The Master of Beasts-Chapter 734 - 223:

It seemed to think of some bad possibilities. Jialouluo's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice, "Are my people deliberately imprisoned by you?"

Just as tensions were high on both sides, Mo Yu braved immense pressure and brought Chi Hong to the center of both parties.

"Senior Jialouluo, it's not like that!"

"Hmm? The aura of Chen Jiuge, you're his contracted Spiritual Beast, where is he? Or am I not worthy of being greeted by him personally?"

The immense pressure made it difficult for Mo Yu to maintain a human form, two black Qilin horns sprouted from his forehead.

"Hey, big guy, what are you doing? What business do you have with my father?" Chi Hong stood trembling in front of Mo Yu and said.

"Hmm?"

Jialouluo shifted his gaze to Chi Hong and noticed something amiss. Generally, the skin color of Evil Ghosts was blackish-green, but this red-skinned little ghost exuded a very pure Evil Ghost aura, even purer than his own!

"Are you an Evil Ghost?" Jialouluo could hardly believe his own judgment; he was one of the Twelve Holy Kings of the Evil Ghost Clan. How could there be a purer Evil Ghost bloodline than his?

"Of course!" Chi Hong said with a flushed little face.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible!" Jialouluo was somewhat disarrayed.

Evil Ghosts with purer bloodlines than his aren't unheard of, but such Evil Ghosts belong to the legendary first generation!

Jialouluo lived in a time when the Evil Ghosts dominated, a period far removed from the appearance of the first generation Evil Ghosts.

It is said that during the time of the first generation Evil Ghosts, all races competed, and there were no so-called realm divisions in cultivation, with battles based purely on intuition, not knowing if the opponent was hiding their true strength until a real fight occurred.

In that ancient era, even the most ferocious Evil Ghosts were just a small, ordinary race struggling for survival. The first generation had long since nearly perished.

To suddenly see a small Evil Ghost with a bloodline comparable to the first generation was enough to stir Jialouluo deeply!

"How did you appear!" Jialouluo grabbed Chi Hong's shoulder, lifting him up, visibly agitated.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? I'm just a child!" Chi Hong wasn't foolish; he could tell the person in front of him wasn't someone he could provoke, and he spoke without his usual arrogant air.

Chi Hong's words made Jialouluo slightly regain his composure, looking at Chi Hong with a complex expression, "Is there anyone else like you?"

Though holding onto a glimmer of hope in his heart, Jialouluo understood that the True Realm wouldn't allow the first generation Evil Ghosts to appear en masse.

"Like me?" Chi Hong was momentarily bewildered.

"I mean those with the same skin color as you."

Chi Hong thought for a moment and said, "No one exactly like me, but there are quite a few who are a bit less red!"

Hearing this response, Jialouluo couldn't help but slightly increase the grip on his hand until Chi Hong let out a muffled grumble, and only then did he realize.

"What about Chen Jiuge's Spiritual Beast, take me to see Chen Jiuge!"

Mo Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master is in seclusion; perhaps senior could wait for a while?"

"Wait a while?" Jialouluo was about to lose his temper but glanced at Chi Hong and restrained himself, saying, "Fine, I'll wait then!"

Shuibing and the others had no objections, as long as Jialouluo didn't cause problems in Star Moon City, nothing else mattered.

After all, the Evil Ghost Clan was still very powerful. Not to mention the presence of three of the former Twelve Holy Kings, in battles with the new Evil Ghosts, some of them even allied with the Evil Ghost Clan, and their numbers of Daluo were certainly more than three.

In terms of sheer strength, Star Moon City might have a slight advantage at the mid-lower levels in battle power, but there was a significant gap in higher-tier strength.

.......

Chen Jiuge, still in seclusion, was completely unaware that Mo Yu dared to make a Daluo level Evil Ghost wait for him, let alone that this Evil Ghost had once single-handedly destroyed the Puppet Sect.

The cultivation of the "Undying Technique" wasn't difficult, but it was exceedingly tedious.

Approximately over ten thousand Spiritual Beasts needed to be contracted. If it were a direct contract, it might be fine, but each needed to be carefully selected, which cost Chen Jiuge a lot of time.

"Is this the limit?"

Feeling the immortal power within nearly bursting out, Chen Jiuge muttered numbly.

