Chapter 988: The Sky Penetrating Bridge Is The Path Paved By Our Predecessors With White Bones
After the wall was pushed down, the demon beasts arrived at Rakshasa City under the lead of the leaders of the various factions and walked to a skysc.r.a.per called the ‘Demonic Power Test Building’.
When the usually fierce mercenaries saw this group of huge demon beasts riding crutches, they immediately walked obediently to the eaves on both sides of the street. They were afraid that they would be accidentally trampled to death by these super demon beasts.
The staff had built a square at the entrance of the building. In front of the square, there was a test device. The demon beasts had to undergo the demonic power test here and wait for the distribution of work.
“Red Viper Snake, a low-level demon beast. Demonic power test: poison attribute.” The staff member was a Grand Master expert. He stared at the small Red Viper Snake and was silent for a while before saying, “Your venom can take a person’s life in three seconds. I wonder if you’re willing to be a prison police officer outside the Beast Tamer Prison? If anyone dares to break out of prison, bite them directly.”
!!
Upon hearing this, the Red Viper Snake, who didn’t understand human language, stuck out its tongue at the staff member, as if it was asking something.
The boss was about to translate when the staff instantly understood what the Red Viper Snake meant. He said, “Are you asking about the salary and treatment? The prison policemen work three shifts for eight hours. They take two days off every week. Their salary is 10,000 spirit stones a month. They are provided with three meals a day and accommodation. Oh right, they also have a chance to travel abroad every year.”
Upon hearing this, the Red Viper Snake immediately slid to the front of the table and threw its tongue on the mud before making its unique signature on the employment contract.
What a good job.
Just like that, the Abyssal Demon Beasts found jobs that were suitable for them.
Only a third of the demon beasts were sent to the territories where the four races lived to work because of their demonic power. The remaining two-thirds of the demon beasts moved to the Jade Illusion Continent to live under the organization of the Beast Tamer Alliance.
Xiao Shu brought a group of demon beasts to the Jade Illusion Continent.
At Mo Xiao’s suggestion, Xiao Shu transformed the largest school in the Jade Illusion Continent into a demon beast academy. Mo Xiao was the princ.i.p.al, while Xiao Shu was the disciplinary director. A group of illiterate demon beasts had to come to school to study after work every day.
Although these demon beasts looked fierce and powerful, it would take them many days to memorize all the information.
There was a frog demon that was covered in mangy. It was born with a missing tongue and couldn’t p.r.o.nounce the word “two” no matter what.
It always p.r.o.nounced ‘two’ as ‘y-e-yei’.
It was a p.r.o.nunciation that Mo Xiao had never heard of before.
“What are you saying?” Mo Xiao held the book in his hand and frowned as he stared at the frog demon. His expression gradually became impatient.
The frog demon was only an intermediate-level demon beast. When it saw Mo Xiao, it trembled nervously.
Seeing that Mo Xiao had lost his temper, the frog demon subconsciously let out a cry. Then, it tried its best to correct its p.r.o.nunciation. “Yei!”
Mo Xiao couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
When Yu Huang came to the Jade Illusion Continent to look for Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao was training that frog demon one-on-one.
He repeated the word ‘2’ over and over again, and the frog demon’s p.r.o.nunciation slowly started to correct itself. Seeing that the frog demon was about to p.r.o.nounce it correctly, Mo Xiao was about to heave a sigh of relief when he heard the frog demon chant again, “Yo!”
Mo Xiao was speechless.
Mo Xiao kicked the frog demon out of the cla.s.sroom. The frog demon jumped out of the cla.s.sroom and heard Mo Xiao scold him resentfully, “Are you stupid?! You’ve lived for hundreds of years, but you don’t even know how to p.r.o.nounce ‘2’. How embarra.s.sing!”
What a bunch of idiots!
“Pfft!” This was the first time Yu Huang had seen Mo Xiao lose his temper, so she found it funny.
Hearing a familiar voice, Mo Xiao turned around in surprise and looked at the corridor outside the cla.s.sroom. When he saw Yu Huang leaning against the railing, he was somewhat shocked. “Ah Huang, you’re here?”
Yu Huang strode towards the cla.s.sroom and sat at the desk. Theh, she said, “Tomorrow is Xiao Shu and Yin Rong’s wedding. The Divine Realm Continent is too far from the Jade Illusion Continent. We plan to stay in a hotel and let Xiao Shu go to the hotel to pick up the bride.”
Nodding, Mo Xiao said, “Those two children are truly in love. It wasn’t easy for them to finally get married.”
“G.o.dfather.” Yu Huang stared at the formal suit Mo Xiao was wearing. In order to give off the image of a strict teacher, he even wore a pair of gold-rimmed gla.s.ses. He didn’t look like a teacher, but more like a superstar who was going to have a photoshoot.
