Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 395 Who designed this brain-dead thing? What's the difference between this and Athena's adventures through the twelve palaces?
"We found this little Xingtian in another secret realm."

"They are extremely loyal to their contractors and don't eat or drink, making them perfect for guarding the inner treasury."

Du Shukuai waved to the two little Xingtians, and they walked to the gate of the inner treasury and inserted their hands into the stone holes in the gate.

They twisted the mechanism on the stone hole with all their might, and with a click, the door to the inner vault began to rattle.

Before long, a stone wall covered with scars was revealed.

There was also a huge eye on the stone wall, staring intently at Du Shukui and Ye Bai.

More and more faces emerged from the stone wall.

The sound of weeping emerged from the stone wall, and black tears immediately flowed down.

Hearing the crying, Ye Bai felt dizzy.

However, the icy sensation emanating from Ye Bai's heart quickly brought him back to his senses.

The sound seemed to have a dizzying magic.

Ye Bai looked at the wall that was flowing with black tears.

There is a great deal of resentment above.

The entire wall had turned bluish-purple, and it appeared that there were bones embedded in it.

"This is the Wailing Wall?"

【Name: Ghost Wailing Wall】

[Gender: no gender]

【Attribute: Earth/Ghost】

[Characteristics: None]

[Level: Tier 6, Level 5]

【Skill Mastered: Weeping Necromancer (Proficient): The necromancer hidden in the Ghost Crying Wall emits a whimpering sound. Everyone who hears the sound must undergo a mental sanity test. Prey with mental strength below level six will be subject to a lethal attack. If the test is passed, a lethal attack will be launched.

Skeleton Entanglement (Mastery): Gnarled skeletons extend from the wall; these skeletons are prey killed by the Ghostly Wailing Wall.

Ghostly Cry Curse (Mastery): The Ghostly Cry Wall inflicts a weakening curse on the opponent, diminishing their five senses and inducing fear.

Stone Shield (Mastery): Summons a stone wall to protect yourself.

Ghostly Tears (Mastery): The black tears seeping into the wall possess a lethal dose of toxicity; even a tiny amount is enough to poison a deep-sea narwhal.

[Evolutionary path: None]

[Evaluation: A strange beast resembling a sacrificial spirit; it cannot die, it never will, but it brings resentment and curses. It is somewhat of a product of a set of rules.]

"This Ghost Wailing Wall is our first line of defense."

Suddenly, Du Shukui's fingers stretched and elongated, turning into a black hand covered in sharp claws, which he rhythmically tapped against the wall a few times.

Not long after, as the crying gradually subsided, the wall disappeared, revealing a wide road.

The walls were covered with a large number of torches.

The dark blue torch was stuck upside down in the ground.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted through the air.

"This fragrance is the second line of defense, isn't it?"

Ye Bai asked Du Shukui.

"Yes, anyone with malicious intent, once they smell the fragrance, will never escape the labyrinth and will become a prisoner of desire."

Du Shukui led Ye Bai forward, and they eventually arrived at a place covered with skulls.

A giant skull with horns appeared in front of Ye Bai.

"This is the head of the Space Demon. The inner treasury is inside its head. This is an alternate dimension."

"This is the key to enter the head of the spatial demon."

"As long as you have the key and shout 'Teleport,' you can be teleported into the inner vault."

After Ye Bai did as instructed, he arrived at a magnificent and resplendent place.

Inside the treasure vault, everything was resplendent with gold and jade.

The gems inlaid on the white bone wall shone brightly, like stars in the night sky.

Various treasures are displayed in a pleasingly irregular manner on a mahogany carved shelf, each exuding a sense of history and vicissitude.

A huge floor-length bronze mirror hangs in the center of the hall.

In the corner, there were bundles of ice-blue stones, exuding a slight chill. Those were freezing stones, which could provide energy for ice-type pets.

Several ancient jade vases stood silently on the table, the flowers inside seemingly frozen in time, still vibrant and beautiful. Those were the Death God Flowers, a very unique type of flower.

It can keep a deceased pet or human in the state they were in before death, maintaining their best condition.

The air was filled with a faint scent of fragrant wood, which was refreshing and contrasted sharply with the fragrance of flowers outside the warehouse.

The jade throne in the center of the treasure vault was covered with brocade and animal hides, making it both luxurious and comfortable.

