The Dragon God of Destruction
One of the 33 Realms of Heaven
Tianyu Star, Ancient Forest
The Ancient Forest was currently quite crowded because it was colored by the fights that took place here and there. On the road to the center of the Ancient Forest, the corpses of numerous spirit beasts were seen lying in the middle of the road.
Although the corpses that fell all over the place had reached the number of thousands, it was still a small number of the number of spirit beasts that were there.
Meanwhile, somewhere not too far away from the center of the Ancient Forest, no battle had taken place. However, if one were to pay close attention, anyone would feel suspicious that something was amiss in that place.
And it was true that there was something odd, it was because Jie Yan had enslaved a considerable amount of spirit beasts.
“It has been almost two weeks after the competency took place. There was no sign of the two disciples of the Fifth Elder which meant that there was only one tracking token to look for where I was.” Mumbled Jie Yan when he had just finished enslaving a middle stage Immortal Soul level spirit beast.
The number of Points he had this time was already in the top 15, far behind by the top-tier disciples. But Jie Yan was not worried at all. Just by taking out all the spirit beast cores that he controlled, he would definitely reach the first rank again.
But the spirit beast was more useful if it became an army. After that, Jie Yan would definitely earn extra Points after using all the spirit beasts against the other disciples.
“While the number of these spirit beasts is quite a lot, it is certain that if you meet someone stronger than Qing An, half of the spirit beasts that I control will fall.” Jie Yan let out a long sigh.
For spirit beasts that were at the same level as cultivators in terms of cultivation, spirit beasts were barely able to fight cultivators. What's more a higher level of strength.
“It seems that I have to control an Immortal Soul level spirit beast late stage.” Jie Yan muttered and decided that the current time was time to break through to the intermediate stage Immortal Soul level.
If it used spirit stones to break through, Jie Yan would not be willing for now as his foundation might be broken. However, it just so happened that out of some spirit beasts, he obtained information on quite a valuable resource.
Of course as someone who had the ability to control spirit beasts, Jie Yan would understand all the languages of spirit beasts.
“What's Jie Yan? Are we going to fight other cultivators?” Xia Yue'er asked in a bored tone because after dealing with Qing An, she was just relaxing the entire time.
“No, we will increase our current cultivation because with our strength, despite being aided by spirit beasts, it is not enough to face all high-level disciples. The spirit beasts that I control are extremely vulnerable to late stage and peak Immortal Soul level disciples.” Reply Jie Yan.
“Oh? Are we going to use spirit stones again? But the damn woman said that there would be a problem if we broke through in that way. Did he cheat us?” Xia Yue'er asked slightly suspiciously.
“No, we will not use spirit stones. That way we will use when our foundation is stable enough after absorbing the resources known by some spirit beasts in this forest.”, Jie Yan said.
“What power source?” Xia Yue'er was instantly excited because of course an increase in cultivation was a sign of someone becoming stronger.
Jie Yan did not immediately reply and closed his eyes. He also summoned a spirit beast that knew the way to where the resources were.
Not until two minutes later, a fairly small blood-red squirrel appeared in front of Jie Yan. Despite its small size, the squirrel is very good at speed, as well as some unique skills that can control the wind.
The reason Jie Yan was indeed that spirit star was of course so that he would not be caught controlling spirit beasts. Aside from that, the spirit beast was extremely expert at hiding its aura even though to Jie Yan it was almost useless since he had the Eye of a God.
“Pimpin the road.” Jie Yan's orders.
The squirrel spirit beast bowed slightly then directly moved from one tree to another towards where the resources were located.
Jie Yan on the other hand directly gave orders to the spirit beasts to follow from a certain distance. He also immediately moved to follow the squirrel spirit beast.
“According to what the spirit beasts said, the path to the place was very hidden, if it did not know the path, it might take weeks looking for it. However, if you know the secret path, we only need three days to reach that place.” Jie Yan said.
Xia Yue'er slightly complained because the place was far away.
Since Jie Yan along with Xiao Ziya was able to track down such a vast Area, there was no obstacle for him towards the place.
Three days later
Jie Yan who continued to follow the squirrel spirit beast put on a blank expression as the path to go was very strange. It seemed to be circling around in one area that was not too wide. Moreover, on the road to that place which was an underground cave, many spirit beasts were quite weak yet extremely dangerous as they were extremely expert at preying on the ground.
But with the controlling technique, Jie Yan continued to move unhindered.
“This place is really unpleasant.” Xia Yue'er said in a complaining tone.
Jie Yan did not care about Xia Yue'er's words. His eyes were now fixed in the direction of a place far away. The current path is already leading upwards.
Not long after, the light began to be seen the sign of the place to which it had arrived.
When Jie Yan stepped outside, he stared in amazement at the place. He now understood why the place was so difficult to enter or find.
“How can the water up there not go inside here?” Xia Yue'er was stunned for a while. He could not trace any charm. Previously when it was in the Underwater Palace, the charm in that place that blocked the seawater from entering was very clearly felt.
The place that Jie Yan entered was under a very dangerous lake. From inside the place, there were thousands of spirit beasts in the water that were always fighting, all of them were extremely strong, strength exceeding the level of an Immortal Soul.
Aside from that, countless terrifying vortexes were visible, when there was a corpse of a sufficiently powerful spirit beast approaching, it was instantly destroyed by the vortex. In other words, without a secret passage, the place was impossible for the disciples to enter.
Jie Yan stared towards the ceiling with slightly narrowed eyes. With the Eye of God, he could see the aura that was a concept created by nature itself, from a concept that could only be seen in such a special way was extremely powerful. He was convinced that it was created by a unique natural phenomenon.
“I did not expect that this place would exist in the Ancient Forest!” Xiao Ziya also walked out of the Soul Space as he said in a tone of astonishment.
“Do you know what this place is?” Jie Yan asked interested.
“Yes, a place like this can only be counted with fingers in all 33 Heavens. Although this category of places is the lowest, this can result in bloody battles if the high-level Star lords know it.” Xiao Ziya said.
“From records in ancient times, the reason why the universe was named as 33 Heavens, it was because of this place. Why do I say a place like this can only be counted with fingers, it's because a place like this is found in the amount of seven.”
“However, for someone like myself and the other peak rulers, they were convinced that this place numbered 33. This is why the universe is named as the 33 Heavens, it is because a place like this is a place of cultivation coveted by high level beings!”
“Given back what our father said earlier, the creatures from outside must have been eyeing this place. Maybe in one of these places, there's a very important thing. And this place is named as, Heaven Realm!” xiao Ziya said with a slightly excited tone as his eyes glistened.
Xiao Ziya had long since searched for a place like this. Although the quality of the Heaven Realm in Tianyu Star was the lowest category, it was still extremely valuable even in Xiao Ziya's own eyes.
“History Heaven?” Jie Yan and Xia Yue'er looked at each other in a bit of surprise that the origins of the 33 Heavens were due to the hidden places they had entered.
Jie Yan's gaze was fixed on a distant place that looked extremely beautiful. When tracking everything there, his eyes shrank sharply knowing that for him, it was impossible to explore the place easily because in many places, it was impossible to explore, many auras from the creatures made him feel like an ant.
