After the crowd got a great victory, they rested in the valley and reorganized the troops. They planned to further explore the destroyed castle after resting, while Yang Ling used meditation as an excuse to sneak into the forest and enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension when no one was paying attention to him. He quickly looked for the five Mammoths near the Pagoda that were devouring the white fog to heal their injuries.

Bartley expresses his greetings to you, master.
When the Mammoths’ leader saw Yang Ling, he turned into a husky man, and he prostrated it in front of Yang Ling with his other four brothers. They were all bald husky men, and everyone had muscles bigger than the other. It didn’t seem like they were greeting their master, Yang Ling. Instead, it seemed like they were the criminal worlds’ thugs greeting their boss.
Did he tame several skinheads inadvertently?
As Yang Ling observed the Mammoths that turned into several husky men and observed their bald heads, as well as their bulging muscles, he couldn’t help but shake his head. If he brought those guys into Earth that was in its 21st century, they would surely be the fiercest men among fierce men. Just their muscles that were bigger than Schwarzenegger’s would be able to scare thugs as expected of guys that practiced the Force Law!

Stand up! Later, you can just call me lord like the others.
Yang Ling asked the few skinheads to stand up and paused for a moment before he said,
Bartley, you have said a while ago that the castle is called Gibra Temple. What do you mean by this?



Yang Ling had tamed them, and he could look into the few Mammoths’ memories to understand what was going on. But, those few beasts had trained for innumerable years like Hydra, and their memory was surely a mess. Yang Ling didn’t have time for this, and he was also disinclined to search their memory little by little for relevant info.

That is right! This is Gibra Temple, which was left behind by Lord Artest.
Bartley spoke in a deep voice with a sad expression on his face.
However… When a great battle occurred 100,000 years ago, Lord Artest left Gibra Temple, and he didn’t come back since then.

Bartley that was questioned further by Yang Ling, started recounting this affair.
It turned out that a long time ago, those few brothers were just normal Mammoths, and they lived in a distant grassland. Every day, they either chased after each other for fun, drank water by the lake, or ate the grass on the ground. If nothing unexpected occurred, they wouldn’t have led an ordinary life like other ordinary Mammoths. They continued leading such lives until an unexpected event occurred one day.
An old man clad in black clothes appeared in front of them suddenly, and he built a Teleportation Formation Spell quickly. He teleported their whole group into the valley where Gibra Temple was situated, and he awakened their Spiritual Wisdom. He passed to them Training Mantras and asked them to guard the valley and the castle.
It was only after a long time that they finally became God-Level Magical Beasts, and at that moment that they got to know that the black-robed old man’s name was Artest. At that time, they still didn’t know anything about everything else. There was a temple within the castle, and it was protected by a mysterious Magical Formation Spell. None could enter the temple without the black-robed old man’s permission, and they weren’t able to intrude into the temple even when they became Mid-Level Divine Beasts.
The valley was deserted and isolated from the world. Even though Bartley and his companions were nominally the valley’s guardians, they still had never seen any intruders, and this continued until a day where disaster befell them suddenly.
On that day, the black-robed old man ordered Bartley to go into the lake with his clansmen to wash their bodies from filth, while the old man also took a bath and changed his clothes. This was a rarely seen matter for him. The old man had said that he planned to carry out a certain sacrificial ritual, and Bartley and the others got excited due to this.
When they just planned to watch this event, uninvited guests dropped from the sky, and the numerous Mammoths weren’t a match for them. Those guests managed to break into the castle quickly, and they charged into the temple. They first had an intense quarrel before those uninvited guests carried out a great battle against the black-robed old man.
Bartley and the others didn’t know what those uninvited guests and the black-robed old man were quarreling about, and they just knew that after the great battle occurred, none of those uninvited guests managed to escape, while the black-robed old man Artest became drenched with blood. At that time, the old man flew into the sky and left without saying a single word, and he didn’t come back again since then. He just left behind a group of Mammoths that survived by luck!



Did you never enter the temple in the past 100,000 years?
Yang Ling furrowed his brows. He couldn’t fathom the black-robed old man’s status, but he could still ascertain that a person that could help ordinary mammoths advance into the God-Level by just teaching them several things was certainly not an ordinary expert.

In the past 100,000 years, the temple’s Protective Magical Formation Spell turned weaker with the passing of time, but we still can’t get inside.
Bartley shook his head and revealed a bitter smile. Whenever he had free time in the past 100,000 years, he would lead the numerous mammoths and attack the scarlet light barrier of the temple’s Protective Magical Formation Spell. He hoped to enter the temple to see what was inside. But it was a pity that he couldn’t do so despite using everything up his sleeves.
After a great battle occurred in the past, the temple’s Protective Magical Formation Spell was on the verge of collapse, and it turned weaker with every passing year. But it still didn’t collapse despite the fact that the mammoths attacked it strongly.

Bartley, let’s go. Follow me outside, and let’s see what the matter is.
When Yang Ling saw the sad look plastered on the face of Bartley and his companions, he discerned that he wouldn’t get anything else by questioning them, and this was why he teleported out with the leader Bartley. He quickly looked for the Sword God and the Chief Elven Priestess, and he planned to go inside personally to see what happened.

