Spirit Beast

Inside a Cathedral somewhere in the Holy Continent, Yun

Xiuying is currently kneeling on the floor, eyes wide from

shock.

"A-a-a Mutated Celestial Phoenix God! It is definitely his

doing! So he was over there…" With her Cultivation, how was

it possible for her not to notice it's formidable Aura? Even if

she were farther away, she would still pick it up!

"Should I— No, I will wait here patiently. Not to mention his

Church is still being established…" Although she now knows

his location, she will still wait patiently! Her stubborn

character outweighs her impatience!

"But for him to summon one here… What is going on?" If she

knew that he summoned it only for travel purposes, she would

definitely cry!

* * * * *

The Sect Mission Hall is always crowded with disciples and

Elders, making this a lively place.

However, at this moment, the place is dead silent!

Everybody there had their jaws glued to the floor, eyes

popping out, and their souls frightened to the point of already

sticking out of their body! They were shocked to the point of

not even able to stand up! The ones there with a strong heart

were kneeling on the floor, while the weaker ones were on

their butt! Some of them were so scared to the point of playing

dead! Because of this Beautiful Azure Phoenix that appeared

out of nowhere, everybody here forgot who their mother was

for a second, and their father the next!

The Azure Flames on the Phoenix glitters, almost as if it was

made of real Stars. It's beautiful Crystal Blue eyes, clear as the

sky. Just looking at it makes your Soul purer! The Majestic

and Imposing Aura it sends out naturally was enough to make

Gods and Demons tremble from awe!

"Yan Yan, it's been awhile since I've last seen you. How have

you been?" Tian Yi pets the Phoenix's head, making her wings

tremble from excitement and joy.

"Master, you're so mean. You promised to travel this Universe

with me, yet you've done nothing but sit in your house all day

and Cultivate…" She cries with injustice.

"Hahaha, I know, that's why I called you out today. Look

around, see anything different?" He laughs. Although he was

petting her head made from Azure Flames, it did not burn him

at all. It was soft and smooth like a fluffy cloud. Loving this

feeling, he always pets her, even sleeping on her back at times.

Yan Yan looks around, and her eyes glitter from surprise,

"Master! This is not the Celestial Emperor's World! Where are

we?" She did not recognize this place.

"We are in one of the 99 Mortal Worlds, World of Clouds, the

Mortal's Realm." He said.

"M-Mortal World?!? Mortal's Realm?! Erk, no wonder why

the Spirit Power Quality here is…" She does not like the Spirit

Power around here. Compared with the Spirit Power back at

the Celestial Emperor's World, it was like comparing dirty

wastewater with the water the Celestial Emperor drinks…

"But Master, what are we doing down here? What about your

father? Did he finally allow you to travel?" Knowing how

overprotective her Master's father was, it was near impossible

for him to let her Master travel at his age, which is why she

asked.

"No, I sneaked down here. He's definitely throwing a fit right

now as we speak, trying to find me." He giggles like a

mischievous young boy.

"M-Master… You did something this crazy? Remember what

happened when you made a Spirit Contract with me without

getting your father's permission?" She could not believe that

he did something this crazy!

"Yan Yan, what are you talking about? We've already said that

we'll tell him after you've Transcended. Right now you are

still in your adolescence, barely a Hundred Years Old. " He

laughs.

"Ah, you're right. Master's crazy actions have made me

forget. Hehehe. " She also laughs with him.

"T-Tian Yi, w-what is going on?" Xuan Wanshan still in

shock, asks her calm disciple who is currently laughing with

the Phoenix. They were like two mischievous kids laughing at

their little stunt.

"This is one of my Spirit Beast, Yan Yan." He introduces this

Beautiful Phoenix like it was normal.

"Spirit Beast?!"

She was even more shocked now! That Phoenix is his Spirit

Beast?!?! These who owns a Spirit Beast are called Spirit

Beast Tamers. Spirit Beast Tamers fights with their Spirit

Beast by supplying their Spirit Beast with their Cultivation,

increasing their strength overall.

