Chapter 2119: Valley of Falling Clouds

God Monarchs.

They were existences who stood at the very peak of the Nine Skies and the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Every single one of them wielded transcendental powers such that even the Firmament would bow to their wills, making them beings that none dared oppose.

And the young man whom they had met earlier actually carried the bloodline of such powerful experts? What the heck was going on?

“Is there a mistake somewhere?” the middle-aged lady asked with a meek voice. “Based on what I know, His Majesty Demon Monarch Qiankun doesn’t have any offspring or successors…”

There were only nine God Monarchs in the world, so those who possessed the bloodline of a God Monarch would have to be a direct descendant of the nine of them. However, the God Monarch of the Sky of Drifting Specters was the Qiankun Demon Monarch. It was a known fact in the Firmament that he was single and did not have any offspring, so how could a person who possessed his bloodline suddenly appear out of nowhere?

“There are ten God Monarchs in the Nine Skies. Just because the young man appeared in the Sky of Drifting Specters doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s the offspring of God Monarch Qiankun,” Qi Ling-er replied with a quivering voice. “Based on the information I received, back when he was killing Streak of Gray, he used a powerful sword art. Using the words of the informant, ‘the conceptualization of the sword art was more profound than anything I have seen before’…”

The middle-aged lady widened her eyes. “Young Mistress, do you mean to say that there’s a good chance that he’s someone from the Sky of Heavenly Sword? The descendant of the retired Sword God of the Sword Hut?”

“I have no way of knowing that for sure. I dare not speak carelessly about the affairs of the God Monarchs…” Qi Ling-er shook her head before taking in a deep breath to calm herself. Then, she said, “Make sure not to speak of this matter to anyone else.”

“I understand.” The middle-aged lady quickly nodded in response.

Even if Qi Ling-er had not said such a thing, she also would not dare speak lightly about the personal affairs concerning a God Monarch.

“Pass down my order. We’ll be increasing his share of the profit to 9:1. If he asks for something, no matter what it is, make sure to fulfill his requests by hook or by crook. Also, regarding the Mayang Beast Blood, have it sent over to him as quickly as possible!” Qi Ling-er swiftly passed down a series of instructions.

Given that she was dealing with the offspring of a God Monarch, it was very clear what she had to do.

Even if the young man was not from the main lineage, as someone who possessed the bloodline of a God Monarch, he was bound to reach great heights in the future. Furthermore, how could someone like that possibly not have any experts protecting him by his side?

Only those who were tired of living would dare provoke him!

“I’ll have it done right now!” The middle-aged lady quickly left the room.

Qi Ling-er looked at the three illusory figures kneeling before the young man for a moment longer with a complex look in her eyes before leaving the room as well.

“She even left a Soul Imprint on it…”

After returning to Twilight City, Zhang Xuan took out the Divine Card while walking out of the building and scanned it carefully with his Eye of Insight.

The Soul Imprint was left very discreetly, but there was no way it could have slipped past his detection.

Zhang Xuan channeled a surge of Heaven’s Path zhenqi into the Divine Card and destroyed the Soul Imprint.

Walking down the streets, he stretched his back lazily as his pale face swiftly regained a reddened glow. At the same time, he pondered, “I should be able to raise my soul cultivation once I receive the Mayang Beast Blood, so I should think of ways to cultivate my physical body now.”

Having acquired sufficient God Essence Pills, he was confident that he would be able to raise his cultivation swiftly. However, before raising his zhenqi cultivation, he would have to train his physical body and raise his soul cultivation too.

“The best way to temper my body is using the blood of divine beasts!”

There was a common consensus among cultivators that it was difficult to train one’s physical body. If he just absorbed spiritual energy to refine his body, it would take him ages before he would be able to achieve a breakthrough.

However, if he could acquire the blood of divine beasts, the process could he hastened significantly.

Such a method made use of the power of the divine beast’s bloodline. The more powerful the bloodline was, the more pronounced the effects would be.

And the most powerful divine beast in the Firmament was indubitably the Pureblooded Dragons!

