The Master of Beasts

Chapter 500 - 109:

The Five Elements Sect’s premises may not appear as imposing as the Heavenly Realm’s Myriad Beasts Sect’s base, but compared to its external appearance, the interior of the Five Elements Sect is absolutely extraordinary.

Both sides of the winding path are planted with numerous High Tier Spiritual Plants, which, though not yet at the level of Immortal Trees, are quite close. The key point is that all these plants serve to gather or produce Spiritual Energy, leading to an explosive concentration of Spiritual Energy within the Five Elements Sect.

The dew on the green leaves of the surrounding low shrubs is all Spiritual Liquid that automatically condenses due to the excessive richness of Spiritual Energy.

From time to time, one can see cultivators dressed as maids collecting the dew, and some young beasts that have gained Spiritual Wisdom absorbing the Spiritual Liquid to enhance their cultivation.

Wen Wan introduced: "These maids are attendants brought by the disciples of the Five Elements Sect; they handle various affairs so that sect disciples can focus more on their cultivation."

"In the future, you will also need to prepare some, as all disciples of the Five Elements Sect have some sort of industry."

"I see." Chen Jiuge nodded.

"Too bad Black Eye isn’t here; otherwise, he’d definitely say it’s a pity not to raise sheep here, look at how lush this Spirit Grass is." Dabai grumbled.

Yue Meng retorted grumpily: "Shut up."

Seeing these two beasts about to argue again, Chen Jiuge quickly changed the topic: "Aunt Wen, are we going directly to see Senior Eight-direction Saint?"

"Of course, given that the treatment between Direct Disciples and Registered Disciples is vastly different." Wen Wan smiled.

The premises of the Five Elements Sect may consist of only one mountain peak, but this peak is enormous; at least, Chen Jiuge and the others have been walking for a while and are still just hovering around the foot of the mountain.

Shortly after, the group stopped moving.

Looking at the nearby Transmission Array, Chen Jiuge was a bit speechless: "Are we using the Transmission Array to go up?"

"Naturally."

"But doesn’t the Transmission Array consume heavily?" Chen Jiuge questioned in confusion.

"It does, but the Transmission Array here is connected to the sect’s Spirit Vein, so the consumption is merely the natural loss from the Spirit Vein." Wen Wan explained.

"Alright then, you’ll come to know these things in due time; let’s go meet the senior brother first." Miao Pan finally couldn’t hold back.

The Eight-direction Saint, real name Lou Boxuan, was once a young child from a mundane family until the young Qingshu Great Sovereign encountered him and, noticing his remarkable talent, took him as a Direct Disciple.

In just thirty thousand years, Lou Boxuan not only achieved Heavenly Immortal status but also earned the title of Eight-direction Saint among the Heavenly Immortals. Today, he is half a step into the Golden Immortal stage and is well-known within the Five Elements Sect.

It’s said that if he hadn’t inadvertently let slip the opportunity to vie for the Core Disciple position back then, he would at least hold an Elder spot in the Inner Hall today; still, his status within the Five Elements Sect is incredibly high.

....

The residence of the Eight-direction Saint is quite secluded, giving off an extremely serene feeling.

A few quaint courtyards are connected, with a small pond in front where numerous Spiritual Fish swim around, and a valley behind where plenty of herbivorous Spiritual Beasts reside.

Whether it’s the courtyards, the pond, or the valley, they’re all filled with Spiritual Plants, the grade of which is rather respectable, nearly reaching the Immortal Rank level. This shows how profound the foundation of the Eight-direction Saint truly is!

"Senior brother, I’m here." Miao Pan energetically kicked open the wooden door.

A young man in a blue robe inside the courtyard, looking helpless, said: "Little Panpan, can you stop kicking the door? Cultivate, cultivate!"

Miao Pan snorted with dissatisfaction, saying: "I am helping you with things!"

"Nephew disciple, nephew disciple, come quickly."

Seeing the younger Miao Pan calling him over, Chen Jiuge awkwardly scratched his nose and bowed to the Eight-direction Saint: "Greetings, senior."

Lou Boxuan examined him closely, his vast Divine Sense gently sweeping over Chen Jiuge, a bit surprised he said: "You actually practice the Life Dao; we truly seem to be connected by fate!"

When the Divine Sense swept through his body, Chen Jiuge worried that the existence of the Chaos Pearl would be exposed inadvertently. Fortunately, it wasn’t discovered.

"Release those little Jade Flood Dragons." Lou Boxuan shifted the topic.

"Yes."

Nine small Jade Flood Dragons joyfully frolic in the air. A hint of reminiscence appeared in Lou Boxuan’s eyes, with emotions of joy and melancholy; it seems there is an untold story between the saint and the Jade Flood Dragons!

"When I first joined as a beginner disciple, I entered the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm and obtained a Jade Flood Dragon from it. Before I achieved Heavenly Immortal status, that Jade Flood Dragon saved me multiple times."

"Alas, alas, as age grows, reminiscing becomes a preference. Alright, you’re Chen Jiuge, right? I’ve heard about your performance in the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm."

"I cultivate the Wood Vein Cultivation Technique, and you’re on the Life Dao path; there’s no conflict at all. You’re skilled at nurturing Spiritual Beasts, and while I don’t understand much, I certainly possess a satisfactory supply of Spiritual Medicine."

Seeing Chen Jiuge still somewhat bewildered, Wen Wan couldn’t help but say: "Why not acknowledge your master?"

Chen Jiuge was overjoyed and immediately knelt thrice, saying: "Acknowledge master."

Lou Boxuan’s face showed a hint of a smile: "You are my first disciple; just make sure not to bring shame upon me."

"Your grandmaster is Shen Boyi, the Qingshu Great Sovereign of the Five Elements Sect, renowned for artifact refining. Later, I’ll visit your grandmaster to get you a good Lifebound Immortal Device."

Chen Jiuge was inwardly delighted upon hearing this, then recalled the Vajra Lock from before and brought it out, saying: "Master, when I was in the Lower Realm, I seemed to already have a Lifebound Magical Artifact."
