Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming - Chapter 2444
Chapter 2444: Chapter 845: Hunting the Venerable
After obtaining the prepayment benefits, Tai Geng Divine Venerable and Ye Qingxuan returned to their own cave dwellings.
According to Changchun Venerable’s plan, they would have to wait a while before setting off.
After Zhou Chun properly arranged the private collection of books from Changchun Venerable and pondered for a long time, he ultimately decided not to inform his close ones about the plan to hunt the Venerable.
It wasn’t that he feared these close ones would leak information, but rather he didn’t want them to worry about him.
He planned to have his incarnation inform these close ones of the situation only after setting off himself.
After making this decision, Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something and immediately asked the [Purifying Heavenly Vessel] artifact spirit within him: “Traceless Daoist, do you know about the Venerable?”
Originally, he didn’t hold high hopes, just trying, but unexpectedly, Traceless’s response surprised him.
“The Venerable? In Traceless’s memory, there is indeed information about a Supreme Celestial Sovereign descending to this realm; I just don’t know if this person is the Venerable you are referring to!”
Upon hearing this response, Zhou Chun’s face lit up with joy and he immediately said, “With so few descending beings, it’s likely him. Traceless Daoist, quickly tell me the information about this Supreme Celestial Sovereign!”
Upon hearing this, the artifact spirit Traceless responded again: “The Supreme Celestial Sovereign was a powerful being descending from the Ancient Times, reportedly succeeded in Refining the Void in the Upper Realm but came to this realm for some reason, supposedly searching for some treasure!”
“During the Ancient Times, this Supreme Celestial Sovereign and another descending Nihility Refining Phase being had a conflict, and it seems both were severely injured, forcing them to return to the Upper Realm!”
Zhou Chun was listening intently, but upon hearing this, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped: “Wait, you said the Supreme Celestial Sovereign returned to the Upper Realm? Are you sure?”
“This information came from the Nine Elements Master, so it should be true!”
The artifact spirit Traceless replied somewhat uncertainly.
It’s just an artifact spirit, with no ability to verify the authenticity of information; all it knows comes from various previous masters.
Zhou Chun also understood this, so he didn’t inquire further about the truth of the information but instead fell into deep thought about what the artifact spirit said.
Honestly, Zhou Chun wasn’t initially convinced by Changchun Venerable’s speculations, assuming it was the other party’s means to achieve Ascension.
However, if the information from the [Purifying Heavenly Vessel] artifact spirit is accurate, then the true identity of this “Venerable” is indeed questionable!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chun, after some hesitation, decided to have his incarnation immediately go to Changchun Valley to inform Changchun Venerable of the news he had just learned.
“May I ask, Taoist Friend Zhou, where did this information come from?”
In Changchun Valley, upon learning the intelligence about the “Supreme Celestial Sovereign” from Zhou Chun’s incarnation, Changchun Venerable’s expression also changed slightly and he inquired about the source.
Zhou Chun had considered this and immediately had his incarnation reply: “To be honest, Senior Changchun, I was lucky enough to obtain a damaged Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure some years ago, but its artifact spirit had lost too much spirituality and slept until I successfully achieved Divine Transformation to awaken it.”
“Because this Spirit Treasure is also an ancient item, the artifact spirit knows much about ancient times, so I asked it about the Venerable hoping for some answers, unexpectedly gaining this information!”
Listening to this reply, Changchun Venerable’s eyes immediately focused with deep meaning, looking at him and saying: “Taoist Friend Zhou is indeed fortunate; usually artifact spirits that know such ancient secrets belong to extraordinary items from ancient times!”
He then nodded and said: “I understand; if what Taoist Friend Zhou said is true, then my previous speculation has more factual support and we don’t have to worry about the Venerable using Nihility Refining Phase methods!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun’s incarnation respectfully replied: “Senior Changchun, as long as you understand, I’ll take my leave now to not disturb you.”
Then he politely bid farewell and left.
Thus, five years passed, and the demon army expedition to the Demon Element Realm finally completed the mission entirely, destroying all the Giant God Clan’s settlements, eliminating the majority of their clan members!
This was basically enough.
In the future, as long as the Demon Suppression Legion continued the sweep of the Giant Stone Highlands from the Demon Element Realm, it could prevent the Giant God Clan from rising again.
After completing the mission, the demon army also directly chose to return in triumph.
Not long afterward, Zhou Chun saw the returning Silver Dragon Monarch, Deer Monarch, and Zhou Zhiying on Kunwu Peak.
“Thank you all for your hard work these years; now, rest well at home so you won’t need to go to the frontline!”
In the cave dwelling, after listening to his pet and disciple narrate the dangerous encounters during the demon-suppression process, Zhou Chun warmly consoled them.
Then he bestowed several spiritual treasures he received from Tai Geng Divine Venerable to his pet and disciples.
After the tidal wave of nature’s spiritual energy descended, the abundant spiritual energy also fostered many rare spiritual objects, and the Zhou Family had discovered and collected several items capable of refining spiritual treasures over the years.
Zhou Chun himself currently lacked ability or time for refining, so he exchanged these spiritual objects with Tai Geng Divine Venerable for some spiritual treasures from his inventory.
Anyway, for Tai Geng Divine Venerable, these spiritual treasures were not of much use; he refined them merely to hone his artifact refinement skill.
