Chapter 2556: Chapter 2556: Attempting to Leave
"This works too!" The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor instantly perked up. "We can give it a try! Go go go, don’t waste time, let’s hurry out and grab a few Demon Beasts to test it on."
Su Yang was speechless for a moment. This Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor really was impatient.
He followed the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor out of the cave. On the way, Su Yang casually asked, "Lord Kunpeng, I see the Demon Beasts under your command can control those mindless Demon Beasts outside?"
"They can, but don’t even think about taking them out with you!" the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said. "Those mindless Demon Beasts were originally trained by the Guardian God. We just spent many years gradually figuring out some of their quirks so we can drive them to do a few things. But the Guardian God has a systematic way of controlling them. Once these Demon Beasts get out, the chance of them being controlled by the Guardian God is much higher; that would just be asking for trouble!"
"Oh, so that’s how it is!" Su Yang immediately dropped his previous idea. He’d been planning to bring these Demon Beasts out and use them against the Guardian God. Now it seemed that was off the table.
"But you don’t need to worry too much," the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said. "The Demon Beasts who follow at my side make up almost half of the Demon Beast Clan’s Saint Emperors, and they’re all extremely powerful. Once we’re out, even if we can’t completely suppress the Guardian God, we can still turn the tide. If the Guardian God wants to easily wipe us out, that’s impossible too!"
Su Yang let out a breath of relief. He had still been worrying that the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor didn’t have enough subordinates. Now it looked like he’d been overthinking it.
Talking as they walked, the two arrived in the cave. Without Su Yang needing to act, the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor personally grabbed five Demon Beasts and placed them beside Su Yang.
"These five Demon Beasts have already had their power sealed. You can use them for a test run first," the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said.
Su Yang nodded, stuffed the five Demon Beasts into his Personal Space, then directly dropped into the Spirit Liquid Lake below.
Entering the Spirit Liquid Lake, Su Yang was actually quite anxious. He had no idea how the person inside the Spirit Liquid Lake would react. If this method didn’t work either, then he was really screwed—he honestly couldn’t think of any other way to take these Demon Beasts out.
Su Yang carefully watched that person as he slowly sank deeper. That person remained motionless, as if completely unaware of what Su Yang was doing.
Su Yang let out a small breath of relief. To be safe, he still inched a bit closer to that person.
In the end, he walked forward until he couldn’t go any further, and that person still didn’t react at all.
Su Yang finally felt at ease. This method was workable after all.
Of course, to fully verify it, Su Yang went all the way down to the lakebed, passed through it, and entered Storm Valley.
The whole process went extremely smoothly. Not only did that person not make a move, even the power of Storm Valley didn’t harm those five Demon Beasts.
Su Yang exhaled in relief and quickly returned to the valley.
The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor was waiting there. When he saw Su Yang come up, he immediately ran over to ask, "How is it? How is it? How is it?"
"No problem at all!" Su Yang opened his Personal Space and released the five Demon Beasts. "Look, not a scratch on them!"
The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor stared at the five Demon Beasts for quite a while. After confirming there was nothing wrong with them, he was overjoyed.
"Excellent!" the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said gleefully. "We can finally get out! Damn it, I’ve been trapped in here for tens of thousands of years, I’m about to suffocate to death. Come on, hurry up, hurry up and arrange for me to get out!"
"Don’t rush it!" Su Yang said. "This was only the first try. I’ll test it a few more times to avoid any accidents. Also, call all your people over. I’ll take you out in batches in a bit."
"Works for me!" The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor nodded and immediately went to summon his subordinates.
Su Yang grabbed a few more Demon Beasts to increase the number inside his Personal Space, then tried again.
After going back and forth several times with no reaction from that person, Su Yang felt much more at ease. Without a doubt, this method was solid.
The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor also gathered all his subordinates. Su Yang took one look and was utterly shocked.
The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor had said before that he had many Saint Emperors under his command, but seeing it with his own eyes this time still stunned Su Yang.
The number of these Saint Emperors was even greater than the number of Saint Emperors among the Demon Beasts outside.
"Lord Kunpeng, where did you find so many Saint Emperors?" Su Yang couldn’t help asking. "When I was outside before, listening to people talk about you, I never heard you had this many Saint Emperors by your side!"
"Thirty percent of these Saint Emperors reached that realm before coming in. The rest all became Saint Emperors here in this valley!" The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor pointed at the Spirit Liquid Lake below. "This place has the most abundant Spiritual Energy for Cultivation. Becoming a Saint Emperor isn’t exactly difficult here!"
"But the Spiritual Energy here used to be only Yellow Level, and it’s been less than a thousand years since it turned into Xuan-level Spiritual Energy!" Su Yang said in surprise. "In just a thousand years, no matter how much Spiritual Energy there is, it shouldn’t be enough to let so many Demon Beasts become Saint Emperors, right?"
"That’s thanks to that palace!" the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor said. "Inside that palace there’s not only the recorded history of this Great World, but also many powerful Secret Techniques. A lot of them are Secret Techniques suited for the Cultivation of our Demon Beast Clan. With these Secret Techniques, the Cultivators of our Demon Beast Clan can advance to Saint Emperor in the shortest time. With Secret Techniques, with Spiritual Energy, and with this place where they can Cultivate without distractions—if they still can’t become Saint Emperors, they don’t deserve to follow me!"
Su Yang suddenly understood. So that was how it was.
"Lord Kunpeng, you have to be in the first batch to go out!" Su Yang said. "I already told you before, Dao Ji is guarding outside, waiting for me..."
"Yeah, yeah, I know!" The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor waved his hand. "Just leave it to me. I haven’t stretched my muscles in tens of thousands of years; today I’m going out for a proper workout. Dao Ji, the Human Clan’s number one? Hmph, I’d like to see just how strong this so-called number one of the Human Clan really is!"
"His Primordial Energy has been severely depleted, so his strength should have taken a big hit. But he’s still got two Heavenly War God’s Divine Artifacts in his hands, and those are nothing to scoff at," Su Yang said.
"Heavenly War God’s Divine Artifacts?" The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor slowly nodded. "Those we do need to be careful of. But with his Primordial Energy heavily damaged, the power of the Heavenly War God’s Divine Artifacts won’t be fully unleashed. It’s fine, leave him to me!"
Seeing how confident the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor was, Su Yang could finally relax. He opened his Personal Space, letting the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor take several dozen Saint Emperor Guards and go in first. They would be the first batch he sent out.
