Chapter 146 - Blessing of the Penglai Immortal Beast

“Have I been asleep for too long? How can the human cultivators a thousand years later be so powerful? Their cultivation isn’t that high.”

“I think you’ve slept too much. Can’t you tell? They must have hidden their strength. How can they take out such a powerful pill so casually?”

“You’re right. You really can’t judge a book by its cover. These people are too powerful. They even managed to hide it from us.”

“The human cultivators a thousand years later are too terrifying.”

In the face of the whispers of the Penglai Immortal Beasts, the Tai Qing Sect did not feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, they were all noobs. The real big boss was Ye Xuan.

They recalled the time when they saw Ye Xuan take out those things and tools, and their reaction was just like the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

Behind them, there were a few Penglai Immortal Beasts who had transformed. Without exception, all of them had successfully transformed after taking the medicinal pills. They had turned into children, each of them with delicate features.

The girls looked like the attendants of Guan Yin. However, when they thought of this group of seemingly innocent children, who were actually more than a thousand years old, the people of the Tai Qing Sect had a strange expression.

“After we took the pill and transformed, we didn’t feel any discomfort. However, our strength became weaker. I think it’s because the curse hasn’t been completely broken.”

“What? There’s such a situation?”

However, thinking about it, it made sense. Although Ye Xuan’s pills helped them successfully transform and avoid the end of decay and death, the curse of their bloodline was not broken.

This news made the clan leader a little worried, but at the same time, the clan leader was even more amazed by the magical power of Ye Xuan’s pills.

What kind of heaven-defying pill was this to be able to completely ignore the power of the curse and help them transform? The effects of the pill were simply too powerful.

After all, they had tried many methods before and had not succeeded. Even on Penglai Immortal Island, they had not found such magical pills, but Ye Xuan had taken out so many of them casually.

Who the h*ll was he?!

The clan leader looked at the calm Ye Xuan, and its heart was in turmoil. His cultivation was obviously low, but his bearing was extraordinary. The more it looked at him, the more unfathomable Ye Xuan felt.

If it was him, he might be able to help…

“Clan Leader! Clan Leader!”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts shouted for a long time before the clan leader finally came back to its senses.

“Clan Leader, you don’t have to worry. The curse only prevented us from transforming. Now that we’ve broken through, I think it won’t harm our lives anymore. We just need to find a chance to remove the curse and there won’t be any more worries.”

What he said made sense. Although the curse was still there, it didn’t have much of an impact. It was better than the result of the entire clan being annihilated.

And all of this was because of Ye Xuan. He had given out all the transformation pills, so there was no need to worry at all for the time being. At least for a few hundred years, they could sit back and relax.

The clan leader slowly floated in Ye Xuan’s direction, as if it had made some kind of decision.

“You have the Penglai Immortal Stone and have saved my Penglai Immortal Beast clan. It can be seen that you have a deep fate with us. I have a presumptuous request. I hope you can find the Penglai Immortal Island and lead my clan back to our homeland.”

The clan leader’s tone was like it was leaving behind its last words, causing the Penglai Immortal Beasts to feel somewhat uneasy.

They had finally reunited, but they were about to face a life-and-death separation.

“Clan Leader, are you leaving?”

“I should have left a thousand years ago. Now, I’m just a remnant of my thoughts. Seeing that you have successfully transformed and avoided the fate of death, I can be completely relieved.”

“Now that you’ve settled down, I should take the rest of my clansmen and return to the netherworld.”

The clan leader’s voice gradually became ethereal.

A ball of light separated from its body again and then burrowed into Ye Xuan’s body. After doing all this, it became even dimmer, as if it would be extinguished by the wind.

Ye Xuan felt his entire body being enveloped by a warm power, and he fell into an unprecedented peace of mind. At the same time, the system’s notification rang in his ear.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of consuming the transformation pills.]

[Mission reward: 10000 prodigal points]

[Special Reward: Blessing Of The Penglai Immortal Beasts]

“I’ll leave my clan in your care. Please take good care of them…”

As its voice fell, these light spots slowly rose and then dissipated in the air.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts’ sorrowful voice reverberated throughout the underground palace. They cried out, “Clan Leader!”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts, who had successfully transformed, looked at the light of the fireflies above their heads, which illuminated their long and dark path that had lasted for thousands of years.

Other than the clan leader, there were also those who had sacrificed themselves a thousand years ago in order to win a chance of survival.

Some of them had been forgotten in the long river of history, and even their names had become blurred, but they would always remember the figures of them sacrificing themselves for the race without hesitation.

No one spoke, and even the eyes of the Tai Qing Sect disciples were a little damp.

A silent solemness filled the space as everyone watched the group of remnant souls leave.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh, “If there’s a next life, I hope you all can be carefree.”

These Penglai Immortal Beasts who had sacrificed themselves had found out in the end that the wait a thousand years ago was actually a scam. All their hopes had been dashed. It was unknown how they felt.

Although the mysterious man had deceived the Penglai Immortal Beasts and used them, he had sealed the rest of the Penglai Immortal Beasts so that they could live.

A thousand years later, Ye Xuan helped them and created the current situation. It could be said that they were unfortunate, but they were also lucky.

The process was somewhat tortuous, but it was still satisfactory. Although the Penglai Immortal Beasts had not completely broken free from the curse, they could avoid the fate of death.

After everything had calmed down, the remaining Penglai Immortal Beasts all looked at Ye Xuan in unison.

“From now on, we will follow our benefactor!”
