Chapter 72: The Ancient Divine Beast Qilin

The moment they stepped into the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm, Chen Wangu and the others were immediately drawn in by the scenery within, and their expressions all turned grave.

Even experts as powerful as Chen Wangu and Xu Ruoshan had never entered the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm before.

That was because the danger of the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm was widely known throughout Tiansheng Continent. Anyone below the Saint Emperor Realm who entered was certain to die, and even Saint Emperor experts would face near-certain death.

Within the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm, space itself was shattered. Countless islands drifted wildly through the void, appearing here one moment and elsewhere the next.

“Be careful.”

Lu Xunxian shielded everyone behind him. Yet when those incomparably violent Spatial Turbulences approached Lu Xunxian, they were blocked by an invisible force.

Chen Wangu and Xu Ruoshan naturally sensed this as well. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

At the same time, they finally felt at ease. Bringing Lu Xunxian with them had unquestionably been the right choice.

This journey was now assured.

“Let us go.”

Lu Xunxian closed his eyes, and very quickly sensed the area within the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm where the Immortal Qi was densest.

With a sweep of his hand, Lu Xunxian directly led Chen Wangu and the others through the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm. The Spatial Turbulence simply could do nothing to them.

Before long, they were about to reach the region Lu Xunxian had sensed, the one with the densest Immortal Qi.

But at that very moment, a ripple suddenly spread through the space of the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm. The space before them distorted, then burst apart, and an enormous Immortal Beast covered in seven-colored scales emerged and blocked their path.

“What kind of Demon Beast is this?”

The moment Chen Wangu and Xu Ruoshan saw the Immortal Beast, they sensed an utterly unmatched terrifying aura from its body.

This was absolutely an Immortal Beast above the Saint Emperor Realm!

“Humans, begone. Leave This Venerable One’s territory!”

The Immortal Beast seemed to be an ancient divine beast, a Qilin. The moment it spoke, it radiated an exalted and supreme pressure, but it did not strike Lu Xunxian and the others with lethal force.

Everyone looked toward Lu Xunxian. After all, he was now their pillar.

Lu Xunxian curled his lips into a cold smile and said, “An ancient Immortal Beast, a Qilin? That is rare indeed. I do wonder why one would appear here.”

The reason Lu Xunxian was able to recognize the Immortal Beast before him as a Qilin was because the Immortal King of Myriad Weights in his mind had recognized it.

The Qilin was an ancient divine beast. As time passed, however, its bloodline had gradually thinned. Even so, a newborn Qilin still possessed a terrifying Immortal Beast Bloodline. As long as it continued to cultivate, one day it could transform into a Progenitor Bloodline, in other words, a Divine Beast Bloodline.

Seeing that the person before him had recognized him, surprise appeared on the Qilin’s face, but inwardly he did not care too much.

Even in the Immortal Realm, the Qilin Clan was counted among the Ten Great Races. Being recognized was nothing unusual.

The Qilin let out a cold laugh and said, “Since you have recognized This Venerable One’s origin, why are you not getting lost already?”

“How interesting. I have long wanted to take a Qilin as a mount. Since you have delivered yourself to my door, then become This Venerable One’s mount.”

As soon as Lu Xunxian finished speaking, his figure vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already standing before the Qilin.

Lu Xunxian raised a finger and pressed it directly onto the Qilin’s forehead. In that instant, the power of his Divine Soul entered the Qilin’s body and forcibly planted a Master-Servant Contract within him.

All of this happened in a mere instant. By the time the Qilin reacted, the Master-Servant Contract had already been planted.

“Human, what did you do?”

The Qilin was instantly overcome with fury and tried to strike Lu Xunxian down on the spot.

But the Master-Servant Contract within his body restrained him, making it impossible for him to attack Lu Xunxian at all. He could only grind his teeth and glare at Lu Xunxian.

At the same time, however, his heart was filled with shock.

Although he was restricted by the laws of Tiansheng Continent, and his cultivation had been further suppressed to the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm by the seal in this place, even so, not even a True Immortal should have been able to plant a Master-Servant Contract on him without his noticing.

So who exactly was this man before him?

“I did nothing much. I merely made you my mount. If you behave obediently, perhaps one day I may spare you.”

“But if you refuse to cooperate, I do not mind erasing you.”

“Human, do you truly not fear retaliation from my Qilin Clan?”

the Qilin threatened.

“My Qilin Clan is one of the Ten Great Races of the Immortal Realm. If my clansmen in the Immortal Realm learn of this, I am afraid even death will not grant you release!”

The Qilin Clan had always been proud. They had never stooped to becoming another’s mount.

In the Immortal Realm, not even Immortal Venerables dared to take a Qilin as a mount. There had once been an Immortal Venerable who, relying on the strength of his own cultivation, forcibly took a Qilin as his mount.

Not long afterward, the Qilin Clan learned of it. They immediately dispatched an Immortal Emperor Patriarch, who suppressed that Immortal Venerable and brought him back to the ancestral land of the Qilin Clan. Only after being scorched by the Heart-Devouring Immortal Flame for ten thousand years was he finally granted release.

Because of that, no one in the Immortal Realm had dared to take a Qilin as a mount ever again.

At Lu Xunxian’s side, Chen Wangu naturally knew of this matter as well. His expression could not help but darken as he looked at Lu Xunxian and tried to persuade him.

“Old Lu, why do we not just release this Qilin? The Qilin Clan truly is powerful in the Immortal Realm. If they learn of this matter, I fear it will not end well.”

Although the Human Race was also counted among the Ten Great Races in the Immortal Realm, it was unlike the other nine great races in that it was not united. Humans mostly fought for themselves. Unless they were facing a crisis that threatened the extinction of their race, they would never truly unite.

Thus, in the Immortal Realm, the Human Race could be said to be one of the Ten Great Races, and yet not one at all.

But Lu Xunxian merely shook his head and looked at Chen Wangu as he asked seriously, “So tell me, if we release this Qilin now, do you think he will spare us?”

“The answer is no. The Qilin Clan has always held grudges. He has already engraved today’s events in his heart. Even if we let him go, he will never spare us.”

“Besides, it is only the Qilin Clan. I do not care that much.”

Lu Xunxian waved his hand, looking completely calm and unconcerned, as though he truly had not taken the Qilin Clan to heart at all.

In truth, that was indeed the case.

Although he had not yet broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, reaching that realm was only a matter of time. Moreover, his peak would absolutely not stop at Immortal Emperor.

When that time came, he could even consider capturing the Patriarch of the Qilin Clan and making him a mount.

Hearing this, Chen Wangu froze. But after thinking it over carefully, he found that Lu Xunxian’s words truly made perfect sense.

In the end, he could only sigh and say, “Since this is your choice, Old Lu, then I can only walk this road with you to the very end.”

As for the others, they did not feel much at all. They only knew that all they had to do was trust Lu Xunxian completely. After all, Lu Xunxian had never disappointed them before. Perhaps he truly did not fear the Qilin Clan at all.
