Youyou felt that the little monster was just living too well and had too much free time! In all these years, the entire Zhenyan Sect only had one high-level spirit beast, and since it was taken in by Youyou, everyone in the sect called it Lord Fenze.
Its rank was so high that even Youyou couldn't figure out its exact rank. It dominated several forests near the sect with its strength, often helping the beast cultivator disciples capture spirit beasts, so the disciples all doted on it. Even when disciples returned from training trips, they would bring it spirit fruits, fur coats, and the like; it had so many gifts that it could change them every day.
So over time it started to get arrogant. Fortunately, in this world, there's always someone who can subdue another. Although the little monster was domineering in the sect, it was terrified of Feng Rong. Perhaps it was the instinctive suppression of its demonic bloodline, but it cowered faster than anyone else when it saw Feng Rong, hiding whenever it could.
When its words reached Feng Rong's ears that day, it was immediately dragged out and reprimanded. No one knows exactly how Feng Rong disciplined it, but upon its return, Fen Ze's hard-won snow-white fur vanished completely again. It then began spending its days carrying a bucket around the sect, repairing the sect buildings it had damaged, including the cracked floating peak.
The soul beast, however, felt it also bore some responsibility. Although Fenze had provoked it, it still volunteered to take on half of the repair work. As a virtuous underworld official, the soul beast was proficient in magic, making it far more convenient than the little monsters that only relied on brute force. Its recovery magic was incredibly smooth. In just two or three days, it had completely repaired its half.
Yes, he's a sensible child.
Fenze, who could only carry the bucket and do all the work by hand, and was forbidden from having his disciples help him: "..." Bah! Scheming dog!
After this incident, Youyou remembered a long-standing question: what level of monster was the little monster?
This question had been on her mind since she first encountered the little monster. Before, she didn't understand demonic beasts, so she only roughly guessed that the little monster was a high-level demonic beast, very close to reaching its maximum level, just one step away from ascension. Otherwise, it couldn't possibly possess such high intelligence and be able to speak. While it couldn't yet transform into human form, that was likely because it was still a cub.
However, over the years, she had come to know more and more about the Immortal Realm and had read many popular science books about monsters, but she had never seen a monster like this little one. Even Yuan Qi and Feng Rong, two gods, did not know the species of the little monster.
This time, the soul beast came from the underworld, and its strength was comparable to that of an immortal in the celestial realm. Even Nie Zheng felt that his strength was inferior to that of the soul beast. However, the little monster was able to fight the soul beast to a draw. Although the soul beast deliberately let him win, if You You hadn't intervened that day, the little monster might not have lost.
"So... what level of spirit beast is the little monster?" Youyou subconsciously looked at her father, Yuan, beside her.
“I have never seen such a spirit beast before.” Yuan Qi still shook his head and said, “It is only because it is not good at cultivation techniques and cannot transform into human form, but its original form is surprisingly powerful, and it has some of the shadow of an ancient mythical beast.”
Youyou was taken aback. "Does Father Yuan mean that it might be an ancient mythical beast?"
"Impossible!" Before Yuan Qi could answer, Feng Rong retorted, "Ancient beasts went extinct long ago, even earlier than the gods. How could they possibly have survived to this day? Besides, Fen Ze is still a cub."
Indeed, demonic beasts are different from gods. They are not naturally intelligent and could not have devised methods to pass down to the present day like the gods. Even if they could live that long, they would not still be cubs like the little monster.
"What kind of monster is that Burning Swamp?" The key point is that even the little monster itself doesn't know.
However, the spirit beast beside them suddenly spoke up, "It's not... a demon beast!"
"Huh?" You You was taken aback, and the others in the room all looked over at the same time. "What do you mean? Soul beast? Do you know what a little monster is?"
The soul beast frowned, seemingly conflicted, and after a moment said, "Anyway, no."
"Then what is it?" Youyou wanted to ask more clearly.
"..." The soul beast lowered its head and did not respond.
"Can you tell me what order it is?"
"..."
"Can't I say?"
"..." His lips twitched several times, but he still didn't say a word, and he turned back into the taciturn boy he used to be.
Although Youyou was a little anxious, she didn't want to press them further, since they were guests and she had no obligation to answer their questions.
"It's alright, it's okay if you can't talk about it, it's not a big problem anyway." It doesn't matter what level the little monster is, as long as it's a beast from her True Path Sect, that's enough. She thought for a moment and then added, "By the way, what happened last time was because Fenze deliberately caused trouble, and we've already taught it a lesson. I hope you don't mind."
"No... I don't mind." The soul beast shook its head, looked up at her, and seemed to want to say something. Its brows furrowed, and it looked extremely conflicted. Just as it was about to speak, it suddenly sensed something, and its expression changed drastically. "Netherworld Chaos!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and transformed into a cloud of yin energy, rushing out the door and leaving the True Evolution Sect in the blink of an eye.
Youyou: "..."
What's going on? You said you didn't mind?!
Yuan Qi stood up, his expression grave, and said, "Something must have happened!"
You You's heart tightened, and she immediately grabbed Feng Rong and said, "Father Yuan, please keep an eye on the sect. Feng Rong and I will go after them and take a look."
After saying that, he went straight out and rode his sword to chase after the soul beast.
The two chased after the spirit beast all the way out of the sect, but it had already disappeared from sight. "Feng Rong, what direction?"
"Due west!" Feng Rong sensed it and pointed to the right.
Without hesitation, Youyou flew to the right on her sword. She flew very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she saw a familiar cloud of yin energy in front of her, which was the soul beast that had rushed out.
Just as she was about to speak, a chilling aura swept over her from the front, as if she had been thrown into ice water in an instant. Even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to cool down, and something was spreading in all directions.
This is……
Youyou stopped abruptly, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her suddenly stop, Feng Rong immediately flew back and looked at her in confusion.
“Ahead…” Youyou pointed ahead and said, “Something has come out.”
"What?" Feng Rong was taken aback, not understanding what she meant. She looked in the direction the woman was pointing and saw a dark area, as if a black curtain had been drawn back, rapidly enveloping the entire sky. "Why did it suddenly get dark?"
Youyou had regained her senses and sped up, continuing to fly forward. "Quick, we have to get there quickly!"
Feng Rong immediately followed, and in the blink of an eye, the two had caught up with the soul beast ahead, but were so shocked by what they saw that they gasped in surprise.
