The Master of Beasts-Chapter 723 - 218:

Jiuying Station

The fusion of the Golden Desert and the True Realm, followed by the occurrence of numerous Nightmares, had already reached the ears of Shuibing and the others.

"What should we do? This type of Chaos creature, the Nightmare, is not easy to deal with!" Song Bei frowned slightly.

"If we don't handle it, the abilities of this Chaos creature are too terrifying. By then, the area of the Golden Desert will likely become a forbidden zone!" Jiuying frowned.

"I'll send a message to Wu Tian first to ask about the situation over there. No matter what, have Wu Tian find Chen Jiuge and understand the situation!"

Shuibing's expression wasn't good either. The emergence of the Nightmare had already disrupted Shuibing's plans, even affecting the calculations of the Heavenly Gate, the Evil Ghost, and those underworld ghosts in the Sect Holy Land!

"How about I also go and take a look? I just feel the timing of the Nightmare's appearance is too coincidental. Perhaps some force is using our Heavenly Gate to disturb the True Realm!" Song Bei said with some concern.

Shuibing initially shook her head, but upon further consideration, she hesitated and said, "Song Bei, if you would, please."

"I also had a thought that our organizational actions went too smoothly, but I never looked in that direction. It's not impossible!"

"Alright, leave it to me!"

"Sister, do you really think there's a force hiding behind the scenes?" Jiuying inquired.

Shuibing shook her head and said, "I don't know. Just like I said, everything feels too smooth."

"I'll take a trip to Sky City. You activate the Concealing Array of the station to its extreme. No matter who comes, don't let them in."

"With the support of Song Bei and Wu Tian, an ordinary Daluo shouldn't be able to break in."

"Understood, sister." Jiuying knew that going to Sky City was dangerous now but also understood she couldn't persuade her sister.

.....

Sky City

This once beautiful and dreamy legendary city had now changed its appearance.

A large number of evolved, peculiar Nightmares occupied every corner of the city, and the vast training grounds were strewn with the remnants of corpses.

The Nightmares, which never let food go to waste, surprisingly left a large amount of flesh and blood to rot on the ground this time.

Le Tian, huddled in the Scripture Pavilion, looked mournfully at the Nightmares constantly pacing outside the Great Array, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

"I..."

Le Tian's mind was a mess right now, not knowing what to say.

A month ago, Sky City was still a beautiful sight until that day when the Master, who hadn't shown himself for a long time, also the leader of the Heavenly Gate, Mu Ye, appeared.

He remembered that day. The suddenly appearing Mu Ye didn't meet with others in the Heavenly Gate but came directly to the chamber where Le Tian was.

"Master? You've come out?" Le Tian said with surprise.

"Yes, I encountered some issues in my cultivation, and this time my retreat took a bit longer." Mu Ye said blandly.

"Master, you don't know. A lot of things happened during this period, many Elders in the sect..."

"Enough, those are not things you should be concerned with. The most important thing for you now is to break through to Daluo. Without reaching Daluo, how can you inherit such a massive Heavenly Gate!" Mu Ye interrupted.

"Inherit the Heavenly Gate?" Le Tian scratched his head in confusion and said, "Master, isn't Daluo supposed to live as long as heaven and earth? With you here, why would I need to inherit Daluo?"

Mu Ye looked deeply at Le Tian and, after a long while, turned his head again.

Looking down at a newly appeared black line on his palm, Mu Ye's eyes held a particularly complex expression.

"Live as long as heaven and earth? Not anymore, it's not the same starting today."

"Not the same?" Le Tian was puzzled.

Mu Ye said blandly, "Remember the original purpose of the Heavenly Gate?"

Le Tian shuddered. "To pull the exalted Daluo down to be like dust, to make all immortals experience birth, aging, illness, and death!"

"Does it mean it has succeeded?"

Le Tian, shocked by his own guess, gestured with his hands and feet confusedly.

"Master, if it succeeded, wouldn't the True Realm become better, and mortals like us gain a better living condition?"

Because of the infinite lifespan, you would find in the True Realm, those descendants of the Immortals seem to stand high, but actually, they can't obtain much good stuff from their parents!

It perfectly explained that children are just an accident!

The most important part is what the role of children and descendants is?

It is the continuation of life. When one's life is infinite, the significance of children diminishes by ninety percent!

The remaining ten percent is still there, kept by Immortals to avoid losing their humanity and going mad, leaving behind a human emotion.

Perhaps this is also a restriction imposed by the Heavenly Dao on those immortals with infinite lifespans!

Mu Ye, watching the emotionally stirred Le Tian, subtly covered his face and asked, "Le Tian, are you happy?"

"Of course!" Le Tian answered without hesitation, "Isn't this the direction our Heavenly Gate has always been striving for?"

"But have you thought, you will also have a limit to your lifespan, you will experience birth, aging, illness, and death like a mortal, and even your children, all your relatives and friends, will be the same!"

"You must know you could have roamed the world forever!"

The smile on Le Tian's face slowly faded, and he replied solemnly, "Master, this is the goal of our efforts, isn't this our ideal?"

"Besides, what kind of immortal am I? I was just a cowherd, and if not for Master accepting me as a disciple, I would have long turned to dust, vanishing from the world."

"Yes, when I first met you, you were so small, couldn't even fill your stomach, yet had to rear such big farm cattle."
