Supreme Tamer

Chapter 501: Chapter 373: Weeping Monument, Distant Memories

“Remove all your Space Rings and Soul Capture Rings.” On the final step of the altar, a man clad in silver armor spoke with a resonant voice.

Chu Mu glanced at Li Hen, showing a hint of confusion.

“Our sanctuary is strictly protected by our Soul Hall, and in general, killing lives and capturing soul pets are not allowed inside. This ensures the continuous development of the entire sanctuary. Our sanctuary is now in a very prosperous period, and it’s crucial to maintain this state.” Li Hen explained, handing over his own Soul Capture Rings and Space Rings.

Chu Mu knew that it was impossible for his items to escape the Soul Sense of this powerful Soul Pet Master, but handing over his Space Ring was a bit more difficult.

Chu Mu’s Space Ring contained a Zhe Dragon egg, and he felt much safer keeping it on his person.

“Young Master Chu, the Holy Guards here are only keeping them safe and won’t touch any items or soul pets of the Soul Hall members within their rings. You can rest assured,” Li Hen said.

Chu Mu hesitated for a moment before finally handing over his Soul Capture Ring and Space Ring.

“Take the potions from your Space Ring and put them into this Space Ring.” After all three of them handed over their items, the Holy Guard spoke again.

The Holy Guard held three additional space rings, presumably provided by the Soul Hall for temporary use by Soul Pet Masters entering the sanctuary. Only potions were allowed inside, and all other items were strictly forbidden.

“Which of you is the one hunting?” The Holy Guard asked.

“It’s me, Senior.” Ting Lan politely answered.

“Do you know the rules?” The middle-aged Holy Guard asked.

Ting Lan nodded and said, “Yes, bind my Soul Contract Spell.”

The middle-aged Holy Guard nodded, his brown eyes suddenly emitting a sharp light, transforming into a kind of spiritual seal that entered Ting Lan’s spiritual world!

A deep blue brilliance flickered around Ting Lan, faintly forming a luminescent chain while slowly blending into her body.

“What is this?” Chu Mu looked puzzled at Li Hen, not quite understanding the significance of this mental skill.

“Young Master Chu, this is the Soul Contract Seal, a Soul Pet Master’s secret book. Those under its effects are unable to recite the Soul Contract Spell for a certain period, thus unable to sign the Soul Contract with soul pets. Every soul pet in the sanctuary is protected by the Soul Hall, and every member entering the sanctuary can only capture one soul pet. This soul pet must be placed within the Soul Capture Ring given by the Holy Guard just now. The Soul Contract Seal prevents Soul Pet Masters from directly signing the Soul Contract with soul pets inside the sanctuary,” Li Hen explained.

“Then how do we capture soul pets?” Chu Mu asked.

Without being allowed to sign the Soul Contract directly and unable to carry the Soul Capture Ring, would they have to carry the juvenile pet out of the sanctuary by hand?

“Later, the Holy Guard will give Ting Lan a specific Soul Capture Ring. Capture the soul pet with this Soul Capture Ring. Upon leaving the sanctuary, an inspection is required, and only after passing the inspection, will the soul pet belong to you,” Li Hen explained.

The rules of the Soul Hall led to Soul Pet Masters only being able to capture one soul pet when entering the sanctuary, capturing more was almost impossible.

Suddenly, Chu Mu realized something.

Any member of the Soul Hall entering the sanctuary cannot sign the Soul Contract freely with any soul pets within the sanctuary. However, when he was brought into the Di Sheng Domain by Liu Binglan, Chu Mu was not restricted by this spell, and he signed a Soul Contract with the girl inside the sanctuary.

If the sanctuary had such rules, then possessing the Female Superior privilege made him the only Soul Pet Master capable of signing the Soul Contract with soul pets inside the sanctuary!

This meant that the defecting girl must have seen this and chosen him intentionally!

“So, it wasn’t a coincidence after all, perhaps she had been waiting there for a long time!” Chu Mu finally understood why the miracle girl soul pet that shook the entire soul pet world had signed a Soul Contract with him!

Chu Mu’s emotions began to stir again, but he quickly suppressed them. Even if he knew these things now, there was nothing he could do, and improving his strength was the key!

“You two, do you know the rules?” After completing the Soul Contract Seal for Ting Lan, the Holy Guard looked at Chu Mu and Li Hen.

Chu Mu and Li Hen nodded, and then the Holy Guard cast the Soul Contract shackles on both Chu Mu and Li Hen, restricting their Soul Contract Spells.

“As accompanying members, you two are not allowed to intervene unless there is a dangerous situation. Understand?” The Holy Guard sternly ordered.

“Don’t worry, senior.” Li Hen nodded.

After completing all the pre-entry strictures into the sanctuary, the Holy Guard led them towards the Sanctuary Gate.

The top of the altar was made of gigantic ancient secret stones. In the central position, there was a huge Sanctum Gate that appeared to be completely empty. The enormous gate was likely fifty meters high, making humans standing at its base seem incredibly tiny!

