Cang Shengdao Palace, it was still the 1st courtyard of the A class of the learning palace.
Chu Xue was hugging the stone qilin in her arms, looking worriedly at the spiritual formation drawn in the courtyard.
Not only was it like that on the ground, but the stone qilin baby in her hands was also covered in runes. It innocently opened its eyes, looking at this weird male living being as well as its master playing with it.
From the center of Guangling Han Ocean to Cang Shengdao Palace, they used roughly 10 days.
The moment they returned, Zong Shou started to prepare to merge the remnant soul of the black qilin beast into the soul of the stone qilin baby.
However, Chu Xue felt that it wasn't reliable, looking suspiciously at Zong Shou, "Young master, I asked sister Yanran and sister Yunlan. They all said that in this world, there definitely isn't a protector beast soul merging and also raising bloodline grade. Even if others take over, they would wipe out the soul of the original body. Young master, you can't lie to Xue … "
Zong Shou couldn't help but roll his eyes. If the soul couldn't merge, then what was going on with him?
In his heart, he was a little nervous. This technique was created by people in the future. It wasn't a complete soul merging, but the battle memories of the black qilin beast as well as a portion of its abilities were injected into the consciousness of the stone qilin baby. Using its soul power as a guide, it would activate the qilin bloodline legacy of the stone qilin baby to raise its grade.
However, this was the first time Zong Shou used it. In the last life, he had just roughly memorized this secret technique. As for whether or not he missed anything, he didn't know.
His face didn't reveal anything, calm and confident as he said in disdain, "Don't worry! When have you seen your prince do something he isn't confident in? Yanran and Yunlan? Hehe, their spiritual cultivation is indeed not bad. However, they are just frogs at the bottom of the well, not knowing the vastness of heaven and earth and the wonders of the world. A small return to sun realm spirit master dares to say that there isn't a soul merging technique in this world. Shameless boasting, they don't know what they are talking about! How would the two of them know the profoundness of this technique? This was created by your Ruler, it can be said to be the creation of heaven and earth … "
He actually didn't feel ashamed at all, taking the credit of the later generations and bragging about himself.
At this moment, Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan were observing from the side. Hearing those words, the latter was still fine, but he was even more curious. Could Zong Shou really do it? The former felt as if his lungs were about to explode from anger.
She thought to herself, 'They are all at the Return to Sun stage, aren't you the same?' He had never heard of a Rank Six Soul Master being able to create a brand new secret technique. It was most likely just a bluff.
Chu Xue, on the other hand, was starting to believe him. His eyes were half-convinced and half-doubtful, but his eyes were filled with reverence after being duped. He thought to himself, Young Master is such a powerful person, he shouldn't be lying, right?
Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan are indeed very powerful. However, her Jun Shang was a person who was a hundred times more powerful. He shouldn't be lying to her.
He hesitated for a moment. In the end, Chu Xue placed the stone qilin baby in her arms in the center of the spiritual formation, carefully consoling it such that the uneasiness of the baby beast dissipated.
Then, she said hesitantly towards Zong Shou, "Young Master, you can't harm the stone! If not, Chu Xue will, will … "
She said a few words, unable to finish her sentence. She wanted to say that she wouldn't bother about the Young Master in the future, which didn't seem to fit her role as a maidservant. She wanted to be endless with Zong Shou, but she didn't know how to be endless.
In the end, Chu Xue gritted her teeth, "Xue will bite you!"
The people around all burst out laughing. Zong Yuan couldn't help but laugh, the corner of his lips twitching.
Zong Shou was startled, feeling the killing intent in Xue's words. He thought to himself, 'This brat actually cares so much about these few spiritual beasts.'
He couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking to himself, 'Should I perfect it a little more?' However, at this moment, he couldn't back down. He could only learn from the grandmaster and wave his hand.
"Nonsense! It will only be good for it, how would it harm it? "
He grabbed ten grade 6 soul crystals in his hand and crushed them all. When Zong Shou chanted, the temporary formation below instantly gave out a light green glow, soul power spreading out.
The stone qilin baby in the center of the formation was also tightly bound by an invisible power.
Zong Shou's heart jumped. Why was it green? Based on the description in the book, when this formation was activated, it should gather red, blue, and black spiritual light.
Looking around and seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zong Shou didn't care anymore, taking out the soul crystal that the black qilin beast turned into.
Like it knew its fate, this spirit beast was crazily struggling. However, it was forcefully suppressed by Zong Shou such that it couldn't move.
Moments later, when Zong Shou sent out tens of complicated hand seals, the soul crystal suddenly exploded.
A ball of mist turned into hundreds and thousands of balls spread out within the formation. This item also had threads of pure spiritual energy which was injected into the stone qilin baby's brow.
Zong Shou looked around once more, his spiritual sense sweeping out to identify the black mist that was separated from him.
These were all the memories of the black qilin beast. What Zong Shou needed to do was to identify them one by one. Then, he would guide the useful ones into the mind of the stone qilin baby.
