Chapter 1796 - 26: The Plan to Cultivate the Ancient Ancestor Insect

The four large characters exuded a sense of the passage of time.

Lin Feng looked at this Cave Mansion, feeling quite surprised. Is this really an Immortal Mansion?

Some cultivators always like to give themselves more grandiose titles.

Like those powerful figures in the Demon Dao, they like to call themselves Demon Emperors, but in reality, the strength of those powerful figures in the Demon Dao is at most only God Realm, far from Emperor Realm.

Sometimes when naming their Cave Mansion or Magical Treasures, they also like to choose names that sound rather extraordinary.

Is the Bibo Immortal Mansion before us one of those?

Is it an Immortal Mansion left by an Immortal?

Or is it just a simple name?

Lin Feng planned to first break through the Great Array and explore inside to find out the truth.

The Great Array here is very complex, and even has an Emperor Pattern as the core of the Great Array.

However, as time passed.

The power of the Great Array could no longer compare to before.

So breaking it wasn’t as difficult as imagined.

It took about a day.

He successfully broke the Great Array.

...

Then he entered the Immortal Mansion.

First, a passageway, about a hundred meters long.

The end of the passageway connects to a mountain belly.

This mountain belly covers about four or five hundred square meters.

A few stone rooms were carved into the rock wall of the mountain belly.

Lin Feng entered the first stone room and found a stone bed inside, along with simple tables and chairs, nothing else.

Then Lin Feng explored the other stone rooms, finding that the rest were also empty.

"This Immortal Mansion has been cleared out!"

Lin Feng was a bit depressed.

Only the last stone room had not been examined, but this stone room was sealed with prohibitions.

This surprised Lin Feng.

Why is the stone room sealed with prohibitions? Could there be some precious treasure inside?

Or perhaps.

Is something being sealed away?

A long time has passed.

Even if something terrible was sealed, it’s probably dead by now.

The prohibitions on the stone room were much more complicated than those outside the Cave Mansion.

It took Lin Feng a full five days to break the stone room’s prohibitions.

He pushed open the Stone Gate.

And entered the stone room.

The air here was rather murky, and stepping on the ground made a crunching sound.

He looked down to find densely packed thumb-sized poisonous insects.

These poisonous insects had the head of a bat, the tail of a scorpion, the wings of a dragon, and wolf-like fangs.

...

"These are Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats!" exclaimed the Black Bear Demon Monarch upon seeing the swarms of insect corpses on the ground.

"Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats? What are those?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

The Black Bear Demon Monarch explained, "In the Immortal Ancient Era, there were ten great poisonous insects, one of which was called the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat. The venom of a single Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat could easily kill a Giant God Realm expert!"

"Hiss!"

Lin Feng gasped.

The venom of these Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats is too terrifying, isn’t it?

At this moment, standing inside this stone room, Lin Feng felt a slight chill in his body.

He wanted to leave quickly and seal the stone room back up.

Afraid that there might still be living Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats.

But then he remembered that this stone room was likely sealed during the Immortal Ancient Era, and it was impossible for Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats to survive until now, so he felt more at ease.

He remarked, "These Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats are just too terrifying!"

The Black Bear Demon Monarch said, "There are many inexplicable species in this world, but creatures as heaven-defying as the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat had already become extinct by the mid-stage of the Immortal Ancient Era."

"Were so many Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats sealed inside by the owner of this Cave Mansion at the time?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but rub his chin.

"It shouldn’t be a seal! I think it’s more of breeding the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats!" the Black Bear Demon Monarch replied.

"What do you mean?" Lin Feng asked.

"Look up there, those hive-like structures are the venom nests of the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats. They have a special living habit of excreting their produced venom in the venom nests!"

The Black Bear Demon Monarch said.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Lin Feng took down one of the venom nests and cut it open.

But inside the venom nest, there was no longer any venom.

The Black Bear Demon Monarch explained, "The venom of the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat is also one of its food sources. Given that these creatures have been trapped here for so long, the poison must have been consumed by now."

"Could the owner of this Cave Mansion have been an Evil Cultivator? Only an Evil Cultivator would know how to breed such a terrifying creature as the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat, right?" Lin Feng pondered.

"That’s likely the case!"

The Black Bear Demon Monarch continued, "Back in the day, the Chonglou Demon Emperor once obtained the insect eggs of the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat but tried as he might, he couldn’t hatch them. So breeding Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats is challenging. When the owner of this Cave Mansion left, I estimate the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats were at a critical breeding stage, so he didn’t take them away, perhaps intending to return one day and retrieve them. But it seems, the person never returned, and the newly bred Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats, lacking food, eventually died!"

"I wonder if there are any insect eggs?"

Lin Feng mused aloud, taking down all dozens of venom nests.

He then cut open all the poisonous nests but couldn’t find any insect eggs, leaving him quite disappointed.

The Black Bear Demon Monarch remarked, "Don’t be disappointed, these Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat corpses are valuable!"

"What use are these corpses?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

"Aren’t you cultivating the Ancient Ancestor Insect Eggs?" the Black Bear Demon Monarch asked.

Lin Feng nodded.

"The Ancient Ancestor Insect, ranked third among Divine Insects of the Ancient Era, is not easily bred. Moreover, you don’t know how to cultivate the Ancient Ancestor Insect Eggs, so it’s even more challenging. But with these Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat corpses, it’s different. Within each corpse is condensed powerful energy essence, perfect for the Ancient Ancestor Insect Eggs to absorb."

The Black Bear Demon Monarch explained.

"They’ve been dead for so long, surely the energy has dissipated?" Lin Feng questioned.

The Black Bear Demon Monarch replied, "No, it won’t dissipate. The body structure of the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat is very unique. Its dense carapace seals the energy inside, preventing its loss. Furthermore, the energy from Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bats is uniquely beneficial as a supreme supplement for other insects. You’ve likely heard that breeding insect lifeforms often involves having them consume each other to produce stronger insects, even birthing an Insect King."

"Having the Ancient Ancestor Insect Eggs swallow the energy essence of the Dragon Scorpion Wolf Bat equates to inter-insect consumption and evolution. In fact, it’s not just insects; many fierce beasts also hunt other beasts, even cultivators, to consume their bloodlines, enhancing their own Bloodline Power. With so many poisonous insects, you should be able to successfully hatch the Ancient Ancestor Insect."

"I heard the Ancient Ancestor Insect can rival a Great Emperor! If it can be cultivated, having an additional Emperor Level guardian by my side would be incredible!"

Lin Feng eagerly exclaimed.
