Chapter 21: Set a Small Goal, the Future Army of Divine Beasts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Xi wanted to have an army of demonic beasts, but these were all assumptions for now. Everyone’s spiritual energy was limited, so it was impossible to contract demonic beasts without limits. Otherwise, it would be a mess.
Moreover, demonic beasts were powerful, so they possessed more spiritual power. Therefore, a person could only contract a few of them at most.
However, there was no such restriction on Gu Xi. He had an abnormally large amount of powerful spiritual energy. In addition, he had been influenced by the system. If an ordinary person was a small stream, a person with powerful cultivation was a river, then, Gu Xi’s spiritual energy was like an endless sea. He could contract as many as he wanted.
The spiritual energy on Mount Sanqing was abundant. In addition, no one had set foot here before, so there were also many small demonic beasts. Gu Xi made a prompt decision.
“Why don’t I give it a try now? Maybe I’ll even meet one with the bloodline of a divine beast.”
[System has detected the Rush Wolf.]
[7,542 flaws have been discovered. Do you wish to extract the flaws and repair them?]
[System has detected the Purple Lightning Bee.]
[4,546 flaws have been discovered. Do you wish to extract the flaws and repair them?]
[System has detected the Silver Lightning Sparrow.]
[5,698 flaws have been discovered. Do you wish to extract the flaws and repair them?]
…
It was a pity that although Gu Xi almost captured almost all the demonic beasts in the three pure peaks, he had not discovered any high-level divine beast bloodlines.
Even if the impurities were removed, the potential of these low-level demonic beasts would not be high. There was a clear upper limit to them, so Gu Xi did not waste his time purifying them.
“It seems it’s very difficult to find demonic beasts that have the bloodline of a divine beast. It can only be found by chance. One can see how precious it is.”
He knew that was lucky with the Familiar Beast egg.
Gu Xi was not discouraged. After all, Mount Sanqing only had such a large area, so it was normal that he could not find a beast with the bloodline of a divine beast.
“When I go out in the future, I’ll pay more attention. Surely, I’ll meet one eventually. Little Nine, just you wait. I’ll definitely find you a companion.”
Little Nine’s grape-sized eyes looked at Gu Xi as if it could understand human language.
Gu Xi did not know if it was because Mount Sanqing had been purified by the system, but he felt that he had a faint connection with the mountain in front of him. Everything around him was under his control.
When he came down from the peak, he found that Shen Tianyi had already come. There were people from the clan at the entrance of the mountain. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time, and he could even hear their conversation clearly.
He looked at the group of people standing at the entrance. They were looking at the enchantment in front of them. “The Sect Leader told us to wait here, but he didn’t say how long we should wait. In the end, he just left us here.”
“Should we go and ask about the situation?”
“Forget it, it’s better not to make decisions on our own. Don’t forget what the Clan Leader told us when we came out. Everything is based on the next Clan Leader’s will.”
“I heard that the next Clan Leader’s experience is quite legendary. He didn’t make a name for himself, but he shocked everyone with a single feat. I’ve never heard of his name before. Who would have thought that he would suddenly be chosen as the successor by the Clan Leader? I’m really curious about his appearance.”
Gu Xi’s presence in the clan was too weak, therefore, many people had never heard of this name. Thus, he was shrouded in a layer of mystery.
“Exactly. I don’t know him either. I thought the next Clan Leader would be Gu Qingyuan. Who would have thought–”
The moment the disciple opened his mouth, his companion beside him frowned and hurriedly stopped him, “Be careful with your words and actions. Don’t say such things again in the future.”
Hearing this, Gu Xi was quite surprised. He observed them closely and found that although there was some restlessness in the crowd, most of them were still extremely calm. Gu Xi was very satisfied with them.
These people were all elites that Gu Zhen’an had chosen to serve Gu Xi. Even the weakest one was at the Qi Refining level 5. One could imagine how much effort they had put in.
With them, Gu Xi was no longer alone. Regardless of whether they were loyal or not, as long as Gu Xi had control over their lives, he knew that they would be obedient to him.
A streak of light flashed past, and Gu Xi appeared beside everyone. They were so shocked that they hurriedly bowed.
“We pay our respects to Master.”
“From now on, you are my people. Regardless of your previous position and status in the clan, as long as you are loyal to me, there will definitely be benefits for you in the future.”
Everyone hurriedly responded, “We will definitely follow and be loyal to you, Master!”
Gu Xi waved his hand, indicating for them to follow, “All of you, follow me.”
When they walked in, the seemingly ordinary-looking mountains shocked them to the core.
The mountain retained its original appearance, many places inside had undergone great changes. The spiritual energy was abundant, but due to the lack of divisions, there was spiritual energy leaking out from various places. It could be said that there was a lot of wastage. Gu Xi decided to plan it well, he wanted to ensure minimal wastage of spiritual energy.
For example, the twelve main peaks in the sect not only had all kinds of arrays set up to maximize the effects of the spiritual energy, but they also had specialized alchemy or beast gardens. Gu Xi also decided to follow suit.
He was prepared to divide the mountain into a few areas, specializing in cultivation, familiars, and alchemy respectively. He would create a Grotto-heaven Blessed Land, a Familiar Beast Training Hall, and a Hundred Herb Garden.
The people sent by the clan came in handy at this time. Many of the construction required manpower. After all, a huge and bare mountain peak was not very nice to look at.
“You guys are in charge of the repair work for the Familiar Beast Training Hall and the Hundred Herb Garden.”
Gu Xi arranged for everything. With a thought, the entire scene of Mount Sanqing appeared in his mind. In the southeast direction, that was the place with the densest spiritual energy.
In the next second, he appeared here.
There was a cave halfway up the mountain. Countless vines were hanging down from the cliff. Green branches were twining around it, forming a natural curtain. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow into the cave. If one did not look carefully, one would easily miss this cave.
Gu Xi could sense that this place was almost at the center of Mount Sanqing. It could be said to be the best location. Below it was a bottomless abyss. Clouds and mist surrounded it. It was as if he had entered a fairyland by mistake. When he walked in, he saw a different world.
