Little did they know that in the hearts of Guo Hu and Que'er, the Shameless Cat was a being who could shake the entire Cultivation World with a stomp of its foot, whose leap could blot out the sky for thousands of miles, and whose blink of an eye could cause a raging wind for hundreds of miles around. It was Demon Race ancestor who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
That Shameless Cat is quick-witted; it understood what was going on almost instantly. Guo Hu and Que'er came from the Thunder Marsh Fire Prison and had interacted with Yang Zhen before, so Yang Zhen must have been Niu Bi again.
I can't ignore your performance, Shameless Cat! I really want to sing now, Yang Zhen feels it, that kind of cheeky song!
Seeing the surprised and uncertain expressions on the faces of the other Demon Race, and even the doubtful looks on most of them, the Shameless Cat coughed lightly, beckoned to Guo Hu, and said, "Boy, come here!"
Damn it, how dare they doubt me? This is outrageous!
"Shut up..." Pikachu was furious when the Shameless Cat called him "ancestor" like a brat. But when he saw the gloomy face of the Guo Hu, he shrank back and swallowed the words that were about to come out, and shut his mouth.
After glaring at Pikachu, Guo Hu approached the Shameless Cat, his expression somewhat suspicious.
The Shameless Cat showed no signs of True Essence, and its small size meant it could be sent flying hundreds of feet with a single slap. Could such a being truly be a force to be reckoned with, capable of summoning wind and rain, and shaking the ages?
Just as Guo Hu was puzzled, the Shameless Cat clicked its tongue in amazement and glanced at Guo Hu, saying, "Kid, you've had a tough time these past few years."
Upon hearing this, Guo Hu's face froze for a moment, then he gave a bitter smile and said, "To be honest, senior, these past twenty years have been more than just miserable. If it weren't for young friend Yang Zhen, I don't know how much longer I would have been living in a daze in the Tomb of Departed Souls."
The Shameless Cat scoffed and said, " Kid Yang is careless. Since I saved you, why not go all the way? Besides, the secret techniques of your Beiqi Clan are far too crude. Look at yourself now, how can you be considered a soul cultivator?"
"Soul cultivation?"
Upon hearing the words of the Shameless Cat, Guo Hu trembled violently, his face flashing with surprise and uncertainty. Then, overjoyed, he bowed deeply to the Shameless Cat and said expectantly, "Please grant my request, senior!"
I beg... I beg you, senior, to grant my request?
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned, including Duan Sihai and Senior Bai; the human cultivators all looked completely bewildered.
Immediately, Senior Bai and Duan Sihai's expressions changed simultaneously, and they exclaimed in shock, "Soul cultivator? How is this possible? How could anyone in this world possibly cultivate into a soul cultivator?"
"Master, what is soul cultivation?" Li Cangxu asked with a puzzled look.
Upon hearing Li Cangxu's words, all the human cultivators around gathered around, looking at Duan Sihai with curiosity, clearly very curious about the soul cultivators they were talking about.
Duan Sihai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, " In High Antiquity times, there were countless powerful beings who could suppress mountains and seas, and destroy the world with a mere gesture. Among them was a cultivation method that allowed one to continue cultivating even after death, as long as the soul remained, thus becoming a rather special existence—the soul cultivator!"
"Cultivating in the state of divine soul?" Li Cangxu was stunned, and said in horror, "How is that possible?"
As everyone knows, once a cultivator dies, even if their soul remains, they must use heaven-defying methods to find another body and possess it in order to continue cultivating. This method is despised by all cultivators in the world and is considered an evil and sinister practice that violates the laws of nature.
Cultivating in a state of spiritual energy makes it impossible to gather any spiritual energy from heaven and earth, so how can one improve their cultivation level?
This is something no one can believe; it's simply impossible.
But now, when they heard everyone mention soul cultivation, their faces were filled with horror. Even some of the older elders present looked shocked. Could it be that there really are people in the world who can cultivate in the form of a divine soul?
Almost instantly, everyone turned their attention to the Shameless Cat.
Those who knew the Shameless Cat, in particular, all wore expressions of horror and disbelief.
The Shameless Cat had never enjoyed such treatment before. It struck a pose, squinting its eyes, puffing out its chest, and basking in the attention for a while before suddenly realizing what was happening. It coughed lightly and said, "Boy, I do indeed have a soul cultivation method here, but... why should I give it to you?"
Thump!
Pikachu knelt down neatly in front of Hua Youyue, startling her Hua Youyue hurriedly dodged away, only to be turned around and aimed at by Pikachu again.
"Senior, Ancestor, if you possess such a method, please be sure to pass it on to us!"
"You..." Guo Hu's expression changed, and he sighed, saying, "Never mind!"
As he spoke, Guo Hu slowly knelt down before the Shameless Cat, performing a junior's salute like Pikachu, and said, "If you, senior, can bestow your power, I will be the ancestor of the Beiqi Clan, and none will dare disobey my commands. If you break this oath, may the Beiqi Clan be wiped out by heaven and earth, and may our lineage be severed!"
"Ancestor!" Pikachu looked at the Guo Hu with a horrified expression and a blank look on its face.
Guo Hu gave a wry smile and said, " Pikachu, I know what you're worried about, but the fate of the Beiqi Clan is exhausted. If we cannot defy destiny, our Beiqi Clan will soon disappear from the world. I will explain this later."
Seeing that even Guo Hu knelt down, bowing to the Shameless Cat as a junior, all the great and small demons of the Beiqi Clan knelt down as well.
The Shameless Cat was completely dumbfounded and hurriedly said, "Damn it, what are you doing? Are you serious? Get up right now!"
The Shameless Cat leaped off Hua Youyue's shoulder and said with a sneer, "You lot, what terrible things have you done to ruin the fortune of the entire Beiqi Clan?"
What?
Upon hearing this, all the human cultivators present were taken aback.
Who could have imagined that the Beiqi Clan, who had fought so fiercely against everyone, was actually already on the verge of extinction?
Given these circumstances, the fact that the Beiqi Clan could still produce such a powerful individual speaks volumes about just how strong the Beiqi Clan was back then.
Guo Hu gave a wry smile, looking at the Shameless Cat, hesitant to speak.
The Shameless Cat sneered and approached Guo Hu, saying, "Fine, I suddenly remembered that I had some connection with that stinky monkey from your Beiqi Clan back then, so I'll lend a hand to his descendant."
"A monkey?" Guo Hu's face froze for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he said, " The Great Saint Tianyuan?"
"If it's not that shameless monkey, who else could it be?" The Shameless Cat glared, pressed its paw against the Guo Hu's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Hold your breath and concentrate!"
Buzz!
A faint, almost imperceptible breath escaped from the Shameless Cat's paw.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. The aura came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Is that all?
Everyone suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
The Shameless Cat coughed, calmly retracted its paw, rubbed its nose, and said, "Damn it, I suddenly forgot the rest of the content. I'll fill in the rest when I remember."
After a moment of contemplation with his eyes closed, Guo Hu was overjoyed. He immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you for your Shameless Cat."
"No problem! No problem!" The Shameless Cat waved his hand, acting as if it were a piece of cake, then muttered to himself, "Damn, Kid Yang's Niu Bi, he easily helped this Sage of Saunter gather a bunch of followers."
Just then, a terrifying thunderclap suddenly rang out, and the entire world was instantly illuminated in white. With a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning pierced through the heavens and earth, falling from the sky towards Yang Zhen, who was suspended in mid-air.
"Not good!" Guo Hu's expression changed, and he looked up in horror. " Heavenly Punishment! It has begun!"
