The Beast God's body was now like a blurred shadow, and his voice was somewhat indistinct.
The Beast God had exhausted much of its power in the previous wars and had no strength left to support itself. It temporarily sealed half of its soul into Xie Zhou's body.
Xie Zhou was forced to accept all of this. Before she could even agree, the Beast God took it upon himself to transfer his soul into Xie Zhou's body.
And the system also sent good news.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the task of taming the beast god! You will now have an energy card to enhance your power. Would you like to save it or use it? And which skill will you use it to upgrade?"
Xie Zhou used the Chaos Divine Lightning to enhance himself without even thinking about it.
Soon she felt the lightning of the Chaos Divine Thunder slowly emerge from her palm, and the tangible lightning surrounded her fingers, making her feel an increase in power.
She smiled and said, "This reward is really amazing!"
Seeing that the Beast God was sealed within its body, it saw no need for the beast god to remain in this space.
With a thought, Xie Zhou affixed the teleportation talisman to the space.
After leaving the space shortly afterward, they saw the elders patrolling around the barrier.
Upon seeing Xie Zhou, the elders immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation of Xie Zhou, the Beast God.
Several faces showed anticipation as they asked, "How is the girl?"
"Is the Beast God still around?"
"Have you seen it? Is it dead?..."
Upon meeting, they were bombarded with a barrage of questions, all concerning the Beast God. Xie Zhou simply informed the elders.
"Alright, elders, stop asking. I have good news for you: the Beast God has been completely annihilated!"
"If that's true, that's wonderful..."
The elders were all overjoyed, and some even asked Xie Zhou dozens of times in disbelief. Xie Zhou patiently explained each question and assured them that the Beast God would not appear again.
Just as the elder was finally relieved and ready to leave, Xie Zhou decided to follow him.
Suddenly, she received a telepathic message from a magical beast within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Is the Beast God really dead?"
Xie Zhou's eyes flashed, and he transmitted his voice to the magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"You magical beasts can rest assured, the Beast God is not dead..."
One sentence silenced the sincere followers of the Beast God. Afterwards, Xie Zhou left with the Sword Sect elders and disappeared into the distance.
As Xie Zhou walked along the road, he would occasionally hear the voices of the surrounding magical beasts. They were all asking about the Beast God's situation. However, Xie Zhou had already revealed that the Beast God was not dead. However, he did not intend to tell them that the Beast God's soul was sealed within him, lest he bring about his own demise.
The elders' impression of Xie Zhou had clearly changed drastically. They had learned of Xie Zhou's formidable strength, so they dared not say much. They did not press him further about the fact that the Beast God had completely disappeared. As long as the Beast God was gone, life was peaceful, and they did not dwell on it any further.
However, the so-called hidden forces that caused this series of events need to be investigated thoroughly. The first force they suspected was a secret sect that had emerged out of nowhere over the centuries, namely the Hall of the Dead. Long ago, its leader wanted to gather the power of the Great Sect, collect mysterious methods, expand their power, and secretly cultivate forbidden books, which was a disgrace to all sects.
The elders knew perfectly well what was going on, but they were determined not to let anyone with ulterior motives find out, lest it cause unnecessary panic.
An elder from the Sword Sect then turned to Xie Zhou, intending to discuss something with him.
However, as they approached the mountain gate, several people who had been waiting there rushed over as soon as they saw Xie Zhou. He had no chance to interrupt them. Seeing that they all rushed up to him, the elders gave up.
"Senior sister! Senior sister!"
"Junior sister!..."
The few glib-tongued junior disciples usually surrounded Xie Zhou, whispering among themselves.
"Senior brother?"
"Junior sister, you're finally back! We've been waiting here for who knows how long! Thank goodness you're back safe and sound!"
"Don't worry, I'm incredibly lucky and have an unkillable life!"
Xie Zhou patted his chest and declared confidently.
Several junior brothers were tugging at Xie Zhou's clothes with longing eyes.
Senior Brother Luo said directly, "I think you junior brothers should hurry up and do your homework. If Master sees you, you're going to get a scolding..."
After Luo Fentian taunted the group of rascals and chased them away, he led Xie Zhou along the path of the Sword Sect.
"Junior sister, what do you think of the strange behavior of that beast god?"
"Senior brother is indeed well-informed! The Beast God has disappeared; I defeated him!"
"Hahaha……"
Luo Fentian chuckled a few times, then tapped Xie Zhou's brow with a look of affection, saying, "As you know, Junior Sister's power is growing stronger and stronger. One day, even I, as her senior brother, won't be able to defeat her. Moreover, the Sword Sect Master is intentionally grooming you..."
"Although I am skilled, I am still far from being good enough. Those junior brothers and sisters of the Tongken disciples still need my help!"
"Um!"
The two chatted happily and eventually arrived at the main hall where the elders of the Sword Sect were holding their meeting.
The elders of the Sword Sect had already discussed it beforehand. They had witnessed Xie Zhou's strength firsthand, and the timing was perfect, as the annual Immortal Sword Tournament was about to begin.
The elders of the Sword Sect admired Xie Zhou's strength, and several of them repeatedly recommended him at the conference, which the sect leader of the Sword Sect also agreed to.
After the candidate was chosen, Xie Zhou appeared before the elders just as they finished discussing the matter.
Seeing her was like seeing a lucky star. The elder gently smoothed his sleeve and stepped forward to invite her, saying, "Xie Zhou, we elders have discussed it and decided that we have witnessed your strength. Therefore, we plan to invite you to participate in the Immortal Sword Tournament. The winner of the annual tournament will receive mysterious power, but only those with profound talent can participate in this competition."
"Your strength is sufficient! You are definitely capable of handling this task. Why don't you represent the Sword Sect and participate in this Immortal Sword Tournament?"
Xie Zhou originally intended to refuse, after all, he had already experienced many battles in the Monster Mountain Range, and the journey had taken a lot of his energy. Although his strength had improved a lot, Xie Zhou wanted to relax for a while. Being in a tense state all the time and fighting was not good.
Just as she was thinking of taking a break, she was about to refuse when a mechanical notification sounded from the system.
"Ding! The host has triggered a side quest. If the host participates in this Immortal Sword Tournament, it will definitely help the host's strength increase greatly. The mysterious power within is also an immortal treasure. Doesn't the host want to obtain it?"