The problem was that it was already difficult enough for him to procure the blood of a Mayang Beast, an ordinary Celestial God realm divine beast, let alone the blood of a Pureblooded Dragon.

“Forget it! I should first head over to the Divine Beast Market to take a look!”

There were markets selling divine beasts in the Firmament as well, but beasts that were sold there were extremely weak and had yet to transmogrify, such as the rabbits that he had failed to hunt time and time again at the Grand Spirit Mountain.

As for the powerful divine beasts who were able to transmogrify, there was no way anyone would dare sell them in an open market. If someone laid even a finger on one of them, the rest of their pack would immediately rush forward to exact vengeance!

The Divine Beast Market was located not too far away from his current location. Riding on his steed, it took him just an hour to arrive at his destination.

Located at the edge of the city where the price of land was lower, the Divine Beast Market spanned over a huge plot of land.

Of the divine beasts on sale, most of them were captured by hunters to be sold. However, there were also some that came over voluntarily to be sold as well.

The spiritual energy beyond the walls of established cities had already reached a dire level. If a divine beast wanted to grow stronger, it would have to find a way to enter a city… and becoming the tamed beast of a human was the most direct way to do so.

In the Firmament, there was no occupation called beast tamer. As long as a cultivator was willing to provide an opportunity to cultivate, there were many divine beasts that would leap at the opportunity.

Zhang Xuan swiftly found the manager of the place and asked, “May I know if you have any divine beasts here who possess the Dragon Bloodline?”

“Dragon Bloodline? Dear guest, you must be joking!”

The manager was shocked by how audacious Zhang Xuan’s words were.

Zhang Xuan shook his head and replied, “I’m not. I’m being serious.”

Seeing that the young man really knew nothing at all, the manager explained with a hushed voice, “Those who are in the business of trading divine beasts would know that the Dragon Tribe is the royalty of the eastern Sky of Cloud Dragon. Any beasts who are found to possess the Dragon Bloodline must be sent over right away. Anyone who dares to sell a descendant of the Dragon Tribe will be executed without exception!”

“The royalty of the Sky of Cloud Dragon?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

This was the first he had head of such a thing. Most of what he knew about the Firmament came from Mo Yuan’s explanation and Streak of Gray’s books.

If the Sky of Cloud Dragon passed down such an order, it was indeed unlikely for anyone to challenge its authority.

Could it be that… the God Monarch of the Sky of Cloud Dragon is a Pureblooded Dragon? Zhang Xuan thought.

He had long heard about the tremendous prowess of the Dragon Tribe even while he was still on the Master Teacher Continent. However, to date, he had not met a real Pureblooded Dragon, so he was unable to gauge how powerful they were.

Considering the name of the Sky of Cloud Dragon, as well as the fact that members of the Dragon Tribe were considered their royalty, it did seem likely for the God Monarch to be a real Pureblooded Dragon.

Knowing that the manager would be reluctant to talk about experts of that caliber so lightly for fear of his safety,

Zhang Xuan decided to get straight to the matter at hand. “I need some divine beast blood to temper my physical body. Do you have anything appropriate?”

Since it was impossible to procure beasts possessing the Dragon Bloodline, he could only compromise and go for something else. As long as he could raise his physical body to the level of a high-tier God, he would be able to raise his cultivation swiftly.

The last time he cultivated, he realized that the ‘Camaraderie of Brothers’ he had comprehended was enough for him to cultivate up to high-tier God realm.

The Greenbeast Ancient Grass and Mayang Beast Blood would be able to get his soul cultivation up to high-tier God realm, and he already had sufficient God Essence Pills on hand to raise his zhenqi cultivation up to that level.

So, as long as he could acquire what he needed to temper his physical body, he would be able to raise his cultivation all the way to high-tier God realm in one shot.

“Temper your physical body?”

The manager thought deeply for a moment before shaking his head.

