Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 528 Light Sanctuary (6)

After Lin Fan put away the throne, he turned to look at Brainy who had been controlling his puppets the entire time.

Brainy had used its puppets to go through the castle according to the routes of the winged man and soon it was able to find the rooms that the winged man had described. However when its puppets arrived, they relayed back a scene that wasn't what Lin Fan wanted to see.

The first puppets had arrived at two different rooms, but the scene inside both of these rooms were the same.

The door had been knocked down and it was a scene of a chaotic battle inside. There were also wisps that were wandering around, gathering around what seemed to be a pile of white bones in the center.

Based on the white bones, it was clear that the descendants that the winged man had mentioned were already dead and it had been the wisps that had destroyed them.

How ironic that was.

The winged man had put up these barriers to protect his family, but in the end, it was the wisps that had been created from his laws that had destroyed them.

Based on the decay on the bones, it was clear that this had happened quite a long time ago.

According to the story that the winged man had told Lin Fan, this realm had fallen over fifty thousand years ago, which also gave Lin Fan a clue into the cultivation realms of his descendants.

,m At the very least, it told him that his descendants at least weren't in the Soul Realm.

Experts in the Soul Realm only had a lifespan of ten thousand years and that was only at the very peak of the Soul Realm. When experts just broke through to the Fragmented Soul Realm, their lifespan would only be increased to a thousand years.

For the winged man to have hope that his descendants were alive, it meant that they had to be in the realm above the Soul Realm. However, since this was a top grade cultivation realm that was even ruled over by a ruler, it shouldn't be surprising if they had this kind of cultivation.

However, in the end, there had been too many wisps since they were naturally formed by the residual laws that the ruler left in the realm. Eventually they had been overwhelmed and this was the scene that was left after they were finished.

Based on the analysis that Brainy did through the puppet, it could tell that it would have taken at least more than ten thousand years for these bones to have reached this level of decay. It seemed like the winged man's hopes had been dashed a long time ago.

Still, that was only the first two of five different places that Lin Fan had to check. There was still a chance that the other three locations were still safe.

After waiting a bit, Brainy told Lin Fan that its puppets had reached two more locations, but there wasn't good news this time either. When the puppets had arrived, they had found the same scene as the previous two rooms.

The doors had been knocked down and there was a pile of bones that was in the center. The only difference here was with the decay of the bones. These bones seemed like they hadn't been exposed to the elements as long as the other bones, which must have meant that they were able to hold out a bit longer compared to the rest.

Still, they had fallen to the hordes of wisps that wandered the halls of this castle.

Lin Fan couldn't help wondering how the winged man would have felt if he knew that the wisps that he created had caused the death of all his descendants.

Well, not all his descendants because there was still one room left for Lin Fan to check, even though he didn't have much hope left for it.

This one was much further out compared to the other rooms, but Brainy's puppet made it there in the end.

Lin Fan was anxious as he waited for the result from Brainy.

When Brainy connected its mind to the puppet, it gave a surprised "oh" sound.

Lin Fan heard this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Brainy didn't answer at first as it was concentrated on controlling the puppet, but after a minute, Brainy said, "The barrier is still up around this room, but it seems like there's a secondary barrier around this room that's blocking my puppet from entering. Perhaps there might really still be someone left alive in this realm."

Lin Fan was also surprised since it had clearly been fifty thousand years since the destruction of this realm had happened. Anyone weak would have already died, but there was someone who had been able to hold on for this long. Unless they broke through to the same realm as the ruler, it was unlikely they would have survived this long.

If there was someone who was in that realm here, Lin Fan really wanted to take him as an employee.

But the first thing that he had to do was get to that person first.

So without wasting another moment, Lin Fan left this throne room since there was nothing else of value here and went on his way to that room. Along the way, he also made sure to fight a few wisps to improve his own strength and the strength of the two pets that he had brought with him.

The wisps actually became a bit easier to fight since the two pets had broken through, but the main reason why they became easier was because of the laws that Lin Fan had absorbed.

To his surprise, he had found that this light law was compatible with him, so he had been absorbing the light laws that the wisps had been throwing at him. With how powerful these wisps were, he was able to easily condense a statue inside of his dantian which allowed him to use this light law.

With him grasping this light law, it also increased his resistance to this light law which allowed him to charge right at the weaker wisps.

After several battles, Lin Fan finally made his way to the room with the barrier still around it.

There were quite a few wisps that were gathered in this area, so that meant that the hallway was completely filled up. There was no way for Lin Fan to run right through these wisp and enter the barrier.

Since that was the case, the only thing that he could do was draw them away one by one and kill them all until he had cleared a decent path to the room.

After having this idea, Lin Fan looked at the two pets who had been following him and then he picked them up before throwing them out while saying, "Make yourselves useful, draw a few of them away from the pack."

The two pets had tearful looks on their faces, but they still obeyed Lin Fan.

After being with him for this long, there was already an innate fear of Lin Fan that had been beaten into them.

It took them around thirty minutes to finally clear out a path to the room and during this time, both of the two pets made another breakthrough.

While they had been pulling away the wisps one by one, they had found that the wisps had the absolute advantage compared to them when it came to speed. Unless they could increase their own speed, their fate was to die again and again.

So that was what they did in the end.

The quickest way to do so was to break through, so with the pressure brought on by the wisps chasing them, the pets had been forced to break out of their shells and break through to the High Embryo Soul Realm.

Still, that wasn't enough for them to match the wisps in speed and they had been forced to work out several skills that increased their speed to work with this breakthrough. Eventually, they learned enough skills to match the wisps in speed and were able to lead them over without dying.

But before they had been able to do that, they had died quite a few times already.

Even after breaking through though, they didn't dare to attack Lin Fan again because they had already learned their lesson last time. Not to mention that Lin Fan was the only one among them that could kill the wisps still, which meant that he was still clearly stronger than them.

With the path cleared out, Lin Fan was able to easily make his way to the door. Once he stepped over the invisible boundary around the door, the wisps completely ignored him just like before.

Lin Fan also ignored him as he started looking over the door.

There wasn't anything off about this door, but Lin Fan could sense a powerful aura coming from it. It was clear that there was some kind of array that was placed on the door that kept people out.

When Lin Fan looked down, he could see that there was dried blood that was at the sill of the door. Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows.

This blood, it probably meant that behind this door, there was a…

After having this thought, Lin Fan felt a bit uneasy so he reached out for the handle.

The moment that his hand touched the handle, there was a flash of light and then nothing else.

Lin Fan was confused by this, but when he turned the handle, the door easily opened for him.
