Chapter 387: Meeting (1/2)
Sam and Sai arrived at the tempest valley in a few hours. Sai initially felt that he has to walk slower because of Sam, but it turned out to be another way around. Although Sam wouldn't be able to beat his top speed, he is as fast as Pre-transcendent on the Harbinger.
He can vaguely see that it is not his top speed.
After reaching the tempest valley, Sam stored his harbinger and stood there with Sai.
”It is better to let the beast out,” Sai said and Sam let the Raiju out.
Sai was a bit surprised when he saw the beast. There is some change which he can put his finger on. But he is sure that there is something that changed with this beast.
He took out the white fur just in case and all three of them started walking inside.
When they reached the vicinities of the central area with the most lightning, Sai said.
”Sam is here.”
In fact, his words aren't necessary. What he doesn't know is that the gigantic Raiju behind the lightning is already looking at Sam after they entered the valley.
It is just too lost in that face, that it didn't talk anything. The beast is all too familiar with that face. The first person to cross this valley and enter its core without dying that too, when he is just a Nascent stage cultivator.
He has seen that youth grow into a fine young man with an excellent battle prowess.
The Raiju let his very own son form a beast contract with him. After all, there are only a few people who can tame a Raiju. That is a beast which is a manifestation of pride. They are almost as arrogant as dragons.
Even in the upper realms, not all gods could tame a Raiju. There are many instances when the beast chose to commit suicide than submit.
But this powerful beast, let its direct descendant be a contract pet with a human.
One can understand their bond.
There is only one person in the world who is the witness of their relationship and that is Sai. He doesn't know why Sam's father left his Raiju in this valley before the battle. But if they were together, he couldn't guarantee the survival of the beast faction past that day.
”Sam. You look so much like him.”
Sam heard the Old voice and was shocked. He didn't expect that this beast has the ability to speak.
”Don't be surprised. Your father and I had a great relationship. He is such a great person that the heavens couldn't stand him and took him away with jealousy.”
Sam didn't know how to reply. He looked at Sai and said. ”Can you wait outside?”
He has somethings to say to this beast, but he couldn't say that with Sai present.
Sai nodded and was ready to leave. He was already prepared for this, but he thought that the beast would be the one to ask him to leave.
While Sam is looking at Sai's receding figure, the old beast is sniffing something and there is a frown on the beast's face.
After Sai left, Sam finally turned around and the beast said.
”You have a smell on you, that shouldn't exist in this world.”
Sam smiled. His expectations are right. This beast is not from this world. It is from the upper realms. As for the smell the beast was talking about, it is the smell of Yanwu and the rest.
Only at this moment, did the Old beast look at his grandson and the frown turned into astonishment.
”Why did his bloodline become pure? What did you do?”
”Bloodline Refinement,” Sam replied. This is the first thing he ever said to the beast.
”That is not possible. Bloodline refinement doesn't exist in this world. It is a higher-level technique.”
”You are right. Bloodline refinement doesn't exist in this world and so does these.” With that, he let out the beasts. Yanwu, Sky, Mia, and Shadow mouse appeared in front of them followed by Golden Ape.
The Old beast was shocked.
