Ten Thousand Beast Stele (That's All for Today)

Time flies, and five years have passed.

A streak of Cyan Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards this location.

Not long after, Cyan Escape Light appeared above the Desolate Island. The Escape Light then dissipated, revealing a refined-looking man in a blue robe, none other than Ye Qing.

A gust of wind blew by, and a Red Falcon with a wingspan of ten zhang appeared—a fourth-tier early-stage Li Fire Falcon.

Ye Qing summoned a cyan shield, which spun around him continuously.

The Li Fire Falcon its beak and spewed out a thick stream of Crimson Flame, which landed on the blue shield, engulfing it in flames.

The Li Fire Falcon's talons struck the cyan shield with a muffled thud. The cyan shield flew backward and crashed into Ye Qing's Body-Protecting Spirit Light, causing Ye Qing to plummet rapidly towards the ground.

Before Ye Qing even landed, hundreds of Giant Fireball rained down from the sky, slamming into him one after another.

A tremendous explosion rang out, and flames engulfed Ye Qing's body.

A gust of wind blew by, Li Fire Falcon appeared, its sharp claws heading straight for the flames.

Just then, a burst of crimson light appeared, revealing a gigantic Crimson Flood Dragon with gleaming scales.

The Crimson Flood Dragon roared to the sky, emitting a piercing dragon's cry, and spewed out a Red Sound Wave that quickly passed over the body of the Li Fire Falcon. The Li Fire Falcon was sent flying backward, but before it had flown far, a thick, long red dragon tail shot out and accurately struck the Li Fire Falcon.

The Li Fire Falcon flying backward, its feathers falling off in large quantities, leaving it covered in blood.

With Li Fire Falcon unleashed a barrage of red feathers that transformed into countless Crimson Fire Blade, striking the Crimson Flood Dragon one after another and producing a series of muffled clangs of metal clashing.

Dense Cyan Vine burst forth from the ground and entangled the right claw of the Li Fire Falcon.

The Li Fire Falcon its beak and spewed out a burst of Crimson Flame, which landed on the Cyan Vine Cyan Vine, instantly turning them into nothingness.

A thick, long red dragon tail shot out and struck the Li Fire Falcon accurately. The Li Fire Falcon's body flew backward and crashed into a high peak, shattering the peak into pieces and billowing dust.

Thick, Cyan Vine sprouted from the ground, wrapped Li Fire Falcon, and bound it into a giant rice dumpling.

The Li Fire Falcon spewed out a Crimson Flame, burning the Cyan Vine to ashes.

A long Purple Rainbow shot over and swept Li Fire Falcon's head, causing it to perish.

As soon as a miniature Li Fire Falcon detached from its body, a beam of azure light descended from the sky, enveloping the miniature Li Fire Falcon and drawing it into Cyan Jade Bottle.

The Crimson Flood Dragon transformed into a tall young man in a red robe, none other than Shen Long in disguise.

He took elixirs to heal his injuries and recuperated for five years, until he was completely healed.

"Dragon Dao... Senior Dragon, thank you for your help."

Ye Qing sensed the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Shen Long and quickly bowed.

"Long time no see, young friend Ye."

Shen Long said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Senior Long has saved me twice. These two eight-hundred-year-old Li Fire Ganoderma are a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find them too valuable."

Ye Qing took out two exquisite red Jade Box and handed them to Shen Long.

Shen Long accepted the two Jade Box without hesitation.

He took out a golden jade box, handed it to Ye Qing, and said, "Here are two Golden Ganoderma Pill. Take them to heal your injuries!"

"Thank you very much, Senior Long."

Ye Qing expressed his gratitude and accepted the golden jade box.

"I've been Secluded Cultivation here in seclusion. Has there been any major news from the Outer Sea in recent years?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"The Seven Clouds Merchant Alliance is offering a large reward for the capture of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. A burst of Spirit-Severing Qi has occurred in the Spirit-Severing Sea. One of the Ten Immortals of the Overseas, True Monarch Golden Rainbow, along with three Nascent Soul Cultivator, entered Immortal Fallen Island to search for treasures. They encountered a Soul-Devouring Scorpion at the Late Fourth Rank. Only True Monarch Golden Rainbow escaped the calamity, his Nascent Soul abandoning his physical body to flee."

Ye Qing said.

That's all?

Shen Long frowned and asked.

It's strange that the Three Immortals Sect isn't arresting him.

"An elder of the Sun and Moon Palace was killed by the deputy sect leader of the Heaven Ghost Sect. The affiliated forces of the two major powers clashed fiercely, resulting in casualties on both sides."

Ye Qing added.

That's all?

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"This is all the information I have. There may be more important news, but my cultivation level is too low to access it."

Ye Qing said.

"I understand. You can go now. Be careful on your journey."

Shen Long gave the order.

Ye Qing responded and transformed into a streak of Escape Light.

Shen Long collected the corpse of the Li Fire Falcon, dispelled the Formation, changed his appearance, and left.

More than two months later, Shen Long returned to Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace.

He strolled around the streets but found nothing unusual before entering a small Blue-tiled Courtyard.

Shen Long took out a red Communication Disk, cast a spell, and Song Yan's respectful voice sounded, "Senior Shen, what are your orders?"

Has anything major happened in the Outer Sea recently?

Shen Long asked.

Song Yan told the truth; what she knew was almost the same as what Ye Qing had said.

"Understood. Let me know immediately if there's any important news."

Shen Long gave the order and put away the Communication Disk.

