Within the white mist, the ethereal figure was none other than the Spirit Clan Saint who inherited the Space Dao of the Chipmunk.
The term "saint" refers specifically to the powerful souls within the Hall of Inheritance. It has nothing to do with their actual strength; it's merely a name given to them by the beings within the secret realm.
Among all the saints, the one before them is the strongest, after all, it possesses the power of space, and the power of space is beyond doubt.
Once all the younger beings in the secret realm had left, it used its spatial power to teleport the chipmunk over. Although it consumed some of its spiritual power, it was happy to do so, since the chipmunk was the only inheritor of its lineage.
"Hmm, the little guy has grown a lot." The saint smiled with satisfaction as he hugged the little creature that had jumped into his arms and stroked the chipmunk's head.
The chipmunk had excellent talent, and with the constant support of spirit stones and spirit liquids in its cultivation, its progress was not only fast but also very stable, without any signs of a weak foundation, which made it very happy.
"Squeak!" Old man, you're the one who brought me here! I want to learn this trick!
The chipmunk rubbed against the saint happily, its tail wagging excitedly, clearly very interested in this technique that could teleport a target directly to its face.
"Hehe, you little rascal, you know how to pick your moves. Don't even think about this for now. Wait until you transcend the mortal level."
The art of teleportation is not so simple. The fact that it can be done so easily is not only because it has a sufficient understanding of spatial power and sufficient strength.
It's also because it had previously marked the chipmunk with a spiritual imprint; otherwise, it wouldn't be so simple.
Upon hearing this, the chipmunk's wagging tail drooped instantly, and its ears drooped, looking utterly pitiful.
"Cultivate diligently, and one day you will reach my level." The sage patted its head, offering encouragement.
The chipmunk nodded, realizing it had been a bit too anxious. Its excitement subsided, and it suddenly remembered what it had been worrying about.
"Squeak! Squeak!" Old man, old man, I need a name! Please give me a name!
The sage was taken aback upon hearing this. "Why do you want me to name you? You're already level 10; you can choose your own title."
Although the saint was pleased, it hesitated. It was a being destined to perish, and if it were to name the chipmunk, the bond would be too deep. It could see that the chipmunk had a pure heart, and such a nature would surely be sentimental. If its demise were to affect the chipmunk's state of mind... it did not want that.
The chipmunk, unaware of the saint's concerns, grumbled angrily, "Squeak! Squeak!" The stinky fox was quite pleased, as the name "Gu Bai" had been given to it by its ancestors! "I want one too! I refuse to lose to Gu Bai!"
The chipmunk is really determined to stick with Gu Bai on this matter. Although the little guy is usually optimistic, he will never give up once he sets his mind on something.
The saint found the sullen chipmunk somewhat amusing, sighed inwardly, and still agreed to name it.
"You are a chipmunk with the ability to create space, so let me call you Hua Wu."
Chipmunks don't care about the origin of their names; they're overjoyed to be given one.
"Squeak!" From now on, my name is Hua Wu!
A gentle smile appeared in the saint's eyes, and the worries in his heart dissipated as he watched the bouncy little creature. Although it had only waited for a handful of inheritors over countless years, Heaven had been kind to it. This last inheritor was unexpected, yet perfectly suited to its needs.
After the chipmunk finished its excitement, the sage explained the inheritance again, teaching the chipmunk his entire legacy without reservation.
Once the chipmunk entered a learning state, it became very serious. The little guy studied day and night, and finally, at the moment he finished learning, he was instantly sent out of the secret realm by the saint.
Upon seeing the familiar burrow before it, the chipmunk cried out in surprise, a bad feeling creeping into its heart.
It had initially thought the sage had teleported it there to teach it cultivation, but now, something felt off, though it couldn't quite put its finger on it...
The anxious chipmunk immediately went to find Lin Qian. In its mind, Lin Qian was the smartest beast and would definitely be able to figure out the problem!
The chipmunk seemed to have been in the secret realm for six or seven days, but in reality, it had only been gone for less than two days, so Lin Qian and the others did not notice anything amiss.
Lin Qian watched as the squeaking chipmunk gradually fell silent. Although the sage hadn't said anything, only instructing the chipmunk on cultivation, it could roughly guess what was going on based on the chipmunk's description... After all, it was tired of this kind of routine.
"Aww." Your senior taught you cultivation and even gave you a name. This is a good thing, so don't overthink it.
Lin Qian did not intend to reveal his guess, because it would not benefit the chipmunk. Since the other party had not told the chipmunk, it was naturally unwilling for the chipmunk to know.
When the chipmunk heard Lin Qian, whom it trusted most, say this, it immediately felt relieved. Although it was still a little uneasy, it really couldn't think of any problem.
"Aww." Alright, you finally came up with a name, aren't you going to tell everyone? Hua Wu.
Seeing the little guy looking at it with a puzzled expression, Lin Qian immediately changed the subject. Although the name Hua Wu didn't seem to fit the temperament of a chipmunk at all, it also felt a bit off if a chipmunk had a cute name like Rice Ball.
However, since it was given by a senior, Lin Qian didn't dwell on it. A name is just a title, and as long as the chipmunk likes it, that's fine.
Upon hearing this, the chipmunk was immediately distracted, let out an excited shout, and ran off.
"Squeak!" The mouse has a name now!
