The Master of Beasts-Chapter 762 - 237: Relics

"Senior Brother Gu, this is the Immortal Tea I have cherished. You are the first to taste it. Come!" invited Chen Jiuge.

"Oh, then I am truly honored, Senior Brother," said Gu Zhengyu.

With a light sip, Gu Zhengyu's eyes revealed a hint of amazement, "Good tea!"

"Sweet entrance, lingering aftertaste, a unique Spiritual Energy like flowing clouds that shakes the Divine Soul, truly excellent tea!"

Chen Jiuge smiled slightly. How could it not be good? This is the first Spirit Tea Tree in the Chaos World. If it weren't for my low cultivation, this tea tree would definitely become an Innate Spirit Root!

"Senior Brother, you must have something important to discuss!"

Putting down his teacup, Gu Zhengyu bitterly smiled, "There is indeed something."

"Don't hesitate to speak!" Chen Jiuge still cherished the bond between them.

"The first small matter is that I am now removed. I wonder if Junior Chen is willing to give me the chance to be called City Lord?" Gu Zhengyu said with a smile.

"There's no need to be called City Lord. If Senior Brother is willing, you can always call me Junior Brother!" Chen Jiuge smiled and shook his head.

"Ah, that's not possible. Managing such a large Star Moon City, Junior Brother still requires enough authority; the term 'Junior Brother' need not be mentioned again. If Junior Brother is willing, then Senior Brother would stay here!" Gu Zhengyu said seriously.

"Since Senior Brother puts it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

"Good!"

"Now onto the main business. City Lord, do you remember the Secret Technique I gave you before?" Gu Zhengyu asked seriously.

"Of course I remember, and I've studied it a bit," Chen Jiuge said with a smile. It was because of this Secret Technique that I obtained the 'Undying Technique' from Ying City, which almost all contributed by Senior Brother Gu's Secret Technique.

Then, in Chen Jiuge's shocked gaze, Gu Zhengyu actually slowly stood up!

Although his standing legs were still slightly trembling, they indeed supported him to stand, and Gu Zhengyu even took a small step.

"Wasn't it said that this was foundation damage caused by the backlash of the Great Dao?"

Chen Jiuge was puzzled, the backlash of a collapsing Great Dao is almost akin to the Great Dao personally striking you down, and such Dao wounds are basically incurable. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Even if you are a Daluo Cultivator, you cannot be cured from such a backlash!

Unless your cultivation alone can resist the entire Heavenly Dao!

"Because of that Secret Technique?" Chen Jiuge said in amazement.

"Aside from that Secret Technique, I can't think of any other reason!"

"Upon completely signing a Contract with the three Exotic Beasts you gave me, besides the expected feedback, I felt a mysterious energy enter my body from an unknown place!"

"I can't describe that energy, but I can feel that its level is very high, just that slight amount actually diluted the Dao injury on my legs!"

"If there were a little more, I might have fully recovered!"

"I suspect the origin of this Secret Technique is very unusual."

"Hmm, but what does it have to do with us? Besides, didn't Senior Brother already cultivate it?" Chen Jiuge said, somewhat puzzled.

"Moreover, there are too many mysterious things in the True Realm, and we can't possibly obtain or understand each one, can we?"

Chen Jiuge, calming down, didn't feel envious, especially as they already possessed the Secret Technique, after all.

It's just right that this Secret Technique is used for Little Nine, who has an unknown background with Daluo cultivation.

Gu Zhengyu silently took out a yellow map, speaking earnestly, "This is the ruins where that Secret Technique was discovered!"

"Ruins?"

In the True Realm, ruins are not like those in the ordinary world, merely to be gazed upon.

In the True Realm, places considered ruins are extremely ancient areas, containing countless opportunities, but the ruins have a very special aspect, they are dangerous!

The Nine Forbidden Lands are dangerous, right?

But compared to the ruins, they are far less. To exaggerate, it's like the difference between a minor witch and a formidable sorcerer!

"Does Senior Brother mean to explore these ruins?" Chen Jiuge frowned slightly, feeling reluctant internally.

Don't be deceived by appearances; Star Moon City might seem like a paradise, but that's only because of its remote location, lying on the very edge of the True Realm.