"That's strange. Why aren't the people from the Three Immortals Sect issuing a warrant for my arrest? Do they want to keep the Monster Luring Grass for themselves?"

Shen Long was talking to himself.

He entered the Cultivation Room, went into the Spirit Control Tower, and went to the second floor, where he transplanted two Li Fire Ganoderma into a small valley.

A loud roar rang out, and the Fire Qilin Beast flew in from afar, landing in front of Shen Long in a flash.

The Fire Qilin Beast was much larger than before, its body covered in red scales. It let out a joyful roar, as if greeting Shen Long.

Shen Long patted its head, fed it a Third Rank fire-attribute Demon Core and a Beast Rearing Pill, and arrived at the fourth level, where a vast and boundless sea came into view.

Shen Long whistled, and a deafening dragon roar rang out. Huge waves surged on the sea surface, and the Ice Flood Dragon flew out from the seabed and landed in front of Shen Long.

The Ice Flood Dragon spewed out streams of icy air from its mouth and nostrils, instantly freezing the seawater upon contact.

Shen Long fed it a Beast Rearing Pill and walked to the Ice Flood Dragon's head.

The Ice Flood Dragon roared to the sky and flew away into the distance.

Along the way, Shen Long saw many islands. He cultivated many spiritual fields on these islands and planted spirit medicine herbs and fruits. With his current cultivation level, the growth rate of these spirit medicine herbs and fruits could not keep up with his cultivation speed, so he could sell them to earn some Spirit Stone.

A quarter of an hour later, the Ice Flood Dragon stopped. There was an island in front of it, covered with lush vegetation.

"Huh, what's this?"

Shen Long let out a soft exclamation and flew down to a high peak in the northwest corner of the island. At the top of the peak was a blue stone tablet more than ten feet tall, with the three large golden characters "Ten Thousand Beast Stele" engraved on the top of the tablet, and a line of smaller characters below.

"The Iron Tail Scorpion has mutated to the late stage of the Third Rank. It has mastered Divine Sense Attack and possesses astonishing venom. Its Bloodline Purity is three. It can be fed highly toxic resources to aid its advancement. The Demon Core and Essence Blood of a high-level venomous scorpion are the best."

"The Spirit-Tracking Beast can lock onto an enemy's Divine Sense, thereby tracking and warning them. The tracking range is 100 miles. It is at the late stage of the Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of three. It can be fed the Demon Core of tracking Spirit Insect, Spirit Beast, and Spirit Bird to help them advance."

"The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox has a keen sense of smell and is skilled in illusion magic. No spiritual herbs or fruits within a hundred miles can escape its nose. It is at the late stage of the Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of three. Consuming illusion-type spirit medicine herbs and fruits greatly helps its advancement. The Demon Core of a high-ranking Spirit Fox is a great tonic."

"The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada can see through illusions, locate the core of formations, and probe within a hundred miles. It is at the late stage of the Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of three. The Demon Core of a high-level spirit cicada greatly aids its advancement."

"The Golden-Winged Wind Peng flies extremely fast. It is at the late stage of the Third Rank, and its Bloodline Purity has reached level four. Wind Attribute spirit medicine herbs and fruits, as well as high-level Wind Attribute Demon Core, greatly help its advancement, especially the Demon Core of high-level Peng Bird."

"Tree Man, skilled in Wood Element Divine Ability, late stage of the Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of three, and the Crystal Core of a high-level Wood Demon aids in its advancement."

"The Ice Flood Dragon possesses a powerful physical body and has mutated, reaching the late stage of the Third Rank. Its Bloodline Purity has reached level three. The Demon Core of a high-level Flood Dragon or ice-attribute spirit medicine and fruits can greatly aid its advancement. The Essence Blood of a high-level Flood Dragon or True Dragon can increase its Bloodline Purity, which will also greatly help its advancement."

"The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen has mutated to the late stage of the Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of three. She can be fed rare gold and stones or the Demon Core of high-level Demon Ant to help her advance."

"The Fire Qilin Beast has mutated to the late stage of the Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of three. It can be fed fire-attribute spirit medicine herbs and fruits to help it advance."

"Nine-Headed Ghost Dove, mid-stage Third Rank, with Bloodline Purity of four. It can be fed with demons and monsters, and yin-attribute spirit medicine herbs and fruits also have good effects."

"Three-Colored Spirit Flame, Third Rank, which can grow stronger by absorbing other Spirit Flame."

······

A strange look appeared on Shen Long's face. There was actually an extra Ten Thousand Beast Stele on the fourth floor of the Spirit Control Tower. The Ten Thousand Beast Stele recorded in detail the situation of the Spirit Insect, Spirit Beast, Spirit Bird, and spirit fire he raised, and pointed out the direction of their cultivation.

"The Ten Thousand Beast Stele? Shouldn't the Spirit Control Tower be called the Ten Thousand Beast Tower?"

Shen Long was talking to himself.

The Ice Flood Dragon evolved from a python, the Fire Qilin Beast evolved from Fire Rock Beast, and the Golden-Winged Fire Ant evolved from Gold-Eating Ant. As you've probably noticed, the Spirit Control Tower —no, the Ten Thousand Beast Tower— can increase the mutation rate of Spirit Beast Spirit Insect, Spirit Bird. Otherwise, the Iron Tail Scorpion, Gold-Eating Ant, and Fire Rock Beast wouldn't have mutated so easily. With the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, plus the protagonist's alchemy skills, the Spirit Beast Spirit Insect, Spirit Bird will become even more powerful.
