Chapter 345: Chapter 344 End of Lingxi World
“Congratulations, the whole Lingxi World is now your territory,” Jiang Li offered his belated blessings.
“You too, you’ve fulfilled your dream of saving the world, even if just as an accessory.”
Xia Chao’s face fell immediately – Brother Jiang, couldn’t you just leave out the second half of your sentence? I’ve been working hard to heal Xiao Qing. How did I become an accessory?
Xiao Qing and the Bone Wing White Tiger both turned into human forms, captivating in their beauty. Xia Chao and Qiu Shi were left stunned. They hadn’t expected their two pact monsters, whom they’d spent a year with, to transform into such bewitching figures.
“Wake up, what do you mean you’ve been together for a year? You two spent the first three months in intense training. No one saw you during those three months except me,” Jiang Li reminded Xia Chao, keen on keeping him from romanticizing the past.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi shivered. They couldn’t forget the three months they spent living in the Demonic Beast Forest, their nightmares wholly filled with Jiang Li’s rigorous training.
However, the results made the hard training worth it.
The place where the group was standing was the very center of the battlefield. Surrounded by emptiness, the beast wave had finally retreated.
“Your Majesty, please give us your next directive.” The four Body Integration Realm monsters kneeled before Xiao Qing, their rationality restored as they returned to their human forms.
“Do not address me as such.” Xiao Qing calmly refused on the surface, but she was secretly irritated by the title of ‘Azure Dragon King’.
The supreme leaders of the six countries rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, realizing the dramatic changes occurring in the Lingxi World.
The bodyguards standing behing the leaders felt anxious. Though they appeared capable, they seemed to be the weakest except for the supreme leaders when it came to actual combat.
The supreme leaders respectfully acknowledged Xiao Qing.
Reports from their subordinates revealed that this young girl was transformed from a pact monster known as the “Dragon”.
They also received information that all the five-star pact monsters had taken human forms, so they were not surprised to see Xiao Qing’s human form.
Xiao Qing, the white-haired girl, Xia Chao, Qiu Shi, the four human-formed six-star monsters – everyone could be accounted for, except for the man seemingly orchestrating everything. They did not recognize him.
“Now that everyone is here, we can start discussing the matter at hand,” Jiang Li initiated, transporting everyone present to a nearby building using his space-switching power.
Seeing Jiang Li’s skill shocked the four transformed monsters of the Body Integration Realm. They had no idea who the real boss was.
“Some of you may not know me, allow me to introduce myself.”
“My name is Jiang Li, from the Nine Realms. You can think of me as an alien, albeit one who comes from much farther than you can imagine.”
“In the Nine Realms, I serve as the Human Emperor, which makes me, more or less, a representative dealing with external affairs. So, I am your peer in terms of position. No need to worry about formalities.”
“This is the White Marsh Emperor, White Snow Spirit, who commands half of the monsters in the Nine Realms.”
Watching the muted reactions of the crowd, Xia Chao understood they didn’t really grasp Jiang Li’s status. He whispered, “Brother Jiang is at the Mahayana Realm. According to our calculations, he’s an eight-star expert.”
Everyone then showed their respect.
Jiang Li felt all his earlier explanations had been pointless.
Jiang Li went on to recount the history of the Lingxi World, issues with the master-servant relationship, and the benefits of Xiao Qing becoming the master of this world.
The things Jiang Li talked about seemed like fantasies, but seeing Xiao Qing’s slight nods, let everyone know that it was the truth.
“The final step to breaking the pact is for you to give diluted White Marsh blood to your monsters, which will awaken their intelligence,”
Jiang Li took out ten barrels of blood.
The cultivation of White Snow Spirit was far less than that of Du Ye. Du Ye could turn all the monsters into idiots with just a few drops of his blood, while she needed ten barrels to awaken their intelligence.
Luckily, White Snow Spirit happened to be a Bai Ze. Her original form was way bigger than her human form, which enabled her to provide so much blood.
“This is White Marsh Blood.” When Jiang Li said this, White Snow Spirit could not hide her surprise.
