Chapter 151 Suspicion and Overthinking (Part 2)
Dou Qi Continent, Monster Mountain Range.
Amethyst Winged Lion King Cave.
Since my last conversation with that mysterious human.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King never had a day of peace.
Doubt, shock, caution—various emotions repeated themselves, surging and intertwining in the days that followed.
On the first day, it was only slightly wary of the two Azure Bull Pythons and Titan Giant Apes that were left behind, which possessed the potential of the sixth rank. It did not restrict their movements and was still observing and considering.
But the next few days were different.
Three days later, in addition to the snake and the monkey, another being arrived who could completely prove that the human's words were not false!
No, it cannot be simply called a human; it is a fully transformed magical beast! A living, breathing sixth-tier soul beast with a complete human form, pure bloodline, and restored to the level of a fourth-tier Dou Ling.
Her recovery was much faster than the Amethyst Winged Lion King had anticipated, even astonishingly fast.
The only problem was that the rabbit had a foul mouth and an arrogant attitude. But under the other party's display and the strong sense of déjà vu, it endured it no matter how the other party provoked it, or even teased its son like a pet.
It can't be called mere forbearance; it's more like an observation fueled by a mixture of curiosity and apprehension after attempts to expel the enemy failed.
During that time, it also witnessed the rabbit's process of cultivating human techniques, which was a true path to transformation that could potentially break through the seventh-order barrier!
It admits that it was moved at that time.
Yet it still suppressed this impulse, remaining hesitant.
A few days later, perhaps because the rabbit had not met some requirement, the mysterious human reappeared, only to give it a deep look with a hint of disappointment and sigh in his eyes, before disappearing again.
For some inexplicable reason, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a sense of relief.
I'm glad I didn't rashly agree or attack.
It feels like a bait that's been constantly thrown out.
But it could also sense that the human's patience was wearing thin, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more like a silent urging, tempting it to react.
Driven by this inexplicable intuition, it even had the urge to flee the Monster Mountain Range with its offspring, but this rising panic was ultimately suppressed by its pride and desire.
It wanted to wait a little longer and learn more.
until yesterday.
A fully-fledged sixth-order magical beast, whose life force was incredibly powerful and whose cultivation level was slightly higher than its own, actually performed the so-called transformation technique right in front of it!
After the light faded, a stunningly beautiful woman with emerald hair and a green dress appeared in the spot, her aura pure yet powerful.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's mind was completely shaken at that time.
After all, the life force emanating from that sixth-tier magical beast was so impressive that even it was shocked, and its cultivation level was also higher. This meant that humanity's target was not just it, but many more powerful beings.
My repeated hesitation and refusals may have been perceived by the other party as a lack of respect or indecisiveness.
It admitted that it was even more panicked.
Especially after that sixth-tier, noble and peaceful magical beast transformed, the panic, amazement and desire for a higher level intertwined wildly in his heart, and it was hard to calm down.
Even today, its mind is still not completely at peace.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was dozing, its huge eyelids slightly open, glancing out of the cave.
There, several figures were standing.
The mysterious human man, a serene woman with blue hair and a blue dress whose aura was of the same origin as the man's, a pink-clad rabbit, and the stunningly beautiful woman in a green dress who joined the group yesterday.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King could sense that the atmosphere outside the cave was not relaxed, but rather somewhat stagnant. It composed itself and quietly observed, trying to glean more information from the scene.
Outside the cave.
"You guys lied to me."
Brigitte remained silent for a long time before softly uttering these words, her emerald eyes filled with complex emotions.
-
She made a tremendous decision, even prepared to sacrifice her life for the future of the soul beasts and to heal the Blue Silver Emperor, but what was ultimately revealed was a lie.
But—another world?
Biji couldn't help but raise her eyes again, sensing the energy of heaven and earth that was completely different from that of the Douluo Continent.
Although she couldn't accept it all immediately, after a morning of exploration and adaptation, she was certain that this was definitely not Douluo Continent. As for the higher realm that Lan Yinhuang and Xiao Wu mentioned, although she couldn't verify it immediately, with the miraculous "Mysterious Wood Skill" before her, she wasn't entirely distrustful.
The complexity of my feelings is difficult to describe in words.
The explanation given by the other party for this lie, however, was so appealing that she found it hard to refuse.
