In Li Zizai's heart, Chen Shan was like his own personal disciple, so he was desperate for Ye Xuanji's contract attempt to fail. That way, Chen Shan would have a chance to step in.
The moment he saw Ye Xuanji encounter resistance, He Changkong frowned as well.
Could it be that even a genius with a Saint Spirit Root cannot contract the Calamity Beast?
Just what kind of Beast is this?
Crack!
A purple Heavenly Lock snapped.
Ye Xuanji's body shuddered as though he had been struck by a heavy hammer.
Crack, crack...
After the first purple Heavenly Lock shattered, the remaining eight Heavenly Locks broke one after another.
Ye Xuanji's body seemed to lose control as he staggered backward again and again, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"What? Even Ye Xuanji can't contract this Calamity Beast?"
Beside the Demon Suppression Cage, the expressions of several elders tasked with guarding it changed drastically.
"Xuanji, take a pill quickly."
He Changkong rushed forward in a single stride, supporting Ye Xuanji while stuffing a high-grade healing pill into his mouth.
After steadying himself, Ye Xuanji wiped the blood from his lips and said resentfully, "Sect Master, my cultivation is insufficient. Once I reach the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, I will definitely be able to contract the Calamity Beast!"
"Yes, yes. Once you reach the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, you'll definitely be able to contract it," He Changkong hurriedly said.
This Ye Xuanji actually plans to come back and contract it after reaching the second level of Spirit Transformation?
Li Zizai raised a brow, sneering inwardly.
He really treats the Calamity Beast as his own private treasure. If the second level of Spirit Transformation doesn't work, will he try again at the third level?
