The Venerable Monster Tamer – Chapter 574

Section 29: Soul Calming Pot

June 18, 2014 Author: Gu Zhenren

“This… this Son of Earthly Luck actually ran away?” A Great Emperor was dumbfounded.

“This is unreasonable. Why would she give up the opportunity to join our sects and instead choose three treasures?” Someone frowned.

“Perhaps she believed that once she grabbed the colored jade slip, she would be trapped by the halo and fixed within the crystal palace. Everyone around her would be an enemy, which is why she acted this way,” speculated an Emperor.

No one spoke further, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors fell silent.

The situation in Ghost Continent was far more complex than in Xingzhou.

Bone Emperor, their high-level Emperor-level expert, was caught in the aftermath of a battle between Saints in the Sea Eye Abyss and was severely injured. His combat power was greatly reduced and he was still recuperating, yet to fully recover.

Not only did the Three Sovereigns scheme and distrust each other, but there were also intricate enmities and grudges among the Five Emperors. This was because most of the Emperor-level powerhouses in Ghost Continent were Ghost Emperors and Ghost Monarchs resurrected through the Wine Pool Meat Forest.

Therefore, most of the eight powerhouses hailed from other continents, bringing with them a multitude of past grievances and entanglements. Only one or two were natives of Ghost Continent who had ascended step by step.

In Xingzhou, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were nurtured locally, forming a common front with inherent camaraderie. Moreover, with a supreme expert like You Huang leading the overall situation, the situation remained stable.

However, in Ghost Continent, the original supreme expert, Bone Emperor, was injured and unable to maintain order, while the other Emperors acted independently.

Facing the immense cake of belief in Ghost Continent, they naturally had to coordinate and negotiate to divide the benefits.

However, this process was countless times more arduous than in the other eight continents.

Xingzhou and other continents had already divided the beliefs of their respective regions and were actively recruiting Sons of Luck, while they were only just beginning to implement their plans.

The concrete outcome of their implementation was the establishment of this crystal palace, where treasures and jade slips were laid out. None of the eight of them could intervene, and they could only observe the choices made by these Sons of Luck.

Cao Youdao and Xiao Yan were among the first wave of Sons of Luck welcomed by the crystal palace.

To lure these individuals into the palace, a Great Emperor personally controlled a Nightmare Horse, circling behind Cao Youdao’s group and forcing them forward.

Initially, all the Emperors were secretly excited.

One Son of Heavenly Luck, one Son of Earthly Luck, and four Sons of Human Luck. This was undoubtedly an auspicious start.

The Sons of Human Luck were not as crucial, but the Son of Earthly Luck drew attention, and the Son of Heavenly Luck was of utmost importance. In an entire era, there were only three or four Sons of Heavenly Luck, never exceeding five.

As a result, the Son of Heavenly Luck was claimed by one of the Three Sovereigns, while the other four Sons of Human Luck were divided, with two joining one Great Emperor and two joining another Emperor and another Emperor.

But then, something entirely unexpected happened. The Son of Earthly Luck actually fled!

This was utterly outrageous.

After the long planning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and with so many colored jade slips in the crystal palace, a mere young girl had completely ignored them.

“What did she take?” After a long silence, the Underworld Emperor broke the quiet.

“One Immortal Pouch and two Demon Soldiers.”

“Hmm, I saw. Was it the semi-Supreme grade Immortal Pouch sponsored by Lord Bone Emperor?”

Bone Emperor’s mouth twitched, but he remained silent.

“And what about those two Demon Soldiers?”

“A Xuanji Mirror and a Soul Calming Pot,” someone said bitterly.

Everyone was astonished: “This child has sharp eyes indeed. The three treasures she chose are all ranked among the top five in the palace.”

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were even more speechless. Although their foundations were deep, the items they offered were mere trifles to their respective Immortal Pouch Worlds.

However, these were of immense value to a low-level Beast Tamer like Xiao Yan.

The most crucial point was that it felt incredibly bad.

It was as if they, the dignified Emperor-level powerhouses, had been toyed with by a mere young girl.

“The perspective of this Son of Earthly Luck is quite profound. Her performance is truly awe-inspiring. Luck is not static; perhaps this young girl is a growing Son of Heavenly Luck,” Bone Emperor sighed.

“According to the agreed-upon terms, for Sons of Luck who are wandering outside like her, we will take turns recruiting them individually. We cannot resort to force, only coercion or temptation, otherwise, we would be breaking the rules,” the Yin Emperor interjected.

“Alright, then let’s draw lots. We’ll determine the order. Each person will have seven days. After this time, no one can act again. I trust no one will break this rule,” the Corrupt Emperor said impatiently.

…

The wind whipped against her face, her dark hair fluttering in the breeze.

Xiao Yan sat steadily on the back of her Curse Crow, engrossed in sorting through her recent gains.

“This Immortal Pouch has such a large space!” the young girl exclaimed in amazement.

She had never seen such a large Immortal Pouch before.

“This is only a semi-Supreme grade item, at most a flawed one. A true Supreme grade Immortal Pouch not only has a space more than ten times larger, but it also possesses growth potential,” Chu Yun said from within the ring.

He did not reveal the crucial secret. Xiao Yan’s current level was too low, and abruptly imparting the true worldview to her might ruin her.

