Chapter 84: The Silver Divine Peng and the Swordless Starry Sea!
The silver-white Peng swiftly realized it should leave Lin Xunxian behind.
Buzz!
With a resounding hum, the vast bird vanished into thin air. Lin Xunxian remained unruffled, almost relishing the upcoming spectacle.
In the next moment, space around Lin Xuan rippled. The silver-white Peng, which should have been a few thousand miles away, suddenly appeared before him. It looked up at Lin Xuan, its expression forced.
"Hello, senior! You see, are you dissatisfied with my acrobatics?" It chuckled.
Pfft!
Lin Huaishu and Lin Xiong, on the side, couldn't help but laugh at the shamelessness of the Peng.
Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Xunxian, his eyes inquisitive. Lin Xunxian's expression turned solemn. "Grand Ancestor, this creature was found in the Falling Moon Domain. It should be the legendary awakened spirit beast with divine powers.
"In addition, as you can see, this fellow has awakened spatial abilities. Xunxian found it rare and wishes to give it to you as a gift. You can keep it as a pet or roast it; the choice is yours.
"This creature voluntarily entered into a master-servant contract with me. Grand Ancestor, please help us before considering eating it. Xunxian suggests roasting it; this guy just spoke ill of you."
The silver-white Peng trembled as it stared at Lin Xunxian. Why was this guy so malevolent?
He's determined to send me to my doom! Who knew that the Grand Ancestor he mentioned was such a terrifying figure? If you'd said that earlier, who would be willing to follow you?! Isn't following your Grand Ancestor a better option? Besides, he and I are both of the Monster Race.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan looked at the silver-white Peng. The latter shivered and hastily said, "Senior, don't believe this guy's nonsense. If I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have accepted him as my master. I definitely would have accepted you as my master instead. Those profane words were truly unintentional!
"Moreover, the contract he signed with me is a bloodline contract of the Silver Peng Clan. Once sealed, no one can break it. If I die, this guy's future will be ruined! I despise him! I couldn't form a contract with someone like you, but I signed one with this person."
The silver-white Peng looked utterly miserable, his voice filled with resentment. It was evident that every word he spoke was genuine.
Lin Xuan chuckled. This clown seemed even chattier than Fang Yan.
With a thought, the silver-white Peng's information appeared before Lin Xuan. It had entered into a master-servant contract with Lin Xunxian, belonging to the Lin family. Lin Xuan could access all the information.
[Name: Kong! (Self-proclaimed: Uncle)]
[Age: Four months]
[Cultivation Stage: Mid Foundation Building]
[(Peng) Bloodline Divine Ability: White Peng Space Existence]
[Four months ago, Kong Xiaoliu's mother gave birth to him in the Endless Starry Sea. However, she was pursued by a formidable enemy and gravely wounded. Then, a spatial storm erupted, sucking Kong Xiaoliu in. Amidst the transformations of the heavenly tribulation, he arrived at the Falling Moon Domain of Baoshan Prefecture.]
Lin Xuan looked at the silver-white Peng's information panel in astonishment.
Good heavens. He couldn't tell that this guy was younger than him.
He was at least half a year old, and this guy was only four months. His cultivation had already reached the mid Foundation Establishment Realm. Of course, this guy probably started in the Foundation Establishment Realm from birth. In just four months, he's reached the mid Foundation Establishment Realm.
Even the most naturally gifted among the vast sea of stars can't start cultivating from the Qi Condensation stage at birth. Their bodies aren't that fragile. After all, they have to contend with the power of space. Lin Xuan could sense that Kong Xiaoliu's body was the strongest he had ever seen.
Nevertheless, he gave Lin Xuan a feeling of being naturally undernourished. If he guessed correctly, if it weren't for that accident, this guy would have been a top-tier Divine Beast in the Golden Core stage right from birth.
"Kong Xiaoliu, what level of control do you have over space now?" Lin Xuan asked Kong Xiaoliu.
The Silver Peng's body trembled. It looked up at Lin Xuan as if it were seeing a mirage. "How do you know my name?!"
It had only heard the name Kong Xiaoliu once. At the moment of its birth, its mother told it. However, after her words, she hid it in a spatial interlayer and fled into the distance. It knew that its mother was being pursued by a formidable enemy. She was trying to lure the enemy away to give it a chance at life.
Encountering a space storm was indeed a stroke of luck. Perhaps other living creatures, even those in the Unity Realm or Void Formation Realm who had just begun to touch space's power, would unquestionably die if they encountered a space storm.
However, this was the Silver Divine Peng. The blood flowing within it belonged to the master of space. For them, space's power was like a fish in water. It came naturally to them. It had often fantasized that one day, its mother would descend from the heavens and take it home.
"If I want to know, I will know," Lin Xuan said calmly.
Kong Xiaoliu's mouth twitched. However, he glanced around at the unsurprised Lin Xunxian and the two barbecue men. His heart sank. This guy was even scarier than he had imagined.
"Senior, I'm only at the mid Foundation Establishment Realm now. I encountered an accident at birth, so I only know the surface. What I can do now is control space's power, achieve brief space travel, and envelop myself with space power. It completely ignores divine consciousness. People below the Nascent Soul stage can't detect me at all." Kong Xiaoliu said confidently.
After that, he looked at Lin Xunxian and whispered, "Except for freaks!"
He hadn't expected to stay in the Falling Moon Mountain for just four months. During this time, those who claimed to be from the Beast Palace used countless methods but couldn't find him. However, he was discovered by someone at the Golden Core Realm.
It wasn't his fault. If anyone had to be blamed, it was the freak in front of him. How could someone in the Golden Core stage master a Daoist Heart State that only those in the Soul Formation Realm could possess?
Unlike divine consciousness, the Dao Heart State was called a small enlightenment. It could merge with heaven and earth at any time. His expertise in space was still too low, making him easily detectable.
"So, you're useless to me, is that it?" Lin Xuan said mockingly, looking at Kong Xiaoliu.
Kong Xiaoliu chuckled awkwardly. His heart tightened. Useless. Wasn't this synonymous with barbecue? It was all over! Kong Xiaoliu instinctively spread his wings and flew around Lin Xuan. He looked at Lin Xuan expectantly and said, "Senior, I am beautiful!"
The hidden meaning was: I can be a pet!
Seeing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh because in his mind, an image from his previous life inexplicably came to mind. With minimal conversation, just one sentence: "Because I'm lecherous!"