However, the thought of countless fellow monsters becoming sentient made it easier for her to give up her blood.
“Once you return, give the blood to any monster below a five-star rating.”
Within a week, billions of monsters who consumed White Snow Spirit’s blood became sentient and bowed toward the direction of White Snow Spirit.
This was equivalent to granting them new lives.
Once the monsters became sentient, their relationship with the human race became complex. Some monsters liked humans and treated them kindly, while others hated humans and harbored wicked thoughts.
Please note that the master-servant pact has not been severed yet. Monsters with evil intentions toward humans were a grave concern.
But under the engulfing dragon might, those monsters had no choice but to conceal their wicked thoughts and behave obediently.
Jiang Li didn’t bother much about this. With Xiao Qing there, things couldn’t go awry.
On the eighth day, all the monsters had their intelligence awakened and bowed to Xiao Qing.
Jiang Li rose and flew into the sky. Slowly, he raised his arm and gradually clenched his fist. Countless microscopic threads appeared in Jiang Li’s hand, extending towards the distant horizon.
The pact monsters and the humans involuntarily looked towards Jiang Li. It felt like something extremely important was in his hands, beyond their control.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi couldn’t understand what Jiang Li was doing. Xiao Qing and the Bone Wing White Tiger were equally clueless. Among the crowd, only White Snow Spirit understood the purpose of Jiang Li’s actions.
“These are the connecting threads of the master-servant pact.” Jiang Li smiled softly and suddenly clenched his fist tightly. Billions of threads snapped and vanished into the air.
White Snow Spirit was dumbfounded. She had pondered countless times on how Jiang Li would sever the master-servant pact, but never had she thought he would employ such a straightforward method.
“I’ve taught you all the Equal Pact from the Beast Control Sect. It’s up to you to pass it on to others. Of course, it is up to each individual whether to establish a new pact or not – do not force them,”
“Yes, sir,” Xiao Qing bowed.
Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, “I hope to establish a stable connection with the Nine Realms.”
Seeing Xiao Qing acting nonchalant on the outside yet desperately longing for him to agree, Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh. “You want to establish a connection with the Beast Control Sect and White Marsh Dynasty, right? That’s easily done – we just need to set up a permanent spatial passage in the Fanta Tower.”
White Snow Spirit was overjoyed. Even though the Lingxi World couldn’t be considered a territory of the White Marsh Dynasty, she was more than happy to increase the strength of her monster brethren.
“As a matter of fact, I had mentioned you to the Four Seas Dragon Kings when I went to get Dragon Blood from them. They said that once you have survived the Tribulation of Dragon Transformation, you could come to the Four Seas for exchange and study.”
Xiao Qing agreed without any hesitation. This was a great opportunity.
Even though she inherited a blood lineage, it didn’t represent everything. Four Seas was the base camp of the Dragon Clan in the Nine Realms. They had more than a dozen real dragons. When it came to understanding the dragon clan and its lineage, she was not experienced enough. There was still a lot for her to learn.
Xiao Qing’s ambition wasn’t just to transform into a dragon; that was just a starting point. She still wanted to achieve the stage of Transcendence Tribulation, or even a higher realm.
“You have to practice hard too. There’s still one seat vacant for the Qiongqi King in the White Marsh Dynasty,” White Snow Spirit told the white-haired girl.
The White Marsh Dynasty had eight Great Demon Kings, all in the Body Integration Realm. Later on, the Qiongqi King got greedy, plotting against Yu Yin and lost his sanity. As a result, when Yu Yin achieved the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, he was killed. Since then, the position of Qiongqi King has been open.
The Bone Wing White Tiger, who had been shaped by Jiang Li into a full-blooded Qiongqi, could naturally become the Qiongqi King of the White Marsh Dynasty when she achieves the Body Integration Realm.
The white-haired girl pumped her fist, showing she would live up to White Snow Spirit’s expectations.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi exchanged glances, understanding each other’s intentions.
With their girlfriends being so motivated, they couldn’t slack off.
