Tainted will

Chapter 26 Beast Tide



The underground cave, yet in the darkness of the cave, the spirit pond emitted a faint blue light. This was the Ye clans spirit pool.

"Break" Bai Ming spoke softly, both of his palms were placed together.

"Crack crack crack" the sounds of glass cracking could be heard as the entire formation slowly broke apart.

"There is still 3 hour's time for the twelve day time limit to end, I have already broken through the 6th layer of elemental realm." Bai Ming clenched his fist as he felt the immense power contained within them.

He tapped his bag of holding (storage pouch), nearly 30-40 wooden buckets flew out. Bai Ming next began to fill these buckets with the spirit water. After filling all of them he stored them in the storage pouch.

"Now the water in the spirit pool has decreased by nearly 30% but if I take anymore, the consequences won't be pleasant, plundering anymore than this would be crossing their bottom line. But the amount I have is enough for me to breakthrough to the core formation realm." Bai Ming thought as he looked at the spirit pool.

"If had the necessary materials, I would have constructed a teleportation array here, then if I could set up another in the outside I would be able to enter whenever I want. But unfortunately I lack the necessary materials."

"But there is one more thing that I have understood, Although I can convert the world's essence into skill points, but they need to be condensed form of essence like spirit stones, pills, spirit herbs etc. Unfortunately I cannot converte this spirit liquid into skill points."

"Now I need to quickly consolidated my cultivation base, after repeatedly breaking through the stability of my base is bit unstable." Bai Ming evaluated as he began to get dressed.

Consolidating the base was an important aspect of cultivation, one needed to have an steady foundation otherwise in the future when tackling higher realms problems were sure to arrise. Consolidating the base wasn't a difficult process, the best way of consolidating one's base was to either train rigorously or engage in battles.

"I'll practice the 3rd layer of the primeval sword art" Bai Ming then began to practice the sword art. Even though he had completely comprehend it, but if wanted to use it in combat he would have practice the sword art at least till he reaches initial mastery over it.

Mastering a technique as three stages, 1) initial mastery - A martial artist has to reach the initial mastery in order to correctly execute the said technique.

2) Mastery - when an martial artist reaches the mastery in a technique, he can fully display the power of the technique. The power will be 30-40% stronger than the initial mastery realm.

3) Transcendence - this is a special realm, not everyone can achieve this. Usually only the person who created that particular art can reach the realm of transcendence. Compared to the initial mastery realm there is 100% increase in strength.

Three hours quickly passed.

A middle aged woman quietly stood and watched Bai Ming train, she was the same woman who had previously led Bai Ming into the spirit pool. Her experienced gaze revealed her shock "He was only at the 1st layer of elemental realm but in a matter of days he has achieved the 6th layer?! How fearsome! he must definitely have some spiritual treasure. His future...even though he is only a mid grade talent, he might reach the core formation realm, My daughter is only a mid grade talent, and lacks the fortitude needed to be an expert, If i side with him early, and form a close relationship between my daughter and him, her future would be much secure." Her mind cycled through various scenarios, as she slowly revealed herself.

Bai Ming finally noticed her presence, he stopped training, he moved towards her. He cupped both of his hands in form of greeting, he spoke respectfully "Elder Xu, you have come."

​ She gave Bai Ming a smile and an approving nod "Junior Bai, congratulations on your breakthrough to the 6th layer, You have exceeded my expectations. You are surely Elder Li's grandson, you have inherited your grandfathers talent and passion for cultivation."

Bai Ming noticed the change in her attitude, he still spoke respectfully "Elder Xu is surely joking, I was just lucky, I wouldn't dare compare myself to grandfather, I still far from reaching his level."

"No no, don't humble yourself. Even though your only a mid grade talent, But speaking from my experiences I know that your someone ment for greatness." The elder xu continued to praise Bai Ming.

To this Bai Ming laughed but did not say anything.

"Come let's leave, during the period of time you were in seclusion many major things have happened." the elder xu spoke in slightly serious tone.

"What happened?" Bai Ming became alert.

Elder Xu immediately spoke with a slight frown, "There's been a small scale beast tide that formed near the village. If we let it be, it will slowly become a big scale beast tide. But that's not all, a few days ago a strange phenomena occurred, for an instant a huge golden ray of light shot out from a part of the mountain piercing the sky, some of the clan elders have gone to investigate it, But there hasn't been much progress in it."

"Oh, so it's like this?" Bai Ming's gaze flashed.

In this world of cultivators, it was hard for both humans and beasts to survive. Every few years a beast tide would happen. Humans need resources and living space, similarly wild beasts also needed such things!

To explain the beast tide as a war between wild beasts and humanity.

Taking Xuan mountain for example, every few years there would be a large scale wolf tide that attacks each of the big mountain villages.

"But this is only an small scale beast tide, but If this problem is not controlled in time, the tide would only get bigger. Although it is still unable to endanger the existence of the Ye village, if we leave it alone, the village's power would be greatly reduced. But that isn't the main part here, golden ray of light? is it the birth of some natural treasure or is it something else, Hmm...interesting."

"Wait! If this is the case… Heh heh heh heh." There was a sudden flash in his eyes, but Bai Ming promptly cast his gaze down, hiding away the change in his eyes.

Elder Xu continued to speak. "At the present both the internal and external affairs hall have given orders to mobilize, this is an urgent mission. Almost every small group in the village have set off, Your team has just returned yesterday, they are waiting for you to set off together now."

As she spoke, they were almost reaching the surface. Elder Xu took out a Jade bottle "Junior bai, Danger lurks everywhere during a beast wave. All kinds of wild beasts roam about, you have to be careful. Take this bottle of high grade 2nd tier medicinal pills."

Bai Ming wasn't courteous at all, he thanked her once before keeping the small bottle in his robes. To this Elder Xu just smiled kindly at him.

Both of them had just exited the underground space, when Bai Ming's gaze landed on the person standing in front.

Bai Ming raised his eyes and looked at this person. It was no other than his new teammate, Ji wushang.
