Sam is looking at the rubble of the statue in a daze and so were the remaining two.

At that exact moment, a voice came from the tunnel bringing them back to their senses.

"We will take it from here, thanks for discovering this. We are extremely grateful.

"

They turned around and saw five people coming out of the tunnel and entering the room.

He recognized them instantly, they are the Nascent stage team of the Beast faction and they are actually the reserve team. The main team couldn't make it to this place because they are injured by Moriya completely.

He also saw the woman who delivered the token to him at the resource competition. Sam and his friends became extremely vigilant.

These guys came here as if they marked this place. The nascent team's time barely started a few hours ago and here they are.

Sam looked around for an escape route. He doesn't have much interest in the techniques that are in the place as he had so many of them inside the tower. He doesn't want to fight with these people.

He has to make preparations for his visit to the beast faction and he is in the middle of his preparations, he doesn't want to waste his time on healing after having a dangerous fight with them.

As for dying here or losing the fight, that thought never crossed his mind at all.

Sam immediately took out some methane grenades and threw them towards the group. As soon as they blasted, the team which was dispersed to avoid the grenades could feel the wind whistling and they could see a streak of Blacklight creating a line in the dust which was raised due to the blast. Before the dust even settled, Sam was already out on his harbinger with two of his friends hanging on both of his hands.

He didn't stop and just moved as fast as he can towards, the place where their beasts are mounted. The Nascent stage cultivators didn't get hurt much and only had some superficial burns on their skins.

After the dust settled, they didn't go after Sam. Although they really wanted to kill him, they have much more important stuff to do.

They heard what the spirit said and was extremely excited. This whole room has hundreds of statues, which makes them hundreds of techniques, although they didn't get to see what the face of the silhouette is, they think that it is one of the founder members of the faction, who died during the great war and left this during his last days. After all, this mountain was a grave of many people.

Particularly, the north-western side. They heard that many people from their faction died at that place in the ancient war.

So, they started collecting all the cylindrical containers one by one. But they sensed a problem and that is, it is impossible to place the containers in the spatial ring, but the statues are going in. So, they placed all the statues in the spatial ring and then tried to place the containers inside the beast pouches which actually worked.

So, they shoved everything inside their beast pouches, even Sanjay's sister, who is a bit mad and confused about the sudden ambush on Sam without her knowledge forgot to ask her teammates about it and was busy collecting all the containers.

After that, they didn't dare stay on the island and went back to the Beast faction.

Their treasure was too precious and they couldn't wait to take it back to the faction and claim enough credit for that.

When they returned, there was quite a commotion in the faction as soon as they revealed the news about the treasure.

In the court of the Beast faction, the faction-head and all the other core members are gathered.

Sanjay is also there. When they looked at the neatly placed cylindrical containers on a row of tables, they were stunned and when they heard the explanation of the five members, they were even shocked to the point, their mouths were opened wide as if they are idiots.

"Test it.

" The faction-head asked their artisan, who took a container in his hands and started checking it. First, he tried to see, if he could trigger any mechanism, but he didn't dare to use force, if it was destroyed, his life would be doomed.

After trying for more than half-an-hour, he nearly came up with nothing, even the metal is not something he is familiar with.

"There are too many restrictions, which are restricting my spiritual sense to check inside. There are so many inscriptions and formations inscribed on it.

"

The formation took over as soon as he heard this and he probed the restrictions a bit. His face beamed with a smile of excitement.

"Incredible.

" He gasped in awe as he looked at the container.

"What is it?

" The faction head asked kind of impatiently.

The formation master came out of his daze and said.

"The one who made this container is a man of great skills, there are more than thirty formations etched on it. He must be an excellent formation master and an inscription master. He created a large restriction array by stacking each of them on one another. He has an excellent understanding of formations and inscriptions. In the current era, there is almost no one who could do so with etching…

"

The faction-head didn't bother to listen to the rest of the words as they are completely related to the trade, which he was not exactly familiar with. He walked out of the room real -quick and went into a secret room, where there were a bunch of scrolls arranged in the racks. He took the scrolls on the topmost rack with a wave of hands and read the details.

He already knew the details in it and so does all the major powers, this is a story of a founder member of the Beast faction, but he is not the founder of the four families, rather the fifth member, the only one who left no descendants, but only a disciple. The greatest genius of the beast faction in that era.

He is a genius in many trades and that includes his research in the study of beasts and their natures, formations, inscriptions, and many others.

The Beast faction is one of the younger six major powers, it was founded a lot later than the first three powers.

Before that, this man, the fifth founder member is a solo cultivator who is extremely famous, he was basically a pioneer in beast studies, in fact, he could be considered as the pioneer of this planet's zoology. He has traveled all over the planet and records about him are present in all the powers as his teachings and theories were never privatized before the establishment of the beast faction.

So, all the factions have a record or two about him in their library and it is not even secret as it mostly related to the basic knowledge of beasts, their favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions, and many other things.

After confirming some facts about him, he was again reassured about the whole container thing and believed it is from their founder.

He went back to the court and he could see that the remaining containers are left untouched, they didn't dare to touch them without his permission. That is his hold over the faction as the faction-head.

He walked smugly as he took this as a stroke to his inflated ego and took his seat and spoke seriously.

"According to our ancestral records, there is a high possibility that this is left behind by our fifth founder member. But we can never be too careful.

" He looked at the attendant, and the latter walked forward and picked a container that has a symbol of the tiger typed beast.

He held the container in his hands and closed his eyes, as he gently injected his spiritual energy.

*Click* A gentle click could be heard from the container and they could feel some sort of metallic movement inside. He stopped the spiritual energy flow and the sound of the metallic movement was reduced to a minimum, he could barely feel it through his touch, he couldn't even hear it properly.

He injected the spiritual energy again and the sound increased again. He explained the whole thing to the rest of the people and they became extremely excited.

The Faction-head was also delighted by this news. Since, he could confirm that it was from their founder and if their assumption of the sound being the progress of opening the container, then they could have more than two hundred life-saving arts with the main requirement being patient.

And which cultivator doesn't have patience, it would be developed over time, due to their life spans. Everyone who cultivated for more than the Nascent stage would have their life span increased and they would become extremely laid back and takes the days passing as one of the trivial things.

They would wait for years to learn an art that could save their lives.

The Faction examined all the containers and noticed that there are arts for almost all kinds of beast cultivators in their faction.

Many people are already staring at the containers with greed in their eyes as they searched for the container suitable for them.

The Faction-head cleared his throat and said.

"We will be distributing these to all our core members. They will be given a container based on their merits till now and their rankings. If there are two or more people who are eyeing the same container, then it could be settled with a duel or any fair means agreed by both parties. In three days distribute every last one of them.

"

After he gave the instructions, he looked at the whole cluster of the cylinders and his eyes lit up when he saw the one, he needed. He picked it up and went on his way.

"You three, come with me.

" Just as he was about to leave the room, he turned around and called three of the five team members.

The three of them followed him instantly and when they reached a secluded corridor, he asked them.

"Now, tell me. Have you dealt with Sam? Did that guy from the thunder god temple give you the information?

"

"Sir, we got the location and we chased him, but..

"

As he was hesitating, the faction-head grew impatient and looked at him coldly making him speak.