After sifting through the entire Chaos World, Chen Jiuge finally contracted all of the Spiritual Beasts with the highest potential, and the cultivation fed back from these Spiritual Beasts could no longer be contained within the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Traces of immortal power, through peculiar means, continuously surged into his body, and at this moment, Chen Jiuge could no longer control the boiling immortal power within him.

"Swish"

His form appeared in the True Realm; dark tribulation clouds loomed over Star Moon City.

"Is this the Golden Immortal Thunder Tribulation?"

"Have any of your subordinates recently had a breakthrough?" Wu Tian asked curiously.

True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Daluo.

Each tier was vastly different. The only somewhat close tier was True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal, which were still separated by Thirty-three Layer Heaven. Golden Immortal and Daluo were even further apart.

Now that Shuibing and the others had branched out, every new Golden Immortal was extremely important. Whenever their subordinates were up for a breakthrough, Shuibing and the others would guide them personally; however, this hadn't happened recently!

Song Bei, unable to contain his curiosity, explored with Divine Sense.

A heavenly tribulation followed, and Song Bei slapped it out with one palm, surprised exclaiming, "It's actually Chen Jiuge!"

"Chen Jiuge?" Wu Tian was also surprised; when they saw him last, his cultivation level had reached the extreme of the Heavenly Immortal, yet he was still far from breaking through to Golden Immortal.

"Interesting, but it's good that he made the breakthrough. With Golden Immortal cultivation, managing Star Moon City should no longer pose any other issues!" Shuibing chuckled lightly.

Although Chen Jiuge had initially secured Star Moon City, it was the intimidate power of Shuibing and the others that kept this large city intact.

Unbeknownst to Chen Jiuge, Shuibing and others had already clashed with countless forces in secret.

"Rumble"

Increasingly fierce lightning tribulations descended from the sky, and Chen Jiuge, directly under the center of the tribulation, had his clothes completely torn apart by the thunderbolts.

"Is this really the Golden Immortal Thunder Tribulation? Why does it feel so easy?" Chen Jiuge quirked a brow.

These ferocious bolts of thunder, upon reaching him, were deflected by the surging immortal power wanting to break free in his body, leaving him unharmed.

"Crack"

As the final blinding bolt of thunder struck, the restless immortal power within was finally refined, and Chen Jiuge had it completely under control!

"Pop"

A crisp, unique sound echoed as golden lotus flowers slowly blossomed in the void, and a golden Heaven and Earth Bridge extended from the void, reaching all the way to Chen Jiuge's feet.

True Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Qiongqi, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, one after another Spiritual Beast's phantom materialized behind Chen Jiuge, exuding an aura far exceeding his previous.

"He actually broke through?" This was the thought of the Heavenly Gate Cultivators dissatisfied with Chen Jiuge's management.

"He finally broke through!" Said the cultivators loyal to Chen Jiuge.

"So quick!" Said those familiar with Chen Jiuge.

Chen Jiuge didn't care what these people thought; following his breakthrough, he had no intention of flaunting his cultivation accomplishments and directly returned to Star Moon Pond.

"Congratulations, sir!" Ci Yao looked at Chen Jiuge with a face full of admiration.

How long has it been since he started following the lord — back then, he was but at True Immortal cultivation, and in just a few thousand years, he advanced from True Immortal to Golden Immortal, such extraordinary talent!

The expression from Ci Yao made Chen Jiuge a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, really. Let's do it this way, the Ci Ying Clan has been with me for some time now and has been diligent throughout, so each of you can pick a Spiritual Beast from the Star Moon Pond." Chen Jiuge pointed to the Spiritual Beast group in the pond.

Although the Spiritual Beasts in Star Moon Pond didn't match the high quality of the Chaos World, there were still some good ones among them. Some with decent potential and talent; Chen Jiuge casually placed them there.

"Thank you, sir!" Ci Yao expressed gratitude.

Only after witnessing Chen Jiuge's nurturing of Spiritual Beasts personally does one understand how powerful these beasts truly are in both strength and potential!

"Well, Mo Yu might come over later, so just tell her I'm going into seclusion. My breakthrough to Golden Immortal is significant; those loyal old members deserve some benefits too."

"Let's focus on the Spiritual Beasts; the situation is getting more complicated, and more strength is always better," Chen Jiuge considered.

"As you command, sir!"

Not long after, Mo Yu indeed arrived, and after receiving Ci Yao's message, she didn't linger to disturb further and left straightaway.

As long as it's confirmed that Chen Jiuge truly reached the Golden Immortal, that's enough.
