Chapter 541: Chapter 413: Million Level, Soul Pet Empire
“Cirrrrrrrrrrrrrr~”
The sky was blue, underneath which some residual, weak, black air swirls appeared faintly. These small black air swirls were just chaotic air flows formed, like the remnants of a destroyed house.
The Wind-binding Spirit was flying in this vast blue sky, struggling to find its kin, calling other wind elements with its unique voice, but there was only its own voice echoing under the blue sky…
“Cirrrrrrrrr~ The Wind-binding Spirit didn’t give up. It lingered around the whole blue sky, not missing any place where wind element kin might hide.
The calling sound of the Wind-binding Spirit gradually became sad. It had lingered around the whole blue sky but hadn’t found any kin, nor any intact Wind Nest.
This wind tribe, evidently, had been destroyed!
Pieces of memory drifted into Chu Mu’s mind, causing ripples in his heart.
Chu Mu had always thought that the Wind-binding Spirit had led him to its Wind Tribe in order to help them wipe out their enemies and give peace to the Wind-binding Tribe.
In fact, Chu Mu and the Fox Elder were wrong.
All that was left of this Wind Tribe were the desolation of the Wind-binding Tribe, no interconnected Wind Nests, no wind tribe, only loneliness… The previously excited Wind-binding Spirit was instantly dimmed.
When the Wind-binding Spirit’s memory returned and it stepped back into the Wind-binding Sanctuary again, it couldn’t wait to fly to the Wind Tribe along the ancient Wind Path.
The memory of the Wind-binding Spirit was broken. It remembered how to return to the tribe through the ancient Wind Path and the past beauties of the Wind Tribe that were unforgettable.
But, the Wind-binding Spirit forgot that when it left, the Wind Tribe was no longer there.
Broken memories and the Wind-binding Spirit played a tragic joke.
The deep-rooted memory in the heart of the Wind-binding Spirit was the destruction and disappearance of the entire tribe. The other half of the memory effect dramatically made the Wind-binding Spirit only remember the joy of the past, but buried the most painful memory of the Wind-binding Spirit in a deeper place.
When the Wind-binding Spirit returned to the past tribe with excitement and hot tears, it presented this cruel fact again…
The sadness that came from the soul of the Wind-binding Spirit was indescribable. Chu Mu could empathize with this mood, he could only stand there silently, watching this pitiful Soul Pet.
“A cruel ending…” Fox Elder’s voice came out.
Chu Mu didn’t expect this result. If so, it would be better for the Wind-binding Spirit to live in a fraud expectation by having its memory washed away.
“Wind-binding Spirit, cheer up. Maybe your existence will rebuild a new Wind Tribe.” Chu Mu said in his own language to the Wind-binding Spirit.
Chu Mu didn’t care whether the Wind-binding Spirit could understand or not, patted the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and said, “Night, let’s go. We are not needed here anymore.”
“Hoooooo~” The Night Thunder Dream Beast also reluctantly took one last look at the tragic Wind-binding Spirit, taking steps towards the world beyond the blue sky.
Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast silently left the wind tribe. Behind them, the heart-wrenching cry of the Wind-binding spirit echoed in the Wind Heaven…
…
Chu Mu ultimately did not find the juvenile Wind-binding Spirit, nor did he have the mood to search any longer. However, Chu Mu adjusted his mood quickly. After all, no matter how sad he felt for the Wind-binding Spirit, the Wind Tribe could no longer return to its original state. The only thing to do next was to see whether this mature Wind-binding Spirit could survive in this survival-of-the-fittest wind belt. Could it rebuild a stronger Wind Tribe as he said?
Chu Mu still had his own things to do. He didn’t stay too long over the Wind-binding Spirit. He drove the Night Thunder Dream Beast along the Wind Path for a distance, slowly entering the wind belt and the strong wind zone.
The Wind Soul Pets in the wind belt area had largely been swept by the holy guards, not much challenge for Chu Mu. He could not confirm the strength of the Wind Soul Pets in the strong wind region for the time being so, weighing up, he decided to start from the location of the wind belt and strong wind belt, step by step deep into the wind belt, training his Soul Pets while trying to collect the resources in the Wind-binding Sanctuary and earn that significant amount of money.
“Get ready, we are about to start fighting!”
Chu Mu said to the Soul Pets in his Soul Pet Space.
The Soul Pets were all zealous, waiting for the sacrament of battle!
…
…
During the training process, Chu Mu spent most of his time on the ground. The aerial battle was not very kind to Chu Mu.
In fact, Chu Mu did have Soul Pets that could fly: Night Thunder Dream Beast, White Nightmare Demon, Ice-Feathered Spirit. They all can fight easily in the air. But compared with those Wind Soul Pets that could command wind at will, they seemed to be at a disadvantage.
The initial plan Chu Mu had was to undergo intensive training in the Wind-binding Temple for around three months.
For the first month, Chu Mu spent most of his time wandering in the outer regions of the Windy Zone, close to the Strong Wind Zone. His main objective was to familiarize himself with various types of Wind Element Soul Pets and teach his own Soul Pets how to adapt to the unfavorable conditions and combat various Wind Element Soul Pets.
This time, Chu Mu had brought the Space Ring into the Wind-binding Temple. The guidance provided by Fox Elder was essential to his strength improvement. Therefore, when Chu Mu entered the Wind-binding Temple, Zhuo Nong turned a blind eye to Chu Mu bringing in Fox Elder.
