Chapter 504 - 503: Summoning Mirror

Chapter 504: Chapter 503: Summoning Mirror

The Celestial Tribulation vanished, the Flying Fish were annihilated, and the matter of the Sea of Seven Emotions was more or less over.

While everyone was still reeling from the shock, the Ghost Cultivators had already retreated.

The plan had failed. All deployed Ghost Cultivators had been wiped out.

The reason for the failure was under review.

The result of the review: the timing was off.

Had they avoided the Celestial Tribulation, they likely would have succeeded.

Filed away as a cautionary tale.

As Jian Shisan left, he looked at his sword and couldn’t help but remark, "The little friend is quite strong. No wonder he could marry the Saintess."

The man was more than just a little skilled.

Jian Shisan immediately felt a sense of relief. ’The path is correct.’

’As long as I’m getting stronger.’

He had already decided. He would become stronger—stronger than anyone else. Only then could he marry his junior martial sister.

(One wonders what Yue Xi would think if she knew his thoughts.)

Jian Shisan didn’t head back right away. Instead, he took a stroll around the Seven Emotions Coast.

He was mainly concerned about Jiang Zuo. If anything unexpected happened, he would intervene.

Fortunately, nothing did.

But during his stroll, he discovered something interesting.

A giant whale.

The whale was a bit on the large side, but its Cultivation was impressive—Quasi-Tier Seven.

It also possessed a unique mental consciousness infection, making it more than a match for an ordinary Tier Seven.

’If I could tame it, it might make for a nice little pet.’

Coincidentally, Xuanwu was also in a training phase, so having an opponent would be convenient.

He could give it to his junior martial sister to keep as a pet, which would be nice. It could also serve as a mount.

It could even protect the servants sometimes.

Jian Shisan was very pleased with this whale.

The mental infection was a problem, though. He figured he could work on it; reducing its area of effect and weakening its power shouldn’t be an issue.

But it would only be suitable for those around Tier Five.

Anyone weaker would be easily infected.

A Tier Five could be completely immune, and that was good enough.

With that, Jian Shisan strode toward the giant whale. The whale looked at Jian Shisan with utter disdain. ’He’s not my master.’

’Anyone who isn’t Master is food. I’ll eat him.’

And so, the whale’s life reached its peak of regret.

Looking back, it wondered how it could have been so stupid. Why didn’t it run?

In the end, the whale’s wretched cries echoed across the scene.

It wanted to go home. It wanted to find its master.

Few people knew what Jian Shisan was up to.

Jiang Zuo certainly didn’t. He had just surfaced, and there was no one around.

This put him in a difficult position.

’Just me, all alone. Isn’t that too conspicuous?’

Jiang Zuo felt he needed to find the main group.

But before Jiang Zuo could go looking for them, he saw people returning one after another.

Jiang Zuo didn’t care what they were coming back for. As long as there were people, it was fine.

Jiang Zuo touched his face. ’Crap, the Divine Transformation Pill wore off.’

’Good thing Su Qi gave me two extra, just in case.’

’Anyway, I should try to change back to my previous appearance.’

Soon, Jiang Zuo finished his transformation. ’Hmm, it’s a little off, but not a big deal.’

By now, a crowd was slowly gathering. They were heading toward the shore, probably to check on the Flying Fish.

Jiang Zuo had no interest in those fish. They were merely derivative fish-monsters, not even worthy of being called Spirit Beasts.

Their power was fleeting.

If their integration had completed, they might have been decent, but now they were nothing but loose sand.

Walking along the Seven Emotions Coast, Jiang Zuo slowly entered the periphery of people’s vision.

This way, his appearance at least wouldn’t seem too abrupt.

Now that things were back to normal, he planned to find a place to rest and wait for Su Qi to return.

But as he walked, he suddenly spotted a stall.

A sign on it read: Kill a Water Spirit, Get a Spirit Stone.

Jiang Zuo glanced over curiously. Back when he was an ordinary person, he had seen similar things, and they were usually scams.

’But Cultivators do this kind of thing, too?’

Still, Jiang Zuo was quite curious. A Water Spirit wasn’t a Spirit Beast.

He knew of many types of Water Spirits.

But there wasn’t a single one that couldn’t be killed.

Not even one that was difficult to kill.

’So, is this a new species?’

Jiang Zuo strode toward it.

「A certain space in the Holy Land」

Jingyue was sprawled on the ground. The trial had left her in a sorry state, but the feeling of leveling up was awesome.

She was now 3.5.

"HA HA, I can finally get out! I wonder if the little grumbler will complain."

Just then, Jingyue stood up.

Flashes of the Healing Technique pulsed around her. It was a perk for completing the trial. As the Saintess, if she didn’t even get this benefit, then this secret chamber space was just too stingy.

But as Jingyue walked to the door, ready to leave...

She froze for a moment, then said, "Little Wild Cat? What’s that? What happened during my seclusion?"

Of course, that wasn’t the most important thing. The most important thing was the four words that appeared over the exit: "New trial now loading..."

Jingyue: "..."

’Are they dead set on killing me?’

’Gotta run.’

A moment later, Jingyue appeared in the Saintess’s Secret Chamber.

If she hadn’t escaped so quickly, she might have met her end in there.

The moment Jingyue came out, she regained her Saintess privileges.

Then she discovered a video recording.

Without hesitation, she watched it.

She quickly found out where the Little Wild Cat came from. ’But why the nickname Little Wild Cat? And why can’t it be summoned at will?’

’Then what’s the use of having it?’

’To take someone down with me?’

’Is Qiong Qi stronger than Chaos?’

Jingyue shook her head. ’That can’t be right. There must be some other reason.’

’But I can’t contact the unknown Candidacy Saintess, or else I could ask for clarification.’

Just then, Jingyue felt her sigil begin to change again.

Jingyue was now hoping a messaging function would appear on the sigil, and it was a real possibility.

After all, she had just used one not long ago.

’It was limited before, but it should be universal this time, right?’

Soon, Jingyue felt herself standing on a leaf again.

This time, she didn’t see a branch. Instead, she saw something extra on the leaf beneath her feet.

’It looks like a new little leaf has sprouted.’

Jingyue crouched down to take a look, and two words appeared in her mind: Summoning Mirror.

"Summoning Mirror? What’s that?"

Curious, Jingyue then exited the upgrade state.

’So the upgrade was just a Summoning Mirror?’

’Even if there were other miscellaneous things, they must not be important?’

’That must be it.’

But after she exited, she understood what the Summoning Mirror was.

To put it simply, it was a set of data cards.

Within the Summoning Mirror were three Summon Cards.

One was for Chaos, one was for that spear, and the last one was for the Little Wild Cat, Qiong Qi.

Jingyue then pulled up the Little Wild Cat’s card.

The Little Wild Cat’s profile appeared:

[Descendant of Qiong Qi, born of a Qiong Qi and a member of the Chaos clan. Her advent is highly unusual.]

[Possessing the abilities of a Qiong Qi and the essence of Chaos. Resistance should not be attempted by anyone below Tier Nine.]

[A projection form may be summoned by a Tier Four. If you experience discomfort, please cease the Summoning.]

[Nickname ’Little Wild Cat’ bestowed by the unknown Candidacy Saintess.]

[Eligible Summoners: Saintess Jingyue, unknown Candidacy Saintess.]

After reading it, Jingyue wasn’t even concerned about whether she could summon it anymore. This thing was far beyond her expectations.

As for the unknown Candidacy Saintess, that person was truly anything but simple.

She really had no idea how this male Candidacy Saintess had managed it.

’He only seemed to be Tier One before, right?’