Yang Ling, it’s good that you have come over. Let’s go, let’s go with the other few people to observe the state of the castle’s interior.
The Chief Elven Priestess was quite prudent, and she planned to assemble all God-Level Experts before going. This broken castle was too strange, and none knew what oddities were hidden inside it. Even warriors and elves with Domain-Level’s power might be killed on the spot if they followed them inside, let alone people with Sacred-Level’s power.

Fine, let’s go. Bartley, show the way at the front.
Yang Ling moved ahead of others, and he instructed the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala and others to follow him. He had a guide such as Bartley, and he didn’t have to worry about running into any monsters or strange defensive mechanism in the way. The only unknown factor was the temple within the castle.

Yang Ling, this is…
The Chief Elven Priestess furrowed her brows and looked at the bald Bartley that walked with large strides. She found Bartley’s aura quite familiar, but she still couldn’t recall where she had seen him.

This is my personal guard, and his name is Bartley. Priestess, you have probably seen him previously, and you just didn’t pay attention to him.
Yang Ling smiled and gave a vague reply. The Wizard Pagoda’s dimension was his greatest secret, and he wouldn’t divulge it easily.
Personal guard? How was it possible for a strange personal guard to emerge out suddenly?
The Chief Elven Priestess shook her head in confusion, but she still didn’t question Yang Ling further because she discerned that he didn’t want to speak about this. She just warned him to be careful so that he wouldn’t suffer any monster’s attack.


Even though the castle was in ruins, it still had a tremendous expanse, and after the crowd crossed the castle’s gate, a large plaza appeared in front of their eyes, and it was constructed with smooth bluestone. There was a church-like building with a steeple in front of the plaza, and it was engulfed by a layer of scarlet light barrier. If he didn’t guess wrong, this should be Gibra Temple that was mentioned by Bartley.

Everyone, you should be careful. There is an intense Death Aura inside it.
When the Chief Elven Priestess saw the building with a steeple that was engulfed by a scarlet light barrier and detected the intense Energy Ripples in the air, her expression changed drastically, and she waved her hand to give the crowd the Blessing Halo. She was an expert that practiced the Nature Law and Life Law, and this was why she was quite sensitive to Death Aura.

A large amount of Death Aura! Could it be that the temple is a graveyard?
Yang Ling shook his head in confusion. He detected intense Death Aura, but strangely enough, this place wasn’t like the castle on the seabed, and he couldn’t see any vestiges of Dead Soul and Spirits.

Lord, if I didn’t guess wrong, this shouldn’t be a graveyard. This is either the abode of an expert that practiced the Death Law, or a certain Divine Weapon with the Death Attribute was inside.
The Corpse Wizard King wore a grave expression, and he held the Death Horn tightly in his hand.
He was once specialized in Dead Soul Magic. But now, he was a Corpse Wizard King that attacked mainly with the Death Law, and he became too familiar with the Death Aura. He managed to quickly discern that this wasn’t a common graveyard. If this was the abode of an expert that practiced the Death Law, then a terrifying battle would probably occur. But if there was a Divine Weapon with the Death Attribute inside, then they would get great benefits, and they must surely get it at any cost.
The Death Horn that was a Dead Soul Attribute Master Divine Weapon mentioned in the legend, and it increased the Corpse Wizard King’s power by several folds, while his training speed also turned higher than before by much. If he could get the Divine Weapon, then this would be better for him than getting an ordinary Godhead.
…
The crowd was careful and prudent, but Yang Ling had already understood through Bartley’s memory that the dangers didn’t lurk in the plaza, and he walked with large strides. The crowd that was led by Yang Ling was forced to speed up, and they quickly reached the temple that was enveloped by a scarlet light barrier.
The scarlet light barrier had a large scope, and it enveloped the temple wholly. It emitted an intense repellent power that obstructed the crowd’s way. Yang Ling had gnashed his teeth and tried to take two steps forcefully, but he just deflected away as if he had just walked into a strong spring.

Tsk, tsk. It’s no wonder that the mammoths can’t get inside for 100,000 years despite racking their brains for a solution.
After Yang Ling tried it several times, he was forced to give up. If he didn’t guess wrong, this should be an Ancient Magical Formation Spell like the Thorns Magical Formation Spell, and it would be difficult to break it with brute power unless he could draw help from the world’s power.


When he attacked the Demon Island in the past, he ran into a rarely seen storm, and he drew help from the berserk lightning to attack the Demon Island’s Protective Formation Spell. In addition, the Demon Island’s Thorns Magical Formation Spell was already in ruin, and the old witch had just repaired it reluctantly. This was why they managed to break it by a fluke.
Now, he didn’t have berserk lightning. So, how could he break this hateful Protective Magical Formation Spell?
Yang Ling furrowed his brows and pondered strenuously over a solution. According to what the Corpse Wizard King had said, a powerful Divine Weapon was likely stored in the temple, and it would be a pity to miss this great opportunity.
