Battle of Spirit Beasts
"Danjie?"
He can actually form a pill?
Chi Zhao looked at his furry paws in disbelief, his face full of surprise. There was plenty of spiritual energy in the tower, and he had eaten a lot of spiritual pills. He didn't expect that he could form a pill without any burden by eating, drinking, and playing with the rhinoceros every day!
It turned out that he had been guarding the Netherworld Purple Flame in the cave every day, without any major worries or wishes. He just wanted to protect the flame, the only thing his parents had left him. How happy his parents would be if they saw him forming a pill, but in order to save him...
He was born with intelligence and knew that he was not from Tianyan Continent, but from another continent. If he really had the chance in the future, he really wanted to go to that other continent to take a look, to see if there were traces of his parents' existence, and if there were people like him...
While waiting for the thunder tribulation of forming a core, Qianluo set up many defensive formations for him and took out the broken Dragon Roar Sword to protect him. With the small black cauldron in front and the Dragon Roar Sword behind, he could be safe.
This is Chi Zhao's first time to form a pill, so there must be no mistakes.
The confused rhinoceros also felt the tense atmosphere. Its clear and innocent eyes rolled around, and it lay down in the spiritual grass and fell asleep peacefully, determined not to cause any trouble to the two of them!
“Boom!”
Spiritual clouds swirled, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a powerful aura emanated from above the Tongtian Snow Tower. Dark clouds and lightning, carrying the might of Heaven, fiercely delivered the first lightning strike.
“Snap—”
The small black cauldron suddenly expanded several times, blocking Chi Zhao's way. Although the thunderbolt was terrifying, it could not penetrate the small black cauldron. It was made of an unknown material, so strong that even the second and third thunderbolts fell, the small black cauldron did not move at all!
Inside the light curtain, Chi Zhao closed his eyes, gathered his energy and concentrated his mind, while Qian Luo was outside, fighting against the heavenly thunder.
Although the small black cauldron was extremely hard, it could not withstand multiple attacks. As time went on, the small black cauldron trembled, became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into normal size.
"Not good!" Qian Luo immediately put away the small black tripod and found that there was no crack on it. It was just a slight flash of light, and finally the light dimmed, like a black stone.
"Boom——" The last thunder is about to fall!
Chi Zhao raised his eyes, as if realizing something. He saw his master desperately blocking his way, holding up the sky for him with the shattered Dragon Roar Sword. Clearly outmatched, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, even as blood streamed from his palms.
Even the Yuanying cultivation level couldn't do anything about the Jindan tribulation, not to mention Qianluo only had cultivation level but no mental skills. She had only learned a few moves from the book "Sword Attack". The Dragon Roar Sword was damaged and had not been repaired yet, so it could not exert its maximum power.
Under the attack of the heavenly thunder, Qian Luo, who was struggling to hold on, lowered her body, spitting blood, and frowned slightly, but she never retreated.
"Owner!"
"Qianluo!"
It was the first time that Chi Zhao sincerely called his master. It was also the first time he realized that the female Qi-cultivating practitioner he saw in District 9 had grown up and was much more powerful than him, while he was lazy and always lagged behind his master, holding her back.
He is so useless that he can't help his master.
But he also didn't want his master to get hurt for him.
"Chi Zhao?"
Suddenly, there was a movement behind him, and Qianluo was pushed back. Tyrannical Thunder took advantage of the opportunity and quickly attacked Chi Zhao. Looking at the lightning chasing him, Chi Zhao's strength increased several times, he opened his mouth and roared, and a huge ball of light came out from between his horns to fight against it.
The ball of light in front of her eyes was so dazzling that Qianluo couldn't open her eyes. She was confused. She had never seen Chi Zhao use this trick before. She originally thought that he only fed on fire, but she didn't expect that the two horns on his head could be used.
Chi Zhao, who originally had a cat face, deer antlers, cow eyes and dog tail, had red and white fur. As he grew up, he became even more heroic and handsome, like a divine beast from heaven.
"Chi Zhao!"
Qianluo smiled happily, and the thunder finally dissipated. Outside the tower, the snow was white, and there were no more dark clouds, only snow-capped mountains.
After the white light faded, the cub with the original two-horned cat face seemed to have grown considerably. Its round eyes became narrower and longer, with the corners of its eyes tilted upwards, and its spirit was bright. Its black eyes had a hint of red. Its original red and white hair had turned completely white, and its long, curly fur made it look like a floating white cloud when it moved.
Chi Zhao held his neck high, his four hooves flying into the air, and pounced towards her. Even his voice became clear: "Qianluo, I have formed a pill, hahaha!"
"Hey, my voice?!"
How could he look like a young man? They were both surprised, which meant that he would definitely be a handsome young man in his later form.
Chi Zhaofei rushed over, concerned about Qianluo's injury, and immediately ran over, lowered his head and licked her knuckles: "Does it hurt? Why are you so stupid? That was a thunderbolt!"
Chi Zhao, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, felt heartbroken.
