Chapter 133 - 130: All Things Crystal! Terrifying Effect

Chapter 133: Chapter 130: All Things Crystal! Terrifying Effect

The All Things Crystal, which its race had guarded for generations, was completely gone. ’Stolen?’

The King of Half-Beastmen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The All Things Crystal was the condensed essence of the power of all things in the world. This power was expelled by the Heaven and Earth Sealing Spirit Array, purified by the World-Purifying Black Lotus, and then further refined through an Array before finally coalescing.

Simply swallowing it to become stronger would be an outrageous waste of a precious treasure!

When the All Things Crystal fully formed, it would become a rare Little World Treasure!

This piece of the All Things Crystal had been condensing for over a thousand years to reach its current size.

It was on the verge of fully forming in just another one or two hundred years.

It never imagined that it would be stolen on its watch!

’No matter what, I have to get it back immediately!’

The King of Half-Beastmen thought anxiously.

’Thankfully, I’ve spent many years by the All Things Crystal’s side. I’m incredibly familiar with its aura.’

’Our race’s greatest ability is precisely this capacity to sense the All Things Crystal.’

’The All Things Crystal was just stolen; it can’t be far. I can surely sense its exact location.’

But when it tried, to its horror, the King of Half-Beastmen found it had completely lost its sense of the All Things Crystal.

It was gone. The All Things Crystal seemed to have vanished from this world completely!

’But how is that possible?’

’No such method should exist in this world.’

’If a way to block my senses existed, why would I have been fated to guard the All Things Crystal here?’

’My race exists for the sole purpose of protecting the All Things Crystal.’

’As the king of this race, my sense of the All Things Crystal should be impossible for any method to block.’

’Unless...’

’Unless the All Things Crystal was used right after it was stolen and no longer exists in this world!’

’Impossible. It’s only been a moment. The All Things Crystal must still exist, it’s just been shielded by some unknown method!’

The King of Half-Beastmen would rather believe its senses were being blocked than believe the All Things Crystal had been used in that brief instant.

"ROAR!"

Whatever the reason, the King of Half-Beastmen let out a furious roar.

Its roar contained an inexplicable power.

The surrounding Innate Fierce Beasts heard the sound, and their minds went blank. They lost control and plummeted from the sky.

"Holy shit! What kind of technique is that!"

Jiang Zuo hadn’t gotten far, but he also heard the King of Half-Beastmen’s roar.

He also lost focus for a moment and began to fall from the sky.

But halfway down, Jiang Zuo came to his senses and frantically flapped his wings, flying outward once more.

Jiang Zuo had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pluck a few more lotus pods, but after hearing the King of Half-Beastmen’s roar, the Half-Beastmen went berserk, frantically attacking the surrounding Fierce Beasts.

After using the Beast Pattern Rune Technique twice in succession, Jiang Zuo was far from his peak condition.

With the most precious treasure in hand, Jiang Zuo decided it was best to leave as quickly as possible.

Flapping his wings rapidly, Jiang Zuo flew out from the army of Fierce Beasts amid the chaos and began his journey back.

Enraged roars continuously echoed from far behind him.

Before long, Jiang Zuo looked back and saw countless Innate Fierce Beasts fleeing from the area.

The King of Half-Beastmen seemed to have gone completely berserk. The Innate Fierce Beasts were terrified; none of them cared about the lotus pods anymore as they scrambled over each other to escape with their lives.

And under the King of Half-Beastmen’s command, the other Half-Beastmen were giving chase in all directions.

Seeing this, Jiang Zuo flew even faster without a backward glance.

The Half-Beastmen and their King were fast, but they were no match for a creature in the air. The only ones they caught were some of the slower, more cumbersome beasts.

Jiang Zuo had escaped early and was fast, so he soon left the chaotic scene far behind.

The flight there had taken Jiang Zuo a full day, and the return journey took just as long.

By the time he returned to the oasis where he had last rested, the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas had little energy left. Jiang Zuo had no choice but to stop and recover.

It had only been a few days since Jiang Zuo had killed the Innate Fierce Beast at this oasis, and the surrounding Fierce Beasts had already memorized his aura.

The moment he landed, the Fierce Beasts on the oasis scattered, saving Jiang Zuo the trouble of having to act.

After confirming his safety, Jiang Zuo gleefully looked into his Pet Beast Spirit Garden.

The very instant he had touched the power crystal, he had moved it into the Pet Beast Spirit Garden.

He hadn’t put it in his storage bag. Firstly, he was afraid that fellow, the Innate Spiritual Soil, would sneak a bite. Secondly, his storage bag probably couldn’t block tracking.

Placing it inside the Pet Beast Spirit Garden was much safer.

But now, as Jiang Zuo looked into the Pet Beast Spirit Garden, he was stunned.

’Where’s the red, crystal-like power crystal?’

The crystal wasn’t huge, but it was about the size of a fist and roughly thirty centimeters long.

’The Pet Beast Spirit Garden isn’t that big. How could it be gone?’

’Did Great Black and the others secretly hide it?’

Just as Jiang Zuo had this thought, he suddenly discovered that the Pet Beast Spirit Garden had undergone a world-altering transformation!

The once-barren Pet Beast Spirit Garden, where Jiang Zuo had transplanted a few trees and some pleasant-looking blades of grass, had been filled with half-dead plants.

But now, they were all bursting with life. The entire Spirit Garden was vibrant and flourishing, and some of the grasses had even sprouted beautiful flowers.

Great Black, the flock of Seated Mountain Eagles, and Xiaoqing all looked overjoyed, running and playing all around the Spirit Garden.

