Seizing the Spirit Pearl, Ancient Beast Sneak Attack

Above the nine heavens, Lin Changqing stood atop the clouds. Behind him, a startling Devouring Black Hole seemed poised to swallow the sun, moon, and all the heavens clean. With a lift of his right hand, a spirit pearl fell into his grasp—the Savage Primordial Spirit Pearl.

The instant the Savage Primordial Spirit Pearl had emerged, Lin Changqing had sensed it. He immediately rushed over with the Great Teleportation Technique, yet he had not acted at once. Instead, he concealed himself amid the clouds and waited patiently.

Sure enough, once the struggle among the other Inner Disciples erupted, Lin Changqing finally seized the perfect opportunity. The Great Devouring Technique and Great Sealing Technique burst forth simultaneously, forcibly drawing the Savage Primordial Spirit Pearl into his possession.

"Truly a fine treasure. It contains astonishing primordial savage aura; it could probably only be nurtured on a star like this."

Lin Changqing studied the spirit pearl in his hand, sensing it carefully. His eyes shone with vigor, streaks of brilliance flashing within them. With a turn of his right hand, he stored away the Savage Primordial Spirit Pearl. A thought stirred, and he prepared to teleport back.

The Savage Primordial Spirit Pearl was already in hand. Next, he only needed to return to his original spot and lie in wait for the next one to emerge. Though a single pearl was enough to pass the assessment, Lin Changqing wanted to seize more.

It was not for his own use. He wanted to monopolize these Savage Primordial Spirit Pearls. That way, he could indirectly control this True Disciple assessment.

If everyone who ultimately passed the assessment this time was one of his people, the scene would surely be very lively.

Roar! Roar...

Suddenly, at that very moment, an unexpected change arose.

A beast's roar