It was the first time that Qian Luo heard Chi Zhao care about her so much, and a warm feeling ran through her heart. However, Chi Zhao's voice... sounded too much like that of a cultivator of the same age, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Chi Zhao noticed her discomfort and snorted softly, "I knew you disliked me because I'm a boy!"
Chi Zhao brought up the previous accounts: "Needless to say, I can see it all. It turns out that when we were in District 9, you were particularly nice to Qingshu and didn't care about me at all. It was just because Qingshu was a girl that you cared about her especially. You also cared about Liu Liu, Xiaoqing and the others. Is it because you dislike me because I'm a boy? I know we are not the same gender..."
He spoke to himself, and his mood became a little depressed at the end: "After I transform, I will choose my gender and I will definitely choose female. I want to be the same gender as you. I also hope that I can get your care just like Qingshu and I."
A spirit beast could actually choose its gender after transforming? Qianluo blinked: "...No need."
Over the years, she really didn't care much about Chi Zhao. She was mainly busy on the road, saving people, killing people, fighting, and practicing...
Qianluo also patted his white fur, and after rubbing it for a while, she found it quite nice to rub. "Then I can be considered to care about you now. Look, I even risked my life to help you block the heavenly tribulation. Doesn't that mean I care about you? Moreover, during the days on the third level, we spent a lot of time together. Although I don't know how much time has passed, it should have been several years. I was very happy during this period. It was very leisurely. Finally, there was no so much fighting and killing, and I could focus on refining pills in peace."
This was Qianluo's true feelings. Although the Tongtian Snow Tower must be destroyed, she hadn't enjoyed the leisurely days on the third floor for a long time. She felt like she was being pushed forward, never stopping to rest. Such a leisurely and comfortable life was rare, but she knew she couldn't be blinded by the superficial comfort. She needed to continue destroying the tower, continuing to practice, and continuing to refine pills.
"You are my spirit animal. No matter your gender, we are soul-bound."
Qianluo hugged Chizhao's neck and buried her face in his hair, her heart soft. "Thank you, Chizhao. I'm very happy to have you by my side these days."
The only answer she got was a light snort from Chi Zhao, but his tail was wagging rapidly.
The rhinoceros next to her paced slowly, nudging Qianluo with the horn on its forehead. Qianluo put Chizhao down, turned around and touched the rhinoceros, thinking it wanted a hug too, but it kept opening its mouth.
"It seems I'm hungry again." The helpless female cultivator could only bite the bullet and continue to refine the elixir. No matter how spring and autumn came and went outside the secret realm, time flew by. In the secret realm, there was only eternal winter and heavy snow flying all over the sky.
…
"Bang!" The furnace was opened again. Chi Zhao turned over lazily and snored. He didn't care about this little sound. Qian Luo opened the furnace as many times as she exploded the furnace.
When will the seventh-grade elixir be successful?
How long will it take before he can leave!
If he doesn't leave the secret realm, he will become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the secret realm. He is currently in the middle stage of the Core Formation stage, which shows how much time it will take.
Qianluo carefully opened the furnace, and a green pill flew out. She dusted off the surrounding area and looked at it intently, feeling anxious. She prayed that it must be a seventh-grade pill!
This time she was refining the elixir of immortality, a pill that extended life, one level lower than the eighth-grade longevity pill.
I don't know how many times I have refined it. I only remember that most of the immortality grass in this area has grown. If I can't refine the seventh-grade immortality elixir, I don't know how many years it will take for it to grow completely.
"Awoo!" The rhinoceros that was lazily napping on the side suddenly smelled a fragrance. Its blood boiled and its heart beat as if it had encountered some rare delicacy. Its eyes widened as big as copper bells. Without waiting for Qianluo to react, it pounced on her and opened its bloody mouth to bite the pill.
"It's a success, it's a success, it must be a seventh-grade elixir, otherwise the rhinoceros wouldn't go crazy!" Chi Zhao jumped up with joy, staring at the rhinoceros!
"I saw it! It's seven danwen!" Qianluo was incredulous. She finally understood Fan Jin's madness after he passed the imperial examination. It wasn't because of poor mental quality, but because she had failed many times. Now that she had finally succeeded, she felt an indescribable sense of loss and a sense of unreality.
“Oh my God, am I dreaming?!” Qianluo lost her composure for the first time. She pinched her arm and grimaced in pain. She took a quick step forward and hugged Chi Zhao, dancing with joy. “Success!”
The seventh-grade elixir was finally successfully refined. The third layer should have been broken. They all focused their eyes on the door leading from the third layer to the fourth layer. They heard the door creak and slowly opened, and infinite light leaked out.
"Niuniu, let's go!" Chi Zhao was reluctant to leave the rhino. The rhino couldn't speak, but it could understand him. They had been together for a long time. They had become attached to each other. It was unclear when they would meet again.
Qianluo also touched the now-quiet rhino, noting its considerable improvement in cultivation. "Goodbye."
…
They continued to move forward, passing five levels and defeating six enemies, and finally reached the last level.