“I’m afraid that we don’t have anything that fits your criteria. However, I heard that there’s a high-tier God realm Phosphor Armored Beast in the Valley of Fallen Clouds. It’s known for its powerful defense and physical body. Even a Celestial God of our city lord’s caliber would have trouble breaking through its defense! Its bloodline should be exceptionally effective in tempering one’s physical body. We have tried to capture and tame it on multiple occasions, but nothing worked. So, we had no choice but to drop the idea in the end. If you really need something to temper your physical body, perhaps you could give it a try.”

“Phosphor Armored Beast?”

“That’s right. However, that fellow isn’t easy to find, and it’s particularly vicious as well. Over the years, those who tried to tame it ended up getting devoured by it,” the manager said.

“Where is the Valley of Falling Clouds?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“It’s directly north of here. If you ride on an aerial divine beast, it’ll only take you roughly six hours,” the manager said with a chuckle. “You don’t have an aerial divine beast yet, right? Why don’t you buy one from me here? I have quite a few good ones in stock.”

“Is that so? I want a fast one then,” Zhang Xuan said.

The Firmament was even larger than the Azure and the Master Teacher Continent, so it would be much more convenient if he could travel on an aerial divine beast.

Soon, the transaction was completed.

Zhang Xuan spent roughly twenty Divine Coins to buy a low-tier God realm aerial divine beast.

Watching Zhang Xuan leave, the lips of the manager curled into a cold sneer as he scoffed, “Yet another fool! Does he think that the Phosphor Armored Beast can be captured that easily? If that’s the case, the City Lord Manor would have long made a move! There’s no way they would have left such a treasure lying around for so long!”

After saying his piece, the manager turned to the apprentice beside him and said, “Did you see that? That’s how you manage to get sales! You need to fulfill the demands of your customers while making use of the opportunity to promote your products. Make sure to take note of this while you are dealing with customers!”

Seated on the back of the divine beast, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and cultivated.

He consumed a few more God Essence Pills to reinforce his cultivation further, and in the process of doing so, he realized that if he forced a breakthrough to middle-tier God, he would really risk placing a huge burden on his body. Thus, he could only stop his cultivation with a helpless sigh.

The Firmament was vastly different from what he had imagined.

Somehow, the gods did not appear to be as happy as he thought they would be. Instead, it felt like people were much happier and content on the Master Teacher Continent.

After leaving the city, the spiritual energy in the air immediately became incredibly thin. At the same time, the wind currents in the sky grew tumultuous.

Fortunately, the divine beast was not flying at too high an altitude, and Zhang Xuan was no longer as weak as he had been. So, the strong wind currents did not pose much of a problem to them.

Four hours later, a massive valley appeared before their eyes. The setting sun fell at the very center of the valley, dyeing the two cliffs of the valley a brilliant shade of scarlet.

The aerial divine beast descended right in front of the valley. Zhang Xuan instructed it to find a place to rest in the vicinity before heading into the valley.

Based on what he had heard from the manager previously, the Phosphor Armored Beast should be somewhere in there. As long as he could find it and procure some blood from it, he would be able to immediately raise his cultivation to greater heights.

The valley was much larger than it looked outside.

Zhang Xuan walked for two hours straight, to the point that the sun had set, but he was still unable to find anything. Disappointed, he was just about to return to Twilight City when he saw a faint flame in front of him. It appeared to be a bonfire.

Zhang Xuan frowned. Could it be that there’s someone else looking for the Phosphor Armored Beast here?

This valley was remote, sparse in spiritual energy, and did not have any valuable medicinal herbs or anything. It was likely that the person who had started the bonfire had gone there with the same motive as him.

After all, even the manager of the Divine Beast Market was aware of the existence of the Phosphor Armored Beast, and it did not seem like he had any qualms telling others about the matter. It stood to reason that there should be quite a few people in Twilight City who knew about this matter.

Similar to how it was on the Master Teacher Continent, whenever a powerful beast appeared, plenty of people would gather around to try their luck. If they could somehow tame the beast, their fighting prowess would rise by leaps and bounds.

Even though the beast tamer occupation did not mean anything here anymore, taming high-tier divine beasts was likely to be no easy feat.

I should head over to take a look.
