--- Chapter 357 ---
The appearance of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect didn't stop just at Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Luo Empire also learned about this mysterious sect, but the Star Luo Emperor made no move and merely observed from afar.
The reason? The Star Luo Empire currently cannot afford to focus on too many conflicts because of an important secret project.
As for what it was? That's for the future to unfold!
Anyway, now that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect made its appearance on the Douluo Continent, it has also issued an opening ceremony and invited every major party to attend it.
Yet, surprisingly, the Dao Academy, which has closed its gates for a few months, also accepted this invitation. It led every major party to agree to attend.
Ultimately, the sensation made by Dao Academy and its 'strongest' genius hasn't died down.
Han Yuan's resounding feat has spread to every corner of the Douluo Continent, and many young spirit masters admired and even made him their role model.
Twelve-year-old Spirit King is too shocking, after all.
Even ten thousand years, no, twenty thousand years later, reaching such a realm at a young age still made one a prodigy.
Only thirty thousand years later, when the series entered the interstellar age, did such an achievement become somewhat unique.
However, in the current era, Han Yuan's talent and achievement are truly one of a kind!
At the same time, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who knew how deep the Dao Academy's background was, couldn't help but become suspicious of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's background.
They knew Han Yuan was an inheritor of Thunder God and also a shrewd young man who wouldn't make such a random move. Whether it was Dao Meeting or his profound theories, each manifested from layer upon layer of considerations.
So, they wondered if the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had something to do with him.
Since Han Yuan hasn't returned to the Dao Academy for a while, and kept the matter of alliance with the Star Dou Forest with a few people, Qian Renxue could only guess it.
Of course, Qian Renxue could have just asked Thirteen about what Han Yuan had been doing all this time, but she doesn't want to put her nose into his personal affairs too much. She likes Han Yuan, but at the same time, she knew that she shouldn't disturb him either.
Unbeknownst to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, they made a correct guess about the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, though not entirely correct.

The day of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's opening is near. Many envoys from various forces arrived at the Sky Rending Mountain, where the sect built, and looked upon the towering peak shaped like an eagle's beak.
Standing before the mysterious peak, many envoys couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. While the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's reputation has yet to be 'fully' revealed, knowing such a sect has three Title Douluos gave them a kind of deterrence.
Moreover, this mountain peak seemed to be alive, or perhaps possessed vitality, if they had to describe it. It was a weird sensation, too, as if the mountain was gazing at them.
And in fact, they aren't wrong!
'Tsk, using a Ferocious Spirit Beast whose age is over 200,000 years old as the Sect Base, how luxurious...' Among the perplexed crowd of envoys, the representative of the Dao Academy, Liu Erlong, is gazing straight at the eagle's beak-shaped peak.
After a few months of secluded training and quick adaptation to the Dou Techniques, Liu Erlong's cultivation has soared, and she is at least five times stronger than she was before Han Yuan sent his split soul to the Dou Qi Plane.
As for why such a big improvement, let's say the energy circulation node and manipulation through the adjusted Dou Techniques that Han Yuan made to fit the Douluo Plane is even better than your standard 10,000-year-old spirit rings' abilities.
Moreover, mastering the Dou Technique is simply a matter of training and comprehension. On top of that, Han Yuan also discovered something that makes Spirit Master somewhat superior to your typical Dou Fighter.
This discovery is also why Liu Erlong is currently a Level 96 Title Douluo, no, a Super Douluo! And that's just her cultivation; her fighting prowess is no less than that of a Level 99 Limit Douluo!
Liu Erlong glanced at the hidden figure in the corner of her eyes, "Hmph, she's here, too."
"Welcome, guests from afar!" A booming voice echoed from the mountain, and everyone looked up to notice a burly-looking man wearing a washed-out brown martial attire made of beast hide, giving them an unfathomable feeling.
"My name is Ju Fuya, the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Beast Sect, a Level 96 Super Douluo titled 'Sly Dragon' Douluo."
"I hereby welcome all of you to my sect!"
After saying that, a string of spirit rings appeared around Ju Fuya, leaving the crowd stunned. The first seven spirit rings are that of an optimal spirit ring configuration, consisting of two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings.
However, the last two spirit rings gave them a scare.
Red! Two crimson spirit rings, radiating with a beastly glare!
Just standing before these spirit rings alone gave most envoys cause for fear for their lives.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Ju Fuya smiled faintly and unsummoned his spirit rings. "Please follow me to the sect."
The envoys stared at Ju Fuya's back in daze because this supposed Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Beast Sect just appeared out of nowhere and then intimidated the crap out of them.
They wanted to be angry, but the deterrence of two 100,000-year-old spirit rings is just too much. They could only bury their frustration and follow Ju Fuya to the sect.
As soon as they followed Ju Fuya to the mountain, they were 'suddenly' welcomed with a sight of standing above the clouds. The sound of the waterfall crashing down also filled their ears.
"Disperse!" Ju Fuya waved his hand, sweeping the clouds and allowing everyone to fully witness the wild paradise where the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was 'naturally' built.
Green mountain hill ridges, occupied by countless spirit beasts from all kinds of species, and various cultivations.
Some young flying spirit beasts flew past them, some stubborn ground spirit beasts fought on the grass plain, and some water spirit beasts swam lazily in a slow-running river.
Hiss!
The envoys sucked a cold breath in awe. If they haven't caught sight of some ancient building on the wall of those cliffs near them, they might wonder if they have entered some spirit beast habitat.
Yet, the shocks are far from over.
One envoy noticed a glaringly massive spirit beast, standing on two feet like a human, but much more muscular and furry in appearance.
"K-King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape!" He shouted while pointing with a trembling hand.
Everyone immediately moved their gazes and was also stunned by the appearance of the Titan Giant Ape.
Not only that, but any envoys above Spirit Saints also sensed something more terrifying.
"A 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast!"
The spirit beast in question dug his nose and glanced at them, "What are you looking at, huh? Haven't seen such a handsome ape like me before?!"
"It talked! It really is a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape!" Some envoys trembled like scared children.
Ju Fuya chuckled and confidently declared, "Let me introduce you to Kong, a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape, and also my Ten Thousand Beast Sect's Guardian Beast!"
"Yo, the name is Kong! I am the boss ape around here!" The Titan Giant Ape growled, patting his massive chest a few times, leaving everyone speechless.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The loud booming drum-like sounds echoed throughout the entire sect, pulling everyone back to reality.
Then, they cursed in their minds.
'Damn it! What kind of sect is this?! Why do you have a 100,000-year-old spirit beast as your Sect Guardian!'
