"Interesting no wonder it's called the Undead Beast Graveyard. The name truly fits."
Lu Jun had been thoroughly impressed along the way. These ancient beast undead were different from other undead races, they retained part of their bloodline abilities from when they were alive.
He had even seen many familiar demon races, such as the low-level monsters from the novice village. Bo City's One-Eyed Demon Wolves and Ghost Wolves. After death and falling into the Undead Beast Graveyard, they transformed into beast-undead with dual attributes, becoming both ferocious and even more sinister and unpredictable.
The One-Eyed Demon Wolf's single eye evolved into a Nether Eye, capable of releasing Nether Light. On top of its melee strength, it gained ranged attacks, and most importantly, the extremely troublesome undead attribute.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Wolf gained the ability of Spirit Passage, allowing it to transform into a spiritual form and traverse the spirit world, appearing and disappearing without warning.
If Lu Jun were to return to his youth and face these kinds of creatures, he would no longer be able to casually kill them with a single sword strike, he would likely suffer a great loss instead.
Summoning Element High Tier Magic's Advanced Summoning Gate, level three: Thousand Clans Spirit Tower, Ten Thousand Dragon Valley, and the Undead Beast Graveyard.
The Spirit Tower needed no explanation. Within the Ten Thousand Dragon Valley, true dragons were countless. Yet even so, the Undead Beast Graveyard could still surpass it in rank, its strength was unimaginable.
One must know that in the Magic World, elemental spirits and sub-dragons already stood at the very top of the bloodline hierarchy, while undead contract beasts had never been given a proper classification system.
Lu Jun sighed in admiration. No wonder the Night Thunder Dream Beast had improved so much, his Water Elemental Spirit really needed to catch up properly.
However, he wasn't too worried. The mermaid girl had an old ancestor at the level of a quasi-Emperor watching over her. Once the Pacific Empire invaded and brought massive deep-sea water resources, she might even surpass the others later on.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast had returned to its own nest, a thousand-zhang tombstone mountain range. Countless ancient undead trees grew there, their canopies forming nests that suspended in the sky, an awe-inspiring sight.
Standing atop the mountain peak, Lu Jun looked around and realized there were no fewer than three to four hundred thousand-zhang tombstone mountains. Anything further out was beyond sight. This meant the Undead Beast Graveyard contained at least several hundred Monarch-level beings.
"Impressive," he remarked first. Then he turned to the Dream Beast and asked, "You're saying Manjusaka is deeper inside, near the core region of the ten-thousand-zhang Emperor tombstones?"
Yoyo~ The Night Thunder Dream Beast nodded.
Lu Jun urged, "Take me to her."
Manjusaka had once mentioned a Emperor-level bloodline creature named Tishenghua (Tian Sheng Flower) that matched his requirements.
"How strange. Tishenghua is a descendant of Naihe, part of the Good Flower lineage. Why would it exist in this pitch-black, death-filled land?"
He was puzzled. The Dream Beast beneath him set off again, crossing hundreds of thousand-zhang tombstone regions before arriving at a surging Yellow Springs river. On both sides bloomed brilliant flowers, forming a sea of crimson red spider lilies.
Seeing this, Lu Jun looked further into the darkness ahead. Even his eleventh-tier spiritual power could not extend into it at all, it was as if he were an ordinary man, unable to see anything beyond the darkness.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, as they arrived, the boundless spider lilies swayed violently. Countless blood-red petals converged, forming a heaven-piercing crimson storm.
Amidst the swirling petals, a graceful figure slowly condensed into view, shrouded in a black gauze dress, Manjusaka had appeared.
Lu Jun felt a surge of joy, but still retained a trace of caution. Although the Night Thunder Dream Beast and Manjusaka shared the bloodline connection of Yellow Springs and the other shore, he could not trust them completely.
Fortunately, he possessed the Ancient King Armor Robe. Within the Undead Beast Graveyard, his home ground the Death Element Star Cloud was already stirring, and his Calamity Nature talent was ready to erupt, potentially reaching the level of a Dominator Emperor.
