On the Limitless Continent, in the forest of a thousand mountains.
A simple sacrificial ceremony was being carried out.
The reason why it was called simple was because the offerings were all normal. Though there were many of them, none of them were valuable.
However, everyone in the Wu Qing Tribe was respectful, holy, and serious.
They knelt on the ground and clasped their hands together in extreme sincerity.
"Heaven has mercy. Please send down an Original Spirit Beast. Let the Wu Qing Tribe have a powerhouse to fight against our enemies."
A grey-haired elder spoke. His tone was respectful and his expression was sincere.
Everyone else was the same. Their eyes were full of hope.
They repeated the elder's words over and over again, hoping that the Heavens would move them and send down an Original Spirit Beast.
Sadly, there was no response.
The offerings were untouched and the sky above them did not change at all.
This made the elder's eyes dim and he couldn't help but to sigh.
Everyone else did the same.
They sighed and some of their eyes were already filled with tears.
This ceremony was far too important. It concerned the life and death of everyone in the tribe. The situation before their eyes meant that they had failed. Why wouldn't everyone feel hopeless?
Just then, a silhouette descended from the sky and landed on top of the altar with a bang.
It was Ling Xian.
Though he had escaped from the terrifying force, he was heavily injured and had fallen into a coma. Now that he had fallen from the sky, his bones were broken and his injuries worsened.
"This is … an Original Spirit Beast?"
The elder was startled. Everyone else was stunned as well.
They rubbed their eyes, finding it hard to believe that the heavily injured Ling Xian was the legendary Original Spirit Beast. Yet, he fell from the sky and answered the ceremony.
"Leader, what is going on?" A man who looked like the leader asked the question on everyone's mind.
"I don't know either."
The elder shook his head. Looking at the heavily injured Ling Xian, he frowned, "It's not that humanoid Original Spirit Beasts don't exist, but they are extremely rare. Even the royal kind and the holy kind may not have one."
"Maybe we moved the Heavens." The man hesitated and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Even he himself didn't believe this, but he hoped it was true.
Everyone else felt the same way.
The Wu Qing Tribe really needed the Original Spirit Beast. Even though they knew it was impossible, they wanted to believe it. "I don't care anymore."
The old man hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and said, "No matter if he is a human or a primordial divine beast, let Qingwan sign a contract with him first."
"Alright."
The man nodded heavily. He called a young girl onto the altar and said, "Have you grasped the contract technique?"
"I've mastered it."
The young girl hesitantly looked at Ling Xian and said, "Father, I don't think he is an Original Spirit Beast. We might not be able to sign a contract."
"We can't care about that anymore. Our Wu Qing Tribe is in imminent danger. This is our last hope."
"Whether he's a human or an Essence Divine Beast, I have to give it a try."
"If he's the legendary humanoid Primordial Divine Beast, then our Wu Qing Tribe will have hope."
The man sighed, his tiger-like eyes flashing with hope.
"Alright, I'll try."
The young girl bit her lips. Although her face was covered in camouflage paint, it could not hide her delicate and pretty appearance.
She walked in front of the unconscious Ling Xian. Her hand moved in the air and she began to chant.
Instantly, a strange pattern appeared and landed on Ling Xian.
The next moment, the strange pattern was bounced off, and the girl's Qi and blood surged, her pretty face pale.
However, she did not give up.
Her gaze was determined as she continued to chant. The pattern once again landed on Ling Xian's body.
This time, the pattern wasn't bounced off. Instead, it imprinted itself between Ling Xian's brows.
What could he do? After all, he was heavily injured and was in a deep coma. He naturally had no way of resisting.
"Success! He is the legendary humanoid Primordial Divine Beast!"
"Hahaha, we are saved! Our Wu Qing Tribe has hope!"
"Thank God for sending down a humanoid Primordial Divine Beast to save our tribe!"
Everyone was laughing out loud, full of joy.
A humanoid Primordial Divine Beast was one of the strongest Primordial Divine Beasts. Even the Holy Kind may not have one.
However, the Wu Qing Tribe possessed it. This was simply a peerless fortune!
"Haha, I told you he was a humanoid Primordial Divine Beast. I was right." The man was ecstatic, proud of his correct judgment.
"I cannot believe that in my lifetime, I would be able to see a legendary humanoid Primordial Divine Beast." The elder exclaimed, finding it hard to hide his happiness.
The young girl was even more so.
She originally thought she would get a normal Primordial Divine Beast. After all, the sacrifice was far too normal. How could it move God?
She didn't think that God would take pity on her and send down a legendary Primordial Divine Beast!
"Don't be afraid. I will heal you right now."
Looking at the unconscious Ling Xian, the young girl smiled brightly. Like she was looking at her lover, she was extremely gentle.
She began to chant an incantation and a mysterious force appeared, attempting to suck Ling Xian into his soul.
The result was that she failed.
This startled the young girl. Everyone froze as well.
"What is happening? Could it be that he isn't an Primordial Divine Beast? "
"But if he isn't, how could he sign a contract with Qing Wan?"
"Perhaps a humanoid Primordial Divine Beast is special and cannot absorb souls."
Everyone chimed in, confused.
The reason why an Primordial Divine Beast has the word "soul" in its name is because it can merge with one's soul. However, the young girl could not absorb Ling Xian's soul. Naturally, everyone was confused.
"A humanoid Primordial Divine Beast is extremely mysterious and has many unbelievable abilities. It makes sense that it cannot absorb a soul."
The elder thought about it and said, "Let's heal him first. After he heals, perhaps he can absorb a soul."
"But his wounds are far too heavy. If we don't absorb a soul, how can we heal him?"
The young girl frowned. The way she looked at Ling Xian was full of heartache.
It wasn't that she liked him, it was that the contract had been signed. Ling Xian was now her pet. Naturally, she felt heartache.
"Aye, I have a healing medicine here. Let him consume it first."
The elder sighed. Suppressing his heartache, he took out an extraordinary spiritual medicine.
"Leader, this is the main medicine to cure your hidden injuries. Without it, you …" The man lost his composure.
The young girl's expression changed as well, "Leader, let's think of something else. No matter what, we cannot use your life-saving treasure."
"Aye, I am already old. Even if my hidden injuries are cured, I can at most live another 20 years. I am useless to the tribe."
The elder sighed, "The humanoid Primordial Divine Beast is the hope of the Wu Qing Tribe. Naturally, we have to prioritize him."
Then, he dissolved the spiritual medicine into its essence and poured it into Ling Xian's body.
After some time, Ling Xian's breathing calmed down. Though he was still weak, he was finally out of the gates of hell.
"After a few months of rest, he should be able to wake up."
Looking at the bloodied Ling Xian, the elder mumbled, "I have given you all the life-saving treasures. I hope you can save the Wu Qing Tribe."
Then, he marched forward and walked down the altar.
Seeing this, everyone left one by one. Their faces were full of hope.
"Don't disappoint me. Don't disappoint the entire tribe …"
The young girl mumbled. She carried Ling Xian on her back and headed home.
