Chapter 1206: Myriad Beast Diagram
However, few could finish this physique due to the resources required.
This treasury had numerous resources, not limited to Buddhist essences alone. It had dao, war, martial, fire, vapor, thunder essences...
These essences acc.u.mulated over the years and turned into lakes only available for humans with notable contributions.
Of course, Feiyun had access due to his current role as the ninth lord of Chaos. This was the main reason why he agreed to accept the position and represent the human race.
The reward was worth it because collecting the essences himself would take forever.
“Bam!” He raised one finger, creating a ma.s.sive arc. It slashed the sky like a blade and took down the eight formations in the air. Meteors rained down as a result.
The treasury had a total of thirty-six aerial grand formations and seventy-two saint formations. A saint would need several days to break through them.
Feiyun tested the physical power of his finger and took down eight aerial formations.
“Raw power is up around four times, I can pulverize that fourth city lord now.” Feiyun took a deep breath and recalled the beast souls back into his body.
A red-armored man appeared out of the ground and spoke with murderous intent: “Who dares destroy the treasury’s formations?”
Feiyun took out the badge of the ninth lord.
“Greetings, Ninth Lord.” The man got on one knee and greeted immediately.
“You must be a blood guard in charge of watching the treasury. I tested my strength earlier and broke the formations carelessly, please fix them.” Feiyun said.
“No need to be polite, this is our responsibility.” The man stood up, clearly an expert judging by his aura.
“I will be partic.i.p.ating in the conference soon and wish to transfer some essences.” Feiyun said.
“Given your contribution to the human race, you can transfer one billion essences.” The guard said.
This sounded amazing but it was only a lake of one thousand diameter - no longer significant to Feiyun’s current cultivation.
Nevertheless, this was a large amount given Feiyun’s lack of actual contribution. A city lord didn’t have the right to transfer all the resources. Otherwise, the fourth city lord would have taken everything from this treasury.
“If you can get a decree from the second lord, you may transfer up to one trillion essences.” The guard said.
“It’s fine, I’ll take one billion Buddhist essences for now.” Feiyun didn’t wish to ask for help all the time. He took out a boundary stone and gathered enough before leaving.
The man watched Feiyun’s departing figure and murmured: “So this is the number one genius, so much potential, thirty billion essences in one go. That was enough to produce ten pseudo-saints, I should report this to the second lord.”

Deep in the manor of the city lords in Chaos, the second lord heard the report from the blood guard.
“What, he has ten thousand beast souls that absorbed thirty billion spirit essences?” The second lord’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, he alone spent more than ten pseudo-saints. It is too much spending.” The guard kneeled in the middle of the palace.
“Utter rubbis.h.!.+ If I pa.s.s that sum to the top Heaven’s Emergence, I will have ten peak sixth-level within a century with saturated internal energy, but I’m afraid not one will learn a dao law, they won’t become pseudos-saints.” The lord said: “It requires diligence, determination, fearlessness, and comprehension. Reaching this point meant that they were all geniuses, but only one out of thirty could reach the pseudo-saint level. Now, what about the saint realm?”
“What’s the point of spending that sum to create ten peak sixth-level cultivators? They’ll just become food for the demons.” He went on.
The blood guard didn’t dare to retort.
“This brat is different, a pseudo-saint in less than a century, the second half-demon to break the curse in history, flawless talent and comprehension. He has the potential to become a saint.”
“Moreover, his energy is saturated yet he still absorbed more than a normal pseudo-saint. If I am not mistaken, he should be cultivating the supreme physique of the dragons, Myriad Beast Diagram. How strange, why does he have access to Immortal Phoenix Physique and Myriad Beast Diagram? I thought he came from a phoenix branch, now he is related to the dragons too?”
The lord’s speculation was accurate. Myriad Beast Diagram belonged to the dragon race but due to Feiyun’s dreams, he thought that it was an art from the phoenix race.
He still hasn’t fully escaped from the dreams because if he did, he would realize that phoenixes were birds and had nothing to do with beasts. The sages there wouldn’t create an art relating to beasts.
“He took another billion with him.” The guard reported then.
“Haha, I worry that he is not spending enough! Masters are created from resources, Emperor Xuanyuan needed ten thousand times more than the normal amount to reach the pseudo level. He became undefeated afterward, beating the Ancestral Dragon Monarch nine out of nine times.”
“Why do we keep so much in the treasury? We do so to let true masters use them, not pigs. Our race wishes not for another Emperor Xuanyuan, just another saint is enough. Feiyun might be talented but he is no match for Emperor Xuanyuan. Even if he only has a one-in-ten chance of becoming a saint, we will still give him all the resources we can.” The second lord was rather decisive.
“If his Myriad Beast Diagram still needs more resources, I can bring them to him right now.” The blood guard said.
“No need, the fact that he isn’t here to ask me shows that he is independent and has a plan. We do not need to interfere. Those capable of becoming saints are all like this, just leave him alone. Let’s hope that he’ll be able to grow from the compet.i.tion in Spirit Immortal World.” The lord knew perfectly when to act and when to remain pa.s.sive.

Feiyun transferred the essences back to Heavenly Kingdom for the cultivators here. It was better to let Feng Qingqing, Long Luofu, Heavenly Witchcraft G.o.ddess, and the disciples of Beastmaster...
One drop could boost a Heaven’s Mandate cultivator by one level. One billion was enough to let them cultivate for several thousand years.
This could be considered lining up his own pockets. Of course, all these other city lords were most likely doing the same thing with their faction.
***
As dawn approached, cultivators from all over the world headed for Chaos City.
In the center, an ocean spanned 800,000 miles and still had primal energy from the early period. Rumor has it that saints have built palaces here and left behind old legacies.
Alas, few dared to enter this place. Although its physical boundary seemed to be 800,000 miles, within were numerous hidden dimensions. Saint themselves didn’t want to take the risk.
Normally, human experts protected the area, not allowing anyone to enter. Today was different since it was the first day of the Myriad Race Conference.
