Little Black's Experience

Little Black's Experience

"Master, does it have to be the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Little Black was somewhat reluctant.

Catching ten-thousand-year soul beasts was a trivial matter for it. It could casually catch hundreds of them.

But if it had to go all the way to the Star Dou Forest, it was rather unwilling.

There was no particular reason. The Star Dou Great Forest was simply too far from Hidden Sword Peak.

Even with the ancient Divine Beast Tengshe Bloodline within its body, allowing it to ride the clouds and soar through the mist, reaching the Star Dou Great Forest would still take quite a while.

Moreover, it knew that several incomparably terrifying existences were hidden within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Back when its cultivation had reached a hundred thousand years, Little Black had entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone.

It had entered the Lake of Life, only to be severely beaten by the several terrifying existences within it.

Thinking of the Lake of Life, Little Black suddenly recalled something.

There was another world beneath the Lake of Life, a hidden realm of its own.

The Lake of Life was also strange. It could block divine sense from probing it.

In the end, it had only managed to return alive because their leader had spared it on account of it also being a soul beast.

Ever since then, Little Black had been traumatized by the Star Dou Great Forest.

It no longer dared set foot in the Star Dou Great Forest, afraid those terrifying giants would discover it again.

Then come out and drag it beneath the Lake of Life for another beating.

Although its strength was no longer what it had been forty years ago, the other side was equally terrifying.

It had been unable to see through them forty years ago, and even after forty years had passed, it still could not see through them.

Especially in that dazzling Underground World, where an existence that made both its soul and bloodline feel supreme resided.

That supreme existence was no weaker than its master—only stronger.

Little Black recalled a massive silver dragon.

The sight of those beautiful, radiant silver dragon scales made drool spill from its mouth.

But speaking of which, that silver dragon really was beautiful!

It wanted so badly to use its ten-thousand-zhang body to ride her and give her a fierce pounding.

But Little Black immediately dismissed that thought.

It knew full well the gap between itself and that silver dragon. That thought would only make it dance atop its own grave.

"That silver dragon should be able to take human form. After transforming, she should be a peerless beauty. Master just happens to be lacking a mistress...!"

Little Black thought that it should stir up some trouble and create an opportunity for them.

It would let its master end his centuries of singlehood, while also adding a few more people to Hidden Sword Peak. There were too few people on Hidden Sword Peak. It was far too quiet.

Whenever it thought of how its master spent every day accompanied only by swords, and how it had been dragged down as well and could not find a mate, Little Black felt utterly miserable.

Besides, that silver dragon seemed to have been single for centuries too.

She and its master were truly a perfect match.

What bad intentions could Little Black possibly have?

Mm! It simply wanted what was best for its master.

"What else?"

"Sunset Forest doesn't have any good soul beasts, and Blue Silver Forest is full of grass."

"As for those at the foot of Hidden Sword Peak, they're all your companions. Can you really bring yourself to harm them?"

"After counting it all up, only the Star Dou Great Forest and the ocean remain!"

Little Black really wanted to say that it could bring itself to do it.

Better dead fellow cultivators than dead me. Sacrificing one or two soul beasts in exchange for not having to go to the Star Dou Forest to get beaten up—

That was an absolute bargain.

How could it be unwilling? How could it possibly be unable to do it?

But it did not dare say it aloud. It feared that if it did, its master would beat it senseless.

Seeing Little Black remain silent, neither objecting nor agreeing, Ling Feng gave it a strange look.

Mm! He did not know why.

He always felt that Little Black was especially resistant to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Every time he mentioned the Star Dou Great Forest, Little Black would find all kinds of excuses to avoid going.

This seemed to have started forty years ago, when Little Black had just advanced into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Ling Feng sank into his memories.

He vaguely remembered that when Little Black had advanced into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it seemed to have disappeared for some time.

When it returned from that disappearance, it had seemed battered and bruised.

As if someone had beaten it badly.

Several terrifying auras had lingered on its body. Even he had felt his heart tremble at those auras.

At the time, seeing that Little Black had not died, he had not cared much.

Now that he thought about it, there was probably another story behind it!

Little Black was arrogant by nature.

So after breaking through to become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, relying on its ancient Divine Beast Tengshe Bloodline, had it recklessly barged into the Star Dou Great Forest without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth?

Snakes naturally loved water. With the powerful Tengshe Bloodline in its body, after beating Da Ming and Er Ming senseless, Little Black had very likely seized their Lake of Life.

Then it had accidentally discovered that another world lay beneath the Lake of Life, so it had drilled inside and entered the Underground World where the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, and the others resided.

With Little Black's unruly character, which bowed to neither heaven nor earth, after Di Tian and the others discovered it, the chances of it being jointly beaten senseless by them were extremely high.

Ling Feng felt as though he had discovered the truth of the matter.

In fact, he was not wrong. Things had unfolded more or less exactly like that.

Forty years ago, after Little Black advanced into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it had relied on the ancient Divine Beast Tengshe Bloodline within its body and believed itself invincible.

So it had brazenly entered the Star Dou Great Forest, beaten up the Forest Emperor—the Sky Azure Bull Python—and the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape, forced the two of them to call it Big Brother, and then seized the Lake of Life they guarded.

Upon entering the Lake of Life, Little Black immediately discovered that it was not as simple as it looked on the surface.

It could block divine sense from probing it, and another world lay beneath it, hidden behind a layer of concealment barrier.

Relying on the Tengshe Bloodline within its body, Little Black ignored the barrier and drilled directly inside.

It discovered the hidden world below and encountered the great nightmare it would never forget in its life as a snake within that dazzling Underground World.

It was jointly beaten senseless by those several terrifying ferocious beasts.

In the end, it had only managed to escape alive because that massive silver dragon spoke up at the final moment.

That enormous silver dragon told the several ferocious beasts that they were all soul beasts, all her subjects, and that it was not an enemy, so she had Di Tian and the others release it.

After escaping from the Lake of Life, Little Black fled back to Hidden Sword Peak in disgrace and stayed curled up there for forty years without coming out.

"Little Black, are you hiding something from me?" Ling Feng suddenly leaned close to Little Black and asked mysteriously.

His gaze was fixed on Little Black's eyes, each as large as a small hill, his expression earnest and solemn.

Little Black guiltily looked away, not daring to meet Ling Feng's gaze.

"Master, listen to what you're saying. What could Little Black possibly be hiding from you?"

"Master, you and the little weakling wait here for a moment.

"Little Black will immediately go to the Star Dou Great Forest and catch a ten-thousand-year soul beast for you."

As soon as it spoke, Wind-Thunder Wings spread from Little Black's back, and the terrifying aura of a Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast erupted from its body.

Its wings were like clouds hanging from the heavens, blotting out the sky and sun and directly covering the skies for ten thousand miles, plunging the earth into darkness.

With a fierce flap of its wings, a violent hurricane rose directly over Hidden Sword Peak.

The hurricane was like a sea of qi, directly swallowing several mountain ranges around Hidden Sword Peak.

Black light flickered across Little Black's body, and in a flash, it soared tens of millions of miles away.

In an instant, it shifted through space and appeared above the Star Dou Great Forest.
