In the Sunset Forest, all the spirit beasts looked toward the direction of the tomb.
"It's Bai Xiao's voice, so excited. Could he have broken through again? No, without heavenly lightning, how could he have broken through?"
"What exactly was discovered?"
"They want us to go to Uncle Qing's place? What does he want to do?"
The kings of each tribe were puzzled when they received his message. What important matter did Bai Xiao have that made them all gather together?
Although they are all demonic beasts, due to the different habits of each race, not all races can live in harmony. Gathering them all together would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
However, as the King of White Tigers and one of the top experts in Sunset Forest, Bai Xiao set off to save face and out of their own curiosity.
The old tree stretched out its branches and leaves, looking at Bai Xiao who was pacing back and forth excitedly, puzzled: "What exactly did you find? It's rare to see you so agitated."
Bai Xiao suppressed his excitement: "Uncle Qing, you'll find out soon enough. You might not be as calm as I am."
The old tree of Qingyang laughed heartily: "Something that can shock me? And it's good news, could it be that Lord Qilin has come back to life?"
He joked, then suddenly widened his eyes, meeting Bai Xiao's gaze so intense that even the leaves stopped rustling: "Could it really be..."
Upon hearing Bai Xiao's silent affirmation, the old tree was unusually excited: "You're not lying to me?"
"I think it must be Lord Qilin's son. He is not yet born and is still in the egg."
"You are definitely a Qilin egg and nothing else..."
The old tree spoke with increasing fervor. After all, with the White Tiger's knowledge, he shouldn't be unable to recognize the Qilin's aura; he just found it too incredible.
For so many years, they had been hoping for this, thinking it was just wishful thinking, but they never expected it to come true.
Before long, the Wolf King, the Flood Dragon, the Ever-Changing Butterfly King, the Ant Queen, the Bear Overlord, the Overlord Flower, the Eagle King, and others gathered around Uncle Qing. They scrutinized Bai Xiao, as if they would tear him to pieces if he dared to play tricks.
The Eagle King plummeted from above, its speed so great it seemed to tear through space: "Bai Xiao, everyone's here. What brings you here?"
The Queen of the Night flower twisted its enormous body, its mouth a full five meters in diameter, its inner stamens gleaming like sharp teeth, opening and closing as if to say: "If you dare to mess with me, I'll eat you up in one bite."
The smallest one present was the Queen Ant, only the size of a palm. But even though she was so small, the hurricane brought by the Eagle King did not move her an inch. Her ant legs had many barbs. Xiong Ba had suffered from this before. Even the tough hide of the bear demon was easily cut by her, and it took a long time to heal. He was tormented for more than a month.
The quietest of all was the Butterfly King, which immediately perched on Uncle Qing's tree trunk, gently fluttering its wings.
But don't think she's incompetent just because she's pretty. With that poison powder all over her body, who wouldn't be wary of her?
Needless to say, the dragon is a snake that transformed into a dragon, and it's a venomous snake with a jet-black body; it looks like it's not to be trifled with.
Some of them had never even met each other before, and now they wanted to find out what important matter the White Tiger had that had brought them all together at the same time.
"There is indeed something I need to tell you about our Sunset Forest, and even about all of our demon race."
He gazed in the direction of the tomb: "Does everyone still remember that legend? Legend has it that when demons die, they can go to the tomb and have the Qilin reborn."
What are you trying to say?
Actually, nobody really believes it; they just don't want to shatter this dream.
"What I'm trying to say is that the legend is true."
Eagle King scoffed at him: "What are you talking about? Although I respect Lord Qilin very much, once it dissipates, it dissipates. It's not like the legendary phoenix that can be reborn from the ashes. Even if it were a phoenix, if its divine core is destroyed, I believe it would only die with regret."
"Whether I'm lying or not, you'll know once you come with me."
Seeing his certainty, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it really be true?
How could that be?
At this moment, the old tree of Qingyang spoke up: "Legends are not necessarily unfounded."
"But even you, Uncle Qing, might not be sure about this."
“I may be old, but how can I know everything? When the master planted me here, I had only just begun to awaken my spiritual sense. Let’s go take a look. If it really is a Qilin, then we need to take precautions and make preparations.”
"Yes, we absolutely cannot let the humans know." This is the point on which the demon beasts agree most. Once the humans are involved, anything can happen.
Legend has it that the Qilin has the ability to traverse space. No one on the Qingyang Continent has ascended to immortality for a long time. If they knew of the existence of the Qilin, the peace of the Sunset Forest would be lost.
"I've been deep into the tomb before, why didn't I find it then?"
Bai Xiao sighed, "I don't have it either, it's Song Xia."
"Song Xia?"
“Song Xia is the vine that Uncle Qing protected and nurtured. It was only after she appeared that the Qilin Egg appeared.”
"I never would have guessed that such an ordinary little demon vine would be so favored by the Qilin."
The Queen of the Night expressed her admiration without reservation: "Being able to enter the depths of the tomb must have something worthwhile; I must see it for myself."
Among the group were those who had been to the tomb before and those who hadn't. But regardless of whether they had been there or not, they couldn't just go in whenever they wanted. Bai Xiao frequented this place, so it didn't pose any obstacle for him.
Xiong Ba went berserk as soon as he entered, and the Wolf King was no better off. However, the Ant Queen and the Butterfly King were not affected and kept up with Bai Xiao in speed.
"Huh?" Bai Xiao spotted Song Luo halfway there, quite surprised. "You actually made it this far? How long has it been?"
It's no wonder he did this; even Xiong Ba and the Wolf King were stopped in their tracks, yet Song Luo, a half-demon who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, was able to persist and travel this far.
At this moment, his opinion of Song Luo completely changed, and he began to have doubts about the limitations of a half-demon.
With such character and perseverance, I don't believe he won't achieve great things in the future.
This mother and son are destined for greatness.
He recalled Qilin Egg's affection for Song Xia and thought that in the future, Sunset Forest would definitely have a place for them, and they would no longer need to rely on Uncle Qing's protection to survive.
However, what Bai Xiao didn't know was that he was being too conservative. In the future, this mother and son would lead the demon race of the entire Sunset Forest to a new level.
He had lost count of how many times he had fallen. Song Luo had no time to care about anything else, and he didn't even notice that many more demons were also venturing into the tomb at the same time. He had only one belief in his heart, which was that no matter what, he had to see his mother.
A burst of spiritual energy suddenly transformed into a swift wolf and crashed into him. Song Luo had no spiritual energy left to dodge and was heavily knocked to the ground. The spiritual energy of various demon races in the tomb surged wildly within his body, and his meridians were also severely damaged.
If an ordinary cultivator were like this, he would probably have collapsed long ago, but he did not; he persevered through the ordeal.
He only stopped recuperating when he could no longer continue, and would go back in when he felt better, each time going a little further than before.
