Chapter 573: Wanderer Castle

The Essence Crystals of Six-Eyed Iron Back Lions were different than the Essence Crystals of Tailun Continent’s Magical Beasts, and they contained pure and intense Soul Energy. Yang Ling tried the Essence Crystals of several Six-Eyed Iron Back Lions, and he discovered that even the essence Crystal of a Six-Eyed Iron Back Lion with the Ninth Level’s power still contained Soul Energy greater by much than the Essence Crystals of Tailun Continent’s Level Surpassing Magical Beasts.

Tsk, tsk! It was no wonder that the Great Dark Elder said that the Essence Crystals of the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ High-Level Magical Beasts were able to make Beast Soul Warriors, and it was no wonder that he asked him repeatedly to hunt 2,000 High-Level Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals.

After Yang Ling observed the Soul Ripples of several Six-Eyed Iron Back Lions’ Essence Crystals carefully, he saw the light and understood everything.

Squeak!

As a swooshing sound echoed out, the purple rat Little Ice jumped into Yang Ling’s shoulder and extended its paw to steal the Essence Crystal in Yang Ling’s hand. It wished to swallow it in one mouthful. It had been observing Yang Ling shaking the Essence Crystal that contained a large amount of energy in front of its eyes, and it had already started drooling

After Little Ice and the Thousand-faced Mink practiced for a period in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and absorbed a large amount of the white fog released by the Wizard Pagoda, they managed to advance into the peak of the Domain-Level and were getting closer to the advancement to God-Level.

The Life Spring’s water and Black Crystal Marrow could only be obtained by chance, and even though the Six Winged Angel Leader collected some Life Spring’s water every day, its amount was still too low, and it wasn’t realistic to count on Yang Ling offering them a large amount of Life Spring’s water. This was why their sole shortcut for making an advancement was devouring High-Level Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals.

“Hehe, if you dare to mess around again, you will be sent to the black room next time.” Yang Ling dodged the purple rat Little Ice’s paw and tapped its small head with his hand.

Squeak!

The purple rat Little Ice stroked its head sadly. It wasn’t willing to accept this, and it pounced again at the Six-Eyed Iron Back Lion Leader’s Essence Crystal that was in Yang Ling’s hands. It was a pity that Yang Ling managed to dodge it easily, and Little Ice failed over and over again. It didn’t manage to steal the Essence Crystal, and several swollen bumps appeared atop its head.

After Little Ice advanced to the Domain-Level’s peak, its speed turned too swift. But, it was still slower by much than Yang Ling that advanced into the Mid-Level Deity Stage.

“This little creature is too adorable, but it’s too greedy.” When the Chief Elven Priestess saw the actions of the mischievous purple rat Little Ice, she chuckled and held it before she stroked softy the bumps atop its head. Soon after, she waved her hand and released a faint green light. She cast the Regeneration Spell, and the bumps atop the little creature’s head instantly disappeared.

Squeak!

The purple rat Little Ice cried several times in comfort and started rubbing its body against the Chief Elven Priestess’s plump chest.

“Is this naughty creature throwing a tantrum or trying to take advantage of her?” When Yang Ling saw Little Ice rubbing its body against the Chief Elven Priestess’s plump chest naughtily, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

It seemed like all women loved adorable pets. This was the case for Sofia, Yuna, and even the Chief Elven Priestess with a Mid-Level Deity’s power wasn’t an exception. The Thousand-faced Mink and the naughty purple rat Little Ice were quite popular wherever they went.

“Oh, that’s right! It seems like your Magical Beasts are getting stronger. Are they making advancements forcefully through consuming Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals?” When the Chief Elven Priestess discerned that Little Ice still glared at the Magical Beast’s Essence Crystal in Yang Ling’s hands, she pondered over this, and she suddenly got a question about this.

“Huh? Those Magical Beasts have really consumed many Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystal, what about it?” Yang Ling gave a vague reply to dodge this question.

There were always three methods to make tamed Magical Beasts achieve an advancement. One was by feeding them Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals, the other was feeding them the Life Spring’s water and Black Crystal Marrow, while the last one was feeding them the white fog released by the Wizard Pagoda. Feeding on the white fog was the most important shortcut, and it was also Yang Ling’s greatest secret. He wouldn’t divulge to outsiders easily, and even if he wanted to mention it, he still wouldn’t be able to explain it in a short time.

“Yang Ling, consuming Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals will really make them achieve an advancement quickly, but...” The Chief Elven Priestess’s expression was grave, and she quieted for a moment before she said, “Consuming the larger amount possible of Essence Crystals isn’t the best for most Magical Beasts, and in ordinary situations, they are only able to consume the Essence Crystals of Magical Beasts of the same species or with similar attributes.”

“If the attributes of the Essence Crystal were special or weren’t comforting to them, yet the Magical Beast still swallowed the Essence Crystal, it wouldn’t just fail to achieve advancement, a mutation may occur, and its body may even explode and die. This is why you must be careful.”

Mutation?

Yang Ling recalled the beauty Sala that consumed too many Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals and wasn’t any longer neither a woman or a man. He couldn’t help but shake his head upon thinking of this. The Chief Elven Priestess explained the issue clearly, but he didn’t know which Essence Crystals every Magical Beast should consume, and this was why even though he seized a large amount of High-Level Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals in the Holy City, he didn’t dare to let the numerous Magical Beasts consume them so that an accident wouldn’t occur.

“Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals shouldn’t be swallowed arbitrarily, and one also shouldn’t fuse with Godheads negligently.” The Sword God spoke as he strode over with a smile across his face. They got the first great victory since they entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and anyone would be elated by this.

“Is it the same for Godheads?”

Yang Ling got tense. He had fused with the Godheads of Fabris and the Light Templar Anthony, and if any residual effect was left by them, he would be in great trouble. He recalled the Beauty Sala that was neither a woman or a man and couldn’t help but shudder with fear.

Power was really important, but it didn’t encompass everything in life, and he didn’t want to become a freak in his pursuit over power. His gains wouldn’t make up for his losses!

Dongfang Bubai was very powerful, but none wanted to become a freak like him.

“In ordinary situations, it’s best to fuse with Godheads with similar attributes, and you shouldn’t touch Godheads with different laws or even opposite laws.” The Sword God Gerald paused for a moment before he said, “For example, if an expert who practiced the Order Law fused suddenly with a Godhead that contained the Chaos Law, an issue will likely arise.”

“I have fused with a Godhead smoothly, and I don’t have an issue for now. Is it possible that some residual effects were left by it?” Yang Ling asked for guidance humbly. The Sword God and the Chief Elven Priestess weren’t any stronger than him, but they were Tailun Continent’s seasoned experts, and their knowledge was greater than his by much.

“This is... If there aren’t any issues now, then it wouldn’t have usually left any residual effects. But, there are too many different Godheads, and there is a great difference between people, none can guarantee that an accident won’t occur.” The Sword God Gerald quieted for a moment before he said, “Yang Ling, if it’s possible for you, you can go in the future to the Wanderer Castle in the Chaos Plane, Life Plane or other Main Planes to buy some Memory Crystals related to this, and you will find explanations about this.”

“Memory Crystals?”

Yang Ling looked in confusion at the Sword God. There was a Magical Beast Map in his Spatial Ring, but he had never heard about any Wanderer Castle or Memory Crystal.

Upon discerning that Yang Ling was quite confused, the Sword God sat down and started explaining this slowly.

It turned out that many Planes were quite vast, and this was especially the case for Main Planes like Life, Order, Death, or Power Planes. Those Planes’ expanse was vaster than Tailun Continent by many folds. The experts with great magical abilities desired to make another advancement and get at the same level as Plane Guardians and Plane Wanders. This was why they drifted between different planes, and they traveled through Spatial Turbulence.

However, ordinary people weren’t powerful enough to travel through a Spatial Turbulence, and they could only use a fixed Plane Channel to go to another Plane to explore it or just travel within their own Planes. They could only travel in a single region with a limited scope!

The people constructed Wanderer Castles in many places so that they could exchange info more easily. Those castles provided travelers a lodge and info about different matters, and as the castles were developed further, they provided more services and turned more comprehensive. They also had a region for selling all kinds of Memory Crystals.

As the name implied, the Memory Crystals were crystal used to record a large amount of info. Low-Level Memory Crystals could be activated by infusing one’s Magical Power into them, but High-Level Memory Crystals could be activated just by Divine Power, and it was only God-Level experts that could use them. Memory Crystals weren’t like Illusion Crystals that could film a scenery, but they could still record a larger amount of content, while their form could also be changed freely. Even a single ring made out of it could record content with an astronomical number of words.

“It’s said that the Chaos Plane had the largest expanse and its expanse was bigger than the expanse of the Five Main Planes of Life, Order, Natural and Power added all together. It also has the highest number of Wanderer Castles and a large number of experts that came from various Planes assembled there. The variety of Memory Crystals there also the highest, and their content is more detailed. If you get a chance, you should travel to the Chaos Plane to buy several Memory Crystals.” When the Sword God Gerald saw Yang Ling listening to him attentively, he smiled and spoke frankly. “However, it’s just a saying, and I have never traveled to the Chaos Plane. I have no idea about its concrete situation.”

“After I finish dealing with the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ affair, I will probably go to other Planes. However...” Yang Ling recalled the warning given to him repeatedly by the Great Dark Elder and Dark Cavalry Commander, and he muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before he tried to sound out the Sword God and the Chief Elven Priestess. “I have heard that something great occurred in the Chaos Plane recently, I wonder what happened?”

“The Chaos Plane has a large expanse, and its situation is also the most chaotic. It doesn’t just have many powerful clans and Great Gods’ branches, many Alien Planes’ factions also infiltrated it to fight over different resources.” The Chief Elven Priestess’s expression was grave, and she exchanged a glance with the Sword God before she muttered to herself for a moment and said, “When we visited the Fire God Mountain recently, we heard Mr. Raymond saying several brief words about this. He said that several great factions started fighting, and their war was quite intense. Yang Ling, if it isn’t a pressing matter, you shouldn’t go to the Chaos Plane soon.”

Did several great factions start fighting?

When Yang Ling recalled the worried Great Dark Elder, he finally saw the light and understood many matters. If he didn’t guess wrong, the faction of the Dark Association’s backer, the King of Darkness, should be one of the great factions fighting. The Dark Great Elder knew how messy the current situation was, and this was why he advised Yang Ling repeatedly not to go to the Chaos Plane so that he wouldn’t suffer any mishaps.