Spirit Beasts, a Magic Beast that has been tamed by a

Cultivator. Their main purpose is to protect the Master and

grow stronger with him or her! In order to get a Spirit Beast,

you have to make a Spirit Contract with the Magic Beast. You

can only make a Spirit Contract if the other party agrees, or

else it will not work out.

That is only if they were on equal footing. If the Cultivator is

way stronger than the Magic Beast it is trying to Contract, they

can forcefully make them submit to the Contract, making it a

Forced Spirit Contract. But this is not suggested, because the

bond between the Master and Spirit Beast is crucial, just like a

Master and Disciple. If the Magic Beast was forced into

making the Spirit Contract, then they'll definitely feel some

kind of hatred towards the Master, making it an inadequate

Bond.

A Spirit Beast can have a higher Cultivation than their Master

if the Spirit Beast accepts the Contract on its own will. If it's a

Forced Spirit Contract, the Spirit Beast will normally be

weaker than their Master. You can only have a certain amount

of Spirit Beasts Contracted at one time, which is why

everybody chooses carefully.

If the Master dies, the Spirit Beast also dies, because they are

bonded by their souls, making this even more serious to the

Spirit Beasts. However, if the Spirit Beast dies first, the Master

will at most have their souls injured, damaging their

Cultivation. Why? Because only Cultivators can initiate a

Spirit Contract!

Most people, even in the higher Realms, are only able to have

one Spirit Beast at a time. Only these born with a unique soul

can Contract more than one, at most three.

Once you have a Spirit Beast, they will live in your Dantian,

protecting it. If you have more than one, they'll protect other

places, such as the Soul. The Master can also use special

Cultivation Techniques given by the Spirit Beast, making them

even more powerful! This is why most people want to have a

Spirit Beast, to protect their Cultivation from being crippled

and to gain power! However, not every Cultivator can make a

Contract with Magic Beasts. As a matter of fact, many

Cultivators are not able to make a Contract no matter what.

Why? Because they were not born with this talent. Only

Cultivators born with a Spirit Gate in their Soul can have

Spirit Beasts!

Without a Spirit Gate in their Soul, they will never be able to

have a Spirit Beast! Only 1 in 10,000 are born with a Spirit

Gate in their Soul!

At the end of the day, Spirit Beasts want a Master to help them

Cultivate and ascend faster, while Cultivators will use the

Spirit Beast's power to make them even stronger! A win-win

situation! But this only applies to the lower Realms, and not

the Realms at the top!

"B-but… A Phoenix?" Xuan Wanshan cries bitterly in her

heart.

Even to a Spirit King like her, a Phoenix was a Holy Beast, a

Legendary Creature! In the entire Mortal's Realm, only the

Phoenix's Continent has a Phoenix. It was even their entire

Continent's Protector, a Guardian Spirit! When a Spirit Beast

protects something big like a Continent or Sect, they are

considered as a Guardian Spirit! To Mortals like them,

Phoenixes and Dragons were Legendary Creatures. So

Legendary that almost all people will live their whole lives

without even seeing one! But now not only is she seeing one,

but it was also even her disciple's Spirit Beast! What did this

mean? This meant that her disciple could already walk around

the Mortal's Realm like a walking Phoenix's Continent! For

him to have something like this, she's now even starting to

question why he even chose her as his Master. With that much

power, why does he even need a Master?

"Yan Yan, this is my Master, Xuan Wanshan." Tian Yi

introduces his Master to his Spirit Beast.

"MASTER?!" She was instantly shocked even more than these

Mortals around her! As someone who was born in the

Celestial Emperor's Realm, of course, she knew what it meant

for him to have a Master. Forget about her Master sneaking

down to a Mortal World; this matter was hundred of times

worse!

"Eh–Umm—Ehh…" She was so shocked that she did not

know what to think in this situation!

She walks in front of Xuan Wanshan and with her head bowed,

she talks to her with Divine Sense, "G-Greetings, Master's

Master. I was born without a name, but Master named me Yan

Yan."

