Feeling happy inside, Qin Wushuang could see that by the orientation of the Sealed Scroll, the spiritual Qi on the outer layer appeared unusually strong. It seemed to have absorbed a large amount of spiritual Qi. Even if he were not to supplement spiritual Qi for three or five years in a row, it would most likely not influence the supply of the Sealed Scroll this much.
As long as the spiritual Qi inside the Sealed Scroll flows continuously, the spiritual beasts would preserve sufficient combat power. This had saved Qin Wushuang a lot of trouble, such as time and crystal stones.
He made finger gestures during the incantation to initiate the Sealed Scrolls and to beckon the summoning spell. This time, eight distinct rays of light carrying different imposing manners scuttled from the Sealed Scroll.
Five of them were already old pals who were extremely familiar with Qin Wushuang. However, after getting repressed for a long time, they appeared to be anxious. As soon as they got out, each of them were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with happiness.
The other three spiritual beasts with even more formidable temperament were at the Perfect Void Martial Stage. These three spiritual beasts were Rending Earth Devil Sheep, Deluge Desert Giant Monkey and Illusive Cloud Divine Dog.
"It"s an honor to meet with you, master." Apparently, the spiritual beasts who had gone out the first time were also incredibly joyous. Finally, they could break away from the endless suffocation within the seals and experience the outside world.
Freedom… it"s truly wonderful!
The eight spiritual beasts had taken the initiative and transformed into humans to stand before Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang inspected them once and laughed, "Still the same old rule. The three new people who have come forth, please introduce yourselves."
"Rending Earth Devil Sheep, I specialize in divine skill of the earth element and possess superior strength at ground force impact."
"Deluge Desert Giant Monkey, I excel at transformation, enticement and disguise. My direct attacks are daring."
"Illusive Cloud Divine Dog, I specialize in sky battles. I possess formidable speed and concealed attacks, for my ultimate moves are sneak attacks."
After the three spiritual beasts had finished introducing themselves, Qin Wushuang nodded with extreme satisfaction. "Ok, this time I summoned you guys out because I need to brief you on an important mission."
"Obey all orders from your master."
Qin Wushuang said with a light smile, "Tomorrow morning, you will know further information."
…
Early next morning, Qin Wushuang woke up and Qin Lan was just gazing into the distance on the slope. Upon seeing Qin Wushuang walking over, he called to him with a smile, "Junior Brother Wushuang, you are up early."
"Senior Brother Lan is even earlier."
When Qin Lan saw Qin Wushuang heading out, he asked, "Are you heading out to train?"
"I need to take care of some private matters, please do not inconvenience yourself," Qin Wushuang said with a smile.
Qin Lan laughed and started up the conversation again, "Since last time at the Upright Morality Hall, my horizon has seriously broadened. Junior Brother Wushuang, when the Second Chief treated you to a drink, everyone was jealous. You did not see the expression of those Elders and Honored Warriors, ha ha, it was truly brilliant. Earlier I worried that you would get pushed aside by those core disciples who possessed supreme superiority. Now, it seems that even if they were to bother someone else, they would not dare to cause problems for you. Junior Brother, if you succeed in the future, you better guide me in your ways."
Qin Wushuang said with a chuckle, "We are all part of the bloodline of the Qin Clan It"s meaningless for us to irritate each other. Senior Brother Lan, I am going now. When I return let"s spar."
"Alright, Junior Brother Wushuang. We will surely grow as friends." Qin Lan chuckled and waved his hand at Qin Wushuang to see him off.
When Qin Wushuang rushed to the guest inn of the Aspiring Throne Mountain, Mu Rong Xu had already been waiting a while. Seeing Qin Wushuang jump down from the cloud, Little Bamboo said with an overjoyed tone, "Young Master Qin is here!"
"Xu"Er, Little Bamboo, let"s go," he encouraged.
After they had departed from the Aspiring Throne Mountain and went past the boundary of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Qin Wushuang did not dare to let down his guard in the slightest. Bao Bao and Lone had accompanied them. With these two buffoons,they would not be too lonely on the journey.
