The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1091 - 422: Mu Yi Accepts a Disciple_3

"Gulp..."

This time, it was Shimei and Shilan who were shocked to the point of nearly biting their tongues.

He had killed a Half-Step Deity?

Does that mean beings like Queen Jueying and those under Venerable Tianjing had once lain defeated before him, merely cold corpses?

And all this was achieved at the rank of Supreme Holy Completion, not as a Half-Step Deity himself?

"Shi Li, go ahead."

"Since it’s a grand gamble, let us bet everything. This epoch must give birth to at least one Half-Step Deity for our clan to have hope of rising."

Shimei patted Shi Li’s back with sincere urgency.

"Don’t worry, with us in the clan, there won’t be any problems."

Shilan licked her lips and said in a serious tone,

"We will lead our people to move out of the West Sea ahead of time, to avoid stirring up trouble."

"If you fail and can’t witness the view from higher up, the Corpse Dragon Queen’s clan will have no regrets about this decision."

"But if you succeed, all those deceased clan members will be proud of you, and the ones still alive will be invigorated by you; they will be sheltered by you, and their anxious hearts will find solace..."

Shi Li stood dumbfounded, her eyes flashing with brilliance and her inner emotions stirring.

Finally, she bit her dragon lip and with widened dragon eyes brimming with boundless zest, she bent her upper body at a ninety-degree angle, bowing in the posture of a student, to show respect to Mu Yi Hanba,

"Please teach me the art of rebirth, Teacher!"

"Whether I can learn it or not, regardless of how far I can go, Shi Li is willing to consider you my teacher for life!"

"Fine."

Mu Yi Hanba nodded slightly, his words precious as gold.

In his eyes, this seemed to be a negligible matter, barely worth his concern.

"Human Master, stay for a few days,"

"I will seal her bloodline for her, compress it back to Sacred Voidal Conduit, and start the first step of rebirth."

"Alright."

Ye Hanjun smiled slightly, while GuaGua on the side cheered, eager to explore the castle with Huazhu.

...

Five days later, everything went smoothly.

Ye Hanjun left the Sinking Corpse Cavern, and without fanfare, there was an additional figure in the team.

It was a small lizard the size of a palm, its scales glittering beautifully, prettier than the nails of a young girl.

She emitted no unusual aura, and when at rest, she would stand on Lie Xinxin’s shoulder, allowing the faint flames to lick her body.

"Let’s go! Xiahou must be incredibly anxious by now!"

GuaGua marched forward, leading the way with the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus.

The group returned to their original location and after more than a year, reached Jellyfish Island, where true to form, Xiahou Danxin stood desolately on the island, his face filled with loss.

"Home... I miss home..."

"When can I go back... Chimera, come back quickly, don’t let the bad guys take you away..."

"Whoosh!!"

Ye Hanjun leaped from the seabed, landing precisely on the island.

The dormant "Mechanical Gazelle King" and "Mechanical Scarecrow" lit up their bulb-like pupils, their radar systems wildly capturing the pheromones in the space.

"Senior, we’re back."

Ye Hanjun stood firm in front of Xiahou Danxin, about a hundred meters away.

He waved at the elder, but the elder was so lost in gloom that he didn’t notice, his eyes filling with a heavier shadow than actual shadows themselves.

"Whoosh~~~"

Ye Hanjun summoned Lan Qixiong and in an instant, Xiahou Danxin, as if a switch in a human body was tripped, flew up into the sky straight into Lan Qixiong’s embrace.

"Bang!"

With a thud of a snake head, the elder buried faster into the ground.

He struggled out of the earth, his eyes emitting a frightening red light,

"Oh! The adorable Chimera cub! My most outstanding scientific achievement~~~"

"I have missed you so much I could die; if you hadn’t shown up, I would have had to issue a beast-finding notice~~~"

"Eek!"

GuaGua covered his face, not wanting to watch him,

"Elder, elder, be serious!"

"Do you remember our itinerary? To visit Mechanic God Mountain, only you can lead the way!"

"Lingling, initiate homecoming mode!"

Xiahou Danxin reluctantly stroked Chimera’s smelly feet and then plopped down on the back of the Mechanical Gazelle King, his face brimming with excitement.

"Beep! Navigation has been initiated! Planning route!"

"Destination—Mechanic God Mountain!"

"From current position, fastest estimate 15 years, slowest estimate 50 years..."

"The fastest, the fastest! Who has time to waste on the journey?!"

Xiahou Danxin interrupted his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, whose eyes flickered twice, and the mechanical voice immediately corrected,

"New instructions received."

"Estimating at least 1635 uses of Teleportation Array..."

"Capturing the nearest Teleportation Array, two o’clock direction, beginning to gather energy... Fast running initiated... Arriving at target location..."

"Warning! Teleportation Array at current location unexpectedly damaged, Option one, repair, estimated time 36 hours, required materials..."

"Option two, change route, five days’ walk from current position... Beep! Master has manually selected option one, commence execution immediately..."
