581 Beasts Have Feelings (1/2)
It warmly rubbed up against Zong Shou's leg, and also licked his arm.
Zong Shou was startled, wondering what was happening. He was feeling really surprised, and \”Tanqiu\” opposite him was also stunned, totally speechless.
A moment later, the person broke out into a laugh, \”So that was the case, it really is the energy of the Saint King? My elder sister was right. My Common People Path actually gave rise to a Saint King…\”
Zong Shou was startled. Weren't those just rumors? Even if they were real, how was it possible?
That Tanqiu directly made the words obvious. \”The Qilin is fierce, but it is actually a kind beast, born from the energy of Heaven and Earth, seen by people as a sign of prosperity. It was said that once a Saint Emperor appears, a Qilin will appear too. The reason this Water Qilin would be so close to you, also means…\”
While he said that, that \”Tanqiu\” looked over, his gaze totally weird. There were emotions, thoughts, anticipation, and also disbelief, \”It is already treating you on the same level as those Saint Emperors of ancient times!\”
Zong Shou was startled as he looked at that beast beside him, which had already shrunk to the size of a lion.
He frowned and took in a deep breath. Zong Shou then shook his head, \”What prosperity, what Saint Emperor appears, and Qilin appears, I don't believe it!\”
Those few Saint Emperors of ancient times might have really existed, and they should have been respected and worshipped for their governing skills.
Those so-called Qilin myths were definitely randomly added in by people from the future.
After all, the future tens of thousands of years from now definitely wouldn't believe in such mysterious things.
\”There were indeed some areas which were added in by others. However, during the ancient era, beside each Saint Emperor there would be a Qilin, that was the truth! Speaking of which, my senior brother specifically checked; although he didn't know the reason, he had said the same thing to us. The aura of each Saint King would be beneficial to the Qilin, which was why the moment they went away from their King Path, the Qilin would also leave…\”
Zong Shou listened quietly, and decided that this explanation was one that he could accept.
However, how could a person like him actually be regarded on the same level as those ancient Saint Emperors? Why did he felt more preposterous the more that was said, and he was a little embarrassed…
It was either there were problems with this Water Qilin, or that \”Tanqiu\” was talking nonsense...
Tanqiu laughed once more with a mocking intent, \”Do you know that if your Qilin appears in the world, those Confucians would kowtow to you and worship you as the Saint Ruler? Think about it, if those corrupted Confucians find out that their unbeatable Saint Ruler, ancient Saint King, was actually like you, what kind of expression will they have? Would they swallow all the Confucian classics, like the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the Mean?\”
\”Eh?\” Zong Shou was startled, disregarding Tanqiu's words. \”MY Qilin?\”
This Water Qilin had at most for some reason felt closer to him, but it didn't have any connection with him and couldn't be said to be his…
\”You didn't notice? Parasitic life seal, life and death contract!\” As Tanqiu said that, he pointed at Zong Shou's left hand. \”The Qilin has this natural ability that it can use the seal to obtain other people's essence energy. However, the person who receives its seal will have benefits. Thus living and dying together was fair!\”
Zong Shou looked at his left hand, seeing that the place where the Water Qilin had licked suddenly had a red mark.
It wasn't a seal, but a rune. Using spiritual energy to activate it, he now had a thread of connection with this Qilin.
There were threads of essence energy being sucked away. However, Zong Shou could also obtain large amounts of water element spiritual energy from within, each of them gaining what they needed.
He was totally stunned. He gave up on the chance on the Book of Universe and ran over to swallow a water element God beast which could combat the Sky Burning Flame, not to build some life and death contract with this Water Qilin.
However, since this Water Qilin came to his side, his conflicting Dual Meridians weren't as painful as before.
He calmed down a little.
\”This is the truth about the auspicious beast Qilin, swallowing other living beings' essence energy to grow…\”
When Tanqiu said that, he smiled and asked, \”Are you worrying about your bloodline conflict? Now you can be at ease! I came here to help you solve this matter! You are Xuanshuang's disciple, and I can't let you die just like that. Hehe, if you fell just like that, wouldn't I not be able to see the nice show in the future?\”
Zong Shou's eyes lit up. \”Solve? Do you know the reason?\”
Even he felt that the changes in his body were weird. He had obviously used yin and yang to mediate it, and it had stabilized. However, in the blink of an eye more changes occured. He couldn't think of the reason.
\”Bloodline flowing down! You had been through it once, so why didn't you think of it?\” Tanqiu shook his head slightly, filled with helplessness like he was talking to someone who was dumb and couldn't be taught. \”You are the only son of that person in his life, and the person he is closest to, which was why the influence you received was the biggest. The rise of the bloodline should be a good thing… but unfortunately, to you it is a calamity!\”
Those words stopped in his ears, like the bell in a morning, jolting him to his senses.
...Zong Weiran? His father…
In the original history, although his father gave up on the Book of Eon Extreme Life for him and dropped several Grades, he was still called the Nine Tail Fox King and Maniac Blood Monster Saint!
He had already advanced to the Nine-tail level!
Who knows where he went, for his cultivation to have progressed so quickly that he Awakened the ancestral bloodline and advanced to the Nine-tail level!
