158: ancestral land
They were already Ferocious Beasts favored by the heavens, yet their breakthrough speed was still caught up to.
While some of it was due to the Ferocious Beasts' own talent, the influence of Lu Yu must also not be overlooked.
After all, Lu Yu's breakthrough speed was too fast; if there weren't some tricks and secrets involved, they would absolutely not believe it.
And with a powerful being who surpassed two major realms as a guiding teacher, it would be impossible not to break through quickly.
Moreover, the more they learned about Lu Yu, the more mysterious they found him to be.
After all, his bloodline was truly just that of a Golden Eagle, yet he could lead them by so much; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the heavens' favored son.
However, they discussed this for a long time, making various bold conjectures and hypotheses, yet still couldn't confirm the true source of his rapid breakthroughs.
“Counting the three Ferocious Beasts from Tianyu Sect, the number of those who have broken through to Tier B Ferocious Beasts is already approaching forty.
The third Spiritual Qi Revival is coming.”
“If, with our current bloodline and strength, we cannot catch up to Lu Yu, then if we take another step forward and become True Blood beings, how will Lu Yu cope?”
These Tier B Ferocious Beasts discussed among themselves.
Under the advocacy of the Dragon King and other Ferocious Beasts, they had established a group specifically for Lu Yu.
On normal days, they would joke around in it, but at crucial and important moments, they would post messages and discuss matters there.
“Lu Yu can be our enemy now because he can break through first.
Once our realms catch up, what will he use to fight us?”
Many Ferocious Beasts were outwardly respectful but inwardly unconvinced by Lu Yu, always looking for an opportunity to replace him.
Most other Ferocious Beasts were also like this, eagerly awaiting the third Spiritual Qi Revival to soar to great heights.
...
Inside Tianyu Sect.
An hour later, whether it was the Firebird, who broke through first, or the Golden Ape, who advanced last, they finally stabilized their Tier B breakthrough aura.
And after stabilizing their realms, they found that Lu Yu was using telepathy to summon them.
They were somewhat puzzled, not understanding what he meant, but they still entered the main hall at the fastest speed.
The improvement in their strength brought about significant changes in their spirit, energy, and vitality; their eyes became more resolute, and their aura more stable.
It was as if even the collapse of heaven and earth could not alter their expressions.
“First, congratulations to you all for entering the ranks of Tier B Ferocious Beasts.
Your future is promising!”
Scanning them, Lu Yu nodded with great satisfaction; they all lived up to expectations and successfully broke through.
With three Tier B Ferocious Beasts guarding Tianyu Sect, coupled with the enhanced Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array, it would be extremely difficult for him to force his way in.
In this era, it was enough to be called impregnable!
“If it weren't for the enlightenment potion bestowed by the Venerable Lord, we would not have broken through so quickly.
It is all thanks to the Venerable Lord’s help, and we will never disappoint the Venerable Lord from now on.”
Little White Fox and the others spoke very humbly.
Their admiration for Lu Yu was deeply ingrained in their bones.
They were not flattering him but stating a fact.
Lu Yu also trusted them greatly, and summoning them at this time was to ask a crucial question.
“After you broke through to Tier B, did you feel anything unusual?”
Hearing Lu Yu's words, they first froze, not understanding what the Venerable Lord meant.
But seeing the seriousness between his brows, they knew this matter was extraordinary, so Little White Fox tentatively said:
“If you ask about anything unusual, there is indeed something.
I faintly feel like there’s a place guiding me, and the message from my bloodline inheritance is very vague.
I only know it’s the ancestral land, where all my Nine-tailed Fox ancestors are buried after their deaths.”
Lu Yu's heart stirred with joy, and he became interested.
The Nine-tailed Fox was one of the ancient divine beasts; rumors said that after cultivating to nine tails, she could overturn all beings and reverse life and death, an existence that many beings feared and dreaded.
Looking at so many divine beasts on Blue Star, she was terrifying and difficult to deal with enough.
The ancestral land she spoke of likely contained not only the secrets of the Nine-tailed Fox but also the mysteries of the Spiritual Qi Revival and so on.
However, even the Nine-tailed Fox didn't know much about the ancestral land, so his current urgency could only be a fruitless one.
The Golden Ape and Firebird exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, for they too had felt the call of their respective ancestral lands.
Just as they were about to speak, they saw Lu Yu look at them, asking the same question:
“Have you felt your ancestral land calling you?”
The Golden Ape and Firebird nodded in unison.
When they broke through to Tier B, they not only felt the call of their ancestral lands but also learned their names.
Seeing how much the Venerable Lord valued this, they each added a sentence.
“My ancestral land seems to be called Flower Fruit Mountain.
There are many powerful monkeys in that place, and there isn't more detailed information for now, but one thing is certain: entering the ancestral land will bring me many benefits.”
The Golden Ape scratched the back of his head and said.
The Firebird also recalled carefully for a moment, her eyes like fire as she said: “My ancestral land seems to be called Vermilion Bird Nest.
Currently, I can only vaguely sense that it has not yet appeared in the world.”
“So it is indeed…” Lu Yu murmured to himself; his previous life's prediction was correct, the myths were about to partially manifest!
Lu Yu felt a sense of urgency.
The current situation on Blue Star was completely under his control.
However, once those ancient myths began to descend, the situation would only spiral more and more out of control.
“Mr. Lu, there’s a new abnormal situation!”
As Lu Yu's heart grew more uneasy, he suddenly noticed Li Changan rushing out of the main hall, speaking with considerable anxiety.
“What happened?”
Lu Yu's mind stirred, and he drew Li Changan into the main hall, looking down at him.
Little White Fox and the others also looked at him, feeling somewhat puzzled.
They had dealt with Li Changan many times.
Li Changan was a relatively steady person; if something made him show it so openly, it was probably not a small matter.
Li Changan only felt his body sway before he appeared in the main hall.
Looking at Lu Yu's hundred-meter-tall body, his heart finally settled down a lot.
“Mr. Lu, just now, through satellite detection and reports from soldiers near the Qiushui Mountain Range, the land there is rapidly expanding, and faint, illusory bull-headed peaks are appearing, as if… as if they are gradually emerging from the void.”
As he spoke, Li Changan quickly handed the tablet in his hand to Lu Yu.
Ever since the Hanhai Art was verified multiple times to be greatly beneficial to humanity, Li Changan's attitude towards Lu Yu had become much more respectful, imperceptibly.
He was even more dedicated to gathering intelligence, as this was the only thing he could do for Lu Yu.