However, the fingertips of this superstar were covered in traces of paint and chalk.
Yu Huang smiled and asked Mo Xiao, “G.o.dfather, are you planning to be a teacher here forever?”
Mo Xiao lamented in annoyance, “Being a teacher for a year will shorten your lifespan by ten years.”
Yu Huang couldn’t help but laugh again.
When she raised her head again, Yu Huang’s expression became serious. She said in a low voice, “G.o.dfather, there’s no more spiritual power on the Holy Spirit Continent.”
Mo Xiao was arranging his books and fountain pen. When he heard this, he paused.
Raising his head, Mo Xiao revealed a helpless expression as he said, “I expected this outcome when we decided to destroy the Central PaG.o.da.” Mo Xiao reached out into the air and said, “The spiritual power in this world has indeed disappeared.”
Accompanied by the death of the Creator, the spiritual power the Creator had given to the continent also disappeared.
Yu Huang said, “I went to see Dean Di a few days ago.”
“Dean Di.” Seeing that there was something off with Yu Huang’s expression, Mo Xiao frowned and said, “He’s already starting to age?”
Mo Xiao seemed to have expected that Di Ruofeng would age quickly.
Nodding her head, Yu Huang said sadly, “Yes, his body has become much more hunched, and a lot of the white hair on his head has fallen off. The feeling he gives me now is like that of a withered parasol tree.” After a pause, Yu Huang continued, “Not only him, but many old human Beast Tamers have also aged drastically as well.”
“The elders of the Yin Clan and the elders of the Sheng Clan also look very feeble.”
Yu Huang clenched her fists and said with a sad expression, “G.o.dfather, it won’t be long before the top powerhouses on the continent die.” She looked at Mo Xiao sadly as she asked, “What about you? How much longer can you live?”
Mo Xiao said, “I’m a nine-tailed fox. My lifespan is a little longer than that of humans, but…” He smiled calmly and said,” People will die eventually. ”
Seeing that Mo Xiao was already indifferent about life and death, Yu Huang suddenly felt relieved. “You’re right. I’m being too paranoid.”
It wasn’t a pity to die as an ordinary person according to a human’s normal lifespan.
However, at this moment, Yu Huang heard Mo Xiao say, “The old fellows can die, but you youngsters can’t just accept your fate.” Mo Xiao looked out of the cla.s.sroom and suddenly said, “At the wedding tomorrow, the prodigy Beast Tamers on the continent would all be back, right?”
Looking at the mysterious smile on Mo Xiao’s lips, Yu Huang was a little stunned. “G.o.dfather, are you hiding something from us?”
Yu Huang felt uneasy.
Mo Xiao patted Yu Huang’s head affectionately and said, “You’re familiar with all kinds of array formations. Tell me, among all the array formations, what is the most basic, simple, and unique array formation?”
Yu Huang subconsciously blurted out, “Sky Penetrating Array!”
“That’s right. On the first day you entered the Holy Spirit Academy and studied array formations, Professor Pupu An told you about this Sky Penetrating Array.” Mo Xiao stared at Yu Huang calmly as he said, “With the spiritual power of four Prime Masters and a thousand Grand Masters, you can form a Sky Penetrating Bridge. This bridge can at most carry 12 people to the Great World.”
Mo Xiao flicked his right hand, and a piece of white paper appeared in the void. The names of 12 people were written on it.
Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao, Xiao Shu, Yin Rong, Beatrice, Feng Yuncheng, Estelle, Donor…
This list gathered the names of all the Beast Tamer prodigies on the Holy Spirit Continent.
Looking at every name on the list, Yu Huang was shocked and she couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “What will happen to the four Prime Masters and a thousand Grand Masters after they form the Sky Penetrating Bridge?”
Hearing this, Mo Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at a piece of chalk on the table.
He said, “Chalks dedicate themselves to teaching students. Candles burn themselves to bring light to the world. Seniors naturally should pave the way for the younger generation.” Mo Xiao stared at Yu Huang with a deep gaze as he said, “The Sky Penetrating Bridge will be paved for you guys with their bones.”
Yu Huang was stunned.
“G.o.dfather, can’t you not do this?” In order to send them to the Great World, they had to sacrifice four Prime Masters and a thousand Grand Masters. How cruel was this?
Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “No. Just because we’ve lost contact with the three thousand worlds doesn’t mean that the three thousand worlds will never be able to find us. Don’t forget that the abyss rift and the bottom of the Time Valley are all mysterious areas that connect us to the three thousand worlds. The Great World is moving forward at all times, so if we don’t progress, we’re regressing.”
“What should we do if a powerhouse invades in the future?”
Yu Huang was rendered speechless by Mo Xiao’s question.
