The Three Beasts Divide Labor and Patrol the Islands to Search for Treasure

Dragons, phoenixes, and qilin were once the supreme three races that scorned the Primordial World and controlled it. They were incredibly arrogant, so why are they now willingly serving as mounts?

It wasn't because Beichen was too strong, causing them to vie for the position of his mount.

The root of all this was the Dragon-Phoenix Initial Tribulation!

During this great tribulation, the three races accumulated too much karma from slaughter, incurring the suppression and scorn of the Heavenly Dao.

After the tribulation, the surviving remnants, with less than one in ten remaining, struggled to survive in the Primordial World. Although they hid from the world, they still encountered many dangers.

Because they had incurred the Heavenly Dao's displeasure and were burdened by karma, their cultivation became extremely difficult, and advancing their realms was even harder.

To resolve this predicament, the best method was to rely on a being with a powerful origin, becoming their mount to offset the karma surrounding them, allowing them to exist safely in the Primordial World and perhaps secure a future.

If they couldn't find such a powerful reliance, they could only survive with great difficulty, left to their own devices, and who knew when they would be slain by a cultivator stronger than themselves, meeting a tragic end.

After the Dragon-Phoenix Initial Tribulation, the ancestor of the dragon race, Ancestor Dragon, disappeared without a trace.

The ancestor of the phoenixes, Primeval Phoenix, willingly submitted to become Nuwa's mount. The ancestor of the qilin, Shi Qilin, was defeated by Fu Xi with the Taiji Diagram and willingly became his mount and guardian, all to eliminate the karma of killing and retain a place for himself in the Primordial World.

Following the actions of Primeval Phoenix and Shi Qilin, the three remnant races emulated them. In an instant, it became the quickest and most effective way to resolve the karma of the three races!

And with the ancestors leading the way, these three remnant beasts would follow suit, vying to become Beichen's mounts, thereby dissolving their karma and reaping infinite benefits!

Beichen, who understood the historical facts of the Primordial World clearly, naturally knew the intentions of these three beasts.

He had already decided who would be his mount, but he feigned deep thought, putting on a troubled expression.

Ling Cair, Mo Yuan, and Yan Lie watched Beichen nervously, awaiting his decision!

"Alright, all three of you are excellent!"

"All three of you beasts are outstanding survivors from the Dragon-Phoenix Great Tribulation, and your status among your respective races is incredibly high. Whoever becomes my mount is qualified!"

"So?"

Mo Yuan's eyes blazed with desire, and a hint of confidence emanated from him.

He believed that the dragon race was majestic and powerful, and a being with a strong origin like Beichen would surely choose him, Mo Yuan, as his mount based on his imposing presence!

The qilin Yan Lie was also somewhat confident. Qilin were auspicious creatures, renowned throughout the Primordial World. If not him, then who else?

On the other hand, Ling Cair's delicate face was somewhat solemn. Compared to dragons and qilin, the phoenix race's aura seemed a bit weaker.

"So, I choose Ling Cair as my mount!" Beichen smiled slightly. "Cair, as my mount, you no longer need to call me benefactor; you may call me Master from now on!"

"Ah?" Ling Cair was taken aback.

Mo Yuan and Yan Lie both swallowed hard. "This... shouldn't it be one of us? Why did you choose Ling Cair?"

"Master, could you tell us why you chose Ling Cair as your mount instead of one of us?" Yan Lie asked, full of doubt.

"Oh, I don't like riding male beasts; I prefer riding females!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Cair's delicate face immediately flushed, no longer appearing so pale.

"Ah!" Mo Yuan and Yan Lie gasped. "So that's how it is! We miscalculated, we miscalculated!"

"What's wrong? Cair, are you not accepting the position of mount?" Beichen's gaze softened slightly.

"Oh, Master, Ling Cair swears to the Heavenly Dao, willingly becoming your mount, serving you across the world for all eternity!"

Ling Cair knelt on one knee, cupped her fists, and took the oath.

Buzz!

Instantly, a torrent of karmic power descended, and a subtle karmic connection formed between Ling Cair and Beichen.

