However, having already taken this spirit insect as his pet, and it has already transformed into human form, Xie Zhou has stayed in this place for several days but still hasn't found any useful clues, apart from the few strange phenomena that have occurred. However, he has already learned a lot and has long since adapted to it.
However, the flower mark on his forehead had not been erased and would occasionally emit bursts of red light, as if a real flower was blooming on his forehead. The pattern was becoming more and more obvious and bright red.
Every time Xie Zhou woke up, he would dispel the spell covering the pattern and examine the area in the mirror closely. He would feel increasingly melancholy as he looked at it. However, after a few days of getting used to it, he no longer felt that the area was particularly unusual.
However, Xie Zhou witnessed its changes. Not only did a spirit worm emerge from it, but the spirit worm would also transform into human form from time to time. Sometimes when Xie Zhou was bored, he would carefully count how many abnormal reactions had occurred on its body, as well as the spirit pets or magical treasures he had acquired.
However, it had been a long time since he had summoned them all. Xie Zhou recalled that scene and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. After all, the divine beasts under his command, as well as the few remnant souls that had begged her for help along the way, were still in his body. Although some of them had disappeared, their power still existed.
With their help, Xie Zhou gradually climbed to the top, and his strength continued to increase. The days in Qing Shi Town passed quickly. The matter of the Immortal Sword Tournament caused those people a lot of worry, but fortunately, Xie Zhou dealt with it immediately.
However, the task the system gave her has been slow to progress: finding the other half of the Beast God's remnant soul. Because the other half of the Beast God's soul is sealed within her body, even though the news of the Beast God's disappearance has been announced to the world and the Monster Mountain Range has returned to normal, the monsters seem to have been severely injured by the demonized Beast God and have not made any move.
This also suited the wishes of those immortal sects and families. They were preparing a banquet to celebrate their victory, but Xie Zhou didn't want to see those dignified people. It was all because the news about his spirit insect had been leaked, attracting the covetousness of many. Weren't those old guys all hoping for this spirit pet?
Xie Zhou looked at Rou Rou sleeping beside her. Seeing its round belly, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She playfully poked its chubby body with her finger. Normally, when it was in human form, it was a handsome young man. But once it revealed its true form, it was like this, making people laugh.
The sleeping chubby little thing rolled over a few times, perhaps because Xie Zhou had disturbed it, or perhaps because it felt a little itchy. It started to move its plump body, looking incredibly cute. Xie Zhou, seeing this, felt even more eager to tease it, and said with a smile, "You little lazybones, the sun's already high in the sky, why aren't you up..."
"ah……"
"All you do when you wake up is eat!"
The spirit insect opened its mouth wide and squinted its eyes, looking like it was waiting to be served. Xie Zhou smiled reproachfully, looking at it. How could he let it go hungry? He picked up a spirit fruit that had been prepared beforehand and handed it over.
The sunlight streaming through the window bathed the two of them, allowing them to leisurely watch the flowers bloom and fade, and stroll about, so they didn't want to disturb them.
Amidst the laughter and merriment, Xie Zhou suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her expression instantly changed.
"Hiss... Uh..."
A series of excruciating pains caused Xie Zhou to stop feeding the spirit insects. He turned his back, clutched his aching chest with one hand, and quickly used his spiritual power to examine his body.
The system was also surprised and immediately jumped out. A mechanical voice sounded. After being silent for a while, the system finally decided to pay attention to Xie Zhou.
It hurriedly tried to urge Xie Zhou to unleash his life sword intent to heal his body.
Xie Zhou closed her eyes and used her mental energy to search her body for the problem. Her mental sea was rapidly extending tentacles to find the culprit.
Only then did they realize that the anomaly was occurring in that half of the soul. They hadn't expected that it would suddenly be attacked and continuously eroded their heart, even though it had been sealed away.
Looking at the remnant soul of the Beast God tightly bound in the cage, Xie Zhou noticed that it was completely unmoved, yet the guiding force that was damaging his spiritual power was all pointing towards it. Somewhat puzzled, Xie Zhou circled around the half-soul of the Beast God and discovered that a portion of its divine power had uncontrollably attached itself to the chains around it, which were formed from his own magical power.
She was somewhat angry. She stepped forward and looked at the phantom she had obtained, saying, "Fine! Beast God, I respect you as a god, but you've done such a thing. What's going on? How dare you attack me? Be careful, or I'll destroy you. Let your broken soul recuperate in my spiritual sea. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
The Beast God seemed to realize his mistake and said, "Wasn't I too hasty? So much time has passed, and you still haven't helped me find the other half of my soul. My days are numbered. What if I accidentally disappear? How could a mighty Beast God just vanish like that? I'm not reconciled!"
"You've done this much for this? I've treated you well, haven't I? I don't think you're looking for me. Get out of my mind right now and get as far away as you can!"
Xie Zhou stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the illusory figure with great anger.
Seeing her so angry, the Beast God repeatedly apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault, but I..."
“I know you want to find your other half of the soul quickly, but you don’t even have a soul connection. We’ve been to many places, but you haven’t reacted at all, and we haven’t found anything about the Beast God. So where do you think I’m supposed to find your soul?”
The Beast God felt a little aggrieved and silently lowered his head, his phantom disappearing.
Xie Zhou shook his head helplessly, withdrew his divine sense, and the pain disappeared.
He then inquired with the system whether there were any records about the other half of his soul.
Tao came out and said, "Master, there might be a record in the treasure vault. Why don't we go and check it?"
Upon hearing that there was a clue, Xie Zhou immediately followed Tao into the treasure vault to search for ancient books.
"Tao, are you sure there are records about the Beast God on these bookshelves?"
"Of course."
"Okay, I'll look again!"
Xie Zhou searched high and low, looking through ancient books, and with the help of other spirit beasts, he finally found it.
Xie Zhou was very happy. It said that the Beast God's seal was located in two places: one in the Monster Mountain Range and the other in Penglai Pavilion.