Four or five days had pa.s.sed on this journey of seeing her off. They also walked one third of the journey. Mu Rong Xu was completely immersed in happiness and emerging joy from the bottom of her heart. She did not even pay attention to the time. On the other hand, Little Bamboo was counting the days with her fingers.
"Miss, if young master Qin keeps accompanying us, we will arrive at the Floating Snow House together! I think we should let young master Qin wait for a few days here. He should rush to the Floating Snow House at least ten days after Miss has arrived."
Mu Rong Xu was reluctant t separate from Qin Wushuang, yet she must part with him for now. With the current situation, she could not bring Qin Wushuang back to the Floating Snow House directly. In that case, it would be equivalent to a show of protest to the higher-ups of the Floating Snow House. It would not be beneficial for them to solve the conflicts at all.
She would go back first, sound out their intentions and remediate the situation. If she could build some foundation for Qin Wushuang and cool down the situation, it would work more towards their advantage.
Qin Wushuang clapped his hands and eight figures appeared as a flash from the sky.
Both Mu Rong Xu and Little Bamboo were slightly surprised. Qin Wushuang said, "Xu"Er, the true ident.i.ties of these eight people are spiritual beasts. Although their strength was not enough to defy the natural order, I feel confident they can escort you back to the Floating Snow House."
These eight great spiritual beasts were indeed, those eight spiritual beasts summoned by Qin Wushuang previously.
Mu Rong Xu was somewhat astonished. Bao Bao laughed, "Senior Sister Mu Rong, this is our boss"s trump card. Or else, when all those people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect blocaded us and all of the freelance martial artists crossed the border into the Dispersed Praying Mountain, we could not have been victorious without them."
Little Bamboo chuckled and said, "Alrighty, Young Master Qin, you have so many secrets. You better explain this to Miss, ha ha."
Qin Wushuang said with a light smile, "Let"s talk about these in details when we arrive at the Floating Snow House."
He turned around and said to the eight great spiritual beasts, "It"s about a ten day journey to reach the Floating Snow House from here. You will divide into three groups. Two will be the vanguard, four guard Xu"Er, and the last two will be at the rear. You will all communicate inseparably. If any unexpected events occur, you will report to me immediately. I will not be too far away from you."
Among the eight major spiritual beasts, the three at the Perfect Void Martial Stage hold the highest position at this moment. The three groups were each lead by one at the Perfect Void Martial Stage to ensure the balance of strength.
Upon seeing how Qin Wushuang had arranged everything with such thoughtfulness, Mu Rong Xu was even more touched. Reluctant to part, she bid goodbye to Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang had travelled slowly behind them with Bao Bao and Lone. They decided to head to the Floating Snow House ten days after Mu Rong Xu had reached home.
After seeing off the eight major beasts escorting Mu Rong Xu"s group, Bao Bao laughed, "What was that saying? Love will find a way, right?"
"Ha ha, Bao Bao, despite your young age you know a lot," Lone mocked at him.
Bao Bao laughed mischievously, "Of course I do. If I was the same as you, a natural airhead, it would be so boring to live."
Lone laughed, "I am boring, you should find one. Show me how you can be so sentimental."
Puffed-up, Bao Bao said, "I will not allow you to see it. By the way, boss, when you had last gone to the Heavenly Emperor Gate, how did the Heavenly Emperor look? Was he fearful?"
When Qin Wushuang thought of the Heavenly Emperor Gate, he was more or less disappointed. He shook his head and said, "The matter with the Heavenly Emperor Gate has already pa.s.sed. Let"s not talk about it. By the way, have you two forsaken your training lately?"
Immensely proud of himself, Bao Bao said, "Of course not. At the Aspiring Throne Mountain, I made the most of my time. Boss, let me tell you, I feel that I can almost enter the Profound Void Martial Stage."
Stunned, Qin Wushuang was rather impressed by Bao Bao. Each time when he achieved a breakthrough, it was because he had a fortuitous opportunity. Additionally, since his body had undergone the spiritual baptism, he possessed a great innate capacity.
