At those words, Ghost Chariot was immediately overjoyed and kept sending Lin Tian messages through Spirit Awareness:
"If you do not disdain me, Master, I am willing to follow you to the Central Continent!"
"If you are willing to take me to Mount Buzhou in the Central Continent, Master, I will have no regrets in this life even if I die along the way!"
"As for the East Continent Forest, even if I follow you to the Central Continent, the Nine-Headed Azure Luan can gather the thoughts and intentions of all seventy-two of us Fierce Beasts. The Eastern Continent Mountain Range can still develop steadily, unaffected by the tides of Fierce Beasts outside..."
Ghost Chariot kept sending out excited, joyful messages through Spirit Awareness.
Ghost Chariot's voice rang incessantly through Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
Lin Tian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"Congratulations! You have devoured the Ghost Chariot Core. Evolution Points +35,800." "Your evolution bar has reached 37 million points."
When the system notifications rang through Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
Lin Tian could not help but rejoice!
He had not wasted a moment of these hundred thousand years.
Not only had his Evolution Points risen rapidly, but all his divine abilities had also improved and been consolidated.
When the system notifications sounded, Lin Tian opened his system panel.
"Name: Lin Tian Race: Primordial Ninefold Nether Vine Cultivation: Great Unity Golden Immortal-early stage Divine abilities: [Bloodthirst], [Spatial Traversal], [Undying], [Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice Seal], [Universe in the Sleeve], [Innate Sea-Covering Formation], [Innate 108-Celestial-Circuit Star Formation]... Items: Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus, Enlightenment Tea Tree, Northern Xuanyuan Water-Control Banner, Three Lights Divine Water, one ginseng fruit, ten sections of Ginseng Fruit Tree branches, half of the Earth Book · Classic of Mountains and Seas, seventy-two Combined Spiritual Treasures belonging to the seventy-two Fierce Beasts (details omitted)... Origins: Bloodthirst Origin, Space Origin, Ren Water Origin, Wood Origin, Thunder Origin, Heaven and Earth Origin, Good Fortune Illusion Origin... Evolution bar: 37000000/99999999"
Although more than sixty percent of the progress bar remained before he reached the hundred million points needed to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
Lin Tian had taken only a little over two hundred thousand years to go from zero to 37 million Evolution Points.
Compared to the hundreds of thousands of years it had once taken him to gather just a million Evolution Points, this was more than dozens of times faster!
Lin Tian glanced at the system panel.
After pondering in silence, he slowly sent a message to Ghost Chariot through Spirit Awareness:
"In that case, let us set off."
Then.
Lin Tian slowly climbed down from the Nine-Headed Azure Luan's back, stepped onto the nine-headed Ghost Chariot's back, and settled securely into his seat.
At the same time.
Lin Tian also gestured to the Little Beast Emperor, who was sitting on the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix's back.
His meaning was: the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix was too weak, so there was no need to take it along to Mount Buzhou.
After years of riding the Demon Phoenix, the Little Beast Emperor had become so accustomed to it that it no longer even wanted to walk. From the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix's back, it stretched out its twenty-foot beast paws and gestured twice at Lin Tian.
Its meaning was: ride Ghost Chariot together?
Lin Tian nodded.
The instant the Little Beast Emperor received Lin Tian's affirmative answer, it leaped joyfully from the Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix's back.
It landed on the nine-headed Ghost Chariot's back.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Little Beast Emperor threw back its head and let out a long roar.
Amid the little beast's prolonged roaring.
Ghost Chariot spread its pair of wings, which blotted out the sky and sun, and shot into the heavens.
Gusts of chilling wind, as though sweeping out from the depths of the Ninefold Nether, spiraled upward above the ancient trees that stood a million feet tall!
Riding that chilling Ninefold Nether wind, Ghost Chariot beat its sky-obscuring wings and flew like lightning toward the Central Continent in the west.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished from the skies above the Eastern Continent.
Once Ghost Chariot departed.
Only seventy-one of the Eastern Continent's Seventy-Two Fierce Beasts remained.
The seventy-one Fierce Beasts, led by the Nine-Headed Azure Luan.
They all flew into the skies above the Eastern Continent Mountain Range.
They watched their leader, Ghost Chariot, carry a vine and a beast toward the Central Continent, until the figures disappeared from their sight.
"In the end, our leader is still our leader. Master only has eyes for our leader."
"When will we ever catch Master's discerning eye?!"
"Azure Luan, you carried Master the longest. Why was he unwilling to take you to the Central Continent?"
"The reason Master was willing to spend a full hundred thousand years here in our Eastern Continent was that his ultimate target was our leader, Ghost Chariot. If not for our leader, do you think Master would have spent a hundred thousand years patiently trading fairly with us? He would have wiped us all out with a slap long ago, then taken all our Innate Spiritual Treasures and divine abilities."
"With Master's capabilities, he probably would not even need a year to beat all of us into submission. Why spend a hundred thousand years weaving alliances among us? He was clearly doing it all for our leader, Ghost Chariot, to see. In truth, our leader's chance to follow Master to Mount Buzhou is a blessed opportunity for Ghost Chariot, and a blessing for every living being in our Eastern Continent Mountain Range as well!"
The sighs of the Eastern Continent's Seventy-One Fierce Beasts.
They also echoed in Lin Tian's lake of the mind, like projections.
After all, he had already obtained from the Nine-Headed Azure Luan an Innate Spiritual Treasure capable of gathering the thoughts and Spirit Awareness of all living beings.
Any living beings who had come into contact with Lin Tian.
Whenever they communicated with one another, all their communicated thoughts could be projected into Lin Tian's lake of the mind.
Of course, Lin Tian found these words of flattery spoken behind his back quite pleasing to hear.
A thousand things might pierce through, but flattery never did.
The Eastern Continent Mountain Range and the Central Continent lay in the east and west respectively. One had to cross the entire Eastern Continent to reach the Central Continent.
As for why Lin Tian wanted to take Ghost Chariot to Mount Buzhou in the Central Continent.
The main reason was that Ghost Chariot was the local snake here in the Eastern Continent.
In other words.
If he wanted to fly safely and quietly from the Eastern Continent to the Central Continent without drawing attention or causing the Eastern Continent's tides of Fierce Beasts to follow.
The only workable method was to use the local snake as a mount and have it carry him to the Central Continent.
This was also Lin Tian's ultimate purpose in spending a hundred thousand years in the Eastern Continent, treating the worthy with courtesy, trading fairly, weaving alliances, and dividing the seventy-two Fierce Beasts to conquer them.
Ghost Chariot was actually several times faster than Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor.
Here on the Primordial Continent.
No speed could outpace time.
In other words, before one crossed the threshold into the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal stage, speed had a ceiling.
Below the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal stage, it was absolutely impossible to break through that ceiling. Anyone who did would have their body shattered and their spiritual consciousness utterly erased.
Even a peak Supreme Golden Immortal could not solve this problem, no matter how many supreme treasures or cultivation methods they possessed.
As a result.
The various Primordial World Creatures had come up with all manner of outrageous tricks to increase their speed.
