Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 1745 - 652: Wrath of the Spirit King

Zhou Chun furrowed his brow as he looked at the stone wall, feeling quite troubled.

Even though it was unclear what lay inside, soone beating him to the punch was never a good thing.

Moreover, given the strength of the forbidden spell, it was likely set up by a Fifth Order being, and if he tried to break through, it might alert the other party.

However, even if that were the case, he couldn’t just leave empty-handed after coming all this way.

"Perhaps I can try that secret technique!"

After contemplating in front of the stone wall for a while, Zhou Chun made his decision.

He approached the stone wall, ford seals with his hands, and quickly cast the third layer of the "Minor Five Elents Barrier-Breaking Mysterious Light" secret technique.

This ti, instead of directly striking the stone wall with the Five-Colored Spiritual Light ford by the secret technique, he transford it into a five-colored garnt draped over himself before charging straight at the stone wall.

It was clear to see that as Zhou Chun’s body contacted the stone wall, the five-colored garnt on him shone with intense brilliance, its light visibly dimming to the naked eye.

Nonetheless, the third layer of the "Minor Five Elents Barrier-Breaking Mysterious Light" did not disappoint his expectations. This secret technique, which took him several centuries to master, ultimately allowed him to penetrate the barrier and erge in a new cave.

While it was terd a new cave, this was not entirely accurate since it was actually part of the outer cave, akin to a hollowed-out section within the mountain wall.

This cave wasn’t deep or large, being only three or four yards deep and just over a yard high.

However, at the cave’s depth, there existed a fissure possibly leading elsewhere, approximately a foot wide, from which threads of Golden Fiend Energy occasionally seeped out and then dispersed from the cave to the outside ground.

And beside that fissure, soone had constructed a small altar out of an unknown golden beast bone, atop which a golden bone bowl was enshrined.

Zhou Chun’s gaze fell upon the bone bowl, and he could clearly see that about half a bowl’s worth of golden liquid had already accumulated inside.

"This style doesn’t seem like sothing from our Human Cultivators. It appears that those who were here first were indeed the three major Alien Races!"

He murmured to himself, releasing his Divine Sense to carefully observe the beast bone altar.

After this inspection, Zhou Chun roughly understood the purpose of the item.

This beast bone altar seed to operate like a self-functioning formation, designed to gather and attract the Golden Fiend Energy present here, purifying and concentrating it through thods Zhou Chun couldn’t comprehend, eventually forming the golden liquid inside the golden bone bowl.

The golden liquid itself should be a highly condensed form of the Golden Fiend Energy, essentially a highly refined Golden Qi.

And the Innate Golden Evil Qi speculated by Tianjing True Person seems not to exist for now.

Perhaps it once existed, but now it is gone.

Without the Innate Golden Evil Qi, Zhou Chun’s plan to enhance his success rate in Nascent Soul Formation was naturally unachievable.

However, the golden liquid in the golden bone bowl t the Golden Qi requirents he needed for "Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron" after forming an infant, so it wasn’t entirely fruitless.

The only question was whether this half-bowl of golden liquid was enough!

"Even if it isn’t enough, this item is still an excellent spiritual object to aid in cultivation; I cannot wait for it to accumulate further before retrieving it!"

With this in mind, Zhou Chun hesitated no longer, directly summoning a golden mana-powered hand to grasp the golden bone bowl.

But just as the mana-powered hand was about to touch the golden bone bowl, several beams of golden light suddenly burst forth from within the beast bone constructing the altar, effortlessly disintegrating the mana-powered hand.

A closer look revealed that these beams of golden light were actually seven golden beetles.

These golden beetles were about the size of eggs, covered in golden markings, with mouths full of sharp teeth.

The earlier mana-powered hand wasn’t so much disintegrated by them as much as it was devoured.

"What kind of demon insect is this? It looks sowhat similar to a Soul-Devouring Demon Insect, but why is it entirely golden? Could it be so mutated demon insect?"

Zhou Chun regarded the seven golden beetles with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with puzzled curiosity.

Though he hadn’t focused much on insect expelling techniques after his Core Formation, his knowledge of various strange and demon insects was still considerable, almost comparable to many Insect Cultivators.

The golden beetles before him closely resembled a kind of rare insect known as the "Soul-Devouring Demon Insect," a creature seen in the classics, inherently possessing powerful "soul-devouring" abilities, capable of devouring anything imbued with spiritual energy, including spells and dharma treasures!

When a spell lands on them, unless it exceeds their innate grade by a significant margin, it will simply be swallowed and extinguished by them.

If they bite into any magic artifact or dharma treasure, the spiritual power within would be drained, rendering it useless!

In essence, once these rare insects gather in sufficient numbers and advance to a certain level, they beco nearly invincible.

The ans to counter them are exceedingly scarce, possible only through the unique talents of very few demon beasts.

These insects once caused quite a stir in the Cultivation World, and it was said that a God Transformation Venerable intervened to wipe out their population.

However, the "Soul-Devouring Demon Insect" only poses a significant threat to cultivators like Zhou Chun at the Golden Core Late Stage if they exist in large numbers.

Now, with just seven golden beetles, even if they truly were "Soul-Devouring Demon Insects," he could simply release his Spirit Pet to physically eliminate them!
