Sage of Humanity-Chapter 559 - 557: Great Reversal Valley

"A Sacred Object?" Lu Ye frowned.

"That's the rough idea, it can also be interpreted as a totem," Yiyi continued to explain, "They have followed Giant Armor for a very long time, and since Giant Armor can help enhance the strength of their pack, they won't let Giant Armor leave... The alpha wolf also said we're free to go, they won't stop us."

If Lu Ye couldn't bring Giant Armor to meet up with his fourth senior brother and Feng Yuechan, then what was the purpose of his coming here?

He could forcibly leave, of course. With his and Giant Armor's current cultivation, even without using the Flying Spirit Artifacts, they could still travel through air. From the looks of it, this pack of demon wolves didn't possess the power to fly, so they wouldn't be able to catch up to them.

But with the demon beasts' power reaching such levels, even without the ability to fly, they still had means to attack enemies in the air. If he acted rashly and angered them, it was not certain he could escape unscathed.

It was a bit troublesome.

Sensing Lu Ye's thoughts, the alpha wolf suddenly let out a howl, and Amber responded with a defiant roar. In the next instant, the demon origin on the bodies of the hundreds of giant wolves surged up, and a piercing killing intent enveloped the area.

Lu Ye immediately felt a prickling sensation on his skin and raised his hand to rest on the Boulder Mountain Saber.

In that tense moment, Giant Armor suddenly raised its palm large as a fan and slapped it down on the head of the alpha wolf, causing it to stagger.

"Behave yourself!"

The alpha wolf shook its head, and its ferocious gaze quickly subsided. The savage nature of the hundreds of giant wolves also quickly retreated, becoming harmless to humans and animals alike.

Lu Ye watched in amazement.

From the current situation, Giant Armor indeed had an unparalleled status in the eyes of this wolf pack. Even as the alpha wolf got hit, it showed no sign of anger, which was not the usual reaction of a demon beast.

It seemed that Giant Armor didn't know the Path of Beast Taming and had never commanded these demon wolves, but the benefits he had brought to the pack during this time had given him the leverage to control the entire wolf pack.

The alpha wolf, with its head lowered, glanced at Giant Armor, then at Lu Ye, and let out a few low growls in its throat.

Yiyi immediately said, "It's saying that we can leave if we want to, but we should take them with us. They want to follow Giant Armor, and wherever Giant Armor goes, they will follow."

Lu Ye was somewhat amused yet exasperated, thinking how they were haggling now.

He had never expected that Giant Armor, such a sizable figure, would be clung to by a pack of demon beasts. Such an encounter was probably unprecedented in the entire history of the Cloud River battlefield.

If those from the beast-taming factions were to see this, they would surely be astounded by Giant Armor.

However, bringing such a wolf pack with them was clearly impractical. Demon beasts were of great value to cultivators, and taking them out of here would only invite numerous troubles.

But the wolves had already made their offer, and if he didn't agree to take the whole pack with him, they definitely wouldn't let Giant Armor leave. Following Giant Armor was their greatest compromise.

If he tried to leave by force, the wolf pack wouldn't attack Giant Armor but would come after him instead. Despite the alpha wolf's docile and submissive behavior in front of Giant Armor, it was only reserved for Giant Armor alone.

Lu Ye frowned; things were getting complicated.

Leave Giant Armor behind? With such a wolf pack as guardians, Giant Armor would indeed face little danger in his daily life and could thrive in the Great Wilderness Mountain.

But the issue was the anomalies produced during Giant Armor's cultivation, which had already attracted so many cultivators and a large gathering of demon beasts. Even though they had safely passed so many days, mishaps could happen at any time.

As thoughts churned in his mind, Lu Ye suddenly realized something.

The reason he wanted to take Giant Armor away was to meet up with his fourth senior brother and Feng Yuechan, and then find a suitable location for establishing a Class A Spirit Ground. It was his senior brother's responsibility to choose the location for the spirit ground, and they had not contacted him for several days, obviously still searching.

Finding a suitable location was not easy; first, it had to be sufficiently concealed, and second, it needed strategic advantages...

Perhaps the Great Wilderness Mountain was a good choice?

It was a natural fortress, teeming with powerful demon beasts. While many cultivators came here to slay the demon beasts, they would never venture too deep. So as long as the chosen spot was deep enough, the spirit ground could minimize the risk of being discovered by cultivators.

And if the wolf pack insisted on following Giant Armor, then they were the spirit ground's natural guardians. With such a powerful force behind them, even if they ventured deeper into the Great Wilderness Mountain, they could protect themselves against the vast majority of threats.

So... there might be no need to take Giant Armor away. Setting up the spirit ground deep in the Great Wilderness Mountain seemed like a better choice!

Realizing this, Lu Ye's mind suddenly cleared, as if he had emerged from darkness into the light.

Looking up, the huge wolves, the size of young calves, seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Of course, all this hinged on the wolf pack's loyalty to Giant Armor. Without sufficient loyalty, having such a pack around would give no one a sense of security.

However, from the current situation, the wolf pack's loyalty to Giant Armor didn't seem to be a problem, since they still depended on his cultivation to enhance the strength of their pack.

