Chapter 174 - Beast Storage Treasure
Lin Mu was eagerly waiting for senior Xukong’s answer, but it still didn’t come. He wondered why he had suddenly gone silent and was getting uneasy.
"Senior?" Lin Mu called out.
"Senior Xukong?" He called out again.
"Senior..."
Just as he was about to call him for the third time, senior Xukong finally spoke again.
"It should be fine now," Xukong spoke.
"Huh? What should be fine now?" Lin Mu questioned.
"I just had to check the world’s restrictions before I could speak further. It would do no good if you were not able to hear or understand it even if I said it." Xukong answered.
"So what does the serpent tail denote?" Lin Mu questioned, having understood Xukong’s rationale.
"The serpent tail denotes that the beast storage treasure can store beasts that are above the Immortal ascension realm." Xukong finally revealed.
"Yes, that is quite likely. But the thing is, we don’t know if it’s one beasts or more." Xukong replied.
"More beasts?" Lin Mu wondered.
"Yes, a beast storage treasure can store more than one beast depending on its grade and the cultivator’s strength. It can either store a single beast at the very peak of its maximum capacity, which would be dependent on the cultivation base of the cultivator.
A cultivator can only tame and store beasts of a cultivation base that is equal to or less than theirs. This means that, for example, a cultivated at the Immortal Ascension realm can store one beast that is at the same stage as him in a beast storage treasure that has a tiger claw marking on it.
If he were to store a beast of, say, one realm lower than him that is at the Dao treading realm, he would be able to store two such beasts of the Dao treading realm. For the Dao shell realm, it would be four beasts and so on and so forth.
This number only doubles as the realms go lower." Xukong fully explained.
Lin Mu was absolutely astounded by this information and had another realization.
’The beast storage treasure has three markings, with the highest one being that of the serpent tail. Then this means... No!’ Lin Mu Inferred.
"Senior, then isn’t it possible that there are more than one beast of high cultivations reaming around?" Lin Mu questioned with a slightly fearful tone.
"No, luckily it’s not the case this time, don’t worry. If there were more than one spirit beasts of even Dao Shell realm stored in the treasure and were then released by it, then there would have been a massive commotion. The strength of such beasts would have been too much for a world such as this.
Another thing we need to factor in is the strength of the cultivator itself. If if the cultivator did have a beast storage treasure with three markings, if he did not have a high enough cultivation base of himself, he would not be able to tame and store stronger beasts.
Besides, I already have an idea of what beast was stored in the beast storage treasure." Xukong answered in a calm tone.
"Huh, what beast is it?"
