I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 783

Chapter 783: The Truth Behind the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool’s Unrest

After walking into the massive palace, they came to a cavernous hall furnished with red carpet, where many beast tribe cultivators had already gathered.

There were huge beasts over a thousand feet tall exuding vast auras, as well as tiny little beasts about a dozen centimeters that were nonetheless quite powerful as well.

Everyone gathered together as if this were a zoo.

There were beasts that were about the same stature as An Lin as well.

For example, some of the minotaurs, centaurs, and Dark Flame Monsters were humanoid in shape and size, which was also why An Lin and the others didn’t attract much attention when draped under their black cloaks.

After about another hour, the palace gates slowly closed, and a spell formation that isolated everyone from the outside world began to appear. It was clear that the City Lord had already arrived.

An Lin scanned his eyes through the beasts present to find that there were twenty-one Soul Formation Stage Soul Beasts as well as fifty-two Spirit Nurturing Stage Spirit Beasts here.

This was already quite a powerful lineup, and with the inclusion of the Jade Bone Immortal Bug, they would be the equivalent of a first-rate sect in the Kingdom of the Nine States. The Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool was not a power to be scoffed at. Apparently, there were four Dao Integration Stage mythological beasts among their ranks, placing them head and shoulders above their neighboring powers.

However, all four mythological beasts were apparently extremely violent and couldn’t cooperate with one another as they would fight whenever they met. Thus, the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool was essentially split up into four large regions, over which each of the four mythological beasts presided.

Their favorite pastime was to fight one another, which certainly made sense, given the fact that they were beasts from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.

It was exactly because of this that the colossus that was the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool was actually a colossal power that none of their neighboring powers were concerned about.

They were violent and powerful, but they were only interested in fighting among themselves!

However, this happy balance had recently been shattered.

This was because the beast tribes had grown even more violently, and they fought not only just among themselves now, but also against other powers. Apparently, a nearby mid-grade power, the Green Soul Tribe, had already been razed to the ground as a result of this unrest.

Just as An Lin’s mind was beginning to drift, a massive spatial rift began to appear.

The rift split open, and a huge bug made its appearance from the rift. This was a pristine white bug that appeared to be a massive python with no scales.

Its body was several hundred feet in length, and its entire body was shiny and glowed like a white jade. There were long feelers growing around its nose, and its eyes were as beautiful as a pair of sapphires.

Even though this was a bug, An Lin felt like this was the prettiest bug he had ever seen in his life. Its appearance was extremely pleasing to the eye, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it resembled an artistic masterpiece.

This was most likely the Jade Bone Immortal Bug responsible for gathering everyone here.

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug swept its eyes across the entire palace, and it nodded with satisfaction upon seeing the entire palace full of beasts. “I have gathered everyone here today as I have a big opportunity to bestow upon you all!”

Its voice was extremely pleasing to the ear as well.

Perfection! This was true perfection!

This was definitely a Celestial Maiden among bugs that would be able to entrance all bugs that laid their eyes upon it.

All the beasts’ eyes lit up upon hearing its words, and they all stared at the Jade Bone Immortal Bug with scorching light in their eyes.

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug continued, “I trust that everyone is aware of the phenomena that have taken place at the Realm of the Fallen Demonic Blood Kirin, which was one of the mythological beasts of our beast tribes.”

All the beasts present nodded with heavy expressions.

“If the Vast Land of Blood appears within the Realm of the Fallen Demonic Blood Kirin, crimson light is going to enshroud the entire sky, upon which the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool will become a truly terrifying land of senseless slaughter. When that time comes, most of the beasts are going to lose all sanity and be reduced to killing machines governed only by their most primal instincts of slaughter!

“A passageway connecting the Vast Land of Blood to the outside world is already gradually being opened up, and many of the beast tribes have already been affected. This situation will worsen as the passageway opens up further.

“A while ago, four Return to Void Stage immortal beasts entered the passageway and had all gone insane upon their return. During our efforts to slay those four immortal beasts, another one of our immortal beasts had unfortunately passed away.”

All the beasts present drew a collective sharp intake of breath as they all looked at one another.

An Lin was also shocked to hear this. So that was how the five Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool mighty figures had died? What a terrifying place to be able to drive even Return to Void Stage mighty figures insane!

“Yesterday, Ghost Emperor Po Jun from the Opposite Shore Realm made a trip here to purge all those among us who have been affected by the Vast Land of Blood. All those that have gathered here today have survived the purge, and therefore, you have the right to enter the Vast Land of Blood!”

