei’s expectation, he felt a trace of power of faith.
Han Fei trembled. What was going on? When he was on the Scattered Stars Island, he wouldn’t feel the supply of the power of faith when there weren’t many people there.
However, on the Ten Thousand Beast Island, there were only a million demon beasts who could see him. Most of these demon beasts definitely didn’t believe in him… So, where did this power of faith come from?
For a moment, Han Fei was a little puzzled.
Niu Dali asked, “What’s wrong?”
Han Fei landed and said leisurely, “I’ve just never seen so many demonic beasts gathering. I’m a little sentimental.”
The old sheep looked at Han Fei casually, thinking that Han Fei was really a great liar.
The few people who knew Han Fei immediately approached him.
Ma Qilin said, “Brother Bull, this is the first time you’ve come to pay respects to the Holy Land. Maybe you can have an opportunity…”
Crocodile Iron said, “Hey! There’s no need to take opportunities too seriously. After entering the Ten Thousand Beast Tomb, don’t keep going deep unless you feel a summoning in your heart.”
“The Ten Thousand Beast Tomb?”
Han Fei frowned slightly. This sounded like a graveyard. Why was it called Holy Land?
Seeing Han Fei’s expression, Crocodile Iron immediately explained, “Well! When the strong masters of the past knew that they were bound to die, most of them would go there, hoping to pa.s.s on their skills. Later, many juniors obtained legacies inside. However, in the history of the Demon Beast Union, the Ten Thousand Beast Tomb was not used for pa.s.sing on inheritance at first. It was said that there were secrets hidden inside, saved for the person who could enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Tomb.”
Ma Qilin said, “Unfortunately, this person has never appeared. When we Venerables enter, we generally don’t get any opportunities. But even so, our exploration of the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Tomb has never stopped.”
Han Fei nodded slightly.
It was precisely because of its mysteriousness that he was interested. Different from others, he had the Vast Ocean Navigator in hand, so he could find a way out even if there was no road. If it really didn’t work, he could use the Nine Palace Luck Ruler to change his luck.
At this moment, Old Sheep’s voice echoed in the sky, “Everybody, be quiet…”
When the buzzing sound gradually weakened and disappeared, the old sheep said, “All compatriots of the beast race, the wors.h.i.+p ceremony that is held once every five years comes again. The Holy Land will be reopened, some people will obtain opportunities from it, and some are destined to not obtain anything. But these are not important… What is important is that when I made divination today, a mysterious premonition appeared in my subconscious.”
As he spoke, the old sheep glanced at Han Fei and the other Venerables, but it didn’t deliberately look at a certain person.
However, Han Fei knew that the old sheep was looking at him.
Everyone knew that Old Sheep was a diviner. Was it normal for him to foresee something?
However, the old sheep said, “I have a feeling that within a hundred years, we may find a way to leave the cage.”
“Hiss!”
“What?”
“Leave the cage?”
Instantly, the audience boiled. All the Venerables and explorers were in an uproar.
Next to Han Fei, Crocodile Iron, Ma Qilin, Niu Dali… Everyone exclaimed.
Fierce Lion was shocked. “Old Sheep, don’t lie to me. Do you really have such a feeling?”
Elephant Dun Dun roared, “Old Sheep, are you sure it’s within a hundred years?”
Crocodile Iron shouted in shock, “Is there finally a chance to leave?”
“Be quiet…”
The old sheep shouted several times, and when the beasts finally quieted down, he said leisurely, “I’m talking about a hunch. It’s just a possibility, but not absolute. My hunch is that in the next hundred years, some changes may happen to the cage. Or a demonic star may appear out of thin air to save us beasts from the sea of misery, but it doesn’t mean… we can definitely get out.”
“A demonic star?”
Many people began to speculate what the old sheep meant.
However, most of them were just happy. Something called hope that had been sealed in their hearts for a long time was ignited again.
When he saw the excited demon beasts, Han Fei knew why the old sheep said this.
After all, these beasts had been imprisoned for too long and needed hope too much.
The environment in the cage was extremely poor, and the living s.p.a.ce was limited. Countless demon beasts lived here just to continue their race. Every day, except for cultivation and fighting, there was nothing else to do.
Now, the old sheep brought hope to everyone. Whether this hope was true or not, they only needed to wait for a hundred years. Everyone could wait and see.
However, when Old Sheep told them about it, Han Fei felt great pressure. He said that within a hundred years, it was because Han Fei felt that he could grow up within a hundred years.
But in fact, Han Fei knew that it wasn’t easy to make further progress in the Venerable realm. He had already discovered it when he stepped into the Venerable realm.
Take the Ten Thousand Beast Island for example: he had fought a hundred Venerables in a row, slaughtered many Venerables, and fought a life-and-death battle many times.
Although he seemed to have reached the bottleneck of strength, Han Fei firmly believed that there was still room for growth in this realm.
His few years of growth was actually comparable to the hundreds of years of growth of most Venerables. After all, how many Venerables had a treasure like the Demon Purification Pot? How many Venerables could change the flow of time? How many Venerables could find hundreds of Venerables as sparring partners at any time?
In fact, Han Fei was confident because of Forge the Universe. Although he said it would take him a hundred years, after the time change in Forge the Universe, he could have more time to grow.
Watching the demonic beasts vent their emotions, the old sheep smiled and said leisurely, “You just need to wait. What’s coming will come eventually… Now, let’s enter the Holy Land in order. Venerables go first, explorers go second, and then the rest… If you don’t find an opportunity within an hour, come out immediately. Otherwise, you will get lost…”
When Old Sheep said this, Crocodile Iron also said to Han Fei, “By the way, you have to remember this. After entering the Holy Land, if you don’t feel any summoning or other opportunities within an hour, you have to leave. If you come out at this time, you can still find your way back. But if you don’t come back after an hour, you might get lost.”
Han Fei was puzzled. “Will there be danger?”
Niu Dali said, “It’s not dangerous, but you’ll get lost in an unknown barrier. Many Venerables have tried to stay inside, but they can still come out the next time the Holy Land is opened.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Even Venerables can’t find out about the secrets of this place?”
Ma Qilin shook his head. “I don’t know. My father once did this. He was already a Half-King and stayed in it for five years. When he came out, he said that he was completely lost in it these five years. It was as if he walked into a world of nothingness and didn’t even see a beast tomb.”
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. A place where even Half-Kings would be lost… Didn’t it mean that the Ten Thousand Beast Tomb was at the level of a king?
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Well, let me ask you, how long will this Holy Land be open?”
Niu Dali said, “The pa.s.sage will only be open for three days, and if you don’t come out within three days, the Holy Land will close. But generally, if you don’t come out in an hour, you won’t be able to come out in the next three days. However… you don’t have to worry too much about the danger inside. Although some people have encountered danger, it’s usually not fatal. Therefore, even if they can’t come out, don’t panic. Just wait for five years.”
Han Fei thought to himself, Five years? How can I delay such a long time?
He could leave the Scattered Stars Island for a year or two, but if he left for five or ten years at once, many people on the Scattered Stars Island would forget him!
After the old sheep finished speaking, the mountain began to shake. The huge rock wall began to twist, and a watermark-like film seemed to be reflected on it, as if it could be pierced through with a poke.
Ma Qilin said, “Brother Bull, go.”