Coupled with the previous visitors from the Reincarnation Sacred Land, Star Moon City nominally belongs to them now. Moreover, with Chen Jiuge being a nominal Reincarnation Sacred Land disciple, even if reckoning comes, it will be the last batch.

However, seeing the current True Realm condition, it seems these Holy Lands are powerless for reckoning, as those terrifying creatures from Outer Heaven Chaos are coming!

They are the true mortal enemies of the True Realm!

After all, both the Underworld and Yang World dwell in the True Realm. No matter how fiercely they fight, they cannot destroy the True Realm.

But those Chaos Creatures are different, disregarding everything, viewing anything with a soul as prey, their survival meaning is devour, destroy, procreate!

"Indeed, don't you think it's a good opportunity, Junior Brother?"

"An ancient Secret Technique that can alleviate Dao injuries? Remember in ancient times, there were not as many refined cultivation techniques as today, how did they create such an advanced technique even for today?"

"Isn't the City Lord curious at all?"

"Perhaps we might discover secrets belonging to ancient times!" Gu Zhengyu said with fervor.

"What does that have to do with us?" Chen Jiuge responded unmoved.

"Junior Chen, before coming to Star Moon City, I had requested my father to inquire about the small world you were in before ascending!"

"How is it?" Chen Jiuge asked somewhat tensely.

Gu Zhengyu slightly shook his head, "The situation is complex."

"The Heavenly Gate Organization, I'm sure Junior Brother is aware. Back then, something unknown happened in the small world you were in, causing the sects to fail in constructing an ascension channel."

"This includes that the Heavenly Gate Organization had long sent people to infiltrate your Heavenly Realm!"

"However, there's a significant question, why would the Heavenly Gate Organization know about the Heavenly Realm's existence, when the small worlds under the True Realm are countless as stars!"

"And the Heavenly Gate Organization is the root cause of the current True Realm chaos. Though the situation now might have exceeded their expectations, an organization capable of sowing such chaos is no simple matter!"

"Why would such a large organization pay attention to such a small world?"

"Indeed, I am curious too!" Chen Jiuge followed up with the inquiry.

The matter of the Heavenly Gate Organization infiltrating the Heavenly Realm was informed to Chen Jiuge by Shuibing initially, which was why Chen Jiuge joined the Heavenly Gate. But even Chen Jiuge didn't understand why the Heavenly Gate would appear in the Heavenly Realm.

"My father also doesn't know, and the Supreme Elder we asked is unsure, but he gave a hypothesis."

"What hypothesis?"

"The Heavenly Realm might be the true True Realm!" Gu Zhengyu said astonishingly.

"What did you say?"

Chen Jiuge was shocked, his mind muddled, the Heavenly Realm being the True Realm? What kind of heaven-defying hypothesis is this!

"City Lord, I couldn't believe it initially either, but there's evidence!"

Gu Zhengyu shook his head with a bitter smile, "If the True Realm has always been the True Realm, then why have the ancient ruins that appeared in the True Realm been so few?"

"Why have the Nine Great Treasures never appeared since the beginning of the True Realm?"

"Wait, I'm not very knowledgeable about the ruins, but the Nine Great Treasures should have appeared, right?" Chen Jiuge frowned.

The inheritance of the Five Elements Sect is long-standing, so the understanding of the Nine Great Treasures is greater. Even as a Core Disciple like Gu Zhengyu knows quite a bit.

"They appeared once, but according to the analysis of those elders in the sect, all the hosts of these treasures were natives of the True Realm!"

"What?"

Chen Jiuge's spirit trembled, suddenly recalling why the Blood Soul Purple Woman subjected Li Sheng to Heavenly Punishment after recognizing him as master, for Li Sheng was a native of the True Realm!

"How could this be?"

"City Lord, Junior Brother, now do you understand why I must explore the ruins!"

"Only these ancient ruins might contain some clues!"

"Don't be deceived by the current turmoil in the True Realm, which appears like the arrival of a great era, but compared to the past great calamities of the Human Clan and Demon Clan, the difference is enormous!"

"Those Great Cultivators acted more due to the so-called Lifespan Calamity, the so-called great era. I have a hypothesis, maybe the great era hasn't arrived yet, and it's merely a rumor spread by some with intent!"

"Senior Brother, let me think about it and give you a response in a few days!"

"Alright."
