The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1235 - 471: Young Master, Thousand Beasts Pattern

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

In the Totem Ancient City, between the outer layers of the Mystery Tower,

a pale green vortex rune carried a floating carriage majestically flying towards the top of the tower.

Ye Hanjun, Ye Liuying, Mang Hao, Elder Yin, Elder Yang, the five sat in the carriage, gazing curiously out the windows.

As the carriage climbed faster and higher, the streetscapes of a large part of the Totem Ancient City came into view.

Those human cultivators walking properly on the streets, as well as those Possessing Runes active on walls and columns, all cast strange glances following the tremendous noise.

"Is that Lord Qing Ji, the second lord of Mystery?"

"It’s actually in charge of transporting carriages. Who is sitting in that carriage? Whose grandeur is so great that Lord Qing Ji personally meets them?"

"A bunch of chickens."

The Runes lined up in a row, shaking their heads in unison:

"Nine out of ten, they’re from the Divine Clan. A mere Holy King’s family does not have this prerogative."

"Eh? It looks like they’re going to the top of the tower! Could it be to pay a visit to the young Lord?"

Runes on the other side formed into a column, nodding their heads up and down:

"Could it be that guy from last time... has come again?"

"It’s really got some nerve, not considering the young Lord’s status, attempting to poach from him, its brain must have rusted!"

"Exactly! The young Lord politely turning it away was already an immense grace."

"If it were the other Lords of Mystery, they’d likely give it a beating for running its mouth!"

...

As the whispers in the streets echoed in their ears, Ye Hanjun closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting.

"Click!"

The rapidly ascending carriage came to a stop.

The green vortex rune, sliding horizontally, smoothly entered a track.

"Esteemed guests, this way please."

Qing Ji gathered the Wind Element from the air, transforming into the likeness of a human woman, and with delicate steps, began to lead the way.

The square-faced crested dog, begrudgingly crawling out from behind the carriage, glanced at the backs of Ye Hanjun and the others’ heads while smirking:

"What’s this, the young Lord actually deigns to grant you an audience."

"Just so you know, our Lord is busy with numerous affairs every day!"

"Get to the point with your business, don’t waste the young Lord’s time, or neither Qing Ji nor I will be polite to you!"

"We get it, little doggy～"

GuaGua turned around, made a silly face, a "say what you want, we’re not listening" playful expression.

"Hmph, impolite little brat, I won’t stoop to your level!"

The square-faced crested dog turned away, lips twitching, full of arrogance and disdain.

"Giggle giggle giggle~~ Giggle giggle giggle~~"

"Ha ha ha~~ Ha ha ha~~~"

Stone door, bronze door, silver door, golden door, all four mechanical doors opened in sequence.

Each was covered with numerous playful Emblem Spirits.

Those with visual organs peeked through the cracks, curiously spying on Ye Hanjun and the others, creating a cacophony of spiritual fluctuations:

"Humans! Five humans!"

"They have concealed their presence, I smell the scent of ’divine’!"

"Oh? Shattered, are these words true?"

The square-faced crested dog became serious, questioning the Emblem Spirit on the door.

"Fang, I, ’Shattered Puzzle’, never lie!"

"Especially that leading human, he carries many divine presences! Some alive, some dead, his own magnetic field is extraordinarily twisted! He’s no longer human-like, nor divine-like, nor ghost-like, I have never seen such a human!"

Giggling Emblem Spirits gathered towards the center, eventually forming into one big pancake face, gaping with a blood basin-sized mouth, chattering incessantly.

Ye Hanjun glanced at its attribute panel, Supreme Holy Completion, the Shattered Puzzle.

This was likely also one of the Nine Mysteries, with abilities and perceptions related, thus able to glimpse part of his destiny trajectory.

"Hu—"

Suddenly, within the spiritual world, an unusual life fluctuation emerged.

Ye Hanjun didn’t see its form but raised an eyebrow, his expression turning slightly serious.

"Hush, the young Lord is coming, quiet down."

In every nook and corner, the hidden Fond Spirits all shrank down to the lowest possible height, closest to the floor.

They were lined up neatly, obviously well-trained, not daring to be careless or reckless on important occasions.

"Greetings, travelers from afar."

A shadow flickered on the ground, then with a ’poof’, a thin-as-paper rune stood erect in front of Ye Hanjun and the others.

It resembled a cauldron, with an ancient bronze color, akin to a sacrificial vessel from a bygone age.

However, the cauldron’s body was extraordinary. Ye Hanjun cast a casual glance, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, the likenesses of the four divine creatures were lifelike.

Beyond that, there were Luo Fish, Sky Dogs, Fat Legacies, Gu Sculptures, Whirling Turtles, Nine-Tailed Foxes, Bai Ze, Heng Gong, Bi An...

Exotic creatures and divine beasts of the Ancient and Near Ancient past were almost all represented in miniature form.

They adorned the cauldron’s body, seemingly mere decorations, yet each was interconnected with others, creating a network of bonds seen from the perception perspective. Ye Hanjun aptly described it as a "kingdom", such was its scale and grandeur.

"The Thousand Beasts Pattern... So this is what it looks like?"

GuaGua blinked with a cute expression, lips pursed into a small circle.

Such strong divine fluctuations, even a common Divine Trace Lineage, even if grown to Supreme Holy Completion, could not possibly have this oppressive sensation.

The head of Totem Ancient City, known as the young Lord, is also a Half-Step Deity? Incredible, quite incredible!
