324: Chapter 307: Spreading the Teachings in a Dream 324: Chapter 307: Spreading the Teachings in a Dream Owen Bertram was actually extrely dissatisfied:
The Tree Demon’s Wooden Heart was eaten by the Insect Lord, the Fierce Fish was eaten by the Magpie, and the Crocodile Demon was swallowed by the second child.
The Mulberry People disappeared without a trace.
The gains from this battle were only the white bone magical instrunts from the Mulberry People and the Earth Demon’s Demon Heart and Demon Soul.
Is this all the revered Lord fought so hard for?
He took back the insects, and then used the Three-part Spirit Technique to retrieve the Earth Demon’s Demon Soul.
He refined the Demon Heart and picked up the white bone magical instrunts on the ground.
Before he had a chance to check them, he took out the spider-legged monster’s head that had been separated from the Divine Spirit Water.
He wanted to quickly figure out what these demons and ghosts were trying to do by colluding together.
The soul of the spider-legged monster was sealed inside her head—however, the followers of the Living Beings Sect carried a dangerous evil energy, which could easily cause demonic transformation or other dangers.
This head hadn’t completely died yet.
Generally speaking, being fused with Divine Water and then lted apart, most cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand such tornt and would definitely die.
It seed that the spider-legged monster saw Owen Bertram’s concerns, and provocatively opened her mouth, revealing a strange smile.
Owen Bertram was undeterred, but he hesitated, wondering whether to interrogate the Earth Demon’s Demon Soul first, when suddenly he heard the voice of Little Ghost Gregory Ryan coming from the Magpie, as if whispering in his ear, “Master, I can get rid of it.”
Owen Bertram was surprised: “Oh?”
Everyone who was cleaning up the battlefield saw the huge bird that had caught the Fierce Fish fly back, its gray feathers ssy, and its eyes staring viciously, blood red and filled with murderous intent.
Emma Scott and others subconsciously moved away.
The Magpie landed, screeched a strange cry, and spread its wings to cover its younger sibling.
Little Ghost Gregory Ryan hurriedly ca out, raising an arm with a Demon-subduing Pestle in it, and aid at the monster’s brow with a forceful jab.
Hiss—
The Demon-subduing Pestle penetrated directly in, without any damage to the body, but a hint of black smoke from the soul floated out and dissipated between the heaven and earth.
Owen Bertram understood: the evil peculiarity of the Living Beings Sect’s believers was not the sa as the demonic transformation brought about by evil energy, but rather, the oddity of the Ghost Spirit.
However, they had a unique secret thod that made them harder to deal with than ordinary Ghost Spirits, which is why the Horizon Bureau was initially powerless to deal with them.
The spider-legged monster was in great pain from the jab, and Owen Bertram did not hesitate to pull out her soul.
It turned out to be a strange soul with a spider for its lower body, a demon for its upper body, and only a head that looked human.
The overall strength of this monster had reached the Fifth Great Domain, but most of its combat power was obtained through terrifying body modifications.
Its true realm was only at the peak of the Second Level, and it had not even reached the Third Great Boundary.
It was easy for Owen Bertram to extract her mory.
Such garbage soul had little use, so he threw it into the Storage Brocade Pouch.
The coffin that originally belonged to the srizing Demon opened a crack, a ghost hand stretched out from inside, grabbed the soul and swallowed it in one bite.
Then a feeling rose up in Owen Bertram’s heart: dull and tasteless.
Perhaps it was because of Gregory Ryan’s pestle, the spider-legged monster’s mory was not only ssy but also chaotic and reversed.
The first part was her cultivation process.
She was a person of narrow-minded and extre nature, born into a small sect with ordinary qualifications.
Disappointed in life and cultivation, she didn’t reflect on herself, but blad the heavens for being unfair, and was insanely jealous of others for having a “good fate,” reaching a point of “hatred against the world.”
After that, she ca into contact with the Living Beings Sect and imdiately chose to follow it.
Then she suddenly had a stroke of luck; the success rate of the Living Beings Sect’s transformation was extrely low, but she succeeded every ti, gradually rising in rank within the sect.
All her previous desires were fulfilled, and her life was chaotic and lascivious.
Later, she and a large number of Living Beings Sect believers were summoned to Copper Gorge.
In her chaotic mory, Owen Bertram found two useful parts.
The first was that she encountered the Living Beings Sect in a dream, and then, guided by the dream, joined the sect and transford herself.
This was worth investigating.
The second part was about the Living Beings Sect’s activities in Copper Gorge.
They were summoned by an Altar Master, who controlled all the believers in the surrounding region.
The spider-legged monster was a Regional Altar Master.
Owen Bertram was secretly alert, realizing that the Horizon Bureau’s intelligence was seriously outdated, and they still thought the Living Beings Sect was developing slowly with few believers.
But now it seed that more than twenty people were attacking the Scott Clan and the Lloyd Sect, among which were several Fifth Great Domain strength believers.
There were also dozens of casualties this ti.
But according to the spider-legged monster’s mory, there should still be nearly a hundred believers in Copper Gorge!
And that wasn’t even all the forces the Altar Master could summon.
It seems that the Living Beings Sect’s use of dreams to spread their teachings had been very effective—Owen Bertram was also reflecting on the fact that many tis, cultivation relied too much on talent, qualifications, and chances.
Those cultivators with insufficient natural conditions might indeed put in terrifying efforts but still end up at the bottom of the Cultivation World.
But the world’s injustices extended far beyond the Cultivation World.
Would all living beings who felt they had not been “fairly treated” beco as extre as the followers of the Living Beings Sect?
Obviously not.
The purpose of the Copper Gorge operation, as declared by the Altar Master to the believers, was to have all the “transformation materials” obtained in this operation belong to the Living Beings Sect, as previously discussed with their partners—the Demon Clan and the Desolate Sea Alliance.
For example, so useful parts of Demon Plants and Demon Beasts.
In addition, the Demon Clan also promised to provide fifty demonic organs, which were definitely of high-quality transformation materials for the Living Beings Sect.
However, Owen Bertram always felt that there were other, bigger goals behind this.
The Living Beings Sect had a big appetite, and these benefits alone couldn’t satisfy an Altar Master.
Additionally, Owen Bertram learned an important point: the structure of the Living Beings Sect was organized from top to bottom.
They had a rather mysterious thod that allowed upper-level believers to find lower-level believers directly.
So the spider-legged monster had no idea how to contact the Altar Master.
Whenever there were matters, the Altar Master would directly communicate instructions to her soul like a long-distance transmission.
For example, the Altar Master would co to inquire about the ambush operation, whether successful or not, after two Shichen (four hours), and tell her what to do next.
That is to say, the spider-legged monster knew nothing at all about the Altar Master.
The mysterious one-way soul connection should be related to the evil energy they carried, which had been removed by Gregory Ryan’s pestle, so Owen Bertram had no way to study it.
