"The image of the Beast God in the Ancestral God Sect is different from that in the True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword. However, according to the records inside the Virtual Universe Company, in a cosmic era, only one Innate Beast God of each attribute will be born."
Just like the Innate Beast God of this cosmic era, such as the Light and Time Beast God on Viska Star, and the Gold and Space Beast God of the Blood Luo World, they have long since perished.
The Guardian Beast God of the Ancestral God Sect are likely all Beast God who were cultivated later in life. Beast God are the highest level of beings who have inherited the complete Beast God Inheritance Path of the Beast God.
There are three conditions for succeeding to the Beast God: first, obtaining the complete Beast God Inheritance; second, cultivating to the level of Universe Master; and third, there is no other Beast God of the same attribute. The Guardian Beast God, however, has received the complete Beast God Inheritance and cultivated to the level of Universe Master, but because the current Beast God is alive and unwilling to succeed to the Beast God's position.
The Ancestral God Sect has invested a great deal of resources to ensure the successful completion of the Beast God Inheritance, so naturally they wouldn't let them leave easily. That's why they established the position of Guardian Beast God to retain them.
The core of the Ancestral God Sect is the Ancestral God Palace of the Three Ancestor Gods. Outside the Ancestral God Palace are the Eight Beast Gods, and outside the Beast God Hall are more than a dozen Guardian Beast God Hall.
This shows that within the Ancestral God Sect, there are at least twenty powerful beings at the level of Universe Master, including the Three Ancestor Gods, the Eight Beast Gods, and more than a dozen Guardian Beast God.
"The images of the Beast God- level beings in the temple are all engraved around the temple, but I have looked at all the statues and found none that are similar to the statues inside the True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword. Could it be that they are really not Beast God of this universe era?" Zhang Junbao became even more certain of his guess.
In this cosmic era, no top-tier Treasure Refiner has ever been known to possess such boldness as to use the essence of the Eight Beast Gods as a component of Supreme Treasure. If such Treasure Refining refiner existed, the Master of Craftsman God could not possibly be unaware of it.
Back when they were on Craftsman God Star, the Master of Craftsman God had also seen Zhang Junbao's True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword, but he couldn't see through the forging techniques or the person who made it.
Moreover, the eight Beast God Statue among them are very likely to be from the same source as the Beast God Statue in the Miniature Universe of the Starry Sky Behemoth Progenitor. They are all remnants of the Secret Pattern Diagram School from that time and are not products of this cosmic era.
Just as Zhang Junbao was pondering, an incomparably domineering and chilling pressure suddenly descended upon the temple, instantly enveloping the entire palace.
Luo Feng, True Yan King, and the others immediately opened their eyes and respectfully stood up.
Zhang Junbao also turned around and looked up at the sky.
" The Guardian Beast God has arrived!" As they stood up, the black-robed humans from before had already entered the main hall.
"Come in!" A slightly high-pitched voice pierced through people's hearts, echoing from the main hall.
As Zhang Junbao and his companions entered the main hall, they saw a figure reclining on the high throne. It was a strange creature resembling a dragon, with wings on its back and a dragon head looking down at them.
Its body was covered with a strange armor, and flames bloomed on the surface of the armor, making Zhang Junbao and the others feel as if they were in an endless Flame World.
" Guardian Beast God who has mastered fire and space?" Zhang Junbao thought to himself, "This appearance does bear some resemblance to the Yinglong from ancient Earth legends; it's quite wondrous."
"From this moment forward, you are the inheritors of Bauhinia Island," a slightly raised voice emanated from the dragon's head. "First, I grant you permission to enter the ' Glory World '."
As soon as he finished speaking, an object resembling Optical Computer appeared out of thin air in front of Zhang Junbao and the others. It was clearly the virtual world connector of the Ancestral God Sect.
"I also grant you permission to enter the ' Inheritance Land,' the ' Treasure Land,' and the ' Secret Realm Land.' The three water curtains outside the palace are the passages into them; you may explore them on your own."
" The Inheritance Land is where you receive the Beast God Inheritance and where your Law Comprehension is tested."
" The Treasure Land is the place where powerful beings among the Beast God, Guardian Beast God, Beast God Inheritor of our Ancestral God Sect have hidden their treasures."
There are vast treasures there, and many powerful figures have set their own requirements. As long as the requirements of these powerful predecessors are met, the treasures will automatically appear.
" The Secret Realm Land where, if you wish to explore the Ancestral God Secret Realm, you can follow this passage to enter its depths. The Ancestral God Secret Realm is the most favored by the Universe Origin of the universe and has the most Special Lifeform forms. It also contains many mysterious treasures and materials, and even the Heavy Treasure and Supreme Treasure treasures naturally formed in the universe are hidden within it."
