154: Purple Spirit Horse

Just the Epic-level evolution path for Night was enough to completely drain Lin Shu's current financial resources.

It was truly unaffordable.

Fortunately, for now, he was only satisfying his curiosity and checking the requirements for evolution.

After his astonishment, he began to examine the details revealed.

To evolve into a Dark Abyss Walker, a total of three conditions needed to be met.

First, he needed to comprehend the Darkness Mysteries and the Space Mysteries.

And the mastery level needed to be greater than 1%.

Second was the level requirement; the minimum level needed to be Eighth Rank.

Third was skill mastery.

A total of four skills needed to reach the "subtle" level, with two Dark-type and two Space-type.

And they could not be lower than intermediate skills.

Among these three conditions, only the second one was relatively simple.

The other two conditions were too stringent.

The improvement of Profound Truths and skills required steady, gradual progress, with almost no way to achieve it overnight.

Of course, these were minor issues for Lin Shu.

As long as he had enough proficiency, he could accomplish them.

Because of these strict evolution conditions, most Beastmasters were unable to complete Epic-level evolution even when their beasts broke through level 100, as their accumulation was too little to meet the requirements.

Moreover, the requirements varied, and it was clear that Night's evolution method was among the most difficult.

Even his mentor had once mentioned this; even Dao Yao only evolved shortly after breaking through level 100, which proved how difficult it was to raise a beast's quality to Epic before level 100.

But Lin Shu was confident that he could achieve this goal at Eighth Rank if he wanted to.

After reviewing Night's evolution method, the next was Ziyu.

Repeating the previous operation.

Ziyu' Epic-level evolution name also appeared before his eyes—Purple Radiance Spirit Steed.

The required proficiency was no less than Night's.

It required 7950 points.

Likewise, the cost was astonishing.

As before, he checked Ziyu' evolution requirements.

The requirements were broadly similar to Night's.

Only the choice of skills and Profound Truths differed.

This was also due to the different attributes of each beast.

Unfortunately, he couldn't view the materials required for evolution.

Otherwise, he could start preparing now.

He wouldn't have to painstakingly search for them later.

He could pay more attention to high-level materials that matched Night's and Ziyu' attributes.

Epic-level evolution would at least require Ninth Rank spiritual objects and materials.

Even more exaggerated ones might require Spirit Origin Level materials.

The only thing that could hinder Lin Shu's evolution was these evolution materials.

After fully understanding all the content, he closed the panel.

Lin Shu's mind was filled with vivid images of Night and Ziyu' mysterious forms after evolution.

And what new Talents they would gain after reaching Epic quality.

However, these thoughts quickly ceased, and he quietly awaited good news from his mentor... and he didn't have to wait long.

Just over an hour later, Gu Li and Dao Yao appeared before the three.

They had smiles on their faces, clearly indicating they had found their target.

Including the morning's search, it had only taken about five hours, which wasn't too long.

Luck was still on their side.

Gu Li smiled and said to them.

"Good luck."

"That small space is at the foot of that mountain in the distance."

"Let's go, together."

He then pointed towards the southwest.

Hearing this, the three quickly stood up from the ground.

Calling their beasts, they followed Gu Li's direction.

Everyone moved quickly, arriving at their destination in just twenty minutes.

What lay before them was more of a small hill than a mountain.

It was only a few tens of meters high.

To the left was a winding stream.

There was nothing particularly special about it; he wondered why the Otherworldly race chose to open a small world here.

Night, however, seemed to sense something, looking up into the sky, at something unknown.

Lin Shu pondered this; Night's spatial sensitivity had greatly increased again after comprehending the Space Mysteries.

Gu Li took out the spirit void jade.

Immediately, a reaction occurred.

The originally vibrant green color intensified, radiating white light from within.

Then, an invisible force pulled it into mid-air, where it slowly rotated.

There was no sign of stopping.

A moment later, the previously calm air suddenly changed.

Water-like ripples spread out.

The range was not too large, covering an area with a five-meter radius.

The spirit void jade moved forward again, pressing tightly against the very center of the ripples.

After a simple touch, the original spot instantly became pitch black.

It was as if a piece had been removed from it.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone already understood that this was the portal to the small space, and it was now open.

However, no one acted rashly.

Instead, they waited for Gu Li to speak.

The strongest naturally had the right to make decisions and offer suggestions.

Lin Shu also gazed at the black curtain-like area.

He wondered what was inside?

Would there be danger? But with his mentor here, there was no need to worry too much.

Gu Li first rode Dao Yao to the edge of the black curtain, sensing the aura inside.

Although for him, such a place would certainly pose no danger.

But there were still three others below, and his precious student was among them, which made him have to be extra careful and cautious.

After a moment, he made a decision and returned directly to the ground.

Gu Li looked relaxed as he faced the three:

"The thickness of this space means there won't be any danger,"

"Most likely, it's just a storage space for the Otherworldy race."

As a Spirit Origin-level Beastmaster, his spatial sensitivity was quite good, which allowed him to make these judgments.

"In that case, that's a bit of a shame..."

At these words, Li Wen and Chu Yu both felt a little regretful.

They had thought they hit the jackpot and found some resource vault.

Lin Shu, however, didn't think that much; he just intended to go in and take a look, for resources or secret techniques or whatever.

It would be best if there were any, but it didn't matter if there weren't.

As long as there were no expectations, there would be no disappointment.

Gu Li seemed to think of something and added:

"But you never know."

"We'll find out once we go in."

"Let's go!"

He hadn't even finished speaking when he already appeared in mid-air.

Lin Shu and the others quickly followed.

The four of them entered the black curtain together.

Unlike entering the Otherworld, there was no sense of stagnation when entering the small space.

There was only smoothness.

Upon entering, the immediate sight was a pitch-black mass.

Then, a faint fragrance wafted over.

Although the scent wasn't too strong, it lingered for a long time.

Gu Li observed his surroundings, finding no abnormalities, and the scent also seemed harmless.

The space here wasn't too large, only a few meters wide.

Li Wen quickly pulled out a luminous stone from his pocket.

Immediately, clear and bright light shone forth.

Allowing everyone to see the path ahead.

They seemed to be in a tunnel; ahead was a straight path, leading to an unknown destination.

"Let's go forward first."

"And see what the situation is."

Gu Li took the lead, rushing to the very front.

Li Wen brought up the rear, with Chu Yu and Lin Shu in front, steadily moving towards the center.

Although they believed there was no danger inside, everyone remained cautious and vigilant.

After all, it was a place of the Otherworldy race, so they couldn't truly relax.

Three minutes later, the path widened.

A black stone door appeared on the left.

Due to the passage of time, it was covered in dust and dense cobwebs.

Faint red patterns extended downwards from it.

Li Wen found Otherworldy script on a stone wall.

It contained three syllables.

Everyone had happened to learn the Otherworldy script and could pronounce the name...
