The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Just as Ye Ling was basking in the glory of having devised such an awesome survival rule for herself...

Inside the temple, a man held a white chess piece, preparing to make his move. He wore an ancient-looking robe and a ceremonial crown. His silhouette resembled a majestic mountain peak, and the magical artifacts he wore emitted a faint golden light, making him appear even more sacred. Even from behind, he exuded an aura of oppression, clearly indicating that this man was unfathomable.

At this moment, his slender fingers placed the chess piece on the chessboard. His face seemed to be hidden, making it difficult to see clearly, but just by looking at his outline, one could tell that he must be very handsome.

"It's finally here. It's quite interesting. Since we know that cause and effect are beyond our control, we should also know that once the game is started, there's no going back. We can only move forward, not backward."

"In the end, they are all just puppets, so what is there to fear?"

The man's deep voice rang out.

Hearing his mutterings, the mystery seemed to grow even larger. A puppet? Who? The male and female protagonists? Ye Ling? Or all of them?

Only that man probably knows all of this.

Ye Lingfei had been flying for a long time and felt something was strange. At first, he encountered many spirit beasts, but just an hour ago, he hadn't encountered a single one.

Ye Ling also felt something was wrong and muttered to herself.

"Strange, why is it so quiet? Along the way, we encountered some low-level spirit beasts at the beginning, but we haven't encountered any spirit beasts since. Could there be high-level spirit beasts around here?"

It's almost impossible for such a trial realm for sects below the Golden Core stage to contain demonic beasts. Excluding that possibility, it can only contain high-level spirit beasts or spirit treasures, and specifically, very high-grade magic treasures.

But if it's the territory of high-level spirit beasts, how could there not even be low-level spirit beasts? As for spirit treasures, don't even think about it. Countless predecessors have entered before them, and they've already been robbed countless times.

Ye Ling thought about it again and again and still felt strange. She recalled the novel and remembered that there was no such place in the novel. Maybe the male and female protagonists had never been to this place.

"How strange! Never mind, I still have to be careful, especially for a lowly Karami like me who is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

As Ye Lin flew, he carefully observed his surroundings.

The beasts in this realm of the heavens can be divided into spirit beasts, demon beasts, ferocious beasts, sacred beasts, and divine beasts.

Among them, spirit beasts are the most common. Some female cultivators also like cute spirit beasts as pets. There are ten ranks of spirit beasts, but cultivators prefer to divide them into low-rank spirit beasts and high-rank spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts of ranks one through eight are considered low-ranking. Spirit beasts of rank eight and above have begun to develop intelligence and can speak human language; they are considered high-ranking spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts generally cannot transform into human form, but demon beasts can. Demon beasts usually have innate racial inheritance and bloodline talents. The stronger the race, the higher the bloodline talent, the faster the cultivation speed, and the higher the cultivation level. However, they usually do not like to transform into human form and still maintain their huge demon bodies. Moreover, demon beasts usually live in the demon realm and are under the jurisdiction of the demon race.

Ferocious beasts are quite powerful, usually born with innate inheritances, but they also have a warlike gene in their bloodline, enjoying killing and fighting. Some ferocious beasts with strong bloodline talents can even go out of control, becoming nothing more than killing machines. Therefore, no race likes ferocious beasts and no one wants to provoke them.

Sacred beasts are second only to divine beasts, similar to spirit beasts, but possess innate inheritance and powerful bloodline talents.

Mythical beasts go without saying; they are the most powerful beings, basically crushing everything in their path. Almost any beast would be suppressed by their bloodline and lose the power to resist.

In short, the most common creatures in the Realm of the Azure Sky are spirit beasts, as well as some demon beasts. Sacred beasts and ferocious beasts exist in the Realm of Mountains and Seas and are very rare in the Realm of the Azure Sky. Divine beasts exist only in legends. They appeared in the world a thousand years ago, and nowadays, we can only know some information about them from ancient fragments.

Ye Ling still felt that it was related to a high-level spirit beast or a secret treasure that had been sealed and weakened for some unknown reason and was about to appear in the world. She searched through her memories and found information about beasts, but she felt that the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it and waited to see what would happen.

"Whichever of my guesses is proven true, it will be quite disadvantageous to me."

Because of his low cultivation level, Ye Ling had given away many of the things that could save his life. Although he still had some, it wasn't much, and he knew nothing about the things he was facing.

Taking everything into consideration, Ye Ling felt the risk was too high. Compared to the treasures and opportunities inside, her life was more important, so Ye Ling made a decision immediately.

"It's still too dangerous here, we need to leave quickly."

Ye Ling then sped up.

After flying for about two hours, Ye Ling felt like she was going around in circles and couldn't get out. She made a mark so that no matter which direction she flew from, she would eventually return to the same spot.

"What's going on? Why can't we fly out? Is it some kind of formation?"

Ye Ling was exhausted after a long day, so she jumped off her flying sword, looked at the marked spot, frowned, and said in a heavy voice.

At this moment, Ye Ling was inwardly cursing her past self for not learning anything about formations, and for this damned fate playing tricks on her every day. She didn't want to meet the male and female leads, but she also didn't want to die!

Complaints aside, the problem still needs to be solved.

Ye Ling looked left and right, up and down, front and back, but still couldn't figure it out.

"No, it's getting dark. When it gets dark, many things will come out. Nighttime is the most dangerous time, especially since I'm all alone. I need to find a safe place."

Ye Ling said worriedly, her face full of sorrow.

Ye Ling then flew away on her sword. She remembered that she had just seen a cave on the cliff, and there didn't seem to be any spirit beasts living inside. She could take a rest there.

A moment later, Ye Ling flew to the cave in the stone wall. If one did not observe carefully, one would not have noticed that there was a cave under these vines.

Ye Ling parted the vines that were wrapped around her, making a hole big enough for her to go in.

Once inside, the cave was very dark. Ye Ling took out a luminous pearl from her storage bag and carefully looked around.

This luminous pearl was given to her by Master Wuwang. Although she had lost her memory when she first arrived at the Floating Light Sect, she had always had a good life since childhood, and her room was almost always lit by a luminous pearl at night.

This made her very uncomfortable in the Floating Light Sect. She was very scared at night, so she pestered Master Wuwang to sleep with her and wouldn't let him extinguish all the candles.

But Ye Ling would eventually grow up, and he couldn't stay with her forever, so he found some luminous pearls in the boundless sea for her.
