Chapter 778 -773: Forbidden Alchemy
With the escort of the army, they have not been harassed by ferocious beasts along the way, greatly enhancing the confidence of the townsfolk in the army.
“Bai Qi, what exactly did you see earlier?”
Bai Qiucha glanced at the soldiers around them and quietly asked Bai Qi.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi remained silent, but seeing the similarly curious Zhuge Chen, he contacted Jerry and sent the images he had seen directly into their minds.
“Is this…is this the soul of a human? And are those beast soul warriors?”
Zhuge Chen looked shocked, almost startling the surrounding soldiers, while Bai Qiucha quickly figured out the secret.
“There are no beast soul warriors in this era, are those beasts actually disguised as humans?”
“No, their bodies are indeed real ferocious beasts. It is only their souls that are human.”
Bai Qi shook his head, pointed to the soldiers ahead, and said, “Don’t forget, what is unique to this era…”
“Unique to this era…”
Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen looked at each other, coming to a realization at the same time.
“Alchemy!”
Both of them suddenly remembered the rumors about the Dark Emperor, and their expressions turned grim.
They had originally thought that this kind of taboo alchemy was only a rumor, but it turned out to be true!
The three of them fell silent, slowly following the main force forward.
Finally, after marching for more than half a day, the troops finally came to a halt.
However, what stood before them was not a large town as anticipated, but a concealed entrance to a mountain cave.
“We are still a great distance away from our destination, so we will rest here for a few days. When our main force arrives, we will set out together!”
“We have hot bread, roast meat, and comfortable beds. You can rest well!”
A soldier at the front loudly announced the current situation, and the townspeople, without a doubt, orderly walked into the cave.
“Bai Qi, is there something wrong with this cave?”
Bai Qiucha looked at the cave warily and said.
“It feels like a pyramid scheme. Definitely.”
Bai Qi nodded and said, “Let’s go in, see what they’re up to.”
“Sure.”
The two nodded in agreement, following the other townspeople into the cave.
Contrary to their expectations, the interior of the cave was much better constructed.
After passing through a narrow corridor, the path became more spacious with different paths intersecting and leading to various places.
“This place…it doesn’t look like a temporary resting place at all.”
Gazing at the neatly paved stone bricks beneath their feet, Bai Qi sneered involuntarily, and Bai Qiucha also sensed something amiss.
“There’s a heavy aura of death here. Quite a few people must have died.”
The soul flame flashed in Bai Qiucha’s eyes, and he said.
“And, this place looks familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere.”
“As expected. Without a doubt, these people will soon reveal their true intentions.”
Bai Qi pulled his cloak over his eyes, but both Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha detected a murderous intent.
In an era where countless humans were struggling for survival, some people still have the heart to harm their own kind. This stepped on the trigger points of the three men.

Indeed, as soon as they entered the underground palace, there were special soldiers leading the group of townspeople to have a good meal, then proceeded to take them to wash up. Once everything was ready, they were led to a vast square.
The square was elaborately decorated, the ground and even the surrounding walls were engraved with peculiar patterns, as though it was a sacrificial altar.
After everyone entered the square, the walls around it shone brightly, followed by series of images appearing on them.
In the images, scenes of humans being slaughtered by ferocious beasts flashed, chillingly echoing into the consciousness of the onlookers.
These scenes were shown from very tricky angles, depicting the agony experienced by humans as they were killed by beasts. Even without sound, these images had a profound impact on the townspeople.
There was no other reason, many among them had experienced similar incidents, having barely escaped to settle in the small town.
If it were not for the passing of the Dynastic Army, the scenes in those images would have been their fate.
After an unknown period of time, the images on the walls gradually faded, but the townspeople still immersed themselves in sorrow and fear.
Just then, a figure slowly descended from the sky, gently trailing a faint white light, that attracted everyone’s attention.
“Are you afraid? Afraid of meeting the same fate as them, dying at the jaws of the beasts?”
“Do you feel powerless? Witnessing the death of your loved ones right before your eyes, helpless to do anything?”
“Are you angry? Those with the power to live comfortably in magnificent houses, while you must live each day in fear?”
“The root cause is very simple; you have not mastered the power!”
The man wore white clothes, his voice was magnetic, as if it contained a magical power. As soon he opened his mouth, he evoked everyone’s emotions.
By the time he said his final sentence, the resentment in their eyes was about to leap out.
Howl! Howl!
(Humans, I sense a ripple of spiritual skills!)
“Noticed it, and it feels quite familiar.”
Bai Qi nodded, adopting an angry look, mimicking the others around him.
Seeing that his words had an effect, the man in white was quite pleased, opening his arms, and a dazzling Holy Light emerged from behind him, shining onto the crowd.
