The Legendary & Mythological Qilin?

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The shaking in the entire small dimension seemed to destroy the space around it when finally Ling Tian had arrived in front of the two spheres of the Holy Shrine.

"Is he really the one chosen for the Holy Shrine...?" Linqi murmured in astonishment, not taking his eyes off of Ling Tian for a second.

Woosh!

An explosion of amazing force and majesty completely covered the Ling Tian when the two spheres began to shake each other ferociously.

Ling Tian was right in front of the two mysterious spheres, but he had not even touched them, on the contrary, he was feeling a strange sensation that seemed to come from his own Soul and Spirit and was heading towards the two spheres.

Boom!

"But what?!"

When his Soul seemed to 'connect' to the two spheres, Ling Tian felt that at the same time his Consciousness Sea began to slowly flow away and almost all of his Spiritual Energy began to go into one of the two spheres, specifically the golden sphere.

The golden sphere began to tremble even more while at the same time it also began to shine brightly, as if something was trying to come out of it in exchange for swallowing more of Ling Tian's Spiritual Energy.

A feeling of warmth gradually began to be felt inside his body as time began to pass and his Spiritual Energy continued to be drained.

'It is as if these things are feeding off my Spiritual Energy!' Ling Tian gasped heavily as he screamed inside, realizing that he was in a weird situation and that he had never been before.

Ling Tian was also feeling heavy along with a heat sensation filling his body, but somehow he felt he needed to release that inner heat, and all he was thinking about was his women for a specific reason.

He was feeling as if he had been poisoned by an aphrodisiac...

The mysterious force that seemed even on a par with the same force of the void continued to make the small dimension of the place rumble, shaking the space to such an extent that it formed constant creases and almost broke the space.

The other sphere that was white-silver in color was also extracting a portion of his Spiritual Energy, but to a lesser extent, unlike the other sphere that was the color of gold.

It was like a 90-10 portion...

Ling Tian remembered what Linqi had told him earlier and was sure he needed a companion for what was happening.

Most likely the woman would feed the silvery white sphere, while he would fill the golden sphere with his Spiritual Energy.

Fwoosh!

However, before his inner heat continued to rise and his Spiritual Energy continued to be drained, the connection to the mysterious spheres was severed and Ling Tian's Spiritual Energy was no longer absorbed.

Ling Tian was surprised by this sudden event, but he immediately let out a sigh of relief when the heat inside him dissipated as well.

'If this had continued, I don't know what would have happened to me...' Ling Tian thought with some fear.

Even though his Spiritual Energy was being drained, it would be no problem as he could replenish it with the few pills he had to replenish his energy. But the problem with the internal heat he was feeling had no way of dealing with it at this time.

Despite the fact that his Spiritual Energy was no longer being drained, Ling Tian could still feel that there was now a deep connection with the two spheres that were still floating in front of him without any huge change.

The only difference was that the golden colored sphere seemed brighter and exuded a little bit of power. Ling Tian felt that the power emanating from the golden sphere was his own Spiritual Energy, as it resonated with him.

Looking at the two spheres in front of him, Ling Tian took them without any restrictions.

The Holy Shrine shook once again with greater ferocity when Ling Tian took the two spheres, and then finally calmed down. Even the wild feeling of the animals and the breath of nature that came from the Holy Shrine ceased, disappearing into thin air.

Now the only thing that continued to emanate that ancient feeling were the two spheres that Ling Tian held in his hands.

Interestingly, the two spheres that were so exquisite, had a slightly oval shape, giving the sensation that they were like two curious eggs holding a creature inside them.

His right hand had the golden sphere, while his left hand had the silver-white sphere.

The golden sphere on his right hand conveyed a familiar feeling, as if it were part of him from the beginning.

Hmm?

When Ling Tian laid his eyes on the silvery white sphere in his left hand, a feeling of longing and love, but at the same time nostalgic, that seemed to contain even a deep piercing pain, filled his being. It even seemed to be a familiar feeling, as if he had felt it before.

Right away, the image of Yun Mengxin invaded his mind, as if something bad had happened to her and he was feeling the worst and deepest pain in the world, with his heart being pierced by thousands of arrows and being cut thousands of times with many blades.

