451 Chapter 449 Stone Qilin Advancemen

Common people path dao palace, within that 1st Courtyard A.

Chuxue was holding onto the stone qilin in her arms while worryingly looking at the spiritual formation she learned how to draw in the college.

The baby stone qilin in her hands was also covered in runes. It was innocently opening its eyes and looking forwards at this mysterious looking male being and its own master playing around with itself.

It took a total of 10 days from the center of the Guangling Han Ocean back to the common people path dao palace

The moment he returned, Zong Shou had started preparing to merge the remaining soul of the black qilin beast into the soul of the stone qilin baby.

However, Chuxue felt that this wasn't reliable. She looked towards Zong Shou with doubt, "Young master, I asked sister Yanran and sister Yunlan, and they all said that in this world there is no such thing as protector beast soul merger and also raising of bloodline rank. Even if others snatch bodies they will have to wipe away the soul of the original body. Young Master, you can't lie to Xue'er…"

Zong Shou couldn't help but roll his eyes. If Souls couldn't merge, then what happened to him?

In his heart, he was a little nervous. This technique was invented by people in the future. It also wasn't a complete merger of the soul but injecting the combat memory and a portion of this black spirit beast's innate powers into the consciousness of the stone qilin baby. Then using its soul to bring out the bloodline legacy of the stone qilin baby to raise its grade.

However, this was the 1st time Zong Shou was using it. In the last life, he had just jotted down this secret technique, as for whether or not he missed anything out he wasn't sure.

His face didn't show anything weird, calm and confident. He said with disdain, "Don't worry! When have you seen your prince do anything without confidence? Yanran, Yunlan? Tsk tsk, their spiritual cultivation is indeed not bad, but they are just frogs at the bottom of the well. A small Return to Sun realm spirit master would dare say that this word has no soul merge techniques. What a lie. Who cares! Anyways, how would they know how profound my technique is? Your ruler self created it. It takes from heaven and earth to transform…"

Without any remorse, he snatched the work of other people and spread it as his own work.

At this moment Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan were listening on the side. When they heard those words, the latter was still okay, being slightly more interested. Could Zong Shou do it? The former felt like her lungs were going to explode in anger.

Thinking that if they were small Return to Sun realm spirit masters, wasn't he too? She had never heard of a grade 6 spirit master creating new techniques. It would most probably be a lie.

Chuxue believed it. She was halfway to believing him when she was filled with total respect and trust. She thought that her young master was such an amazing person, so he probably shouldn't be lying, right?

Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan were strong, but her ruler was 100 times even stronger, so he was most probably not lying to her.

Hesitating for a moment, Chuxue still placed the stone qilin baby in her arms into the center of the spiritual formation. She caringly calmed it down so that the uneasiness in it disappeared.

Then, she said towards Zong Shou doubtfully, "Young master you mustn't hurt it! If not Chuxue would…"

She couldn't finish her sentence. She wanted to say that she would ignore him in the future, but that was inappropriate for her identity as a maid; she would go all out against him but she didn't know in what way would she.

In the end, Chuxue gritted her teeth, "Chuxue will bite you!"

The people around all burst out laughing, Zong Yuan also couldn't take it, his lips twitching.

Zong Shou was startled for a moment, he could feel the killing intent within her words. Thinking to himself that this little brat cared so much about these few spiritual pets.

He couldn't help but feel guilty, should he perfect it a little first? However, now it was too late to back down and he could only learn from those grandmasters and take a gamble.

"Bullshit! It will only be helpful for it. Why would I harm it?"

He grabbed 10 grade 6 soul stones with his hand, crushing them all. When he chanted out, the formation under him instantly let out a pale green glow, soul power spreading all about.

The stone qilin baby in the middle of the formation was being tightly bounded by an invisible force.

Zong Shou's heart jumped, why green? Based on what the book described when this formation was activated, it should gather up red, blue, and black colored spiritual light.

Looking around, there wasn't anything wrong about it. Zong Shou stopped caring at took out the soul crystal with was formed from the black qilin beast soul.

Seemingly knowing its fate, that soul beast was struggling crazily. However, Zong Shou forcefully suppressed it so that it couldn't move at all.

A moment later, Zong Shou did several complicated hand signs and that soul crystal instantly exploded.

A mist turned into hundreds, and thousands of them and spread all about this spiritual formation. This being also had threads of pure spiritual energy which injected in from the center of the baby beast's brows.

Zong Shou looked around once more, sweeping with his spiritual sense to deduce the black mist that came out.

These were all the memories of the black qilin beast soul. What Zong Shou needed to do was to look at them one by one and place the useful ones into the consciousness of the stone qilin baby.

