Big Black's Advancement and Awakening

As Shen Jingchuan responded, he released his Divine Sense and scanned the area towards the stables.

There was movement over there by Big Black. He hurried over, with Qingshu and Qinghua following behind.

When they arrived at the stables, everyone looked up and were stunned.

The cocoon that had been wrapped in Big Black was now completely translucent, as if it contained a ball of fire.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, turning the entire cocoon a deep red.

The next instant, with a loud bang, the ball of fire exploded.

The thick outer cocoon was completely burned away by a fire, turning into sparks that scattered in all directions.

In the firelight, Big Black pushed off the ground and jumped up.

Its fur was covered in shimmering flames, and faint flames seemed to dance on its body.

Then, the two fleshy growths on its shoulders suddenly opened, revealing a pair of large wings.

Upon seeing this, Shen Jingchuan shuddered and instinctively took half a step back.

What is this guy doing? Big Black had already flapped its wings and taken to the air.

It soared and danced in the air, exhilarated, then tilted its head back and let out a long, mournful cry.

The single horn on its head glowed eerily red, like a piece of burning charcoal.

What's most eye-catching is its pair of wings.

It was wide and long, and when it opened its mouth, it was a whole size bigger than Little Black and Treading Snow's, looking majestic.

He truly was the King of Horses back in the day.

After flying for quite a while, Big Black finally stopped and slowly landed. The flames on its body gradually faded away.

Shen Jingchuan went up to it, reached out, and stroked its neck.

"Big Black, how are you?"

Big Black snorted and nuzzled him with its head, its excitement was uncontrollable.

"Master, I'm fine!"

"I feel incredibly good, I have boundless energy!"

Shen Jingchuan smiled.

"Alright, then come out with me. Let's go for a walk and see what new skills you have."

Upon hearing this, Little Black and Treading Snow immediately came over.

"Master, I want to go too!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Shen Jingchuan nodded, then his gaze fell on Qingshu and Qinghua.

"Today, I'm taking you two out for some fun too."

Upon hearing this, the two little girls jumped up immediately, their eyes shining.

"Very good!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Shen Jingchuan gave an order to Little Black and Treading Snow.

"You two, take them with you."

Little Black and Treading Snow responded in unison.

"Yes, Master."

Qingshu and Qinghua happily mounted their horses.

Just as Shen Jingchuan was about to make a decision to lead everyone out, he suddenly stopped.

He remembered.

When he entered the space, he was in his own bedroom, and the Ring was still in the room.

If he were to take the person out directly, not only would the Ring not be on his hand, but it would also frighten his family.

"Wait a minute, everyone."

He gave a brief explanation to everyone, and then, with a single thought, he left the space.

In a flash, he was back in his bedroom.

He took the Ring, put it on his finger, and then put away the Spirit Gathering Formation in the room.

Only then did he quietly leave the room and enter the courtyard.

He summoned a flying sword, leaped up, stepped onto it, and rode the sword into the sky.

When they were halfway up the mountain, he had a sudden thought and released the three horses and two people.

In the darkness of night, three Pegasus horses appeared out of thin air and took flight.

Qingshu and Qinghua have already separated and are riding on the backs of Little Black and Treading Snow.

This was the first time the two of them had ever flown like this.

They didn't know how to fly on swords yet, but now, riding on horseback and looking at the night scenery around them, they were filled with both novelty and joy, and couldn't stop smiling.

Shen Jingchuan leaped up and landed steadily on Big Black's back.

He patted Big Black's neck.

"Come on, my darling, let's go for a drive."

Big Black raised its head, let out a neigh, flapped its wings, and soared directly into the higher night sky.

It was dark now, and the fields were vast and boundless.

Shen Jingchuan released his Divine Sense, spreading it out in all directions, as if afraid of bumping into some mountain peak.

Behind them, Little Black and Treading Snow followed closely.

When it comes to flying speed, Little Black has to be the best.

She had already awakened the Divine Ability of speed; with each flap of her wings, she was fast and swift, surpassing even ordinary flying Demon Beasts.

Although Big Black had the strongest momentum and charged the highest, in terms of pure speed, it was still slightly outpaced by Little Black.

One man, three horses, and two little girls soared through the night against the wind.

Actually, Shen Jingchuan's caution was somewhat unnecessary.

Currently, all three horses are already second-tier Demon Beasts.

Each of them possessed Divine Sense, and their flight at night was no different from that during the day.

There's no need for him to worry so much, as if he's afraid of running into something.

We arrived at a remote mountain, where a dark, looming peak was bathed in moonlight.

Shen Jingchuan patted Big Black and pointed to the hilltop.

"Big Black, show me all your current Divine Ability."

Big Black responded, excitedly flapping its wings and rushing towards the hilltop.

Upon reaching the summit, it lowered its head and flicked its single horn.

A flash of fire appeared on the corner, and with a roar, a large area of flames descended, covering a diameter of about one mile.

The fire ignited as soon as it touched the trees, and spread rapidly along the mountainside.

Flames shot into the sky, and the birds and beasts on the mountain, startled, scattered and fled.

Shen Jingchuan called out immediately.

"Alright, Treading Snow, Ta Xue, quick, put out the fire!"

Treading Snow chuckled, flapped her wings, and flew forward.

"Alright, watch this."

She lowered her single horn and exhaled a blast of cold air downwards.

The sky over there suddenly turned cold.

Then, snow began to fall from the sky, fluttering down like goose feathers.

The fire underneath hissed and crackled when it encountered the ice and snow, taking a full ten minutes to be completely extinguished.

Shen Jingchuan communicated with Big Black using his Divine Sense.

"My darling, what you've awakened is fire?"

Big Black was very pleased with himself.

"Yes, Master."

"My fire is extraordinary; it's a divine fire of heaven and earth, though I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Anyway, it's incredibly powerful. Just how powerful? You saw it for yourself."

Shen Jingchuan clicked his tongue, looking at the scorched mountain.

"That's fierce."

And so, they flew through the night sky for almost half an hour.

The night wind howled, and under the bright moonlight, the sea of clouds surged. Everyone had a great time, and Big Black had become completely familiar with his own body.

Shen Jingchuan checked the time; it was about time. He turned his horse around and headed back towards Azure Cloud Stronghold.

We reached the airspace above the courtyard.

With a thought, he put the three horses, along with the two little girls who were still not satisfied, into his spatial storage.

Shen Jingchuan returned to the courtyard alone. He checked his watch; it was almost midnight. He thought to himself that he should go back to the modern world, and now was the perfect time.

Firstly, there were some things he still needed to take care of, and secondly, he really hadn't been back for a long time.

Shen Jingchuan returned to his room. As soon as he entered, Yue'er had just completed a full Greater Celestial Circuit, opened her eyes on the bed in the outer room.

She looked up, saw him, her eyes lit up, and she giggled.

"Young Master, why did it take you so long... to finally decide to come back?"

Shen Jingchuan walked over and gently stroked the bridge of her nose.

"You chatterbox, Yue'er, I might have to go into seclusion for a long time."

"If it's nothing important, don't come to my room and leave me alone. I'll come out by myself when I'm done, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Yue'er immediately sat up straight and nodded emphatically.

"Young master, don't worry. I'll be right at the door, keeping watch for you. No one will be allowed in."