Beside the throne, a huge crystal chandelier hangs down, its soft and mysterious light adding to the enigmatic atmosphere of this world of treasures.

The vault was quiet, except for the faint sounds emanating from the treasures themselves and the clicking sounds from the mechanical guards.

Their eyes were filled with vigilance, radiating infrared light, and they remained highly wary of any creature that approached the treasure vault.

Suddenly, a soft footstep broke the silence of the treasure vault.

The guards immediately raised their machine guns, ready to deal with any uninvited guests.

Ye Bai placed the scepter on the ground and tapped it gently.

The mechanical guards stood stiffly on the ground, motionless.

This scepter is the control center of the entire inner treasury.

Ye Bai seemed to have a god-like perspective, surveying the treasures of the entire inner treasury.

Du Shukui said that Ye Bai could choose three treasures, and Ye Bai used the Eye of Truth to check the treasures in the inner treasury.

Candle Dragon Stone, Tranquil Flower, Devil's Horn, etc.

An hourglass appeared above the scepter, counting down and telling Ye Bai that time was running out.

Once the sand in the hourglass runs out, Ye Bai will probably be teleported out of the inner treasury.

It would probably be quite troublesome to come back in.

Ye Bai originally chose the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, the Divine Stone, and the Demon Horn.

But suddenly a throbbing sensation arose in his heart, a feeling akin to encountering a person with a discerning and insightful mind.

Ye Bai couldn't help but walk to a certain place, where he looked at the ancient jade covered in dust and looking grayish.

This is very similar to the ancient jade he wore before, radiating a jade-like luster.

Each piece of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Jade has a different effect.

I just don't know what the purpose of this exquisite jade with seven orifices is.

Ye Bai held the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Jade in his palm, then waved his scepter, took the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and the Divine Stone, and left.

Du Shukuai was already waiting in the laboratory.

Ye Bai was then teleported here.

"Lord Kui Mulang, you have already made your choice, haven't you?"

"Marshal Qilin just sent an order for you to enter the Hall of Destiny as soon as possible to receive the formal inheritance of Kui Mulang."

"Please use your token immediately to enter the Hall of Fortune."

Du Shukuai waved his hand, and the scepter vanished instantly.

"Director Du, aren't you going to check the treasures I've chosen?"

Ye Bai asked Du Shukui.

"No need to look. If you choose more than three treasures, the scepter won't teleport you here at all. You'll be teleported directly to the outside of the underground laboratory."

"You should hurry up and go to the Hall of Fortune."

"Ji Shuibao has been urging me more than ten times. I'm really overwhelmed right now."

Du Shukuai was clearly being pressured to the limit.

"Alright, I'll teleport to the Hall of Fortune now."

Ye Bai took out the black iron token and poured his spiritual power into it, causing the surroundings to spin rapidly.

Before long, Ye Bai arrived at an ancient and simple hall.

Deep within the magnificent palace, amidst carved beams and painted rafters, in the center of the resplendent palace, are sculptures representing the five elements and auspiciousness: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin, respectively representing the elements of wood, metal, fire, water, and earth.

They are so lifelike, each one seems to come alive.

The Azure Dragon coils and soars into the sky, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Its scales are delicate and lifelike, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist. The long antlers on its head are made of Jianmu wood, exuding the aura of Jianmu.

The white tiger sits majestically, its sharp claws outstretched, seemingly ready to pounce on its hidden prey at any moment. This statue is constructed from countless sharp swords.

The Vermilion Bird spreads its wings as if about to take flight, its magnificent plumage and fiery red color resembling a raging fire, leaping and shimmering within the palace. It is carved from a massive piece of fire crystal.

The Black Tortoise lay calmly prone, its carapace as hard as rock, its four claws firmly gripping the ground, appearing unshakable, and its body was filled with a vast and desolate aura.

The Qilin is gentle and noble, with prominent horns. Earthy yellow energy gathers on its mane, and its scales, illuminated by dazzling lights, exude a chilling aura.

The palace's interior was lavishly decorated, with divine inscriptions on every wall, representing the presence of the gods.

Every corner exudes the dignity and wealth of the sacred aura of the Hall of Fortune.

The enormous dome is inlaid with countless gems, which shimmer brilliantly under the lights.

The golden pillars stand tall and majestic, their surfaces carved with exquisite patterns, which are also composed of densely packed divine runes.

