Chapter 2248 - 569: A Shocking Encounter with the Beast God Temple (4)

It was one of the Ten Supreme Powers at the Holy Land level—and it seemed to be the strongest of them all.

No matter how confident Wang Yue was, he didnʼt think he could take on the Beast God Temple right now.

He took a deep breath, forcing down his shock, and asked, ”Who was that bald man?”

”He was Elder Mad Lion of the temple,” the man answered just as honestly.

”Whatʼs this about the Saintess?”

Wang Yue continued. He had no enmity with the Beast God Temple, so the reason they had suddenly targeted him was clearly related to the Saintess.

He had to get to the bottom of it.

”The Saintess Project began fifty years ago. Its purpose was to extract the finest genes from humans, ferocious beasts, and sea beasts and fuse them together, creating a perfect warrior capable of challenging opponents above their level.

The research went on for many years. It was only sixteen years ago that we finally created a perfect Saintess through genetic modification.

But not long after the process was complete, she disappeared.

Over the past sixteen years, the temple has sent dozens of elders across the land to search for the Saintess. Elder Mad Lion sensed her aura just now, so he intercepted you.”

The Beast God Temple disciple had no idea how much Wang Yue wanted to know, so he simply told him everything he knew about the Saintess.

Sixteen years ago—the timing matched!

Wang Yueʼs suspicions were confirmed: the so-called Saintess was none other than the Sleeping Beauty.

But he couldnʼt understand why.

If this Saintess was the perfect warrior the Beast God Temple had gone to such lengths to create, she should have been cherished by everyone there.

How had she ended up wandering off alone and falling unconscious in that secret realm?

There might be more to the story that outsiders were never meant to know, and this Beast God Temple disciple was clearly too low-ranking to know anything about it.

Besides, Wang Yue wasnʼt particularly interested in those hidden details.

He only wanted to know whether this would bring him serious trouble, so he asked, ”How do you determine the Saintessʼs location?”

”Only the elders know how to identify the Saintessʼs aura, and they have to be within a hundred kilometers.”

Wang Yueʼs thoughts stirred. ”Have you ever been to Kaifeng City?”

”Of course. But we never sensed the Saintessʼs aura there.” The disciple had completely resigned himself to his fate and was answering absolutely everything.

Wang Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Beast God Temple relied on that same alluring aura to find the Saintess.

If he hadnʼt lifted the suppression on his true energy, he wouldnʼt have drawn Elder Mad Lion here.

That meant he didnʼt have to give up the Sleeping Beauty, who could bring countless benefits to him and his women. He only had to make sure her aura didnʼt leak out.

”Besides you five, does anyone else know you intercepted me? Are there any other Beast God Temple elders nearby?” Wang Yue asked.

The disciple shook his head.

”Elder Mad Lion wanted to claim all the credit for himself, so he didnʼt tell anyone else. The templeʼs elders are scattered across different places searching for the Saintess. The area within a few thousand kilometers is Elder Mad Lionʼs search territory. There are no other elders here.”

Wang Yue breathed another sigh of relief.

As long as he didnʼt do anything reckless and let the Sleeping Beautyʼs aura leak out, the Beast God Temple wouldnʼt find him anytime soon.

And given time—even just one year—he was confident he could break through to the Skyflight Realm.

By then, the Beast God Temple, the Beast Ghost Temple—none of them would be a problem.

Since Wang Yue had now marked the Beast God Temple as a potential enemy, he naturally wanted to learn more about them.

So he asked, ”How many elders does the Beast God Temple have, and what are their cultivation levels? How many people are in the Transcendent Realm?”

”In the temple, anyone who reaches the late stage of the Transcendent Realm becomes an elder. There are more than fifty of them. There are also more than three hundred people in the early and middle stages of the Transcendent Realm.”

Damn!

Hearing that number, Wang Yue and Yu Suxin couldnʼt help but click their tongues in astonishment.

The Beast God Temple alone had nearly four hundred people in or above the Transcendent Realm—more than the entire population of Yang Family Village.

How could the difference between two martial arts holy lands be so great?

But Wang Yueʼs horizons had broadened, and the Transcendent Realm alone no longer seemed like an insurmountable threat.

He immediately asked, ”What about the Skyflight Realm? How many people in the Beast God Temple are at that level?”

”Other than the temple master, those in the Skyflight Realm are all Grand Elders. They spend all their time in seclusion, and I donʼt know how many there are.”

The disciple shook his head.

”How does your transformation work?” Yu Suxin asked from the side.

”The ability to transform is a byproduct of the Saintess Project. Everyone in the temple now has genes from either ferocious beasts or sea beasts fused into their bodies. They can release those genes at a critical moment to increase their fighting strength.

But once the transformation ends, theyʼll be weakened for a time, and the process can also make it impossible to advance to a higher realm, so they canʼt use it casually,” the disciple answered in great detail, though it wasnʼt clear why.

The Beast God Temple really did have some impressive tricks.

They could actually create genetically modified warriors without major side effects—and the results were incredible.

Wang Yue had just experienced it firsthand: the transformation could boost even a mighty expert in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm by nearly thirty percent.

Right now, Wang Yue really wanted to find the person who had come up with the Saintess Project, point at him, and say, ”You son of a bitch, you really are a genius!”

Yu Suxin asked another question.

”Does the Beast God Temple have any other Saintesses? Since you succeeded once sixteen years ago, it shouldnʼt be hard to create another one.”