"Amber, ask it to find us a quiet and safe location," Lu Ye said.

Amber growled softly at the alpha wolf, which responded intermittently and then looked up at Lu Ye, its wolf eyes filled with almost human-like expressions.

After a while, the alpha wolf turned, lowered its head to nudge Giant Armor onto its back, and started striding towards the depths of the forest.

Hundreds of giant wolves closely followed behind.

Lu Ye also climbed aboard the tiger's back, and with a few swift steps, Amber sprinted to the side of the lead wolf, matching its pace.

Racing along, they continuously delved into the depths of Great Wilderness Mountain, with Lu Ye pulling out the ten-part map for reference.

The area they were now in was already considered deep within Great Wilderness Mountain. The demon beasts that lurked here were generally not weak. Any cultivators passing through this area in normal times would be ill at ease, never knowing when a hidden demon beast might launch an attack.

However, none of the demon beasts dared to show their heads and provoke them as the wolf pack passed by.

Lu Ye even saw a demon beast with a powerful presence avoiding the wolves' path, and only after the wolves had passed did it symbolically roar a few times, seemingly venting its dissatisfaction at the intrusion into its territory.

After half a day, the wolf pack stopped in a mountain valley.

The valley was picturesque, with colorful flowers vying for beauty, and the constant chirping of birds and insects.

The valley was quite large, with mountains on three sides. One side backed onto a cliff, from the top of which a waterfall poured down, its thunderous sounds unceasing. Looking up, the spray of the waterfall, illuminated by the light, reflected a rainbow of colors.

Beneath the waterfall flowed a river, beside which many wild animals were drinking.

"How beautiful!" Standing atop Amber's head, Yiyi gazed entranced at the waterfall and the rainbow.

Very few knew that within the precarious Great Wilderness Mountain there lay such a hidden paradise.

Lu Ye examined the ten-part map; this place was marked as Great Reversal Valley.

Using weapon control, he flew around the valley, saw no traces of demon beasts.

It was a wonderful place, not just for its beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, but also for its natural barriers. Should Giant Armor continue cultivating here in the future, even if some anomalies arose, they would likely be obscured by the valley's surrounding barriers without causing too much disturbance.

"Lu Ye, Lu Ye," Yiyi called out excitedly, "let's choose this place for the spirit ground, shall we?"

Clearly, she had this idea too.

Lu Ye nodded, "I'll message Fourth Senior Brother."

Raising his hand and touching the battlefield marking, a message was sent out, "Fourth Senior Brother, have you found any leads on the spirit ground?"

Li Baxian responded promptly, "Don't rush, Little Junior Brother, I am still searching."

"I have found a suitable place here."

"Oh? Little Junior Brother has found one? Where is it?"

"Great Wilderness Mountain, Great Reversal Valley."

After waiting a moment, Li Baxian did not respond, presumably checking his own ten-part map for the precise location of Great Reversal Valley.

Quite a while later, Li Baxian finally sent a message back, "Little Junior Brother, that location is too deep into Great Wilderness Mountain, it's not safe. If we really were to set up the spirit ground there, it might reduce the risk of being discovered by others, but the demon beasts there are not to be trifiled with."

"The situation is a bit complicated. Brother and Senior Sister Feng should come over and meet with me first, then you'll understand."

"Alright." Li Baxian didn't ask too much. Since Lu Ye asked him to come and meet, he immediately set off with Feng Yuechan toward their location.

After ending the communication, Yiyi asked, "What did Fourth Senior Brother say?"

"They're on their way here, it should take a few days. Let's use this time to familiarize ourselves with the area and scout the surroundings to see if it's really suitable for setting up the spirit ground."

"Okay."

With a decision made, Lu Ye immediately took action. Although he had already circled the valley and found nothing unusual, caution was still necessary. After all, some demon beasts naturally excel at concealment, a skill even more formidable than the Path of Concealment practiced by ghost cultivators.

Giant Armor also joined in the scouting.

Worth mentioning, wherever he went, the wolf pack followed, especially the lead wolf, which kept its eyes on Giant Armor as if afraid he would run away.

After less than half a day, Lu Ye had thoroughly scouted the vicinity for about 30 miles and confirmed there were no dangers. Apart from some wild animals, there weren't any other powerful demon beasts around.

Night fell, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

The wolf pack gathered around Giant Armor, their eyes pleading, obviously waiting to cultivate with him.

However, Giant Armor was in no mood for cultivation as he sat next to Lu Ye by the campfire, staring at the sizzling, oily snake meat and swallowing saliva eagerly.

Ever since he had separated from Lu Ye, he had been exposed to the elements when eating and especially in the past two months, he had been in a state of seclusion and had gone a long time without satisfying his hunger.

Amber also sat nearby, devouring raw meat. A large piece of snake meat quickly disappeared into its stomach, and still not satisfied, it trotted over to Lu Ye and nudged him with its big head. Lu Ye then took out another piece of snake meat for it.

Soon, the snake meat was cooked, and Lu Ye and Giant Armor divided and ate it. Despite their vastly different sizes, when it came to eating, there wasn't much difference between them – even the bones were crunched loudly and swallowed whole.
