Chapter 381 - Advancing in rank together
The elder who had spoken, felt his breathing turn sluggish. He actually felt cold sweat on his back as he was stared down by Sima You Yue.
The murder in her eyes was clear and he could feel that, if he had continued to persist in what he said, she would definitely kill him without hesitation.
It was just like it was back at their clan grounds. Halcyon had caused grievous injuries just by lightly lifting a hand.
“We agree.” Rong said.
“We agree as well.” King Flame’s mood was bad. After all, it was his clan member who was threatened.
Sima You Yue glanced at them, saying, “Then make the vow.”
The elders slowly took their vows, that they would follow Sima You Yue for a hundred years, allowing her to do what she wanted with them during this hundred years.
Just as they finished speaking, a white ray shot down from the sky and entered their bodies. This was the point of the vow. If they ever reneged on the vow they made, the heavenly law would kill them.
After that, Sima You Yue vowed as well, that she would return their freedom to them after a hundred years. After she made her vow, the same heavenly law descended, entering her body as well.
It was not only this. She also called out all the divine beasts that were above fifth rank and made them vow as well. Once they knew their kind and elders had already made the vows, these divine beasts did not hesitate and made the vows as well.
“You Yue, do we have to follow alongside you these hundred years?”
Although they were able to breathe in the space that Sima You Yue had given them, they could not cultivate like they did back at the original place. If they had to waste a hundred years because of this, they would be rather unwilling.
“You can relax. I believe that I will head to the primordial lands soon. Once I head up, I will naturally find a good place for you all to stay.” Sima You Yue said, “If there’s a need to, then I will look for you all.”
Rong nodded. It would be best if this were the case.
“Alright, you can go advance in rank now.”
Simaa You Yue asked those who were at the peak of divine rank to stay behind. She got the rest to return to the spirit pagoda.
“Which of you feel that they can already reach the rank of sacred beast?” She asked
She was shocked once she heard the answers. They actually had 30 of them in total amongst the two clans. Aside from the elders and Beast King, there were also those who would have risen to the rank of sacred beast long ago.
“Including Thousand Resonance, there are thirty-nine of you. You can cultivate here to see if the regulation is different.” Sima You Yue said.
“Okay.”
Although those spirit beasts did not know why Sima You Yue would get them to stay here, but as they were scattered around the mountain, they could feel the difference from the little world.
Sima You Yue took out the pill furnace and ingredients and began to refine pills. The divinity pill was useful not only to people who were at the peak of spirit paragon, but also to spirit beasts.
Although the ingredients were hard to find, and the refinement was rather difficult too, the rank wasn’t high. It was only sixth rank.
She first discussed with Bei Gong Tang, and got her to tell Yun Jin Wei that they wanted to stay in this place for a few days. Then, she told her where they were, to get Bei Gong Tang and the others to look for her if they needed her.
After that, she began to refine the Divinity pill.
She had never refined the divinity pill before. So when she first started, she failed many times and wasted a lot of ingredients. However, she had many ingredients and were enough for her to squander.
The Divinity pill was a heaven-defying pill. The refining process was complex, such that she could not help but sigh. Frankly, she had never failed like this before.
On the bright side, her mental strength was huge. There were a few times she had failed but managed to barely rescue the entire furnace of pill ingredients. She only managed to refine thirty nine Divinity pills after four whole days of refining.
She gave out the entire furnace of pills to every single spirit beast. She got them to eat it and return to cultivating. After that, she continued to refine pills. Two days later, thirty Divinity pills emerged from the furnace
Sixty nine divinity pills and only sixty percent of the ingredients were successful and forty percent had been wasted. These few days, she had wasted several billion dollars worth of ingredients.
At the same time, the spirit beasts all advanced in rank to become sacred beasts.
Thirty- eight sacred beasts. Forty of them, Including her own. This type of force was a rare sight to see, even in the primordial lands.
“Are they all done?” She asked Halcyon.
Halcyon nodded, saying, “All of them have advanced in rank successfully.”
“Not bad.” Sima You Yue said, “Look at Thousand Resonance, who has already advanced to the sacred beast rank. She said happily, “Thousand Resonance, have you grown out your eighth tail yet? That’s fantastic! If you wish to transform, once this situation is over, I’ll talk to you again about refining some pills.”
“Okay, Master.” Thousand Resonance waved his eight long tails and replied with glee.
He was ecstatic. Because he had followed her, he had risen from a fourth ranked Divine beast to a sacred beast in the short span of a few years. His leaps in strength was as easy as drinking water.
Right now, his eighth tail had grown, increasing the strength of his bloodline by quite a substantial amount.
Sima YouYue looked at the other sacred beasts, and the Snow Wolf king, Rong, walked over and said, “Thank you.”
It was always their dream to reach the Sacred rank, and was the mission of generations of their ancestors. Right now, it had actually been accomplished in their generation.
Furthermore, if it were not for her Divinity pill, it was definite that not all of them would advance in rank successfully.
“You’re welcome. After all, we’re a team now. I will naturally think better of you. If your performance is satisfactory, if there is any of your clan that wants to rise to the sacred rank, I can help them too. However, if I am displeased, I would rather crush the pill than give it to you.” As Sima You Yue spoke, she glanced at the sabre-tooth tigers.
It was not like the Sabre-toothed tigers didn’t understand her. If they helped her half-heartedly, there was no way she would give those high-quality things to them.
After all, she was only kind to her people!
“Alright, let’s head back.” She kept all the spirit beasts into the spirit pagoda, then rode Little Roc back to the campsite.
Seeing that she had returned, Bei Gong Tang walked over and said, “You’ve finally returned. We would have gone to look for you if you had taken any longer.”
“What’s up?” She asked while hopping off Little Roc.
“Yun Clan Leader said that they had found those who had chased after You Lin and the others before.” Bei Gong Tang said, “However, it looks like these people are about to leave, so we have to get ready to act.”
“We’ve found them? Where?”
“They’re in the city right in front.” Bei Gong Tang replied.
“Okay, Fatty, go and tell Yun Clan Leader that we are ready to act anytime.” Sima You Yue said.
Fatty Qu, who was at the side, glanced at Sima You Yue and his mouth muttered while he went to where the Yun clan were.
Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang returned to her tent. Bei Gong Tang saw the lethargy in her eyes and asked, “What have you been doing these few days? You look so drained. Didn’t you let those Spirit beasts advance in rank?”
“Right.” Sima You Yue ate a bit of the soul fluid, saying, “In order to be safe, I refined a batch of Divinity pills. I just refined this not long ago.”
“How was it?”
Sima You Yue beamed, saying, “Those pills were relatively hard to refine. However, the result wasn’t bad. With the Sabre-tooth tigers and snow wolves added together, we have thirty sacred beasts. Thousand Resonance advanced to the sacred rank as well. With Halcyon, we have forty sacred beasts! Adding the divine beasts on to the numbers, even if we were battling the Sage Pavilion and Zhan clan, we wouldn’t fall behind!”