"Ah–Ehh–I–Greetings to you too." Xuan Wanshan did not

know how to act and returned with a bow! How was one

supposed to act when a Phoenix greets them with a bow? She

had no idea!

"Next is my Personal Servant—." Tian Yi tried introducing

Meng Xiang, who was currently curled up into a ball from

fear.

"…. Meng Xiang, don't be afraid, she won't bite you." He

walks over to her, picks her up and walks back to Yan Yan.

"!!!!!! He also found a Personal Servant?! And a little Mortal

at that?!" The shock increases in Yan Yan's heart. What the

hell is going on! Her Master keeps on picking up things he's

not supposed to! First a Master, now a Personal Servant?! She

does not know who's more shocked at this moment, the

Mortals or Her?!

"Meng Xiang, you can just imagine her as a little chicken— or

a big chicken for you… See? She's not biting." Tian Yi carries

the frightened Meng Xiang to stand in front of the

dumbfounded Yan Yan.

"LITTLE CHICKEN?!" Yan Yan cries in her heart. Her

Master was giving her weird nicknames just to make this little

Mortal feel better…

"Big Chicken?" Meng Xiang finally looks up to see the

beautiful Phoenix in front of her. Because Tian Yi was

carrying her, she did not feel as scared anymore.

She stares at this Phoenix in front of her carefully, "Un. Big

Brother's right, she's just a big chicken on fire." She nods to

herself.

"Can I touch her?" She looks at Tian Yi with questioning eyes,

scared of the flames on her body.

"Un, the flames won't hurt you." He nods and extends his

arms until Meng Xiang can reach with her short arms.

"So soft!" Meng Xiang smiles once she touches Yan Yan's

flames. They were softer than clouds!

"….." Yan Yan cries in her heart more. For the first time in her

almost hundred years of life, someone other than her Master is

petting her, and a Mortal at that…

"Okay, now let's start our journey to the Phoenix's Continent.

Yan Yan, we'll be able to travel around now." He smiles at the

Phoenix with watery eyes.

"Yes, Master!" Despite her current sour feelings, she instantly

becomes excited, "Finally we get to travel! I've been waiting

for this day for five years!"

Tian Yi made the Spirit Contract with her when he was only

13 Years Old.

Tian Yi jumps onto her back carrying Meng Xiang, "Master,

sit here." patting Yan Yan's back, telling her to sit there.

"…. Tian Yi, you're telling me that we'll be traveling to

Phoenix's Continent on a Phoenix?" She did not believe her

ears! They'll be flying around on a Phoenix there? Is he

cracking a joke with her again? Is this not smacking Phoenix's

Continent's face? To use their most worshiped God, a Phoenix

like a horse?

"Of course. That's why I summoned her." He looks at her with

an ignorant face. Why else would he summon her if not for

traveling?

Looking at his ignorant face, she crosses out the possibility of

him joking in her heart.

"…." She still stands there speechless. Did he summon a

Phoenix just to travel? She'll be riding on a Phoenix just to

travel? Is she dreaming or is she still dreaming?

"Looks like there's still a lot more to know about this new

disciple of mine…" She cries in her heart and jumps onto Yan

Yan's back.

"So this is what a Phoenix's body feels like?" She touches Yan

Yan's back, feeling bewildered. This is her first time touching

a Phoenix, not to mention riding on one!

"…. This is the first time someone other than my Master is

riding on me, two of them too…" She cries bitterly in her

heart. She is now definitely more shocked than the Mortals

around her.

"Okay, Yan Yan, go slowly, or you won't be able to see the

scenery." He reminds her. If she flew with her full speed,

they'd be there in the next second, making summoning her to

lose its purpose. He only summoned her to let her experience

traveling, or he would've just flown there by himself.

"Yes, Master." Flapping her Beautiful Wings, she flies into the

air, leaving a trail of Azure Flames behind like a Heavenly

Road.

"......…"

Even after many minutes, the Disciples and Elders there are

still in shock. Unable to move, they can only stare

dumbfoundedly at the Heavenly Road made of Azure Flames

in the sky slowly disappear.
