Ye Kong had never regretted bringing Chen Runing along. Although this fellow's hatred had never disappeared, Chen Runing had been a competent consultant for the Chaos Beast along the way.
Hearing that Chen Runing could actually understand the beast's words, Ye Kong was overjoyed. He hurriedly released Chen Runing to act as a translator.
"Do you know about its history and its owner?" Ye Kong asked hurriedly.
Zhuang Yu, who was at the side, had managed to escape. He looked at Chen Runing curiously. He thought to himself, I'm a 300,000-dimensional being, but you, a 20,000-dimensional little fellow, actually know about it?
Chen Runing probably saw through Zhuang Yu's suspicions. He said, "Actually, my knowledge comes from books. My master has a huge collection of books, and I like to read widely. Especially those about strange beasts, they are my favorite books. Thus, I know many things that others don't."
Ye Kong nodded. "Speak. I believe you."
In reality, as Ye Kong's slave, Chen Runing couldn't lie even if he wanted to. Servants couldn't lie to their masters.
Chen Runing was encouraged. He nodded and said, "Now, there are eight great Saint Emperors in the Central Sacred Ground. All the Supremacies in the Pure Land obey them. But who remembers that when the Sacred Ground was created, there were actually nine great Saint Emperors!"
Just as Chen Runing said this, Zhuang Yu exclaimed, "The eight great Saint Emperors have already ordered that Saint Emperor La Ge is forbidden from talking about him!"
Chen Runing said, "What do we have to be afraid of here? The one who saved you just now was not the eight great Saint Emperors. It was related to the Ninth Saint Emperor!"
Zhuang Yu heard this and was even more shocked. He looked at the righteous beast that saved him and asked in a low voice, "Could this be Saint Emperor La Ge's mount?"
"No." Chen Runing shook his head. "How can the Ninth Saint Emperor's mount be so ugly? The Ninth Saint Emperor's mount is a mutated One-Eyed Vermillion Bird from the Sacred Ground's Four Saint Beasts! "
"Pfff!" Probably because it was called ugly, the huge beast was so angry that it spat out a large amount of sticky liquid from its nose. It covered Chen Runing's face.
Ye Kong and Zhuang Yu both laughed. Ye Kong said, "Don't spout nonsense. This Righteous Beast Senior understands our words."
Chen Runing smiled. "It's okay. This beast is honest and kind-hearted. It just can't bear to see others die in front of it. It won't really get angry."
Chen Runing said as he scratched the side of its giant foot. The giant beast was happily lying on the ground. From this perspective, it looked more like a brown tower with mops hanging all over it.
It seemed that this kid was very familiar with the habits of this giant beast. He continued, "This beast is called the Tower Beast. Because its entire body is a treasure, the meat of the giant tower on its back is even more delicious. Therefore, when the Pure Land World was just created, it was hunted by the humans of various races."
"The pagoda beasts panicked and hid everywhere. When they saw that there were too many people, they would escape. However, the humans had many methods. They would kill each other near the places where the pagoda beasts appeared. They would act out a bloody tragedy. When the pagoda beasts felt that they couldn't take it anymore, they would rush out to help the weaker side. However, the moment they appeared, what awaited them was a massacre. Both sides would reveal their ferocious expressions and turn around to kill the pagoda beasts … "
At this point, the female Supremacy Liu Jinyuan in Ye Kong's space could not help but scold. "These people are really shameless! They used the kindness of the pagoda beasts to kill them. They are too immoral! "
Zhuang Yu said, "Humans are humans, beasts are beasts. We are not on the same side. It's just the law of the jungle." As he said this, he suddenly remembered that the pagoda beasts had just saved him. He felt a little embarrassed and added, "I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about the people who killed the pagoda beasts."
At this point, Ye Kong suddenly thought of something. Those black figures chased me here and attacked me. Could it be that they had the intention of luring the pagoda beasts out?
The more Ye Kong thought about it, the more he felt that it was likely. If he had not struck the rocks in anger and attracted the red rocks to scare the black figures away, the black figures would have succeeded in their scheme!
At this point, Chen Runing said, "As time passed, the pagoda beasts became fewer and fewer. They were almost extinct. However, there was only one of them that managed to enter the Central Holy Land after experiencing countless dangers.
"At that time, the Holy Emperors had already issued a joint order to prohibit outsiders from entering the Holy Land. That was why this huge pagoda beast survived. Because it was the last of the pagoda beasts and was taller and stronger than normal pagoda beasts, it was called the Holy Pagoda King Beast!"
"Could this be the Holy Pagoda King Beast?" Ye Kong sized up the brown pagoda that was covered in strips of cloth again and asked, "Then how did it get here?"
Chen Runing said, "It's a long story. The Holy Pagoda King Beast lived in the Holy Land for countless years. Finally, one day, the Holy Emperors needed its help with something."
Ye Kong said, "It must be something big!"
"That's right!" Chen Runing nodded and said, "At that time, the Water Changing Cold Court broke through the Bodhi Shield. Chaos surged in like a flood, almost drowning and destroying this paradise."
Zhuang Yu interrupted, "After that, the Holy Emperor mended the heavens. All eight Holy Emperors arrived. Finally, with the First Holy Emperor's full effort, he managed to refine the Heaven Mending Stone and plug the gap."
Chen Runing said, "It's said that the First Holy Emperor didn't put in as much effort … I don't dare to comment on the Holy Emperor's matters, but everyone knows that the Holy Pagoda King Beast played an indispensable role in this."
Zhuang Yu said in shock, "You're saying that the Holy Pagoda King Beast came here to help mend the heavens?"
"That's right!" Chen Runing said, "It's said that the Heaven Mending Stone is not an ordinary stone. It's extremely heavy and cannot be stored in any space. If one gets close to it, it will even lower a Supremacy's cultivation. Thus, the nine Holy Emperors were unwilling to take on the responsibility of transporting it. At this point, everyone thought of the Holy Pagoda King Beast. This fellow could carry an astonishing amount of weight and was the best transportation tool to transport the Heaven Mending Stone. It's just that the Holy Pagoda King Beast had been tricked by humans too many times, so it was unwilling to help no matter who it was. Thus, the Ninth Holy Emperor volunteered to go. "
Zhuang Yu said, "I've heard about it later. It's said that the Ninth Holy Emperor didn't use despicable methods to capture it, nor did he kill each other to lure it out. Instead, he lived alone in the dense forest for six months and used his charisma to become good friends with the Holy Pagoda King Beast. The Holy Pagoda King Beast was willing to help him transport the Heaven Mending Stone."
What Zhuang Yu heard was a rumor from the outside. The story of the Holy Pagoda King Beast had long disappeared. What was passed down now was only the Holy Pagoda King Beast.
Ye Kong nodded and said, "That Ninth Holy Emperor is an extraordinary person. To be able to become a Holy Emperor, his cultivation must be astonishing. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to force the Holy Pagoda King Beast!"
At this moment, one of the servants in Ye Kong's space spoke, "The Ninth Holy Emperor's original name is Zhan Xiang. He's a simple and honest person with astonishing strength, but he can empathize with the people of the Pure Land who don't have any cultivation. He doesn't put on any airs at all. His nickname is Brother La. It's said that before he became a Supremacy, he was only a cart puller in a certain realm. Thus, everyone called him Brother La. He wasn't angry at all and even called himself Holy Emperor La Ge!"
Ye Kong nodded and said, "Holy Emperor La Ge convinced the Holy Pagoda King Beast to transport the Heaven Mending Stone. What happened after that?"
However, everyone present smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
