Chapter 414: Chapter 410: Elemental World


    Under the lead of Yi Yu, Bai Qi arrived at the other end of the cave.


    Perhaps due to geographical divisions, the creatures here were all Elemental Creatures, with significantly stronger energy fluctuations.


    “Elemental Creatures are no less potential than Dragon Race, Bai Qi, if you don’t have a specific race in mind, this is also a good option,” Yi Yu pointed to a variety of odd-looking Elemental Creatures and said.


    “Elemental Creatures? That doesn’t sound too bad.”


    Bai Qi tilted his head to think. So far, he indeed hadn’t signed a Pet Contract with any Elemental Creature. It seemed like a decent choice.


    Then he’d have a look.


    Thinking of this, Bai Qi began to search among various Elemental Creatures.


    Elemental Creatures, a species born from the condensation of a certain element energy, had an extraordinarily strong control and affinity for the energy corresponding to their bodies, surpassing ordinary creatures due to its pure energy body.


    For instance, Feng Ye’s Earth Elemental had naturally strong control over earth attribute energypared to other creatures. The same skill, if used by an Earth Elemental, would have its power multiplied.


    “However, there really isn’t anything worth choosing.”<div>


    Bai Qi strolled through the cave, but he couldn’t find an Elemental Creature that met his requirements.


    Ignoring the three Mutant Species of Alpha, Husky, and Gamma, or Delta which couldn’t be judged as a normal species, the Insect Grass that possessed both the Mythical bloodline and Dragon bloodline alone had raised his picky appetite.


    It was rare for him to upgrade first and find a pet to contract with afterward. He wouldn’t bind a contract just to anyone.


    His requirements weren’t high. A Mutant Species or a Mythical Species would be fine.


    Unfortunately, he couldn’t find one here, no matter whether it was a Mutant Species, let alone a Mythical Species. Variants and Elemental Variants were too rare. Bai Qi hadn’t encountered any despite wandering around here for ages.


    “It looks like there’s no hope of solving the issue of the sixth pet here.”


    Bai Qi sighed while Yi Yu beside him suddenly smiled, saying, “Indeed, considering your discerning taste, Bai Qi, the pets here might not live up to your expectations.”


    “Haha… I’m sorry to take up so much of your time, Minister Yi. If you have any other affairs to attend to, you can go ahead. I can wander around by myself.”


    The cave was enormous. Bai Qi had only explored a small portion of it. They weren’t in a hurry. He’d continue his search leisurely.


    “That’s fine. I’ll go deal with some other tasks.”


    Yi Yu didn’t object and turned to leave. Meanwhile, Bai Qi continued strolling leisurely.


    Although it wasn’t guaranteed that he would find a pet he was fond of, continuing to make progress was a good idea.


    …


    Half the day psed quickly. Bai Qi had toured a major part of the Elemental Creatures area but had not yet chosen his sixth pet.


    “I forgot to ask if there were any creatures belonging to the Equipment System here. Choosing a creature from the Equipment System could also be a good option.”


    Bai Qi scratched his head, nning to ask someone about the location of the Equipment System creatures when he saw the five members of the Zero Team emerging from a nearby cave.


    “Bai Qi, why are you alone here, where’s the minister?”


    After scanning the surroundings and confirming that Yi Yu wasn’t around, Wang Chuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Minister Yi had to leave due to some affairs. I am just wandering around.”<div>


    Bai Qi responded with a faint smile.


    “That’s good then. We can stay a little longer.”


    Wang Chuan nodded, asking, “Bai Qi, are you here to contract your sixth pet?”


    “Wang Chuan, watch your words.”<div>


    Before Bai Qi could answer, Wang Chuan was kicked hard by Tan Lang. Wang Chuan then remembered something and apologetically said to Bai Qi, “I apologize, Master Bai Qi.”


    Hearing Wang Chuan’s respectful address, Bai Qi shook his head, saying, “There’s no need for such formality. Just call me Bai Qi.”


    Tan Lang shook his head, saying, “No, this is the respect a Six Stage Sunrise Master deserves.”


    “Alright then, as long as it makes you guys happy.”


    Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Legends were not abundant in the Federation, so as a powerful force below the Legends, Six Stage masters held a unique status.


    President Qin, for instance, although he had no chance of bing a Legend in his lifetime, he stillmanded respect from others.


    “Master Bai Qi, are you intending to contract an Elemental Pet?”


    Tan Lang asked, “If so, Ye Ge might be able to help.”


    “Oh?”


    When Bai Qi heard this, his eyes lit up. Ye Ge’s talent was ice, a rather rare offensive elemental talent. From Tan Lang’s words, did it mean that Ye Ge’s Legendary Bloodline was an Elemental Creature?


    A creature formed of energy and flesh… this technological difficulty was quite high…


    It seemed that Ye Ge had noticed Bai Qi’s strange gaze. Although he twisted his head away in annoyance, he didn’t refute his captain’s words, and coldly said, “Come with me.”