Inside Chu Mu’s Space Ring, there were six Ice attribute spirit items, which were prepared by Ye Qingzi to control Chu Mu’s soul temperature for three months.
Thanks to the stimulation from these Ice attribute spirit items, the Ice-Feathered Spirit had the fastest strength improvement within a month. Not long ago, it had just been promoted from the Eighth Rank, Third Stage to the Eighth Rank, Fifth Stage. It had now reached the Eighth Rank Eighth Stage, and it was expected that the Ice-Feathered Spirit would soon reach the Eighth Rank, Ninth Stage, thus realizing one of Chu Mu’s minor goals.
…
After a month, Chu Mu felt confident that he had become fairly accustomed to the combat style of various Wind Element Soul Pets. So, adhering to his consistent style, he chose to challenge higher ranks and headed to the Strong Wind Zone!
The boundary between the Windy Zone and the Strong Wind Zone was not explicitly marked, but the danger degree of the outer periphery of the Strong Wind Zone could potentially be close to the most dangerous places in the Eighth Grade Mysterious Realm. Plus, all Wind Element Soul Pets received strength enhancements in this wind zone, so they rivaled many Fake Ninth Grade Mysterious Realms. For Chu Mu, this was indeed a challenge.
Surprisingly, when Chu Mu had just stepped into the Strong Wind Zone, he ran into another Soul Pet Master.
Chu Mu had never seen this strong figure before, but there was no doubt that he was a member of the Soul Hall.
When he passed Chu Mu, he took a deliberate look at Chu Mu and greeted him with a friendly smile, saying, “Young man, you are quite courageous, to venture into the outer regions of the Strong Wind Zone at such a young age. If you are lost, I could lead you out on my way.”
“I just got here and I plan to undergo training for a while. From where in the Strong Wind Zone are you returning?” Chu Mu asked.
“From the end, close to the Destructive Wind Zone, I guess.”
“Close to the Destructive Wind Zone? Isn’t that nearly as dangerous as a tenth-rank Mysterious Realm?” Chu Mu asked with some surprise.
The man had a hearty smile on his face. He looked just like a friendly uncle from the countryside, hardly appearing like a Soul Hall strong figure.
“It’s okay. It still lacks a bit when compared to a tenth-rank Mysterious Realm, though the difference isn’t too large. By the way, how long is left before The World Decree?” the Soul Hall Uncle asked, baring a row of yellow teeth.
“Four months’ time.” Chu Mu replied.
“Four months? I see. I was lost for nearly half a year. I’m glad I got what I wanted, or my half a year would have been wasted,” the Soul Hall Uncle murmured.
“Half a year, you’ve been here for half a year?” Chu Mu was astounded. He couldn’t believe that this man had spent such a long time at the end of the Strong Wind Zone in the Wind-binding Temple!
“Each wind zone is a long, long journey. Sometimes you get lost. It took me two months to go from the Windy Zone to a place close to the Destructive Wind Zone and another two months to return…” the Soul Hall Uncle said.
After he finished speaking, the Soul Hall Uncle continued, “Recently, a large number of Furious Wind Demons have appeared in the Wind-binding Temple. It seems that the Furious Wind Demon Empire in the Destructive Wind Zone is trying to expand their territory, launching a Soul Pet war against many other Soul Pet territories. I have to report this to Zhuo Nong so he can close off the Wind-binding Sanctuary…” the Soul Hall Uncle said.
“The Wind-binding Temple was closed for cleanup once two months ago and it took a month,” Chu Mu replied.
“Oh, it has been cleaned. Good, good,” nodded the Soul Hall Uncle.
“What did you mean by Furious Wind Demon Empire? Do Soul Pets have something called an Empire?” Chu Mu asked curiously.
The Soul Hall Uncle chuckled before explaining, “We humans use the term ‘Empire’ to describe gigantic Soul Pet groups that have countless same-race Soul Pets under their control. These Soul Pet Empires are usually controlled by one or several Tenth Rank Emperor-level Soul Pets. They comprise of hundreds and thousands of Monarch Territories, countless Commander Territories… That is to say, a Soul Pet Group with a population in a million range, and a complete system of Emperors, Monarchs, Commanders, War Generals, and Servants, is referred to as a Soul Pet ‘Empire’.”
This explanation left Chu Mu astounded. The concept of an ‘Empire’ was something he heard for the first time.
A Soul Pet group in the millions, what a shocking concept!!
“Young Master, haven’t you personally experienced an Empire invading your territory before?” The voice of the Fox Elder came.
“Did I?” Chu Mu asked.
“Wogu City, Zhehuang, the Multi-winged Sky Demon Worms, these are examples of ‘Empires’.”
When the Fox Elder explained this, Chu Mu came to a sudden realization.
Indeed, the Sky Demon Worms formed a complete imperial establishment with their Emperors, Monarchs, Commanders, War Generals, and Servants!
“From my perspective, the destruction of the Wind-binding Spirit tribe is likely correlated to the invasion of the Furious Wind Demon Empire. If you still have a soul connection with the Wind-binding Spirit, maybe you should go check on it. Perhaps there might still be a chance for your soul contract with it,” the Fox Elder continued.
