A day later, Zong Shou stood on the seven-star spell altar. 5 balls of silver light circled around his body.
One of them was the mutated human-shaped ant queen while the other 4 were the 8 winged flying ants that were split off. Their speed was slightly weaker than the former but they were on the same level as the lightning winged flood serpent when it flew at full speed.
At this moment, in front of Zong Shou, there were dozens of evil demon crystals piled up. Amongst which there were 2 grade 7 evil crystals which were the battle records of the 4 8 winged flying ants of the human-shaped ant queen.
Just these alone could be exchanged for at least 5 thousand merit points.
However, at this moment, Zong Shou's attention was more on the mutated ant queen. When his spiritual sense reached in, the ant queen didn't resist and was finally able to touch a portion of the mutated ant queen's thoughts.
"Grade 7 realm, it can only split into 6. It feels that if it splits out 2 more, it will reach its limit. If it produces more, its grade will drop. However, in the future, every realm it rises, it can increase the number of descendants … "
Hearing Zong Shou's words, for some reason, Zong Yuan felt his heart relax.
He didn't dare to imagine what the world would become if such a strong being was able to reproduce without a limit.
At this moment, although the 4 8 winged saint fire silver ants were only at the peak of grade 6 realm. In terms of combat strength, no one below grade 7 could match them.
As for the ant queen, it also had several natural abilities buffing it. As long as one was around it, it could be seen as grade 7. In terms of combat strength, it was much stronger than him.
Only Zong Shou's lightning winged flood serpent could go up against it.
Zong Shou's face didn't show any disappointment. The living beings in this world followed such laws.
The weak ones would have shocking reproductive abilities, like the human race and demon fire crystal ants. As for the strong ones, it would be tough for them to reproduce, like those rare god beasts.
This mutated silver ant queen, even compared to god beasts of the same grade, was really outstanding.
The children it gave birth to wouldn't be weak either. A decrease in reproductive ability was something that could be predicted. It was impossible to create another ten thousand ant wave.
Then, he mocked himself. This mutated ant queen really didn't let him down.
Just one of them, together with its six offspring, was enough to wipe out all of his Protector Beasts and Protectors! As long as he was fine, it was like he had 7 Grade Seven experts by his side.
Not only did it not disappoint him, but it also gave him a great surprise.
With such value, the previous thought of killing him naturally disappeared without a trace.
This ant queen had indeed displayed enough value.
Zong Shou stretched out his hand and the Saint Fire Ant Queen landed in his palm with a thought.
His expression was calm and one couldn't see any special emotions in his eyes. He stood there quietly, as if he was waiting for his fate.
The Taixuan Heart Locking Soul Settling Talisman in his forehead was also shining. This was a sign that the immortal talisman had completely seeped into the ant queen's soul.
Unlike before, Zong Shou had to use all his strength to suppress it. At this moment, he just needed a thought to decide its life and death.
… Although there was the danger of it biting its master, its strength made it tough for him to give it up, making him unable to make a decision.
He frowned and was in deep thought. A moment later, Zong Shou burst out laughing.
In his last life and now, he had gone through numerous life and death battles. Between life and death, he sought the peak of the sword path. Why would he be afraid of a spiritual pet whose soul was already controlled by him biting back?
If there was a day when this mutated ant queen succeeded and bit back at him, then Zong Shou deserved it. Why did he need to be so afraid?
He didn't hesitate anymore, dripping a bit of essence blood onto its brow.
"Today, I will give you a true name. Your body has the light flame, born from the demon flame. In the future, you will be called Hanxi, meaning the sunlight that rises at dawn …"
Sōmorime's gaze was solemn. This was the first time he gave a proper name to a spiritual pet.
As for the Saint Fire Ant Queen, its gaze flickered slightly as it absorbed the essence blood into its body.
To beasts, this so called true name was the same as birth date. The mark and beast crystal merged into the bloodline and connected to the ability. Once other high grade spirit masters who were good at curses and spells found out, it was the same as controlling its life.
Seeing that the Sacred Fire Ant Queen didn't resist, only then did Zong Shou smile. When he raised his head, he saw the lightning winged flood dragon and rising moon lion looking over in envy. Only the demon eye silver bear didn't react at all.
Zong Shou couldn't help but laugh. Little Zhi and Little Lei were just codenames that he casually gave. He couldn't really use these names as the true names of his protector beasts.
On the side of Zong Yuan, he was also surprised. He didn't think that his ruler could give such elegant names. He was really afraid that Zong Shou would give them names like Little Silver and Little White. As the Gantian Mountain monster king, if people found out, he would be a laughing stock.
Just as he placed down his worries, he heard Zong Shou pat the head of the Sacred Fire Ant Queen, "You can't let people know your true name. Normally I will call you Little White!"