At this moment, the people looking on at the side were shocked. Apart from Zong Yuan, the other 3 were skilled in spiritual cultivation, and their eyes were filled with astonishment.

Before this, they didn't think Zong Shou could do it. Now that Zong Shou was doing it step by step, they understood the theories behind the soul merger technique.

Their hearts jumped up. If they could succeed, wouldn't the protector beast's growth be no weaker than those soul beasts which could swallow beast crystals to advance?

Chuxue tightly clenched her fists. She was extremely nervous as she looked at the center of the formation. She saw the stone qilin beast closing its eyes. It was filled with pain as it gave out a painful squeal.

If she wasn't worried that disturbing the formation and instead cause the opposite effect, there were many times when she wanted to charge in and carry out her little rock.

Then, a huge mental aura suddenly rose and pressed down on the entire courtyard.

The stone qilin baby which was in the center of the formation suddenly stood up, a yellow glow shining all about its body.

Its claws and teeth started to change, continuously growing longer, appearing sharp. Around its body, there would be scales which stretched out from its skin. Beneath its 4 hooves, a yellow-colored flame rose, making it give off a majestic aura.

"Grade 7!"

Yanran and Yunlan were both shocked, exchanging glances with one another. Not only grade 7, but the majesty from it also seemed to be the aura of a god beast.

This stone qilin baby seemed to have awakened the ancient qilin bloodline. Its physical body was also in an intense change!

Zong Shou's eyes were filled with joy. Out of the 5 spirits, the qilin sat in the middle. And within the 5 elements, the terra element was often seeded as the source of metal, wood, fire, and water.

Terra fed all beings. Out of the 5 spirit god beast technique, what was most important was the center qilin. The strength of it depended on this stone qilin whether or not it could support the soul power of the other 4 beasts as well as provide enough spiritual energy.

This was why when Zong Shou saw that black qilin beast in the tomb, he would be so surprised. That's why he was willing to take the risk to capture it.

A moment later that floating black fog was several portions smaller. Zong Shou stopped looking at it and used a spell to dissipate its body,

However when he stopped the spiritual formation under his feet, when the spiritual energy and soul power gathered here dissipated, he was startled.

The energy of the stone qilin baby was swiftly decreasing, it didn't have the aura from before. The scales and claws were all returning to their previous state.

"Why did its grade drop once more."

A short moment later, the stone qilin baby returned to grade 7, and the god beast specialties were also disappearing.

Zong Shou had no idea why it had retracted back? Did he make any mistakes?

The only thing he felt fortunate about was that he could feel that this stone qilin baby was a little different from before. It gave off a more dangerous aura.

Apart from that, Zong Shou thought something was wrong with the little fellow.

Those wet eyes still looked so innocent and pathetic. Its muscles were stronger, it seemed more muscular and powerful…

Zong Shou came back to his senses. The original grey beast skin of the stone qilin baby at this moment had turned into pure black, dark and swarthy.

Gazing to the side, he saw Chuxue staring over furiously.

Zong Shou instantly laughed out loud, looking into the sky, "It isn't early anymore, it's time to start cultivating…"

Just as he wanted to walk away and hide in his room, he felt a fragrance waft over.

Zong Shou knew that it wasn't good. He changed his body shape several times but was unable to move aside.

Following which his right hand was grabbed, a sharp pain spread out. When he looked carefully, it was Xue'er biting hard onto his hand.

"Xue'er you aren't a cat! You really bit me ah…"

The moment he said those words, he recalled that Chuxue was indeed from the tiger cat bloodline.

However, Zong Shou's eyes were filled with more shock.

Although he knew that his bodily movement was not as good as his sword path, ever since he changed his dual meridian body he became more nimble. Normal people couldn't catch up to him.

The ice and fire true qi within his body collided with one another and he didn't even need to use its strength usually. Along with himself going through tens of thousands of battles in the game world, he was extremely experienced. Even people who were several times more skilled than him in movement techniques wouldn't be able to catch him.

Just now, not only did Chuxue do it, but she used her martial ancestor, a Xuanwu ancestor, strength to suppress him!

The joy in Zong Shou's eyes grew even thicker.

...Chuxue's intuition advancing was another surprise. Which also meant that her combat martial body had improved.

Following which Zong Shou came back to his senses due to intense pain. Chuxue seemed to hate him to the bone as he bit down heavily, not willing to let go.

Zong Shou tried his best to fling her away but was unable to. Just as he was about to threaten her to say, "If you don't let go I am going to touch your chest", a bell rang out which deafened the ear. Then, it couldn't stop. 6 consecutive sounds as it rang out within the common people path dao palace.
