Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Ten Thousand Snakes Cave

Elder Li Qing of the Foreign Affairs Hall stepped forward and said softly to the chaotic crowd on the square, “Alright, all disciples return to your original positions and stand properly. The allocation of disciple quotas for each peak will now begin.”

In fact, the matter of how the newcomers were to be allocated had already been discussed and decided upon by the peak elders beforehand. Now, it was merely a matter of re-dividing the disciples who had been unable to exit the illusion array based on the number of people in each respective peak.

These disciples didn’t have much to be picked over; since they couldn’t exit the illusion array, it was clear that their current state of mind needed improvement.

Although their cultivation levels varied, with a few from prestigious families possessing the strength of the late Qi Refinement stage, these small cultivation levels weren’t significant in the eyes of the Golden Core Elders; there was certainly no need to cause a commotion over them.

Thus, under the direction of the Foreign Affairs Hall, the peak elders quickly finalized the quotas.

The division by the Foreign Affairs Hall was interesting; they did not group the disciples from the same country or prefecture together but dispersed them all. This also prevented the peak elders from gathering all the newcomers from their regions and forming separate groups within the sect.

Once all the disciples were allocated, the elders from the Outer Peaks simply gave a few instructions and then flew away on their respective spiritual beasts.

These newcomer disciples were escorted to their respective peaks by the Foundation Establishment Deacons of the Foreign Affairs Hall; there was no need for the Golden Core Elders to worry about them.

Soon, nine large tower ships flew in, landing at the edge of the square.

Qin Feng glanced at them a few times. The tower ship that had brought them to the Beast Taming Sect was not among them, presumably because it had been damaged in a previous battle and sent for repairs.

As soon as the tower ships landed, a cultivator on one of them, pulled by a Moon Watching Spirit Rhinoceros, called out, “Disciples of Spiritual Snake Peak, Spiritual Ape Peak, Spirit Rhinoceros Peak, Fire Crow Peak, Heavenly Silkworm Peak, Spiritual Butterfly Peak, Heavenly Horse Peak, Profound Turtle Peak, Mystic Bird Peak, Baoxiang Peak, Sky Wolf Peak, and Golden Camel Peak, come here.”

Clearly, this tower ship was tasked with transporting the disciples from these twelve peaks.

Under the guidance of several Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Qin Feng and others boarded the tower ship. Once everyone was on board and it was confirmed that no one was left behind, the cultivator then ordered the ship to take off.

The large Moon Watching Spirit Rhinoceros growled softly, slowly rising to its feet. Treading the void, it pulled the tower ship and flew off into the distance.

Though the creature’s movements were slow, its flying speed wasn’t slow at all; it quickly soared into the sky and flew away into the distance.

The Beast Taming Sect covered thousands of miles, with the entire mountain range under their control. The Outer Peaks were scattered in various locations, and it would take these disciples half a month on foot without these tower ships to reach their destinations.

With the tower ships, however, it only took half a day to transport all the peak disciples.

“Thank you, senior brothers,”

At a flat area at the foot of Spiritual Snake Peak, Junior Brother Chen Qiao, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had come to welcome the newcomers, bowed to several Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the tower ship who had delivered these disciples.

“Junior Brother Chen is too kind,”

The ship’s leading elder, a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, chuckled, “We still have disciples from several peaks to deliver. We won’t linger here. Junior Brother Chen, when you come to the Foreign Affairs Hall next time, remember to join us for tea.”

“Certainly, certainly,”

Chen Qiao responded with a full-faced smile.

After the cultivators commanding the Tower Ship had left, he turned around and said to the crowd, “I am Junior Brother Chen Qiao, a Deacon Disciple from Spiritual Snake Peak, sent to arrange accommodations for you all.

First, follow me to register and collect your Identity Jade Token and Beast Taming Sect Magic Robes, among other items, and then I will arrange your accommodations and various other affairs.”

Everyone nodded repeatedly, of course having no objections, and they all followed behind Chen Qiao, heading towards a courtyard halfway up the mountain.

That place was the Deacon Room of Spiritual Snake Peak, considered a subordinate institution of the Internal Affairs Hall of the Sect, although each Peak arranged for its own disciples to take control; the Elders of the Internal Affairs Hall generally did not wish to interfere in the internal affairs of the Peaks.

Qin Feng and the others followed Chen Qiao up the mountain while curiously looking around.

Nearly one hundred and fifty disciples had been assigned to Spiritual Snake Peak, the majority of whom came from commoner backgrounds and had very limited understanding of the Beast Taming Sect; they only knew that it was a powerful Sect, but did not know exactly how powerful it was or what the internal set-up of the Sect looked like.

The rest, like Qin Feng from smaller clans, had their clan elders tell them quite a bit about the Sect.

But those elders, during their time at the Sect, had only entered one of the Peaks, and not every generation could produce a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; being lower-level cultivators, they also did not know too much about the rest of the Peaks in the Sect.

Thus, not only were those youngsters from commoner backgrounds immensely curious about Spiritual Snake Peak, but even disciples from small families like Qin Feng looked around curiously, taking in the sights of Spiritual Snake Peak.

In their imaginations, Spiritual Snake Peak should have been the place within the Outer Peaks with the most snake-type Spiritual Beasts.

However, as Qin Feng and the others looked around, they not only failed to see many Spiritual Snakes, but they also felt that this mountain peak was exceptionally beautiful and majestic, brimming with Spiritual Energy; they barely sensed any Demon Energy, making it resemble more the residence of a Sect practicing orthodox Daoism Cultivation Techniques.

“Chen… Senior Brother.”

One of the disciples looked at Chen Qiao, slightly puzzled, and asked, “Isn’t this Spiritual Snake Peak? How come we haven’t even seen a few Spiritual Snakes?”

Seeing the curious looks from everyone, Chen Qiao couldn’t help but smile lightly, “Do not be surprised. Although our Beast Taming Sect excels in manipulating Spiritual Beasts in battle, after all, it is still a Sect for Cultivation, and naturally, we prioritize our own Cultivation practices.

Spiritual Snake Peak is our place of Cultivation, of course, it has to be made more suitable for Cultivation, which makes it more comfortable to reside in. As for the place where Spiritual Snakes are bred, it is in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.”

“Ten Thousand Snakes Cave?”

The group became even more astonished, “Is the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave not on Spiritual Snake Peak?”

“Of course not.”

Chen Qiao explained, “The several mountain peaks surrounding Spiritual Snake Peak and the territory within one to two hundred miles belong to Spiritual Snake Peak. @@novelbin@@

Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is located between two mountains to the south, deep inside a cavern in the valley.

The rest of the territory either houses some special types of Spiritual Snakes or cultivates various kinds of Spiritual Medicines that enhance the Cultivation evolution of Spiritual Snakes; there are also some rare Spiritual Medicines that can only grow in the areas frequented by these Spiritual Snakes.”

He looked at everyone, a playful smile on his face, “If any disciple is assigned to some special areas, tasked with taking care of the Spiritual Snakes and Spiritual Medicines there, be very careful not to violate any taboos.

Otherwise, if you were to anger some fierce-tempered Spiritual Snakes and they swallowed you whole, you could only pray for the Sect to avenge you.”
