Xiao Chen did not understand, but Han Xian`er naturally knew that the two Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Beast Garden had a deep relationship with Xiang Han. Xiang Han had come for at least ten days or a month, so he naturally had to say his farewells to the two beasts.
In the Spirit Beast Garden.
The Monkey King and the Violet Thunder Beast knew that Xiang Han had comprehended a great Dao, and so they were overjoyed upon entering the Heart of Tranquil Water.
The Violet Thunder Beast was startled by Xiang Han's words, but it seemed to have made up its mind. Moving as fast as lightning, it slashed at Xiang Han's arm with its claw, tearing out a shallow line of blood.
"Brother Zi, why are you doing this?" With regards to the sudden attack of the Violet Thunder Beast, Xiang Han naturally didn't think that this companion of his would do anything evil to him.
The Monkey King had a strange expression on its face as it growled at the Violet Thunder Beast.
The Violet Thunder Beast also responded with two cries.
The little Purple Thunder Beast has a good impression of you, and with your Immortal Thunder Dew opening, there are some reasons that are hard to explain, but with its actions, it wants to make an oath with you about the heavens. From then on, the Purple Thunder Beast will be in cahoots with you, do you agree with it?
"Spirit beast!" Xiang Han was instantly overjoyed, his heart filled with these two words.
Rumor had it that if one wanted to have a Spiritual Beast accompany them, one had to suppress their strength to make their opponent submit. However, there was also another reason. Some Spiritual Beasts that had deep feelings for each other would act on their own accord.
This was the situation with the Violet Thunder Beast.
How could Xiang Han refuse such a beautiful thing? He immediately nodded his head, "Of course I am willing. It is my great fortune to be able to have Brother Zi to accompany me!"
It had to be known that the Violet Thunder Beast and the Monkey King were Aurous Core stage existences, and even the Aurous Core stage Demonic Beasts would find it difficult to defeat them.
Generally speaking, human cultivators, other than refining their bodies or comprehending the Grand Dao and breaking through to the Aurous Core stage, would not be able to withstand an Aurous Core stage cultivator even if it was Daoist Master Hua Xu.
Xiang Han had obtained this spirit beast and it was now spring.
When the Violet Thunder Beast heard these words, its two horns suddenly emitted a yellow halo. Occasionally, it looked like it was flowing water, but it was as sharp as an icicle. At the end of the process, it condensed into a large Dao word.
The blood on Xiang Han's arm had turned into a thin and long snake, coiling and twisting around the word Dao, extremely wonderful.
Swear it!
When Xiang Han made his vow, he had a sudden feeling that he was connected to the Violet Thunder Beast by blood, that he was inseparable.
"Brother Zi!"
With a thought from the Purple Thunder Beast, Xiang Han's voice was like a rough bull's, "Little Xiang, you have to cultivate well and try to break through to the Jindan Stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, this beast will go all out."
Xiang Han smiled, "That's only natural, now that our bloodlines are linked, it looks like this trip to Ghost City will be a lot easier!" Then, he rolled his eyes and looked at the Monkey King, saying, "How about the Monkey King make an oath with me as well? Wouldn't it be great if the three of us to travel the world of cultivation together!"
Hearing this, the Monkey King laughed loudly. "Haha, my ancestor doesn't even dare to offend the heavenly dao, so naturally, the oath made to me is useless! If you make an oath with this monkey, wouldn't it be equivalent to marrying into my monkey family?! "
Xiang Han was first shocked, then he said indifferently, "I've already been blessed by the heavens with Brother Zi's help. Let's just do it like this!"
Xiang Han and the Purple Thunder Beast had made an oath, the two were connected by blood, the Purple Thunder Beast was fine, Xiang Han was just an ordinary cultivator, other than the fact that they met Daofather Xia Hua by chance, there was nothing special about him.
On the other hand, Xiang Han was different. The moment the Violet Thunder Beast was imprinted on his forehead, he immediately understood many things, perhaps some profound mysteries.
For example, the origin of this Violet Thunder Beast.
Just as the Monkey King had said, the Violet Thunder Beast was born from misty clouds that had been painted wrongly for 10,000 years. It had yin and yang energy, and was naturally born with Purple Thunder True Fire. But how the cloud went wrong and why it was accompanied by yin and yang was naturally born with purple lightning was not something the Monkey King knew about.
It turned out that the Purple Thunder Beast and the Monkey King had done the same thing.
This Monkey King was formed from a single strand of hair of the Stone Ape, but the Purple Thunder Beast was more or less the same. It was formed from a drop of blood essence of a Demonic Cow Divine Beast that was cut down after it encountered an enemy.
It was just that this drop of blood essence had undergone hundreds of millions of years of change, producing its own spiritual sense. It had been hidden in the clouds all year round, connecting the heavens and the earth, understanding the great Dao of fire and thunder and combining them together to form the Aurous Core into a beast.
What was different from the Monkey King was that this drop of refined blood had long since left its ancestor and formed its own body. On the other hand, the Monkey King was formed by the Spirit Stone Monkey's ability, so it was cut down. So, the Violet Thunder Beast could swear with others, but the Monkey King could not because it did not have the qualifications to lead the Spirit Stone Monkey.
After a man and two beasts were conversed, the purple lightning beast turned into a golden light and entered Xiang Han's forehead.
At this moment, a thumb-sized Purple Thunder Beast appeared faintly on Xiang Han's forehead, looking extremely magical. "This is a divine ability bestowed by the heavens after a spirit beast has sworn an oath to a human.
