Chapter 17 - Summoning a Spiritual Pet (Part 2)

..... Spiritual pets form a spiritual bond with their master which connects their soul together for the rest of their lives.

A spiritual pet who has bonded with a cultivator is their utmost loyal companion.

When a cultivator dies, the spiritual pet will die with them.

That's why spiritual pets are formed through mutual consent where the pet fully knows what it means to form a spiritual connection with their master.

In this bond, the spiritual pet and the master both benefit from each other. 

On one hand, the cultivator gains an utmost loyal ally and a friend who will grow stronger with them, while on the other hand the spiritual pets can nourish themselves through the cultivator's qi while staying in their dantian space.

A cultivator can only have one spiritual pet their whole lives.

They can also form another kind of bond with other beasts which is more of a mutual cooperation than a spiritual bond. 

In this case, the beast and cultivator both reach a conclusion where they will clearly know the benefits of forming a mutual contract with each other and even if one of them dies, it has no effect on the other. The only effect this mutual cooperation bond has is to prevent both parties from harming each other while staying in the contract. ]

Though the normal way to form a spiritual bond is to draw the formation for summoning ritual but 'Xue Lin' works in a different way.

This is a treasure of unknown grade which master found only 2 such in her whole life.

Mo Yuxin took out the summoning stone 'Xue Lin' from system treasury and started inspecting it.

The moment this stone appeared in her hands, her vision went black as she found herself in a black space filled with nothing but shining stars. 

She was confused for a moment but quickly calmed herself down.

'What is this place?' She thought.

"Hello, Little An, Are you there?" She called out to little An but even after waiting for a few seconds, no answer came.

She looked downwards to see if there was anything but she found that she was not in her physical body as a she was nothing but glowing golden blue orbs floating in this place.

'It seems my consciousness was sucked into the stone. But for what reason?' She thought but finding no answer, she started floating forward to try to see if something will happen.

But she floated forward for what seemed like an eternity has passed. 

With nothing but this black space filled with shining stars, she saw nothing else.

She was getting a little irritated at this whole ordeal.

But she also figured out that it might be some sort of test to test your mentality or something.

'But the question is. Who is testing me? Is it the stone or maybe..... ! Did the stone feel my divine sense? Yeah that could be it. It seems this stone sensed my divine sense and formed a connection with a spiritual beast. This spiritual beast must be the one who is testing me.' 

'This must be at least at the level of a divine beast. To trap me in this space and test me. It certainly does have a powerful soul to be able to trap me here.'

Though I could've easily gotten out of this place with my divine sense, I sensed no danger or malice towards me. 

I was also quite curious to see what will happen here.

'Hmmm... Must be about time.' 

I deliberately kept my divine sense within me to not give this little beast a scare. And I could also feel a somewhat positive feeling towards this whole ordeal.

It seems this beast has a 100% compatibility with me. So even though we haven't formed our bond yet, I could still feel it's intention and it's feeling.

In the next moment something changed.

The shining stars started shifting their position as a crack appeared above. From within the crack came a blinding blue light which caused her to close her eyelids for a second.

However when she opened her eyes she saw..... Nothing?

'what was all that for?' She thought.

'meow~~~~'

???????????????

!!!!!!!!!!!

'meow???' She thought for a second that maybe she heard wrong. 

But the moment she looked down. 

There at her feet, a small fluffy black cat stood with dots of stars all over it's body and a pair of dark blue eyes which had a certain charming effect.

'Cute!!!!' is the only word she had to describe it.

It's black furr seemed to have a bluish tint within it. It's eyes looked up at her with adorableness as she curled up against her legs as if asking me to hold her.

I was in a bit of trance from staring at her eyes as I bent down slightly and took it in my arms. 

I could feel her emotions and intentions because of our total compatibility.

I hugged her slightly in my arms and looked at her eyes in a trance as I still haven't released my divine sense.

But the next moment, I broke out of my trance like state as I let my divine sense flow again and looked at this strange creature in arms which truly resembled a cat.

And thought 'Is this my spiritual pet? A cat?'

As if sensing my thoughts, she broke free from my arms and floated upwards and came face to face with me.

I just curiously observed everything that's happening at the moment.

She came infront of my face and touched it's head against mine and The moment our heads touched, I heard it's voice inside of my head.
