Chapter 495

Lin Qi's gaze locked onto the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu.

The many disaster beasts carved onto the pillar were of all shapes and sizes; some completely defied common sense, and there were even shapes of disaster beasts he had never seen before.

Some resembled giant birds but had nine heads, while others were shaped like giant snakes but had wings.

There were disaster beasts of all forms, dense and packed, making one's eyes dazzled, not knowing how to choose.

At the same time, the surface of the blood pillar was covered in profound patterns, which, under the dazzling lights, seemed to have merged with the disaster beasts.

Every disaster beast seemed alive, and Lin Qi couldn't help but activate his Golden Pupils.

His eyes bloomed with golden light; he was a full several dozen meters away from the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu, but he could see clearly in his eyes.

Now that he had activated 【Golden Pupils】 again to release his super vision, every detail on the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu could be seen clearly.

"This is...?"

Lin Qi suddenly frowned. In his line of sight, the body of a giant snake disaster beast carving magnified, revealing the details on its body—they were lines of profound patterns.

These profound patterns seemed to be expounding some kind of mystery.

Lin Qi was instantly mesmerized.

"Hiss~"

The next instant, it was as if a snake's hiss sounded in his ear, and the giant snake carving opened its snake pupils in an instant to stare at him.

"Boom!!"

The massive body instantly pulled out from the blood pillar, shuttling through the air and rushing toward Lin Qi.

"Not good!"

Lin Qi secretly thought it was bad, instantly closing his eyes and shutting off his Golden Pupils.

A strong aura impacted his spirit, causing his consciousness space to tremble.

A moment later, he opened his eyes again.

He had lingering fears, and sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead.

"Just now, did I comprehend a high-level source energy cultivation art?"

Lin Qi looked at the giant snake statue; just now, he had been immersed in comprehension for an instant.

It was very much like what Director Fu described as the appearance of comprehending a high-level source energy cultivation art.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu was very magical; the cultivation art was hidden within the statue, requiring comprehension, bloodline roaring, and information transmission in the void.

If he hadn't interrupted just now and let the giant snake rush into his mind, he would have been able to comprehend a high-level source energy cultivation art.

It was only a matter of a few minutes, and he hadn't even consumed the blood of the Platinum Evil Tiger.

Ordinary geniuses needed several months, or even a year, to comprehend a level-ten disaster beast cultivation art.

And for him, a few minutes was enough.

And he hadn't accepted it either.

"The cultivation art comprehended from a level-ten disaster beast is not what I imagined."

"If evaluated by star rating, a level-ten disaster beast's cultivation art is at most a three-star rating."

"Level-eleven disaster beasts are four-star, and level-twelve are five-star."

"The high-level source energy cultivation arts comprehended from their bodies are what I want."

Lin Qi thought to himself; his goal was very clear, which was to observe level-twelve disaster beasts.

He looked at the giant snake statue; the other party was just one of the countless level-ten disaster beasts at the very bottom of the stone pillar.

The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu was divided into three layers; the bottom was level-ten disaster beasts, which were the smallest in size and the most numerous.

The middle layer was level-eleven disaster beasts; their bodies were larger, with one being comparable to several level-ten disaster beasts.

And the top was level-twelve disaster beasts; their bodies were the largest, and their numbers were the fewest.

Looking down at the disaster beasts on the bottom layer, they were natural kings and leaders.

The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu was like a pyramid food chain, with the strongest being the level-twelve disaster beasts at the top.

Lin Qi stepped onto the white steps and began to walk.

He was not in a hurry to observe; for him, finding a suitable target first was more important.

He opened the box, took out a drop of Platinum Evil Tiger blood from it, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

"Boom!!"

After the blood entered his body, it was quickly digested, and at the same time, his body became active, and a special aura was released from his body.

This was the aura of a Platinum Evil Tiger, which collided and made contact with the disaster beasts on the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu.

This was conducive to finding the most compatible disaster beast.

There were quite a few others like him, mostly walking around the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu.

First, observe all the disaster beasts roughly, and then look for disaster beasts similar to the evolution methods practiced before.

For example, if practicing the "Nine-Headed Snake Emperor Evolution Method," focus on snake-type disaster beasts.

As time passed, more and more geniuses also entered into cultivation.

Many seventh-realm geniuses also learned about the various matters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu from the accompanying receptionists and the country's high-realm martial artists.

In the group of the White Eagle Federation, more than a dozen geniuses heard the explanation of a burly man and successively revealed excited eyes.

"I want to observe level-eleven disaster beasts!"

"Should I just honestly observe level-ten disaster beasts?"

The burly man was an eighth-realm martial artist; he crossed his arms and grinned, saying:

"I know many of you are very confident in your talent."

"So I won't stop you from observing stronger disaster beasts."

"But remember not to get carried away. When you have no clue after observing for a continuous week, it means you are simply not suitable."

"Stop observing immediately, otherwise the only one who will regret it in the end is yourself."

"Alright, go, start practicing!"

After the crowd dispersed, the burly man said to the black man, Jenos:

"Jenos, you are an SSS-level genius, you can try to observe level-twelve disaster beasts!"

"But I have to give you a heads-up in advance; even geniuses who have awakened two special abilities are not necessarily able to comprehend successfully."

