And so, the two of them continued their journey for half a month without ever tacitly agreeing to each other.
Gazing at the city-state not far away, Qin Luo once again removed the restriction on the ring.
This time, after the Supreme Remnant Soul appeared, it stood silently in place, its invisible gaze fixed on Qin Luo.
A moment later, the Supreme Soul suddenly launched an attack without warning.
A wisp of pitch-black mist shot towards Qin Luo at a speed almost beyond his sight. Its speed was so great that he had no way to dodge it.
Alarm bells rang in Qin Luo's mind, but he calmed down in an instant. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he took a deep breath. All the muscles in his body tensed up instantly, veins bulged, and writhing dragons twisted under his skin.
Then he clenched his fist tightly and threw a punch.
Bang!
After a muffled thud, Qin Luo's body flew backward uncontrollably, his feet carving two furrows in the ground. He retreated several feet before barely managing to regain his footing.
He raised his head, looking at the remnant soul of the Supreme One, without asking any questions, simply waiting quietly for the other party's explanation.
"This physical body..."
With the cultivation level of the Divine Travel Realm, the physical body has already reached the level of Body Tribulation!
The Supreme Remnant Soul was secretly surprised. She hadn't expected that a simple test based on intuition would reveal Qin Luo's physical body to be so powerful. However, she remained outwardly calm and quickly found an excuse to cover it up:
"Hmph, from now on, if you seal off this ring's senses without my permission, don't blame me for being ruthless. This action is just a small warning to you."
Qin Luo knew that this was just an excuse from the Supreme Remnant Soul, but he didn't expose it. His physical body had indeed improved quite dramatically recently. Now that he had tempered two strands of Primordial Breath, his physical body could be said to have completely transcended the Divine Travel Realm and had reached the range of Body Tribulation.
"This junior was indeed reckless this time and did not consider the feelings of the senior. However, this junior was eager to find the coordinates and wanted to speed up the journey, so he neglected many things."
"You're smart enough to know better than to do it again. Now, let's go."
After saying that, the cloud of black mist took the lead and drifted into the city-state.
"This... I was attacked for no reason. Are they using me as a punching bag?"
Qin Luo gave a wry smile, and then quickly chased after the Supreme Remnant Soul as it turned to gaze at him.
The city-state was bustling with people, a scene of great prosperity and activity.
Outside the teleportation array, Qin Luo keenly sensed several people with characteristics of demonic beasts.
They varied in appearance; some were covered in colorful feathers, seemingly transformed from some kind of bird or beast. Others had a wild, eerie light in their eyes, with a faint tail swaying behind them, revealing their primal instincts that had not yet completely faded.
"Huh, is that a monster?"
This made Qin Luo murmur softly, his tone full of doubt. His brows furrowed, and his gaze swept back and forth over the strangely shaped and distinctive demonic beasts.
"Hmph, what's so strange about that? Haven't you ever seen a descendant of a divine beast in human form during your cultivation journey?"
Upon seeing this, the Supreme Remnant Soul uttered a voice tinged with contempt.
Qin Luo was still full of doubts, his eyes flashing with confusion, before he asked softly in a slightly probing tone:
"But when we were in the Soul Contract Realm, the demonic beasts we needed to hunt and sign Soul Contracts with were..."
Upon hearing his words, the Supreme Remnant Soul first cast a surprised glance, as if scrutinizing an ignorant child. After a moment, a disdainful smile appeared on his face, and he then spoke in response:
"You mean whether these descendants of divine beasts would mind or something, right?"
"I really don't know how you cultivated to this Divine Travel Realm. Your knowledge is really shallow. When you were in the Soul Contract Realm, you only hunted low-level demonic beasts. Naturally, they are not comparable to these descendants of divine beasts in front of you."
"Even the widely circulated ranking of all beasts only has a slight connection to the top one hundred in terms of bloodline. The rest of the demonic beasts are nothing more than low-level beings with mixed bloodlines and nascent intelligence to those divine beasts."
Hearing this, Qin Luo frowned slightly, his eyes still filled with doubt, and continued to ask:
"Then let's do it your way."
"Is it possible for someone to form a contract with those divine beasts? After all, they are so powerful and highly intelligent. If one could associate with them, wouldn't it be a great help on the path of cultivation?"
The supreme remnant soul gently shook its head, saying with a hint of arrogance:
"Your idea is not bad, but it is too naive. Divine beasts are proud by nature and have incomparably noble bloodlines. How could they easily sign a contract with humans? Not to mention that they are extremely resistant to contracts, even the few divine beast descendants who have come into contact with humans by chance mostly adhere to the principle of equal cooperation, rather than a master-servant contract."
Hearing her say that, Qin Luo looked at the three simpletons in his dantian again and suddenly became somewhat skeptical.
At this point, the Supreme Remnant Soul paused for a moment, then sighed:
"However, there is still a slight possibility of forming a contract with those top-tier divine beasts."
Qin Luo immediately looked up and stared at her, uttering a sound of surprise:
"oh?"
"But you don't need to think about it too much. Only the top forces in the world have that kind of opportunity. Only at the once-in-a-century Divine Beast Festival can they have the chance to make a pact with a divine beast."
"However, even in such grand festivals, the contracts are usually only signed by the collateral branches of those divine beasts. The direct descendants of divine beasts value bloodline inheritance extremely highly and rarely form contracts with outsiders."
"Those who have truly succeeded in forging a direct pact with a divine beast are extremely rare throughout history. They are all individuals of exceptional talent, blessed with good fortune, and who have endured countless trials. The price they paid and the effort they put in are beyond your imagination. Speaking of which, this year's Divine Beast Festival is almost here..."
Before he could ponder for long, the Supreme Remnant Soul snapped out of his reverie and poured cold water on Qin Luo's hopes:
"Now that you have reached the Divine Travel Realm, you should focus on your future cultivation and not have any unrealistic desires. The supernatural powers bestowed upon you by those divine beasts are not so easy to obtain."
Qin Luo didn't feel much disappointment about this. What did a mere, ordinary contractual ability mean to him?
He possesses three different supernatural powers, all of which originated from divine beasts of various ranks at the beginning of time, making them far rarer than ordinary people can imagine.
While the two remained silent, the teleportation array had already completed its charging.
After quickly handing over the required spirit stones, Qin Luo didn't hesitate for long and stepped into the magic array.
With a flash of dazzling light and a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy, the straight and upright figure was instantly enveloped by the power of the magic array and vanished in an instant.
When the light faded, his figure had disappeared into the city.