However, the Ancestral God Secret Realm is also the most dangerous secret realm. The more Heavy Treasure, the higher the danger. Even Universe Venerable may perish there, and Universe Master may be trapped within. Countless inheritors have perished there throughout history. Therefore, anyone who wishes to explore this Secret Realm Land must be prepared to die.
" The Inheritance Land, the Treasure Land, the Secret Realm Land, and the Glory World —these are the four places you need to familiarize yourself with during your inheritance on Bauhinia Island."
"Go, first build a dwelling, then head to the Inheritance Land."
"Yes, Island Master."
Zhang Junbao and the others bowed and then left.
The five arrived at the location designated by the Venerable the Feicang Race to build their dwellings, as this would be their place of residence for the next thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.
Without hesitation, Luo Feng used the World Power within his body to build a large courtyard in the style of a Jiang Nan garden.
" Luo Feng, your skill level is impressive. Even the best construction masters on Earth wouldn't be this good," Thunder God said with a smile.
"What, do you want me to build one for you too?"
"What a joke! Before I became the master of the Thunder Dojo School on Earth, I was a famous young nobleman. What don't I know?" With that, Thunder God used the World Power to condense a domed building with a distinctly India style.
" Thunder God, after all these years, haven't you had enough of being a monk yet?" Zhang Junbao laughed after seeing this.
"Hehe, this is the style of my hometown. Although it's different from your Huaxia, it's still very suitable for cultivation."
"Look, Brother Hong's mansion is quite similar to his residence on Earth."
"Hehe, although our current strength has long surpassed that of the ancient sages of Earth, the wisdom they left behind can still be of use. This kind of simple and ancient garden architecture is endlessly fascinating and is most suitable for cultivating one's mind and comprehending the Law." Hong said with satisfaction as he looked at his mansion.
" Junbao, what about yours?"
Luo Feng and the others then discovered that Zhang Junbao's mansion had not yet begun construction.
"While mortal gardens are nice, how can they compare to the abode of immortals?"
As he spoke, Zhang Junbao waved his hand, and pavilions, terraces, and flowing springs gradually took shape, with wisps of smoke swirling around them. One could even see Zhang Junbao taking out several crane-like birds from his Internal World and placing them within. Because Zhang Junbao used the method of refining spatial artifacts, his mansion appeared much larger than it appeared from the outside.
On Bauhinia Island, it is permissible for other life forms, such as Soul Slave and pets, to appear within one's own residence, as long as they do not leave the residence, they will not be attacked.
Compared to his mansion, the landscape gardens of Luo Feng and the others were truly just ordinary things, looking even a bit lower in class.
" Junbao, you really know how to play! You even created a fairyland from mythology. I should have made one too," Luo Feng said regretfully.
"It's not difficult for you to rebuild it now!"
"Let's forget about it. The fairyland doesn't suit my state of mind. I'm fine as I am now," Luo Feng said helplessly.
True Yan King was painstakingly building a large palace nearby, suddenly felt that his own palace was not so appealing when he saw the residences of the four of them.
"You... this..." He scanned the four dwellings with his Divine Power and discovered that each had its own unique features, giving him an indescribable sense of wonder.
"Teacher, you can't appreciate the wonders of my hometown's culture just by observing with Divine Power. Let's go inside and take a look." Luo Feng led True Yan King into his garden.
Although True Yan King had been traveling the universe for many years, this was the first time he had seen such a strange architectural style.
"Could this be the unique style of civilization that arises from the extremely rapid progress of self-cultivation on Earth?"
"Perhaps. I did leave you a manor on Earth, teacher. All the geniuses of your Kahuns Race are not far from that manor. You can come and visit Earth when you have time."
To express his gratitude to True Yan King, Luo Feng specially reserved an Earth estate for him and also gave him 10,000 places to cultivate geniuses on Earth. However, True Yan King True Yan King been in seclusion in Chaos City for many years and has never truly set foot on Earth.
"And what's that next door?" True Yan King asked curiously, drawn by Zhang Junbao's residence.
"This is Junbao's residence. According to Earthly standards, it should be called a fairyland. Ours can only be considered mortal buildings, but Junbao's is definitely a place of immortals, making mortals extremely envious!"
True Yan King's lips twitched. He finally understood why the Demon Lord Luan Shen had been furious before they went to the Ancestral God Sect. Compared to these younger generations, he was probably about to be surpassed.
"Build me a garden like yours too." With True Yan King completely obliterated the palace he had painstakingly built.
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious!
After completing the mansion, Zhang Junbao and his companions arrived at the square in front of the palace of the Bauhinia Island Master.
"Let's go check out the Inheritance Land first. That's why we came to the Ancestral God Sect!"
"Kindness!"
Luo Feng and the others nodded emphatically. The long-awaited inheritance of the Path of the Beast God was finally about to arrive.
Zhang Junbao and his companions suddenly felt a terrifying pressure envelop them before they could even make out their surroundings.
"Boom!"
An oppressive force even more terrifying than a neutron star pressing down on him swept over him, accompanied by a soul-shaking pressure.