However, Bao Bao had not relied only on unantic.i.p.ated opportunity, but depended on his own training as well. This meant that indeed, Bao Bao"s ancient spiritual monkey bloodline is incredibly powerful.
"Lone, what is your situation?" Qin Wushuang asked.
"Boss, ever since that time when the Third Chief said that I might be a mutated spiritual beast, a surge of extra power seemed to have emerged from my heart. Regarding the Profound Void Martial Stage, I feel it"s not too far away."
Qin Wushuang breathed laughingly, "That"s good. You two are different than the sealed spiritual beasts. You have always followed me and established life and death feelings. I do not wish you two get defeated by the sealed spiritual beasts."
Bao Bao straightened his chest and made a solemn vow, "Boss, don"t worry. I will speed up and aim to catch up in your footsteps. When you enter the Supreme Dao, certainly I will be following you right after. Ha ha, Senior Brother Lone, it would be best if you were a mutated spiritual beast. The three of us could achieve the breakthrough together. How mighty it would be when the three Supreme Dao elite warriors join hands together."
Fervent lights also flashed across Lone"s eyes for clearly, he also looked forward to such a situation. In the past, he never had high expectations of reaching the Supreme Dao stage. However, ever since he heard the words spoken by Qin Chongyang, ineffably he had emerged much more motivated. It seemed that he had developed more cleverness during training.
Suddenly, Bao Bao asked, "Boss, did you refine that Sky Pilfered Pill?"
Qin Wushuang said with a cool and collected tone, "Now, I am not in a rush to refine the Sky Pilfered Pill, let it stay in my stomach. I can enter the Profound Void Martial Stage at any moment. The two chief asked me to consolidate it more and to not be too hasty. Surely they had their reasoning. Therefore, recently I have been building the Transformation Void Martial Stage. When the appropriate opportunity arises, I will upgrade into the Profound Void Martial Stage.
Bao Bao gave a long sigh, "Boss, it seems we cannot catch up to you. When you achieve this breakthrough, you will enter the Profound Void Martial Stage. When you refine the Sky Pilfered Pill, you will enter the Perfect Void Martial Stage within the blink of an eye. No matter how fast we are, we will not catch up to you if you jump two levels at once."
Qin Wushuang laughed. "Then I will try my best to not use the Sky Pilfered Pill."
The three of them walked slowly along the way and were in no rush. Unconsciously, ten days had pa.s.sed. The eight major spiritual beasts also sent information back through the communication jade plate that they had successfully escorted miss Mu Rong back to the Floating Snow House. They had not entered the Floating Snow House, but instead started to head back. They were on their way to meet Qin Wushuang and his friends.
Qin Wushuang was not in a rush, but still maintained his original speed. Along the way, he did not neglect training. Instead, he maintained a high level of concentration and took advantage of each minute.
The Floating Snow House was located at the north central area of the Xuan Yuan Mound. As snowflakes swirled in the air for half of the year, they were given the name of the Floating Snow House.
The prefecture of the Floating Snow House was called the Silver Sky Prefecture. Among the north central area it was highly regarded. The Floating Snow House had also impressed the north central area, so every surrounding prefectures had followed the Floating Snow House.
After all, among the second-rate powerhouses, the Floating Snow House had ranked in the top. It could be regarded as the strongest beneath the first-rate powerhouses.
Like the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, it was a major powerhouse ranked in the top twenty!
They had arrived at the Silver Sky Prefecture after ten days. Qin Wushuang stayed at the capital city of the Silver Sky Prefecture. He gazed at the skysc.r.a.ping mountain that rose high in the sky at the northern side. That was the main peak in which the Floating Snow House was located.
Now, the color of the sky was approaching nightfall, so Qin Wushuang and his friends checked into an inn. When they were heading out, they saw groups of men and horses entering the city one after another. Clearly, the disposition of forces did not make them seem as local tyrants. Even Qin Wushuang was somewhat astonished by their shroud of impressive manner.
