“They’re called the Dragon Race and are even divided into two types. It shouldn’t be too much to have more than a hundred of them.” Ye Chen was confused. “No matter how unlucky people are, it shouldn’t be a problem to nurture more than ten Divine Beasts. How can there not be any?”
He had never heard of anyone in the main world who had a Divine Beast of the Dragon Race.

Ye Chen hadn’t seen the Divine Beasts in the wilderness with his own eyes. However, he had the memories extracted by the Kun Peng and the information he bought from Fan City’s library. From this information, there were very few Divine Beasts in the world.

In the wilderness, it seemed that only continent-level experts could have a Divine Beast. Besides, there weren’t many of them, which showed how rare Divine Beasts were.

The reason why such a situation appeared wasn’t only because the probability of hatching a Divine Beast was low, but also because the conditions for a wild Divine Beast to accept someone to be its master were extremely harsh.

According to the legends, only people who were strong enough could obtain the recognition of a Divine Beast or forcefully subdue a Divine Beast, then help each other to cultivate such a powerful strength. Therefore, having a Divine Beast was practically the prerequisite for becoming a continent-level
expert.

What kind of existence was a continent-level expert?

The composition of mankind’s areas in the Primitive World, from huge to small, was divided into continents, regions, counties, and cities. These were gradually developed after the ancestors moved to the main world. The minimum price of power required by the rulers of each region was titled with the
level of this region.

For example, the City Level corresponded to the Million Level, the County Level corresponded to the Ten-Million Level, the Region Level corresponded to the Hundred-Million Level, and the Continent Level corresponded to the Pseudo-Star Level.
A Mystic Realm that Ye Chen had explored previously was transformed from a Pseudo-Star beast. If it was still alive and fought with the continent-level experts in the main world nowadays, without a doubt, the ancient beasts would most likely be beaten to a pulp by the continent-level experts.
This was the strength of a continent-level expert.

Ordinary people could never imagine it and wouldn’t even think about keeping up with them.

However, with a Divine Beast, it would be a different situation.

At that time, Wang Dong and Li Yan who had barged into the Divine Court might have only come in with the thought of trying to find advanced mutated beasts after accidentally discovering the foreign realm of the Primitive Burial Ground. It was probably because they learned that a large number of
mutated beasts had appeared in this place that they had the intention to kill the people here.

To people like them who had seen a wider world, the temptation of a Divine Beast was almost irresistible.
There were only a dozen or so continent-level experts in the entire Primitive World. They were all famous figures in the world. The Divine Beasts in their hands were also quite famous and were praised by the world.
Among them, there were several races of Divine Beasts that Ye Chen was familiar with, such as the race of Little Purple and Monkey.

As for the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng, these two ancient races seemed to have migrated to various foreign realms and were very difficult to find. Therefore, although he had heard of these Divine Beasts, they didn’t seem to exist among the mutated beasts announced by the continent-level
experts.

As for the Deep Sea Dragons, they had never appeared in any rumors related to Divine Beasts at all.

“Such a phenomenon might be because the continent-level experts hid their Dragon Race Divine Beasts.” Ye Chen pondered. “There’s another possibility. The Dragon Race nurturing method in the Wasteland Remembrance might have been lost in the outside world, so no one can nurture a Dragon Race
Divine Beast.”

These two guesses excited him.
If the first guess was right, it meant that this kind of Divine Beast definitely had a special ability, which was why it was hidden by the continent-level experts as their trump cards. If the second guess was right, then this would become Ye Chen’s unique Divine Beast nurturing method!
No matter which situation it was, it was beneficial for Ye Chen.

“If I remember correctly, the treasures used to stabilize the Python Race’s altar are also of the water type.” Ye Chen had a plan in mind. “Looks like I’ll have to find the cultivation arts inside tomorrow for the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to practice.

“However, if I let it practice the arts first every time, I’ll make the other four Divine Beasts unhappy. I have to find something for them to cultivate as well.” Ye Chen was a little distressed when he thought of the few Divine Beasts who had been enjoying the joy of quarreling. He sat on the ground and
started pondering.

He had no idea that the Li Residence’s underground palace being opened had caused a huge furor in Fan City. However, unlike his previous guess, the place with the greatest furor in Fan City wasn’t the Li Residence. The Li family who had originally mobilized a large number of people and mutated beasts
to surround the underground palace of the Pavilion attempted to hide this incident.

Not long after he escaped from the tunnel, the news reached the Li Residence’s hall.
An old man was stunned as he listened to his subordinate’s report. His entire body trembled and fell forward.

“Father!” A middle-aged man rushed forward to help the old man and shouted at his subordinates at the bottom of the steps, “Quickly help Old Master to rest, a bunch of idiots!”
A few subordinates immediately ran into the hall and helped Old Master Li up, carefully sending him to the bedroom.

Seeing that the old man had left, the middle-aged man’s face became completely sullen.

“The fire only happened a few days ago. How could such a thing happen? Didn’t I ask you to secure the backyard?!” His angry shout sounded in the hall. “There are so many people here, but you still lost the rare treasure that has passed down in the Li family for centuries. What’s the use of keeping you
here?”

“Master, we had already surrounded the Pavilion. At that time, the entrance to the underground palace was about to open, but the thief broke the Spirit Stone floor and flew away. That was really unexpected!”
At the bottom of the steps, a subordinate who was reporting the news kept kowtowing.

“I saw the tracking information on the treasure indicating that it went east before disappearing, If we chase after it now, we might be able to catch up!”

However, Master Li frowned and gave an unexpected order.

“We can’t chase after him. We can’t let other people know about this. All of you shut your mouths. Otherwise, don’t blame me for beating you up!”

This time, everyone was stunned.

“But the news about the destruction of the Mute Array in the Pavilion has long been spread. People outside have already started talking about all kinds of gossip. The City Lord Residence even said that they wanted to send someone here… How should we deal with this?” One of his subordinates mustered
the courage to ask.

“Tell people outside that the Pavilion was on fire last time and the foundation was damaged, so it collapsed in the end!” Master Li gritted his teeth and ordered, “As for the people from the City Lord Residence, we absolutely can’t allow them to enter.. The destruction of the Pavilion most likely has
something to do with them!”