Explore this world freely!
Not only this mountain range, but also human settlements can be visited to experience rules and treatment completely different from those in the Douluo Continent.
Here, as long as you are strong enough, whether you are human or beast, you seem to be able to gain respect based on strength.
And this was exactly what she longed for deep down—to verify it herself and find out for herself.
She couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"I'm sorry, Sister Brigitte."
Xiao Wu grabbed Bi Ji's arm and shook it affectionately, her face showing a hint of apology, but mostly excitement. "Isn't this the world we've always longed for? The future of the beast race is no longer suppressed by the world; whether they can break through depends on their own strength and efforts."
"The law of the jungle is the foundation of our survival. Here, there are no shackles or insurmountable barriers."
Now that they're all in the same boat, there's no need to dwell on that little bit of strategy from back then.
She also believed that as long as a soul beast truly understood the vastness and possibilities of this world, it would be unable to refuse.
Moreover, with Xiao Yan's talent and their advantages, they are destined to reach the pinnacle!
It did not violate the requirements made during the previous sacrifice.
Brigitte remained silent again, offering no response.
Xiao Wu wasn't anxious when she saw that she didn't speak.
She understood that Brigitte did not yet fully understand the world and still had doubts about their claims.
The best solution, as Xiao Yan said, is to take her out so she can see for herself and experience it firsthand.
No one can resist the allure of a higher world, especially for Biji, who cares deeply about the fate of the entire soul beast race.
Since he hadn't completed his previous "provocative" mission while Brigitte was training, his mission has now been changed to accompanying her and easing Brigitte's psychological resentment at being "semi-forced" onto the ship.
After all, they'll be a family that spends a long time together from now on.
"Let's go, Sister Brigitte!"
Without waiting for a reply, Xiao Wu grabbed Bi Ji and headed towards the outer edge of the Monster Mountain Range, chattering on and on, "We've finally arrived in a new world, I'll show you some even more interesting things! The humans here use all sorts of herbs to refine magical items called pills, and they also have combat techniques and secret methods that they can cultivate on their own, which are much more flexible than spirit rings! You've only just begun your cultivation journey, and battle qi is much more interesting than soul power—"
Brigitte hesitated only slightly before her mind was drawn forward by Xiao Wu's rapid-fire words and undeniable pull.
As she left, she glanced back at the calmly standing man who had accepted all of her Blue Silver Emperor.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly to her.
With this complex and unspeakable hesitation, Brigitte was pulled along by Xiao Wu, and their figures gradually disappeared into the forest.
Until the two figures completely disappeared.
Xiao Yan's lips curved into a slight smile.
He didn't think Brigitte was stupid; it was only out of trust in her clan, her inner guilt, her responsibility for the future of the soul beasts, and her persistence in hoping to change the fate of her clan that she acted when faced with a possibility.
Willing to pay a huge price to believe.
With cultivation techniques as a revolutionary foundation and the harsh reality that soul beasts cannot become gods as a catalyst, the power of change becomes so irresistible.
He now realized more clearly that a cultivation technique that allows one to cultivate independently and break through the age limit is far more important to high-level soul beasts that can take human form than he had previously estimated.
The fact that soul beasts cannot become gods means that the limits of the vast majority of soul beasts are locked below that line.
Even a cultivation technique, if it's only at the Yellow Rank, can become the key to unlocking that barrier in the hands of a soul beast with enough talent and experience!
The hope for the revival of the Soul Beast race—no wonder Bi Ji values it so much, and is even willing to take risks.
However, the root cause of suppressing the soul beast race is actually related to "gods"?
Brigitte only revealed this vaguely, and the information was limited.
But at least it proves that in the world of Douluo Continent, the power level can reach above Dou Zong, and its value and potential assistance are no less than Yao Lao's treasure trove of knowledge.
However, the fact that inheriting a divine position will be observed by the gods is a significant factor.
A deep look flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he put it aside for the time being.
He achieved his primary goal in what he did, but the secondary goal—
Xiao Yan glanced at the Amethyst Winged Lion King inside the cave out of the corner of his eye.
Some time ago, he deliberately brought the rabbit to show off his cultivation results in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the other party tolerated it.
Yesterday, they asked Brigitte to transform on the spot, but the opponent still remained unmoved.