At the very least, he could guarantee a safe retreat.
Thus, he asked in detail about Tishenghua.
Manjusaka answered quite frankly. Just like the dual existence of Naihe and the Other Shore, Tishenghua was her twin "paired flower" sister. They were born in this Nether Beast Graveyard, bathed day and night in ancient beast blood and death energy.
The only strange thing was that even though such conditions should have produced only the Other Shore Flower, an additional Tishenghua had instead emerged.
"Perhaps it is the interaction of yin and yang when yin reaches its extreme, yang is born."
Lu Jun fell into thought. His curse, mind, life, and death four elements all followed the path of yin-yang and life-death balance, so he naturally had some understanding of it.
But as he looked at this serene and beautiful Dark Queen, his gaze became a little strange. Good grief, so you're all just plastic "sister flowers." I treat you as a sister, but you're selling me out to a human summoner, trying to turn her into a contracted beast?
Then Manjusaka's gentle expression did not change. It seemed she had guessed Lu Jun's thoughts and continued speaking, explaining that the two of them actually had a very poor relationship, practically sworn enemies.
This was due to their different races, completely opposite attributes, and utterly divergent personalities.
In the Netherworld, Manjusaka was known as the Witch Queen. Naturally, she was not a benevolent flower; her methods were ruthless, fully aligned with the instinct of the "evil flower" lineage.
As for Tishenghua, she was different. She inherited the "good" lineage from the source of the dual good-and-evil flower queen. Her personality was kind, maternally compassionate, and full of pity toward all things. Although her combat power was strong, she also cultivated healing and blessing abilities.
Later, the two sisters went their separate ways. Manjusaka fell into the dark plane and obtained opportunities that allowed her to become a Supreme Monarch. She originally intended to return to the Undead Beast Graveyard and suppress her so-called "good" sister, Tishenghua.
Who would have thought that Tishenghua had actually entered the core imperial region of the Undead Beast Graveyard and obtained a great fortune, her bloodline reverting to its ancestral origin. She had advanced all the way to Emperor-level, and her strength was already nearing that of a True Emperor.
Manjusaka feared that once the other broke through to Emperor, she would come back to cause trouble, so she decided it would be better to quickly find a "good home" and just "marry off" (sell off) her sister.
Lu Jun's mood turned strange. One could only say, those with a dirty heart see everything as dirty.
Still, he also became interested. Since Tishenghua had a kind heart. hehe. "A gentleman uses righteousness to control her." Maybe he could try to subdue an Emperor-level undead beast.
No choice, the opportunity was rare. A pure-hearted Emperor-level existence like this was one of a kind in the world.
Just look at Su Lu; in order to contract an Emperor, he mobilized the entire Asian Magic Association and used countless methods before succeeding.
"So, where is Tishenghua?"
Upon hearing this, Manjusaka showed a troubled expression. Her spiritual voice responded that she was still in the fortune land of the Emperor core region.
To put it simply, although Tishenghua had obtained her opportunity, she was trapped in that special region. That place had unique laws and contained temporal-spatial power, one day inside equaled one year outside.
Tishenghua was unable to move, but once she fully advanced to Emperor, she would definitely be able to break free.
Lu Jun pondered. Temporal-spatial power—this was precisely something he was quite familiar with. Manjusaka likely sensed his spatial-temporal aura, which was why she invited him to the Undead Beast Graveyard.
In addition, the connection with the Night Thunder Dream Beast was also indispensable.
When the two combined, not only would their resonance increase their combat power, but it would also nourish their bloodlines, accelerating their breakthrough toward Emperor-level.
He asked, "Then how do we get to the Emperor core region?"
Manjusaka's expression turned slightly serious. The core region of the Undead Beast Graveyard was not easy to enter; even Supreme Monarchs like them found it difficult to even seek an audience with the Emperor.
There were three trials in total, only those who could pass them and possess the potential to reach Emperor level would be able to enter the core region.
The first trial is Yellow Springs, the second is the Other Shore Flower, and the third is the Gate of Hell!.
