"Master?"
"Subordinate?"
The Blackback Tortoise and Zhang Xuan glanced at one another, dumbfounded.
It was just a moment ago that the Blackback Tortoise was fighting to the death, so when did it become his subordinate?
The immortal beasts and saint beasts in the area were dumbfounded as well.
It was just a moment ago that he had come up with a plan to teach the Six Sects a lesson … Why would he suddenly betray them all of a sudden?
With his body arched so low that it looked as if he had been cooked, he actually addressed a human as his master?
"Boss, why would you acknowledge such an insignificant figure as your master?"
The remaining two sharks could hardly believe what they were seeing.
"Shut up!"
The shark that had spoken earlier bellowed furiously. "Hurry up and pay your respects to our master!"
The two sharks had no idea what their boss was up to, but they dared not disobey the order. Swaying their tails, they swam over to Zhang Xuan and took a look at him. The next moment, their eyes narrowed in astonishment, and they kneeled down and greeted, "Your subordinates pay respect to master!"
"This …"
Zhang Xuan had no idea what the other party was up to, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Acknowledge me as your master!"
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, once they acknowledged him as their master, there was no way they could change their minds.
"Yes!"
Without any hesitation, the three sharks took out their blood essences and accepted the acknowledgement of the Blackback Tortoise.
After accepting the blood essence and completing the master acknowledgement ceremony, Zhang Xuan's mind buzzed. Only then did he realize that the other party was not scheming at all. He was sincerely acknowledging him as his master.
"What are you all doing?"
It was just a moment ago that they had been fighting intensely with one another, wanting nothing more than to tear him to shreds. Yet, in the next moment, they had become his tamed beasts willingly. This left Zhang Xuan deeply confused.
Their temperament was simply too bizarre. Could it be that … he was really so charming that they would submit to him with just a glance?
More importantly … he had never exuded the aura of a king!
"The reason why we were able to reach the Semi-Divinity realm is because we consumed the blood essence of the gods. Master, you have the token of the gods with you, so it's only right that we acknowledge you as our master!"
The strongest shark saw through Zhang Xuan's doubts and explained.
"Token?"
Zhang Xuan lowered his head to look at the pendant hanging in front of his chest. He had kept it in his clothes previously, but due to the heat from the god's blood, he had taken it out and hung it around his neck.
"That's right!" The shark nodded respectfully.
Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.
Previously, he had already guessed that the god blood had something to do with Lozosy, and from the looks of it now, his suspicions were confirmed.
The shark had only managed to achieve a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm after consuming the fresh blood that she had spilled. Naturally, it sensed something upon seeing her token, so it dared not attack her anymore.
As for the Blackback Tortoise, the reason why Zhang Xuan didn't recognize it back then was because it had been hiding under his clothes all this while.
"Let them disperse first! I have something to ask you! "
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Since Little Chick had already acknowledged him as its master, he was no longer in any danger. After issuing some instructions, he drank a jade bottle of Little Chick's bathwater, and only then did he feel his injuries recovering.
The Serpentine Shark issued a few instructions, and despite their reluctance, the High Immortal immortal beasts still obeyed his orders and backed out of the area.
After all of the immortal beasts had left, Zhang Xuan finally turned to the three sharks before him and said, "Since you have submitted to me, I'll give you a name. It'll make it easier for you to remember. You are Shark One, Shark Two, and Shark Three!"
"???" The three sharks were stunned.
"Tell me in detail about how the chief of Starchaser Palace worshipped the heavens, how the god descended, and where she went in the end."
Ignoring the frustrated three sharks, Zhang Xuan asked.
"Around two months ago, the chief of Starchaser Palace suddenly appeared in the Uninhabited Region. Back then, we didn't recognize her, but upon seeing a human intruding into the Uninhabited Region, we flew into a rage and rushed over to deal with her. In the end … we were all severely injured!"
Recalling the situation back then, Shark One asked.
Back then, it was only a Heavenly High Immortal, so it was natural that it wouldn't be a match for a Semi-Divinity realm expert.
"After that, she used the blood of our immortal beasts as a sacrifice to tear open the heavens and summon the god. She failed the first time, so she tried again, but due to the exhaustion of her energy, she ended up turning into an old lady. We thought that we would be dead for good, but … the god appeared! "
Speaking of the god, Shark One couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"As the chief of Starchaser Palace didn't possess sufficient strength, the spatial barrier was still too strong for the god to pass through. However, the god was extremely decisive. Despite being severely injured by the spatial barrier, she forced her way through. The backlash from the spatial storm was extremely powerful, so she ended up losing quite a bit of blood.
"The three of us were already injured in the first place, so when we saw the god's blood dripping down, we thought that we would die anyway, so we swallowed a droplet each. After that … we fell unconscious. As for what happened after that, we aren't too sure."
"You aren't too sure? Didn't you say that the god had left earlier? "
Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
"I saw it," Shark Three replied as he swam over. "I'm a coward, so I swallowed the blood a little later. I vaguely saw the god patting the chief of Starchaser Palace, and the latter reverted back to her youthful appearance. She said something, and shortly after that, someone seemed to have performed another ritual before tearing open the heavens and diving into the Uninhabited Region. "
"Another ritual?"
Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
Most likely, Sovereign Chen Yong had performed a ritual before Lozosy crossed the spatial barrier and entered the Master Teacher Continent.
Perhaps, it was due to the severe injuries she sustained from crossing the spatial barrier twice that she decided to disguise herself as a 6-star master teacher.
Of course, this was just Zhang Xuan's conjecture. He would have to meet the chief of Starchaser Palace and ask her about it.
Zhang Xuan took out the image of Lozosy and asked the three beasts to identify it. However, just like the Blackback Tortoise, they were able to remember what had happened back then, but when it came to her appearance and details, they couldn't remember anything at all.
"How did you recognize this pendant as the token of the god?"
The three sharks couldn't even remember the appearance of the god, so how did they recognize the pendant?
"The god was able to tear open the spatial barrier and enter the Uninhabited Region through this pendant! That pendant is as dazzling as the sun. We saw it with our own eyes, so there's no way we wouldn't remember it! "
Shark One said.
Even if they had forgotten the details, they wouldn't forget the major events that had transpired two months ago.
Due to the exhaustion of the chief of Starchaser Palace, the ritual hadn't been completed yet. Under normal circumstances, the god wouldn't have been able to cross over to the Uninhabited Region. It was through this pendant that she was able to break through the spatial barrier and succeed.
It was because she remembered the pendant that she saw on the young man's chest that she dared not make a move on him anymore.
Considering how a droplet of the blood of the god was able to help them achieve a breakthrough, even if the young man before them wasn't a god, there was no doubt that he had some sort of connection with the god.
Arrogant, unyielding, and unyielding?
None of those existed before the god.
"This pendant is able to tear open the spatial barrier?"
Zhang Xuan held the pendant in his hand as he tried to infuse his zhenqi into it, but there was no change at all.
He tried using the Eye of Insight, Eye of Insight, and all of his zhenqi, but the pendant was no different from an ordinary pendant.
"Perhaps it's because my cultivation isn't high enough …"
Recalling the sight of his cultivation going berserk, Zhang Xuan shook his head in disappointment.
Since Lozosy was willing to give this pendant to him, it was bound to be extraordinary. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to suppress the inner demons that the Library of Heaven's Path had triggered.
"Since you've submitted to me, follow me. It just so happens that I need your help as well! "
Zhang Xuan said as he stowed the pendant away.
With the allegiance of the three sharks, he would have four Semi-Divinity realm beasts under his command. On top of that, he would have five Semi-Divinity realm beasts protecting him.
With this, the Hall of Gods would have to think twice before making a move on him.
He took out Little Chick's bathwater and fed it to the injured sharks.
After which, he asked about the god blood once more.
After learning that only the three fishes and the Blackback Tortoise had successfully achieved a breakthrough, the remaining blood had dissipated into the sea, leaving only the drop that Little Chick had consumed. Zhang Xuan shook his head.
If there was still a drop of blood left, he might be able to take a look at it.
It was a pity, but getting Little Chick to spit it out … would be difficult.
Zhang Xuan extracted quite a bit of blood from the three sharks and fed it to the Serpentine Dragon and the others, but the latter was still unable to achieve a breakthrough.
It seemed like reaching the Semi-Divinity realm was no easy feat. Even with the backing of a Semi-Divinity realm expert, it would still be difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough.
After dealing with the matters here, Zhang Xuan kept Shark Two, Shark Three, and the Blackback Tortoise into his tamed beast sack before riding Shark One back to Starchaser Island.
…
While Zhang Xuan was in the Vacant Sea, the group from the Myriad Beasts Hall, who were rushing over on their aerial immortal beasts, received a message from the Seven Star Pavilion.
"Elder Qin Yuan, what's the matter?" Elder Liao asked.
"The Seven Star Pavilion has chosen a new hall master …"
Elder Qin Yuan said as he looked at the Communication Jade Token in his hand.
Elder Liao was taken aback. "Who is it?"
"It's a young man named Liu Yang. He's only at Heavenly High Immortal realm, but he's already mastered all of the battle techniques of the Seven Star Pavilion.
Elder Qin Yuan replied.
Who could have thought that just as their Myriad Beasts Hall had chosen a new hall master, the Seven Star Pavilion had chosen a new hall master as well?
It seemed like the world was no longer as peaceful as it used to be!
"Liu Yang … I've never heard of him before!"
Elder Liao nodded.
The same news also reached the ears of those from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion who were rushing over.
This time around, there were only Han Jianqiu, He Tian, and a few others from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
However, the young man from Starchaser Palace, Wu Chen, who had come to look for their hall master, was following behind them.
"Just as we chose a new hall master, Zhang Xuan, the Myriad Beasts Hall and the Seven Star Pavilion chose to follow suit …" Han Jianqiu shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Follow suit? What do you mean? "
First Elder He Tian asked in bewilderment.
"The Myriad Beasts Hall chose a young hall master a few days ago, and his name is Zheng Yang. As a matter of fact, the Seven Star Pavilion also followed suit and announced that they had chosen a young man as their hall master. His name is Liu Yang! "
Han Jianqiu explained.
"Zheng Yang? Liu Yang? Zhang Xuan? "
Wu Chen, who was following behind the crowd, had a troubled look on his face when he heard the news. His lips twitched as a bizarre expression surfaced on his face. "Why do I feel like … they're the same person?"