The ground is paved with smooth white jade, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. It adjusts to the body temperature, keeping it in a spring-like state all year round.

"It's quite shocking, isn't it?"

Marshal Qilin stepped forward.

He exuded an astonishing aura.

At this moment, the Qilin statue seemed to move slightly, as if it wanted to revive, but under the comforting presence of Marshal Qilin, it fell back into a deep sleep.

"Ye Bai, it was a last resort to ask you to come here for training."

"Through the Hall of Fortune, I have observed that great changes are coming in the future."

"And the direction of the change was actually towards the Sea God's Abyss."

“That place has always been a target of the Angel Legion’s attacks. Even the Rooster suffered a great loss in the Sea God’s Abyss.”

"Ye Bai, I hope that you and the other twenty-eight constellations can grow up as soon as possible."

"Especially you, as the White Tiger's Fang, you must stand up."

"Otherwise, this would be a huge loss for us."

Marshal Qilin said with a serious expression.

"I understand, Marshal Qilin."

"How should I receive the inheritance?"

Marshal Qilin suddenly pointed a finger at Ye Bai's brow.

The Northern Star Wolf Blade appeared before Ye Bai.

"It's very simple."

"I have sealed off your pet space."

"Right now, the only thing you can rely on is the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

"No matter how much your pet beast tries to break free of my seal."

"This is how to use the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

"You must bravely conquer the twelve palaces to be considered truly qualified for the test."

"There are a total of twelve two-hour periods, or twenty-four hours, to pass through these twelve palaces."

"If you fail, you will lose your right to inherit the Northern Star Wolf Blade, and we will find a new host for the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

"Since you are Kui Mulang, as the White Tiger's Fang, our requirements will be higher."

After hearing what Marshal Qilin said, Ye Bai wanted to complain.

Who designed this? What's the difference between this and Athena's adventures in the twelve palaces?
At least the five main characters bravely ventured into the Twelve Palaces, with so many Gold Saints supporting them.

And what do I have? Only the Northern Star Wolf Blade.

Moreover, when the five Bronze Saints stormed the palace, some of the Gold Saints were not at home, and some even deliberately let them win.

I truly and bravely ventured into the Twelve Palaces.

Despite his complaints, Ye Bai still respectfully saluted Marshal Qilin.

"Then please have Marshal Qilin teleport me to the Twelve Palaces."

"I will accept the inheritance of the Northern Star Wolf Blade."

At this moment, Marshal Qilin suddenly raised his head and said.

"Ye Bai, the assessment rules for each palace are not static, so please be careful in everything you do."

"Also, have more faith in your Horcruxes; their loyalty to you will never change."

"I expect you to become a full-fledged Kui Mulang!"

After saying that, Marshal Qilin waved his hand sharply, and Ye Bai spun around again, falling to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have used tempered glass."

Ye Bai rubbed his sore bottom, and only then did he realize that he couldn't use any of his skills.

None of the skills I borrowed from my pet are usable anymore.

This means that Marshal Qilin not only sealed the pet space, but also Ye Bai's skills.

This is to truly utilize the power of the Northern Star Wolf Blade to strengthen one's bond with it.

Ye Bai looked up and saw a palace called the Zishu Palace appear before him.

The Palace of the Rat is not ornate in appearance, but it exudes a calm and ancient atmosphere.

The palace is built of bluestone, and the years have etched mottled marks on its surface.

The palace gates were half-closed, letting in a sliver of soft light, and creaking sounds could be heard from inside.

"anyone there?"

Ye Bai gently pushed open the palace gate, which creaked open.

Upon entering the palace, one can immediately feel a unique tranquility.

Several bronze chandeliers hung from the beams, emitting a soft yellow light.

On the walls, murals depict the appearance of rats and their associated pets, which, from a distance, truly look as if they have come to life.

But the most eye-catching are the lifelike stone statues of rat-themed pet animals.

They stand or lie down, leap or run, and each statue is carved with exquisite detail.

The stone statues are carved from different types of stone; some are as smooth and lustrous as jade, while others are as simple and unadorned as stone.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the lanterns inside the palace to sway softly in the wind, and the shadows cast on the stone walls to dance along with them.

At this moment, a huge black shadow walked towards Ye Bai's direction, and the ground made a thumping sound.

When the shadowy figure got closer, Ye Bai realized it was a fat rat gnawing on meat.
