Chapter 249: Opportunity Gifted by the Beast King

“We’re just in it together, like grasshoppers on a boat. If you were gone and the entire mountain range were to be destroyed instantly, I wouldn’t be able to escape either. Now that the Heavenly Saint Taoist has fled, everything depends on you.”

Logan had fully recovered. Facing the Beast King, his response to his gratitude was a mere smile. It would be a good thing to execute the Heavenly Saint Taoist today, but since he escaped, Logan would not overly pursue it. He would simply let nature take its course.

After this, he, Shangguan Bo Wen, and the others would leave the mountain range. If the Heavenly Saint Taoist returned one day, it would be up to the Beast King to deal with him. The time for the alliance had come, it was time to part ways.

Having lived for so many years, the Beast King was well aware of Logan’s insinuations, so he swiftly agreed. Ten days later, his injuries would be fully healed, and the Heavenly Saint Taoist would certainly be unable to touch him. After all, a true Transcendent Tier Powerhouse was capable of crushing a soon-to-die Saint.

“I can assure you that given the chance, I will execute the Heavenly Saint Taoist, preventing him from seeking revenge on you. Moreover, should you come across any misfortune, I will expend all the strength of the mountain range to save you. I am deeply indebted to you for saving my life and promise to remember this favor for the rest of my life.”

“Thank you.” Logan replied calmly. The Beast King was a clever man and Logan did not regret saving him. With the Heavenly Saint Taoist nearing his end, in order to survive, he would either have to spend decades in cultivation to prolong his life or continue to vie for the Beast King’s supreme treasure. As for Logan, he was sure the Beast King would not intervene.

Unless the Beast King wished to die, pulling him down in his fall, Logan knew that the Heavenly Saint Taoist was a creature that greatly cherished his own life. As long as there was the slightest hope, he would find ways to survive. His revenge against Logan would have to be postponed, and Logan wasn’t worried about being hunted down.

The Beast King swung his big hand and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a human… a burly and domineering man. Then, a pill appeared in his hand, leaving Logan and the others astounded. This pill seemed to contain immense power. A mere glance at it could make them lose their souls.

Logan himself frowned because the power within the pill was tens of thousands of times greater than a Transcendent Tier Powerhouse. It’s hard to imagine who made this pill. Probably the moment it was created, a little bit of its power could destroy millions of miles.

Seeing this, a Half-Step Saint’s Seat Light Beast panicked, saying urgently: “Beast King, you can’t do this. This is the sacred treasure of the Demon Beast Clan. If you reveal it like this, what if it arouses the greed of others? Although the Heavenly Saint Taoist has fled, we can’t be sure there isn’t a traitor among these people.”

“Logan saved my life and even used one of the Law herbs. The preciousness of the law herbs can’t even be compared to all the rare and unique herbs in the mountain range. But we, the Demon Beast Clan, value gratitude as the most important virtue and pledged reciprocation for the debt we owe.”

The Beast King waved his hand, signaling the other not to say more: “This Elixir is the supreme treasure of the demon beast clan. It has been passed down for a million years with each beast king’s power condensed within it. It has created a small world within the Elixir itself, where time flows extremely slowly, and is therefore very suitable for cultivators to gain enlightenment and practice the Great Dao.”

“This…Elixir is for us?” Shangguan Bo Wen couldn’t believe it, his whole person filled with ecstasy. They had merely helped the Beast King a bit, and he had rewarded them with such a grand gift. Even the Heavenly Saint Taoist who wanted it couldn’t get it. It made him tremble and believe that he was dreaming.

The Beast King looked dumbfounded for a moment, while Logan gave Shangguan Bo Wen a blank look: “Why are you losing your mind now? Do you think the clan’s sacred treasure can be easily given away? They’re just showing it to us. That is already a rarity. Giving it to you… you must be living in a dream.”

“The Elixir has a time ratio of one hundred to one. You guys will be able to cultivate in the small world within the Elixir for a hundred days, while the outside world only passes by a day. You can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth at will. I hope this will aid your cultivation. Consider this my paltry token of gratitude.”

Righteously, the Beast King continued: “Of course, it’s nothing compared to the favors you’ve done for me. But I don’t have anything else of significant value that I can offer. The Elixir is of great importance and is the supreme treasure of the entire demon beast clan. Even though I’m the Beast King, I can’t just give it away, and once it’s taken out, it will certainly cause chaos in the world.”

“I can only allot one year for you guys to cultivate within it. Aside from that, you’re free to choose any spiritual grass or divine weapon in the mountain range that you fancy, no questions asked. Our demon beast clan has a respectable amount of heritage. When you guys finish your cultivation, you could head over to the Inner Treasury and take whatever you want.”

“We’re hardly deserving.” Logan, while feeling elated, portrayed a humble attitude. Regardless, he should be courteous, even though they were only going to cultivate for a year, it was something outsiders would not even dare dream of. In the entire Demon Beast Clan, besides the Beast King, no monster had the privilege to do so.

The Heavenly Saint Taoist had plotted for a hundred years, and even fought with the Beast King himself. This demonstrated the immense power of the Elixir. Perhaps, after cultivating for a year within it, Logan might be able to step into the throne from the Transcendent Tier. The fact that the Beast King was willing to offer this reward demonstrated his determination and courage.

If any of them harbored ill intentions, at the moment the Beast King presented the Elixir, there was a high chance the Elixir would have been snatched up by them. This was because the Beast King had just awakened, and it would take him at least ten days to recover from his injuries. Logan and the others were fully aware of this, yet the Beast King didn’t hold any suspicion towards them. It was clear that the Beast King was a real hero for being able to lead millions of Demon Beasts in the mountain range.

The Half-step Saint’s Seat Demon Beast was envious. Although he had cultivated for a thousand years, and his position in the mountain range was second only to the Beast King, he was not given the privilege to even see the Elixir, let alone use it for cultivation. Logan and the others’ great fortune could only be described as heavenly.

The Beast King gave an indifferent smile and then looked at the Half-step Saint’s Seat Demon Beast: “For this past hundred years, you have managed the mountain range meticulously and have been devoted to me loyally. This time, you have also made a lot of efforts during my revival. After the mountain range has stabilized, I will surely help you break through the threshold of the Saint. By then, you can also take the Elixir to cultivate. It’s just that it’s not feasible at the moment, the Heavenly Saint Taoist is still lurking around, waiting for an opportunity.”

Despite being in a state of slumber, healing from his injuries for a hundred years, he was aware of all movements within the mountain range. The Beast King had seen all the sacrifices, made by himself, in the past hundred years. Especially when he was alone, he had to always be on guard against the Heavenly Saint Taoist, prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice at all times. If it were someone else in his place, facing threats from Saints, they would have probably left the mountain range long ago.

“Beast King, I dare not.” The Half-step Saint’s Seat Monster was moved to tears and immediately knelt down: “I was merely doing my duty. As the King of Beasts, you lead millions of demon beasts. We will never ask for any reward from you. Even though my progress has been stalled, I dare not use the Supreme Treasure Elixir.”
