Chapter 792: Chapter 789: The Fire Essence Beast’s Conspiracy!_1
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen nodded.
It was undeniable that Yun Ge, as the Fire Essence Beast Commander, was much stronger than any True Martial Realm peak powerhouse or other Fire Essence Beasts he had ever seen.
After all, Yun Ge had not yet entered the Half-Step Earth Martial Realm, the threshold of the Earth Martial Realm. He was still at the True Martial Realm peak, yet dealing with so many demonic beasts working together was not a problem, which demonstrated Yun Ge’s prowess.
Yang Chen had always been puzzled, and now that he heard about it, it turned out to be related to the awakening of demonic beasts.
He had no idea that there were events such as the awakening of demonic beasts’ bloodlines. It seemed that there was still much history about demonic beasts that he didn’t know about.
“Mang Ge, I’m indeed unaware of this matter, but what does this awakening ceremony have to do with our current situation?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask, as he didn’t think Mang Ge would bring up these matters for no reason.
“Young Master, the environment and conditions required for our demonic beast awakening ceremony are very remote and barren. The more so, the more suitable it is for our demonic beasts to awaken. Perhaps Mang Ge is being overly cautious. However, I always feel that this place is very similar to where our demonic beasts hold the awakening ceremony, yet I also feel that something is different because the place where our demonic beasts awaken is not so open.” Mang Ge murmured.
Upon hearing these words, Yang Chen suddenly lost his composure: “What did you say? That this place is like the land of demonic beasts’ awakening?”
“Yes, I participated in an awakening ceremony back then. Because a demonic beast can only awaken once in its life, I remember that ceremony very well, even to this day, I haven’t forgotten. The environment of that ceremony is too similar to here!” Mang Ge said seriously.
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, and his expression gradually became serious: “Mang Ge, are you sure?”
“Absolutely.” Mang Ge replied respectfully.
Yang Chen did not question Mang Ge’s words.
After all, from the very beginning when he entered this Purple Qi Secret Realm, he felt that something was wrong.
Not to mention the second floor, even on the first floor, he encountered many demonic beasts. However, these demonic beasts simply lived here as if it was their home, and the environment here, upon closer inspection, was indeed the living environment for demonic beasts.
If the first and second floors were separated, there might not be any problem.
However, when they were connected, it did feel a bit fishy.
“Maybe, this place was originally a secret realm tailor-made for demonic beasts? Those demonic beasts first lived on the first floor, and then when their strength was enough, they challenged the protector to enter the second floor to awaken. Perhaps this protector was not set up for humans at all, but solely for demonic beasts?” Yang Chen muttered: “If this is really the case, then what are the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that various forces have been observing and expecting all about?”
Yang Chen’s ominous premonition grew stronger!
“Huh?” As Yang Chen guessed, suddenly, the Red Gold Holy Ant seemed to sense something and began to bite frantically towards a certain place.
The Red Gold Holy Ant was biting at a layer of soil.
Yang Chen didn’t know what the Red Gold Holy Ant was doing and asked in confusion, “Senior Yun Lu, what’s going on with this Red Gold Holy Ant?”
Yun Lu was also quite surprised, but since she was controlling it, she quickly replied, “It seems to feel that there’s something underneath this layer of soil!”
“Oh?” Hearing Yun Lu’s explanation, Yang Chen suddenly waved his hand and lifted the ground.
As he lifted the ground, he went as deep as ten feet, but there was nothing beneath the soil.
“Young Master, go a little deeper.” Yun Lu said.Yang Chen lifted another ten meters.
“Keep lifting!”
After digging four meters deep, Yang Chen finally reached the end of the gray soil. In its place were layers of bright red soil resembling flames. The sight of these layers of red soil perplexed Yang Chen.
“What on earth is going on here?” Yang Chen wondered, surprised. “Why is the soil deep down different from the one on the surface?”
Yun Lu was also puzzled, as she didn’t know anything about this matter.
The Scarlet Golden Saint Ant flew around the red soil, behaving wildly and biting at it from time to time. No one knew what it was trying to do!
Yang Chen turned to the three Demonic Beasts and asked, “Do you have any idea what might be going on?”
One of the Demonic Beasts shook its head, saying, “Young Master, we were not eligible to participate in the Awakening Ceremony back then. You should ask Mang Ge.”
Yang Chen focused his gaze on Mang Ge and asked, “Mang Ge, do you know anything about this?”
“Well, Young Master, I’m not sure if I should speak on this matter since it might seem unfounded. However, each clan’s Awakening Ceremony is unique and tied to their characteristics.”
Mang Ge paused for a moment before continuing, “For example, our Golden Barbarian Bull Clan’s Awakening Ceremony involves applying gold paint on our bodies, which is the same color as our skin. So, if you want to figure out which clan’s Awakening Ceremony this might be similar to, you should make an initial judgment based on the surrounding environment.”
Yang Chen more or less understood the meaning of the Golden Barbarian Bull’s words.
He squatted down, grabbed a handful of the fiery red soil, and clenched it in his hand.
Yang Chen was shocked, exclaiming, “What a scorching hot soil!”
The temperature was extremely high. Holding the soil felt like holding a ball of fire.
Yang Chen felt even more uneasy. As his hand touched the red soil, he could clearly feel an intense flame burning deep underground. And this flame felt eerily similar to the one emitted by the Fire Essence Beast!
“It feels like the Fire Essence Beast… Could this be the place where the Fire Essence Beast Clan awakens?” Yang Chen’s face tightened as he contemplated a terrifying possibility.
As this possibility lingered in Yang Chen’s mind, he clenched his fist and muttered, “This is bad, things are really bad.”
“Young Master, what’s the matter?” Mang Ge asked, noticing Yang Chen’s sudden change in expression.
Yang Chen sighed, “If I’m not mistaken, I’m afraid this might be the site of the Fire Essence Beast’s Awakening Ceremony.”
“The Fire Essence Beast’s Awakening Ceremony?” Mang Ge and the other Demonic Beasts exchanged puzzled glances.
Yang Chen gritted his teeth, “If that’s the case, then everything – the Slaughter God Spear, the Purple Qi Secret Realm, and all the treasures – was part of the Fire Essence Beast Clan’s conspiracy, and everyone has been deceived.”
“What do you mean?” Yun Lu still didn’t understand.
Yang Chen looked at the red soil, “I’ve always had a gut feeling that the appearance of the Purple Qi Secret Realm isn’t simple. Its appearance was too high-profile, making everyone think there were treasures inside. But the more it seems like that, the more things can backfire. Now that I see it, this was all part of the Fire Essence Beast Clan’s conspiracy. Think about it, when everyone focuses on the Purple Qi Secret Realm, would they still pay attention to the movements of the Fire Essence Beasts? Would people still care about a specific Earth Martial Realm or Sky Martial Realm martial artist entering the depths of the Thirty-Six Eastern Counties?”