Seeing the fierce glow in the eyes of the Sacred Fire Ant Queen, Zong Shoxin was slightly shocked, laughing out loud, "Little White is not satisfied, Little Flame is okay, or Little Saint is also okay …"
When Zong Yuan heard that, he facepalmed, shaking his head and sighing.

"It has already been 6 days …"
Outside of the common people vast habitat, within the spiritual ocean. Xuanye was frowning as she looked at the spiritual river that was surging over.
Since the 2 of them entered, 6 days had passed, a full 72 hours. Till date, the 2 of them still hadn't come out.
If it was in the past, if the 2 of them didn't return in such a long time, it was most probably because they met with misfortune. If they were lucky, they would be saved by the sect elders. If they were unlucky, they would have fallen into the stomachs of those beasts, or their essence blood would have been stolen by evil demons.
However, Xuanye was clear that the 2 of them were still alive and well, and most probably living a good life.
Since 4 days ago, there weren't any valuable beasts or evil beings that appeared in this spiritual river. Grade 6 and above were pretty much extinct. It also caused the merit points that their group gained to decrease.
However, Xuanye still found it hard to believe. With the strength of the 2 of them, they were just peak grade 6. How could they block an entire spiritual river?
She knew that in that spiritual river, if one wasn't grade 7, one wouldn't be able to survive. If one wanted to be like a fish in water, one would need at least 4 grade 7 experts to work together.
Did they hide their strength? Impossible, her bloodline was special and she had the spiritual eye ability. All cultivation methods to hide one's strength were unable to hide from her.
She knew that the 15 year old spirit master, although he looked normal, he looked really delicate.
The aura around him was also simulated. However, in his body, there was indeed peak Return to Sun soul power. Even his martial path had reached an extremely high realm.
Thinking about it for a moment, Xuanye's body suddenly moved, stepping in the air towards the upper reaches of the spiritual river.
When Chenrou saw that, she was startled, "Where is senior sister going? Are you going to the upper reaches of the spiritual river? "
Xuanye nodded her head slightly. Be it for the safety of the 2 fellow disciples or to find the reason why the spiritual river was weird, she needed to go over and take a look.
When Yongqin saw that, her lips curled up, saying unconcernedly, "Xuanye you are really going? In my opinion, it was most likely a Rank Eight Sect Senior who saved the two people you mentioned and cleaned up the Spirit River while they were at it. So infuriating, what a busybody. The merit points I gained today is less than half of what I gained before … "
Her tone was filled with hatred, unwillingly waving her sword around, bringing about rings of seven-colored spiritual light.
Xuanye broke out into a laugh, but she didn't have any intention to give up. She had thought about this possibility before, but that was definitely the case. As for what happened, she needed to take a look to know.
She had a preposterous thought in her heart. Were the 2 of them the few people who stayed in 1st Courtyard A, the Tan Qiu that junior sister Chenrou mentioned?
"Achoo!"
On the spell altar, Zong Shou suddenly sneezed out. At this moment, as compared to the haggard state he was in a few days ago, he was pretty much relaxed.
He laid at the side of the seven-star spell altar, his back leaning against the railing. He held a book in his hand, reading it carefully.
… It was the Vairocana Mandala! Great Sun Saint Virtue Scripture!
The current Small Saint, no! It was Hanxi, it had already split out the 6th 8 winged saint fire silver ant.
The 6 flying ants turned into 6 streaks of light. Along with the lightning winged flood dragon, even without Hanxi doing anything, they had already locked down this space fissure.
All grade 6 beasts and evil demons, as long as they entered, the silver light would wrap around them. In just a blink of an eye, they would be able to end their lives. As for the beast crystals and all valuable materials, there was no need for Zong Shou to personally do it. The saint fire silver ants would strip them out for him. Only a portion would be burned by the silver-white flames, turning into threads of essence energy which would be absorbed into its body to replenish what it consumed.
Only when it met grade 7 and above would Hanxi attack. Often it would kill with one knife!
Zong Yuan didn't participate at all, only finding a few elite beasts to fight 1 vs 5 to train his spear technique.
As for that rising moon lion, it originally wanted to slack off, but Zong Shou kicked it off the spell altar. Helplessly, it could only find an opponent to kill. This fellow was really lazy and didn't go to find those stronger than it. It was just a little weaker and then it would bully it.
Zong Shou was too lazy to bother about it. During these few days, he focused on studying the scriptures he borrowed from the Book Hiding Hall.
The most important thing was the Vairocana Mandala in his hands!
Flipping open the last page, Zong Shou touched his nose in confusion.
"Who is thinking about me? That's right, I have been here for 6 days. Ruoshui is still okay, but Chu Xue is probably really anxious. Speaking of which, it is time to go back … "
Looking forward, only to see that there was a huge pile of things on the seven-star spell altar.
Roughly calculating, there were around 40 thousand. Not only his diamond realm dari rulai heart curse, but even Zong Yuan's ten thousand transformations mysterious lightning heart sutra was enough to exchange for. (To be continued.