“So warm …”
The commoners bathed in the Holy Light instantly felt a warmth throughout their bodies, their previously agitated moods gradually calmed down, and their fatigue was instantly swept away.
“I know you all are ordinary people without the Beast Mastery Talent, but that’s alright. As long as you believe in the Holy Light, you can also attain extraordinary powers!”
Saying this, he beckoned, and a thin man in a hemp cloth suit flew from a distance, swaying to land in front of the man in white.
“He’s just like you. He also lost his home to Ferocious Beasts and his family died at the mouth of those beasts. But between the sorrow of helplessness and the desire for revenge, he chose revenge.”
The man in white paused, then suddenly declared loudly, “And my Lord, He gave him this chance!”
As soon as the words fell, the thin man suddenly howled to the sky, his emaciated body suddenly swelled, turning into a muscular hunk over two meters high.
Just as the town’s residents were immersed in the transformation of the muscular hunk, a massive black bear suddenly rushed out from another tunnel and charged straight at the crowd.
The sudden appearance of the black bear scared everyone, but the man in white made no move, merely glancing at the man beside him.
Interpreting his glance, the man immediately jumped into action, reaching the black bear in an instant; the black bear also stood upright, waving its paws at the man.
Seeing this, the man did not dodge, extending his hands to catch the massive paws of the black bear.
Not only that, after catching the black bear, he pulled it towards himself, using a beautiful shoulder throw to slam the bear to the ground.
Boom!!!
The massive explosion echoed through the entire square. Everyone was immersed in the massive strength of the man, and when they saw him tear the black bear barehandedly, they showed excitement instead of fear.
Could they really acquire such mighty power?
“Bai Qi, that person is a fusion type of talent, right?”
Zhuge Chen immediately asked in a hushed voice once he saw this. Although this action appeared astonishing, it was entirely standard for a Beast Master with a fusion type of talent.
This deception could only work in the ancient times when Beast Masters were scarce, and information was lacking.
Moreover, he would rather believe this than what historical records suggested.
“No, he isn’t a Beast Master. He’s truly just an ordinary man.”
Light flashed in Bai Qi’s eyes as he watched the man’s fluctuating soul, mercilessly bursting Zhuge Chen’s bubble.
“So … it really is a product of alchemy…”
Zhuge Chen let out a sigh of helplessness, while the sudden light array in front of the man in white confirmed their suspicions.
“These fools, do they really dare to use humans in their alchemy?”
Bai Qiucha’s eyes gradually turned cold. Looking at the common people who were starting to get tempted under the coaxing of the man in white, her fingers began to move unconsciously.
“If they didn’t dare, where would those beasts we saw earlier come from?”
Bai Qi scoffed. Human souls, the bodies of beasts, plus everything right in front of them all pointed to the stark reality.
These people were performing alchemy on both humans and beasts to control the extraordinary power that humans had never mastered before.
But there seemed to be some issues with this alchemy. Judging by the state of the beasts encountered earlier, they lost their sanity after the alchemy process and fully turned into beasts!
This kind of alchemy was listed as a taboo by historians in every era!
“Don’t these people’s consciences hurt?”
Zhuge Chen gritted his teeth, the look in his eyes towards these people was no different from his look towards the Death Round Table cult.
“Conscience? If they had one, would infighting among humans ever occur?”
A mocking smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face. Seeing a commoner walk into the Alchemy Array under the guidance of the man in white, he suddenly stood up.
“My fellow citizen, I understand your feelings, but please queue.”
Seeing Bai Qi walking towards him, a warm smile appeared on the man in white’s face. He tried to calm Bai Qi down, but he understood when he saw the unmistakable killing intent in Bai Qi’s eyes.
“Do you plan to disrupt the Lord’s blessing ceremony? Are you a heretic from the tribes?”
The man in white adeptly labeled Bai Qi a tribal dog, causing astonishment and fear among the surrounding commoners. They quickly distanced themselves from Bai Qi.
Seeing his words had an effect, the man in white’s mouth curled slightly. He beckoned, summoning a Holy Light Spear into his hand.
“Since you’re so hell-bent on coming here, let the Lord judge you!”
After saying this, the man in white threw the Holy Light Spear towards Bai Qi with all his strength.
“Really… what an annoying color… ”
Watching the Holy Light Spear getting closer and closer to him, Bai Qi slowly took out the Wildwood Mask and put it on. He extended his right arm to block, and the Holy Light Spear was absorbed by the Wildwood Shield, turning into a white gem.
“You just said you received the Lord’s blessing? You surely won’t be harmed by the Lord’s power then?”
Looking at the flabbergasted man in white, Bai Qi patted the Wildwood Shield. The white gem instantly flew off the shield, instantly arriving in front of the man in white.
Boom!!!