    After speaking, Ye Ge took the lead and walked towards the exit of the cave.<div>


    Although it was nearing noon, there were no signs of the cave bing deserted. On the contrary, it was bing even busier.


    “Eden has arge number of beasts being contracted out every year, and those who cane here are almost all from therge families and corporations of the Federation. More people wille in the afternoon.”


    Tan Lang exined: “But the Association doesn’t need to go through such trouble, the cultivation ground of the Six Towers is just as good as here.”


    “Are you sure we’re talking about the same ce?”


    Bai Qi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He had been to the training ground before, but it paled inparison to the scale of this ce.


    Unless, Old Lady Fan was hiding something?


    Bai Qi suddenly understood. Tan Lang seemed to recall something and said, “It is said that among the creators of Eden, there were predecessors from the Association. For some reason unknown to us, they had a fallout and the Association never returned.”


    “This time, Director Wang specifically invited Master Bai Qi to attend the Eden conference. We were quite surprised, but it seems to have been a very correct choice.”


    “They had a fallout?”


    A glimmer of interest appeared in Bai Qi’s eyes. It wasn’t a matter of major policy since it didn’t affect their usual rtionship. This must have been for some personal reason. Based on the timing, perhaps it had something to do with a Guardian?


    Given what he knew so far, could it be that the Eternal Night Blood Emperor was too fickle, and had abandoned some legendary creature of the Association?


    The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.


    “I’m not too clear on the specifics. But since Master Bai Qi was invited here, and the Guardians had no objections, the two sides should be on course for reconciliation.”<div>


    Tan Lang smirked. Inviting Bai Qi was clearly not only for the banquet. This was a clear signal, a signal of reconciliation between the Guardians of both sides.


    Given their usual attitude towards humans, they would absolutely not have sought out Bai Qi so proactively.


    The group left the cave and under Ye Ge’s guidance, headed towards the edge of Eden, quickly arriving at an Ice Field.


    The Ice Field covered a vast area. Bai Qi had noticed it when he came down from the floating ind, but seeing it for himself was far more stunning.


    “We’re here.”


    Ye Ge stopped walking. He whispered a few words to a wandering Ice Soul, which then flew deep into the Ice Field.


    Not long after, a huge creature d in icy armor emerged from within.


    Guardian of Ice – King of the Ice Element – Achilles.


    Standing beside Achilles was Yi Yu, who had left earlier.


    “You’re here.”


    Seeing Bai Qi and the others arrive, Yi Yu appeared to have anticipated it. He showed no surprise and looked at Achilles, saying, “Guardian of Ice, we are indebted to you.”


    “Not at all, it’s time to open the Elemental World anyway.”


    Achilles shook his head, leaned down, and lightly tapped the ice surface.<div>


    The ice surface shattered with a bang, revealing a door made of various colored minerals.


    As Achilles continuously infused energy into it, dazzling lights began to sh on the door, illuminating the sky of Eden.


    “Elemental World? What is that?”


    Looking at the increasingly bright door before him, Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled.


    “The Elemental World, it’s said that during the Mythical Era, several element deities created it as a safe and stable habitat for elemental lives.”


    Tan Lang paused, then said: “Unfortunately, since the end of the Mythical Era, the entrance to the Elemental World disappeared, leading to a drastic drop in the number of elemental creatures. It was not until the Guardian of Ice found an entrance that humans were able to enter the Elemental World and seek powerful elemental creatures for contracts.”


    “I see.”


    Bai Qi nodded slightly. First, it was Eden, now the Elemental World. The Federation sure had quite a few trump cards, no wonder the tribes had been hesitant to make any significant moves over the years.


    They really couldn’t afford to provoke them.


    Finally, the door to the Elemental Worldpletely turned into an energy entity, standing on the Ice Field. It also attracted a number of Beast Masters who had sensed the anomaly or had heard the news in advance.


    “Today, the Elemental World is reopening. Each Beast Master present has a chance tomunicate with the Elemental World. No matter what elemental creature is summoned, as long as it is willing, it can be taken away.”


    Achilles announced the rules without much emotion. Several Beast Masters rushed forward in anticipation to beginmunication with the Elemental World.


    However, all they summoned were the most ordinary elemental creatures, which were not even as good as those waiting to be contracted in the cave.


    “Bai Qi, why don’t you give it a try?”


    Yi Yu asked, looking at Bai Qi.


    “I’ll continue to watch for now, there’s no rush.”


    Bai Qi shrugged. Although the Elemental World sounded impressive, the ones summoned so far had been very ordinary. Who knew if it was like those gacha games, where the pool was filled with junk? He would wait until someone summoned a higher-grade bloodline.


    “Is that so? Ye Ge, you go first.”


    Ye Ge nodded, walked straight to the entrance of the Elemental World, and ced his palm on it.


    Immediately, sparks flew and a giant me bird appeared above Ye Ge’s head.


    “High-grade King, me Mausoleum Bird?”
