roar!
A dragon's roar shook the heavens.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed, its silvery radiance blotting out the sky and enveloping the entire space.
The light grew increasingly intense, eventually climbing up the hilt of the Cherished Wine Cup Sword and transforming into a silver dragon that coiled around it.
The silver dragon's body floated on the water, its whiskers fluttering, and its black pupils gleamed with a sharp light, making it seem almost alive!
The Cherished Wine Cup Sword, shone with a dazzling light.
The Sword Qi is undergoing a qualitative change!
A silver dragon coiled around the sword, its dragon fortune surging forth. Xie Feng held the Cherished Wine Cup Sword in his hand, and in that instant, the fortune of the Holy Sword soared into the sky, reaching the pinnacle of the fortune of the Three Thousand Worlds!
"It's done!"
"A holy sword possessing the aura of great perfection!"
"This is the Heaven-Opening Sword!"
The three Madam Wenqu, relaxed.
At this moment, Ye Feng already possessed great fortune, profound cultivation, and the Heaven-Opening Sword, enabling him to open the Heavenly Gate and send them back to the Upper Realm!
Having exhausted fortuitous opportunity in the Luo Mo Secret Realm, staying any longer would likely alert even more people. Xie Feng and the others left the scroll, waited for Changying, and then left Cloud Mountain and came to the coast.
Changying met with the Master of Guixu and Madam Wenqu, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the two of them returned to Guixu and Mount Reverse Space.
Meng Wuqu was going to Azure Cloud Holy Land to find Ye Yuan, and he also took his leave.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone, leaving only Xie Feng and Changying.
"Let's go back to the Xuanji Sect," Xie Feng said.
"Did you find anything inside?" Changying asked curiously.
"I saw the Luo Mo's Library, the method to open the Heavenly Gate, and some other unexpected gains," Xie Feng said.
"No way, is my luck really that bad... I always end up with nothing when I go treasure hunting."
Changying was on the verge of tears. She kicked a small pebble away.
Xie Feng: "..."
The two returned to the Xuanji Sect and saw Sushang sitting in front of the gate. She had her knees bent, her arms resting on her knees, her chin propped up, and her eyes fixed on the foot of the mountain.
Upon seeing Xie Feng and the other person, she jumped up and ran over happily. "Master, Sister Changying, you're finally back!"
Judging from her appearance, it seems she has been waiting for a long time.
Xie Feng patted her soft little head. " Xiao Shang, go and call all the elders to the elders' meeting room. I need to speak with them."
"Uh-huh!"
Sushang nodded and went off to get things done.
A moment later...
All the elders of the Xuanji Sect gathered in the conference room.
Xie Feng said, "Is everyone here? I obtained five celestial beast eggs in the Luo Mo Secret Realm. They have been sealed for countless centuries and have fallen into a deep slumber. If any of you are destined, you can go in, awaken them, form a contract, and train them into mounts."
Upon hearing about the celestial beast egg, everyone's eyes lit up.
Mythical Beasts!
Even though Spiritual Qi has revived in this world, powerful beasts are still rare.
Being able to tame a mythical beast as a mount is also a symbol of strength and prestige.
Zhou Jin asked, "How do we awaken these celestial beasts?"
Xie Feng said in a deep voice, "After you go in, you will sign a contract with your mount in your own way. This is not a one-sided contract, but requires the consent of both parties. That is, the master chooses the mount, and the mount chooses the master."
"If either party fails, the contract will fail! If it succeeds, you can train your mount yourself and use the Xuanji Sect's Cultivation Resources to feed it."
"If you understand, you can make your choice."
"Clear."
Everyone nodded.
The allure of mythical beast mounts is immense. Even among these elders, who include prominent figures such as the Heavenly Dog Clan Emperor, the Poison Lord, and the Jiao Clan Crown Prince, they cannot resist their desire for mythical beast mounts.
A celestial beast!
Just thinking about it is incredibly cool!
There were ten elders from the Xuanji Sect. They entered the inner room in pairs.
The first pair is Zhou Zhulu and Yan Fei.
Xie Feng walked in and said, "I can't be of much help from now on; it's up to your own fortuitous opportunity."
The two entered and first saw a very long table with five eggs of different colors on it, each egg spaced far apart.
The mythical beast eggs come in gold, black, purple, red, and dark blue.
Yan Fei approached the golden celestial beast egg, examined it briefly, and frowned slightly.
"How do I wake it up? Do I have to talk to it?"
Yan Fei pressed his ear against the egg, listening carefully to the sounds inside. He could vaguely hear some whistling sounds, like the wind swirling or the movement of a galaxy. Even through the petrified eggshell, he could sense the profound mystery within.
Yan Fei recalled witnessing others forming contracts with spirit beasts, it seemed to be... a blood pact?
Let's do it!
Yan Fei dripped a drop of blood onto the golden egg, then stared at it intently.
The golden egg didn't react for a long time.
This means...
He chose the golden egg, but didn't the golden egg choose him?
Yan Fei was somewhat disappointed, but he knew that such things couldn't be forced.
Zhou Zhulu arrived in front of a dark blue egg.
He remained silent.
He didn't utter a sound.
"Dude, are you communicating with your mind?"
Yan Fei turned her head and saw Zhou Zhulu's expressionless face, and couldn't help but complain.
Zhou Zhulu remained motionless.
He stared intently at the mythical beast egg with his weathered and sharp eyes.
They stared at each other for five minutes.
There was no change on the egg!
Knowing he had no chance, Zhou Zhulu turned and left the inner room. Yan Fei tried again and again, but still to no avail, so he also left helplessly.
The second group to enter consisted of Xu Chengming and Tun Chen.
"Your mount must have strong resistance to poison, otherwise how will it withstand your sneak attacks?"
Xu Chengming joked.
Tun Chen remained expressionless and raised his hand.
Glug!
Xu Chengming fell backward, immediately beginning to convulse and foam at the mouth...
A few wisps of yellow smoke were still drifting in front of him.
They've been poisoned again!
Xu Chengming stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth, stubbornly got up, and said sullenly, "Just kidding, is it really that serious..."
Tun Chen moved his lips slightly. "As for..."
Xu Chengming waved his hand dismissively. "Forget it, I'm magnanimous and won't hold a grudge. Anyway, it's not the first time you've schemed against me!"
Tun Chen: "..."
They entered the inner chamber, each finding their desired mythical beast egg, and began attempting to form a bond.
After glancing around, Tun Chen also became interested in the golden immortal beast egg that Yan Fei had previously taken a liking to.
He walked over, stared at the egg, and pondered how to wake it.
Three minutes later.
He gave up because he hadn't thought it through...
He used his own method to put a small pinch of white poison powder on the fairy beast egg.
Sizzle!
Smoke began to rise from the egg.
He wanted to use poison powder to corrode the eggshells!
Suddenly, a crisscrossing beam of light rose up, forming Dao Fire that enveloped the celestial beast egg.
At the same time!
A fiery barrier rose up, incinerating the poison powder into nothingness!
Wake-up attempt failed!
He walked out without Tun Chen of sadness or joy.
He was already emotionally detached and very easygoing, so having a mythical beast mount would naturally be a good thing; without it, life would at most return to normal.