" Aurora King, Blade River King, Illusion Heart King, Purple Firmament King, and True Yan King!"
"Hahaha, this time our Human Race has actually sent five inheritors at once, what a grand gesture!"
On a floating meteorite in the void, sat a powerful figure clad in purple armor, a member of the Werewolf Race, one of the larger branches of the Human Race.
The Werewolf Race expert looked surprised when he saw Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng.
"Greetings Jiu Feng Venerable," True Yan King said respectfully.
Zhang Junbao and the others didn't recognize him, so True Yan King introduced him telepathically, "He is one of the Seven-Star Overlord of our Human Race, equivalent to the Lord of the Tian Shi Palace Master. He has received the complete Divine General Inheritance!"
Luo Feng and his companions were secretly surprised.
The ultimate limit of a complete Divine Envoy Inheritance is to Invincible King; the ultimate limit of a complete Divine General Inheritance is to become Universe Overlord; only a complete Beast God Inheritance can make Universe Master and contend for the position of Beast God.
"I received a message from the clan, asking me to take good care of the newly arrived inheritors. I didn't expect there to be five of them. Besides the True Yan King, are the other four of you really World Lord? This is unbelievable!"
"This Inheritance Land is a vital site for the Ancestral God Sect's lineage, and naturally possesses a powerful pressure—a pressure that is applied to the divine body Soul Imprint. Without the strength to be granted the title of King Rank, one would likely perish directly."
"Rumor has it that the four of you are the four top-tier World Lord of our Human Race. I really can't imagine that the geniuses of our Human Race have become so powerful?" Jiu Feng Venerable said in surprise when he saw that Zhang Junbao and the other three did not seem to feel much pressure here.
"Hehe, Jiu Feng Venerable, it's normal for rumors to circulate that the Alien Race still harbor ambitions to Undying our Human Race. The fact that we can stand here means we are qualified to receive the inheritance, and I think that's the most important thing." Zhang Junbao neither admitted nor denied it.
"Haha, I was overthinking it. Some Alien Race races are truly malicious; they'll use any means necessary to eliminate my Human Race geniuses. Let me introduce you to this Inheritance Land."
"Do you see that black mist? Enter the black mist, and you can begin to receive the inheritance."
Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and True Yan King all nodded and looked around. This void was extremely strange; neither Divine Power nor World Power could detect it, and the surroundings were completely shrouded in black mist.
"Um... Jiu Feng Venerable, if you wish to receive multiple inheritances of the Path of the Beast God, what should you do?" Zhang Junbao asked at this moment.
This isn't his fault. Others only need to accept one kind of Path of the Beast God inheritance, so they can just enter naturally. But he has five Beast God Inheritance Token, so Zhang Junbao doesn't know which kind of Path of the Beast God he will accept when he enters the black mist.
"Multiple Path of the Beast God?" This was the first time Jiu Feng Venerable had heard such a question in all his years with the Ancestral God Sect.
The inheritance of even one Path of the Beast God has already stumped countless geniuses and powerful individuals. The Aurora King before us actually wants to accept multiple inheritances—has he gone mad?
"Do you possess more than one Beast God Inheritance Token? How could a clan bestow multiple Inheritance Token upon one person?" Jiu Feng Venerable asked in surprise.
"Actually, I got this myself."
Without wasting any words, Zhang Junbao directly took out five Inheritance Token, leaving Jiu Feng Venerable dumbfounded.
"Are there really five Inheritance Token?"
Even for Universe Overlord like him, obtaining so many Inheritance Token could only be a matter of luck. How did Zhang Junbao manage to get them all?
"That's true."
"This is the first time I've seen something like this. The ultimate Path of the Beast God leads to the Universe Master. You need to know how many Universe Master there are in total. To be able to walk one of these paths and become Universe Master is already extremely fortunate. Young man, don't be too greedy."
"The cultivation method I practice is rather special; the Path of the Beast God inheritance is only used as a reference, and the higher-ups of the clan are aware of this."
"..."
The clan's higher-ups are powerful beings at the level of Universe Master; even they agree with Zhang Junbao's actions, so what can he say?
" The Inheritance Land can recognize the aura of your cultivation. If you are cultivating multiple Path of the Beast God, I suggest you put away your other Inheritance Token and take out the Inheritance Token of the attribute you wish to receive the inheritance from. This will allow the Black Mist to identify you," Jiu Feng Venerable said helplessly.
Why is it that even the geniuses in our clan nowadays have such peculiar ways of receiving inheritances, creating a kind of decision paralysis? Others struggle to obtain even a Beast God Inheritance Token, yet they don't have this problem at all!
"I see, thank you Jiu Feng Venerable!"
Zhang Junbao took out the Inheritance Token of the Time Law. This was the most fundamental Law he had cultivated since the beginning, and it was also the Path of the Beast God that he believed could connect with the Space Law.