However, the last level was empty, without any illusions, any monsters, and not even a blade of grass could be seen.
But the darker the place, the more dangerous it is. This is the last time, so we must not let our guard down.
Chi Zhao and Qian Luo both had scars of varying sizes on their bodies. They had taken some medicinal pills, and their spirits had recovered, giving them enough spiritual power to cope with the upcoming battle.
"Bang!" A loud noise was heard above the head.
Then, golden glass mirrors descended from above, surrounding them one by one. Each mirror reflected her and Chi Zhao's image.
9 mirrors, 9 Qianluo, 9 Chizhao.
No matter where they walked, they could clearly see the panic and surprise on their faces. Every mirror could reflect the truest expressions on their faces.
"Mirror image!" Chi Zhao exclaimed, as if he had guessed it.
Qian Luo's brows furrowed, and the broken Dragon Roar Sword flew out from her palm. An identical Dragon Roar Sword appeared in the shattered lens. The sharp sword edge slashed across Qian Luo's face, and a shallow blood mark appeared on her face, and the bleeding did not stop.
Then a person who looked exactly like Qianluo appeared from the broken frame. The two people were dressed exactly the same, had exactly the same weapons, and had the same spirit beast Chi Zhao.
"I am the real Qianluo."
"I am the real Chi Zhao."
The two men and the beast said in unison: "You are the impostors."
At the same time, the images of the man holding the knife and Siam appeared in the other eight mirrors. They broke out of the mirrors, and the broken lenses scattered around Qianluo like snowflakes. Her and Chi Zhao's figures were reflected in each mirror, with exactly the same faces, exactly the same expressions, and exactly the same smiles.
They each called the other a fake.
"The first sword attack move, the mountains and seas are coming!"
Qianluo has already learned the "Sword Attack" technique. Her beautiful sword moves transform into phantoms of mountains and seas, like heavy green mountains and majestic seas, stepping forward one after another, with a majestic momentum that overshadows everything.
A normal opponent would have fled in fear at the sight of such a unique sword move, but she was facing her own reflection. They could also perform the same sword moves, so between them there was no winner or loser, only an endless battle of wits.
Ten men simultaneously unleashed the Mountain and Sea Attack. Only the unceasing clash of swords echoed, their aura overwhelming and shattering, shattering all the mirrors. The golden glass was reduced to dust, and the air was filled with golden powder. Undercurrents surged between the ten men, and the air was thick with the smell of blood. The flying blood, coated in a layer of golden powder, fell heavily to the ground.
The real Chi Zhao saw his master and roared angrily because he was outnumbered. At the same time, the other nine Chi Zhaos roared together, almost shattering the Nine-Layered Snow Tower.
"You imposters are not allowed to hurt Qianluo!"
"Get out! Get out!"
He was like an angry little lion, standing in front to protect his master, baring his teeth and trying to drive away these impostors.
But even if they were imposters, they were still Qianluo's spirit beasts, and they were all protecting their respective masters. The nine Chi Zhaos stood before the nine Qianluo, and in the face of these imposters, they also tried their best to protect their masters' lives.
"Netherworld Purple Flame! Blood Flame!"
A dazzling array of flames suddenly exploded in this small space. They shared the same flames as Chi Zhao, their scorching heat searing every inch of their skin. They weren't afraid, and neither was Qian Luo.
No matter how many moves Chi Zhao used, the opponent could always use the same moves. The same was true for Qian Luo. Qian Luo and Chi Zhao stood back to back: "If we keep fighting like this, we will all lose our spiritual power."
Chi Zhao: "They are our mirror images, so they will also lose all their spiritual power!"
"No, it won't. Look at the glazed gold powder floating in the air. It is supplying them with spiritual power. They are our mirror images, but at the same time they come from the mirror treasure." Qian Luo analyzed calmly, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and took ten pills in one breath.
Chi Zhao looked up. The lingering glazed gold dust crisscrossed around them, crisscrossing and feeding their respective clones with spiritual energy. The bleeding wounds quickly healed, and the consumed spiritual energy returned to their bodies. Like a group of indestructible monsters, they stood up again and stared at them with deep eyes.
"What should we do? They'll use the same tricks we use. They can even use other tricks we know against us. They'll become smarter and smarter, and eventually they'll completely replace us!"
Chi Zhao panicked. The person who understood you best in the world was your enemy, and also yourself. The clone was both your enemy and yourself.
"How can I defeat myself?"
Qianluo asked herself the same question. They were her, possessing the same moves, the same strange fire, and even possessing immortal cultivation simulators. They were replicas, but also her.
How do you defeat yourself? The only way is to be stronger than yourself.
How can you become stronger than yourself? The only way is to improve. Defeat your past self, and your future self will be the winner!
Qian Luo figured it out, her eyes lit up, as bright as stars: "They are just our past selves. The only way to defeat them is to keep improving!" Clones will always be clones and will never learn new skills.
Now she only needs to comprehend the last move of "Sword Attack" to defeat them.
