Chapter 384 Disappearance
On the other side, outside the Divine Country.
A party of seven stood outside the gates of the Divine Country.
One of them, a man in a red robe, took out a white jade-colored sharp tooth that was two meters in length and tossed it lightly into the air. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
The white jade-colored tooth pierced through the void directly.
A purple-colored circular portal that people could pass through remained in front of them.
After using it once, the surface of the white jade-colored tooth dimmed, and the man in the red robe retrieved it.
"Let's go," he said, leading the way into the portal.
"What did you just use?" someone curiously asked.
"It's the tooth of the King of the Void Hunters," the man in the red robe explained. "In ancient times, there was a peculiar species known as the Void Hunters. Among them, a rare few individuals would awaken a talent called 'Void Wormhole,' which allowed them to create wormholes for others to traverse and even pass through the crystal barriers of the Divine Country. Unfortunately, that species has gone extinct, and now no more can be found."
"To possess such a talent and yet to have perished is truly a pity," someone remarked regretfully.
The ability to pass through the crystal barriers of the Divine Country was indeed a formidable talent.
What was most concerning was the capability to create wormholes, allowing others to also enter the Divine Country; that was terrifying.
If it were merely about entering the Divine Country, it would not matter much, since this method was not unique to the Void Hunters. However, the fact that they could bring other species into it was something unheard of before.
"With such means at their disposal, it is no wonder that species was eradicated," Meng Fengye shook his head.
A man with no guilt can bear the crime of possessing a jade; with such a capability, they were naturally feared by the divine.
Even if they had not been annihilated today, sooner or later, they would have attracted the attention of an enemy they shouldn't have due to this talent.
Being able to enter the Divine Country was merely a means and did not mean that one could necessarily confront the gods.
If the gods truly resolved to kill someone, unless the target was also of Divine Level or had the protection of gods, escape was almost impossible.
After the seven entered, in the distance behind them, atop a mountain,
two soldiers clad in camouflage, lying on the mountaintop, spoke into their headsets, "Report, the targets have entered the Divine Country."
"Withdraw personnel, leave Beast Taming for surveillance."
"Yes."
...
Half a month went by.
Chen Xing, who was cultivating his Beast Taming, received the news.
None of the seven Ascension Beast Tamers who had entered the Divine Country had left.
Also, on the third day after their entrance into the Divine Country, high-energy fluctuations were detected from within.
"We've already tried to persuade them, but good words can't convince a damn ghost," Dong Fang said somewhat regretfully.
"When is your Beast Taming going to make a breakthrough to Ascension?" Chen Xing glanced at him.
"I'll wait a bit longer," Dong Fang shook his head. Although it wasn't impossible to force a breakthrough, he wanted his Beast Taming to improve a bit more, aiming to step directly into the third phase of Ascension if possible.
And there was no rush at the moment, as the situation in Great Xia wasn't so urgent that he needed to force a breakthrough.
Individuals like Dong Fang were not the only ones in Great Xia; several others were also referred to as Ascension reserves, able to step into a higher realm at a moment's notice in case of emergency.
However, surpassing the peak stage was the best time to lay the foundation; amassing enough at this stage could save quite a bit of time in the Ascension Realm.
"If these people all died in there, I guess their backing factions won't sit still," Dong Fang said with a grave tone.
Having spent so many years in the Exotic Region, the impression that stuck with him the most was that these Exotic Region Beast Tamers had the nature of jackals and wolves!
Given the chance, they would definitely not be stingy in climbing up to take a bite, sometimes they would pick a fight unreasonably.
Not to mention this time, with so many ascended missing in the Divine Country, it was definitely a good opportunity for them to cause trouble.
If there were only one family, perhaps they would lie low, but with so many involved, it's likely they would join forces.
They would take the disappearance of the Ascension Beast Tamers as an excuse to make a fuss.
It's uncertain how the higher-ups would handle this, but Dong Fang was set on not backing down.
If it really came to a critical point, he would only have his own Beast Taming to forcefully breakthrough.
And fight a battle with this pack of jackals and wolves.
"If they can't sit still, then just beat them until they do," Chen Xing suddenly asked, "By the way, have you found the Element Holy Crystal?"
"Found it," Dong Fang replied, "I came here this time to hand over the item to you. Although this crystal contains a lot of energy, and supposedly fragments of laws, it can't be directly absorbed. Direct absorption could drive a Beast Taming beast insane."
As he said this, Dong Fang waved his hand.
Four huge crystals appeared on the ground.
Each crystal was the size of a football, with different elements flowing within them.
Two of them had hurricanes inside, as if there were two miniature tornadoes.
Another was filled with flames, which were still burning away inside the crystal.
The last one contained a pool of water, which flowed in a circular shape, gently circulating.
Chen Xing didn't really have any specific requirements for the attributes of the Element Holy Crystals; after all, as long as it was an Element Holy Crystal it would do, regardless of which element it actually was.
"Two of them were from Ying Wushang's private collection. Hearing that you wanted them, he took them out. The other two we obtained through trade with the Eagle Federation and the Polaris Federation. They each had a laboratory studying these Element Holy Crystals, but after researching for over a hundred years, they haven't discovered anything. Those two labs also lacked funds and grants. We offered a high price and the heads of the labs handed them over directly," Dong Fang explained with a smile.
"...That casual, huh?" Chen Xing was somewhat silent.
The heads of these two labs were so audacious.
"After researching for so many years and coming up with nothing, it's just an annual expense. Besides, the Exotic Region has been studying the Element Holy Crystals for ten thousand years and still can't figure out a use for them. At most, they can only serve as 'power banks' for certain prohibitions. So as long as the price is right, it's not difficult to get their hands on them," Dong Fang chuckled.
"Thanks!" Chen Xing said.
"What's there to thank for? If you Ascended become more powerful, our country will be stronger and won't be bullied by foreign enemies," Dong Fang joked.
This was the special hidden treatment for Chen Xing and other Ascended; whatever they needed, the Great Xia officials would prioritize and help collect it.
Chen Xing smiled wryly, "Then you'd better ascend quickly, so you can enjoy this treatment too once you reach the Ascension Realm."
"Hahaha, forget it," Dong Fang promptly waved his hands.
"Alright, I've delivered the goods and the message. I should be going now. Be careful these days; those factions that lost their Ascended won't just let it be, damn it... what a mess, they were greedy and wanted to go in themselves, yet when trouble arises, it spills over to us," Dong Fang sighed.
"Understood, I won't see you out. Take care on your way," Chen Xing waved his hand.
After Dong Fang left, Chen Xing couldn't wait to enter the Gourmet Space to start crafting the Law Crystal Grapes.
Behind Chen Xing, who was busy crafting the Law Crystal Grapes, the aura of the Suspended Island Sky Roc lying on the ground not far away suddenly surged violently.
At the spot where its head had been severed, a surge of demonic energy burst forth!
