Enlightening the Beginning Qilin

Beginning Qilin

One hundred thousand years had passed in the Primordial World. Under the acceleration of the Chaos Shovel, Li Xinghe had effectively cultivated for a million years.

He had grasped over half of the one hundred twenty-nine thousand nine hundred Law Powers within the Laws of Time and Destiny, and had also refined over half of the restrictions on the Chaos Shovel and the Chaos Pearl.

He had expended a great deal of merit on this—somewhat wasteful, but the benefits were plentiful.

Once he fully refined these Chaos Supreme Treasures, crossing realms to challenge opponents would be effortless.

The Fierce Beast Tribulation was nearing its end. The Beast Emperor, Shen Ni, was also at Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and through his endless slaughter, he had already refined most of the God Slaying Spear.

In the current Primordial World, the Fierce Beasts reigned supreme, and all other races were severely oppressed.

According to the normal course of Primordial history, the Heavenly Dao would gradually awaken and support the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races, leading them to defeat the Fierce Beast Race.

The merit of saving the Primordial World would mostly fall upon the Three Primal Races.

How could Li Xinghe give up such a golden opportunity? He aspired to be the greatest schemer in the Primordial World—he had to act before anyone else and snatch that merit for himself.

"Maybe I should off one of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni's top generals first. I heard one of them is called Chaos—that name makes me uneasy!" Li Xinghe silently deduced.

The Chaos Pearl in his possession had been seized from a Chaos Demon God. If that demon god truly reincarnated, wouldn't that be dangerous?

Although he had used the Chaos Shovel to deduce countless times and had confirmed that Chaos had been reduced to nothing by Pangu's axe, he still couldn't rest easy.

"What a coincidence. It seems the Fierce Beast Chaos is leading an army to attack Buzhou Mountain. Isn't that just walking to his death?"

The Fierce Beast Tribulation had entered its final stage. The Four Fierce Beasts each led their armies to attack the stronger races of the Primordial World.

The Qilin Clan lived near Buzhou Mountain, and at that moment, the Fierce Beast Chaos was locked in battle with the Qilin Clan Leader.

Unfortunately, Chaos had already reached Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, while the Beginning Qilin was only at Early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Just as the Qilin Clan was about to be defeated, a pure white lotus suddenly bloomed on Buzhou Mountain.

Its holy aura made both sides of the battle gasp in awe.

But then, the Fierce Beasts bathed in the holy light let out miserable screams. Even Chaos couldn't help but show a pained expression.

Li Xinghe was also surprised. He hadn't expected the Twelve-Grade White Lotus of Purity to appear at this moment.

This was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of stabilizing an entire sect's fortune. Its power was naturally extraordinary.

This treasure truly lived up to its name of "Purity." The Fierce Beasts, born from baleful Sha energy, turned to ash the moment they touched the White Lotus's light.

"What a fine treasure. I want it." Though Chaos was somewhat affected, he was ecstatic.

Back when the five great Fierce Beasts fought for the Beast Emperor's throne, Shen Ni had only won by relying on the might of the God Slaying Spear. If Chaos also had an Innate Supreme Treasure, he wouldn't necessarily be weaker than Shen Ni.

"Don't even think about it. That belongs to my Qilin Clan!" The Beginning Qilin was furious. If Chaos obtained the White Lotus of Purity, the Qilin Clan would be finished.

Unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to the Fierce Beast Chaos, and he was sent flying with a single slap.

Just as Chaos excitedly approached the White Lotus of Purity, a voice suddenly rang out: "Do you dip your dumplings in soy sauce?"

"Huh?" Chaos was completely baffled.

From the shadows, Li Xinghe's murderous intent surged. "Chaos Shovel, you're so unreliable! You said Chaos was completely gone. Listen to that—his tone is exactly the same as the original Chaos Demon God!"

"Who's there? Get out here!" the Fierce Beast Chaos barked.

The next second, a ruler shot out from the void and smacked Chaos right on the ass.