Jenos nodded seriously and said confidently, "I believe I can."

After speaking, he turned around with the metal box, jumped off the steps, and began to observe the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu.

The burly man shook his head looking at Jenos's back; no matter how many times he said it.

As an SSS-level genius, they would all try to observe level-twelve disaster beasts. Facts would give the answer; when the other party had no gains after observing for a few days, they would naturally choose to give up.

On the other side, the numerous seventh-realm geniuses of the Tianzhu Kingdom also stepped onto the steps one after another.

The bald Nitin Lei Di was also among them; he looked at the towering giant pillar and thought to himself:

"The teacher said that with my talent, it is impossible to comprehend level-twelve disaster beasts."

"Without enough comprehension to comprehend a high-level source energy cultivation art, level-eleven disaster beasts are the most suitable for me."

"But I still want to try!"

"Otherwise, I won't be reconciled!"

Nitin Lei Di consumed a drop of level-nine disaster beast blood and looked up at the very top of the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu.

Carved with hundreds of level-twelve disaster beasts, he was looking for the one most compatible with himself.

……

!

Outside the black building

In a spacious office, the decoration was antique.

Liu Yuanzhang and Director Fu sat opposite each other at the tea table.

Liu Yuanzhang took the hot tea, took a sip, felt the subtlety in it, and couldn't help but sigh a moment later:

"Good tea!"

"Only Director Fu has such top-quality tea in his hands."

Immediately, he asked again:

"Director Fu, with your decades of experience, do you think Lin Qi can comprehend a high-level source energy cultivation art from the level-twelve disaster beast carvings?"

Fu Xuan drank a sip of tea calmly and said:

"In my decades, I have seen more geniuses than those on the leaderboard."

"Lin Qi can also be considered upstream among the geniuses I have seen!"

"Observing level-twelve disaster beasts, I dare not say 100%, but at least there is a 90% probability of success."

"The only thing to worry about is how long it will take him to practice successfully."

"I guess 60 days, which is two months."

"After all, he is a genius who broke through to the seventh realm in his sophomore year."

Liu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow Director Fu's good words."

……

Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu

On the spacious steps, hundreds of people were sitting, all from all over the country.

Some had just arrived, curiously observing every disaster beast.

Some geniuses were staring excitedly at level-eleven disaster beasts.

There were also geniuses staring intently at a certain disaster beast, their brows tightly locked.

"This is... Senior Shen Heng!"

Lin Qi walked around the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu and soon saw a familiar figure.

Senior Shen Heng, wearing a black robe with a slender figure, seemed to have some induction, and he turned his head to look over.

Lin Qi nodded.

After Senior Shen Heng saw Lin Qi, he suddenly revealed a stunned expression, and then nodded as well.

He was surprised inwardly: "Why did Lin Qi also come to the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu?"

"Could it be that he has already broken through to the seventh realm?"

"So fast!"

Senior Shen Heng was surprised at Lin Qi's speed; it was really too fast.

He had only been at the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu for more than two months, and Lin Qi had broken through one after another.

He suddenly felt a pressure.

However, he had already reached the most important juncture now; he felt that in one month at the earliest, he would be able to practice successfully.

……

Lin Qi looked at Senior Shen Heng and keenly noticed that the aura fluctuations on the other party's body had already changed.

There were signs of intersection with the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu, and the aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

This seemed to be a sign that he was about to comprehend successfully.

Lin Qi continued to walk and soon saw Ivan Petrov of the Mao Xiong Kingdom.

The other party also seemed to be about to practice successfully; in another month, he and Senior Shen Heng would likely complete their practice.

After walking for several hours, Lin Qi returned to his original position.

He closed his eyes, and in his mind, disaster beasts appeared one by one; 9528 disaster beasts all appeared.

Immediately, he opened his eyes and looked at the disaster beast carvings at the top; among the 9528 disaster beasts, there were only hundreds of level-twelve disaster beasts.

Compared to level-ten, level-eleven disaster beasts were a lot smaller, and level-twelve disaster beasts were even fewer.

"Huhu!!"

Lin Qi's whole body was active, his blood energy was becoming stronger, and the evil spirit belonging to the Platinum Evil Tiger also emerged; he began to observe the tiger types among the hundreds of disaster beasts.

The first tiger-type carving was a disaster beast with wings on its back, releasing cold ice all over its body.

Lin Qi felt a sense of intimacy, and a sound of tiger roaring came to his ears.

He had an intuition that if he comprehended this disaster beast, he would soon be able to comprehend the cultivation method.

But he shook his head; this was not suitable for him. He came to the next one; this was a giant tiger-type disaster beast with bulging muscles, covered in red flames.

The moment he perceived it, the surrounding space seemed to be incinerated.

This one wouldn't work either; he was of the metal attribute.

Then Lin Qi continued to look down, one tiger-type monster after another, and there were also disaster beasts that fused the characteristics of other types.

For example, a combination of tiger and snake animals, possessing fire and water attributes.

There were also tiger beasts with nine heads, possessing three kinds of power simultaneously, which were exceptionally powerful.

Lin Qi felt that once practiced, his body would undergo a huge transformation.

He looked all the way, with all kinds of attributes, until he came to a disaster beast and stopped his steps.
