The Great Ruler

Chapter 1014 - Primordial Treasure Beast

Since Zong Teng escaped, the intense battle outside the Body Refining Pagoda had finally come to an end. The experts of the other clans all took a glance at Mu Chen with fear and solemn in their eyes, before they started to leave.

After the Body Refining Pagoda opened this time, it would be closed for a long period of time and there were no ways to open it. Thus, it had completely lost its attractiveness and no one was willing to continue staying here.

The Divine Beast Origin was vast with countless other opportunities for them to discover. So they would naturally not stay on one tree.

However, although they left, they had all remembered the human called Mu Chen and his powerful physique that surpassed even the Divine Beasts, which had left a deep impression in them. They knew that this might not be the only time that they see Mu Chen. At that time, perhaps all of the geniuses in the Divine Beast Origin would know of his existence.

Everyone was somewhat curious in their hearts, since they had no idea how Mu Chen would fare once he encountered the pinnacle geniuses of the other Divine Beast Clans.

If they were to fight, it would undoubtedly be a clash between comets, which would be extremely dazzling.

The experience in the Divine Beast Origin had just started. At that time, there would be more pinnacle geniuses gathering and only then, would it be that the experience reaches the climax.

"Haha. Brother Mu is truly powerful, I'm afraid that I'm inferior when compared to your physical strength."

When the crowd outside the Body Refining Pagoda came to an end, Han Shan cupped his fists with a smile. His tone was surprisingly courteous, much warmer than the time they were in the Body Refining Pagoda. Evidently, after witnessing the fight between Mu Chen and Zong Teng, Han Shan had placed Mu Chen on an extremely important spot.

It was so much so that he wasn't confident that he could defeat Mu Chen.

Mu Chen smiled with his fists cupped and a friendly attitude. Compared to those like Zong Teng and Lu Sui, Han Shan was clearly better. If they could form a good relationship, the benefits would be greater.

"But today, Brother Mu has completely offended Zong Teng."

Han Shan cast a glance in the direction that Zong Teng had left in and smiled. "Although Zong Teng is a genius of the Sky Roc Clan, he's nothing to fear. According to what I know, the Sky Roc Clan has close relations with the Roc Clan and Zong Teng still has some relations in the Roc Clan…"

"Roc Clan?" Mu Chen's eyes contracted upon hearing that. Even if he did not know much about the Divine Beast Clans, he knew that the Roc Clan was considered one of the tops amongst the Divine Beast Clans with a foundation comparable to the Dragon and Phoenix Clans.

Standing beside him, Nine Nether and Mo Feng's expressions turned more serious. The Sky Roc Clan descended from the Super Divine Beast, the Gold Winged Roc. While the Roc Clan was the origin of all rocs. Thus, the Gold Winged Roc could be considered as one of the Roc Clan.

It was the same with the Primordial Undying Bird's Bloodline that flowed in the bodies of the Nine Netherbird Clan, since the Primordial Undying Bird was also a variant of the Phoenix Clan.

If Zong Teng truly had some relations with the Roc Clan, then if he invited the geniuses of the Roc Clan, then it would be somewhat troublesome for them. They could only imagine how extraordinary the geniuses of those top Divine Beast Clans were.

Although he had brought up some guard in his heart, Mu Chen wasn't afraid. After all these years on his path of cultivation, he did not rely on cowering and fear to press forth.

"We will pay attention to that, thanks for your information." Mu Chen cupped his fists once again, expressing his gratitude towards Han Shan's reminder.

Han Shan smiled, then briefly pondered. "So, where are you guys planning to go next?"

When Mu Chen heard his words, he exchanged a glance with Nine Nether, then the latter said, "We're trying to see if we can find any traces of the Primordial Undying Bird."

She did not hide her motive. After all, if the news of the Primordial Undying Bird spreads out, it would definitely be impossible to hide. Furthermore, the requirements were that they had to find it first.

After all these years, the Nine Netherbird Clan had been searching, but their harvest wasn't anything notable.

"The Primordial Undying Bird…"

Han Shan wasn't startled by this fact, since he already knew that the Primordial Undying Bird's bloodline flowed through the Nine Netherbird Clan. He smiled. "I wonder if you guys have any clues."

Nine Nether naturally shook her head.

"If that's the case, perhaps I might be able to offer some help," said Han Shan.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether were shocked, before looking at Han Shan with questioning gazes and said with some disbelief, "Can it be that you have some clues?"

If that was truly the case, how could Han Shan hand over the clues so easily?

"Not the exact clues." Han Shan smiled, "But I believe it's better than looking around blindly."

"We're willing to hear more details about that."

Nine Nether solemnly nodded her head. The Divine Beast Origin was too vast. Even with the True Phoenix aura on Mu Chen, it wouldn't be easy for them to find traces of the Primordial Undying Bird. So if there were clues, then it would be of great news to them.

"Have you guys heard of the Myriad Beast Graveyard?" Han Shan said.

"The Myriad Beast Graveyard?!"

Mu Chen did not respond from his words but Nine Nether and Mo Feng's face changed with graveness and fear.