Looking closely at the group of Pet Beasts, he noticed their condition was also unusual.

Whether it was Great Black, Xiaoqing, or the flock of Seated Mountain Eagles, they were all clearly much stronger than they had been a day or two before.

Especially Great Black. Jiang Zuo sensed it could break through to the Innate realm at any moment, and after doing so, it would very likely awaken a Spirit Root!

Keep in mind, before today, it hadn’t even reached Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Perfection.

Xiaoqing’s change wasn’t as dramatic as Great Black’s, but it had also broken through to the late first-order.

As for the Seated Mountain Eagles, Jiang Zuo sensed that they might be on the verge of transforming into Spirit Beasts.

’What happened?’

Jiang Zuo was shocked.

’Was it the power crystal?’

’But where has it gone now?’

Jiang Zuo hurriedly questioned his group of Pet Beasts.

After a chaotic exchange with the Pet Beasts, Jiang Zuo finally pieced together what had happened.

Apparently, after Jiang Zuo had moved the power crystal into the Pet Beast Spirit Garden, his Pet Beasts had been irresistibly drawn to it, hoping to get a taste of its benefits.

But then, the red crystal had suddenly erupted with an incredibly dazzling light that enveloped the entire Pet Beast Spirit Garden.

The Pet Beasts couldn’t help but shut their eyes. When they opened them again, the power crystal was gone.

Then, something astonishing happened.

First, the amount of Spiritual Qi the Pet Beast Spirit Garden produced each day began to skyrocket.

Previously, the Pet Beast Spirit Garden had only produced a tiny amount of Spiritual Qi each day, which was barely a drop in the bucket for Xiaoqing.

Now, the daily output of Spiritual Qi had surged by more than tenfold.

Then, the once half-dead grasses and trees around them began to grow like mad.

The beasts also felt their own bodies constantly growing stronger.

Great Black seized the opportunity to cultivate. It felt as if his body had no bottlenecks, and he had an endless supply of power for his Cultivation.

In just a single day, he reached Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Perfection and felt he could break through to the Innate realm at any moment without needing to re-cultivate.

Xiaoqing had a similar experience. It simply absorbed Spiritual Power as usual and broke through to the late first-order.

As for the Seated Mountain Eagles, they felt that after taking a nap, they woke up with their bodies completely transformed.

This feeling was in no way inferior to the worldly baptism they endured when they promoted to the Innate realm.

Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded as he listened to them.

’Just what kind of treasure was this power crystal to be so terrifyingly powerful?’

Especially when he heard the Seated Mountain Eagles say it felt similar to undergoing a worldly baptism, Jiang Zuo realized he had likely obtained a treasure far rarer than he had ever imagined!

Although the space in the Pet Beast Spirit Garden was still small, an effect of this magnitude had nothing to do with size.

It was as if Great Black, Xiaoqing, and the flock of Seated Mountain Eagles had received a benefit akin to the creation of the world.

’This crystal... could it be that I stumbled upon its true purpose by accident?’

Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but speculate.

’If that’s the case, then this power crystal might be a super treasure originally meant to cultivate a small dimension, or even a Little World!’

Although Jiang Zuo was a little disappointed that he hadn’t received this benefit himself, if the changes to the Pet Beast Spirit Garden were permanent, its future potential would become limitless.

In the future, not only would it be much easier for him to raise Pet Beasts, but the ones he raised would be extraordinarily powerful!

The Catalogue’s energy was severely depleted. Jiang Zuo had planned to rest for two or three more days, waiting for it to recover more energy before he continued his journey.

But unexpectedly, two days later...

A massive horde of Fierce Beasts surged out from the depths of the Ancient Beast Forest.

Seeing that the situation had turned sour, Jiang Zuo didn’t dare to linger and immediately set off again.

Without a doubt, the depths of the Ancient Beast Forest had descended into immense chaos.

From then on, Jiang Zuo traveled in short bursts, not daring to stop for too long.

However, the chaos seemed to be confined to the depths of the Ancient Beast Forest. As Jiang Zuo gradually returned to the outer regions, his surroundings became much more peaceful.

The negative emotions in the air were no longer as dense, so Jiang Zuo no longer needed to wear the Ten Thousand Beasts Armor.

Seeing this, Jiang Zuo finally let his flock of Pet Beasts out to stretch their legs.

Over the past few days, Xiaoqing’s Cultivation had increased again.

As for Great Black, Jiang Zuo told him not to break through, but to instead start cultivating the Blood God Skill.

Jiang Zuo planned to have Great Black master both the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Skill and the Blood God Skill simultaneously when he broke through to the Innate realm.

As for the twelve Seated Mountain Eagles.

Two of them had quietly awakened Spirit Roots!

Jiang Zuo was both happy and vexed.

He was happy because he was about to have a large flock of Spirit Beasts under his command.

He was vexed because the Spiritual Qi produced by the Pet Beast Spirit Garden would be far from sufficient.

’Looks like I need to get to the Mortal Territory as soon as possible, take care of those Obsession Relics, and then head to the Cultivation Realm.’

Jiang Zuo thought.

’Once this flock of Seated Mountain Eagles begins to cultivate, even if they only reach the mid first-order...’

’...my chances in the Cyan Wood Secret Realm will be much more secure.’

「Two months passed in the blink of an eye.」

Jiang Zuo returned to the Bu Family’s residence once more.

The one-year mark had not yet arrived, but Jiang Zuo had no intention of waiting.

He planned to retrieve the Blood Mist Pill and give it to Great Black for his Cultivation, helping him break through to the Innate realm as quickly as possible.
