Besides that.
With the curse seals on nine of its faces already released, Ghost Chariot could now fuse nine divine abilities!
If it could keep following in its master Lin Tian's footsteps all the way up Mount Buzhou, Ghost Chariot could even foresee every sewn-shut mouth on its twenty-seven faces being unsealed!
Then it would gain twenty-seven different bloodline divine abilities from the races of the Primordial World!
Such progress.
For a Ghost Chariot that had once scraped by in the East Continent Forest of the Primordial East Continent, cautiously hoping to escape every upheaval in the Primordial World and quietly survive its entire life, this was a change that turned heaven and earth upside down.
And over these nearly one hundred thousand years.
Ghost Chariot made it through observation and careful speculation.
Ghost Chariot had come to understand that its master Lin Tian was a mighty figure of the Primordial World even more timid, more inclined to lie low, and more cautious than itself.
Precisely because of this, Ghost Chariot believed it had chosen the right master.
During those fifty thousand years when it had carried Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor across the Primordial East Continent, it had actually harbored quite a bit of resentment.
After all, it had barely become Lin Tian's subordinate before it had to toil like an ox or a horse, serving as the mount for Lin Tian and that Little Beast Emperor whose arrogance pierced the heavens. That humiliation was something it could hardly explain to outsiders.
But.
After entering the Central Continent, during those thirty thousand years of secluded cultivation along its edge.
Ghost Chariot had gained a new divine ability, Clone Void Traversal, from the innate divine ability Void Traversal released by Lin Tian's Nine Nether Vine.
From that moment on, Ghost Chariot had been utterly devoted to Lin Tian.
More than ten thousand years ago, Lin Tian had also casually revealed his Hongmeng Eight-Nine Profound Art to it.
Back then.
Lin Tian had merely manifested a phantom of Mount Buzhou and touched it lightly, crossing a distance that would have taken tens of thousands of years to traverse and arriving directly at Mount Buzhou.
That divine ability still amazed Ghost Chariot to this day.
As a local power of the Primordial East Continent, Ghost Chariot was no ignorant fool that had never seen the world. Precisely because it had seen so much, it understood just how wondrous the divine ability Lin Tian had displayed was!
And so.
Ghost Chariot knew that as long as it maintained its resolve to keep cultivating and advancing.
Once its cultivation reached a level Lin Tian approved of, Lin Tian would certainly not begrudge teaching it the Hongmeng Eight-Nine Profound Art.
Precisely because of this.
Ghost Chariot was filled with hope for its future and brimming with drive.
Although.
Every step it took now required every last ounce of its strength.
Ghost Chariot nevertheless felt an incomparable exhilaration, a satisfaction that washed through it from head to toe!
On the platform halfway up Mount Buzhou, before the two innate formations.
Awooo! Awoo!
The Little Beast Emperor, utterly out of patience, circled the thirty-foot-tall Primordial Ninefold Nether Vine over and over like a streak of lightning.
If Lin Tian had not told the little beast a thousand years ago that they had to wait until that fool Ghost Chariot climbed halfway up Mount Buzhou before breaking the formations together.
The Little Beast Emperor would long since have plunged headfirst into the two innate formations and begun refining them without hesitation.
The Little Beast Emperor was no longer what it had once been!
After comprehending Lin Tian's Nine Nether Vine innate divine ability, Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice Seal, and the Innate 108-Celestial-Circuit Star Formation evolved from the Innate Sea-Covering Formation, ordinary innate formations were like clay chickens and tile dogs before the Little Beast Emperor.
It could refine them with a single thought!
With its speed now matching lightning and its body as tough as an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Little Beast Emperor did not even need to refine the formation. It could simply use its incomparably powerful body to grind away at it, crushing the innate formation into fragments through sheer physical force!
As for Lin Tian.
During these thousand years, he had neither cultivated nor refined anything. He had simply stood calmly before the two innate formations, sensing Mount Buzhou's ceaseless, tidal pressure.
Before this.
Lin Tian had always been climbing. Although the pressure had steadily increased throughout his ascent, he had never sensed the mysterious pattern within it.
Only when he stopped and stood before the two innate formations, neither cultivating nor refining and devouring the formations.
Could he sense a tidal rhythm between heaven and earth, rising and falling like breaths.
When Lin Tian discovered this incomparably profound tidal rhythm, his mind settled into complete peace. His earlier impatience to evolve his racial foundation, quickly find three kinds of origin, and advance to late Great Unity Golden Immortal vanished.
After the Little Beast Emperor had spent a thousand years circling Lin Tian, the Primordial Ninefold Nether Vine.
And still failed to see Ghost Chariot climbing up the mountain.
Little Beast Emperor had no choice but to follow Lin Tian's example, rein in its thoughts and impatience, and crouch beside him with its hundred-and-twenty-foot-tall body.
Several years later, once the Little Beast Emperor had also quieted down.
It began to sense the wondrous, indescribably profound tidal force between heaven and earth.
At that moment, the Little Beast Emperor finally understood why Lin Tian was willing to stand motionless before the two innate formations and empty his mind.
He had been sensing the exceedingly rare mysteries of this stretch of heaven and earth!
In the snap of a finger, another two thousand years passed.
Ghost Chariot huffed and puffed, never stopping for a single step.
It would never have imagined that, during this latter stretch of its climb up Mount Buzhou, it would fall a full three thousand years behind its master Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor beside him!
When Ghost Chariot's fifteen-thousand-foot-tall figure appeared before the platform halfway up Mount Buzhou.
The Little Beast Emperor, who had cultivated quietly for three thousand years and grown increasingly bad-tempered as it waited.
Took one look at Ghost Chariot and, without another word, thrust out its thirty-foot-long beast foot.
It planted a vicious kick squarely in Ghost Chariot's chest.
Rumble!
Rumble!
That single kick sent Ghost Chariot flying straight off Mount Buzhou's halfway point. Before it could even cry out, it tumbled and scrambled, vanishing from the Little Beast Emperor's sight in an instant.
The Little Beast Emperor froze in bewilderment.
Another thousand years passed.
Ghost Chariot, whose body had now shrunk to twelve thousand feet, climbed onto Mount Buzhou's halfway platform with immense difficulty.
At that moment.
The Little Beast Emperor, quiet as a chicken.
Stretched out its enormous beast head.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump! It kept rubbing back and forth against Ghost Chariot's chest, back and forth.
Expressing its apology to Ghost Chariot this way.
"Ghost Chariot, Little Beast Emperor, take one each. Refine these two innate formations at the same time!"
Lin Tian gestured to Ghost Chariot and the Little Beast Emperor.
The reason Lin Tian had waited for Ghost Chariot to arrive was that he wanted Ghost Chariot and the Little Beast Emperor to refine one formation each.
And within these two formations lay a trace of the Creation Jade Tablet's wondrous aura.
Lin Tian believed that if he personally refined the two innate formations, he could attend to one but not the other.
If he had the Beast Emperor and Ghost Chariot refine them simultaneously.
While he stood guard nearby.
Then the two treasures hidden within the creation innate formations could not both disappear because the formations were refined one after the other!
