Ch. 483Taking a Guardian Divine Beast as a Mount, an Ominous Feeling!
Plot points and events
- At the Supreme Hall’s Heavenly Gate, Ye Tian calls its guardian, Jade Qilin, a “kitty” and announces he will make him his mount.
- Jade Qilin, offended, tries to put Ye Tian in his place—but Ye Tian swiftly slaps him down. Though Ye Tian is only at the Saint King Realm, his physical strength overwhelms the Saint Emperor Peak qilin.
- Jade Qilin asks about Ye Tian’s lineage. Ye Tian refuses to reveal it, saying Jade Qilin will learn once he becomes his mount.
- Ye Tian attacks again with overwhelming physical power and qi and blood. Jade Qilin is blasted away despite using his innate divine power.
- Jade Qilin invokes the renowned Qilin Heaven-Stepping Art, but Ye Tian counters it easily and knocks him down once more.
- Ye Tian gives Jade Qilin a final choice: become his mount or die. Seeing Ye Tian’s genuine killing intent, Jade Qilin submits.
- The passage ends with an ominous feeling arising just after Ye Tian accepts Jade Qilin’s surrender.
Character developments and interactions
- Ye Tian is revealed as an extraordinarily powerful, confident, and domineering prodigy. He treats Jade Qilin’s status and age with contempt, repeatedly defeats him, and is willing to kill rather than tolerate refusal.
- Jade Qilin shifts from a proud, intimidating gatekeeper—accustomed to subduing challengers and demanding offerings—to fear and reluctant submission after discovering Ye Tian can overpower him.
- The other young Supremes watch in shock and keep their distance, recognizing that Ye Tian’s strength far exceeds what they can match.
- The Divine Phoenix Maiden admires Ye Tian’s heroic presence, while Long Nu’er feels an ominous premonition.
Significant themes
- Strength overturns hierarchy: Ye Tian’s lower cultivation rank means little against his exceptional physical power.
- Pride and submission: Jade Qilin’s confidence collapses when confronted with a force he cannot resist.
- Power and intimidation: Ye Tian’s victory is not merely physical; his aura and threat of death compel obedience.
- Foreshadowing: The chapter’s final ominous feeling suggests that Jade Qilin’s submission may not resolve the danger.
