Chapter 1232: Choice
A group of ancient Evil Spirit Race members were now relying on the blood of the Divine Spirit Race to extend their lives, causing the Divine Spirit Race to grind their teeth in anger. No wonder they captured so many Divine Spirit Race membersâto sustain these ancient ones, they had no choice.
Originally, these ancient ones were at the God Monarch level, but due to aging, they had all fallen to the Heaven Monarch level. Thus, unless necessary, they didnât move at all, as any movement could mean death.
Most cultivators used similar methods: sealing themselves or using methods to extend their lives. Their approaches varied slightly, but the result was the sameâdeath unless their cultivation broke through.
Due to their nearing lifespans, they showed no interest in anything unless the Evil Spirit Race was on the brink of extinction. Even when Yi Tianyun greeted them earlier, they ignored him, and they would do the same even if Elder Taishuo greeted them.
They were like puppets, soaking in the blood pool without moving, occasionally stirring slightly to absorb the blood.
Yi Tianyunâs eyes were filled with killing intent. These seemingly weak individuals were actually brutal, with their hands stained with innocent blood. Now, losing their combat power, they extended their lives here.
The Evil Spirit Race wouldnât give them such treatment without their past achievements.
Following Elder Taishuo, Elder Taishuo explained, âAs long as you create enough great deeds, you can live like these pioneering elders, extending your life! Of course, youâre still young and have plenty of time to make achievements.â
After passing through the passage, they saw sturdy cages, each containing a member of the Divine Spirit Race. Looking around, dozens of Divine Spirit Race members, including their elders, were imprisoned.
Yi Tianyun immediately recognized the elder, who sat calmly with a peaceful expression. When they entered, the elder slowly opened his eyes, revealing a wise look.
Unlike the other Divine Spirit Race members, who glared at them angrily, the elder remained calm. The others wanted to curse but seemed to be holding back, likely having been advised by the elder.
âItâs Elder Ji Yue! Theyâre all safe, thank goodnessâŠâ Ji Shuilian collapsed to the ground, relieved to see them unharmed.
A quick glance showed that most of their people were still here, not transferred elsewhere, easing their worry.
Elder Ji Yueâs calmness indicated he knew they couldnât be freed easily. The cages were made of special dark stones, and their powers were sealed, making escape impossible.
âOh, youâre quite arrogant after being imprisoned for so long?â Elder Taishuo chuckled. But itâs good. Some spirit keeps things fresh.â
He then turned to Yi Tianyun, âPick one, except for this elder. The others can be freely chosen. While the Holy Maidenâs blood canât be taken lightly, these can be used at will. Itâs better than any elixir for us.â
He smacked his lips as if savoring a delicacy, âThese are quite the tonic. I see your potential, so Iâm rewarding you with one. Do well, and youâll get more. These Divine Spirit Race members were hard to capture, hiding well over the years.â
âHowever, Iâve still caught quite a few. Otherwise, we couldnât meet our tributes.â
Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes, hearing the word âtributeâ again.
âElder Taishuo, who are these Divine Spirit Race members being offered to?â Yi Tianyun asked.
âTo our Domain Lord, of course. The Domain Lord specifically ordered us to capture Divine Spirit Race members. The other races have long been overused; the Divine Spirit Race is rarer and harder to capture,â Elder Taishuo explained without suspicion.
âTribute to the Domain LordâŠâ
Yi Tianyun realized the truth. These precious resources were for the Domain Lord, not the common Evil Spirit Race members. They were like rare elixirs, reserved for high-ranking individuals.
âElder Taishuo, Iâll choose her,â Yi Tianyun pointed casually at a Divine Spirit Race member, selecting the closest one without much consideration. After all, he wasnât an Evil Spirit Race member and wouldnât consume them.
âChoose me! Choose me!â A nearby young man stood up, shouting, âHave the guts to choose me, you beast!â
âQuiet!â Elder Taishuo waved his hand, sending an invisible force that knocked the young man against the sturdy cage, rendering him unconscious.
The other Divine Spirit Race members looked grim, knowing they couldnât control their fate and could only endure their plight.
âChoosing a female Divine Spirit Race member, not badâŠâ Elder Taishuo gave Yi Tianyun a meaningful look.
Yi Tianyun felt helpless; he had chosen randomly and didnât care about the gender, but he didnât bother explaining.
Elder Taishuo then opened the cage, and the selected Divine Spirit Race member floated over, restrained and unable to resist, similar to Ji Shuilianâs initial state.
âThis is your reward. Perform well, and youâll get more,â Elder Taishuo said, handing over the Divine Spirit Race member as if delivering cargo.
To them, these individuals were mere commodities, treasures to be rewarded.