“Buzz”

Suddenly, a bell-like hum sounded, and Chu Mu, who was standing under the sacred door, could clearly feel that some kind of power was floating around him.

A rose-purple light bloomed from the bottom of the Holy Altar, one staircase after another, like a huge radiant totem unfolding. When it slowly flickered at the top of the Holy Altar, the various patterns on the giant secret stones under Chu Mu’s feet glowed, forming a soul-stirring masterpiece.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble ~”

The Holy Gate shook slightly, and a hint of dawn light leaked from the door seam into the silver-patterned temple, finally landing on Chu Mu and the other two…

Facing such a scene, Chu Mu’s heart was once again filled with an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, but it wasn’t related to the memory of the defected Soul Pet!

“What is it? Why are there these strange feelings again?” Chu Mu stared at the huge totem beneath his feet, and a certain emotion spread from deep within his heart, it was a feeling of sadness!

“This is… This is… Heavenly Boundary Monument!” Finally, Chu Mu recalled!

This feeling of déjà vu was exactly what he felt at the Heavenly Boundary Monument – the mysterious totems, indomitable beast souls, and ancient memories…

Chu Mu couldn’t remember at all what he saw in the illusion of the Heavenly Boundary Monument. However, every time he saw the mysterious stone carving patterns, it would touch his soul and then produce a sad resonance.

Heavenly Boundary Monument, mysterious totem, the illusionary beast souls, Seven Diagram Holy Temple… What exactly is the connection between them?

Chu Mu knew he must have seen something when he cried in the Heavenly Boundary Monument, but he couldn’t recall anything afterwards. If he could remember what he saw in the Heavenly Boundary Monument, maybe he could get some explanation…

“Young Master Chu? What’s wrong this time?” Li Hen gently pushed Chu Mu, interrupting his train of thought.

Chu Mu gradually came back to his senses. Looking at the giant painting beneath his feet, he knew he probably wouldn’t be able to remember anymore. He shook his head and said to Li Hen and Ting Lan, “I just think this pattern is strange. Let’s go.”

Li Hen didn’t ask any more questions, and walked ahead to lead the way for the two of them.

As they stepped through the sacred door, the sunlight from another place fell on the three of them. The warm feeling was like walking from a huge castle gate onto a vast expanse of land.

Chu Mu’s initial impression of the Wind-binding Sanctuary was not as dangerous as he thought. Even here, Chu Mu couldn’t see any areas like the storm zone in Desolate Ancient City.

Looking across the entire sanctuary, there was no end in sight. Or rather, apart from the sudden appearance of a huge gate on the ground behind them, this special space had no significant difference from the normal world. There was sunlight, land, and life…

“Ting Lan, have you found the Wind-binding Spirit yet?” Li Hen asked.

“Yes, this is the fourth time I’ve been here. I’ve found a Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit. So far I haven’t heard of it being captured by anyone,” Ting Lan replied.

“That’s great. You’ll have to rely on yourself for the battle. I can only guarantee your safety,” Li Hen said.

Ting Lan nodded, slowly reciting a spell, and began to summon her Soul Pet.

What Ting Lan summoned was the Linyin Beast, one of the Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts Chu Mu had seen before.

The Linyin Beast was an Intermediate Monarch with an imposing spirit. The dazzling Dawn Battle Armor covered its entire body, showcasing its majestic and domineering skin pattern, which perfectly revealed this Holy Pet’s wildness.

Chu Mu remembered that the Linyin Beast had a high stage back then, and now it was clearly at the Eighth Rank, Ninth Stage.

After Ting Lan, Li Hen also recited a spell, summoning his mount Soul Pet in front of him. Li Hen didn’t dare to fly easily in this Sanctuary. Instead of summoning the Tenth Rank Misty Immortal Bird, he summoned an Earth Fiend Dream Demon!

A Ninth Stage Earth Fiend Dream Demon!!

Chu Mu remembered that Xia Guanghan also had an Earth Fiend Dream Demon, and at that time it was only at the Eighth Stage. Li Hen’s Earth Fiend Dream Demon, however, had already reached the Ninth Stage. If Xia Guanghan’s strength was limited to the Soul Pets Chu Mu had seen, then Xia Guanghan was no match for Li Hen at all.

Of course, Chu Mu was sure that Xia Guanghan was not that simple. At that time in the Demon Spirit City, he didn’t dare to summon any Soul Pets above the Eighth Stage Monarch, so he must have other, stronger Soul Pets that he hadn’t summoned yet.

“Ye!” Chu Mu recited a spell, summoning the Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of him.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast’s aura was clearly weaker than the other two Soul Pets. The Night Thunder Dream Beast was a Quasi-monarch, while the Linyin Beast was an Intermediate Monarch. There was a significant difference in strength between the two.

Of course, compared to a few months ago, Chu Mu’s combined Soul Pets might have been no match for the Linyin Beast, but now Chu Mu was confident that he could defeat Ting Lan’s Linyin Beast. Moreover, after purchasing those spirit items, his strength would surge once more. At that time, Zhan Ye would be able to fight the Linyin Beast for some time.
