Chapter 384: Tempest Valley
Sai was surprised. He didn't expect that Sam needs a beast. He felt that this is his chance. He can at least use this as a chip to score a conversation with Sam.
After all, he wasn't sure that Sam would make a conversation with Sanjay, even if he was sent there.
Sanjay could get killed even before he gets a chance. Their enmity looked pretty serious in the beast faction.
Sai came out of his thoughts and said.
"Thanks for the information, is there any way that I can repay you?"
Stephen started thinking whether he should take materialistic advantage of the situation or not and after a few seconds, Stephen said.
"I don't need anything. I just hope you believe us. Association is under a lot of pressure since Old One's incident. That's all I could ask for."
He got up and left right after speaking. He decided that it would be better if he didn't try to fleece the beast faction. He might as well forge a good relationship with them. The major powers will go ballistic when they come to know about Sam's plans and there is a high chance that they might try to take it out on the space gate association.
It would be a plus point if they have a major staying neutral at least.
Stephen gave the coordinates token and the returning scroll before leaving.
Sai took both the items and excitedly went out. First, he gave both of them to Sanjay and went to Space gates to go to the central continent.
Whatever Stephen said to Sam is exactly right. There are many beast tribes he had connections with and there is a layer of personal connection with him above the connection he obtained due to the faction.
He dealt with them so many times and he brought the young prodigies of the faction many times to meet them to get their beast companions.
The task is easy for him.
But he was stumped when he just reached the central continent.
He was confused about which beast he has to take and remembered Stephen's words.
He has to find a beast that has an element other than what Sam has.
He started recalling from the information he has on Sam on what elements Sam uses and then came a shock.
Sam's go-to element is mostly fire and wind. Apart from that, he can use the light element. From the info, he gained he was said to be a water element user also. Apart from that at the meeting, they saw him using the dark element as he caught the spirit that was being enchanted to his robe.
Sam is using five elements.
All this while, the major powers and the heads of the major powers are too focused too much on Sam's achievements and his prowess they completely ignored the thing about the element he used and the cultivation technique he cultivated.
Now that he thought about it, he is even wondering why Sam even wants a beast and that too why he needs a beast that doesn't have an element that he would use.
He was extremely puzzled and curious.
He was also surprised at the fact that the heads and the Grand elders of this many major powers chose to ignore such valuable information.
How can Sam even wield that many elements? He felt that he has to conduct a thorough investigation of the matter.
But currently, he still has to finish what he came here for. He felt that he should get Sam a beast that could even be a symbol of pride. A beast that cannot be obtained by normal means. Something only him, Sai can get.
After some time he decided to use one of his long-lasting connections and started making his way there.
He moved towards one of the dangerous locations that were discovered in the central continent.
That place is called the Tempest valley.
It is a valley where lightning strikes all over the year.
No one, not even a consummate realm cultivator can come to this place. Even the head of the thunder god temple, who is a lightning user will shit his pants with the concentration of the lightning at the center of the valley.
The most important problem is that the color of the lightning. It is Silvery white. Almost white. The lighting intensity is far more than what the purple and blue lightning they saw until now.
The major powers discovered this place for the obvious attention the lightning gathers and some of them even sent people to investigate. The thunder god temple sent most people there and also that is a major power that lost most people there.
It was discovered when the current heads are still young and many of them entered the valley at that time.
Sai is obviously one of them. And he was one of the people who reached the center of the valley and came out alive.
In fact, one of only two people. Many people would think that he is some kind of great fighter, but no. He was carried. Carried by one of the strongest people he ever has known.
Sam's father. In fact, the connection he is using currently also belongs to Sam's father.
Sam's father is a lightning element user. Which the rest of the world doesn't know until he showed his rage on the beast faction.
Until then he only used a sword and a Fanged wolf as his pet. Fanged wolf one of the creatures with the strongest bloodlines on the planet.
Everyone thought that it was his contracted beast as a beast warrior.
But only Sai knew that it is not true. That wolf is just his pet, his contracted beast is something else. Even on that day, he didn't reveal his beast because it didn't stay with him in the last days of his life.
Sai felt his vision turning blurry. He shook his head and deleted his thoughts and walked inside the valley.
He took out small strands of white hair and the lightning didn't strike him. He stepped forward without any restrictions.
But just before he was about to enter the center of the valley, an old voice halted him in his tracks.
"Why are you here kid? I remember saying that the people from your faction are not welcomed here. Seems like you don't take things seriously or do you think that I wouldn't hold my end of the word."
Sai trembled at the aura that was coming from the center, he could see the faint silhouette of the beast within the dense lightning.
That's right, it is the beast that is talking. But not all the beasts at the consummate realm can speak. From what Sai know, the creature that is in the center of the lightning is the strongest creature on the planet and its cultivation is beyond the consummate realm.
"I have something to ask?" Sai replied carefully.
The Old voice snorted and replied.
"There is nothing I want to talk to you pr any of the faction members for that matter. Don't piss me off. It is better if you leave now or I would really level your faction."
Sai took a deep breath, the other party is not willing to listen to whatever he has to say, so he has to think of another option.
After some thought, he took out a few recording crystals and started showing the videos.
"Why are you not mov.."
The old voice once again reminded him to move but stopped in the middle as he saw the first video clip.
It is the clip of Sam and his battles.
There are many videos in them, regarding the battles he had in former Orion and it even included the battle with Sanjay at the beast faction.
Sai waited until the videos are over and said.
"His son."
"What is his name? Where does he live? How old is he?" The Old voice sounded like a long lost relative.
Sai sat down on the ground and started explaining everything he knew about Sam.
The beast felt like a grandparent as it heard all about Sam's journey and showed all kinds of emotional reactions.
He was angry when he heard Sam was being suppressed, he was ecstatic when heard about Sam beating the crap out of his peers. He is brimming with pride when he heard about Sam killing Old One and almost killing Sravan.
He was outraged when he heard Sam was threatened by the major powers and he was way over his head when he heard that Sam threatened them in return.
The best part is when he heard about Sam ripping the beast faction apart.
The beast surprisingly showed more emotions towards Sam, than any other person on the planet has ever done.
Sam came to this world alone and apart from the beasts and his three friends, there is no one who would show any form of affection, even the subordinates only show respect.
Sai felt like Sam would be happy to know that someone is showing familial love towards him.