How could this Amethyst Winged Lion King be so patient?
After Brigitte completed the "sacrifice", his level increased dramatically. Unfortunately, in order to keep Brigitte in an independent spiritual state like Xiao Wu and the others, he had to use the power of Amen again.
Therefore, even after acquiring Bi Ji as a new companion and obtaining a new soul bone, the level increase is still controlled at level five, level seventy-five, corresponding to a five-star Dou Ling.
Although this speed of improvement is already astonishing, even more exaggerated than Xiao Yan devouring the strange fire.
However, his anticipated secondary objective, which would have prompted or forced the Amethyst Winged Lion King to make a clear choice, was not fully achieved.
However, he exceeded expectations in achieving other goals as well.
The giant snake and the monkey diligently planted a large amount of Blue Silver Grass around the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave and in a wider area, so that the cave was a blend of blue and gold as far as the eye could see.
Since receiving a certain degree of tacit approval from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the two beasts communicated and spread Blue Silver Grass all over the Monster Mountain Range.
Aside from low-level magical beasts that act solely on instinct, widespread adoption will take time. However, any magical beast that has developed intelligence and possesses a certain level of wisdom will inevitably have Blue Silver Grass near its territory or habitat.
This was not only due to the efforts of the two beasts, but also because the Amethyst Winged Lion King had given a vague order after Xiao Yan and the rabbit had "inspected" the area.
It is claimed that this special blue silver grass can improve the violent energy of heaven and earth, which is beneficial to the growth and advancement of magical beast offspring.
The reason sounded a bit far-fetched, but under the authority of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the gentle energy actually provided by the Blue Silver Grass, the magical beasts under its command believed it, or at least stopped rejecting it.
Xiao Yan gently closed his eyes, and the Blue Silver Domain silently unfolded.
In an instant, all the scenes of the Monster Mountain Range covered by Blue Silver Grass came into his perception.
Even the hidden cave where he obtained the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map was among them.
This puts him in a somewhat awkward position.
One of his initial goals was to spread Blue Silver Grass throughout the Monster Mountain Range, and the biggest obstacle was the monster forces that occupied the area, especially their leader, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
That's why he identified the Amethyst Winged Lion King as the target that needed to be addressed.
But things took an unexpected turn.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King not only did not become an obstacle, but also tacitly approved and even promoted the expansion of Blue Silver Grass to some extent, becoming a "friendly party" or at least a "neutral partner".
However, all of Xiao Yan's previous arrangements and provocations were based on placing the other party at the level of a "hypothetical enemy".
"That's a bit contradictory—"
Xiao Yan pondered to himself, his gaze returning to the deep cave. What exactly was this lion planning?
Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly heard the sound of steady footsteps and the friction of rocks coming from the cave behind him.
The massive body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, bathed in the sunlight pouring in from outside the cave, slowly emerged.
It had just keenly sensed the dissipation of the stagnant atmosphere outside the cave, and also noticed Xiao Yan's scrutinizing gaze directed into the cave.
The lion king felt a chill run down its spine. After a moment's hesitation, it turned its massive head slightly and glanced at the little lion king, who was still carefree playing with the broken crystals deep in the cave. A complex light flashed in its eyes.
Can't wait any longer.
In less than a month, the methods the other party displayed, the power it gathered, and the possibility of subverting common sense weighed heavily on its heart like a boulder that was constantly being pressed down.
It had a clear premonition that if it continued to remain silent and observe, this seemingly calm human would probably no longer maintain this superficial "invitation" posture.
It could not let this opportunity, so close yet so far, which could change its own and its offspring's fate, slip away.
Transformation is the necessary path to a higher level, the most instinctive desire and pursuit deep within the heart of every intelligent magical beast.
Give up? Its lifespan is short; it has been stuck at the sixth rank for many years, and there is no longer any hope of a breakthrough.
Is this where life ends? No, even if not for itself, but for the continuation of its bloodline, for the little lion king to have a broader, more unrestricted future, it must—
The amethyst flames surrounding the Amethyst Winged Lion King flickered and ebbed as its emotions churned.
The beast's eyes met Xiao Yan's gaze as he turned around.
There was no roar, just a calm and resolute stance.
It made the decision.
"Human, I believe in you!"
