Chapter 917 - 401: The World as a Tomb, No Assessment Needed

Shedding his previous coldness, he suddenly became extremely friendly. With a warm smile, he extended an invitation to Li Chang’an.

"Fellow Daoist, you do not need to take the test. You may follow me directly to the depths of this place."

"What?"

Hearing this, Cui Yan and the others revealed expressions of astonishment. Why did they have to painstakingly undergo the test while Li Chang’an could pass directly? They had no idea.

While they were discussing, Li Chang’an had employed Tier Four Beast Taming methods.

Within the Tier Four Beast Taming skills, there were many minor techniques that could make a Demon Beast feel happy and joyful. During this process, the Demon Beast would unknowingly develop a sense of closeness toward the Beast Master.

Furthermore, Li Chang’an used quite a few Elixir Pills that increased a Demon Beast’s affinity. The Pill Formulas for these Elixir Pills were all recorded in that Tier Four Beast Taming inheritance.

Because of this, the Tiger King smiled genially, full of goodwill, and secretly transmitted a voice message to ask, "Daoist, I have only seen this kind of feeling described in the records left by my ancestors. Could it be that you are a Tier Four Beast Master?"

"That’s right."

"Then please follow me, Daoist!"

The Tiger King explained that according to the will left by that senior of the Beast Taming Sect, if the person from a later generation who discovered his tomb was a Tier Four Beast Master, they would require no testing and could directly take away his inheritance.

The Tiger King was extremely enthusiastic and waved his paw behind him.

"Disperse!"

The many Tiger Demons behind him immediately scattered to both sides, clearing a path for Li Chang’an.

Seeing this scene, Cui Yan and the others couldn’t help but widen their eyes in utter incomprehension. Why didn’t they receive such treatment?

Then they heard the Tiger King say, "Rest assured, Daoist. I am not like those cunning Human Race Cultivators. I will never deceive you. You can follow me with complete confidence."

"I understand." Li Chang’an wasn’t too worried. According to the Divination, thanks to his Tier Four Beast Taming skills, he would not encounter any danger.

He asked the Tiger King, "Daoist, the reason I could come here is because of the guidance of Daoist Cui beside me. Could she accompany me to the location of the tomb?"

"Naturally." The Tiger King had already recognized Li Chang’an as the inheritor of their master. In other words, all the inheritance and Treasure belonged to Li Chang’an. As long as Li Chang’an wished, he could distribute the Treasure to anyone present.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Cui Baiying’s beautiful face. She said with a beaming smile, "Daoist Li, I knew I didn’t invite the wrong person this time!"

"Daoist Cui, come with me."

"Alright!" Cui Baiying did not hesitate at all and immediately followed Li Chang’an.

Right at this moment, Cui Yan and the others finally couldn’t hold back.

"Daoist Hu, wait a moment!" Cui Yan shouted loudly.

"Why does this Li Chang’an not need a test? Does he have any special qualities?

"Daoist Hu, we are all no weaker than this Li Chang’an. Could you look closer?"

As Celestial Prides of their respective Sects, they possessed outstanding talent and almost all of them had special merits. They believed they were in no way inferior to Li Chang’an. Thus, they wanted to know in what aspect they could not compare to him.

The Tiger King turned his head and cast a cold glance at them. "This Daoist Li has a far superior appearance and a much more outstanding temperament. He is truly a rare sight in this world. None of you can compare. Go and take the test! If you don’t follow the rules, don’t blame this king for being impolite!"

"What?"

Hearing this answer, Cui Yan and the others were dumbfounded. Just because Li Chang’an was good-looking? They had thought of many reasons—even wondering if Li Chang’an possessed the Tiger-demon Race bloodline—but they never expected such an absurd situation.

Liu Xuanfeng found it hard to accept. "Daoist Hu, are you really not joking?"

"Why would this king lie to you? This king has always been honest and never deceives anyone!"

Having said that, the Tiger King ignored them and led Li Chang’an deep into the Secret Realm World.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay, finding it both absurd and unbelievable.

Cui Yang asked in disbelief, "Is Li Chang’an’s appearance truly a rare sight in this world?"

Lin Baizhi pondered for a moment before nodding gently. "Daoist Li’s appearance is indeed extraordinary, but more importantly, it’s his temperament..."

Hearing this, the crowd fell into a speechless silence. They truly had no other choice but to accept the test, hoping to pass quickly and compete with Li Chang’an again.

Meanwhile, Li Chang’an was following the Tiger King deep into this Secret Realm World.

On the way, the Tiger King admitted frankly, "Daoist Li, this Tier Four Demon Monarch is actually the ancestor of our race. He died a long time ago."

Li Chang’an nodded. "I know."

"So you noticed it long ago. No wonder you are so calm," the Tiger King suddenly realized.

The reason he had approached Li Chang’an first to talk was not only because Li Chang’an recognized his race but also because he felt Li Chang’an was much calmer than the other Cultivators.

"Daoist Li, back then, there were two Tier Four Demon Beasts under my master: the ’Two-winged Golden-eyed Tiger’ and the ’Three-headed Cyan-faced Lion’. As early as when my master was in Qi Refining, these two Demon Beasts had already been following him..."

The Tiger King spoke slowly, recounting the past of that senior. These past stories had been passed down from generation to generation within their race.

Hearing these stories, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but think of Xiaohai and Dahuang. Those two guys had also followed him during his Qi Refining phase and had gone through countless hardships and obstacles with him.

Over the next two days, the Tiger King finished telling most of that senior’s life deeds and soon reached the events after his successful Nascent Soul Formation.

Even in the Ancient Beast Taming Sect, a Nascent Soul True Monarch could be considered an expert. With Divinity Transformation experts remaining secluded, Nascent Soul experts were the pillars of the Sect.

Because of this, that senior began to come into contact with many of the Sect’s secrets.

"My master discovered that the Sect’s Cultivators didn’t care at all about the lives of mortals. They even specially bred mortals in captivity, using them as blood food to feed the Demon Beasts just because many Demon Beasts liked the scent of mortals.

"My master was furious about this. During the Ancient Era of Ten Thousand Races, the reason the Human Race was reduced to blood food was because the Human Race was not strong enough.

"But in the era of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, the Human Race had already dominated the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm, yet massive numbers of mortals were still reduced to blood food..."

The Tiger King spoke of the true reason why that senior had betrayed his Sect. In order to help the mortals, he defected from his Sect, was placed on the Sect’s wanted list, and became a Demon Cultivator guilty of terrible crimes.