When a frog in a well is pulled out and suddenly faces a vast world, it may not be a blessing for the frog.

Overwhelmingly difficult goals often extinguish a person’s motivation.

Because this goal exceeds their capabilities, they realize they cannot achieve it, leading to a passive response.

Only when this frog in the well continuously trains and grows within the well, eventually becoming a giant frog, a bullfrog, or even sprouting wings. When it emerges from the deep well using its own strength and faces the real great world, only then will its true understanding begin.

And at that time, the strength and willpower it has forged will help it stabilize its mind and bravely accept the truth.

Cramming education is not advisable; sometimes haste makes waste. Going with the flow yields twice the result with half the effort.

“Master, how do I use this Xuanji Mirror?” The young girl was as excited as a little sparrow.

“This mirror possesses the cultivation of a Tribulation Demon, sealed layer by layer. To use it, you must break the seals,” Chu Yun replied.

The young girl was startled, her voice tinged with disappointment: “Tribulation Demon? Wouldn’t that require at least a Hegemon-level Spirit for control? I’m currently only an Esoteric practitioner. How long will it take until I can use it?”

“Don’t worry, the cultivation of this Xuanji Mirror is sealed. For now, you only need to break the first layer of the seal, restoring its cultivation to the Great Demon level, and you can use it. This mirror is excellent, crafted with ingenious techniques. It can show future visions, which will be very helpful for you to avoid misfortune and seek fortune,”

Chu Yun explained slowly: “The jade pot is similar. Its cultivation is that of a hundred-thousand-year-old Tribulation Demon, but it is sealed. You can gradually lift the seals and restore its cultivation step by step.”

“Master, what’s special about this jade pot?”

“Heh heh, this is the Soul Calming Pot, specialized for dealing with souls. It can absorb ghosts whose cultivation is not vastly different into this pot. The pot will completely dissolve them and transform them into a high-grade pill – Jade Soul Nectar. If you drink it, it will enhance your soul’s foundation. It’s definitely a powerful tool for aiding cultivation!” Chu Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Yan’s face lit up with joy.

These three treasures, each with its own merits, were of great help to Xiao Yan. With them, her cultivation speed would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Especially the last item, the Soul Calming Pot, was as valuable to Xiao Yan as the Lishan Dragon Eye Flower Branch was to Chu Yun in the past.

However, Xiao Yan’s current Spirit had reached its limit and could not yet utilize these three treasures, so she had to put them away for now.

“Huh? There’s someone over there!” While flying, Xiao Yan suddenly spotted a person standing on the vast Yin Corrupt Wasteland.

This person had an austere and elegant bearing, clad in a black robe and wearing a strange yet exquisite mask. He stood with his hands behind his back, utterly silent.

Involuntarily, he gave Xiao Yan a strong spiritual impact.

It was as if this mysterious man was the center of the universe, around whom the sun and moon revolved, and under whose feet the world lay.

“Hahaha, one has finally arrived,” Chu Yun chuckled upon seeing the figure and quietly instructed Xiao Yan, “Ignore him and fly past.”

“Oh!” Xiao Yan, obedient to Chu Yun’s words, immediately shifted her gaze and changed her flight path.

Night Emperor was frustrated.

He watched Xiao Yan fly away, utterly speechless.

He had intended to attract the young girl’s attention, then move her with his words and take her as his disciple.

However, he hadn’t expected that his confidently projected personal charm would not only fail to attract the young girl but would instead cause her to change direction and flee from him.

Night Emperor touched the mask on his face. Was it this that caused the problem?

He considered that the dark mask indeed exuded a terrifying aura. No wonder Xiao Yan fled.

“But do you think you can escape just like this?” Night Emperor emitted a snort from his nose, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

“Master, that person reappeared!” A moment later, Xiao Yan saw Night Emperor again.

“He’s really persistent. Hehehe, I’m starting to understand. It seems the Emperors of Ghost Continent are not united. Don’t worry, just fly past him this time,” Chu Yun said with a smile.

Caw, caw, caw…

The Curse Crow cawed joyfully and ostentatiously flew directly over Night Emperor’s head.

Night Emperor: “…”

“Hahaha, this girl is too spirited!” The Three Sovereigns and Four Emperors, who had been secretly observing, all smiled as they saw Night Emperor deflated.

“Judging by this, we might still have hope later,” the Corrupt Emperor said, his eyes glinting. He was third in line, with the Underworld Emperor being second.

“Hmph!” Night Emperor flicked his sleeve, and the light of Daoization immediately erupted.

Regardless of the cultivation methods used by the Three Sovereigns and Four Emperors to remotely observe the scene, they were all disrupted by the light of Daoization.

“Tsk, this Night Emperor really can’t take a joke.”

“Boring.”

“Another Azure Flame Divine Demon has passed the three trials. Deal with them. I doubt even Night Emperor would dare to cheat and violate the signed contract!”

“Underworld Emperor, aren’t you going?”

“No, with you all taking action, what are a bunch of Azure Flame Divine Demons? I won’t compete this time.”

The Emperors disappeared one by one, leaving only the Underworld Emperor motionless.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and a meaningful smile adorned his face.

“Chu Yun, so it was you…”
