A group of ancient Evil Spirit Race members were now relying on the blood of the Divine Spirit Race to extend their lives, causing the Divine Spirit Race to grind their teeth in anger. No wonder they captured so many Divine Spirit Race members—to sustain these ancient ones, they had no choice.
Originally, these ancient ones were at the God Monarch level, but due to aging, they had all fallen to the Heaven Monarch level. Thus, unless necessary, they didn’t move at all, as any movement could mean death.
Most cultivators used similar methods: sealing themselves or using methods to extend their lives. Their approaches varied slightly, but the result was the same—death unless their cultivation broke through.
Due to their nearing lifespans, they showed no interest in anything unless the Evil Spirit Race was on the brink of extinction. Even when Yi Tianyun greeted them earlier, they ignored him, and they would do the same even if Elder Taishuo greeted them.
They were like puppets, soaking in the blood pool without moving, occasionally stirring slightly to absorb the blood.
Yi Tianyun’s eyes were filled with killing intent. These seemingly weak individuals were actually brutal, with their hands stained with innocent blood. Now, losing their combat power, they extended their lives here.
The Evil Spirit Race wouldn’t give them such treatment without their past achievements.
Following Elder Taishuo, Elder Taishuo explained, “As long as you create enough great deeds, you can live like these pioneering elders, extending your life! Of course, you’re still young and have plenty of time to make achievements.”
After passing through the passage, they saw sturdy cages, each containing a member of the Divine Spirit Race. Looking around, dozens of Divine Spirit Race members, including their elders, were imprisoned.
Yi Tianyun immediately recognized the elder, who sat calmly with a peaceful expression. When they entered, the elder slowly opened his eyes, revealing a wise look.
Unlike the other Divine Spirit Race members, who glared at them angrily, the elder remained calm. The others wanted to curse but seemed to be holding back, likely having been advised by the elder.
“It’s Elder Ji Yue! They’re all safe, thank goodness…” Ji Shuilian collapsed to the ground, relieved to see them unharmed.
A quick glance showed that most of their people were still here, not transferred elsewhere, easing their worry.
Elder Ji Yue’s calmness indicated he knew they couldn’t be freed easily. The cages were made of special dark stones, and their powers were sealed, making escape impossible.
“Oh, you’re quite arrogant after being imprisoned for so long?” Elder Taishuo chuckled. But it’s good. Some spirit keeps things fresh.”
He then turned to Yi Tianyun, “Pick one, except for this elder. The others can be freely chosen. While the Holy Maiden’s blood can’t be taken lightly, these can be used at will. It’s better than any elixir for us.”
He smacked his lips as if savoring a delicacy, “These are quite the tonic. I see your potential, so I’m rewarding you with one. Do well, and you’ll get more. These Divine Spirit Race members were hard to capture, hiding well over the years.”
“However, I’ve still caught quite a few. Otherwise, we couldn’t meet our tributes.”
Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes, hearing the word “tribute” again.
“Elder Taishuo, who are these Divine Spirit Race members being offered to?” Yi Tianyun asked.
“To our Domain Lord, of course. The Domain Lord specifically ordered us to capture Divine Spirit Race members. The other races have long been overused; the Divine Spirit Race is rarer and harder to capture,” Elder Taishuo explained without suspicion.
“Tribute to the Domain Lord…”
Yi Tianyun realized the truth. These precious resources were for the Domain Lord, not the common Evil Spirit Race members. They were like rare elixirs, reserved for high-ranking individuals.
“Elder Taishuo, I’ll choose her,” Yi Tianyun pointed casually at a Divine Spirit Race member, selecting the closest one without much consideration. After all, he wasn’t an Evil Spirit Race member and wouldn’t consume them.
“Choose me! Choose me!” A nearby young man stood up, shouting, “Have the guts to choose me, you beast!”
“Quiet!” Elder Taishuo waved his hand, sending an invisible force that knocked the young man against the sturdy cage, rendering him unconscious.
The other Divine Spirit Race members looked grim, knowing they couldn’t control their fate and could only endure their plight.
“Choosing a female Divine Spirit Race member, not bad…” Elder Taishuo gave Yi Tianyun a meaningful look.
Yi Tianyun felt helpless; he had chosen randomly and didn’t care about the gender, but he didn’t bother explaining.
Elder Taishuo then opened the cage, and the selected Divine Spirit Race member floated over, restrained and unable to resist, similar to Ji Shuilian’s initial state.
“This is your reward. Perform well, and you’ll get more,” Elder Taishuo said, handing over the Divine Spirit Race member as if delivering cargo.
To them, these individuals were mere commodities, treasures to be rewarded.