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug’s words were vehement and fervent, but An Lin’s lips twitched upon hearing them.

A purge? So killing all the abnormal beasts and leaving the unaffected ones alive was their idea of a purge? What a f*cking barbaric method…

All the beasts’ flesh crawled upon hearing this.

They all noticed one detail. They had to survive a purge for the right to enter the Vast Land of Blood? This was a terrifying place that could drive even Return to Void Stage mighty figures insane!

They wouldn’t dare to go there even if the Jade Bone Immortal Bug begged them to go!

“I know what you’re all thinking; that this is an extremely terrifying place, right?

“Wrong! The Divine Bat Emperor has already sent scouts into the Vast Land of Blood. That place is inaccessible to Dao Integration Stage mighty figures, and its influence is especially potent on Return to Void Stage mighty figures, but it has negligible negative effects on beasts below Return to Void Stage.

“There have been many groups of Spirit Nurturing and Soul Formation Stage cultivators who have entered the Vast Land of Blood before making safe returns. Not only that, but they also encountered many extremely attractive opportunities there.

“This is a land abundant with treasures, that has only just opened up after lying dormant for tens of thousands of years! Who doesn’t want the opportunity to explore a place where a Dao Integration Stage mythological beast has fallen? The Divine Bat Emperor didn’t want to present these opportunities to other powers, so they have been presented to you all,” the Jade Bone Immortal Bug continued.

All the beasts listened in silence but did not dare to say anything.

“Aside from that, there is a mission of utmost importance that needs to be completed, upon which the survival of all the beast tribes hinges, and that is to find the Kirin Blood Jade! You need to find it and give it to the Divine Bat Emperor in order to facilitate closure of the passageway. Only then would this crisis be completely averted!

“The Divine Bat Emperor will grant whoever finds it three immortal tools and ten immortal pills! On top of that, they will receive the esteemed title of the Realm Guarding Beast General as well as the position of City Lord to five of the one hundred most important cities within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool!”

Upon hearing this, some of the beasts present were finally interested in the proposal.

“Now, who doesn’t want to go? If you all want to go, then I’ll take you all to the entrance of the Vast Land of Blood at once!”

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug’s voice reverberated throughout the palace and was greeted by deathly silence.

“Erm… My wife is due to deliver soon, so I won’t be able to go…” a huge crimson python said in a nervous voice.

The beasts gathered here weren’t stupid. They wouldn’t just take the Divine Bat Emperor’s word for it and just believe that the place was safe.

If it really was such a good place, then why were they working so hard to promote it? Even if it was to save the entire Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, they still weren’t willing to sacrifice their lives!

Splat!

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug’s white tongue suddenly extended through the air and instantly wrapped onto the huge crimson python’s body before swallowing it whole!

“Spare me! I won’t go back then! I’ll go with all of you!”

The crimson python had sh*t itself and begged for mercy in a panicked voice.

However, it was still swallowed up into the cavernous mouth of the Jade Bone Immortal Bug.

Gulp…

The Soul Formation Stage crimson python had just been swallowed alive.

All the other beasts present shuddered involuntarily upon seeing this.

An Lin felt like he had been blind for admiring the Jade Bone Immortal Bug. Its ghastly table manners instantly shattered An Lin’s glorious first impression of it.

This was like meeting a Celestial Maiden whose mouth opened up to be bigger than a hippo’s! It would be enough to put anyone off!

This beautiful immortal bug should be taking small, elegant bites of its prey. What the hell was this swallowing huge pythons whole business?!

“Who else doesn’t want to come?” the Jade Bone Immortal Bug asked.

“F*ck you and your Vast Land of Blood! I’m not scared of anyone!” A Soul Formation Stage skeleton took initiative and pounced toward the Jade Bone Immortal Bug with blue flames erupting all over its body.

There was no lack of cultivators like this in the beast tribes that were unafraid of death and had explosive tempers to boot.

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug extended its tongue again, and the skeleton didn’t even have a chance to dodge before it was swallowed as anguished howls reverberated throughout the entire palace.

“Who else doesn’t want to come?” the Jade Bone Immortal Bug asked.

All the beasts: “…”

Even an idiot would have figured out that things weren’t as simple as they appeared now.

If the Vast Land of Blood really was such a good place, then why was the Jade Bone Immortal Bug so intent on forcing all the beast cultivators present to go there?!

“Alright, seeing as everyone wants to go, then come with me!”

A satisfied smile appeared on the Jade Bone Immortal Bug’s face as it tore open a spatial rift.

At this moment, a voice suddenly said, “I’m not going.”