Xiang Han naturally also received a blessing, and comprehended his own dao heart. Currently, the Violet Thunder Beast's heart of fire and thunder was also accompanying him, and he also had the ancestral bloodline of the Violet Thunder Beast. Although it was thin, it was still the bloodline of a Divine Beast.
The Seven Immortal Sect's Transfer Gate was a masterpiece of a master refiner and array master that the Ancestor had paid a great price to hire. It was also a necessary tool for a sect to be established.
Xiang Han, Xiao Chen and Han Xian`er met at the teleportation gate.
Xiang Han looked over and saw that there were two people with Xiao Chen. One was rough and tall, while the other was short.
"Who are these two?" Xiang Han asked, puzzled.
Han Xian'er smiled and said, "These two are also from the same sect. Because the Ghost City is too frightening and the two of them aren't confident, they spent a few spirit stones to ask Xiao Chen to take them to do this Foundation Establishment Pill mission. Of course, with Junior Brother Xiang here, there will naturally be a share of the spirit stones!"
Xiao Chen also explained, "Actually, there are many people in the Sect who are at the Core Bearing Stage, but there are very few who can make Foundation Establishment Pills. Most of them travel together or pay a certain price to ask a Foundation Establishment cultivator for help; otherwise, it would be too difficult to do it on their own!"
Xiang Han was slightly dissatisfied, as was Xiao Chen. He did not agree to this matter, but it did not matter if they were friends. The more spiritual stones there were, the better.
He only said, "That's a small matter!"
When the two saw that Daoist Xiao Chen wanted to give a portion of the Spirit Stones to an Awakened Soul Cultivator, they couldn't help but size him up. Although they were displeased, they didn't dare to say anything to Xiao Chen.
The two of them were only at the heart stage and had just returned yesterday, so they did not know that the person in front of them was the famous Xiang Han from the sect.
Seeing the upright door with a blue halo of light, Xiang Han was excited. Passing through the door would send you directly to the Ghost City, which was millions of miles away. This was a mystery that no ordinary person would be able to comprehend.
After Xiao Chen and the disciple in charge of the portal spoke to each other, Xiang Han couldn't help but want to test the beauty of the portal. He immediately stepped into the portal, "Brother Xiao, Xian'Er, how long are you going to stay for?!"
Xiao Chen was speechless as he recalled how excited he was when he had just entered the sect.
This was also Han Xian'er's first time stepping through this door, her mood naturally not much worse than Xiang Han's.
The moment Xiang Han stepped in, he felt his body tearing and twisting, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all, only his vision turning white. In just half a second, his vision returned to his body.
The place he saw was covered in dark clouds, weeds were growing, and the wind was rustling the weeds. It was quiet and terrifying.
The entire sky was extremely dark, and the sounds of ghosts tearing and howling could be heard wildly, giving people goosebumps.
Amidst the weeds, a blue stream of light flashed and formed the character "Z" before disappearing from Xiang Han's sight.
Following the stream of light, they saw a hundred-meter-tall castle in the distance that looked like Crimson Flame City. On top of the castle, there were numerous white silhouettes dancing around.
Xiang Han couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air, because it was too far away, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see what the figures flying above the ancient castle were, but Xiang Han was different, he was one with the purple lightning beast, so he naturally had his divine beast's vision. Even after looking over a hundred miles away, he could still see that above the ancient castle, there were actually six winged angels! However, the angels seemed to be in a deep confusion, as if they were lost in the path of the Dao.
At the highest point of the ancient fortress, on a golden cross, Xiang Han looked over and could not help but narrow his eyes.
That's right!
Who was it!?
Fear!
A young man with red eyes and green pupils was pressed into the stomach by the golden cross. He screamed in pain and struggled desperately.
"Little Xiang, you don't need to look anymore, that's not a human!" Xiang Han was awoken by the Violet Thunder Beast's voice in his head.
Xiang Han couldn't help but ask, "What is that? It makes me feel fear the moment I see it!"
The purple lightning beast said, "That was once the owner of this fortress. It was known as the fearsome Demon King Gu Chuan! I only learned a thing or two from my ancestor's memories. In the prehistoric era, before Pangu started splitting the heavens and earth, this king had already become famous in the primal chaos. He has been stuck there for who knows how many years, who knows who did it! That ancient castle was the Ghost City, also known as the Forbidden Land of Gods. You must never step foot inside that place, otherwise, even immortals will not be able to save you! "
Xiang Han couldn't help but clench his teeth, "Let alone going there, I wouldn't even want to take an extra look!"
At the same time, Xiao Chen and Han Xian`er entered. Soon after, the coarse cultivator and the short cultivator also entered.
On the other hand, the two of them were doing very well and moving too far away. However, they could only see a white ball of light dancing in the air. They couldn't see anything else.
Xiao Chen immediately said seriously, "Brother Xiang, don't get too close to the ancient fortress. That is a forbidden area. Even the great Sect Master would not dare to get too close to it!"
Xiang Han let out a long breath, although the sect master is a Nascent Soul stage ancestor, he is still not comparable to the people in the prehistoric era. Xiang Han laughed: "Of course, we are only here to look for the void ghost! I won't give up my life to satisfy my own little bit of curiosity! "
The five of them wandered around the outskirts of the Ghost City together.
The five of them searched for places where the roars could be heard.
However, even after half a day of searching, they still couldn't find a single Void Spirit. From what Xiao Chen said, this Void Spirit was quite strong, but the most troublesome thing was that it was too hard to find!
While the five of them were passing through a vast leafless forest, they saw several dozen transparent ghosts floating in the air, less than half a meter away from the ground. The eyes of every transparent spirit of death were suffused with a red ominous glint. The arms that were faintly visible from its transparent body also had blood-colored sharp claws.
