Ashen summoned his spirit again, letting it devour the 5-star spirits.
Even though the 5-star spirits were massive in size, Ashen's spirit had no problem devouring them like air.
As it devoured its 40th spirit, it began to glow again.
With the glow, it turned ethereal as it grew in size, however, this ti astonishing even Ashen with its growth.
When it reached the height of 35m, even Ashen wasn't able to maintain his composure as he murmured with wide eyes: "Just how much will it grow?"
It was to be kept in mind that even a blue whale from his previous life was only 30m in length.
However, this wasn't the end to its growth as it kept on increasing its height.
45m...
50m..
55m...
...
It was only after achieving a whopping 75m in height that its growth stopped.
Right now, Ashen was like a speck of dust compared to the humongous dragon that stood before him.
Just the sight of him was enough to strike fear into the hearts of people.
However, what astonished Ashen the most wasn't its height but the new wings that had materialized out of thin air.
These wings were massive, providing his spirit with a wingspan of 187.1 ters.
Another thing to notice was the new purple head that had grown alongside the five previous ones.
This one had curved draconic horns grown at its head.
The scales on its body also changed color to shiny golden which almost made it look mystical.
Since the spirit had finally beco 6th star, his work here was done.
He called back his spirit before going back into the cave.
Ji Jun was already waiting for his next order: "Master, What should I do for you next?" He asked with a respectful bow.
"My work here is done and I'll be taking my leave. You are to get rid of everyone here and return to the training facility."
Though Ji Jun understood Ashen's order, however, just to confirm he asked: "Master, you an to kill them?"
Ashen answered instantly: "Of course, what other aning could it have?"
Saying that he left, leaving Ji Jun to take care of the rest.
The reason Ji Jun asked that was because Ashen was of righteous path and he didn't expect that he had bought these slaves just to kill them.
He thought Ashen wanted him to release them, however, he was mistaken.
He sighed before giving the slaves a painless death and returning to the training facility.
Ashen had given his order after thinking this out. He didn't enjoy mindless killing, however, if it was necessary, then he wouldn't hesitate.
Leaving the slaves alive could leave clues that could lead to problems or even his own death.
He couldn't afford to be careless when there was World's Will acting against him.
Moreover, these slaves had a pitiful life, and giving them a painless death could even be considered rciful when compared to the atrocities the other slaves has to go through.
In the empire, the slaves weren't born but made.
So were turned slaves as a punishnt for so cri, so couldn't repay their loan and were sold as slaves, so had to feed their families thus they sold themselves to slave rchants, so were betrayed and sold by their loved ones for money.
Most slave contracts ntioned how they ended up as slaves.
The slave trade was mostly prominent in the Eastern region of the empire which was under the alliance of Fourth and Seventh Princes.
Their maternal clans were the prominent clans of the Eastern region that controlled the East.
They couldn't compare to the Sacred clans like the Shang Clan, but they had a solid influence on the empire.
All in all, leaving them alive had more consequences than benefits.
Ashen returned to the Shang Clan before using the teleportation formation to teleport to the northern prefecture of the Tian Jian tribe.
His destination right now was the Zhuji Tribe which shared borders with the Tian Jian Tribe.
Upon reaching the Tian Jian Tribe's northern Prefecture, Ashen used sightstep to cover the remaining distance.
After traveling for almost an hour, Ashen found himself floating above a forest inside the central prefecture of the Zhuji tribe.
He should be here...
Ashen glanced at the forest before spotting a cultivator roaming in the forest with two beasts accompanying him.
Ashen instantly descended into the forest, hiding his presence while keeping an eye on the cultivator.
"There he is," Ashen murmured before taking out an artifact from his space ring. "It's good that I asked Ji Jun to place a location talisman on his body."
This was another order that Ashen gave Ji Jun along with the acquisition of the slaves.
It was to find soone fitting a certain description in the Zhuji tribe and place a location talisman on him.
The artifact was pointing at the sa cultivator that Ashen had found, confirming the cultivator's identity.
"So he is Huan Tian... the cursed cultivator..." Ashen murmured, assessing the new figure that was in his sight.
Huan Tian was a tall man with a decent face and turquoise color eyes. His black long hair was tied neatly to fall behind him with a layer of frontal hair falling on his forehead to cover it like bangs.
The reason he was called the cursed cultivator was because of his spirit — The 6-star White Flying Tiger.
It wasn't that his spirit was weak or low level, but the problem was that it was a tiger.
Zhuji Tribe was one of the demonic tribes that cultivated enslavent path and the beast they would be able to enslave was decided by the type of spirit they would awaken.
For example, if soone awakened a snake spirit, then they would only be able to enslave snake-type beasts.
Enslavent Path needed your enslaved beasts to work together to fight instead of working separately.
Moreover, the beasts should listen to their master's orders to fight more efficiently.
All the beasts could do that once they were enslaved but not tiger-type beasts.
Tiger-type Beasts were known to work alone without moving in groups. Moreover, they were famous for their pride that won't let them be enslaved.
As fate would have it, Huan Tian was such a cultivator who had awakened a Tiger-type spirit.
