Chapter 246: Trial Of Desire ----- Fang Shuan walked across the Golden Mountain Range until he finally found his destination, an abandoned set of ruins composed of black and purple stone. The entrance was open; the gate had been shattered by what seemed to have been a single, incredibly strong punch. “Hah, that monster probably opened this place forcefully after it didn’t allow him entrance, huh?” Fang Shuan wondered. The Temple of One Hundred Demon Souls, according to what he had been told by the Heavenly Demon, is considered one of Bestia’s “Immemorial Treasures,” certain places, areas, or buildings within the world of Bestia that contain an immense quantity of Dao Particles and possess special abilities or effects. This Temple in particular, is said to have been made at the beginning of the world of Bestia by an ancient, now extinct race of beings that are considered the ancestors of all the beast tribes of Bestia, the Dokkaebi. The Dokkaebi were demon-like entities with many animal features, although chimeric. They possessed unparalleled comprehension of the Heavenly Dao compared to the new Beast Tribes, as they were born in an Era where the Nine Heavens existed and where countless rivers of Primordial Yin and Yang Ki flowed everywhere. Their legacy could be found all across Bestia, inheritances, ancient temples, Immemorial Treasures, and even in the many techniques and the bloodlines that every beast tribe possesses, which all descend from degenerated and weakened powers the Dokkaebi once wielded. “It sure has an intimidating Aura to it…” Fang Shuan muttered. “I’ve never visited another world similar to my own before to think they had such an Immemorial Treasure…” The Golden Emperor walked inside the temple, and as he stepped into the long corridor that led inside, torches with purple flames lit up one after another, eerily illuminating his path. “This…?” And the moment he reached the end, he found himself inside a large room; there were three sealed gates and the giant statue of a purple-colored lion in the middle. The lion was strange though, with the legs of a bird, two more heads, one of a wolf and a sheep, and the long tail that ended with a snake head. And of course, wings—bat-like wings. “A chimera of some sort? Was this… Is this how the Dokkaebi looked like?” Fang Shuan felt surprised, but to be fair, if they were rumored to be demon-like and chimeric, combining the many animal features that the beast tribes of Bestia had, then it made sense. “There’s something in their jaws.” Fang Shuan treaded carefully, noticing that each jaw had a purple jewel in it; they glowed brighter the more he walked forward. Once he touched one out of curiosity, as there were no manuals or anything telling him what to do. The statue’s eyes moved, looking down on him. “Ugh?!” He couldn’t get his hand out of the jewel anymore; no matter how hard he tried or pulled back, he couldn’t! “W-What is this- AARGH!” As the statue’s eyes glowed with purple flames, Fang Shuan screamed in agony as his soul was sucked inside the beast’s statue. The more it was sucked, the more painful it felt, and the three jewels slowly began glowing brighter. The statue finally stopped sucking and eating his soul once all three jewels were completely full, flaring with purple fire. “Ugh…!” He was finally freed, as he desperately pulled his hand away. “M-My soul…! What kind of excruciating pain is this?! It hurts so much!” Fang Shuan groaned in agony; he couldn’t cry as he was now a golem-like being, but he would if he could; the pain was sharp, like a thousand needles piercing a person’s hand. “Hahhh… W-Why did it do that? Is this how I’ll temper my soul?! Has that damned crow tricked me?!” However, before he could say anything else, a voice reverberated, coming from the three heads of the statue. “YOUR OFFERING HAS BEEN PAID. YOU MAY NOW ENTER THE FIRST DOOR OF SOUL TEMPERING… DO NOT LOSE YOURSELF IN THE PLEASURE OF CULTIVATING ONE’S SOUL, OR YOU MIGHT BRING YOUR O
