Chapter 1152: Chapter 543: Beast’ear Mountain (Part 2)_2

There is an ancient legend about the origin of this mountain: In the age of a hundred clans contending for supremacy, a Mysterious Divine Beast, known for its peaceful nature, hid here to escape the fighting. It would summon all kinds of beasts daily and teach them how to cultivate themselves.

Later, some humans disguised themselves as wild beasts and also came to listen to the lectures. With so many creatures, listeners at the feet of the Mysterious Divine Beast were crowded together, their disguises merely a pair of animal ears worn on their heads. When they crouched among the animals, only their ears were visible—they thought they had deceived the divine beast, but they didn’t know that the Mysterious Divine Beast was simply kind-hearted and didn’t expose them.

Moreover, the Mysterious Divine Beast had a fondness for eager learners, so if these people were willing to learn, the divine beast was also willing to teach.

After these people had successfully cultivated themselves, however, they acted recklessly and oppressed their own tribesmen! They even wanted to capture the beasts they had heard lectures with and sell them!

This angered the Mysterious Divine Beast, and the next time these people came to listen to a lecture, it cast a spell that turned them into stone statues and then left with the other creatures.

As years went by, the stone carvings eroded until only a pair of "ears" remained, forming the present-day Beast’ear Mountain.

Although many folk tales in the Eight Desolations World are nothing more than the painstaking creations of ordinary people, some genuinely have real origins. So, when Owen Bertram saw the peculiar Beast’ear Mountain, he couldn’t help but wonder if the legend was true? Did the Mysterious Divine Beast once establish a sanctuary here? That might be why the Divine Lord chose this place.

Or, even further, could the Divine Lord be the Mysterious Divine Beast from back then?

The Old Man had already entered the mountain with the True Spirit Totem. The command left by the Divine Servant Lord was only to bring the True Spirit Totem to Beast’ear Mountain, without any further instructions. Still, the Old Man firmly believed that as long as he carried out the orders of the Divine Servant Lord, he didn’t need to think about the rest.

Sure enough, he had only traveled seven or eight miles into the mountain when a burst of magnificent music suddenly resounded through a valley. Rows of huge fire basins ignited automatically, neatly arranging themselves on both sides, illuminating the entire valley.

Two rows of witches and witch men dressed in dark red robes filed out neatly in a single line and swiftly approached the Old Man. They praised him and then knelt down and bowed.

The Old Man knew that this wasn’t for him. He took out the True Spirit Totem and lifted it high above his head.

Three witches even more powerful than the highest witches of Moon City stepped out of the valley. They had no obvious gender characteristics, but each emanated a powerful aura. They walked up to the Old Man with great reverence and reached out to take the True Spirit Totem, saying, "Old man, you have worked hard."

The Old Man was overjoyed: "It’s not hard work. It’s an honor to serve the Divine Lord to the death!"

"The Divine Lord will fulfill any wish you have!"

"I’d like..." The Old Man blurted out his wish but was stopped by the three witches: "You can tell the Divine Lord your wish in person."

A spirit seed puppet mosquito flew several dozen feet in the air, taking in everything below and transmitting sights and sounds to Owen Bertram.

Owen Bertram frowned but was not excited by the witches’ last words⁠—it seemed to confirm that the Divine Lord was indeed within Beast’ear Mountain. However, Owen Bertram sensed that this sentence was a bit too "gilding the lily."

Owen Bertram took the golden box out of his sleeve: "Is the Divine Lord near or far from us?"

Berry said excitedly as soon as he came out: "The Divine Lord is very close to us. My perception of Its presence is very strong here."

Owen Bertram was surprised: was his judgment wrong? Thinking back to discovering the True Spirit Totem until now, it seemed that there were no flaws. If the Divine Lord really was in this mountain it would be logical.

However, Owen Bertram still didn’t dare to underestimate the situation. Any event involving ancient beings needed to be approached cautiously. As a result, Owen Bertram chose to contact two powerful beings using different methods.

Owen Bertram first sent a talisman message to Master Lane, instead of using a Communication Talisman for direct contact, creating a sense of urgency and self-sacrifice!

"Master Lane, I found the Divine Lord in Beast’ear Mountain. There’s no time to talk, I’m going in. If you come too late, I just want you to know: I don’t blame you!"

Abner Lane hadn’t slept yet and was assisting Lord Dunn with official business by lamplight. Suddenly, he received such an unclear talisman message and felt something was off, but he didn’t dare gamble on whether Owen Bertram was merely playing a prank. After explaining himself to Master Dunn, he took to the sky and traveled by sword light toward Rex County!

As for the other powerful being... Owen Bertram calmly contacted Ethereal Devin: "Where is Santa?" After Ethereal Devin asked, Owen Bertram used an uncertain tone and said, "Predecessor, I seem to have discovered a clue to the Four Extremes of the Eastern Land..."

Santa snorted: "Are you trying to deceive Old Husband again?"

Owen Bertram immediately cut off the communication and looked at the Communication Talisman in his hand, silently counting inwardly. After about five counts, Santa called back: "What the hell do you mean?" Santa was very annoyed, but Owen Bertram remained calm: "Although the Predecessor is doubting me for no reason, I don’t think I should get involved in this matter. I did find some clues, but I can’t be sure that they are related to the Four Extremes of the Eastern Land, so I can only say they are suspicious. If I cause Predecessor to make a fruitless trip, I’ll be the one to blame. So, let’s just pretend I never mentioned it. I’m sorry to have disturbed your rest, Predecessor. Goodbye!"