At this moment, the few people who were watching nearby were all shocked. Apart from Zong Yuan, the other three all had high attainments in spiritual cultivation. At this moment, their eyes were filled with shock.
Before this, they didn't believe it, but now that Zong Shou was doing it step by step, they all understood the rough theory behind this soul merger secret technique.
Their hearts jumped. If it succeeded, didn't it mean that the growth of this protector beast wouldn't be any weaker than those spirit beasts that could rely on consuming soul crystals to advance?
Chu Xue clenched her fists tightly, looking nervously at the center of the formation. Only to see that the stone qilin baby had its eyes tightly closed, its expression pained. Occasionally, it would give out a painful cry.
If she wasn't worried about disturbing the spiritual formation, it would have the opposite effect. There were several times when she couldn't take it anymore and wanted to charge in to carry this stone out.
A moment later, a torrential spiritual pressure suddenly rose up and pressed down on the entire courtyard.
The stone qilin baby in the center of the formation suddenly stood up, its body giving off a yellow glow.
Its claws and teeth started to change, stretching out and looking extremely sharp. From time to time, scales could be seen protruding out of his skin. Under its 4 hooves, yellow flames rose up, its expression looking extremely majestic.
"Grade 7!"
Yanran and Yunlan were both shocked, exchanging glances with one another. Not only was it grade 7, but what accompanied that suppression was the aura of a god beast.
This stone qilin baby had awakened the ancient qilin bloodline, its body was swiftly changing!
Sōmorime's eyes were filled with joy. Out of the 5 spirits, the qilin was in the center. Within the 5 elements, the earth element was often seen as the source of the other metal, wood, water and fire elements.
The earth supported all living things. The most important part of the 5 spirit god beast secret technique was the qilin in the center. Power depended on whether or not this stone qilin could take up a portion of the soul power of the other 4 beasts as well as provide enough spiritual energy.
This was why Zong Shou was so surprised to be able to see that black qilin beast in the tomb. Even if he had to take the risk, he had to capture it.
A moment later, the floating black mist was reduced by tens of portions. Zong Shou didn't look anymore, chanting a spell to scatter it.
However, just as he stopped the spiritual formation beneath his feet to disperse the spiritual energy and soul power gathered here, he was startled.
He saw that the aura of the stone qilin baby was swiftly shrinking, it wasn't as majestic as before. Its scales, claws, and teeth were all returning to their original shape.
"Why did its grade drop once more?"
In a short moment, the stone qilin baby returned to grade 7, the god beast specialties were also disappearing.
Zong Shou didn't know what was going on. Why did it drop back when it was fine? Could it be that something had really gone wrong?
The only thing that caused him to feel fortunate was that he was still able to sense that this infant Stone Qilin beast at this moment was slightly different when compared to before, and it had an additional aura of danger.
Apart from that, Zong Shou also felt that there was something wrong with this little fellow.
Its wet eyes were still so innocent and pitiful. Its muscles seemed to have become tighter, making it look more muscular and strong …
Zong Shou suddenly came to his senses. This stone qilin baby was originally grey in beast skin, but now it had turned pure black, black and swarthy.
Glancing to his side, as expected he saw Chu Xue staring over angrily.
Zong Shou instantly laughed out loud, raising his head and looking at the sky, "It's not early anymore, it's time to start cultivating …"
Just as he was about to walk swiftly back to his room, he instantly felt a fragrant wind pounce over.
Zong Shoxin knew that it wasn't good and hurriedly dodged. However, his body changed several times but he was still unable to dodge.
Then, his right hand was grabbed and he felt a sharp pain. Looking closely, it was Xue who had viciously bitten his hand.
"Xue, you aren't a cat! You really bit me … "
The moment he said that, he remembered that Chu Xue did indeed have the bloodline of an ocelot.
However, Zong Shou's eyes were filled with deep shock.
In terms of movement techniques, although they weren't as good as the sword path, after changing to the Dual Meridian Body, they had become weirder and more nimble, which normal people couldn't compare to.
The ice and fire true qi in his body clashed with one another, and usually he didn't need to borrow strength. Along with himself, he had tens of thousands of intense battles in the game, so he had a lot of experience. Even if one's movement technique was several times better than his, it would still be tough to catch him.
However, just now Chu Xue not only did she do it. She even used her martial ancestor strength to totally suppress him, a Xuanwu ancestor!
The joy in Zong Shou's eyes couldn't help but grow thicker.
… Chu Xue's intuition had advanced, this was an unexpected surprise. It also meant that Chu Xue's combat martial body had improved.
Following which, Zong Shou was woken up by an intense pain. Chu Xue seemed to hate him to the bone, biting down and not letting go.
Zong Shou tried to shake her off several times but was unable to. Just as he was about to open his mouth and threaten, "Chu Xue, if you don't let go, I'm going to touch your chest." Suddenly, a bell rang out, deafening the ears. Following which, it couldn't be stopped, six consecutive rings shaking the entire Cang Shengdao Palace. (To be continued.