"What is that place?" Mu Chen was somewhat shocked as he asked.

"As the name implies, it's a graveyard for beasts… It's said that the Divine Beasts that fell in that place were the largest out of the Divine Beast Origin, forming into a massive graveyard that is enveloped by a deathly aura all the time over the years. Because it was mixed with the evil aura of the Fiend Clan, it's extremely dangerous and it's one of the ominous lands." Nine Nether spoke with a grave expression.

"But it's also said that there is not only one Super Divine Beast that fell in the Myriad Beast Graveyard…" Mo Feng added.

"And the Primordial Undying Bird is one of them?" Mu Chen looked towards Han Shan.

"During the previous time when the Divine Beast Origin opened, my clan had gone into the Myriad Beast Graveyard and they said that they had once heard the cry of Phoenix in there… burning with undying flames." Han Shan said slowly.

Nine Nether's breathing instantly became a little urgent. Undying Flames… it was flames unique to the Primordial Undying Bird. If what Han Shan said was the truth, then there might be a fallen Primordial Undying Bird in the Myriad Beast Graveyard.

It's just that the ominous land was too dangerous. In the past, there weren't many of those from the Nine Netherbird Clan that went to that ominous land.

"For Brother Han to suddenly tell us this…" Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he smiled towards Han Shan. The meaning of his words was evident. Since the latter told them such information, then the latter must have his motive.

"I wish to seek an alliance." Han Shan frankly said.

"Brother Han found something in the Myriad Beast Graveyard?" Mu Chen probed. If he didn't know the exact information, then Han Shan would definitely not risk his life to enter that sort of ominous land.

Han Shan went silent for a moment upon hearing Mu Chen's words, before slowly nodding his head. "My clansmen have once seen a Primordial Treasure Beast that has fallen in the Myriad Beast Graveyard."

"Primordial Treasure Beast?!"

When those words were spoken, not only were Nine Nether and Mo Feng startled, even Mu Chen had widened his eyes with shock on his face.

Not only was the Primordial Treasure Beast famous amongst the Divine Beast Clans, but it was also extremely famed in the human world.

It was said that the Primordial Treasure Beasts were fond of consuming all sorts of unique metals, heavenly treasures and those things would be refined with the refinery method of the Primordial Treasure Beasts before forming into primitive and powerful Divine Artifacts. It was so much so that even some powerful Primordial Treasure Beasts could even refine Quasi-Saint Artifacts and Saint Artifacts that even Earth Sovereigns were drawn by.

Therefore, the Primordial Treasure Beast was known as a natural artifact-refining master. The moment a Primordial Treasure Beast died, it would naturally attract countless gazes.

That's because their corpse was a treasure itself!

But it was a pity that the Primordial Treasure Beasts were too rare. They rarely appeared, even in ancient times. Right now in the Great Thousand World, they were even fewer in number.

Not to mention how rare they were, just their name itself was horrifyingly huge. Therefore, even someone like Mu Chen, who knew little about the Divine Beast Clans, knew about this matter.

When Han Shan saw the shock written on their faces, he gently nodded his head. "According to the news, this Primordial Treasure Beast was extremely powerful when it was alive, approaching the realm of Super Divine Beasts. If it wasn't for that tribulation, it might have already evolved into a Super Divine Beast."

Once it evolved into a Super Divine Beast, then it would be able to refine powerful artifacts that were greater than Saint Artifacts…

However, Mu Chen and the rest did not feel regret because of it. On the contrary, their eyes lit up even more. That meant that the Primordial Treasure Beast had already touched the boundary of the Super Divine Beast.

That would also mean that its body might have… Quasi-Saint Artifacts.

"There should be more than one Quasi-Saint Artifact in its body…" Han Shan nodded his head with greed filling his eyes. If he could obtain a single Quasi-Saint Artifact, then his trip to the Divine Beast Origin would be completely worth it.

Hiss!

Mu Chen and the rest sucked in a cold breath. If this news spreads out, it would probably attract innumerable geniuses to head towards the Myriad Beast Graveyard.

"This kind of information… you're also willing to share it?" Mo Feng looked at Han Shan with disbelief. Who didn't want to solely occupy such a treasure land?

"All sorts of opportunities relies on strength."

Han Shan faintly smiled. "Not to mention the dangers in the Myriad Beast Graveyard, just the region that the Primordial Treasure Beast had fallen in alone would have some difficult things to handle… Furthermore, the most crucial matter is that I'm not the only one who knows about this."

"Back then, aside from the experts of my clan, there were experts of several other clans as well. I believe they will definitely set it as their objective this time around as well."

"Therefore, we require companions that we can trust."

Han Shan looked at Mu Chen's group and smiled. "I'll speak some offending words, if Mu Chen had not previously shown sufficient strength, I might not have come looking for you guys… So what are your answers now?"

Mu Chen looked at his group, all four of them had a light flashing in their eyes, then they interacted through voice transmission. A brief moment later, all of them had come to an agreement.

Thus, Mu Chen looked towards Han Shan with a smile on his face.

"Let's hope that our cooperation will be a joyful one."