Before that deep pain continued to invade him, instantly a feeling of love so great and enormous filled his being and embraced his Soul, relieving his Spirit and comforting him.

Ling Tian felt as if Yun Mengxin was by his side at this moment, lovingly embracing him while comforting his Spirit.

He was feeling so strange about all these deep and strong feelings he was getting.

"I will have to try this with Mengxin when I return..." Ling Tian whispered as he continued to observe the two spheres.

Ling Tian didn't know why, but he had a premonition that something would happen when he was with Yun Mengxin. She was the only one of the women who also felt her Spirit and Soul shaking like him when this Holy Shrine was calling them.

Looking around at the entire Holy Shrine, Ling Tian noticed that it now looked like an ordinary Shrine. That earlier mysterious and even majestic feeling no longer radiated from it.

Even the barrier around the Shrine that was preventing Linqi from entering had disappeared as well.

When Ling Tian turned around to return to Linqi, he was stupefied, his breath stopping and his heart beating fiercely.

Linqi was no longer there, but now there was a big immortal beast watching him.

But it was the appearance of this immortal beast that left Ling Tian astonished and stunned.

Its appearance was that of a deer, with horse hooves, head shaped as between a wolf and a dragon. It also had a dragon's tail. Its chest and torso are covered with precious scales, and it had a very marked spine similar to that of the dragon in the legends. The skin or scales were of a silvery gray color and seemed to shine subtly. It also had two antlers similar to those of a deer, exquisitely formed.

A mysterious force emanated from the body of this immortal beast, giving as it were an illusion that flames of a majestic blue color surrounded its entire body.

Ling Tian could not believe what he was observing with his own eyes while thinking of such a mythological creature of the heavens.

A Qilin!

This was one of the legendary ancient mythological beasts of antiquity told in the legends!

The famous Qilin was a celestial beast characterized by its wisdom and majesty, helping by means of advice and enlightenment all beings equally!

Now this legendary and mythological Qilin had appeared before him...

The only breath emanating from this majestic beast was clearly powerful, making it clear that really there was an Immortal Beast in the place.

However, Ling Tian did not feel any danger from his instincts. He even thought that this immortal beast also seemed to be watching him stunned, harboring the same kinds of feelings as he did.

When Ling Tian did not know what was happening, he noticed that the Qilin began to gradually shrink and its shape was also beginning to change, until it finally took the form of an old man.

It was Linqi...

For a few seconds, Ling Tian could not think clearly about what had happened a few moments ago. This was something that even the Immortal World could not believe even if people witnessed it with their eyes.

But his mind was always working at an incredible speed, and he quickly adapted to what he was seeing.

Linqi had confirmed to him that he was a member of the animal race, so Ling Tian connected the points with what he had seen.

Actually the beings of the animal race could see themselves as human beings, but they could transform themselves into their respective forms as well.

"Sorry if I surprised you..." Linqi appeared beside Ling Tian and added with a somewhat helpless smile: "The Holy Shrine released a force that even I could not resist and prevented me from maintaining human form. Moreover, that my power is also diminishing after all this time..."

At the moment when Ling Tian's Spiritual Energy was being taken over by the mysterious spheres, an unknown force caused Linqi to transform directly into his respective lineage.

"Don't worry, Senior, I'm just surprised that you are the legendary Qilin..." Ling Tian put his fists together as a sign of respect. He had great respect for this celestial creature.

The Qilin was a celestial and legendary creature for being wise and majestic, as well as humble and peaceful, avoiding most of the path of fighting and violence in life. These creatures also possessed immense knowledge and likewise helped people in their paths, so it was not strange for Ling Tian that Linqi could see through him and what was going on in his life, helping him by giving him advice and encouraging him.

'Then he turned out to be the legendary celestial Qilin...' Ling Tian thought inwardly as he remembered the name Linqi had told him.

Linqi... Qilin...

Ling Tian smiled without knowing whether to laugh or cry when he realized that Linqi had inverted the name of the Qilin and used it as his own name to refer to himself.

"Don't worry, I'm just a peaceful being." Linqi gently nodded with a soft smile and then said as he shifted his attention to the two spheres in his hands, "Then the prophecy was true..."

"Prophecy?" Ling Tian tilted his head as he heard what Linqi had mentioned.