At the same time, Ling Cair's aura surged, no longer subject to the Heavenly Dao's suppression!

"Ah?"

Mo Yuan and Yan Lie were astonished and envious upon seeing this.

Ling Cair had truly recognized a master, and Beichen would help her bear a portion of her karma.

And Beichen would continuously expend it, completely dissolving this karma!

"Alright, this matter is settled. The three of you beasts shall remain here on the Three Immortal Islands. You may utilize the resources of the Three Immortal Islands to cultivate and improve your cultivation!"

As he spoke, the oppressive dominance that had been placed upon Mo Yuan and Yan Lie was lifted, and they felt a sense of relief.

At this moment, the two also discovered that within the Three Immortal Islands, the Heavenly Dao's suppression on them was at least dozens of times weaker than outside.

Although the Heavenly Dao could still suppress them through karma, that suppression had been greatly reduced.

"Yes, please instruct us on specific matters, Master!"

Beichen pondered for a moment and said, "I have one more thing to emphasize!"

"Since the three of you beasts are under my command, you shall cease your hostilities from now on and must not become enemies. Whether you are on my island or outside the Three Immortal Islands, you are all family. Help each other in times of need."

"Whoever dares to disobey, I will show no mercy, and I will strike them down directly, banishing their souls to the Nine Netherworlds, never to be reincarnated!"

"Yes, we will strictly abide by Master's teachings! We would never dare to act presumptuously!" the three said in unison.

"Good!" Beichen looked at Ling Cair. "The phoenix race does not perch on anything but the Wutong tree, nor do they settle in ordinary places. Ling Cair must be skilled at treasure hunting, right?"

"Yes, Master!"

"Within these Three Immortal Islands lie countless rare treasures, even innate spiritual treasures and supreme treasures, hidden away. I, this humble Daoist, have no time to search for them. The task of treasure hunting will fall to Cai'er. If you discover any significant treasures, notify me immediately!"

Then, Beichen looked at Yan Lie. "The Qilin emits auspicious signs, and the Heaven and Earth spiritual roots also emit auspicious energy. Can they sense each other?"

Yan Lie nodded heavily. "Yes!"

"Within these Three Immortal Islands are countless spiritual roots and plants, even supreme immortal roots hidden away. I, this humble Daoist, have no time to find them. This important responsibility will fall upon your shoulders!"

"Understood!" Yan Lie joyfully responded.

"Master, what about me?"

Seeing that Beichen hadn't given him any instructions, Mo Yuan felt a little uneasy.

"If I recall correctly, the Dragon Clan has had extensive contact with treasures, haven't they?"

"Indeed!"

"Then you would be more knowledgeable about extremely rare materials hidden by Heaven and Earth?"

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and nodded. "You could say that."

"Within these Three Immortal Islands, there are innumerable materials that can be used for refining artifacts and formations. This important responsibility will fall upon you."

"Furthermore, the duty of patrolling the Three Immortal Islands will also be yours! You need to conduct regular inspections. If any unusual cultivators or signs appear around the Three Immortal Islands, notify me immediately."

"Yes!"

Mo Yuan also became happy.

"Alright, you may go and attend to your respective tasks! This will allow me to free up sufficient time for dedicated cultivation!"

Beichen was not harsh with those under his command!

Moreover, these three were all powerful beings at the level of the foundational existences of their respective races, and they would become great generals under his command in the future.

After the three beasts departed, Beichen finally let out a long sigh. "With this, I can have them oversee the Three Islands, and I will have enough time to devote to my cultivation!"

Beichen settled his mind and looked at the system reward: "A Glimpse of Opportunity!"

He immediately activated the Glimpse of Opportunity, and a vast scene appeared in his mind.

"Lesser Sumeru Mountain!" Beichen's heart tightened. "Such magnificent sword energy! Is this the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!"

"The ultimate battle of the Dao-Demon Conflict will commence in three years!"

Beichen immediately understood the purpose of the system's reward. "I, this humble Daoist, shall go and observe the ultimate battle of the Dao-Demon Conflict!"

Beichen's heart was filled with anticipation.