"How dare you! You covet I's treasure—you've already chosen death." Li Xinghe said nothing more and immediately chased Chaos down, beating him relentlessly.

Not far away, the Beginning Qilin was stunned. This was one of the Four Fierce Beasts! In the current world, aside from the Beast Emperor Shen Ni, who could be his match?

Where did this person come from, to beat Chaos so badly he couldn't even fight back?

Soon, the Fierce Beast Chaos fell. Li Xinghe calmly withdrew his divine power. This was overkill—using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Against a Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he had already used the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, just to ensure this bastard was truly obliterated.

Not just his soul—Li Xinghe even secretly crushed his true spirit several times with his Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Now no one would ever covet his Chaos Pearl again.

As for the massive energy left by the Fierce Beast's original body, Li Xinghe stored it away with the Qiankun Cauldron. Perhaps he could refine some divine pills from it in the future.

"The Beginning Qilin pays respects to the Great God!" As the Qilin Clan Leader, he had no idea such a Big Boss was hidden on Buzhou Mountain.

Li Xinghe circled the Beginning Qilin. So this was the Qilin that would later represent auspiciousness—truly majestic.

The Beginning Qilin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, terrified that Li Xinghe might suddenly ask him if he dipped his dumplings in soy sauce.

In truth, Li Xinghe was also pondering how to deal with the Beginning Qilin. The Three Primal Races were the first living beings born in the Primordial World.

Later, during the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the three races declined. This was actually the Great Dao cleansing the traces of Pangu.

This included the later Witch-Demon Tribulation and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, which nearly wiped out the Witch Race and created rifts among the Three Pure Ones, ensuring Pangu's physical body and Primordial Spirit could never reunite.

"Beginning Qilin, the Fierce Beast Race plagues the Primordial World. I, on behalf of the Great God Pangu, hereby decree the Qilin Clan as the commanders of all Beasts in the Primordial World, to oppose the Fierce Beasts." Li Xinghe put on an air of profundity.

The Beginning Qilin was startled. Just who was this person? Representing Pangu? Could he be some top-tier Chaos Demon God, a great figure from the same era as Pangu?

But Li Xinghe's words reminded him—this was a golden opportunity for the Qilin Clan to soar!

"Thank you, Great God, for showing me the way!" The Beginning Qilin bowed with utmost reverence.

"I, Beginning Qilin, on behalf of the Qilin Clan, shall lead all Beasts of the primordial wilds to resist the Fierce Beast Race, restoring clarity to the world. Let the Great Dao bear witness!"

Sure enough, as soon as Beginning Qilin finished speaking, heavenly merit descended, and his cultivation instantly soared to Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The Qilin Clan also reaped gains, each breaking through their current realm.

Since the Heavenly Dao had not yet fully awakened and the Great Dao governed all, Li Xinghe, as the hidden hand behind this, naturally received a portion of the merit as well.

"This is way too easy!" Li Xinghe was thrilled. Though he hadn't broken through in cultivation, he had gained a fair amount of merit.

After all, he had not only enlightened Beginning Qilin but also personally slain Chaos, one of the Four Fierce Beasts.

Having broken through, Beginning Qilin looked at Li Xinghe again and found him even more unfathomable—perhaps even the Beast Emperor Shen Ni was no match for this man.

"Since you have already sworn the Great Dao Oath, go do what you must." Li Xinghe collected the Pure World White Lotus and vanished before Beginning Qilin.

This merit came too easily. It seemed he should find an opportunity to enlighten the Dragon and Phoenix Races as well.

He just wondered where Hongjun and Luohu were hiding, scraping by in some remote corner.

Even with the Chaos Shovel and his mastery of the Law of Time and the Law of Destiny, he could not deduce their whereabouts.

It could only mean they bore great destiny, or perhaps in the eyes of the Great Dao, both would be useful in the future, so it concealed their auras.

Without those two, the later Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation might never have erupted, or even if it did, it wouldn't have been so fierce as to shift the protagonists of this world.
